Chapter 1270 1278 [Organizational Stalker-1]
When the high school students heard how they addressed each other, they looked at the two of them with some confusion.
The two people opposite noticed their gaze.
The young man was a little shy, smiled sheepishly, and explained, "This is what we called the 'Eight-Day Tour of Taiko Hideyoshi'. All the people who came to participate in this tour are fans of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. We didn't know each other before, and we were brought together through the Internet. So in order to get familiar with each other as quickly as possible and to avoid the embarrassment of calling the wrong name, we will draw lots every day to determine our identity, and each person will play a role."
He pointed to the badge on his chest. It was a blooming five-petal flower, the "Boongen emblem" of Akechi Mitsuhide.
"The person who draws 'Oda Nobunaga' will be today's lord. Everyone will pretend to be a retainer from ancient times and help him with simple tasks. For example, running errands for him, taking photos, or other requests that 'Oda Nobunaga' can think of."
As he was speaking, another voice came from the side.
This time it was a slightly hoarse female voice. The person who came was obviously also a member of this strange tour group and was very clear about the rules of the game: "However, in return, Oda Nobunaga will also pay for Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu to have dinner."
As for why the "lord" had three "subjects" but only invited two of them to dinner, it was because Akechi Mitsuhide was a traitor.
--Historically, when his "lord" Oda Nobunaga was about to unify Japan, Akechi Mitsuhide staged the famous Honnoji Incident and assassinated Oda Nobunaga and his successor.
After that, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gradually took over the power from his "lord" and achieved the general unification of Japan.
…
When several high school students heard what the woman said, they subconsciously looked at her chest, but did not see the corresponding family emblem.
The woman noticed their gazes and elegantly raised her hand to push up her glasses. "The number I drew today is 'Ning Ning'. You don't have to do anything. Just look at them with a smile."
——Ningning was Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s first wife and one of the “Three Ladies of the Warring States Period”.
Jiang Xia looked at them for a while and praised them in a friendly manner: "It's a very creative game."
The young man straightened his back instantly and became confident again: "Haha, indeed!"
Several high school girls seemed to find it interesting as well and started discussing: "But it sounds so miserable for those who draw Mitsuhide. Not only do they have to please others, but they can't even get dinner for free."
"There are always winners and losers in a game." Another person appeared from nowhere, with the lord badge of "Oda Nobunaga" on his chest. He smiled and said, "But as a balance, 'Akechi Mitsuhide' has a privilege - he can choose three minutes every day to be the 'lord', which symbolizes the power of the world that he once briefly obtained."
A total of four people from the tour group showed up. Now, except for "Toyotomi Hideyoshi", everyone else is here.
The bald uncle who seemed difficult to talk to just now actually smiled friendly when he saw the "lord". He picked up the tea in his hand and said, "Lord Nobunaga, here, this is the oolong tea you ordered."
The "Lord" touched the back of his head embarrassedly and took it: "Thank you very much."
Hattori Heiji and Conan's eyes twitched slightly. They felt that this role-playing game was too childish and didn't want to have too much interaction with this group of people.
Yuanshan Heye obviously found it interesting. She looked around and asked, "Why can't I see Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"
The master pointed to the exit and said, "He just received a phone call and then ran away in a hurry."
Yuanshan Heye laughed: "Did he go to inspect the Osaka Castle he built before?"
As she was speaking, a black hand suddenly reached out from behind and pulled her.
Hattori Heiji muttered in a low voice: "Ignore these weird guys, let's go."
After pulling Yuanshan and Ye, I saw there was still one person standing there reluctantly.
Hattori Heiji took a closer look and found that it was Jiang Xia.
He was about to continue pulling people in, but suddenly remembered something, stopped, his eyes slightly lit up: "Why don't you go play with them?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Jiang Xia is our guest. How could he run away with someone else?" Yuanshan Heye hugged Jiang Xia's arm.
Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to reach out her hand, but after a moment, she looked at her thin arms and turned to poke Mouri Ran.
Mao Lilan immediately understood and helped to hold the other side. With a little effort, the two of them successfully dragged Jiang Xia away from the guys who were playing roles.
Jiang Xia: "..." Wait, I'm not really going to participate, I'm just going to take a look...
…
A few people eventually left the castle tower, separated from the adults who were immersed in role-playing, and went about their own business.
"It's almost noon, let's find a place to eat first." Hattori Heiji was indeed more experienced in being a tour guide. He raised his hand and pointed, "Go forward this way, there is a food street across the river. It's not a very famous street, but the food is actually quite good, and there are not many people, so you don't have to queue."
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from the castle tower and nodded - he still trusted Hattori Heiji's vision in choosing a hotel.
The food street is about one or two stops away from here.
There were many attractions and landmarks nearby, so they simply didn't take a car, but walked all the way there, taking in the scenery along the way.
…
When they reached the river and were about to cross the bridge, they were suddenly startled.
——The sound of sirens was heard from the front.
"..." Yuanshan Heye's face changed slightly and he wanted to take another route.
But before she could open her mouth, the three detectives had disappeared from her side in an instant. Looking closely, she saw that they had all flashed to the edge of the bridge and were now looking down from afar.
After a moment, Hattori Heiji recognized the leader and waved over there: "Uncle Otaki!"
Then he decisively climbed over the fence and went down to the open space by the river.
Inspector Otaki heard someone calling him and turned around in confusion.
Then he suddenly saw some familiar faces. He looked at these detectives and couldn't help but remain silent for a while.
…
Jiang Xia also slid down.
With a quick look, I saw a person lying on his back on the river bank under the bridge.
The man had thick lips and a blunt-force wound on his head. He lay motionless on the ground, his chest flat, and looked dead.
His bag fell to the side, and some of the things inside had spilled out. His wallet was also lying on the ground, bulging, with the money inside intact, so it didn't look like he had been robbed.
And next to the wallet...
Jiang Xia took a closer look and found that it was actually a telescope.
Jiang Xia: “…” He actually carries this thing with him, it’s like he’s monitoring something.
As he pondered with a deep look on his face, he picked up a ball of murderous aura on the ground beside him and stuffed it into his own tattoo space. Judging from the location, it seemed to have fallen from the dead. It seemed that this person was not an ordinary person.
