Chapter 10: Requiem Grass

Worthy of the sheriff of Sixth Street.

Before the smoke cleared, a figure jumped from the second floor, and the windbreaker behind him rattled.

"What's going on!"

Reka gripped the pistol hard, looking around warily.

Oreo leaned on his cane in one hand and looked at the door.

"Ran away."

"Damn it!"

Reka cursed and then broke through the door, and it didn't take long for the two people inside the door to hear the detective's classic line.

"Stop!"

Of course, the voyeur outside the window would not stop, he was familiar with the route here, and ran straight down a certain canal, several times faster than taking the stairs.

But Reka never takes the stairs.

He saw the right moment and jumped off a platform to kick the suspicious man into the air.

The man's reaction was faster than he expected, and he was ready to get up almost as soon as he landed

— but only in preparation.

"Bang!"

A dull gunshot rang out, and a bullet swept off the turf in the man's hand, narrowly missing his right arm.

Tamia withdrew her pistol and spoke in a commanding voice.

"Handcuffed."

"Hoo ......"

Reka rolled her eyes, but eventually handcuffed the man neatly.

By the time the three of them returned to the lobby of the villa, Oreo had already turned on the headlights, and the pale gas lamps hummed like nothing, but fortunately they weren't harsh.

Reka pressed the man against the stool, leaned over, and asked preemptively.

"Say, who sent you?"

The man was sifting chaff and shuddering.

"It's... Be... It's ......"

He said yes three times in a row, but in the end he didn't say anything, and he was trembling vigorously.

Tamia sat in the middle of the largest couch with her arms crossed, seemingly unintentionally interrogating the prisoner.

Oreo, on the other hand, seemed to be in a lack of interest, after all, he had little interest in this kind of interrogation of the undead.

"Yes," the man swallowed, "yes... Boss Tsunayoshi sent me. ”

Before the man could finish speaking, Reka continued to ask.

"What did you send me for!"

The man lowered his head and looked at his waist.

"Point... Light mosquito coils. ”

"Hit you with a hammer!"

Reka asked as she thumped his head hard. "Say, what the hell are you here for!"

Seeing this rude scene, Tamia frowned, but did not stop her.

The man looked pained, but he obviously didn't want to be beaten again, so he had to say it in fits and starts.

“...... It's really... Dot..."

"Return!"

Reka stretched out his right hand and struck, but Tamia immediately stopped him.

"Sheriff Reka, can't you just let him finish!"

"He also wants to order mosquito coils!"

Reka snapped and pointed at Oreo.

"This kid is mentally retarded, but he's not stupid enough to shoot someone at a resort."

Tamia frowned and glanced at the lewd man sitting next to him, it seemed that Reka trusted him quite a bit.

"Maybe he's lighting mosquito coils."

Oreo folded all the continent cards and stuffed them back into the box.

"But the ingredients of the mosquito coil ......"

"It's the Ghost Grass! That's the smell of ghost grass! ”

Before Oreo could finish speaking, Angelil hurriedly said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head because of her abruptness, but both sheriffs showed thoughtful expressions.

"Ghost Grass ......"

Reka muttered to herself, drawing the pistol from her waist.

Seeing this terrible scene, the man screamed.

"It was given to me by Boss Tsunakishi! I don't know what ghost grass is! You can ask Tsunayoshi boss! ”

"Tsunamichi?"

Reka rolled his eyes, "No matter what, you can't get rid of suspicion, stay honest with me!" ”

He retracted his pistol and looked at Tamya.

"I'm going to get Tsunayoshi here."

Tamia patted the dust on her trench coat and said lightly.

"After all, this is someone else's territory, and it's better to work in groups of two people."

At such a critical moment, there had to be a strong man left, so he pointed to Oreo and said.

"Then I'll go with him."

"I have individual suggestions." Oreo put the top hat on his head, "The four of us, take this man with us to find Tsunyoshi." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the villa with his cane in his hand, turned around and shouted.

"Reka!"

Reka gave a helpless expression as she forced the man to his feet.

"Be honest!"

Tamia rolled her eyes, if the mosquito coil really had requiem grass as the girl said, then if there was no reminder from this man, the situation of several people tonight would be unimaginable.

So she got up and walked shoulder to shoulder with the girl towards Tsunaya's residence.

"Tsunaya!"

Tsunayoshi lived in a small bungalow next to the resort door, and Reka knocked the door, he knew the job well.

It didn't take long for him to hear footsteps inside the door, and Tsunayoshi poked his head out in fear.

After seeing the battle outside the door, he was obviously startled.

Reka pointed at the strange man, then asked viciously.

"Is this your person?"

Tsunayoshi nodded.

"It's... Did he offend a couple of detectives? ”

The impression of the resort owner is not bad, Reka said in a slow tone.

"You asked him to get some mosquito coils?"

"Yes."

Tsunayoshi nodded again and added.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes in the second half of the night, and we usually light a few rolls of mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes in the second half of the night."

Reka didn't take out the mosquito coil with the ghost grass on it for the first time, but asked a different question.

"Take out a roll of mosquito coils from your resort and show me."

"Yes."

Tsunayoshi ran into the house quickly, and it didn't take long for him to take out a roll of mosquito coils.

Reka handed the strange man into Oreo's hands, broke the mosquito coil, and looked down to sniff it.

Tsunayoshi stood aside for no apparent reason, with a funny expression that wanted to yawn but didn't dare.

Snorting again, Reka handed the coil back to Tsunaki.

Taking advantage of Tsunayoshi's bowing head, Reka pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at Tsunyoshi's head.

"Boss Gangji, I said why are you so hospitable, it turns out that there is ghost grass in the mosquito coil!"

He pulled half of the trigger and said viciously.

"Tell me, who made you do this!"

Oreo pushed the pistol away, forgetting that he was the one who started the matter.

"It's not surprising that there is ghost grass in mosquito coils."

Hearing Oreo's words, Tsunayoshi showed a grateful expression.

"Yes, this kind of mosquito coil is very popular among the nobility, after all, the ghost grass can calm the nerves."

"I'll just say, Reka, why are you so suspicious."

Oreo patted Reka on the shoulder, "Remember the weekend of the last two weeks, when we came here, we lit mosquito coils like this, didn't you sleep like a dead pig back then?" ”

Tsunayoshi breathed a sigh of relief and picked up Oreo's words.

"We've been using this mosquito coil here."

"I see."

Reka muttered, raising the pistol again.
