Chapter 19 The First Player
[Am I the only one who noticed this? Cointreau and Bourbon seem to have a bit of a cat-like relationship.]
【Li Tao | Analysis of the dialogue between Bourbon and Cointreau, who is the "undercover" that Cointreau suspects? 】
[Shocked! Cointreau is actually...]
[Bet, trouble: First, is Pasetto real or fake? ]
[So excited, have you read the latest episode of Dead Little and updated it?]
[Family, if you want to go all-in on this pairing, is anyone into Gin x Cointreau?]
Most of the comments are just temporary expressions of emotions, which are fleeting and have little nutritional value. If you want to see some readers' deep thoughts and analysis, you should pay more attention to the developments in the forum.
Xi Haiqing Dou opened the forum and saw that it was full of posts related to the latest episode. Although there seemed to be some strange things mixed in...but it didn't matter.
He knew that there were always some rebellious readers who liked to ship some weird and rebellious CPs, and all he had to do was learn to ignore them.
The first post he clicked on was "Shocked".
Not only because it is a good riddle for the title party, but also because the OP put a comic fan art on the first floor, and the post received quite a few replies.
The picture shows the scene where Cointreau, after completing the deal with the Hong Kong gangs, is sitting in the passenger seat of the car and turning around to talk to Scotland and Canada. What is different from the comic is that it is filled in with beautiful colors, leaving only one sentence.
In the picture, golden sunlight shines through the car window, but casts a small shadow on Cointreau. His long hair hangs down in front of his eyes, obscuring the expression on his face. Scotland and Canada in the back seat are both stunned.
This picture... Xi Haiqing's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that even fan art would appear so quickly. Could it be that all the readers this time are so sensitive? What did they discover?
He reached in and clicked.
A minute later, he staggered out of the post.
【Shocked! Cointreau is actually... (picture.jpg)】
【Friends! Did you see it? Did you find it? It’s a widower!! (Picture 1.jpg) (Picture 2.jpg) (Picture 3.jpg)】
[Sorry for being a title party, but these few squares of Cointreau really look like a married man, or the kind of man who has no life left after his wife died (comparison), a widow in short, ahem, how should I put it, I really like this kind of personality]
[I am dying of laughter 23333 I am a bad person, let me first say, I am sorry Cointreau, although you are sad that you have lost your partner, but I must say that I am very happy :) That kind of widowed temperament (not) was really controlled by Cointreau... I really want to rob Cointreau, shashasha]
[The pen upstairs is for you to write! ]
[+10086, but let me correct the above, Jun Du has no partner, that's just the person he likes. The evil old thief always likes to have a first love or something, if it doesn't work, it's not that good... In just one day, I just got a wife and experienced a broken heart at the same time, there is no greater joy or sorrow in life than this]
[The person above, isn't this better? ]

[Damn, the link I posted above has been blocked... If you want to find it, you can search for the most popular one of Yu Yuan Qianqiu on Twitter, or search for Mrs. ■■ directly, or you can look for it on P station. It's really fragrant and astringent!! There are more 18N-oriented ones on P station, so be careful to distinguish them~]
【Thank you, good people will have a peaceful life! ! 】
Xi Haiqingdou closed his eyes, trying to forget everything he had just seen from his mind.
I've been fooled. He thought expressionlessly, the Title Party is indeed the biggest scam in the world!
He was so anxious and hopeful that someone would notice something, and he kept flipping through the pages until the end. In the end, they only noticed these messy things! !
And how does he look like a widow? He was smiling on purpose at that time! And what is "very sad"? Why does he always have a bad feeling...
Saikai Haruto was shocked and couldn't understand.
After closing this meaningless post, Xi Haiqing Dou opened another post discussing who was the undercover agent.
——This title looks much more serious, and it seems like there will be a lot of replies... Thinking carefully about what they have done in the past few days, he was also very curious, who is more suspicious in the eyes of the forum readers?
【hot】【Li Tao | Analysis of the dialogue between Bourbon and Cointreau, who is the "undercover" that Cointreau suspects? 】
[Depressed 682]:
rt. I came back after reading the new episode. I was so excited... Friends, I really didn't expect this! The first person to suspect someone was an undercover agent was Bourbon! And the person who suspected was Cointreau! Furuya Rei, you are a real undercover agent, how dare you——
The encrypted conversation between the two of them was so exciting and enjoyable! Later, there is also an Akai who will come, which is even more exciting. The Wenye chapter is an undercover meeting, right? Old thief, you really have a good grasp of the plot!
But after watching it, I was also more confused... They kept guessing and guessing, but they were still not sure who was the undercover agent? Didn't they still guess whether Pasetto was the undercover agent? Why did Touko and Cointreau hold the Riddler? But is that really the case? Did Cointreau and Touko really not discover anything?
Anyway, I'll post a photo of Cointreau and Bourbon together. (Cointreau and Bourbon smiling at each other.jpg)
1L [Cointreau My Husband]:
Wherever there is Cointreau, there is me. I rushed over and hugged Cointreau and Bourbon together! Tell me what you found! Don't run!
2L[Gray Moonlight]:
Sit down and wait for the big boss to analyze. Based on my low IQ, I can make a rough inference: did Touzi really find something wrong with Cointreau? Or did Cointreau find out something and he deliberately bit back?
3L [Doherty-465922]:
Wait, did I miss that? Isn't the Cointreau suspected to be Passetto...?
Vodka mentioned it a few words ago, right? Another reason they came to Yokohama was to confirm whether Pasetto was an undercover agent? Why did they say that Cointreau suspected Touko?
4L[Don’t you have your own wife]:
Confused +1, I feel like Jundu has been wandering around these days, not doing anything serious, just being lazy...
He threw all the work to Toruko, so he should trust him, right? Didn't he and Toruko analyze the problem of Pasetto in the bar before?
5L [Cointreau My Husband]:
Is the person above serious? If so, you should go back and read the comics again! Apart from anything else, Cointreau is really not being lazy. He is pretending to be investigating the information related to the Hong Kong underworld and Yokohama...
6L [We specialize in engine repair]:
But I think he had a lot of fun playing Cointreau... I almost died of laughter when he was almost thrown out of the casino because he won too much. If it weren't for Kazuma and Vodka helping him, I think he would have been thrown out for arguing with someone.
He even took Toruko and Kazuma, who were almost exhausted from work, to the sea to go fishing... He even told Toruko, "You look so tired, so I brought you here to relax. You don't have any tasks for the next half day." But the way he relaxed was to turn fishing into a competition with them. Whoever caught less fish would have to work overtime...
He really made me cry. I have never seen such a considerate boss. Even Touko was moved to tears. I feel like this little drama can already be made into a meme.
7L[The couple I support will definitely be happy]:
Damn, Cointreau is really despicable after looking at it this way23333
8L[Melancholy 682]:
Ahem, let’s get back to the topic!! 2L’s correct answer: After reading the conversation between Cointreau and Bourbon in the house, I always felt that something was not right. Why would Bourbon suddenly come into conflict with Cointreau?
But after reading the comic again, I suddenly realized a serious problem - the "suspicion" was not caused by Bourbon, but by Cointreau. Cointreau may have suspected Touko's identity, friends! I won't say more, you can judge by yourself! (Picture 1-4.jpg)
9L [Doherty-465922]:
…Shit. Something seems wrong. That’s what it is.
10L [Yoona]:
Shit! Something is wrong... That's how it is...
11L [There is more than one truth]:
What the hell? Something is really wrong!! That’s what it is!!
12L[Gray Moonlight]:
What the hell are you talking about? ? What pictures did the OP post? I can't see the pictures on the forum overseas, can anyone explain to me what the OP posted? Urgent, urgent, I am the King of Urgent
13L[Agatha Ellen Doyle]:
Let me explain it briefly! I think you have read the previous chapters, right? The picture you posted is a splicing of some of the content in the previous comics. You can flip through the comics and you will find that -
In episode 13 "Secret Operation" and episode 14 "Rest Time", because the old thief was drawn at the end of episode 13, Tohko made a deal with the mysterious man in the bar at night (of course, we now know that it was not in the bar but in the casino, and the mysterious man should be from Takase Society);
Then in episode 14, it was depicted that Scotland caught a cold, so Cointreau brought vodka, and Kazuma went to the casino to play, and after they returned to the hotel, they met Toruko, who then recalled that he contacted Pasetto outside before returning, and the late-night transaction at the end of the previous episode.
——Pay attention here. Everyone thought that Touko’s late-night transaction came first and Cointreau’s operation came later. They did two unrelated things at different times and in different places.
But the weird thing is that the person standing in the corner outside of Toru's room is exactly the same as the thug who showed up when Cointreau was causing trouble in the casino. The Takase Club was also collecting fees at that casino. Toru and the Takase Club were talking when someone suddenly said that someone was causing trouble outside...
——That is to say, Tohru, the people from the Takase Society, Cointreau, Canada, and Vodka all appeared at the same place on the same day!!
14L[Don’t you have your own wife]:
But what if the thief was just being lazy and drew the same face on a passerby? Is it just a coincidence?
Toruko contacted Pasetto and Cointreau to go to the casino on the same day, but Toruko met the Takase-kai people the night before. So, Toruko went to the casino first and Cointreau went the next day? It's normal for someone to cause trouble in the casino... and it doesn't necessarily refer to Cointreau and his people.
And Toru did go to the bar. Isn't the background there the bar that Lao Ze drew earlier where they first met Pasetto? The boss looks the same.
15L [There is more than one truth]:
Haha, the old thief’s trick has failed!
I just noticed a small detail in the picture posted by the original poster. When Cointreau and his friends were leaving, they said, "It suddenly rained today and it stopped raining tonight, so we can go out and play." This proves that it rained that day, but it didn't rain the day before and that evening. However, when Tohko left the place where she had a deal with the Takase Society, there were two used umbrellas placed in the corner of the wall. So Tohko did those two things on the same day! If it was the day before, she wouldn't have used the umbrella at all!
The bar can also be explained. They first went to the bar and exchanged text messages with Cointreau, and then went to the casino to trade inside the casino. There is no conflict between the two. Didn't you notice that the bar background only appeared at the beginning?
So simply restore the true plot sequence is -
Toru and Pasetto met during the day, and pretended to go to a bar at night, but actually went to talk to the people from the Takase Society; and while they were talking, Cointreau was playing the roulette wheel just across the wall from them!
Cointreau was upset because he won too much money and was accused of cheating, so he wanted to cause trouble, but was stopped by Vodka and Kazuma. Later, the others were irritated by Cointreau and took out guns. The situation escalated and even the people sitting next to Toruko and the Takase-kai were alarmed. As a result, Toruko and the Takase-kai only completed half of their work and had to leave early through the back door. The incident ended that day.
16L [Blue Eyes]:
And now it seems that those words of Cointreau are very meaningful...
After entering the casino, Cointreau ordered a glass of bourbon and said, "It's a pity that I didn't see bourbon when I went out, but now I see it."
The person who lost to Cointreau accused him of cheating, but Cointreau looked at the casino and said, "Everyone has their own chips and skills. I am here just because I have a sharper eye and can see more things."
Kazuma and Vodka tried to stop him and said they didn't want to make a big deal out of it, as they had other important things to do. However, Cointreau was not happy about it and said coldly, "This is not a small matter, but a big matter of equal importance."
Before being asked to leave by the casino, he even smiled leisurely to Vodka and said: "You can go back, but can I take my things (chips) back with me? I thought this was the port Mafia's territory."
Before leaving, he smiled and whispered, "What a pity, I failed." He also looked back several times as if he was looking for something...
I originally thought he was talking about chips and was confused as to how he failed… He had already taken away most of them, so he must have made a lot of money. Now looking back, it seems he was actually talking about Touko? ?
According to the real timeline, Tohru was just about to leave at this time, right?
Is that Touko's back as she leaves? I remember someone said she looked like him before... Was Cointreau looking at him? ? (Picture.jpg)
