Chapter 8. Alice's Dilemma
"Aren't you afraid of mosquitoes if you stay outside so late?"
It must be said that mosquitoes are always the enemy of mankind, and even powerful operators cannot avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
When Zhou Jinru is adventuring in the wilderness, he always turns on the rigid shield. Only in this way can he protect himself from being bitten.
But Xu Yu smiled and shook her head, and a few slender tentacles swept past her from time to time. This seemed to be her method of repelling mosquitoes.
Sure enough, the racial characteristics are different, Zhou Jinru has no such ability at all.
When he walked into the front hall of the hotel, he saw Miss Philling, who had been as energetic as a chicken blood shot, sitting listlessly in a chair, looking like she had lost the meaning of life, even her tail was hanging limply on the chair.
"Miss Alice, didn't you find any clues?"
The decadent Feilin opened his eyes and glanced at Zhou Jinru, then closed them again. Only his tail waggled a few times, indicating that there was no problem with his hearing.
"Well, if you want, I can help you think about it a little bit."
Zhou Jinru was sitting at the table and saw an announcement in his hand. The landlady happened to pass by and said: "This was delivered in the afternoon. The mariachi band performing in Pingpan made a request, hoping that our locals can form a band to warm up the show.
, Acting Mayor Marcus thinks it’s okay and recruits local musicians.”
"Pingpan is not a big place, but I believe we can put together a band."
"I think so too."
While they were talking, Miss Feilin regained a little strength, dragged her heavy body and sat opposite Zhou Jinru, lying on the table, her cheek against the tabletop, and said in a long tone: "I failed..."
"Just stand up from where you fell. Everyone fails sometimes."
Xu Yu was finally willing to put down the novel in his hands and join in the conversation.
Zhou Jinru found paper and pen from the storage compartment of Black Rose, unscrewed the pen cap, hung the pen tip above the paper, and looked at Alice's side face: "If you are willing, tell me all the clues you can tell, I
I have no intention of interfering with your business, just providing some basic help."
"This commission comes from decades ago, and the content is very short. It preserves a key to this day and sends it to the designated person."
Zhou Jinru wrote down the key clues one stroke at a time and asked: "Who is the recipient?"
"There is no name. I only have his code name here, which is Lao Si."
Zhou Jinru: "..."
There are so many people named Laosi in the world, and even Pingpan, there are probably not a few of them. How do you find them?
He asked again: "Are there any other clues?"
"And the basic characteristics of this person, what is your height?"
Zhou Jinru stood up: "Take off your shoes and your net height is 185 centimeters."
He is indeed quite tall.
Alice held her chin with both hands, clenched her teeth a few times, and nodded: "The fourth child is the same height as you, a male, also 185 centimeters, quite thin, and he doesn't see people in their true colors, has a withdrawn personality, and is not good at communicating.
Especially not good at dealing with women.”
Zhou Jinru wrote on the paper: The fourth child is 185 centimeters tall and thin. He wears a mask or other decoration that covers his face. He has a weird personality, lives alone, and has no relationship with the opposite sex.
He thought for a moment and said seriously: "Miss Alice, it's really possible that the person you mentioned is hiding in Pingpan."
Miss Feilin pricked up her ears, and Xu Yu also looked at the paper in his hand and asked, "Why?"
"Who would not see people with their true colors, either because their face is damaged, or because they want to avoid others, not to reveal their identity, and it is understandable that they are withdrawn and not good at communication. If they don't come into contact with others, there is no risk of exposing themselves. As for
He is not good at dealing with women. I personally think he has no experience in this area and hides away from people when he sees them... Miss Alice, the person you are looking for is not a fugitive, right?"
Alice said seriously: "Although there are indeed some problems in this regard, we never ask about the privacy of our guests."
Zhou Jinru responded and found that Xu Yu had not expressed his opinion. In order to brainstorm ideas, he asked: "Miss Xu Yu, do you have any opinion?"
Xu Yu gently pinched a strand of hair and asked: "Mr. Aguang, under what circumstances can men not be able to deal with women?"
"I am single, I have never been in love, I have never been in contact with girls, and I have always been in a state of isolation from the opposite sex."
After hearing this, Xu Yu shook her head and said: "Actually, there is another situation. This fourth gentleman should have a lover by his side. Only a man with a significant other will reject other members of the opposite sex."
Zhou Jinru nodded awkwardly. He did know about this kind of situation. If he had a girlfriend, he would probably not interact with other girls anymore. He couldn't have sex from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, right?
He added one more thing, the fourth child might have a family.
Alice was puzzled: "So where should I start looking?"
Although there are these clues, it is difficult to form the most intuitive direction. People who are not good-looking may also wear masks, and people with social phobia may refuse to communicate. Moreover, strict hepatic control is also common, even if the height and body shape can be reduced.
It’s too difficult to find people due to the scope.
Zhou Jinru said considerately: "Although the work is troublesome and painful, this is the job of a messenger. You might as well go to the Soaring Swift Bar and ask. Maybe the bartender will have clues."
"I'll think of a solution tomorrow. Thank you for your help."
…
…
"finally reached."
The girl carrying a heavy bag stood on the edge of the city, holding a staff in both hands, and said piously: "God, please guide me in the direction."
The wind held up her long hair, even with two braids in front, but it was useless. After a while, fine grains of sand condensed and formed in front of her.
"This is a blessing from the gods."
She opened her legs and continued walking forward, not caring at all that a duck not far away was looking over with its long neck stretched out.
"boss."
"Do not talk."
Mr. Duck, wearing a top hat, swayed and said to himself: "The light of Londinium attracts people around it, but anyone who yearns for the light will unconsciously move closer to him."
, this will also bring about a new problem. The light can drive away monsters in the dark, and it will also make itself more eye-catching."
"boss……"
"I told you not to interrupt my thoughts!"
Mr. Duck turned around, flapped his wings and yelled at the bodyguard. However, before he could calm down, his retreating feet suddenly stepped on the air and fell into the drainage ditch.
"...Boss, watch your step."
The bodyguard scratched his thick and dense hair, and his reminder seemed to come a little late.
