Owl Detective
The show had already reached this point, and the narrator was slow to start explaining the previous plot:
"Soon, it was time for the official date."
"Not long after they met, the princess invited the detective, hoping to receive his personal protection."
“And the detectives’ response was not what people expected.”
"He, who always follows his own will, didn't care about the princess's beauty and status at all. He refused firmly and mercilessly, and then he just left the scene, shocking everyone."
[I laughed to death, hahahaha, so cool! ]
[Curious, why did the owl suddenly become irritable? ]
[An irresponsible guess: maybe the diamonds on the princess's dress were too shiny, which made the detective's eyes uncomfortable ()]
[Hahahaha, is this a straight man? I feel embarrassed for the princess.]
[What's going on now? Is the detective being targeted by a crow? ]
The narrator then begins:
"And the detective who left the scene unexpectedly met a special guy."
"I don't know why, even though we haven't had any interactions, he feels like our magnetic fields are not compatible."
...It's really noisy.
The eagle owl stared at them and tilted its head in confusion.
"quack."
The blackbirds seemed even more excited, hopping on the lawn as if calling the owl to come down.
owl:……
Are you kidding me?
It is not dominant during the day.
So, it spread its wings, moved to a tree far away, and curled up again, closing its eyes.
“Da da, da…”
When the owl heard the clacking sound of sparse claws stepping on the hard floor, it felt a little uneasy. Sure enough, the next second its eardrums were filled with the cries of the group of noisy black birds again -
“Gah! Gah!!”
"Goooooo!"
He could no longer endure it, and taking advantage of the thick clouds blocking the sunlight, the irritable detective swooped down and pinned down the black bird that was leading the charge and shouting the loudest with one claw.
Suddenly, the world became quiet.
Crash——
The owl heard the sound of wings spread out in panic, but in the end no bird flew away. It turned its head to check in confusion, and inexplicably felt that the wings of these ravens were a little short.
The detective tilted his head.
Bad genes?
New species?
But if that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of.
You have to know that when crows of this size travel in groups during the day, even owls, which are birds of prey, need to retreat.
But since they are just a group of guys with ridiculously short wings, if anything happens it can just fly directly into the trees without being afraid.
“…Gah.”
The leading crow under his claws knew the opportunity and cried for mercy. The detective looked at it arrogantly and released his claws.
[So it's this kind of magnetic field incompatibility? ]
[To be honest, crows do make a lot of noise when they crow ()]
[Are they the ravens kept in the Tower of London that the princess mentioned? They do look like their feathers have been clipped and they can't fly high.]
[Although crows are noisy and can't fly, they are smart! Ravens are really super smart! Is it possible to get a high IQ criminal genius setting from the original work! ]
[Oh, what you said earlier was very interesting. The detective already has a partner, a little brother, but it would be a bit lacking without a rival!]
In detective works, characters are basically shaped by the cases.
And this group of ravens that are in a tense standoff with the owl does match a character in the original work.
so--
The case happened.
"So I flew here..."
"Oh my god, my necklace is gone!"
On the left, William is leading everyone to look for birds; on the right, a noble lady is pulling the royal guard to ask questions.
The two groups arrived at this place almost at the same time.
"Oh, Your Highness the Princess..."
Seeing this, the lady with an extremely anxious expression quickly let go of the guard's hand, hurried to Elizabeth, and cried to her that she had lost her jewelry in the Tower of London.
Elizabeth listened patiently with a worried expression, but in fact there was no fluctuation in her eyes, and she was even a little irritated.
A piece of jewelry is lost, so it is lost. Why make such a big fuss about it? Are you trying to question the ability of the royal guards?
What's the point of talking to her? She doesn't care about this matter.
The princess, who was already in a bad mood because of the owl's rejection, became even more unhappy.
The attendant probably understood what the princess meant from her micro-expression and took the initiative to speak: "Madam Jolina, the princess sympathizes with your situation very much, but this is the Tower of London."
"You know, there are sometimes strange shadows here, and ladies who wear gorgeous jewelry often lose their gems. You are not the only one."
The attendant lowered his voice, as if recounting some indescribable urban legend, with a bit of caution: "Even our guards often complain that their ankles suddenly ache when they rest, and the watches they put on the chairs disappear."
Mrs. Qiao Lina's face changed drastically: "What do you mean...?"
The follower nodded with a heavy look in his eyes.
"That's why people value ravens," Elizabeth finally spoke in an elegant tone. "After all, as long as they can see ravens, ladies will never lose their jewelry again. These ambassadors of the kingdom continue to protect people and fight against the shadows in the Tower of London."
These words were typical official rhetoric. Even if Qiao Lina felt resentful, she couldn't interrupt the princess casually. She could only twiddle her fingers, unwilling to let the theft go.
As her eyes wandered, she saw William in the crowd.
Looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before...
She remembered, this was the detective who worked with Owl.
"Um, Detective William?" Seeing that the princess was about to make the final decision on this matter, Lady Jolina made up her mind and called William, "I heard that your partner is an owl detective. They are all birds. It must be like the ravens in the Tower of London. It is not afraid of those things, right? So can you ask it to help me find the jewelry?"
She spoke very quickly and tried hard to praise the other party, fearing that she would be rejected by William.
But to her surprise, it was the princess who had already turned around and responded to her words.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot that the great detective is here." Elizabeth paused at the last noun, as if she was slightly annoyed. She looked at William and said with a smile, "Then let's ask that arrogant great detective to take action. I really look forward to his performance."
William: ...
Anyone could probably tell that the princess was angry and humiliated after being rejected, and wanted to make things difficult for them.
But he still couldn't refuse, after all, the gap in status was there.
Therefore, he could only sigh helplessly, and walked towards the lawn where the owl was, under the explicit and covert urging of the crowd.
"Mr. Detective, something strange is happening now..."
Narrator:
"The case happened."
"But this time, it's not a murder case that the detective is familiar with, but a jewelry theft case."
"Although it seems to be just an ordinary thing, the weirdness behind it is eye-catching."
"I always feel like there's a bigger conspiracy behind this..."
[This princess is so annoying. Why does she always make things difficult for others? ]
[He is a tool to push the plot forward, and to be honest, this character's reaction is quite reasonable. 】
[How can jewelry be stolen? I thought the Tower of London was full of nobles and there were no thieves.]
[Can we find a detective for this? ? How can we infer something that was just lost? ]
[Don't panic, the Owl Detective is a genius who can see through all the truth! It will definitely work! ]
"Goooooo!"
The eagle owl impatiently bit the human's wrist to silence him, his round golden eyes filled with exhaustion.
What’s going on? What’s going on!
Why is it so noisy when it’s time to sleep?
"Are you really communicating with it?" Elizabeth approached and frowned in confusion as she watched the conversation between the man and the bird. "Does it know what it's doing?"
William replied politely: "Of course, Mr. Detective is very smart, hiss, but sometimes the methods he uses to solve cases are, hiss, rather special."
These few inhalations were because the eagle owl was unhappy when it found Princess Sparkling approaching, and it really used some force with its mouth, biting his hand and hurting it.
Ah, it hurts more and more...!
"Mr. Detective, calm down..."
The young man's face wrinkled in pain, but he still patiently soothed the owl with its wings raised on the lawn. As he moved, his wide windbreaker gradually obscured the sparkling spots on the clothes of the people behind him. The detective who was on the edge of exploding gradually calmed down and folded his wings.
After a long while, it finally slowly opened its mouth and called out, "Guwugu."
"Are you willing to help? That's great." William unnoticeably put his hand behind his back and turned to ask Madam Qiao Lina, who had a subtle expression for some reason, "Please tell me more about the details of the incident, Madam."
Everyone: ...
They all turned their eyes to the young man's right hand behind his back.
There was a deep scar on the skin between the glove and the cuff. Although the skin was not broken, it was a large red area with faint red blood spots emerging. Looking at it made people feel the same pain, as if their wrist was also hurting.
But the young man remained calm, as if he was used to such interactions.
"Oh, then, I was sitting on the bench over there..."
Listening carefully to Mrs. Jolina's narration, William suddenly felt that everyone's eyes seemed to be looking at him strangely. Even the princess's attendant, who was originally the most dissatisfied with him, seemed to have become a little friendlier.
Moreover, the princess took a few steps back, as if she didn't want to come over to see the owl.
I don't understand why, but it's a good thing.
William breathed a sigh of relief and continued to analyze Mrs. Jolina's testimony.
According to her, she was tired from walking, so she sat on a bench to rest. She placed her jewelry on the armrest because she was worried that it would get dirty from sweat.
At that time, a few sisters happened to come, so she stood up and chatted with them. Only five minutes passed, but when she sat down again, the jewelry on the armrest had disappeared.
During that time, except for a few sisters who were in her sight the whole time, no one else passed by that area, and she really had no idea how her jewelry was lost.
"Ma'am, do you still remember what the jewelry looks like?"
Mrs. Jolina seemed to hesitate for a moment, then walked over cautiously, handed William a piece of jewelry, and immediately turned back.
After they were a little further apart, she spoke again, "The gemstones here and on that piece of jewelry are from the same batch of raw materials. The color and other aspects are similar. Officer, you can compare them based on this."
"……OK."
William was a little puzzled by her attitude of avoiding her like a beast, but he didn't care too much. He waved the ornament in front of the owl and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Detective, we are looking for ornaments similar to this one."
Owl: "Coo, coo, coo."
The detective lazily opened his eyes and glanced at the jewelry in front of him without saying anything.
"Remember? We can go to the scene and check it out later."
"Coo."
On the opposite side, where no one was paying attention, a few large black birds froze instantly when they saw the beautiful jewelry.
quack--
I shouldn't notice them, right?
A few crows looked at each other, reached a consensus, and tried to slip away stealthily.
"Gu! Gu!"
But just then, they heard several threatening bird calls.
The eagle owl on the opposite side locked onto them mercilessly, its golden eyes looking extremely tough to mess with.
Goo, wanna run?
No way!
Suddenly, it swooped down on several large birds on the opposite side, scaring the crows so much that they flapped their wings and ran around, trying to escape but unable to.
"Ga! Ga!"
"Eh? Wait! Mr. Detective!"
William was panicked. He couldn't understand why the detective would suddenly target the most valued ravens in the Tower of London after receiving the commission. His heart almost stopped.
Fortunately, the owl's ability to move during the day was greatly reduced, and it had no real intention of fighting, so the crows were just frightened and not really injured.
After being stopped by humans, the eagle owl stopped, landed on William's shoulder, and raised its eyes arrogantly to stare at the darkness on the lawn.
“Gugugugu…”
This is the price for disturbing its sleep just now, stinky black bird.
The owl's belated revenge left everyone at a loss as to what to do. They couldn't figure out why it suddenly attacked the ravens.
In the midst of hesitation, no one noticed that one raven was missing, but even if people did, they would probably just think that the raven was frightened and ran away.
But in fact——
The crow that took advantage of the chaos ran hurriedly into a bush. As it went in and out, a bracelet inlaid with beautiful gems appeared on its mouth.
——The gems are the same as the reference jewelry given by Lady Jolina.
After that, Yaya hurried to the bench where the crime occurred, threw the bracelet in his mouth without hesitation, and fled the scene quickly after doing all this.
The eccentric Owl Detective never explains anything and only acts on his own, so different people will naturally have different understandings of his actions.
The princess and the others, after seeing the owl suddenly attack the raven, thought that this detective was really eccentric and violent...
But William was thinking, could it be that the detective was identifying the ravens?
He thought so and asked hesitantly.
"How is that possible! Don't be so ridiculous!"
"Humph, I haven't even investigated the owl's attempt to attack the raven! Are you trying to frame them?!"
"I now doubt whether it is solving the case. If you can't help Madam Qiao Lina find the jewelry today, then the attack just now will be your evidence of guilt!"
The attitude of the crowd was not good.
After all, it was normal for them to be pissed off after they attacked the bird that symbolized the stability of the kingdom.
William sighed in his heart, touched the eagle owl's head, and thinking of keeping it away from those precious birds, he suggested returning to the crime scene to investigate.
Perhaps others had similar thoughts, so they left.
“…Gah.”
After everyone left, the crows that had been tense finally breathed a sigh of relief and combed each other's feathers, still feeling a lingering fear.
This is the first time they were caught stealing sparkles!
How horrible! The two-legged beasts actually invited an owl to catch them!
As smart birds, the crows had been observing the other person's expressions.
They were very curious from the beginning. How could there be an alien bird here, and a complete bird that could fly freely.
It wasn't until they saw Jolina come forward and saw the familiar jewel color that they understood.
Haha haha...it seems like the owner has come to find us!
Until then, they still didn't panic. After all, everyone knew what was going on. They had not been discovered so many times before, and it would be the same this time. They just had to escape from the scene quietly.
Then, the owl, having seen the gems, attacked them directly.
Ga——!
This bird is so scary!
The crows were shocked and quickly drove out a crow to return the shiny thing, then pretended to be stupid in an attempt to get away with it.
Fortunately, fortunately, they all left.
They looked at each other and quickly evacuated the scene to prevent their opponent from making a comeback.
Before leaving, the leader of the crows turned around and looked at the backs of everyone leaving with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
This is the first time that Ya Ya has failed in his operation...
The perfect plan that Crow had carefully planned ended in a mess. The damn owl remembered it!
Urged by its younger brothers, the old crow turned around, hopped and followed its younger brothers into the bushes and disappeared.
When people returned to the crime scene, they saw Mrs. Jolina's jewelry at a glance.
Everyone fell silent.
A variety of emotions such as surprise, doubt, joy, confusion, etc. were intertwined in Mrs. Jolina's brain. She even held her forehead with her hand, and she really couldn't figure out what was going on.
It was not until she turned around and saw the owl resting with its eyes closed on the young detective's shoulder that she suddenly realized:
"This, this must have been done by you, Mr. Detective!"
Unconsciously, she had changed her way of addressing the owl into honorifics, and her tone had become sincere and genuine.
"As expected of the legendary detective, his methods of solving cases are simply incredible!"
Old Crow: Damn it, damn it detective, next time I find a crime I won’t let you solve it easily!
An owl who just wants to beat up a crow because he's in a bad mood after waking up:?
In the main world of Crow, Crow is the protagonist, in the world of Cat Man, he is the leading Crow, and here he is the boss Crow. The Crow content is so high, hahaha.
