When Katai Genjin asked if he was sure about that, Zhufu Kongliang replied in the same tone as before: "I am sure."
Instead, Pian Yi Xian Ren was no longer nervous, but smiled and said, "Then I believe you."
The silver-gray-haired Mr. Intelligence pointed the scissors at the blue wire - at that moment, his heart seemed to stop for a moment.
The bomb did not explode.
Of course, because no matter which one you choose, the bomb won't explode.
Zhu Fukongliang raised his lips slightly and said in a light tone, "Thanks for your help, Mr. Pian Yi."
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's the blue line or the red line. Zhu Fu Kong Liang can't really let such a useful tool die. All he needs is an attitude - a hesitant attitude of Pian Yi Xian Ren.
Bombs are Zhufu Kongliang's specialty, and currently the only one who has access to bombs is Katakuri Genjin. So, doesn't Zhufu Kongliang have the final say on the style and type of the bomb and even the power of the explosion?
Normal people don't know much about bomb disposal, and it's hard to understand the order of bomb disposal through comics. Even cartoonists can't explain such details in detail in the main story - it doesn't matter if they explain it, because there will always be a reason for Zhu Fu Kong Liang to make up for it.
Even if this scene was not drawn in the comics, it doesn't mean that Zhufu Kongliang can't narrate it orally? When he mentioned it to others later, Zhufu Kongliang was able to talk about it in a very natural manner.
Katai Genjin chose to follow Morofu Sora's advice and cut the blue thread. Morofu Sora's words were "Come to think of it, Katai Genjin's question really surprised me. I didn't expect that he also knew how to defuse bombs."
If he chose to refuse and cut the red string, then it would be more direct. Zhufu Kongliang could say, "Even I made a mistake, but I didn't expect Mr. Pianyi to see it."
It is enough to point out that Genjin Katsuragi has some experience in bomb disposal.
After all, don't forget the script of Morobuchi Sora. Genjin Katae is "Kenji Hagiwara who has lost his memory", so it can even be explained that he has not touched a bomb for seven years. After such a long time, he picked up the bomb disposal tools again. "Kenji Hagiwara who has lost his memory" questioned the situation based on his vague memory and touch - is there any problem?
After this start, Zhu Fukongliang needed to plan a new bomb-related case again.
This time, the little detective needs to come on the scene.
If there is a more suitable case recently...Halloween?
There is indeed a masquerade ball as part of the Halloween event.
Only those with invitations can enter, and they are required to wear masks that cover their faces when entering, which can be removed before the end of the party.
It is an activity that is quite easy to use to cause trouble, whether it is murder or arson, it is not easy to be discovered.
It doesn't matter how Conan and the others go, the plot will not let them off anyway. For Katakiri Genjin, it's even simpler, he can just send the invitation letter over - in another way.
The costume party was held in a hotel and started at 6pm on Halloween.
Morofuku Sora invited Chisaku Hagiwara to go with him, but Chisaku Hagiwara said helplessly, "It was my turn to be on duty that day."
Unlike holidays for most people, police officers are actually busier during these holidays. Just like the managers of scenic spots, they have an easy time on weekdays, but once the holidays come and the number of visitors increases, they need to work overtime.
Zhu Fu Kong Liang was a little confused: "I remember that it wasn't you, Sister Qian Su, that day?"
Chisaku Hagiwara replied, "The girl wanted to go out with her boyfriend, so she told me in advance to change clothes."
Zhu Fu Kong Liang continued to ask: "What about you, Sister Qian Su?"
Although this question was a bit irrelevant, Hagiwara Chisawa tapped Morofuku Soryo's forehead lightly: "Why are you asking this? Shigeo also has work that day, and don't forget, we are police officers. For us, holidays are actually no different from normal days."
Chisu Hagiwara was transferred to Tokyo Beihua because of the bomber, and after this case is over forever, it is natural for her to go back.
However, it is absolutely impossible to transfer as one wishes unless one is punished or for other reasons. Therefore, Chisawa Hagiwara is currently staying in Beika, and will be transferred back to Kanagawa after the higher-ups approve his application according to the regulations.
Time quickly arrived on Halloween day. The shops along the street were filled with stickers and pendants such as pumpkins and bats, creating a festive atmosphere.
Zhufu Kongliang did not go with the protagonists. Instead, he waited until they reached the hotel, stood in a corner, and began to slowly scan the layout of the room and the guests coming and going.
The hotel's interior was dark and eerie, which was in keeping with the Halloween atmosphere. People were dressed in all kinds of weird clothes, from scary bandannas to elegant vampires, and some were dressed in clothes that had nothing to do with Halloween.
The only thing they have in common is that they all wear masks that hide their faces, making it impossible to tell their identities.
But if I really meet someone familiar, I can still recognize him/her even if his/her face is covered.
Morofuku Sora soon found the protagonists - mainly because their features were indeed conspicuous enough. The always lively Suzuki Sonoko was holding the arm of Mouri Ran, and next to her was a little detective in a red hood.
Ran Mouri is dressed up as an elf, Suzuki Sonoko is a dazzling-looking princess, and Conan looks like Little Red Riding Hood - the roles of the three people can be said to be completely unrelated.
Suzuki Sonoko was talking to Mouri Ran and the general meaning from her lip movements was that they must enjoy themselves tonight and appreciate the handsome guy.
Mao Lilan replied: Aren't they all wearing masks? How can you tell who is handsome or not?
Suzuki Sonoko said: "You don't understand this, Xiaolan. If you cover your face like this, you don't need to see the front face - just imagining it is enough! If you really saw the front face, you wouldn't have that kind of expectation!"
Speaking of this, Suzuki Sonoko also gave a vivid example: "For example, Mr. Kidd! It is that strong and mysterious feeling that has always attracted me deeply!"
Conan Edogawa looked like he wanted to complain about hearing the name of a thief at this time, but the mask covered his expression, and in the end all that was revealed was a pout.
The main characters have arrived, and the remaining supporting roles are almost in place as well.
But before the show starts, there is still some time to relax.
It's just this relaxation, only for this group of people who don't know what will happen.
Genjin Katai was wearing a vampire suit that fit his personality very well. He was standing in a corner with a glass of red wine with a low alcohol content in his hand. His eyes behind the mask were observing his surroundings inconspicuously.
Just this morning, he suddenly noticed an invitation letter in his pocket - it appeared on him without him noticing at all.
This is a shock but also a threat. What is the purpose of the person who invited him to this party?
The intelligence house thought about whether he had ever made enemies with anyone. If he had to say something, intelligence work is a profession that is easy to be watched by others. Once he knows information that he shouldn't know, and he doesn't have enough ability to protect himself, he basically won't survive for two or three days.
Genjin Katae has always done well in this regard. At least he maintains a stable enough balance so that no one will try to take his life.
But because of this, Katai Genjin really couldn't figure out who he had offended recently, or if someone disliked him? Was this a banquet or just an invitation (which was basically impossible)?
The time left for Pianyi Genjin to think was too short, so in the end, Pianyi Genjin decided to come over and see the situation after making all the follow-up preparations.
Most vampire characters wear Western clothes, and at most wear a cloak or something. Genjin Kataki just bought a pair of fangs at the mall. He did have a mask, so he just put it on casually and came over.
All I can say is that if you have a pretty face, you don't have to worry about anything, even if you wear a mask.
As a gigolo, the first and most important thing is looks. Before looks, everything else comes second.
What is the job of a gigolo? It is a job that requires you to relax the customers. You don't have to be able to speak, but you must have a good-looking face.
You can even be dumb, as long as you look good enough for guests to see you.
When Kaname Genjin was a cowherd, everyone who paid attention to him would immediately notice his face. But when half of his face was covered by a mask, with only half of his chin exposed, his figure and his both good and evil temperament were highlighted.
The silver-gray hair was not tied into a half-bun, but was completely loose, and the long hair was not tied up by a hair tie, but was directly draped over the shoulders. Maybe because the hair was often rolled into a bun, it was still a little curled when it was let down.
The black eyes of Katae Genjin looked particularly deep under the light and shadow through the mask. Without work or business, Katae Genjin still attracted many people's attention even if he just lazily leaned in the corner.
In other words, when he doesn't deliberately spread his feathers like a peacock, more people want to see him spread his feathers for himself. Is this a bad habit of human beings?
"It's you, Mr. Vampire~" A relaxed and happy voice sounded from behind him. The male voice was smiling: "Even with your face covered, you are still quite attractive."
Pian Yi Xian Ren did not turn around, because the person walked directly in front of him, picked up a glass of juice from the table next to him, and said, "Good evening, I didn't expect you to come."
"Haha, I'm also surprised to see you here." The lazy aura of Katai Genjin disappeared immediately, and he returned to his usual peacock-like demeanor. His expression was obscured by the mask, and his emotions could only be seen from the few parts that were not covered.
"Well... should I call you Mr. Devil?" Katsui Genjin answered in an uncertain tone, responding to the previous sentence "Mr. Vampire".
After all, it's a masquerade ball, so it's better not to reveal your name if possible, which is in line with the current atmosphere.
"Mr. Devil" curled his eyes behind the mask and said with a smile: "Whatever, I don't mind."
He even added, "No matter what you call me, I won't get angry."
The reason why he is called the devil is because of the way he is dressed at the moment.
The black-haired young man was wearing a black cloak that almost covered his entire body. On both sides of his head were a pair of goat horns that represented the devil. They did not look like something bought casually in a mall. They looked exquisitely made and extremely real.
The hood half-covers the pair of goat horns, and together with it covers the entire face, revealing only a pair of white mask with two slits representing a squinting smile. The strong contrast between white and black gives people a strong sense of weirdness.
But this strange feeling was mostly broken when the young man stretched out his hand to hold the juice. The reason was simple, because the man was wearing a very casual pink velvet sweatshirt with cartoon patterns printed on it under the tent.
Regardless of the color of the sweatshirt, after all, Kenjin Katsui himself has a few sets of pink shirts and the like - but it is very strange to match the velvet pink with such a weird outfit!
And if you look closely, you will find that apart from the mask and goat horns, the man is actually only wearing a cloak, and nothing else has changed! Take off the mask and horns, take off the cloak, and you can return to your normal state anytime and anywhere. After all, it's a costume party, do you really have to be so perfunctory!
As if noticing Pian Yi Xian Ren's gaze, Zhu Fu Kong Liang lowered his head and took a look, then suddenly changed the subject, and said thoughtfully: "Is it really better to wear that suit?"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Fu Kong Liang said: "Forget it, just think of me as a more fashionable devil~"
After asking the waiter for a straw, Zhu Fu Kong Liang took the glass and sipped the juice without taking off his mask. The atmosphere he had created before was instantly ruined.
Katsui Genjin also slightly restrained his aura and asked bluntly, "Did you send the invitation?"
The main thing was that if Bailantide really wanted to harm him, there were hundreds of ways to do it. On the contrary, being more frank might help him get more information.
Among the candidates that Genjin Katae was suspicious of, Bailandide was not actually among them until he saw him just now.
You know, it was he who took the initiative to contact Bailandide about the previous bank bombing incident.
So it was just a simple intuition. Genjin Katai shook his glass, a little nervous.
He is just an ordinary intelligence agency with nothing special about him. You can find characters of similar level to him if you look around. There is nothing special about him.
But in the past few years, he had never contacted or tried to find out any information about the organization except for his friend Plum. Such curiosity would only bring trouble to Plum and endanger his life.
But in recent times, his connection with the organization has suddenly increased a lot - Katai Genjin still doesn't know the specific work and intelligence of the organization, and he has never been curious about the specific tasks he will help with - but he has indeed increased his connection with the organization.
And this connection does not seem to really come from Plumb.
"Unexpectedly sharp?" Morofuku Sora was very satisfied with Kataya Genji's performance, because one of Hagiwara Kenji's character settings was that he had extremely high insight.
How to say it, the more he looks at Kataya Genjin, the more satisfied he is. He even wants to tear off the man's vest in the street and sew it on Hagiwara Kenji's body.
After all, he is indeed the devil~
After getting the correct answer, Katai Genjin exhaled and asked a more straightforward question: "So what do you need me to do?"
This completely fits Zhufu Kongliang's previous guess. It seems that as long as Zhufu Kongliang makes a request, Pianyi Xianren will not even blink an eye, even if it means giving up his current identity.
"It's very simple." The blank white mask approached Kaname Genjin directly. The blue eyes behind the weird smile on the mask were sharp and seemed to pierce people: "I want to know your name and your identity."
"——The original, real name."
The smile on Katai Genjin's face froze and widened a little: "My name?"
He responded with a very calm attitude: "Pian Yi Xian Ren, could this name be false?"
Katsui Genjin told a lie that both of them knew about, and showed a rare attitude of denial.
Yes, the Intelligence Office can choose to give up his "current" identity without hesitation, but he will never reveal his most hidden truth no matter what.
——It is impossible to be exposed in front of the members of the organization.
Zhu Fukongliang put down the juice, and the glass fell on the table with a clatter. He replied in an incoherent way: "It's okay, I will investigate it myself."
"Well, I wish you have fun." After saying this, Zhu Fu Kong Liang turned around and left.
Katae Genjin stared at the back of the pure black hooded figure, and the smile on his lips disappeared. When a woman in gorgeous clothes approached, he turned into a frivolous cowherd again: "Beautiful lady, how can I help you?"
This attitude made the masked strange woman look surprised and shy.
On the other hand, after finishing the plot with the Intelligence House, Zhu Fukongliang touched his earrings and found that their dialogue was actually drawn in the comic update.
This overly smooth development made Zhu Fu Kong Liang feel a little scared. He thought about the last time he was so successful, he was turned into an illusion by the author. So what about this time?
As expected, we still need to speed up the progress, just in this plot. The sooner he is confirmed, the sooner he can feel at ease.
[Fuck! I thought I could see my little brother vampire or something, but you completely covered your most important face, asshole! ! ]
[Although, this mask is really scary. Woohoo! I’m most afraid of this kind of blank mask with only a smile on it…]
[Aren’t little devils good? Aren’t vampires good? Why do you have to wear such a cumbersome hood? Damn it! 】
[Do I think goat horns are really sexy? ! ! ! ]
【Wow, that’s a lot of information! 】
[Katan's attitude is really subtle, and the younger brother's reaction is also... Isn't the younger brother a traitor? So did he find out something using some trickery? ]
[Honestly, after covering her face, letting her hair down, and changing the color to black, she really looks like Hagiwara... her face shape is a bit similar...]
[But the appearance in the comics is the most unreliable. The style of painting is too difficult! ]
[I think my younger brother is so cute hahaha, everyone is dressed properly, but my younger brother is the only one wearing a hoodie under his hood, and it’s in the shape of a cat!! So cute! ]
[But this attitude has stabilized. Katae Genjin must be a fake identity... But what is his real identity? Is it a disguise or...? ]
[I can't understand. If Katae is really Hagi, then what happened all these years... It's not worth it. This is the source of Kojinpei's suffering for so many years...]
[I think that the fact that Kongliang hasn’t found out the true identity of Pianyi until now has shown that Pianyi’s identity must be complicated... After all, his brother doesn’t follow the law, so he hasn’t found out yet...? ]
【Yes!!!】
[It's so funny, maybe Kata-e is also a bottle of wine! After all, he has never come into contact with Huibara, and the radar has not sounded yet! ]
[Hey guys, is the winery delivering another bottle of wine?]
[We are getting off topic. If Katai is not Hagi, judging from the current direction, she will become a main character, and may have some other relationship with Hagi.
But if it is really Hagi... then we can start to think about what the second year of ken has been doing for the past seven years. 】
[Actually, if you think about it carefully... Although the bomber was not worth it, didn't Hagiwara Kenji die too easily? Just like Date's car accident... Assuming that Hagiwara Kenji actually faked his death through the police and was sent to do some mission, it seems not impossible...? ]
[Having said that, I suddenly remembered that I had looked it up before. It seems that here, undercover agents must be voluntary, their ancestors must be clean for three generations, and they cannot be only children... I don't know about Japan, but Kenji basically meets our requirements...]
Zhufu Kongliang glanced at the analysis here and couldn't help but want to complain. The Public Security Department has sent two people from the police academy team over here, and if Hagiwara Kenji comes, are they planning to organize team building?
There are already enough undercover agents in the organization, so don't lower the alcohol concentration any more——
Moreover, this fake death setting is reserved for Ida, so it is better to avoid overlap as much as possible.
【The way the author draws it, I actually feel that Hagi is not Katae... because it's too obvious, and he doesn't look like him. Just like when Bayonetta was choosing one of the three, she directly confronted Judy, and the result was that it was a new one. So, I bet Katae is not Hagi! And his identity, there are guessing wines, so I bet 50 cents that it is the intelligence house that only half of his face was shown before hhh】
There is a prophet here, a knife. Zhu Fu Kongliang added this sentence in his heart.
The comic also unexpectedly played a role at this time. The subsequent plot of the comic is on Conan's side. At the same time when he was communicating with Katakiri Genjin, Edogawa Conan, who had been acting very bored, accidentally noticed a coded letter hidden in the room. Out of detective curiosity, he began to look for other letters according to the clues.
However, when all these codes were gathered together, Conan Edogawa arranged them in Roman letters, and the meaning of them made his pupils shrink.
Conan Edogawa looked around the room in shock and cried out, "Bomb?!"
—The bomb, though delayed, arrived.
