Like the sound of a joint dislocating.

Padu slumped at her original seat on the table, and a ball of soul substance that looked like mochi emerged from the corner of the girl's mouth.

"......"

"Sorry, I used too much force and didn't pay attention. I'll put it back for you."

Fu Hua gave Xia Yuan an apologetic look, but Xia Yuan felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the person his partner was apologizing to. Perhaps in Hua's eyes, Padofils had already been labeled a repeat offender.

This brown-haired girl has been a frequent visitor to the Tianming Police Station since she was a child.

I don't know how many times I've been in there.

Every time I was arrested for theft...

For example, they would steal some unwanted bread or some strange things, and they would refuse to change their ways despite repeated warnings. However, because the other party was underage and there were no valuable items among the stolen items, they were quickly released.

But after a few days, he would be sent back again.

In her own words, with free food, accommodation and meals, life here in Tianming is much more comfortable than where she lives, and she has even gained a few pounds.

For this reason, Theresa had a lot of headaches about this problem child, but as a senior executive of Tianming, she casually threw the task of educating and rectifying the problem child to her good friend and subordinate: Jizi.

"Oh, oh, oh, it hurts... Be gentle, be gentle, it's going to break, it's really going to break!"

Padovich, her shoulder back on track, woke up from her seat.

She desperately hoped that what had just happened was just a dream, but the two uninvited people around her made little Padu feel the cruelty of reality.

"Oh, this god of death, ahem... Mr. Detective, please let me go.

“I have explained everything that needs to be explained.

“Confessions and transcripts…I don’t know how many times the Tianming Police Department interrogated me.

"I really didn't steal the jewels. Why would a famous person like you bother with a little girl like me who wanders the streets all day and doesn't even have a hut?"

Padufils clasped her hands together and begged the other party to let her go.

But she never dared to look into Xia Yuan's deep blue eyes like a falcon. She was afraid that she would expose her true purpose of appearing on this train and might not be able to hide it from this famous detective.

"Oh, the God of Death, huh~~~

"It seems that I am unexpectedly popular? So I have another title?"

Xia Yuan naturally noticed that the girl's eyes were avoiding him, but he still responded to Padua Felice with a smile.

Chapter 224 I'm Actually Very Kind~

Xia Yuan was very clear in his mind.

The brown-haired girl in front of him was hiding something from him, and she didn't want him to know more.

"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Detective, I didn't say anything bad about you. The name of the Grim Reaper was given to you privately by others. You can't blame me!"

"Oh?

"What did they say? Just speak up. You see, I'm actually a very kind person."

Xia Yuan did not ask Padua Felice about the jewelry theft case. Instead, he started a conversation with the girl in front of him about his identity as a detective.

"Huh? So kind! I think even a nuclear bomb is friendlier than you!"

Padufils muttered to herself.

But Xia Yuan had very good hearing, so he could hear the other party's whisper clearly. However, he was not angry. Instead, he looked at Padufils with a smile on his face, waiting for her next answer.

"Cough cough..."

Padua Felice organized her words.

"You asked me to say this, so you can't blame me for what I say."

"I swear on my honor."

Xia Yuan raised his right hand and assured Padufils.

"It's rumored everywhere that wherever the famous Mr. Sherlock Yuan goes, there will be murders and deaths."

Padufils seemed to feel a chill and protected her body with her hands.

"Any group of people you meet by chance, Mr. Detective, as long as there is some kind of conflict or quarrel among them, they will definitely die in a very strange murder before long, and the murderer will definitely be among them.

“All these signs are pointing to one thing.

"That is, you absolutely must not have any disputes around you, Detective. You must be calm and composed. Otherwise, even if you lose consciousness, you won't understand how you died."

Padufils lowered her voice, as if she was telling some horror story.

"Haha, Padu, it seems that none of the things you said have any scientific basis.

"It's not that mysterious. If your story gets passed on, and it gets spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, then if it keeps going like this, won't I become known as the cursed famous detective... and everyone will avoid me?"

Xia Yuan smiled gently.

"What? These are all based on facts!"

Padova seemed to be in high spirits.

She wanted to show her theory and strong evidence to the other party.

Fu Hua slowly took the hand that was pressing on Padua Felice. She had just seen with her own eyes that her partner only needed a few words to make the other party relax his guard and eliminate his vigilance against the two of them.

"As expected of Mr. Sherlock..."

Padua Felice placed the kitten-like backpack on the side near the corner of the car window, where Xia Yuan and Fu Hua could not see it, and took out pieces of newspapers that had been cut and preserved in archival paper.

Each piece of tabloid represents a case that Xia Yuan has handled and solved.

Padua Felice arranged them neatly in chronological order, and the girl introduced to Xia Yuan the victims of each case and the interpersonal relationships between the victims as if she knew them all.

Some of the cases were so old that even Xia Yuan himself was almost forgetting them.

Xia Yuan had not expected that the girl in front of him would know more than he did, listening to Padua Felice listing the connections between the victims of the cases one by one.

At this moment, the girl had completely lost her previous vigilance and became much more relaxed.

"Oh? I can't tell, Padu, you're still my little detective fan?"

"Hmph, stop being so conceited, Mr. Nuclear Bomb, I'm not your detective fan!

"Every time you go to the bar to drink, those drunk uncles will discuss the cases you have investigated all day long. I have heard them since I was a child... They never get tired of them. My ears are almost callused from listening to them."

Padufils rubbed her ears symbolically.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes hidden under the hood became bright as if she had discovered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make herself a small wealthy woman.

"Ahem... As expected of you, you are the legendary detective.

"You discovered my identity as your number one fan so quickly. So, Mr. Sherlock, I think you will not refuse to sign an autograph for your number one fan, right?"

Padua Felice very respectfully presented the prepared ballpoint pen and a pile of neatly arranged newspaper scraps to Xia Yuan, her eyes revealing great desire and passion.

Xia Yuan just smiled without saying anything, silently picked up the pen and wrote his signature on the newspaper.

When Xia Yuan finished signing the top newspaper, he suddenly asked Paduo:

"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.
