Upon hearing Carl say so, Xiao Yi was taken aback.
"...Ah? You say the gentleman has long been dead? How is that possible? You must have mistaken someone else for him. After all, there are quite a few people with the same name; it's just a nickname, and it wouldn't be strange if other people used it too."
Carl then asked, "The gentleman I know of was the founder of a literary club and usually liked to wear a yellow suit. Xiao Yi, did the person who claimed to be the gentleman introduce himself in the same way?"
Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then nodded, "...Yes."
"Let's not mention the appearance; these characteristics are unique to the gentleman I knew in the whole town, and this is the only literary club in town, of that much I am certain," Carl said with a grave expression. "But... The gentleman, he died in the sudden tsunami that occurred earlier. I saw his body myself and confirmed his death."
