As he spoke, he peered around cautiously, "It must be a false alarm, right? After all, you wouldn't... what's that smell?"
The short detective also caught a whiff of the strong scent of gardenias. He gestured with his hand and said, "Can we come in and have a look around?"
Watanabe Shun cursed internally at the person who reported him, meddling in even such matters. Didn't they know how many people sell themselves every day? Why didn't they report the regulars instead of him?
Without much time to think, he could only feign a smile and say, "Let's just leave it. I'm not quite decent right now... False alarm for sure, nothing to worry about."
The tall detective gave Watanabe Shun an up-and-down glance. Being in the profession, he could easily tell that Watanabe Shun was lying.
But in consideration of their colleague relationship, he decided to do him a favor, "Alright then, maybe it was a false alarm."
