Mi Home Chat Group: Let's start with a roundup and have some fun!

Kiana: I want to ask this person, is he broke, or does he think the police station is his home? (-_-)ゞ

[Alice: I took a look, and that person is actually Yuzuha, so it's not surprising ╮( oωo )╭]

[Aha: Hahaha, what an immature and funny person! This is hilarious! (*σ'?`)σ]

Back at the video store, Ling immediately took the newly purchased small case to Tetsuya and happily said:

"Brother! I bought something great, a decorative item that's said to bring good fortune. (=^▽^=)"

Zhe was curious about what kind of ornaments his younger sister had bought, so he took the small box from her hand. After seeing what was inside, three question marks slowly rose above Zhe's head:

"A decorative piece? Let me see, but this one is broken! (o'ω'o)???"

[Nicole: A lucky charm for bringing wealth? A beckoning cat or a giant pixiu! (???)]

[Qiong: Big Pixiu, Big Pixiu, Big Pixiu, Big Pixiu, drinking baijiu, drinking beer, drinking red wine, drinking foreign liquor! (?????)]

[Furina: Huh~, why is the lucky charm that Ling bought broken? Is it that fragile?]

[Fu Hua: What a coincidence! I've definitely been scammed by the seller ╮( oωo )╭]

Upon hearing Zhe's words, Ling looked into the box and indeed it was broken. She frowned angrily.

"It's bad? Damn it! That brat lied to me! (╬◣д◢)"

Zhe calmly looked at Ling and asked her if she remembered what the seller looked like:

"Who exactly lied to you?"

Rin recalled the most obvious features of Yuzuha and Masato, and grew angrier the more she thought about it:

"A girl who looks like a raccoon dog, named Yuzu; and a man with a double-door refrigerator named Tou. (「▼皿▼)"

[Ten Cold Old Man: Tsk tsk tsk, the young girl really doesn't know what she's missing. What a fine lucky charm! If used properly, it'll bring in money faster than lying on the street.]

These past few days, all I've encountered on the road are either Transformers or cars with dashcams. I haven't earned a single penny, and I almost got run over by a bicycle! (╥﹏╥)

[Captain: You've run into a Transformer while trying to scam someone, sir. Your luck is amazing, you could go buy a lottery ticket (*σ'?`)σ]

[Paimon: Now that Rin says it, Masato does really look a bit like a double-door refrigerator. (⊙ω⊙)]

[Mato: No, I'm in great shape, I don't look like a double-door refrigerator at all! (；?_?)]

Knowing what the scammer looked like made things much easier. Zhe immediately called Officer Zhu Yuan and told her everything.

Because Officer Zhu Yuan was very efficient, she arrived at the video store shortly after the call ended, bringing two people who met the requirements.

"Hello, based on your description, we have located the suspect. (?o?)"

Rin noticed that Arataki Ichito and Hayato were looking at her with blank expressions, and she immediately became so embarrassed that she broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly explained to Zhu Yuan:

"I don't think it's them, hehe. (=ω=；)"

Kiana: Officer Zhu Yuan, why did you arrest Arataki Ichito and Kobayashi Yuzu? Is this right? This doesn't make sense, does it? ('⊙ω⊙`)

[Sora: The girl who looks like a tanuki and the man whose name contains the character for "toss"—they do match Rin's description perfectly, no problem. (；￢_￢)]

[Zaoyou: You've got the wrong person! Zaoyou is a raccoon dog! Not a tanuki! (。ì _ í。)]

After realizing she had arrested the wrong people, Zhu Yuan immediately released them and then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ling:

"These are the most recently wanted fugitives. See if they're here. (?o?)"

Ling took the wanted poster and read it carefully, then her attention was drawn to the strange names of the fugitives:

"Let me see? The Outer Ring Road Fuel Drink Thief?"

Zhu Yuan stroked her chin, recalling their crimes, and explained:

"That was a group of people who were speeding while drunk. (?_?)"

[Star: On the outer ring road, or is it the oil-fueled beverage thief? No need to guess, I know this person must be Bernice (； ?_?)]

Kiana: But didn't Officer Zhu Yuan say this was a large group?

[Ying: That's easy. Maybe it was one of Calydon's sons who got drunk and Caesar dragged him along for a race. ╮(‵▽′)╭]

[Ling: Yingjie is right. Given Caesar's personality, she really is capable of doing something like that. (=ω=；)]

Bell: "A love story between a fat bear and a wolfhound?"

Zhu Yuan: "It's a male gang that solicits prostitutes on the street."

Bell: "White floating emergency rations and blonde thieves?"

Zhu Yuan: "It seems to be a bounty notice sent from Liyue next door."

Bell: "What kind of neighbor is this anyway?! (╬O皿O)"

[March 7th: White floating emergency rations and a blond thief? Isn't that just Paimon and the Traveler? (-_-)ゞ]

[Ying: I never expected to be this famous! Even Neo Ellito has a wanted poster for me! (,,?ω?,,)]

[Pam: What's so great about being wanted, Pam! (；￢_￢)]

[Billy: Sir, are you sure the place next door is Liyue? Which subway line goes there from New Ellidou?]

[Captain: Since a dimensional wall is still a wall, it makes perfect sense that Liyue is next to New Elliott (?????)]

Ling led Zhu Yuan on a leisurely stroll through the streets, searching for clues about the two swindlers. She inadvertently caught sight of You Ye, and a surge of anger welled up within her. She charged straight at her.

"Gotcha! You sold me counterfeit goods and even lied to me, saying it would make me rich!!! (╬▼皿▼)"

Youye shrugged, indicating that she hadn't broken any laws and was telling the truth:

"Wait a minute, this is normal business practice, and I haven't made any false claims. ╮(‵▽′)╭"

Alice: Is there really nothing wrong with Yuzu Leaf doing business this way?

Kiana: She sold broken porcelain as lucky charms, which seems to be illegal, doesn't it? ('⊙ω⊙`)

[Yanfei: No, because only Ling bought Yuye's porcelain, and the amount was too small to meet the standard for illegality, so it can only be considered a prank at most.]

However, according to the Galactic Justice Law... oops, the Liyue Business Law, Yuzuki's claim that selling Shining Ceramic could make you rich already constitutes false advertising.

[March 7th: I have a feeling that Yuzu Leaf has more than one crime to her name, there must be others (°ー°〃)]

When Ling thought about how much money she had spent, only to receive a pile of useless porcelain shards, and felt that Youye was still trying to fool her, her anger flared even more.

"How could that broken bottle possibly bring good fortune?! (｀Δ')ゞ"

Yuzu handed the instruction manual for the porcelain shards to Rin, letting her read it herself:

"I'm not lying to you, this porcelain really can bring good fortune. Here, the instruction manual is right here. (*^ω^*)"

[March 7th: Why are there instructions for a bunch of Hui porcelain shards? Are they for playing with as a puzzle? (o'ω'o)]

[Captain: You see all sorts of weird things these days, it's just an instruction manual, it's perfectly normal ╮(￣⊿￣)╭]

Chapter 278 Bell: I swear on my brother's chastity, I will never lie to you again! (Second Update)

Ling took the instruction manual for Huici from Youye's hand, and the more she read it, the more something seemed off. She angrily complained:

"Hmm? Let me see. As long as you glue the porcelain together, and then pretend to be pushed over when you encounter a passerby, you can get an unexpected fortune. Isn't that just a staged accident scam? (╬◣д◢)"

Zhu Yuan took out a pen and paper she carried with her to write down You Ye's crimes, and then immediately handcuffed her.

"Instigating a crime is an even more serious offense."

Before Ling and Zhe could figure out what was going on, Youye was pulled into a police car and taken away by Officer Zhu Yuan, looking completely bewildered.

[March 7th: Yuye, isn't this instruction manual a bit too harsh? It might lead to a government job (⊙o⊙)]

[Yuzu Leaf: Forget about the criminal charges for now, let's just talk about how fast the money comes in. I'll just say I didn't make any false advertising, so I'm innocent. ＼(^▽^＠)ノ]

[Yanfei: This time it's definitely not false advertising, it's upgraded to instigating crime, so take them away directly (；￢_￢)]

Theresa: What a mess! This is the first time I've ever seen someone so eager to give the police evidence to arrest them. ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

Since the pomelo leaf had not yet caused any real harm, Officer Zhu Yuan gave her a verbal warning and then sent her back.

Seeing that Yuzuha had been reprimanded, Rin's anger had subsided considerably. She planned to probe her one last time, take the opportunity to trick her, and then the matter would be over.

"Speaking of which, your 'Strange Food House' business is doing quite well. Now, if you reveal the business secrets of the 'Strange Food House,' I can pretend this never happened. (???)"

Yuzuha thought Rin's conditions were very simple, so she smiled and agreed:

"That's a great proposal! (∩?∩)"

Because Youye had a prior record of instigating crimes, Zhu Yuan was diligently taking notes with paper and pen during their conversation, much like a historian serving the emperor.

[Gui Naifen: Sigh! Does the "Strange Food House" actually run a business? I thought it was just a platform for like-minded people to exchange ideas.]

[Floating Waves and Yuzu Leaf: You're not wrong. The Strange Food House handles paranormal cases and unsolved mysteries; the business is Dad's shop. ╮( oωo )╭]

[Ah Quan: No wonder you agreed so quickly, so there were no trade secrets at all (；?_? )]

【Floating Wave Yuzu Leaf: Hehe~ (?o? o?)?】

[Tinari: Officer Zhu Yuan, you've worked hard, not only in charge of the arrests but also in supervision.]

Yuzu explained to Rin what trade secrets were, based on her own understanding:

"Trade secrets, of course, add value to products. ╮(‵▽′)╭"

Bell: "For example? (?o?)"

Yu Ye took out a purple book titled "How to Maintain Hui Porcelain":

"For example, this book would sell better if it had a different name. (=^▽^=)"

Rin: "Hmm? What name should I change it to? (?_?)?"

Yuye put away the original book, took out another modified sample, and began to introduce it:

"Change it to 'The Self-Cultivation of a Porcelain Demon' (?????)"

[Captain: The color scheme of the two books, one purple and one red, feels a bit like the "Book of Purple" and "Book of Crimson" from Pokémon.]

[Hoshino: Pfft~, after Yuzuha changed her name, it sounds like she's introducing herself, admitting she's a little devil. (,,?ω?,,)]

[Qiong: Hehehe, Yuzuha, are you sure you didn't take the wrong one? Did you take out your own secret manual? (?????)]

[Rin: Yuzuha, you're such a naming genius! You don't have any other names!]

[Yuye: Some brothers, yes, there are many more titles like this; change "Water Margin" to "The Story of 3 Women and 105 Men"; change "If I Had Three Days of Light" to "Deadly 72 Hours," wouldn't that be much more exciting? ╭?(*^ω^*)╭?]
