Xie Shuyi followed Odasaku into the car, started the car and shifted gears with skillful movements. He turned the steering wheel and drove towards the watchtower.

Xie Shuyi was sitting in the passenger seat. He had already taken out his cell phone to check Ranpo's location.

After discovering that the small red dot on the screen coincided with the location of the watchtower, his expression became increasingly ugly.

"What's wrong?" Odasaku noticed his mood change and asked.

Xie Shuyi clenched his phone tightly, his fingertips trembling a little from the force. With a cold light flashing in his eyes, he whispered, "It's okay."

Ranpo and Po were together on the watchtower, and the raccoon had naturally touched Ranpo's shoulder.

The small figure jumped lightly onto Ranpo's shoulder, and the latter supported him with his palm for fear that he would fall.

But this was obviously unnecessary, as the raccoons were already familiar with the route.

Then he moved close to Ranpo's cheek, even putting his nose close to it, getting closer and closer to Ranpo's mouth.

Ranpo smoothed his fur soothingly, and the raccoon became visibly happier.

Ranpo's purpose this time is to find the person who destroyed the traces. As Fyodor's trusted assistant, this person is an expert in information manipulation and is also the key to finding Fyodor.

Po happened to be here with his own things to deal with. If it were someone else, he would definitely ignore it, but Ranpo's requests always made it inexplicably difficult for him to refuse.

In Poe's hand was the only information about the murderer, which was photos of the criminals who were witnessed at many crime scenes.

On the colorless black and white paper, a man with slightly long hair and a cold face appeared before him. Although there was no hostility in his eyebrows and eyes, one could still see his indifference and harshness.

Poe looked at the photo and couldn't help but complain, "It looks like you don't have many friends."

Ranpo couldn't help but complain, "You have no right to criticize others."

Po was speechless for a moment. He turned his head stiffly and changed the subject abruptly, "But why do you think the exterminator would appear here?"

Ranpo answered without much thought, "It was the superpower that Xiao Shuyi captured who gave it up, but..."

Thinking of that person's appearance, Ranpo scratched his chin, "He was a small-time person who spoke in a boastful manner. It must be fake news."

Poe lowered his head and looked at the time on his pocket watch. "It's been so long, and he still hasn't shown up."

Ranpo tilted his body and leaned lightly on Po's shoulder. The little raccoon also imitated his action, bending his small body slightly and putting his head on Ranpo's cheek.

"What a leisure time!"

Ranpo yawned, "Po, let's talk about something interesting."

Poe's hair instantly blew up, the fear of being dominated made him subconsciously refuse, "Give me a difficult problem?!"

As he was thinking about this, Poe suddenly had an idea. He raised the mystery novel in his hand and shook it. "How about I tell you about the mystery novel I was also challenging just now?"

Poe said as he spread out the novel, "This is the most sensational one right now..."

"No!" Ranpo refused without hesitation, "Mystery novel? It's more interesting to play with Jie Shuyi."

Po smiled good-temperedly upon hearing this, "Just listen to me first..."

But the smile on his lips was a little bit malicious. He said slowly, word by word, "The author of this novel was killed."

"And the murderer's method of killing is exactly the same as what he wrote in his novel."

Ranpo perked up a little, turned his head to look at Po, and signaled him to continue with his eyes.

The latter was obviously encouraged, and his expression and voice became more excited.

"This novel was serialized in a magazine for three chapters. The author was murdered just after he finished the manuscript of the fourth and final chapter [Solution]. After the murder, the murderer stole the manuscript of the fourth chapter from the scene. Because..."

Ranpo continued, "The fourth chapter contains the methods and truth of covering up evidence. Is that right?"

Poe nodded. "The deceased was a mystery writer with the pen name [Kindaichi]. The death of this famous writer caused a great sensation in the world. All police officers were mobilized to read the first three chapters repeatedly. They tried their best to solve the mystery, but all failed. I am also trying to solve the mystery, but it is really..."

The more Ranpo listened, the more he could not help but move his head towards the slope. As his body slowly tilted, the little raccoon had no choice but to lie directly on his head, holding onto Ranpo's hat tightly with its claws.
