Detective Zen

A Different Year

Detective Zen was curious about what appeared in the paper, as the title made him very shocked.

"The disappearance of a famous detective who reportedly died without a trace." The contents of the title in the newspaper were accidentally read by a Zen detective.

Also below is a photo of Zen detective who was wearing his legendary mask at that time, detective Zen just took the newspaper and he read the news there very carefully until the metal was wide and he clenched both hands tightly, he said, he was very angry and felt so annoyed with the person who had dared to make a fake news about him like this.

Detective Zen also began to realize why the previous bookstore keeper man thought he was dead and was so shocked when he saw him back then.

"AISHH...It's worth it that you were so scared when you saw me, so because of this news you thought I was dead?" Zen's detective said to the man's maid and immediately got a nod of his head from her quickly.

"I'm sorry my Zen detective I just don't know any truth, forgive me," said the guard, looking very scared now.

Detective Zen immediately exhaled to regulate the emotions within him after learning about it which made him very angry, but he still has other interests that are far more important than the affairs of fake news, and he still needs the help of the bookstore keeper to help him find out about the mysterious book he's looking for right now.

But just now the Zen detective set his breath and tried to control the emotions inside him, instead he saw again the year of publication of the newspaper including the news in it and he was very surprised to see the year of its launch has been missed three years, since he was reported missing.

"Huuhh..patient patience I should be able to control myself in important moments like this, don't waste Zen's time," the inner Zen detective who tried to hold back his emotions.

"Aishh.I can't! And what is this 2010? Huh... Why does this newspaper look so shrimp if it's only been released this year?" Ask detective Zen to the guy there.

"Sorry detective Zen but this already knows 2013. And that was the old newspaper I was about to throw away," the man replied which made detective Zen instantly widen his eyes so wide and so shocked at that moment.

"What's? 2013? Heh are you crazy huh this is still stupid 2010, how could it have changed years that much I just a few weeks disappeared!" Jerk the Zen detective who still can't accept all that.

And the man just stared at the confusion mixed with fear of the Zen detective at that time because he knew clearly that this is the year 2013 not 2010 as expected by the Zen detective when that's.

"Sorry detective Zen but it's really 2013, look at this" the bookstore keeper replied, showing his phone showing the current year and the date and day.

Detective Zen who still can not believe all that he just grabbed the phone from the hands of the man and began to check it liken to his cellphone which was still set on date, at that time, and the same year as from the beginning he fell into a strange world through the book.

"Huh...why could this be, you lied to me huh? You must have changed the settings on your phone, CK ..You dare lie to me huh?" Detective Zen's words stared intently at the man, and made the man even more frightened.

"No..no.. Zen detective this phone I always use every day and the date and year in it always change every day by itself I never do any settings, I never do any settings, you can see the calendar there, it's the calendar and on your phone it's also 2013" the man pointed to the calendar and said of the Zen detective's phone.

Detective Zen is getting shocked and confused he sees the calendar there indeed shows the calendar in 2013, especially when he looks back on his phone screen the year there has changed to 2013 is the same as what is on the man's phone as well as the calendar hanging on the wall.

"Jeez..no.it can't be that there must be something wrong, I must find the damn book soon!" Detective Zen said feeling very upset and he couldn't let things get any more complicated not necessarily like this.

Detective Zen put aside all the awkward things that he started to feel little by little so he immediately asked the man to help him find complete data on the book he was referring to at that time.

"Okay..ignore about the year I've been away all this time, now you're quick to find data in 2010 as well as books that enter and exit this bookstore as soon as possible!" Detective Zen said yes.

The man immediately obeyed the orders of detective Zen, he went to the mountain and searched the file quickly, until after taking him the man immediately put a stack of very many files on the table, the file was filled with fine dust that made them all have to cover their noses because of the dust while the Zen detective was not at all disturbed by such trivial things, he just took one by one the data files there and read them carefully to find out about the strange book.

Until the guard was astonished because it had been running for several hours and detective Zen as well as the fire king Lu Shi Cheng had not been able to find any bright spots or clues from the book.

"Aishh.why can't I find the book at all!" The Zen detective who was very tired of looking for the book.

"Sorry detective Zen but if you'll excuse me, what book you're really looking for, I've been working here a long time, and who knows I know about the book you're talking about." The guard offered help.

"The book is an ugly book has a brown cover as well as its contents, the title of the book is a magical world, the, the book was only produced in this city alone and only a few libraries and bookstores sold it and this bookshop remained, he said, I've searched all the libraries before and they say that the book was never there when on the internet it says it was marketed there," detective Zen told the bookkeeper.

And what makes Zen detective shocked and happy at the same time apparently the man found out about the strange and mysterious book even he had a photo of the book on his phone that he showed to Zen detectives at that time.

"Wait as if I know about the book you're referring to, is this the book you're looking for?" Said the man's guard while showing a photo of the book on his phone.

And quickly the king of fire nodded his ass to the man, as well as the detection of Zen.

While detective Zen is still on guard and he is suspicious of the man, because he could find out about the strange book that he had been looking all over the place so far but he had never found and it was very difficult to read the strange book.

"Where did you get the picture of the book, do you keep it now?" Detective Zen asked the man by furrowing both of his eyebrows at that moment.

The man looked a bit nervous and the detective increasingly suspected himself as the man who was very suspicious at that time, he immediately rose to his feet and approached the library guard man getting closer to urge him and find out about the truth back then.

"YES...A.ahh...this is how I always take pictures of all the books that go into the store because so I do not forget if there are people who do not return the book and can replace with a new book while this book is not in production again since a long time ago, the last time this book appeared in three years ago, I also accidentally found it under the shelf that I cleaned, I also found it, then this book was bought by a grandfather and now he no longer knows" said the guard man.

"Are you telling me the truth?" Detective Zen asked with great suspicion towards him.

The man grew more nervous and he lowered his head quickly to make detective Zen start lifting his chin and asking for the address of the grandfather who bought the book from this store.

"Tell me who my grandfather bought the book, and give me information about it!" Said the Zen detective who was filled with a terrifying aura back then.

The man could no longer twitch, he moved slowly and continued to tremble, but secretly his hand took a broom next to the chair and at that time he was almost about to*kul detective Zen with one, but fortunately the fire lord Lu Shi Cheng managed to hold it fast and precisely so that the broom did not hit the chief detective Zen.

"Yeah!" Shouted the man who almost*kul the chief detective Zen.

Detective Zen was also very shocked and he did not have time to dodge, detective Zen immediately avoided the man and he immediately kicked the man in the stomach until he fell to the floor and continued to avoid the Zen detective while speaking hysterically unclear.

"You.how dare you attack me secretly like that, don't you know who I am! I won't let a goddamn person like you live any longer in the world!" Detective Zen said as he continued walking over to her and made the man even more frightened.

"No. I beg you to forgive me detective Zen, please forgive me, I do not mean to do all this sorry I am detective Zen I just threatened the grandfather, I do not know any kind of torment...hyx..." Said the man while prostrating under the feet of the Zen detective filled with fear

Detective Zen lifted the man by firmly grasping the collar of his clothes until the man stood before him while looking with a frightened look.

"I'm asking you one more time, where is that grandpa or you're going to die in my hands!" Threaten detective Zen to him again.

The man began to say it stammeringly and he still looked limp, the Zen detective thought about the address, saying, and the address was the same as the one where he had been to the place he thought was the first publishing house of the book.

"Say it right!" Snap the Zen detective to make sure.

The man immediately nodded obediently and told the truth to the Zen detective back then.

"Right detective Zen I dare not lie to you I am telling you the truth, the old man who asked forcibly so that he could buy the book from our store when I told him that it could not be sold anymore and the author did not know who the book was I was going to destroy it along with the other old books but the grandfather held me back, I was in need of money and he offered me a lot of money to buy the book so I gave it to him." The man replies to the truth and immediately the Zen detective releases him while slightly pushing him until the man falls back to the floor in fear.

Detective Zen had already felt a lot of awkward and strange things that he felt as well as he received lately so he began to suspect the place that only a barren field left with a lot of weed around it he had met once, because the address said by the guard man was exactly the address he had come to before.

Detective Zen was about to leave but apparently the guard man was still not satisfied he still wanted to attack detective Zen again from behind and he was now almost going to stab detective Zen with a folding knife he hid it from his pants pocket because previously the grandfather who bought the book to him had given the guard a warning about the arrival of the Zen detective as well as him who would ask about all these things, he said, so that the man had to do it he could not let the Zen detective go from there with all the information so much about the mysterious book that it almost made the guard man go crazy for him.

"Haaaa..aakkk," cried the man who almost stabbed detective Zen from behind, saying, but again and again fortunately the fire king Lu Shi Cheng managed to hold it and instead he inherited sword that first stuck in the stomach of the guard.

Detective Zen turned around in shock to see that the man's guard had already caught the sword of the fire king Lu Shi Cheng in the hand of the man who was holding a small knife pointed at him, and the fire king immediately pulled detective Zen's hand away from the man while pulling back his sword that was covered in fresh blood from the man.

"God....What have you done? Fire king why did you kill him, aahh like now, we have become murderers," said detective Zen felt very surprised to see this incident.

But the fire lord Lu Shi Cheng still looked so relaxed and spoke so easily to the Zen detective as if all this was normal for him.

"I hate traitors and this man has tried so many times to harm you from behind, so I must do so because all enemies must be annihilated!" The fire king spoke confidently.

While the Zen detective could only pat his forehead and feel extremely panicked not because of that moment, he clearly did not intend to kill the man and the fire lord was also ignorant of the laws in this world, either, because in his world all this was too ordinary for them and all was only in the hands of the fire king.

"Huaa.you're ridiculous, in my world this is so different from your world, you should be able to tell the fire king apart, God now what should we do with this man's corpse, this man, ahhh you only make me look more evil and cruel, my goodness I can end up in prison if this is the case," grumbled detective Zen felt panicked alone.
