"It lies in the infrared rays!" September said triumphantly, holding up a finger.
"Infrared rays?" Ryusei looked at September, confused.
"You idiot." September mercilessly belittled Ryusei and continued, "The reason why the infrared rays weren't detected before was because the layout of the infrared rays was flawed; one could pass through the infrared rays by using body coordination."
"That's right!" Ryusei suddenly realized.
"Heh heh." September smiled triumphantly. "So, this time, you just need to encrypt the infrared rays to the point where even a fly can't fly in, won't that work? Once September Days comes in, won't she be easily detected by the infrared rays?"
"Xiaoxue, you really are..."
"It's a small matter." September smiled and covered her mouth, thinking that it was fortunate that the Sixth Sense didn't increase intelligence; Ryusei was still that same Ryusei, still an idiot.
Fujino looked at September speechlessly. Doesn't her conscience hurt from bullying an idiot? Although she herself had bullied Ryusei quite miserably, well, well, she would just watch the show~
Alice, however, was in high spirits, looking forward to Ryusei's performance tonight, or rather, the sight of Ryusei returning empty-handed tonight.
"Your method is really good." The manager of the security company where the cat's eye gem was located looked at Ryusei's proposal and couldn't help but nod. Previously, upon learning that September Days might target his company, he had been in a state of panic. Now, seeing this idea from Ryusei, he couldn't help but feel it might be of great use, so he decided to hire Ryusei to catch September Days, who could arrive at any time.
"Yes, there is one more thing. For safety's sake, I will introduce you to a friend." The manager stood up from his chair and led Ryusei to a reception room.
"This is it. Go in and talk to her yourself."
After saying this, the manager left first, his mouth twitching slightly. He was swamped with the September Days matter and had many other things waiting for him to handle.
"Hello there~"
Ryusei was just about to open the door to the reception room, but before his hand even touched the doorknob, the door opened by itself, and a flashy man wearing a white suit with a red shirt inside walked out.
"You must be my partner this time~ Nice to meet you. I am the legendary invincible detective known as the 'Crime Buster,' Qi Xiaosai~"
As he spoke, he struck a flashy pose. A few black lines appeared on Ryusei's forehead; how did he get the feeling that this guy in front of him, who claimed to be an invincible detective, was so unreliable?
"Let's shake hands." Qi Xiaosai naturally extended his hand.
"Uh, okay." Ryusei thought for a moment and also extended his hand to shake Qi Xiaosai's.
A gleam flashed in Qi Xiaosai's eyes, but it was well hidden and went unnoticed by Ryusei.
No Seventh Sense, but the Sixth Sense had already been activated. How interesting. The files clearly stated that he was just an ordinary person, yet he had actually activated the Sixth Sense. There was definitely a secret here.
Soon, Qi Xiaosai released Ryusei's hand and smiled at him, "You are Ryusei, right?"
"Yeah." Ryusei nodded.
Qi Xiaosai leaned against the wall, one hand resting on his chin. "Hello. None of the cases I've taken on have ever failed, and today won't be an exception. Combining with your plan, we will definitely be able to arrest September Days."
"Here, take this. It's for self-defense; it's very useful in critical moments." Qi Xiaosai pulled a revolver out from his clothes.
"A-a gun?!" Ryusei was shocked. The scene of being shot dead by Fujino previously appeared in his mind again. Although it was just a joke, it was all too real for Ryusei. However, having opened the Sixth Sense and gone through training by Sakuya and Fujino, Ryusei's endurance had improved significantly. Still, his face remained somewhat pale, and his hands trembled slightly as he took the gun handed to him by Qi Xiaosai.
Qi Xiaosai didn't pay too much attention to Ryusei's reaction. Although Ryusei's reaction was a bit large, Qi Xiaosai could understand; it was probably his first time seeing such a thing as a gun.
"Don't worry, this gun won't kill anyone; it's just loaded with mild anesthetic rounds."
Turning around, Qi Xiaosai said proudly, "Heh heh! Today, September Days is destined to fall into my hands. It will just happen to help me set a record of 1,000 consecutive solved cases!"
"..." Unlike Qi Xiaosai, Ryusei fell into silence. If he caught September Days today, he could use the bounty to gain his freedom and return to his former self. However...
Ryusei sighed deeply, ignored Qi Xiaosai, and walked out onto the balcony alone.
"Is this what you call confusion? How interesting." Asagami Fujino waved her hand, and the image in front of her vanished. She looked at September Days, who was beside her: "Have you decided to ask me to make a move? Ryusei has activated his Sixth Sense; in terms of raw strength, Ryusei is stronger, but in terms of experience, he is no match for you now."
"Who do you think I am? I am September Days!" September Days said confidently.
"Hehe, I'll welcome you to ask for my help whenever you want~"
"I won't!"
"September Days is so cute Come here Give me a kiss!"
"Go to hell!"
