The world's No.1 detective doll

Although this beach is very popular, it has not received much pollution around it, and there are many delicate and beautiful shells buried in the loose sand.

Yingzi squatted aside intently, observing the little crab that climbed up from the sea.

"Carl, don't go grab..."

"Squeak!"

"I told you not to grab it, look, your claws have been pinched."

Yingzi hugged Karl helplessly, saving him from the claws of the crab, which was no bigger than a fist.

"Squeak..."

The situation on Yingzi's side did not attract the slightest attention of Ranbu, he seemed to be completely immersed in his own affairs, unable to spare any energy.

Yingzi glanced sideways quietly, and saw that the other party was digging a hole on the beach with a shovel, looking extremely focused.

She tilted her head, as if she was thinking about the effect of digging the hole in disorder.

Ranpo isn't trying to play a prank on her, is it?

When she was young, Yushi and Kenya also did this kind of thing on the beach. When she was still wondering, the two of them pressed her into the pit and buried her.

Is it impossible to walk in disorder...

Seeing the smile on Ranbu's face, Yingzi became more convinced of Xin's thoughts.

What, it's obviously a child...

"Squeak."

"Karl don't bother Mr. Ranpo."

"squeak?"

Karl tilted his head in confusion, as if he didn't understand what Sakurako meant.

"It's a rare time to come, let Mr. Ranpo have a good time."

"Stupid Sakura—"

Is it dug up so soon?

It seemed that he really wanted to tease her.

"what happened?"

"Come here."

"squeak?"

"Shh-"

Sakura put her fingers on her lips, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her face was full of a soft smile.

"We found nothing."

"Hurry up!"

"Alright, alright, here we come."

Carl was put on the ground ahead of time, and now he followed Yingzi step by step, his fluffy tail flicking.

Unexpectedly, the famous detective with a childlike heart was indeed preparing for a prank just now, but his proud insight was useless at this time, and he didn't realize that the other party had already noticed it.

But Ranbu managed to press Yingzi into the sandpit he had just dug and buried her. The latter seemed to be completely ignorant of pranks, and perfectly fell into the trap of a famous detective.

"Mr. Ranpo..."

"Ahahahahahahaha——The idiot Sakurako is really an idiot, and she fell into the trap of this detective very easily!"

"Yes, yes, so can the lord detective let me out?"

The soft sand piled up like a small hill and pressed on Yingzi's body. She was only exposed above her chest and below her calves, and she couldn't do anything except move her feet a little.

Ranbu squatted down next to Yingzi triumphantly, tapped his chin a few times with his finger.

"Let this detective think about it, what request should I make this time..."

Sakura sighed, feeling a little helpless.

"Hmm... treat this detective to ice cream? This seems a bit too simple."

"..."

Sure enough, this is his real purpose, right?

"Does not restrict the detective's diet...?"

In the second after Yingzi's fierce eyes cast over, Luanbu changed his words in time, "Forget it."

Turning his gaze away to Karl who was watching the excitement, his eyes lit up in disorder, and then a smile spread infinitely on his face, and he looked at Yingzi who couldn't move.

"Stupid Sakura, learn what the kittens say, and this detective will let you out."

"……what?"

"Like a kitten, meowing and acting like a baby."

"what?!"

Just thinking about it made Sakura's face turn red.

Such a shameful thing...

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let Luanbu's plan succeed!

"No, no!"

"That idiot Sakurako will stay here forever."

"I……"

"Or, just learn how to meow a few times."

"This is too embarrassing!"

Luanbu didn't take it seriously, but stared at Yingzi's blushing face happily, "Isn't this kind of thing very simple? Why should I be embarrassed?"

"Carl is also very happy every day."

Carl: Thanks, I'm a raccoon not a cat.

"Ka, Karna..."

"Huh? What's Karna?"

"Anyway, it's different!"

"Hey~ that's it."

Luanbu rubbed his chin and raised his head to think for a while, "Then, let's treat this detective to ice cream."

"No! Mr. Ranpo, your snack intake has reached the standard today!"

"That idiot Sakurako will meow like a kitten~"

Damn!

"Hurry up, it will be dark soon, okay?"

"..."

Yingzi closed her eyes and was silent for a few seconds, as if she was doing mental construction.

It's just meowing like a kitten, nothing more.

Well, nothing.

"……Meow."

"Hey~ It's too quiet to hear."

Yingzi's face was already blushing to the point of bleeding.

"……Meow."

Luanbu smiled and put his ear close to Yingzi's cheek, "I still can't hear you."

Yingzi took a deep breath, "Meow meow meow! This is the way to go!"

"Ugh-"

The sudden increase in volume made Ranbu's ears buzz, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and rubbed his ears in dissatisfaction.

"Why is idiot Yingko so loud all of a sudden!"

"Didn't Mr. Ranpo say he couldn't hear you!"

"Hmm... hmph, for Yingzimaomao's obedientness, I will forgive you for once."

What, what a strange name for Sakurakomaomao!

Hearing what he wanted to hear, Luanbu was as satisfied as a child who got candy. He lifted Yingzi's head and rubbed it vigorously, and then pushed away the high pile of sand little by little.

"I got sand all over my body..."

Yingzi, who had finally regained her freedom, stood up, slapping the sand on her body with some dissatisfaction.

"It's the idiot Sakurako who is too stupid."

"……Humph."

"Squeak."

Carl: Don't tell me if you see through.

It was getting dark, but the people on the beach didn't plan to leave much, and even spread beautifully colored fabrics on the beach, sitting on it and waiting for something.

Yingzi tilted her head a little strangely, and when her gaze was wrong, she saw the notice board on the side.

"...Sea fireworks display?"

"what?"

No wonder everyone doesn't leave.

"Ah...it's such a boring thing again."

Ranbu obviously noticed the content on the notice board, and there was a hint of disgust in his expression.

"Hey?"

Hearing Yingzi's voice of disapproval, he turned his head, "Isn't it?"

"As for the fireworks, you can watch them at the Fireworks Festival and the Summer Festival, right? I'm usually obsessed with this kind of thing, it's a waste of time~ This time should be spent exploring all kinds of delicacies!"

"Hmm... What Mr. Ranpo said makes sense."

Yingzi tidied up their belongings and stuffed them into the satchel one by one, "But such a beautiful thing as fireworks always makes people yearn for it, and watching fireworks at the beach... will have a different feeling. .”

Luanbu bent down and picked up Carl who was beside him nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter what kind of thing, let's go back and eat now, the detective's stomach is going to be hungry..."

"Then Mr. Ranpo, go and change your clothes first, and we will go back after changing our clothes in a while."

"it is good--!"

The beach at night is indeed a bit cold, even if you change into the clothes you wear during the day, you will inevitably feel a little shivering.

The noise outside the locker room gradually became louder. After Yingzi changed her clothes and came out, there were a lot more people at the beach, and even a large dense area could be seen from a distance.

Are you here to watch the fireworks?

Will Ranbu not be able to find her?

There is a certain distance between the men's and women's locker rooms, and the original open space between the two locker rooms is also crowded with people. Sakura, who has lost the blessing of her abilities, can't see clearly in the dim night.

Luanbu was not the kind of person who would obediently stay in place and wait. During the time she was struggling, he might have gone somewhere.

Yingzi scratched her hair in annoyance and wanted to call Ranbu, but after opening the satchel, she found that the other party's was also with her.

"This is bad..."

People coming and going had smiles of joy and anticipation on their faces. Sakura stood on tiptoe, but no matter how hard she tried, all she could see were the shoulders of the people around her.

"Will there be something like a broadcast here to find people..."

She looked around and finally dismissed the idea.

How could there be such a thing by the sea.

I can only find it a little bit.

Towards where the men's locker room is located, the petite and thin girl walked with difficulty against the flow of people.

"Mr. Ranpo..."

"Mr. Ranpo—!"

"Carl!"

Yingzi's weak shouting was quickly drowned in the noise of the crowd, she looked around with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"It's just a change of clothes. Why are there so many people suddenly?"

Luanbu on the other side had already lost his way, standing in the crowd a little at a loss.

"I may not be able to eat the noodles now..."

"Squeak!"

"That's right. This detective is going to starve to death. I really don't know why everyone is so interested in this fireworks. Obviously, snacks are more valuable to appreciate and taste."

"Squeak!"

"Idiot Sakurako where are you—"

He walked randomly towards the open space in the opposite direction of the crowd, trying to make himself stand in a more conspicuous position.

"Hey, hey, idiot Sakurako—!"

"Ahhh, what a hassle."

Luanbu lifted Carl to his face and looked, "Carl, can you follow the smell to find it?"

"...?"

"Well……"

Ranbu looked a little frustrated.

"Stupid Sakura—!"

"Mr. Ranpo, where are you—"

The voices of the two people suddenly merged together amidst the noise, and they paused in disorderly steps.

Turning her head, it was Sakura who was trying to get out of the crowd.

"Got you."

"The detective is here!"

Ranbugao raised his arms and waved towards Sakurako.

"Ok?"

Yingzi turned around when she heard the sound, and she was standing in the open space not far away.

"Mr. Ranpo is standing there waiting for me! Don't walk around!"

"Hurry up!"

'boom--'

At the moment when the girl turned around, gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky, and various bright colors were reflected on the deep blue sea.

But at this time, Yingzi didn't want to watch the fireworks at sea, but hurriedly ran in the direction of chaotic steps.

Startled by the sudden sound, he subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and the fireworks illuminated his emerald eyes.

"Mr. Ranpo—"

Ranbu turned his gaze back to Yingzi not far away.

He was stunned.

The bright moonlight and the light of the fireworks intertwined to illuminate the beach, and the girl bathed in pure radiance was running towards him with her skirts in her hands, without distractions.
