Late at night, only Zhongyuan.

The proprietress stood in her room, reached out and tapped the mirror lightly.

There is only the proprietress in Zhongyuan, but no boss, so no matter what kind of work, it is basically solved by the proprietress.Fortunately, the proprietress has mastered all aspects of personnel management and capital operation through learning, and even the tricky social communication, she has become proficient in dancing through what she has seen and heard when she was an oiran.

Therefore, the proprietress was the only one in her room.

The sound of knuckles touching the mirror was very clear in the empty room except the proprietress. The proprietress pondered for a while, lit a candle, and placed it in front of the mirror.

That was the signal she had agreed with her daughter Zemei—if Zemei entered the world in the mirror and wanted to call her out, she only needed to tap the mirror lightly and light a light in front of the mirror. Dim candles.

Soon, the mirror reflecting the landlady's own figure changed.

Ripples like water waves rippled in the mirror, spreading from the center of the mirror to the edge, and the figure of the proprietress reflected in the mirror also changed with the ripples.

Her figure became smaller and shorter, her face became childish, and even her hairstyle changed.

What appeared in the mirror was a girl who didn't look similar to her, except for a pair of ears that were almost identical, only of different sizes.

That's Zemi.

Zemei smiled and stretched out her hand in the mirror, and pressed the corresponding position of the landlady's hand on the mirror.

The wind was blowing through the open windows.

The candle which the proprietress had placed before the mirror flicked for a moment, and then went out.

A wisp of blue smoke floated from the candle head where the candle flame had disappeared.

"Zemei, stop." Zhi Zhongyuan's proprietress ignored the weird atmosphere in the whole room, she still pressed her hand on the mirror, and kept overlapping with Zemei's hand, as if she could feel her daughter's body temperature like that Generally, "Everything is my fault—I shouldn't have awakened such a selfish superhuman ability from the very beginning."

There have been many strange talks about mirrors since ancient times, but only Zemei, who has really entered the mirror because of the awakening of supernatural powers, knows that the world in the mirror is a silent, silent, and hopeless world.

Therefore, she made an agreement with her mother that if she wants to find her in the mirror world, she does not need too bright lights or LED desk lamps.

Her mother only needs to tap the mirror with her fingers, and then place a lighted, dimly lit candle in front of the mirror, and she can find the mirror in front of her mother among the many mirrors with strong light.

Because [only when the mirror is tapped, there will be sound in the world in the mirror], Zemei only told her mother.

Zemei stood in the mirror looking at her, at her mother, without saying a word for a while.

There are two completely different worlds inside the mirror and outside the mirror. The voice of the proprietress cannot reach her ears, nor can what Zemei wants to say reach the ears of the proprietress.

Neither the proprietress nor Zemei can read lips, so at this time, it is natural that neither of them knows what the other is thinking.

Zemei stretched out her hand, gently pressed the mirror, and touched the face of the proprietress reflected in the mirror.Then she withdrew her hand and took two steps back into the mirror.

"Aniang, don't worry." She promised softly, "As long as you change the face of sister Zhizi, you will definitely be able to become the oiran again."

"At that time, you don't have to worry about Zhongyuan's reputation anymore. It's actually a meal."

Zemei stood in the dark mirror world, looking at the dim exit covered only by hazy moonlight.

She closed her eyes, turned her head and ran towards another mirror that reflected the street lights.

The man with the copper-colored hair was too difficult to solve. Not only was he lucky enough to escape all her attacks, but even the channel to attack from the blacked-out mobile phone screen was blocked by the other party by pressing the bright screen——

A mirror that cannot reflect a human figure is certainly not a mirror, and it cannot be used as a medium for Zemei to attack from the mirror.

Because Zemei's supernatural ability is [Mirror Princess] that allows her to walk between mirrors and superimpose her own attack ability with multiple reflections.

Of course, the proprietress did not receive a reply from her daughter.

The water-like ripples in the mirror opposite her rippled away again, layers of reflection made her close her eyes involuntarily.However, when the proprietress opened her eyes to look again, she realized that Zemei in the mirror had disappeared—there was only her own shadow in the mirror in front of her, looking at herself sadly.

Zemi left.

Of course the proprietress knew this.

She gave a long sigh and stretched out her right hand.

Under the moonlight, her well-maintained hands became dry and wrinkled, covered with dark brown age spots and raised blue veins.

The proprietress's stature became shorter, she had to hunched over, staggered two steps, and slowly sat down on the tatami in the room.

She is not actually Kui Ji, but she did become an oiran under the name of [Kui Ji].

"This is retribution." The proprietress shed tears. She looked at her old hands and wept uncontrollably. "Why did I awaken such abilities? What was I thinking..."

Her whole body has become very old, except for her pink, white and moist face, which still looks like she is in her 20s.

The smell of something rotten emanated from that face, and then under the blowing of the night wind, it turned into a sweet smell so strong that it almost made you want to vomit.

On the low table in front of the proprietress, a white porcelain bottle suddenly appeared.

"The proprietress is actually not Kuihime." Ranpo Edogawa saw that Atsushi Nakajima was still a little puzzled, and he really had no patience to wait, so he finally said, "The information collected by Mr. Hat is actually from other flower pavilions in the flower street. False, overly exaggerated false news."

"The one who was disfigured was Kuihime, and it had nothing to do with the proprietress, and the one who became the oiran was the proprietress, and it had nothing to do with Kuihime..." Edogawa Ranpo paused at this point, "No, it has something to do with it -"

"Because when the proprietress became the oiran, she used Kui Ji's dough."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh where?" Osamu Dazai exclaimed with a drawn-out voice," the newspaper said, the case 15 years ago seems to be the story of the proprietress, right?"

"15 years ago, the two Furisode Shinzos in Gionne were both candidates for Oiran, but there was only one oiran. So Furisode Shinzo named Aoi Hime managed to destroy the other Furisode Shinzo, which is now the face of Gionne's proprietress , and wanted to send that Furisode Shinzo to Kiri Mishi." Edogawa Ranpo said lazily, "But on the night that Furisode Shinzo was sent to Kiri Mishi, she awakened her supernatural power. "

"If I'm not mistaken, her supernatural ability is similar to Granny Fen's incense powder." Osamu Dazai added, "It should be activated by the bottle containing the incense powder."

"In other words, the effect of this ability is [no matter what powder, as long as it is placed in the bottle that she used the ability, it will emit fragrance, and after using the powder several times, it will cause the face to fall off]. "Edogawa Ranpo said, "But this ability should be awakened by Furisode Shinzo after he was sent to see the world."

"That Miss Furisode Xinzao probably sneaked out of Kirihime, pretending to be an old lady who sells incense powder, and tried to swap her face with that of Aoihime." Osamu Dazai blinked, "After all, it's the same family. In Huage, there must be many people who also hate Kui Ji."

"So, before Aoihime became an oiran, she was no longer Aoihime, but a faceless proprietress." Edogawa Ranpo concluded, and he then pointed out the photo in the newspaper with the report to Atsushi Nakajima Look, "Look, the face of Kui Ji in this newspaper is exactly the same as that of the proprietress, but have you noticed her ears?"

"She doesn't have earlobes, but both Zemei and the proprietress have...so that's why—" Atsushi Nakajima suddenly realized, "Because the proprietress's ability can change the face, but there is no way to replace the ears at the same time!"

"That's it, Atsu-kun." Osamu Dazai snapped his fingers, "But, why did it take 15 years for her to start committing crimes again? She still did it to the girl in her flower pavilion."

"It's because of Huage's popularity." Atsushi Nakajima blinked, "I can feel that the Zemi who took me upstairs has ill will towards the guests who are dining downstairs."

"Wow, not bad Atsushi-kun." Osamu Dazai smiled and stretched out his hand to rua Nakajima Atsushi's hair, "He has a keen sense of emotional surprises!"

Atsushi Nakajima was embarrassed for a moment, not knowing what to say.

After all, after staying in the orphanage for so long, if he was not sensitive to emotions, he would be punished more often. He even felt that he might not be able to survive those severe corporal punishments.

"Okay, Dazai." Edogawa Ranpo curled his lips dissatisfied, "Zemi is an accomplice, and can even be said to be the mastermind of this incident. The proprietress can only be said to have provided props. So get things done quickly Let’s go—Master Ranpo, I’m hungry.”

Before Osamu Dazai could say anything, his cell phone rang.

It was a call from Sakunosuke Oda who left first because he was found.

Before Osamu Dazai answered the phone, Ranpo Edogawa laughed: "We found the mastermind's arrest method."

"Disappeared?" Zhong Yuan was stunned when he received the notification, "How did it disappear? What do your people do for food?!"

"The other party should be a person with supernatural powers, we can't catch it." The research institute reported with a sad face, "We adjusted the surveillance later and found that a hand stretched out directly from the glass and took away the white porcelain bottle. "

"Is it a supernatural power that can penetrate objects? Or a supernatural power that can walk in any solid?" Zhongyuan Zhong also looked serious, "Forget it... leave this matter to me, you go back first."

"Yes." The members of the research institute breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "But the test results came out—after testing in a bottle, the powder is indeed irritating to a certain extent."

"I see." Nakahara Chuya lowered his eyes, turned and walked towards Ozaki Koyo's office.

The members of the research institute went out from the office building of PortMafia headquarters after saluting Chuya Nakahara's back.

After finally standing downstairs, the member realized that his back was soaked.

Really worthy of being one of the five major cadres.He thought, such an aura is really frightening.

He took out his phone from his pocket, and just as he was about to tweet, he saw someone standing in front of him.

Mr. Researcher froze for a moment, raised his head slowly, and met a pair of smiling amber eyes.

"Did you come out after meeting?" The other party asked with a smile.

Mr. Researcher's hair stood on end, and his intuition told him that as long as he answered badly, he might not be able to go back tonight.

Finally, he decided to tell the truth to this unknown gentleman: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhongyuan asked us to test something."

"So, what is it?" There was still a hint of a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth.

"It's a bottle of incense powder!" The researcher confided everything with a strong desire to survive, "Mr. Zhongyuan seems to be investigating the case of Huajie recently. It seems that he found clues in the incense powder and commissioned our research institute to conduct testing!"

"Oh." The other party smacked his lips, "I see, let's go."

Mr. Researcher immediately scrambled away.He didn't even bother to tweet on the grounds that he had met the cadres of PortMafia. At this moment, his mind was full of the other party's laziness and smacking his lips, and he felt as if he saw some ghost who chose to eat people .

"Mr. Zhongyuan, I'm sorry." The researcher who returned home cried and wrapped himself in the quilt, "I don't want to die yet, woo woo woo."

The author has something to say:

Mr. Kunikida was completely ignored by Dazai, Ranpo, and Dundon (in fact, I forgot Kunikida while writing), so Mr. Kunikida became a tool person in charge of holding an umbrella and leading the way for Ranpo.

Dazai and Mr. Ranpo sang together and gave spoilers to Atsushi Nakajima. Atsushi Nakajima listened and expressed that he had learned and could still do this. I understand, it’s actually like this blablabla.

So in the future Dun Dun can spoil Akutagawa (dragged away by Rashomon).

So the old woman is the proprietress. The proprietress became the oiran with the name and face of [Kui Ji]. Every year there will be a random full moon night when the moonlight shines on it and she will become an old woman. The smell of the face powder is actually the one she used [ The smell of Kui Ji's face is just diluted many times.

Before this incident, the proprietress had not really attacked others for a long, long time. After she awakened her supernatural power 15 years ago because of despair and hatred, she only attacked Kui Ji, and she never did anything after that until Ze Mei grows up and has a mind of her own.

Zemei's method of doing it is also very simple. Every time the proprietress is forced to transform into an old woman on a full moon night, she will uncontrollably conjure up a bottle, and after more than ten years, she has a lot of inventory.Zemei directly replaced these bottles with the face powder on the dressing tables of the oirans and Furisode Shinzao.

Mr. Tachihara Michizo, a researcher who came to test the fragrance powder, was overwhelmed by Zhong Ye, who was jumping in anger because he felt that he was being tricked. He just wanted to tweet to calm his mood, but turned around and met the big devil.

You guessed it right, brother Shen is back! ! (If he doesn't come back, I will forget him)

Come let us interview him.

Xiao Zheng: Brother Shen, may I ask, what is it like to find out that your partner has a new love after you just came back from another world?

Brother Shen: Thank you for the invitation. I was at the entrance of the Ganghei Building. I just came back from the hunter’s side after shooting ants. I believe that Zhongye is insensitive to feelings, because as long as he doesn’t hit a straight ball, he will definitely not realize the other party’s feelings for him. So I am very relieved.I just need to kill (cross out) my new love before he can react.
