"Um... Elbing? Are you okay? I have some tissues..."
Looking at the girl in front of him who was a head shorter than him, Elbin sniffed, feeling both fearful and expectant.
"I, um... you will be safe!"
Su Xin was stunned, but reacted very quickly and raised her hand to catch the Gugu that was freely falling above her head, and ruffled its feathers.
"Hmm? What's wrong with you? Are you tired of losing weight? Is the intensity of Perseus' training so high?"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the light cruiser who inexplicably gave a blessing and then covered his eyes and sobbed quietly, "Uh, Elbing? What happened?"
Blücher leaned against Kewei and understood everything after a brief recollection.
"Oh...it's okay, maybe it's because the wish...finally came true?"
Chapter 1019: The Case of Killing Chickens in a Secret Room with the Door Open! (1
"Commander, I haven't come to see you for a long time..."
....?"
"Don't you feel...something's weird?"
....No."
"Oh no! If you keep going like this, your existence will become as thin as mine... No, like Nimi-chan!"
Z23, who was wearing glasses and marking homework, didn't even look up after hearing this. "I always feel like all those nicknames of mine came from you."
"No way." Javelin tapped Z404's shoulder, and a red tick with a wavy tail appeared on the notebook. "Hey, hey... I didn't know you were correcting homework..."
"I remember you had homework in your class yesterday, right? Have you corrected them all?" Z23 adjusted his glasses and wrote down the date.
Javelin puffed his cheeks, "Well... shall we talk about the Commander?"
Z23 was about to give some advice when Ayanami, who was sitting on the side with headphones on, tilted her head and looked over. "Commander...what's wrong...?"
As a loyal reader who has read many girls' comics, Javelin naturally would not miss the opportunity when someone took the opportunity to explain the story.
"The commander is very busy at work, and the secretary ship is a girl. As a girlfriend,
"...It's wife." A certain white rabbit corrected seriously.
Ayanami narrowed her eyes, suppressing the remaining military police instinct in her body, "...well, continue... speaking."
"Okay, it's my wife, Rafi-chan." Javelin crossed his chest and pointed his finger, analyzing, "Of course... I can't help but be jealous~"
White Rabbit was silent for a few breaths, "...No."
Javelin quickly moved closer and held the heroine's shoulders, "No, think about it again, you must have it!"
Z23 finished writing the last stroke, put on his hat and took off his glasses, and sighed, "Okay... Today is a rare holiday, why don't we go out for a walk?"
"Well, we need to go out for a walk."
"So should we go to Ye's hot springs or go to York City's sister's coffee—"
"Of course, it's to advance the plot and make our heroine and... another heroine reconcile~"
Rafi was stunned, "...We didn't quarrel..."
Javelin rushed over and whispered to her, "Rafi-chan, think about it, if there really is a conflict, we can help resolve it, and you and the commander will get along better and better."
"But.....
"Even if there is no problem, with so many of us, we can help the commander's assistant. You can spend more time with her."
Rafi is really moved. Although they sleep together every night, she hardly sees the little commander during the day.
They were either busy working or out with their secretary ship and head maid to entertain unfamiliar commanders or officials.
The former came here because of his reputation. If Su Xin took a tough attitude and refused to meet him, it might affect the reputation of the port area.
The latter was only for official business, distributing benefits while asking the chief about his views on recent official actions.
Su Xin didn't want to bring the strangers back to the port area, so she simply took them all outside to talk, which resulted in Lafite not being able to see the other person during the meal.
After all this, Lafite really missed his commander.
"…That?"
Javelin was about to speak when Z23 came over and patted her head. "I think it's better not to go to the commander without permission. In case it causes trouble..."
Javelin, who was just acting on impulse and not stupid, quickly calmed down and nodded, "Well... maybe we can make something delicious and go check on her? That should be fine."
Ayanami was not very confident in her cooking skills, and the first thought that came to her mind was to find a chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, Javelin, who was overly familiar with his little friend's personality, immediately hugged her and acted coquettishly, calling her "Ayanami-chan" on the left and "good sister" on the right, making the former gendarmerie captain unable to resist and had to agree.
The four of them made up their minds and set off immediately, chatting and laughing as they left the dormitory and headed for the cafeteria. However, when they entered the gate, they saw Manjiu lying unconscious in the hall.
Four out of five of the three great families: “?!”
"Click"
"Click"
"click click"
Z23 rubbed his forehead and said, "Ah... the storage space is almost full?"
"Well, Nimi-chan, be more professional." Javelin, who was holding his phone horizontally and taking pictures everywhere, muttered quietly, "At this time, it is important to maintain the scene and collect clues."
Ayanami walked forward silently and touched the motionless Manchu, "...sleep..."
The javelin cried out, "Ouch!" and hurried over, "You can't move it now. I didn't have time to draw the line."
Rafi was awakened by the scream of Javelin. He shook his head and thought for a long time in a daze, "... draw a line?"
"It's like the dead body in detective comics. You have to draw lines on the ground along the outline of the body to determine the posture and position of the dead person."
Z23 looked at the javelin that came forward after he finished speaking and took out the chalk from his pocket, "...Hmm? Did you bring it from the classroom?"
"Yeah, I originally thought that if I wanted to play hopscotch, I could use this as a drawing frame, but I didn't expect to use it here in the end..." Javelin said, and sighed with great emotion.
As a professional retired police officer, Ayanami could tell at a glance that the incident was not serious, but the sisters were too idle and refused to let go of the emergency.
Especially for those who have read detective romance comics but never had the chance to experience Javelin in person, I can’t tell you how hard I tried.
Not only did she take a bunch of meaningless photos, she also drew lines around Manchu's body, then put her on the table and covered her with a towel to avoid affecting the investigation.
"According to my observation..." Javelin made a V sign with two fingers, stuck at his chin, "This is a closed room killing game... Um, no, what is the opposite of a closed room?"
Rafi yawned, "Chocolate... okay? Simple."
Ayanami walked around the white line on the ground twice. She caught a glimpse of some debris near the chair legs. She took out her white gloves and put them on. She picked up a small amount and observed it carefully.
The crumbs are not dry and make a slight sound when pinched, similar to damp biscuits or steamed bread soaked in water.
"...Press its stomach to see if it has eaten--um...what is it doing?"
Javelin, who had changed into a plaid outfit at some point, took back his hat, took out his spear to compare, and felt that the size didn't match, so he took out the telescopic pointer he used in class.
"Of course I'm going to change you into something suitable. Look, Laffy and Nimi are both ready, right? You're the only one missing~"
Ayanami paused, turned around and looked, and it was true.
White Rabbit was wearing a white shirt and overalls, holding a pipe of unknown meaning. After a few breaths, he opened his mouth, took a bite, and swallowed it with a few chews.
"...sugar."
Z23 was holding the magnifying glass that was forced upon him by the javelin, standing there in his windbreaker on a hot day. He looked really serious, and he was really hot.
As for Javelina himself, he was wearing a tie, black gloves, and even a deerstalker hat, and it was obvious that he had been looking forward to this for a long time.
Ayanami knew that this matter was not a big deal, so she did not discourage her good friend's enthusiasm. She just returned the hat and said, "It's not easy to wear..."
Javelin glanced at the mechanical ears on the other person's head, didn't force it, put away his hat, and started rummaging through things again.
"...Is there anything for me...?" Ayanami looked at her and asked.
"Of course, each of us has a prop!" Javelin rummaged around for a long time and took out something, "Dangdangdang~ a magic weapon for collecting information through walls!"
Ayanami squatted there for a long time, and finally took it, turned around and poured water from the glass to drink.
“…Well, that’s useful.
"That's for eavesdropping!"
PS: I had a social event yesterday and got home around 12 o'clock, so I was silent and didn't have time to write a note. Sorry!
Chapter 1020: The Case of Killing Chickens in a Secret Room with the Door Open! (2
"Obviously, this is a criminal investigation case with extremely bad consequences."
"The murderer had been planning for a long time, and finally found a good opportunity today to approach and kill this poor wild bird!"
The great detective was busy filling in the blanks while her good assistant Lafite had no interest in the investigation. She lay on the table, opened her handkerchief, and poked the big belly of the sleeping Manju with her index finger.
Z23, who was fanning himself with his beret, thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... a good opportunity?"
Javelin tapped his palm with his pointer, "Well...it means she took advantage of the opportunity and attacked."
Z23 nodded. "Okay, I'll let you off, but how do you know the murderer... let's just call her the murderer, how do you know she's a woman?"
"Eh?! But there are only girls in our port area, right?!"
"I mean, maybe it wasn't a human who put it to sleep, but another barbarian?"
Javelin felt that this was not right, but he couldn't tell why, so he simply ran over to Ayanami and squatted down, "Ayanami, what do you think?"
The former gendarmerie captain, whose name had been inexplicably changed, rubbed the crumbs on his fingertips and thought carefully, but could not find the corresponding "Manchu Food" in his memory.
But she always felt that she had seen this piece of food residue somewhere before.
"...It's about food."
"Eh? Ayase-chan, did you find anything?"
Z23 had no choice but to speak up and stop him, "You, stop calling me those weird nicknames."
Javelin puffed up his cheeks, "I'm so bored because I have nothing to do when I'm with you. Besides, Ayase, Huabo, Ayaka, and Peanut are all very cute."
"How can Hua Bo be cute...don't force Watson's name into it."
"Okay, okay, I won't make a fuss anymore, let's get back to the topic." Javelin took off his coat and put it away, "It's so hot... Ayanami-chan, did you find anything?"
The ghost god closed his eyes and crushed the crumbs on his fingertips. The outside was crispy, but the inside was soft.
If it wasn't caused by moisture absorption, then it's more likely to be some kind of snack rather than a biscuit.
Following this line of thought, the only people in the port area who occasionally make some cakes to eat are Donghuang and Chongying.
The people in the Donghuang camp are all quite honest and don't seem like the kind of people who would do such a thing. Although they cannot be completely ruled out as suspects, the order of the investigation can be moved back.
Ayanami clapped her hands and stood up. She was silent for a few seconds under Javelin's expectant eyes, "... Let's go to our dormitory first."
Javelin: “Okay!”
Rafi: "...Aren't you here to make food?"
Z23: "Hey... don't complain about being too tired to grade homework tomorrow, okay?"
【Chong Sakura Dormitory】
The courtyard was as lively as ever, with either the little dragons jogging in circles or the destroyers chasing and playing with each other.
Today is the weekend and both teachers and students don’t have classes, so even though the few people who practiced swordplay went to the dojo, the house still couldn’t be quiet.
Ayanami had anticipated this and turned her head to avoid the ball the moment she stepped into the yard, and the soft cotton ball hit Lafite behind her.
"Ah, it's the teacher!"
The children greeted us politely, and then, remembering that it was the weekend, they came over chattering and saying hello, and were curious about why we were there.
Javelin put his finger to his lips mysteriously and said, "We are here to investigate a case. You guys need to keep it a secret, okay?"
Mizunotsuki: "Wow...what case? What case? Did someone steal the candy?"
Mutsuki: "Steal, steal candy?!"
Wen Yue: "Hmm? Sister Shiranui will be unhappy..."
Kisaragi: "So, are you here... because there's a thief in our house...?"
