A Sorcerer in the Detective World

6:50 pm, Yoneka Town 4-chome.

In front of Shimada Family Restaurant, a taxi stopped, and then a man carrying a sketchpad got out of the car and hurriedly walked to the restaurant.

Seeing this, the waiter at the door quickly opened the door of the restaurant and bowed slightly: "Hello, sir, welcome. Who are you?"

"You two, I made an appointment to meet here." As the man spoke, he looked towards the seats in the hall. When he saw a man wearing a woolen hat in the corner, his eyes lit up and he nodded to the waiter. "I've already seen my friend."

"Do you need me to help you lead the way?"

"No need, I'll go there myself."

The man finished speaking and walked towards the man in the woolen hat.

At the seat, a man wearing a woolen hat was eating curry. When he saw someone approaching, he gently put down his spoon, pointed to the seat opposite, and motioned to sit down and talk.

The man carrying the drawing board nodded and sat down, then said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Akai, I have brought the two paintings as you requested."

"Really? I'm really troubling you." Akai Shuichi nodded slightly, his tone a little hasty, "Mr. Zhen, can you show me the painting first?"

"Of course." Shindaijiro responded, took the drawing board off his back, found two sketches he drew in the afternoon, and handed them to Akai Shuichi, "The one in front is the woman that the policewoman Zhou met. Ghost, as for the one below, she encountered it earlier..."

Akai Shuichi took over the two sketches, and when he saw the "female ghost" in front of him, he suddenly lost consciousness. He was silent for more than ten seconds, with complicated thoughts in his heart, and whispered softly: "It's her... it's her... "

Shindaijiro looked at Akai Shuichi and suddenly felt a little nervous. He couldn't help coughing lightly, then he took out a tape from his clothes and said: "Mr. Akai, this is the conversation recording I recorded. Are you satisfied with it?" ?"

"Well..." Akai Shuichi came to his senses, nodded and said, "Very good."

"Okay." Shindaijiro asked with a dry smile, "Then should you get the rest of the reward..."

"Don't worry, I've prepared it for you." Shuichi Akai said, took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Shin Daijiro, "Mr. Shin, the curry in this family restaurant tastes very good, do you want to come? One portion, my treat."

Shindaijiro took the envelope, felt the thickness of the envelope, shook his head with a smile and said: "No need, I have other things to do, so I won't bother you. In addition, Mr. Akai, if you have such a thing in the future, you can contact me, I will definitely help."

After Shindaijiro finished speaking, he stood up and left. Akai Shuichi picked up the tape left by Shindaijiro, took out a Walkman, put on headphones, and fast-forwarded to the section about another "female ghost" while eating curry. While listening.

About five or six minutes later, Akai Shuichi finished eating the curry and squinted his eyes slightly: "The policewoman met Akemi and this female ghost once in Cupido Town. It was late at night and raining, and there were also... There was a fire in a biological research laboratory... That night, wasn't it the time when Pisco was killed and Mingmei's sister disappeared? Could it be that Mingmei's sister actually..."

Akai Xiuyi speculated, picked up two more sketches, looked at Fang Mingmei's portrait, and was stunned.

At the same time, at the door of the family restaurant, the waiter looked at the beautiful little lolita wearing a red dress and carrying a new Prada bag, and asked: "Child, are you here to see your father and mother?"

"No, I'm here to eat." Little Lolita Haihara replied coldly, walking towards the empty seats in the hall, "I want a curry and I'll eat it here. It's best if it can be a little faster."

"Uh...ok."

The waiter responded and watched Haiyuan walk away.

Haibara walked slowly into the hall with a small bag on his shoulder. When he was about to find an empty seat and sit down, he saw Akai Shuichi in the corner. His pupils shrank involuntarily, and then he squinted.

He slowly walked to the seat next to Akai Shuichi and sat down. His ice blue eyes peeked at Akai Shuichi's position:

"What is this man doing here? Is he eating? In his hand is... a portrait of my sister? Was that painted by himself? I really didn't expect that he still has this skill..."

Loli'ai was thinking wildly when, sitting next to her, Akai Shuichi suddenly turned Akemi's sketch aside, revealing Cheng Mi's sketch underneath.

Haiyuan saw Narumi's sketch clearly, and his expression changed instantly. He suddenly became solemn and a little unbelievable: "Is that...Mr. Narumi's sketch? Although there are a few places that are different, it should be! But! , How come this guy has a portrait of Mr. Cheng Shi? He must have never met Mr. Cheng Shi..."

Loli's heart was spinning and she was thinking when she suddenly heard a "rumbling" explosion sound coming from outside, followed by the chandeliers, pendants, tables and chairs in the family restaurant shaking as if there was an earthquake.

In the restaurant, the guests who were eating were all startled. They all turned to look out the window. Everyone opened their mouths in surprise and started discussing the scene outside the window:

"Oh my God! What's going on? Why is there such a big fire all of a sudden?"

"That's a gas station! Could it have exploded?"

"Why did it suddenly explode? Also, was that a tanker truck? Why was it also on fire?"

"There seemed to be a taxi in front of the tanker, and it was hit by the control cabinet. It was so tragic."

"At this time, there should be a lot of people inside the gas station. It's really..."

"..."

In the corner, Loli Ai and Akai Shuichi listened to the chatter in the restaurant. They both stood up and looked out the window. Sure enough, they saw a raging gas fire at the gas station and a burning oil tanker. Cars were dripping onto the ground, and the flames were spreading at a terrifying speed. The cars that were refueling in the gas station all drove away from inside...

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly as he looked at the accident outside. He quickly packed up the two sketches and the Walkman with both hands, checked out and left the Shimada Family Restaurant.

Loli Ai watched Akai Shuichi leave, glanced at the surveillance camera in the restaurant, walked quickly to a waiter, pretended to be a pitiful little loli, and shed tears:

"Hello sister, I left just now and can't find my sister. She was sitting here just now. Can I take a look at your surveillance to see when she left?"
