Chapter 132

Sour, bitter, in short, it's very unpalatable.

I don't know why, he used the best coffee beans in the city, and other people brewed fragrant and delicious black coffee, but he brewed... uh, hard to describe.

He swallowed the coffee with discomfort, and suddenly heard the sound of the door opening in his ears.

"Clang clang clang, look what this is!" Ashuko, who came in, smiled and showed the paper bag in her hand to Shotaro.

"Ashuko, it's so late, why haven't you gone home yet?"

"I can't help it, the employees are still working hard, how can I be lazy as the director."

Ashuko sat opposite Shotaro, opened the paper bag and shouted: "Philip, come out for a midnight snack!"

"I'm here."

The curtain behind the living room was lifted by a white hand, and the handsome young man walked out slowly with the book he almost never put down in the office.

Except for the hair that turned green for some reason, Philip's appearance was almost the same as before.

Sitting next to Shotaro, Philip opened the food box in front of him and gently stroked the steaming hot air with his hands. The hot and spicy aroma of red oil and ingredients immediately hit his face.

"Hmm, what a delicious smell." He picked up a piece of stewed and very soft potato cubes and said with interest: "Is this spicy hot pot? It's really interesting."

As a person who owns the Earth Library, there are very few things in the world that can arouse his interest, except for food.

It seems that every delicacy that has never been tasted can arouse Philip's strong interest.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Shotaro's mind, and his hand stopped moving, and the bamboo shoots he picked up fell back into the bowl.

However, he no longer had the mind to eat at this time. He stuck his chopsticks into the bowl, stood up and shouted excitedly: "Taste! Yes, this is it!"

In the puzzled eyes of the two, Shotaro quickly ran to his own desk, leaned over to take out a black thing, and then closed his eyes and sniffed it deeply.

Only then did Asuka see the true appearance of the thing, and her eyes widened in shock.

But Shotaro still closed his eyes and was intoxicated in his own world, not noticing the impending danger.

——The fragrance of some plant, like fruit, no, it should be some kind of flower that can bear fruit.

Got it!

Shotaro opened his eyes in surprise: "I know, it's...ah!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The hard soles of the shoes hit the detective continuously, and Asuka roared angrily: "Shotaro, I didn't expect you to be such a pervert! I really misjudged you!"

"Ah, this, no, listen to my explanation!" Shotaro dodged the slippers in embarrassment.

"What else can I explain!" Asuka picked up the fallen high-heeled boots and asked coldly: "What's the matter with this boot?"

Shotaro answered in seconds: "The detective next door gave it to me."

Asuka was stunned, and slowly, her eyes widened and became rounder.

After a long while, she sighed, put down her boots and took out her cell phone.

"Hey, husband, I want to call the police..."

"Ah~! No, listen to my explanation!"

After finally calming down the furious Ashuko, Shotaro told his director and partner in detail about what he had investigated today.

"Well, that's it." Philip scratched his chin: "In other words, this is the witch's shoes, and you just thought of searching for her haunts based on the scent of the four-o'clock flower on it?"

Facing Ashuko's disgusted eyes, Shotaro nodded awkwardly: "Yes, that's it."

He also reacted at this time. The action just now seemed to be quite perverted.

There was no way, Shotaro was just like this. When he suddenly found clues like this, his body often moved faster than his brain.

But Philip had some other ideas.

"There is one thing that concerns me. According to what you said, Shotaro, the witch is like flying in the sky, but the detective next door almost caught her."

"I'm afraid that detective is not an ordinary person either."

Shotaro, Akiko:!

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it?!" Shotaro slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

Akiko thought about it and asked, "So, the witch and Blue Light Red are both impurities?"

"No, it's not certain yet."

Shotaro took the hat and covered his head, blocking his shining eyes.

"Let's go and see tomorrow. Speaking of which, we haven't officially visited this new neighbor yet."

...

The next day, eight o'clock.

Shotaro got up early and was excited to go and find out about Blue Light Red, but found that someone had already got there first.

Downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency, a police car was parked at the door.

Shotaro's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He recognized that this car was the private car of two of his old acquaintances, Hanano and Makura from the Fuuto Police Department.

This was not a good thing, because the cases they were usually assigned to were all murder cases.

Could it be that Lan Guanghong had already...

Before he could imagine the worst case scenario, two detectives appeared from the stairs with Lan Guanghong, who was jumping around.

Shotaro:...

If he is not the victim, then he must be the suspect?

"Hey, good morning, Shotaro." Lan Guanghong came downstairs and saw Shotaro and greeted him with a smile.

Shotaro's face was immediately dark.

This guy looked so relaxed, and he didn't look like he was caught doing something bad.

He took two steps forward and whispered to Renye: "Mr. Ren, what happened? Why do you want to take this... detective away?"

Renye asked curiously: "Why? Do you know him?"

"We can be considered friends."

"Well, I can't say more. Anyway, he is involved in a murder case now, and we have to take him back to the police station." After thinking for a while, Renye added: "But you don't have to worry. It is very likely that he didn't do it. We are just routine inquiries."

Hearing this, Shotaro was relieved.

"By the way, Shotaro." Lan Guanghong in the police car suddenly poked his head out and asked with a smile: "Have you caught the clue of the witch?"

"Is it this!" Shotaro stretched out four fingers in a bad mood.

"Awesome, worthy of being a Fuuto detective!" Lan Guanghong gave him a thumbs up and got back into the car.

Makura glanced at the two of them, not knowing what they were talking about. He stepped on the accelerator and the police car went away with a "woohoo".

Shotaro frowned as the car disappeared from his sight.

It seems that there is no way to find out Lan Guanghong's background for the time being, so he can only...

"Let's continue to look for the witch."

Chapter 194 Very good police vision/E rice bowl

Entering the police station is really a new experience for Lan Guanghong.

"It's much more spacious than I thought. By the way, will there be pork chop rice for later?"

Seeing Lan Guanghong's relaxed look, Renye was a little helpless: "Hey, this is a serious crime case, aren't you nervous at all?"

"Why should I be nervous? I'm not a criminal."

Renye:...

He decided to skip the nonsense and get straight to the point: "Mr. Lan Guanghong, where were you from 10:30 to 11:40 yesterday?"

Lan Guanghong recalled a little. At that time, he was looking for the witch at the T-junction, and finally beat up a bald man.

He frowned: "Is that bald man dead?"

Hearing this, Renye and Makura's faces became extremely serious at the same time.

"How do you know the deceased is a bald man? Were you at the scene?"

Makura was impatient and finally asked in an interrogative tone: "Answer the question!"

"Don't question me!" Lan Guanghong glared.

As if he saw another person's figure in him, Makura got a start and subconsciously stood up and straightened his body and responded: "Yes!"

Ren Ye:?

Looking at the strange eyes of his senior, Makura blushed and shouted angrily: "Hey, you! Give me..."

"Let me guess, is most of the body of the deceased missing, leaving only some broken limbs, with smooth cuts and burn marks?" Lan Guanghong interrupted Makura's anger and asked calmly.

Ren Ye was a little surprised, because everything the other party said was right, and he didn't look like the murderer, but someone who knew the murderer very well.

"Yes, and this is not the first time. We have found similar bodies near the T-junction building many times." Renye asked carefully: "You are a detective like Shotaro, have you found out who the murderer is?"

"I don't know yet, but I have some clues."

"Then, can you tell us about it?"

Lan Guanghong smiled and shook his head: "I can tell you, but not to you."

Renye, Makura:?

...A few minutes later, Lan Guanghong changed to a fully enclosed small conference room and waited for the person he asked for.

Unlike the low-key casual clothes of normal police officers, the visitor wore a bright red leather jacket, just like his fiery heart, extremely eye-catching.

"I am the Superintendent of the Paranormal Crime Investigation Division - Terui Ryu." Terui Ryu put his hands on his hips and said imposingly: "What is it? You must see me before you can tell me?"

Lan Guanghong smiled slightly and made him sit down quietly with just one word: "Dopants."

Hearing this word, Terui Ryu's face immediately sank, and he sat opposite Lan Guanghong and said seriously: "Tell me in detail."

Lan Guanghong did not hide it. After all, that guy was very cruel. Every delay might result in an extra victim.

"The criminal's true identity is the 'road' dopant. For some unknown reason, he will keep eating people. The attack method is to launch a high-temperature light wheel from the wrist and a light bullet from the fingertips."

"So that's it!" Terui Ryu understood as soon as he heard it, why the bodies found were always incomplete, and how the wounds on the broken limbs were formed.

One question was solved, but a bigger doubt was also placed in front of him.

"Ordinary people don't know so much about an impure body. Who are you?"

"No, no, no, I'll correct you." Lan Guanghong raised his index finger and retracted it, then spread his five fingers and made a bursting look.

"There is more than one 'road'. This road is the third one I know."

Zhu Jinglong:!

"As for me, I'm just a famous detective passing by." Lan Guanghong adjusted his glasses and smiled sweetly.

...

At noon, in a building far away from Tachikawa Building, Renye put down the telescope in his hand and rubbed his sore eyes.

"Senior, let me do it."

"Well, thank you for your help."

Handing the telescope to Makura who was on duty, Renye sat next to Lan Guanghong, rested silently for a while, and asked: "Detective, you said that the criminal is someone in Tachikawa Building. How sure are you?"

"Eighty percent." Lan Guanghong shook her legs in boredom and explained: "The owner of that building, Rensi Tachikawa, is an entrepreneur and is actually the leader of a criminal gang. The person who originally went to find him was Not much. Coupled with the murders and the legend of the witch, anyone with a sound mind will definitely not run there, so the only ones left in that area are the Tachikawa gang."

"And in this case, the prisoner can accurately catch every single person who is alone, and he can always leave before being discovered. I don't need to say what this means."

Renye naturally understood that in this case, there was a high probability that an insider committed the crime.

However, he still had some doubts: "But, someone witnessed the witch at the crime scene before..."
