Chapter 20 The First Player
17L [Your male god is 1.6 meters tall]:
I pay my respects to you, you are so meticulous! This detail is amazing!
Shit, I thought the "bourbon" thing was really a joke from Cointreau? Turns out he was actually hinting that Tohko was also here? I feel like I'm reading a fake comic... The suspenseful story of the old thief is really over! So Cointreau has already started to suspect Tohko at this time, right?
18L[Melancholy 682]:
And it's not just the casino incident, there's also the sea fishing incident in Chapter 14. Didn't Cointreau bring two undercover agents with him?
Actually, I suspect that they were also testing each other... Of course, this is just my intuition and I have no evidence (laughs)
19L[The couple I support will definitely be happy]:
Huh? ? Isn't episode 14 about leisure time? I thought this episode was about everyone spending the winery's funds and having fun eating, drinking and having fun? Isn't that the case -
20L[Gray Moonlight]:
Emmm, actually I also felt that there was something wrong with episode 14.
After all, isn't this chapter about an important deal between the organization and the Hong Kong underworld? It feels a bit inconsistent to suddenly insert a daily life in the middle of such a tense and exciting (?) scene... It turns out that it seems like daily life, but in fact, there are undercurrents behind the scenes!
Jundu, you are awesome!
21L[Ask is Science]:
This... the casino incident is fine, but the sea fishing is a bit far-fetched, right?
Let's first review what happened in the sea fishing incident: Kazuma bought a skateboard and prepared to go out for fun (yes! This incident was actually caused by Asahina Kazuma!), but was caught by Cointreau, so Cointreau was very interested and said he wanted to go with them, and then Cointreau took Furuya Rei with him, saying that he would give him a holiday. Later, Vodka and Morobushi Kagemitsu followed them, pretending to be tourists.
As a result, Jundu found that no one was playing with him after playing at the beach for a while (PS: Asahina and Furuya Rei were playing by themselves without him), so he angrily opened a competition - to see who caught more fish between Asahina and Furuya Rei, and the loser would have to work overtime for a day, and he would be the referee (PSS: As a result, this clever guy was the referee and made trouble at the same time);
In the end, the two of them tied, so they each worked overtime for half a day (PS: Touzi's leave was wasted! Poor, Touzi, poor), and finally Cointreau exposed Vodka and they all went home together.
So what's the problem? It was Asahina's idea to go back to the beach, not Cointreau's; Toru was taken away temporarily during overtime; and nothing unexpected happened in the process, right?
22L [Cointreau My Husband]:
On the same floor, I only saw Jundu’s full persecution 2333.
23L[Fibonacci Sequence]:
Uh, but I still feel something is wrong... Why did they only call Furuya Rei and not Morobushi Kagemitsu when they went out to play? And Vodka, if they hadn't taken the initiative to follow, wouldn't there be only three of them? By the way, they didn't bring Morobushi Kagemitsu to the casino either.
I still suspect that Junto did it on purpose. He asked Kazuma, "Do you think it's okay now?" and then he said, "I always feel like there's a cat missing here." I always feel like he was hinting at something... I'm guessing that the cat means "catching mice," which means traitor?
After analyzing the casino incident, I now feel that Cointreau's conversation with the passerby at the beach seems to have a deeper meaning... He even said that the passerby looked familiar! Does the passerby also have a hidden role?
24L[Dust-free Land]:
Are you overthinking it? Wasn't it a tacit agreement that Vodka and Cointreau would follow from the beginning? You don't really think that Cointreau only recognized it at the end, do you?
Then in the dialogue, why can't Cointreau really like cats? In the next frame, Cointreau is chasing after someone else's cat and teasing it. Didn't Cointreau also say that passersby are familiar to the public?
25L [nickname is country]:
Don't really think of Cointreau as a god... I don't have a brain, so I just treat episode 14 as a joke. It's just like the swimsuit episode that every anime has, except that you are a man in a swimsuit, not a woman.
36L [Whiskey Group Fights for Me]:
Uh, so what this means is that after all is said and done, the undercover agent that Cointreau suspects is, on the surface, Pasetto, but in fact, it's just a cover, and the person he actually suspects is Touko?
37L [Agatha Ellen Doyle]:
It is also possible that both of them are suspicious. After all, who said there is only one undercover agent? (Funny)
Seriously speaking, looking at the several transactions between Pasetto and Tougo, as well as his communication with Cointreau, the possibility that he is also an undercover agent is indeed very high. Cointreau's suspicion of Tougo does not affect his suspicion of Pasetto.
38L [Doherty-465922]:
Isn't it common sense that all wineries produce watered-down wine?
Of course, it could also be a coincidence. After all, it was just a casino incident. How did Cointreau know where Tohko was? There are no details in the comics. What if they really had telepathy? (No).
39L[Melancholy 682]:
If that's the case, how do we explain the look in Cointreau's eyes when he was looking at Touzi's back on the boat at the bottom of the harbor when they were doing business with the Hong Kong gangs?
Another point to note is that after the transaction was completed, Cointreau let Bourbon drive away alone. So when they were tracked later, Cointreau naturally let Bourbon go to the hotel alone to pick up the luggage.
Logically speaking, Bourbon is just an intelligence officer with "average skills". Cointreau just let him go alone and didn't even assign him a stronger fighter. Isn't he afraid that something might happen to him along the way?
We all know that Toruko opened and searched Cointreau's suitcase in the hotel (Toruko, you are worthy of being the one who scored a 6). Although we know that such an action is indeed a very normal operation for Toruko, other people may not know it and may not think too much about it; but Cointreau specifically asked Toruko in the stairs of the safe house: "Cointreau: "By the way, my luggage... no one has touched it, right?""
Then after going downstairs, he never asked Bourbon about the suitcase again.
Cointreau is definitely suspecting that Touko is just hiding it! Thinking back to their conversation about "undercover", it seems that Touko is the most dangerous one...
40L[Gray Moonlight]
Shit, wait, aren’t these Touzi and the others… Touzi is in danger!!
41L [Yuen Chiaki single push]:
Shit, very likely!
Touzi is in danger! Window, building, white paper, Bourbon, run! !
42L[Ask is Science]:
Damn, you are worthy of it!
Cointreau, don't be so ridiculous. Is this the strength of the winery's real liquor?
43L [Mao Outstanding Graduate]:
Oh shit, that’s what it is!
Oh my god, Jundu is so scary! In one word, it's terrible.
44L[Don't stop]:
Damn, don't ruin the atmosphere upstairs with a sudden sand sculpture 23333
The problem is that when I first watched this part of the story, I didn’t realize that Cointreau had these intentions…
45L [There is more than one truth]:
I'm curious about 41L. Your avatar is Akai Shuichi, your ID is Cointreau Single Push, and the one you're worried about is Amuro Toru. So who is your idol? (Funny) You guys change your names really fast.
46L [Yu Yuan Chiaki single push person]:
Back upstairs, my wall is of course each of them! (正正气壯.jpg)
Just after deciding on Cointreau’s name, I changed it.
47L [Silver Hair Natural Curls]:
What? Is it confirmed that the name of Cointreau is Yuyuan Qianqiu? Is it that my village has access to the internet or did I miss it?
I thought this name was the pseudonym he gave to fool Matsuda?
48L[Yoona]：
You probably didn't notice it upstairs, but in today's new episode, before going downstairs, Jundu had a conversation with a mysterious person named "Xun". "Xun" also called him "Yuyuan Qianqiu" on the phone, so everyone guessed that "Yuyuan Qianqiu" might be Jundu's real name!
The dialogue in this episode is particularly interesting. I was so amused when Jundu was abandoned by others. His expression when he was called "stupid Yuyuan" was so cute! I blindly support "Xun" who will appear in the later plots. I wonder if the old thief will add his face next time.
[Link: Saving Water | Pictures speak louder than words, Cointreau is really named after it! Who is the mysterious person who appears in this episode? ]
49L [Silver Hair Natural Curls]:
Wow, I'm going to go over and take a look! The title of this analysis post is so outrageous 23333
50L [Doherty-465922]:
The new character is so handsome, even if it's just a profile... After all, such a handsome face can't be an ordinary passerby, right? By the way, wait for a follow-up appearance.
51L[Ask is Science]:
That's not necessarily true. Aren't there many beautiful passers-by like you who only appeared in one episode and then disappeared? For example ■■ (lightly)
52L[Akai is also one]:
Who the hell are you, shut up!
…
57L [Blue Eyes]:
How could Tohko be in danger? You guys upstairs should use your brains and think about the timeline! Bourbon hasn't been exposed in the main story of the manga, how could he be exposed in the flashback?
I think it's better to worry about Cointreau. What if the big guy's guess is true? There's also a possibility that Cointreau noticed it and was cut off by Touzi and the others... In this way, it doesn't seem to be exposed (laughs)
58L[Don't stop]:
So it's not Bourbon that's in danger, but Cointreau? Grass, it's born.
59L[Gray Moonlight]:
Then I will write a big "poor" on Cointreau's thigh... Vodka said that Gin also called Acai over, so isn't Cointreau surrounded by undercover agents? Big brother is confused, big brother! !
…
82L[They must be real]:
Just whisper it and no one thinks that Cointreau and Touzi are a good match? What about I see through you being an undercover but I won't tell you, or love-hate relationship or something like that?
When they were telling each other who was the undercover agent, they smiled at each other, and then they both looked down on each other. It was so synchronized! I was hooked.
83L[Falling Whale]:
Hey! Is there anyone else who is into this like me?
I got into it there too. I wanted to just push them on the head. It's killing me 2333
84L[Do you think I still have a chance?]:
? Is there anyone who supports this couple? I advise you not to be too outrageous. Cointreau and Furuya Rei's respective CPs have already been locked, okay?
85L[Ask is Science]:
??? Is it coming again?
86L[The couple I support will definitely be happy]:
No way... Don't fight here! This post is not about CP! !
87L [Outstanding Graduate of Mao]:
Damn, don't be so ky in this post, aren't there enough posts out there for you guys to kowtow to? I'll open a portal for you guys right now!
[Link: Am I the only one who noticed this? Cointreau and Bourbon seem to have a bit of a cat-like relationship]
【Link: What I said today is that they must be having an affair! 】
【Link: 818|We are all fan-made, so there won’t be anyone who would consider their fan-made CP as the official one and forbid others from revising it, right?】
88L[[Blue Eyes]:
Damn, you are so mean... Just looking at the title of the third post, it sounds like a bloody storm.
89L [Cointreau My Husband]:
Here it comes again, your CP party strength in the Ko forum is yyds.
90L[It's a little deer]:
It turns out that everyone has been too idle recently... The main story has not been updated, so I can only fight back and forth with the plot of the winery flashback. Even the updates here are slow. So when will the old thief update! !
These readers have really wild imaginations. They have exaggerated him into a god who can think of ten steps before he takes one step. They can come up with a flower out of a sentence.
There are also people who put him and Doshi together. I want to see if he will sit with Doshi Dazai in the future...
Xi Haiqing Dou felt inexplicably guilty: it was not so much that he was amazing, but rather that the readers on the forum were more amazing. He could not be compared with people like Dostoyevsky and Dazai Osamu who were so wise that they were almost demons.
He could only half-act and half-guess about the casino incident. Haidiao was testing Asahina, saying that he accidentally forgot about it because he was having so much fun later. But the passerby did have a "hidden identity".
Judging from the reactions on the forum, he has inadvertently created a "high IQ" persona for himself?
Xi Hai Qing Dou browsed the forum for another half an hour, then closed the post and pressed his eyebrows.
In general, the forum readers are quite satisfied with the impression and discussion about him and "Mochizuki Kaoru" - maybe his looks played a role, anyway, this time everyone regarded him as a "high IQ" setting, so it was pretty smooth. Although the discussion about "Mochizuki Kaoru" is less, it is better than nothing.
Of course, to some extent, we also have to thank Kaoru Mochizuki for having a handsome face - if he looked too ordinary, he might not even make any splash.
After closing the forum and checking again to see if he had received any other messages, Xi Haiqingdou turned on his computer, thought about it, and sent an email to someone.
The next morning, after a simple breakfast (instant noodles), Xi Haiqingdou continued to fiddle with his computer. No matter what others asked, he only answered with one word - "wait".
"If you really feel bored, you can go upstairs and chat with the two people from the Takase Society to kill some time," he kindly suggested.
Asahina sighed in confusion, "I already looked for them yesterday... but it was a pity that there was no point at all. I really don't know why you still keep them, Jundu."
Saikai Haruto: "Takase has betrayed our allies so cruelly. As good partners of the Port Mafia, we should at least help them cut down some of their branches before we leave, right?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei: ...I've never seen anyone describe cheating others in such a sanctimonious and refreshing way.
When the clock struck twelve noon, there were suddenly two rhythmic knocks on the door.
When everyone in the room was tense and some even took out their guns and prepared to aim, Xi Haiqingdou closed his computer and clapped his hands, then calmly stood up, walked straight to the door and opened it directly.
The black-haired man wearing a black knitted hat, a black suit, and a black bass bag raised his head, revealing a cold and handsome face. With a faint smile in his dark green eyes, he greeted Xi Haiqingdou familiarly: "Teacher, long time no see."
