Owl Detective
"that……"
Seeing the pair reconcile, Charles, who had been looking at the stars and the moon and pretending to be bored, finally found an opportunity to speak: "Congratulations, William. It seems that you have successfully passed the test of Mr. Detective."
He was friendly and gracious, and seemed like a warm friend.
But, for some reason, the owl's attitude towards him was extremely unfriendly. It turned its head away the moment he opened his mouth, with a pair of cold golden eyes, which made him a little scared. He did not dare to approach William easily, for fear of being scratched by this bird of prey.
Hiss...strange.
Didn’t he already have a good relationship with it last time?
Or are all truly wild animals free to do whatever they want?
Charles was distressed and almost asked.
All in all, he had been watching for so long that he probably noticed something. He estimated that this clever and intelligent owl also knew what they were concerned about.
Isn't that just right for him? He can just win over this wonderful detective duo, and maybe there will be a surprise in the subsequent public opinion stage?
So he extended the invitation again.
This time William chose to accept without hesitation.
Of course, he had just promised the owl that he would work hard to change the current situation of animals. Now that Charles asked him in person, he would agree, whether out of his heart or to show his attitude.
Afterwards, facing the owl's inexplicably cold gaze, Charles hesitated for a while, but still spoke up: "Well, then, Mr. Detective, are you interested in joining?"
The owl closed its eyes and ignored him.
Um? ?
Charles looked at William for help.
How did he offend this detective?
Isn't this only the second time they meet?
William: ...
"Mr. Owl, Charles is not a bad person." Thinking of the owl's reaction to him at the beginning, William felt that he had guessed something, so he patiently explained, "It was he who brought me here..."
After William's constant explanation, the owl reluctantly opened its eyes and glanced at Charles as a greeting, but did not directly respond to the other party's invitation.
The performance ends here, and the narration begins to summarize:
"Fortunately, the detective was not provoked by the criminal genius's demagogic words and confronted his trusted partner."
"And the facts were consistent with his inner expectations. It was all just a misunderstanding. The detective did not betray him, and the partners finally reconciled."
"But... although it was just a misunderstanding, the emotional fluctuations during that period did cause him to have some changes in his mindset."
The tense nerves in the audience's minds finally relaxed.
[Okay, okay, I'll just coax her into submission! ]
[Compared to before, the great detective tonight is very gentle! Even when he is angry, he doesn't nag or scratch anyone! He easily forgives humans. It really makes me cry. ]
[After seeing William watching the beast fighting scene, he chose to trust her. This is already a cross-species friendship! As expected, those with the word "cat" are all arrogant and soft-hearted. Hehe~]
[Hmm? Change of heart? What change of heart? Haven't you already forgiven the detective? ]
The camera has not yet revealed this mystery.
William and the others are now preparing to leave. After all, they can't stay at the back door of the Colosseum forever.
"Mr. Owl, can we go home?"
"Goo-goo."
William coaxed the owl back home, and it agreed reservedly, not realizing that it had forgotten something.
Not until the two men and the bird left did two little dark heads quietly emerge from behind the bull's body.
Looking at the owl's back as it stood on the human's shoulder and walked away, the two of them looked at each other, shock and confusion in their eyes.
etc!
Are they just left behind like that?
The raven panicked: "Quack!" Then how does it go back!
The black cat sighed: "Meow." He could only walk back and meow.
“Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga”
Late at night, there were mournful cries outside the Colosseum, which made the backs of the people who were cleaning the venue numb. At one point they thought it was the sound of souls being torn apart.
That sounds really disturbing.
Although he didn't get Owl's nod to join, Charles was not too disappointed.
From the very beginning, he did not place his hopes on the other party.
After all, what we have to do this time is not to solve the case, but to create public opinion and popularize the view so that there will be strong enough arguments to promote the protection proposal in the next parliament.
In this regard, it is estimated that only humans can do this. Even the most powerful animal detectives will be helpless against this!
"Well, don't worry, Mr. Detective."
In order to build a good relationship, Charles took the initiative to explain this to the owl. However, thinking of the grudge he had when he first met the owl, he said jokingly, "To be honest, even if you want to help, you probably can't do anything about it."
"In this regard, my congressman is more professional, little detective~"
The eagle owl raised one eye and looked at him without saying a word.
But after hearing this, there was a hint of contempt in its eyes for no reason, as if it was looking down on someone.
Charles even felt a little guilty about being looked at.
Uh, is it possible that I can really help?
But no matter how smart an owl is, it can't influence public opinion on a large scale. Is it planning to deliver flyers all over the city? Just like in that novel? Is there magic?
puff--
After smiling at this bizarre guess that suddenly popped up in his mind, Charles went back to his own business.
Humans go about their business, and owls have their own business to attend to.
After what happened last night, it now feels that it is very necessary to give humans a warning, especially those who stood around its younger brother last night.
They are all dangerous elements who may lead me astray!
Level 1 alert!
However, it is not very familiar with this area, so it is best to consult an expert.
So the owl came to the Tower of London again tonight.
There was something strange about the Tower of London tonight. There were even people patrolling outside the Crow Garden with lights, which had never happened before.
Did something happen to the ravens?
But what could happen to them? They couldn't fly—huh?
At this moment, the detective suddenly remembered that he seemed to have left the raven outside last night.
owl:……
Its landing posture became stiff and guilty, and as it expected, the moment it landed, a crow rushed over from the corner and loudly accused it, as if it had been waiting for it for a long time.
“Gah!!”
Do you know how long the crow has been gone?
Did you know!!
My feet are numb from walking! And I was discovered by humans!
Boss, why did you let yourself be bewitched by humans again and just leave? You are so confused!
The owl was silent, like a stone without any emotion.
But in fact, allowing the crow to cackle and complain beside it, and even enduring its excited nagging several times, was enough to prove that it was being particularly tolerant at this moment because of its guilty conscience.
"Guuuuu." Enough.
Only when the owl became really annoyed by the noise did it hoot and spread its wings threateningly, signaling the raven to stop.
Of course, it is not an unreasonable bird.
As compensation, it could agree to cooperate with the ravens to fight back against humans.
Old Crow: Cuckoo?!
Great! It won't be angry when it comes to this!
It jumped up happily and actively offered suggestions using all its life's knowledge.
Humans care about crows a lot, so the crows run away from home en masse to scare them!
Warn them that Yaya cannot be bullied casually, and will run away if he gets angry!
"Coo coo." That makes sense.
The owl nodded slightly in approval.
The two big birds had no idea what dangerous thing they were discussing.
It's okay if one or two escape from prison occasionally... But what if all the ravens in the Tower of London, a symbol of the stability of the royal power and the country, disappeared overnight? Just think about it and you can imagine that the whole society would be shocked and panicked!
The birds don’t care, though.
"quack!"
Soon, hearing the conversation here, other ravens also gathered around and excitedly discussed how to fight back in order to make humans panic.
After being cooped up in the Tower of London for so long, the raven has accumulated a lot of clever ideas, but the intelligence is not authentic and it is uncertain whether they can achieve the desired effect.
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement to let Owl take Crow to scout various places in the next few nights. After deciding on a suitable plan, they would work together to launch a counterattack against humans.
Haha, I’m excited!
Wow, that’s interesting.
Just like that, an action that could change the entire country was decided so casually by a few big furry birds that night.
The people who were soundly sleeping in this city had no idea, but in the live broadcast room, there were voice-overs that suggested spoilers.
Narrator:
"After the change in perspective, detectives also believe that society needs to change."
"Both for himself and for the several criminal geniuses who have become friends."
“So, late at night, the geniuses came together to collaborate.”
"They intend to change the previous situation together."
【OMG it’s on fire! 】
[Oh my god, these two actually cooperated?! The detective fainted in the toilet! ]
[What are you going to do? Is there anyone who can understand bird language? I need a translator urgently! ! ]
Owls seem to be very busy these days.
William was distressed by this.
He once suspected that the detective had not really forgiven him that night, otherwise why didn't he even participate in the night patrols in the past few days, but just flew out every day and came back almost at dawn.
Is there anything out there that would be more appealing to Mr. Owl?
William sighed.
Originally, he had planned to rekindle his relationship with Owl in the next few days, but when the other party was in a good mood, he disappeared, and when he was in a bad mood, he had to catch up on sleep and be quiet. There was no suitable opportunity for communication, which was really uncomfortable.
Tonight will probably be another night where I don’t come home.
William lit a small orange lamp, stood by the windowsill, and stared into the night, feeling like a poor, lonely old man waiting for his children to come home.
But in the second half of the night, the owl came back early.
William was overjoyed and offered food to show his concern:
"Mr. Owl, there is fresh meat today..."
"Goooo."
However, the owl, which had just returned, picked up the pieces of meat and flew away again.
Fly away!
William's pupils trembled.
Could it be... Could it be that Mr. Owl is now unwilling to even eat around him? !
How can this be called reconciliation? It's clear that the relationship has reached freezing point!!
The young man was distracted and in a heavy mood.
When the owl came back after feeding the birds, it saw the human brother's expression, which was uglier than crying.
"Mr. Owl, if you already hate me, please don't force yourself. If you want to leave... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, the owl pecked his chin impatiently, then naturally flew into the wooden nest at the head of the bed and called a few times to signal him to turn off the lights and get some rest.
It has been busy for several nights and it is finally over!
The hard-working detective should take a good rest!
Gwoo, turn off the lights!
"ah?"
This series of actions was natural and intimate, and there was really no sign of anger. William was really confused.
But no matter how confused he was, he still turned off the lights and drew the curtains, leaving the room bright enough for the owl to sleep peacefully, and then he went to bed in the dark to rest.
"Mr. Owl, what on earth are you doing?"
"Can you tell me? Just this once?"
“I really don’t understand this time…”
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, William couldn't help but ask.
But no matter how he asked, the owl ignored him and continued to act in its own way.
William could only fall asleep with heavy doubts in his heart.
the next day--
As soon as he got up, the young man was bombarded with a series of messages until his mind went blank.
"All the ravens at the Tower of London disappeared overnight?!"
“A lot of scattered property appeared in front of the church??”
"The mysterious cry of the city has reached the palace?"
Wait, what is happening?
What are these!
Planner and Executor Detective: Zzzzz
The actual planner·Raven: Quack, quack, tremble, humans!
Hard-working worker·Black cat: Meow, I’m so tired…
