The road of the demon detective

Miko sat slumped on a bench in the garden by the side of the road, almost unable to even move her fingers.

For three days, Nero forced her to travel all over the surrounding areas for various reasons, searching for information on what he called a "mystery". Sleeping and eating were almost done on vehicles, not to mention She stopped to rest, and she didn't know if she would be able to find the "mystery" if she continued like this, but the day when she became a Buddha must not be far away.

What's even more infuriating is that most of the information that Nero made her collect was useless. If it was really related to the "mystery", the devil would have gone out in person long ago, instead of staying in the office and using the phone to remotely control it. she.In other words, this is just another way that the devil came up with to torture her.

——Well, at this point, it should be said that Miko still knows Nero quite well.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Mizi?"

Miko raised her head, and a casually dressed young man wearing black-rimmed glasses stood in front of her.

"Ah, it's Mr. Haokou, long time no see!"

Jiekou Yuya, who belongs to the Intelligence and Crime Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, can be called a genius in computer networks.

"What is Miss Mizi doing here? She looks very tired."

Mizi wrinkled her small face and couldn't help complaining about her suffering.

"I'm about to die of exhaustion! I've been running a lot in the past three days, and I can't stop for a moment."

Houkou looked sympathetic.He didn't ask Mizi the reason for working so hard, thinking that there was no other possibility except for that person's order.

"How pitiful! Why don't I treat Miss Mizi to eat!"

He saw a stall selling food not far away, and said something casually, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.

Sure enough, Mizi who was dying just now jumped up when he heard this, and asked with bright eyes:

"Really? Mr. Haokou is really kind!"

Seeing her shining eyes, Houkou felt his scalp tingle, but unfortunately it was too late to change his words.

10 minute later.

Yazi was holding a lot of takoyaki and other snacks, with a happy expression on his face.But Haokou looked at his flat wallet, wanting to cry but not tears.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Haokou doesn't seem to have a girlfriend either!"

Miko who ate the sauce like a child suddenly said thoughtfully.

Startled, Houkou subconsciously clenched the wallet in his hand.He turned his head, showing an overly bright smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about! For me, the computer is everything! I don't need a girlfriend or anything! Yes, the computer is my lover!"

Mizi said disappointedly: "Well, then there is no other way. I originally wanted to say that if Mr. Haokou doesn't have a girlfriend, maybe we can try dating."

Houkou's body froze.

The gentle wind blows the golden soft hair of the girl in front of her, her black jade-like eyes are bright and clear, and her pink lips are stained with dark sauce, which looks very delicious.Unknowingly, the girl has become so cute, exuding the unique charm of women.

What's more valuable is that under this lovely appearance, there is a warm and strong heart that can understand the pain of others, care for others.

"that--"

Houkou blushed and looked away.

"actually, I--"

At this moment, a deafening and frightening music came from Miko's handbag.

The indescribable weird and terrifying sound knocked the nearest Mizi and Haokou to the ground, and even the passers-by around fell down because of fright. The chaos in the scene was no less than a small earthquake.

Miko covered her ears with one hand, and reached into her bag with the other hand to find the phone, and pressed the stop button.The sound finally stopped, and the people present suddenly felt like they had survived the catastrophe.

Houkou sat on the ground with a dazed expression, his glasses tilted to one side.

He stammered and asked, "Miss Mi, Miss Mizi, what is that voice?"

Miko smiled dryly.

She couldn't say that this was actually the ringtone specially made by the devil to let his servant No. [-] receive his orders immediately, and he forcibly put it in her phone regardless of her objection.

It has to be said that the devil always has no shortage of new inspiration and talent in torturing people.

Although Haokou didn't get an answer, he still guessed something from Mizi's expression.He stood up and patted the dust on his clothes, his movements suddenly paused, his eyes fixed on a certain point.

"What's wrong?" Miko asked strangely.

Houkou stared at the bench they had just sat on.Behind the bench is a large round flower bed more than one meter above the ground. The outside of the flower bed is surrounded by concrete and inlaid with decorative mosaic marble.In one small spot the concrete has splintered, embedded with something that shouldn't have been there.

—It was a flattened metal bullet.

The light seemed suddenly dimmed.

Miko, who was feeling strange, looked up and happened to meet Nero who was bending over and looking down at her.The devil's handsome face looked extremely evil because of the faint light in his eyes and the wide corners of his mouth.

"Nie, Nero—"

"You bug, how dare you disobey my order! When did we allow you to stop and rest?!"

"Because I happened to meet Mr. Haokou...ah, let go, let go, it hurts—"

Yazi was grasped and kneaded by Nero like dough.

"Hmph, dare to refute!"

"Help, help! My back is about to break!"

When Qiaokou heard the movement, he turned his head and saw Mizi hanging on Nero's arm in the shape of mosquito-repellent eyes.

His eyes dimmed slightly.

(Sure enough...)

He stepped closer and heard Nero enter the good assistant mode, and said with concern:

"When I got the news that Grandmaster was being attacked, I rushed over immediately. Fortunately, Grandmaster is safe and sound. Oh, Mr. Haokou is also here. What's going on?"

Houkou cheered up and returned to the confident computer genius he was before.

"According to the calculation of the bullet's flight angle, wind speed and wind direction and other factors, it can be determined that the bullet was shot from the building opposite. At that time, I was startled by the ringing of Miss Mizi's cell phone, and I managed to escape."

As he spoke, he pointed to a high-rise residential building across the street.

Nero touched his pointed chin: "Is that building? The distance will not exceed 200 meters."

"There are no obstacles in the middle, and today's wind is not too strong. Basically, any sniper can complete this kind of shooting, and the bullets used are also very common. And—"

Houkou paused, and subconsciously glanced at Mizi.

"—Judging from the position where the bullet was last shot, there is no doubt that the target of the shot was Miss Yako."

Mizi was taken aback: "Eh? It's me?"

Nero's eyes flashed, and he squeezed Mizi's cheek hard.

"Oh, it must be the master who solved many cases and unknowingly made enemies, didn't he, master?"

Mizi couldn't speak, so he could only stare at someone angrily. The consequence of doing so was that someone pinched harder.

At this time, a policeman came quickly and said a few words to Huangkou.

"I have found the room where the sniper was shooting, do you want to go and have a look together?" Haokou asked.

Nero immediately showed a bright assistant-like smile, holding the mizi in his hand.

"Of course! The master said that for the reputation of the detective, he must catch the prisoner with his own hands."

The three of them came to the 1802th floor of the residential building. The front of Room [-] was cordoned off, and a police officer was standing outside the door.

There are quite obvious signs of prying on the door, and it is obvious that the prisoner broke in by force.

The layout of the room was no different from that of an ordinary residence, and several forensic personnel were busy collecting fingerprints.The windows facing the street were wide open, allowing a clear view of the park across the street.

A detective reports on the investigation so far.

"The owner of the house is named Yamazaki. Mr. Yamazaki and his wife went out to visit friends and were away all day. In addition, Mrs. Kimura next door was entrusted by Mr. Yamazaki to help feed the goldfish he raised. She came in to feed the fish about an hour ago. At that time, everything was normal in the house. After that, Mrs. Kimura went out to buy things in a nearby supermarket, so I don’t know what happened later. There was only an old man in the room 1 on the other side, and he didn’t hear any special movement because he couldn’t hear anything. "

"I see."

Nero's deep voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

"The master said that the prisoner must have seen the neighbor's wife who came out after feeding the fish food. He guessed that this family was not at home, so he decided to use this place as a spot for sniping. It can be seen from the fact that the gate was forcibly opened."

"You mean that the prisoner just happened to see Miss Miko, so he decided to target her?"

"Of course not. What the master meant was that the prisoner has been following the master, looking for opportunities to strike, but because the master has been running around collecting information for the past few days, he has never been able to find a chance to do so, until the master met Mr. Haokou earlier. Stopped. The prisoner thought it was a good opportunity and decided to do it.

"To be able to judge a suitable sniper location in such a short period of time, the prisoner must be experienced. Judging from his eagerness to do so, the sniper master did not come from his own will, otherwise he could have waited for a while and settled in a safer place. The prisoner should act under the circumstances. The prisoner should be taking orders from others, and the master messenger asked him to complete it within a few days before he acted in a hurry. These are the master’s analysis, am I right, master?”

Miko, who was grabbed by Nero's neck, could only nod desperately.

Houkou agreed: "With this analysis, some contradictions can be explained. If it is a professional killer, the police station should have relevant information, coupled with the data recorded by the surveillance equipment in the building, it is not difficult to infer that the prisoner identity of."

Miko had a surprised expression on his face: "Then this will close the case?"

"How is it possible! Although it failed this time, it is very likely that we will attack again; in addition, the possibility of the main messenger hiring other killers cannot be ruled out, so Miss Mizi still cannot let down his vigilance until the identity of the main messenger is found out."

Mizi's face collapsed: "Sure enough, I knew it would be like this!"

The demon licked the corner of his mouth, his ring-shaped eyes gleamed with hunting light.

"I smell the breath of 'mystery'!"

It was just after sunset when Nero and Yako walked out of the residential building.

Looking at the fiery red sunset, Miko somehow felt a slight constriction in his chest, and couldn't help but sighed.

"It's obviously a guy who is more dull than a slug, what can he sigh!" Nero complained coldly.

Miko said dumbfoundingly: "Hey, slugs are too much! ——It's just that I feel a little sad when I think that I am resented by someone who wants to kill me."

Miko had a bewildered look on his face.

She has experienced many incidents with Nero, and she also knows that human beings can kill for various reasons, sometimes out of hate, sometimes out of love, and sometimes for some inexplicable reasons.But when she herself became the target of sniping, she still couldn't help feeling panic and confusion, and even had a feeling that she had done something wrong.

Just thinking about it, her cheeks were suddenly pulled to the sides by Nero.

"It's a slug to praise you! Is it the rabbit's fault that the rabbit was eaten by the wolf?! What is the cause of human malice? Even I can't explain it clearly. How can you, a paramecium-like existence, understand? ?!"

Mizi covered her stinging cheeks, but the confusion and disappointment in her heart were also swept away.Of course, the pain is too late!

Although there is a problem with the method, Nero can be regarded as comforting her!Thinking of this, Mizi couldn't help feeling warm.

"Thank you, Nero."

Nero had an innocent expression on his face.

He put his face in front of Mizi, and said with an evil smile: "I have not forgotten that you disobeyed my order just now, I just thought of a new punishment method, you can try it out!"

Mizi couldn't help but turn pale when he thought of the organs and punishments in the office.

(Maybe I was killed by Nero before I was killed by the prisoner!)

(No~~~~~)
