Chapter 42 The Body in the Swimming Pool
"Sister Liu Mei, why are you here too?"

As soon as he got on the train, Xia He noticed Wakasa Rumi who was sitting in the same carriage.

"How did you know?"

Taking off her sunglasses and mask, Wakasa Rumi looked at Xia He in surprise.

"I can tell at a glance, okay?" Xia He said helplessly, "Your height, figure, and habitual rubbing of your right eye... there are too many flaws. It would be strange if I couldn't recognize you."

"So powerful?" Wakasa Rumi opened her mouth wide.

She thought she had disguised herself very well, but now it seems that in front of Xia He, the "master of disguise", she is full of loopholes.

This made her think of asking Xia He to teach her the art of disguise.

"Who is this?" After checking their tickets and getting on the bus, Miyano Akemi and Akai Shuichi also came over and asked Xia He.

"My sister who lives next door just happened to meet me in the car."

"Hello, my name is Wakasa Rumi, and I'm Natsuwa's...neighbor."

As soon as Xia He finished speaking, Wakasa Rumi introduced herself to Miyano Akemi, and when she said the word "big sister", her tone was slightly heavier.

However, Miyano Akemi did not react at all, she just smiled and responded: "Ah, hello, Miss Wakasa, my name is Hirota Masami, this is Mr. Moroboshi, Mr. Moroboshi."

"Hey, Liumei, are you going to Hokkaido to play too?"

"Yeah, yes."

"That's such a coincidence!"

The two sang together.

While Wakasa Rumi was cooperating with Xia He in the acting, she was always observing Miyano Akemi out of the corner of her eye.

Is this the big sister that Xia He mentioned who is suspected to be a member of the organization?

But compared to this woman...she felt that "Zhu Xing Da" next to her was more like someone in the organization.

After a while, the three returned to their seats.

Xia He took off his schoolbag, then took out a thermos cup from it and placed it in front of Miyano Akemi.

"What is this?" Miyano Akemi looked at Xia He curiously.

Xia He twisted the lid open while explaining to Miyano Akemi, "The last few times I called you, didn't you say you had a cold and felt uncomfortable, so you didn't want to come out? This is the carrot soup I made before I went out. Drinking this will make your cold heal faster. Come and try it while it's hot."

Miyano Akemi: “.”

She thought to herself, I was just making up an excuse to fool you.

How come you really take it to heart?
There was a hint of guilt in his eyes again.

[Current favorability: 5/100]

It's been two weeks, and it finally went up by two points!

Looking at the prompts popping up in the system, Xia He felt very relieved.

He had originally wanted to give up this mission, but now it seems that there is still some hope.

However, Wakasa Rumi, who was sitting diagonally opposite the three people and watching this scene, had a look on her face that looked a little strange.

"You little brat, you made me get up so early in the morning to make soup. I thought you wanted to drink it yourself..." She muttered viciously.

If I had known this earlier, I would have put two more spoonfuls of salt in it.

……

The train was speeding along the track.

It takes about four and a half hours to drive from Beika Town to Hokkaido.

Sitting in his seat, Xia He took out his GameBoy and started playing Tetris.

Shuichi Akai used the excuse that he was still a little dizzy and leaned on Miyano Akemi's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest.

Xia He: "?"

No, man.

Are you moving a little too fast?

We've only known each other for a few days, and you can already lean on my shoulder?
So do you two have to hold hands tomorrow?

Do we have to kiss each other the day after tomorrow?

Besides, Miyano Akemi doesn't even reject it at all...

This made Xia He, who had been "licking" for two weeks and had only barely increased his favorability by 2 points, feel dissatisfied.

It's true that being handsome means you can do whatever you want!
Oh, I'm pretty handsome though...

the other side.

Although Shuichi Akai looks drowsy on the surface, he is actually very awake.

He couldn't understand why Xia He suddenly appeared in this place and was related to Miyano Akemi.

Furthermore...

Why would this guy help me hide my identity?
Did you really not recognize yourself?
Or... did he do it on purpose? The more he thought about it, the deeper his frown deepened.

After all, this was the first time that he was completely unable to figure out someone like he is now.

Even the other party is just a child of only eleven or twelve years old.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Miyano Akemi asked at this time.

"I feel a little carsick..."

"Then you should have a good rest first. When we get to the station, I'll go down and buy you some motion sickness medicine."

"it is good."

After saying that, Akai Shuichi rubbed Miyano Akemi's shoulder again.

Seeing this, Xia He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Okay, okay, you also get carsick on the Shinkansen, right?
Isn't that how you seduced Teacher Judy back then?

Bah, scumbag!

……

Four and a half hours later.

Hokkaido.

Sky Hotel.

Near the large outdoor swimming pool downstairs.

Xia He was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks, shirtless, revealing his chest and abdominal muscles that were quite inconsistent with his age.

Shuichi Akai was also standing next to him, holding an iced drink in his hand, looking around.

The two came out of the locker room together. Because Wakasa Rumi and Miyano Akemi were slower in changing into their swimsuits, they entered the venue first and waited.

"The wound on your head hasn't healed yet. Can you go swimming in the pool?" Xia He glanced at the bandage wrapped around Akai Shuichi's head.

Upon hearing this, Akai Shuichi replied seriously: "You don't have to go in the water when you come to the swimming pool. Isn't it just as fun to lie on a chair and look at the beauties?"

Xia He: "."

Although what you said makes sense, could you please say it again so that I can record it and give it to Akemi Miyano?
So, an experienced driver and a novice driver, each wearing a pair of sunglasses, lay on a deck chair, and began to admire various styles of bikinis openly.

Until five minutes later.

"Idiot, you have no eyes!"

A shrill voice came from not far away.

Following the voice, I saw a young woman with exquisite makeup pointing at Wakasa Rumi and cursing at her.

On the side, her suitcase was wide open, with the items inside scattered all over the floor.

"Didn't you bump into it yourself?" Wakasa Rumi retorted unhappily after being pointed at and scolded.

Miyano Akemi quickly stepped forward to apologize and said, "I'm sorry, my friend didn't mean it. Please forgive her."

"Be more careful when walking next time!"

After quickly stuffing the items on the ground into the suitcase, the woman complained a few more words, and then walked away towards the hotel lobby with her friend.

Wakasa Rumi was left behind, being held in place by Miyano Akemi, with a look on her face that looked like she wanted to beat someone up but had no place to vent.

"Sakurai University, Faculty of Medicine, Chiyo Mio..." At the same time, Xia He walked forward and picked up the student ID card left behind by the woman.

"Such an uncultured guy is actually from a medical university? Xia He, throw her student ID into the swimming pool!" Wakasa Rumi said still a little angry.

"Forget it, I'll just take it to the front desk."

Xia He Chongwa Sarumi blinked, "After all, we can't be as uncultured as her."

……

Three hours later.

5:30PM.

Xia He, who was already feeling a little hungry, sat up from the recliner and was about to go to the hotel restaurant to find something to eat.

Who knew that at this time...

"what!"

A scream came from the swimming pool.

Xia He and Akai Shuichi took off their sunglasses at the same time and looked towards the swimming pool.

next second.

A female body was seen floating on the water.
