Play Speak
I told Xiawolei what happened in detail.
After listening to Little Paimon’s explanation, Xia Volei frowned and crossed her arms: “Two Gunslingers… you have a good eye for choosing stories.
What do you need me to do? Just be the action director for the actors?"
"That's right. Since we are going to shoot it, we have to make it more professional and try to make the actor's gun-holding posture and understanding of guns close to that of a real gunner." This is Xavier's real thought.
After speaking of his thoughts, he naturally also talked about his concerns, mainly the issue of time conflict: "However, this work may take up more of your time... After all, the shooting requires full companionship..."
"It's okay, I'll join." Xiawolei agreed directly.
Paimon was surprised by her straightforwardness: "Huh? You agreed so readily!"
"The search has come to an end, and there is nothing else important to do for now. I can't rest anyway, so I might as well join in. Maybe I can gain something special." Xia Wulei explained calmly, "Besides, I like this novel and have a hardcover copy at home. It's a story about justice defeating evil. I never get tired of reading it over and over again."
After receiving Xiawolei's affirmative answer, Qianzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's settled."
"It's settled. See you at the shooting site tomorrow." Xia Wole agreed readily.
The last piece of the puzzle was in place. Xavier felt that his life had reached its peak and was very happy: "Oh my God, this is going too smoothly, right? I... I have to quickly inform Lady Fininna and Lady Aurora. Also, the prop master and the lighting engineer, and have them prepare the equipment. We will start shooting tomorrow!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
Qianzhi couldn't help but follow up with a sentence: "Calm down Xavier, Shadow can't be filmed in one day."
Seeing that Xavier didn't react, Qianzhi knew that this guy wouldn't listen to anything now. Fortunately, there were no high-speed vehicles in Fontaine, otherwise, with his current condition, he would probably encounter many dangers at night.
She shook her head and looked at Ying and Paimon: "But I have to go back and prepare clothes and makeup for the actors."
"Okay! Then let's say goodbye here!" Paimon said goodbye to Chizhi and planned to leave with Ying.
But Xia Wo Lei suddenly called them both: "Ying, Paimeng, stay for a moment, I have something to tell you."
"Then I'll send Xavier back first. He's so excited that he can't walk in a straight line. I don't want to spend the first day of filming looking for the producer in the fountain." Chizhi glanced at Xavier, who hadn't walked far yet, and considerately left space for Xia Vole and the others.
Ying also glanced at Xavier's erratic back, hesitated for a moment and said: "Xavier should be able to stay awake..."
"He'd better." Qianzhi rolled her eyes. It was obvious that this was not the first day she knew this guy.
Chizhi and Xavier left, and Xiawolei took Ying and little Paimon to an empty corner.
After making sure that no one was paying attention to them, little Paimon finally lost his patience and spoke first: "So, what does Xiawolei want to say to us?"
"Have you seen the two gunners?" Xia Wole did not explain directly, but asked this question instead.
Ying scratched her head: "I understand a little bit."
Xiawolei didn't care, but directly talked about the plot of the novel: "The novel tells the story of a pair of children from a count's family who depend on each other and avenge their mother.
When they were young, they lived in the Earl's house. Their mother was a maid in the house. They were the illegitimate children of the Earl and the maid, so they were not liked by others since childhood.
One day they returned home and found their mother lying in the room, murdered. It was obvious that the murderer was the Earl's family who had spoken ill of them.
However, the Earl's power was strong enough to suppress the voice, and the case was considered suicide, and justice could not be served. The brother and sister decided to escape and seek revenge in the future.
Many years later, the Earl's family members were suddenly killed one by one by gunfire. On each of their bodies, there was a blooming rainbow rose, which was the favorite flower of the dead mother.
The count thought that it was the ghost of the mother coming to take revenge, and lived in fear every day.
But, in fact, they were the brother and sister who escaped at the beginning. They depended on each other, trained day and night, and finally became two musketeers.
They used their own strength to collect clues and evidence and execute the plan. They finally completed their revenge on the count and let the truth of their mother's death be known to the world. "
"It's a very satisfying story!" Paimeng thought it was very good after hearing it. After all, people in this world just like this kind of drama.
The resistance of the weak, the fall of the strong, and revenge against injustice are eternal topics.
Because most people in the world are weaklings who are powerless in the face of powerful forces.
Xia Wulei nodded slightly. "Yes, evil will eventually be punished, and justice will be served. I like its theme."
"Is this also the reason why Xiawolei wants to join?" Paimon guessed.
Xia Wulei did not comment: "It's just one aspect."
This surprised little Paimeng: "Huh? Is there another reason?"
Xiawolei nodded: "I have read reports about you, whether it is participating in the trial of the case or assisting in dealing with the crisis in Fontaine...
It is not difficult to see that you have a strong sense of justice and your reasoning ability should not be underestimated."
At this point, Ying came to her senses: "Could it be that there is a case that they want to entrust us with?"
"You are very perceptive." Xia Wulei nodded, "It seems that you have experienced similar situations many times.
There was a gun murder case recently. The murderer's method of committing the crime was very similar to the plot in the novel. "
"Ah? Really? There's nothing about this in today's newspaper!" Little Paimeng was terrified. There was actually a murder case! She was in a bit of danger now.
The little guy has decided to stay with Saphir for a while. After all, when danger comes, Saphir's side is the safest place, especially when she takes out the Seraph mode.
Even more reassuring than the Emperor.
Xia Wole knew what Paimon was thinking, so she shook her head and said, "The Shadow Chaser Court has not yet released any information about the case because there has been no progress in the investigation and the murderer is very cautious."
"Killing people with a rifle... I remember there were very few people in Fontaine who used rifles." Paimon recalled and felt that this kind of people were not common.
Ying fixed her eyes on Xia Wole's face: "Could it be the Gunners..."
"Impossible! The gunnery team checks the condition of the guns and the level of ammunition every day. It is clear at a glance whether the gun has been fired or not, and they are all people I trust." Xia Wole flatly denied it, not believing that his subordinates would do such a thing.
Then, she changed the subject: "However, this is all I can tell you about the case today."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Little Paimeng didn't understand again.
Xiawolei didn’t say much: “I hope you can go back and have a good sleep, and decide tomorrow whether you want to investigate with me.
I know this is causing you trouble, but I hope there will be as many helpers of justice as possible."
"Is there no one from the special patrol team investigating?" Ying asked a rather pointed question. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that outsiders would be asked for help when it comes to these matters. What Xia Wole did was not very reasonable, and it could even be said to be a bit weird.
Xiawolei thought for a moment and explained: “This is not the responsibility of the special patrol team. Our job is to catch the murderer, and finding them is the job of the Shadow Chaser.
Investigation... is a selfish motive of mine." Her expression became firm, "I don't want the gun to be tainted. In addition... I also care about the similarity between the author's style and the novel."
Paimon's expression also became serious: "Do you think there is a connection behind this?"
This is a normal human reaction. When there is a connection between the two, it is assumed that there is a certain degree of suspicion.
"I do think so." Xia Wulei nodded. Perhaps she felt that her attitude was a bit stiff, so she softened her tone and said, "Let me repeat, this is not an order or a deal, it's just a request.
If you two are interested in the case after tomorrow's filming and are willing to help me investigate, I will be very grateful. "
This is also the usual rhetoric of public officials. They can't make any promises or give any rewards, but they just express gratitude, very grateful.
Paimon was quite impressed by this. After hearing what Xiawolei said, she looked at Ying with some uncertainty: "Hmm... Ying, what do you think?"
"Too much happened today, let's think about it tomorrow." Ying replied calmly.
But in fact, what I was thinking was: Why not go back and ask the magical Safire?
Paimon could only nod his head after hearing this: "Well, you're right, I'm a little tired too. I haven't rested since this morning."
“Just go back and rest today. It’s important to keep a cool head, especially when making important decisions.
Otherwise, at the critical moment, you may not even be able to see the road three steps away. " Xia Wulei was not in a hurry to get their affirmative answer. In her opinion, even without the help of Ying and Xiao Paimeng, she would still insist on investigating this matter.
After saying this, the three of them said goodbye and went back to their homes.
On the other side, Xavier ran to the fountain as Chizhi expected.
He was indeed confused by the ups and downs of today, and he was in an extreme state of excitement: "Ah! What a kind person, how lucky I am!"
Qianzhi really wanted to say that Saphir was definitely not helping him out of kindness, and there must be greater interests behind the fact that made her pay.
But before she could say anything, she saw Xavier stagger and about to fall forward, so she had to reach out and pull him up, muttering in dissatisfaction: "Walk slower."
"This is the end of all hardships, this is the light at the end of the tunnel!" Xavier didn't care at all. He still walked lightly, regardless of everything. "Ah! I see, there is hope ahead of me!"
Qianzhi held her forehead helplessly. She didn't know what Xavier hoped for in the future, but she knew that Saphir would probably have another poor worker under his command.
But she didn't need to say that, she just reminded him: "There is a fountain in front of you, I hope you can at least see it clearly."
She felt that her life was actually quite hard. Xavier didn't drink today, so how come he was drunk? And...
How long is she going to stay here with this guy?
Ying and little Paimon returned to the Debo Hotel.
When they came back, Furninna had already gone back. Kamisato Ayaka and Xiao Gong took Klevie to go diving, while Kamisato Ayato went to discuss something with Navilette.
Only Safire was sitting on the sofa in the lobby with his legs crossed, holding a cup of black tea and seemingly watching a show.
"Huh? Safir, what are you doing?" When little Paimon saw Safir, he immediately came over and sat on her shoulder very intimately.
Seeing the little guy like this, Safir curled his lips slightly and said, "What's wrong? Have you encountered any trouble that you can't solve?"
"Hehe, as expected you saw through me. This is what happened..." Little Paimon recounted Xiawolei's request in detail and asked for Safir's opinion.
Saphir frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Ying: "What do you think?"
"I don't know either, but Xia Worei is willing to help us, so I think I should help her too." This is what Ying thought.
Saphir nodded slightly when he heard this: "In that case, then help her. It's not a big deal. You will always encounter various things when you travel around.
But don’t think of this as returning a favor, because Xiawolei also does things for money, and she is paid to help us, so don’t feel inferior when working with her.”
"Don't worry, don't worry. I understand this!" Ying nodded vigorously immediately.
After finalizing Xiawolei's matter, Ying finally had the mind to observe what was happening in the lobby. She suddenly discovered that the atmosphere in Debo Hotel didn't seem to be very good.
Safir placed the teacup on the coffee table in front of him and clicked his tongue: "I have already reminded her of this, but it seems that silly girl Aikefei still fell into the trap..."
"Ah? Aikefei? Is he the chef here?" Ying reacted immediately.
Saphir nodded. "It seems that another customer has found the ghost element in his food and is causing trouble now."
As she spoke, another quarrel was heard in the lobby.
Wagnum repeatedly assured that he had definitely checked the warehouse and there was absolutely no residual chlorophyll.
But it was this one sentence that was used as a handle by someone.
"Glimmer of light...residues? You really have that kind of stuff in your warehouse!" The customer was very excited and was about to smash something.
Just when everything was in chaos, an orange-haired girl finally came out from the kitchen and came to the lobby.
"Everyone! Please calm down! Listen to me, I am Aikefei, the head chef of Debo Hotel." The girl attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
Saphir raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? How does this girl plan to calm things down this time?"
"Aikefei? Is that Ai Kefei?" People around began to whisper, but no one spoke loudly. Obviously, the appearance of Ai Kefei did have a certain suppressive effect on this disturbance.
Ai Kefei stood there and calmed down. The tail behind her that looked like a fork was swinging uneasily. "It is true that we put the food contaminated with the phantom element into the warehouse due to some mistakes before, but we handled all the food as soon as we found this and checked the warehouse carefully.
I can guarantee that the food in the warehouse is absolutely safe.”
"But it is an indisputable fact that I consumed the dark energy! You, the Debo Hotel, must give me an explanation!" The guest did not seem to intend to let this matter go easily.
Safir frowned slightly. If the warehouse had been checked and the ingredients had been replaced, why did the dish still contain luminescent substances?
That's not normal.
Saphir immediately realized that this must be a conspiracy.
Ai Kefei also frowned: "So what kind of explanation does the customer want? Compensation? Or anything else, you can mention it."
"Huh? You can propose anything? Then are you willing to resign from your position as head chef?" The guest sneered and mocked.
But what he didn't expect was that Ai Kefei nodded and agreed without changing his expression: "Okay."
"What?" Everyone was surprised. They never thought things would turn out like this.
"There are dangerous substances in the dishes of the Debo Hotel that shouldn't be there. As the head chef, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Even if you don't say it, I will resign.
Not only that, I will also turn myself in and serve my sentence in Mellow Petersburg. So, are the guests satisfied?" Ai Kefei said calmly, his eyes looked very serious.
"This..." The guest was instantly speechless.
The people around started to persuade Aikefei to calm down, saying that things had not yet reached that point.
Saphir stood up somewhat uninterested and walked towards the door.
"Aren't you going to stay and continue watching?" Ying took two quick steps to catch up, asking curiously.
Safire shook his head: "It's not necessary. It's actually quite irresponsible to wishfully think that giving in can solve the problem.
She should have investigated actively and caught the culprit. But she didn't do that... He's not such a weak person... Why is that?"
Aikefei's choice made Saphir full of doubts, and she left the Debo Hotel with all kinds of speculations.
