Chapter 247 Is this a lie? (Please vote for the big chapter)

The eight or nine-year-old blond boy in front of me is named Yuni Popov, and his missing sister is named Nova Popov.

They had already asked all the questions at the shelter in the morning. No one had seen his sister today. The person in charge of the shelter only took the little boy Yuni to the nearby police station in Edogawa District to investigate.

After registering as a missing person, he returned to the shelter and nothing happened.

When the police officer who received him in the police station's inquiry room saw the face of the little boy Yuni, and heard that he was an orphan from the Grand Duchy of Sayash in the north who had been exiled to the Wano Country asylum, his attitude was obviously perfunctory.

A lot.

After all, in the country of Wano, there are too many missing persons cases every year, and some of them are either missing or temporarily running away from home. If all the people in the police department receive the case and dispatch it immediately, there will not be so many police resources.

To take a step back, even if there were any, the priority of these police resources would definitely be those missing children in the country whose parents are squatting at the police station to urgently urge them.

If this is not done properly, those parents may use various channels to make the police department unable to live in peace.

But children like Yuni and Nova who came from the disintegrated Grand Duchy of Shayash had no fathers, no mothers, and no one to care about them. They could just drag them back for a while, and maybe they would be found by their own people.

Or maybe it really can’t be found.

At this time, looking at Yuni standing at the door looking nervous and uneasy, looking up from time to time to look at Charlie in front of him, it seemed that this was the only life-saving straw for him to find his sister.

Damn human traffickers.

Higashinohara cursed secretly in his mind.

From Yuni's description, his sister Nova, who lives with him in New Tokyo, has very normal mobility and intelligence. Even if he goes out on weekdays, he will not forget the way home, let alone leave the shelter without permission. After all, she is nowhere to be found there.

The younger brother who depends on each other for life.

Moreover, Nova also carries a mobile phone with her, so even if she is really lost or encounters normal trouble, she can still call for help.

When this situation arises, the only people Higashinohara can think of are human traffickers, and people like Nova are indeed the first choice of those people.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara's eyes drifted to Charlie again.

The little boy Yuni contacted Aragaki based on her contact information and regarded her as his sister's last lifeline.

If Charlie refuses, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the little boy to find any other way to find his sister.

Perhaps many years later, on a misty morning like today, he will think of his sister who disappeared in the morning mist that day, and then once again hate himself for being weak and incompetent at that time.

But will Tianhu girl Xia Li refuse?

"It's just too much!"

A slap in the face!

Very soon!

Charlie slapped the small square table on the tatami with one hand and said angrily:

"Shouldn't the people at the shelter be responsible for every child? And the people in the police department are bastards. Do they want to treat it coldly and wait for the case to expire? It's really too much!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Li turned around and said to Uni seriously, "Don't worry! Now that my famous detective Xia Li knows about it, we will definitely not let it go. We promise to help you find your sister.

"

"Really?"

Unity's little face suddenly lit up, and she stared at Charlie with great excitement.

His sister was his only support in the world after his parents died in the revolutionary army's war.

He quickly lowered his head and rummaged through his pockets, and finally took out a small pile of crumpled green banknotes, and handed them to Charlie with a blushing face.

Higashinohara glanced at it and found that it was the currency once issued by the Grand Duchy of Sayash, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The Grand Duchy of Shayash has long been disintegrated, and the banknotes this little guy took out were almost the same as "underworld coins".

Yuni, who was blushing, seemed to know that these were worthless, and whispered, "Sister told me that we can't buy delicious food with the money we have, but this is all I have, and my mother asked us to hide.

They only gave us these when we arrived, oh yes!”

Yuni's big olive-green eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he took off the small gray schoolbag he was carrying, and put it on the ground for a while.

Finally, he took out a few bullet casings and glass balls, which were considered treasures by children. He held them in front of Charlie more solemnly than before, and said reluctantly, "These. These are my most precious."

"Of course you should keep the most precious things by yourself." Before he could finish his words, Charlie interrupted him.

Shaking the green Shayash Grand Duchy banknotes in her hand, she said with a proud face, "These are enough. For your entrustment, my detective Xia Li will go on. Don't worry, we will definitely help you find it."

It’s my sister’s, right, Higashino-kun?”

Um?

Really, what the hell is Higashino-kun?

Higashinohara was stunned for a few seconds.

Immediately, he coughed dryly and nodded slightly under Uni's expectant eyes.

A very happy smile suddenly broke out on the latter's face, and he seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Despite his young age, Yuni is only nine years old, but he has experienced drastic changes that are unimaginable to ordinary people, such as the destruction of his country and his family, and his displacement. His mind is far more precocious than that of ordinary children.

There were four people in this room. From the moment he entered the door, he saw Higashinohara sitting on the tatami mat facing the door. Coladia next to him was giving him food and rice from time to time. The person next to him was about the same age as him.

Nishimarumi pears are also mainly Higashinohara.

Even Charlie, who was reckless and liked to brag, noticed that every time this big sister with long ears on her head said a word, her eyes would glance at the big brother sitting in the main seat from time to time.

Just like how he behaved in front of his sister Nova, he immediately knew who the "talker" was.

Now that the speaker is nodding, of course he is happy.

Naturally, Higashinohara didn't know that he had become a "talker" in the eyes of the little boy Uni. It was definitely impossible for him to nod for money.

Even if Charlie gave half of the small wad of banknotes to Higashinohara, Higashinohara would have no value other than commemorative value.

What will the collection value be in a few years? At that time, it was unclear whether the descendants of the Grand Duchy of Shayash were still around.

The reason why Higashinohara agreed was that he had experienced Nishimaru Miria last year, and he had always hated human traffickers.

On the other hand, the "Guidebook of Crime" in his mind may not reject these human traffickers.

Speaking of which, the task triggering in [Sin Manual] is completely random, and the sin value is just a reference, there are no specific rules.

But the crime value of these human traffickers is definitely high. If they can catch Uni's missing sister, he can try to save people and kill two birds with one stone. Naturally, Higashinohara has no reason to refuse.

At this time, seeing Higashinohara nodding, Charlie, who was holding on to her face, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now in the Aragaki Detective Agency, the unscrupulous uncle Aragaki Satoru is completely indifferent and has retired behind the scenes as a charterer. Charlie is taking care of all the affairs of the agency.

But it was okay to let her track the extramarital affair. After all, the client provided a specific name and route. As a girl, she didn't have to worry about being regarded as a "moron", so it was effortless to follow.

But the current situation is that, except for the photos and limited personal information provided by Uni, they know nothing about the missing Nova.

If Higashinohara didn't nod, then Charlie might be a bit of a Muggle.

At this time, Charlie immediately came up excitedly and asked, "Higashinohara, what should we do now?"

It can be seen that after having an extramarital affair and investigation for so long, the famous detective Xia Li is also panicking, and now a "big case" finally comes.

What to do now?

Higashinohara looked at the "Enma Sukiyaki" slurping on the table, then looked at the little boy Yuni standing across the table with a growling stomach, and sighed, "What else can I do? Let's eat first.

.”

As soon as she heard about the food, Charlie suddenly lost her excitement. She walked over and served a bowl of rice to Uni, and moved her buttocks towards Higashinohara to give Uni a little space.

Location.

Yuni seemed to be relatively introverted and was very embarrassed to see this, but his growling stomach couldn't be hidden from everyone, so in the end he could only timidly sit on the corner of the table with his butt wet.

"Let's eat first. Only when you are full can you have the strength to go find your sister!" Xia Li knew how to comfort and enlighten others. Looking at her like this, you knew that she must have been enlightening herself a lot.

After sitting down, Yuni, who had been keeping his head down, heard that he was looking for his sister, so he reluctantly cheered up, picked up his chopsticks and took two bites, but surprisingly he didn't scream.

This is the Enma Sukiyaki.

The little guy is not afraid of spicy food?

Higashinohara glanced twice before reacting.

It’s not that I’m not afraid of spicy food, I’m afraid I’ve never eaten anything so delicious. It seems like life in overseas juvenile shelters is not easy.

After finishing the meal, Kolodya removed the pot and put away the dishes, and Charlie took Higashinohara to discuss how to help Uni find his sister Nova.

Although Higashinohara is not a famous detective, he has strong logical thinking ability and knows what it means to follow the clues.

The current "vine" is not in the police station, where the case probably hasn't even been filed yet, but in the shelter where Uni and Nova live.

"Yes!"

Charlie clapped her hands, with a burning light in her eyes, "That shelter is so irresponsible. It must not be the first time that a child has been lost. Maybe they have colluded with someone outside!"

Looking at Charlie's conspiracy theory expression, Higashinohara shook his head.

Without further ado, since he decided to help, Higashinohara said hello to Kolodya after eating, changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

In the corridor, Charlie and Uni were both ready to go.
