"The kind you can drink one cup at a time?"

"How is that possible? That's impossible..."

"Forget it, Zhenchun, just drink my cup and give me your Americano."

Serabelle put down the cappuccino she had just taken a sip of, reached out and pushed the cup and saucer over, and when she took her hand back, she took the iced American coffee from Sera Masumi.

Take a sip, and the taste is just bitter, it's hard to even taste the coffee, it feels like drinking a cup of bitter water made from wood ash.

"How is it? Does it taste bad?" Sera Masumi felt a little sorry.

"It's not bad." Serabelle smacked her lips.

He has drunk a lot of things that tasted much worse than this, and by comparison, American coffee is still considered acceptable among drinks.

Now that things have come to this, it would be too hypocritical to refuse any further, so Sera Masumi said nothing more, took a sip of cappuccino, and immediately a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

"Hmm, this one is good! This one is good..."

"I want to order some coffee, didn't you hear me!!!"

Before he finished speaking, an extremely angry female voice suddenly rang out in the coffee shop. The voice was so loud and deafening that it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store.

Masumi Sera was still immersed in the beauty of her cappuccino when she was startled a little unexpectedly, and a little coffee in her hand spilled out.

Following the sound, I saw that the person who was yelling at the clerk was a young woman with sunglasses and a mean face, while the clerk who was being scolded looked aggrieved and scared.

"What's going on with that fierce old lady?" Sera Masumi frowned slightly.

Although this cafe's business is quite good, it does not have many employees. For all the customers here, the waitress is the only one responsible for taking orders.

Everyone had no problem, but she had a problem. Those who understand will understand.

"Forget it, don't worry about her."

Serabelle, who knew the whole process of what happened, spoke up to draw the tiger-toothed girl's attention back.

"Regarding the matter of being a detective that Sister Mary mentioned, I currently have a plan that can be implemented. One is slower in effect but relatively reliable, and the other is faster in effect but has more stringent prerequisites."

"Well, for example?"

"The former is to print a lot of posters and post them everywhere. The advantage of this method is that it can be done immediately and in real time, but the disadvantage is that it can only win by quantity, and even if you can get orders in the early stage, it is nothing more than helping to find cats and dogs."

"That's true. After all, if it's a little-known detective, it's unlikely that others would trust him with a serious case." Sera Masumi pinched his chin and nodded in agreement, and asked, "What's the second plan?"

"The second option -"

Serabelle had just finished speaking when someone else walked into the cafe.

He was a handsome young man with long flowing hair. After entering the store and talking to the clerk for a few words, he found an empty seat and sat down, then answered the phone and started chatting.

"Hello, hello, this is Prince Ruo... What? It's you, Liangnan... I have an appointment with a girl today, please don't disturb me... Hmm? Who are they? They are the girls who were internships at the TV station last time. One of them is pretty good-looking. There are not many girls who are so naive nowadays. Women are emotional animals. If you just say a few sweet words to her, it will be easy to get her, right? Hahahaha!"

After saying this, he started laughing loudly as if no one was around, causing people around him to look at him sideways.

"What a piece of shit this guy is." The girl with tiger teeth clenched her fists upon hearing this.

Serabelle: “…”

"Oh, my, my," Bernie-chan continued. "What did you just say? What's the second plan?"

Realizing that his attention had once again been distracted far away, Sera Masumi quickly clasped his hands together in apology.

Of course, Serabelle wouldn't bother with such a small matter, so she coughed lightly.

"The second option is to stumble upon a murder scene and solve the case in public. This way, it should only take a few times to establish your reputation, but the disadvantages of this method are also obvious."

"This is too much of a matter of luck. It's not like the traffic police is issuing tickets. How is it possible that I would meet one just walking on the road?" Sera Masumi couldn't help but complain.

“So it would be nice if a case could happen right now.”

“…Don’t say such horrible things so calmly!”

After a while, the sound of phone calls in the cafe finally stopped.

The long-haired scumbag who had previously openly talked about the "secrets of hunting women" tied up his hair with a headband and stood up leisurely from the booth. He asked the cafe owner behind the counter at the door about the location of the restroom and only turned and walked towards the toilet after getting the answer "It is for both men and women".

Open the door, enter and close the door, all in one go.

Two seconds later, a scream filled with complete terror came from inside the door.

“There’s blood!!!”

Upon hearing this, Serabelle, who had been sitting in the booth as still as a mountain a moment ago, suddenly put down her cup and stood up, her eyes shining on her calm face.

"Great, where is it?"

Chapter 7 There is an old Chinese saying...

There is a saying in China, "Xixiwuzhe...

No, it’s not that sentence. It should be “Cao Cao Cao will arrive as soon as he sees it”, so Cao Cao is also known as the fastest man in the world.

Just now, Serabelle seemed to have mastered a similar power of law.

In the last second, you were still saying that it would be great if a crime happened, and in the next second, a crime really happened.

Perfect Konbo.

Sera Masumi's reaction was extremely fast. She realized something was wrong the moment the scream came. While others in the cafe were still stunned, they had already stood up and turned to look towards the bathroom.

At the same time, Serabelle passed by her, and it was as if Miss Fortune had activated her full-level W and was striding straight to the bathroom.

However, some people are faster.

That was Conan, the little boy with glasses who was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window of a coffee shop near the street, leaning on a unicorn JK and shouting that he wanted to see Brother Shinichi.

He jumped down from his seat, and ran towards the bathroom with his short legs. He was actually ahead of Serabelle in terms of distance.

Well...if Serabelle heard the words of the auntie at the market who offered free eggs as long as you attended the lecture, then the version the former heard would probably have to add a few more words.

——The top three players will receive double rewards.

But it turned out that running fast was useless, because just as he was about to reach the bathroom door and press down the door handle with his hand, a hand wearing a white disposable glove reached out from behind and grabbed the back of Destiny's neck.

Lift your feet off the ground gently.

"Everyone please wait outside for a while. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."

Serabelle held up her collar with one hand, her tone was calm but unquestionable, and she exuded the unique sharp aura of an executive department member, which startled the others who came behind her. They stopped and nodded at the same time.

"Keep an eye on this kid. There should be a high school girl with him whose hairstyle looks like a unicorn. She's his sister. Hand her over to her when she shows up."

Casually handing Conan to a tall and strong but honest man at the back, Serabell took out shoe covers from her body and put them on her feet. After all the preparations were completed, she pressed the door handle.

squeak--

The bathroom door was gently pushed open, and a strong smell of blood hit the face. The first person to appear behind the door was a handsome man with long hair who called himself Prince Ruo.

However, compared to the moment when he first entered the coffee shop, when it seemed as if an aura was spreading around him as he talked and laughed, and all the female creatures looked at him with love in their eyes, he had completely lost that rebelliousness at this moment. He just slumped to the ground, his face pale and covered with cold sweat, and he stretched out his right index finger and pointed forward, tremblingly, and even spoke incoherently.

"Blood, it's blood..."

Since it is a mixed-use restroom for men and women, the restroom is a standard public women's restroom style, with three cubicles from right to left, separated by walls and doors made of synthetic wood boards in the middle to block the view.

Looking in the direction the long-haired man pointed, I saw a pool of blood spreading out from under the door of the farthest compartment.

"Such a large amount of bleeding..."

Serabelle muttered something in a low voice, walked over again, came to the door, and tried to push the door handle from the outside.

The door handle was pushed in, but the door didn't move; it was blocked from the inside.

After a little thought, he grabbed the upper edge of the isolation door with one hand, jumped lightly and pulled himself up.

Looking through the gap between the isolation wall and the ceiling, the hellish scene in the compartment below came into view.

"Wow~" Serabelle whistled.

I saw the woman in sunglasses who had been making a scene with the waiter in the hall outside was now lying in a pool of blood, her back hunched like a shrimp against the door. A blood-stained dagger and other personal belongings fell beside her. The large amount of blood was gushing out from her pierced heart. Her eyes were wide open with an angry look on her face as if she was unwilling to die.

The window behind the toilet facing the green belt was open and swaying slightly in the wind.

It’s dead, my friend.

There was no fluctuation in Serabel's heart, but when he was about to retract his head, he inadvertently turned his head and found that there was another person hanging on the upper edge of the wall, staring attentively below. That little figure looked quite familiar.

"…Hey, what's your name?"

"Edogawa Conan."

Answered in a milky voice.

"Okay, then, little Edogawa, have your parents ever told you that you shouldn't just go and join in when you see the police investigating a case?"

"Big brother, are you a policeman?"

Ok……

Serabelle was speechless for a moment.

He was used to the way people would stay away as long as he showed his ID in the UK, but now he was in Japan, and the MI6 ID was probably useless and might even cause some unnecessary trouble.

Maybe this is what the legendary "everything is difficult at the beginning" means.

After a moment's silence, Serabell let go and jumped back, pulling down Conan who was still clinging to the door frame to watch the peep show.

He landed steadily on the ground avoiding the blood. As soon as he turned around, he saw the burly man who had been entrusted to look after a kid with glasses at the door also stepped in, scratching the back of his head embarrassedly.

"Sorry, little man. I just went to talk to the boss, but when I turned around, I found that the child was gone."

"Forget it, it's okay."

"Oh yes, yes, what happened in there? I think I saw... uh, is that blood?"

"It's blood, so call the police quickly."

Serabelle shrugged and released the burden in her hand.

"Someone died in the toilet."

"Wha... I understand!"

Upon hearing that someone actually broke in, the sturdy man didn't dare to delay any longer. He turned around and left the bathroom to call the police.

As soon as Serabelle returned to the booth, the girl with tiger teeth, who was unable to enter the crime scene due to lack of gloves and shoe covers, immediately came over.

"What's going on? I heard someone was really killed?"

"It's true, and the death was extremely tragic."

"What should we do now?" Sera Masumi made faces and hinted wildly.

Serabelle ignored her hint and took a sip of her iced Americano.

"What else can we do? Let's wait for the police to come. We still have to go through the necessary procedures."

In fact, he hadn't said half a sentence yet, which was to examine the ability of the Japanese police and see if they were really as incompetent as Sister Mary said.

……

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sent people quite quickly.

Ten minutes later, with the sound of sirens whistling from afar, a Metropolitan Police Department vehicle that was obviously slightly different from an ordinary patrol car stopped at the door of the cafe, followed closely by another police vehicle similar to an SUV.

A middle-aged male police captain with a belly as round as his face, wearing a round hat and a brown windbreaker, got out of the car. He was followed by several other police officers, who were carrying various records and sampling materials in their hands, and began to collect evidence and explore the scene.

Serabelle sat in the booth the whole time, drinking coffee and watching the police officers busy at work.

Okay.

This is his assessment.

At least so far, the professionalism displayed by these Japanese police is worthy of their police uniforms.

The fat police captain who seemed to be the person in charge went in and came out after a while. He came to the hall and looked around.

"I'm Megure from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. May I ask who was the first person to discover the body?"

"it's me."

Serabelle stood up calmly.

"Who are you?" Inspector Megure turned his gaze following the tone of the voice and asked straight in the eye.
