When Xu Ming saw that his sister seemed to want to leave, he stood up in a hurry and grabbed her hand.

"Sister... can you not go..."

Shi Yu smiled softly, hugged Xu Ming gently, and leaned closer to his ear.

"I've always been by your side..."

Xu Ming was in a deep sleep when he was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone. He picked it up and saw that there was Kato Megumi's number on it.

"Hey?"

Xu Ming pressed the call button with some doubts.

"Ming, I have some good news for you..."

Kato Megumi paused for a while, then continued:

"I think I might know where that paintbrush is."

Xu Ming sat up from the bed at once.

"where?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, that brush is still in Japan."

"You didn't say that the paintbrush was left at Shigemitsu Katsuichi's house, did you?"

Xu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, no one will take antiques with them on business trips or travel.

However, Megumi Kato gave an answer that was beyond Xu Ming's expectations.

"No, he has probably given away the paintbrush."

"What, so fast!?"

Xu Ming said in astonishment.

The store manager Mota said that Katsuichi Shigemitsu only bought the brush two days ago.

Since the store manager Mota has already told him the name of the customer, there is no need to lie about the date.

Excluding yesterday means that the paintbrush was given away in less than a day in the hands of Chong Guangsheng.

This is an antique, not a signature pen worth tens of yen, which can be thrown away after use.

Unless...he planned to buy it as a gift from the beginning!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Ming's mind, and he blurted out.

"Who did you give it to?"

Kato Megumi did not answer his question directly, but instead talked about seemingly unrelated topics.

"Do you know why Shigemitsu Katsuichi went to England?"

"why?"

"Katsuichi Shigemitsu signed a supply contract with the Armstrong Shipyard in the UK. He has completed all the procedures and certifications from the Japanese side, but he is still short of the British side.

At present, the only ones who are still stationed in Japan and can talk to the British customs are..."

"Mr. Stewart!?"

Xu Ming suddenly realized.

"Yes, Diplomat to Japan, Stuart Leonard Spencer Churchill."

"But why did he send the paintbrush?"

"I guess Shigemitsu may not have been given to Stewart himself.

He may have found out from somewhere that Stuart's daughter loves painting, and that Stuart dotes on his only daughter very much, so he wanted to get in touch with Stuart. "

Although it was a bit confusing, Xu Ming clarified the relationship in an instant.

Shigemitsu Katsuichi wanted to please Stuart, so he gave a precious antique paintbrush to the other's daughter...

"So, that paintbrush is in Yinglili's hands now?"

Xu Ming couldn't help showing an extremely strange look on his face.

"That's right~"

Kato Megumi couldn't help laughing as he said that.

The whole thing came full circle, as if back to square one.

"I see, I'll go to Ying Lili to confirm this now."

"Then I'm counting on you..."

Kato Megumi paused for a while, then exhorted:

"Ming, please be careful. If necessary, please give up immediately. The association will send experts to deal with this matter."

"Don't worry, I cherish my life very much."

Xu Ming got dressed, washed, and was about to go out.

At this time, the door of my sister's bedroom suddenly opened, and the silver-haired Erina was wearing only a loose shirt, rubbing her eyes and looking at him sleepily.

"Dad, Dad... Wake up, it's so early, I'll make you breakfast right away."

Xu Ming walked over and patted her head.

"No, you go back and rest, I have something to go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

"Oh~"

Erina nodded obediently, then returned to the room with a wobble.

Xu Ming couldn't help laughing. Looking at it this way, it was as if he really had an extra daughter.

However, no one would refuse a gentle, considerate, innocent, and understanding daughter.

And Xu Ming could tell that his sister seemed to like her a lot.

In the living room, the little piggy is still calling the wind and calling the rain in the Summoner's Canyon, killing all directions.

A few days ago, Xu Ming happened to see that Little Piggy had already reached the top 3 in the ranking of Japanese server kings, and even a professional team had contacted him, hoping that he could go to trial training.

The trial training was naturally rejected.

However, Little Piggy seems to feel that frying fish in the fish pond of the Japanese server is not exciting enough, so he is currently practicing the first zone of the Chinese server and the accounts of the Korean server at the same time.

Xu Ming's mood was extremely complicated when he saw the little piggy killing the player on the opposite side with two short trotters.

There is a saying: You never know whether the person sitting across the Internet is a man or a woman, a human or a pig.

As usual, he burned incense in front of his sister's posthumous photo, and Xu Ming opened the door and walked out.

Xu Ming first went to the Lawson convenience store downstairs and bought two rice balls. After eating them in two or three bites, he went outside the hotel where Aoyama Nanami and Shiina Mashiro lived.

Looking at the phone, the time is now 7:30. It is estimated that the two girls are still sleeping. Going up and knocking on the door rashly may cause trouble to them, so Xu Ming directly dialed Qingshan Qihai's mobile phone.

After a pleasant ringtone, the phone was connected.

"Moshi moxi~!"

Qingshan Qihai's somewhat confused voice came from the microphone, it sounded like he was not awake.

"It's me, Xu Ming."

Hearing that it was Xu Ming, Qingshan Qihai on the other end of the phone was shocked immediately.

"Xu Mingjun! How is it? Is there a solution to that matter? Zhenbai came back last night and said that he would have to wait for two more days. I..."

It can be heard that Qingshan Qihai's voice is very anxious, obviously she is very concerned about this matter.

That's right, it's a newly bought house after all.

"I've already found the clues. Now get Zhenbai ready and come down. I'll wait for her in the hotel lobby."

Xu Ming didn't talk too much, and urged directly.

"Okay, I'll let her freshen up right away!"

Fifteen minutes later, the sleepy Shiina Mashiro was helped down by Aoyama Nanami.

Obviously, this girl stayed up late at night.

It's just that Xu Ming is a little strange, why she doesn't have dark circles under her eyes after staying up late, is it really a two-dimensional beautiful girl who is born beautiful.

Seeing that the person had already come down, Xu Ming put aside his distracting thoughts, hurriedly half-supported Shiina Mashiro, and then called a taxi.

His current card balance has exceeded one billion yen, and he will naturally not be stingy with the money he should spend.

The two quickly took a taxi to the residence of diplomats stationed in Japan in Minato.

Xu Ming immediately rang the doorbell.

Soon the visual screen at the door lights up, and a maid appears in the picture.

Xu Ming briefly explained the purpose of his visit, and the maid showed a look of surprise on her face, and hurriedly asked Xu Ming to wait.

After a while, after reporting to the master's house, the maid opened the door, invited Xu Ming and Shiina Mashiro in, and brought them to the living room.

When Xu Ming saw diplomat Stewart and his wife Sayuri Sawamura again, the couple were having breakfast.

The couple were very surprised by Xu Ming's arrival.Xu Ming explained the reason for his visit, and the couple's expression changed instantly, and they quickly called a maid to wake Ying Lili up.

After a while, the maid rushed into the restaurant in a panic.

"Master! Ma'am! It's not good! Miss! Something happened to Miss!"

"what!?"

Stuart stood up from the dining table in a flash.

Soon everyone came to Ying Lili's room, but found that although Ying Lili was still breathing in bed, she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed.

Faced with this situation, Xu Ming only thought of one possibility...

"Honey, what should we do!? Ambulance! That's right! Call the emergency number!"
