Owl Detective
In the picture, the owl was beating a man, its claws were bleeding, and the man was screaming in pain, but everything in front of him was dark and he couldn't fight back. He could only lie on the ground and curl up like a shrimp in an attempt to save himself.
In the live broadcast room, the narrator took a sip of tea and spoke leisurely:
"It's a new case, of course he knows about it."
"Although he didn't investigate with the detective, as a genius, he had already seen through the truth and identified the murderer."
"It's just that due to some concerns and the detective's bad attitude, he doesn't plan to help so quickly."
"It was not until he quarreled with the detective again that he ran away in anger and headed straight for the murderer."
Generally speaking, detectives win with their intelligence, and going out in anger to look for the murderer alone is very reckless and may cause injury.
But...it's here.
"ah--!!"
"What the hell?! Get out! Get out!"
"Stop scratching... Stop scratching!"
Amid the wailing voices in the background, the narrator added faintly:
"Perhaps some people misunderstand the detective's fighting ability because of his harmless appearance, but actually, he's quite capable in fighting."
"So even when he was one-on-one with the criminal late at night, he had no fear at all."
[That's right, late at night is actually a buff for Owl. ]
[Eagle owls can even attack hawks at night... but because they fly silently and have excellent vision at night, they are no match for eagles.]
[Ohhh, so handsome! As expected of a raptor! 】
[I am dying of laughter. Something just flew onto my face! ]
[Wow, he beat me so hard, there are several scratches on my eyes, I think he's going blind.]
[Hiss... Did I hit him too hard? Or should I wait for someone to catch me? ]
The scene was so tragic that the audience even began to feel a little pity for the priest who fell to the ground and fainted.
He didn't look like a strong man, and was suddenly attacked by sharp claws in the middle of the night. The shock and pain combined made him trip over tables and chairs before he could even stand steadily, and then he was attacked from various angles.
The owl's attack alone wouldn't have made him pass out, but he probably hit his head on the ground.
Tsk tsk, it’s horrible.
The audience sighed, but Owl was satisfied.
Those two eyes, like small lamps, looked at the human coldly. When they were sure that the human was unconscious, they raised their wings and slapped the other's head viciously.
This is the price of prying its wall, ugh!
After completing its revenge at lightning speed, the eagle owl relaxed, its ears stood up, and it walked around on the ground happily.
Now, its younger brothers should not have any thoughts of rebellion.
As he was walking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the darkness. The furry detective stopped, tilted his head, walked over and rummaged through a cloth bag not far away.
It was quite heavy and seemed to contain something square.
The eagle owl tilted its head.
This was thrown off this guy during the fight just now.
Looks bright, like it.
Gu...then keep it as a trophy!
The eagle owl was even happier after making the decision like a robber. It grabbed the cloth bag without hesitation, cooed a few times, and flew out of the factory, leaving Danny lying alone in the cold factory.
The audience shuddered.
[Oh, it feels like this guy is going to die without anyone catching him.]
[What a fierce detective...]
Not long after the sigh, the owl in the camera had returned to William's windowsill.
Because the owl took time to find the way on the way out and also spent some time hunting on the way back, when it leisurely came back holding the cloth bag, it was almost dawn.
"Mr. Detective! You're back!"
It was greeted with an exceptionally warm greeting from William.
Ever since the owl left without saying goodbye yesterday evening, William has been missing it. He even took leave from his night patrol just to get the news of its return as soon as possible.
When he saw what the owl brought back, he breathed softly: "Detective...is this what you got last night?"
Owl: "Coo."
The big furry detective raised his paw and threw the bag into the man's hand.
"This is?"
Unlike birds that focus on appearance, William opened the cloth bag as soon as he got it and poured out a dozen beautifully wrapped small cards.
"Dear Rita..."
He opened it with confusion, and his face turned grim after reading the beginning.
These words are an ambiguous invitation to children. The writer uses a gorgeous and dreamy deceptive tone, claiming to be a messenger of the new world, and asks the invited children to go to a place alone late at night, witness a midnight miracle, and then forget everything during the day.
Late night, date, dream...
In the live broadcast room, the screams of the audience were deafening.
[Ahhh, so that guy is a pedophile! And he doesn’t care about gender!]
[OMG, they are using such deceptive means to harm children. How disgusting! ! ]
[I take back what I said just now, Mr. Detective, you didn't hit him lightly. You should hit him harder and scratch this beast to death! ! ]
[Damn, I thought it was just a superstitious sacrifice of children, I didn't expect this guy was just doing it for his own selfish desires... So disgusting, catch him quickly! ! ]
This is, have you found that person?
William took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts in his mind.
First of all, Mr. Detective is still Mr. Detective. His previous suspicion was really offensive and rude. He deserved the other party's lack of help during this period.
Secondly, the identity of the fugitive priest was revealed, probably in the factory school. Their investigation was declared over. Thanks again, Mr. Detective.
After thinking this through, William looked into the eagle owl's blinking eyes again and immediately apologized for his previous offense:
"I'm sorry, Detective, I shouldn't have doubted you."
"Goo-goo."
"No matter what, you are now the best detective in my heart."
"Goooooo!"
"Please forgive my offense. Will you continue to cooperate with me in the future?"
The young detective carefully reached out and combed the eagle owl's hair as he had done before.
The eagle owl dodged the first time, but didn't dodge the second time. It just opened its round eyes, turned its head, and looked at the human's every move suspiciously.
William, feeling extremely guilty, was even gentler and more patient than before. He fed the cat, soothed its fur, and apologized, finally satisfying the great detective who had been working hard all night.
"Coo, coo, coo."
Sure enough, after beating the guy up, the little brother became obedient.
The owl was satisfied and flew onto the shelf to close its eyes and take a rest.
Narrator:
"Although the detective failed to subdue the criminal, he brought back a crucial clue."
"With this clue, it's no different from catching the criminal."
"He had previously seen through the truth and let his partner take action. This time, he was already making a huge concession and compromise."
"The detective obviously realized this, so he took the initiative to apologize and reconciled with the detective."
[Hahaha, but I feel like the point of the apology is a little different.]
[Just tell me whether the detective has brought back any clues and whether the police officer has apologized! ]
[Yes, yes, it is exactly the same, no problem at all. ]
With the card information, the scope can almost be minimized.
William didn't even have time to rest. He hurriedly left with the cards and information while the owl was resting, and went to find Jon to investigate together in advance.
“Hahaha—”
Jon yawned several times. He was very sleepy at first, but he became more alert after William's story. "Oh! Is the great detective finally showing his strength?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why have you been hiding it these days? We've been searching for it for so long..." He took the card, carefully identified the handwriting, and finally said with certainty, "It's this person!"
Once the range is locked, the subsequent actions become extremely smooth.
The two men sneaked into the factory and easily got the accommodation address of the school teachers from the workers.
Based on the drug records requested by the accommodation staff, they also quickly identified the room where the prisoner was hiding.
“Knock, knock.”
“Knock, knock.”
After knocking on the door several times, a weak voice finally came from inside: "Sorry, I'm not feeling well and can't meet you."
"Oh~ It's okay if it's inconvenient to meet guests."
Jon motioned William to stand aside, then took a few steps back, took a run-up and kicked the door open. The door panel fell down under the weight and hit the ground with a loud "bang".
Amid the flying dust, he said with a smile: "After all, we are not guests, we are here to arrest you."
"You, who are you?!"
When Jon saw the panicked people in the house, he was a little surprised: "Huh? What is this? An ancient Egyptian mummy?"
William walked into the room, took a look, and fell silent.
Mr. Detective, you must have been unhappy last night...?
Thinking that such an angry owl did not attack him, the detective suddenly felt boundless gratitude in his heart, and determined not to make the other party unhappy again.
"You, who are you guys..." The panicked mummy tried to threaten, "If you don't leave, I'll call security!"
The two remained unmoved and after a brief cooperation they arrested the other party on the spot.
During this process, the mummy kept trying to speak, whether it was threats or inducements, and the pain from the wound on his face kept repeating, which made Jon feel a little painful.
"Don't waste your energy, Mr. Danny." Jon patted his head. "Think about who you have offended in the West District. Fugitives have no right to apply for legal protection."
Danny blanched.
Perhaps knowing that the situation was hopeless, he began to talk nonsense:
"You can't just take me away like this, the factory will be paralyzed!"
"Those lambs, no, no, those workers will rise up and fight you to the death!"
"And the children, the children...they have been looking forward to the midnight invitation...but I am their favorite teacher!"
William was unmoved until he heard the last sentence. He couldn't help it and slapped the mummy with a look of disgust as if he saw a bug: "You are worthy of it?"
[Good! ! The officer did a great job! ]
[I can't stand this kind of person anymore, I'll take him to the police station right now! ]
[If it was because of offending the nobles... it would be even worse, I'd like to hear that. 】
Afterwards, Danny was escorted back to the West District by special personnel to face the aristocratic trial. Out of his professional ethics as a police officer, William, based on Danny's confession, searched for those who had been deceived by Danny in the factory and told them the truth.
He thought the workers might be thankful.
But the facts were exactly the opposite of what he thought. The workers who learned the truth became lost and helpless, even as if they had lost something important.
William: ...
Even though that bastard priest was full of lies, he might have been right about one thing, that is, the people in the factory were indeed spiritually empty, so they needed something insubstantial to express their emotions.
William couldn't cope with this situation.
Telling the truth was unwelcome and difficult. He seemed to realize why the detective was unwilling to intervene in the incident this time...
What's more, a group of children are among the victims of this incident.
If even adults find it difficult to accept the truth, then can children who have just entered school and whose minds are not mature enough really rationally accept the shattering of their dreams?
The narrator explains this succinctly:
"Although the case was closed quickly with the help of detectives, the subsequent handling encountered problems."
"Regarding the psychological care of the victims..."
[Damn it, using lies to deceive children's innocence, bastard. ]
[I guess this is what the detective is struggling with, right? He doesn't want to make the children sad, so gentle. ]
[Thinking about it, if I were to say it directly, I'm afraid I would have a traumatic experience with the school and the teachers... It's too scary, I'm completely tired of studying ()]
[What can we do? The person who made the promise has been arrested, and now we have to worry about the victim not leaving a psychological shadow on him. It’s very difficult! ]
[Does Mr. Owl have any tricks? 】
[What? You expect an owl? What can it do?]
William had no idea what to do, so he looked through the cards and the corresponding student lists, and unexpectedly discovered that Lucy was one of them.
Combined with the abnormality the girl showed when they met that day...it's true!
While it was still early, William left the factory and looked for Anne to discuss a solution.
“…There is actually such a thing?!”
It was not until William came to visit that Anne realized that the so-called magic that Lucy had been repeating these days was no longer just an ordinary vision.
"No wonder she's been talking about invitations lately. I thought she made some friends at school."
"Damn it! If that guy was in front of me right now, I swear I would pour the entire new potion I mixed into his nostrils!"
"Asshole, you attacked a child, you are a complete loser!"
After cursing for a while, Anne finally came to her senses and thought with William about how to tell the children the truth.
Fortunately, those two days were holidays and the school was closed, so the news of Danny's capture would not reach the children for a while.
But the latest will be the day after tomorrow.
The children, whose hope thresholds are raised by the lies Danny made up, regard him as the best teacher. They look forward to all kinds of arrangements and care from adults, and only hope to be closer to the mysterious world he talks about.
If the truth were revealed directly, no one could predict how these children, who had entered the school with great difficulty, would rebel.
Maybe they will be labeled as villains.
After all, they were no match for the eloquent priests who had the authority of a teacher.
And...on weekdays, Danny has had various physical contacts with the children. If they are unaware of it, it may not matter, but once it is determined, it is hard to say whether it will leave psychological trauma on the children. It is better to let the other party leave in an appropriate way.
Ah, and that damn invitation! It was already shown to the kids! How do you explain that?!
Anne frowned and thought hard.
Perhaps, they need a more authoritative and credible identity...
Suddenly she thought of something, raised her eyes to the detective opposite her, and asked tentatively: "Excuse me, is Mr. Owl free these days?"
late at night.
The boy couldn't sleep.
Perhaps children's thoughts are always so jumpy. He thought about the tiredness from working during the day and the endless future, but suddenly he thought of the mysterious world in those few words. He rolled around excitedly on the bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.
“Da da.”
Just then, he heard a strange noise coming from the window.
It was very regular, like something was tapping gently on the window.
He got out of bed in confusion, walked to the bed in the dark, and carefully opened the curtain. The next second, his pupils shrank slightly, and he was surprised by what he saw -
I saw an owl standing on the windowsill.
It tilted its head, holding in its mouth a mysterious invitation letter that every child dreams of.
Owl: Coo, today's the messenger.
So the new form is Magic Courier! Add buff!
