Chapter 277 Twenty-two Villains

"Eh, I can't go with you today?"

Having just been told that he was being taken over by his father's student Sharon today, Kuroba Kaito was shocked and showed a pitiful expression. He held Akae Nayue's arm and shook it gently twice: "Didn't you say that I should always follow you... Nayue brother?"

If this trick was used on other people, it might have the effect that Kuroba Kaito wanted. After all, he is indeed a child with a cute appearance, polite manners, and high emotional intelligence that makes it difficult for people to dislike him.

However, the person standing in front of him was Chijiang Nayue.

Apart from anything else, Kudo Shinichi, who looks almost exactly like Kuroba Kaito, was about the same age when they first met, so Akae Nagetsu has almost watched this face grow from a child to a teenager, and he has already developed resistance to it. What's more... acting coquettishly is also his special skill (to deal with his friends).

So the black-haired boy whose arm was hugged by the child blinked twice, not only did he not fall for it, but he also took the initiative and said with regret: "It was agreed upon, but we are going to take the statement, it is not convenient to bring the child with us."

"Also, after meeting last night, Teacher Sharon also said that she really wanted to talk to you about her teacher." Akajenna slowly threw out a temptation that Heiyu Kaito couldn't refuse.

The child really stopped moving.

Kuroba Kaito has been investigating the 'accident' of his father's death, and has not stopped until now. Especially after Bodo met Sharon, he couldn't suppress his suspicion... suspecting that this female star might really know something.

Do you know...

In the end, Chijiang Nayue watched very happily as the child followed the people coming from Sharon, looking back every few steps. She only slowly answered the doubts in her heart that the other person tried hard to hide on his face but still revealed a little.

Of course Sharon knew about it. She and he knew exactly how the Black Feather Thief was faking his death, and how the organization now called "Zoo" by Akajinazuki had fought wits and courage with "Phantom Thief Kid".

There was even the fact that there were still a group of zoo surveillance personnel around Kuroba Kaito.

But this is only because the organization has also targeted the zoo. After all, the so-called Pandora they are looking for is somehow related to the organization's goals.

In the eyes of Karasuma Renya, who is now the previous leader, all information related to his goal is worth collecting, just like a crow's eyes are attracted to something shiny. However, after discovering that there was nothing special to pay attention to in the zoo, the previous leader shifted his attention elsewhere.

Sharon paid special attention to the news from the zoo because of Black Feather Thief, who had taught her how to disguise herself and change her voice. As for discovering that he was not dead, it was just an accident.

Originally, Chijiang Nayue had no interest in the zoo, but this time he accidentally picked up Xiao Kuaidou. When he was at the station, he found that there was someone in the dark who was monitoring the child. After returning to the hotel and investigating privately, he found out that it was someone sent by the zoo who suspected that Heiyu Daoyi was not dead.

Logically speaking, Kuroba Kaito, who really knows nothing, will be able to get through these crises safely... But now it is no longer possible, because in the eyes of the zoo, Kuroba Kaito may have established a relationship with the Black Organization.

After all, he had dealt with the zoo people as Kaluuya not long ago, and they knew his identity... Well, sending their illusionist Spider to the police station, how could that not count as dealing with them?

This was also one of the reasons why Chi Jiang Na Yue did not send Kaidou back immediately but kept him with him. He regarded it as a warning to the zoo, similar to telling them that "this child is protected by the organization."

Anyway, he is the boss of the organization now, so whatever he says goes.

In short, after being misled by Akae Nazuki about the relationship between Kuroba Kaito and the organization, the zoo is likely to suspect that Kuroba Touichi is also a member of the organization. Coupled with the prospect that the zoo's senior cadre Spider was killed by the organization's Kalua, they will definitely find ways to retaliate against the organization.

With Huajiu Society eyeing them covetously in front and the zoo salivating behind, both of which are mysterious and dangerous mafia groups, what should they do...?

No, no, no, that's certainly not what he's worried about!

As for this situation where he was surrounded by wolves, Akae Nayue was only worried about one thing: it was too difficult. During the four months when his puppets were in charge, they also weakened the power of Karasuma Renya in the organization... Now he wanted to swallow up these two organizations in one go. Wouldn't it be a bit difficult to digest?

Hmm? As for what to do, isn't that the simplest question?

"Would you like to see a good show?"

In the hotel room where he was the only one left, Chi Jiang Na Yue leaned against the window and spoke lazily, as if he was talking to himself.

After he finished speaking, the only voice in his mind that he could hear replied quite sincerely: [But, dog-eat-dog is not really a good show, right?]

There was a knock on the door at the right time, and the voices of Matsuda Jinpei and others chatting could be heard faintly, and Morobushi Kagemitsu raised his voice a little: "Natsuki, it's time to go!"

The savior by the window stretched his back, turned around and walked towards the door, the smile on his face almost impossible to hide: "That's true, compared to dog-eat-dog, the expressions of the audience watching this scene are more interesting..."

The message he received when he returned to the hotel last night actually revealed a lot of things and almost confirmed Chijiang Nayue's guess.

When they were near the gigolo club, Akae Nazuki was able to say with certainty that the police already had suspects because he believed that one of the suspects was the female manager.

It was probably because there were surveillance personnel around that guy yesterday that the police arrived faster than normal. It was also because of seeing that guy that Officer Takeda stopped talking and suddenly changed his expression and drove them all out.

In the information, although Sharon did not say what mission Binga was doing or where he was, Chijiang Nayue had seen Binga when he was dealing with Rum in the main world.

So, as soon as they met, he recognized that the female manager using the pseudonym "Grace" was actually the future Binga. Once the identities were connected, Chijiang Nayue remembered more things.

For example, although he did not remember the specific mission for which Binga was given the code name, he remembered that a serial killer did appear in Bodo during the time when Binga was given the code name, and the time when the killer appeared and disappeared completely overlapped with the time when Binga was given the code name.

In other words, the criminal the police are looking for in the first three cases is Grace, who is now dressed as a woman and staying in the gigolo club... It's easy to get confused by calling her that, so it's better to just call that guy Binga.

One common point that Chijiang Nayue knew but the police did not find out was that the first three victims were all related to Huajiuhui. This was probably why Binga's code assessment mission required killing those people.

To him, Binga was just an insignificant passerby, and now it has been confirmed that he is a troublesome serial killer. In addition, Binga belongs to the Rum faction. Chijiang Nayue has already made a cold and ruthless plan in his mind and is ready to throw this chess piece out later.

But before selling it, you still have to squeeze out the last value of Binga. If you want to let the dogs fight each other, you have to put a "bait" in the middle.

Chijiang Nayue opened the door and slipped back into her usual cold and taciturn state when she greeted the people outside.

"Sorry for the long wait." After his eyes passed over Matsuda Jinpei's face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Let's go."

—

While waiting for the moon to rise in Akae, Furuya Rei was discussing the details of yesterday's case with Koujinran. However, he turned his head away and looked at Matsuda Jinpei standing beside him in confusion: "...Matsuda, why are you staring at me?"

The curly-haired young man's expression was very complicated, and Fūya Rei even sensed a bit of sympathy in him: "Well, it's nothing."

Matsuda Jinpei was obviously trying not to laugh: "I just wanted to see... what a courageous person looks like."

Hagiwara and the class monitor who understood almost laughed out loud, while the other pair of children who didn't understand couldn't help but have a lot of questions in their heads.

Aren't you really brave enough to provoke the little devil?

As soon as the meeting ended last night, Jinpei Matsuda dreamed of the concurrent timeline that Kenji Hagiwara and the others had talked about, and finally understood why they had that expression when they talked about this matter.

It is really rare to see Rei Furiya whose eye circles are darker than his skin after being beaten!

Especially the Akae Nazuki in that timeline was much colder than they remembered. He didn't hold back at all when he beat Furaya Reitoki, and he was also very smart not to hurt Furaya Reitoki at all. Apart from the dark circles under his eyes, the rest of the injuries were under his clothes.

If they didn't know that Furuya Rei wouldn't just stand there stupidly and get beaten, they would have thought it was a one-sided "campus bullying" instead of a fight agreed upon by the two.

From this point, after laughing, Matsuda Jinpei also realized an important point: before that line, Akae Nazuki had not become friends with them.

This means that the timeline of Rei Furuya is most likely the starting point of this long cycle.

Matsuda Jinpei was also concerned. Since killing Akae Nayue was a condition for time to go back, this would definitely be discovered after going back several times.

So... at the beginning, when no one knew that time would go back, why did Furuya Rei choose to kill Akae Nazuki?

Furuya Rei, who had no idea of ​​what was going on in Matsuda Jinpei's mind, was stunned by that remark. The corner of his mouth twitched: "What are you saying suddenly..."

Hagiwara was crazy last night, so it's Matsuda's turn today?

Furukaya Rei silently pulled his little friend half a step to the side. Even until everyone gathered and got in the car to pick them up, he was still confused about what Matsuda Jinpei meant.

However, after the co-pilot, Officer Takeda, answered the phone, Furuya Rei put aside unnecessary thoughts.

"What?" Officer Takeda frowned, sounding like someone on the other side had brought him some bad news. "...Okay, I got it. You guys secure the scene and wait for me to come over."

There were six of them, so Officer Takeda sent two cars to pick them up. Sitting in the back of one of the cars happened to be Furuya Rei, Morobushi Kagemitsu, and Akae Nazuki. When he was talking, the three of them all looked over there at the same time.

"Did something unexpected happen?" Furuya Rei asked first.

Officer Takeda glanced at them in the rearview mirror, and while instructing his men to turn around, he also told them the news: "We have discovered a vicious murder case, and the victim is probably 'familiar' to you."

"We have actually found the murderer of yesterday's copycat crime," Officer Takeda said solemnly, "but just now, he was found dead in the dressing room of a clothing store in a department store."
