Making Honkai Impact 3, my partner is the fairy Ellie

As Xia Yuan was groping the pair of fox ears on top of Sakura's head and talking nonsense... Sakura's face gradually turned red, but Sakura had good self-control, and soon... the blush disappeared from her cheeks.

There is no doubt that the sleeping detective who was talking to himself and speaking nonsense was obviously sleepwalking.

It's time to finish him off...

But Xia Yuan's subsequent behavior and actions made Ying look helpless and surprised.

The other person held her in his arms like a princess and quickly ran towards the aisle of another corridor of the train.

Sakura has never been held in this way since she was a child, but the noise made by the other party might wake up many passengers on the train, so the assassination plan might have to be postponed.

She now even suspected that the famous detective was deliberately playing a trick on her.

But the other party's solemn expression and worried tone obviously did not sound fake. Perhaps in his dream, there really was a monster chasing him.

Xia Yuan brought Ying in his arms to his own room.

"Clara, don't be afraid. It's safe here for now. Let me help you fix your injured ankle first."

The sleeping detective continued to talk nonsense as usual.

Then...Xia Yuan placed Ying in front of the bed.

"Wait, correct the ankle?!"

Before Ying could react, Xia Yuan had already taken off the boots on her feet. With a click... Ying's ankle was dislocated.

Sakura looked at the sleepwalking detective in front of her with a complicated expression.

Then, there was another click.

Sakura corrected the dislocated ankle to its normal position.

Listening to Xia Yuan talking nonsense to himself, Ying did not use the scabbard in her hand. Even though the other party was being chased by a monster, he was willing to save a little girl whom he had just met once.

This reminds Sakura of her sister...

If I encountered the same situation as the detective's dream, and if that little girl was Rin...the famous detective published in the newspaper is very similar to me.

She really couldn't do it...

But what should she do about her sister's illness? Ying was in a state of confusion.

But then, Xia Yuan suddenly stood up, picked up the sword at Ying's waist, kicked the door open, and ran straight to the aisle of the next carriage of the train.

"Border-breaking creature, die!"

The other party snatched his sword and shouted in the carriage.

Ying hurriedly chased after him, and Xia Yuan went straight to another compartment on the carriage, where the name [Qianjie] was hung.

Under Ying's unbelievable and complicated expression, Xia Yuan walked out of Qianjie's room holding a blood-stained sword.

Xia Yuan just...slowly passed by Ying, returned to his room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep as if nothing had happened.

"this........"

Looking at the blood-stained sword leaning against the bed, Sakura didn't know what had happened in that room, but it was obvious that the chef on the train named Qianjie was in danger.

The noise just now was so loud that it would definitely wake up the people in the car.

The most urgent task right now... is to clear herself of suspicion as much as possible. After all, Sakura cannot explain the fact that the murder weapon was her own sword.

When the other travelers were preparing to put on their clothes and walk out of the room, Ying wiped the blood off the sword, put it back into the scabbard, blended into the shadows and quickly fled from the room where Xia Yuan was.

[He witnessed everything that had just happened, which made Him feel happy for the first time in a long time. In order to gain more pleasure...Aha continued to spy on this interesting young man and get more fun from it.]

[Under the whispers of the Star God of Joy, you gradually wake up from your sleep. ]

After waking up, Xia Yuan felt relaxed after a long time.

He hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time. Could it be that red wine really helps with sleep? It seems that I have to ask Eden for more red wine in the future. I believe that the other party will definitely smile with joy.

Xia Yuan got up from the bed with full energy. He stretched lazily and vaguely remembered that in his dream he met a white-haired girl named Clara. Uh... she seemed very cute?

Apart from remembering that the other person had bare feet and that her little face was very cute... he couldn't recall anything else in his dream. In short, Clara was very cute.

"Huh? Why would I have such an idea?"

Xia Yuan touched the back of his head somewhat bewilderedly.

"what--!"

"No, it's bad, someone's dead!"

At this moment, bursts of panicked screams outside the carriage completely broke the peace of the entire carriage.

It also broke Xia Yuan's memories.

Xia Yuan didn't have time to think about it. He was about to grab the windbreaker on the hanger and run out of the room, but he found that he had put on his windbreaker without knowing when.

Xia Yuan didn't remember that he had the habit of lying in bed and sleeping without taking off his coat, but the most important thing at the moment was the panicked voice outside the room that was probably from Padofils.

Could it be that something happened to Padova? !

Burying the doubt about "wearing a windbreaker" quietly in his heart, Xia Yuan pushed open the door and ran straight to the source of the sound.

Chapter 244: The man wearing a chef's apron lying in the room

When he rushed to the room where the scream came from, the first thing that appeared in Xia Yuan's eyes was Padofils' panic-stricken expression.

I saw her body leaning against the wall at the edge of the carriage.

Padufils pointed her finger towards the room in front of her, and the petite body of the brown-haired girl was shaking violently.

After seeing Xia Yuan's arrival...

Padua Felice acted as if she had seen a savior or grabbed a life-saving straw and threw herself on Xia Yuan.

"Mr. Detective... In the room... In the room... There is a person lying in a pool of blood!"

But Xia Yuan noticed that the brown-haired girl's hands were covered with crimson liquid, and bloody handprints remained on his windbreaker.

The girl in front of me...

[Pattofilis has been in and out of this room before]

Xia Yuan temporarily draped his windbreaker over Padua's shoulders and placed the frightened brown-haired girl in a safer place without disturbing the crime scene.

The girl's emotions are unstable now, so it's not appropriate for her to ask the other party questions.

Then...

Xia Yuan took out the disposable white gloves and foot covers he carried with him from his trouser pocket and entered the open room in front of him. There was a shoe print left on the door.

This may be the footprints left by the murderer.

Maybe the murderer kicked the door in not long ago?

What kind of deep hatred did he have with the victim that would cause him to kill the other person in such a way?

Logically speaking, my room was not far from the victim's room, so why didn't I hear the noise and movement caused by breaking the door? Was I sleeping too deeply at that time?

Another question arose in Xia Yuan's mind.

Xia Yuan looked at the doorplate on the side of the door. The words "Employees Only" were engraved on the doorplate, and behind the words "Employees Only"... the name "Qianjie" was written.

The victim lying in the middle of the room was none other than the chef named Qianjie who was travelling on the steam train.

He is also the biggest suspect in the village arson case.

Xia Yuan stepped into the room and crouched beside Qianjie. There was an extremely fatal wound on his chest, which was covered with a chef's apron, and pierced through his heart.

There is no hope...

Judging by common sense, Xia Yuan believed that the other party had lost his life and there was no possibility of saving him. But did the other party wear a mask even when sleeping?

Just when Xia Yuan wanted to take off the other person's mask...

There were bursts of whispering outside the room. It was other travelers who had rushed in after hearing the news.

"Yuan...what happened?"

Fu Hua, wearing single-frame glasses, was the first to squeeze through the crowd and arrived at the outermost side of the crime scene.

"Someone was murdered in the room half an hour ago. Hua... set up a cordon. The murderer must still be on this slowly moving steam train."

Hua nodded solemnly.

Because she found that the victim lying in a pool of blood in the room was Qianjie, the biggest suspect in the village arson case, and the other party was lying in a pool of blood and was killed.

Fu Hua still has many things to ask Qianjie.

In this way...the clues of the spontaneous combustion of his father's village were interrupted here.

"I have received the order. This place has been taken over by our Tianming Police. Please do not approach the room. Thank you for your cooperation. Consultant Xia Yuan and I will conduct an investigation and arrest the murderer as soon as possible."

In the moment when Fu Hua was stunned, Prometheus had already rushed to the outside of the room, using the giant boxing gloves on both sides of his body and his body as a cordon, and prohibited anyone from approaching the crime scene.

at this time.......

A woman with long pink hair and a sweet face came hurriedly. Her name was Alicia... She was the crew chief of this steam train and also the main person in charge of this steam train.

"Was it really Qianjie who was killed? My name is Alysia... I'm the person in charge of this steam train. Can you let me in to take a last look at Qianjie?"

With tears in her eyes, Alicia begged Prometheus, but Prometheus remained indifferent.

"I'm sorry, the person in charge on the train, no one is allowed to enter until Consultant Xia Yuan has investigated the cause of the other party's death... This will cause damage to the crime scene, please forgive me."

"principal?"

Hearing the sobbing and whimpering outside the room, Xia Yuan did not take off Qianjie's mask. He slowly stood up and walked to the train conductor named Alicia.

"Prometheus, let her in. I have something to ask the person in charge on the train."

After hearing Xia Yuan's words, Prometheus made way for him.

"What is your relationship to the victim killed in the room?"

Xia Yuan asked.

Alicia wiped the tears from her eyes with a delicate pink handkerchief and said with sobs in her voice:

“He is the chef on our train. Although we are superiors and subordinates, I have always treated Qianjie as a friend. He is passionate, hardworking and never complains.

"His love for the profession of chef is even as great as my passion for friends. Qianjie is just not good at expressing himself... He is actually very gentle at heart, and his cooking is also very delicious."

Xia Yuan recorded the train manager's comments about his employee Qianjie in the small notebook he carried with him.

"The food is especially delicious? Not necessarily. Not only are the employees on your train awful, but they can't even satisfy customers with a packet of ketchup. They'd rather die."

Mebius came to Alicia in a book-like aircraft, and adjusted the height of the aircraft to be a head higher than Alicia, looking down at Alicia.

"How could you say such outrageous words!"

Alicia covered her cheeks with a handkerchief, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Why, did I say something too much? I was just stating the facts. With his bad attitude towards others, he must have countless enemies. Being killed is karma."

Mebius spread his hands, his tone revealing satisfaction.

Xia Yuan remembered the green-haired girl in the white coat.

During lunch time, she and the victim had a verbal argument. Although the victim was not very old, Xia Yuan's intuition told her that she should not be treated as an ordinary little girl.

Judging from the extent of the scarring around the wound, Qianjie must have been killed half an hour ago.

Chapter 245: Mobius's Provocation

Xia Yuan checked his watch.

The time displayed on the watch at this time was 00:30 in the morning. About fifteen minutes had passed since Qianjie was murdered. It was very likely that the murderer was hiding among the crowd.

"Excuse me, this beautiful green lady, what were you doing half an hour ago?"

Xia Yuan took out his notes and asked Mebius.

"Hey, great detective, are you doubting me again?"

When Mebius heard the other party praising her beauty, he smiled. After all, who doesn't like to be praised and admired by others, especially when the person who praised her is the famous detective.

"It's not suspicion, it's just a routine inquiry. After all, during lunch this morning, there was some kind of verbal conflict between you and the victim, Qianjie."
