Chapter 139 Hotel
Chapter 139 Hotel
Seeing that he had guessed her identity without any surprise, the woman with the knife asked calmly: “So… Mr. Walter, what did they say about me?”
Walter looked at the woman in front of him carefully, and after confirming that she was different from the person in his memory, he slowly opened his mouth and answered her question.
"Some of them claim that... you are the real murderer of this serial murder case. Just like the two recent murders, the members of the Anmie Gang who came to the banquet also died tragically at your hands."
"And you're also planning to stir up a bloody storm in Pinocchio."
A strange color flashed in the eyes of the woman holding the knife, and she shook her head helplessly.
But then she seemed to realize something and asked in confusion, "What is the Annihilation Gang?"
Seeing her puzzled expression, Walter slowly explained: "Afrit of the Everfire Residence."
Hearing this name, the knife-wielding woman recalled some things that happened not long ago, and suddenly realized: "So it was that Grand Duke..."
"It seems that Miss Huang Quan has remembered?"
Ignoring the alertness in the man's eyes, the knife-wielding woman said calmly, "Yes, I remember now. Although the Grand Duke was a villain, we cannot discredit him by saying he died a tragic death."
"In his final moments, he turned his dying body into flames and sacrificed himself for the cause. He... was a determined and heroic man."
Speaking of the knife-wielding woman, the subject suddenly changed.
"Although I was indeed responsible for the destruction of the Annihilation Gang, there were many suspicious people invited to this event. Why are you sure that I was the one who committed the murder?"
"And do they really think... a long sword is more dangerous than the 'black hole' in your hand?"
Seeing that the woman named Huang Quan pointed out his hidden means, Walter frowned slightly.
"… a very sharp intuition. Even the family could not figure out the true identity of this cane."
"So, Miss Huang Quan, you should also know that peering into a black hole is not a wise move. As a potentially dangerous person, you already know us to an uncomfortable degree."
At this point, the red and black cane in Walter's hand began to gather strength...
"So... Miss Huang Quan, please reveal your true identity and state your purpose. Otherwise, for their safety, I have to ask you to prepare to be torn apart by gravity."
Seeing his performance, the woman holding the knife slowly shook her head. "Mr. Walter, you don't have to test me anymore."
"He should have told you about me. You should believe what he said... I am not the real murderer. And please believe... I will not attack the Star Train, let alone him."
Hearing her mention Jiang Chen, the power gathered in Walter's hand slowly dissipated. He pushed his glasses and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Huang Quan, for their safety, I need to confirm it in person. I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay. I understand. After all, you are doing this for the safety of the pioneers..."
"Pioneer and Miss March...are they okay? Didn't the Rememberer do anything to them?"
Thinking of the two lively little ones, Walter shook his head helplessly. "They are fine, you should have seen it just now..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about them for now. Miss Huang Quan, I want to know your purpose."
"Whether you can gain my trust depends on how much you are willing to reveal, Miss Huang Quan."
Seeing that his expression had become serious again, Huang Quan shook his head slightly. "My purpose? It's simple... I came here for the 'Watchmaker's Legacy'."
A trace of doubt flashed in Walter's eyes, and he asked curiously: "Are you also doing this for the inheritance? Logically speaking, at your level, you shouldn't be doing this for the illusory inheritance..."
"Mr. Walter, you are right, but also wrong. I did come here for the inheritance, but not for myself... to fulfill... a long-standing wish..."
"In short, my purpose is that simple."
"Then why did you find the Star Train?"
"Why? Because of the inheritance. In order to find the inheritance, I visited various dreams after moving into Pinocchio and conducted many investigations in secret."
"With so many clues, I gradually realized that the secret of Pinocchio might be closely related to the past 'development'."
"That's why I came here to seek your help. Although I don't have definite evidence now, I still want to propose a possibility: the source of all tragedies is lurking in the family."
"So...if you are willing to trust me, we can work together to find the facts to prove it."
After staring at the woman in front of him for a long time, seeing that she looked calm and didn't seem to be deceiving, Walter nodded slowly. "... Let's stop here, Miss Huang Quan. I believe for the time being that you have no hostility."
"Afterwards... share your findings with me. It's just you and me. Before we find solid evidence, I don't want to interfere with other people's judgment with ambiguous speculations."
"Okay. But before that... I want to buy a few glasses of 'Awakening from a Dream'..."
"..."
Inside the hotel, Jiang Chen looked through the window at a man and a woman walking away, smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Alas, when these two people get together, I wonder if they are from the same hometown and their eyes are filled with tears..."
The girl who was looking for a change of clothes turned her head in confusion and asked curiously, "Huh? What are you mumbling about, bad guy? What fellow villager? What tears?"
Hearing his girlfriend's voice, Jiang Chen turned his gaze back from the window. Then... his computer crashed again...
At this time, March had turned around and continued to look for a change of clothes.
In her arms, she was holding a light blue nightgown, and underneath it was a faint hint of blue and white…
[Blue…blue…blue and white stripes! Classic! So classic!]
[But…when did you buy it in March? I remember there was no such style before…]
[By the way, she went shopping with Himeko at the "Twilight Hour" last time. Could it be... that this was actually a premeditated plan...]
[Hiss~ It's really scary when you think about it! My March-month wife, my March-month wife, it seems that I really underestimated you before. Next... I won't let you off any more...]
While he was full of fighting spirit, another question involuntarily arose in Jiang Chen's mind.
[March...how did she know that I like this one? ]
[This nightgown...this panties...all stuck on my XP. ]
[March, what does she want to do? ]
[I don’t really want to…]
【Become a pioneer wife now! 】
[If she tries to seduce me later, should I hold on for a few seconds and then half-heartedly agree to her request?]
[Hehe, I didn’t expect that the innocent and lovely Miss March would actually do this for me…]
Just as he thought about it more and more outrageous and indescribable.
I didn't notice... At this moment, the girl who was squatting in front of the suitcase, holding her clothes, had an intriguing... smirk on her face.
