The road of the demon detective

Miko gently turned the doorknob, and carefully pushed the door open a crack.She was about to look in through the crack of the door, but a faint green eye and a mouth full of sharp and fine teeth suddenly appeared in front of her.

"what--"

With a scream, Mizi turned around and fled. Before he could take a step, someone grabbed him by the collar.She had to turn her head stiffly.

"Morning, morning, Nero..."

Nero lifted her up.

"You bug, are you finally willing to come back? How dare you escape from my hands! No one dares to do this even in the devil world! Maybe we should cut your stomach open to see how your courage grows !"

Miko watched Nero change into the arm of a long knife, sweating coldly.

"Well, I have a reason, let's look at this first!"

Yazi pulled out a stack of documents and put them between himself and Nero.Of course she wouldn't be so stupid as to throw herself into the trap without doing any preparations.This is the case information she obtained overnight by using the contacts accumulated over the past three years.

"Oh, there's a faint smell of 'mystery'."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

"For such a case, as long as the master is involved, there will be no problem."

Nero had a hearty smile on his face, and then his face changed, and he said in a low voice:

"So before that, let's solve the problem of punishment!"

He pushed open the door of the office, and Miko's eyes popped out immediately.

"No, don't...help me..."

She held onto the door tightly, but was still dragged in by Nero, and the door was closed immediately, and her mournful cry could be faintly heard.

after an hour.

After returning from sightseeing in the Santu River, he slumped on the passenger seat weakly, glaring at the demon in the driver's seat.

(Sure enough, liking something is definitely an illusion! How could I like Nero, and it’s not because my brain is broken!)

After Nero returned, he re-planned the capital chain of the firm, so that the firm had a special car again after Wudai left.Yazi also went to take a driver's license test for this purpose, but so far she has driven zero times.

But from this point of view, the devil's financial management ability is much stronger than that of a human being.

Nero stretched out a hand and patted Mizi's head like a puppy.

"It's strange, my generation has been very restrained just now, is it because the usual exercise is not enough?"

(No, it’s enough! Ordinary humans would have been killed long ago under such circumstances! ——Hey, so I’ve become a monster-like existence too?! Don’t—)

Miko thought while weeping.

Then she saw Nero's face approaching suddenly, and the tip of their noses almost touched.Mizi was startled, and his face immediately turned red.

"You, what are you doing? - No, you have to look ahead! Cars, carts..."

Nero turned the steering wheel and narrowly avoided an oncoming truck.

"So it's because of lack of sleep!" Nero showed the considerate expression of a good assistant, "Master, do you want to sleep for a while? It will take quite a while to reach the destination."

"Bastard! Don't say that after you almost murdered me!"

Miko, who picked up another life again, couldn't help but swear.

"Is Master not sleeping?"

Nero had a sad expression of being let down by someone with good intentions, but one hand had turned into a sharp claw.

Mizi shook his head vigorously, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep without daring to move.

(The damn bastard!)

Although thinking so in his heart, the corner of Miko's mouth couldn't help revealing a slight smile.

Nero glanced at Mizi who had fallen asleep within a few minutes, then looked at the rearview mirror, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Mizi woke up in a daze, and found that he was hanging in mid-air, with a cliff tens of meters high under his feet.She couldn't help but yelled out in fright.

"Hey, you're already awake. I was about to say that if you don't wake up on the count of three, I'll throw you down."

Miko turned his head vigorously, and sure enough, he saw Nero's face full of disappointment and boredom.

"Put me down!"

Finally able to keep her feet on the ground, she let out a small sigh of relief.She looked around and found that she had come to the destination of this trip, the village where the incident happened.

The victim, surnamed Gutian, was a female teacher who returned to her hometown to work a few months ago.After her arrival, several villagers saw her at the same time and in different places, and even at the same time as she died, she was seen walking in the forest some distance away from where the body was found.

The autopsy results showed that Ms. Gutian died of a heart attack. She had a bad heart. The local police could not find any other explanation, so they closed the case as a normal death.

"...the prisoner—it's you!"

After talking with several people related to the deceased, even without Nero's instructions, Yazi knew who the criminal was and how he committed the crime.Nero easily solved the trick set by the real murderer.

Although it was only a small "mystery", it more or less satisfied the hunger in Moren's brain, so he graciously allowed Mizi to go to the noodle shop in the village for a late lunch.

After leaving behind a large pile of empty bowls and eyeballs all over the place, Mizi walked out of the noodle shop contentedly.

(Eating buckwheat noodles once in a while is also good. Strange, where did Nero go?)

Mizi looked around for a while, but couldn't find the figure of the devil, so he had to walk around the village while looking for him.Probably because of looking around, she accidentally bumped into an oncoming person.

"Ah, sorry—"

Mizi was caught by the other party before she finished speaking, a pair of fierce eyes were exposed from under the brim of her hat that was pressed down very low, and a gun was in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against her waist.

"Shut up! If you don't want an extra hole in your body!"

Miko swallowed her saliva and let out a cry of surprise at the same time.

The man was still pointing the gun at her, and held her with the other hand. From the eyes of others, the two seemed to be walking hand in hand very intimately.

"Very well, that's it, don't attract attention, follow me."

Mizi was held hostage by the other party and walked out of the village. Only then did she realize that not only Nero, but also the criminal police who had come to protect her before were missing. No, it should be said that she hadn't seen them since morning.

"Are you looking for your companion? It's useless. I observed it very clearly. He didn't come here until he was nearby."

"who are you?"

"Me, as long as someone pays, I will help him solve the troublesome people."

"Could it be that the shooting last time..."

"That's right, that's what I did. Originally, I prefer to solve problems from a distance without too much trouble. Unfortunately, after the failure last time, I never found a suitable opportunity again. But forget it, as long as I can I don’t mind a change of approach once in a while if it serves its purpose.”

"Why do you do such a thing?"

"Of course it's for money! It's the same as other people's work to earn money. Since it's work, whether you like it or not, you have to do it well!"

The two talked, and slowly came to the cliff where Mizi was almost thrown by Nero.

"If you fall from here, it may be difficult to determine whether it was a homicide or an accident. Maybe it will be deemed an accident in the end. Speaking of which, a famous detective is nothing more than that!"

"It's not good for you to be lured out of such a simple trap, is it, Master?"

Nero, who came out from behind the tree, said with a bright smile on his face.

The man turned around, blocking Mizi behind him, and several criminal policemen came out from the woods, holding guns in their hands.

"lay down your weapon!"

"The master said that he was tired of playing hide-and-seek with you, so he set up this small trap. As the master expected, you really took the bait."

Miko could only laugh dryly.

"So that's the case, detective. It seems that I underestimated you. No wonder I was so calm after I was kidnapped. It turned out that all of this was in your expectation."

Miko continued to laugh dryly.

She couldn't say that this was not the first time that she was used as a bait, she was used to it, and she believed that no matter what happened to Nero, she would never let anything happen to her.

"But even so, it is impossible for me to admit defeat and give up!"

As the man spoke, he pulled Mizi back.

"What are you doing?!" "Don't do anything stupid!"

The detectives shouted nervously.

"As I said before, work is work. Now that you have done it, you must do it carefully."

As the man said, he jumped off the cliff behind him with Mizi.

With a flash of the figure, Nero had already rushed to the edge of the cliff. He grabbed Mizi and threw her back to the cliff, but he fell down with the killer.

"Nero!!!"

Mizi lay on the edge of the cliff, yelling in horror.

"what?"

Nero's head emerges from under the cliff.He stood on the cliff at almost ninety degrees, still holding the killer in his hand.

He easily jumped back to the cliff and threw the man in front of the criminal police who rushed over.The criminal police hurriedly handcuffed him.

"Scared me!"

Miko sat on the ground and patted his chest.

"Hmph, I'm a devil!" Nero laughed mercilessly.

"I know, but I still can't help worrying!" Miko complained.

The moment she saw Nero fall off the cliff, her heartbeat seemed to have stopped, even though she knew he was a monster sleeping on the ceiling who would not die from dozens of shots in his body.

Nero's eyes flashed, and he bent down skillfully and grabbed Mizi's cheek.So Miko once again found that the handsome face of the demon was very close at hand. If it was a human being, she would definitely be able to see her nervous face from those dark green eyes.

—Unfortunately he is not.

She didn't care about scratching her cheek, and fled to the side.Nero looked at his empty hands again.

"Nene Nie Luo, maybe you can ask the name of the main messenger from that mouth."

Miko was sweating coldly, and stammered to change the subject.

Nero glared at her, showing a terrifying smile that was enough to stop a child from crying, and then turned to the manacled killer.

Miko struggled to move his stiff body, once again realizing the true meaning of "life is so beautiful, but survival is so difficult".

"Come on, tell me, who asked you to take the master's life?"

Nero squatted in front of the killer and asked with a strangely bright smile.

The killer smiled mockingly: "Although I really want to say that even if I kill me, I won't say it, but in fact I don't know."

A criminal policeman yelled, "How dare you be arrogant!"

The killer looked at him disdainfully: "You can't help it if you don't believe it, but the facts are like this. All contacts are made through the Internet, including online transfers. Neither party knows the other's identity, and it is very safe for both parties."

"I think what he said should be true." Miko walked over and said, "Even if you die, you must complete the work. People with this kind of belief should not lie about this kind of thing."

The man froze for a moment, his cold expression restrained a little.

"The other party seemed to hate being a detective, so that's why he hired me." The killer suddenly said when he was taken away, "Although I don't know the reason, I think he will definitely do it again, and this time he may do it himself."

Miko was taken aback, then smiled.

"I see, thanks for the reminder."

The killer didn't say anything, and left with the criminal police.

"Hate the famous detective—ah!"

Miko whispered in confusion.

Her head was twisted back forcefully.

"Since you have time to think about such boring questions, hurry up and help me find the 'mystery'!"

As Nero spoke, he deliberately messed up Mizi's hair, and walked towards the way he had come.

"Nero..."

Miko touched his head, looked at Nero's confident back, and the scenes that happened since the meeting seemed to reappear in front of his eyes.

"...You should evolve..."

Nero who looks disappointed because of expectations.

"...Miko, don't forget..."

A rare Nero with a serious expression.

"...Can it be done?"

Even without words, they can communicate and trust each other only with their eyes, and they can find a chance to defeat SIX in a disadvantaged situation.

"... There is nothing wrong with liking itself, and there is nothing you should or shouldn't... Since you will fall in love with that person, no matter who the other person is, there must be something worthy of your liking in him..."

"Hey, Nero!"

Miko suddenly yelled.

The devil stopped, turned his head sideways, his two-colored hair was bathed in the slanting sunlight, and his lips curled up, looking evil and contemptuous, but also attractive.

"...I - like you, Nero!"

Although Miko's voice trembled, it was loud and clear.
