Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The Murder at the Rich Family Banquet (Middle Part…
If Saionji Tamon was just guessing before, now when she saw the director and Awashima-senpai appear here, she was absolutely certain that a person with special abilities had sneaked into this banquet.
The banquet venue was in Tokyo, but it had alarmed the Special Ability Division in Yokohama, indicating that the special ability user should have been under the control of the Special Ability Division. Scepter4 must have been requested by the other party to come to provide assistance as the host. Yuyin quickly came to a conclusion.
"Do you know them?" Atobe Keigo asked her in a low voice.
Although Atobe was a little unhappy with the presence of Suzuki Sonoko and her friends, meeting them at the banquet was a surprise. He didn't originally want to achieve anything, he just wanted to get closer to Yuon in private.
Naturally, he kept an eye on the people he cared about at all times, not missing a single detail. When Yuyin saw the two people, her expression changed, and Tetsuya noticed it almost instantly.
Yuyin was surprised by his sharpness, nodded, and whispered back, "They are acquaintances. I'll have to find a chance to meet them later."
She desperately needs to talk to the head of the department to get some information, but she can't let Mr. Ango find out. She's really troubled.
Atobe understood instantly: "I'll help you."
She had previously claimed that she was hiding from people, so it was naturally inconvenient for her to go to crowded places. But it was different for him. Calculating the time, it was time to visit the host.
After saying that, Atobe said hello to Sonoko and went straight to Matsudaira Yasuyo.
As soon as Atobe left, Sonoko quickly pulled Tamane over and asked with a wink, "Tamane, you came with Atobe? It's really rare that guy would take the initiative to invite a female companion..."
Although the two had already stated it, Miss Sonoko was not blind and did not believe that the two had no relationship at all. At least Atobe Keigo's attitude was very problematic. Maybe he had a one-sided crush on Yuyin? Can't blame her for gossiping. Hahahaha, Atobe Keigo, you actually have this day. Thinking of this, Sonoko felt that she had reversed the frustration she had in front of Atobe before and was proud.
"Yuanzi," Yuyin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You misunderstood. I actually came here with someone else..."
"Yuyin."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Yuyin turned around when she heard the voice and saw her senior brother was already standing a few steps away from the three of them.
"Wow~" Sonoko quickly covered her mouth to suppress her exclamation, and held Xiaolan's hand to express her excitement.
Conan could only sigh that it was a good thing Kyogoku Makoto was not here, otherwise he would have been jealous to death seeing Sonoko's infatuated behavior.
"I heard Master Atobe say you were over here," said Shizuka Deba, wearing a black suit. His classically handsome demeanor was undiminished, and his every move was measured and controlled, like a young master from an ancient noble family. As he approached, he seemed to have just noticed Sonoko and Ran, and showed a slightly surprised expression. "Who are these two?"
Yuyin introduced, "This is Sonoko and Xiaolan, friends I met earlier." She then said to Sonoko and Xiaolan, "This is my senior brother, Shizuka Osamu." After a moment's thought, she added, "I came here with my senior brother today."
Sonoko and Xiaolan quickly leaned over to greet Shizuka Deba and introduced themselves by stating their full names.
Deba Shizuka also bowed slightly in return and said with a smile, "Ms. Suzuki, Ms. Maori, hello, thank you for taking care of Yuyin."
Suzuki Sonoko was immediately struck by the classically handsome man's smile and said dazedly, "No, no, it's us who are being taken care of by Yuyin."
Mao Lilan nodded in agreement: "Yune is very powerful. It was actually my father and I who were taken care of by her last time."
Ran Mao Li was talking about the last rainstorm mansion incident. If it weren't for the intervention of Tamane Saionji, it might have led to a tragedy. She admired Tamane very much for being able to save lives.
Conan's attention was instead focused on something else. Senior brother? This meant that Mr. Deba and Ms. Saionji were from the same school. Only in this kind of relationship would the terms "senior brother" and "junior sister" be used. Otherwise, just calling them "senior" and "junior" would suffice.
So what is the school of thought?
Conan couldn't help but ponder. From what he'd observed about Mr. Deba, his temperament and upbringing suggested he came from a classical, traditional family. The size and placement of the calluses on his hands suggested frequent bowwork. Could he be from a family steeped in archery? And since Miss Saionji's home was a shrine, and as a shrine maiden, she'd practiced archery, that made it most likely that both of them had been trained in it.
Having reached a reasonable conclusion, this question could have been put aside, but Conan's intuition made him feel that the matter was not that simple. Mr. Deba had the same mysterious temperament as Miss Saionji. Considering Miss Saionji's mysterious style in the last mansion incident, Conan had a vague feeling that if he dug deeper, the truth he discovered might not make him as excited and happy as usual.
Sonoko didn't think so much as Conan. She directly pulled Yuyin and whispered in her ear: "Ahhh, I feel that your senior brother is a thousand times better than that kid Atobe. Otherwise, Yuyin, you can kick Atobe away and be with your senior brother."
"Hey, Sonoko..."
Yuyin was helpless. She was another person deceived by her senior brother's gentle appearance. Well, her senior brother was very nice when he was nice, but most of the time, it was hard to describe.
"Yuyin," Dechang Jingsi called her softly again, then turned to Sonoko and Xiaolan and said, "Yuyin and I have some private matters to discuss. I wonder if you two..."
Before he could finish his words, Sonoko immediately took Xiaolan's hand and said, "Xiaolan and I have something to do and need to leave. You guys chat~" Before leaving, she winked at Yuyin, signaling her to seize the opportunity.
Dechang Jingsi smiled and said, "She's a very kind girl. No wonder you're willing to associate with her."
Yuyin glanced at her senior brother unhappily, "You did that on purpose, didn't you? You clearly heard Yuanzi's whisper, and yet you deliberately spoke in such an ambiguous way, causing misunderstanding."
"Hey, I didn't say anything," Deba Shizuka said with a smile, spreading his hands. "It's just that Miss Suzuki has an overactive imagination. Okay, enough teasing, let's get down to business," his expression straightened slightly. "I just ran into Reiji Munakata, and he told me that a dangerous psychic had infiltrated the party. He's from Yokohama, and there are quite a few members of the Psychic Special Agents hiding at the party right now."
On the second day after the demon hunters' gathering ended, Deba Shizuka accepted a visit from the "Blue King" that Yuyin had mentioned, and the two of them exchanged official words.
Reiji Munakata thanked their Changyi Sect for its contribution to society and hoped that both sides could work together in the future to jointly maintain the stability of social order for ordinary people. Shizueji Deba accepted the thanks in full and then tactfully said that exorcising demons was not charity and that there were a lot of people under the Deba Sect who needed to be supported and he was afraid that he would not be able to cooperate.
Reiji Munakata said that money is not a problem. The government has special maintenance funds in this regard. As long as the venue owner is willing to cooperate, he will pay according to the market price of the usual commission.
Only then did Shizuka Deiba smile and express his pleasure in cooperating.
It was only two days ago, so he and Reiji Munakata were still in a new and good partnership. When they met at the banquet, Shizue Deba greeted him and received feedback from his partner. However, he guessed that this information might have been leaked deliberately by the other party, and Reiji Munakata might have known that Tamane was coming to the banquet.
"Oh, yes, Senior Brother, you've already met with the Director," Yuyin finally realized. Senior Brother had mentioned that the two of them would meet. They must have reached an agreement in secret. "You're late in reporting, Senior Brother. I saw Chief Taneda and Mr. Ango. Otherwise, I wouldn't be hiding in this corner."
Dechang Jingsi said thoughtfully, "If you don't want them to recognize you, why not find a chance to leave now?"
From his eagerness to want Natsume-kun to join the Chang family, one can tell how much the Chang family lacks high-end talents now. Junior sister is good in every way, but unfortunately she now has a complicated identity and has multiple roles. If the people from the Special Ability Special Agent Department find her, wouldn't that mean there will be another force competing with him for her, and diverting the time for junior sister to do commissions.
The Matsudaira family banquet was originally a venue he had specially chosen because the other party had no connection with the supernatural side. However, fate played a trick on him. A dangerous person with superpowers sneaked in and attracted the Superpower Special Agent Department. It can only be said that it is impossible for everything to go as planned.
Yuyin shook her head. "Brother, you don't understand the ways of the Special Ability Agents Division. If I don't leave now, I might not be discovered. But if I leave, Mr. Anwu will find me immediately."
Even though only Chief Taneda and Mr. Ango were present, the hall was secretly filled with low-level staff from the Special Branch, making it impossible for the psychic to escape. To apprehend him, the Special Branch must have sifted through the information of all the guests. If she stayed put, it would be fine; as an ordinary guest among the crowd, she wouldn't attract attention. But if she left now, she would definitely be reported to her superior, Mr. Ango, as a suspicious individual, and her cover would be immediately exposed.
Dechang Jingsi frowned slightly: "Is it not possible to use magic to cover up your tracks?"
Yuyin shook her head again. "The Special Ability Division has energy detection equipment. Spiritual energy fluctuations are also a type of energy. In order to capture that special ability user, the Special Ability Division must have brought that kind of equipment to explore."
"There's nothing we can do about it," Deba Shizuka relaxed his brow. This was indeed his mistake. In his previous world, official agencies didn't possess supernormal powers, so he subconsciously underestimated the Special Ability Division. "So, what are your plans?"
Yuyin sighed: "For now, the only solution is to have the Special Branch people capture that special ability user as soon as possible and retreat, so that I don't have to worry."
Deba Jingsi thought about it and decided that this was indeed the best solution. "I wonder who they're trying to capture. If I have any hair or underwear from them, I could offer to help them find him."
A demon hunter is also a type of sorcerer. Although this title is now occupied by another world, little tricks like finding people and things are not difficult for Shizuka Deba.
While the two were talking, a voice suddenly interrupted them.
"Maruyama Shoichi was released from the Tokyo Prison two years ago. A month ago, he was discovered in Yokohama by the Special Ability Division as a psychic. His psychic ability is [Chameleon], which allows him to completely transform into the appearance of the person whose DNA he is acquiring. His psychic ability is estimated to be B-level, but because his ability poses a great potential threat to secret agencies at all levels, he is currently wanted as an A-level psychic."
Munakata Reiji walked up to the two of them, pushed up his glasses, and put on a faint smile. "I'm sorry, I just happened to hear you talking about this, so I spoke without permission. I hope I didn't disturb you."
