42 Shirley
"That's right, wise and lofty, that's the man's name. He lives at 2-20 Yonkacho, Tokyo. β
On the other end of the phone, it was Masami Hirota's voice, which seemed to be a little pleasant, and the tone of speech was very cheerful.
"Yes, I see."
The short-haired brown girl savored the name, and didn't seem to find the slightest connection to the name in her impression, so she replied lightly.
"But, sister, I haven't seen your phone number."
"Of course, this is the number of my newly rented apartment."
Masami Hirota replied with a smile, "Don't tell anyone, it's a secret." β
Then after a pause, Masami Hirota laughed and said, "But, Shiho, if you're really interested in this detective, my sister doesn't object to it!" β
"No, sister."
In a flat tone, the girl said, "If nothing else, I'll hang up first." β
"Wait a minute, Shiho!"
Masami Hirota said, "Regarding the address you gave me, I asked a detective to help me investigate. β
"Wait a minute! Detective! β
Hearing this, the girl suddenly panicked.
It seemed that she heard the reason for the girl's panic, and Masami Hirota immediately persuaded: "Don't worry! I'm hiring a detective who is extremely secretive. It's a 'Forgotten Detective' who only retains memories for one day, and the next day forgets the events of the previous day! β
"Only one day's worth of memories?"
The girl muttered in thought, and then thought - Goodfield syndrome! A condition in which short-term memories cannot be converted into long-term memories during sleep.
If that's the case, it's a highly secretive detective!
So, the girl finally reassured and said, "So, what is the result of the investigation?" β
"Fire."
Masami Hirota suddenly became serious.
"The detective found out that there was a fire in the house where the address was located not long ago. After an investigation, the police determined that the cause of the fire was an accident caused by a gas leak, so no case was filed. β
"Did you find a body at the scene of the fire?"
The girl heard what Masami Hirota meant, and asked nervously.
"Yes. In the rubble of the fire, the police only found a charred body, and the family lived with only one person at the time, so the body was naturally identified as that person. β
Masami Hirota said solemnly, "Later, the local villagers' self-government association issued a death certificate for the person's association, and the body was cremated. β
After a pause, Masami Hirota asked seriously, "Hey, Shiho." With such a means of destroying corpses and destroying traces, could it be that the person was organized......"
And after hearing what Masami Hirota said, the girl fell into deep thought at the moment: the person killed by the APTX4869 looks no different from a natural death, in other words, there is no need to destroy the corpse at all! So, what's the fire all about! However, if you have to say it, it doesn't seem impossible.
"Shiho? What are you thinking? β
Seeing that the girl didn't respond for a long time, Masami Hirota asked a little anxiously.
"No, it's fine."
The girl said lightly in a slightly lazy tone, "It's late, I'll hang up first, sister." β
After saying that, the girl hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, listening to the girl's last voice, Masami Hirota smiled with relief - it seems that it is indeed fine.
And after the girl hung up the phone, she showed a solemn expression.
APTX4869's medication list will not be filled in with the word "death" until the other party's death is completely confirmed, which means that the drugger must confirm his death before writing him on the list.
But if that's the case, it's so strange, why set it on fire!
Recalling what I saw in the parking lot of the Rice Flower Municipal Building, the detective named "Wise and Tall", and the results of the computer face comparison, two kinds of possibilities may appear in the girl's mind: they just look too similar but are indeed two completely different people, or he deceived the members of the drugged organization and faked his death to escape!
Thinking of this, the girl no longer doubted - then, wise and lofty, who are you!
Of course, there is no answer to this question, after all, it should be impossible for me to contact this detective.
And, with that careless and arrogant guy, can he really do this? The profession of a detective is completely incompatible with him.
Thinking like this, the girl seemed to have made a judgment, so she was ready to rest.
But the sudden ringing of the email still made the girl's expression change slightly, and she immediately opened the email and began to read.
"Four days later...... Mermaid Island ...... Dugong Celebration ...... Investigate the ...... of longevity Co-operative ......"
The girl muttered out the important information in the email, but after seeing the last two names, it still made the girl frown slightly, revealing a look of disgust.
At the same time, two men dressed in black and wearing black hats have just walked into a bar with a slightly classical dΓ©cor, and here, apart from the bartender, the two men in black are the only guests.
The two of them sat down at the bar, and the slightly burly man said to the silver-haired man beside him, "Mermaid bones, does this such thing really exist?" β
"I don't know."
The man with the long silver hair said coldly, "It's not our job anyway. β
"Huh? So what are we going to do? β
The burly man was a little puzzled.
"Heh, even if he used to cover the sky with one hand, he still can't resist the torrent of time."
It seemed to be emotional, but coldly, the silver-haired man said this, and then said coldly.
"You know, the island became famous for the presence of mermaid bones two years ago, which led to a lot of big names going to the island last year. And our goal is to have a roster of the big guys! β
After a pause, he smiled slightly, "As for the mermaid bones or old immortals, that's what the little girl did!" β
At this time, the bartender came up and asked what the two of them wanted to drink, and the silver-haired man thought for a moment and showed a sly smile:
"Let's have a drink, 'Shirley'!"
At eleven o'clock in the evening, under the Jianggutian Bell Tower, Gao Yuan and Koizumi Hongzi came here.
At this time, the tower was already full of people, raising their hands and shouting the name of "Kidd", presumably to support the strange thief Kidd.
Looking at such a scene, Gao Yuan was a little helpless, but he still followed Koizumi Hongzi into the front of the crowd, and then Gao Yuan saw that a girl who looked like Mao Lilan was holding a sketchbook with the words "Against Kidd" written on it, and shouted "Kidd get back to me", which was particularly abrupt in this crowd.
However, Gao Yuan knows that she is Nakamori Aoko, that is, the daughter of Officer Nakamori Ginzo, the childhood sweetheart of Black Feather Kuaidou.
"What he's stealing is the clock on this clock tower. Well, is there anything you can do to help him? β
Koizumi pointed to the clock on the clock tower and asked, "Or, is there any way you can stop the 'Majin of Light'?" β
