Kabukicho, a Shinmaru ramen shop.

"Boss, another bowl!"

Xia Li raised her hand and shouted loudly to the owner of the ramen shop, sat down and touched her little belly, looked at the four empty bowls on the table and sighed:

"Udon noodles in New Tokyo are so delicious! Much better than my hometown. ”

When the busy boss in the back kitchen heard this, he couldn't help but look inside and say, "Little girl, it's not the udon noodles in New Tokyo that are delicious, but the noodles of our Jinmaru family are delicious, and I honed my skills at the famous udon shop Yamagoe Udon in Kagawa before I opened this restaurant." ”

Xia Li was stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded, "Mmmm, that's right!" It's the boss of your family...... Can you give me an extra stack of side dishes? ”

The owner of the noodle shop may have never seen a rice bucket on weekdays, but it is still rare to see a rice bucket for a young girl with short silver hair who is full of vitality and delicate like Xia Li, and she replied very happily when she heard this, "Okay! I'll give you two servings, and I'm going to see how much you can eat today. ”

Someone next to her quickly brought up the side dishes, which were actually pickled radishes and capers, but Xia Li couldn't wait for the noodles to come, so she drank the noodle soup and picked up a radish and chewed it in her mouth.

......

"Boss, are you not feeling well?"

Wiping her mouth and putting down the soup, Xia Li noticed Satoru Aragaki covering her forehead on the other side of the table, and said with some embarrassment, "I... Is it eating too much? ”

"No... No! Xia Li sauce is safe to eat, I can still afford to eat the ramen boss haha... Hahaha..."Satoru Aragaki hurriedly waved his hand, and he wanted to slap himself in the face.

I'm really cheap!

Why do you want to talk to this big stomach king and eat it openly!

Higashino-kun, hurry up and persuade Xia Li.

This is the fifth bowl of food, and it looks like a starving ghost is reincarnated.

Are the celestials of the Tmall clan so able to eat it?

Cats don't eat that much, do they?

At this time, Higashinohara, who had eaten a bowl of special thick fish soup and dipping noodles, sat there, looking at his nose and nose, looking like he didn't hear anything outside the window.

Needless to say, he must have taken advantage of his free time after dinner to "practice swords in the skull" again.

Satoru Aragaki had no choice but to accept his fate, touched his wallet, felt distressed, and couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, he ate ramen today, not a luxurious meal. ，

Otherwise, I am afraid that he will have to keep his own people in the store after the meal, but when he thought about it, he would have to provide food and lodging for this big stomach king in the future, and he suddenly felt a heart jam.

Is this little padded jacket too much dowry in the future?

How do you specialize in cheating!

Soon

Another bowl of udon noodles was served.

Xia Li's little feet under the table stomped happily, slapped her chopsticks with both hands and said, "I'm moving, haha", lowered her head and snorted and ate ramen.

Satoru Aragaki slumped in his chair like a dead heart.

Fortunately, Xia Li's "rice bucket" is not too exaggerated, and after eating the eighth bowl of noodles, she put down the bowl and did not make a cheerful "another bowl", and her small tongue licked the soup at the corners of her mouth and made a comfortable sound.

"Ahaha... It's been a long time since I've eaten so much, the boss is really a nice person in New Tokyo, and I will definitely go to the soup for you in the future! ”

Satoru Aragaki was in pain at the checkout counter, but he finally felt a little comforted by Xia Li's "allegiance", but he felt that the "soup and fire" in exchange for these eight bowls of noodles was probably not so reliable.

Higashinohara also came back to his senses from "entering the set", and looked at the ten bowls on the table counting him and Satoru Aragaki in a daze, in fact, anyone around saw the eight bowls stacked high in front of Xia Li in a daze.

The owner of the ramen shop was happy, there were no new diners coming in at this time, he walked out of the back kitchen and looked at Xia Li with his hands on his hips and admiration - Xia Li ate so much is an affirmation of his ramen skills, and the cute girl who can eat makes him feel more accomplished than those rice bucket uncles.

"Give this table a 95% discount, true ramen lovers!" The boss shouted to the cash register.

Satoru Aragaki, who was digging out the money, suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly pulled out two pieces of change from the eight thousand yen he took out, and said, "Then how embarrassing, thank you boss." ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xia Li, who got up from the table, said, "Next time we go to eat barbecue, okay?" I can't eat too much ramen, but I can eat more barbecue! ”

The owner of the ramen shop was stunned, and the feeling of meeting a bosom friend by chance disappeared.

Satoru Aragaki had already paid the bill, said hello to the boss and quickly slipped away, Higashinohara didn't bother to take care of this second goods, and asked after walking out of the ramen shop:

"Is there anything else going on in the afternoon?"

Although they have a clue at present, it is a pity that this clue is still a clue from many years ago, and the suspicious organization called the "Funeral Society" has long been destroyed.

Although neither the organizer known as "The Doctor" nor the father of the snake Saori I just heard about have been caught, it is really hard to say whether it has anything to do with their resurgence.

Hearing Higashinohara's words, Satoru Aragaki originally wanted to say that he would have to eat all the food, so if he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he would go and help me post a small advertisement.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the mobile phone in his coat pocket vibrated again.

After answering the phone, it was only a blink of an eye, and Satoru Aragaki's face became a little solemn, and finally hung up the phone and sighed.

"It seems that the crossroads of death are really big problems."

"What's wrong?" Higashinohara asked.

"Just now, Ato called and said that at noon today, there was another suicide case at the tram intersection in Twibetsu Town."

Satoru Aragaki's eyes narrowed slightly, "In just a few days, there have been two strange suicides in the same place, and the third investigation team will not take over again... I'm afraid I can't say it, right? ”

Higashinohara also felt a little relaxed in his heart when he heard this.

If the third investigation team officially launches an investigation, it will definitely be much more reliable than their private detectives, but I don't know if the case of Ryoka Kame's mother who has been tried will be directly overturned.

"Let's go! Looks like we have something to do in the afternoon. ”

Satoru Aragaki walked in the direction of the parking lot and said with a smile, "Since the client hired us, we can't let her money go to waste, let's go to the scene to see if we can find any clues that have been overlooked, what do you think?" ”

"I don't care."

Higashinohara nodded, his daily exercise had been done in the morning, and now he was mainly busy with "intracranial sword practice" to brush the proficiency of the second sword stream Xiaotai sword swordsmanship.

It doesn't make much difference anywhere.

"Boss, where are we going to build a team at night?" Xia Li's big eyes flickered and she asked.

She's already on the third floor.

The corners of Aragaki Satoru's mouth stiffened, and he said with a dry smile, "Go home at night for team building, boss, my skills are also very good, not much worse than the chef outside......"

"Yay!"

Xia Li doesn't know where to go.

Some can be eaten.

......

And when Higashinohara and his party drove to the scene of the crime in Twilight Town, someone in an encrypted private call channel made a comment in an indifferent and blunt tone.

"What a bunch... Idiot. ”

After a brief silence...

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You're saying... Today's action? ”

"I said, don't attract the attention of the official at the moment, I have tried my best to close the case for you in the past few days, why do you want to act without permission today." The voice on the other end of the line was still cold, but it didn't sound like there was much anger or other mood swings.

This middle-aged man has followed him for so long, and his loyalty is unquestionable, and he believes that the other party will give a reasonable explanation.

Sure enough.

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "This morning... I felt... The call of the Holy Lord... The craving for blood food, so it 'responded' in time. ”

"Calls so often?"

"That's right, Holy Lord... Maybe it's going to wake up. ”

The voice fell,

There was silence on both ends of the phone.

After a moment, the indifferent voice on the phone suddenly became softer, "You are right, this is the purpose of the establishment of our funeral society - everything for the advent of the Holy Lord. ”

"In that case, then... Let's speed up. ”

"Follow your orders."

“......”

In the dimly lit basement, Snake Guiwu hung up the phone and calmly looked at the seven funeral club cadres wearing long-eared white rabbit masks in the room.

"The Holy Lord still needs a sacrifice."

"Just tonight... When you are lonely and demonic. ”

In an instant, the seven people behind the white rabbit mask suddenly trembled, and even if they had a mask on their faces, they could feel their incomparable fanaticism.

......
