Prologue, Encounter

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Upon seeing me, You displayed a somewhat astonished expression while dressed in ordinary attire. However, when she noticed the girl standing behind me, her round eyes darted around.

No need.

I regretted not buying a lottery ticket today while cautiously watching that guy. Yu was taken hostage in his hands, and ordinarily, one should not act rashly. ... However, this is not applicable in all situations ...

Indeed, Mr. Zhun is truly remarkable

Hand it over to you

He placed the wallet in his bosom and forced himself to muster the energy to gaze outside the car. The street, which should have been bustling with activity, was now devoid of any human presence. The entire commercial street seemed to exude a lifeless atmosphere. Although the shops were open, without any customers, they served no purpose at all

Although she had objections to my words, the girl still obediently nodded. Then, she suddenly dashed out from behind me, disappearing into the mist in an instant. The man, in a panic, fired a shot, but it seemed he did not hit anything, so he aimed the gun at me. "You, you are impatient to live!"

Perhaps it was due to my earlier fall, but this girl spoke with particular respect. I pointed to the sky and then waved my wristwatch at her.

Welcome, Mr. Zhun

Have you been waiting from just now until now

After finishing her sentence, You immediately returned to the counter to start brewing coffee. She brewed my favorite coffee with a technique that was no less impressive than that of the store manager, while I sat idly on the sofa, quite free aside from listening to the small sounds made during the brewing process. Bored, I casually turned on the classic radio placed nearby.

No matter how I tried to pass the time, it felt excessive. I glanced at the watch on my wrist, which indicated that it was 2 PM. I then stood up, preparing to leave. Yuu hurriedly followed me; her personality has always been to see every customer to the door, which can be considered a very dedicated service. As I opened the café door, I was astonished to see the thick white mist before me

However, I did not expect that such an ordinary small matter would bring me such great trouble

Although I must admit that I have become somewhat indifferent to the weather forecasts from the television station, witnessing such a stark contrast in the weather still leaves me somewhat speechless

Because I didn't check the weather forecast... who would have known there would be such heavy fog

I exhaled a puff of smoke and shrugged my shoulders

At this moment, Yuu no longer wore that pale and fragile expression; her eyes sparkled with a seductive light as she playfully stuck her tongue out at me. Just then, that guy's hand was suddenly seized by Yuu, and blood immediately gushed from his wrist. "Ahhh!" he stumbled back a few steps and raised his gun again

It's nothing, I was just passing by on my way home and saw Mr. Zhun's car parked by the roadside. I just wanted to come over and take a look

I finally managed to catch my breath and stand up, and the young girl smiled apologetically at me... Truly, one should not judge by appearances

The girl appeared relentless, looking as if she would not take a single step out of the park unless she caught the culprit today

Do you know? The police will be here shortly

It is getting dark, Miss. Let us conclude the detective game here. It is best for you to hurry home and get some sleep, as that is what a good child would do

This is truly damned

I am not speaking to you; I am speaking to her. Right, You.

As he spoke, the waiter had already brought the brewed coffee to my table

After listening to my words, the girl initially pouted in defiance, then sighed. When she raised her head again, the look of frustration that had been on her face had vanished.

It is really troublesome

Hello, the police have arrived. You can stop now

What are you being so difficult about? Even if Sherlock Holmes were to come, it would be impossible to solve the case in such a short time

Aside from the somewhat disordered gravel path underfoot due to a lack of maintenance, the park surprisingly appeared very tidy. I heard that this place used to be a gathering spot for delinquents, resulting in a chaotic environment, but it seems that is not the case anymore. However, there has been no management of the flowers, plants, and trees, allowing them to grow and develop freely.

What brings you here, You

It is not difficult to imagine that the expression on my face at this moment must be one of confusion

Hello, are you serious? You want to go to the murder scene to look for evidence? To be honest, I think that even if there was anything there, the police would have already cleaned it all up. There won't be any useful evidence left

Do not cause any fatalities; remember to act within the limits of human capability. Going too far is detrimental to both you and me, right? Miss Fox Spirit ... ...

The girl hiding behind me said in a somewhat trembling voice

Upon entering the café, I am immediately greeted by a wave of sweet aroma. Accompanied by the distinctive bitterness of coffee, it wafts through this small establishment, providing a remarkably comfortable sensation. The bright, soft yellow lighting combined with the deep brown tones creates a dreamlike atmosphere that remains strikingly intense. However, unlike before, I am not welcomed by the refined greetings of the usual shop owner, but rather by a gentle and melodious voice.

Youqing let out a sigh

Go to Dongye Park

I have read the witness's description in my sister's room, stating that it was a mentally unstable individual

Unfortunately, you are doomed

I hurriedly waved my hand, as it seemed this fellow's mind was not quite sharp

I did not think too carefully; I casually responded to her questions

The young girl took out a pair of white gloves from her bag and put them on her hands, then smiled at me with a sense of pride

Ah? But I have not yet found the crucial evidence

After I walked to my usual seat, I casually inquired. I was somewhat surprised that the coffee-loving fellow would leave this place.

May I ask what brings you here

I see...

I took a brief look at the weather; with such heavy fog, it is generally extremely dangerous for drivers to be on the road right now. However, for me, this kind of weather is merely a minor issue. This fog won't clear up anytime soon. I will drive around to see if I can pick up some business. You should also consider closing your shop early today to rest. With such thick fog, I fear even regular customers won't be coming in.

You misunderstood

What case is being solved

How long have you been driving a taxi

Three sounds, four sounds, five sounds. Five consecutive gunshots rang out, and both You and I merely stood there, motionless, gazing at the ugly creature before us. You smiled faintly, then tossed the bullet in hand to the ground. However, a bullet of that speed is truly too easy to catch.

It is truly boring

I quickened my pace while closing my eyes, searching for everything around me

Thinking of this, I drove my dilapidated taxi to a nearby parking lot. Normally, this place would be filled with vehicles and people queuing to park every weekend, but today it was unusually quiet; the vast parking lot had only my taxi. After locking the car door, I followed a familiar path and arrived at the entrance of the "Xiaoyue" café. This is a place I often come to pass the time when I am bored.

The manager's statement: Due to some matters that need to be handled back home, this store will be temporarily entrusted to me starting today

It was evident that she was very pleased. Could it really be possible for the police to be so foolish as to retreat without fully collecting the evidence at the scene? Just at that moment, footsteps appeared ahead of us. The two of us involuntarily stopped in our tracks. We exchanged glances, both recognizing the confusion in each other's hearts. At such a time, could there be anyone else coming to this desolate place where not even a ghostly shadow could be seen? Moreover, no matter how exaggerated it might be, it was unlikely to encounter two detective enthusiasts in a single day. At such a time, could there be anyone else coming to this desolate place where not even a ghostly shadow could be seen? Moreover, no matter how exaggerated it might be, it was unlikely to encounter two detective enthusiasts in a single day.

Although I do not understand why the boss chose to open this store in a narrow alley with virtually no foot traffic, for someone like me who does not enjoy crowds, it is indeed a very good choice

It turned out to be a hitchhiker, and I let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart. However, I was still a bit annoyed; if you want to hitch a ride, just do it without making such gestures, as it made me think a traffic officer was coming to trouble me. I started the car and began driving towards Dongye Park. At the same time, I glanced at the girl sitting in the passenger seat. She was still a child, probably around 16 or 17 years old. Her long black hair complemented her fair, round face, and she had a confident smile at the corner of her mouth. She must be the dream girl of many boys at school, but what puzzled me was, in this kind of weather, what was she doing at Dongye Park? Although it is located in the city, it is usually quite desolate, with no one to supervise it. It is a rather chaotic place, and considering that there was a murder case there a couple of days ago, most people would avoid it, let alone have the leisure to go there. This little girl really chose quite an extraordinary place. ... But grumbling aside, the main task of a taxi driver is to take passengers to their destination, and as for the rest ...

Just as I was about to leave this place with the girl, a gunshot suddenly made us stop in our tracks. Through the thick fog, following the path we had taken, another tall and imposing figure appeared. What terrible luck we had today; the man was holding a pistol, which he was now aiming at the three of us. "I never expected anyone to come to my territory; you really are lucky. I haven't killed anyone all day," he said, his mouth wide open, saliva dripping everywhere. If it weren't for the shiny black pistol in his hand, we would have thought he was just an ordinary madman. But the situation was different now; before we could react, he had already grabbed the nearest girl, Yao, and pressed the gun against her head.

As I pulled the car over to the side of the road following the instructions of that person, I pondered how I should explain myself. ... I’m sorry, officer, I didn’t check the weather forecast before leaving, so I had no idea there was such heavy fog ... or perhaps I was just driving out to visit someone and am now on my way home. Regardless, these are not the main issues; the main issue is that this is not a legitimate taxi. If scrutinized closely, it would definitely be exposed. Usually, hiding among a large number of identical taxis wouldn’t attract too much attention, but in this situation, I am a hundred percent target. Thinking about it, who would you check in this weather if not me?

Really, I haven't made much money today on www.hetushucom.com

I hope the criminal can be apprehended soon

The text provided does not contain any translatable content.

Yes, I understand.

The situation of amateur detectives solving cases only occurs in novels, animations, and movies; otherwise, how would those police officers, who are funded by taxpayers, ensure our safety? However, it is evident that my assumptions about the girl's determination were somewhat off. Two more hours have passed, and I have already accumulated three or four cigarette butts beside me, yet it seems that the girl has not come out. Perhaps she left from the other side. But I always feel that things are not that simple. It is evident that my assumptions about the girl's determination were somewhat off. Two more hours have passed, and I have already accumulated three or four cigarette butts beside me, yet it seems that the girl has not come out. Perhaps she left from the other side. But I always feel that things are not that simple

Today, another murder case occurred in this city. The perpetrator used a small knife to sever the victim's carotid artery, resulting in excessive bleeding and death. This marks the fourth murder case in the city with the same modus operandi, and relevant authorities are currently...

It is Xiao You

Without paying any attention to the gun barrel of that black hole, I took a cigarette out of my pocket and lit it up

Yuu regretfully set down the body in his hands, which was hardly distinguishable from a rag, and then quickly disappeared into the thick fog. It seemed that the guy's limbs had already been broken, and due to the excessive torment inflicted by Yuu, he was unable to even let out a scream. However, this was not the time to dwell on such matters; I did not wait for the girl to return, but instead dragged the guy to the roadside and set him down. I then started the car and swiftly left the area.

Ah ha

Is that person really the serial killer

It has been about twenty years

Where is the store manager

A girl dressed in the unique maid outfit that the café takes pride in approached me and bowed deeply. She is Asakawa Yuu, a foreign student working here. Although she is said to be a foreign student, it seems to me that aside from spending all day in the café, she has not engaged in anything related to her studies abroad. With her petite figure, large bright eyes, and a respectful demeanor that is quite rare among modern young people, she would surely become a signature presence in a bustling café back home. Unfortunately, it feels somewhat wasted in this little-known establishment.

No, no, no ... ...

If it is so difficult for Mr. Zhun, then I will treat you to this cup of coffee today

She is fine. Just follow this road straight ahead; there is a public phone behind the rockery. You can just go there to make the call. I will negotiate with him; this guy is not so easily able to kill the hostage.

The scene of the park vividly emerged in my mind. As I walked along the tree-lined path to the edge of the pond, I noticed a girl intently studying something with a magnifying glass in her hand. She seemed exceptionally focused on her observation, so much so that she did not even notice my approach. With no other option, I walked up behind her and gently tapped her shoulder. "Hey." Just as I was about to react, my hand was suddenly grabbed by the girl, and in the next moment, I felt the world spin around me before I was forcefully thrown to the ground. "Ouch... are you trying to kill me!" The pain in my back made me involuntarily let out a groan, and it seemed that the girl finally recognized me, quickly extending her hand.

Hello, this is not a joke, is it? If the manager is not here, why not just close the shop for a few days? Leaving it in the care of a child, what if something goes wrong? It is important to know that the main reason this coffee shop barely survives in such a highly competitive and expensive area is the manager's coffee-making skills, which can be considered an art form. Although the number of customers may not be large, we have always been a very loyal clientele. Now that it has been entrusted to You, I am somewhat worried.

Miss, do not casually give me a good person card; I have no desire to be a good person. However, during your time here, have you found any evidence

Faced with my words, the girl showed no signs of discouragement. It seemed she was the type of person who would persist once she had set her goal, though it could also be a simple stubbornness. A detective novel enthusiast arriving at a murder scene in such weather to search for possible leftover evidence seemed, to be honest, quite fanciful. However, before I could say anything further, the rusty iron gate of East Asia Park appeared before us. I parked the car at the entrance, she opened the door and got out, then waved at me before walking into the thick fog. Her every movement exuded elegance and tranquility, yet it was undeniable that her personality was somewhat peculiar. I did not drive away but remained at the park entrance, thinking that this little girl playing detective was merely a product of her own romantic imagination. It was akin to how girls idolize the beautiful and romantic legends of vampires; yet, if one were to actually see a vampire tearing open the throat of its prey to drink blood, it would be quite rare to not scream or run away. Thus, this detective game was no different; I believed that this little girl would soon emerge looking dejected, not staying inside for too long. If there was no car to pick her up at that time, it would be troublesome. While I praised myself internally for my 'excellent service,' I took out a cigarette and lit it.

As usual

Do not move, otherwise I will kill her

"Hey," I whispered softly to the girl in a voice that the guy couldn't hear. "I'll drag him out, you go call the police."

You are truly a good person

What surprised me, however, was that the person simply opened the car door and then sat down in the passenger seat

Hello

The density of the fog is aptly described as being so thick that one cannot see their own hand, and this is by no means an exaggeration. I arrived at the parking lot almost half relying on memory and half by groping my way. I opened the car door and slipped inside before the thick fog had a chance to invade. I attempted to turn on the fog lights, but they only allowed me to barely discern a small portion of the road ahead. ... This should be considered a ban on movement now ... . ... I drove the car out of the parking lot, slowly making my way along the commercial street. I attempted to turn on the fog lights again, but they only allowed me to barely discern a small portion of the road ahead. ... This should be considered a ban on movement now ... . ... I drove the car out of the parking lot, slowly making my way along the commercial street. The street, which had been lifeless even before the fog, now felt even more uncomfortable with the thick mist enveloping it. I could hardly see the lights of the shops on either side that usually indicated the presence of people; to be honest, this feeling was quite unpleasant. Just as I reached the intersection, someone suddenly waved at me from the front and then gestured for me to pull over to the side of the road.

I had only thrown half of the cigarette on the ground. The elegant and demure Yu before me was no longer the same; a pair of fluffy ears on her head were swaying from side to side, and the nine long tails behind her began to sway as well. "Really, those who disrupt the coffee shop's business should not go unpunished." I merely watched coldly as all this unfolded. The disparity between our powers and those of humans was indeed vast; a careless mistake could lead to an undesired tragedy. The girl had not returned yet, and my senses detected no signs of life in the vicinity. "Really, those who disrupt the coffee shop's business should not go unpunished." I merely watched coldly as all this unfolded. The disparity between our powers and those of humans was indeed vast; a careless mistake could lead to an undesired tragedy. The girl had not returned yet, and my senses detected no signs of life in the vicinity. Just as I was about to finish the cigarette in my hand, I heard a faint siren in the distance

However, this situation is truly troublesome... If it continues like this, it will be very difficult for the coffee shop to sustain itself

Very well, a straightforward personality is what makes a good child. I turned around and began to walk back the way I came, with the girl closely following behind me, but she was not merely walking. It seemed that her mouth could never be idle.

However, if we make a move, that young lady will...

I cautiously turned at an intersection, and the fog seemed to be thickening. In this case, both the airport and the train station would likely cease operations. It has been many years since I have seen such dense fog, and under these circumstances, it is indeed quite troublesome. I turned on the radio, and after a cacophony of noise, the voice of the news broadcaster echoed in this confined space

Perhaps it was due to sheer boredom that the girl suddenly started talking to me

What kind of coffee would you like to taste today

Of course, it is the recent series of murders that have occurred

What is going on? The weather forecast did not report any fog for today

If possible, Mr. Zhun may sit for a while longer

I want to solve the case

You said behind me

In any case, we must show him a bit of color. Mr. Zhun, what do you think

I apologize, I apologize... I thought you were the criminal...

My point is, do not kill anyone, to avoid trouble later on

Indeed, it can be considered a modest gain

I reached out and turned off the radio. "It's precisely because of this that it makes people anxious, causing me to be unable to even come up with the fare."

Even in the perception of thick fog, I can still detect a faint trace of blood in this fresh air. My instincts tell me that this place is not suitable for a prolonged stay

I also hold a qualification certificate as an assistant barista

Miss, with such heavy fog, what are you going to that ghostly place for

It was as if she sensed my inner thoughts; a hint of dissatisfaction crept into her tone. However, it was fleeting, and a gentle smile returned to her face

So what? Do you think I will let you go? I have already killed so many people, I am not afraid to kill a few more! If the police come, I will kill them all too

Do not joke around; at this time, you should pay more attention to the store. It would not be good if something were to happen, not to mention...

I understand

I took a sip of the coffee; although it still fell short compared to what the owner makes, it possessed a unique delicacy characteristic of women. It seems that even with a temporary change in the shopkeeper, we will not feel bored.

Ah, because of such heavy fog, I have nowhere to go

Today, a thick fog suddenly descended upon the city, resulting in extremely low visibility. All airport and transportation facilities have been suspended. Many passengers are stranded at the platforms. Three consecutive traffic accidents have occurred on the western section of the highway, resulting in four injuries. The transportation department reminds everyone

I complained as I got out of the car, and after locking the door, I walked into the park

The silhouette gradually became clearer, and when I finally saw the true form of this figure, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief

That is also true, then let's go back

Damn it, of all times, I have a feeling now

Looking at my withered wallet, I can't help but feel a bit gloomy... Every day, I work tirelessly driving and picking up passengers, yet after deducting the fuel costs and rent for my house, why is my wallet always so depleted...

I merely offered a casual response, fully aware of her intentions for being there. However, in front of outsiders, such matters cannot be openly discussed. Thus, I simply greeted her casually and then prepared to withdraw

Why drive in such foggy weather

Trees ... ... large trees. ... ... ... stone bricks ... ... neatly arranged path ... ...

You, you bastards, go die!
