Facing Yibu Youxian's puzzled gaze, Qin Wenyu gave the answer: "You heard it just now, the person the police on both sides talked about."

Ibuki thought about it and suddenly realized.

"The person who called the police!"

"But... how do we find him?"

"No clue."

Qin Wenyu held his luggage in one hand and placed the other in the pocket of the down jacket, giving Yi Chu Youxian an unexpected answer.

“Eh?”

Ibuki was stunned. What should I do now?

The two were walking aimlessly in Dazang Township. Qin Wenyu was walking in front. Ibuki was separated from him. Various ice sculptures stood on both sides of the road. The fine snow fell swaying under the breeze. Qin Wenyu looked around and took a few glances. Dazang Township had put in a lot of effort for this winter festival.

After almost moving the entire village, Qin Wenyu seemed to have a goal and walked towards a single-family house.

Ibuki followed him inexplicably, and came to the doorbell with the words "Matsumoto" written on the side.

Qin Wenyu rang the doorbell very directly, and the person responded was a woman.

"Hello, I'm a policeman."

Qin Wenyu took Yi Chu's work permit and flicked past the camera.

"Mr. Police...I've been staying at home and haven't gone out..."

The middle-aged woman said with deep grudges.

"Well, you're doing a good job, Mrs. Matsumoto," Qin Wenyu said in a formulaic tone, "But things have changed a little, we need to know something, please open the door and let us in."

The middle-aged woman seemed surprised, and the doorbell was silent for a while before she responded.

"If you're willing to come in, then okay..."

The contact through the doorbell was temporarily interrupted, and footsteps came from the courtyard.

The one who opened the door was indeed a slightly fat middle-aged woman.

A slightly puzzled gaze flashed through the other party's eyes, but neither party spoke. Under the leadership of the woman, the three of them entered the living room.

This home is not small, the entrance hall is particularly tall and spacious, the floor is made of wooden, and the furniture and decoration are still in the style of the last century. The chandeliers on the top of the living room and the walls on the walls are dark yellow. No household appliances are seen yet.

Overall, the lighting in the whole room is not very good, maybe this is why the lights are turned on at home during the day.

Qin Wenyu took a few seconds to scan the environment of this family, and finally stopped her eyes on the busy woman in front of her.

"Please use tea."

The other party knelt in front of Qin Wenyu and Yi Chu Youxian and brewed a cup of green tea for them.

"Thank you," Qin Wenyu picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Please repeat the specific content of the report again, Mrs. Matsumoto."

The woman looked sad and lamented: "No one believes it...but I really saw it, another curator."

Qin Wenyu's heart moved: "Another curator? Is the curator here referring to Mr. Aoki Kitahara?"

Mrs. Matsumoto nodded: "Yes, Mr. Kitanohara Aoki, because he has been to our village more than once, almost everyone knows him and knows that he is the director of the Izumo Museum."

"Does Mr. Aoshi Kitahara come to the winter festival every year, or do they come often on weekdays?" Qin Wenyu asked.

"Like tourists, we only come during the winter festival..." Mrs. Matsumoto replied.

Qin Wenyu nodded clearly and said, "Please continue and talk about your meeting with another director in detail."

Mrs. Matsumoto's face showed an incredible and scared look and said, "Last night... it should be nine o'clock. I saw two curatorial gentlemen near the cave where the festival was about to be held! It's true!"

When she mentioned this, she became excited and her kneeling posture became a little straighter.

Ibuki Yuxian was also a little creepy when she heard this strange statement.

How is that possible?

Isn’t the curator missing? Why did this Mrs. Matsumoto see two curators?

"Did the two curators appear in front of you at the same time?" Qin Wenyu asked.

"No...not at the same time, just after nine o'clock, I saw a curator walking out of the cave. About five minutes later, another curator walking out of the cave! They are really... exactly the same!" Mrs. Matsumoto said with fear.

"You mean, two curators walked out of the cave last night and were both missing?" Qin Wenyu sat cross-legged, put his hands on his knees, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Is the cave you mentioned used to hold a winter festival every year?"

"Yes……"

“It only has one entrance or exit?”

"There is only one!" She suddenly became excited, "It is absolutely impossible that the director walked out of the cave and entered the cave from another entrance. After coming out, I grew up in the village. There is only one entrance and exit in that cave!"

Is this what...

Qin Wenyu looked at her and suddenly asked, "Mrs. Matsumoto, why are you so sure it's nine o'clock in the evening? And, what are you doing near the cave during that time?"

Mrs. Matsumoto's face changed and she suddenly fell silent.

Ibuki Yuxian looked at Qin Wenyu, then looked at the Matsumoto Mrs. Matsumoto, and felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing and heavy.

"You are not police!"

She suddenly shouted loudly.

Qin Wenyu looked at her with a calm expression: "You don't care who we are, don't you?"

"Whether the police or the media, as long as you can help you enter that cave, anyone can do it." Qin Wenyu said calmly.

Mrs. Matsumoto opened her mouth and fell silent again.

Qin Wenyu looked at her for a moment, stood up and said, "Then, we won't disturb you."

Ibuki Yusheng also quickly stood up, bent down and said, "Thank you for your reception, Mrs. Matsumoto."

Ms. Matsumoto watched Qin Wenyu and Ibuki leave their home without saying a word.

It was not until he left the Matsumoto family that Ibuki Yuki did not breathe a long sigh.

"Huh...Mr. Qin, is what Mrs. Matsumoto said true?"

"I don't know." Qin Wenyu looked back at the Matsumoto home, "But even if it was fake, the police in Dazang Township are very strange. They seem to not want Dazang Township to be investigated."

"Maybe it's because of the winter festival?" Ibuki Yusheng glanced around, "Datomaru has spent a lot of money on the winter festival every year. If the case is suspended, the loss will be huge..."

Qin Wenyu nodded, and he thought so too.

"By the way, are there any strange rumors about the winter festival in Dazang Township?" Qin Wenyu suddenly asked.

"Strange rumor?" Ibuki Yuxian frowned and thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No... However, the winter festival in the Dazang Township seems to have magical effects!"

"Magic effect?" Qin Wenyu's heart moved and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

Yibuki Youxian simply took out his cell phone, pressed it for a while, and handed it to Qin Wenyu.

Qin Wenyu took the phone and saw that there was a search information about Dazang Township.

The most conspicuous one is the winter festival in Dazang Township.

"Reborn~ The magical change of the Snow Festival!"

Qin Wenyu clicked on it and saw some really magical examples listed.

For example, after a domestic violence man participated in the snow festival, he completely changed his personality and became gentle and polite.

After participating in the snow festival for many years, smokers stopped smoking a cigarette and successfully quit smoking.

After attending the snow festival with poor health, an office worker who had a bad condition disappeared out of thin air...

There are countless examples of this.

Suddenly, Qin Wenyu's cell phone vibrated.

He handed Yi Chu back his cell phone and pressed the answer button of his phone.

"Hello."

"Hey, is it Mr. Qin just now? I am Nagasaki from Shimane Prefecture Police Station."

Is it the police officer who asked him to leave a phone number just now?

"It's me, Nagasaki Police Officer."

"Please come to Yuqiaozhai immediately, just southeast of the village, a hot spring village. We found the director here."

Qin Wenyu's eyes changed slightly and she responded: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yibuki Youxian saw that Qin Wenyu looked a little solemn, and asked carefully: "What's wrong...Mr. Qin?"
