[Ninja] OLA Detective Agency

When the taxi drove to 13th Street, Atobe and Shinozu briefly exchanged opinions on the existing materials.Although Ninzu didn't think about or delve into the case last night, but fortunately, when he met with Gan yesterday, he heard Gan introduce the case himself, so it is not impossible to keep up with Atobe's thinking.

Atobe's decision today is to go to 13th Street to learn about Akutsujin's situation, and then visit the relatives and friends of the three victims to hear their opinions.

The reason why I went to see Akutsuren first was because Atobe found that it was difficult to correctly summarize what kind of person Akutsuren was from the information and Sengoku's description.There was little in the police files about the sole suspect - which made Atobe curious.

However, Ren Zuzu, who used to work in the police station, promptly resolved Atobe's doubts: "Well, in fact, the police will not put the information of this kind of suspect in the file."

"Why?" Atobe rarely encountered something that his master Atobe didn't know, so he asked with interest.

"Well, you know... If this suspect is not the real murderer, then the police may be in trouble. Especially Akutsujin is said to be a very difficult man..." Shinozu Shrugged at the Atobu, "This That’s why a private detective agency is more convenient than the police, at least we don’t have to worry about someone coming to us for a lawsuit!”

"Hmph, that's true. I really want to see, who is not good-looking guy who came to sue me?" Atobe raised his eyebrows, "It's their honor to let me investigate."

To be able to take such domineering words for granted, and secretly chuckle in his heart, probably only his dear Xiaojing can do this, right?

When the car drove to Nancheng, the style of the buildings on the street changed immediately. It was completely different from the elegant style of Berkeley Street in the HT area where Atobe lived. Lively, but full of the atmosphere of the city.

For Atobe, such a scene should be very novel, Renzu guessed like this, secretly paying attention to Atobe's reaction around him.But what surprised Shinobu was that Atobe seemed to have no response to the changes in the outside world, and still maintained his original expression.Perhaps Atobe, who is seriously thinking about the case now, doesn't have the leisure to pay attention to the civilian scenery outside the window, right?While Shinozu was thinking this, the taxi had already stopped on 14th Street.

"Mr. Driver, what's the matter?"

The taxi driver showed a weird smile, "The 13th Street side is not very peaceful recently, and it's not far from here, please walk there!"

"Hmph..." Atobe snorted coldly, opened the door first and got out of the car.With a wry smile, Renzu paid the fare and followed Atobe.

"It actually makes taxi drivers shy away. I really don't know what 13th Street looks like!" Atobe complained in a non-glamourous manner, but his steps were extremely brisk, as if he couldn't wait to rush to 13th Street to see what happened.

Scratching his head, he said, "I think these streets should all look similar..."

Indeed, from their journey, apart from the changes in the signs, the street scene is basically the same. There are crowded residential buildings, shabby huts, and tacky shops. There is really nothing novelty worth looking forward to. .Also, because the area is about to be demolished and rebuilt, there is a sense of decay everywhere.The roof tiles were crumbling, and the peeling wall skin was left unattended, which made people feel extraordinarily dangerous.

But Atobe seemed dismissive of Ninzuzu's statement: "How do you know if you don't see it with your own eyes?"

Shrugging helplessly, he didn't refute Atobe's opinion any more, and followed Atobe obediently—he didn't plan to spend a lonely night away from the fragrant scene tonight.And, he soon discovered, he was right not to contradict Atobe: 13th Street was indeed very different from other streets.

So it is different, not just because it is neater and cleaner than other places, and it is not because it is obviously the same architectural pattern but there is a unique style here.The point is that the whole street of 13th Street has a kind of vitality, which is completely different from the lifelessness of other streets.

However, the sudden appearance of two strangers, Ninzuzu and Atobe, obviously broke the scene.People coming and going on the street stopped what they were doing as soon as they saw their appearance, and turned their eyes of doubt and disgust to them.

"Who are you guys?" Breaking this embarrassing and stiff situation was a man rushing out of a small coffee shop on the side of the street. He was tall, fair-skinned, silver-haired, and a coffee shop assistant was tied around his waist. A common long black apron, with a tray in his hand. "What's up with us on 13th Street?"

"You...are Akutsujin?" As soon as this man appeared, Atobe immediately recognized his identity.Compared with the photos, the real-life version of Akutsujin is more intimidating and oppressive.Thinking of the long-term confrontation between the nagging Sengoku and this Akutsu, Atobe suddenly felt that this incident added a lot of joy out of thin air.

But Akutsu obviously didn't know what was going on in Atobe's mind, he stared hostilely at Atobe, "Answer my question, kid."

kid? !Atobe's face darkened, what is this guy calling my uncle?kid?

"Ren!" A beautiful woman ran out of the coffee shop following Akutsujin and grabbed his arm. "Calm down first...they may not be..."

"Don't order me." Akutsuren shook off the woman in displeasure, his eyes still sharply locked on the faces of Atobe and Shinozuzu.

But obviously, Atobe had no intention of giving in to Akutsu's attitude, completely ignored his question, and unscrupulously looked at the coffee shop where Akutsu was located.Regarding Atobe's behavior, Akutsu obviously understood that this was a provocation from the other party. He clenched his fists and raised his arms as if he was about to make a move.

"I heard that the food here is delicious, so I brought my friends to taste it..." Fortunately, Ren Zuo spoke in a timely manner, which relieved the terrible low pressure between Atobe and Akutsu in time.

The woman next to Akutsu immediately took over Renzu's words knowingly: "Ah, you must have come to taste our afternoon tea combination of chestnut cake and mocha coffee here? Please come in, please come in, that is our signature Pin! Ah Ren, these two are just guests, so don't be too sensitive..."

"Hmph!" After hearing the woman's words, a strange smile appeared on Ajiujin's lips, which made people uncomfortable. "Since this is the case, come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked back to the coffee shop as if no one else was there, and the residents who had been nervous just now also returned to a peaceful life.Apparently, Akutsu didn't believe at all that Shinobu and Atobe were visiting 13th Street for coffee and cake.

"Please sit down, both of you, and I'll prepare cake and coffee for you." The woman hesitated, "Sorry, please don't be angry with Ren, he is not a bad boy."

"Hmm." Looking at the woman's pleading eyes, Atobe, though still sullen, nodded uncomfortably.The woman left with a sigh of relief.

Renzu lowered his voice and whispered in Atobe's ear, "Don't get too excited, Xiaojing. It's not good to have a conflict with Akutsu here. I heard that he is a well-known 'big brother' figure in the entire 13th Street and Nancheng area. "

"Of course I understand, but this guy dares to call me a boy..." Atobe glanced coldly at Akutsu who was standing behind the bar and wiping his teacup. The moment their eyes met, they could almost see the sky It also burst out with terrifying sparks.

Seeing this scene, he felt a headache and raised his forehead. If Akutsu, who is a waiter, offends Atobe when he comes to deliver things later, it will probably become an unmanageable scene.Once the entire 13th Street is classified as a refusal to come and go, it will be even more impossible to collect evidence of Akutsu's crimes.

The reason why he was able to hand over the information to Ninzu and let OLA investigate the case is precisely because of this: the police can't get any information from 13th Street at all-everyone here is protecting Akutsujin.This is why although Akutsu is the prime suspect, there is still no direct evidence to issue an arrest warrant.

Originally Renzu was still worried that the person who came to deliver the cake would be Akutsu, but the woman just now obviously expected this, so it was not Akutsu who came to deliver coffee and cake, but a well-behaved and quiet boy, with a smile on his forehead. He is wearing a green hair tie that looks old but has been washed clean.

"You two, please use." The boy put the cake and coffee in front of Shinobu and Atobe respectively, and bowed slightly.Then he raised his hand very naturally, and seemed to help the hair tie on his forehead out of habit—even though the hair tie was not loose. "I'm sorry just now."

"Thank you." Ren Zu had a good impression of this well-mannered boy, so he also greeted him with a smile.

The young man smiled back, "Please try it, our chestnut cake is so good, even Senior Akutsu couldn't help stealing it!"

"Really?" Atobe gently took a little with a small spoon and put it into his mouth. The sweetness and fragrance of chestnuts immediately spread in his mouth. happy face.

"You...are you really not from that company?" The boy peeked at Ajiujin behind the bar a little embarrassedly, and asked cautiously when he saw that he didn't pay attention to the situation here.

"Well, we are not." The person who spoke this time was Atobe. Perhaps the boy's polite attitude made Atobe's mood a little better, or perhaps the delicious chestnut cake eased his mood, and this time his expression also appeared brisk. a lot. "You... are the clerk in this store?"

"Well, my name is Tan Taiyi. I have been working here since I was very young!" Tan Taiyi showed a nostalgic look, "It turns out that this coffee shop is very small, and Aunt Yuki has worked very hard to maintain it. The past has improved…”

"Aunt Yuuki? You mean just now..."

"Well, it's the aunt you met just now, she is the proprietress here." Taiyi smiled and said: "She doesn't look like such an old person at all, does she?"

Reminiscing what the woman said just now, Renzu's mind flashed inspiration, and he blurted out: "So she belongs to Ajiujin..."

"It's Senior Yakutsu's mother." Taichi continued: "Because it's really not easy for this 13th Street to develop to where it is today, so everyone doesn't want it to be acquired and rebuilt by Release Company, and it will cost an extra year. A sum of money. So Akutsu-senpai also..."

Atobe was expecting the talkative Taichi to continue, and he could conclude that as long as he had a few more conversations with this boy, Tan Taichi would be able to provide more information about 13th Street and Akutsujin immediately.Unfortunately, Ajiujin, who had just greeted an old guest, had noticed this side again, and Taiyi had been here for too long.

"Taiyi!"

Taichi stuck out his tongue cutely, "Sorry, I've been waiting too long, Senior Akutsu is calling me!"

"Well, go get busy first!" Atobe had no choice but to watch Taichi leave in a dispirited manner, and once again collided with Akutsu's gaze fiercely.Apparently, Yajiujin was still extremely wary of these two strangers.

Atobe raised his eyebrows: "It seems that this guy is very careful!"

No wonder the taxi driver didn’t want to come to 13th Street. It turns out that the xenophobic sentiment here has reached such a high level... Judging from the current situation, Renzu can only secretly pray in his heart that they can sit here and drink coffee next time cake, and then try to get more information from Tan Taiyi.

"Xiaojing, what shall we do next?" Walking out of the tense 13th Street, he pushed his glasses in perplexity, and looked at Atobe around him. "I think that in such a situation, even for us, it is difficult to collect evidence."

"You're right." Atobe took a deep breath. "But instead of being busy collecting evidence of Akutsu's crime, I think there are more things we need to do now."

Usually, if Atobu does not use the self-proclaimed uncle, it means that he is thinking about some kind of problem so seriously that he has no time to maintain his extraordinary self-esteem and proud demeanor in terms of words.

So what did Atobe think of this time?Shinobu suddenly felt that he might have guessed Atobe's current thoughts this time. "Xiaojing, do you mean... We must first determine whether Ya Jiujin is the murderer or not?"
