"After the incident with the bandit BEARS _ EYE …" Feng Bujue continued, "That basically confirmed it, right?"
"Very sharp, Mr. Player who is controlling Mao Tarō," Aiko The Penguin said, "In terms of reasoning speed, he appears to be even faster than me."
"Hey … what is going on?" Xiao Tan was having trouble keeping up with their train of thought, so he quickly interrupted to ask.
"Yes, what is going on?" Feng Bujue put his hands in his pockets and looked at Aiko The Penguin. "Please explain it to me, Aiko The Penguin. I would also like to hear the details."
"Humph … what reason do I have to tell you all this?" Aiko The Penguin asked.
"Why not?" Feng Bujue pointed at Hirata. "As long as Hirata-kun is here, everything is under your control, isn't it?" He opened his arms and tilted his head to the side. "If you don't share this meticulous plan of yours with us … wouldn't that be like casting pearls before swine?"
Aiko The Penguin was silent for a few seconds. He did not immediately respond to Brother Jue's request. Instead, he walked to Hirata's side and asked, "Are you okay? Hirata-kun? "
"I … am fine …" Hirata's breathing had just calmed down. "Don't worry."
As he spoke, he sat up. The color of his body gradually returned to its original appearance.
"Hmm …" Seeing this, Aiko The Penguin sighed in relief. Then he turned around to look at the two players. "Okay … I don't mind telling you."
At that moment, another voice came from behind Brother Jue and Xiao Tan. "Let's start from the day they were transferred to our class."
"Is that necessary …" Xiao Tan turned around and complained, "Every time they appear, they appear from behind us …"
Feng Bujue did not need to turn around to know that the person who appeared this time … was Tu Mei.
"As expected, you were involved as well …" Feng Bujue mumbled.
"Of course," Tu Mei walked over and said coldly, "Aiko The Penguin was in the dark, and I was in the light."
"Detective, you live up to your reputation …" Feng Bujue said, "It must be hard for you to deal with Xiong Ji's cases all the time …"
"It's fine," Tu Mei replied. "After all, I like reporting things to the police."
"Then I'd like to ask you something." Feng Bujue glanced at Tu Mei and then looked at Aiko The Penguin. "Was it Tu Mei Chan or Aiko The Penguin who saw through us and came up with this' test plan '?"
"It's hard to say who saw through you first …" Aiko The Penguin replied. "When Tu Mei Chan came to find me to discuss this problem, we all sensed that something was wrong with you."
"As for the plan … it was something we discussed and came up with together," Tu Mei replied.
"Understood …" Feng Bujue nodded. "Please continue …" He extended his hand and made a "please" gesture, indicating for them to continue.
"Then I'll start from the beginning …" Several seconds later, Aiko The Penguin exchanged a look with Tu Mei and Hirata before he said, "On the day you transferred to our school, Xiong Ji committed the crime as usual. Even though from our perspective, it was nothing out of the ordinary, but … "His gaze swept across Brother Jue and Xiao Tan's faces." … objectively speaking, a crime is a crime. As new transfer students, your reaction to the incident of 'Xiong Ji's arrest' was a bit too calm. You saw your classmate being taken away by the police for his perverted actions, but you didn't even ask anyone about it … That doesn't make sense, does it? "
Aiko The Penguin paused for half a second before continuing. "Of course, I also considered that … since you confidently claimed that you were 'famous detectives' when you introduced yourselves, then there is a possibility that … you are 'already used to committing crimes', which is why you acted so nonchalantly."
"At the time, that was what I thought as well." Tu Mei added, "So … we didn't take any further action."
"However … about an hour later, you reacted very differently from before." Aiko The Penguin continued. "It was as if the two of you suddenly snapped out of it and started to ask about the case. This kind of sudden change in behavior undoubtedly made me feel a bit strange. "
Listening to Aiko The Penguin's description, Wang Tanzhi couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself, 'This is a comic world … There are so many weird characters doing weird things … Even you guys have been doing the same thing … But why are you acting more serious and smart than I am?'
"Then, it was the next day." At this time, Tu Mei took over from Aiko The Penguin and said, "The two of you appeared near Xiang Mei's house again, or rather … the scene of Xiong Ji's peeping incident." She looked at Xiao Tan. "It's not strange for the two of you to appear near the crime scene. After all, our town is not big, and our classmates' houses are all in this area. I happened to pass by and heard the scream, so I rushed over. " She then looked at Brother Jue. "But … you suddenly attacked Xiong Ji and stopped him from confessing. This … is too strange."
"In other words, our attitude toward the two of you changed from 'confusion' to 'suspicion' … because of that scene," Aiko The Penguin said.
Hearing this, even though Feng Bujue did not show it on the surface, he admitted internally, 'Indeed … it was my mistake … Because it was a normal difficulty scenario, and it was a universe that I was familiar with … No, it was a universe that I thought I was familiar with, so I did not think twice before doing certain things.'
"I do not think that all the crazy cases that happened before my eyes were done by Xiong Ji. I have never thought that …" Tu Mei continued her description. "But … with Xiong Ji present, he is more suspicious than anyone else. That is an undeniable fact." She crossed her arms before her chest and continued. "The two of you have known Xiong Ji for less than two days, and … the morning before yesterday, he only met you once before he was taken away by the police. To say that there is some kind of friendship between the two of you is obviously not realistic. " Her eyes fell on Brother Jue's face again. "But you … Mao Tarō, you seem to know him very well. When he was about to expose his crime, you used a very simple and violent method to stop him and voluntarily took the blame for Xiong Ji's crime …"
The penguin assistant added, "If we still don't have the idea of 'investigating' in the face of such a situation, then we can't be called famous detectives."
"That's right." Tu Mei said, "Therefore, later that day, I went to find Aiko The Penguin to discuss the two of you."
"Therefore, the next day … the investigation of the two of you began," Aiko The Penguin said.
"Ha … That harassment letter …" Feng Bujue raised his eyes to look at Aiko The Penguin. "You wrote it, right?"
"Yes." Aiko The Penguin admitted, "I even purposely imitated Xiong Ji's tone and handwriting …" He shook his head. "But … from the actual situation, it does not seem to be necessary."
"Because Xiong Ji has done so many perverted things that even he cannot remember them all, so it is very easy to frame him." Tu Mei added, "After helping him so many times … you should have noticed this by now, right?"
"[Beep — —]! So that's how it is! " Xiao Tan gasped. "No wonder this guy would act like he had no idea what was going on every time he encountered an incident, and not long after, he would calmly expose himself … I thought this guy was just using that kind of behavior to create trouble!"
"This does have something to do with his character setting as well." At that moment, Hirata-kun, who had been silent for a while, spoke again. "In our world, most of the characters … or rather, creatures have characters that are similar to Xiong Ji's character. For example, Matsuo Basa, Prince Shengde, Werewolf Fujita, Naoshi and his son, the manager of the product development department and his subordinates, and so on … They are the main creators of trouble. This group of people … some are chuunibyou, some are cute, some are pretentious, and some are truly idiotic … "His description coincided with Feng Bujue's understanding of this universe." These people will not consider the things that I told you earlier … "At this point, his expression changed slightly." But … there is a group of people like me, Tu Mei, and Aiko The Penguin … other than playing along with 'those people', we will have other ideas … "
