"Uh-huh...Yeah, that's right!"
Hongshu swallowed the sushi in his mouth with difficulty and nodded repeatedly:
"That sushi chef's eyes are so fierce. Even though he's smiling, I always feel cold all over when he stares at me."
"There are many different kinds of people in the world. Don't judge a person by his appearance. Look at Brother Kidd, he looks so handsome, but isn't he still a thief?"
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Kidd, who was slurping his ramen, looked downcast:
"Can't a handsome guy be a thief?"
"I mean, you are wasting your talent by being a thief."
“That’s more like it…”
"Okay, eat quickly. We still have things to do after we finish eating."
Yokosuka is only a two-hour drive from Tokyo, so they naturally won't stay here overnight. A round trip on the same day is the best option.
After lunch, Sakaki Makoto and his companions returned to the car. With the addition of Hattori and Kazuha, the Crown car was instantly overloaded and the space seemed a little crowded.
However, as long as Hongshu sat on Hattori's lap, this problem was perfectly solved.
Just as Makoto Sakaki started the car and was about to leave Tateishi Park, a white figure suddenly appeared in the alley next to the parking lot. Judging from his clothes, the other person should be a chef. He was wearing a low-top chef's hat and a piece of cotton cloth covering his left eye. He leaned against the wall and took out a cigarette box. It seemed that he ran out to smoke during the break.
"It's him!"
Seeing this chef, Hongshu immediately shouted:
"He's the sushi chef with the fierce look in his eyes that I mentioned!"
Following the direction pointed by Hongshu, Sakaki took a casual glance, and when he found that the other party was ordinary, he withdrew his gaze:
"He's not as fierce as you say. He's a pretty normal person."
"That's because you didn't see his eyes!"
"You look fierce, I know."
"Not just ordinary fierce!"
“Okay, okay…”
Sakaki Makoto put the car in first gear and was about to start when his body suddenly stiffened and he stopped moving.
Through the rearview mirror, he glanced at Hongshu and found that Hongshu was also looking at him, and after realizing that he was looking at him, he immediately shifted his gaze.
In most cases, normal adults don't care about what children think.
After all, in the eyes of many adults, children are just children. Only those who have not grown up and are immature are called children. When facing children, adults will unconsciously develop an innate sense of superiority in their hearts, thinking that children speak without restraint and what they say is far less credible than that of other adults.
But Makoto Sakaki is well versed in psychology. He is very aware of his own weaknesses and at the same time he reminds himself all the time to try his best to avoid mistakes.
Makoto Sakaki thought that if he turned a deaf ear to what Hongshu said, wouldn't he be the same as other adults?
At Ogawa's house, he once said that he and Hongshu were friends, and since they were friends...
You should trust the other person's judgment instead of just ignoring it.
"Hongshu, do you think the chef's identity is suspicious?"
"Um!"
Hongshu nodded heavily:
"At least I have never seen such a cold look as his... No, I have seen it in Gin's eyes!"
Sakaki Makoto couldn't help but frown.
Gin....
Is there any character who can be compared to Gin, or even equated with him, who is a simple person?
In any case, they are currently at a critical period and cannot afford any loopholes.
"It doesn't matter if you take 10 minutes."
Sakaki checked the time and turned off the engine:
"Brother Kidd, go test the other party. Put on your headphones and don't forget to disguise yourself."
"What? Are you really going?"
"Nonsense, just go if you're told to go, and come back quickly."
"Damn, why are you so serious..."
With a mouthful of complaints stuck in his throat, Kidd rolled his eyes, took out his usual mask and headphones from his arms, put them on, opened the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the alley.
To be honest, he didn't want to come at all. It was so cold outside, and he was alone and went to chat up a grown man. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
But....
Whenever the other person is a young lady, Kidd has to take the initiative to volunteer and never bother Makoto Sakaki. He even has to ask Makoto Sakaki to step back a little so as not to steal his limelight.
Kidd entered the alley, and his resentful expression suddenly disappeared. He touched the mask on his face and instantly immersed himself in the role.
As a perfectionist, Kidd either doesn't do it or makes sure it's flawless.
The chef, who was smoking, saw someone coming into the alley and stepped back, not realizing that the other person was coming for him.
Kidd slowed down his pace, walked up to the chef, took out the cigarette he had just taken from Makoto Sakaki, picked one up, touched his body with both hands, and looked a little embarrassed.
There are very few people smoking while walking on the streets of Japan. Smokers who want to satisfy their smoking needs will go to special places, so it is common to see two or three smokers who don't know each other standing in the same smoking area puffing on their cigarettes, which makes passers-by feel embarrassed.
Occasionally, when some people are craving for cigarettes, they will find a secluded corner to solve the problem, but sometimes when walking on the street, there are no secluded corners at all, so they can only stand on the roadside to smoke. It is embarrassing for one person, but it may not be the same for two people.
so.....
Some people will look for other people who are addicted to smoking at first sight like them. After the other person takes out a cigarette box and attracts enough attention, they will move closer and smoke with the other person.
Kidd used a similar tactic.
"Lighter?"
The chef saw Kidd holding a cigarette and touching his body, obviously looking for a lighter. As a smoker himself, he could understand the despair of Kidd when he wanted to smoke but had no lighter, so he took out his own lighter and handed it to him.
"Thanks."
Kidd thanked him, took the lighter, lit the cigarette, and then kicked the lighter into his pocket.
This is definitely not a tacit understanding between old smokers, but simply...
The stealing addiction is back.
There’s nothing we can do, it’s an occupational disease, we can’t control it!
When my hands are empty, I always want to touch something.
The chef was no longer calm, and the look he gave Kidd became strange. He took two puffs of his cigarette, and when he saw that Kidd had no intention of returning the lighter to him, he finally couldn't help but say:
"Well, my lighter..."
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm used to it."
Kidd quickly took out his lighter and returned it to the owner, then asked:
“Are you a sushi chef?”
"Yes, how did you know that?"
"You smell faintly of fish. I had the same smell when I worked at the seafood market."
While Kidd revealed the other party's identity, he also cleverly resolved the awkwardness and shortened the distance between them:
"There's a sushi restaurant next door. You should be working there."
"Wow....young man, your reasoning is pretty good."
The chef grinned, revealing a pair of protruding rabbit teeth:
"I'm also a mystery enthusiast. How about coming to the store for a drink later so we can have a good chat?"
"Need not...."
Just as Kidd was about to refuse, he heard Sakaki Makoto say in a serious tone in his earphone:
"Promise it, he's testing you."
