Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

"He was our train's cook. Although we were in a superior-subordinate relationship, I always treated Qianjie as a friend. He was passionate, hardworking, and never complained."

"His love for the culinary profession is no less than my passion for my friends. Qianjie is just not good at expressing himself... He is actually very gentle at heart, and his cooking is exceptionally delicious."

Xia Yuan meticulously recorded the train manager's evaluation of employee Qian Jie in his small notebook.

"The food is particularly delicious? I don't think so. Not only are the staff on your train rude, but they can't even satisfy a customer's need for a mere packet of ketchup. It's better if they're dead."

Mebius arrived in front of Alicia in a flying machine that resembled a book, and adjusted the height of the machine to be a head above her as he looked down at her.

"How could you say such an outrageous thing!"

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

"What, am I being too harsh? I'm just stating the facts. With his terrible attitude towards others, he must have made countless enemies. His death is just karma."

Mebius spread his hands, his tone revealing satisfaction.

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

At lunchtime, she had an argument with the victim. Although the victim was young, Xia Yuan's intuition told her that she couldn't treat her like an ordinary little girl.

Judging from the degree of scab formation near the wound, Qianjie was killed about half an hour ago.

Chapter 245 Mebius's Teasing

Xia Yuan checked his watch.

The watch showed 00:30 AM, about fifteen minutes after Qianjie was murdered. It was very likely that the murderer was hiding among the onlookers.

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

Xia Yuan took out his notebook and asked Mebius.

"Oh dear, great detective, are you doubting me?"

When Mebius heard the compliment on his beauty, he smiled slightly. After all, no one dislikes praise, especially when the person praising him is the famous detective.

"It's not suspicion, just a routine inquiry. After all, you and the victim, Qianjie, had some kind of verbal altercation during lunch this morning."

"Alright, go ahead and ask, great detective. I'm in a good mood right now~"

Xia Yuan: "Name?"

The emerald-green girl said, "Möbius, but it's Möbius as in Möbius~ I wonder if you've ever heard of the endless Möbius strip, which is like an infinite loop? That's where the meaning and origin of the name come from."

Xia Yuan: "Alright, esteemed Miss Infinite...Ms. Möbius, how old are you this year?"

Möbius: "Great Detective, of course I'm still just a child, but if today passes, I might already be an adult~"

Xia Yuan: "Alright, Ms. Mébius, who is now an adult, may I ask what you were doing half an hour before the incident?"

Before Mebius could speak, Alicia's sobbing suddenly stopped.

"It must be you... it must be you holding a grudge!"

"The anger in your heart kept growing, which eventually led you to come to Qianjie's room in the early morning and kill her. Detective, you must seek justice for Alicia and avenge Qianjie so that he can be exonerated in the afterlife."

Alicia looked at Xia Yuan with hopeful eyes, her eyes red from crying.

"Huh? Alicia, are you kidding me? I stayed in the room and never left. I was still sleeping wrapped in a blanket at the time of the incident. If it weren't for that scream outside waking me up, I wouldn't have even come out."

Xia Yuan pondered Möbius's words.

"Then, Miss Mébius, who can vouch for your claims?"

"Great Detective, do you enjoy having someone watching you, observing you, and scrutinizing you while you sleep at night? Oh, but thinking about it, that makes sense. After all, with your reputation, who could refuse to spend the night with a famous detective just by beckoning?"

Mebius replied jokingly to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan remained unmoved, observing Mebius's every move with a blank expression.

"My dear detective, if you used your brain for even a second, you would know from the wound on Qianjie's chest in the room that I could kill someone with such a petite body wielding a sword longer than myself. Or are you still lost in the sweet embrace of the bed just now, detective?"

Mebius paused for a moment, then changed the subject and continued:

"Or perhaps the great detective wants me to keep you company? That's not impossible, but you'll have to be patient today, some things can't be rushed~"

Mebius's words were full of provocation.

Xia Yuan didn't respond. Judging from the other person's words, Xia Yuan's previous guess was further confirmed.

The girl in front of me, named Mebius, is very meticulous.

His logical thinking ability and adaptability far surpassed those of his peers. Even when he saw the chef named Qianjie lying in a pool of blood, his expression remained completely calm and unchanged.

Xia Yuan silently added Mebius to his list of suspects in the case.

First, the other party has a clear motive for murder and meticulous logical thinking ability.

II. Explanation of the flying device under the other party... This green-clad girl has extremely strong hands-on modification abilities. It would not be difficult for her to kill Qianjie, who was staying in the room, using some kind of prop she created.

The person in charge of the steam train, Alicia, was cleared of suspicion by Xia Yuan.

The expression on the other person's face and the way they were angry at Mebius for slandering Qianjie... clearly indicated that they were not the kind of person who would hurt their friends. On the contrary, Xia Yuan believed that the other person cherished their friends very much.

Xia Yuan noticed by chance that there seemed to be an unusual strand of purple hair inside the edge of Alicia's pink hair.

Filled with curiosity and doubt, Xia Yuan asked:

"Ellie, have you ever dyed your hair? Or have you always had pink hair since you were little?"

"Of course, Detective, Ellie has always had long pink hair."

However, when this question was raised, Alicia's expression became slightly flustered, and her eyes kept darting away... She dared not look Xia Yuan in the eye.

But the next second, Xia Yuan suddenly recalled the strand of purple hair he had found on Qian Jie's chef's apron.

Xia Yuan: "Ms. Ai Li, what were you doing half an hour ago?"

Alicia: "Detective, of course Alicia is resting. Beautiful girls should go to bed early and get up early to maintain their youthful beauty."

"So, Ellie, as the person in charge of the train, if any employees are not at work or on duty, do you go to their dormitories to check on them?"

Xia Yuan asked again.

"Of course not! There are only three people on this train: me, Dr. Su, and Chef Qianjie... How could Ai Li possibly go to their rooms to check on them? That's a boy's privacy!"

As Alicia spoke, she looked at Qianjie lying in a pool of blood, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"So...Ms. Ellie, did you have any contact with Qianjie today?"

"Of course not~ After all, Qianjie is either on his way to make fried rice or in the process of making fried rice, so Ai Li can't even get close to him if she wants to."

The other person's expression didn't seem like they were lying, but how do you explain the strand of purple hair on the victim's body?

A hint of suspicion has also arisen regarding Alicia.

To clear the other party of suspicion, you must first understand the matter.

Three suspects have now come into Xia Yuan's view: first, the initial eyewitness, Padofelis; second, Miss Mebius, who had a conflict with the victim, Qian Jie; and finally, Alicia, the flight attendant who is hiding some secrets.

"Hmm... What's wrong, Prometheus? What happened?"

Chapter 246 Sleepy Kiana

Kiana rubbed her sleepy eyes and groggily made her way through the crowd.

"Kiana, a murder has just occurred here. Advisor Xia Yuan and I are investigating the matter. By the way... didn't Himeko Murata come with you, Kiana?"

Seeing the arrival of the most worrisome bug in the history of Destiny stir a ripple deep within even Prometheus, an artificial intelligence.

She was trying to figure out how to stop Kiana from entering the crime scene and prevent her from ruining the incident.

Kiana stretched, and the cat paw pad behind her swayed back and forth.

The white-haired girl with a ponytail yawned and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Don't even mention it... Aunt Himeko has been sleeping soundly in her room ever since she finished drinking. No matter how much we call her, we can't wake her up, even though there's such a loud noise coming from outside."

Just then...

Kiana, still not fully awake from her sleep, saw the masked man lying in a pool of blood in the room in the corridor, and his body suddenly twitched.

Kiana, thinking she was still half asleep, quickly rubbed her eyes.

But the next second... the man in the chef's apron lying in a pool of blood twitched again.

The girl's drowsiness vanished instantly.

"Detective...that man...the man lying on the floor in the room...his hand seems to have moved, moved...could he be a zombie?!"

Kiana seemed somewhat flustered.

In contrast, Prometheus and Xia Yuan appeared calm and composed.

"Kiana, it seems you really need some basic training. It's a normal physiological phenomenon for the body to twitch and move for a period of time after death."

But Kiana was horrified as she watched the scene unfold in the room. She saw Qianjie, who had suffered a fatal wound to his chest, slowly rising from the pool of blood.

"No... I really didn't lie, this masked man really has come back to life! If you don't believe me, see for yourselves!"

Kiana, tense and anxious, kept patting Prometheus's shoulder, trying to get him to turn around and look at the room.

Hearing Kiana's panicked cry, Xia Yuan turned around to look.

Even he was astonished by what he saw before him; the man who should have died had miraculously stood up as if nothing had happened.

"Is the other person really still human?"

At this moment, Xia Yuan had this question in his mind.

But when the train conductor, Alicia, saw Qianjie miraculously stand up, she couldn't contain the joy in her eyes.

"Thank goodness... Qianjie, are you alright?!"

Qianjie, who had crawled out of the pool of blood, ignored Alicia and instead checked his face to make sure the mask on his face hadn't fallen off. After confirming that it hadn't, Qianjie also looked at the onlookers inside and outside the room.

"What are you all doing in my room in the middle of the night?"

A hoarse, deep, mature male voice came from behind the mask to everyone's ears.

"The corpse actually...opened its mouth?! Uncle, are you a human or a ghost?!"

Kiana's words were somewhat hesitant.

Clearly, as a detective destined for greatness, Detective Chongchong's psychological resilience still needs improvement.

However, when Kiana raised this question, Qianjie fell silent for a moment until Alicia's worried voice came from not far away.

"Qianjie, are you really alright? Should I call Dr. Su, who's with us, to treat you?"

Alicia looked at the wound on Qianjie's chest, large enough to pull out a tissue, and asked.

"unnecessary."

Qian Jie emphasized.

Cute Lisia had already left the room talking to herself. She must have gone to find the accompanying Dr. Su. Although the victim had miraculously survived by some unknown means, the murderer who attacked her had not yet been caught.

Let's assume the murderer is among the onlookers.

If the murderer knew that Qianjie was not dead, he might commit the crime again.

While Alicia was searching for Dr. Su, Xia Yuan conducted a few simple tests on Qian Jie to ensure he was mentally sound, and then asked the train chef a few questions.

Perhaps the other party witnessed the murderer's true face firsthand.

"Hello, Master Qian, I am Tianming's special advisor. I would like to ask you a few questions."

Xia Yuan took out his identification.

"Hmph, hurry up and ask. My time is very precious, and I don't have time for people like you."

Qianjie crossed his arms and said.

"Mr. Qian, what were you doing in your room before you were murdered? When the murderer broke down the door, did you see the outline and face of the person?"

The reason for asking this question was that Xia Yuan noticed that the other person had not fallen around the bed, but rather in the very center of the room, and there were many cooking recipes scattered around the table.

"I was studying the recipe and didn't pay attention at the time."

Qianjie's answer was very concise and to the point.

But after Qianjie carefully examined Xia Yuan, he suddenly added, "The person who attacked me from behind was probably about your size."

"About the same as me?"

Xia Yuan silently memorized the killer's height information. The information given by Master Qian was very valuable; there weren't many people of similar stature on this train.
