I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

"The results of it?"

"Results? How can there be any results? I asked a detective for help before, but there was no news for three consecutive days. That's why I came here on my own!"

The woman said this through gritted teeth, looking very angry.

"Huh? Why does this voice sound so familiar..."

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing by, stroked his chin and carefully recalled what the woman had just said. Why did it feel so familiar to him?

(Haha~ I’m talking about you…)

Xi'er looked at Maori Kogoro speechlessly. This guy could go to a place like a tavern during the day, so he must have received a commission. And if nothing unexpected happened, it was this woman's commission. However, it should have been communicated over the phone. After all, Uncle Maori did not recognize his client, so he probably had never met her...

"Ah! I remember now! You are the lady from that day!"

Suddenly Maori Kogoro shouted, pointed at the woman and said: "You are the one who asked me to find your husband!"

"Eh!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Maori Kogoro and said with sudden realization: "You are the stupid detective!"

"Yes! Yes! I am Mori... No! I am not a confused detective!"

Mao Li pulled his collar and was about to say his name, but when he heard the woman's words he immediately denied it.

"Aren't you a confused detective? I've entrusted you with the task for three days! And there's no news!"

"Three days?"

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment. He counted on his fingers and said, "That's not right! It's clearly 2 days. I just received the commission yesterday."

"?"

"?"

Maori and the woman looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

(Oh no, a contradiction has occurred.)

Xier looked at the two deceived people and thought: There was a mistake in the testimony, which means that one of the two people was lying, but Uncle Maori was so stupid, and he didn't come to the pub to drink yesterday, so his words should be true, so she was lying?

Xier carefully observed the woman's expression, but after looking for a long time, she didn't find anything unusual.

"That's strange. It looks like he didn't lie..."

After thoroughly observing the woman's micro-expressions, Xier found that she did not seem to be lying.

"Hey! What's going on?" Xier was stunned. If both of them were not lying, then what was going on?

"This..." Xi'er thought hard but couldn't come up with anything... It seems that the great detective Sherlock Holmes will retire before his debut...

"Okay...give up, give up..."

Xier finally gave up on relying on her own brain to figure out the answer to the case. She was more accustomed to just rushing in. This kind of mental activity was really not her forte.

Although Xier gave up using her brain, she did not give up the idea of ​​catching the murderer. After all, this kind of person is too bad.

"Ok!"

Xier turned her head suddenly. She felt a similar gaze as before, a cold gaze like a poisonous snake.

"How could it be! The murderer is someone else!"

Xier looked at the three suspects again, and her gaze was not coming from them.

Slowly turning her head, Xier's eyes moved to a building opposite the tavern. The gaze just now came from there.

------------------

"Brother! That woman seems to have discovered us!"

Vodka put down the telescope in surprise and said to Gin beside him.

"Hmph... don't worry about it."

Gin pressed the cigarette butt hard on the edge of the tall building.

"Have you confirmed the target?"

He said in a grim tone, staring fiercely at the three people below.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it was him. It was definitely Ortega. I didn't expect that he wasn't involved in the explosion..."

After hearing what Gin said, Vodka put aside his doubts and started observing again.

"Chianti, are you ready?" Gin said into the headset.

"OK!"

A reply came from the headset.

"Very good, kill him." Gin sneered and gave the order.

"Wait! That little girl is blocking my trajectory!" Chianti suddenly shouted, "What should I do, Gin? Should I just shoot?"

"Hmph!" Gin thought for a moment, then gave a cold order: "Shoot!"

"biu!"

A burst of flames burst out from the muzzle of the sniper rifle equipped with a silencer, and the bullet was fired out of the muzzle in a rotation. Although the power was greatly reduced due to the silencer, Chianti was a seasoned sniper and she knew that the bullet had hit the target.

The next moment after firing the shot, Chianti quickly cleaned up her sniper position. Although they dared to kill people in broad daylight, they were also worried about being chased by the police, so they could not leave anything behind.

Just as Chianti packed up and prepared to evacuate, Gin's cold voice sounded again from the headphones.

"Chianti! Why didn't you shoot?"

"what?"

Chianti was stunned. What was Gin talking about? Why didn't he shoot? That shot clearly hit the target... Wait! That's not right!

Only then did Chianti realize that he did not hear the chaotic sound below. Could it be that his shot missed the target?

She hurried to the wall, took out a telescope and looked down. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but this look almost scared Chianti to death.

The little girl who had blocked her sniper path just now smiled and looked in her direction, stretched out one hand, and moved her lips up and down as if she was saying something. Chianti, who could read lips, was scared to death by this sentence.

"Miss! Is this the bullet you dropped?"

Chapter 5: Gin's Misery

After feeling that cold gaze, Xier looked up at the tall building not far behind her. It was a relatively independent small building, only about 7 or stories high, but the surrounding view was very wide, and the most important thing was that there were two people in black clothes on it.

(Eh? He's wearing black clothes and sunglasses, and he's secretly looking at me. Wow, it's obvious that he's not a good person...)

Xier looked at the frightened fat man and thought silently, after all, no good person would wear sunglasses and look through a telescope in broad daylight, how could he see anything...

Xier saw that the man above seemed to be frightened by her, and quickly put down the telescope and said something to another man next to him. However, due to the distance, Xier did not hear what they said, but Xier didn't care.

"Ok?"

However, just when Xier was about to turn around and ignore them, that cold gaze appeared again, and this time the target was herself?

This made Xier feel angry and amused. It was really ridiculous. She didn't provoke them at all, but trouble still came to her.

Xier turned her head and looked to the other side of the small building. An object that flashed from time to time in the sun was pointing at her. No, was she looking behind her?

Xier glanced behind him. Was it the tall and thin man? Was the other party's malice directed at him?

However, they wanted to kill people under her nose. The other party looked down on her as a Valkyrie. Xier suddenly decided to teach these guys a lesson, but what should she do?

Xier glanced at the woman who looked like a sniper. That's it...

When Xier thought of the woman's expression afterwards, she couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out that her happiness was built on the pain of others.

So Xier thought so and quietly waited for the opponent's attack.

"puff"

Sure enough, not long after, a barely detectable sound was heard from Xier's side, and a bullet flew straight towards Xier and the man. If nothing unexpected happened, Xier and the man would be shot through together.

However, it was just a small bullet. If it was the boss lady's bullet, Xier would have wanted to dodge it. But this ordinary bullet was as powerless to Xier as a ball of paper thrown by a child.

Xier simply raised her hand and placed it in front of the bullet's trajectory. She didn't even need to wrap herself with energy. The bullet, which was powerful enough to penetrate several millimeters of steel plate, hit Xier's hand. In the very short period of contact, the bullet was squeezed and deformed, and finally turned into a small discus under its own kinetic energy. There was not even a red mark on Xier's hand, as if she had caught a feather easily.

The woman seemed to be very confident in her skills. After firing the gun, she turned and left the wall without even looking back. This made Xier feel a little disappointed. She wanted to see the woman's expression.

But just when Xier was thinking this, the woman suddenly returned to the wall and looked towards Xier.

Smiling at the woman who was looking at her, Xier waved her hand and said, "Miss, is this the bullet you dropped?"

Then Xier saw the scene she wanted to see the most. The woman stared at Xier blankly for about a second, and the telescope in her hand slipped unconsciously until it fell to the ground, waking the woman up. Then the woman rubbed her eyes stupidly. After confirming that Xier really saw this side, an extremely incredible expression appeared on her face, as if she had seen some creature that could not possibly appear in the world.

----------------------

"Gin-gin-gin...Gin!"

Chianti called Gin's name stupidly several times, muttering, "I didn't see it wrong, that woman did look at me and talk, right?"

"What are you talking about? Chianti?"

Gin frowned and looked at Chianti and asked, "What do you mean?"

Because of the angle, Gin couldn't see Seele's lip movements, so naturally he didn't know what Seele said, but he knew from Seele's expression that Seele had discovered them.

But Gin was not surprised. There are always some people in the world who have strong abilities in certain aspects. At this distance, Gin himself can see it. But what happened next completely broke Gin's calmness.

Seele looked in the direction of Gin, silently made a seal with her hands, and uttered a sound that ordinary people could not utter. Then her figure disappeared, but the strange thing was that the people around her, even the people standing next to Seele, could not notice that there was one less person beside them.

'Whoosh.'

A blue shadow flashed on the platform in front of Gin, and the next moment, Seele in a blue dress appeared in front of him and Vodka.

"Yo hoo!"

Xier greeted with a smile, and her smile was as bright as the sunshine that melted the snowflakes in winter, but the same smile, in the eyes of Gin and Vodka, seemed like a cold wind from hell.

"Big big big big brother!! She she she she!! She's coming up!!!"

Vodka was so scared that his sunglasses fell off. He raised his finger, pointed at Xier with trembling hands and shouted loudly.

"idiot!"

Gin cursed Vodka coldly. In fact, he was also shocked by this weird phenomenon, but his good qualities as a killer forced him to maintain his sanity and not let himself be frightened like Vodka. He quickly took out his pistol from his arms, aimed at Xier, and fired without saying a word.

"boom!"

A gunshot was heard, and then nothing happened. Except for a little flash of fire from the muzzle, everything was unchanged, as if Gin had never fired the gun.

"!"

Gin finally showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly suppressed it. He took back the gun coldly, and then he was surprised to find that the bullet he had just shot was now quietly hovering at the position where the muzzle of his gun was originally, like a decoration on a shelf...

"Isn't it a bit rude to shoot someone when you don't agree with them?"

Xier smiled and snapped her fingers, and then the bullet that was suspended in the air fell to the ground with a clang. The sound was very crisp, but this crisp sound hit Gin and Vodka hard in the hearts.

The two knew that all this was Xier's doing.

"call……"

Gin took a long puff of smoke, then spit out the cigarette butt that had long been burned out, and said coldly: "What do you want, sir?"

"How about it?"

Xier showed a distressed look, and said while thinking: "I didn't mean anything. I just felt very uncomfortable that someone was pointing a gun at us."

"..." Gin looked at Xier quietly without saying anything. Xier didn't care and continued, "I don't have any hobbies. I just want to live a quiet life. But there will always be some unhappy things in life. What should I do when I encounter unhappy things..."

Xier smiled widely and said:

"I'll show you what it's like next!"

Chapter 6 Night

"Oh? Miss Xi'er?"

Kogoro Mouri, who had just finished talking with Inspector Megure, asked as he looked at Noelle who was slowly walking towards them. He had just noticed that Miss Noelle had disappeared for a while.

"Nothing, I just went to deal with some things, it's nothing to mention."

Xier said with a smile as she straightened her wrinkled dress.
