Looking at the neatly written request, Detective frowned slightly in annoyance. He finished the last of his tea and walked up the staircase slowly to the study. Judging from the amount of noise emitting from beyond the door, Yun apparently had not finished his rambling. Sitting down in his chair, the boy detective arrived just in time for Yun’s dramatic pose that always wraps up his speech.
“…and so, that is how I, the great warrior of Hua, arrived at Sentoral!” exclaimed Yun, looking at Detective expectantly. “Well?”
To unlock the case...
“I have a new case,” stated the boy flatly. “A case that you were supposed to retrieve from the drop-off box and put on my desk this morning, assistant.” Detective followed his words with a glare directed at Yun. Yun remained stuck in his pose, unable to process Detective’s words. “Anyway,” continued Detective, “this case is from a Miss Fey Line. She requests that the agency conducts an investigation surrounding an item that came into her possession. Apparently, the item is named Paddington.”
“Paddington!?” Yun interrupted the boy detective suddenly. “Why, I know everything about this cute little fellow all the way from Darkest Peru,” the assistant/bodyguard exclaimed excitedly while pointing to the battered teddy bear that he produced out of thin air.
Did he just pull a stuffed bear from nowhere? Wondered the boy detective.
Yun proceeded to reveal more information about Paddington. “Paddington is the beloved, polite immigrant bear in children's literature. Created by Michael Bond, the Paddington books are translated into many languages, spreading Paddington's adventures far and wide. Intrigued by this little stuffed bear at a supermarket one day, I decided to launch an investigation about teddy bears and get my hands one of these legendary Paddington toys!” Yun looked over to the detective’s desk expecting a compliment for his wisdom, but only found it unoccupied by the boy. Stepping closer to the desk, Yun saw a note left there by the detective and yelled in exaggerated sorrow.
Detective walked down the stairs with a faint smile on his face and a cup of hot tea in his hand.
