"All right."
Yi Hua watched Wei Fei who seemed to be sighing. After the man finished, he immediately looked back at Yi Hua. It was as if the man had a lot of grievances inside his head.
But without waiting for Yi Hua to ask, Wei Fei immediately started the conversation.
"Didn't Yi Hua promise we'll meet at Zhu City Center?" wei Fei asked in annoyance.
"I've come, already" Yi Hua replied as she was.
Yi Hua showed her flat face. Being the arrogant and cold Yi Hua as always. Although sometimes the cold attitude is not really visible. Because, he seemed to have gotten used to living agile like a calf.
Maybe in my previous life I wasn't a quiet person.
That was all Yi Hua could think of.
Yi Hua questioned Wei Fei. However Yi Hua was known as a man, and Wei Fei still blatantly liked him. Well, Yi Hua indeed could not comment on the feelings of others.
But why was this noisy Wei Fei already making a fuss when Yi Hua had just arrived?
Yi Hua looked at Wei Fei as if nothing was wrong. He came as promised. She decided to take part in a street dance today. However, why did Wei Fei look at him as if Yi Hua's nose was moving to the feet?
"Then, why bring this man?" point Wei Fei at the tall figure behind Yi Hua.
Oh ...
Yi Hua forgot that he was not alone.
The man, An, was not visibly bothered by Wei Fei's disheveled face. Instead, An remained flat as if he was a freshly leveled cake on the grill. Well, Yi Hua obviously could not comment on An's face which was always flat and calm.
"She's my sister" Yi Hua told a lie. However, he could not think about the identity of An who came suddenly.
Wei Fei looked at An with doubt. "You're sure he's your brother?"
Yi Hua turned a glance at An, and the man only looked at Yi Hua calmly. Then, Yi Hua looked back to the front and replied, "Ha ... We are not similar. But we are sister, different womb, another father. We haven't seen each other since we lived in a different house from birth. I see." Yi Hua obviously did not think about the meaning of that answer anymore.
Wei Fei embraced Yi Hua's shoulder casually. Then, the man whispered to Yi Hua. "Do you know he looks like he wants to kill me now!!! It's like I'm taking his castle."
Yi Hua turned to An again, and shook his head inexplicably.
"Indeed her face like that," Yi Hua replied.
And, Wei Fei could only shake his head when he understood that Yi Hua was a rare, insensitive being around.
SRETT!
When he heard that voice, Wei Fei immediately released his embrace quickly. However, it was not because An drew his sword. The man only moved to fix Yi Hua's slanted head covering.
"Surely he was on purpose," Wei Fei cried inwardly.
TENGS!
TENGS!
"Wei Fei!! Let's start!"
Again, the sound of the bell was heard. The culprit was certainly the girl with the rather shabby clothes. Like yesterday, the girl called Wei Fei as if she didn't care if her throat was broken or not. Maybe this girl is one of the dancers in their group.
"Yes, I'm going there," Wei Fei shouted before pulling Yi Hua's hand.
But An first distanced Yi Hua from Wei Fei's reach. It made Wei Fei laugh again cheerfully. This meeting feels very interesting.
Wei Fei waved at Yi Hua. "Don't go, 'cause dance lessons after this."
On that occasion, Yi Hua asked Xiao who was somehow deserted today. "Is he dying again?"
"No, HuaHua. Maybe I was just feeling wrong," Xiao replied lazily.
The problem is how could this system possibly be feeling wrong?
Something wrong is happening here. How could the aura of death be drowned around Wei Fei?
"The thing I'm afraid of is if he finds out that you suspect him. That's what makes him look 'normal' rather than yesterday," Xiao explained straight to the point.
If it was like that, Wei Fei was probably more vigilant than Yi Hua had expected.
Wei Fei approached the children who were wandering around the accompaniment of the dancers. The children seemed to be the wandering Zhu City children. Wei Fei looked very familiar with those children, even the children liked her too.
They surrounded Wei Fei to get flowers, which Wei Fei somehow kept. It's just that the flowers look like they never end. The man was like taking out a flower from his clenched palm.
It was like an interesting show for the kids. A magic where flowers could just appear from Wei Fei's palm.
"How did he do it?" yi Hua asked An.
The man was still standing behind Yi Hua. However Yi Hua could clearly hear his answer. "He took it off his broad sleeve" An replied slowly.
The essence of this 'magic' was that Wei Fei had to wear clothes with wide sleeves. After that, the rest is just the speed of the hand and the cleverness to trick the eye's gaze. Yi Hua gave a thumbs up for Wei Fei's quick and skillful hand movements.
Wait a minute ... Fast and skillful hands?
"What about the results of the investigation in the Southern City?" yi Hua asked An.
As Yi Hua knew, An came here after coming from the Southern City. This man was assigned to check in a different city. After that, An somehow even caught up to Zhu City. This man should have reported to the kingdom.
I don't know why An always acts so easily. Not even afraid of government policy.
"Nothing interesting. Only about each child having its own suffering" replied An who was embracing Yi Hua's shoulder.
That made Yi Hua raise her head to protest. However, the man twisted Yi Hua's chin again to continue staring at the show ahead. It was as if the two of them were just watching.
"Are we not acting like we're sisters? You wouldn't be considered weird if you got too close." An's voice sounded calm over Yi Hua's head.
Yi Hua no longer rebelled. He chose to focus on the problem investigated by An. "What do you mean by having your own suffering?"
"Like a child not loved by his family. Or, children who suffer because their parents often beat or drunk. Like that" answered An.
The agony? They disappeared because they were suffering. Didn't he? Can it be a relevant reason?
"Maybe there's a hero who thinks he's saving." An's voice this time was very deep. Yi Hua could barely hear him clearly.
When Yi Hua wanted to ask, Wei Fei headed towards them again. In his hand was a flower with striking white petals.
"The first time I saw Yi Hua in a crowd of people, I thought why would such a beautiful white rose be able to grow there?" wei Fei said with her distinctive smile.
Then, Yi Hua simply answered her flatly. "Maybe it's the dirt in your eyes that makes the white color more visible."
Wei Fei responded with an attractive smile.
But about the white rose, Yi Hua was indeed often dressed in white. That was because all of Yi Hua's original clothes were white. Coupled with the typical clothes that are often used by Yi Hua while working, namely royal diviner clothes. The clothes were indeed made with a very striking white color. So maybe that was what made Wei Fei think about the white rose when he saw it.
"Thank you." Yi Hua received the flower from Wei Fei's hands.
At least it was a gift from someone else.
"Let's dance, Yi Hua," Wei Fei said before pulling Yi Hua's hand.
That thing that blinded Yi Hua's head covering came off. Plus Yi Hua was clearly not ready to be pulled like this. His body was quite light, and it made him seem unable to maintain balance.
He thought this hand didn't hurt when it was pulled!!
SRETT!
It made Yi Hua pause for a moment until Wei Fei's voice surprised him. It made the thing Yi Hua was thinking about become scattered. Yi Hua stiffly took her headgear on An. Even without saying anything.
It's just ...
It was like he was seeing his memories. Memories of his life he wanted to know. Although it was only in a flash, and Yi Hua did not know who Yi Hua saw in the flash.
"Xiao, is that my own memory?" asked Yi Hua. Even unconsciously he said it directly.
Luckily he was around them so crowded that no one could hear his words.
Xiao answered blankly. "true."
"Why did those memories come when I wasn't nearly dead?" ask Yi Hua again.
"Maybe it's because you saw something that reminds you of the memories of your previous life," Xiao replied in Yi Hua's ear.
Yi Hua looked at An who looked increasingly distant. It was not because An was away, but Yi Hua was pulled by Wei Fei to head into the crowd. Even so, Yi Hua could see clearly at An.
The man was standing watching him.
"Although you never knew about me, but I always knew about you." That was what echoed in Yi Hua's head.
Yi Hua suddenly felt a headache.
Who told him that? As far as Yi Hua wanted to remember, but the memories never reached her. With his stinginess, those memories came.
Even just as briefly as when cows eat!
"Why don't you dance?" wei Fei asked as she saw Yi Hua still standing upright.
Yi Hua let out a slow breath. He should focus on this case!
He moved his hand, but it was very bad. He looked like he was going to hit people instead of dancing. This made him immediately pull his hand back.
"I'd better see you dance. I can't dance because my hands are better suited to draw water" said Yi Hua, who was embarrassed to see Wei Fei who was more graceful than her.
Wei Fei smiled again. "Master said we should start by flexing the movement."
Master again?
Since yesterday Yi Hua had never seen the 'Master' that Wei Fei meant. Even so, this was already the umpteenth time Wei Fei had called it. Plus the face of Wei Fei. It was like a child telling me about his father.
"What is this 'Master' that teaches you to dance?" yi Hua asked a bit loudly. That's because they are so crowded around.
Wei Fei nodded. "Master didn't just teach me to dance. He also gave us a place to stay. I was thinking if I should return the favor to her one day."
Yi Hua could only conclude that Wei Fei was not the son of a 'complete' family'. Even so, everything still felt gray on Yi Hua's head. He was very confused to deduce everything around him.
The missing children. They were all unhappy children in their residence. There is no record of these children returning home, either alive or dead.
The bodies of children were found. However they were not the corpses of the child that disappeared earlier. Every time a body is found, this group of dancers are always in the same place.
This group of dancers seems to be formed from children who have no place to live. Even so, the children that Yi Hua saw dancing yesterday were also not among the missing children.
The kind-hearted master who became the owner of this group of dancers. He looked like he was providing a place, capital, and Wei Fei seemed to like him. It doesn't look like someone who's been coercing children.
Xiao said slowly. "You must have a conjecture in your head, HuaHua. Why didn't you mention it?"
Xiao, I don't know why I feel that all this is still connected.
"Why?"
"This is not a single crime. There's a long thing behind this case. Maybe those missing kids are somewhere. Either alive or dead. Meanwhile, the children who had come with Wei Fei .." Yi Hua's words came to a halt when he raised his own hand.
The flowers that Wei Fei shared were not just flowers. Surprisingly, this flower is only given to children. One of the flowers must be poisonous. It was the chosen child.
However because Wei Fei pulled Yi Hua's hand, the man forgot that he had previously touched the poison.
A little slit will knock the squirrels down. Although he is good at jumping, but the gap will make him slip.
Yi Hua was someone who knew little about materials like this. Plus Xiao is a system that has hearing, smell, vision that is a hundred times better than humans. He could detect the presence of poison in Wei Fei's hands. Although the number is only a little.
"Now, there's gonna be a dead kid, right?" yi Hua asked a bit loudly. Even he was sure Wei Fei would hear him.
BRUK!
"What's going on?"
"There's a body!" The hysterical scream was heard again.
Without waiting much time Yi Hua broke through to see who the victim was. And as expected, another child. He may be 7-8 years old. A little girl with a pale pretty face.
Third victim in Zhu City.
Yi Hua turned to look for Wei Fei. And, that man was still beside her.
If Wei Fei were the killer, then this man wouldn't be around him?
This guy acts like he doesn't want to look like a killer. Though something like this was a thing that could be done even without his own hands. Unfortunately, Yi Hua already had the possibility of this all.
If there is something to blame. Perhaps it was because Wei Fei was too monitor lizard to always seduce Yi Hua.
Wei Fei looked at Yi Hua with a smile on his face. "Are you a fortune teller, Hua Yi? How did you know about this?"
Yi Hua looked arrogantly towards Wei Fei. "I am indeed a fortune teller, Mr. Wei."
