Chapter 230 Miss Eden

Xia Yuan smelled the strong aroma of alcohol permeating the nearby carriage.

"Eden, you've been drinking again. If you continue to drink excessively like this, your body will collapse. I'm still investigating the case of missing jewelry, so I'm not suitable for drinking."

There was a hint of helplessness in Xia Yuan's eyes.

His friend was good in every way except that he was addicted to alcohol.

"Great detective, solving cases also requires inspiration. If you keep suppressing your inner thoughts, your body will collapse. Why don't you have a drink? Maybe you can get a clear picture of the whole story of the case."

Eden slowly took off his hood.

The long, smooth burgundy hair has a unique fragrance, and there are charming blushes and dimples on both sides of her cheeks.

Apparently, Eden is drunk...

However, it was Eden who lost the jewelry. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, he was drinking during lunch. But the train was no longer safe.

Out of concern for his friend and consideration for his safety, Xia Yuan snatched the goblet from Eden's hand.

"Eden, why are you on this steam train?"

"Great Detective, drink this glass of red wine and I'll tell you, how about that?"

Xia Yuan sighed helplessly and said earnestly:

"Listen to me, Eden... This train is no longer safe. At least four forces are involved. Although it is not clear what the purpose of stealing the jewelry is, I ask you to go to the next transfer station and leave here as soon as possible."

Before Xia Yuan could finish his words, Eden suddenly tripped him.

His body involuntarily leaned backwards and the wine glass in his hand fell off. But just as Xia Yuan was about to fall to the ground, Eden grabbed Xia Yuan's body and caught the glass of red wine.

Not a drop of red wine flowed out of the glass.

"My friend, thank you for your kindness, but it seems that you, the great detective, should be the one who needs more protection. A true artist must also be good at martial arts."

Eden chuckled and helped Xia Yuan up.

"Why don't you change your career to become a martial artist, Eden? I'm sure the newspapers will soon publish the news that the greatest artist in the world gave up literature to take up martial arts."

"Mr. Detective, you are still so humorous. Aren't you curious about why I appeared on this steam train?"

Eden put Xia Yuan's gentleman's hat back on him.

"why?"

"Mr. Detective, why don't you take a guess, or..."

Eden suddenly kept the secret and handed the glass of red wine to Xia Yuan again. The meaning expressed in his bright eyes was very clear.

Drink it and you will know everything.

"Eden, my friend... You know I don't drink when I'm thinking. It makes my mind dull and confused."

Looking at Xia Yuan's silent expression at this moment, Eden suddenly spoke with some nostalgia:

"Great Detective, Kevin, Mei, and I have been studying and growing up together in the same school since we were young. You have never been very sociable. You always like to be alone and observe people and things. You didn't even attend the party on the day of the graduation ceremony. Did you know that there is a beautiful woman who is waiting for you foolishly, but she has not shown up yet?"

Eden bit his lip slightly and said softly:

"Great Detective, just consider it as compensation for what happened to me that time, okay?"

Xia Yuan understands...

He used to be so obsessed with reasoning and solving cases that he even neglected the time agreed with Eden.

He owed it to Eden.

"If I drink it, Eden, you will leave after the next station."

"As you wish."

After watching Xia Yuan drink it all in one gulp, Eden smiled knowingly.

"In fact, the reason why I am on the train is, firstly, for the various fine wines in Shenzhou, the final destination of this train, and secondly, for you, the great detective."

"Come for me?"

After drinking half a glass of red wine, Xia Yuan covered his forehead, trying to minimize the effect of the alcohol on his mind.

"But the only person who knows that Fu Hua and I boarded this steam train should be Theresa, a senior executive of the Tianming Police Department."

"My friend, your connections are not exclusive to you~"

Eden blinked.

Xia Yuan seemed to have thought of something. Theresa betrayed herself again for a little bitter melon juice.

"As a friend of Mr. Detective, and since this matter was caused by me, I came here specifically to help you, the great detective, solve your problem.

"After the jewels were stolen, I screened and compiled a list of the jewelry I purchased. However, some of the jewelry I obtained involved some high-level officials of Destiny and Anti-Entropy. I wanted to hand it over to you in person."

Eden handed the prepared file to Xia Yuan.

Carefully browsing the accessories that were highlighted by Eden and the people they once belonged to, Xia Yuan saw several names that were familiar... but also felt a little unfamiliar.

【Raiden Ryoma】, 【Cocolia】, 【Mei】, 【Moriarty Aine】,

If there were items left by Raiden Ryoma among those jewelry, then Raiden Mei would have a motive to commit the crime, but... new questions arose in Xia Yuan's mind.

Why did Mei Raiden do this on purpose?

According to his understanding of Eden, if Mei Raiden wanted to redeem the jewelry, she could communicate with Eden directly. He believed that the considerate Eden would definitely not care about a piece of jewelry.

Also, why did Mei Raiden deliberately fake a home break-in?

As for Dr. May, it was said that she seemed to have gone on a spontaneous romantic trip with Kevin.

Common name: honeymoon.

As for [Cocolia] and [Moriarty Ain], he had only heard of them but had never met them. It was said that Dr. Ain was currently serving as a professor of physics in a university.

Rumor has it that she has a little follower with red twin ponytails.

Just then, the roaring steam train slowly stopped, and it seemed that it had arrived at the station.

"Eden, my friend, thank you for the clue you provided. It is very valuable to me. As agreed, it is time to get off the car and leave here."

The train has arrived at the next transfer station.

Xia Yuan signaled Eden to get off the bus at the station, but Eden did not take any action at this time.

"Great Detective, if you step down... I will step down~~"

Seeing his friend trying hard to suppress the urge to lose his temper, Eden understood that the other party was worried about his safety, but when had he ever considered his own safety?

"It's just a joke, my friend. I'm going down right now, but please be careful."

Eden covered his face with a hood, and walked out of the carriage reluctantly, looking back every few steps. However, he got back on the train among the crowd. Xia Yuan was worried about Eden's safety, but Eden was also worried about him.

After seeing Eden leave, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 231 The Lady is Here, Everyone Get Out of the Way

Currently, there is a woman wearing a fox mask who wants to assassinate him.

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.

The enemy is in the dark, he is in the light... the other party is obviously coming for him. Before investigating the other party's purpose clearly, he must not implicate Eden.

Tread-tap-

A hurried sound of footsteps came from the far end of the carriage. Fu Hua had come to Xia Yuan's side without him noticing, and placed her slightly thick palm on Xia Yuan's shoulder.

"......Hua, can you be a little gentler next time?"

Xia Yuan's expression seemed a little strange and unnatural.

"Hug...sorry."

Fu Hua, who couldn't control the strength of her hands, silently let her hand go from Xia Yuan's shoulder.

"No....It's okay. What did Theresa say?"

Xia Yuan moved his aching shoulder and asked Fu Hua beside him.

"Yuan, I have contacted Theresa on the train. The person who met Padufils two days after the jewelry theft was codenamed [Gray Snake]. His apparent identity in the city is a black marketeer..."

Fu Hua explained to Xia Yuan in an orderly manner.

She just vaguely smelled the scent of red wine in the air, and also a faint fragrance of some unknown flower.

"I didn't expect that the person who would meet Padu would be Gray Snake..."

Xia Yuan recalled the two cups of coffee placed on Gray Snake's table. It seemed that the person he was waiting for was Padua Felice. Perhaps this was the girl's first time riding a steam train...

Unfamiliar place.

As a result, Padova got on the wrong carriage and my sudden arrival forced the transaction to be terminated.

"By the way, Hua, did Theresa send us more people?"

"Yes, there is, but..."

Fu Hua hesitated to speak.

"The person who works in the transit station city happens to be Theresa's eldest niece. When she found out that this train would take her to Changkong City, which she manages, she insisted on coming to see you, Yuan."

Because of her outstanding skills, Fu Hua was invited by Theresa to serve as an instructor for a period of time. She had seen Kiana being forcibly dragged here for training by Theresa.

"Uh...niece?"

Xia Yuan had already thought of a little girl with the same hair color as himself and a pair of ponytails.

However, with her brain that is almost as clever as a paramecium, she alone accounts for half of the reputation of the Tianming Police Station among the citizens.

"Yes, Theresa also asked us to take care of her."

"........"

Xia Yuan suddenly fell silent.

Isn't Theresa really causing trouble for herself?

Known as the dumbest detective in the history of the Destiny Police Department...

Kiana successfully dragged the entire Tianming Police Station into the water by herself. If it weren't for her identity as Theresa's niece, Xia Yuan would have thought that Kiana was sent to Tianming by other organizations to cause trouble.

"Hmm? Making trouble..."

A flash of inspiration and lightning suddenly burst into Xia Yuan's mind.

Perhaps some of this case was actually a smoke screen thrown by the other side.

At this moment, a fierce quarrel was heard from the far end of the carriage. Xia Yuan and Fu Hua looked at each other and rushed towards the source of the quarrel.

When the two arrived at the scene, they saw the green-haired girl in a white coat who was having a verbal conflict with a man wearing a mask and a chef's apron standing in the aisle.

"Are you the chef on this train?"

"Let's not talk about the bad food for now, but they don't even give passengers ketchup?"

The green-haired girl questioned the man in front of her.

"I told you... kid, they're all sold out. If you want to eat it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, forget it."

The masked man crossed his arms over his chest and a slightly hoarse and low voice came out from under the mask. His many years as a chef made him particularly impatient with such picky passengers.

"Who are you calling a kid?!"

The green-haired girl was about to reach out her hand to argue with him, but when she looked at the drooping sleeves of her gown, she seemed to have thought of something and resisted the urge to cut the man in front of her into pieces.

The fewer people knew about her body shrinking before the plan started, the better.

When Fu Hua saw the man wearing a strange mask in the corridor, she silently clenched her hands. According to her secret investigation over the years, her father's death was likely related to the man in front of her.

The man's name is Qianjie.

His age is unknown, but the village where he used to live caught fire accidentally, and no one except him survived. A small village in Shenzhou where Fu Hua's father lived also happened to experience a fire shortly before the accident.

"Hua, calm down. When we arrive in Shenzhou, I will investigate everything that happened."

Xia Yuan placed his hand on his partner's shoulder to comfort him.
