Chapter 12

"I think you can understand that I only snatched Merkel's safe from the robbers."

Oreo said slowly, "The most important thing has been taken by the robbers in advance, so the rest of the safes are full of gold, at least that's what I thought before I grabbed that safe." ”

Tamia pursed her lips.

"Mr. Detective, you seem to be out of luck, aren't you?"

Failing to answer Tamia's words, Oreo spoke to himself.

"It's going to take me a lot of effort to track down that gang of robbers, so I'll at least have to open this safe, even if the contents aren't valuable, but it'll make me feel better."

Tamia withdrew her gaze, folded her hands behind her back, and paced two steps through the small room.

She paused abruptly and tilted her head to ask.

"What do you think might be in this box?"

"Who knows."

Oreo spread his hands casually, "It won't be a box of gold coins anyway." ”

Tamia narrowed her eyes and said quickly.

"Walden Bank has put up a bounty, if anyone can recover the safe, then they will reward that person with 10,000 gold coins, and I think your safe is worth at least 200 gold coins."

Oreo rolled his eyes.

"If I really didn't have the two hundred gold coins, I don't think I would be sitting here talking to you."

Tamia said quietly.

"Lord Oreo, with all due respect, you've been working for the poor for most of the last month, how much gold can they pay you?"

“......”

After asking the sharp question, Oreo fell silent.

But his eyes were as calm as water.

"You can assume I know what's in that box."

Oreo raised his head and said word by word.

Without giving Oreo more time to think, Tamia asked.

"And Mr. Detective, in your hypothesis, what's in that box?"

Oreo replied.

"I'm assuming that the big guys' target wasn't actually the cut safe, but that their real target was actually the box. I guess there must be a message in this box. ”

Tamia leaned down.

"It's a far-fetched assumption, but ...... What's the information? ”

Oreo snapped the knuckles of his right hand one after the other.

"A message that is not good for them, of course."

Tamia nodded, not saying anything more.

The two maintained a delicate distance between them, not far and not close, like friends and foes.

Tamia tries to analyze Oreo's facial expressions with what she learned at the police academy, but the last focus is on his long eyelashes.

How can a man have such long eyelashes?

Without giving Tamia any more observation, Oreo yawned without hesitation and stood up.

"Sheriff Tamia, it's getting late, I think it's time for me to go back."

Tamia tilted her head and said with interest.

"Do you need me to send you?"

"No,"

Oreo shook his head and added, "I remember that I actually know how to do invisibility. ”

Tamia stepped aside half of her body, and judging by her expression, it was clear that she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't say a word.

Pushing open the iron door, Oreo greeted politely.

"Sheriff Tamia, good night."

After saying that, he took the iron gate and left quickly.

Looking away from the iron door, Tamia muttered, "A message? That's a lot of fun. ”

......

"Zizizi."

My ears filled my ears with this strange voice.

Oreo thought it was the echo of his dream, but in the end he realized that the voice was in his ears.

He opened his eyes vigilantly to find a white figure wandering around the office.

"Who?"

He muttered as he reached for his staff.

"Mr. Oreo!"

The white figure suddenly spoke, his tone a little annoyed, "You don't want to see what time it is." ”

Oh, it turned out to be Angelyl in an apron.

Oreo relieved himself and retracted his chair.

But after a while he sat up again, and said in confusion.

"Angelil, how did you get in?"

Angelelle waved the spatula in her hand and said through gritted teeth.

"You didn't lock the door at all!"

"Oh."

Oreo answered.

When I came back yesterday, I had something on my mind, and it wasn't unusual for me to lock the door.

Hearing the sizzling sound again, Oreo sniffed.

"Angelil, are you pancakes?"

"That's right."

As he spoke, the voice had stopped.

Angelyl's footsteps rang out in the office, and the voice finally stopped at her side.

Oreo opened one eye and stared at Angelil suspiciously.

Angelyl lowered her head and said angrily.

"Wake up for breakfast!"

"Hmm."

Oreo answered, lifted his coat, and prepared to get up.

But Angelyl didn't take her head off her head.

Oreo looked at her sleepily.

"I'm getting up."

Angelyl's head lowered, she sniffled, and quickly got up.

"I'll go get the milk."

After Angelyl left, Oreo grabbed his collar and sniffed it carefully.

It's not as stinky as you thought.

He dropped his collar and stood up triumphantly.

After walking around the office several times, he finally found his toothbrush in the corner of the utility room, but there was no trace of toothpaste.

"Damn Caron."

He cursed as usual as he walked out of the office and bought toothpaste at the grocery store across the street.

When he put the toothbrush in his mouth, he realized that it wasn't his favorite toothpaste, but at this point, he had to settle for it.

He sat back in his seat, flipped through the pancakes with his fork for a few moments, and then heard footsteps outside the door, but it wasn't Angely.

"Reka, long time no see."

Reka rubbed the soles of his shoes against the door frame and sniffled as he said,

"I didn't want to come in, but it smelled so good."

He stopped at the table, stuffed the whole pancake that belonged to Angelyl into his mouth, swallowed it, and asked vaguely.

"You did this?"

“......”

Oreo was silent, holding another pancake in front of him, and then said.

"Angelyl did it."

"No wonder."

Reka rubbed her eyes, "But why did she make you pancakes, you two live together?" ”

Glancing at the figure at the door, Oreo explained earnestly.

"Angelyl worked as my assistant during this time, and making breakfast was part of the assistant's daily routine."

"Oh......"

Reka let out a meaningful sound, then turned and walked out the door.

"Then I won't bother you."

Angelyl waited by the door, whispering hello.

"Sheriff Reka."

"Reka,"

Oreo stopped Reka, "What have you been busy with in the past two days, do you need my help?" ”
