Chapter 114 Until the Sea Turns Blue - Brother Tou I praise myself, from...
Lin Xi blinked slowly.
Toru Amuro could see every blink of her eyelashes.
There was still a slightly confused expression on her face, but at some point it turned into a cunning look of sudden realization.
"So her name is Punch? Are you some kind of secret organization? Why do you all use liquor names as your code names?"
Now it was Toru Amuro who was stunned.
He gritted his teeth: "You guy..."
Lin Xi: "Excuse me, Mr. Bourbon, I'm not the person you're calling. But, have you two never met before? How could you mistake someone who looks completely different?"
"I thought you knew I wasn't her...?"
Amuro Toru suddenly reached out his hand.
He touched the girl's neck with his fingertips and lifted her jaw.
Lin Xi moved uncomfortably, looked at him puzzledly, and did not resist.
No matter how advanced the disguise technique is, after the disguised person puts on the mask, there will be an unclear boundary behind the ears and from the chin to the neck.
When looking from the front, due to lighting and angle issues, this boundary is invisible. But if you touch it with your hands——
It's easy to feel the boundary between the penis and one's own skin.
This is what Vermouth told him.
but……
Amuro Toru lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.
His hand slid across her fair neck and up behind her ear.
She looked at him curiously with her honey-colored eyes, letting his hands rest on her most vulnerable parts, even tilting her head slightly to facilitate his movements.
No. Nothing.
There is no trace of disguise.
The face in front of me is the girl's truest appearance.
He pulled his hand back expressionlessly and didn't want to speak for a moment.
But the girl didn't want to let him go.
"Mr. Bourbon? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
She smiled, but to Toru Amuro it looked like a devil with its tail raised.
"Could it be that Punch has some magical ability to disguise himself, so that even the super-intelligent Mr. Amuro can't recognize him?"
"I've never seen such a miraculous skill. Is it just by touching the neck and ears that you can tell if someone has disguised themselves, Mr. Bourbon?"
The girl called out "Mr. Amuro" and "Mr. Bourbon" one after another, smiling and pursuing Amuro Toru's mistakes relentlessly.
Amuro Toru sighed sadly in his heart.
He just knew it, he just knew it!
It turns out that nothing good will come of calling out Punch's name first!
Now not only is it embarrassing, but I'm also being teased by the smart girl...
That's too bad.
But as a mature adult, Toru Amuro remained calm on the surface.
He asked, "Did she tell you my code name?"
This violates the organization's rules. If an organization member privately leaks other members' information, it is a serious offense and they will be held accountable.
But Punch shouldn't mind. She never cared about the organization's rules.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt a long-lost helplessness in his heart.
Lin Xi blinked. "Not really, right? She told me that if she wanted you to get involved, calling you by this codename might work wonders."
"You know, that day in the alley, I met that guy, I forgot his name, but he was just a passerby. He had a bug on his collar that you had installed, right?"
"I was crouching nearby and eavesdropping on their conversation. She seemed to be talking to you through the bug, wasn't she? I heard her call you that."
"Then when I tried to listen closer, I was discovered."
Amuro Toru held his forehead.
Fortunately, this guy met Punch.
If he were a member of another organization, he would have died a thousand times ago if he was so bold.
Also, isn't this guy too curious?!
Amuro Toru's excellent memory allowed him to recall the content of their conversation that day, which mentioned drugs, gangs, and even guns.
Wouldn't an ordinary person run away immediately after hearing these words? How dare she come forward to listen?
Punch must have discovered her long ago and deliberately let her eavesdrop nearby. His ultimate goal...
Still want to tease him.
Toru Amuro seemed to have seen the red-haired girl's cunning smile.
"What happens next?" he asked.
Lin Xi: "Afterwards, she treated me to delicious food and even asked me to join you guys in solving cases. She's a very nice young lady, very cute, very beautiful, and a very nice person, hehehe..."
Toru Amuro:......
What a ghost.
Don't be fooled by appearances, you face control!
Lin Xi's skin has been toughened up now, and he can praise himself in front of others without feeling embarrassed.
At least now Punch is Punch and Linxi is Linxi!
What's wrong with praising her other face! Her face is so beautiful!
"What else did she say to you?" Amuro Toru hesitated for a moment and asked again:
"What did she look like? Can you describe her in detail?"
Why did he appear again after being away for five years?
And I also contacted him through Lin Xi.
Amuro Toru wasn't sure if he was the first person Punch approached after he came back.
Did she contact the organization, or was she actually still in contact?
If... he meant if, Punch hadn't shown up for such a long time because of the organization, for example, she had left the organization and didn't want to go back... then he would have to think carefully about whether or not to mention her in the report submitted to the organization.
"Ah, she did say something about Mr. Bourbon."
The girl put her finger on her chin, as if reminiscing.
In fact, I am thinking wildly in my brain.
Well, what should I say to Bourbon?
Wait a minute, let her make up a few sentences.
Amuro Toru looked at her.
Lin Xi coughed lightly under such gaze: "You know, Mr. Bourbon, I have always admired your appearance..."
"...Please speak seriously."
"I want to keep that photo." Lin Xi tried to make his eyes look more sincere.
What a beautiful Bourbon cat.
Besides, she wasn't going to keep it for herself.
There is someone who may need this photo more than she does...
Toru Amuro:......
He just knew it.
"You can keep it." He finally compromised, rubbing his brow with a headache, "But please don't show it to others, Miss Lin."
"Don't worry, I won't show it to others." Lin Xi patted his chest.
Don’t show it to “others”, show it to your own people.
Amuro Toru: "Also, don't call me by my code name outside..."
Lin Xi: "I understand, I understand. It's a secret organization. Is there any way to join? It sounds very interesting. I want to join too..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw the face of the person in front of her suddenly darken, and a familiar sneer appeared on his face.
Ah, Bourbon Cat has poked his head out again.
With a click, the safety was pulled and the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at Lin Xi's head.
Lin Xi immediately raised his hands in surrender.
Ah, Bourbon Cat shows his claws.
"Lin Xi." His blue-gray eyes stared at her, "Stay away from the 'Organization'. That's not a place you can get involved in, unless..."
"You want to see everyone around you killed one day."
Lin Xi: "As you command, Lord Bourbon."
Ah, Bourbon Cat meowed.
Toru Amuro:.
How can this guy still joke when facing a gun!
"Don't call me Bourbon anymore!" he gritted his teeth.
Lin Xi: Okay, Lord Bourbon. As you wish, Lord Bourbon.
On the surface, he still changed his words obediently: "Okay, Brother Tou."
Toru Amuro:?
"Don't call me that... Never mind. Whatever."
That's better than Mr. Bourbon.
Toru Amuro found that ever since he met Lin Xi, he was always compromising.
There are many more times when I feel helpless than before.
Lin Xi kept her hands raised and looked at Amuro Toru secretly: "Miss Punch told me that if you mention her, she will tell you:"
"'The day of reuniting with old friends is not far off, so please wait patiently.'"
Amuro Toru retracted the gun and stroked the gun barrel which was not loaded with bullets with his fingertips.
"Old friend?" He chewed on the word fiercely, as if trying to squeeze out juice from it.
Who is her old friend?
Who is looking forward to meeting her again?
This guy would only tease him and make his already arranged job uncertain...
Lin Xi curiously observed his changing expression and answered his second question:
"As for what she looks like, well... younger than me, with red curly hair and green eyes. So, have you really never seen her, Tou-ge?"
Toru Amuro:......
What a strange name.
It was the first time someone called him that.
How could he not have seen Punch? He had seen her every day before, and he remembered every feature of her face clearly.
But he keenly caught a point worth noting in Lin Xi's words:
"Is he younger than you?"
"Ah, yes. She looks only about fifteen or sixteen. Not even as old as Miss Lan."
strangeness.
Five years have passed, but she is still the same as she was back then, hasn't changed at all?
Although disguise can turn an elderly lady with white hair into a woman in her twenties or thirties, Toru Amuro does not think that Punch will use the age-changing technique on himself.
Maybe she just looked young. After all, they never knew Punch's real age...
"Brother Tou, what's wrong?" Lin Xi asked.
"...Nothing." Amuro Toru turned his head and looked into the distance. He saw two figures, one large and one small, turning around, as if preparing to go home. He also said, "Ms. Lin, it's time for you to go back and rest."
He didn't get a response. He turned to look at Lin Xi in confusion, only to see her chuckle, not quite ashamed.
"Um, Mr. Amuro..."
Toru Amuro:?
I was just used to being called Brother Tou, but suddenly I felt weird being called so politely.
She was sure to say something that would give him a headache again...
As expected, Lin Xi said:
"Well, that is to say, do you have a place to live where no one can find you?"
"Actually, I kind of sneaked out... It would be a bit troublesome if I went back now."
Amuro Toru stared at her.
Lin Xi looked away guiltily.
"'A place to live without being discovered by others'?" He repeated Lin Xi's words, "What did you do in the village? Wait, forget it, don't tell me, I don't want to know for now..."
I always feel that knowing it will give him a headache again.
"Well, so, is there a place that can take me in temporarily?"
Lin Xi said shamelessly.
It's just a place to stay, what's the big deal? She even gave them a safe house five years ago!
Although it's only the right to use it, and now that three people are dead or have escaped, the safe house is not so safe anymore...
"...There's no place like the one you mentioned." Amuro Toru said indifferently, "There's only an ordinary hotel."
Then he saw obvious disappointment flash across Lin Xi's face, as if to say:
What? There are only regular hotels? No safe houses?
So you really came here for tourism?
Toru Amuro:?
The fist is hard.
