"Wh-what's wrong..." Wang Tanzhi squinted, looking askance at Brother Jue.

"Not bad..." Brother Jue said, "Haven't seen you in a few days, and this bird-man's already learned deduction?"

"What are you saying~" Xiao Tan replied loudly, but the next second, his voice lowered again, "Well... although I can't really argue with you calling me a bird-man right now..."

"Heh..." Feng Bujue shrugged and smiled, "Actually, I wanted to say... Xiao Ling seems to have taught you quite a few things..."

"Hehe... not bad, right..." Xiao Tan turned his head, revealing a rather shy smile, and scratched his face with his wing.

Feng Bujue stared at Xiao Tan with dead fish eyes and continued, "The sour stench of romance emanating from you has already triggered the Zhenqi in my body. I suggest you adjust your expression, or I'll have to use Meow Style Qigong."

"Meow—"

Just as the two were talking, another scream suddenly came from the other side of the classroom.

"Tch... here it comes again?" Feng Bujue looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw Meowmi crying as she ran toward the back row, a letter in her hand.

"Rabbitmi-chan!" Meowmi ran to Rabbitmi's desk, sobbing as she said, "Some nasty stalker wrote me a letter!"

"What did you say?" Rabbitmi looked at the other party intently, responding with a concerned tone.

"Ah!" Xiong Ji, who was sitting next to her, also chimed in, similarly responding with a look of concern, "How could anyone do such a thing to my favorite Meowmi-chan! Unforgivable!"

"Yeah... every time this guy says something like that with righteous indignation... I get the feeling that 'Maybe he really didn't do it this time?'..." Feng Bujue looked at Xiong Ji and muttered, "But... the merciless reality has repeatedly launched a heavy blow against my [Bleep—], making my [Bleep—] hurt like hell."

"It's a gag manga world, after all..." Xiao Tan also lowered his voice and said, "Xiong Ji's behavior pattern itself is the biggest tsukkomi, right..."

Before the two could finish speaking, Rabbitmi had already taken the letter from Meowmi's hand, unfolded it, and read, "To Meowmi... tonight I'm going to sneak into your room~ Huhu huhu huhu huhu huhu~ Xiong Ji."

After reading the letter, Rabbitmi silently put it down and took out her phone...

"Wait!" Seeing this, Feng Bujue immediately shouted and stepped forward to stop Rabbitmi from taking further action.

"What's wrong? Cat Saburo?" Rabbitmi asked.

"I want to confirm something..." Brother Jue said, "Rabbitmi-chan... you weren't thinking of calling the police, were you?"

"Yes." Rabbitmi replied, "Of course, I'm going to call the police."

"Before things are cleared up, recklessly calling the police like this..." Feng Bujue's expression turned stern as he looked directly into Rabbitmi's eyes and asked with a commanding aura, "...is that really okay?"

"Oh?" Rabbitmi looked suspicious and replied, tilting her head, "Isn't the truth of this case obvious enough?"

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Feng Bujue had been waiting for these words. He took the opportunity to squeeze out a low, cold laugh from between his teeth and said, "It seems... 'Detective Rabbitmi' is nothing more than this..."

The next second, before Rabbitmi could say anything, Xiong Ji exclaimed in his usual manga narration style, "Wh-what! How could you say such provocative words to Rabbitmi-chan... just who is this man..."

"Just a peeping tom and a violent man." Rabbitmi's tone was calm as ever. "You sure have a big mouth."

"Uh..." Feng Bujue couldn't refute that label, since he had confessed to it "yesterday."

Fortunately, Rabbitmi didn't continue the ad hominem attacks indefinitely. She then said, "Then tell me, what else is wrong with this case?"

"Hmph..." Feng Bujue sneered, holding up a cat finger, "Suspicious point number one... is the signature on this letter."

"What about the signature? Isn't it just Xiong Ji?" Rabbitmi didn't even glance at Xiong Ji, nonchalantly saying, "Isn't it perfectly normal for him to do such perverted things?"

"Eh?" Xiong Ji wore a wronged expression and said, "That's not true... I'm not a pervert... although I occasionally feel a strange excitement when I expose my lower body in public, I'm not a pervert. Even if I am a pervert, I'm a gentleman with the name of pervert..."

"Hey... this case hasn't been settled yet, so don't actively expose crimes like public indecency, okay..." Even Xiao Tan couldn't stand it anymore. "We're doing everything we can to get you off the hook here..."

"Alright, let's not talk about topics unrelated to this case." Feng Bujue cleverly interrupted them and said to Xiao Tan, "Hayataro, if Xiong Ji says anything else out of line, smear his bear face."

"Yes." Wang Tanzhi solemnly replied and immediately cast a sharp gaze at Xiong Ji.

Under this "Falcon's Gaze," Xiong Ji involuntarily took half a step back and stopped speaking for the time being.

"Listen carefully, Rabbitmi-chan." As Feng Bujue spoke, he took the letter from Rabbitmi's hand with a very natural movement. "As a detective, when handling cases, you must consider all the details... you can't be blinded by superficial phenomena." He raised the letter and smiled. "Tell me... would any stalker in this world be so stupid as to write their real name on a harassment letter?"

"Hmm..." Rabbitmi thoughtfully mumbled, "If there was someone like that... it would probably be Xiong Ji."

"Tsk tsk tsk—" Feng Bujue waved his finger, making a cheap "tsk tsk" sound, "Rabbitmi-chan, don't prioritize individual cases... at this moment, we should at least consider... those more probable assumptions."

*Puchi*—

As he spoke, Brother Jue heavily slapped the letter on the table, but because cat paws have paw pads, slapping the table didn't make much noise: "Take the peeping tom case I committed yesterday as an example. Since I can imitate dog barks to disrupt the search, then why can't the culprit this time... add Xiong Ji's name to the letter... to frame him?"

"So you did it." After hearing Brother Jue's words, Rabbitmi replied expressionlessly and picked up her phone again, preparing to call the police.

"Hey—I'm just using myself as an example to analyze the problem for you! How did you come to that conclusion?" Feng Bujue quickly stopped her. "And... your one-handed dialing technique is way too practiced, isn't it? Do you like calling the police that much?"

"Yes." Rabbitmi admitted without hesitation, "One of the reasons I became a detective is because I really like reporting cases."

"Let's figure out the case first before calling the police!" Feng Bujue roared.

"Alright." Rabbitmi closed her phone again. "Continue."

"Suspicious point number two..." Feng Bujue looked at the letter again. "Speaking of which... is this letter really sent by a stalker?" He poked at the letter with his cat paw a few times. "Content like 'Tonight I'm going to sneak into your room' could also be written by a thief, right?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, even Xiao Tan was stunned.

"This kind of thing is very common, right?" Feng Bujue spread out his paws. "Like Kaitou Kid, the Cat-Eyed Sisters, etc.... don't they all like to send pre-emptive notices before taking action?"

"Which dimension of phantom thieves are you talking about..." The spirit of tsukkomi flowing in Xiao Tan's blood was obviously stirring again.

Rabbitmi, on the other hand, seemed to accept this setting: "That seems to make some sense... but what's with the 'huhu huhu' giggling in the notice?"

"It means 'I'm sure to get it'," Feng Bujue replied without thinking.

"I see," Rabbitmi said, nodding.

"She actually believed him!" At that moment, the Wang Tanzhi inside Xiao Tan had already fallen to the ground.

"Hmph... that's right, isn't it?" Feng Bujue laughed. "Compared to... 'a sexual harassment letter written by Xiong Ji', 'a theft notice disguised as a sexual harassment letter written by a phantom thief pretending to be Xiong Ji' is obviously more logical, isn't it?"

"That's logic that's been fed to a dog, then pooped out by the dog, and then eaten again twice, right?" Xiao Tan mentally retorted violently. "Let's just call it 'Double-Dog Logic'!"

"I understand..." Rabbitmi looked at Brother Jue and said, "It seems you're not just a simple peeping tom and a violent man. The famous Detective Cat Saburo of Beast Elementary School really lives up to his name."

"Hehe... thank you for the compliment." Feng Bujue smiled slightly and rubbed the fur on his head.

"Then, let's treat it as a theft case." Rabbitmi turned her head to look at Meowmi beside her. "Meowmi-chan, please cooperate with the police tonight to catch the phantom thief." Saying that, she picked up her phone again and started calling the police.

"Eh?" Meowmi was already dizzy from what they were saying. "Even if you say that... there's nothing in my room that a phantom thief would target, right?"

"Meowmi-chan." Feng Bujue kept a straight face and quickly flashed in front of Meowmi. "In order to uphold the fairness of the law and punish those despicable thieves... please don't mind the details."

"Ah... uh... okay," Meowmi replied somewhat blankly.

[Successfully disrupted the investigation of the "stalker letter" incident]

[Special script additional skill value reward 200]

[Xiong Ji's hatred towards you +2%]

At that moment, three consecutive system voices entered the ears of the two players. However, what they heard was slightly different. Xiao Tan's skill value reward was 50 points, and Xiong Ji's hatred towards him only increased by 1%...

[Three days later, afternoon.]

Just as Feng Bujue was pondering..."how the 'Xiong Ji's hatred' thing is set up," the scenery in front of him changed.

Once again, a sudden scene change caused Brother Jue and Xiao Tan to appear side by side on the school's playground.

"This is really fucking tiring..." Feng Bujue immediately took a breath. "It's several times more tiring than real deduction, you know..."

"I feel like this is just some random bullshit..." Xiao Tan said.

"Oh?" Feng Bujue glanced over, revealing a sly smile. "That's good... for the next incident, I won't say anything, and you can 'bullshit'."
