Elf: Sailing since being taken in by New Leaf Cat

Chapter 172 Investigation Case

Qiu Qing was very surprised when she heard Sha Li mention the disappearance case. How did the other party know about it?And it's still so safe now.

"Haha, don't underestimate me~"

The corners of Shali's lips raised slightly, because she was a photographer and would often take photos and sell them to magazines and news agencies to earn travel expenses for herself, so she made many friends in this field.

When she came to Beishang Township alone more than a month ago, a journalist friend told her not to come here after hearing about it.

Because tourists have often disappeared in Beishang Township in recent years. Although police and reporters have investigated, there are no clues or traces at all, so they had to give up in the end.

After all, it is normal for traveling trainers to encounter accidents occasionally, and their bodies to be exposed in the wilderness. Therefore, in the end, the families of the missing persons also accepted this statement and chose to accept the reality.

But people in the news industry don’t do this. Only those who dig out big news are qualified to stay in this industry.

But despite saying this, since a reporter who went to Beishang Township to investigate also disappeared, not many people are willing to investigate anymore. It is obvious that there is a problem, but it is a bit silly to spend your life to investigate. , so we can only let it go.

Shali was naturally persuaded by her friends in this way, but she still came over. Although such terrible things were hidden in Beishang Township, she thought that as long as she didn't take random photos or ask questions in this regard, nothing would happen. .

Therefore, during the more than a month of living in Kitakami Township, she hardly talked to many people. She only talked to her mother-in-law at Mozawa Store and those at the public center...

"It's that Granny Momozawa who has a problem..."

Qiu Qing complained in her heart that it would be better to try not to let the other party know about this. However, the other party's words reminded him that since many people have paid attention to this aspect before, can relevant content be found online?

After going around for a long time, I finally managed to return to the cyberspace. Can't I just go there and look for it? Since this kind of thing happened, there must be someone involved with it. Maybe the person's inner self will appear in the network. Maybe there’s space!
"Looks like we're going back there again!"

"What did you say?"

Sha Li asked curiously, Qiu Qing quickly shook her head, and then persuaded: "In short, Sister Sha Li, you should leave this matter alone. Knowing too much is not good for you. Although I know that I can't persuade you, but since you know There is a problem here, so I advise you to leave Beishang Township to avoid..."

Before she finished speaking, Shali jumped back slightly and sat on the edge of the guardrail. Then she fiddled with the camera and responded: "Seeing that you helped me so much today, let me help you too. Go and help." Did you take any useful photos?"

"what?"

"Stop it, this is my decision. Do you still want to control my personal freedom? So it's settled, and we'll start taking action tomorrow!"

Sha Li said in a cheerful tone, completely ignoring the other party's consideration for her. This made Qiu Qing really hesitate to speak, and she really didn't know what to say.

"Meow~"

Tiremiao shook her head. You really can't control what the other person wants to do. After all, as a friend, coming here to remind him is already the most benevolent thing.

But if the other party wants to help, then you can cooperate. The other party's photography skills are very strong, and it is easy to observe some places that ordinary people will not notice. Maybe it can really come in handy!

"OK then……"

Qiu Qing sighed, that's all she could do, let the other party join in temporarily, hoping that there would be no surprises next...

As the spaceship slowly lifted into the sky, Shali's screams of excitement never stopped. No matter who it was, it would be like this for the first time experiencing this kind of spacecraft.

But soon, bad news came. Qiu Qing walked out of the cabin and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, all the rooms on the spaceship are full, unless you don't mind others staying..."

"It's okay. I can just set up the tent on the deck. I want to take pictures of the scenery here at night and take pictures of the sunrise in the morning."

Shali responded with a smile.

But Qiu Qing had a headache. She held her forehead and shook her head, saying, "Sister, don't you know how cold it is in the sky at night? I don't want you to be stuck there when the sun comes out tomorrow morning..."

"Forget it, let me sort out the room where Pipa lived. There are windows there and you can see the outside scenery."

Qiu Qing is also really tired. She has to investigate those missing cases later, but she can't stand the hassle.

After helping Shali tidy up the room, he piled some things left by Pipa in the corner. Because he was in a hurry to escape, Pipa left some of the messy daily necessities on the boat and did not take them away.

"Don't touch these things. The bathroom is over there and there is an air conditioner."

"Eh~ Surprisingly not bad."

Shali looked at the environment of the room and was really surprised. Apart from being made of wood, at least the environment and warmth already felt a bit like home.

This is because the bedrooms of the spaceship all have special effects in this regard. No matter who lives in them, they will never be annoyed and can sleep peacefully.

"That's it, see you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Qiu Qing closed the door for the other party, then yawned, returned to her room, and now she got down to business!
He has just contacted Peony and will meet on the spaceship in cyberspace later. In fact, he comes to cyberspace every night. After all, Babu and the others are waiting here, and Oliva also has to take care of the garden. That's it. a little time.

However, except for the first time when Peony brought them here, they have never been here again. Even so, it only lasted a few days...

Soon, they met in the deep sea of ​​data, but today Peony changed her clothes and changed into the one she often wears in the real world, which is a sweater with a lace skirt. After all, cyberspace can be adjusted by the system, except that it cannot Apart from taking off your clothes, you can change your clothes however you want.

But the usual black ones on her body were replaced by white today, the original gray stockings with plus and minus signs were also replaced by pink, and even the Gigantamax Eevee bag on her back became a different-colored Eevee.

"Are you wearing...a nurse's outfit?"

Qiu Qing asked in confusion. Although she looked a little cuter, how should I put it... There was a sense of disobedience, because the other party had no vitality at all, and there was no temperament in this outfit.

Listening to his question, Peony Liu frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with this comment: "It's just dyed. Wear black in the real world, and white in the cyberspace, and vice versa to make a distinction!"

"Alright alright……"

Qiu Qing waved her hand and couldn't help smiling, because Mudan's voice was very small, even when she was angry, it would not be loud, she was too petite.

How do you say something?When you are weak, even anger is cute, and it is really appropriate to put it here...

Mudan pushed the frame of the mirror and asked softly: "So why are you looking for me? If you are investigating something, just send a message directly. There is no need to go to the Internet. After all, it is a waste of time. I use my mobile phone to log in." There’s no need to make things so troublesome if Tom can solve them.”

"Forehead……"

Qiu Qing was slightly startled, it seemed that this was the truth, but why didn't he expect it... This time he was stupid, but he still found an excuse and said: "Maybe I want to say it in front of you."

"Because... you want to see me?" Mudan pursed her lips and asked softly.

"Yes."

Qiu Qing subconsciously nodded in response, but after a few seconds of silence, he seemed to come to his senses and looked up at Mudan. When he was about to explain, he saw a smile on the other person's face, and he seemed very happy.

"This is what suits this outfit..."

This white and pink outfit should be paired with a smile, not a gloomy expression.

After noticing that he was looking at her, Mudan quickly came back to her senses, her face turned red, she lowered her head, coughed slightly, and asked, "Then what do you want from me?"

"Help me investigate the missing cases that have occurred in Beishang Township in recent years. I need all the information about the missing persons, all the reports at the time, and the analysis of the cases on the Internet... By the way, there is also the person who was in Jingguangchi in Beishang Township a few years ago. A drowning death, give me that case too."

After saying this, Qiu Qing came back to her senses, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face: "Sorry, I seem to have said too much..."

Now he also feels that Peony is always used as a tool. The other party is already pitiful enough, and he still does this... I am really sorry for the other party.

But Peony shook her head and responded: "It doesn't matter, for me it's only a matter of 10 minutes, just the time after class to rest."

"No, you'd better find something for me to do so that I don't feel so guilty."

"Don't treat me like an outsider, really!"

Mudan replied angrily, "Guilty, guilty...what are you feeling guilty about? I'm happy to do it!"

Of course, she did not say these words, but wrote down what the other party said just now, but after reading it carefully, she noticed something was wrong: "Are you... involved in something dangerous? Case?"

"Uh... almost..."

After all, Mudan is not an outsider, so Qiu Qing told all the things that happened to him in Bei Shangxiang, including the disappearance of Dolphin Man.

After hearing this, Mudan's face suddenly showed heavy worry, and she persuaded her: "This is too dangerous. No matter who the enemy is, they are obviously here to kill you, so you still..."

Before she finished speaking, Qiu Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, I said these words to other people today. What do you think her answer was?"

"I see……"

No need to explain, Mudan already knew the answer. After all, she knew Qiu Qing relatively well. She knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she could only say: "Okay, but you must pay attention to safety!"

"Do not worry."

"Well, leave these things to me to investigate, but are there any other things? For example... are there any stories from the journey..."

A trace of expectation flashed across Mudan's expression. She had often heard the other party talk about things that happened during the trip, so she hoped that the other party could tell them again.

But Qiu Qing said subconsciously: "Well... there is a cameraman on my spaceship. The spacecraft is parked at an altitude of a thousand meters. She actually plans to set up a tent on the deck to sleep. It's really life-threatening."

"!!!"

Peony instantly became alert. Could this "her" be a woman?Are there other women running onto the other side's spaceship again?

She frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Then she asked in a casual tone: "Is there a new crew member? Is she beautiful? What's her figure like, and her personality..."

Qiu Qing did not hear any weirdness in these questions, and responded subconsciously: "I'm not a new crew member...but she is really good-looking and has a good figure. She is a short-haired sister who is several years older than me. She has a pretty good personality. We get along, but people... there are still some problems."

"Is that so..."

Peony bit her lip lightly. After learning this, she became increasingly nervous and vigilant, as well as a sense of crisis...

So she immediately took action, and based on the information Qiu Qing had given her, she successfully found Shali's photo on the Internet, and then compared it with her own.

Seeing Sha Li who was full of energy and cheerful, Mudan was instantly discouraged... It's over, this is no comparison at all!

And now imagine that the two of them live in the same spaceship, and they are beautiful and have good personalities. Who knows what will happen!
And I... I'm not pretty, not to mention my personality. I have a good figure. I can carry a schoolbag and go to elementary school again without being noticed... It seems that I can't compare with it. I'm covered in everything!

"what happened to you?"

Looking at the other person's expression, which seemed to be uncomfortable, Qiu Qing couldn't help but become worried, and quickly stepped forward and asked: "Hey! Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Mudan shook her head, but she felt bitter in her heart, and a sense of frustration arose spontaneously. It was useless to be angry. She just couldn't compare. She was not good at hardware and software, so she only knew how to play with computers and repair machines.

Thinking of these, the feeling of inferiority suddenly surged into her heart, and the corners of her eyes suddenly became crystal clear. This made Qiu Qing in front of her even more confused. Why was she still crying?

"Don't cry. I shouldn't have bullied you, right?"

Listening to the consolation, Mudan stopped her tears. She lowered her head and was silent for a long time. She bit her lip and asked softly: "Well... I want to ask you a few questions, is it okay? The kind that must be answered..."

"Um...just ask."

Qiu Qing didn't understand what she wanted to do.

After a moment, Mudan slowly spoke out: "Do you think I... am ugly and have a bad personality? I always quarrel with you or criticize you..."

"No, and I think you're quite cute. You're the type I like. It would be nice if you could smile more. You looked really cute when you smiled just now, and it goes well with this outfit."

Qiu Qing responded subconsciously, but Mudan was completely stunned after hearing this, and even once doubted whether the person in front of her had a problem with her aesthetics.

Especially the middle paragraph made her feel incredible, so in a daze, she subconsciously asked: "Do you really... like me?"

"Hmm...huh? Huh? What is it?"
