After the game, Xinhai walked off the final stage and came to Ying and several others.

“Guys, I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

Ying smiled and said: “Congratulations on winning.”

Paimon couldn’t help but said: “Xinhai! I was really worried about you just now!”

“The Son of God is too cunning. He pretends to be at his wits’ end and lets Xinhai deal with one of his cards.”

“In the end, she actually used two cards in a row that could only be played based on this condition! It almost turned the tables!”

Just when Paimon was complaining, he didn’t notice that a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

“Oh, it’s so lively here. What interesting things are they saying behind my back?”

“Uh-huh!” Paimon was immediately frightened, “I-I’m not, I didn’t say anything! I said it’s a pity that you lost, Son of God!”

Paimon’s change of attitude instantly made everyone laugh.

“Shenzi: Go on, I’m watching.”

“I said: Palace Secretary Takami (doge)”

“Being arrogant at first and then being respectful later makes you laugh when you think about it.”

Shenzi said casually: “Hahaha, what’s so pity about this? It’s just a small competition.”

“We may not know who will win next time. How about it? Ms. “Deep Sea Tongue Flounder”. Do you want to play again?”

Xinhai said calmly: “If Miss Linglong Youdoufu is interested, I am willing to accompany you.”

“It’s just that there’s a puzzle here that’s still waiting for me to answer.”

“Really?” Shenzi chuckled and said, “Then I won’t disturb you.”

“I just went to play with Wulang. I haven’t seen those fluffy ears for a long time.”

Upon hearing this, Wulang, who had been hiding far away, immediately took a few steps back in fright.

“Danger! Wulang, danger!”

“Goro: Don’t come over!”

“For the sake of the friendship between Kaijijima and Narukamijima, Goro, you will not resist, right?”

“Lord Son of God, come and play with me!”

After Shenzi walked away, Xinhai continued the previous topic.

“Miss Kirarayoshi, you have been delivering goods between countries these days, right?”

“Yes.” Kirarayang nodded, “There have been quite a lot of goods recently, but what does this have to do with the ‘clue’ of the ‘Phantom Thief’?”

Charlotte added: “The strange thing is that Miss Kirarayoshi’s footprints coincide with the ‘Phantom Thief’ we have been pursuing.”

Xinhai nodded, “Yes, that’s the key point.”

Hearing this, Paimon seemed to notice something, “Could it be that… Kiraragi is the ‘Phantom Thief’?”

“Huh? This, you can’t talk nonsense!” Qi Liangliang quickly defended: “I’m just an ordinary courier. You can’t wrongly accuse good people, no… you can’t wrongly accuse good monsters!”

Before they could continue to say anything, Xinhai interrupted: “Don’t worry, you two, that’s not what I meant.”

“Ms. Qiliangliang, among the express delivery received in the past few days, are there multiple goods from the same sender or sent to the same place?”

“Let me think about it…” Qi Liangliang tried to remember, “The senders are different, but there is indeed an express delivery address in each region with the same delivery address.”

Paimon quickly asked: “Really? Where is the delivery address?”

“This…” Qi Liangliang hesitated, “I can’t say the specifics. I can only tell you that it was in Xumi.”

Water friends began to speculate again.

“Seno: That’s right!”

“How could Judge Seno steal things?”

“Confidentiality agreement, right?”

Seeing that Qi Liangliang couldn’t reveal any information, Xinhai asked again: “Are these goods very light, at most only the size of an envelope?”

“Huh?” Qi Liangliang’s face was full of surprise, “You…are you the kind of big monster who can have prophetic dreams? I heard about it before when I was sleeping on my grandma’s lap…”

“Haha…” Xinhai smiled and waved his hand, “I’m just a goddess miko from Kaiji Island. I usually like to read novels and military books.”

Then, Xinhai looked at Ying again, “How is it? After listening to this, do you think of the same answer as me?”

Ying began to sort out the current information.

First, there is an express delivery from each region to Xumi.

The goods are very light, no more than the size of an envelope.

Ying raised her eyebrows, “These goods should be the cards of “Seven Saints Summoning”.”

As for the clue that Qi Liangliang had been meeting them by chance, she also frowned a little.

“The ‘Phantom Thief’ is probably using the ‘Komaga House’ to deliver goods, and the goods in Kirarayoshi’s hands are the ‘Treasure Chest Card Backs’!”

Ying expressed his guess.

Xinhai nodded, “Yeah, a perfect answer.”

“Huh?” Paimon looked surprised, “It turns out that after chasing for a long time, the backs of the cards collected by “Phantom Thief” were always in front of our eyes.

Under the skin! ”

Charlotte interjected: “But there is still some doubt in it.”

“Miss Kirarayoshi took away the goods first in Mondstadt, and then we encountered the ‘phantom thief’. The timing didn’t match up.”

Xinhai said: “About this, my idea is – there is more than one ‘Phantom Thief’.”

Ying raised an eyebrow, “‘The Phantom Thieves of Cards’?”

“Yes.” Xinhai nodded and said, “The person you are chasing should be a member of the ‘Phantom Thieves’.”

“Others may have collected the card backs first and sent them out together.”

Charlotte nodded, “If you think about it this way… collecting so many card backs from so many countries is indeed not a job that one person can complete.”

After listening to Xinhai’s analysis, many water friends were very happy.

“Yes, this is my military advisor’s heart! I finally showed it off!”

“Xinhai’s wife is the best!”

“The Phantom Thieves of the Heart, right?”

At this time, Paimon discovered another suspicious point, “But why doesn’t the person we are chasing use the services of ‘Komagaya’?”

Xinhai explained: “I was slow and missed the delivery time agreed by the organization… I think this is probably the reason.”

“After all, from your description, he only committed one act of ‘stealing’, and it was seen by others. After that, he always used ‘trading’ and ‘betting’ to obtain card backs.”

“I guess this person is actually not good at stealing. The commission fee that was supposed to be paid to “Komaga House” was also used by him as transaction funds.”

Charlotte interjected: “Then this creates a new problem. Why don’t the others take the cards with them and go back to Xumi?”

“Unless…they have a reason to stay there…”

“Yeah.” Xinhai nodded and said, “This is also a question I still don’t understand.”

“What is the purpose of ‘The Phantom Thieves’? What kind of secret is hidden behind this deck?”

“I’m afraid… you will only know if you see the back of the deck of cards with your own eyes…”

After hearing Xinhai’s words, everyone looked towards Qi Liangliang.

“You…what are you doing?” Qi Liangliang panicked instantly, “Don’t look at me like that. I will never open a customer’s package!”
