Genshin Impact: Kurumi is shocked, the God of Light is right beside her.

Chapter 240 The Book Theft Case Alarms Everyone

"A book? What book? I was kidnapped by you after I woke up in the cabin. How could I have had time to commit the crime? Besides... how could a bard like me like a book?"

After saying that, Barbatos crossed his arms in a defiant manner.

"Ha, prisoners usually claim they are innocent."

“Wait, Barbatos, I can prove your innocence.”

After saying that, Xunfeng reached out and touched the air, and in the next instant, a light and shadow image suddenly appeared.

Seeing Barbatos grinning and fast asleep, Kujo Sara awkwardly touched his arm.

"Uh... cough cough, in that case, I guess I misunderstood you... But, did you hear any noise while you were sleeping?"

"The noise... It's normal for people to be moving supplies around in the warehouse, right? All I heard was a lot of noisy footsteps."

After saying that, Barbatos shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help.

"Fine, I'll investigate further."

After saying that, Kujo Sara turned around helplessly and led her team away from there, heading back to the warehouse, seemingly to search for details and clues about the case.

Watching her hurried departure, Xunfeng lowered his head and stroked his chin.

"Although I don't know what that book is, it seems to be quite important."

Meanwhile, Kurumi, recalling Kujo Sara's words, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"The Record of Shen Qiu Picking Up the Sword... Wasn't this book written by Xing Qiu?!"

"Oh? Miss Hu Tao, you know the author of this book?"

As she spoke, Ayaka Kamisato tilted her head curiously.

"Xingqiu is the second young master of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild in Liyue Harbor~ We used to play together a lot when we were kids, and we've kept in touch more or less since we were little. I never expected... that Xingqiu's book would be stolen! If he finds out, he'll probably be very upset, right?"

After saying that, Hu Tao clenched her fist and then waved it in the air, as if she could punch the book thief from a distance.

"Hu Tao, I never expected that the author of this book is your good friend. In that case, I've decided to go with you to find the book thief."

"A friend of a friend is a friend, I'll go too!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Funina confidently put her hands on her hips.

"I've also heard about this book. I heard it was the novel that Yaedo was going to present as the grand finale on the last day of the Rongcai Festival. I never expected it to be stolen. I will ask my brother to send someone to investigate this matter. Until the results are in, I will also investigate with you."

After saying that, Ayaka Kamisato put away her fan and smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Hirayama, who had been standing to the side lost in thought for a long time, wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes.

Only after noticing his movement did everyone realize what was happening.

Only Sara and the members of the Tenryo Envoy's squad left; the editor-in-chief seems to still be there.

"Thank you all for your help in investigating this matter. The responsibility for the lost book lies with our inadequate precautions. If you find any clues, I, Hirayama, will remember your kindness."

the other side.

Abedo and his companions asked around at the entrance of Yaedo Hall for a long time, but the editor inside still stammered and couldn't tell them the whereabouts of "The Record of Finding the Sword in Autumn," which aroused his suspicion.

"Didn't Editor-in-Chief Hirayama say he would send me the latest chapter of this book? Why can't I see the illustrations that I personally helped with?"

"I'm sorry, Professor Bai'e, the book is still on its way. Please wait a while."
