Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

Miwako Sato stammered as she spoke.

My gaze drifted quietly to the night view outside the window.

Two hands secretly clenched the clothes behind her back.

"what?"

Gu De glanced at Sato Miwako with a puzzled look and found that she had completely lost her usual heroic spirit.

Instead, she looked shy!

"I think it's a bit inappropriate to go to a pub right now."

Miwako Sato felt that her voice was already very soft.

after all.

This is the first time I've asked a man out.

And the other party is Goo De!

"Why can't we go? Is there something more important?"

"Or is it inconvenient?"

Her expression made Gu De understand what she meant, but he didn't say anything, just smiled at Sato Miwako.

"I......"

"I'm not...I'm not ready yet..."

Miwako Sato mumbled incoherently, turning her head away and avoiding looking at Gu De.

"Alright then, let's find a place nearby to rest."

Gu De shrugged.

Let's take a break!

Miwako Sato was instantly furious.

They even skipped the steps of drinking alcohol?

Should we go straight to the hotel?

Is Goo De really that direct?

"I......"

"Puff~"

Sato Miwako plopped down on the bed, her mind a jumbled mess, completely at a loss for words.

I could only feel my heart pounding wildly.

“Miwako, if you have nothing to do, you should go to the tavern first.”

Gu De walked over and slowly put his hand on Sato Miwako's shoulder.

Looking down at Sato Miwako from this angle, she completely lacked her usual heroic spirit and decisiveness.

It's more like preparing to savor a delicious meal.

"Ok?"

Miwako Sato slowly raised her head.

"Didn't I just say that Dongtian was definitely not in a state of consciousness at the time?"

"He was either drunk or under the influence of drugs."

"He's probably drunk, so we need to check out the nearby pubs."

Is there a problem?

Gu De asked with a smile.

Sato Miwako was shocked.

"So that's what you meant... you went to investigate a case..."

"Yes, yes, I meant I was going to investigate a case, just now..."

What I was thinking just now was...

Miwako Sato wanted to say something, but her mind was a complete mess.

"Alright, let's go to the tavern first."

"We'll talk about other things later."

Gu De reached out and helped Sato Miwako up.

The other person didn't react at all, just blushed and got up with their head down, completely unaware that Gu De had mentioned other things.

Inside the tavern.

"I just asked the landlady, and Dongtian did come here, and the timing matches!"

Gu De sat down opposite Sato Miwako with a smile.

The lights inside the tavern were dim, and Gooder...

"Oh? Is that so?"

"That's...that's great!"

Sato Miwako then came to her senses.

While he was spacing out and lost in thought, Gu De had already found a clue!

As expected of Mr. Goo De!

Completely focused on the case, I had no other random thoughts!

As a professional criminal investigator, my performance was absolutely terrible!

"That's great!"

After excitedly finishing her explanation, Sato Miwako suddenly thought of another question.

"But... if it's just Dongtian coming here drunk, then there's nothing we can do..."

"The man who came with Higashida was a man with a mustache. The proprietress said that man was Kitagawa!"

Gu De said slowly and deliberately.

Sato Miwako opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Did Gu De actually investigate everything thoroughly?

"Then, the next step is to look for nearby stores and see if there are any clues as to whether Hojo bought bed sheets or other household items."

"But that's definitely not going to work now, the shops must all be closed!"

Gu De stretched comfortably.

Then, he said something that sent a chill down Sato Miwako's spine.

"Miwako, now we should discuss tonight's arrangements."

What are the plans for tonight?

Sato Miwako immediately gripped her clothes tightly.

"Shall we grab something to eat later and then find a place to rest?"

Gu De smiled at Sato Miwako: "You don't look too well. Would you like me to comb your hair for you later?"

"I'm quite skilled in this area."

Seeing that Sato Miwako had her head down, Gu De got up and sat down next to her.

"."Miwako? "

"what?"

Did you hear what I said?

"I......"

Sato Miwako was panicked.

For some reason, Gu De always had a strange feeling when he touched himself.

It seems I really like it!

Moreover, this feeling seems to come from the subconscious.

But why is that?

Could it be that I like Goo De that much?

"Don't worry, let's stay at the hotel next door tonight."

Seeing that Sato Miwako did not refuse, Gu De patted the back of Sato Miwako's hand.

...

hotel room.

What's wrong with me?

Sato Miwako looked at Gu De sitting on the bed, still struggling with her inner turmoil.

Even though I know it's not a good idea, I just can't refuse.

Just now at the hotel front desk, when Gu De mentioned a room, I just lowered my head and acquiesced!

I've never been with a man like this before!

not to mention.

Miwako Sato already knew what was going to happen next!

Gu De was holding a bottle of essential oil in his hand.

"Miwako, go take a shower first."
