Starry Sky Railway: Start with some fireworks and have some fun

"Mom, I'm not a little kid anymore!"

"But in my eyes, even if you get married, have children, and become a mother, you are still my child!"

Qingque blushed when her mother said that. "I'm not even fifty yet! I don't want to enter the grave of love so early!"

"Hey, you girl!"

Hanabi deliberately made a gesture as if she was about to hit her, but Aozora stuck out her tongue and immediately ran into the bathroom, "Mom, I'm going to take a shower!"

After saying that, Qingque ran into the bathroom without looking back, while Hanabi said helplessly.

"Little Bluebird is off tomorrow. It looks like she'll be playing the role of a loving couple at home all day again."

"Aren't you enjoying this? If I didn't know the truth, I would almost think of you as the little sparrow's mother now, and you'd even do it better than the real sparrow herself."

"Look at me, I'm so young and I already have such a big daughter. Although I've played many roles before, this is my first time trying the role of a mother! Besides, this child is so interesting, I haven't had enough fun with her yet!"

"Let's tone it down a bit, or if she finds out, we'll all be taken down."

"Okay, okay, I'll behave myself!"

Immediately afterward, Hanabi took out the bathroom key and started unlocking it. Qinglan's lips twitched. "What are you going to do?"

However, Hanabi did not respond to Aoran's question. Instead, she opened the bathroom door and quickly locked it.

"Ahhh! Mom, what are you doing in here?"

"Little Bluebird, let's take a bath together!"

Sure enough, it's much cheaper than mine, that's fantastic!

"Mom, Mom, go out, I'm all grown up now."

"Like I said, in my eyes, you'll always be a little kid who never grows up!"

"Ahhh! Mommy!"

Hearing the sounds of running water and the two of them playing together in the bathroom, Qinglan couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that Qingque has completely become Hanabi's plaything. Fortunately, Hanabi's behavior is still within the normal range of a mother and daughter, and Qingque will most likely not find out.

Three more months? Looks like I need to get back into the swing of things and enjoy some of that long-lost slow-paced life!

.........

The next day, the chief diviner.

Fu Xuan activated the Qiong Guan Grand Array once again, beginning to divine the whereabouts of the two Masked Fools. However, the array divined for a long time but still had no effect.

"Damn it, could it be that they're no longer on the Immortal Ship? Does that mean all the effort we've put in these past few days has been for nothing? No, I can't be impatient right now. I need to stay calm and try to recall any details I might have missed."

Immediately afterwards, Fu Xuan began to reorganize everything from the first appearance of the Masked Fool to the period of the riot. According to the former Sword Master Jingliu, they can now control the Abundant Jianmu through a special means.

Furthermore, they managed to injure the swordsman, so these two entertainers must be very strong. But apart from that, there's really no other information.

Then Fu Xuan recalled once again what was different about the masked Fool who played the Blue Sparrow compared to usual... Suddenly, a clever bird that delivered messages flew to the Taibu Temple.

Fu Xuan's eyes widened slightly in surprise upon seeing this scene.

"Qingque, is that pet on your head... yours?"

"Lord Fu Xuan, these are the sparrows I keep. Look, the blue sparrow is keeping the sparrows, how well-matched they are!"

"Pets are not allowed in Taipusi during working hours. This is a one-time exception."

"okay!"

.........

Fu Xuan suddenly stood up. She had overlooked this matter. If those two masked fools could do more than just turn into people, then all the searching efforts these past few days would have been for nothing.

Damn it, if they had become stray cats or dogs, they would probably still be lying comfortably somewhere, hiding away and not coming out!

However, at that moment, March 7th and Xing burst in.

"My Lord, we've figured out a way to find their residence!"

Chapter 35 Sambo?

The sudden appearance of March 7th and Xing made Fu Xuan raise an eyebrow. "What plan have you come up with?"

"Well, Lord Taibu, we went to the Taibu Bureau today and used the items that Miss Tingyun hadn't had replaced to find her fan. It turns out that Diting's sense of smell is really amazing; it actually found it, even though quite a while has passed."

Fu Xuan said helplessly, "As I said, we lack the Masked Fool's personal items, so we can't use the Listening Device. Otherwise, we would have used it long ago."

“Although we don’t have their personal belongings, we have Qingque! Lord Taibu, we don’t believe they will simply throw Qingque into some back alley on the day Qingque is replaced.”

Seeing the excited looks on their faces, Fu Xuan immediately realized what was happening, and his expression instantly became excited.

“That’s right! It’s true, I actually overlooked that point. We can’t find the Masked Fool, but we can look for the Bluebird! As long as we eliminate places the Bluebird frequents, such as the card room, the tarot card shop, and the Bluebird’s house, then the last place the Bluebird left behind might be the Masked Fool’s residence.”

At this point, Fu Xuan immediately stood up, ready to lead San Yueqi and Xing to make a big splash.

"Lord Taibu, shouldn't we call Qingque along?"

"No need, that child has been exhausted these past few days. Today is a rare day off, so let her rest! There are some of her personal belongings in the Taibu Si, so let Di Ting use those to track her down! Do you two have anything else to do? If you are very busy, then I will investigate by myself."

"No rush. We just got back from the Tianbo Bureau. Now that we have the opportunity to catch this vicious criminal, how can we just stand by and do nothing?"

"That's right, I want to show the Masked Fool that I, Galaxy Gunslinger, am not someone to be trifled with."

"Why are you still using such a cringey nickname?!"

.........

After having this idea, the three of them immediately set off on their journey with a little Di Ting. The little Di Ting, however, did not listen and soon headed towards the card shop. Fu Xuan immediately grabbed its head.

"There's no need to look here anymore. Where else has she stayed besides here?"

Di Ting tilted its head, then put its nose on the ground and sniffed hard. Then it walked in one direction. After the three of them had walked for a while, Fu Xuan immediately realized where they were and grabbed its head again.

"This is the direction of Qingque's house, but it's not this way either. Besides the card shop, her house, and the Taibu Temple, where else has she stayed?"

"Awooo... Waaaaah..."

Di Ting was grabbed on the head twice by the little divination master who said it had come to the wrong place. Di Ting makes its living by doing this, how could it have come to the wrong place! Of course, it runs to the place with the strongest smell.

"My Lord, it looks so disappointed. You've hurt its pride."

Seeing Little Di Ting with its head drooping, March 7th felt indignant on its behalf and immediately hugged it, rubbing its little head.

"Don't be sad, you're the best. But we really need Miss Qingque's scent traces, can you look again?...Woof woof woof...Awooo awooo awooo woof woof."

Watching March 7th and Di Ting chat like close friends, and even making the same sounds as Di Ting, Fu Xuan looked at Xing speechlessly.

"Are all the members of your train crew... this humorous?"

"Wang Wang!"

"How come you've started learning this too!"

However, after being comforted by the cute girl, Di Ting regained its energy and continued its thorough search with its nose closed.

Immediately afterward, it raised its head and ran off in another direction. Seeing that things were looking promising, the three of them followed closely behind Di Ting, afraid of losing it.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Di Ting arrived at a small inn in Huixing Port. It kept barking in the inn, looking at the three people with anticipation, hoping to receive praise.

March 7th exclaimed in astonishment, "My goodness, you're amazing! You really found it! I'll add a chicken leg to dinner tonight!"

"Little March, I want a chicken leg too!"

"How dare you steal food from Di Ting!"

Fu Xuan was filled with excitement, and his arms were trembling slightly with excitement. He never expected that this method would actually lead him to the hiding place of the two masked fools.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Xuan went inside, while San Yueqi followed with the hero of this search operation in his arms, and Xing followed closely behind.

Because of Fu Xuan Taibu's identity, when she arrived at the small inn and revealed her identity, the innkeeper immediately greeted her with a smile.

"My lord, may I ask what brings you to our shop?"

"Boss, could you please provide a list of guests for the past month?"

"Nearly a month? Lord Grand Diviner, didn't the Cloud Cavalry already investigate?"

"They checked? Didn't they find anything suspicious?"

"No!"

Seeing the store manager's puzzled expression, Fu Xuan pondered for a moment, "Do you have security cameras in your store?"

"It's only available in the lobby."

"Okay, could you please pull up the surveillance footage for me? I need to check it."

The store manager had no choice but to pull up all the surveillance footage, and Fu Xuan immediately retrieved the video information to the day Qing Que disappeared.

However, just when it seemed the truth was about to be revealed, the surveillance suddenly malfunctioned, and everything went black. After about thirty seconds, the surveillance video resumed normal operation.

Fu Xuan's pupils constricted slightly. He immediately switched the video to the time when Qing Que returned home that evening. Then, the surveillance video malfunctioned again for about thirty seconds, turning the screen completely black and nothing could be seen.

"Sure enough, they really do live here! Since Qingque was here, there's only one possibility: that thirty seconds of black screen was orchestrated by him, the cunning Masked Fool. Manager, it's this day. Get all the guest information from this day; I want to check them one by one!"

"Your Excellency, is it not a bit... to leak other people's information...?"
