Owl Detective

The picture froze on the invitation letter, and when it focused again, the figure behind the table gradually became clear, reflecting the depressed face of the young detective.

The narrator's tone is meaningful:

"The conversation that night ended unpleasantly between the princess and the detective."

"The detective, who is always elusive, was not there at all, so naturally he had no idea what kind of dispute he had caused."

"The princess will not give up easily what she wants, so she invited this pair again."

[Good, so persistent. ]

[Although the owl can't do anything to her (scratching head), as a princess, what can't be obtained easily? Does she have to steal others' things? ]

[Well, maybe it’s because Mr. Detective is so famous, and since it’s an untamed owl, it looks particularly cool.]

[Damn it, that's a bit too much! I should have given up on it after being rejected once! ]

A while later, inside the Owl Police Station.

"Oh! My great detective!"

Today, the boss with a mustache seemed particularly excited. When he heard the doorbell ring, he was eager to lower his posture and take the initiative to welcome William who came in. He kept patting the young man's hand and said in an excited tone: "I knew you were a good boy who knew how to repay kindness. Even if you have come into contact with that group of adults, you still remember the old place where you were trained!"

When the princess invited William to meet again, perhaps out of courtesy or perhaps to cover up, she also invited several inspectors from the Owl Police to visit the Tower of London, ostensibly to let them see the royal guard deployment of the castle, learn and make suggestions.

This was like pie in the sky for the small police station in the East District.

Not only can this be used as a bargaining chip to greatly publicize the strength of the police station, but it also gives you the opportunity to come into contact with the powerful people in the castle. This is really great!

Now, William knew that he couldn't refuse with work as an excuse, so he could only smile bitterly: "...Alas, actually I knew nothing about the princess' invitation, and I just took advantage of Mr. Owl's influence."

God knows how complicated his mood was when he woke up and saw the invitation letter delivered by someone at the door.

Unfortunately, his boss had no idea how miserable he was.

"Oh! Of course, the final one is that gentleman!" Reminded by William's words, the boss with a mustache quickly added in an impassioned tone, "That detective is the most outstanding detective of this century. The entire East District will remember what he did!"

After realizing the owl's special identity after the castle mystery, the mustached boss only had the most basic respect for the owl. However, as the owl's fame grew and the Owl Police Station also rose, he began to regard the owl as a sacred bird of the police station and praised it with true feelings.

This time it was an even bigger surprise, it was actually an invitation from the royal family.

"Rest well and prepare well."

With a wave of his hand, he allocated another bonus to William, calling it "social expenses", and told William not to worry about the night patrols in the next few days, and just concentrate on being a detective and preparing for appointments.

William: ...

Oh, he just knew it.

William returned home distressed, holding the invitation letter and waving it in front of the owl. Looking into the great detective's round eyes, he expected the other party to refuse for the first time.

"Coo."

And the eagle owl did hesitate.

But just as the detective's eyes lit up slightly, it still took the invitation and put it on the table to play with it.

This behavior means agreement.

"Ah..." Seeing this, William sighed deeply, "I really hope you can refuse it straightforwardly."

Even if he is the one who has to bear the pressure of rejecting the royal invitation, at least he doesn't have to worry about how to politely reject the princess who is interested in the detective.

Right now, the biggest difficulty William faces in his preparations is how to politely ask Her Royal Highness Elizabeth to give up her obsession with owls.

William was so obsessed with this matter that he almost forgot that today was the weekly supplies purchasing session. He almost missed the market and could only make purchases during the last hour before the market closed.

"Huh? It's Officer William. Good afternoon."

He met Lucy again in a familiar place.

"You look a little unhappy. Did something happen?" The girl was keenly aware of William's emotions and asked curiously, "Is it related to Mr. Owl?"

After receiving the acknowledgement, Lucy's expression suddenly became serious.

"Is it actually about that gentleman? Officer, please make sure you handle it properly!"

"I will, Lucy, I've been thinking hard today."

"Well, a person's ability to think is limited, just like the philosophy I just learned... Well, I can't remember it for the moment. Anyway, officer, do you need my help?"

“Hahaha, no need for that. This isn’t something a child like you can get involved in…hiss.”

As soon as William said this, his scalp tingled subconsciously, and he instantly thought of the awkward conversation before. On the contrary, Lucy had no impression of this and gave a completely different response from before -

"Okay, okay, you adults do have some connections of your own." The girl sighed in a deep voice, and when William was amused by her expression and relaxed, she made an invitation generously, "But my mother is also an adult, and there is a guest at home today. Do you want to discuss it with them?"

William smiled, he bent down and rubbed Lucy's head: "You have become more lovely, Lucy."

Finally, he accepted Lucy's invitation.

Lucy's mother was a woman with unique ideas. Maybe he could learn some skills to communicate with the princess from her.

When William arrived at Lucy's house and found out that the guest was John, he was even more surprised.

During the previous "Midnight Magic" arrangement process, he discovered that this friend might have some connection with the upper class, and might even be a member of it. Of course, out of respect between friends, he would not take the initiative to investigate the other party's identity.

So, maybe he could really get some advice from the two of them.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was amazed.

【William is really trying so hard, I am crying.】

【Hahahaha, desperate to try any possible means. 】

[What a mess! This female detective seems to have a strong background. Maybe she can hit the princess's sore spot and make her give up! ]

That's true.

After learning the cause and effect of the incident and William's true thoughts, Jon actually provided some useful information.

"This generation of royal families have a particular preference for animals. They have taken possible animals from various myths, hoping to ensure the stability of their power by collecting patron saints. How should I put it? It feels too boring."

Jon propped his chin up and told the others in a disjointed manner, "But it turned out that Her Royal Highness Elizabeth was pestering you? I thought it was the little prince. After all, after reading the story about the magic detective in the newspaper, he almost asked the Queen for it directly."

William was shocked.

"Haha, it's okay."

Perhaps the detective's expression was too funny, so Jon held back before continuing, "Even if he did, the Queen wouldn't agree. After all, as a man, he would be more strictly disciplined, and asking for a bird in a big way would definitely be rejected."

"On the contrary, women who study only to find a good husband and raise birds and flowers are not beyond the scope of being a lady, and they will probably only be described as elegant."

When he was talking about something, a hint of melancholy flashed across his eyes, but in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.

"So, all you have to do is ask Her Highness Elizabeth to give up!"

William agreed and asked sincerely, "Then how should I refuse?"

Lucy popped up: "Just reject her directly!"

Anne pressed her head back into her arms: "Of course not. If the princess is rejected, she will probably vent her anger on Officer William."

Lucy rolled her eyes and muttered quietly, "I've got this down, bad princess, be the villain."

After she had said a few words, her mother covered her mouth and forced her to shut up.

Jon looked at the mother and daughter with amusement, and then offered his own opinion.

In fact, William doesn't need to worry about his attitude. After all, as he said, he and the owl are not bound together, and he cannot decide whether the owl stays or goes.

Since the princess likes owls, just ask her to invite them herself.

After failing a few times, you can find a reputable priest to tell the princess that the owl does not match her horoscope. The princess will then naturally let it go and will not vent her anger on William.

After saying this, looking at the remaining confusion on the young detective's face, Jon thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, so it's you, William, who can't bear to part with Mr. Detective, and you're afraid that he will really accept the princess' invitation?"

William fell into a strange silence.

Jon suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, I understand your feelings. As a partner and friend, it would be strange if you didn't have some selfish motives."

"Besides, if he follows the princess, like the ravens in the Tower of London, there will definitely be a group of people who will clip his wings. That won't be a good job for him. It's better for him to continue to be a private detective here."

He patted the detective on the shoulder, winked, and said suggestively: "So, when the time comes, just let the detective fly away on his own."

William understood that Jon meant for him to hurry up and give the owl a habitual action, guiding it to fly away at the right time.

but……

This can be considered as interfering with the detective's choice.

Although he received reliable and effective advice, William still chose not to adopt it after careful consideration.

As the date of the invitation approached, he decided to go all out, throwing away all his worries, treating every day he spent with Owl as his last day, and his attitude became more gentle and friendly than ever before.

Owl: Coo? Coo?

The great detective was puzzled by this.

Narrator:

"Faced with the possibility of the detective leaving, the detective is naturally very nervous."

"During the course of their collaboration, he and this eccentric detective had many conflicts, and the process was not smooth sailing, so of course the other party might change partners."

"But after all, the other party is a genius detective. It is up to him to decide whether to stay or go, so he can only use his actions to show some desire to keep him."

[Detective, you are so serious. I am crying.]

[It seems that the detective really treats the owl as an independent individual and respects its wishes, even in matters like this.]

[But can the detective really understand this? () Let’s not talk about the original work, just here, the owl looks like a stone, hahaha. ]

[Stupid, pfft...even because of the enthusiasm of humans, it seems even stupider. 】

In fact, William is still a little selfish.

When combing the owl's feathers, he would suddenly talk about wings, praising the detective's beautiful feathers and saying that he couldn't imagine what the wings would look like if they were damaged.

The owl turned its head and pecked its wing in approval:

"Coo."

Yes, its wings are awesome.

Then William would release it, and while watching the owl circling and landing in the night sky, he would loudly praise its flying posture.

The owl excitedly puffed up its feathers on both sides and expanded its wings:

"Goooooo!"

It is the king of the night sky!

Apart from this, William had nothing more to add.

Having done so, he only hoped that if Mr. Owl did choose the princess, and was unhappy with the possible feather clipping process, he would be free to fly away.

Soon, it was time for the invitation.

There was no sun that day and it was foggy, with the whole world shrouded in a light gray-blue. Although it made people feel depressed, it prevented nocturnal birds like eagle owls from feeling listless.

"This is the Tower of London..."

William stood in front of the castle gate, looking at the retro and magnificent buildings inside the heavy gate, and couldn't help but sigh.

Under the leadership of the Queen, the Tower of London was restored and many professional architects and archaeologists were invited, so the interior of the Tower of London now resembles its medieval appearance and looks particularly special.

William was wearing a suit and windbreaker today, and he felt that it was quite strange for him to be here.

Princess Elizabeth wore a beautiful and intricate little dress with luxurious sparkling diamonds on the layers of the skirt. She needed two maids to pull the ends from behind to prevent it from getting dirty.

The other people in the police station wisely walked to the other side, leaving William to communicate with the princess.

"Hello again, Mr. William. And Mr. Owl, this is the first time I meet you formally."

The princess spoke gently, and after a few words of small talk, she once again hinted at her desire for the guardian bird through a special topic.

“This is really important to us.”

"For example, the ravens here are the birds that protect our kingdom. Each one has its own name and is looked after by a special raven trainer."

As he listened, William compared the information he knew in his mind.

The ravens in the Tower of London are indeed famous.

In the hearts of most Chinese people, one of them is the incarnation of a great king who will come to protect the kingdom in times of crisis. As long as the bird is there, the country is there.

If one raven is missing here, it will cause discussion among the whole nation.

Elizabeth also talked about this:

"I remember that the last raven that flew outside the wall was a raven named Lilith. This creature attracted discussion in the official daily newspaper for three consecutive days. Everyone was very concerned about it."

"So, we can say that we have both experience and a mature system in dealing with birds."

At this point in the conversation, she got straight to the point:

"Of course, as a woman, I still prefer cuter birds."

"Although ravens are great, after watching them for so long, I still want to find other special birds."

"Well, for example, the bird that represents wisdom in mythology and is tamed by the goddess of wisdom Athena..."

This is basically stated.

William was silent.

This conversation is probably unavoidable, it all depends on the detective's choice.

No matter which one it is, he will support it...

"Since you have no objection, I will communicate with Mr. Owl."

Perhaps reading this from William's expression, Elizabeth smiled, stretched out her hand, and invited the eagle owl to step on her lace gloves.

Realizing that someone was looking for it, the detective, who had habitually closed his eyes during the day, opened them lazily.

But just at this moment, a small gap appeared in the clouds above everyone, and a barely detectable light shone on the sparkling diamonds on the princess's skirt, just like the light splashing in all directions at a disco ball -

Humans with poor vision cannot notice anything unusual, but the owl only feels that it is about to be blinded by the light.

"hiss--!"

It suddenly jumped into the air and screamed, scaring the onlookers.

The owl doesn't care whether it scares anyone or not. It just squints its eyes and escapes to the darkest place.

I was almost blinded by the flash——

Run away!

Since both the princess and the maids in the palace were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a flashing effect, the effect of the owl staying away from the light meant that people thought it was staying away from the princess and her entourage.

The Princess and her party: ...

Was, was rejected.

Still merciless!!

The detective finally found a secluded shady spot and curled up under a tree trunk to relax.

Gulp (expletive)!

What tattered clothes! There's something wrong with you!

It was still frightened and kept recalling the strange human faces it had just seen and remembering to stay away from them once it made up its mind.

"quack!"

"Guga!"

"You waste!"

It closed its eyes, intending to wait until night to take action, but suddenly it heard a lot of loud noises.

Looking down, I saw four or five big black birds calling under the tree.

Suddenly I realized that the appearance rate of Crow Crow is very high ()
