"Oh! It's really big here—the name is Red Castle, it's true, it's like a castle."

Yongjin and Kaneki, who arrived by tram, stood downstairs of the Miracle Paradise Hotel before three o'clock in the afternoon.

Yongjin put his hands in front of his forehead and raised his head to look up at it like a canopy.The whole building is brick red and looks like a castle on the outside. Inside, the lobby view from the door alone is already very luxurious.

The two were about to walk in when Yongjin's cell phone rang.

"Huh? Sorry, wait for me, Kaneki."

Kaneki looked back at him, Yongyuan answered an unknown call.

"Hey?"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Yongjin Yingliang?"

"Ah... I am."

"My surname is Takata. I heard that Mr. Yongjin is a famous college student detective in Tokyo. Here is a commission. I hope you can accept it."

Knowing that I am a college student and still using honorifics...it seems serious?

Yongjin raised his eyebrows.

In order not to intrude on his time with Kaneki on weekends, he did not go out to work like his peers, but chose to accept commissions like a detective and solve incidents to earn extra money, and gradually his reputation spread.

"What kind of commission is it?"

"I am the secretary of the official client. Due to some reasons, the client cannot contact you directly. Please forgive me. We hope that you can bring your relatives or friends to the hotel directly in front of Miracle Paradise around 09:30 tomorrow morning— —meeting in front of Red Castle."

Forever scratching the cheek.

"...I'm at the gate of Red Castle right now, and I'm also bringing the friends in your condition with me."

"Ah! This is... I'm rude, I'm going to ask the client for instructions."

Jin Mu walked back, "What's wrong?"

Yongjin covered the microphone and said in a low voice, "The detective is commissioned, right here." He pointed to the top of the castle.

"What a coincidence?" Jin Mu looked at the time, "I'll do the check-in first, and you go talk to the client?"

"He seems to want us to go together."

"Then I'll store my luggage first, and then go with you." Jin Mu picked up Yong Jin's large luggage bag and walked straight to the hotel.

Not long after, there was a response from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Yongjin, the client said that if you directly commission now, your remuneration will be increased by 85% due to the shortened completion time. All expenses during the commission period can be reimbursed, totaling [-] yen."

Always narrowed his eyes vigilantly.

Those who spend a lot of money... generally don't have any simple tasks.

"Yeah... can I listen to the content first and then decide?"

"Sorry, we can only inform you after you agree."

"Then at least tell me the limited time? So I won't be able to arrange things later."

"The commission must be completed before ten o'clock in the evening."

Kaneki is back.

"...I'll think about it and get back to you soon."

When he hung up the phone, Kaneki asked him how he was doing.

Yongjin scratched his head, "It's a very generous commission."

Jin Mu smiled, "Being moved by money?"

"Oh... I also have some valuables that I want to buy." Yongjin hooked his neck and said in a tone of asking for advice, "That... gold and wood... a total of 85? You can get it as long as you finish it before ten o'clock tonight. That much money? You know, I won't miss it..."

Jin Mu had a half-smile, "Fat Song, the point."

"Cough," he cleared his throat and pretended to be serious, "the money earned by your own hard work is the most fulfilling—"

"Actually, I think it might be an interesting case, so I plan to take it on."

Unexpectedly, Ying is the kind of person who is interested in mysterious things.

"I promise to bring myself back safely!!" Yong Jin swore with three fingers up, "Really! I just want money! I'll come back when it's resolved. Even if there are insiders, I will definitely not pay more attention!"

"Then go." Jin Mu said, "It's rare to find a case you're interested in."

Yongjin was extremely moved, and hugged Kaneki tightly: "I'm sorry, little Kaneki!! I will make it up to you!!"

"It's too loud." Jin Mu raised his hand and flicked his fingers on his forehead, with a soft expression, the kind of gentleness that students in Class E would definitely shudder at, "Then you will take care of the housework for the next two months."

"Wuuuu Jinmu, you are so kind——I will definitely come back early!"

"I believe you."

Ying is very smart.Jin Mu even felt that there was nothing in this world that could stop Yong Jin.

Yongjin contacted the secretary Takada again.After counting for 10 minutes, the male secretary with squinting eyes went downstairs and led them to the top floor.

That's a big meeting room.Intricately decorated crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and the walls are ornately decorated, very similar to the interiors of many modern castles.There is a long table in the middle, facing the front is a large display screen and several small bookshelves.

Kaneki looked at them a few more times, and found that they were all foreign masterpieces and novels, without any specific category, they were very miscellaneous.

Several floor-to-ceiling windows are very large, and the outside direction can just see the panorama of Miracle Paradise, and the direct sunlight shines down.

"The atmosphere of the whole hotel is very luxurious." Kaneki sighed.

Compared with Brother Jingwu's private villa.

"Take a seat, please." Gao Tian said.

Kaneki and Yongjin sat at the one or two seats on the left side of the long table, Takata bowed to let them wait a while, and left by himself for a while.

Yongjin leaned comfortably on the chair, looked up at the lamp, then turned around to look at the curtains.

"But this chair is a bit delicate..." He rubbed the armrest, "At least it's the kind of chair in a western restaurant, right? It's nothing to put it like a boss chair."

"This is a conference room, maybe it's too extravagant when you don't want to have a meeting?" Kaneki guessed wildly.

"The design is luxurious enough."

The two of them didn't chat a few words, Gao Tian came back with two things, and put them one by one in front of them.

"this is?"

It was something like a watch, a bit like a contact ID in a public storage room, it also showed the time, with two small lights of unknown purpose, one red and one green.

Takata explained: "It's part of the remuneration. The Miracle Paradise's free access ID is valid until [-] o'clock tonight and before Miracle Paradise closes, and all meals are provided for free."

"Oh." Yongjin picked it up and looked at it in surprise, "Jinmu, you can play in it as much as you want before I come back."

Jin Mu put it on his wrist, and said helplessly: "I originally came to play with you, how can I enjoy myself when you are not here?"

Takada said with a smile: "Mr. Yong Jin can also go to Miracle Paradise to have fun with friends if he finishes his work as soon as possible."

"I'll be there soon." Yong Jin also put on his ID, his expression was not too strong, Kaneki who knew him well could easily read the confidence in it.

In normal times, he would never show it so ostentatiously... I guess he did it on purpose for me to see.Kaneki has nothing to do with this guy who starts to twitch as soon as he reveals how powerful he is.

Just like a peacock courting.He complained from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't help being proud and worried about the other party.

"Okay, then I won't bother you, call me if you have anything to do." Jin Mu thought that they might be about to start talking about business, so he stood up and left, "I'm leaving, work hard."

"Oh~"

The door of the meeting room was closed.After Gao Tian sent Kaneki away, he naturally locked the door.

"Next..." Yongjin slightly restrained his laughing face, crossed his fingers on his chin, his eyes were hidden and sharp, "Where is Mr. Client?"

"He's somewhere you don't know."

Takata still squinted his eyes, making it hard to see through the emotions inside.

He pressed the button in his hand, and the curtains beside the floor-to-ceiling windows swished down automatically, blocking out a piece of light, only a little so that the room would not be completely dark.

The monitor hung on the wall in front of the desk turned on.

What emerged was a man half-hidden in the shadows, his face barely visible.

"Thank you for coming, I am the client." He said, the respect and apology in his tone did not seem to be fake, "Please forgive me, for some reason, I cannot let you see my true face."

The wanted?

There is always an inconspicuous micro-movement of the fingertips.Others couldn't see the change in his thinking.

"I invite you here today because I hope you can solve a case." The client continued, "But I will not reveal what kind of case it is. Finding out the case itself is also part of your job."

interesting.

There was no expression of doubt on the college student's face.Takata was a little surprised.This performance is much better than the previous Maori detective.

"Next, I will give a few hints, please use these as the basis for reasoning to solve the incident." The client suddenly smiled, "However, because your reasoning time is relatively short, after you pass the first hint of the test, I You will be provided with the contact details of two other detectives who are currently investigating."

"The other two?" Yong Jin raised his eyebrows.

"Yes. I have invited five detectives in total, and you are the sixth. The first two are still under investigation, two have given up, and one is currently here..."

The picture on the screen jumps and becomes a surveillance somewhere.A grown man yelled from inside.

The client uses honorifics, but sharply criticizes the other party as an incompetent detective.

Yongjin watched the scene with cold eyes.

"Incompetent detectives don't need to live."

Accompanied by the client's ruthless words, the countdown timer sounded.It is divided into four pieces of monitoring from different angles, and one of the close-up shots shows the ID on the uncle's wrist.

It is exactly the same as the one worn by Yong Jin and Jin Mu.

Yongjin retracted his casual sitting posture and looked nervously at the screen.Under the cover of the table, he reached into his pocket and secretly turned down the volume of the phone, so that he could quickly dial the number without looking at it.

"Hey?"

Yongjin blocked the sound hole with his fingers, and a slight vibration told him that the other party was asking questions in doubt.

"Ying? What's the matter?"

Jin Mu just went downstairs and decided to take the luggage back to the room first.As soon as he got out of the stairs, he received a call from Yong Jin.But the person on the other side didn't say anything.

Accidentally pressed the dial key?

Jin Mu's eyebrows were clustered together, and he wanted to hang up, when there was a vague explosion sound, followed by a man's speech.

"Composition C-4, that is, a plastic bomb."

Kaneki's pupils narrowed sharply.

"It's installed in the Miracle Paradise ID." The man's voice was full of ease, as if blowing up someone to death was just a game for him, "The time I give you is only until ten o'clock tonight, before that, please find Find out the truth of a certain incident... If the incident cannot be resolved within the time, your ID will also explode."

Britain!

Jinmu gritted his teeth.He looked around, and in the distance, someone was walking along the corridor towards the elevator.

It's not convenient to stay here... The extra noise will only cause trouble for Ying.

Kaneki plugged in the earphones on the phone, picked up the bag that had been left aside just now, and strode towards the room.

The explanation on the phone continued.

"To give you some restraint, your ID cannot be removed. If it is removed by force without my removal procedure, it will explode on the spot."

Kaneki heard Eijin's deep voice.

"Where is the ID in Kaneki's hand?"

Kaneki subconsciously glanced at his wrist.There is nothing abnormal about the free pass ID, as if it is an ordinary prop.

The room has arrived.

Kaneki swiped his card to enter the room, turned on the do not disturb reminder, quickly closed and locked the door.Luggage is conveniently placed on the shelf.

He sat on the bed and stared at the screen of his phone engrossed.

"The ID in his hand is roughly the same as yours, but there is an extra function added to it." The man said, "This is the floor plan of Miracle Paradise. There are many sensors on its edge, which are connected to form an area. Hold the ID Once someone enters inside, the bomb in the ID will activate. If the ID tries to pass through the sensor again, it will explode on the spot.”

It's fine if it works only when you get in.

Jinki breathed a sigh of relief.

He hasn't dragged Ying down yet.

Ying is very smart.But Kaneki knew he was not without fear.The only thing that will trip him up is his own safety.

Fortunately, everything is still in time.

Yongjin asked the man, "What do you want?"

"Solve the incident before ten o'clock tonight, let alone 85 yuan, you can ask for as much detective fee as you want. But if you can't solve it, your ID and your friend's ID will explode."

"In addition, there is a GPS hidden in the ID. I will also monitor your every move. It is useless if you want to call the police."

"Tch." Yong Jin laughed sinisterly, the sweat from his temples revealed his nervousness, "It would be too boring to call the police. I don't want my beautiful weekend date to be disrupted by those stubborn guys."

What a ghost!Find your hiding place and I will take you to the police immediately!By the way, ask someone to charge you with a heavier crime! !

How dare you tie explosives to Jinmu...

He smirked, his fists creaked, and his eyes were cloudy.

You're still the most daring person I've seen over the years.

"So, I'm going to say the first hint: TAKA, subtract 3 from 8."

TAKA, 3-8.

Kaneki chewing these characters.The man's voice disappeared.Then there's the secretary's.

"Mr. Yongjin, please accept this. It is a hotline directly to the client. Even so, you cannot use this phone to call the client. This phone can only be used to receive instructions from the client. If the matter is resolved, Please call my number pre-stored in this phone, and then return to this place, the client will listen to the truth you have investigated."

"...Don't worry, it won't take long."

Crunch - bang.

"...Kanagi, did you hear that?"

"Ah." Jin Mu lay down on the bed, a little speechless, "This incident is indeed interesting enough."

"Stop kidding me. I don't want to risk your life."

"Are you kidding me? I'm just not nervous at all." Kaneki turned over and lay on his side, looking at the watch on his wrist that had jumped to zero after 1 minute.Three o'clock in the afternoon.

"not nervous?"

"Ah."

Just my own ID, it can be unlocked by cutting off my hand.But Ying didn't want me to hurt myself.And it's useless to just remove it, Ying still wears it on his hand.

"I'm not nervous, because I believe Ying won't let me die like this."

"Yes." Yongjin laughed, "My lord, Yongjin, has read the case reports all over the world, and I don't believe there is anything I can't find out."

"Then come on, I'm advanced to the amusement park."

"Huh? Are you still going in?"

"Why don't you go in? At least food and beverages are free. Besides the giant snake roller coaster in the sea, there are other fun things to do. Ying just watch me play happily, and you can work hard to investigate the case yourself. Who told you Had to take it."

"Hey——Obviously Kaneki also agreed! Why are you escaping responsibility at this time!"

They are quite normal.If the culprit who secretly longed for others to panic and have everything under his control noticed, he might vomit blood with anger.

"Then please ask Jinmu." Yongjin waited for the elevator and pressed the button to go to the first floor, "I just heard from him that there are two other detectives who have accepted the commission. They may have the same hostages as us, and they have even entered And speaking of detectives in Tokyo... I guessed and guessed that there are only Mori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi, and for all Japan, Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Detective."

"Except for Tan Baima, we are all acquaintances."

"Ah, maybe the hostages are the girls we met last time are still young."

"Ying wants me to go in and take care of them?"

"Yeah." Yong Jin said softly, "But if it's safe, your own priority comes first."

"I know. I won't be willful." Because I still want to be with you.

Yongyuan walked out of the hotel lobby, the sun was hot outside and the temperature rose.

The light grows brighter and the darkness clearer.

"Wait for me, Kaneki."

The author has something to say: the atmosphere of Yongyan is full of fun.

Hattori who is running to death: ...

Conan with a broken leg in the original book: ...

Mao Li, who was extremely nervous about her daughter: ...

Next, please watch the drama of the year: IQ, the show of the excellent series of Ying Zong

Kaneki: He's too smart and I can't help it (spread hands)

Speaking of which, when Aoyama designed the storyline...didn't you realize how rotten and astringent the combination of 3-8 is?
