VOL.1

It's an ordinary day.

The weather wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. The sky was cloudy, but there was still half a sun that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

The Special Mission Support Division also lives a very ordinary life, going around to solve support tasks and helping citizens solve problems on a daily basis.

The only difference is that I see it in the evening, right?

With the crimson clouds in the sky, Lloyd and Randy pushed open the door to the Support Section.

Today, the two of them were assigned the task of patrolling the city, while the other partners were working on other tasks.

"Welcome back."

A gentle voice came from the living room, greeting Ellie McDowell, the only adult female in the Special Assignment Support Cory, with beautiful long dove-gray hair and emerald eyes.

She wore a white sweater and cropped slacks, and white slippers on her feet, looking casual. At this time, she was sitting at the table in the hall of the support department, holding a thick book in both hands, and when she saw the two of them come back, she snapped it shut. It doesn't seem to be a political book.,It's probably a collection of miscellaneous conversations.、Novels.,It's something that can make people relax.。

By the way, her task today is to deal with the paperwork, and the police station pushed the incident in the old town and the documents that had not been processed before to the support section in the form of a support mission. Of course, this kind of thing can't be handled by outsiders, so the paperwork falls to Ellie and Theo.

As for You, he cooperated with the Guerrilla Association and went to the Urs Road in the south of the city to deal with the wanted Warcraft.

"We're back, Ellie." Lloyd said so, took off his coat, and walked towards the kitchen. "Cooking dinner? I'll do it too. ”

"Okay, it's steak for dinner, can you cook some barley noodles for me?"

Watching the two of them turn into the kitchen, Randy raised his eyebrows and smiled. He strode upstairs, ready to go back to his room - the more people who were cooking, the better, both in terms of the space in the kitchen of the support department and the composition of the staff who were now preparing dinner.

It's not long before it's time for a happy dinner.

Ellie and Lloyd's steak is out of the oven, Sergei also returns from a meeting at the police station, and Randy is also called down from upstairs by Lloyd, somewhat surprisingly, Yuki is the last to return.

The steak is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the sauce is fragrant, and the medium-rare heat is paired with a half-boiled fried egg, and the barley noodles are also very strong. The quality was quite good for dinner.

While a few people were eating, there was a knock on the door. Lloyd, who was sitting next to the door, inserted a cut steak into his mouth and walked towards the door. The visitor seemed to have something important, so Lloyd and he started talking at the door.

Merely...... Lloyd's face gradually became delicate, as if he was smiling and embarrassed.

"Lloyd, what's wrong?" You noticed the change in his face and stood up and walked over to him.

"Ah...... Not really...... In short, it's a courier...... Probably, right? ”

Listening to Lloyd's hesitant and questioning tone, not only swimming, but even Randy and Ellie got up curiously and walked over, and Sergei also looked over. Only Rae and Theo were still sitting in their seats, eating quietly.

Rui is not very reckless, and her cautious appearance not only makes people associate with small rodents, such as hamsters or something. Theo, on the other hand, turned on the sensors and knew what was going on outside.

It's a courier, that's right.

At Lloyd's feet was a case of canned soft drinks, and judging by the apple pattern on it, it must have been apple juice or something. There was also an iron box on top of the soft drink, which was full of water, and nine scallops lay quietly on the bottom of the water.

"What is this?"

Randy asked curiously.

"Hmm...... My sister sent it to me...... Gift? Congratulations on the gift of the establishment of this new department. ”

Lloyd said with some uncertainty.

"Huh? You actually have a sister?! Randy looked surprised.

"Anyway, that's not the point......" You sighed, picked up the iron box and walked towards the house. Whether you accept it or return it, it's not a matter of putting it at the door like this. Seeing this, Randy also picked up the soft drink and walked in with you.

"Wait, wait...... This scallop is not ......" Ellie leaned in curiously to take a look, and was stunned.

"Isn't this one?" Randy was so surprised that she didn't continue, and asked curiously.

"This—This is the legendary wave scallop! [Note: A fictitious scallop, the pattern of the shell is not radial, but a wavy line that spreads from the center to the edge, the flesh is delicious, and the price is twenty times or even higher than that of ordinary scallops]"

Seeing that there was little reaction from the others, Ellie reached in and pressed her slender index finger lightly on the shell of a scallop.

"If you look closely, the pattern of the scallops is not a straight line, but a wavy line!" A few people followed her fingers, and there were indeed some arcs, although they were not obvious, but they could be regarded as wavy lines.

"It's a high-quality ingredient known for its delicious meat, but it's so easy to get confused with regular scallops, so I'm lucky that some wavy scallops are mixed with regular scallops every time I catch them." Hearing what Ellie said, Lloyd looked at the other scallops, and sure enough, only this one was wavy.

"Well, anyway, no matter how rare this thing is, it's not the life of being made into garlic scallops." You didn't care about saying his own opinion.

"Hey, I said you guys, if you don't come to eat it, I'll eat it for you - I mean the steak." As he spoke, Chief Sergei reached for his knife to Randy's plate next to him.

"Stop! Let go of that steak! Randy saw that his delicacy was about to be murdered, and he didn't care about his image, so he quickly strode back, and Sergei snorted rather dissatisfied, and honestly put away the knife.

The water tank was placed in the kitchen, and several people returned to the dining table. The soft drink was brought directly to the table, and there was no soup in today's dish, so I just used this instead.

In this way, the Special Mission Support Section had an uneventful day.

VOL.2

"I'm so dizzy......," Ellie murmured, and the sun shone through the window and poured on her, warm. Looking at the direction and abundance of sunlight, it should be nine or ten o'clock in the morning, right?

It looks like he's lying in his room right now.

"How can this be ......" Ellie muttered dissatisfiedly, if it was usual, Ellie should have dressed up now, and was mentally going on patrol or dealing with paperwork or something.

"No one calls me ......" lazily dragged a long voice, as if coquettish. Ellie jumped out of bed, limp and a little unable to exert her strength.

Ellie, who had just woken up, was still a little confused, and she didn't notice that she was used to sleeping in pajamas, and this time she slept in yesterday's clothes.

Dragging her tired body, Ellie opened the door and headed for the first-floor hall - normally, everyone would eat together every morning and discuss the day's arrangements a little. Maybe still waiting for me? Ellie thought so and stiffened her way downstairs.

No one. The space is not too large, and it unexpectedly gives people a feeling of emptiness.

"Is anyone there?"

Ellie grabbed her hair and shouted. No one answered, and Ellie hurried over to the table and sat down, the mere act of a simple act that left her breathless. The physical decline is severe, the brain is buzzing, and the throat is deadly dry.

I knew that I would drink a cup of black tea in my house and then come down. Ellie thought, casually took a soft drink with apples in her hand, and her slender fingers clicked to pull open the tab, and gulped down.

The warm liquid slid down my throat, and although I didn't know if I could rehydrate it, my throat wasn't so uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, what did you do yesterday? Why is there no impression?

Ellie tried to get her brain to spin, but the humming sound was so annoying that Ellie's head hurt, and after thinking about it for a while, she gave up.

Just remember, yesterday Lloyd took a courier, drinks and scallops...... Ah, it's a wave scallop.

"Good morning, Ellie......" Lloyd also went downstairs, pale and looking sluggish, no better than Ellie. His face turned even paler when he saw the jar in Ellie's hand......

"That...... Ellie, did you drink again? ”

Ellie followed his fingers and found that he was pointing to the jar in his hand, Ellie suddenly had the idea of playing tricks on him, drank all the contents of the jar, and then turned it upside down and shook it, there was basically no drink left in it, two or three drops fell on the tick, and it was gone.

"Hmph, I won't give it to you!"

Ellie's lovely nasal voice began to appear, and a prank-and-trido blush gradually appeared on her face...... However, as far as the flush is concerned, it is really a bit too red......

"No, Ellie, please listen to me...... Ah! Just as Lloyd was explaining and going downstairs, a dark figure suddenly rushed past his feet, seemingly accidentally, or deliberately, hitting Lloyd's ankle......

"Ahh

VOL.3

"It was a deliberate murder." Ellie rested her cheek with one hand, her eyebrows tightly locked.

"No...... Lloyd is still alive......" Randy poked under Lloyd's nose, breathing evenly, and it seemed like he had just fainted.

Time rewinds a little bit.

A small black shadow leapt past Lloyd's feet, intentionally or not, and as a result, it hit his ankle.

Then Lloyd, who lost his balance, rolled down the stairs with a "Ahh Screams.

Then, Randy, Theo, and Rui, who were awakened by the scream, quickly gathered around Lloyd who had passed out.

Thus, there is the scene at the beginning of this paragraph.

"Obviously such a good person...... Why ......" Ellie said, a crystal tear running down her cheek.

"Well, I said he wasn't dead...... Randy looked at Ellie's strange appearance in confusion, and suddenly thought of a possibility in his heart......

"I said Ellie, are you supposed to ...... Got that drink again, right? ”

"Don't worry, Detective Ellie, I'll definitely find the murderer hiding in the dark!" With that, Ellie waved her hand vigorously and pointed her finger at the tip of Randy's nose. "There is only one truth! I will definitely carry on Lloyd's legacy and bring you to justice! ”

"Alcohol Testing...... Wow......" Theo also clearly sensed that something was wrong, and the detection power was fully opened, and almost instantly her face was flushed, like an apple, very cute.

"What's wrong, little Theo?" Randy asked curiously.

"It must have been drunk...... The alcohol content in the body is so high......" Theo said in a daze. It is not good to open up the perception to the maximum, and the perception of external stimuli will also expand. Even just smelling Ellie's exhaled breath made Theo feel a little overwhelmed.

- Actually, the soft drink that Lloyd moved in yesterday...... It's not a drink...... It's wine.

A new spirit that is about to hit the market. I really don't know where Lloyd's sister got it, and then for what purpose she sent it to the Support Division.

By the way, the apple on the cover does not mean that this is an apple flavor or apple juice, but the logo of the company......

Of course, Randy, who is the most immune to alcohol, is not too much of a problem, Yu Tatsumi can also use qigong to expel the alcohol from his body, and Theo is keenly aware of the essence of the drink and does not touch it at all. And Lloyd and Ellie are different......

When Lloyd woke up in the morning, he felt as if he was on fire, desperate for water, and his body was too weak to exert his strength. This is a normal reaction that a first-time drinker should have. It is precisely because of this extremely absent body that something will be plotted, causing the new investigator to fall unconscious.

Ellie's situation is a bit worse...... Because she doesn't just have a drunken reaction...... And...... I drank a whole can of ...... so mischievously in the morning

"......Uhh My friend, you're so lucky to faint......" Randy subconsciously uttered an exaggerated line like a stage play. He looked at Lloyd, who was lying on the ground, breathing evenly, and then at Ellie, who was directing and acting herself, and sighed heavily.

It seems that today there is a toss.

VOL.4

"That...... Miss Ellie...... Do you want...... Breakfast first......"

Rui, who was frightened by Ellie's momentum, asked weakly. For her, it is an extreme challenge to talk to people like this, but if she doesn't, I'm afraid that what awaits her is even harsher hell......

"Well, that's right, sugar speeds up the brain's thinking, Watson." Ellie's voice suddenly sank, as if she was trying her best to imitate some calm middle-aged gentleman, but after all, she was a girl less than twenty years old, and no matter how much she imitated it, it didn't look like a man's voice, but a little funny.

"That...... I'm not Watson......" Rui retorted weakly.

"Who is Watson?" Suddenly hearing the name he didn't know, Randy asked hopelessly - now that Ellie is in a state where he probably won't answer his question......

"It's a character in a detective novel, the assistant of the protagonist." Theo's eyes were closed, as if he was thinking about something. "Speaking of which, Ellie-senpai seems to be reading this lately."

"Hey...... In other words...... Bring yourself into the characters of the novel? I must have been watching it very seriously. Randy sighed and nodded. Theo sighed softly, "The point isn't here......"

"Anyway, there seemed to be scallops last night, so let's eat that one in the morning!" Ellie's voice suddenly returned, and she turned to the kitchen rather cheerfully. Rui looked around in embarrassment, but in the end she didn't dare to follow, her head hung low, as if she had made a mistake. Randy and Theo looked at each other and sighed in unison.

It seems that today's support mission can't be done, so you can't leave Ellie alone like this, right?

Fortunately, Yu Tatsumi seems to have gotten up early in the morning to go to work, so he shouldn't have to worry about it...... Probably.

VOL.5

"Hey!!"

Suddenly there was a mournful sound in the kitchen, as if a small animal was about to be eaten by a beast, full of sadness.

Today must be my Good Friday...... With this in mind, Randy walked into the kitchen.

Ellie sat on the ground without any image, not caring if she would stain her pants, in front of her was a beautiful black cat, maintaining an elegant posture, a little lazy lying on her stomach, just looking at the movements are a bit similar to Ellie.

Although Ellie made such a loud noise, it did not have the slightest intention of escaping, but instead glanced at Ellie Randy with a slightly provocative look, and then continued to lick the shell in front of her.

Wait a minute? Seashell?

Randy suddenly notices that something is wrong, and when he looks at the table again, the water tank that was temporarily on the cutting board is gone! When I looked closely, I found that the tin tank was lying quietly in the corner of the kitchen, which was empty, and none of the scallops survived...... Four of the remains are in the trash, and it looks like the black cat has come here to forage for food.

The rest, without exception, were made into garlic scallops and placed on a cutting board with a kitchen knife. One of them was on the ground, the one that the black cat was eating.

"Who is it...... So cruel......" Ellie's voice was very low, and Randy couldn't see Ellie's expression from her angle, so she must have been extremely disappointed, right?

"Brutally killed...... Nine Fresh ......"

"Uh...... By the way, you wanted to eat them too......" Randy retorted a little weakly.

"No, it's all about the trick...... I actually used a kitchen knife to smash them to pieces...... What a resentment...... In such a cruel way...... What the hell is the hatred ......," Ellie muttered.

"Actually...... Just want to eat them, right? Randy sighed, walked over and picked up a scallop from the table and handed it to Ellie. Now, it looks like it's for us, although there's a cheaper one for this little one...... Ahh......h

Seemingly dissatisfied with Randy's words, the black cat on the ground unceremoniously bit Randy's calf, and then meowed in a flash.

"It says its name is Kirbe." Theo said.

"Theo was surprised to come up with a name."

“………… In short, it's good to call it Kirbe. As if not wanting to argue with him, Thio unilaterally summed up.

On the other side, Ellie's dull gaze saw the sparkling vermicelli, garlic sauce and scallop minced meat on the garlic scallops, and gradually became refreshed, she took the wavy scallops and teased them casually with the toothpicks on them.

"That, Miss? What are you doing? Randy didn't look right with her, and quickly asked.

"Post-mortem ...... Although the purpose may be to eat, it may also be to conceal the real motive, as if there is also a deliberate attempt to be turned over by the victim's house to disguise it as a robber invasion, which is a common modus operandi. ”

No...... There's no one who would deliberately kill this thing......

Ellie picked up a slice of shellfish, put it to her mouth, and muttered, "Don't worry, Detective Ellie Conan Doyle will do justice for you." ”

"What is Conan Doyle......" Randy asked, turning to Theo as if he had given up.

"It's the author of the detective novel I mentioned earlier."

Vol.6

I gave up......

Thinking so, Randy casually ate the scallop that belonged to him. said vaguely: "Then, I'll go to Happy Street for a while." Can little Theo be pleased? ”

Theo kicked Randy with a blank face, "'Little' is a redundant Randy senior. ”

"No......"

It wasn't Theo who answered Randy, it was Ellie. By this time she had already stood up. There was a look of forbearance and sadness on his face.

"Everybody is suspicious. So, please stay in your room honestly...... Don't go out. ”

"Huh?! Why?,No matter how you look at it, it's all done by Yuki Tatsumi, who got up first! For the sake of roulette and poker, Randy decisively betrayed his friends.

"No, I said it, each of us is suspicious...... Maybe it's one of us who wants to blame him. Obviously I said last night that I want to make garlic scallops, and today it happens to be garlic scallops, don't you think the coincidence is too much......"

From "every one of us is suspicious", Ellie's voice began to become calm again, as if she was holding a cigarette, she held a toothpick between her index and middle fingers and held it in her mouth, blowing from time to time, as if she was really smoking.

"I think that's normal......" Randy retorted weakly, he was almost at his limit. Why are you serious in such a strange place, Miss!

"Randy ......"

Hearing Ellie call her name, Randy subconsciously straightened up and responded.

"Murderer, that's you."

"Huh?!"

"I thought it was strange from the beginning...... Why do you keep messing with my train of thought? ”

"No...... Ideas or something......"

"You're the number one suspect...... Randy. So, you'd better stay in your room obediently, or I'll really be wanted. Ellie's eyes sparkled with seriousness.

"Huh?!"

I don't want it! Because if you kill the scallops, you're going to want me?! That way I don't have to stay at Crossbell anymore! It's a shame, what will the neighbors think of me! Randy screamed angrily in his heart as he slammed the table and bench apart.

However, Randy quickly recognized the current situation, no matter how much dissatisfaction there was, at least he couldn't show it now, otherwise the drunk Ellie might not be able to do something......

Alcohol, what a sin...... It was the first time Randy had such a deep understanding, although the scene that led him to this realization was a little weird.

"Little Theo goes back to his room, too! I believe in little Theo, but please don't embarrass me. Ellie smiled, but she couldn't see the smile, and Theo couldn't help but shiver and nodded subconsciously.

"As for Miss Rui...... Ellie's jade-like eyes focused on Rui, and the slightly autistic girl subconsciously protected her chest with her hands, and kept hiding back.

"You must be innocent, so come and be my assistant!"

"You're obviously eccentric!"

VOL.7

"The deceased showed no visible signs of struggle, perhaps the drug caused the death."

Ellie calmly judged.

Rui followed her, almost crying.

The two men were going around collecting evidence and testimonies.

The scallop corpse, a kitchen knife, a strand of Lloyd's hair, and so on, were all listed as evidence, and Ellie carefully collected them in a clear plastic bag and kept them as evidence. Because the kitchen knife was too heavy and easy to break the bag, it was held by Ellie.

Just in two people collecting "Cruel! The case of nine serial murders and corpses! There was a new murder.

The place where the body was found was the section chief's office. The deceased was Section Chief Sergei.

The cause of death was preliminarily determined to be poisoning.

The body collapsed on the chair, its head resting on the back of the chair, its mouth wide open. It should be caused by suffocation before death.

The limbs hung casually, and they were still very soft, and the time of death should be less than 2 hours.

The snoring sound is hard to hear, and maybe it's caused by some special drug.

No, no, speaking of which, it is possible that he broke the neck of the section chief? Judging from the fact that there is no bruise on his neck, it should be the work of a master...... And this master should be proficient in martial arts...... Wait a minute...... Could it be?!

Ellie thought of a possibility and quickly shook her head.

The case is still unclear - in fact it is clear enough - that you cannot let your subjective judgment influence your search.

I'm a professional detective! Thinking so, the corners of Ellie's mouth unconsciously raised, and a great man-like hum came out of her nose.

When...... It's over...... Master...... Come back soon...... Rui thought so, biting her lower lip and looking at Ellie's interested search of the section chief's office.

VOL.8

"What the hell am I ...... Why do you want to play with her...... Why don't you jump out of the window and go to Baruca to play two games......" Randy pushed the window open as if he had given up on himself, the height of the second floor was only a small amount to him.

But...... Look at Ellie's state...... I'm afraid it's not a joke......

On the way back, you might see a picture of yourself posted on the walls that read, "Randy Orlando is suspected of murder!" Please know丨情丨人丨Shixi provide information to the police! "Something like that.

No, no, no, that's all good......

If it says yes......

"Randy Orlando brutally murdered nine scallops and is on the run, if you know anything about it, please provide information to the police as soon as possible!"

Flee for scallops! Murdered with cruelty! After all, how sick the brain is, because of this, I will flee! I won't be able to raise my head for the rest of my life!

Randy finally closes the window, slams himself on the couch, and picks up the magazine and rummages through it.

Abominable and abominable...... Never mind...... It's just a little vacation...... I hope that the eldest lady will let us go when she wakes up...... Wait a minute...... Could it be, after sobering up, in order to hide the black history............

Randy shuddered unconsciously, completely unaware that his fighting strength far surpassed Ellie's.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, probably guessing who it was, and Randy said angrily, "Come in, the door is unlocked." ”

Sure enough, the person who came was Ellie McDowell, who called herself Ellie Conan Doyle, and compared to the first reading, the two names really had two similarities......

"Uh-huh, I didn't abscond without fear of crime!" Ellie has a smug expression on her face as she uses the prolonged voice characteristic of big shots. Randy glanced at Rui behind her, making the same expression as her......

"I didn't do it, what did I run away......"

"Very good, very good, every murderer starts by not admitting to killing."

"Hey, that's what every good guy does!"

"So...... That seems to be the case? Don't make the mistake of empiricism, though! ”

Randy was stunned for a moment, muttering in his heart, he was obviously drunk like this, and he could still say such a professional term. Ellie, however, mistook his silence for panic.

At this time, you have to take advantage of the victory to pursue!

"So, Randy-kun, what did you do today?"

"Whew, what is this unfolding that makes me a suspect......"

"Hurry up!" Ellie said angrily, waving her arms in order to increase her threat. If it weren't for the kitchen knife in his hand that existed as evidence, it would be quite like a scene of spoiling her boyfriend.

"Wow wow, I just said it, put it down, put that thing down!" Randy quickly raised his hands in compromise, and his body couldn't help but hide inside the couch. Because of her drunkenness, Ellie had no grip at all, and as her hand swung up and down, the handle of the kitchen knife was also shaking at will, which was simply too dangerous.

"I, I slept until dawn today, and I didn't wake up until I heard Lloyd's screams." Randy's tone was a little disgruntled, and he scratched his hair vigorously, as if this would relieve his depression a little.

"Oh roar? So, can anyone testify? ”

"It can't be! Whoever sleeps will be staring! Randy slapped the spread magazine in his face. Some thick magazines weighed down his nasal voice: "Okay, Miss, I'm dead now, please help me find the real culprit." ”

has no acting skills, no changes, and is even inferior to the latest actor reading the lines of a stage play. Randy just casually perfunctory Ellie.

"Watson, write it down, Randy committed suicide in fear of sin."

"Don't remember! What's on my head again! ”

"The charge is the murder of Section Chief Sergei."

"Why is someone dead again!"

"Please don't talk too much, please be quiet for the deceased."

Ellie glanced coldly at Randy's "corpse" and continued to talk back to Rui. Of course, the poor brunette girl was just shaking blindly and didn't go to the record.

"I was wrong! The itinerary is right! Proof it! What would I say...... Really, it's all Lloyd's fault...... Why the hell did you bring that thing in......" Randy let out a broken sound, then complained to Lloyd.

Ellie's arrival in Theo's room was an hour later.

During the necessary interrogation of Randy, Randy's suspicion was finally cleared a little.

Of course, it's unknown if Randy thinks the same way. At least Ellie hadn't regained consciousness when she left.

"So, little Theo, can you tell me what you've done today?"

"In fact, nothing was done." Theo replied lightly. At this time, she was sitting on the bed with a Missy pillow, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Oh...... There's no way to clear the suspicion, right? Ellie, Theo sighed, and said, "Ellie, senior......"

"Huh?"

"I had no motive to kill them." With that, Theo buried his chin in the pillow, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Ellie.

"Hey...... Motivation............ Wait, I seem to know! Theo, call Randy to the first floor! ”

VOL.9

In the living room on the first floor, Ellie, Theo, and Randy sit at the table, and Rui stands behind Ellie. Although Ellie also persuaded her to sit down, how could Rui, who was so frightened, dare to sit down?

"Ahem...... Ellie coughed routinely, and her voice suddenly changed to Ellie Conan Doyle.

Theo and Randy, who had just recovered, looked at her earnestly.

"What about the so-called case, there should be a motive, right?" Ellie said, a mysterious smile on her face, her emerald eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Randy and Theo with confidence in her chest.

"yes, that's right." Randy nodded in agreement.

"So, how about putting that motivation aside?"

"Not good! Didn't you bring it up first! Randy slapped his palm on his forehead, and the whole person lay on the table as if he had been knocked down, Theo touched Randy's dark red hair sympathetically, and sighed softly.

"Because, the motivation is so easy to solve. It's okay if you're hungry, hungry, or whatever. Let's assume that outsiders committed the crime......"

"No...... I don't think it'......" Randy didn't look up, his face buried in his arms, his voice a little muffled.

"So, why did this outsider choose to come when we were all in the Support Division? If you want to do something with scallops, it's more convenient to take advantage of the fact that we're all out to work, right? ”

"In a sense...... Yes. Theo thought for a moment, and agreed with Ellie's argument.

"Right! High risk, low return, obviously just scallops......"

"Because it's just scallops that make a big fuss......" Randy interjected inappropriately. Ellie glanced at him, ignored him, and continued, "Then why choose to come when we are all here? The reason is simple......"

"Because, the murderer is an insider! That is, the murderer is among us! ”

"Didn't you recognize this in the first place......" Randy repeated as he lifted his head and slapped his arm on it, as if he had collapsed.

"And, the murderer, must be the least likely to commit a crime!"

Then, Ellie smirked again. This time Randy had given up arguing with her.

"So, You Jun, who seems to be the most suspicious, has been excluded!"

This kid definitely did it...... Randy said. Of course, he had given up arguing with Ellie.

"Who, then, among us, is the least likely to sin?" Ellie had a smug smile on her face.

"Me? Theo? Or Miss Rui? Randy looked up, a little curious as to who was the least likely person to sin in Ellie's mind.

"There is always only one truth, which excludes all the impossible, and the rest, even if it is sad, is the only true ......" Ellie's tone suddenly became vicissitudes. I guess it's a line from a novel, right?

"Then, the real culprit is ............"

Swallow saliva.

"It's Royd-kun!"

"Huh?!"

VOL.10

"In every sense of the word...... It's all super exciting conclusions......" Randy let out a long sigh.

Is this the so-called drunken contrast?

The more calm, rational and intellectual people are, the more vexatious they will be when they get drunk?

Saying...... Am I going to be a good man who is mature and steady when I'm drunk?!

The topic jumped so fast that Randy's brain instinctively diverted him.

"Here's how it happened." Ellie casually pointed to Lloyd, who was still lying on the ground.

-- Detective Ellie's name reasoning! ―――

Lloyd first proposed to You Jun when he got up early to cook, and asked him to make scallops, but when You Jun was preparing the ingredients and knives, he quickly took out the breakfast that had already been prepared—omelet rice or something—and gave it to You Jun, saying that he had accidentally prepared more. Then trick him into giving up making scallops.

Such a purpose, of course, is to leave fingerprints so that he can be blamed. Then, use the captain's authority to rush him to the mission. That way, he could kill the nine poor lives without any risk.

Then, having done it all quietly, he secretly hid back, wanting to be the first to discover.

As a result, just when he was proud to think that his plan was foolproof, the plan changed.

A man who wasn't supposed to be there appeared in the living room.

Yes, that's me. Because I was very thirsty in the morning, I went to the living room for a drink. Hmph, it is precisely because of this that Lloyd cannot be the first person to discover the corpse! Therefore, he was worried that his crime would be exposed, so he chose to cut himself! Then, when the passing section chief saw his subordinate fall to the ground, his first reaction was, of course, to save him! As a result, he was fatally killed by Lloyd, who had a plot in mind!

As a search officer, even I, a detective, were almost deceived!

Ladies and gentlemen, no matter how difficult this truth may be to accept, but after all possibilities have been ruled out, this is the only truth.

-- Detective Ellie's name reasoning! The End --

Amazed.

This was Randy's only reaction after hearing this reasoning.

This reasoning is also ......

It's too messy, isn't it......

But for the sake of us today, so, Lloyd-kun, please go.

Randy looked at Lloyd, who had not yet woken up, and in his eyes, the flaxen-haired boy who had fallen to the ground looked like an angel.

Theo also felt that this reasoning was too nonsense, but she made a clever choice not to break it. After all, Ellie's predecessors are still in a state of alcoholism, and there is no rationality at all.

"Well, I'm back."

With a familiar mouth fetish, the black-haired youth in a white trench coat returned.

Rui couldn't hold back any longer, sprinting, flying, and shooting directly into Yu's arms.

"What's wrong? Small? ”

You asked with concern, seeing that she didn't answer and just cried vigorously, You turned her eyes back to Randy and Theo. Both of them shook their heads in obscurity. You raised an eyebrow and looked at Ellie again.

Seeing Ellie looking at him with a bitter and hateful face, the black-haired young man scratched his cheek in confusion and asked, "Ellie, don't you know me?" Of course, he could see that Ellie's face was unusually flushed, and he understood the idea when he thought of the spirits and drinks that were easily confused yesterday.

"I didn't expect it...... It's you......," Ellie said hatefully.

"No...... Why can't it be me......" You asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression. He was confused by the question.

"You're the one who killed the scallops, right?"

"Huh? yes, didn't I just say yesterday that I want to make garlic scallops? ”

"So, what about Lloyd? What about the section chief? ”

"Oh, of course you can't enjoy good things alone, I'll ask the section chief to eat together, Lloyd I know too well, didn't he just fall at your feet?"

"You...... Mix...... Egg ......" said this, Ellie staggered two steps, her feet were weak, and the whole person fell. Of course, You didn't watch her fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward, because Rui was still holding on to his chest, so he had no choice but to rush over with her. Then he put his arm around Ellie's waist and let her lie down slowly.

Randy let out a long sigh of relief.

"Uh...... It hurts...... It's so cold......"

Muttering.

The flaxen-haired investigator shuddered, and finally regained consciousness.

"Everyone? …… Ellie? …… What's going on? ”

Lloyd asked confusedly. Randy sighed softly, "It's a long story...... Please listen slowly. ”

VOL.11

[This is Ellie's point of view, the previous scene.] 】

"Well, I'm back!"

With an arrogant smile, a young man with black hair walked in while pinching his knuckles. Seeing this, Watson (Rui) quickly pounced to stop him from advancing, although Watson did not speak, Ellie knew that his companion was telling him to run away!

There is no doubt that according to the law that the mastermind behind the scenes is always the last to show up, the man in front of him, his friend who has known him for many years (in fact, he has known him for less than a week), Yu Tatsumi, is his enemy!

In this way, the person who killed the section chief seems to be a person who is proficient in martial arts......

"What's wrong? Watson? Is that all you can do? ”

The inhuman smile completely defied Watson's courage to fight for his life, and Yu Tatsumi said in a condescending tone, as if to show his compassion, and as if to say Watson's powerlessness, You did not push Watson away.

"I didn't expect it...... It's you......," Ellie said hatefully.

A playful smile appeared on You's face: "Oh roar? Why can't it be me? ”

As he said this, he saw that a black air mass suddenly erupted from You's body, condensing into bat wings behind him, and sheep horns suddenly grew on his forehead.

Demon! There is no doubt that this guy has betrayed his soul to the devil.

"You're the one who killed the scallops, right?"

"Huh? yes, didn't I just say that yesterday? You laughed, the meaning was obvious: I gave you a night to prepare, why can't you protect them well?

"So, what about Lloyd? What about the section chief? ”

"Oh, of course good things can't be enjoyed exclusively, I'll be called the section chief, of course, how can I let go of the witnesses? Lloyd, I know too well, didn't he just fall at your feet? The damned demon had a mocking smile on his face.

"You...... Mix...... ......"Ellie is about to rush to fight him to the death—the righteous warrior and the evil demon are destined to fight." Suddenly, Ellie felt that her feet were weak and her whole body was weak, and she wondered what kind of demonic magic Yu Tatsumi had used!

I'm sorry...... Lloyd...... Have I wronged you...... I'm sorry, everyone, blame me...... It was too late to find out...... This was Ellie's last thought, and in her blurred vision, Yu Tatsumi had already come to her side, holding her waist with one hand, probably to dig out her heart, right?

Farewell...... World.

Then, consciousness went into chaos.

VOL.12

"......Uhh I'm so tired......" Ellie said, stretching on the bed. Her soft skin sensitively felt the soft touch of the bed, which made her feel very comfortable.

The sun was also warm, shining on itself from the window.

"Oops! When has this been! Ellie hurriedly got up and changed her clothes.

In the panic, Ellie didn't even notice that she had always been used to sleeping in pajamas, and today she slept in her clothes.

Hurriedly tidying up her clothes, going to the bathroom to wash up two handfuls at will, and before she even had time to wash her hair, Ellie hurried downstairs.

The companions of the support department are all there, and on the table is the standard breakfast of egg toast with sausages. Seeing themselves going downstairs, their expressions were a little strange.

"Good morning, everyone, sorry I'm up late." Ellie hastened to apologize.

"No, it doesn't matter. That one...... Ellie......" looked a little embarrassed, and Lloyd asked her, "Ellie, don't you remember yesterday?" ”

"Yesterday?" Ellie thought about it carefully, and it seemed that she really didn't have any impression of yesterday. "Sorry...... Was there anything yesterday? ”

It seemed that they had forgotten, and several people in the support department breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Seeing their strange appearances, Ellie didn't ask much and ran downstairs in small steps.

"Anyway, scallops...... It's time to eat it, right? Ellie asked, a little embarrassed, as if she remembered something.

"Actually...... I ate ...... yesterday," You said with a strange look.

"Huh?! What a pity! Anyway, why eat it when I'm not around? ”

It looks like I'm so drunk that I've forgotten all about yesterday...... Randy said.

"So, what does the wavy scallop taste like? I'm looking forward to ......"

Of course, a few people made up some nonsense and fooled the past.

In fact, the wavy scallop was deliberately left behind.

No one remembers that it was Ellie herself who ate the wavy scallops.

In this way, the Special Mission Support Section lived an ordinary ...... In fact, it was quite an extraordinary day.
