The road of the demon detective

Mrs. Tukata looked at Miko with a shocked expression, and after a few seconds, she reluctantly said:

"Miss Mizi, are you kidding me? How could I be the one who poisoned you? Not to mention anything else, I haven't even touched that glass of juice, how can I poison you?"

It was Nero who answered her.

"Yes, but what if the poison is not in the juice? Of course, only the master drinks juice tonight, so putting the poison in the juice is the easiest and most effective way, because there will be absolutely no chance of manslaughter. But if you take a closer look, you will find that there is one thing on the dinner table tonight that the master will eat, but others will never taste it. That is ice cubes.

"Except for the master, everyone drank wine tonight, even the pre-dinner drinks. Although it is quite precious wine, it is a bit strange that even the aperitif is the same. If it is other wines, Everyone may add ice cubes to taste according to their own taste. Only wine will never add ice cubes. The poisoner puts the poison into the ice maker in advance, and puts the poisoned ice cubes into the juice with the help of the housekeeper. In this way, the poison can be completed without touching the cup. The only person who can do this is Mrs. Hijikata, who is the host of the banquet!"

A criminal policeman hurried in with the evidence bag in his hand containing the ice maker taken out of the kitchen refrigerator, and there were still several ice cubes in it.

"In fact, the master already suspected you long before coming here, so he knew that the juice was poisonous. Isn't that right, master?"

Nero added with a smile.

Mrs. Tukata subconsciously retorted: "Impossible!"

Yazi stared at her, "Because Mrs. Hikata is really 'enthusiastic'. Although Mrs. Hikata said she was grateful for me for solving the mystery of Mr. Hijikata's murder, don't forget that Mrs. Hikata's son was killed because of me." Sent to prison! I think it is impossible for ordinary people to treat such a contradictory and cruel thing rationally, at least I can’t. Even if Mrs. Hijikata really cheers up, if she wants to thank me, it’s enough to treat me to dinner once. It's strange.

"Then I was sniped. The sniper told me that the person who hired him hated the detective very much. It seemed understandable that the other party wanted to kill me because he hated me. Although many people were arrested because of me, but I can't think of a single one of them who would hold such a grudge against me. If there's one person I feel unnatural about, it's you, Mrs. Hikata.

"So I did a little research on Mrs. Tukata's past. Mrs. Tukata's father used to be a criminal policeman. During his tenure, there was a serial murder case in which many young women were killed. Mrs. Tukata's father was in charge of investigating the case. One of them. The final detection of this case was because a private detective accidentally obtained clues when investigating the evidence of an extramarital affair. For this reason, Mrs. Hijikata’s father was greatly criticized by public opinion and his official career was also hit. Yu Yu was unsuccessful. Although it cannot be completely attributed to this, his early death of Yu Yu is also related to this. After such a thing happened, Mrs. Hijikata will probably find it difficult to have a good impression of the detective!"

"That's right, that's why I hate detectives the most!"

Mrs. Tukata raised her head, and there were deep lines on her plump cheeks, which were the traces of the anger and hatred she had tried to conceal, and her originally kind face suddenly became extremely ferocious.

"Father worked very hard. He worked so hard to catch the prisoner. He only slept for two or three hours a day. Even when I was sick, I didn't come back to see him. In the end, that guy caught the prisoner first. The kind of sneaky photos of others. A guy who makes a living, a so-called detective! He didn't do anything, but he was regarded as a hero because of a little bit of luck, and his father who worked so hard was blamed instead. I will never forget my father being sad because of his own incompetence A decadent face. Then—

"The husband was killed, but the murderer was his own son! Why did you tell such a cruel thing, why did you let me know the truth! I have already lost my husband, why should I lose my son as well! Just treat it like an ordinary burglar It’s fine if the incident is not handled properly, even if the real culprit is known, the husband will not be able to live again. If you don’t know the truth, you won’t be so painful. Although you lost your husband, you can at least keep your son! This is all your fault!”

Mrs. Hijikata stared at Yako, her face contorted with intense anger.

"If you didn't show up, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. Father was then, and now is! Without detectives, there will be no unfortunate things to happen, so to kill, there is no need for detectives in this world at all!"

With a sad expression, Yazi whispered: "I can't say that what Mrs. Hijikata said is wrong, but I still hope that there are detectives, not because I am a detective. I also lost a relative in a certain case, I know That feeling. At that time, I tried to pull myself together and get my life back to normal, but no matter how hard I tried, there was always a small piece of my life that was chaotic because of the existence of unsolved 'mysteries'. At that time, I hoped from the bottom of my heart that there would be someone, whether he was a detective or not, it didn’t matter, as long as he could help me solve this mystery.

"I know the truth is cruel, and sometimes it's better not to know, but I think there are more people who want to know, they need someone to help them solve the 'mystery', so that their life is disrupted Get back on track. So I believe there is still a need for detectives in this world!"

"Sophistry! It's all sophistry! Detectives hate me the most, so let me die!"

Mrs. Tukata yelled, took out a knife hidden somewhere and rushed towards Miko.

Nero suddenly stood in front of Miko, trying to stop Mrs. Tukata, but the two rolled into a ball, knocked over the furniture, and fell to the ground.

When everyone came forward to check, Mrs. Tufang had passed out, and Nero was safe and sound.

He said happily: "It seems that Mrs. Tufang hit her head when she fell down. I am so lucky."

The police will be fully responsible for the next finishing work. Miko and Nero leave first to avoid the reporters who heard the news.

"What a horrible night!" Mizi whispered to himself.

Thinking about it now is really thrilling, she almost drank that glass of poisonous juice.

(The result was saved by Nero again!)

"However, Nero can know that the juice is poisonous, it's amazing!"

"No, I'm actually not sure, so I can't rule out the possibility of guessing wrong and the resulting consequences, such as being sued for defamation. But even if it really happens, it doesn't matter, because you are here!"

Nero touched his chin and said heartily.

(meaning there is a scapegoat, so you can guess boldly?)

Miko thought with a full face.

"Speaking of which, it's the first time Nero has done such an unsure thing!" Mizi laughed.

"No way, it took so much effort to train the servants to be useful. We don't want to lose them so casually."

(Servant——even though he said last time that he was a partner!)

Thinking of this, Miko suddenly smiled.

(Forget it, that's not bad! Rather than thinking about things that are impossible, it's better to keep the status quo.)

"Hey, Nero, pretend you haven't heard about what you said about 'like' yesterday, forget it!"

"That is impossible!"

"Hey?"

Miko stopped in surprise.

Nero turned and looked at her.

"I will never forget what happened."

"But……"

Nero raised his head and looked at the night sky, "I'm a devil, I don't understand human feelings, I don't know what I like—"

"do not talk!"

Miko interrupted him loudly, and she tried hard to put on a smile to hide the tears gradually welling up in her eyes.

"I know it all, so stop talking."

Nero looked at Mizi, who was a little embarrassed, without any expression on his face.After a while, he spoke again, his voice slightly lowered.

"My generation is a devil, but I also have the desire to eat to satisfy my hunger, and I also have expectations for someone, trust her, fight with her, and even fight recklessly to protect someone! Hundreds of millions of calculations, spending a huge amount of magic power to open a passage, just to return to the above-ground world where someone is; ——and, I want to be with you, Miko, and I want to be with you all the time.”

"Nero..."

Miko was stunned, staring blankly at Nero's eyes.The ring-shaped eyes, which are completely different from human beings, still can't reflect anyone's figure, but it doesn't prevent them from staring at someone seriously, she, this existence named Katsuragi Yako.

The strong emotion welling up in her chest at that moment made her want to laugh, but she couldn't help but shed tears.

Yazi rubbed his eyes and found that Nero had already stepped forward.But this time he didn't go far, but stopped and waited for her.

"If you don't want to leave, don't we have to drag you away!"

"Nero!"

Mizi couldn't help laughing, she chased after him and took Moren's arm.

"We need more 'mysteries', and the 'ultimate mystery' that must exist somewhere in this world, there is no time to waste!"

"No problem, I also want to know what the ultimate mystery is like."

What is love, even now Miko still doesn't understand, but she wants to care about someone, trust someone wholeheartedly, wants to be with someone forever - this kind of mood, even if it is not love, must be a very precious feeling .If two people have such a mood, then no matter how thorny and bumpy the future road may be, they can definitely go on together!

"Ah, it's delicious!"

Miko said with a satisfied face.

She and Ye Hui were eating hot beef hotpot.The last gathering ended because of Yazi being sniped and her absent-mindedness, this time it can be regarded as making up for it.

"I saw it!"

Ye Hui said mysteriously.

"what?"

"You and Mr. Assistant are walking on the road arm in arm."

Yazi choked on the food again and stammered:

"That, that kind of thing..."

"It seems that you have made up your mind, and it's going well!"

Miko didn't know whether to admit it or deny it. In fact, the way she got along with Nero hadn't changed since that night, and Nero still abused her well.But, well, she still has a small sense of happiness once in a while.

(Could it be that I really have an M tendency?)

Miko thought in a cold sweat.

"That's great!" Ye Hui said, both happy for her friend and envious. "If things go on like this, you should be talking about getting married soon! Hey, Mr. Assistant is so handsome, the child you will give birth to in the future must be cute too! I really want to see it sooner!"

(married?! kids?!!!)

Miko was completely stunned.She thought of Nero's saliva, which was comparable to sulfuric acid, and her face immediately turned black.

"Hey, Ye Hui, you'd better introduce me to another man!"

Yazi held his friend's hand and begged with tears.

"what?!"

At the same time, the temperature in the office suddenly dropped fifty degrees again.Unfortunately, Wu Dai, who stopped by on a whim, was caught in the brunt of the incident and was frozen in place.

(Asshole! I knew nothing good would come here! Damn monster, wait for me!)

Poor Mr. Wu Dai, it seems that this time he will really face the difficulty of life and death. I don’t know if he will be able to escape in the end. Let us bless him with all our strength!

Amen!
