When Jason turned around, the giant painting came into view.

As the curtains are drawn, the windows open.

This giant oil painting was just exposed to the sun.

The sunshine makes this painting more colorful.

However, Jason didn't pay attention to this.

He is more concerned about the content of the painting.

He remembered clearly that the previous painting was of three hunters returning from hunting with four or five hounds, looking dejected because of the scarcity of prey. But now it is basically unchanged.

But the look in the eyes of one of the hunters seemed to have changed.

When Jason examined it more carefully, there were also some subtle changes on the snow in the forest.

Rabbit footprints!

A string of rabbit tracks appeared next to the bushes.

Jason was certain that there were no such rabbit footprints just now.

And the hunter’s gaze!

It's also different.

The other person is staring at the rabbit’s footprints!

When did the change occur?

Jason stepped back and looked at the whole thing.

When he saw the open window and the sunlight, he suddenly understood.

Special paint?

Jason encountered similar paints when he was in the 'City That Never Sleeps'.

However, that pigment disappears when exposed to heat.

It was done by a group of 'scammers'.

Of course, in the end, these "scammers" became the laughing stock of the "City That Never Sleeps" after dinner.

Because they actually expect the borrowers in the 'city that never sleeps' to keep their promises.

"This is a secret pigment that appears according to air movement and sunlight... It was also left to Hui Lijing by Hui Lixiang!"

Jason's eyes followed the gaze of the hunter in the painting to the string of rabbit footprints, and then to the ceiling of this room.

There is no doubt that Hui Lijing left something for Hui Lixiang.

Because, except for Hui Lijing, it is impossible for anyone else to enter this room.

When Hui Lijing entered this room, her patience must have completely disappeared. Therefore, compared to the huge wealth that can be seen in the room, these things should be the top priority.

"What's wrong?"

Hui Lijing may be a poor detective, but she is still a detective after all.

Jason's series of actions made her discover the difference.

"What should be there?"

Jason looked at the ceiling and motioned to Hui Lijing.

Since Hui Lixiang left it to Hui Lijing, he thought that if he wanted to take the items down, he should at least obtain Hui Lijing's consent.

"I'll do it!"

Hui Lijing volunteered to move a chair in the room and stood on it.

Push the corner of the ceiling and it opens.

Hui Lijing reached in and took out a tightly wrapped bag.

It's said to be a cyst, but it's actually only about the size of a palm.

The outer layer is wrapped layer by layer with kraft oil paper, and then wrapped several layers with transparent tape, obviously to prevent moisture and mildew.

Undoubtedly, Huilixiang knew her sister well and had made "long-term preparations".

In other words, Hui Lijing was not prepared to discover this place 'once'.

It was a preparation to be discovered only after 'cleaning the house thoroughly'.

After all, who could expect more from a mercenary who dreamed of being a barista but became a detective?

Without using any scissors, Hui Lijing began to tear the package apart with her hands.

Stab!

The strong tape and kraft paper were torn apart in just a few clicks, revealing the small box inside.

The small box is like a small jewelry box.

After opening it, Hui Lijing looked disappointed.

Because there is no text information that can be directly seen.

All I have is a white business card and a photo.

Hui Lijing picked up the business card and read out loud unconsciously.

"Master Tongshou Temple?"

The female boss was obviously wondering why her sister would put such a business card so discreetly and secretly on the ceiling.

Jason narrowed his eyes!

Master Tongshou Temple!

This was the second time he heard this name or title.

The first time was from Ichiro Aijo, who said that it was the 'Master Toshouji' who gave him guidance and led him to the 'Mask X Machete X Meat' office.

But this time it was Hui Lijing’s missing sister who left the business card of ‘Master Tongshou Temple’.

Originally, Jason also divided the 'Aijo Ichiro's commission incident' and the 'Hui Lijing sister's disappearance incident' into two, and regarded them as his 'own' arrangements before his arrival.

However, now it seems that the two can be combined into one.

But this didn't make Jason feel happy.

It seems that more time is left, but in fact, more useful information is reduced.

and……

When everything pointed to this 'Master Tongshou Temple', Jason's already vigilant heart became even more cautious.

The other party was so impatient to lure him there, it was most likely a trap.

Even if it's not a trap, it still has some ulterior purpose.

"Do you know this guy?"

Looking at Jason's thoughtful look, Hui Lijing asked.

"I heard it once."

"Before, 'Aijo Ichiro' said that he came to me to exorcise demons after being instructed by the other party."

"Then...he died."

Jason replied.

This answer seemed a bit funny, but Hui Lijing frowned.

"With my detective intuition, there must be something wrong here!"

Hui Lijing said firmly.

Faced with such certainty, Jason almost rolled his eyes.

As a person, you can tell there is something wrong.

"Detectives talk about evidence, not intuition."

"You're not a psychic!"

Jason corrected.

When Jason finished speaking, Hui Lijing stared at Jason and looked at him again.

This kind of appraisal is different from the previous one about appearance.

It's a kind of observation that wants to see through a person's heart.

Unfortunately, what Hui Lijing saw was a tall, strong body and a rough and scary face.

After a full four or five seconds, the female boss spoke again.

"You're a detective too, right?"
