Chapter 60 The First Player
Then, Kenji Hagihara, who heard the noise not far away, arrived late. Cointreau regretfully withdrew and instead performed a "weak and innocent little white flower" scene in front of Kenji Hagihara. In the middle, he also interspersed some memories of Kenji Hagihara and "Chiaki Hanemoto" when they first met in a convenience store, explaining the reason why the two knew each other.
[Previously it was "he accidentally shot himself", now it is "he was too nervous", officer, don't you think this scene looks familiar? (doge) Hagiwara, don't be fooled by beauty! ]
【Telling a joke: Serious ordinary citizen Cointreau】
[What does the Cointreau incident have to do with me, Chiaki Yuen? By the way, I suggest that the police give Cointreau the "Outstanding Citizen of Rice Flower Award". Who wouldn't say that this is a brave act?]
[I got to know two policemen and made friends with them. I don't think it's strange to apply this to Cointreau… Very good, the stereotype of Cointreau has been successfully +1]
[I just want to know where Cointreau's acting class is... He changes his face seamlessly in a second, and the criminals are dumbfounded. There is really no sense of incongruity when Cointreau puts on a little white flower with this face. Teacher, I also want to learn this! ]
A few words dispelled Hagiwara Kenji's doubts. After separating from the long-haired police officer in uniform, the long-haired young man turned around and his expression immediately changed from warm and harmless to cold and sharp in a second. He lowered his head and indifferently sent a message to his companion with the note "Bourbon", righteously asking him to help clean up the mess.
While he was having dinner and shopping with the Miyano sisters, Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara and others were still taking the criminal back to the Metropolitan Police Department in a police car - on the other side, other professionals from the explosion squad were going to dismantle the bomb hidden in the hospital.
The comic then puts the two sides of the picture together for comparison - on one side, Cointreau, who is shopping with a look of despair, receives the news and pictures that Bourbon is "finished", and on the other side, Matsuda and Hagiwara encounter an accidental "explosion" on the road while transporting the prisoner, and the prisoner disappears without a trace.
The contrast between the relaxed and comfortable scene on one side and the anxious and exhausted scene on the other side was so striking that even Saikai Haruto couldn't help but want to laugh.
Before Akemi Miyano and Shiho Miyano separated, when the two sisters talked about "Cointreau", Shiho Miyano kindly reminded her sister that Cointreau was too dangerous and not to get too close to him, probably because Akemi Miyano was too casual with him... But Akemi Miyano unexpectedly had a good impression of Cointreau and asked her sister why she resisted and hated Cointreau.
Shiho Miyano did not answer this question, but interspersed a short passage of her memories - about the scene when she first saw "Cointreau" three years ago.
As Haruto Nishimi read the comic, he realized belatedly how dangerous, scary and frightening he was in Shiho Miyano's eyes three years ago - he almost bumped into her when he appeared, he reeked of blood and tobacco, he carried a gun, his eyes were impatient and fierce, and he threatened Akemi Miyano... In short, he was as bad as he could be.
Xi Haiqing Dou fell silent as he watched - he almost wished that time could go back to three years ago and slap himself in the face. Why didn't he realize that he was like that at that time?
As expected, even the barrage of comments was filled with condemnation.
[Cointreau three years ago... Has this become a psychological shadow for Sulli? Oh my god, Sulli was only 11 years old three years ago. Cointreau, you really did a lot of bad things.]
[It's really despicable, even more despicable than now… Damn, Cointreau three years ago really had the feeling of a perverted killer, although his current image is not much better.]
[Give a hug to our frightened Shirley baby, I pity her so much, who wouldn't be scared in this situation?]
The girl in the comic recalled their first meeting three years ago, and also thought of another man who was a little different and even a little "gentle" whom she met in recent days and today with her sister. In the end, she couldn't help but fall into confusion - has he changed in these three years, or has she never really understood what kind of person he is?
But the only thing that can be confirmed is that after today, she is indeed not so afraid of Jundu anymore.
So in the end, Miyano Shiho still did not tell Miyano Akemi about her fear of Cointreau.
The last scene switched to Furuya Rei, a blond-haired, dark-skinned, baby-faced young man who was sending a message to Kundu while secretly bringing the criminal into his hands with his subordinates... This is the real ending of the episode.
As Xihai Qingdou expected, the gang did not kill the man, but took him away quietly using their police identities.
Fortunately, whether he takes people away or kills them, as long as the identity of "Kundo" is not exposed, it doesn't matter to Xihai Qingdou.
It seems that he has achieved another goal of taking Miyano Shiho out to play... Is taking children out to play the key to improving favorability? Saikai Haruto pondered.
This made him feel much better.
After finishing reading the comic, Saikai Haruto opened the forum.
After this statement was made, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagihara appeared together, and with the addition of Cointreau and Bourbon, the topic became a hot topic in the forum, and there were quite a few posts talking about "Cointreau".
The appearance of "Cointreau" can be said to run through the entire episode. Although he can be said to have done nothing bad in this incident, and even did a lot of "good things", and even took the risk of "destroying Cointreau's image"... Even Saikai Haruto himself was prepared to see readers quarreling on the forum.
But even if they had a quarrel, if he were given the choice again, Xi Haiqing Dou would still do the same thing.
Things like "whitewashing" need to be paved step by step in advance. If a villain who has committed all kinds of evil is suddenly whitewashed, it will cause dissatisfaction among readers, but it will be much easier to whitewash a villain who has a controversial foundation.
Consider it as a vaccination he gives to readers in advance.
Although making the bomb explode would look more like the style of the organization member Cointreau, if he really did that, it would be the biggest ooc for the real, "undercover Cointreau".
——Even if she is an "offline undercover agent", "Yu Yuan Qian Qiu" will not really choose to "turn a blind eye" when she can help solve the problem.
On the other hand, quarreling also means "topic degree"... Quarreling is not scary, what is really scary is that no one mentions it and it is forgotten. To a certain extent, Xi Haiqing Dou also hopes that they can quarrel more.
What he didn't expect was that... the vast majority of readers had no opinions. For some reason, they were very tolerant of Cointreau's various behaviors.
[Plot Analysis | The new episode "The Bomb on the Ferris Wheel" seems to contain a lot of information? Anyway, I'll save it here for the time being]
[Agatha Ellen Doyle]:
First, in terms of interpersonal relationships - in this episode, Cointreau knows Matsuda and Hagiwara, and Matsuda and Hagiwara are good friends... I'm a little shocked, Cointreau, you are a real wine with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how can you be friends with the police! What's wrong with you! !
(PS: I really want to tell Hagiwara and Matsuda to run away… It feels like watching two naive people close their eyes and run into the big bad wolf's pocket… When I think about how Matsuda and Hagiwara now think Cointreau is a weak naive person, this feeling becomes even more subtle… Wake up, both of you!!)
Then it was Toru and Hagiwara. I don't know if anyone noticed, but after Toru received the message from Cointreau, he called immediately. After hanging up, he asked his subordinates (I guess it was Fumiaki) to investigate the case… Of course, the most important thing was that he also said Hagiwara's name in his heart! He even frowned when holding the photos of Matsuda and Hagiwara!
That is to say, Toru, Matsuda and Hagiwara must know each other!
...This is exciting, my friends! I am looking forward to seeing Cointreau, Hagiwara Matsuda and Toru appear together in the future. It will be very interesting, you know what I mean, old thief! (doge)
1L[Melancholy 682]:
Oh yeah, it's an analysis post! I'll come right here!
It's obvious that you want to see some excitement! My suggestion is to just start the fight! That kind of scene... I guess Touzi would be scared to death 233333
Looking at it this way, if Furuya Rei really knew Matsuda, then it would make more sense that he was so shocked when he installed a bug on Cointreau and heard Matsuda's voice... I can't even imagine how big the psychological shadow was for him at that time, hahaha.
2L [Triangle is the most stable]:
Furuya Rei: I split open.jpg
Cointreau: Bourbon, you don't want Hagiwara and the others to know your identity, right? (bushi)
What kind of top-level Shura field is this? Le, I love to see more! You guys are too detailed in reading comics.
3L[Agatha Ellen Doyle]:
As for other interpersonal relationships... It is very obvious that Matsuda and Hagiwara are a pair of good friends. Matsuda took the initiative to investigate the case in order to resolve Hagiwara's emotional knot, and he even left a will for Hagiwara... Matsuda is really, I cried to death, and the brotherhood between the two is also quite interesting.
The sisterhood between Shiho and Akemi is also very good! I will always be a sister's girl! Akemi's appearance has not been very much, but she is really good to Shiho. When she was out of the Ferris wheel, she subconsciously held Shiho in her arms. In order to make the relationship between Shiho and Cointreau better, she even dared to drag Cointreau to go shopping together! Sister, you are this (thumbs-up.jpg)
Cointreau's attitude towards Matsuda and Hagiwara is also quite interesting. I personally tend to think that Cointreau has not yet revealed his identity in front of Matsuda and the others, otherwise Cointreau would not have let Toruko go through such a drastic ending. But to say how sincere Cointreau is to Matsuda and the others... it is also very subtle. If he cares, he would not have told Toruko that if he is exposed, he would kill Hagiwara as well. In short, I don't understand what Cointreau wants to do. Is he trying to play a cop-and-robber game? Anyway, we have to wait and see how the old thief draws this later.
Ah, and the relationship between Cointreau and Tou-ge actually seemed to be quite good, contrary to my expectation... Cointreau was relieved to leave the final touches to Tou-ge, but unfortunately, his sincerity was misplaced in the end (laughs)
4L [Doherty-465922]:
Personally, I feel that Jundu probably didn't want to kill Hagiwara. It seems more like he was deliberately making harsh remarks in order to deceive Furuya Rei?
After all, Coindo doesn't know the relationship between Hagiwara and Bourbon. From his perspective, if he regards Hagiwara as a friend, he probably doesn't want this to be discovered by the people in the organization, right?
Of course, given Cointreau's dark heart, it wouldn't be surprising if he played a cop-and-robber game. But now, I think we can still appreciate the "friendship" of these three people. The friendship combination of a naive policeman and a white-faced but black-hearted criminal is also very interesting!
5L[Yoona]:
Yes, I love them all! I even love Mingmei x Cointreau. Is that okay? I didn’t expect Cointreau to go shopping with Mingmei and not get angry. He even responded to Mingmei’s conversation. I really like this! My ex-boyfriend didn’t even have the patience to go shopping with me. Apart from other things, Cointreau is really a good man!
The main feature of our omnivore party is that we can eat anything even if we are stubborn.
6L [Yu Yuan Chiaki my husband]:
Off topic, the Cointreau in this episode is so handsome, I'm crazy about it! It feels like I've unlocked a new Cointreau, who cooks for Shiho and takes care of her, likes to eat cotton candy and ride the Ferris wheel, and does "one good deed a day"... What kind of new husband is this specially provided for the second dimension!
Although it is a bit different from the previous image, it is even more attractive! Damn, men like this only exist in the second dimension. Give Cointreau a big kiss.jpg
7L [Chisaki Hanebuchi]:
Ah, if a man like this existed in the three-dimensional world, I would just call him and send him to the police station.
8L[Don’t you have your own wife]:
Damn, don’t make me laugh upstairs... You are a stubborn person, right?
Back to the topic, this episode of Cointreau is indeed... a little ooc? I was really surprised that he would defuse the bomb. It feels a bit unlike his usual style. Isn't Yuyuan always crazy and wants everyone to be finished?
Although it is also very happy that he saved Matsuda's life by defusing the bomb... Honestly, I thought Matsuda was going to die, and I almost cried () Fortunately, Cointreau's magic saved him. (PS: I scolded him and said sorry for doubting Cointreau before this episode... Cointreau, I blamed you wrongly! Who would have thought that you were actually doing good things in this episode?!)
But when I think about how Cointreau's character is a little ooc because of this, it makes me feel a little awkward...
9L[Black hair natural curls]:
I actually like this part... Martyrdom literature is not popular now! Xiao Zhenping is living a good life for me! Thank God for Cointreau! How can a gangster do good things? I will buy a Cointreau sign and burn incense every day. (Amitabha.jpg)
My heart almost stopped when I saw Xiao Zhenping sending text messages to Kenji-chan. I thought that both the marriage and the death of the spouse were going to be accomplished within one day... Xiao Zhenping is really to my taste. Can there be more of this cool-looking dude?
10L[Zhongyuan Silk]:
Matsuda is really handsome - Kenji-chan is also handsome - it’s really fun to have two handsome guys appear at the same time, especially since no one was injured in this episode (except the criminal), so it’s a blessing to be able to appreciate their looks!
(Goes on stage) (Adjusts his tie) (Looks very dignified) (Clears throat) (Opens microphone): I am Matsuda and Kenji-chan's dog!! (Listens to applause) (Bows) (Looks elegant) (Humble) (Leaves in clean leather shoes)
11L [Doherty-465922]:
Burn, burn incense... I can't stand it anymore, but it's like hell, hahahaha. 9L wake up, Cointreau is still alive (?)!!
12L [There is only one truth]:
Actually, the character design is pretty good. Although it’s a bit surprising, but it’s not surprising when I think about it being Cointreau… It’s a bit subversive but not much.
After all, this guy is capable of anything. I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly wants to blow up Tokyo Tower in the next episode. Cointreau has been around for so long, haven't you gotten used to his style?
I think the reason why Cointreau took action is actually very simple. In the comic, the old thief said it very clearly through Cointreau's words:
First, he thought that "it is very unethical to set off a bomb on the Ferris wheel" - although it sounds like a joke, it is really funny for a member of an organization to say that someone "has no civic sense", but Cointreau's words cannot be translated directly sometimes. From Cointreau's point of view, the focus of this sentence is actually on the "Ferris wheel" - yes, the focus is actually because Cointreau likes Ferris wheels and took this Ferris wheel! So he thinks that the person who set off the bomb "has no civic sense".
Secondly, Cointreau thinks it is more "interesting" to see the bomber's "distorted face" when his plans are thwarted and his hopes are dashed than to see the bomb explode.
I personally think this is the main reason... Considering Cointreau's ego and bad taste, this reason is too real, it is totally what Cointreau would do. Especially since this bomb was his work, but it was "reformed" by the prisoners... Doesn't this guy have to be satisfied? If he is dissatisfied with others (referring to the prisoners), he will suffer, so sad (fortunately.jpg).
The third point is that he "scared the children" and "ruined Cointreau's plan" - if the first two reasons were why Cointreau defused the bomb, then this one was why Cointreau wanted to kill the criminal.
The "little friend" is definitely Shiho. Although Cointreau in Shiho's memory is really despicable, it must be said that Cointreau is actually quite good to Shiho. He even takes her and Akemi out to play and ride the Ferris wheel together, and even shares all his cotton candy with Shiho...
From the previous Yokohama crossover, we can see that Cointreau is actually quite protective. When he was half-believing and half-doubting Paco, he still promised him that he would "not do it to him himself." Shiho was frightened by the bomb and became suspicious of Cointreau. Given Cointreau's personality, it is impossible not to be angry... This also indirectly destroyed his plan at the beginning of the comic to "take the Miyano sisters out to relax and play", so it is normal for him to want to kill the criminal.
So if we analyze it carefully, Cointreau is not ooc... What's wrong with that? Real liquor can't do good things, right? (?) You have a stereotype!
13L [Outstanding Graduate of Mao]:
I worship the boss... the analysis is so thorough! The more you write, the more you mix! Cointreau is such a free-spirited person! The main point of Crazy Criticism is that no one can guess what he is thinking.
14L [Sunny and cheerful big boy]:
Boss, I got it! So that's it! As expected of you, Cointreau, very good, not OOC at all!
By the way, I quietly put some root wax on my unlucky little Pa who didn't know how to live or die. I hope he can still be alive (silence)
19L [Kesai Gao]:
I think there may be another reason. Do you remember Cointreau's "Do one good deed a day"? Maybe Cointreau wants to meet another KPI today?
20L[Melancholy 682]:
Damn, this is a joke, right? But don't tell me it's possible, it's really very Confucian. After all, he helped Hagiwara catch the robbers, what can't he do?
The winery also has its own Nakahara Chuuya (?), who can help old ladies cross the street, Junmen (hands together.jpg)
21L [Brewery Broker]:
I am laughing so hard, haha, Cointreau/Chuya: Who are you looking down on?! What kind of new Chuanyuan Cointreau is this?
But then again, do you really think that Cointreau's appearance there was a coincidence? Although Cointreau said it was a coincidence, but if there are too many coincidences, it's not a coincidence... Ai and I have the same idea, could it be related to the mission of the winery?
22L [Yu Yuan Chiaki my husband]:
No way? I think my husband's personality is a bit weird, but he doesn't have to lie to Ai. If he really went on a mission, it's not something he can't tell. It won't scare Ai if he tells her in advance.
Looking at the condescending look in his eyes when he was looking for the criminal later, it was obvious that he was angry... It was obvious that this was not in his plan.
23L[Gray Moonlight]:
Before his death, Xiao Pa cursed Cointreau for being a jerk. Do you still trust Cointreau? Be careful not to count money for Cointreau when you are sold one day.
I agree with 21L, there are indeed too many coincidences... For example, Shiho and the others were in cabin 67, but Cointreau was in cabin 72; the bomb also happened to have the mark of Cointreau... I don't believe it if you say it's all coincidence.
24L [Agatha Ellen Doyle]:
This is another point I want to make... In fact, I tend to believe that Cointreau was not on this mission specifically or by chance, but it is not certain whether this prisoner is related to the winery - these are two different things.
(Picture.jpg) I wonder if anyone noticed this - before Cointreau got on the Ferris wheel, his eyes were looking in this direction. If you look closely, this silhouette is exactly the same as the back of Cointreau when he was chasing the criminal. So at this time, I guess Cointreau must have discovered something, so he sat in cabin 72. So this is not a coincidence.
25L[Your male god is 1.6 meters tall]:
6. Do you use a microscope to read comics? Even Leeuwenhoek is not as meticulous as the OP. I feel like I don't fit in with you guys and I feel inferior.
26L [Blue Eyes]:
I agree with the original poster! I feel like the criminal this time might be related to the winery? In the end, Touko took the man back to the police. I wonder if Touko also noticed it.
27L [Akai is also one]:
Damn, if the criminal is really from the winery, then did Cointreau send one of its own in again?
Okay, this is very Cointreau.
