"Although in Xingqiu's view, this is a story with no beginning and no end, but if you read it together with the previous one..."
"Reading consecutively?" Paimon hadn't tried this before, "Let me see."
"Cuiguang lost Kuizhiweng's poem because he fell asleep drunk...Kuizhiweng took his poem and gave it to a mysterious person..."
When he said this, Paimon suddenly thought of something, his pupils dilated slightly, "Huh? Wait a minute! Could it be..."
"Today's story is suggesting to us that the criminal who stole the new issue of "Shen Qiu Picking up Swords" is Xingqiu?!"
"But how is that possible?"
"Didn't Xingqiu arrive at Daozao just this morning?"
Paimon's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it.
"Can the work of a scholar be called stealing?"
"Isn't Paimon quite clever?"
"Shocked! Self-stealing? Stealing your own book?"
Abedo explained slowly: "Actually, this is exactly what is suspicious."
"Since Yukiaki has just arrived at Inazuma, how does he know how the ochazuke at Shimuraya tastes?"
"And..." Abedo talked about a small trap he deliberately set in his words just now, "When I decided to change the location because of the strong wind, he didn't ask any questions, obviously knowing that Shimura House is an open-air shop. "
Hearing what Abedo said, the audience was very surprised. They didn't expect that there was a mystery hidden in the conversation where Abedo invited him to dinner.
"Good guy, you are indeed the investigation captain, it's scary to quickly get rid of it after you have a little doubt~"
"And Qiuqiu exposed herself so easily because she was too sleepy hahaha~"
"Classic cracking of the alibi."
Paimon was also a little suspicious at this time, "You mean that Xingqiu has actually been staying at Dao's wife for a while, but deliberately pretended to have just arrived?"
Abedo nodded, "Yes, I think so."
Although Paimon believed it somewhat, he still couldn't understand why Xing Qiu would do such a thing, "How could Xing Qiu be a criminal? His dream is to be a chivalrous hero, and he will never do anything against morality!"
"Don't worry, Paimon." Abedo reassured: "Xingqiu and I have been exchanging letters, so we also know his character. I think there is probably something hidden in it."
"And this story also says that Aoi Zhiweng took the poem because he was threatened."
"Xingqiu won't be in any danger, right?" Paimon was a little worried.
"Congratulations to Shenzi for becoming the biggest behind-the-scenes man!"
"(If you don't do what I say...) (I'll do anything, please don't say it!)"
"But who would dare? Xingqiu looks for Chongyun, Chongyun looks for my aunt, my aunt looks for Zhenjun Liuyun, and Zhenjun Liuyun can find a lot of immortals."
Abedo stroked his chin and thought, "It's not clear yet, but Wuyou Pavilion is an indoor restaurant. If anyone can follow or eavesdrop, we will easily find out."
"It's safer to talk there. I hope you can cooperate with me later and find out the truth together."
Both Ying and Paimon nodded.
Afterwards, several people walked towards Wu Youting together.
There is no pavilion.
After Abedo arrived here, he casually observed the surrounding situation, "I haven't seen anyone suspicious for now, let's go to the store and wait for Xingqiu."
Paimon seemed a little nervous at this moment, "Well, what should I do? What are you going to talk to Xingqiu about later?"
Abedo said slowly: "First confirm whether Xingqiu really came to Dao's Wife in advance. If we can find conclusive evidence that he lied, we can use this as a breakthrough to persuade him to tell the truth."
"By the way, why don't you talk to the customers in the store before he comes? Maybe you can find some inspiration too?"
Entering Wuyou Pavilion, Ying and Paimeng first set their minds on the shopkeeper.
The owner of the shop, Okazaki Lutou, saw a new customer coming in, so he asked directly, "Do you guys want to eat something?"
When it comes to eating, Paimon naturally won't flinch, "Boss, do you have any recommended dishes today?"
"Of course it's the freshly caught seafood!" The owner suddenly became interested and said excitedly, "It rained a lot on the sea a few days ago, and many fishing boats didn't set sail, but this is only because the weather has improved today. "
Although he was very interested in the fresh seafood mentioned by the boss, Paimon still noticed a detail when he thought about what Abedo said just now, "The weather at sea was bad a few days ago?"
"That's right." The shopkeeper nodded, "Just now I heard a few guests from Liyue say that the boat swayed so badly that they couldn't do anything except sleep."
Hearing this, Pai Meng looked at Ying, "It seems to have some useful information!"
"Get a clue: it's raining heavily at sea."
"Going to the beach after the last chapter is really freaking thunderstorm weather."
"I have personally experienced that the more you sway on the sea, the more sound you sleep, just like a cradle."
"Summary of clues: You can't do anything at sea, you can only sleep, so reading is fake."
After talking with the shop owner, Ying and Paimon saw two customers chatting in the shop.
Youth in yellow clothes: "The last stage of the Rongcai Festival's new publication launch event, I am most looking forward to "Shen Qiu Picking up the Sword Record"!"
The young man in gray clothes next to him also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the author's signature edition released by @重量书阁 is very collectible, I must buy it!"
The young man in yellow continued: "The signature of Teacher Zhenyu I saw before is very neat. I feel that he will be a very serious person!"
The gray-clothed youth answered, "And he will also be there on the day of the sale. You should be able to see his appearance at that time. I heard that he is very young."
Hearing the dialogue between the two young people, the audience laughed.
""Handwriting is very neat"."
"Hearing this sentence, I can probably guess what's going on."
"Understood, because of the signature problem, you want to steal and resend it, hahaha?"
"As we all know, Xingqiu's handwriting is so ugly that it comes with encryption."
Even Paimon could tell something was wrong, "Wait, I heard that right, Xingqiu not only wants to sign the new issue, but also the previous handwriting is "very neat"?"
Ying and Paimeng looked at each other, both felt that this matter was very strange and outrageous, there must be something wrong.
Combined with the clue that the sea was very stormy and the boat was shaking just now, they have now obtained a lot of useful information.
Later, Ying and Paimon found Abedo with the clues they asked.
Chapter 336 Xingqiu who was fooled by Abedo
Paimon looked at Abedo and asked, "Abedo, do you have any ideas about the topic of the meeting?"
"I should talk to Xingqiu about the creation of novels and illustrations.".
Abedo said without hesitation, this is also the topic that he and Xing Qiu talked about the most in letters.
Abedo continued: "If he really has something to hide from us, he might be even more nervous than us."
"So discussing some light topics may let him relax his vigilance first."
"By the way." Speaking of this, Paimon suddenly remembered something, "Xingqiu said before that he wanted to thank you very much, and he was very grateful for being able to draw such exquisite illustrations in such a short time. "
"Hmm..." Abedo thought for a while, "This is very valuable information."
"I laughed so hard, I suddenly understood the truth hahaha~"
"Could this be Xingqiu (fog) disguised by Lihuahua?"
"It should be a ghostwriter, hahaha~"
Soon, Xingqiu also came to the Wuyou Pavilion, and everyone had a pleasant meal together, and chatted together after the meal.
"It's really delicious~" Xingqiu praised without hesitation: "Inaozuma's dishes are mainly fresh seafood, which suits my taste very much."
"That's good." Paimon tried to show a relaxed look as much as possible, and kept smiling: "We are also worried that you haven't slept well, so you will lose your appetite."
After talking with Xingqiu, Paimeng began to wink at Ying.
Ying thought for a while, then asked, "Xingqiu, what do you think of this journey?"
Xingqiu recalled his feelings during this time, and said: "Speaking of which, I have never traveled so far before, and I was quite excited at first, but if I stay at sea for a long time, it will be quite boring."
"Then along the way, is there anything that impressed you?" Paimon asked in a timely manner.
Xingqiu smiled, "It should be a novel I read on the boat, right?"
Ying and Abedo looked at each other.
After seeing Abedo nodding his head, Paimon continued to ask, "Then what books did you read during the trip?"
"A novel called "Please My Fox Immortal Palace Secretary" was sent to me by my editor." Xing Qiu replied in a ruthless way.
Paimon continued to ask, "Then you won't feel dizzy while reading on the boat?"
"Haha, I have practiced the Guhua School of Kungfu, so I don't feel much about it, but it seems that there are indeed many people on the boat who are seasick." Xing Qiu said with a smile, there was no flaw in his words, and he even dismissed Ying and Paimeng. Very doubtful points that were very suspicious before.
"How can a person who turns somersaults every day get seasick?"
"Indeed, every skill has to flip."
"The main thing is the unity of the waist and the horse."
Paimon couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, as he asked this question, it seemed that not only did he not ask any questions, but Xing Qiu also raised a doubtful point.
Xingqiu seemed to feel that his words were flawless, so he relaxed a little, and even took the initiative to chat.
"To be honest, every day at sea is the same, there is no scenery, and everyone waits impatiently."
"So when we got close to Inazuma, everyone saw the shadow on the top of the mountain in the distance, so they all ran to the deck to see it."
Speaking of this, Xing Qiu shook his head, "It's a pity that the boat was too slow, it took another whole day from seeing the top of the mountain to landing."
Hearing this sentence, Abedo raised his eyebrows slightly.
It's just that for the stupid Paimon, he didn't notice it at all.
Paimon spread his hands, looked at Ying and whispered, "I always feel that there is nothing suspicious about Xingqiu's words."
"No." Ying said seriously, "Those words are suspicious."
After Ying's reminder, Paimeng also thought about it carefully, and then seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up, "Yes! If it took a whole day to reach the shore, when everyone sees the top of the mountain, the sea It should still be raining heavily!"
Seeing Paimon's eagerness to expose Xingqiu, Abedo, who was sitting next to him, reminded: "Collect some more evidence, and talk to him about creation."
"Conspiracy Out Loud."
"Xingqiu: I cooperate with your performance."
"From Qiuqiu's angle, why does he look like he wants to kill you?"
Pai Meng looked at Xing Qiu, "Xing Qiu, what do you think of your novel?"
Xingqiu shook his head, "Although it's interesting to read novels, it's a different matter when you actually start writing."
"The laying of the plot, the rhythm of the writing, everything is knowledge."
"And...even if the content you are creating is what you are interested in, it may not necessarily be able to express the effect you are satisfied with."
Xing Qiu spoke slowly.
"When I think about it, every word is perfect, and when I write it, every word is spicy, I really hammered it (covering my face)."
"I understand, it's really painful to write."
"The former Wenshou said that he spoke from the bottom of his heart, so now he has entered the factory hahaha~"
Abedo also agrees with what Xingqiu said, "I also feel the same way."
"Whether it's writing books or painting, or even alchemy, etc., once you study something seriously, there are very few times when you can really feel happy."
Seeing this, many viewers who are engaged in related occupations have a feeling of meeting a confidant.
Paimon's eyes moved back and forth between Abedo and Xingqiu a few times, and then continued to ask: "Xingqiu, what do you think of Abedo's illustrations..."
Speaking of this, Xing Qiu suddenly smiled, "Abedo, actually I have always wanted to thank you for being able to draw illustrations for my novels."
Xingqiu was a little embarrassed, "My novel didn't sell well when Liyue was in it, and I wasn't very confident in it either."
"But the illustrations you draw are all very delicately selected, perfectly conveying what I want to express."
"Thank you." Abedo said modestly, "However, I took a little risk for this illustration, and in fact, I have always been a little uneasy."
Abedo continued: "The illustrations of light novels have always been based on characters, but this time I drew other things in the last chapter..."
