Apart from the fragments that just flashed by, he couldn't recall any memories of his past.

Xia Yuan rubbed his temples, trying to wake up from this state. He couldn't help but glance at the girl sitting opposite him.

Dressed in British gentleman's attire and with her long hair tied into a high ponytail, she looked very capable and dashing.

She was wearing a pair of single-frame glasses and was concentrating on reading the newspaper in her hand. From the flashing memories, we could tell that...

The girl with a high ponytail sitting in front of him was his partner: Hua.

Out of politeness...Xia Yuan did not disturb his assistant, a very serious girl.

He glanced at the things on his desk: a letter filled with the scent of rosemary, two tickets that he had not yet checked, and a document representing his personal identity.

【Sherlock Yuan】

His personal portrait on the certificate caught Xia Yuan's attention.

Hidden beneath the white bangs are a pair of blue eyes that can see into the soul and look directly into the heart. No one can escape the surveillance of those eyes. They seem to have the ability to see the essence and truth of things.

"Did you have white hair before?"

Xia Yuan was a little confused and pulled out a strand of his white hair.

His hair is very smooth, and it doesn't look like the gray hair is caused by overwork, but it looks like he has had it since the beginning. It seems that although he is immersed in cases all day long... he pays great attention to his image and even takes some time to take care of it.

A good self-image has affinity from the first impression, which is conducive to conducting various investigations.

Self-cultivation as a detective.

Next, placed on one side of the table was the personal identity of one's partner.

【Fu Hua】

This is the full name of my assistant.

Of course, he prefers to call him [Hua], or [John Hua]. Hua is from Shenzhou... It is said that Hua came here from Shenzhou in order to investigate the cause of his father's death.

Although he had the good fortune to meet Hua in an old case, even he didn't know what Hua had experienced before becoming his partner...

The opponent's Shenzhou Kung Fu, that inch-force power that could open the sky, is something Xia Yuan will never forget.

Or maybe it is beyond reach...

In a long detective career, accidents are inevitable.

So at Xia Yuan's sincere invitation, Fu Hua became his assistant in the detective agency.

In return, Xia Yuan will help his partner Hua to investigate the truth about the death of his father, and the end point of this cross-border journey happens to be Shenzhou.

Hua always believed that her father's death was not an accident as claimed.

Just then...

Fu Hua seemed to sense that someone was watching her. She slowly put down the newspaper in her hand, looked up and said to Xia Yuan in front of her: "Yuan, you're awake. Are you feeling better from motion sickness now?"

"Hua, I just glanced at you. How did you know I was looking at you?"

Xia Yuan asked with great interest.

"Yuan, I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, and I am extremely sensitive to other people's gazes."

Fu Hua took off her single-frame mirror and answered in an orderly manner.

"No wonder... No wonder you were always able to sense danger in advance in previous cases. I'm really envious. But I'm afraid I can't learn your skills, Hua."

"Compared to this, I admire your reasoning ability more, Yuan, the famous detective in the newspaper..."

The two praised each other.

Fu Hua presented Xia Yuan with what she had just read in the newspaper.

[Collective brainwashing incident involving thousands of people in a pyramid scheme], [Mysterious arson case in a village], [Malicious human transformation experiment incident], etc.... The headlines in the newspapers are all reporting the general content of the cases.

These are just a small part of the cases that Xia Yuan has handled.

100% crime clearance rate.

As long as he is there, any case you encounter can be easily solved.

He is known as the savior of the Destiny Police Department... He is a leading figure who single-handedly pioneered the detective world. However... once Xia Yuan gets involved, no matter how small the case is, it will always become a bizarre homicide case.

This is also the reason why Theresa, a senior executive of the Tianming Police Station, would never ask Xia Yuan for help unless she had no other choice. She would rather let him stay in the police station and do nothing, collecting a salary for nothing.

However, due to Xia Yuan's 100% crime-solving rate, the Tianming police seem to be labeled incompetent by the public.

"Okay, okay, Hua... let's not keep praising each other like this.

"Actually, I was forced to do this. I would rather play chess with Theresa in the office, but the level of investigation at the Tianming Police Department is really... hard to describe."

Xia Yuan didn't say the last sentence.

After all, he and Theresa are old acquaintances, and he doesn't need to worry about the internal affairs of the Tianming Police Station. Even if the sky falls, Theresa's grandfather will support it.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, Hua...how is the matter I asked you to secretly investigate the passengers on the train going?"

Fu Hua took out a small notebook and flipped through it.

The notes were filled with densely packed text, all obviously related to various cases. Hua's habit of taking notes was subtly influenced by Xia Yuan.

Chapter 220: Grayshu, the Little Painter

"Yuan, I followed your instructions and secretly investigated the passengers on the train."

Hua paused for a moment and turned to the next page of his notes.

"As you expected, this train is not Tianming's property. The passengers are a mixed bunch. Moreover, the biggest suspect in the jewelry theft case, Padre Felice, is on this train. For this reason, I have not alerted her for the time being."

“Well…Hua, you did a great job.

"But first, call Theresa, the senior officer in the police station, and ask her to help verify a few things."

1. Padua Felice had clearly been restricted from leaving the country by destiny, so how did she get on this cross-border train without our knowledge? Even Theresa didn't receive any news.

Second, did she bribe someone, or was there an accomplice?

3. If so, where did the bribe money come from? Did they exchange some of the jewelry for money through the black market? Find out the connection between the two, and then follow the clues to find out the real reason.

Fu Hua carefully recorded what Xia Yuan said in her notes.

"Yuan, you mean... there is a traitor in the Tianming Police Station?!"

“We cannot rule out this possibility.”

"Then I'll contact Theresa now." Suddenly, Fu Hua seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, Yuan... I just met a doctor on the train. His name is Su. Would you like to ask him to take a look? Maybe he can help relieve your frequent headaches?"

"There's no rush for now. This is an old problem that can't be cured in a short time."

Xia Yuan shook his head.

His attention was now fixed on the contents of the envelope.

[Dear Detective, you seem to be still troubled by the case of stolen jewelry? ]

[Here are two train tickets to Shenzhou. Why don't you take your assistant on a romantic trip? Maybe you can find the truth you want to know during this trip.]

[A person who can only rely on you secretly and admires you~~~]

Xia Yuan silently folded the envelope neatly and put it into the inner pocket of his windbreaker for safekeeping. He put away his things at the table, picked up the gentleman's hat beside his seat, and tidied his clothes.

He lifted the long sleeves of his windbreaker, revealing the exquisitely crafted gear watch on his wrist.

This was a gift from a girl he had saved in a previous case as a thank you. Her name was Wei Wei, and she was well-known in the gear processing circle.

Every minute and every second of the gear watch is strictly calibrated, and you can see the other party's intentions.

【12:10:02】

It was almost noon. At this point, Xia Yuan remembered that this cross-border train was equipped with a special chef and provided three free meals every day.

Now that Padova is on this train, the greedy kitten will definitely not miss the free lunch.

"Hua, let's go and meet our old acquaintance Paduafilis."

Xia Yuan put on a gentleman's hat and led Fu Hua to another carriage.

Just after Xia Yuan and Fu Hua left, a cup of still warm coffee was placed in the last row away from Xia Yuan and their seats, and a pair of slender hands picked it up.

"You are here after all... Detective."

Miss Irene savored the coffee on the table carefully, with an unnoticed curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.

The journey finally kicked off and gradually became lively and interesting, but what was surprising was that Fu Hua, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, did not sense the existence of the person named [Irene Agler Rita] in the last row.

【A mysterious woman...】

She followed the two men.

The combination of Xia Yuan and Fu Hua who came to another carriage naturally attracted the attention of other passengers in the carriage.

Xia Yuan walked behind Fu Hua, deliberately pulling down the gentleman's hat on his head to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and trouble. His deep eyes were quickly looking at everyone in the carriage.

Just like Hua said, there are all kinds of people in the car.

There is a blue-haired girl who is concentrating on graffiti. Judging from her unfinished paintings, the girl has a promising future.

If I keep creating...

In the future he will surely become an outstanding painter who will achieve considerable success in the field of painting.

However, the girl's doodle on the drawing board was a blue and black monster with claws. It looked like a giant lobster floating on the drawing board. But its lifelike image really caused a ripple in Xia Yuan's heart. Are children's imaginations so wild nowadays?

"We...all...are on the humming train. On the train are me, Mother Aponya, and it, the blue one, and the black one."

In a trance, Xia Yuan suddenly saw the monster on the girl's drawing board move.

But in an instant, that feeling disappeared again.

"Hmm? Was that just my illusion?"

A blonde nun sitting next to the blue-haired girl noticed Xia Yuan's gaze.

"Ah, I'm sorry...Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. Gretchen always likes to draw some weird pictures."

The blonde nun turned the painting in Grace's hand over and placed it on the table.

There was a cross hanging around her neck. She looked at the blue-haired girl beside her with a doting look, touched her head gently, and then looked at Xia Yuan with an apologetic expression.

"It's okay. It's a good thing for children to have wild imaginations."

While Xia Yuan waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, he was also using his deep eyes to observe the details of the two people present.

Fu Hua stopped consciously.

She knew that her partner...had his detective occupational disease strike again.

Mr. Xia Yuan can analyze what the other person does, his identity, what he does, what he eats, where he is going next, etc. through details, tiny movements, or even a tiny glance.

This extraordinary ability was something she could never learn, and it was also what she admired most about him.

She had also asked her partner, but according to Yuan's own words:

"He is just an ordinary man...

"It's just that I have a little more observation ability for details than ordinary people. Details are often the easiest to be overlooked, but the most easily overlooked may be the crucial clues that connect the entire case."

"Details?"

Fu Hua then observed the two people sitting in the seats.

Judging from the title that the girl named Gray Xiu muttered while drawing just now...

Chapter 221: Mebius Likes Ketchup

The girl named Grace and the nun sitting next to her named Aponia.

The two should be in a mother-daughter relationship.

But judging from the hair color, pupils and appearance... there should be no direct blood relationship between the two. Perhaps the blue-haired girl grew up in the church, or maybe she was adopted by this nun alone.

Aponia slowly stood up and handed the two cute little statues she had just sculpted to Xia Yuan and Fu Hua respectively.

"Thank you for your understanding. I'm glad that Grayshu has not caused you any trouble. Oh... By the way, please accept these two statues. They are my token of appreciation."
