Chapter 1358 Detective (A new month, please give me a monthly ticket)

"Wow."

  Duanmu Huai suddenly opened his windbreaker, which scared Sha Jiuye. But soon, she was attracted by the small, furry little cutie in Duanmu Huai's arms!

I have to say that the red panda is very good-looking, with a round head, triangular white ears, a furry body, a long fat tail, and small and cute limbs. It looks like a living puppet and is lovable no matter how you look at it.

Of course, it's not that giant pandas are not cute, but they are too big when they grow up, and they are too picky about food. They are not a good choice as pets, but red pandas are different. They are small and cute, and they eat fruits.

Moreover, red pandas are very clean just like cats. They always clean their bodies and go to the toilet in a fixed place.

If it weren't for the fact that it is a protected animal and cannot be bought or sold, red pandas would probably be more popular in the pet market than cats.

Of course, red pandas in this world are equally precious. Although it is not that they cannot be kept as pets, the requirements are very strict and it costs a lot of money.

But for Duanmu Huai, is money a problem?

  When Sha Jiuye saw such a cute little guy curled up in Duanmu Huai's arms, staring at him curiously, he felt like his heart was about to melt!

"Oh, so cute... Can I touch it, brother?"

"of course."

Duanmu Huai chuckled. The red panda was very fierce when it was brought to him, but after Duanmu Huai used [Animal Taming] on it, the red panda became much docile and curled up in his arms without moving. Of course, this was only Duanmu Huai. If anyone else touched the red panda without protection, they would be in trouble.

After obtaining Duanmu Huai's consent, Sha Jiuye hesitated for a moment and slowly stretched out his hand to the red panda's nose. The red panda sniffed, and Sha Jiuye also stretched out his hand and touched the red panda's head and ears. The red panda shook its head, looking very comfortable.

"Ah... Woo... So this is what a red panda feels like..."

In just a moment, Sha Jiuye was completely addicted to it, and seeing Sha Jiuye reaching out to touch it non-stop, Duanmu Huai was also quite proud.

In fact, Duanmu Huai wanted to buy a pet, in addition to wanting to test his skills, another reason was to find something for Sha Jiuye to do. Sha Jiuye had followed him to two places in a row, and although Duanmu Huai drove her back in the end and did not let Sha Jiuye meet those evil gods, it was not good to do it all the time.

So Duanmu Huai thought of a way, which was to divert attention.

To put it simply, it means letting Sha Jiuye take care of the pet, and she will definitely not take her beloved pet to those dangerous places. In this way, Duanmu Huai can prevent Sha Jiuye from encountering those troublesome and difficult guys.

Of course, this red panda can be regarded as a bodyguard given to Sha Jiuye by Duanmu Huai. Although the red panda looks cute, like the giant panda, these two creatures are the type that can kill you with their cuteness and will not be punished even if they kill you.

It's just that they are relatively gentle and usually don't attack humans casually, so this misconception is created. But in fact, the red panda is called the nine-segment wolf - why is it called the nine-segment wolf instead of the nine-segment fox or the nine-segment weasel?

This "wolf" is very telling.

It's just like a cat. You think it's cute, but when it stretches out its claws and hits you, you realize how powerful it is.

Not to mention, the red panda's body and claws are much larger than those of a cat.

Of course, according to reason, even if the red panda is ferocious, it is no match for a large wild beast, not to mention the followers or offspring of an evil god, which would be a dead end. However, Duanmu Huai was prepared for this, with the skill [Animal Taming]. Duanmu Huai planned to train the red panda, and then inject divine power into it to transform it into a divine beast.

In fact, there are also such evil gods. The most famous one is the cat goddess Bastet, who appears in the form of a cat or a human body with a cat's head. She mainly rules the cats on Earth and in the dream world. Bastet also has her own cat servants to help her protect the cats.

Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn't need to go as far as Bast. Although he also likes cats, he doesn't intend to take care of all the cats in the world.

Duanmu Huai only needs to take care of his little panda.

After that, Sha Jiuye, who was eager to pet the panda, followed Duanmu Huai home. Just as Duanmu Huai thought, after returning home, Sha Jiuye spent most of her free time with the red panda. She bathed it, fed it, and played with it. Even when Duanmu Huai was training the panda, Sha Jiuye was watching from the side, and she even stopped watching the brainless romantic dramas she liked to watch at eight o'clock...

Well, I have to say, the effect is remarkable.

After acquiring the skill of [Animal Taming], Duanmu Huai found that it was indeed somewhat useful.

First of all, he can use this skill to judge the character of animals, such as whether the animal is brave or timid, loyal or selfish. Take this red panda for example, in terms of character, it is relatively delicate and sensitive, but also very courageous, at least it will not abandon its owner and run away.

Moreover, this red panda also has considerable skills. Its values ​​in [Climbing], [Reconnaissance], [Listening], [Survival], and [Tracking] are not low, at least above 60, which can just fill in Duanmu Huai's shortcomings. Of course, this red panda is an animal after all, not as versatile as the black cat that Lingnu transformed into, but for Duanmu Huai, it is enough.

A few days later, Duanmu Huai came to the bar again.

Only this time, there was a little panda on his shoulder. The panda was wrapped around Duanmu Huai's neck like a scarf, and lay on the side of his shoulder. Duanmu Huai walked to the bar as usual, and snapped his fingers at the boss.

"Same old as before."

"know."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the boss nodded, and then silently began to mix drinks. Duanmu Huai still sat in the same chair as before, looking around - there were already a few guests here, but they were all talking about their own things, even if Duanmu Huai came in, they just glanced and looked away.

Soon, the boss prepared the drink and placed it in front of Duanmu Huai. Then he looked curiously at the little panda lying on Duanmu Huai's shoulder, which looked like a scarf.

"We don't allow animals here."

"This isn't a cat or a dog, it's okay."

Duanmu Huai reached out and took a sip of the drink, then took out a grape and handed it to the red panda, who took it with his paw and began to eat it with satisfaction.

"I never thought you could get such a rare pet."

Looking at the red panda, the boss was also amazed.

"Does it have a name?" "Yes, Mimi."

"…………………What?"

"Mimi, it's cute, isn't it? Doesn't it suit it very well?"

  As he spoke, Duanmu Huai touched the red panda's head. He certainly understood why his boss had that expression. In fact, when Sha Jiuye first heard that he had given the red panda this name, he had almost the same expression. But for Duanmu Huai, this was actually very normal. In his opinion, the name Mimi is quite cute, isn't it? Some people also name their pets "Little Meow Meow" or something like that. What's the difference?

Although Sha Jiuye suggested that the red panda should be given a better-sounding name, Duanmu Huai did not change the name in the end.

After all, Mimi sounds nice, and it is simple, convenient and easy to remember. It is much better than John or Alice.

If that doesn't work, then a big yellow or a small red one would be ok?

After hearing the suggestion from Duanmu Huai, Sha Jiuye decisively backed down.

Well, Mimi is also good.

"You're still so weird."

The boss shook his head helplessly.

"By the way, someone will come to see you in a while."

"Find me?"

"Yes, do you remember what I told you before? The other party hopes to talk to you... Oh, here I come."

As soon as the boss finished speaking, Duanmu Huai heard the doorbell ring, and then he saw a man wearing a windbreaker and a hat walked into the bar. He nodded to the boss, then looked at Duanmu Huai, strode straight over, sat next to Duanmu Huai, then ordered a glass of wine from the boss, and then turned around and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Hello, Mr. Duanmu."

"who are you?"

Duanmu Huai teased the little panda lying on his shoulder without even looking at it. Well, maybe it was a habit, Duanmu Huai now felt that he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't do something or lie on something on his shoulder.

"I'm just an ordinary detective."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the latter answered.

"I came to you this time because I hope we can cooperate."

"cooperate?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at the other person silently.

"What do you want to work with me on?"

"Because we have a common enemy."

"Common enemy?"

I have to say, Duanmu Huai was really surprised by what the detective said.

"I don't remember having any enemies."

"Maybe you didn't have it before, but that doesn't mean you don't have it now."

As he spoke, the detective took out a notebook and placed it on the bar.

"what is this?"

"This is physical evidence I obtained while investigating a case."

As he spoke, the detective motioned to Duanmu Huai to open it. Duanmu Huai frowned, but still opened the notebook, and then he saw a series of records.

Strictly speaking, it’s the location.

Duanmu Huai had never heard of most of these places.

But that's only most of it.

The reason is that there are places in there that I have really seen before.

Kaigami Village, Shiraha Residence.

“…………………What does this mean?”

Duanmu Huai looked at the detective again, and the latter stared at him.

“That’s what I hope to clarify.”
