He had an appointment with Jiuzhong Mozi in the evening. If he forgot, the girl would not let him go so easily. Baisaka did not want to provoke her own military advisor. What's more, she hated people who were late the most. Shirasaka would definitely leave early.

As for the message sent to Ichinose, she would reply to him whenever she saw it. Shirasaka was not particularly anxious about this matter.

As expected, when Shirasaka got on the train to the hospital, he heard his cell phone ringing. After just one look at the name of the caller, Kagami Ichinose, Shirasaka decisively answered the call.

"Good evening Ichinose-san, I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

Knowing that Ichinose had called him, Shirasaka probably thought something unexpected had happened again and sighed, but still greeted her in a relaxed tone.

"Yes."

Well, this guy still speaks so directly, leaving no face or room for himself.

"So, what happened? Was there something wrong with the two bodies that needed to be dealt with, or did my search for gold trigger some taboo?"

Shirasaka knew that Ichinose Kagami has always been like this, and of course she would not be angry with her for such a thing, so after a pause, she continued to ask her.

"The body over there in the market is gone."

Ichinose Kagami's answer was still as concise as ever, but not only her, even Shirasaka was a little confused. It would have been fine if it happened once, but why did it happen again?

Shirasaka even suspected that there was some kind of zombie following him, waiting for him to feed it food. Otherwise, how could it be possible that he had just killed someone and asked the authorities to help collect the body, and the zombie cleaned up the mess for him right after he killed someone?

"It's the same as before, no trace of blood or anything?"

Shirasaka asked Kagami Ichinose uncertainly for confirmation. That was a market, and the officials would not be rushing there as they had done in the suburban basement before. It would probably only take a few minutes to control the scene.

If this could be justified, Shirasaka could only sigh that it was miraculous.

"Well, nothing."

Ichinose Kagami was also curious. This time, Shirasaka had taken good photos to provide him with evidence, but when he rushed over, the place had already been cleaned up. There was no sign of a murder scene at all.

Whenever the photo in her hand was not there, she would suspect that Shirasaka was just making fun of her, but she also understood clearly that Shirasaka would never joke about such things.

"Hey, this is interesting. I don't even know who did me such a big favor. Where did this good friend who does good deeds without leaving a name come from to help me deal with it?"

Shirasaka scratched his head. He had seen many people being plotted against for no apparent reason, but this was the first time he had encountered someone helping him for no apparent reason. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Does this mean that I don't need to ask you to help me deal with crime scenes anymore? Someone will clean up the mess for me anyway."

After half-jokingly joking with Kagami Ichinose, Shirasaka rubbed his brows, but still couldn't think of any relevant clues.

He normally wouldn't provoke others, but this also meant that he lacked the opportunity to interact with other people. Shirasaka racked his brains but couldn't figure out who would help him in such a place.

"I'm not sure, but... you need to be careful after all."

Just when Shirasaka thought that Kagami Ichinose would warn him or question him about who planned all these things, what he heard was her worried voice.

Even the voice of such a nobody was filled with a hint of worry, and Baisaka could only sigh that his face was indeed big enough.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on it. You should be careful too. The information I got from the two guys who were following me said that there's at least a priest-level figure from the Cult of False Words hiding in the police station in Shenbin. You have to be careful when dealing with them."

After sharing the information he had obtained, Shirasaka's recognition and trust in his companion Kagami Ichinose was basically beyond words.

It's a pity that this guy has a cold and aloof personality. If it were anyone with a personality that suits his taste, Shirasaka would feel like he'd fall in love with her.

How many girls can be as sensible and considerate as her? Shirasaka has never seen one.

"Well, bye. As for the gold mine you're looking for, I'll keep an eye out for you and give you an answer tomorrow."

After answering Shirasaka with words that were extremely reliable, Ichinose Kagami finally hung up the phone, leaving Shirasaka clutching the phone and sighing with regret for the second time.

This girl is so reliable that it makes me feel guilty for just fooling around like this.

Patting his face, Shirasaka hid his feelings for Ichinose Kagamikashi. This time he was going to meet his jealous sister. If she found out that he was thinking about another woman, he would have no peace tonight.

Soon, when Shirasaka arrived at Kunou Moko's ward and pushed open the tightly closed door, he looked at the girl inside who was dressing up carefully with her back to him, and greeted her softly.

When the girl who had painted her face as colorfully as a monkey's butt turned her face around, Shirasaka almost couldn't help but tense up her entire face.

——Facts have proved that no matter how smart one is, there may not be much improvement in makeup. If people who don’t know how to put on makeup force themselves to do so, they will only get a work as rich as a color palette.

Chapter 72: The past is the past

"I say, so there are things you can't do. I thought nothing could stump me, the invincible Miss Kujo."

Forcing herself to suppress her smile, she sat down next to Kujo Moko. Shirasaka reached out and took off the false eyelashes that were stuck on her eyes. They were almost stuck in her eyes, but she didn't think it was a problem at all?

"I'm not some omnipotent god, so of course there are things I don't know how to do."

The moment she saw Shirasaka's expression, Kunou Mozi realized that what she had done was probably in vain. She sighed and her face fell.

It's not her fault. She finally wanted to try putting on makeup by herself. Who would have thought that these little tools that others use so easily are actually so difficult to use?

"Actually, there's no need for that. People wear makeup to compensate for their imperfections, but our Miss Jiuzhong is already a beauty so perfect she doesn't need any embellishment. Makeup is just superfluous."

After helping Jiuzhong Mozi wipe off the makeup that had already become a mess on her face bit by bit, Shirasaka whispered to her to comfort her.

Of course, this was not just consolation. After all, what he said was indeed true. Jiuchong Mozi's little face did not need any makeup at all. It was so perfect that it did not look like a face that a human could have.

That is to say, she usually looks sickly, and her strong aura makes it easy for people to overlook this fact. But if we really talk about her beauty, no one who has seen her will fail to praise her for it.

This girl has had a natural talent in this area since she was a child. If she hadn't been born with a disability, her face alone would be enough reason for people to adopt her.

Even though they knew about her defects, there were still people who wanted to adopt her with bad intentions. But this guy had been able to understand people's hearts and minds since he was a child, and he saw through their little thoughts. Since she would never agree even if she died, the matter had to be left unresolved.

This is also the reason why when she finally knew that Shirasaka was going to leave the orphanage, she chose to follow him without hesitation. If she didn't have this young man protecting her, what she would have to go through in that place is something she dare not imagine now.

"Hmph, you're good at saying nice things. I'm just trying something new. What if I look better with makeup on?"

With a satisfied hum, Jiuzhong Mozi closed her eyes obediently, raised her little face and moved closer to Shirasaka, letting his hands gently wipe her little face, enjoying the warmth that only the boy in front of her could bring her.

"Yes, yes, next time I'll introduce you to an expert in this field. With your intelligence, it will be easy for you to learn from her."

Shirasaka just continued to comfort her softly as if she was coaxing a child, and at the same time thought that if Asano Chiya were to be the makeup artist for Kokonoe Moko, then maybe she could really achieve the icing on the cake effect she wanted.

"Male and female?"

The girl, who had been letting Shirasaka knead her like a docile kitten, suddenly became furious when she heard this. Her light brown eyes stared at Shirasaka's eyes, and her focus was completely different from what Shirasaka expected.

"You know I never like any man except you to touch me, so if you say that, it must be a woman. When did you become so close to a girl with this ability? As far as I know, whether it's that soft girl who fell by your side from the sky or that damn Sanno from the Ichinose family, neither of them likes makeup, right?"

Before Shirasaka could explain, Kunou Moko, like playing a detective reasoning game, locked the answer within a very small range.

Shirasaka can only say that it would be a waste if she doesn't use her talent to catch extramarital affairs. She is born to be in this job!

“Can I not answer this question?”

Shirasaka froze in place. He really didn't want to argue with Jiuzhong Mozi about this issue, so he could only sigh and choose to talk to her calmly.

"Hmph. Then don't tell me. Help me change my clothes."

Of course, Kunou Mozi didn't really want to break the warm atmosphere with Shirasaka. She was just subconsciously jealous just now. Now that Shirasaka has expressed this, she will definitely not continue to argue with him.

After randomly picking up a tissue from the side and wiping the remaining makeup off her face, Jiuzhong Mozi lay down on the bed, lying flat on the bed in a big letter shape, tilting her head and giving instructions to Shirasaka beside her.

"Shouldn't the maid be called for this kind of thing?"

Shirasaka covered her face, finding it hard to imagine that this girl lying on the bed and making a fuss was the eldest daughter of the Kunou family who controlled most of the shares.

"It's not like you haven't helped me change before, and even took my bath. Is this all you need?"

Jiuchong Mozi tilted her head, a smile hidden on her lips as she looked at the uneasy boy in front of her. Her tone was still so light, as if she didn't care at all.

"The past is the past, okay? Now you are..."

Shirasaka spread her hands. She used to be thin and small. Apart from her pretty face, she was just a shriveled pony. There was nothing she could do to change her clothes and bathe her. But now it was different.

Seventeen years old was enough for her to grow up, and adequate nutrition allowed her development to return to normal levels except for her breasts. Even her limbs, which had become a little sluggish due to years of bed rest, became plump under the nourishment of the holy light, so that now she was enough to tempt people to commit crimes just by lying there.

"What's wrong with me now? Could it be that my dear Shirasaka brother has developed some forbidden desire for me?"

With her eyes half-closed, only at this time would Kunou Mozi call Shirasaka "brother". To her, this was more like a name to add some fun.

"Don't be so arrogant. When you recover from your illness, I will punish you."

Shirasaka tapped Kunou Mozi's nose. This girl had teased him more than once or twice. He would not pretend to know nothing about her undisguised feelings like the wooden male protagonists in those melodramatic stock speculation novels. But given Kunou Mozi's current condition, she would definitely not be able to withstand his torment.

He turned around and took out the clothes that Kunou Mozi had already prepared. After skillfully taking off the hospital gown for the girl lying on the bed, Shirasaka ignored the spring scene in front of him and put on the pure black dress for her like a robot.

"Hehe, there are still socks."

And Kunou Mozi was obviously not as bold as she appeared. The mere fact that Shirasaka accidentally touched her exposed skin when changing her clothes was enough to make her turn almost as pink as a boiled shrimp. She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, as if she was experiencing something extremely shameful.

But even so, she still pointed at her legs stubbornly and raised her eyebrows at Shirasaka.

"I really owe you."

Shirasaka, who had already silently recited the Great Compassion Mantra a hundred times in his mind to calm himself down, glared at the guy, but could only bend down helplessly, thinking about finishing the job for this young lady as soon as possible.

But when he saw the socks neatly arranged next to him, in all kinds of colors such as black, white, red, purple, and even lace-edged hollow tights, which he had only seen in notebooks, he knew the sinister intentions of the guy on the bed.

"You're going too far. It's no fun if you overdo it."

Shirasaka glared fiercely at the girl on the bed who was looking at him with an expression that was three parts shyness and seven parts teasing. For the first time, he regretted using the Holy Light Technique on her.

Isn't this just torturing yourself?

"Why? You can wear whatever you like me to wear. How can you not like this?"

She stretched out her hand and stroked her toes all the way down to her thighs in a teasing manner. Kunou Mozi was very satisfied with the shape of her legs, otherwise she would not have used this to seduce Shirasaka.

She just didn't believe that this guy could ignore this. Jiuzhong Mozi remembered very clearly that every time Shirasaka took her out shopping, his eyes would stay on other girls' legs for an average of 0.3 seconds longer than on other parts of the body. Therefore, it can be easily inferred that this guy is a natural leg control.

"Yes, I like it, isn't that okay? But Miss, please consider your own physical condition. Can you wear these things?"

Looking at the exquisite and perfect legs that were placed in front of him like works of art, Shirasaka sighed again, then took out a pair of white long cotton socks from the cabinet where Kunou Mozi kept her clothes, and put them on her directly, covering up the tempting pair of legs.

"Okay, now that you've changed your clothes, can you tell me what you're trying to do by putting on makeup and changing clothes so late at night?"

After doing all this, Shirasaka didn't wait for Kunou Mozi to continue teasing him. He directly helped her sit up at the head of the bed, then put on a serious look and asked her why she did this.

Shirasaka didn't think that she did this simply to seduce him. Although this guy had bad intentions towards her, he wasn't really that fanatical. She must have her reasons for doing this.

"Ah~ How boring! I can't just try to lure you into having sex with me, before those wild foxes outside can snatch your soul away. Can't I just take the initiative?"

Kunou Mozi sighed regretfully, but after realizing that Shirasaka still had a stern face, she shook her head helplessly.

"Alright, alright. To be honest, I want you to take me out of the hospital. You previously asked me to help you with the deductions, but there are some places that I must personally investigate. Do you understand?"

Chapter 73 Verification Completed

Shirasaka didn't know why Kunou Moko suddenly wanted to leave the hospital, but she must have her reasons for doing so.

As a Chinese who has read all kinds of history in depth, the thing that Shirasaka knows best is that as a reckless man, you should never question your military advisor. If you are not as smart as others, don't think about why those smarter people would do this.

Since the problem has been handed over to her, all I have to do is to carry out her task well.

So, after wrapping Kunou Mozi with the shadow cloak, Shirasaka easily walked out of Kunou Mozi's ward, pushing a wheelchair that looked empty to others.

"We have about three hours of free time. The maid who is responsible for checking my sleep quality usually doesn't enter my ward until after midnight."

While touching the magical cloak that Shirasaka put on her, Kunou Mozi reported to Shirasaka the time available for the two of them to take action.

Although Jiuzhong Mozi was curious about the magical props and magic that Shirasaka could create, she would not exclaim in surprise like a little girl who had never seen the world. After all, Shirasaka would always stand on her side, so the more magical and powerful he was, wouldn't it be a good thing for her?

"I still don't understand why you would do something like this secretly. It's not like you can't control your bodyguards and followers."

Shirasaka pushed Kunou Moko slowly along the side of the road towards the address she had given him, but there was obvious confusion in his eyes.

Jiuchong Mozi was not a caged bird imprisoned in the ward. On the contrary, the reason why she stayed in the ward all year round was mainly due to her physical condition. If it were not for this, she would actually have to run around every day because of various matters concerning the Jiuchong family.

Just like her nominal father.

"You're stupid. If I don't do this, how can I spend time alone with you? You have to let me express my girlish thoughts to make you happy, right?"

Turning around, she reached out and gently pinched Shirasaka's arm. Jiuzhong Mozi gave Shirasaka a charming look in response, but she told him her true purpose without any concealment.

She could certainly command a group of bodyguards and followers to protect her all the way there, but how could that compare to what she was like now, with Shirasaka personally pushing her, as they strolled along this star-filled path like a couple shopping?

"Besides, if what you said is true, and what I have investigated is true, then even with those ordinary followers, I don't think they can protect me as well as you can."

Then she added another sentence based on the previous one, and Kunou Mozi raised her little face in a rather arrogant manner, but her eyes were full of trust in Shirasaka.

"So, this trip is still dangerous?"

Shirasaka scratched his head. He originally thought of bringing Kunou Mozi out just to confirm a few things. Now she said that there are some things that only he can handle, which means that this trip is probably still very dangerous.

Shirasaka knew very well how fierce Kunou Mozi's bodyguards were.

Perhaps if we simply look at their physical fitness, these guys are at most at the level of special forces, but they are all armed with a pistol, and those maids are even more terrifying with submachine guns on their waists. Shirasaka can only say that he is not the kind of superhuman who can resist bullets with his body, so don't even think about breaking through the defense of these bodyguards.

Even now, he is not sure that he can deal with such a group of guys who are armed with guns and shoot very accurately.
