Chapter 8: Murder Hidden in Love
Time passed little by little, and the time entered the late autumn of November.
As if the murderer had died down, he never moved again after Garucis and the others stayed in Shuiqiao Village. If it weren't for Camilla's proof that the guy hadn't left again, maybe Garucis would have been ready to leave.
By the way, the relationship between Yin Zhiping and the eldest daughter of the old carpenter, Mixia, seems to be quietly warming up, which can be regarded as his biggest gain this time.
"Miss Mixia......" Yin Zhiping muttered Mixia's name, and a smile of fascination appeared on his face.
"Hey, this DT is hopeless. Ellis shook his head meaningfully, couldn't help but yawn, and reached out to slap him on the back, "I'll go back to sleep first, you can keep busy." ”
"Oh!" Yin Zhiping reacted at this time, but after a while, he suddenly realized...... It's just 0:00 now, why did you leave so early today?
I guess I'm tired of it, after all, patrolling is completely unnecessary for Ellis, it's just Yin Zhiping's own initiative.
Walking alone on a country road, the thick snowflakes under your feet creak and squeak.
Yin Zhiping continued his patrol...... To be honest, he has not gained anything for so long, which makes him a little impatient. But now she was impatient to continue, for this was what he had promised Miss Michia that he would catch the murderer.
There was a faint light in the darkness ahead, and it was the glow of a flashlight.
[The murderer has appeared!?]
This was Yin Zhiping's first reaction, but he quickly vetoed it...... If it was really the murderer, it should be unlikely that he would walk down the street with a flashlight so blatantly.
Having said that, Yin Zhiping still nervously put his hand into the satchel on his waist, and in the bag there was a cute-looking teddy bear, which was also Yin Zhiping's biggest reliance - Shadow Bear Tibbs.
The light drew nearer, the sound of footsteps became clearer, and a rough figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Yin Zhiping let out a voice in surprise: "Miss Mi, Miss Mixia, why did you come out at this time? It's too dangerous!"
Mihya wears a thick trench coat and holds a thermos box in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
"Mr. Yin will definitely protect me anyway, won't he?" Mixia winked playfully and showed a faint smile, "I saw that Mr. Yin patrolled tirelessly every night, so he made some supper on his own initiative...... I don't know if Mr. Yin would like to enjoy his face and taste it?"
"Yes! Of course I do!"
Mixia opened the insulated box and took out a hot sandwich, with a hint of ruddy shyness on her face: "That, because it's the first time I've cooked, the taste can't be guaranteed to be too delicious." ”
"Uh......" Yin Zhiping took the sandwich with complicated thoughts, but he didn't dare to taste it for a long time.
[Should I eat it or not?] It doesn't look unusual, but if you eat it, it may turn into a murderous dish...... No, no, no, you can't think of it that way, this is not an anime or a game, how can there be that kind of murderous cuisine in reality!?And this is a supper made by Miss Mixia herself or intended for me, even if it is really hard to eat, I can't live up to her wishes!
Thinking of this, Yin Zhiping made up his mind, and resolutely stuffed the sandwich into his mouth and took a bite...... Huh, doesn't it seem to taste that bad?
"Poof......" Seeing Yin Zhiping's puzzled expression, Mixia covered the corners of her mouth and laughed, "Mr. Yin's expression looks so silly, you must think that my craftsmanship is very poor, right?"
Mixia's smile was like a fox stealing a chicken, and she looked quite cunning.
"Actually, I've tasted it myself before this, so I can't eat the dead. ”
"Uh......" Yin Zhiping was embarrassed for a while, feeling hot on his face.
[It's embarrassing......]
What else could he say now? He just stuffed the sandwich in his mouth and swallowed it in a few bites.
"Hee-hee, Mr. Yin's blushing look is so cute. ”
The smile on Mixia's face was even worse, like a heartwarming fire in this cold night, making Yin Zhiping's body warm and dizzy at the same time.
[Huh, strange, how to ......]
The next moment, Yin Zhiping fell stiffly and fell headlong into the cold snow.
"Mr. Yin, Mr. Yin, cheer up, Mr. Yin......" Before the consciousness gradually dissipated, Mixia's anxious voice was heard.
......
PS: That's all for today, no state......
