Ding-dong!
The door opened a crack, and Daniel's bespectacled head poked out for a look.
A police badge was pressed right up against his face.
"Hello, Mr. Daniel. I received a report that several masked strangers have been staying here. Is that true?"
Holding up his credentials with a stern face, Miao Mu flashed the police badge before Daniel's eyes, then put it away.
The unmistakable air of a professional police officer made Daniel frown awkwardly. He already knew who this was about.
Other than his old comrade Rorschach, there was probably no one else who would get chased down and questioned by the police. Daniel was used to it by now.
After all, Rorschach could only come to him. Still, if Rorschach came through the front door, Daniel would have to replace the lock again.
Because every time Rorschach came, he said, "For your own safety, you should get a better-quality lock."
But... every time, Rorschach was the one who broke it.
"Very well, Officer. You may have misunderstood. There are no masked strangers here. The only people in this house are me, my wife, and our daughter, who isn't even three months old yet."
Daniel spoke seriously, exactly like the head of a household dealing with trouble—such as the police.
Miao Mu nodded understandingly and casually snapped his fingers. "No problem. May I take a look inside? Just a quick look!"
"Uh, all right."
Daniel had no choice but to nod. There was no one else in the house anyway.
"I hope you can keep your voice down. The baby just fell asleep, and I really don't want to have to soothe her again. It's too difficult."
Daniel said with a blissful, helpless smile as he pulled the door open.
At the same time, underground.
