Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

Before he finished speaking, the light bulb that was glowing and heating suddenly burned itself out a second ago, and with a bang, all the light tubes in the room exploded.

Not only that, the socket embedded in the wall also emitted a dazzling blue light, followed by a puff of white smoke mixed with burnt and foul smell.

"What did you just say this is?"

"..."

Bai Hua turned to ask the blond girl, but in the darkness, she couldn't see the expression on her face at the moment.

Afterwards, because the room was filled with a burning smell that gave a headache, Bai Hua and the blond girl could only move their luggage in first, then open the windows to ventilate, and temporarily went to Bai Hua's room to wait for the smell to dissipate.

——back to the present——

"Name" "Birch"

"What culture" "Undergraduate"

"What is a job?" "Detective agency staff"

"What do you usually do?" "Wait a minute..."

Sitting at the dining table and being severely tortured, Bai Hua suddenly realized that this was her home, not the Longmen Guards Bureau.

And the blond girl in front of her felt as if she was at home, and conducted a high-intensity interrogation on herself with the light of righteousness.

——What's the matter, I brought over a Census Bureau?

Bai Hua blinked, and Qilin, who was facing him, suddenly realized that this was not his workplace.

"Ah—sorry, please forgive my rudeness just now, because your sitting posture looks a lot like a person being interrogated."

"How could there be such a sitting posture?"

"In short, thank you very much for your help. Although there was some misunderstanding at first, I now understand that you are actually a very enthusiastic person."

The blond girl nodded her thanks to Bai Hua.

"Uh, actually at first I really wanted to pretend I didn't see it. After all, most people wouldn't wear a robe and squat by the side of the road, and you should still be a Qilin."

Bai Hua looked at the horns on the blond girl's head, there were no animal ears, no lamp tubes, no horns, only horns with wonderful shapes like crystals.

"You actually know Qilin, that's right, please call me 'Jing Zhe'."

The blond girl finally introduced herself, and seemed to approve of Bai Hua's actions.

"Anyway, I can understand you, Miss Jingzhe!"

"Eh?"

"Although I wanted to ignore it at the time, I was very aware of the pain of being homeless and sleeping under a quilt under a bridge hole!"

——I've never slept in that kind of place...

Bai Hua seemed to have empathized with Jing Zhe in a strange place, but the person concerned whispered in his heart that this gray wolf regarded himself as some kind of strange guy.

"Then Miss Jingzhe, why did you go to such a place to cover yourself with a quilt?"

After all, he is also a neighbor who lives next door, so Bai Hua's question is not surprising.

"Eh? Me, uh..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking casually, if you have something to say, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Seeing Jing Zhe's faltering appearance, Bai Hua hurriedly set up a step for her.

In fact, Bai Hua had already guessed from the details of the other party's clothing that the other party was a well-known person from Yan Kingdom.

But now the other party is silent about the purpose of Longmen and his party, Bai Hua knows that she has brought a father into the house in all likelihood.

"No...it's not like what you said. And if you go to someone's house as a guest and don't respond, this is against the etiquette of the Yan Kingdom."

Jing Zhe took out a metal comb from his sleeve, combing his hair cracklingly while explaining why he came here.

"You can understand me as a civil servant, yes, a civil servant. I came to Longmen to observe the city and look for someone at the same time. And...well, in a sense, this trip to Longmen is also It's kind of an exercise."

When Jing Zhe spoke at the end, her tone obviously weakened a lot. Rather than telling Bai Hua, it was more like complaining about herself.

Bai Hua didn't pay much attention to Jing Zhe's expression, when he heard the word "looking for someone", there was only one thing in his mind.

"As I said before, I'm an employee of Li's Detective Agency—no, I'm the top detective! If Miss Jingzhe needs to find someone, just leave it to me. Guaranteed to complete the commission efficiently and quickly! Here It's a business card."

Bai Hua introduced herself vigorously, and then took out a business card and handed it respectfully to the future sponsor's father.

Jing Zhe looked at the business card in front of her and was stunned for a moment, then took it with a smile.

"I understand, but the person I'm looking for is not that simple."

"It's okay, just add money!"

Bai Hua said that they can talk about everything.

"What I'm looking for is not ordinary citizens, but people who are free and easy in the world, who don't touch their clothes, and live in a place where they can't be seen."

Jing Zhe described the person she was looking for in this way, while Bai Hua fell into a short thought after hearing this.

After a few seconds, Bai Hua spoke with some uncertainty:

"You mean... the dishonest old Lai?"

"puff!"

Jing Zhe made a sound that didn't match her appearance at all. She should be glad that she had finished eating the instant noodles just now, otherwise there would be a high probability that she would spray them out of her nostrils now.

"It's really a wonderful metaphor, Shirakaba. But in a sense—it's true."

Jing Zhe wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, then got up from the dining table.

"The smell next door should have dissipated, thank you again for your help today. Also..."

Jing Zhe nodded his thanks to Bai Hua, and paused for a while.

"Also, if it's convenient, I suggest you take a vacation in another city first, after all, Longmen may become less peaceful recently."

After saying these meaningful words, Jing Zhe left Bai Hua's room.

After a few seconds-

"Uh, that... I just closed the door when I went out, but it was locked again... Can you, perform that one again? It's the one that opened after poking..."

Qilin poked half of his head in from behind the door, and his tone was embarrassing just from the sound of it.

"Law enforcement through fishing, right?"

Bai Hua complained softly.

Chapter 21 The Energetic Candy Shop Gray Wolf

crazy thursday --

There is no such thing in Longmen, but for Bai Hua, every Thursday is indeed a day worth looking forward to, because on this day, I don’t need to go to the detective agency to worry about being caught as a guinea pig by Ah, and I don’t have to receive calls like “help the aunt next door sweep the floor.” "Washing clothes and pickling pickles" and other commissions that don't make a lot of money are super troublesome.

Today was the day when Bai Hua went to work in the candy store. He didn't wear the usual casual suit, but changed into a casual suit, and walked slowly to the candy store at the intersection of Longmen West Street.

Candy stores are not common in Longmen, or looking at the whole of Terra, except for the most developed city-states in the country, most areas do not have shops that specialize in selling such 'children's snacks'.

The candy store is very conspicuous and festive from the exterior decoration. The large-scale red and white retro-style tiles make this store particularly eye-catching in most streets with the theme of 'industrial coldness' and 'cyberpunk RGB'.

Bai Hua entered the store and came to the staff locker room, opened the cabinet with her own label on it, and put on the special clothes for the staff.To put it bluntly, it is just a white coat with a black apron.

After changing into the attire of a candy shop clerk, Bai Hua still looks good at first glance, at least the aura of "this person seems to owe a lot of money" disappeared.

Moreover, the black-and-white costumes fit well with the birch-black hair with two pinches of white hair, and it even looks a bit like a store manager at first glance.

Bai Hua walked to the cash register of the candy store. At the same time, the bell at the gate rang, and a young Filin girl walked into the candy store holding her parents' hands.

"Welcome, lovely lady, is there anything I can do to help you? For example-send you a little flower?"

Bai Hua walked up to the little customer with a smile all over his face. He squatted beside the little Filin girl and held both hands. When he opened it again, a pink flower suddenly appeared in his palm.

"I wish you a good day, little princess. Now, please feel free to buy and try~ Although there are no promotions today, cute children can get extra rewards!"

Bai Hua pinned the little pink flowers on the girl's hair, then gently rubbed her hair.The little girl nodded happily and led her family into the candy store.

This child was obviously lucky, because she was the first customer Bai Hua met on duty today.

30 minutes into work—

"Welcome, there are no promotions today. If you have any questions during the purchase of candies, I will try my best to answer them."

"My mom's birthday, I want to buy some candy for mom!"

"There are cheap candies in bulk at the bottom. You probably won't be able to bring much money when you go out by yourself. It's fun to buy something."

"Woooooooo..."

A little Wolper fox walked into the store, and he happily asked the big brother of the Lupu family at the cashier at the door, but the other party only responded in a very formulaic tone, and gave an answer that was not dreamy at all.

60 minutes into work—

"Big brother, that... I only have this money in my pocket, but, but—"

"Welcome, don't ask me if there is no event"

A little boy nervously placed a few coins on the counter, while Bai Hua said what he needed to say in a very formulaic manner, and then glanced at the few coins on the table impatiently.

"I only have these..."

The little boy turned his head in embarrassment, while Bai Hua threw the coin into the cash register with a blank expression, then turned and walked to the back kitchen.

"Here, your sugar."

Not long after, Bai Hua threw a bag to the little boy.

"So heavy...thank you big brother! What kind of candy is this?"

"White sugar."

"..."

The little boy froze on the spot, and before he could say anything, Bai Hua waved his hand and signaled him to walk away.

90 minutes into work—

"That, Big Brother Gray Wolf?"

"..."

"Big brother, are you there?"

"..."

"Big brother-"

"Choose what you want to buy."

At this time, Bai Hua moved a small bench from nowhere and sat on it, with her upper body lying on the cash register.

Even if a customer occasionally enters the shop, Bai Hua will murmur "Welcome" in a low voice. If he encounters a customer who asks where a certain candy is, he will only twist his ears to guide the way, and the main body will continue Lying on the cashier counter, motionless, her voice and appearance were present.

This is Bai Hua's state after working for about an hour, lying motionless on the table like a lucky cat ornament, even when she is paying the bill.

"Hello, settle the bill for me."

A customer put a bag of candies in front of the cashier, and Bai Hua took the bag out of her arms with her left hand, kneaded it, threw it on the electronic scale, weighed it and set the price.Afterwards, he stuffed his left hand back into his warm bosom, and stretched out his right hand to receive money and change.

It sounded like there was nothing wrong with the process, but Bai Hua still didn't get up from the table or even raise his head during the whole process.

Judging the shape and packaging material of the candy by touch, and then guessing what kind of candy it is, and then judging the price by the material of Longmen coins to make change. ⑥⑧ ③⑦ 0②⑨⑨⑤

Bai Hua used a method that sounded troublesome and difficult, resolutely refusing to get up from the table and work hard.

After sending away a few customers like this, the large waste was still lying on the cash register table, just short of a small quilt.

'jingle~'

"—"

The doorbell rang cheerfully, unlike the previous guests, Bai Hua's ears trembled twice.

"Beforehand, if you plan to rob, this is not a good place. After all, this is just a candy store. If you want to make a lot of money, the women's luggage store opposite is a good choice."

Bai Hua finally got up from the table. While yawning and rubbing his blue-gold eyes, he lazily raised his head to look at the guest in front of him.

It was quite different from what I had guessed. The 'customer' standing in front of me was wearing a pure black suit and was at least 1 meters tall. It was obvious that this guy was not here to buy things.
