Chapter 8: The Elves of Erkasu
"Reka."
The voice grew clearer and clearer, and Reka finally figured out the source of the voice, which was directly behind him.
He turned around and saw a guy in a black suit looking up at him below.
The formal fit was extremely ill-fitting and looked like a clown.
"How are you?"
Reka had a look of disgust, he had dealt with this difficult guy in the past when he was on Ninth Street
- mainly for the landlord to urge this shameless aristocrat to pay the rent on time.
Oreo walked up the stairs, took off his top hat, and slapped the half of the newspaper into Recca's hand.
"Detective Reka, long time no see. By the way, I used the name of the Ninth Street City Patrol at the door just now, and the boss said that he could waive my room fee, which is really a double happiness. ”
Reka pursed her lips and glanced at the newspaper message slightly, emphasizing.
"Sheriff, I'm a sheriff now."
"Congratulations Reka, you really didn't lose our face on Ninth Street."
Oreo patted Recca on the shoulder, tucked his top hat into his arms, and walked towards the ruins with his hands behind his back.
Oh my God, how familiar this kid is.
Reka shook the top hat in his hand, and without thinking about it, he knew that it was covered with midsummer sweat, and it must be a foul smell.
Oreo didn't feel guilty, he stood in the middle of the room, looked left and right, and finally walked back to Reka.
"Own hat ...... yourself"
Before Reka could finish speaking, he saw Oreo pull the detective manual from his waist.
Tutan is on top, and if it weren't for Tamia, he would have hammered this little man into a patty with one punch.
Oreo casually skimmed through Reka's detective manual, muttering to himself from time to time.
"The Marquis of Peiqiya's house was stolen and a statue was lost... How stupid would it take to steal an entire statue? ”
"Then the statue is a big slap ......" Reka reacted quickly, "If you peep into the Inspector's privacy again, I have the right to arrest you!" ”
"Papapapa"
Oreo rudely flipped the page, quickly turning to the latest one, which was a description of the resort fire, though his attention was clearly not on it.
"Reka, if you can receive the case of the Marquis, it seems that you have been promoted. What street is it now? Fourth Street or Fifth Street? ”
“......”
Reka angrily snapped the hat to Oreo's head, "Don't you know what street Marquis Pekia lives on, you damned civilian, I wish you to stay on Ninth Street forever!" ”
"I think your curse is no longer valid."
Oreo handed Reka the detective manual, and tucked his hat into his arms again.
"I've moved to 10th Street, and the rent isn't cheap there."
Reka wanted to curse something, but Tamia had already walked out with the girl.
In order to act that he was not familiar with the short man, he hurriedly put Oreo's hat on the protrusion of the railing.
Seeing the long-legged beauty, Oreo whistled and then elbowed Reka.
"Sheriff Reka, your subordinates are so beautiful."
Before Tamia kicked Oreo away, Reka said quickly.
"That's Sheriff Tamia on Fifth Street."
Oreo changed his face in an instant, took his top hat from the railing, placed it on his chest, and bowed slightly.
"Sheriff Tamia, it's a pleasure to see you."
Tamia paid no attention to him, and she felt disgusted from the first sight of the little man. And it seems that she is very familiar with Reka, and it is certainly not a good thing.
"Tamya, have you found anything?"
Reka hurried over to Tamya, trying to distance herself from the funny shorty.
Tamia walked straight towards the resort's cistern.
"There are no valuable clues, and besides, it's getting dark, and I'm going to investigate it for another day tomorrow."
After the two left, Oreo leaned on the railing, looking at Tamya's slender legs, looking like a color embryo.
The girl in the bib had noticed Oreo for a long time, after all, it was hard not to remember the funny outfit.
She folded the newspaper neatly, put it in her pocket, and went down the stairs, not looking to bother with Oreo.
"Hoo ......"
After the girl descended the stairs, Oreo withdrew his gaze.
He turned and stared at the dark ruins of the setting sun, muttering to himself.
"If I knew she was here, why should I waste an Elkasu elf?"
......
As if to appease these upper-class people, the resort owner, Tsunayoshi, prepared a rather sumptuous dinner.
In addition to the local specialties, there is also a golden roast suckling pig, which is hard to find even on Fifth Street.
After soaking her feet in the pool, Tamia was in a much better mood.
But as she walked to the table in her slippers, her face suddenly became gloomy.
The scruffy man and Reka sat together, and the two were chatting happily with a roasted pig's foot in each hand.
Because it was a relationship with her back to Tamia, Reka didn't see Tamia at the first time, but Oreo greeted her first.
He raised the roast pork leg on his right hand and said earnestly.
"Sheriff Tamia, do you want roast pig's feet?"
Bad pick-up is a bad one.
Tamia snorted coldly, moved a chair and sat across from the girl, taking a small bite of other food.
When the conversation fails, Oreo is not frustrated, but happily touches the roasted pork leg with Reka.
"Sheriff Reka, celebrate our reunion after 63 days!"
In the presence of Tamia, Reka hurriedly withdrew the roasted pork leg and did not toast to Oreo. However, he still failed to hold back the enthusiastic Oreo, and the two symbolically touched the roast pork leg.
After a full meal, Tsunayoshi appeared in the restaurant at the right time.
"A few detectives, the easternmost villa has been packed, and if you are investigating the fire, it is most convenient to live there."
"Boss!"
Oreo hiccuped, "Do you have anything else to tell us about that night?" ”
"Tutan is above," Tsunayoshi said in fear, "the flames must be the punishment of the Tutan gods, I can't even run, how dare I pay attention to those." ”
Oreo took in the boss's look and then said pompously.
"Boss, don't worry, if someone really set the fire and there are two sheriffs here, we will definitely catch the real murderer!"
"It's great......"
Tsunayoshi laughed with him, not knowing what to say for a while.
Fortunately, Tamia stood up, stretching her body and looking at the villa to the left of the ruins.
"Boss, is that the house?"
Tsunayoshi nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, it's already packed, just four rooms."
Tamia was about to say thanks, but Oreo didn't know where to come from, and he stood beside the boss, pointing at the villa.
"Boss, which room is the most spacious?"
Deep down, though, he wanted to hammer the sheriff's henchman to death—at least that's what Tsunayoshi thought—he said politely.
"It's pretty much the same, but the rooms on the second floor will be more spacious."
"Woohoo!"
Oreo wiped the grease stains on his palms on his suit and said loudly.
"Then I live on the second floor!"
"Huh."
Tamia snorted, lifted her boots, and walked briskly towards the villa.
After Tamia walked away, Oreo turned around and winked at Reka.
"How's it going, Inspector Reka?"
It took Reka a moment to understand what Oreo meant, but he said it with a pretending of seriousness.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
