Daozuma City, Baiweiju.

A young man with reddish-brown hair sat on the table and kept shaking the pocket watch in his hand out of boredom. He looked very lazy, but his eyes would stare at the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Uncle Zhenghong, the boss of Baiweiju, pretended not to see the boy and just wiped the bowls and cups.

Uncle Masahiro seems to have been used to this uninvited young man, and now he can completely ignore him and sit at his dining table.

If it had been in the past...I would have chopped it off with a knife...Hey, things have changed.

Thinking of this, Uncle Masahiro just finished wiping a cup and had time to take a look at this young man with a relaxed manner.

This little guy...

There's nothing I can do about it, why is his character so appealing to me?

"Uncle, why do you feel like you don't have many guests here today?"

As if sensing Masahiro's gaze, the young man grabbed his pocket watch with a snap and spoke without looking back.

"Haha... That's because today's portion was sold out earlier. I told you that the portion is limited. If it's sold out, you have to wait until tomorrow."

"so..."

The uncle put down the rag and threw an empty cup on the dining table.

"So no matter what you want to eat today, I won't cook it."

Snap!

The young man stretched out his hand handsomely, but unfortunately the empty cup hit him perfectly on the head.

"oops..."

After failing to be cool, the young man turned around angrily, looked at Uncle Masahiro, and said with some embarrassment: "We have distinguished guests coming this time, and I can't think of any other place in Inazuma City to entertain them, so I can only

Let me lead you here, uncle."

Having said this, the young man blinked his eyes and continued to speak: "None of them are locals of Dazu. If there is any Dazu delicacy that can attract them, it is you."

"..."

Hearing these flattering words, the uncle just threw another empty bowl very calmly, but this time the boy who was on guard caught it.

"Hehe~"

After successfully catching the thrown object, the boy was a little happy and beaming with joy.

"Hingzang, I have to tell you...this time is not safe right now. It is true that Tianling Zongxing is behind you, but Tianling Zongxing is not 100% safe."

Seeing the appearance of this auburn-haired boy, Uncle Masahiro finally sighed and said helplessly.

"It's not peaceful in Inazuma City recently, I know for sure."

Hearing this, Shikanoin Heizo just nodded very calmly to indicate that he knew, and then said indifferently: "But in the final analysis, I am just an ordinary Tianling follower of the expedition, no matter how big it is,

No wave can catch me."

"If it were before, I really wouldn't be able to get you involved..."

It seemed that Heizang had already guessed what Heizang would say. As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Masahiro said leisurely: "But obviously, you found out about those [distinguished guests]... and you should know it too.

Something."

"..."

Hearing this, Shikanoin Heizo smiled, and then jumped down from the table.

"That's right. If I hadn't done a little research out of curiosity, I really wouldn't have known that Tianling Fengxing and Wending Fengxing had made such a big noise."

He took out his pocket watch again. The hands on it were slowly turning and stopped at exactly seven o'clock in the night.

Crunch~

At this time, the door of Baiweiju was slowly pushed open, and Ningzhe and Abedo walked in one after another.

"Wow! You guys are really on time. It happens to be this hour."

Seeing Ningzhe and Abedo arriving at this place, Lu Yeyuan Heizang seemed very happy, but after taking a closer look at the door, he was a little confused.

"Master Ningzhe and Master Abedo...well, why didn't Master Wendy come?"

He remembered that he hadn't invited these three masters. Why didn't he see the musician now?

"Hmm... You are the [detective] who left the message, Shikanoin Heizo, right?"

Not choosing to answer him immediately, Ningzhe looked at him and asked a question.

"Ah, yes, it's me."

Hearing this, Heizang nodded very honestly, without any tricks.

"Wendy doesn't have free time to go out because he has to adjust his instruments...but you will see him again in the second session."

Seeing this young man's cooperation, Ningzhe raised his eyebrows, then spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Is that so... is there something wrong with the instrument? I know a lot of craftsmen with good workmanship. They are in Inazuma City. Do you need me to contact you..."

"No need, he is a very good craftsman himself..."

"That's it...Okay then, but I'm very satisfied to see the two masters."

The auburn-haired boy smiled, really like a boy who saw his idol.

For some reason, Ningzhe seemed to see his own shadow in this young man named Luyein Heizo. Once upon a time, he was also a young man with such an open-minded personality.

but...

Since there is his own shadow, it means that this young man who calls himself [Detective] has something to say...

"I have to say, your taste is indeed very good. I also like this [Baiweiju]."

Ningzhe turned to look at Masahiro, nodded with a smile, and then looked at Kanoin Heizo, agreeing very much with his aesthetics.

"..."

Hearing this, Heizang narrowed his eyes subconsciously, but he quickly covered it up.

"I didn't expect that Master Ningzhe also likes Baiweiju? I have to say that I grew up living in Daozhu, and only Baiweiju has always been on my dining list."

Heizang touched his head and said with a somewhat honest smile.

"You mentioned my paintings in your letter... Since you can appreciate painting skills, you must have a basic understanding of [painting]."

At this moment, Abedo, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Of course, I often use painting to record clues when I usually explore. Over time, I have a basic understanding of painting."

Facing Abedo's sudden question, Heizang looked as usual and answered flawlessly, with no flaws at all.

"hehe..."

Seeing the young detective's reaction, Ningzhe smiled and then gave Uncle Zhenghong a look.

After receiving the signal, Zhenghong nodded silently, and then walked into the kitchen.

"..."

The moment he saw Zhenghong leaving the scene, the smile that had been hanging on Heizang's face suddenly stopped. At the same time, Albedo and Ningzhe both looked at him, with smiles on their lips.

"Okay. We now know that you are worthy of the title of [Inazuma's Best Detective]."

Ningzhe crossed his arms and looked at Luyein Heizang with a smile.

"But... there is no need to continue acting. If you get any information, just tell me directly."

"Tsk... Well, it seems you already know me."

Seeing the showdown between Ningzhe and Abedo, Luyein Heizang stopped pretending, jumped back and sat on the table.

"One is a big shot from Liyue, and the other is the chief alchemist from Mondstadt... I have to say, your combination is really scary."

"But you shouldn't be my worry..."

After returning to normal, Heizang's expression became extremely dull, and his eyes shone with light.
