Chapter 100 New Urban Legends and Lost Things

After the work of "Hauno's Delivery Service" was suspended, both Hodaka and Hina had a lot more time - after all, 15-year-old girls who dropped out of school and high school students who ran away from home did not need to attend classes or do homework.

Of course, there is no need for online classes.

The girls are naturally going to prepare the sunscreen, swimsuits and other things that they will use when they are going to play at the beach next time. The gay men can only stay at home and have nothing else to do except grow fat, so it is a special case. relax.So during this period of time, Fan Gao was dragged out by Aberlut to continue his detective work that really had no future, and by the way, he brought the little guy Nagi Amano with him.

Because of the abnormal climate change in this world, the enviable things like school trips were naturally hit, and the summer vacation became extraordinarily long.As the only person here who still goes to school (although it is elementary school), Amano Nagi passed the final exam with top grades at the end of June, and at the same time gained a long vacation that is enough to envy students from many other countries.

The vacation time will last from the first ten days of July to the last ten days of August. During this time, he can completely control and do whatever he wants.However, perhaps because he was idle, his curiosity about Alberto increased day by day, so he didn't go to accompany his very good female friends (active JC) at this time, but asked to join the men's detective daily.

Hodaka Morishima refused at first. After all, detective work is not as exaggerated as in comics, and it always revolves around murders and robbers.There is no such thing as Kaitou Kidd in the real world. Although the police sometimes encounter cases that cannot be solved, it is still impossible to involve people like private investigators in murder cases, so detectives can only pretend to be "nothing". Conan's Mori Kogoro", usually looking for cats and investigating extramarital affairs, only in this way can he maintain his life.

But that's it, Effie Detective Agency's books are not so good-looking, if he really depends on this job for a living and pays him a salary, Albert should have starved to death long ago.

Hodaka Morishima, who was thinking of something completely impossible like "If the firm goes bankrupt, let me take care of Albert and Sister Phyllis", was distracted, and was slapped by someone The man patted his head on the strength of his height, and his delusions were forcibly suspended.He could only turn his head away, accept the reality, looked at the white-haired young man who was checking the white gloves on his hands, and complained, "Ai Sang, do you still want to wear such thick clothes in such a big sun..."

Amano Nagi who was standing on the street also nodded, looking at Alberto with strange eyes.

Today is a rare sunny day in Tokyo - when Hina didn't use her weather forecasting ability, this kind of day was so rare that it was like UR was randomly drawn out of a garbage mobile game without a guarantee mechanism.The sun hangs high in the sky, stretching its own body. Although the climate is not as hot as usual in summer, it is not as hot as someone wearing a straight white suit, a white jazz hat on top of the head, and feet on the ground. Wearing leather shoes is so exaggerated.

Passers-by will definitely think that there is something wrong with this person when they see it. Is it really not hot?

Morishima Hodaka and Amano Nagi are both dressed in casual clothes and sandals, and they are even more out of tune with Albert. If this is a necessary card for detective work, Morishima Hodaka has to consider whether he wants to Find a reason to quit this job.

Alberto held the brim of his hat with one hand, looked up at the sky, and cast an annoyed glance at the two brats beside him, "Don't worry, you haven't done detective work with me for a long time, so you must I don’t know about some recent events, our job now is not to help people find lost cats.”

Nagi Amano became interested, "What kind of job is that?"

"Have you read the latest news?" Albert tugged at his collar to make the tie looser, apparently he didn't like this serious attire too much, "it might be a bit wrong in terms of news, it's accurate It should be said to be 'rumours'... just like the urban legends like 'Qingnv', something new has come out of it during this time."

Hodaka and Amano Nagi looked at each other.

They knew about Haruno's rumors. After all, their "Harune's Delivery Service" itself was a monopoly industry extended from urban legends, but when it came to other urban legends, they naturally didn't know much about it.

Nagi Amano is a good student, and he is busy with his studies at the end of the semester. Although there will always be some gossip from the girls to him, he has not paid much attention to it. Hodaka has been busy planning the route some time ago And dealing with the entrustment received on the entrustment website, I was really busy when I was busy, and naturally I didn't have the time to pay attention to other urban legends.

Alberto looked at the confusion on the faces of the two children, and didn't want to get any answers from them, so he didn't make a fool of himself, and gave the answer readily, "'The voice in the mirror', during this period of time, the city It's an urban legend."

"The rumor started that someone was washing up, putting on makeup or something, in short, when they were facing a mirror or something that could reflect it, strange sounds would suddenly start ringing in their ears... At first, there was a messy and rapid ringtone , and then it will turn into a noise of unknown meaning, like a man with a deep voice speaking to you indistinctly, this is the whole picture of this urban legend."

Morishima Hodaka frowned strangely, "This kind of legend can't be taken as true, why is it that you, Essan, are talking about it so seriously?"

Alberto could only show an expression of hatred, "Please, even [-]% Qingnv are real, do you still think that everything in this world can be explained by your current worldview? What’s more, even if you think it’s unlikely, you still have to come to a conclusion after on-the-spot investigation, the job of a detective can’t be a conclusion from the very beginning.”

He reprimanded Morishima Hodaka who was sprayed with blood, but he lowered his head embarrassingly, hooked his fingers on his cheek, and replied weakly, "Sorry..."

At this time, Nagi Amano, an elementary school student whose mental age in Alberto's eyes was much older than Hodaka's high school student, raised his right hand and asked obediently as if asking a question in class, "Albert Since Mr. already knows these things, it means that these things have caused some harm? Otherwise, there is no need to find a 'detective'!"

Look, what is sensible?What does it mean to have a good brain?

Alberto looked contemptuously at the adolescent boy whose brain had been corrupted by love, and the expression on his face became serious, "That's right."

"Senseless auditory hallucinations are not a troublesome thing, but the important thing is that after encountering this kind of thing, someone has a trance or even a coma."

He paused, as if to give the two people a time to receive the information, and then continued, "At this time, the victim will lose 'one thing'."

……

……

Chapter 101 What? Don't you have fate with men?

"Missing something?"

As a qualified younger brother, Morishima Hodaka, who had been staring at the white-haired young man beside him, naturally lived up to expectations and asked such a question, "If something is lost, generally speaking, the police should be called first, right?"

It is normal for ordinary people to call the police first when something goes wrong, but Albert shook his head.Nagi Amano, who was observing his movements, pinched her chin, and meditated like a detective, "Generally speaking, the job of finding a detective is the kind of thing that is inconvenient for the police to handle, or the client has some unspeakable secrets." Right? Could it be a matter of missing something?"

Alberto glanced at the child with praise, hummed, and pressed the brim of his hat, "That's the truth. The reason why the victims didn't go to the police is because these things are too bizarre. Those who come across this urban legend Every lost item is different, but there is no doubt that it is a 'very cherished and private item of the user'. Sometimes it is just a hidden love letter, and sometimes it is an erotic book under the bed. Tell the police, they can't file a case."

After all, you can't call and say, my son is in a coma, and he lost the erotic book under his bed, right?

Go and tell the police, see if he believes you or not!

It has been quite a long time standing on the side of the road, and Alberto no longer stayed here to attract the attention of passers-by, and led the two of them towards this time's destination.Along the way, he continued to introduce his work this time in a relaxed tone, "The situation is actually not as serious as what I said at the beginning, although sometimes there will be some problems, and it is true that some people are unconscious because of it." , but the duration is very short, and it even makes people feel like 'I haven't had a good rest' so to such an extent, so this matter is just an 'urban legend', not a popular nationwide like 'Gap Girl' Weird trend, the problem we have to solve this time is not too difficult."

At this time, Morishima Hodaka, who had gradually regained his previous sense of being a detective assistant, also entered the state, "Aisan, what is the situation of the place we are going to first?"

Albert shrugged, "I don't know the specific situation. The client has never been in contact with the firm before, and I don't know where he learned about the firm. Then he called to inquire. The Effie Detective Agency Is it so famous? How can it be recommended by other customers? "

You also know that your firm is not doing well!

Nagi Amano and Hodaka Morishima secretly complained in their hearts at the same time.

"In short, let's talk about the specific situation after getting the destination, but this time the client is a woman, and the voice is very nice, maybe she is a beautiful woman. Do you feel a little excited when you think of this?" Alberto teased. She raised her eyebrows, looked at the most easily teased high school student who ran away from home, reached out and patted his shoulder, "I understand young people's affairs."

"What do you know!" Fan Gao, who was blushing, shouted innocently. After attracting the attention of passers-by, he quickly shrank his neck in embarrassment, and looked helplessly at his family who always liked to joke. The boss said dejectedly, "Aisan, you can do whatever you say...although I don't have any expectations."

I didn't have any expectations, which means I still look forward to this kind of encounter, right?

Albert put away his jokes, the place where they stayed at the beginning was not far from the destination, and now they are almost at the destination after walking for a while, so naturally he can't treat himself with a hippie smile Customer, this is against his spirit of service - although he doesn't know why he has this kind of thing, but this does not prevent him from being complained by customers so far and wants to continue this kind of praise.

However, this destination somehow made him feel a little déjà vu.

At the edge of the road, on the floor full of advertisements and down the stairs, before arriving at this low-lying house that feels like it will be flooded when it rains, Alberto raised his left index finger and flicked. Flicking the hat on his head, he matched the name in his memory with the house number in front of him.

"Suga Office?"

He couldn't help thinking of the bearded uncle named Suga Keisuke that he and Fan Gao met on the ship, and couldn't help thinking, "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

After ringing the doorbell, the three people standing in the corridor full of potted plants and abandoned decorations, and with a lot of moss growing on the walls, soon heard a shout coming from inside, followed by hurried footsteps, and soon It soon stopped at the entrance, and a gap was opened in the closed door, and half of his face was exposed through the chain-hung door.

"Excuse me, are you a detective from Effie's Office?"

When seeing the person coming, the innocent boy Morishima Hodaka's breathing obviously stopped for a moment.It's nothing, the main reason is that suddenly seeing a beautiful woman with extremely high value appearing in front of him, some people will indeed have this kind of reaction, but this kind of reaction is generally more embarrassing.Fortunately, the kid hasn't shown Brother Pig's face yet, otherwise Nagi Amano would have thought about whether or not to report to his sister, which would be embarrassing—fortunately, he didn't.

The face with a little makeup is picturesque, the facial features are beautiful, and the black hair is softly scattered around him. The most important thing is to look at it from this angle, and you can just see the deep gully on the chest of the beauty who opened the door to inquire. .

However, the sight of our gentleman Mr. Aberlut did not stop at this lingering beauty. He just took a rough look at the situation of his employer, and preliminarily determined that there is nothing strange about her age and her body. So I put on a smiley face, "Hello, I am Detective Albert Lutt of Effie Detective Agency, and you are Ms. Natsumi Suga who sent the entrustment on the phone."

"Hi, I am." Perhaps it was Aberlut's formal attire and cheerful appearance that lowered her vigilance, this Ms. Suga Natsumi gave an obvious sigh of relief, and fiddled with her fingers on the door bolt , opened the door of the office, and led everyone inside, "Come in, it's a little messy inside..."

The place near the door is not too messy.

Following behind this woman in cool hot pants with bright thighs exposed, stylishly dressed and with a good figure who should be a model, Aberlut pressed the jazz hat on his head and walked into the room from It doesn't look like much from the outside, but in fact, the interior decoration is still a decent office.Turning your head around a little, you can see that this is probably the living room. There is a bar counter similar to a bar next to the door. The vertical cabinet on the wall is full of all kinds of wine bottles. Obviously, the owner here I like to drink very much.

There are still a few sofas in the living room, but they look a bit old. The "problem object" he was invited to deal with this time is not here.Natsumi Suga didn't take them to stop in this living room either. Although Albert could see that she was very surprised that she had two children, one big and one small, by her side, she still held back and didn't ask. , led them all the way to the back of the living room, which was slightly covered by a bead curtain, which was similar to a studio.

It is full of messy books and newspapers, which looks quite like his own office, but Alberto doesn't care about such "manly" details now.He looked at the target task sleeping on the sofa, and finally showed interest on his face, "This commission is really interesting."

"?"

Before Suga Natsumi wondered why the detective said that, Morishima Hodaka next to him looked at the man sleeping on the sofa and exclaimed, "Keisuke-san?"

"Huh?" Now the lady who invited the detective to come to her uncle's house to help her get caught in an urban legend was really surprised. She looked at the black-haired boy who looked like a high school student with a startled face. , and looked at the white-haired detective dressed like a cosplayer who was invited this time, and raised his voice slightly, "Do you know Xiaogui?"

Oh, this is really a wonderful fate.

Alberto patted the shoulder of the young man beside him with emotion, "Fan Gao, it seems that you are not only destined to be with Xiao Yangcai, but also have a destiny with this uncle."

……

……

pS: The second update, the keyboard rest is very comfortable to use, and the problem of the wrist is indeed relieved a lot when typing.

The feeling of returning to normal updates is not bad. It has the same smell as before, but the schedule can't be adjusted well.

Chapter 102 The Lost Ring, Abelut's Real Purpose

Chapter 102 The Lost Ring, Abelut's Real Purpose

"Ethan!"

Fan Gao yelled helplessly, but he didn't go any further.In the past few months, he has become very familiar with someone's style. If some jokes are serious with him, he will be dragged into the chat session. It is better to ignore his funnyness and directly talk about the business, "We will do it next what?"

"Okay, let's stop making trouble."

It's just that he made fun of Morishima Hodaka a little out of curiosity, and Alberto didn't have any intention of continuing to quarrel with him.He nodded to the beautiful woman who was looking at him and Fan Gao curiously, and explained a little, "We met Mr. Suga Keisuke once before when we were on the ship, and we ate together. I know you."

"Miss Natsumi, are you a relative of Mr. Suga Keisuke? May I ask how long he has been in this situation?"

Albertlut, who has entered the working state, is undoubtedly extremely reliable. His calm and natural performance also gave Suga Natsumi a certain amount of confidence, and made Suga Natsumi, who was originally in a hurry to go to the doctor, feel more at ease.

When a normal person encounters such a situation where a family member suddenly falls asleep, he must either go to the doctor first, or go to the police directly, but she has heard about it from a certain university classmate before, and she has also met Keisuke Suga. In the end, the white-haired detective from "Effie's Detective Agency" was asked to solve this situation, otherwise she, who is not very familiar with the detective industry, would not have found Aberlut here.

"I don't know the exact time, but when I came to the office in the morning, Xiaogui was lying on the sofa like this. I didn't think there was any problem at first, it was just that he slept late after staying up late , but when it was almost noon, I called him up to eat but couldn't wake him up, so I felt that something was wrong." Natsumi Suga clenched her right fist and put it on her chest, her expression was full of worry, "I feel that Kei will It's like falling asleep, and there is still a reaction to touching his body, but the only problem is that he can't wake him up..."

It was like falling into a nightmare from which I could not wake up.

As a young man in the age of information explosion, at this time, he should have started to make up a series of "nightmare" and other things. I've heard that the current situation is not so much a disease, but a "spiritual event" is better understood.

"Don't worry, it's not too troublesome. Generally speaking, you just need to find the lost things." Albert smiled gently, using his own smile to ease the tension in the employer's heart, "Don't worry, According to my investigation, although this situation cannot be explained by general theories, it seems that it will not cause harm to people at present. As Miss Natsumi said, this may be just a 'dream'. "

Natsumi Suga nodded vigorously, "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Albert."

Looking at the other party's eyes full of expectation, Alberto was a little curious why Miss Suga Natsumi had such confidence in herself.

He didn't know that because he helped solve such problems several times, he already had the nickname "Psychic Detective" in a certain circle.Coupled with the personal experience of a friend who has dealt with him, it can also be found on the Internet that this "Effie Detective Agency" is a legal firm with a formal license, otherwise Suga Natsumi would not be so relieved to call People come directly to their own homes.Unknowingly, he has become an expert in this field in the eyes of the relevant people-of course, an expert is more trustworthy than a guy without any achievements.

Even if the expert comes with a high school student and a primary school student, it's the same. After all, Holmes also has his famous Baker Street squad. What's wrong with a psychic detective bringing two assistants?

As for the question of whether child labor was used, maybe it was children from other people's homes who came to help?That would not count as employment of minors.

All in all, now Suga Natsumi has secretly found a lot of reasons for herself, and put most of her hopes on this handsome white-haired detective.Although she is a grown woman who has graduated from university and wants to become a social person, it is not something to be ashamed to be afraid of such a thing, is it?

Eberlut was of course reliable, so he quickly got to work on his own.However, his working method is completely different from what the other three people present imagined. He took out a palm-sized mirror from his pocket and held it in his hand like some kind of detector in a coma. Suga Keisuke's body swept up.

He scanned very carefully, just like a doctor scanning a patient's whole body, carefully and carefully from head to toe, without missing a single point.Because the mirror is relatively small, he had to bend down when doing these things, and at the same time, he looked at the mirror with a sideways face and concentrated expression. The silent appearance did put some inexplicable pressure on everyone present, so that The strange situation of holding a mirror to look at people failed to arouse everyone's desire to complain.

When the position of the mirror in his hand moved to the position of Suga Keisuke's left hand, Aberlut, who had been staring closely at the picture reflected on the mirror, suddenly stopped, raised his eyebrows, and looked at him He stayed on the ring finger of his left hand for a moment, and then quickly moved down again, quickly ending this act of unknown meaning in the eyes of others.

Seeing him straighten up, Natsumi Suga hurriedly shouted, "Did you find anything?"

Alberto turned aside and was waiting for his answer. Morishima Hodaka and Amano Nagi looked at him with puzzled eyes, then nodded and said, "Ah, Miss Natsumi, I might be presumptuous, I want to ask Is Mr. Keisuke Suga divorced now?"

"Hmm..." Suga Natsumi was obviously silent for a moment when this question was suddenly asked.After a long while, maybe after thinking about it, she made a decision, then she shook her head, with a bit of disappointment in her voice, "Did you find something? But that's not the case...Xiaogui's wife, Asuka, has already Died in a car accident."

"Sorry for reminding you of bad things." Alberto shook his head lightly.

The white-haired detective raised his left index finger, tapped it on the brim of his hat, and pushed it up, "So, the wedding ring...Mr. Suga Keisuke has no reason to take it off in the near future, right? His There are traces left by wearing the ring for a long time on the ring finger, but if you look at it now, you can’t see the existence of the ring, considering what you said, Miss Xia Mei, the 'lost thing' should be his ring."

"Ring...ah, ring!" Reminded by his words, as if suddenly remembering something, Suga Natsumi screamed, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, "Why didn't I notice, Xiaogui's ring is missing... that's right, Xiaogui has a very good relationship with Aunt Asuka, if according to the urban legend, the missing thing is the ring he was wearing on his finger!"

"It's a very simple answer, so it doesn't take much effort to think about it. This time the job is very easy." Albert patted the folds of his suit, and retracted the mirror in his hand Pocket, shouted to the duo of assistants who were still a little confused, "Fan Gao and Nagi, come and help, help find the lost ring in this room, it should not be too far away from the unconscious person himself."

Morishima Hodaka and Amano Nagi suddenly realized why Alberto brought the two of them with him. It turns out that there are still two people who are looking for things here... But although they still have a lot of puzzles in their hearts He didn't have any complaints, and diligently began to search for the "lost ring" in this very messy office.

Under the sofa, under the refrigerator, under the newspaper, in the gaps in the books... If you really want to find it, if you are unlucky, it may really take a lot of effort.

All of a sudden, there was an endless sound of rummaging through the house.

Looking at the two busy children over there, Suga Natsumi quickly shouted, "Then let me help too!"

But Alberto waved his hand to stop her from joining the two little ones in the hunt, took out a small notebook from another pocket of the suit, and said with a slightly serious face, "No, Miss Xia Mei, the huntsman Leave the matter to the two children first, I still have something to tell you."

"According to the usual situation, after the lost things are found, the person with the problem will soon return to normal. But I have been doing research in this area recently, just like a doctor always tells a patient who has just been discharged from the hospital to always pay attention My own body, can you please help me continue to observe Mr. Keisuke's follow-up situation?"

Natsumi Suga, who relaxed a lot, nodded quickly and said, "No problem, thank you very much for your help this time, although it may not have cost you much effort, but I don't know if you let me do it When will the lost ring be found, and when Xiaogui will wake up is also unknown... I will transfer the remuneration directly to your firm's account this time, and I will help you pay attention to Xiaogui during the next period of time If there is any change in the situation, I will call you."

"Thank you very much." Alberto showed a smile on his face, and bowed, "Thank you for cooperating with our work. Such a considerate and straightforward customer is a precious existence for us service providers."

"found it!"

While the two were talking, Fan Gao who was looking for the ring on the other side suddenly shouted, which attracted everyone's attention.The boy who was kneeling at the corner from the living room to the office reached out his hand and fumbled twice on the edge of the column with several notches, and took out a silver-white ring from it with an excited expression on his face.He trotted to the side of Albert and Natsumi Suga, and handed the ring in his hand to the beautiful black-haired royal lady, his face flushed with excitement, "Miss Natsumi, is this the ring?"

It looks like a player who suddenly found the final reward when digging for treasure.Alberto slandered from the bottom of his heart, watching Suga Natsumi take the ring from Hodaka's hand, without her answering, he had already confirmed the final answer.

That's right—because he'd seen it, in the mirror.

Suga Natsumi also exclaimed in surprise as he expected, "That's right! That's it! I heard from my friend that as long as you put the things next to the person who had the accident, he will quickly return to normal Right."

Aberrut nodded, and made a gesture of invitation, "That's it, we don't need to participate in the next thing, right? If that's the case, then we will leave."

Such a clean and decisive appearance, without any sloppy appearance, made Morishima Hodaka, who had dealt with several commissions with Alberto, feel a certain kind of violation—you must know that Albert is usually very idle, and he is solving commissions. During the process, he liked to chat with the client very much. The style of leaving immediately after finishing the commission like this time is really not in line with his previous style.

In this case, maybe he discovered something, but it is inconvenient to tell Suga Natsumi here.
