It was dark and the room was on with lights on. Lily ran around the living room with barefoot. Wherever she ran, the floor was spotlessly clean, and cute little footprints were made.

Qin Yun stood by the window, looking at the dim path downstairs, as if she was waiting for someone to come back.

Xia Ren wiped a dining chair with a towel, sat there with his legs raised, flipping through his cell phone.

The coward's ear-piercing spoon was lying in his pocket. The little thing stood up twice a day, once in the morning, and once a while ago, and now it was exhausted, just like an ordinary ear-piercing spoon.

"I haven't paid attention to it for a while, and there are a few more fine works in the suspense area. This one is written by the poet Yongsun, quite beautifully."

Lu Yi stretched her head curiously and took a look, and found that she couldn't understand it very much, so she lost interest.

She took out a bag of bread from the bag she carried with her, tore the packaging open and took a bite. After thinking about it, she reached out and handed it to Xia Ren's mouth. The latter shook her head and said she would not eat it. Lu Yi stopped Lily, who was running and playing. The two of them separated half of them and chewed slowly in that small mouthful.

Seeing that the foodies looked pitiful, Xia Ren put away his cell phone: "It seems that he won't be back tonight. If you don't wait, let's go and find him."

He sighed and looked at the old couple sitting side by side on the sofa next to him: "Where is your son who likes to go?"

The old couple just looked at him silently with a stiff smile on their faces.

Xia Ren patted his head.

“It’s so similar that I almost forgot,

You're already dead."

...

...

Like Hiroko Huichuan, Xia Ren also noticed Liu Huai's information while checking the information.

Unlike Hirako Huichuan, Xia Ren's investigation was more in-depth. Therefore, he found that Liu Huai's father had a chronic disease and needed to take medicine to maintain relatively healthy health. However, since a year and a half ago, Liu Huai's family has never bought medicine again.

...

...

Under the dark night, the lights lit up from behind the rusty iron door.

"Hello, ma'am, please show your membership card."

As soon as Aikawa Riko opened the door, the first thing she faced was the middle-aged security guard standing behind the door.

“Membership Card?”

Aikawa Riko didn't expect that such a remote place would have places like clubs?

She glanced at the watch, and the pointer on it pointed to the current time zone, at 7:12 pm.

"It seems that this is your first time here."

The security guard smiled politely on his face and opened his body to make a way out: "It's so rude to keep the beautiful lady out, please come in."

"Thanks."

Although he didn't understand the situation here, Liu Huai was probably inside. Huichuan Lizi thanked him and walked into the door.

“You will definitely like it here.”

The security guard said behind him.

The door was closed and the cold wind was blocked outside the house.

Aikawa Riko looked back and looked at her body, always out of vigilance to prevent any possible emergencies.

In front is a long and narrow passage, with music sounds silenced.

When you pass through the passage, the view in front of you is much brighter. This is a hall with a classical decoration style. There are a few warm yellow headlights hanging on the ceiling, only about one-third of which are lit. Even if you look directly at the light, it will not be dazzling. Instead, it will feel a little dark. There are a few solid wood tables and chairs in the hall, which are conservative in shape, but they reveal a bit of luxury.

There is a small stage in the center, with some chairs placed in a mess on the stage. Huichuan Lizi roughly counted it, and there were eleven in total.

Further deeper in the lobby is a bar counter. On the other side of the bar is a wine cabinet, full of all kinds of wines, which are dazzling.

All the decorations here are basically brown solid wood, with soothing piano music beside your ears. The lights above your head can only barely illuminate everything, and those dark corners add a few different flavors to the entire hall.

Elegant, and mysterious.

This place is more like a small tavern. When Huo Chuanriko came in, about ten people were sitting around, including men and women. They either gathered together in groups of three or three and were talking in a quiet corner.

The people who built this place absolutely have a unique taste.

Usually, some are unique, but if you go a little bit more, you will be abnormal.

Riko Huikawa looked at the stage in the center of the tavern and the chairs on the stage, and could not help but recall the case record where the tenant's body was dancing, while the landlord's body sat next to him, like an audience member.

"Hello, Miss Detective, are you going to have something?"

Behind the bartender, the handsome bartender, was entertained.

"How do you know I'm a detective?"

Huichuan Riko walked over and observed the others in the tavern, but found no similar figure to Liu Huai.

The bartender glanced at her and smiled, "Your clothes are very distinctive."

"Excessive award."

Aikawa Riko's attention was still around, and her answers were neither salty nor light.

"Do you want something?"

The bartender asked again.

Aikawa Riko took back her gaze.

Liu Huai is indeed not here, but it should have something to do with this tavern, or maybe it is a member. After all, no one will be bored and come to this wilderness.

Maybe I can ask something from the bartender.

"Then... let's have a cup of Jintangli."

She decided to order a glass of wine.

"Okay, wait."

The bartender smiled and nodded, and took out a bottle of sapphire gin from the wine cabinet behind him.

Jintangli is a straight-tuned cocktail. It does not require much complicated steps. You only need to add about half a cup of ice to a straight high cup, and then pour in an ounce of gin wine and an appropriate amount of tonic water. The tonic water is about 80% less than the cup.

Taking advantage of the bartending time, Aikawa Riko reached out to take out her monocle glasses from her windbreaker. She was about to bring them with her when a person suddenly bumped into her and touched the monocle glasses in her hand to the ground.

Huichuan Riko quickly bent down to pick it up, and she kept her high heels standing on it and stomped the lenses.

"you!"

Aikawa Riko was a little angry, but looked up and found that the person who hit her was a curly-haired woman with alcoholic smell.

"Why..., do you have any... opinions?"

The woman looked over with drunken eyes, her speech and mouth were a little unclear.

Seeing her confused appearance, Aikawa Riko could only suppress her anger and give up.

The woman quickly shifted her attention from Aikawa Riko and climbed onto the bar chair.

"Another glass of whiskey."

The bartender first pushed the prepared Jintang to Riko Aikawa, and then said, "Miss Lidan, you have drunk enough today."

"You care about me, I can drink it again, and... can still... can..."

A woman named Li Dan lay drunk on the bar, drunk and unconscious.

The bartender smiled awkwardly at Aikawa Riko: "This lady often comes here to get drunk, and someone will come to pick her up after a while."

"Um."

Aikawa Riko nodded and couldn't help but glance at her feet again. Although the drunk woman didn't seem to have done it on purpose, the broken glasses still aggravated her uneasy.

"What kind of guests are all here?"

Aikawa Riko held the cup of Jintangli in one hand, and she didn't drink it. The cold touch could keep her awake.

"That's a lot."

The bartender smiled and said, "There are doctors, lawyers, and women's wives, such as this one."

The bartender pointed at the unconscious woman next to him.

"That's how..."

Aikawa Riko continued to ask, “Do you have a membership here?”

"Yes. You look dating, but you will get used to it soon."

"I don't actually like to drink."

Aikawa Riko shook her head and asked again: "Did you see a short and fat man coming in just now?"

"No."

The bartender denied that there was no trace of lying on his face.

Aikawa Riko was silent for a while, took out a thousand-degree coin from her pocket and placed it on the bar, then left her seat and said, "I'll go around."

"no problem."

The bartender still smiled: "You will love it here."

"forever."
