Seeing Yan Xiuze pick up his key and become motionless, the programmer was a little strange and asked cautiously, "Is there any problem?"
"Where did you buy this key accessory" Yan Xiuze raised the key in his hand, the rubber accessory on it hung right between the two of them, and it was a "funny" expression with a round face.
"I bought it at an accessory store in the northern district of Tiandu City."
The programmer was stunned.
"It's strange," Yan Xiuze muttered, the first thing he thought of was the mechanical puppet that exploded at the Tiandu Theater tonight, and at the moment before the explosion, he also made this "funny" expression.
"What did you buy this accessory for?"
Yan Xiuze continued.
"Why did I play with stickers before, so I bought a funny emoticon accessory to decorate the key."
Yan Xiuze pointed to the two pointed ears on this round face: "I also play stickers, but the funny expression of stickers doesn't have these two pointed ears."
"Maybe it's a high-quality imitation or something" The programmer shrugged his shoulders: "You know, generally this kind of image and expression will be protected by copyright, and most manufacturers will do some harmless secondary creation in order to solve the infringement problem."
But Yan Xiuze quickly fell into deep thought, and he remembered very well that the "funny" expression made by the mechanical puppet at that time, although it was composed of pixel dots, also clearly brought two pointed ears It's no coincidence Thinking of this, Yan Xiuze raised his head abruptly and asked the programmer, "Do you remember the specific address of that accessories store?"
Early the next morning, Yan Xiuze came to the northern area of Tiandu City according to the location provided by the programmer he rescued last night, looking for the accessories store.
Strictly speaking, Tiandu North is not the most prosperous area of Tiandu, and compared with Shidong District, where every inch of land is expensive, the housing prices in Shibei are much lower.
However, due to urban planning and related policy reasons, in recent years, the government has tilted a lot of resources in Shibei District, attracting many large enterprises at home and abroad to invest in construction, so it is a new prosperous area, especially loved by young people in Tiandu.
The location where Yan Xiuze is located at this time happens to be the most dynamic commercial area in the vicinity, and it also has the strongest ACG atmosphere in the entire Tiandu City, which is almost the best choice for young office workers and otaku to relax and socialize on their rest days.
Because of this, because Yan Xiuze's popularity at this time was already quite high, he had to wear a mask of a faceless man to cover his face, but fortunately, the main group in this business district is related to the second dimension, and Yan Xiuze's dress did not look too abrupt.
According to the programmer's brother's extremely accurate description, Yan Xiuze finally came to a store hidden in the depths of the alley after bypassing countless small alleys and alleys.
Looking at the signboard with "Worry Relief Grocery Store" printed on the top of his head, Yan Xiuze confirmed that he had not made a mistake.
However, when he heard the programmer brother mention the name of the store, he wanted to complain The name of this store is obviously the name of the grocery store that follows the trend of the famous Japanese mystery novelist Keigo Higashino's healing novel, and I don't know if the owner is a fan of Keigo Higashino's books.
Walking into this store, Yan Xiuze was immediately dazzled by the dazzling array of small goods.
Looking at all kinds of audio-visual CDs, magazine atlases, character figures, and all kinds of anime merchandise, small accessories, etc., it is really a veritable "grocery store" The owner of the shop was sitting on the only wooden chair in the shop, reading a paper book with relish. took a closer look, and it was really a detective novel related to suspense and reasoning.
Seeing a guest come in, he put down the novel in his hand and greeted Yan Xiuze: "Is there anything you need?"
"Ahem boss, I'm here to find something."
Yan Xiuze deliberately lowered his voice, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on the photo album, held one of the pictures, and asked, "Boss, I heard that the key pendant on this picture was bought from you."
After staring at the funny round face with pointed ears on the picture for a long time, the boss seemed to have some impressions: "Well, that's right, I did get a batch of these accessories." ” "Where did you get your money from, which manufacturer?"
"No, it's not a product I bought in bulk."
The boss shook his head: "I remembered that you mentioned this, and I asked a friend abroad to act as a human courier to help me bring them back." ” "Foreign" Yan Xiuze was stunned: "What do you mean, this batch of pendants is still imported" "Well, what's wrong?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just a little curious" Yan Xiuze smiled dryly: "This funny expression doesn't seem to be quite the same as ordinary funny, and there are two pointed ears I thought it was a counterfeit made by a domestic manufacturer in order to avoid copyright disputes." ” "Hah, you're wrong."
The boss smiled: "This expression is not made by the manufacturer out of thin air, but there is a prototype." ” "Prototype" Yan Xiuze's heart moved.
"Yes," the boss nodded: "This expression is exclusive to a particularly niche military forum in the United States." ” Sure enough, Yan Xiuze shouted in his heart, and really let himself find a clue Zheng Zhu was processing documents in the base of Line 1 at this time, and yesterday's explosion at the Tiandu Theater suddenly raised the security alert level of Tiandu.
He was also a little anxious, and his superiors put the pressure on him to solve the case all of a sudden, fortunately Su Shaoqing helped investigate, otherwise he really didn't know where to start.
The guy called the Mechanical Wizard Don't let me catch you was sulking, but the door of his office was opened without warning, and an afterimage suddenly came, stirring up a wave of anger, blowing the paper documents on Zheng Zhu's desk everywhere "Who" Zheng Zhu was about to go crazy, but found that the person who came in was Yan Xiuze, who had just quarreled with him yesterday, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Zheng Ju do me a favor" Yan Xiuze grabbed Zheng Zhu's shoulders, who were still a little trance-like, and said urgently.
"What's the Hurry" "Help me look up an American military forum" "Military Forum of the United States" Directly breaking free from Yan Xiuze's restraint, Zheng Zhu frowned and said suspiciously: "What are you doing to check the military forum?"
"Don't you want to know the true identity of that mechanical wizard" Yan Xiuze said, "I just got a little clue about him" "And this military forum may be the key to finding mechanical wizards
