Chapter 499 The disappeared photo
Downstairs of the apartment where I live in Johor Bahru.
At 8 o'clock, the scheduled time arrived quickly. A man with long hair and wearing a camouflage jacket came to the door and looked around.
Seeing this, Yuya got out of the car with Miyano Shiho and Conan and walked over.
"Hello, is this Mr. Shinyama?" Youya greeted.
This person was the one I contacted on the phone, Xinshan.
Xinshan looked over with a surprised expression: "Are you the Kamiya on the phone? I didn't expect you to be so young." He looked at Miyano Shiho and Conan again and asked tentatively, "This is... your wife and son?"
Conan:? ? ?
Miyano Shiho stood there, her ears turned red and there was a faint smell of steam coming out of her head.
Youya almost laughed out loud and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, do you think I look old enough to have children?"
Xinshan scratched his head awkwardly: "It seems so, sorry for being presumptuous..." But looking at the girl's appearance, even if she is not his wife, she is definitely his girlfriend.
"It's okay," Yuya looked at Conan, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Miyano Shiho, who lowered her head shyly, and said with a forced smile, "But your guess is almost right. This is my girlfriend, Mio. As for this child... I found him on the street, and his name is Conan."
"Hey, who picked it up on the roadside?" Conan shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Ah...Is that so..." Xinshan nodded blankly, thinking that the relationship between these three people was really strange. Young people nowadays are playing so wildly? Picking up a child to play house?
Conan widened his eyes: "Hey, big brother, you don't really believe it, do you?" Is this guy's brain not working well?
Xinshan smiled awkwardly: "It's just a joke, hahaha... Let's go to my house first."
Yuya chuckled and pulled Miyano Shiho to follow.
Conan glared at Yuya's back and waved his fist at him viciously.
Yuya seemed to realize something and looked back.
Conan quickly stood up and trotted after him.
Yuya looked Conan up and down suspiciously.
Conan's acting skills suddenly came into play. He looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth. He was not moved at all.
···
The few of them soon arrived at the apartment in Johor Bahru.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strange smell, which was really unbearable under the influence of the heat.
The room was also a mess, with slippers placed messily at the door, unwashed dishes soaking in the sink, and the trash can full of paper balls that had not been thrown away properly.
A standard single room.
Perhaps because there were girls here, Xinshan smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, the room is a little messy."
Yuya jokingly said: "This is not a little bit, it's a billion bits, right?"
Xinshan smiled bitterly, walked over and opened the window, and fresh air immediately flowed in.
When the smell in the room had almost dissipated, Xinshan closed the doors and windows and turned on the air conditioner.
"Hey, it turns out that in this kind of weather, we can't live without air conditioning!" Xinshan exhaled comfortably and sat down on the chair.
Conan suddenly raised his hand: "Big Brother, can I use the restroom?"
Xinshan said: "Of course, the bathroom is over there."
Conan walked over quickly and noticed a pair of slippers placed neatly in front of the bathroom door, so he reached in, put them on, and walked in.
Xinshan said: "Please sit wherever you like. I'll look for the photo album."
Yuya looked around, exchanged glances with Miyano Shiho, and gave an awkward yet polite smile.
Xinshan was a little embarrassed and apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, I'm a single man and I don't have such a good place to live..."
Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, he stood up and walked to a bookshelf to look for the photo album while talking about looking for it.
Yuya casually glanced around the room and suddenly found several drops of water on the floor.
He subconsciously squatted down to observe and found that it was sweat. He turned around and went to the trash can and found several crumpled paper towels thrown in it, which were already wet.
Yuya thought to himself that the person who stole the photo album had indeed come. It was obvious that the time they came was different from that in the original book, but the same event still happened. Could this be the power of the world line's convergence?
But it's normal. After all, he didn't interfere in the events that were not related to the main plot, so it is likely that the story will continue along the original route.
If he remembered correctly... Yuya's gaze fell on the balcony covered by curtains. There should be a washing machine there, and a person was hiding inside.
You couldn't help but worry. This guy didn't make any serious mistakes. The weather was so hot and the temperature didn't drop very low at night. Was it really okay for him to hide in there?
Suddenly, Xinshan's puzzled voice sounded: "Oh, I remember putting the album here, why can't I find it?"
Youya turned his head and saw Xinshan standing in front of the bookshelf, scratching his head and rummaging through the bookshelf.
Yuya kindly reminded, "Do you have the photos saved on your computer?"
Xinshan suddenly realized: "Oh! Indeed, there is."
Yuya said, "In that case, let's just look at what's in the computer. Anyway, I just want to confirm what that person looks like, so it doesn't matter if there's no photo."
Xinshan nodded, walked over and turned on the computer.
He held the mouse and operated it for a while, and soon he shouted in surprise: "What the hell, why are all my saved photos gone? I don't remember deleting them?! Is there a virus?"
Miyano Shiho came over: "Let me see."
Xinshan was a little confused, but still gave up his seat.
Miyano Shiho pulled the keyboard over and started operating it quickly.
Xinshan stood behind and watched the lines of code flashing on the screen, stunned: No, can the computer be operated like this?
After a moment, Miyano Shiho looked at Yuya: "The data in the computer showed signs of being deleted not long ago."
"Can it be recovered?" Youya asked.
Miyano Shiho shook her head and gave a regretful expression: "Without professional equipment, it won't work just relying on this computer."
"You can check this?" Xinshan's eyes widened in surprise. He immediately realized, "That's not right. I haven't been back since I left in the morning. How could the data be deleted? Is it really a virus?"
Yuya suddenly said: "I think the greater possibility is that someone sneaked into this room, took the album away and deleted the photos in the computer at the same time?"
"Huh?" Xinshan was shocked.
Yuya nodded slightly: "Besides, that person was here not long ago."
"What?" Xinshan was a little unconvinced. "You said someone sneaked in here? And was here just now? That's impossible, right?"
He is a bachelor and there is nothing valuable in his room. That person didn't come in to steal the photo album or delete the photos, right?
"Brother Yuye is right!" A child's voice suddenly sounded.
Xinshan subconsciously turned his head and found that the child named Conan was standing behind him.
"There are a lot of evidences, such as slippers. The slippers at the entrance were clearly thrown in a mess, but the slippers at the door of the bathroom were neatly placed. Doesn't this mean that someone may have used the bathroom when you were not there?
And that person had good habits, and he was careful to put his slippers in the right place."
Xinshan subconsciously retorted: "I also put my slippers in the right place occasionally, okay?" He said this as if he had a bad habit... although that was indeed the case.
Conan smiled and said, "It's just sometimes, not every time, right?"
Xinshan nodded awkwardly: "Well, probably..."
"That's reason enough to doubt."
Conan put one hand in his pocket, took a few steps with confident steps, and casually pulled out a tissue: "Another thing I noticed is the water stains on the floor."
