After listening to Song's account, Silence had a rough guess in her heart. She realized that the manuscript might be a tool used by someone who either admired or was aware of Xiao Baihe, attempting to expose the hidden truths behind the scenes.
To verify this suspicion, Silence decided to delve deeper into the investigation of those puzzles. Utilizing her detective skills and network resources, she gradually uncovered the truth hidden behind the fog. It turned out that these cases were all connected to a massive Criminal Organization that used its power and resources to cover up its crimes.
With enough evidence in hand, Silence collaborated with the police and successfully dismantled this Criminal Organization. The once seemingly unsolvable mysteries were gradually unraveled.
However, for Silence, this investigation was far from over. She understood that there were still many truths waiting to be uncovered in this world. And she would forever remain as the Detective Silence, who listens in silence and seeks light in darkness.
As the Criminal Organization crumbled, the night sky over Tokyo seemed to clear up significantly. Silence stood by the window of a silent café, gazing at the streets outside that were gradually returning to calm, yet her heart was anything but tranquil. She knew that although this battle had been won, the darkness and complexity revealed behind it were far deeper than she had initially imagined.
At that moment, the café door gently pushed open, and a man dressed in a trench coat with a stern expression walked in. He strode directly to the bar and stood silently before Silence, watching her with his deep-set eyes without uttering a word.
"You've come," Silence said without looking up, her voice revealing an indescribable calmness and determination.
The man nodded slightly and slowly spoke, "You are more remarkable than I imagined, Silence." His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate one's heart.
"Who are you?" Silence finally looked up, meeting the man's gaze without a hint of fear in her eyes.
The man smiled faintly, though there was a trace of bitterness in his smile. "I am Yuri's Brother, and I am the one who has been observing you from the shadows."
Silence's heart jolted at his words. She had never thought that the true mastermind behind the manuscript would be Xiao Baihe's relative.
"Why did you do this?" Silence asked. Her voice was soft but carried a strong sense of inquiry.
"For my sister's wish," he replied solemnly. "Xiao Baihe's greatest desire was to expose the evils hidden in darkness. Though she has passed away, her spirit has always inspired me. I knew that I could not fulfill her wish alone, so I chose you, Silence —a detective with extraordinary insight and sense of justice."
Upon hearing this, Silence felt a mix of emotions swirling within her. She had never imagined that her actions would be closely tied to Xiao Baihe's wishes. After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke again: "Your methods may be somewhat extreme, but I understand your intentions. Rest assured, I will continue forward to uncover more truths and ensure Xiao Baihe's spirit lives on."
The man showed a flicker of relief in his eyes after hearing this. He nodded gently before turning to leave, leaving behind only one phrase: "Take care, Silence."
As the door closed softly behind him, tranquility returned to the café once more. Silence stood alone at the bar, watching the figure fade into the distance outside with a heart full of determination and strength. She knew that there was still a long road ahead, but she would no longer be alone because Xiao Baihe's spirit would walk alongside her.
