After leaving the slums, Dazai Osamu was going to bring Chiba Rihime back to the detective agency, and the next thing needed to be investigated by others.

"Are we going back now?" The girl asked in a daze.

"That's right, isn't the investigation over?" Osamu Dazai nodded calmly.

Qianye Liji: "..." Didn't I find anything!

Chiba Rihime's expression was too shocked, obviously she didn't find anything, Dazai Osamu couldn't help but wanted to laugh, so he reminded her.

"Oatmeal and milk from the kitchen."

The girl was still in a daze, what could be wrong with cereal and milk.

"Do you think it's appropriate for them to have cereal and milk for breakfast?" Osamu Dazai reminded again.

The girl thought for a while, and asked seriously, "Is there any problem? They are so poor, they must only eat oatmeal and milk."

Osamu Dazai was silent for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, tears came out of his eyes.

"Sorry sorry, I forgot to consider the common sense of Her Royal Highness."

Chiba Riji frowned and looked at him, a little unhappy. Although Osamu Dazai often called her His Highness the Princess jokingly, this time she felt ridiculed.

Osamu Dazai didn't mean to be sarcastic, but simply thought it was funny.

"Children in the slums can't afford cereal and milk. Although they can't afford it at all, for them living at the bottom, the money needs to be used in more important places."

"Mr. Dazai, you mean they are pretending to be poor?"

"It is, but this statement is not entirely correct. In addition, they should be a little richer than they appear, but they are definitely not as rich as you think."

"What does this mean? What does it have to do with Yumi's disappearance?"

Osamu Dazai showed a distressed expression. He was not used to taking the idiot out on a mission for the first time, so after thinking about it, he patiently guided the girl to think.

"You think about two questions first."

"First, since Yumi has money to support her younger siblings and even provides them with good food, why doesn't she let them dress better?"

"Second, Yumi has been missing for a month, why are there so many cereals and milk at home?"

Qianye Liji began to think, her delicate brows and eyes were wrinkled, and she looked super hard-working, and she gave the answer after a while.

"Because everyone is growing their bodies, eating is more important! As for milk and cereal, they may be bought on a big sale in the supermarket!"

The girl was a little excited as she spoke, trying to show that she knew a lot.

"I know that ordinary people's supermarkets will have that kind of big promotion, selling the backlog of supermarkets at low prices, and there will even be activities like buy one get one free."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Although the direction of the answer is completely wrong, it is inexplicably impossible to refute.

"Forget it, you'd better listen to my analysis." Osamu Dazai gave up and let Chiba Riji think for herself.

"The answer to the first question is that the slums are not safe, and it is better for the children to dress shabby in order not to show their wealth."

"Here comes another question, why don't they move out of the slums if they have the money."

"The answer to the second question is that Mei probably foresaw her own accident, so she prepared sufficient food for her younger brothers and sisters in advance."

"Now combined with the second question, then the reason why they don't move out of the slums is probably for safety."

"Although the slum is a chaotic place, it is also an extremely suitable place to hide. There is no surveillance equipment here, so it is not easy to be followed."

Chiba Rihime listened very carefully, and gave her own conclusion after listening, "That is to say, Yumi knew that something would happen to her, and because she didn't want to hurt her younger siblings, she hid everyone in a slum, and then she was taken away by bad guys."

"Well, this is almost the case, so the next investigation will be directed by Mei's work." Dazai Osamu continued to explain with a smile, "She is going to work outside, and her daily whereabouts should be able to be determined through the city surveillance. This needs to go back. Let a professional check it out."

"So that's the case." Chiba Riji nodded, and then praised without hesitation: "Mr. Dazai is really smart!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Princess, you are also very..." Osamu Dazai paused, "Beautiful."

Smart is really an understatement.

Qianye Riji didn't think much about it, and happily accepted the other party's compliment, and then mentioned another matter, "Mr. Dazai, I have figured out what to do with the land in the slum."

"What?" Dazai asked with a smile.

"I'm going to use it to build an orphanage! This way everyone can settle down." Chiba Liji replied with bright eyes.

"For the orphanage, that piece of land is too big." Dazai Osamu was not too surprised by this proposal.

"Then build a new school, just for the children to go to school." Qianye Liji felt that she was really smart, "This way the school is close to the orphanage, and the cost of picking them up every day can be saved."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

After being silent for a while, Osamu Dazai managed to understand the girl's brain circuit.

Chiba Riji needed a luxury car to go to school, so she took it for granted that the children in the slums also needed special cars.

"It's amazing to be able to raise people like this." Dazai Osamu sighed with emotion.

"Mr. Dazai, what are you talking about?" Chiba Riji didn't hear clearly.

"I said your idea is very powerful." Osamu Dazai encouraged him solemnly, "I support you, little Liji, come on."

"Yeah!" The girl nodded vigorously, and when she was about to turn around, she asked her old father to make arrangements.

The car drove slowly on the way back.

Qianye Liji reckoned that when she returned to the detective agency at this moment, the housekeeper should have delivered food at about the same time, and she happened to be a little hungry.

Just passing by the embankment at this moment, Osamu Dazai suddenly said, "Stop."

"What's wrong?" The girl looked at him suspiciously.

"Xiao Liji, don't you think it's beautiful?" Osamu Dazai pointed to the river outside the car window.

It was approaching noon, the sun was just right, and the wind was blowing, and the sparkling waves were extraordinarily bright and dazzling, which made people unable to help but be moved.

"Well, very pretty." The girl nodded approvingly.

Lida then parked the car beside the river embankment.

Just when Chiba Riji thought Dazai Osamu wanted to get out of the car to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the black-haired young man asked with a smile, "Your Highness, do you want to consider dying in love with me? It's a pity that such a beautiful river is not used to die in love."

Qianye Liji: "..." Huh?

After Osamu Dazai finished speaking, he opened the car door first and walked down, and the girl who was slow to react quickly got out of the car.

"Mr. Dazai, are you joking?"

"No, but I know Xiao Liji is definitely not willing, so I can only dance by myself."

Chiba Riji watched Dazai Osamu walk down the embankment in shock, looking like he was really about to jump into the river, and his mind was a little dazed.

"Mr. Dazai, do you want to swim?" the girl asked uncertainly.

"I can't swim." The black-haired young man smiled brightly, "I'm going to commit suicide, so Xiao Liji can go back to the detective agency by herself."

Qianye Liji: "..." Are you serious!

Qianye Liji was a little crazy, why did she talk about suicide as if she was going out for a walk, and why did she suddenly want to commit suicide when she was doing well!

Is this some new popular joke?

"Mr. Dazai, please don't play around..."

She couldn't finish her sentence, because Osamu Dazai had plunged into the river.

The girl stretched out her hand to grab the opponent without thinking, but her strength was too weak, not only failed to pull the opponent back, but let herself be pulled down.

The silver chains instantly condensed in the air, wrapping around her waist immediately.

Lida quickly pulled Qianye Riji up.

"Ahem!" Chiba Riji couldn't swim, and she choked on falling into the river unexpectedly, but she couldn't care about herself right now, "Hurry up and save Mr. Dazai."

It seems that Osamu Dazai really can't swim, and he disappeared after a string of bubbles appeared on the river surface.

"Yes, miss." Lida jumped into the river without hesitation.

Because of the disqualification in the human world, the chain will disappear the moment it touches Osamu Dazai, so she can only jump down to save people herself.

Two minutes later, Osamu Dazai was forcibly dragged ashore by Lida.

"Mr. Dazai, why are you really dancing!" Chiba Riji was really going crazy.

The girl looked a little embarrassed at the moment, her whole body was wet, and her long pink hair stuck to her body in strands.The skirt she was wearing today was light-colored, which caused some of the underwear inside to be exposed after the upper body was soaked.

Seeing this, Osamu Dazai took off his coat, and put it on the girl naturally, and he was in the mood to joke by the way.

"His Royal Highness is willing to die in love with me, I am so touched."

Qianye Riji: "..."

Qianye Riji didn't like such jokes. After looking at the other party for a while, she asked angrily: "Mr. Dazai, you can't swim and you jumped into the river. What if something happened?"

The girl's expression was super serious, but she couldn't stand her sweet appearance, and even had a little baby fat on her face, which made her look rather cute.

There is a sense of déjà vu that the little hamster is angry.

A smile flashed across Dazai Osamu's kite-colored eyes, and then he asked solemnly, "Xiao Liji, you drag me even though you can't swim, what if something really happened?"

Obviously just give Lida an order.

The girl's eyes widened in shock, how could this man beat him up!

"Hahaha~ Your Highness is so cute." Osamu Dazai finally couldn't help laughing, and poked the girl's angry cheek with his hand.

"How could you do this!" Qianye Liji was very angry.

"I'm so hungry, it's time to go back to have lunch." Dazai Osamu forcibly changed the subject, and pushed the girl's shoulder to walk towards the embankment.

"Mr. Dazai, don't change the subject!"

"What's for lunch today? Are there any crabs?"

"No, today is eel rice, I told you not to change the subject!"

"I want to eat crabs."

"Mr. Dazai, if you want to eat, you can ask the chef to make it for you."

"Ah, will it be too much trouble?"

"No, I'll call Zhong Chuan now, and it should be delivered soon."

Lida silently followed behind the two, wanting to complain about something, but didn't know where to start complaining.
