transparent weirdo 江户川乱步 1099Words 2018-03-15
A person invisible to the naked eye is causing trouble everywhere. The police have noticed and the newspaper office has received a lot of reports, but this rumor is too bizarre, neither the police nor the newspaper office can confirm it, so naturally there is no way to investigate it. Unexpectedly, this "air man" finally made a move and stole the expensive jewelry.You two know the Daihodo in Ginza, right?Very famous jewelry store.The incident happened last night. The Dabao Hall sent away the last guest and was about to close when the door of the jewelry display cabinet opened by itself, and the treasure of the store—a priceless jewelry seemed to be grabbed by someone. Some of them flew out, fluttering in mid-air.

At that time, the shopkeeper went into the back room, and the two guys went out to close the shop. There was only one young guy in the shop.Seeing the jewelry floating in the air, he screamed "Oh!" and was stunned.Could it be that someone had caught jewelry with a thread hanging from the ceiling?But the ceiling was so white with plaster that there were no gaps, let alone threads moving around. Could it be that the jewelry has become fine?The clerk shivered, but he mustered up his courage and walked over to grab it. Unexpectedly, the jewelry was like a fish in the water, escaping back and forth, and slowly moved to the door of the store... In a blink of an eye, it ran outside!The young clerk chased after him clamoring, the clerks outside the store also followed him, and the shopkeeper also came out from the back room. Passers-by watched the excitement, but the jewelry had disappeared without a trace—the priceless treasure of the shop had grown legs, slipped away.

The store quickly called the police, and when the investigators came to the scene, they felt that the case was nothing like a fairy tale, and they had no way to start.They suspected that this was caused by the "air man" who was causing trouble in Tokyo, but unfortunately they didn't have any clues.The news of the theft of Dabaotang's jewelry was only reported to the newspaper office this morning, so it didn't catch up with the morning paper, but it was published in the evening paper in a large space.You go home and read the newspaper. The title is "Unheard of Weird Event, Air Man Appears in Ginza".

At Toyo Shimbun, I was responsible for following up and reporting on this incident, and I was the one who wrote that article.I wanted to expose the true face of the "air man", so I have been walking around since the morning, and luckily, I bumped into that masked guy.I didn't think he was an "air man" at first, but seeing a wax figure walking on the street is something that no reporter would miss, and I followed him before you found him. Who knew that he actually looked at the window of the antique shop, and he was staring at the Buddha statue in the middle.I suddenly felt something was wrong with this guy, the mask might be empty.If he is really "air man", the Buddha statue is in danger.Maybe he would take off his clothes afterwards, become transparent, and attack the Buddha statue.I saw that you continued to follow him, so you entered the antique shop and reminded the boss to keep the small Buddha statue safe.You probably don't know that it is a Buddha statue made in the era of Emperor Tuiko, which is much more valuable than the treasure of the town store in Dabaotang.

Today I finally saw the "air man" with my own eyes.What I saw a few days ago was just a blur. Today I saw him take off his clothes and mask, and I also confirmed with my own eyes that the clothes and mask are empty. You two can testify for me. Three people with six eyes , can be seen clearly. Tonight, the photography team of our newspaper office will go to take pictures for you.Tomorrow's newspaper will commend you for your brave actions, and mention that the three of us witnessed the "air man" with our own eyes. It must be a full page. Let's stop here today, don't worry your parents.Uncle, I have a request. If you see that wax figure next time, please follow him, find out his whereabouts, and call me later.this is my name card.
