My Prime Minister is so cute

Sarah followed behind Avril. Having been to Central City several times, she was responsible for reminding Avril which way to go, effectively preventing the district chief from leading the entire group lost.

Mary followed behind the two of them, responsible for protecting their safety.

As for the two maids, who were carrying luggage, they followed the three people on the left and right. Their main function was to go silently wherever the leader went.

At the end of the team, Bird walked at the back with a tired look on his face, deeply regretting his momentary weakness.

The original plan was to finish the trip quickly, but with the addition of Avril, the plan underwent some subtle changes, and a plan to buy a house was added. So in the end, they brought two maids and a bunch of luggage, and it became a six-person tour group.

Just now.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers——"

The newsboy's voice rang out beside them: "The latest news is that 'Happy Paradise' is suspected of inciting juvenile delinquency and has been shut down by the court!"

For a station with dense crowds and many outsiders, newspaper sales are very good. Therefore, there are newsboys selling newspapers all day long, even those that have expired and have not been sold.

Bird heard the newsboy's cry and frowned.

Didn’t someone spread rumors that Misabelle sold her dick to herself?

How did it suddenly become that "Happy Paradise" was shut down? Could it be that selling sex toys is illegal... Oh, it seems that in theory it is illegal... No, no, I didn't buy any at all. I just broke the law of prostitution.

Confused, Bird stopped the newsboy, bought a newspaper and asked, "What's going on with Paradise?"

"Oh, sir, do you also watch Paradise?"

The newsboy immediately put on a businesslike smile. "It's nothing, actually. You'll know if you read the newspaper. There was a student who raped his female classmate. When he confessed, he said he saw it while watching 'Happy Paradise'..."

"Are you kidding me?"

Bird frowned and interrupted, "It's obvious that he is a pervert, right?"

"Hehe, actually, I think so too." The newsboy immediately agreed and said, "But the student's parents appealed and asked the court to close down "Happy Paradise"..."

After listening to the newsboy's brief narration.

Bird frowned and picked up the newspaper to read its contents.

Just as the newsboy said, the content of the newspaper was mainly that "Happy Paradise" was suspected of inciting juvenile delinquency. Now the entire editorial office has been sealed off by the police and is currently undergoing a content review.

In addition, there is a detailed report on the criminal, including his detailed confession.

After reading it, Bird frowned.

Are you kidding me?

I was planning to come to the editorial office of "Happy Paradise" to complete an assignment, but after a few days, the editorial office was gone? Where the hell was he supposed to complete the assignment?!

Besides, it's obvious that there's something wrong with it. How could such a coincidence happen?

Bird frowned tightly, subconsciously not wanting to get involved in this mess.

But then he suddenly thought of the two pieces of cloth hidden at the bottom of his wardrobe, which were given to him by the editor-in-chief. He remembered the shy look on her face when she gave them to him...

"Alas, if you accept a gift, you have to do the job."

Bird sighed deeply and said helplessly, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have accepted it. I've really been bewildered."

"Bird, why are you still standing there?"

At this moment, a voice called out from a distance. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw the district chief with long golden hair waving happily at him, "Come here quickly, we're waiting for you!"

Looking at the cute girl with a carefree and smiling face.

In contrast, it seems that the editor-in-chief of the newspaper needs a little help now.

"You guys go to the hotel first."

He waved at Avril and said with a smile, "I still have some things to take care of. I'll come back to you guys later."

Chapter 183 Intelligence

After bidding farewell to Nader's tour group, Bird first came to the original location of the "Happy Paradise" editorial office.

Just as reported in the newspaper, the editorial office of "Happy Paradise" is now deserted and looks a bit desolate and lonely, with only the two eye-catching seals on the door to show its presence.

Shaking his head, Bird walked in another direction.

He had sent Misabel home last time and knew where she lived, so after turning a few corners, he arrived in front of the simple stone house and knocked on the door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

After waiting for a moment, the door creaked open.

The person who appeared in front of me was the editor who I hadn't seen for a long time. She was wearing a light green wool sweater with the sleeves rolled inward into three-quarter sleeves. Her long green hair, which was usually tied into different hairstyles, was now scattered messily behind her.

There seems to be a little redness in the eye sockets, and I’m not sure if it’s just swelling or if I just cried a little not long ago.

Luckily, I was at home.

Bird smiled and extended his hand to say hello: "Long time no see, Miss Misabel."

"Mr. Bird?" Misabel opened her mouth in surprise. "Aren't you going back to Forks? Why are you here?"

She had only written a tentative letter at the time and had never thought that Bird would actually come to Central City.

After all, the relationship between the two is, in the final analysis, nothing more than the relationship between the author and the magazine.

It is too much to expect the author to speak for a magazine, especially for a great writer like Mr. Berthapeare. No matter which magazine he goes to, he will be sought after. There is no need to work hard for a "Happy Paradise".

As for those rumors, they actually have little impact on the pen name Berthabia. The little boy girl is not a big problem. It is purely a personal hobby and it is also a way of playing with the ditch.

As long as Berthabia doesn't dress up as a little boy to play with others, readers won't mind too much.

"After learning about this despicable act of defamation, how could I remain silent?"

Bird said seriously, "That's too much. You actually called me a sissy. I've never suffered such an injustice in my life."

As he spoke, he opened the resignation system panel and began to check the task timer.

The timer had been working properly ever since the door opened and he saw Misabel for the first time. Bird nodded inwardly with satisfaction.

"...Actually, there's no need to worry too much."

Misabel joked, "Rumor has it that you're on the ditch side. People won't mind your little hobby."

In this era, people generally look down on and despise men who are played with their groins; but those who play with their groins are conquerors and winners, and winners are blameless. It is an elegant hobby of the upper class. By the way, cross-dressing men are also...

"I still mind it."

Bird smiled and glanced at her: "It's not convenient to talk while standing. Can we go in and talk?"

"Of course, please come in."

Misabel immediately made way for Bird and closed the door after he came in. Then she quickly walked past Bird and into the kitchen, apparently preparing cookies and black tea to entertain the guests.

Bird didn't stop her, but clicked on the resignation panel again.

The timer was also working properly. It seemed that no matter whether he saw her in person or was in the same room with her, she would be correctly counted in the 1-hour time of the task.

After confirming this, he felt relieved and began to shift his focus to the current events encountered by "Happy Paradise".

Misabel also prepared some crispy cookies and delicious black tea, but Bird preferred coffee, so he just took two sips, put down the teacup in his hand, and got straight to the point.

"I've read all the reports about Paradise in the newspaper."

Bird said slowly, "This is all too coincidental. There's no doubt this isn't a random incident, but a premeditated operation targeting Paradise... I'm not very clear about the Forks area. Do you have any intelligence?"

Although Sarah's influence was raised to (medium), Bird drew a "black material handling card".

However, if possible, he still wanted to try to solve it first and save the "black material processing card". After all, it would be difficult to draw the same item again next time.

"Have you learned that yet?"

Misabel nodded slightly and smiled bitterly, "My judgment is the same as yours, Mr. Bird. Someone is behind this... But I don't know much more about the details than you do."

"I can only infer that the person who fabricated the rumor is also a colleague in the magazine industry."

"Through some people I know at the police station, I learned that the police had no real intention of conducting an investigation and seemed to be planning to shut down the magazine for a while."

Bird listened quietly, and then found that there was no further news.

"Gone?"

He was a little surprised and asked, "That's all?"

Bird originally thought that Misabel should have some information channels after so many years in Central City. Even if she couldn't solve the current incident, she should at least know who was behind the framing of "Happy Paradise".

"Feel sorry."

Misabel lowered her head in shame: "I never had much money before, and it was difficult to just maintain expenses."

Well, that seems to explain it.

After all, information channels cost money. How can a struggling magazine like Chengx have the spare cash to expand its information channels? Unless they sell ditch literature... Ugh, ugh, ugh, I'm also infected by this crappy ditch literature.

Bird snorted twice, pondered for two seconds, and then slowly said, "Actually, not having an information channel doesn't really matter. It just means a slight loss of initiative."

"Why?" Misabel asked.

"We need to understand the other party's purpose."

Bird tapped his head and laughed, "Simply spreading rumors and slandering 'Happy Paradise' can be understood as jealousy among colleagues."

"After all, it's not too expensive to just write a little paper and smear someone. Besides, it's not easy to find out who did it. Without strong information channels, finding this person would be extremely difficult."

"But if you add the ban on Happy Paradise magazine, it becomes a different story."

"Whether it's getting the rapist to change his confession, claiming he was influenced by 'Happy Paradise', or colluding with the court to quickly shut down 'Happy Paradise', the financial resources and influence involved are no small matter."

"With such a huge investment, the mastermind behind this must have some ulterior motive. It's impossible for him to just be joking around. He will reveal himself sooner or later."

Chapter 184 Don’t tell Sarah~

After listening to Bird's analysis, Misabel also fell into thought.

As the editor-in-chief of "Happy Paradise", her skills are more in the areas of art appreciation and literary creation, but she actually doesn't know much about these.

However, Bird's analysis was very clear, and Misabel also understood what he meant.

"Since you came here with a purpose."

She asked tentatively, "Could it be the editor of 'Magic World'? After all, of all the magazines, only 'Magic World' and 'Happy Paradise' have a direct conflict, and 'Magic World' is also very powerful."

Bird couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Misabel questioned, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"If you say that the rumor was spread by 'Magic World', then I believe it."

Bird said slowly, "But if you say that 'Magic World', a magazine that sells fantasy novels, can interfere with the court and police systems in Central City, the capital of this country, and directly send people to shut down 'Happy Paradise'..."

"With all due respect, 'Magic World' doesn't deserve it."

Misabel thought it made sense and asked, "So what should we do now?"

"All we have to do now is wait."

Bird waved his hand. "We must remain constant in the face of change. Wait until the mastermind behind this reveals himself. No matter what their motives are, whether they're trying to covet your money or acquire Paradise, we'll respond accordingly and make plans accordingly."

"As for what you should do most now, it is to calm down."

"The calmer you are, the less likely you are to fall into the other party's trap."

No matter whether Misabelle is anxious or not, Bird has a black material handling card in his hand, so he is not anxious at all.

It would be best if you can handle it yourself when the time comes, but if that doesn’t work, then use the card.

After listening to Bird's detailed analysis, Misabel's originally flustered and worried mood was indeed calmed down a lot. She tidied up her messy hair that had not been taken care of since she got up, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher Bird helped me again," she said.

"Haha, it's nothing."

Bird waved his hand: "There's nothing else to do, so I'll leave today..."

Just as he was about to say that he was leaving, he suddenly realized something, opened his eyes, opened the resignation system panel and took a look.

【Today's time together - 00:20:13】

The task requires them to spend one hour together every day for 1 days, but the two have only spent 30 minutes since they met, which is 20 minutes short of the daily one hour. In other words, if they leave now, it would be like wasting a day.

Bird stopped talking immediately, and as soon as he was about to leave, he slowly sat back on the sofa...

Damn it, I accidentally analyzed it too quickly and forgot the time.

Now I have to think of a way to make those 40 minutes go by...
