Lin Huai didn't arrive at the hotel where he and Chu Tianshu were staying until late at night. Along the way, he was thinking about how to imitate the victim, lost his mind, and when he regained his senses, he was already shocked by the scene in front of him.
"Wait, is this still the place I left in the morning?" Lin Huai stood at the corner of the street, looking at the hotel where many policemen gathered in front of him, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Why are there so many policemen here? It's because of the women's dress incident , or rather, in the short day I left, some artistic events occurred here... "
The light of righteousness is too dazzling. Lin Huaixu kept his eyes open and planned to walk back to his room along the foot of the wall in a very law-abiding posture that does not have to deal with this group of people...
Then…
He was strangled by the nape of fate.
Lin Huai: ...
"This is the kid I told you just now, that friend's foster child in our house, his younger brother. Yes, it's that friend, a mathematician named Cauchy." The blond-haired young man smiled heartily. "Isn't that right, Little Conan?"
Lin Huai: ...
He showed "It's just a short day, what kind of strange setting did you add to me", and won the appreciation and praise from the group of bearded patrolmen who looked like "the light of the right way" . After fidgeting and listening to many boring social expressions from these people, the bearded patrolman in the lead finally said: "Dear Mr. Winterlock..."
Lin Huai coughed at that moment.
"Thank you very much for your assistance to us today." The bearded patrolman said with emotion, "I wish you a smooth trip in Fog City in the next few days."
Chu Tianshu also took off his hat and saluted. During the movement, a strand of golden-brown curly hair fell on his cheek, and he looked a bit classically chic: "It is also my honor to contribute my own strength to the safety of the people of Fog City."
Lin Huai: ...
The patrolmen finally left, and so did the onlookers. Chu Tianshu still placed the palm on the back of Lin Huai's neck, gently pressing the latter's smooth skin: "Have you played enough today?"
Lin Huai: "I should obviously ask you this question."
"Let's go." Chu Tianshu put his hands back on his shoulders, "Go back to the room."
…
"...So you spent a day cracking down on this fountain murder case, and successfully became an enthusiastic citizen in the eyes of these patrols??" Lin Huai twitched his eyes, "What did you do during the afternoon we were separated? ?”
Chu Tianshu: "Visit, investigate, and find evidence."
Lin Huai: "... so someone caught it?"
"Before I rushed there, he had already fled in fear of crime. Of course, he might have been silenced, who knows." Chu Tianshu shrugged, "That man is a former manual sculptor who was snatched away by the factory. Business is running fast. It is estimated that for a while, I will not return to Fog City—at least I will not return to my home. If it were me, I would not go back... "
Lin Huai: "Oh... isn't that bad?"
Chu Tianshu: "So when I arrived at his house, I took out his money bag."
Lin Huai: "?!!"
Chu Tianshu took out a bulging purse and showed a wicked smile: "Anyway, he wouldn't dare to call the police."
Lin Huai twitched his eyebrows: "You, you help the police solve the case, isn't it just to take away the money from the families of those criminals?"
Chu Tianshu: "It's really smart."
Lin Huai: ...
Forget it, anyway, Chu Tianshu snatched the npc's battery car... No, he snatched the money bag back and used it to support him.
Lin Huai felt very at ease about this, but there was still a little worry on his face. Chu Tianshu saw his worry and asked him, "What are you thinking?"
Lin Huai: "Well, I found that there is one less spare tire to choose from."
Chu Tianshu:
"At first I thought, could you play the role of a pervert, and then find a way to bring me into the 'tea party', but now it seems that you are already a ray of sunshine." Lin Huai said blankly, "The backup plan is invalidated , now I have to do it myself to seduce other perverts to attack me... "
Chu Tianshu:? !
He stretched out his hands and fixed both sides of Lin Huai's head. He stared into the other's dark eyes, and said inscrutably, "What did you do behind my back this afternoon?"
... Through a series of exchanges, both Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu learned that the other party had gained a lot in this afternoon without him.
Lin Huai: "Can't you?"
Chu Tianshu: "No."
Lin Huai turned over and asked him, "Is it really not possible?"
Chu Tianshu glanced coldly at the corner of his eyes: "No."
Lin Huai: ...
"Hey, what are you doing! What are you doing!" Chu Tianshu looked helplessly at Lin Huai who lay on top of him and kissed him on the face, "Don't think that I can let you go with just this little bribe. Do such a dangerous thing, hey!"
Lin Huai handed out her short note, and Shi Shiran said, "You can only accept this level of bribery now."
Chu Tianshu: ...
"Arrogant, you are too arrogant." He gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, I will take you..."
Lin Huai said indifferently, "Oh."
Chu Tianshu: ...
"All in all, when facing this city, your first reaction is to blend in with the patrol team, try to illuminate all the works of art with the right light, and find traces of the tea party. This is your way of doing things." Lin Huai lay On the bed, put your hands behind your head, and push your feet into the air, "And start from the dark place, use a more exciting way, mix into the darkness, and stir the things in the dark side into sparks, this is what I do Way."
Chu Tianshu lay beside him, and he gave a vague "hmm", not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he grabbed Lin Huai's ankle: "Stop kicking, the whole bed is shaking."
Lin Huai: "Tch."
"You can't let me stay in the hotel alone, waiting for you to save the world." Lin Huai turned over. He was lying on the bed, with well-trimmed black hair falling on both sides of his forehead and cheeks, one side of his chin was propped up, his eyes were dark and deep: "And don't you think that while you are becoming famous in this city, I, as your Weakness, has the chance of being kidnapped increased?"
Chu Tianshu also lay on his side and looked at him. He stretched out his hand to pull Lin Huai's silk pajamas, covering his collarbone: "Who will kidnap Conan from Holmes??"
"Don't bother to talk about him." Lin Huai's face darkened, and he curled the corner of his mouth in displeasure, "How about it—"
He suddenly sat up and half-kneeled on the bed: "Let's split up and have a match. Let's see, whose method is more effective? Who can find the traces of those maggots earlier? Don't you think it's more interesting?"
With a serious attitude, Chu Tianshu also sat up. He seemed to think for a while, and when Lin Huai thought he still wanted to persuade himself, he heard Chu Tianshu say: "What if we hinder each other's plans because of objective rather than subjective reasons?"
He is seriously considering the contest between the two. Lin Huai smiled.
"Then let us each rely on our own abilities." He said lightly.
"Okay." Chu Tianshu also agreed very readily, "Then from today, we will split up and see which one of us is the first to solve the riddle of this witch."
As he said that, he reached out and clapped Lin Huai: "I won't hinder you, but I can't guarantee whether my own plan will have an objective impact on your plan in the process. Let's make a deal?"
Lin Huai stretched out his hand: "Wait, it's not fun without betting."
Chu Tianshu: "What bet?"
"Well... In this way, the loser should voluntarily take the winner to a place where the winner wants to go." Lin Huai thought for a while, then suddenly narrowed her eyes and smiled, "How about it?"
There seemed to be some crooked idea in his smile, and evil spirits were full of it. Chu Tianshu looked at him for a long time, and suddenly...
Lin Huai: "Huh?"
Then he saw that Chu Tianshu blushed, and coughed hard: "Well, well, okay, but let me tell you first, I don't want to go to any strange places!"
Lin Huai: "The person with the weirdest expression in this place is yourself!!!"
Lin Huaixu complained, while Chu Tianshu looked upright. After high-fiving, Lin Huai said again: "However, I need your help."
…
the next day.
People come and go on Seventh Avenue, the busiest street in Fog City. In the center, there is a tall wax figure, and on both sides, there are expensive dress shops, jewelry shops and perfume shops. Lin Huai pushed the sunglasses on his face and stepped into the avenue.
Behind him, followed by the boy from the hotel yesterday. The boy followed behind him, and said in distress: "Where's your brother? Why doesn't he accompany you today?"
"He went to be a friendly citizen." Lin Huai said.
Boy: "... what about you?"
Lin Huai: "I'm solving the case."
"Solve the case... what case?" The boy suddenly became excited, "You and your brother are both detectives?"
Under the sunlight, the handsome boy like a doll looked back at him. The boy's face turned red when he saw it like this.
The young man smiled at him, then stretched out his hand, shook the purse in his hand, and said lightly, "Come on, let's collect evidence."
Collect evidence! !
The boy who loves solving crime games became excited in an instant. Then, the boy said: "I need your help."
"Okay!" the boy said loudly, "I will be your assistant!!"
With the surging heart of becoming a famous detective assistant, the boy followed Lin Huai into the first clothing store.
boy:?
Lin Huai smiled at him.
"Our goal today is to find a suit that best fits the abnormal aesthetic," he said.
boy:? ?
This is probably one of the most famous dress shops in Fog City. The interior is classically decorated and brightly lit. Countless pieces of beautiful dresses are hung together layer upon layer. Half off-shoulder red and black polka dots, black gothic skirt, dark blue bloomers, and a slanted top hat with a black veil hanging down... The boy stared at the scene inside with dumbfounded eyes.
In the depths of the clothing store that they couldn't see, a man wearing a monocle stopped cleaning his glasses.
A cold silver light flashed on his glasses, and he looked at the beautiful young man who had just walked into the dress shop from outside.
The young man's appearance was so beautiful that it was impossible to distinguish between male and female. He was wearing a baroque male dress, and if he was a boy, he was fine. If it's a girl in men's clothes, that's fine too. Even compared to a simple girl, the gender-confusing, inorganic, puppet-like delicacy on his body brought him a stronger attraction.
He stared at the boy with a weird smile on his face.
"It's beautiful," he murmured. "Put on our dresses and keep this doll...preserved."
This man is the costume designer of this dress shop. All the beautiful dresses here are custom made by him alone. In addition to clothing design, he also has some small hobbies of collecting his favorite "dolls".
For beautiful teenagers and girls, the moment they put on new clothes is one of the most beautiful moments in their lives. The same is true for people relying on clothes and horses relying on saddles. However, compared with other designers who focus on using clothes to complement people, for him, all the design themes in his life revolve around clothes.
That is to say, for him, it is not the person who chooses the clothes, but the clothes choose the shelf that belongs to it!
Clothes dull, fade, wrinkle, rot and smell with repeated use. And people will no longer show their original beautiful appearance as the years grow. Men feel bad about it. therefore. In order to avoid such unpleasant incidents, he often finds a way to find his favorite hanger in the crowd. After they try on clothes, he makes these people into dolls, and then uses the dolls to make them try on clothes. , The most beautiful moment is preserved.
The man greedily looked in Lin Huai's direction. In his eyes, Lin Huai's body almost glowed.
Yes... This boy is the beautiful prey he wants!
He held his breath.
Lin Huai noticed that gaze, but his attitude was very calm—even though the posture he walked into this dress shop was no different from the posture he used to rob a bank and enter the bank vault. and…
He had come here for such a look.
Lin Huai considers himself very lucky—he spent the night thinking in bed yesterday, realizing that beautiful clothes and money worship seem to be a big source of danger. So early the next morning, he took Chu Tianshu's money bag and rushed to the most prosperous Seventh Avenue to buy beautiful clothes and show off his beauty for fishing.
Unexpectedly, the concentration of abnormalities in Wucheng was higher than he thought, and he met one as soon as he entered the shop.
That being the case, he didn't mind adding fuel to this gaze. In order to encourage this pervert to attack him as soon as possible, to be fished by him, and to become one of his spare tires in the sea.
Lin Huai frowned, glanced at these dresses that were similar to him, and then...
He picked up one of them.
"Is it nice?" he said to the boy.
What he held in his hand was a gothic black long skirt, the folds and hem of the skirt completely covered his whole body.
When he picked up the clothes, the eyes of the man in the distance froze.
... Yes, that's the kind of clothes. He thought, this dress is very slim, and the large black will completely cover the skin of this future doll. But the special design on the neck and wrist will let him reveal his own, that inch of white skin...
Abstinence and skin, at that moment, the most stark contrast formed, is a beautiful art!
The boy stuck for a moment and said, "It's pretty, but you..."
But you, aren't you a man? !
"Oh." Lin Huai's tone didn't change a bit. After a while, he grabbed the sleeve of the long skirt and tugged at it with a research-like gaze, and then...
"The sleeves are too long, the skirt is too long, it's too conservative, and my legs can't be exposed. Although it's tight, the black is too dull. No pervert will like black, a color that is ascetic and conservative." He said in several When the clerk tried to approach, he commented on the dress in a tone that a small group would report.
A few shop assistants:?
boy:?
The pervert hiding behind the shop: ?
Lin Huai put the skirt aside and pulled out another purple Lolita skirt. This skirt is made of velvet, with black lace decorations, and even two matching black velvet gloves. Lin Huai studied the clothes for a while, and said to the boy...
Lin Huai: "Do you think it's more sexy to wrap your hands in black, or to be naked?"
Boy: "Huh"
The boy could hardly believe his ears. He stared dumbfounded at Lin Huai's research for a while, and heard Lin Huai ask: "Is the purple too dark? Otherwise, why not find a brighter color?"
Lin Huai also threw the purple velvet skirt aside. The moment he threw away the skirt, the pervert in the distance showed a heartbroken expression again. After all, only he, as a designer, knows how beautiful their wrapped arms will be when the dolls wear this velvet skirt, and how fleshy and fleshy their jade-white calves will be when they wear this velvet skirt stop, what a beauty...
Then, Lin Huai took out another red dress from the shelf: "This...cheongsam?"
He frowned and glanced at the cheongsam, thought about it, and put it on the other side. At that moment, the pervert in the distance was almost on the verge of crying.
why! The pervert shouted in his heart, do you know how to pick clothes
Then, Lin Huai took out another off-the-shoulder dress with a red background and black polka dots from the pile of clothes. To be honest, the black polka dots on the red background are really eye-catching, but what Lin Huai values is that it can almost expose his entire shoulders and back... The pervert watched his movements and covered his face.
In this way, he was choosing in the dress shop. All of a sudden, the shop assistants around gathered here. It seems that they have been seriously overwhelmed by Lin Huai's aesthetics.
"... I heard," the boy heard a clerk whisper, "now some nobles will raise their daughters as sons. So when they grow up, they will buy a lot of weird... women's clothing..."
"I think he's a man," said another clerk.
boy:…
In the end, Lin Huai's eyes suddenly brightened.
He found a white lace dress.
Lin Huai: "Hmm... Don't underestimate the pervert's love for school flowers in white clothes, white cotton skirt... Well, I think this is indeed a good choice. What are you talking about?"
He looked at the boy who seemed to be muttering to himself, and said, "Do you have any suggestions?"
The boy stammered: "Although I don't know what you were talking to yourself just now, I always feel the way you were just now..."
Lin Huai:
Boy: "It's so perverted."
Lin Huai thought for a long time, and decided to dress with reference to literary works. He walked into the fitting room regardless of the fault of the villain.
In the fitting room, Lin Huai put on the white lace dress in front of the mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror, and felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked. He pondered about the women's favorite clothing of contemporary men, and then said to the shop assistant outside—
Lin Huai: "Excuse me, do you have white panties and stockings?"
Clerk:? ?
Lin Huai: "There are no white ones, black ones are fine."
Clerk:? ?
Lin Huai: "I also need a pair of white crystal sandals. If you don't have white sandals, pink ones are fine."
Clerk: "Huh??"
Lin Huai: "Or, do you have any winter outfits? A white coat, red scarf, yellow sweater, and blue boots, just like what Luo Ji's dream lover Zhuang Yan wears?"
Two hours later.
"It's almost there." Lin Huai said seriously, "The me now is the most attractive and most likely to attract perverted attacks."
"But I don't know why, when I just walked out of the fitting room, the pervert who had been looking at me disappeared..." Lin Huai rubbed his chin, "Is he hiding to attack me?"
boy:…
Lin Huai: "I'm perfect."
The boy looked at the yellow hairpin on Lin Huai's head, the white lace skirt, the pink lace jacket, the yellow belt, the white stockings, the white high-heeled sandals...
He was carrying a large and small shopping bag with a "..." look in his eyes.
"At this point, I can almost reveal my intention to solve the case to you," Lin Huai said solemnly, "I plan to dress up as the perverts here's favorite, beautiful girl..."
Boy: "I don't think they would like a girl dressed like this."
Lin Huai glanced at him: "You are too young to know that this is how adult men appreciate women."
"Although," he said to himself, blocking the sunlight above his head with his hand, "as a ghost and later a gay, there seems to be such a mess between me and the aesthetics of an adult straight man. The gap. But since the heroines in male novels all dress like this, then presumably, this outfit is the appearance of their favorite woman... "
boy:…
Lin Huai: "Tsk, the aesthetics of straight men are really strange. Fortunately, I am gay."
On the other side, Chu Tianshu, aliased as Sherlock Holmes, was walking along Seventh Avenue with the police.
"Recently, it seems that many beautiful girls have been attacked and disappeared. Their common characteristics are fair, beautiful, petite, and dressed in foreign clothes—from a certain angle, they look like dolls." The policeman said to Chu Tianshu Said, "Of course, this also includes some beautiful boys who are indistinguishable between male and female. Sometimes, these beautiful boys are more popular than girls in disappearance cases. By the way, I remember you have a younger brother, he..."
"He went out to play." Chu Tianshu said absently.
"You have to remind him to pay attention to safety." The patrol said, "Boys should also be careful when going out."
Chu Tianshu sneezed. He looked forward, in the distance, under the tree, there was a figure.
Chu Tianshu: "?? Where did Minnie from Mickey Mouse come from??"
