Silver Blade and Rose

He has always been serious about reading books, and in order to protect Edwin's well-preserved hardcover book, he also brought his own notebook, and did not write or draw on it.If you don't read it with the idea of ​​making up urgent lessons, the content of the book itself is quite interesting, but after reading the case, you don't have any appetite, and it's somewhat disgusting.

The so-called metamorphic creatures include many types, and the slime that often appears in video games is also one of them, but in reality it is a bit different from the artistically processed one.The reason why he chose this book to read was also because he had discussed with Edwin that the truth of the serial murders might not be human beings, but a deformed creature.

It can freely change into a human shape, without being restricted by the original body shape, and will not cause trouble to itself, because the shape used has nothing to do with its original appearance.Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the murderer is confident and does not worry that he will be caught.

The more he read, the more he felt that the murderer was probably a shape-shifting creature, but he was still not sure which one it was, so he could only ask Edwin with the book when he came back from the outside.Fortunately, Edwin didn't make him wait too long, and soon came back together with Elvins. The two got out of the taxi one after another. Edwin, who got out of the taxi first, seemed to have sensed it, and raised his head at the gate of the yard. He just happened to meet the eyes of Zars who was looking down from the balcony on the second floor.

Zals held the book in one hand, and waved the other hand slightly towards him, not ashamed to call him in the presence of the taxi driver.Edwin nodded, said something to Elvins, and stepped into the room first.

Two minutes later, Zales waited for Edwin at the door of the room.

"Muen said you need to find me?"

Edwin put the paper bag he was carrying on the cabinet casually, and asked while taking off his coat.

He looks like a pin-up mannequin in a classic plaid coat, but he looks inexplicably at home when he takes it off, befitting the large, empty bedroom.Zals was thinking wildly, but the question was still on his lips, and he handed him the book in his hand.

"Uriah," Edwin glanced at the open page of the book, not surprised he saw this, "do you think it might be this thing?"

"I just thought it was possible, so I wanted to ask you."

Zals lowered his head and touched his nose, feeling that he might have guessed wrong, and dared not give a definite answer.

"Since you think it is, then continue to look into it." Edwin didn't reach out to pick up the book he handed over, hung his coat on the coat rack, and changed the subject without changing his expression, "Look at this. "

As he spoke, he picked up the kraft paper bag with the logo of a certain big brand that he brought back just now, and handed it to Zals.

"See if you like it."

"Huh? For me?"

Zars took it with a question mark in his heart, and opened the box in the paper bag, which contained a simple watch.

Black leather strap, no extra decoration on the dial, only a circle of silver streamlined lines, the pointer is a simple and clean straight line, looks like a simple sword and its scabbard.He picked up the watch, touched the inside of the dial with his fingers, and after careful identification, he found that his initials were engraved.

"Your birthday is coming up," Edwin said. "An early birthday present."

Zals froze for a moment, remembered something, and quickly took out his phone to look at the calendar.

When he was interrupted by this sudden gift, he remembered that his birthday was two days later, and that day happened to be included in the plan of investigating the case. There have been too many things happening recently. If Edwin hadn't reminded him, his birthday Maybe he just forgot about it.

Seeing that the expression on his face changed from bewildered to dazed, Edwin said, "I knew you forgot."

In fact, he didn't know Zals' birthday, but Hannah mentioned it after lunch, and everyone found out that it was only two days later.Elvins suggested that he go pick out a gift for Zals, but at first he didn't think of what to give, and he wandered aimlessly for more than half of the mall before he caught his eye on the watch in the window.

Zals was a little embarrassed, and felt that the watch must be expensive, subconsciously said: "Actually—" "I can't refuse." Edwin immediately interrupted him.

Being guessed, Zales had no choice but to put it another way: "...I don't usually wear a watch."

"You can choose to keep it and not wear it, or you can start wearing a watch today."

Zars said helplessly: "How can you not wear it if you accept it..."

"Then wear it," Edwin said irresistibly.

He directly took the watch from Zals, untied it and put it on his left wrist involuntarily, held his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and commented: "I have good eyesight. "

The watch is of course good-looking, not to mention other factors, Zalls also likes it very much, but...

Forget it, since Edwin insisted on giving it to him, it was not an option to simply refuse.

He secretly kept the return of the gift in his heart, and finally accepted the birthday gift that was delivered in advance.
