Shiraishi bought a newspaper and went home to take a look at it, and found that it was quite a sensation.

- The firewood tower on Mermaid Island was half-burned, and the people who added firewood to it felt that something was wrong, and then a few brave people went to pick up the firewood, and were shocked to find three corpses from the ashes.

The flesh and skin of the corpse had been burned, and only a little charred bone remained, the upper half of the skeleton was still intact, but the lower half was broken, and it looked like it had no feet.

A similar "mermaid corpse" appeared once three years ago.

But this time it was different, this time, three people were clearly missing on the island. The police also took extra care when examining the charred bones, and determined that the body was only smashed with legs and feet, and not really without bones.

Because of this incident, the investigation of the case three years ago was also reopened, but after all, too long has passed since that incident, and the identity of the deceased is unknown, and the case is likely to not continue.

Shiraishi is not worried that Shimabukuro Junhui will be caught, smashing people's legs is not an easy job, Shimabukuro Junhui's thin physique, anyone with a discerning eye knows that she will smash at most one chicken, even if the mermaid bones once appeared in her warehouse, it can't be regarded as ironclad evidence related to the owner of the house and the case.

This kind of physical work was probably done by Belmode's temporary partner.

To be Belmode's partner, do you need such a strong psychological quality and hands-on ability...... Shiraishi thought for a moment and felt that he could too, so he put the newspaper aside with peace of mind and continued to flip through it.

……

The next day, after reading the middle volume, Shiraishi plans to go to the bookstore to see if the next volume has been written.

As a result, as soon as I went out, I saw Suzuki Sonoko waiting for Mao Lilan next to him, and when I saw him, my eyes lit up, and I immediately rushed over to say hello.

As she approached, Shiraishi felt that she was much taller than before. If you look closely, Sonoko Suzuki is wearing a pair of platform shoes on her feet, which looks like she has stepped on a pair of stilts.

After this glance, the task pops up.

Shiraishi sighed in his heart, but he wasn't too surprised.

In fact, when he saw Suzuki Sonoko's shoes on his feet, he already remembered the case.

The cause was the son of an underground parking security guard, who rushed out to pick up a ball in a dimly lit place and was hit by a car and died.

Although the bear child has more pots, the father who lost his son still hates the driver.

The driver was a young and fashionable girl wearing a pair of platform shoes, and the security guard felt that if she hadn't worn those shoes at the time, she would have had time to hit the brakes and her son would not have died.

So he took advantage of his position to attack women who wore these shoes to drive. In the original world line, Sonoko Suzuki wore platform shoes to pick up something in the car, and was mistaken for a driver by the security guard, and was almost shot in the head with a stick.

Shiraishi was so impressed by this strange shoe that when he was a child, he watched this episode more and more, and the more he watched it, the more greedy he became, and finally he had to pause halfway through and go to the street to buy a large piece of muffin cake, and bring it back to eat and watch it.

No, I can't look at it anymore, I want to eat cakes again, and the island country doesn't know where to sell it......

Shiraishi looked away from Sonoko Suzuki's brand-new shoes and noticed that the girl was looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for an evaluation.

"It's pretty good." Shiraishi nodded and said euphemistically, "But it's still your previous pair that looks better, and that pair ......"

He casually described several common features of shoes.

Suzuki Sonoko listened carefully for a while, and suddenly slapped his palm: "Is it the pair I wore when I went to the magic exhibition, I also like it!" ”

Shiraishi remembers what shoes Sonoko Suzuki wears every day. He only remembered that except for this time, Suzuki Sonoko's shoes did not have such thick soles. And as long as she doesn't wear these shoes, she won't be targeted by the security guards, and then she will be worried about knocking on the stick.

Now that Suzuki Sonoko remembered for herself, Shiraishi nodded.

Suzuki Sonoko first secretly rubbed and looked at her clothes today, and found that it was a little strange to wear the shoes she wore on the day of the magic show. However, it is normal for there to be differences in aesthetics! If you want to be sultry, of course, you have to sacrifice a little of your hobby!

Sonoko Suzuki took a deep breath and texted the housekeeper while Shiraishi was on his way to the bookstore.

It didn't take long for a car to drive over, and Suzuki Sonoko slipped into the car like a thief, quickly changed his shoes, and walked down as if nothing had happened, and greeted Mao Lilan who was going up and down the stairs.

The bookstore was not far from the door, and the two were still there when Shiraishi returned.

Sonoko Suzuki deliberately walked around him a few times, probably to show off the shoes on her feet that were "very in line with Shiraishi's aesthetic", and then asked him if he wanted to go shopping together: "Today, there are new products at the Prada in the Rice Flower Mall, and I heard that there are also a few great men's boots!" ”

What happened just now gave her a wrong understanding of Shiraishi's preferences.

Shiraishi had heard of this brand, and Gray Yuan Ai liked it very much, and when she went to the doctor's house for dinner, she could occasionally see her bag hanging on the coat and hat by the door. Because the brand name looks a bit like a panda, Shiraishi is very impressed.

He wanted to say yes and take the time to hand over the security guard to the police.

But then a bell rang in his ears that no one else could hear.

Shiraishi changed his words halfway through his words, smiled and said, "I have something to do today, you can go." ”

Suzuki Sonoko was a little disappointed, but seeing that Shiraishi was really not interested in shopping, he could only wave his hand and regret leaving.

Shiraishi got home, closed the door, and took out the still vibrating phone from his backpack.

The phone was strangely modified by Momiji, and later after he almost missed his salary, he urgently added a number of custom ringtones.

For a few members of the brewery, the ringtone will be different from the others, and Shiraishi will know who is calling by listening to the voice, so he doesn't have to worry about missing a call.

It was Belmode's bell ringing just now.

Shiraishi just wanted to press the answer button reservedly, and then ask calmly and coldly, "What's the matter", but suddenly remembered that it was still the voice of the body, so he stopped dangerously and cut into a vest.

When I picked up the phone again, although the action was fast enough, the ringtone was still broken.

Shiraishi stared at the caller ID a few times, and felt that this was not bad, and the tool man could not be on call, and if he was too obedient, he would become a licking dog, and he would lick until he had nothing in the end...... So he waited 5 seconds and dialed back.

Five seconds should be enough, and if it's too late, Belmode might have to find that public face.

I am so cautious, not because I want to partner with her, but because only when Belmode thinks he is a qualified tool man and will take him with him when he is doing trouble, so as to facilitate the task...... That's right, that's it.

Shiraishi was worried about whether there would be a prompt sound that the other side was talking to after dialing it.

But no.

The mobile phone rang with a ringtone, and then someone picked it up, and there was a lazy voice unique to Belmode, and there was even the sound of water on the other side of the earpiece, eighty percent of it was taking a bath, she was very honest, and she went straight to the point: "Are you interested in doing me a favor?" ”
