Chapter 12: Hope, Happiness, and Curse

"You're still a detective!" Zheng Hanfei slowly took out a deck of playing cards from his pocket and prepared for the battle, "You really disappointed me, I misjudged you!" ”

"Shut up!" Ouyang Xiu stared at Zheng Hanfei deadly, "This sentence should be said by me, you are not the Zheng Hanfei I know at all." ”

"Humph!" Zheng Hanfei smiled faintly, but his eyes were not full of smiles at all, he was still so cold, "I am who I am, but that weak character is not the real me at all." ”

"Wrong! That's the real you! While speaking, Ouyang Xiu rushed over quickly, stretched out his hand, and the wooden stick hit Zheng Hanfei's head, no, it should be said that it was the hat Zheng Hanfei was wearing on his head.

Zheng Hanfei's head moved back slightly, dodging the attack, and at the same time, the middle finger and index finger of both hands were holding a playing card, just when Ouyang Xiu was about to make the next attack, he swung hard, and the two playing cards hit Ouyang Xiu's left hand at a strange angle, and a slight redness and swelling slowly appeared on Ouyang Xiu's hand.

So fast! Ouyang Xiu was slightly startled, his eyes gradually narrowed, and said: "I didn't expect you to actually practice, but your previous performance is difficult for me to remind, is it well hidden." ”

"If that's all you have, then I advise you, don't stop it." Zheng Hanfei shook the playing cards in his hand, "A criminal will never escape being punished." ”

"I told you, I won't let you get away with it, and besides, they didn't steal anything at all, they just played a simple prank." Ouyang Xiu explained as he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, making Zheng Hanfei wonder.

Bang! Suddenly, gunshots rang out throughout the venue, leaving Diro and Katie stunned, and Zheng Hanfei even looked behind him to find out who the shooter was.

"Medium!" Ouyang Xiu suddenly rushed over, grabbed the wooden stick with both hands, slashed across Zheng Hanfei's head, and hit the hat on his head, and suddenly, the hat left the top of Zheng Hanfei's head, floated in the air, and then fell to the ground weakly.

Whoa! The playing cards that were clenched in Zheng Hanfei's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and Zheng Hanfei himself looked at Ouyang Xiu with dull eyes, and after a while, he came back to his senses.

"Thank you!" Zheng Hanfei covered his head and thanked weakly, it could be seen from his painful expression and the cold sweat on his forehead that his headache seemed to have flare-up again.

"You're welcome!" Ouyang Xiu put away the wooden stick and said coldly, "The cursed boy who is inclined to darkness needs warmth and care more, doesn't he?" ”

"It's not." Zheng Hanfei smiled helplessly, and grabbed his head with his hand, "In the dark, once you are exposed to the sun, there is only one way to die." ”

"Say no more!" Ouyang Xiu stretched his waist and yawned, "The current situation has at least made me understand something...... That's right! Do you still have to send them to the police station? ”

"Are you kidding?" Glancing at the grinning Diro and the frightened Katie, Zheng Hanfei smiled at them and said, "Although I don't like to listen to what they say, what they are doing this time is a prank, and it doesn't constitute a crime at all, and I definitely can't send them to the police station." ”

"Thanks!" Ouyang Xiu gently pushed Zheng Hanfei with his elbow and thanked him.

"Oh, yes!" Zheng Hanfei seemed to remember something, slapped his face, and then shouted: "Uncle Sterling, come out quickly, you don't have to hide anymore." ”

"Well, do you only think of me now?" Sterling slowly slipped out from under the table in the dining area, looking complaining, "I've been squatting for a long time, I'm tired to death." ”

"Dad!" Diro and Katie shouted.

"You ...... Is it because you hate me? Sterling stared at his child, his eyes full of disappointment.

"Dad, act......ually," Diro said after glancing at Katie, "it's my sister who wants you to come back for his birthday." ”

"Diro!"

"Sister! Don't hide it anymore! Actually, you've forgiven your dad a long time ago, aren't you? ”

“……”

There was silence in the room.

"Uncle Stirling." In the end, Zheng Hanfei opened his mouth to break the silence, "I guess, Katie wants to tell you: they won't be happy and happy without you at all, so they used the means of threatening the letter, but unfortunately, you didn't understand it, and you brought me here, so this case was triggered...... No, it should be a prank. Just like the meaning of the signature on the threatening letter - the elf in acheron. ”

Sterling was silent for a moment and laughed at himself, "Perhaps, I was really wrong, their mother died early, so I tried to make as much money as possible so that they could live happily." Unfortunately, I didn't realize it, or I did, but I didn't think about it, and that's why it happened. ”

"However, this incident completely woke me up." Speaking of this, Sterling's eyes welled up with tears, and he looked at his child affectionately, "Children, can you forgive Dad?" ”

"Yes!" Diro nodded.

"Look at how you do......" Katie bit her lip and squeezed a sentence from between her teeth.

"From now on, I will accompany you." Sterling reached out and put his arms around the two children, and the two tear streaks on his face already showed his remorse.

"Yes!" The two nodded, and tears began to appear in the corners of their eyes.

"Let's go!" Zheng Hanfei gently pulled Ouyang Xiu, and then walked out of the venue, leaving the venue to this happy family.

It is worthy of the "tears of hope", worthy of the name! Zheng Hanfei sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but give Katie and Diro the hope of longing for happiness, and also the hope of Sterling getting forgiveness from their children, and even more happiness that their family has never had.

……

"What a perfect ending." Closing the door gently, Ouyang Xiu said with a smile.

"yes!" Zheng Hanfei nodded, seeing the Sterling family, he felt an indescribable discomfort, and he missed his parents even more in his heart.

"Got something on your mind?"

"Nope."

"Hehe, I won't gossip." Ouyang Xiu patted Zheng Hanfei on the shoulder, "However, this is the real you, you look cowardly, but you have normal emotions." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Zheng Hanfei responded with a word, then turned to look at Ouyang Xiu, and asked with a serious face: "Who are you!" ”

"I'm Ouyang Xiu! What are you thinking? ”

"No, I'm talking about your other identity!" Zheng Hanfei's eyes showed a gleam, "Don't try to hide from me!" The gunshot in the venue was imitated by you, right? ”

"Hear that?"

"Of course, but I don't understand why you imitate it so similarly, and I can't tell for a while. I remember that the decibels of the pistol were around 160, and it was impossible for a person to imitate it! ”

"Hehe, it's finally been discovered." Ouyang Xiu smiled, and then said a voice that was extremely familiar to Zheng Hanfei, "From the moment you became cold, I knew that you were cursed like me!" ”

"You ......" Zheng Hanfei's pupils shrank slightly, he would never forget this voice, because it was his voice.

"Surprised?" Ouyang Xiu used Katie's voice, "This is not a ventriloquist, but an experiment, as long as I hear the sound, I can hear how many hertz the frequency is, how many decibels the sound is, and then say it exactly the same." ”

"What!"

"I'm not a normal human anymore." Ouyang Xiu smiled and used Di Luo's voice, "I even forgot when I was a normal human being. ”

“……”

"That's it!" Ouyang Xiu turned back to his normal voice and said, "Although we didn't prevent the case from happening, but you solved this case, it stands to reason that I lost the bet this time, according to the rules, I will give you a chance, I want you to participate in the Sherlock Detective Agency in Quinn Academy." ”

"What! That famous Sherlock detective agency? But...... Can you call the shots? ”

"Of course, I'm the president of the Sherlock Detective Agency, and Diro and Katie are both members of the Detective Agency." Ouyang Xiu continued to break out a piece of news that surprised Zheng Hanfei.

"What!" Zheng Hanfei was stunned, he didn't expect Ouyang Xiu to have this identity, no wonder Ouyang Xiu said that he would give himself a chance to be the envy of all young people, and it was indeed very enviable to join the Sherlock Detective Agency.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Can you tell me...... Why are you here? I always felt like you were lying. ”

"Okay!" Ouyang Xiu shrugged his shoulders, "It was a letter that guided me to come, he said that this exhibition will make me wait for a valuable person and an important clue, so I came, it seems that I was really right." ”

"Important clues?!"

"That's right! It's the search for clues to an organization, an organization that damns us and makes us cursed. ”

"The letter...... What does it look like, the byline is ......"

"The envelope is very ordinary, but when I opened it, I was startled, the black card, with bright red letters, is a bit like an invitation to death, as for the signature...... His name is Shadow! ”

"Shadow ......"
