Chapter 731: Rice Wife's Little Trouble
While Ying was having a great conversation with Xiao Gong and Kamisato Ayaka, Shao Yun was also chatting with Kamisato Ayato.
Shao Yun raised his chin and asked, "Ayato, how is Inazuma now?"
Seeing this, Kamisato Ayato wondered in his heart: What is Shao Yun's intention in suddenly asking about Inazuma?
So, he smiled and replied in an official tone: "As for Inazuma...it's still the same as before. There's nothing special about it. There's nothing to talk about."
Shao Yun noticed that Kamisato Ayato didn't seem willing to talk more about Inazuma's situation, but he didn't give up and continued to ask.
"Wow, don't treat me like Paimon, I heard from Captain Hokuto of the Southern Cross Fleet that Miss Hiiragi Chisato is missing!"
When hearing Shao Yun mention the disappearance of Chisato Hiiragi, Kamisato Aya's heart tightened. This was an incident that caused a huge uproar in Inazuma half a year ago.
He suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, so this is what Mr. Shao Yun was talking about. Since you already know it, I really don't have anything more to share."
Seeing that Kamisato Ayato was so indifferent to this topic and had no desire to continue the conversation, Shao Yun half-jokingly said, "Haha, I'm just chatting casually. What's the matter? Do you think I kidnapped Miss Hiiragi Chisato?"
Kamisato Ayato raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a standard diplomatic smile, and said softly: "You are such a joke, how could Miss Hiiragi Chisato be kidnapped by you?"
"It's just that that case happened more than five or six months ago."
When he heard that this happened more than five months ago, Shao Yun was stunned.
"More than five months ago? Wow... has it been that long? I thought this happened recently!"
Kamisato Ayato shook his head slightly and explained, "That's why I said that Inazuma hasn't had anything worth talking about recently."
"As for the case of Miss Chisato Hiiragi's disappearance, it has now been shelved by the New Heaven Realm Magistrate."
"However, Brother Ichito is very concerned about this case." Kamisato Ayato continued, "He said he would help Brother Kamajiro find Miss Hiiragi Chisato, and he is still working hard on the investigation."
When Shao Yun heard this, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he blurted out, "What? That guy Arawaki Ichito is investigating the case?"
It’s not that Shao Yun has any stereotype, it’s just that Aradaki Ichito doesn’t give people the impression of being a detective.
With his bold and uninhibited personality and informal behavior, can such a "ghost" really do the job of a detective?
At least it has to be someone from Kanoin Heizo or the Manduan Coral Detective Agency.
Kamisato Ayato has a very high opinion of Aradaki Ichito, but that doesn't mean things will go smoothly.
"Ichito-san is indeed a kind-hearted person (ghost). He has been actively investigating the kidnapping of Chisato Hiiragi. It's a pity that the current progress... can be said to be minimal."
Shao Yun said bluntly: "I thought he would keep looking for some legendary hidden master, learn some unique skills, and then come to seek revenge on me."
When Kamisato Ayato heard Shao Yun mention that he killed Kujo Sara and thus became enemies with Arata Ichito, he suddenly fell silent.
"..."
Shao Yun noticed Kamisato Ayato's silence and thought that it would be better not to continue talking about this unpleasant matter, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Do you think Aratake Ichito will eventually be able to successfully find the murderer who kidnapped Chisato Hiiragi?"
Kamisato Ayato thought for a moment, then stroked his chin and replied, "I can't say for sure, but that little girl named Kuki Shinobu seems to be resourceful. With her around, nothing big should go wrong."
Shao Yun asked a question at this time.
"Even if the murderer hasn't been caught yet, after so much time, there should be some progress, even if it's minimal."
Kamisato Ayato shook his head slowly, a helpless expression on his face, and said frankly: "I can't be sure either. After all, the Aratake faction is not an official organization of Inazuma, and the power it can mobilize is quite limited."
"However, fortunately, the current Tenryo Bugyo doesn't seem to be too concerned about Arata Ichito's investigation, so he shouldn't encounter too many obstacles in this regard."
Shao Yun heard that Arata Ichito had made no progress, so he asked, "Have you ever thought about helping Kujo Kamajima and looking for Hiiragi Chisato together?"
When Kamisato Ayato heard this question, he was startled at first, then showed a melancholy look.
"Of course I want to help, but where do I start? There are so many enemies between the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family. Almost everyone could be a suspect in the kidnapping of Miss Hiiragi Chisato."
After all, some people in the Coral Palace are eager to wipe out the Kujo and Hiiragi families.
If it weren't for Coral Palace Xinhai and General Goro who didn't want to take things to the extreme, and if it weren't for the protection of Yae Kamiko and Sha Bugyo, this ill-fated couple would have died long ago.
I thought the civil war had ended for so long and should have died down, but who could have imagined that such a problem would arise on such a happy day?
"I also sent members of the Final Division to search every corner of Narukami Island, but in the end it was all in vain. So much time has passed, I'm afraid Miss Hiiragi Chisato..."
Having said that, Kamisato Ayato did not continue speaking, but his meaning was already very clear, Hiiragi Chisato might have died.
Shao Yun looked at Kamisato Ayato's expression, not knowing whether he really couldn't find Hiiragi Chisato or he felt that this matter was not important and not worth spending too much energy to investigate.
However, facing Kamisato Ayato's answer, Shao Yun didn't dare to ask any further and could only respond helplessly.
"All right……"
Just then the system popped up a reminder of a hidden task.
[Hidden task: You can choose to take some time to help Aradaki Ichito. ]
[Reward: Unknown.]
……
On the other side, Funina and Xavier also finished their conversation.
Funina enumerated the tasks that the team members were currently working on.
"Now that we have the leading male and female actors, Miss Xiao Gong can be the assistant director, and Paimeng will be the script supervisor. We are still short of a photographer and an action director."
Xavier looked at Ying who was sitting on the sofa with embarrassment and said to her, "Actually, I really wanted to give the photography job to Miss Ying."
Ying touched her belly and replied, "Sorry, I'm pregnant now. Even if I want to work as a photographer, Shao Yun won't agree."
Xavier was aware of this and decided to put the issue aside for the time being.
"Okay, let's put the photography job aside for now. We're still in need of a gun action director."
When she heard that they needed a gunfire action director, Funina thought quietly, "A gunfire action director..."
Then Funina's gaze turned to Shao Yun who was chatting with Kamisato Ayato not far away.
"Why do I feel like this candidate is easy to find..."
……
Xavier walked behind Shao Yun and said, "Mr. Shao Yun, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Shao Yun turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xavier said with difficulty: "Shao Yun, we are now in need of an action director for the actors to use the rifle. Can I ask you..."
When Shao Yun heard that he was asked to be the action director, he pointed at himself in surprise and asked, "Action director? Me, are you sure?"
Xavier clasped his hands together and begged, "Please, Mr. Shao Yun, time is tight, the filming will start tomorrow! I have already talked to Funina and can arrange a role for you as a reward!"
Shao Yun looked at Xavier who was begging desperately, and couldn't help asking: "No, I...can you give me a reason? Why did you choose me as the action director?"
When Xavier heard Shao Yun asking for a reason, he thought for a moment and then said, "Because, Funina said you can use a gun rifle, and... Ying and Paimon are looking forward to this movie."
Seeing Xavier say this, Shao Yun was also convinced.
"You said that...Okay, I'll help."
……
Seeing that Shao Yun agreed, the problem of action guidance was also solved.
"The action director has been confirmed, so the next step is the photographer. Who should I choose?"
Shao Yun then suggested: "How about Miss Charlotte?"
When Xavier heard this, he was not as excited as he had imagined, but rather a little bit unbelievable.
"Miss Charlotte? Can we really ask her to help? She is the ace reporter of the Steambird Newspaper. Will she have time?"
Shao Yun said calmly: "Let's give it a try. I'll go find Miss Charlotte."
……
Steambird Press.
At the gate of the newspaper office, the editor-in-chief, Miss Oufu, was discussing with Charlotte her plans for the Thousand Souls Festival.
"Charlotte, what are your plans for this Thousand Spirits Festival?" asked Miss Oufu.
Charlotte said energetically, "Of course it's an interview. There will definitely be a lot of news material during the Thousand Spirits Festival!"
Miss Ou Fu looked at Charlotte, who was so excited, and suggested with a wry smile: "Have you ever thought about taking a holiday? This is the Thousand Spirits Festival..."
Just then, Shao Yun came over and said, "Hello, Miss Charlotte! Miss Ou Fu, I'm sorry to bother you."
Charlotte turned around and greeted, "Oh, Mr. Shao Yun, hello, what can I do for you?"
Shao Yun pointed at Charlotte and said, "I'm here to see you. I have a part-time job with good pay. See if you're interested."
When Charlotte heard about the well-paid part-time job, she immediately became interested.
"Part-time job? What kind of part-time job?"
Shao Yun told Charlotte that Xavier was currently filming "The Two Gunslingers" and was in need of a photographer.
After listening to this, Charlotte scratched her chin and said while thinking, "I see, the reward does sound generous, but I'm still thinking about finding more materials and reporting during the Thousand Spirit Shadow Festival... Maybe I can't take this job."
Seeing this, Shao Yun did not give up, but asked: "Are you sure?
During the filming of the movie, the participating teams will not reveal the details to you, and you should be busy on the day of the film evaluation and award ceremony."
"In our team, Funina is the chief director. Don't you want to interview her more while we are taking a break and eating our working lunch?"
When Charlotte heard that Fernina was the chief director, she said with great joy, "What! You said that Lady Fernina is going to be the chief director of the film "The Two Musketeers"!"
Seeing that Charlotte was interested, Shao Yun continued, "What do you think? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are you sure you want to refuse it?"
Charlotte was completely convinced and quickly agreed, "No problem! I've already thought of a title. Funina's comeback! A new film by a famous director, Charlotte's exclusive report! It's a good idea!"
