Hearing that the police had been called, Ritsu Sasashima couldn't continue to stay here, he walked to the two children and squatted down and said, "Protect your friends well, my brother still has something to do, so let's go first." ”

"Big brother, can I know your name? I think... Thank you. ”

Name?

"Then you're going to treat me as being... Sherlock Holmes. ”

"Huh? Big brother, do you like Sherlock Holmes too! ”

Ritsu Sasashima didn't expect the young boy to read an esoteric novel like Sherlock Holmes, so he reached out and rubbed his head and said, "What, do you like it very much?" ”

Kudo Shinichi was very attached to Sherlock Holmes, and he blushed slightly and said excitedly, "I... My name is Shinichi Kudo! Yes, a disciple of Sherlock Holmes! ”

"Shinichi, you're bragging again, aren't you a disciple~" Mao Lilan, who is a childhood sweetheart, debunked milkily.

"Wow, verbose! Sooner or later, I'll be the same detective as Sherlock Holmes, so I'll see, Ran! ”

Ritsu Sasashima, who is always expressionless, couldn't help but chuckle a few times, is this a child's words, Sherlock Holmes is not something anyone can be.

Mao Lilan's eyes widened in surprise, Shinichi actually made this big brother laugh, so powerful, it's like a magician... Well? How could I suddenly think of the picture of Shinichi's mother taking herself to the hot coastal bath to play.

Kudo Shinichi frowned and said anxiously: "Big brother, I really want to become Sherlock Holmes!" ”

"I'm not laughing at you." Ritsu Sasashima didn't want to hurt the child's self-confidence, and he saw the way he tried to save the girl just now, and he smiled and said, "I'm sure you'll be the same person as Sherlock Holmes, and you have to protect your partner, understand?" ”

"Hmmm! I will! ”

Ritsu Sasashima stood up and picked up the car keys on the ground, went around to the driver's seat, pulled the car door and said, "Then as the future Sherlock Holmes, the confession from the police will be handed over to you... Good bye. ”

"Goodbye, big brother Holmes! I—My name is Maoriran! ”

"I'll try! We'll see you again then! ”

Ritsu Sasashima whizzes away in a sports car and quickly disappears into the street, believing that the kid named Shinichi Kudo won't tell him about running a red light.

He looked sideways at the sleeping kitten in the passenger seat, raised his hand and took off his mask and cap, revealing his handsome face. At this moment, a tough man with a beard and a toothpick in his mouth sat in a passing police car, his eyes widened slightly, revealing his surprise.

Ida... Monitor?

Date Airlines, who was concentrating on driving the car, naturally didn't notice Sasashima, and even if he looked sideways, he couldn't see the person sitting in the main driver through the window with the car film.

It turns out that the squad leader is in charge of duty in this area, and Tokyo is really small enough.

Looking at the police car in the rearview mirror, Ritsu Sasashima stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of the research institute......

It's not the right time to meet now, squad leader.

.

Back at the research institute, Ritsu Sasashima parked the car and walked towards Laboratory No. 5 with the little black milk cat in his arms, and happened to meet Shiho Miyano who walked out of the laboratory and was about to buy a drink.

Noticing the cat in Toru Nanase's arms, Miyano was surprised, "How did you carry the cat back to the research institute?" ”

"The stray cat I met on the road, I saw that it was too small, so I brought it back, and I was ready to raise it and send it away."

Shiho Miyano tried to restrain the thought of wanting to suck a cat, and said with a cold face: "Oh, then do you know how to raise a cat?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you have time, then? I mean... Do you have time to take care of the task of the action team every now and then? ”

It seems like a real problem, what if it sneaks out of the room and is caught in the lab by another researcher for research?

After thinking carefully, Ritsu Sasashima looked at Miyano and said in a pleading tone, "Well, can I ask you to take care of it?" I don't feel comfortable taking care of others, your words are okay. ”

"Then I'll take care of it for you."

It's a good one, but in fact, my heart is already full of joy. After Shiho Miyano sent Sashima into the room, the corners of her mouth, which had been restrained from rising, also relaxed, and her little plan succeeded.

Thinking that she would be able to suck in the institute in the future, she was in a good mood and walked towards the vending machine with an unknown tune.

Change out of the clothes you go out.,Because there's nothing for pets in the room.,I have to wait for Miyano to come back and go out to buy some cat litter and other things.,Don't rent an apartment for the time being.,After all, I'm now in debt.,If you suddenly pay to rent an apartment and be known by Gin... You will be mistaken for someone who is in debt and does not pay it.

If you reduce Gin's good opinion of yourself because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Sasashima opened the bedroom door and said, "Miyano, come over and help take care of it, I'll go buy some necessities." ”

"Oh, okay."

The little milk cat didn't seem to have any resistance to Miyano Shiho, nesting comfortably in the arms of the second owner, and stretching out her little pink tongue to lick her cheeks, as if she was coquettish.

By the time Sasashima returned to his room with a big bag of things in half an hour, the little milk cat was no longer willing to "get close" to him and was addicted to the arms of his new owner.

“…… Are you dying? Ignore me. Sashima Ritsu had a hint of grievance in his tone, and after placing all the things he had bought, he sat on the ground.

"Maybe the same sex attracts, ferrous oxide it's a little female cat."

"Oxygen... Ferrous oxide? ”

"Well, I gave it a name, it's very vivid."

Ferrous oxide, one of the oxides of iron, has a black powder... The chemical formula is FeO.

Shouldn't normal people be named Xiao Hei, Hei Zai, Hei Hei and other ordinary names, worthy of being a chemistry tyrant, and they don't leave their fields of expertise in naming them.

"Don't you think the name is a bit long?"

"Then take a nickname and call it black charcoal."

"Oh."

Ritsu Sasashima didn't dwell over the names, he installed a mini camera in the room, just for when they were both in the lab.

The monitoring of his camera is connected to the computer in the laboratory, so that it can be monitored in real time and prevent it from wreaking havoc in the room.

At present, the progress of APTX4869 is still stuck in the research and development stage, and Ritsu Sasashima has been instructed from above, so it is natural to put the speed of drug development to the slowest level.

If you can drag it, you can drag it.

Busy until about one o'clock in the morning, he will go to the room to rest, black charcoal has been lying in his new home and sleeping very deeply, Sasashima is afraid of waking him up like a thief to complete a series of bedtime operations, change into pajamas and get into the quilt but find that Miyano Akemi sent an email.

I haven't sent any messages since last time, so what do you want to ask yourself about this time?

[Akemi Miyano: Nanase-kun, I don't know if it bothers you, but there's something that is going to trouble you again.] The day after tomorrow is Shiho's birthday, can you please help me hand over the birthday gift? ]

Day after tomorrow? Sashima glanced at the time of the email, which means that tomorrow is Miyano's birthday, August 18th.

[Toru Nanase: Surprise her on her birthday, I'll explain it if Mr. Gin asks why, and I'll bring her to see you on the 18th.] ]

Unexpectedly, Akemi Miyano didn't sleep at this point in time, and actually replied to the email in seconds.

[Akemi Miyano: Thank you very much, Nanase-kun, and we'll meet tomorrow at the Toto Department Store in Kakuto-cho.] ]

[Toru Nanase: Hmm.] ]
