Two-face detectives Chapter 4 "Second"

Ding-Dong.

In the middle of the night, the door chime suddenly rang.

"... what, at this hour..."

Saki, who was lying on her bed, whispered to herself in her dissatisfaction. She put her half-read manga on her bedside, and walked to the front door. She’s in a gray sweatshirt at the top and bottom.

Saki lives in a quiet land, about 30 minutes by train from her workplace. Her house is a single-story one. She thinks it troublesome to move up the stairs, so she chose it.

Both sides of the house are rice fields, and during the rainy season, she can enjoy the chorus of frogs every night. While listening to their voices, she immerses herself in enjoying her favorite manga, light novels, and games.

That quiet time was Saki Suzumori's moment of bliss.

"Yes?"

She answered and opened the door to find a woman wearing a dark green polo shirt. She seemed to be a courier. Her hat is pulled over her eyes, her glasses are on, and she holds a small cardboard box under her arm.

"Are you Ms. Suzumori? I have a delivery for you."

Hearing it, Saki made a dubious face.

"... I don't remember asking for anything in particular...?"

“Oh, is that so? This is your address, isn’t it ?

As the woman points to the paper on the cardboard box with her finger, Saki also drops her gaze there, but the letters are too small to read well without squinting her eyes. The moment Saki thinks so and brings her face closer to read it….

*Zap!!*

A strong stimulus ran through her neck, and she fainted. The woman caught her body firmly before her collapsing body hit the ground. After that, she put her hand to her own ear and said a few words.A figure appeared from the driver's seat of a truck waiting near her and the two of them carried Saki to the carrier.

"Don’t you have anything left?"

"Yeah, her living in the countryside helped me a lot. All the neighbors are elderly, so they probably don't realize it. I turned off all the lights in the house, and from her smartphone, I sent a message that said “Not feeling well, so I'll be absent from work tomorrow”.to her workplace."

"··OK."

“Now that the three of them will finally be there, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”

"..."

What a reliable and scary woman. A natural detective, no, a psychopath is she...

Thinking so, Nachino lit his favorite cigarette, opened the car window, and drove away with Nishiko in his passenger seat.
