Chapter 279 Twenty-four Villains
When Yi Dahang pointed out that Gavin's lipstick color was the same as the manager's last night, the first guess in everyone's mind was that the other party couldn't be a woman disguised as a man. But when Gavin said that he had a sister, they all thought of the manager and guessed that was the sister Gavin was talking about.
This can barely explain the problem of lipstick color, but it brings up a new problem.
Why would a tall man who is dressed normally and without makeup put on his sister's lipstick? I can't understand what he is thinking, right?
Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed secretly. He was not at the scene when the case happened last night. Although he later heard the retelling of the incident from his friends, he still had no clear understanding of the incident. Now that this case was connected to last night, it became difficult for him to push the case further.
After all, the information he knew through retelling was always less than what his friends knew on the spot.
Therefore, Morobushi Kagemitsu's attention was not entirely on the case over there. He paid a little attention to the black-haired boy standing next to them.
At first, the other person seemed to be chatting with someone on his phone. Although he didn't try to peek, the angle still allowed Morobushi Jingguang to catch a glimpse of the other person's profile picture.
A portrait of a child that looks like a scaled-down version of the friend in front of him.
The black-haired, red-eyed kid above looks no older than seven years old. His gaze is cast to the side, as if he is looking at someone outside the camera. His face is filled with an angelic, innocent and sweet smile, which makes one's heart soften as soon as one looks at this photo.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was shocked: Could the person opposite be the female star from last night?
Such a beautiful lady who looks so graceful and elegant actually changed her profile picture on social media to a photo of her child when he was little. Are you a mother who loves to show off her child?
Just by looking at the profile picture, no one could imagine that this is the childhood Chijiang Nayue. The happy smile of the child in the picture shows how lonely the boy, no, young man, who always keeps people at a distance, is now.
Maybe other people don't remember, but in fact, when he met Akae Nayue for the second time, Morobushi Kagemitsu felt that the other person's last name sounded very familiar, but he didn't remember anything special at that time and thought he was thinking too much.
At this moment, the phrase "Akae Nazuki's mother" came into his mind, and Morobushi Jingguang immediately remembered why he felt that it sounded familiar - he met a lady named Akae in high school, and she seemed to have a son who was only two years younger than him. Morobushi Jingguang didn't have time to think too much, and Akae Nazuki beside him seemed to have seen some interesting news, and the corners of her lips curled up quietly, and then suddenly turned off her phone and turned to look at him.
"Jingguang, I'm going to make a phone call." Akajina Yue was quite nice to Morobushi Jingguang, and her tone was not as cold as it was at the beginning. Instead, it was as calm as if they were talking to each other normally. "Could you please tell the others for me?"
The two of them were standing closest to the door, so there was no need for them to squeeze in to report. This favor was a piece of cake for Zhufu Jingguang, so he nodded and agreed without much concern, watching the young man leave the scene with brisk steps.
Akae Nayue's departure did not cause much commotion. Matsuda Jinpei and others noticed it and asked Morobushi Kagemitsu about it, then got the answer and left him alone. They returned to the scene, where the three suspects were still being questioned by the police.
At this time, Officer Takeda inexplicably took a cell phone from his subordinate and handed it back to Gavin. Gavin looked down and everyone around him could hear him exclaiming, "Ha... Excuse me, I have to answer the phone."
Since his suspicion was indeed the least serious besides entering the women's clothing store, the police did not make it difficult for him and let him run to a small corner alone to make a phone call.
Fūya Rei tried to hold back, but still frowned tightly: "How can I..."
If a suspect suddenly receives a phone call, even if he doesn't listen to see if it's from an accomplice, he should at least ask a few more questions, right? Is that it?
But when I think about the fact that this is Hakata, it seems normal to do so. No one wants to get themselves into trouble unnecessarily, and I guess that's the reason.
Although he knew this, it did not prevent Rei Furuya from feeling dissatisfied with the attitude of the Hakata police. Unfortunately, Mr. Gavin was very vigilant and they could not get close to eavesdrop on what the other party was saying. Rei Furuya could only pay more attention to that corner.
They didn't know that after Gavin-Binga answered the call, the voice that rang on the other end of the line was that of Chijiang Nayue, who had just left here.
"Lord Kaluya, do you have any instructions?" Due to the fact that he had not yet officially obtained the code name, and the person opposite him was Kaluya, who even Lord Rum was afraid of, Binga asked in a low voice with a polite attitude.
"Hmm..." Kaluuya's voice sounded distorted on the phone, "Your codename mission is related to Huajiu, right?"
Binga was not stupid enough to ask Kaluya how he knew that. He just paused for half a second and answered truthfully: "Yes, Lord Rum wanted me to create some chaos in Bododo and escalate the friction between the organization and the Huajiu Society as much as possible."
Once their friction escalates, the first person to suffer will naturally be Lord Kalua who has just arrived in Hakata.
"Hey, this is too boring." Kaluuya seemed to laugh, "Shall I give you a new task?"
Although it was a question, his words did not leave Binga any chance to refuse.
"The zoo organization that stole the gems is also in Hakata now. Don't you think it would be more interesting to let them fight with Hua Jiuhui?" Kaluuya said slowly, "Let Hua Jiuhui think that you are the enemy that the organization wants to target, and give you a chance to sneak in - starting from the inside, it is easier to create chaos, isn't it? Ah, of course."
"It seems that the councillor is still visiting the Huajiu Club. We can take this opportunity to test his sincerity in cooperating with the organization."
Binga didn't ask what to do after probing into dishonesty... It's not easy to cooperate with an organization and plot against a tiger. The congressman should have been prepared to be silenced a long time ago.
But Binga couldn't help but sigh quietly: "...It's really pitiful for the guy who is the enemy of Lord Kalua."
The person on the other side obviously heard it, because Binga found that Kaluya laughed again, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.
Binga pretended not to hear, cleared his throat, and asked his own question: "However, although my current identity has no connection with the organization on the surface, the people from Huajiuhui only need to investigate the 'sister' I mentioned later and they will know that I am also a member of the organization. If I don't change my disguise and identity, will they really let me sneak in smoothly?"
Kaluuya said cheerfully, "Well, I've already prepared a plan for you."
Binga couldn't help but become curious.
"It should be about time...you can go to the window and take a look." The smile in Kaluuya's voice faded a little, but Binga, who was not paying attention here, didn't notice it. He did what the person on the other end said without any doubt.
At the same time, the explanation on the phone began to ring slowly: "As long as the people of Huajiuhui find out that the zoo that has reached a cooperative relationship with us suddenly attacks you, your identity will naturally become 'an important traitor that the organization is hunting down.'"
Binga had no time to react to the meaning of these words. Cold sweat broke out on his back due to the sudden sense of crisis. Before his instinct could drive him to react, a huge force came from behind and knocked him to the ground.
When he fell to the ground, Binga felt the burning pain on the side of his face. Just now, a sniper bullet outside the window "brushed past" his head, and the mobile phone also fell to the ground and was forced to be scrapped.
The person who knocked him down was none other than Rei Furuya. The latter had been paying attention to this side, so when he noticed that Binga suddenly moved towards the window after hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, the alarm in Rei Furuya's mind immediately rang, and he was able to rescue Binga in time when he saw the reflection of a suspected sniper scope.
Fūya Rei forced himself to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he looked up, he found that his childhood friend had disappeared without a trace.

Morofushi Jingguang found Akae Nayue, who seemed to have just hung up the phone, in the emergency passage of the department store.
"What's wrong?" The other party seemed to know nothing and looked at him in confusion. "Sorry, I was just talking to the store manager. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Doesn't sound like a lie...
Morofu Jingguang breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know why, but when he saw the man answering the phone at such a coincidence, Morobushi Jingguang suddenly guessed that "it might be related to that moon" and even chased him out... After seeing that the person noted on the boy's mobile phone screen was indeed the manager, he finally gave up this inexplicable thought with a smile.
"Ah, come to think of it, there is one more thing I want to tell you." The boy turned his head and said calmly, "I have figured out the murderer."
"The man named Gavin," said Chijiang Nayue, "he is the murderer."
…
The follow-up of the case was handed over to the Hakata police. After the case was solved, the people who came here for a trip had no reason to stay, so they decided to accompany Akae Nazuki to the host club where they were last night to pick up Xiao Kuaidou, and then go out to play together.
Furiya Rei glanced back, his expression slightly worried: Hiro has been absent-minded since leaving the department store, as if he is thinking about something, but he won't say anything when asked... What happened?
He didn't know that until the moment he stepped into the store, Morobushi Jingguang suddenly remembered the details that he had overlooked last night.
Unlike his friends who were in the alley at that time, Zhufu Jingguang was in the store with Kuai Dou last night, so he actually saw it when he came out.
He saw the manager Grace, who looked almost identical to Gavin, hiding in the shadows at the alley entrance, with her head down, listening to Officer Takeda and others discussing the feasibility of "using a copycat to catch the real murderer". He also saw the scene where Officer Takeda inadvertently looked up and saw Grace standing there, and suddenly changed his tone and drove his friends away.
It's just that at that time, Morobushi Jingguang didn't think too deeply about it. Only now did he realize: the police responded so quickly last night probably because they suspected Grace to be the real murderer, but now the real murderer arrested by the police is Grace's "brother". Judging from the expression of Officer Takeda, the other party probably discovered some connection between Grace and Gavin.
"...zero." Zhu Fu Jingguang looked puzzled and his pace gradually slowed down. He lowered his head and called out to Xiao Xunran, who was also lagging behind the team like him, with a hesitant tone, "Do you think Gavin is really the manager's brother?"
There wasn't enough light last night, and coupled with the embarrassing flirting after Sharon's appearance, they didn't dare to look at other people in the box. Moreover, the manager left with Chijiang Nayue at that time, so no one noticed anything wrong with the manager.
However, Kenji Hagiwara later lamented that the manager's height was really outstanding, much taller than the average man, but no one else took it seriously.
But, if they are not brother and sister, if they are really the same person, if -
Doesn't that mean that the mysterious person who lured Gavin to the window over the phone and caused him to be almost shot to death was really Chi Jiang Na Yue?
