Crash, the Paradise Typewriter is not designed for this kind of game

"So how many should I sign?"

"Hehe, of course the more the better. If possible, can you please sign all these newspapers? Please, Mr. Detective!"

Padufils clasped her hands together and asked the other party sincerely.

This time I really made a fortune, with the autograph of the famous detective. Those mystery enthusiasts and collectors in the tavern would definitely spend a lot of money to buy the autograph.

The more Paddo thought about it, the more excited she became.

As long as she has these signatures, she won't have to work hard in her next life. She won't have to worry about the deal. She doesn't need to get involved in this mess.

However, the mysterious organization called "World Serpent" seems to be very powerful. After all, it was able to allow him to board this cross-border train despite being restricted from leaving the country by the Destiny Police Department.

In order to prevent myself from disappearing from the face of the earth...it is better to give that thing to them first.

At this time, Padua Felice was already imagining herself lying on a big bed full of money, spending the money wantonly and living a life of luxury like a rich lady.

When Xia Yuan finished signing the first newspaper, his hands suddenly stopped moving.

"Why...why did you stop? Hurry up and keep writing!"

Padovali Si urged him in her heart, but on the surface she showed great admiration for the detective in front of her. However, Xia Yuan did not lose himself in the praises of little Padovali Si.

Xia Yuan chuckled.

He naturally saw what the girl in front of him was thinking.

The ballpoint pen that had stopped writing continued to write on the second newspaper...

However, this time he casually drew a portrait of Padua Felice on the newspaper, and added six long whiskers on her cheeks like a kitten.

Watching Xia Yuan continue writing his signature, Padofilis's little face was already beaming with joy.

Chapter 225: Phyllis the Smart and Capable

Although the smart and capable girl is at the bottom of the city...

But she found a way to make a living by using her ability to catch people in taverns and throwing some bait to the drunk customers.

Just say you are a fan of Mr. Detective...

Answer a few questions the other party asks about Mr. Detective, and then give some guidance.

He quietly revealed that he had some exclusive private information about the famous detective, and then tactfully explained that he needed a small reward so that he could have a good meal.

I believe those drunk drinkers will definitely rush to pay.

The girl who made a living in this way when she was young now lives a comfortable life alone in the city.

"Speaking of which... there is a rumor circulating in the streets and alleys that I like smelly socks, which has no scientific basis. I'm sure that Miss Pardo, as my number one detective fan, you should have heard of it, right?"

"Of course we've heard of this!"

But at this time, Padua Felice looked a little guilty.

"Because of this unfounded rumor...when visiting friends, or when giving gifts or celebrating birthdays.

“Others seemed to believe it.

"Subconsciously, I thought it was normal for a famous detective to have some strange hobbies that were different from those of ordinary people. I was troubled by this for a while.

"The smell that permeated the house from all the gifts I received was just awful."

Even...the world-renowned artist Miss Eden believed such rumors. On Xia Yuan's birthday, she received a gift carefully prepared by him.

[A pair of socks handmade by Miss Eden]

"Pfft~"

Padufils couldn't help laughing.

She had never expected that a small rumor of hers would have such a big impact on this famous detective.

Xia Yuan paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the girl in front of him with his deep blue eyes.

"So...I started an investigation, but this was not a matter for me to handle personally.

"On the contrary, the more I explain, the more people will believe it, so I asked my tavern friend Raven to secretly help me find out who is spreading this rumor in the streets."

"Following the clues, we found out that it was a girl who wore a white hood and belly-baring clothes all day long who spread the rumor.

“I thought about it carefully…

“That girl looks a lot like you, Padu. Both their body shape and physical features are surprisingly similar.

Padufils's expression gradually became a little unnatural.

"There are so many people wearing this kind of clothes, ahem... Detective, you must have recognized the wrong person, it must be like this!"

The girl said quickly with a slightly forced smile on her face.

"Well, it makes sense when you think about it. After all, you are my number one mystery fan, Padu. How could you do something that would damage the reputation of someone you admire?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's definitely the case."

Padufils nodded in agreement with Xia Yuan's words like a chick pecking at rice.

"Hmm... from what you just described, it seems that there are some similarities to what you said, but I have a habit of either being a friend or a passerby."

Xia Yuan paused for a moment.

"So, Padu, do you want to be my friend, or do you want to be a suspect in a case?"

Xia Yuan put down the ballpoint pen in his hand and presented the stack of newspapers to Padua, but Xia Yuan's fingertips happened to linger on the photos of the victims published in the newspapers.

Padufils looked at the information published in the newspaper.

Thinking of the other party's title that sounded like the god of death, he couldn't help but shiver all over.

She was still so young, she absolutely could not be cursed by the evil spirit possessing the detective like the other victims reported in the newspapers... and end up dying for no apparent reason!

"Well, of course I want to be friends with you, Mr. Detective! It is the honor of my life to be friends with the famous Ming Detective."

Looking at Padua's expression at this moment, Xia Yuan already understood that the psychological hint he had just given had quietly planted a seed in the other's heart and it had taken root and sprouted.

"Since we are friends, as a friend, if I want to help you clear your suspicion, Padu, it should be okay for you to tell me what happened that day again, right?"

Xia Yuan pushed the stack of newspapers with his signature in front of Padova.

"No problem, no problem, absolutely no problem, let me say it dozens, hundreds...even thousands of times!"

Padua Felice held it in her arms as if it were a treasure.

As long as she sells these newspapers to collectors, she will soon...soon become a wealthy woman!

Xia Yuan took out the notebook he carried with him from his windbreaker pocket.

"Well, Padu, tell me again what you did that day, from beginning to end."

"I still crawl out of the covered cardboard box day after day, hiding the cardboard under me so that others will not sell it as scrap, and then shuttle through the streets and alleys to sell newspapers. Then, at night, I use the money I earn from selling newspapers to buy a hot dinner. The diners in the restaurant can testify to this."

There was no pause in Padufils's speech.

Xia Yuan looked through the case files of the stolen jewelry.

The jewelry was stolen around 19:30-20:00 in the evening.

Miss Eden needed to wear some jewelry for her performance after 8 o'clock in the evening, but when she entered her own dressing room, she found the room in a mess and all her jewelry was missing.

Subsequently, Tianming police intervened.

The reason why Padova was listed as the key suspect...

Mainly based on Miss Eden's confession, she saw a figure dressed like a girl jumping out of the broken window carrying a package full of jewelry and disappearing into the night.

There are also two rows of footprints that look like cat paws left in the room.

Prometheus is a new generation of artificial intelligence developed by the Experimental Research Department of the Sentient Foundation.

Prometheus, whom Xia Yuan called "Classmate Xiao Pu", analyzed and tested the remaining materials in the room for DNA comparison and identified the suspect of the theft case in the Destiny database: Padofils.

But after investigation, within two hours of the incident...

Chapter 226 What are you waiting for? Come join the Domination Association

Padua stayed in the restaurant and enjoyed dinner.

According to the testimony of other diners at the restaurant, Padre Felice had a perfect alibi.

It is impossible for a person to be in two places at the same time.

But in the records of this case, the person who signed at the end caught Xia Yuan's attention. The person in charge of the case: Raiden Mei.

She originally belonged to Anti-Entropy Heavy Industries, but for some unknown reasons she switched to Tianming.

After the incident...

Miss Eden quickly called the police, and at around 8:05 p.m., Mei Raiden arrived at the scene.

It was this sentence that made Xia Yuan have some doubts.

Normally, when such a case is initially reported, the nearest patrol officer would be notified, who would conduct an on-site inspection first, and only transfer the case to the Sinister Headquarters if they find that it cannot be handled.

But coincidentally...

Mei Raiden, who holds an important position in the Sentence Headquarters, was taking a walk in a nearby park less than a few hundred meters away from Miss Eden's villa.

Xia Yuan included Raiden Mei on the investigation list.

"Pado, think carefully about whether you met any strange people before you went to the restaurant, or any beautiful aunt who happened to pass by you?"

Xia Yuan asked the girl in front of him with some suspicion.

"A weird pretty aunt? Um... no."

Paddo seemed to be trying hard to recall, but after a long while, Paddo Felice shook her head helplessly.

She was still the same that day.

I was selling newspapers as usual, just like before, and didn't meet any aunties or strange people.

"Hey, wait, Detective, I think I remember!

"Although I didn't meet him that day, I did see a very suspicious person a few days ago. I was about to finish work and go home. When I passed by an alley, I met a strange guy wearing black clothes. His arm joints were like those of a puppet. He was about the same height as me. I was scared at the time."

"The guy whose joints look like a puppet..."

Xia Yuan seemed to be thinking of someone, and wrote a few words in his notebook with a ballpoint pen:

[A pyramid scheme with thousands of members... (crossed out) Miss Domination - Puppet Master. ]

Xia Yuan: "Did she do anything to you at that time?"

Padofelice: "Well... that's not the case, but they forced a flyer on me and asked me if I wanted to join their union. I was so scared at the time that I just answered them perfunctorily and ran back to my nest."

“Is that flyer still there?”

"Yes, yes, Detective, I'll give it to you right away!"

Padufils took out a piece of crumpled paper from the cat backpack she made and named "Can" and handed it to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan took it and unfolded it.

[Are you still troubled by the constant exploitation of the capital monopoly of the two major financial groups, Destiny and Anti-Entropy? ]

[Are you still overwhelmed by the huge pressure of life? 】

[When will we, the proletariat, be able to stand up! ]

【Come and join the Domination Association... A beautiful tomorrow and future are waiting for all of us. 】

[We organize protest strikes and demonstrations regularly every month, and use legal means to let the two major financial groups see how powerful we, the proletariat, are when we work together! ]

In the center of the promotional poster, a blonde girl with a middle-parted hair is waving flowers in her hands.

"Hmm... As expected of a dominant lady."

It really seems like something a dominant lady would do. After having been caught once before, it seems that she has become much smarter this time.

I have to say that in a sense...

Miss Domination successfully broke the monopoly of the two major financial groups, Destiny and Anti-Entropy, with her own efforts.

This time, he stood on the side of Miss Domination.
