I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

※※※

The next day, at 7:00 in the morning.

After a long day of rain, the cold streets finally regained a touch of warmth.

In the brand-new Shinjuku district, did a morning runner pass by the One Yuan Apartment, the door of the One Yuan Apartment was pushed open, and Rita, who had not slept all night, walked out of the door, swaying from side to side, to breathe the fresh morning air.

Last night was a nightmare.

However, there is another reason for not being able to sleep.

That is, Mashiro's dream of being an illustrator and cartoonist was driven by her...

It was she who encouraged Zhenbai to pursue her dream, and it was she who pushed her to meet the master of light novels and strive to be the other party's illustrator...

Thinking about it now, she felt that she was not qualified to deny all that Shiro had now.

On the other hand, she herself is really qualified to take Mashiro back to Sakura Village, make up for her, and protect her, as Chihiro-sensei said...

In the early morning, the streets were bright and sunny, and there was still some water mist. The potted plants of the residents in the street began to sprout, making life here a little more comfortable.

Suddenly, just as Rita was walking on the street, the corner of her eyes could not help but notice a figure swaying like her, and a picture from her subconscious flashed into her mind.

"!"

Rita turned to look.

In front of her, the young man in white clothes turned his back to her, walking in the cold morning wind.

Desolate, firm, mysterious, silent...

That back figure, gradually, was exactly the same as the oil painting "The Back of Sherlock Holmes" by Shiina Mashiro...

Chapter 317 Li Yan's "True Face"

In the early morning, it was cloudy and the temperature was 5°C. Wet water droplets flowed down the glass in the corridor of the apartment building.

In Room 505 of the apartment building, Li Yan, who finally returned to his apartment, quickly went out, his face was quite bad.

After Li Yan, who had not slept all night, just returned, as he expected, the kitchen was basically messed up, and the ingredients, cans, and sauces in the refrigerator were all gone, and even the salt was so wet that it was inedible.However, the cause of food poisoning has not yet been found. He stores absolutely safe food in his kitchen and refrigerator. Even he is good at chemistry. so that they could all be taken to the hospital.

Fortunately, Alice and Victoria were able to leave the hospital this afternoon, so he came back to clean up the room first, so that the house would not be available after returning.

Just when I took my bicycle out of the bicycle parking place, the bicycle made a metal cracking sound, the entire front wheel twisted and twisted, and the metal screw that fixed the wheel was finally overwhelmed and broke in half.

"..."

Li Yan stood at the door of the apartment, staring blankly at the bicycle he had fallen apart, and felt that these days were not suitable for traveling.

Just as Li Yan was distressed to check his bicycle that he had used for less than a year and a half, Rita in a hidden corner of the apartment building was secretly staring at the figure of this oriental man.

"Very good, it seems to be going out..."

Rita watched in secret, thinking silently.

After all, she is also an excellent professional art student. In the British art school, her grades are second only to Shiina Mashiro. For the students in school, she is already regarded as a student of the school, but her roommates and classmates are Shiina Mashiro...a genius who has begun to hold art exhibitions in various countries.Therefore, it is easy to recognize the prototype of Sherlock Holmes, which Mashiro has recently become interested in creating.

"The Back of Sherlock Holmes", although it is not the best of the true white paintings artistically, it seems to have taken a lot of thought to create a new work. The black is mixed with a bit of dark red. Although the structure is simple, when you first see it , that indescribable impact made Rita still fresh in her memory, as if oil painting had become a channel connecting painting and reality... The world is dark, gloomy and unknown, but the back in a white coat is bravely blending in. Fighting, this kind of oil painting that beats the audience's heart no matter how many times she recalls it, Rita once again sees a gap that is difficult to catch up...

This person is the man standing behind Shiina Mashiro...

So, no matter what, she wanted to know about this Oriental man himself and the relationship between him and Shiina Mashiro.

However, now it seems that Li Yan's luck is not good...

She waited in the corner for several minutes, helplessly looking at the international student who could repair bicycles by herself, and always felt that she could not understand the value of repairing this broken car.

After Li Yan identified some bicycle parts that needed to be replaced, he finally put the bicycle back to its original position, and was officially ready to go on foot.

7:25 minutes.

Rita waited for several minutes again, watching Li Yan who didn't know what he was doing.

After disposing of the bicycle, the university student turned to an unmanned parking lot and muttered something to a black car.

"...What's the matter, is it too lonely to have such a strange behavior...I always feel that it looks very dangerous." Rita, who was hiding behind the telephone pole, thought with some worry and fear.

However, this period of time was also very fast. Li Yan patted the black supra and left. It looked like this, Rita was also relieved. The short-term actions of people talking to themselves about objects and animals were nothing. , psychologically considered to be a manifestation of loneliness and hope for a partner.

"!"

However, when Rita was about to follow, inadvertently, the black Supra parked in the parking lot of the residential area suddenly flashed its headlights twice, which made Rita stunned for a moment, and looked at the unmanned car. Supra in the car.

"...Illusion?" Rita thought.

What's going on... That flash just now, it looks like this car is saying goodbye to Li Yan...

At 7:41, after boarding the tram and arriving at an unfamiliar street in Tokyo, Li Yan, who was walking on his own in front, and Rita, who was sneaking behind him, always attracted the attention of passers-by.

In such a situation, it is extremely easy to guess that it is the live broadcast of the hatchet incident.

However, on Li Yan's way to the supermarket, he seemed to have encountered a new situation.

The expression of this international student suddenly became shocked, and then he fled to the alley in the residential area at the fastest speed, hiding himself tightly.

"Huh?" Rita curiously looked at what happened to Li Yan in front of her.

However, she soon noticed that there were no conspicuous passers-by or scenes in front of her. Some, only two black and white police cars were parked on the side of the road. A group of police officers were standing on the street talking about things. Among them, there was one A middle-aged male police officer with a serious and ferocious face, and a beautiful female police officer who looks gentle and serious beside him.
