Model worker and his little darling

“My daughter stayed at home ever since her boyfriend died of illness six months ago. She often looked at their engagement photos and cried. She had been feeling much better recently, so how could she have died?”

"So, suicide is a very likely possibility," Inspector Megure concluded, just like Uncle Mori.

At that moment, the forensic investigator came over and whispered in Inspector Megure's ear.

"What? You're saying he's been dead for five hours?"

The forensic investigator wiped Inspector Megure's drool from his face and nodded.

At this point, Takagi also confirmed Sachiko's mother's alibi.

"Sigh, it seems this was a suicide. According to the rigor mortis progression, it takes about five or six hours for the wound to appear in the hand. Because the hand muscles shortened and hardened, a second shot was fired."

Uncle Mori offered an explanation, then turned to Sachiko's mother and said, "Madam, please accept my condolences. This was your daughter's choice."

Shinichi Kudo sighed and left; there was no need for him to play a role in this case.

Inspector Megure nodded, thankfully the incident was resolved perfectly.

Although there might be some issues with the murder weapon, those are minor matters.

The company president was murdered a couple of days ago, and several police officers were also arrested. He was severely reprimanded by Superintendent Matsumoto and will be suspended from pay for several months.

I don't even know which direction to take to continue the investigation.

A group of people said goodbye by the roadside. Pingqing saw a familiar car parked by the roadside and squinted his eyes. He remembered seeing Gin appear in this area in the past few days on the map.

So, have you started patrolling Mihana now?

White-haired Sheriff, is it up to you to protect the safety of Beika Town?

Gin and Vodka also spotted Hirai in the crowd.

"Big brother, that's Mishikazu. He looks like he's talking to Inspector Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department. It seems his identity has been confirmed."

Gin didn't say anything, but he was still quite satisfied with Hirai's speed.

"Brother Mori, Brother Kudo, Brother Taira, I'm off now."

The group watched Inspector Megure leave, and Hirakichi sensed that someone was watching him.

He glanced around casually, and sure enough, it was Gin spying on him.

Ran and Sonoko were standing nearby, sighing, "Oh, Sachiko is so pitiful. Her beloved boyfriend died, and she chose to commit suicide out of love."

Ping Qing said calmly, "Is that so? I think her mother is more pitiful. She only had her as her daughter, and now that she has committed suicide to find relief, her mother will have no relatives left. You should think more about the people who love you when you encounter problems. What will they do if something happens to you?"

Uncle Mori chimed in, "I think Hirai is right. When you encounter problems, you should think more about your parents, relatives, and friends."

Sonoko, arm in arm with Ran, said, "Ran, Pingqing is practically glowing!"

Kudo scoffed, thinking to himself, "This guy just knows how to say flattering things."

Seeing Kudo's unconvinced look, Hirakiyo leaned close to his ear and said, "Well, now you know the art of speaking, right? Don't be silly and just talk about Sherlock Holmes anymore."

However, Pingqing thought about it and realized that since he met them, there had already been two cases involving relationships. Could it be a warning from heaven, telling him not to get involved in relationships?

……

Back home, Pingqing immediately turned off his phone; even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to disturb his sleep today.

I slept soundly until I was completely out of it, and when I woke up I had no idea what year it was.

I was getting up to find something to eat when I suddenly collapsed back onto the bed, my head hitting the wall.

Pingqing: Damn, it's rising too fast.

After a while, rubbing her head, Pingqing felt like she could see stars.

I slowly moved to the living room, turned on my phone, and called the owner of a nearby Chinese restaurant to order takeout.

He shouldn't go out in this state. Falling down the stairs is no joke. If he unfortunately falls and dies, he'll be on the front page of the newspaper.

Shocking! Japan's unluckiest man—fell to his death while walking down the stairs in his own home!

After enjoying a delicious meal, Pingqing felt as if she had finally come back to life.

After a satisfying meal, Pingqing sprawled on the sofa and began to doze off again.

"Buzz~", I received a message from Gin on my phone.

Disobedient pawns should be sent to meet their maker—Gin.

Pingqing watched the message slowly disappear. Gin was a man who only knew how to fight and kill. Even the members in the United States trembled when they heard his name.

After checking the details, I learned that Yamazaki, the general manager of Haruhi Bank, will be attending a banquet in three days, which is a good time to make a move.

I casually clicked on the picture of the person in question, and wow, that mustache looks familiar.

After carefully recalling the people he had recently met, Pingqing was certain that he had never seen them before, so why did he have this feeling?

[Xiaoqi, have I seen him somewhere before?]

【Host, you've met him before, but not in this world.】

Ping Qing sat up abruptly. He realized that this person was the first person to die in the anime, the bank manager.

Uh, I'm a little dizzy, I'll lie back down.

Since he's already on Death's list, there's no need for him to take action. He can just sneak in and go through the motions; this kind of mission is too easy.

……

three days later

Pingqing successfully blended into the banquet and watched from a corner as the old man and Yamazaki chatted happily.

Wow, she's really good at pretending. But her leg has been healed for a long time, it's impressive that she could keep up the act for three more months.

Soon, the two parted ways, and Yamazaki went upstairs alone.

Yes, we've hit the road.

Sudden--

"Ahhh-"

Pingqing followed the crowd and took a look. It was alright; the scene wasn't too terrible.

Soon, Inspector Megure arrived and began questioning them.

"Please, Inspector Megure, how long are you going to detain my guest?" the old man demanded from Inspector Megure, sitting in his wheelchair.

Inspector Megure waved his hand: "Sir, no matter what, the deceased was a guest at your banquet."

Just as the two were talking, Shinichi Kudo walked over in a pretentious manner, explaining the murderer's methods as he went.

Heikichi watched as Megure and Kudo unleashed their fury on the old man. Perhaps because their gazes were too intense, Kudo looked directly at him, and Heikichi politely nodded and smiled.

"You are the murderer, sir."

The old man tried to fool him with his legs, but Kudo said something pretentious and then picked up the globe next to him and smashed it at the old man.

The old man stood up immediately; his reaction was incredibly fast.

It turns out that Inspector Megure and Kudo already knew the old man's leg had healed long ago; this was a classic case of entrapment.

The old man tried to run away, but the globe struck again. Pingqing glanced at the old man lying on the ground. He looked quite old. Could he have suffered a concussion?

The murderer was caught, and the banquet ended.

Kudo wanted to find the young man who had been staring at him, but after looking around, he couldn't find him and had to go back alone.

The next day, Gin looked at the newspaper report, nodded in satisfaction, and made his move swift and without leaving a trace.

If he knew that Pingqing was just going to the banquet to eat and drink, he would probably start special training again.

Heiji spent a few more days in blissful contentment when Gin's message arrived again.

[There's a mission tomorrow at Dorobiga Amusement Park. —Gin]

【Received. —Royal Deer】

Heiji looked at the message from Gin and thought, "Tsk tsk, the plot is about to begin."
