Late spring, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture.

The spring breeze is warm, the chill of early spring has dissipated, and the weather is getting warmer as the greenness of the treetops becomes thicker.

On the busy street, the traffic lights beside the crosswalk turn from red to green, and the little girl in a black dress bounces lightly towards the opposite side of the road. She has a charming smile that does not match her age, with a delicate and beautiful look. There is a touch of blush on her fair cheeks, and the small mole on the corner of her lips makes her look more beautiful and charming. Her eyelashes are long and narrow, and her eyes seem to be full of charming glances—but in fact, she is only a little girl in her early ten years old. girl.

She walked to the middle of the road, and on the other side of the road a few steps away, the little boy carrying a schoolbag had already shown her an innocent and bright smile, opened his mouth, and wanted to call out her name——

"inside……"

A silver passenger car rushed across the pedestrian crossing.

It was almost close to the side of the car, even if it took just one more step, it would be crushed under the wheels. Suddenly, a force came from the little girl's arm, which dragged her back two steps, in a dangerous and dangerous way. Dodged the speeding passenger car that ran a red light.

"Too dangerous……"

"Yeah, I almost hit it..."

"Is that kid okay..."

The pedestrians passing by became commotion, and after seeing that the little girl seemed to be fine, they all stopped and went their own way.

The passenger car that ran the red light didn't stop and drove away. Perhaps the driver also realized that he almost hit someone just now, so he didn't dare to stop.

Letting go of the girl's arm, Nanako continued to walk towards the opposite side of the road slowly. The traffic lights had already started to flash, and when the last three-second countdown began, she and Gogol stood on the other side of the road. on the street.

"Lixiang! Are you okay!" The boy standing by the side of the street held Lixiang's arm nervously.

Almost brushing past death, the girl named "Lixiang" looked a little dazed, but after walking across the crosswalk, she also regained her senses, bent her eyes and said to the boy who held her back: "I'm fine. , Worry too."

"Scared me to death..." Youtai lowered her eyebrows, her whole face almost wrinkled, "I feel like my heart almost stopped."

"It's okay, Yuta." Lixiang held his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Lixiang wants to be with Yuta forever, so Lixiang won't die so early."

"I'm not talking about this—" Youtai paused, remembering the little girl who saved Lixiang just now, and hurriedly turned to find someone, but luckily the little girl and another boy were still standing by the side of the road, huddled together She lowered her head and fiddled with her mobile phone, not knowing what she was doing.

Yuta hurriedly pulled Lixiang and ran over, thanking the little girl: "Well, thank you for pulling Lixiang just now, thank you very much!"

Trying to study the location of the map with Gogol, Nanako raised her head when she heard a voice coming from her side, her reaction was half a beat slow, and she noticed Yuta and Satoka standing next to her.

"Huh?" She blinked her dark eyes slowly, looked at them with a small face paralyzed, and uttered a question word in her mouth.

"It was you who held me back just now." Lixiang walked out from behind Yuta, with her hands behind her back, tilted her head and smiled at Nanako, "Thank you for saving me."

Her smile looked a little weird, but Nanako couldn't tell what was so weird, she just shook her head and said to her, "It's okay."

They thanked them and left together. Nanako and Gogol studied the map for a while, finally figured out which way to go next, put away their phones, and walked towards the other side of the street.

At the beginning of spring, Nanako had already entered the fourth grade.Compared with the third grade, she has grown taller, but she is still barely 1.3 meters, and she is still the shortest one in the class.

Compared with Nanako who is always shorter than her peers no matter how tall she is, Gogol grows very fast.He was two years older than Nanako, and when he was picked up, he was about the same height as Nanako, but now he has caught up to the height of boys of the same age.

When Xie Ye and Xie Ye measured their height last time, Gogol was already over 1.5 meters tall, and when he stood with Ranpo, he was only slightly shorter.Kunikida said it was because Gogol was Russian, and most Europeans were taller.

Although Kunikida comforted her in this way, Nanako felt that it was very unconvincing to say such words from Kunikida, who was already 1.8 meters high.

Today is the weekend, Ranpo and Kunikida are coming to Sendai for a business trip, and Ranpo brought Nanako and Gogol with them, although he said he was taking Nanako out to play, but both he and Kunikida were discussing with the police at the police station Regarding the case, Nanako and Gogol could only wander around by themselves. Ranpo just sent them out to buy some Sendai specialties, and brought them back to the detective agency when they returned.

Nanako searched for a long time with her mobile phone. She only knew that there seemed to be a lot of edamame-flavored dim sum in Sendai, such as mochi, daifuku, dumpling, cake rolls... There are all kinds of snacks. She found a restaurant with good reviews on Twitter The dim sum shop here specializes in all kinds of edamame-flavored dim sum. Many tourists and locals recommend this shop. It doesn’t seem to be very far from the police station.

It took her and Gogol 10 minutes to find the store according to the location on the map.Probably because this is a "net celebrity store", the store is not big, but there are many people queuing up, and there are several stores nearby that are also all kinds of "edamame".

Nanako got mixed up in the long queue at the door, and Gogol went to the tea house next door to buy two cups of edamame milkshakes. The packaging of the milkshakes was similar to that of milk tea, but there was only one small cup.While drinking their milkshakes, they moved forward at a slow pace with the team.

The milkshake is delicious. The milk and edamame taste very strong, sweet, but not greasy. It is refreshing and sweet in the mouth, but the straw is too long, which is a bit inconvenient to drink.

Nanako quickly finished her glass of milkshake and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, feeling that she hadn't had enough, as if one glass was not as much milk as she drank every morning.

Holding the empty cup, she raised her head and stared at Gogol who was standing beside him. Gogol bit the straw, noticed Nanako's gaze, looked down at her, his golden eyes blinked, and let go of his bite With the straw in his hand, he shook the milkshake in his hand at Nanako.

"I'm done drinking too~" There was only an empty glass left in his hand.

Feeling a little disappointed, Nanako lowered her head and scratched her hair, thinking whether to ask Gogol to buy another cup now, or to buy milkshakes after buying snacks. The line is almost up to them.

Before she could figure it out, the line moved one more person forward, and there were only seven or eight people left in front of them. One guest for one minute, that is, it would be their turn in another seven or eight minutes, not long , but not very soon, I don’t know how long it will take to go to the tea house to buy another milkshake.

"Do you want to have another drink?" Gogol asked her, turning his head, and his little braids fell down as he tilted his head.

"Yeah." Nanako nodded, bit the straw and took another sip, but nothing could be sucked from the finished cup, and the straw was connected to the empty cup, making a snoring sound.

She let go of the straw, looked at the empty cup in her hand, and said in a dry tone without any ups and downs: "...no more."

——"Do you want to drink mine?"

A packaged edamame milkshake suddenly appeared in front of Nanako's eyes.

A boy poked his head out from behind them, with short pink hair that was prickly like a hedgehog, a little taller than Nanako, with a hearty and bright smile on his face, holding a bag of milkshake that Nanako wanted to drink.

"I packed an extra cup and wanted to take it home to drink." The boy said quite familiarly, but he didn't seem too close, and his tone was natural and relaxed, "If you want to drink, this cup is for you. Just buy a small box of dumpling later and return it to me!"

The price of a small dumpling is about the same as a milkshake, and even 5 yen cheaper, which is almost negligible.

Nanako looked at the milkshake in his hand, then looked at his cheerful and healthy expression, handed the empty cup to Gogol, stretched out her own hand, took the milkshake the boy handed her, and took a serious look at it. Say thank you to the boy.

"You're welcome." The boy didn't seem to care at all, and chatted with them, "I'm Knotweed Yujin, are you here to travel to Sendai?"

Nanako lowered her head and inserted the straw, poked it several times, and finally poked the straw into the film: "No, Dad is on a business trip, come with Dad."

"That's right." Knotabagi Yujin showed a look of sudden realization, and Gogol ran to the teahouse next door and threw the empty cup, and came back soon.Knotweed looked at Nanako, then at Gogol, who was obviously a foreigner, and asked curiously, "Are you brothers and sisters?"

Having had another delicious milkshake, Nanako bit the straw and shook her head.

"That's a friend?" Knotweed guessed reasonably.

Nanako continued to shake her head.

The team moved one more person forward, and the three of them followed suit. Hu Zhang recalled the movies and comics he had seen, and began to use his imagination: "Then... is he your bodyguard? Or the housekeeper? ? A tutor with a super high IQ?"

Nanako shook their heads and said to him, "It's Wang Jiang."

"I see." Polygonum cuspidatus accepted the answer very well, and then raised his hand to greet Gogol: "Brother Wang Jiang, hello! I'm Polygonum cuspidatum!"

"It's not Wang Jiang~ it's Gogol!" Gogol corrected his wrong address.

"Oh... Hello, Gogol! I'm Knotweed!" Knotweed greeted him again, then Nanako, and recommended them as a local.

"I'm here to buy edamame dumplings for my grandpa. The dumplings in this store are delicious. You can buy one and try it! Super-highly recommended! Many people who come to travel will come to this store to buy dumplings to take home. This store started off as a dumpling shop, but as the business got better and better, it launched a variety of new snacks... Me? I like their mochi, but now it's getting harder and harder to get. Long queue..."

He seemed to be very familiar with this store, and recommended several kinds of dim sum to Nanako and Gogol. He talked a lot, but it didn't make people feel noisy, and his speech was calm and natural.

After chatting for a while, the line came up to them. Nanako bought the dango, mochi, daifuku and senbei he recommended, and bought him the agreed dango.

Knotweed took Duanzi and Mochi back home to look for grandpa, Nanako and Gogol also went back to the police station to look for Ranpo.

The job seemed to be over, Kunikida was talking to a police station, he was walking around in a chair, propping his head with a bored look on his face.

"Daddy." Nanako ran over to call him with a smaller bag, and Gogol behind him was carrying a big bag full of boxed gifts.

"Finally back!" After finally waiting for the snacks, Luanbu cheered up immediately, took the bag in Nanako's hand, and flipped through the snacks, "Really, it's so boring to just sit here like this , there is not even a bottle of soda, and there are only rice balls for lunch, does this mean that we need to bring our own bento next time on a business trip, but it is true that we should bring more thick snacks with us—"

Regardless of the police station standing next to him, he complained so bluntly, opened a bag of edamame mashed mochi, and asked Nanako while eating, "Did you encounter anything special when you went out?"

Nanako also took a mochi and ate it. She chewed hard on the sticky mochi, which was sweet and salty. She thought for a while, and then answered Luanbu: "When crossing the road, a car ran a red light, and a girl walked away. In front of me, almost got hit, and the car went away."

"As long as you adjust the urban monitoring system, you can find it." Luanbu said to her casually, "The patrol officers of the traffic police department will take care of that kind of thing."

Nanako let out an "oh" and didn't care too much. She bit the mochi and squatted in the corner with Gogol to grab the leaves of the potted plants.

After eating half a box of mochi, feeling half full, Luanbu stuffed the rest of the mochi back into the bag, turned to Kunikida and shouted: "Kunikida, it's time to go back! No matter how late We won’t be able to make it back to the detective agency for dinner!”

"Yes." Kunikida stopped the greetings with the police department and bid him farewell, "Then we will go back first. If you need our assistance in the future, please feel free to contact the detective agency. Thanks for your hard work."

The police department waved his hands and said in a very respectful tone, "It's hard work, thanks to the assistance of the detective agency this time, otherwise I don't know how long this group of criminals will have to escape. Especially Mr. Ranpo, it is really helpful." You are a great help to us, you are truly a detective!"

"Of course." Ranpo said with a look on his face, "If you encounter trouble next time, welcome to patronize the detective agency again, but remember to prepare soda and lunch."

The police department nodded.

Ranbu stood up, picked up a bag of snacks on the chair, and called Nanako who was squatting in the corner: "Nanako, go back!"

Stuffing the accidentally pulled leaves back into the branches, Nanako got up and ran back to Ranbu's side, and was led by him towards the outside of the police station. keep up.

Saying goodbye to the police station, Kunikida caught up with them.
