It's true that a lot of things have been said before, but for Xingle, the order of this matter still has to be postponed, and he still has friends and family around him, so in order to live with them, Xingle must maintain his own rhythm of life, such as eating with them, although the atmosphere is close to stiffness.

“......”

“......”

In a high-end restaurant, there is a table where the atmosphere seems to be frozen, which makes some customers more uncomfortable, but seeing the teenager who seems to be in a bad mood and the whole person is on fire, they choose to keep their mouths shut silently, not everyone has the courage and enthusiasm to be able to meddle with other people's affairs, at least, since the teenager did not make a move to disturb their peaceful meal, then leave it alone.

Of course, someone is sure to take care of it, and that's what the people at the same table with the teenager do.

“... That one... Star Music. ”

"Yes." In response to Alex, it was an extremely cold voice, although Xingle's usual mood was also quite stable and calm, but this was a bit too much.

“... I know you're a bit of a blow to this, but you should cheer yourself up. ”

“... If you look at the corpse, I'm sure you'll throw me out of the room and leave you quiet. ”

Xingle replied to Alex with the same face, but he had seen the tragic condition of the corpse, and he could basically make you vomit without hesitation, Xingle was already very able to hold it without such a gaffe.

"But you really don't have to worry about it, you didn't expect this to happen."

The person who said this to Xingle was a woman, Eliza. Danfoss, Carla and Alex's mother, and she, as the only adult in the room, was the most convincing.

But...

“... I'm not remorseful ... It's the feeling of having a familiar person die in front of your eyes... It makes me very unhappy. ”

Xingle turned his head a little unhappily, no one could casually reveal that scene when he saw it, at least Xingle didn't accept that this kind of thing happened in front of him.

"Then you'd better divert your attention, if you can't solve your emotions for a day, you'll be tormented by your indurable protein tonight."

Kara put an omelette on the plate in front of Xingle and smiled somewhat flatteringly, which made Xingle sigh, it was better for her to adjust her mood first.

After eating the omelette below, Xingle grabbed the newspaper on the side and began to read while eating the dish he ordered.

This can be regarded as Xingle's own normality, as the only boy in this small group, Xingle can't get into the girls' topics many times, and can only listen silently, although for Xingle, those topics of 'who is in love', 'who broke up', and 'who are dating', the reaction is similar to that of scumbags listening to lectures in class.

So Xingle often holds a book or newspaper when the girls are chatting, and on the one hand, it is elegant to pass the time.

The girls are also used to Xingle's actions, after all, it may be a little different, but this guy is very close to tsundere in nature.

This can be regarded as the long-term relationship between the girls and Xingle.

However, Xingle is staring at the content of the newspaper this time, although it may not be related to the case, but this is a bit of a coincidence, right?

"In recent days, a number of plant experts and rare plant breeders in Nasino City have disappeared for no reason, and no progress is known. 》

This report is not very long, only a small space, but the information on the headline has already told Xingle important information.

Plants support people... Ms. Ellie is also a plant breeder, and those plant experts and plant breeders...

Xingle: He should have found the key point of the other party's predation.

"Xingle, what's wrong with you?" Sarah, who was sitting next to Xingle, looked at Xingle's slightly changed face and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, it's just that I found something to divert my attention for the time being, and it's pretty good."

Xingle said this without blushing and heartbeat, how can he tell you, if his sister knows that he is chasing the shady curtain of this case, it will not be good.

"Really? What is it? Sarah couldn't control her curiosity and asked.

"This." Xingle moved the newspaper to her sister to read, but her face turned blue at the first sight of the headline.

"A special scientific interview about cockroaches and humans as the two major species on earth, shocked!? Humans are so similar to cockroaches!? 》

"Move me a little farther away!" Sarah immediately pushed the report away in disgust, saying that she was still insensitive to this kind of thing.

"Huh." Xingle smiled, retracted the newspaper, and then continued to look at the little report, and began to calculate in his heart.

....................................................................

After dinner, the night in Nacino finally overshadowed the sun and ushered in its own shady curtain.

At the dinner place, Xingle and Sarah and Kara were separated, after all, the two families are in different regions, and it is certain to be separated, originally Eliza wanted to send these two minors again, but Xingle They said no, because the place to eat was not far from where Xingle lived, so they were not together.

Xingle and Sarah walked together on the streets at night, but the sensational murder had just occurred, which made the streets seem a little deserted, and there were not many pedestrians at all, not even cars.

"It's always a little scary..."Sarah unconsciously tugged at the hem of her dress, reserving some warmth for the chill she felt, but anyone with a discerning eye knew she was scared.

At this moment, a slender little hand took hold of her little hand, and the warmth conveyed in the palm of the hand made Sarah's heart warm.

Turning his head, he saw that Xingle, who was parallel to him, was turning his face away to prevent himself from seeing his expression, but in fact, his face was already red.

"Hee-hee... Thank you, my dear brother. ”

"......" Xingle turned his face away with an uncomfortable and tangled face, although the shame on his face was the majority, Xingle still couldn't stop shaking.

In such a step-by-step youth and warmth, the two finally walked back to their home, and Xingle was finally able to 'appease' his sister's hand that had been clamping his hand since the beginning, it hurt so much.

Coaxed Sarah to take a bath with good words, Xingle was finally so tired that he lay on the sofa and didn't want to move, it was really not what he wanted to say, but getting along with his sister, there was always a feeling of being with a bear child for half a day.

"Hoo ———!" After Xingle breathed a sigh of relief, he turned on the TV to watch today's news:

"At noon today, there was a horrific death in the city, and the deceased was an editor..."

Is it even reported in the news ... Xingle looked at the things reported in the news, and then took out his mobile phone and began to retrieve, that unexpected information may be a breakthrough in this case.

"Speaking of which... Lady Ellie's plants must be among them..."

Xingle remembered the plant species there, and at the same time searched the newspaper for information on several other plant experts and plant breeders, such as whether they had the same or the same kind of plants, at least one or the same genus, and they all owned together.

But the question is, why didn't you even notice... Could it be that the other party deliberately suppresses his impulses and reactions?

Thinking of this, Xingle began to look for information before that, and there may be loopholes that he didn't expect.

..................................................................

The night gradually deepened, gradually covering the whole city, and the lights of each house were turned off little by little.

After spending the night in the siblings, Xingle sends his sister back to her room, Sarah's own room, of course.

"Can't you sleep with your sister?" That's how he asked a question that made Xingle grit his teeth.

"What kind of delusion made Sarah, Sister you think I'm going to sleep with you?"

Xingle jumped the corners of his eyes, he couldn't maintain his normal calmness at all, and he could only sigh when he looked at his sister.

"But I'm so scared, sister," Sarah, who was already sitting on the bed and curled up under the covers, shrunk her neck and shivered.

“... The positions between the siblings are reversed. Xingle complained calmly, then scratched his head and said comfortingly: "That's it, I'll stay with you until you fall asleep, and then leave after Sister Sarah you fall asleep, okay?" ”

"Hmm... Okay..."Faced with her brother's expression of cutting flesh like land reparations, Sarah pursed her lips and grabbed Xingle's hand a little reluctantly before lying down.

"I'm also at a loss..."Xingle held the black line above his head, but he still held his sister's hand, sat aside, and waited for his sister to sleep quietly, although it was very abrasive, but my sister has always added unnecessary trouble to her brother.

It may be that what happened today is also a little too informative, not only mentally, but also physically caused excess fatigue, Sarah fell asleep at a speed beyond Xingle's imagination, looking at her sister's even breathing rhythm, Xingle smiled slightly, and a little heat flowed in her heart.

Then he looked around suspiciously, and after making sure that there was no one around, he leaned down and kissed his sister's forehead like a dragonfly, blushing and retracting his body, before withdrawing his hand from his sister's boudoir.

It may be a bit tsundere, but who makes it impossible for them to be born with this emotion.

"Alas~" Xingle leaned his back against his sister's door, sighed, and finally adjusted his expression and emotions, and a fierce smile appeared on his whole face, and he did not return to his room, but put on his shoes before the entrance and walked out of the house again.

Looking at the street where there were no pedestrians in the real sense, Xingle really thought that now was a good time to hunt.

"Before investigating Ms. Ellie's case, let's go see where the first missing person is."

After muttering firmly to his first goal, Xingle trotted out of this silent and abyss-like city, like a black cat unconsciously attracted by curiosity.

What is certain is that the city of Naxino is beginning to usher in the most extreme turmoil of star music.
