Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 35 The Mystery of the Missing Anchor
Store exploration anchors are no longer a rare profession in today's society, and they can be seen in almost every city.

When a special profession is involved in some bizarre things, some people will subconsciously lean towards the supernatural.

As soon as the topic started to arise, Su Siyao's chatterbox seemed to open.

"I heard that guy was quite popular on Tik Tok. He had tens of thousands of followers in just six months and was pretty well-known in Snow City. I even went to the restaurant he visited and had dinner there before. Now, he's gone missing."

Although the profession of anchor is mixed, they are still public figures after all. Their words, deeds and even movements will be seen by more people because of the platform, thus triggering greater discussion.

As the topic unfolded, Tang Zijun also became somewhat interested. "Since he's missing, his family and friends should probably call the police, right?"

"I don't know. I checked the official WeChat account and didn't see any official information. I don't know what's going on with them. Anyway, Enjoying Food with Daxin has been off for two weeks."

"Enjoy delicious food with Daxin?" Tang Zijun raised his eyebrows.

"That's the anchor's online name."

Tang Cao picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and put it in his mouth with his hands.

"Hot, hot, hot, hiss! I checked that guy's account. He's a weekly blogger."

"Even for a blogger who updates weekly, it's normal to stop updating occasionally. What I'm more curious about is who spread the news of his disappearance." Tang Zijun said casually.

"I'm also curious," Su Siyao nodded and said quickly. "If it was his family who discovered it, then the best way to handle it would be to call the police. And if it was his friend, shouldn't they contact his family as soon as possible?"

Tang Zijun added, "A full-time blogger like him should have his own team. Even if he's a self-employed blogger, he's not short of friends in this field. Store exploration hosts have a large following of locals, so they wouldn't suddenly disappear for no reason."

"So I think the most likely outcome is still hype," Tang Cao speculated. "It's not like we haven't seen those ghost hunting bloggers' videos before. Creating gimmicks is their specialty."

"But Daxin is a store blogger, not a spirit blogger. Promoting a few stores is enough for him to accumulate fans. There is no need to suddenly change the track, right? So I think..."

Su Siyao pushed her glasses, and the lenses reflected a white light under the light.

"The scheming frog keeps touching your belly—!"

"He must have become increasingly famous, which is why the people around him are jealous and putting him under house arrest. This is a case of a locked-room kidnapping!"

Su Siyao kept pushing up her glasses, looking as if she had seen through the truth.

Tang Zijun and Tang Cao: "."

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. Only Xiaobai in the bedroom yawned, turned over and continued to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Zijun was amused by Su Siyao's expression. "You've watched too much anime, especially the locked room kidnapping incident."

He picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Su Siyao's bowl.

"That's right, the joke about the scheming frog is a bit old. Young people nowadays don't understand it." Tang Cao said vaguely while chewing meat.

But Su Siyao pouted. She first said thank you to Tang Zijun, and then said seriously.

"I'm not a middle school kid. After hearing the rumors of his disappearance, I looked through all the videos of him enjoying delicious food with Daxin, and I found that he had saved drafts of all his videos.

In other words, he visited the store in advance, and then edited and released it at a fixed time. In this case, the time of his disappearance cannot be arbitrarily set at two weeks. I think it should be longer. "

"But this still doesn't explain why his family didn't call the police."

Tang Cao shook his head and spread his hands, the ahoge on his head jumping up and down.

"If I had been missing for this long, my brother would have gone crazy with worry." Tang Zijun didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to her, and rolled her eyes at her. "Who told me to be your guardian now?"

Tang Cao giggled and patted Su Siyao on the shoulder.

"Well, this matter has nothing to do with us anyway. Maybe they are just taking a break and will resume updating after a while."

The rumor about the missing restaurant blogger was just a minor episode for the three of them. They quickly put the matter behind them and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the delicious food in front of them.

Tang Zijun's fried noodles with soybean sauce are not particularly salty, but full of the aroma of meat and soybean sauce. The noodles, which have been rinsed with cold water, are not only chewy but also not too hot. Combined with the greasy side dishes, it is very satisfying.

It doesn’t matter if you feel dry mouth, just take a big sip of winter melon and pork ribs soup, and your stomach will immediately feel warm and comfortable.

Before long, all the plates on the table were gone. The three of them had eaten a whole bowl of noodles, and only the winter melon and pork ribs soup was left, but not a single rib was left.

Su Siyao lay on the sofa, rubbing her belly with both hands.

“I’m too full to eat any more, not at all.”

As she spoke, she looked at Tang Cao again.

"I really envy you, Tangtang. You can eat whatever you want without gaining weight."

"I'm still growing." Tang Cao chuckled. "Besides, you're not fat. Your figure is already pretty good."

"That's because I'm still young. My mom said that if I continue to eat this much when I grow up, I'm going to gain weight."

Su Siyao sighed.

"Oh~ I guess I'll never be able to quit carbs in my lifetime."

When Tang Zijun saw the two girls talking about weight, he didn't interrupt them. He just smiled and said nothing. He turned around and took the empty bowls and plates to the kitchen.

After slowly rinsing the bowl and putting it into the dishwasher, Tang Zijun began to clean the kitchen. It was easy for him to make the kitchen messy when cooking, and cleaning it after every meal had become a habit for him.

After a while, Tang Cao's head popped over.

"Brother, Yaoyao and I are going out for a walk."

"Where are you going?" Tang Zijun asked casually.

"I want to go to Wuyue Plaza to grab dolls and check out the new blind boxes. It's a good time to digest my food after eating."

Tang Cao's voice was heard, followed by the sound of her changing shoes.

Tang Zijun hasn't bought many blind boxes. He doesn't have much interest in this largest gambling product in the country. Compared to unknown surprises, Tang Zijun prefers to directly buy the one he wants.

But for some reason, Tang Cao has a deep obsession with blind boxes. She even has a cabinet in her bedroom specifically for these little toys. However, since she likes them, Tang Zijun doesn't care too much.

"Is there enough money?"

"That's enough." Tang Cao responded.

Tang Zijun gave instructions without even turning his head.

"Don't play too late, come back early."
