I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 298

Qingshan Nanhai stood up, clenched his fists, showed a hearty smile, looked at Li Yan, and said loudly: "But! I will not give in! Senior, even if I am scarred, I will not fall."

"..." Li Yan raised his head and looked at this fighting girl. For some reason, he felt more and more that Qingshan Qihai was too similar to his former self.

"Where there's a will, there's a way. I believe you will become an excellent voice actor."

Li Yan never bless others easily, because the blessing he gives to others is hope and encouragement. Every encouragement must be taken responsibility, but this time he directly and decisively placed his bet on Qihai. , said.

"Yes!" Nanami Aoyama's cheeks turned slightly red, and she said with a happy smile.

"Even though I have worked hard and lost, I still hope to pin the hopes of hard-working people who have suffered hardships and setbacks on you. Qingshan, please work hard to realize your dreams."

Li Yan looked at Qi Hai's smile, as if he was watching a real drama in the quiet stage play, eagerly looking forward to this hardworking young girl being able to surpass him and realize her ideal that she has worked so hard for so far.

…

Originally, it was a peaceful night. After Li Yan and Qihai went back to their respective rooms, the Japanese mansion became completely quiet...

"!!"

However, suddenly, the sound of the alarm bell broke everyone's dreams, causing those who were sleeping to wake up one after another.

In an instant, Li Yan, Nanami Aoyama, and Mashiro Shiina, who opened her eyes drowsily, suddenly felt in their hearts that the peaceful drama rehearsal plan had an unknown episode...

Chapter 177 Detective Assistant Mashiro H. Watson

Late at night, it was raining heavily, and there was a rustling sound of rain outside. In that small town located on the outskirts of Tokyo, the original peace of the rainy night was suddenly broken.

Because of the sound of sirens and the commotion of the crowd, an office-like room in the inner room of the hotel seemed messy. The outside of the door was filled with teachers and students who came to watch. Everyone confirmed that the theft was in front of their eyes. happened.

Everyone's expressions became a little uneasy. It seemed that the damage was quite complete. The night wind blew into the entire house through the broken windows.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night. There is a serious theft case in the hotel. The anti-theft alarm suddenly went off. Our store's security personnel and staff went to investigate together and found that the boss is planning to give the family money next week. Three priceless antiques on display were missing.”

A middle-aged man, wearing a black suit, who seemed to be the person in charge of this large hotel, looked a little chubby, and deliberately left two beards, said to them.

"!!"

There was an immediate commotion among the students, who were all a bit panicked and curious about this sudden theft. After all, someone broke into this theater and hotel late at night.

"...No, is it such a coincidence that a theft occurred just after we moved in..." Li Yan was slightly stunned and thought to himself.

"Such a thing happened. So, have you called the police?" a female teacher from Suimei Art High School asked worriedly.

"I'm ready to call the police. However, the three stolen cultural relics have always been the boss's most important antique cultural relics. Their combined value exceeds tens of millions of yen. Although they are not that valuable to the boss, all of them are currently present. Everyone has a certain suspicion. So I'm sorry, the dormitories including the employees have also started to be searched. Now it's the turn of the housing on this side. Our security personnel need to search everyone's luggage and packages. This is very rude, but external The matter can no longer be traced, and we still need to further eliminate everyone's suspicion internally. We apologize for any intrusion."

The hotel and theater manager said to them seriously.

"ah……"

"Isn't it?"

"What, do we even doubt it?"

Suddenly, the students of Shuiming's associate high school for art were in an uproar and began to complain.

"I'm really sorry, but after all, it is an antique cultural relic worth more than 10 million, so we need to eliminate the suspicion. I am not saying that the students, teachers, and gentlemen are criminals. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Although this manager said this, his eyes were not apologetic at all, but he did not treat this group of foreign high school teachers and students at all.

Although the tough tone made people feel uncomfortable, the students and teachers present seemed not to want to get into trouble and basically acquiesced.

"Such an attitude seems to treat us as suspects, which is a little too much. Besides, are my clothes being randomly searched like this..." Aoyama Nanami looked at the group of staff with some disapproval and whispered. said.

"..." Li Yan didn't care. He was sure that no one had touched their two rooms during that period. Even if they were searched, they wouldn't be afraid of finding anything used to frame them.

However, when everyone was quiet, a girl made a voice at this moment.

"...However, this would damage the crime scene."

The voice was very soft, but very calm and firm, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.

"?!"

A group of students and staff were all stunned, and their eyes were attracted to the place where these words came from. Under the dim corridor light, they saw this person wearing the uniform of Shuimei Art Associate High School, and his golden hair was shining in the dim light. The lights in the corridor were a little dazzling. Her eyes seemed to have magic power, calm and clear, without any fear. She walked out of the crowd and stood between Li Yan and Qingshan Nanhai, looking at the staff in front of her. , said.

"...W-what are you talking about?" The somewhat chubby manager asked with a look of surprise on his face and his voice seemed a little unnatural.

"Regardless of any case...the environment surrounding the crime scene should not be wantonly destroyed."

Mashiro Shiina continued.

"The crime scene is not in your room. We have good protection for the apologized scene over there. Little girl, you are only a student. When adults are talking, it is better for you students to be quiet." A manager touched his beard, looked at her with a bit of contempt and said.

“But, what’s wrong is what’s wrong.”

In the darkness, Shiina Mashiro's eyes were calm and clear. Facing this group of more than ten hotel staff who were watching eagerly, and being watched by dozens of people at this moment, she remained calm and said: "This is also the scene, According to criminal case regulations, the entire building, including its surroundings, is defined as a site and unauthorized destruction is prohibited."

This sentence was obviously very light and quiet, but everyone present was shocked by her words. I don't know why, her words were very calm, but they seemed to have absolute authority. Maybe it was because the surroundings were too quiet. On the contrary, this girl's voice was particularly clear.

【sough……】

The sound of rain outside became louder and louder, but there was dead silence inside the house.

The night wind blew this beautiful girl with long golden hair. She faced the cold wind and looked straight ahead, waiting for the questioner's reply. At this moment, not only Li Yan and Qingshan Qihai, but also other people, kept quiet at this moment, as if they were shocked by this girl's words.

"Um, but...if we don't search your packages and rooms, we can't rule out the suspicion that you are the deputy director of Suimei Art..." The manager was silent for a moment and further explained.

"...Open the door and watch the scene in the room. No one can leave the scene and wait for the police to come."

Shiina Mashiro looked at him quietly and answered.

For a moment, the initiative in the scene was once again controlled by this girl who looked like an expert in investigating crimes. Her words were too professional and left no room for others to refute.

"Teacher, let me borrow your camera." Mashiro Shiina said to the teacher beside her.

"...Um, okay, okay." The female teacher was slightly stunned. Although she didn't know what Shiina Mashiro wanted to borrow, she still couldn't help but give the camera in her pocket to Shiina Mashiro.

"...Now, Holmes, do we want to start an investigation?" Mashiro Shiina took the camera and handed it to Li Yan. She asked Li Yan calmly and quietly, appearing so cautious.

"..." Li Yan didn't answer for a while.

In front of many strangers, Mashiro Shiina cautiously called him "Holmes", but the implication was that the two of them once again entered the state of investigating the incident.

Everyone looked at Shiina Mashiro, who had a detective-like temperament, and at first looked at this mixed-race girl who didn't like to talk with an observational attitude, including Li Yan who was standing next to her.

During this period of time, Mashiro seemed to have spent a lot of time studying real cases and detective novels in order to study the plot of the comics. I heard from Nanami that she seemed to have been communicating with an internationally renowned detective novelist on emails. . Moreover, when she came here, she walked around this building specifically. Looking at it now, it seems that she has been subconsciously instilled in a detective novel to have a set of rules for guarding against strange places...

So, that morning, it only took her two seconds to determine what he had done last night without any mistakes...
