Chapter 40 - Chapter 040 : Duanmuh Shannchyuan

Iren and Yihshyong looked at each other. Shannchyuan knew they realized he wanted one of them to stay at home. Shannchyuan was also sure they were aware he wanted to take Jenqyih and Shinnshiow to Dafeisy Tower tomorrow morning. Jenqyih was the biggest in size, and Shinnshiow was the youngest. They were both healthy and strong.

After a few seconds of looking at each other, they finally did rock-paper-scissors because no one gave in. Iren loses, so tomorrow he has to stay at home.

"Okay, then tomorrow, you will stay at home with Yinqyueh," said Shannchyuan.

Iren smiled wryly. He nodded.

"I can't go anywhere?" asked Yinqyueh. She put on a pitiful face.

"It's too dangerous for you. Those criminals maybe are still looking for you around that place. Besides, when you are here, you are my responsibility. So for the sake of safety, I dare not take the risk," says Shannchyuan.

"Hmm .....," muttered Yinqyueh. "Fine. Tomorrow I'll just stay home. There is something I can do in the backyard."

There was silence for about three minutes. Then Yinqyueh asked.

"Making a place away from everywhere as the office of a club, isn't that strange?

"What do you mean?" Asked Shannchyuan.

Even though it hasn't been twenty-four hours to know Yinqyueh, Shannchyuan was more or less used to the things that Yinqyueh suddenly said or did. Just like this time when she was blurting something without a starting point.

"The unit Uncle Songfei leased in Dafeisy Tower. Is it not the headquarter of the detective and mystery club he manages?" Yinqyueh looked at Shannchyuan with an astonished look.

"No. It's not. That place is not their headquarter. Songfei once told me that the headquarter was in a building very close to some business center area. I don't know where exactly. Songfei had never even invited me there. The unit that Songfei rents in the Dafeisy Tower was just Songfei's private place he rents to store his personal belongings, as well as a place for him to retreat if he is in need of inspiration. Sometimes he and some of his friends also hold activities related to the detective and mystery club in that place. The building was very quiet. Since a year ago it was almost empty, so it was perfect for holding activities because hardly any neighbors would complain. The point is, that the place is not directly related to the detective and mystery club. "

Yinqyueh nodded after listening to Shannchyuan's explanation. Shannchyuan then continued reading the articles in a magazine that was in his grasp currently. But even though he continued reading, his ears heard all the conversations that were going on around him. Even occasionally, he glanced at Yinqyueh and his friends.

"And I don't think you need to call him 'uncle.' He's still young," said Yihshyong. He laughed.

"How old is he?" Yinqyueh asked.

"I don't know for sure either. Maybe twenty-seven or twenty-eight. But he's still under thirty," Yihshyong replied.

"How does Uncle know that he's not yet thirty?"

"He once said that he wanted to celebrate his thirtieth birthday by holding a spectacular game. At that time, he said that he had several years to prepare for it." Yihshyong explained what Songfei had told him.

"Fine. I call him 'Feige' then," said Yinqyueh.

"Ah! I forgot to tell Dahge something." Iren suddenly remembered something.

Shannchyuan stopped reading again. He turned to Iren. His eyes narrowed as if he couldn't see Iren clearly.

"Something like what?" asked Shannchyuan.

"This morning, Chioujen called. The company pulled him back to work at headquarters. So tomorrow morning he will go home here. Probably arrives at our house after 10 pm."

"Oh," said Shannchyuan. "Did you tell him anything about Songfei?"

"Not yet. I didn't tell him anything. From what I hear, he felt so excited. He only called for a while. The long-distance call cost is expensive. Furthermore, this morning I didn't know clearly yet about Songfei's matter," said Iren.

"So you haven't said anything about the lockers at the station either?"

"I didn't have time to say that on the phone. I think we'll just explain everything tomorrow night when he's here. After all, yesterday we moved some of his things there," said Iren.

"Can I change the television channel?" Yinqyueh asked. Apparently, the show currently being broadcast on the television screen made her bored.

"Oh! Go ahead. I didn't watch this program," said Shannchyuan. "But I don't know what about the others."

"I didn't watch this either. It's okay if you want to change it," said Yihshyong.

Iren nodded as a sign that he agreed.

Yinqyueh then switched the television channel. Several times she changed it until finally, she seemed interested in a news program. The news being broadcast was an interview with several mall visitors who experienced a strange incident as an explosion of light. It turned out that several dozen people were injured. No one was seriously injured, but still, they were victims of that unusual incident.

"Where did it happen?" asked Shannchyuan. Again, he turned his attention from the magazine he was reading to something else.

"At the mall near the train station nearby," said Iren.

"Which train station?" Asked Shannchyuan.

"Jongharng Station. Our favorite subway station," said Iren.

"You mean the big mall opposite the subway entrance and exit?"

"Right! That mall," answered Iren.

"When did it happen?"

Shannchyuan placed the magazine he was holding on to the table. It seemed that he wanted to have a grave conversation about this matter.

"Yesterday, as soon as Dahge walked out of the mall?" said Yihshyong.

"I don't understand. Yesterday, when I left the mall, it was quiet. There were hardly any people. How could there be so many victims?"

"What do you mean by quiet? The mall was full of visitors!" Yihshyong said.

Yihshyong's eyes widened as he said that. It was rare for Shannchyuan to see Yihshyong's eyes that big. Shannchyuan himself could not explain well either. Yesterday he had did feel odd. But because he had was hungry and tired, he just went home without thinking any further about it.

"It's true. It was full when I entered, but it was quiet when I came out," said Shannchyuan. Then he glared at Yihshyong. "How do you know that I visit that mall yesterday?"

"Yesterday, he saw you enter the mall," said Yihshyong, pointing at Iren.

Iren didn't want to budge. He was pointing his index finger at Yihshyong. At the same time, he said to Shannchyuan, "He was there too. He saw you at the mall. He said that you looked like you were looking for someone. Then you walked out of the mall."

Shannchyuan was stunned. He did not expect that yesterday his two friends saw him enter and be in the mall. If only they had greeted him and approached him on that occasion, maybe the series of events that happened to him would not have been the same.
