Great! I'm surrounded by villains!-Chapter 372 - 291: Younger Brother Mingyuan

Jiuyue was an epoch-making detective. She not only solved many bizarre cases but also brought changes to the industry, setting a new example for countless young people dreaming of becoming famous detectives. Among her contributions, her "Lucky Case-Solving Method" proved to the whole world that being a detective was no longer an unattainable career. As long as one was lucky enough, anyone could become a famous detective.

While formally trained detectives understood the background, Jiuyue leisurely took out a chicken leg from a disposable lunch box.

This baffled the crew members aboard the Saintfield.

"Mr. Mingyuan, this is..."

The security chief asked curiously after witnessing Jiuyue’s actions.

It was the first time in his life that he saw a detective pull out a chicken leg at a crime scene investigation.

Could this chicken leg help them find the murderer of the family head?

"This is a chicken leg."

Mingyuan was succinct.

"I know it’s a chicken leg, but what kind of chicken leg is this?"

"Red-braised chicken leg."

"Ah?" free𝑤ebnovel.com

"First, wash the chicken leg with clean water, put it in a pan to fry, and supplement it with scallions, ginger, garlic, and other condiments..."

"You mean, this is actually food?"

"We didn’t have time to eat dinner before rushing over here."

As someone who often worked overtime, Mingyuan had no issues, but Jiuyue’s ability to endure hunger was quite poor. As a Ruihu, she had hardly ever experienced hunger in her life.

The security chief went pale, seeing the stifled laughter among his subordinates.

Before Mingyuan boarded, he had boasted to them that the detective coming aboard was the universe’s finest, wielding some super cool investigative skills and having solved innumerable bizarre cases.

The security chief, of course, had heard of Mingyuan’s deeds and knew about his poor relationship with the Shan Clan People, but everyone had a different image of Mingyuan; and he was a fanatical mystery buff whose greatest hobby during his free time was reading detective fiction.

Thus, he had uncovered the highlights of Mingyuan’s abilities in the field of detection.

Mingyuan had played the role of a detective on Imperial Court, Mechanical Star, and Prison Planet, but these, compared to his other achievements, were too trivial and only spread within a small circle.

In the world of mystery enthusiasts, Mingyuan and Jiuyue were the contemporary Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

It’s just that...

This "Ms. Watson" seemed a bit gluttonous.

Everything in that plastic bag was food.

The security chief also had once treated his detective work very seriously, until through a series of brilliant deductions, he sent an innocent janitor to court, enthusiastically helping him get a 30-year conviction. Later, the real murderer even sent him a thank you letter, respectfully calling him the contemporary Mouri Kogoro.

No one wants to give up on their dreams.

Unless law enforcement agencies forcibly shut down your office and order you to pay the victim 200,000 in emotional damages.

It was at that moment that the head of security realized the biggest difference between reality and mystery novels.

In the real world, those who seemed to be criminals usually were criminals; only in novels would the real perpetrator turn out to be an inconspicuous elderly janitor, all for the sake of plot conflict.

"Mingyuan, my brother, there’s no doubt in my mind, I believe this is a case of murder,"

the head of security said.

Before the two of them boarded, he had already carefully investigated the corridor and the art studio three times, and it was he who revealed to Fu Ling all the various rumors about the sixth Saintfield.

"Do you know me?"

Duan Mingyuan was also somewhat baffled by this sudden enthusiasm. He had thought that given his reputation among the Shan Clan people, he would face numerous difficulties after boarding, which would complicate their investigation. However, he did not expect the reception by the head of security to be as if greeting a savior.

"Of course, there’s no one in the circle who doesn’t know you; your deeds at the Imperial Court have long been widely known,"

there was a gleam in the eye of the head of security, "to me, your method of simplifying the complex in case-solving impresses me deeply."

During a murder case involving a minister on Blue Star, Duan Mingyuan and Jiuyue did not run themselves ragged like mediocre detectives, being led by the nose with clues intentionally left by the murderer. Instead, amid the mystery, they resolutely went to a hot spring, where they met the real culprit and successfully advanced the case to the next stage.

As for why they went to the hot spring, opinions varied in the circle; some thought it was purely luck, while others called this luck a detective’s intuition.

As the old saying goes, a famous detective relies on 1% intuition and 99% sweat, but sometimes that 1% intuition is the most important.

Facing the enthusiastic explanation from the head of security, Duan Mingyuan became even more confused.

Why would the head of security on the Saintfield ship know about the affairs on Blue Star?

Moreover, according to him, he also knew quite a bit about the happenings on Mechanical Star and Prison Planet and he even mentioned a mysterious circle, of which these things were no longer secrets.

Jiuyue was happy that no one bothered her, so she could concentrate fully on dealing with the chicken legs.

She planned to eat three chicken legs tonight.

"I heard before that the Family Head, while he was alive, was very afraid of the art studio..."

"Ahahaha, time waits for no one; let’s not waste time here!"

The head of security raised his voice, awkwardly changing the subject. He gestured for his men to stay at their posts and not follow, leading Duan Mingyuan and Jiuyue toward the art studio alone.

Only when there were no others around, did he lower his voice and said, "Mingyuan, my brother, it would be troublesome for me if others knew about what’s being said behind the Family Head."

Duan Mingyuan had also noticed from the reactions of other security personnel that this was not yet a consensus among the crew.

"As you know, I enjoy mystery novels, so I am very sensitive to anything unusual aboard the ship... What you just said isn’t exactly accurate; to be precise, the elderly Family Head was very afraid of the art studio, but in his younger years, it was one of his favorite places to visit."

While speaking, the three of them arrived at the door of the art studio.

As the doors of the art studio opened before them, Duan Mingyuan understood what the head of security meant.

The art studio was resplendent, with its glorious history documented through various paintings, instilling pride in any member of the Saintfield family who visited.

This studio chronicled their rise from a group of refugees who had lost their homeland to becoming the rulers of the universe today.

"There used to be a portrait of the Family Head here too, but he ordered it to be removed. However, that happened before my time, so the exact reason is unknown to me."
