The people in the room chatted with each other, and the sense of strangeness faded a lot as they joked and laughed. The person outside the room stroked his chest and pursed his lips, adjusted his surging emotions, and then stepped into the room.
"You guys... still want me-hmm?!"
"Ah, Helena, you're here." Cleveland, who was holding Nicholas, raised his eyebrows. "We've been waiting for you for a long time, huh? Huh... I told you I could do it~"
The mother glanced at the smug father, then looked at the child struggling on her legs, and finally swept the messy room.
Helena: "Is this how you raise a child?!"
Cleveland: "?Ah, I think a little mess is more lively... I can clean it up in no time! Nicholas, help me!"
Nicholas: "Well... these were all thrown away by Sister Cleveland."
Cleveland: "Hey?! I didn't put the pillow under the table!"
Nicholas: "Sister Helena... wants to eat..."
Helena: "Okay, come here. I'll take you to eat something delicious... You! Get ready! Otherwise, you'll have to wash your underwear yourself next time!"
Cleveland: “Eh——!?”
Chapter 861: Detective Team, Big Failure
"Good morning, good morning~"
"Oh! It's Santiago, good morning!"
"Hey, big bluefin tuna." The reckless girl with red hair and twin ponytails rushed to the table and looked at the submarine that was cleaning the torpedoes. "What are you doing?"
The blonde submarine in a bikini had bright eyes. "I'm taking care of my equipment. I'll polish it and shine it up so I can play with Dafeng in the best condition. That's what good friends do!"
"But she seemed very scared of you yesterday..."
"How could that be? He must be too shy." The naughty bluefin tuna was unaware, "But he said he was going to pick flowers, but in the end he ran into the toilet. Hum... How dare you lie to the commander..."
Santiago didn't understand, "Maybe a stomachache? Then what?"
"And then...it was evening."
"Eh? Have you been waiting all day?!"
Big Bluefish pouted, "Yeah... I don't know why she took so long. I asked her if she wanted paper, but she got mad at me, saying 'You're not allowed to come over' or something..."
A normal person would think "maybe she is shy", but Santiago is not a normal person. She thought for a long time with a frown and finally slammed the table.
"Wow!"
The big bluefish was startled, "Huh?!"
Santiago leaned over the table and came closer, concluding confidently: "She... must have hidden something in there!"
"Oh~ Why didn't I think of that?!" The submariner exclaimed, actually thinking of it but thought it would be fun to pretend that he hadn't thought of it. "It has been hidden for so long, it must be a good thing, maybe a treasure!"
"Treasure?!"
With Santiago's meager IQ, it was no surprise that he took the bait. He immediately stood up, pulled up the big bluefin tuna and rushed out, "Hurry up, hurry up, if you go too late it might be taken away!"
"Eh? Wait, I still want to play with Dafeng
There are public restrooms in the port area, but because they are difficult to maintain, there are not many of them, and they occupy a very small area. Moreover, my family is full of girls, so there are only three simple stalls.
In a panic yesterday, Dafeng sneaked into the room closest to the construction warehouse. It was close to the command room and the shops of the two profiteers, but it was quite far from the White Eagle dormitory.
The big bluefin tuna was a little upset at first when it was forcibly pulled out, but as it walked, it put all those emotions behind it.
She had been squatting outside for a long time yesterday and had missed the maid's tour of the port area. Apart from the fact that the dinner was really delicious, she had no special impression of it.
Starting from the White Eagle Dormitory today, it was her first time to carefully observe the port area. Passing through various buildings and facilities, Big Bluefish was curious about everything.
"what is this?"
Santiago was very proud, "Hehe... This is where everyone takes a bath and plays in the water, right?"
"What about this?"
"Um... is it where you go to school?"
"This one?"
"Well, it seems to be... ah, is it the house of those chickens?"
The bluefish was puzzled, "Didn't you walk through this with everyone yesterday?"
"Hehehe... I know the command room, the grocery store that sells snacks, and the cafeteria that serves delicious food, but as for the rest... I don't remember much after I saw the amusement park..."
"Oh! So that big wheel is really from our port?"
The bluefin tuna suddenly didn't want to look for the treasure anymore. Isn't bumper cars more interesting than searching the toilet?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she was at a disadvantage, and the more she walked, the more impatient she became. This enthusiasm reached its peak when they finally turned a corner and approached the public restroom.
"Hey, let's go play first. If you want to know about treasures, just ask Dafeng next time."
Santiago felt that his intelligence was insulted. "She hid it for so long, how could she tell us? She must have hidden it somewhere else secretly, and then we would never find it again!"
Big Bluefish was regretting so much now. She shouldn't have mentioned the treasure just now. Now her explanation would be regarded as a temporary excuse for wanting to go to the amusement park. It was really confusing.
"Oh, I'm so smart and good at finding things. Let's find it quickly so we can go play!" After saying that, Santiago led the submarine straight to the bathroom.
The big bluefin tuna had no choice but to follow the force and walk into the neat "Flower Picking House", intending to give up and say "I didn't find it" just for the sake of courtesy, and then shift its target to the amusement park.
Although it is a restroom, thanks to the mysophobic commander, the cleaning tasks in the port area are carried out according to higher standards, including here.
The beautiful and clean interior gave Santiago more motivation to explore. "It must be in here! Otherwise, they wouldn't clean it so carefully!"
Albacore: "Uh... but where do we start looking?"
Santiago: “Well…”
The Great Detective (idiot) pinched his chin and looked around. The space was so empty that he could see everything. The first two compartments were open, but the handle of the last compartment showed [In Use].
"Hmm?! I found the bright spot! That's it! After Dafeng hid the things, she must have locked the door and climbed out from the top, so that no one would go to the toilet in there!"
"Oh, that's a good deduction." Albacore said, knocking on the partition. "Is there anyone in there?"
A gentle female voice, a little embarrassed, rang out, "Sorry... It's in use? The next door seems to be empty..."
Big Bluefish spread his hands, "Someone is really using it. Let's stop looking for it and go play. The roller coaster will definitely be exciting!"
Santiago wavered for a moment, then quickly became firm. He went up and kicked the door open. "It must be the tape recorder! It's high-tech! Look! There's nothing inside - huh? Why is Atago here?"
Ai Da Gou, who was squatting on the ground, was startled. Seeing the two people's subtle looks, he quickly stood up from the toilet and said, "Didn't I say it was in use...?"
"I'm sorry, I thought it was... um? No!" Dacongming thought he had found a flaw, "You and Dafeng are in the same group, right? You were squatting there just now to hide something!"
Mackerel didn't believe it at first, but Santiago was too imposing and Atago's expression was indeed subtle.
After comparing the two, she gradually began to doubt whether this group of people really hid some treasure in the toilet.
Thinking of this, she took out the torpedo and exchanged a glance with Santiago, then they all rushed towards the stunned Sakura heavy cruiser, scrambling to look into the corner of the compartment.
Atago was really unlucky. She was so annoyed by the two naughty guys that she lost her temper and simply gave up her seat and let them turn over the aromatherapy that was placed in the corner.
Mackerel: "What is this?"
Santiago: "Is it edible?"
"It's aromatherapy..." Atago sighed helplessly, "I accidentally bought too much when I bought it, and the smell is quite subtle when I give it to others, so I just use it as an air freshener."
Santiago: "What... can't I drink?"
Big Bluefish: "I told you it was gone a long time ago. The door is still broken... I won't pay for it if I didn't kick it, okay?"
Santiago: "How can this be!? We agreed to split the treasure equally, so of course the compensation should be split equally too!"
Big Bluefish: "I'm not going to lose money with you!"
The extremely loud arguing gave Atago a headache. She had no choice but to go outside and wash her hands. "Remember to put it back? I'm leaving now."
Santiago: "Ah, I'm sorry, Atago-san!"
Big Bluefish: "It's all her fault, not mine."
Santiago: "You still say that!"
Big Bluefish: "I told you!"
Santiago: “….”
Big bluefin tuna: "........."
The two of them squatted in the cubicle in silence for a long while, and finally the famous detective Ke La poked his head out, "Well, go away, go away, I acted well just now~"
"What's so good about it... It's so exaggerated." The big bluefish hummed and picked up the exquisite glass bottle in his hand. "It's really strange. This matter must be very complicated."
Santiago's eyes lit up, "Right, right? I told you so! She must be in cahoots with Dafeng! This must be an invisibility potion, right?"
"Uh... probably not. I just think it's weird to put my own perfume in the toilet."
"Eh? What's so strange about that? If it's not the invisibility potion, Atago-san is doing this out of kindness, right?"
"Stupid!" The bluefin tuna poked the enthusiastic "Kela Kogoro" and explained quietly.
"Think about it, if the perfume you use smells the same as the air freshener in the toilet, wouldn't other people think of this place when they smell you? That's too weird!"
Santiago suddenly realized, "Oh... so Atago-san was tricked by someone and bought the air freshener as perfume?"
"Oh my, you are the worst class I've ever taught!" Big Bluefish shook the glass bottle angrily, "It means that Sister Atago has some ulterior motive!"
"Don't drink?!"
Big Bluefish: "I didn't expect that the port area looks safe and peaceful, but it actually hides secrets?! Hehe... This is much more fun than the amusement park. When I solve the case, the commander will definitely praise me!"
Santiago: "And me and me!"
Big Bluefish: "Let's go, there must be more in other bathrooms, let's collect them and see if there are any clues."
Santiago: "Yeah yeah yeah! Big Brother Detective Team, let's go!"
Mackerel: "...What's the name?"
Santiago: "Your first word and my last word, very meaningful, right?"
Big Bluefish: "...'Sacred Fish' sounds better than Big Brother."
Santiago: "Huh? Sounds like leftovers..."
Big Bluefish: "How good is the name 'Big Brother'?"
"Sure enough...!" In another public restroom, Big Bluefish found a glass bottle with a fragrant aroma in the corner of the innermost cubicle, "There is a conspiracy!"
Santiago stretched his head and looked around. "But it looks different from the one just now..."
Taking out the first glass bottle for comparison, the bluefin tuna frowned, "...It really is, and they smell different, this one is stronger, and the one I found first is lighter."
"So... Atago-san put it in the wrong place?!"
"No! There must be another reason. And the brands are different. Maybe... he has an accomplice?!"
"Huh?!" Santiago was shocked. "How terrible! Everyone was so kind yesterday..."
The expression on the young face of the big bluefish was solemn, "Is this the world of adults...?
"S-Should we tell the commander first? What if we can't win?"
"Can the Commander win?" Big Bluefish sighed deeply, "We have to protect the Commander well..."
Santiago: "Big bluefin tuna QA Q..."
Big Bluefish: "I didn't expect things to become so complicated... I have no choice but to continue the investigation for the commander!
Santiago: "So, what should we do now?"
Big Bluefish: "Let's go to the next one... No, let's go back. Maybe we can run into our accomplices?"
Santiago: "And then?"
Albacore: "Then...if there is treasure, threaten her to hand it over, or we will report it to the commander!"
Santiago: "Huh?! Aren't we detectives to protect the commander?!"
Big bluefish: "Isn't it normal to earn some hard work fees during the protection process? Go quickly, and remember to look at my eyes and call for help later."
Santiago: "I-I understand!"
"Tsk, it's that smell again, the stink of dog..."
