I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 670
Li Yan on the side complained in his heart.
※※※
Room 505.
At 6:50, the wet Li Yan returned to the apartment. These days, he began to pay attention to the safety of the environment around Mashiro and others. His life, which was already a bit tight for time, seemed to have become even more stressful after a few more rounds of patrols and care. Busy as hell.
He didn't know if his assistant Alice was already starving at this point...
"I'm back."
Li Yan opened the door and said.
However, in the brightly lit entrance hall, in front of Li Yan, Alice in pajamas was lying motionless on the wooden board in the corridor with her face to the ground, and her beautiful long black hair also touched the wooden board...
"..." Li Yan was stunned at the door, what's going on?
Chapter 324 The Ending of Sherlock Holmes
Tokyo, night.
Alice has a fever.
From the outside, it looks like this. The slightly childish Duanli has a flushed face, shortness of breath, is weak to the point of weakness, and is quite afraid of the cold. She lies on a bed filled with dolls and is covered with two quilts. They were all still trembling slightly.
Li Yan took out the thermometer and saw that it showed 38.8 degrees, which was almost close to a high fever.
When we had breakfast together before going out in the morning, Alice seemed to be in good spirits.
"He~~~He~~~~"
Alice, who had been working hard for several days, looked very bad and was almost completely unconscious. She frowned slightly and kept breathing rapidly through her mouth, looking very uncomfortable. Not long after she fainted in the corridor, Li Yan took her back to her room.
Li Yan wanted to ask Mashiro to come over to help, but neither Mashiro nor Rita was in the room. The Kobayashi family also left Tokyo temporarily due to a work trip. After knocking on the door for a few minutes, Gabriel could not respond, so in the end Li Yan could only do it himself.
When he put the thermometer into Alice's armpit, he carefully unbuttoned the girl's second button. He was troubled by an inexplicable heavy feeling of crime and became extremely uneasy. As a result, the hand holding the thermometer planned to When he reached in, his palm touched the sweaty and hot skin, which made Li Yan feel doubly embarrassed. After placing it under his armpit and letting Alice clamp it tightly, Li Yan finally accidentally saw a few points. .
"This girl... is indeed wearing a vest commonly used by adolescent girls..." Li Yan couldn't help but confirm one thing in his mind.
February is a spring that alternates between cold and warm. It often rains and the weather is relatively cold. The number of colds in Tokyo has been increasing sharply, including at the University of Tokyo. Every day, some students ask for leave due to physical discomfort. After all, science students studying physics The pressure is huge, and no matter how good your physique is, you can easily fall victim to overtiredness.
Alice had just woken up once after lying on the bed, and had been sleeping since taking the antipyretic medicine given by Li Yan. Now that the medicine was taking effect, the girl's forehead was filled with hot sweat.
Li Yan, whose clothes were a little wet, sat aside and could only look after Alice for a while. It seemed that there was no way to follow the novel tonight. For dinner, just order two takeaways.
"call……"
Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head slightly, and took a short rest.
After Nanami was injured, Li Yan realized the dangerous scene around Mashiro and others. He had been tensing his nerves. When taking care of the feverish Alice in this warm apartment room, he had to calm down and exhale. After that, I relaxed my body and mind even though I was tired.
Li Yan has recently done some research on the information about the gang of thieves from Europe. It seems to be an international gang that uses both resourcefulness and violence. The police have speculated that the gang of thieves named "Jester" is to commemorate the nineteenth century. Jest, a famous island in the Mediterranean that has been popular for centuries, is suspected of being Italians, British, French, Spanish, Polish... There are not many members in the gang, but the success rate of theft is 90%.
For such a force to deal with a high school girl, it seems that their resentment towards Mashiro Shiina and Rita is deep enough.
What's more important is that there is an extremely smart mind in the gang who can think rationally about the criminals who psychologically torture Mashiro Shiina. It is probably the brain of this gang that leads the way.
Dimming the lights to the darkest level, while Li Yan was quietly thinking about how to deal with the [Jester] gang in the dark, he inadvertently saw a pile of files under Alice's computer desk.
"?"
Li Yan set off to get some documents to check, but he saw internal confidential information from the British and Japanese police departments...
"How is this going?!"
Li Yan was shocked. He turned on the light under the computer desk and began to move the files out to further examine the pile of files of unknown origin.
After the review, the credibility was very high and it was determined that it really came from confidential internal documents of the British and Japanese police departments.
"Wait a minute...how did these documents that are obviously not open to the public come from, and why are they in Alice's room..."
Li Yan thought in shock, but soon had a definite answer.
He turned back and looked at the sleeping Alice.
He has never interfered too much with Alice's identity. He just kept her by his side after basically confirming that she was not a villain. However, Alice has shown her computer skills and excellent brain more than once. It is obvious that these information are related to Intelligence analysis is Alice's "masterpiece".
This terrifying hacking technology can even extract the files of core institutions in the UK and Japan. It is simply a cyber monster...
When he was checking this information, he was vaguely looking through each police officer's personal information, attendance records, case reports, and all the situation analysis involving the [Jester Thieves Gang] case. Li Yan explored this pile of information The purpose of the investigation.
In his memory, several strange expressions and contacts between Alice and Mashiro seemed to make Li Yan more and more aware of the positions and purposes of Alice and Victoria.
Alice's background does seem to be not simple, but she really seems to play the role of an "assistant" to them.
"..."
"...!"
In dozens of minutes of reading and analysis, Li Yan quickly learned the clues found by Mashiro Shiina and Victoria. As a result, this discovery made Li Yan's pupils dilate.
Li Yan frowned and thought: "...No wonder, the Jester Bandits have been able to escape through a strange combination of circumstances many times. It turns out that there is a spy in the police force, and the official rank is not low, and they have been cleverly covering up the case. Retreat of associates.”
So, it means that Mashiro Shiina and others, who are protected by the police day and night, are actually being monitored by Jester's gang 24 hours a day.
All I can say is that it is difficult for the police, especially the British police, to be trusted anymore.
"But based on the conclusions reached through such means, I think... they cannot produce such evidence for internal police investigation, and this kind of reasoning is not considered evidence of accusation."
Li Yan sat under the lamp and understood that the predicament in front of him was more dangerous. At this moment, Alice behind him suddenly spoke.
"dad……"
Alice called softly.
"..."
Li Yan was stunned and turned around to look.
Alice closed her eyes tightly, the tears on her beautiful eyelashes looked crystal clear in the dim light, flowing down the sides of her face, and her hands began to move restlessly.
"...Alice?" Li Yan looked at Alice in surprise, stood up, and returned to the bed.
He reached out and touched Alice's forehead, but her temperature did not rise further.
However, Li Yan's hand was noticed by Alice, and she quickly grabbed Li Yan's hand from the quilt.
In a dark room, a doll loomed to accompany Alice. There was drizzle outside, and occasionally lightning flashed. Li Yan was stunned, and his hand was tightly grasped by those trembling little hands.
