American comic Gotham, the sheriff of Arkham

Mexican restaurant.

It is located just downstairs from the apartment where Naegi and his family live. The restaurant is very large and is a family business, owned by Carmen's family.

The current store owner, Pemola Carmen, and his wife have six sons and three daughters, and the family runs the store together.

As soon as you enter the store, you can see a super long bar inside. Behind the bar is the kitchen, fried chicken shop, bar, bakery, cold drink shop, and sushi restaurant.

Various foods were arranged like a buffet restaurant, and there were more than thirty small round tables in the restaurant that could seat four people.

This place also doubles as a bar at night, where some drunks get drunk, but today there are a lot fewer people here.

Mainly a group of policemen in uniforms eat here, and the effect is more immediate than sprinkling disinfectant powder.

The restaurant owner, Pemora, is over 50 years old, with gray hair. She is wearing an apron and frying steak at the stove.

His sons and daughters-in-law were preparing other food. There were more than a dozen policemen who came and their tastes were different, so his whole family was busy.

At the bar, Jay was holding a large glass of beer and vividly describing what had happened today to the restaurant owner's two twin daughters.

The bizarre and surprising case frightened the two women so much that they trembled with fear and almost screamed out in terror.

Because there were not many people in the restaurant, the police sat casually. Miaomu and Nima Ge sat at the same table.

Sheriff Bullock sat at a table by himself, a glass of whiskey in his hand and a cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table.

"Okay, here comes the steak."

Pemora Carmen came out from the bar with two steaks, put the plates on the table, and stood by with a smile on her face, waiting for comments.

Just now, Naegi asked Jerry to remind him that if the steak was not cooked well, he would smash his shop.

Using a knife and fork to cut the steak on the plate, Nygma took a bite and nodded. "It tastes OK. If it were cooked more steadily, it would taste better. The quality of the meat is a little bit worse. 63 points."

"what?"

Pemora was confused and didn't know what it meant.

Miao Mu waved his hand, "Bring me a bottle of good wine. I remember you seem to have a red wine from Wayne Manor's 50th anniversary celebration. I'll buy it!"

"what!"

The confusion on Pemora's face turned into surprise. That was the treasure of his store, a kind of red wine specially released by the Wayne family's winery in the fifty years.

The starting price is 10,000 US dollars, and now it is even more...

Miaogi winked at him. Pemola was a little embarrassed, and Nygma was even more surprised. This treatment was a bit high.

"Well, just ordinary red wine will do."

And Naegi stared at Pemora and said in a deep voice: "I will give you three times the price, and I will owe you a favor when you add it up."

"...Okay!" Pemora agreed with gritted teeth.

The main reason was that Miao Mu said he owed him a favor. Regardless of whether it was money or not, these policemen were hired by him. If he didn't give him face, his store would be really finished.

Pemora ran towards the bar, and Nygma said a little embarrassedly: "Really, there's no need..."

Miao Mu raised her hand to interrupt him, "Edward, I will call you this. I will not miss any point when I treat you to a meal, otherwise it would be disrespectful. I like talented people, but you are different, you are a genius!"

"This..." Nygma laughed. Everyone likes to hear good words, especially someone like him who is arrogant but not recognized.

"If you treat me as a friend, don't refuse. You are an extraordinary person, aren't you?" Miaogi laughed.

Nygma also laughed, and he felt much more favorable towards Naegi. Yes, he was an extraordinary person.

Finally someone saw through it and recognized me.

"This is Wayne Manor's fiftieth anniversary."

Pemora came over with a bottle of wine wrapped in thick yellow paper, and also brought a decanter and a red wine glass.

The police officers around also stretched their necks curiously to look over here, wanting to see what the 50th anniversary celebration of Wayne Manor looked like.

Nygma felt these views and proudly straightened his chest forward, making himself sit more politely.

Perhaps this is the first time in my life that I have attracted so much attention and importance.

Pemora opened the red wine with a corkscrew, and the red wine, as rich as blood and with a faint fragrance, was poured into the decanter.

Miao Mu looked at the red wine, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. This was not wine, this was money! Real money!

But...it's worth it!

If you want to do something, do what others can't do. Damn it, Miaomu really doesn't believe that there is anyone who can be as willing as he is!

Money is something outside of your body. Spend it and earn it again!

Miao Mu comforted himself in his heart.

Holding the red wine, Nygma looked at the red wine in the glass, which was like a glass of rich blood, and said with some emotion:

"The less you have, the more precious it is—"

Nygma raised his glass and gestured to Naegi, clinking the two glasses together, "— Cheers to a friend!"

"Cheers to my friends!" Miao Mu also said with a smile.

He picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but when he remembered that this was his annual salary, his movements suddenly became elegant.

Sheriff Bullock, who watched the whole thing, shook his wine glass and fixed his eyes on Naegi.

He remembered one thing. When the Red Hood committed the robbery, an Arkham police car chased him. He happened to be on vacation during that time and had just returned.

I did see the police car. There were more than thirty bullet holes on it and a door was missing. It was enough to show how fierce the fight was. It was definitely not something those wimps could do.

As for the Special Operations Team's Fras...

Brock curled his lips in disdain, but he also looked up to Naegi and had a little more expectations.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The relationship between Nygma and Naegi was also brought closer by this glass of wine, and they became friends who could talk about anything.

"Edward, what kind of person is this puppeteer we are investigating?"

Miaogi asked while holding a fork and chewing steak. He really had no idea about this. After all, the most famous person for human body stitching was the Pig-faced Professor. So who was this puppet master?

I only vaguely know that there is such a villain, but I can't say anything specific.

"Doctor! A surgeon with good skills!" Nygma shook the wine glass slowly. He had taken off his glasses and his face was a little drunk, but his voice was sober.

"Tell me about it, your guess is definitely this!" Miaomu raised his thumb and gestured, making Nygma laugh.

"Do you remember that corpse? The suture scars on it, although they were stitched with metal thread, were definitely stitched by a doctor. They were so neat that it would take years of practice to achieve them."

As Nygma spoke, he drew on the table with his fingers, "Those idiots in the police station! They only saw the deformation of the corpses, but didn't realize that these corpses were being improved, each one more complete than the other, just like... just like..."

Miao Mu took over the conversation and said: "It's like he's upgrading. The puppeteer is practicing, practicing to make better things!"

Nygma clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You are a hundred times better than those losers in the police station, but... just a little worse than me!"

"No, no, you are a genius that I can't catch up with."

"Hahahaha." Nygma laughed.

But the faces of the policemen around were worse than each other. One called them trash, and the other called them trash. It was really annoying.

"That guy wanted to make something, something really great, and he was almost done. This body was drowned alive. His spine was broken and he fell into the water and drowned."

"Moreover!" Nygma's expression suddenly turned serious, "The spine of this corpse was broken by someone!"
