Chapter 245 Analysis of Xingqiu's Theft Incident
"Suiguang fell asleep drunk and lost Aoi no Oki's poem... Aoi no Oki took his poem and gave it to a mysterious person?!"
After saying that, Ying covered her mouth in disbelief.
"Could it be... that the contents of this piece of paper are implying that... the novel Wendy mentioned was lost was stolen by Xingqiu himself?! I even held back from telling Xingqiu about the stolen book, but I never expected... that the culprit was actually him!"
As Paimon spoke, he turned his head away in a huff.
"Wait... didn't Xingqiu just arrive in Inazuma today...? The origin of this piece of paper is unclear, could it be a prank by someone?"
After speaking, Ying looked at Barbatos warily. After all, Ying wasn't sure if the piece of paper Barbatos had just shown had really appeared out of thin air.
Barbatos, standing to the side, smiled instantly after being glared at by Ying.
"Hey, why would I lie to you... This piece of paper really appeared out of thin air!"
"If that's the case... could it be that Xingqiu is just creating the illusion that he just arrived in Inazuma to mislead us and establish his alibi for the time he stole the book?"
"Wait, wait...aren't we here to celebrate a holiday? What kind of detective game are we playing? It's making my head spin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Paimon clutched his head with difficulty.
“Paimon, if Xingqiu has just arrived in Inazuma, he should not be familiar with Inazuma. But after reading the poem, I deliberately tested Xingqiu.”
“I just mentioned that it was windy today and not suitable to eat at Shimei-ya. Xingqiu didn’t question it, which means he knows this is an open-air restaurant. He also knows that the ochazuke at this restaurant is good, which proves that he is very familiar with Inazuma.”
"You mean... Xingqiu has been in Inazuma for a while, but is pretending to have just arrived?"
Barbatos, standing to the side, tilted his head and looked at Abedo.
"Didn't Xingqiu just say that he only heard it tasted good? Maybe he said that when his friend Inari introduced his hometown to him in Liyue? Aren't you guys overinterpreting him a bit?"
After listening to the information conveyed by the group, Ying shook her head in disagreement.
"Besides, Xingqiu is the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, how could he do something so unethical! Moreover, who would steal their own book for no reason? I think he must care about his own book..."
“Ying, don’t be so quick to dismiss me. Although this is my first time meeting Xingqiu, we often exchange letters, so I know a thing or two about his character. There must be some hidden story behind this. The poem says that the reason Kui Zhi Weng took the poem was because he was threatened by someone else.”
After saying that, Aberdo sighed slightly and then added.
"It's unclear what kind of threat he's been threatened, but Wu You Ting is an indoor restaurant, so if any suspicious people are eavesdropping or following us, we should be able to spot them easily. Just to be safe, let's go and check out the place first."
The scene changes.
Inazuma, Utopia Pavilion.
Looking at the empty door, Paimon nervously swallowed, not daring to be the first to push the door open and enter.
Ying stared at Paimon's hesitant hand, wondering what was going through Paimon's little head at that moment.
