It was unclear who decided it, but whenever Mya-mi was the victim of an "incident," she would ask Tu-mi for help.

This time was no exception. She ran up to Tu-mi with a look of panic, and blurted out, "Tu-mi-chan! Something terrible has happened!"

"What is it, Mya-mi-chan?" Tu-mi asked, looking at Mya-mi with great composure.

It was unclear who decided it, but whenever Mya-mi went to Tu-mi for help, Xiong-ji was always nearby.

"Yes, Mya-mi-chan, what happened?" Xiong-ji also asked with his usual innocent expression.

"It's like this..." Mya-mi said, taking out a card slightly smaller than an envelope and handing it to Tu-mi. "The recently active [Kaito (Phantom Thief) BeArs_eye] actually sent a pre-crime notice to my house..."

"Hey... is that real? A thief with such a lame name," Xiao Tan muttered to himself. "And he actually sends a pre-crime notice..."

"Yeah..." Feng Bujue said softly with a straight face, "The kind of guy who would do something like this..." He gave Xiao Tan a look, "Who do you think it could be?"

"Do I really need to say it..." Xiao Tan replied, his lips twitching, "The only BeAr in this class is Xiong-ji..."

Naturally, the other three didn't hear their whispers.

At this moment, Xiong-ji was looking at Mya-mi with a nervous expression, as if he knew nothing about the case, and repeated in surprise, "You... what did you say?" His expression turned serious, "Phantom Thief BeArs_eye... he targets young women's underwear and clothes, and sometimes even steals stationery and things from the trash can... An unforgivable thief!"

As he said this, he seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye, and looked up...

He was met with a sharp gaze.

"Eh? Why are you looking at me like that! Tu-mi-chan!" Xiong-ji immediately broke out in a cold sweat when faced with Tu-mi's "intense stare."

"You're BeArs_eye, aren't you?" Tu-mi said without hesitation, directly confronting Xiong-ji with her suspicion.

"N-no, that's not it..." Xiong-ji replied in a very sincere tone, "If it was me, I wouldn't use a name like BeAr, would I? It's way too obvious, no matter how you look at it, right?"

"Tu-mi-chan, maybe..." Mya-mi interjected, "Maybe you should take a look at the pre-crime notice first."

"Mm... okay." Tu-mi took the card and examined it closely.

At that moment, Feng Bujue and Wang Tan-zhi silently moved closer, coming up behind Xiong-ji and Tu-mi respectively.

Jue-ge was already prepared... as long as he saw even the slightest hint of Xiong-ji doing something stupid, he would immediately stop him.

"This is Phantom Thief BeArs_eye's pre-crime notice..." Tu-mi first turned the card over to look at the back, confirming that it was blank, before turning it back to the front and carefully examining it.

The pre-crime notice was roughly divided into two parts: The upper and left sides of the card could be considered the upper part, where a rectangular and a right-angled triangular area were painted in light blue. The top part was written in quite conspicuous and large English font—"BeArs_eye," while the left side was drawn with an orange, simply designed bear head logo (a hexagonal head, two semicircular ears, one open and one closed eye, and a round little nose).

As for the rest... the trapezoidal area in the lower right could be considered the lower part. There, five or six lines of words were written crookedly from top to bottom, with the content:

[To Mya-mi-chan~

I will be visiting tonight,

To take some things.

Number one wish: Underwear.

Number two wish: Clothes or stationery, etc.

Number three wish: If there are no items above, use other various things instead.]

"This guy..." Feng Bujue tiptoed, peered over Tu-mi's shoulder, and squinted at the contents of the card, thinking, "He's still being a little too obvious... luckily... he wasn't stupid enough to write his own name on it this time..."

"It's written in such detail." Tu-mi finished reading the contents of the card, holding the card in one hand and stroking her chin with the other, "Hmm... why does BeArs_eye specifically make a pre-crime notice for his crimes?"

Xiong-ji replied with a serious face, "Presumably it's because... seeing the victim's worried appearance makes him very happy... He's simply an unforgivable villain!"

"You shameless bastard..." Even Xiao Tan was cursing in his heart, "You're basically describing your own inner thoughts... and you know that's scummy behavior?"

He was now really regretting why he had shared his food with Xiong-ji earlier. Whether it was out of an instinctive mutual attraction between fellow sufferers, or out of a person's sympathy for a cute anthropomorphic cartoon animal... Xiao Tan had a feeling of being deceived...

"Speaking of which..." Tu-mi stared at the card for a few more seconds, frowned slightly, and commented, "This illustration is really disgusting... it has no aesthetic sense at all, it's just ugly... I can't believe he even has the nerve to send it out..."

"Eh?" Xiong-ji's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He seemed to have suffered a considerable blow, and said plaintively, "This is my confi...

Gya—lalala... ah..."

Before Xiong-ji could even start to say the sentence, two cat paws had already appeared on either side of his head. Just as he was about to say the key part of "This is my masterpiece," Feng Bujue stuck two cat fingers into his mouth, forcibly pulling at the sides of his cheeks, causing air to leak from his mouth, making it impossible for him to pronounce the words.

"What are you doing? Cat San-lang." Tu-mi looked at Jue-ge with a strange expression and asked.

"Ah... haha, it's nothing." Feng Bujue smiled, "I suddenly wanted to play a prank, hehe..." Even after saying this, he still didn't mean to take his fingers out of Xiong-ji's mouth.

"Is it really fun to put your fingers in that perverted bear's mouth?" Tu-mi continued, "Maybe you'll get perverted attributes if you get his saliva on you."

"Eh?" Xiong-ji could still make this sound with his current mouth shape.

"Oh... I almost forgot, you also have a history of voyeurism and violence." Tu-mi paused for two seconds, then added, "Maybe you're already a pervert."

"Yeah, it's hard to say... hahahaha..." Feng Bujue responded to Tu-mi's venomous attack with a wooden tone (usually referring to a lack of emotional investment when interpreting dialogue), and returned four fake, impossibly flat-toned fake laughs.

While laughing, he gave Xiao Tan a look. The latter understood and took a step towards him, helping him drag Xiong-ji away together...

Although Tu-mi and Mya-mi thought the three boys' behavior was a little strange, this was elementary school after all... meaningless fights between boys were a common occurrence. Therefore, they didn't mean to stop them, and just continued to study the pre-crime notice card.

...

Two minutes later...

Feng Bujue and Wang Tan-zhi dragged Xiong-ji, half-dragging, half-carrying, to the school's men's room.

At this time, there was no one else in the restroom, only the three of them.

"W-what are you going to do?" Xiong-ji looked at the Cat San-lang and Hayabusa Taro in front of him, his face covered in sweat. "Are you going to fight me?"

"I won't beat around the bush with you..." Feng Bujue didn't answer the other party's question, but went straight to the point. "Xiong-ji-kun, Phantom Thief BeArs_eye... is you, right?"

"Eh?" Xiong-ji took a half step back. "N-no, that's not it. I told you it's not me."

"Don't worry, we won't expose you." Jue-ge said with a smile, "We're not going to call the police either..." Saying this, he turned to look at Xiao Tan and said, "Right? Hayabusa Taro."

"Ah? Ah... that's right." Xiao Tan seemed a little absent-minded.

At this moment, he was also silently analyzing the current situation in his mind: "Since the system prompt and transition haven't arrived yet, it means that this [Phantom Thief BeArs_eye] incident hasn't ended. What should we do next... are we going to wait until night and ambush Xiong-ji near Mya-mi's house? Also... after the main quest failed last time, the system didn't give us a 'one-hour rest period'. Did I make a wrong guess from the start, or did the system cancel the rest period after the difficulty increased..."
