Is this Vermouth?
[Yueyue, when did you meet the victim? How come I didn't know?] Yayu Lin sat aside with the victim, using a noble touch-screen phone to contact Shiyu Yueling.
Because they made sufficient preparations before the time travel, their equipment was very advanced, and they used high technology in this era when even cell phones were very rare.
The signal was very weak at the beginning, and Shi Yu Yueling, who was a magician, had to work hard to restore the phone to normal.
The phone on the table rang. Shi Yuyueling turned around, picked it up, and replied: [I told you, Xiaojiu, don’t you remember?]
[That's the big deal I mentioned, but in the end, I told you it fell through.]
Ya Yulin suddenly realized: [Oh, I remember, it was their family, Yueyue, the only two divinations you failed in! ]
There's no need to bring this up. Shi Yu Yue Ling's eyes narrowed: "I now suspect that what they're looking for is related to the organization. Aside from the winery incident, my divination has never failed!"
"Hiss, can't it be?" Ya Yulin was stunned, but when he thought about it carefully, this matter was unexpected but reasonable.
Looking at the victim beside him, Ya Yulin, who hated thinking, was dissatisfied: [The restriction of the gold finger on the main line personnel is really difficult to deal with. I don’t care about Yueyue. I will do whatever you ask me to do.]
[Actually, I'm more worried about something else.] As Shigure Yueling typed, she glanced at Fūya Rei beside her. His eyes seemed completely focused on his phone, chatting with someone.
Do you remember Morobushi Kagemitsu's death in the line of duty? Until our arrival, the plot hadn't revealed why his undercover cover was exposed, though everyone suspected it had something to do with Rum.
The person peeking at the screen in the group chat chimed in, "I'm the most stubborn of all the ducks in the pond": "I know. Rum's eyes are like cameras. Everything he sees is clearly recorded in his mind. I suspect he has hyperthymesia."
Bingbing is right. If this is really related to the organization, Zhufu Jingguang, who just ran upstairs alone, might have been seen by them. Shi Yuyueling frowned slightly, feeling a little depressed.
If this was their guess, not only would they have missed a crucial plot point that could have deflected the plot, but they would also have to follow up on this matter later, figuring out who was carrying out the mission, Rum or Gin? They would even have to figure out how to handle the matter.
It was so troublesome. She still had to worry about survival. People with only one brain could not afford to be hurt! Shi Yuyueling felt hopeless in life. She leaned her head against the backrest behind her and stared at the ceiling with dull eyes.
Jiang Gu Ling observed for a long time, and when Shi Yu Yue Ling finished, he looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Who are you talking to?"
His eyes fell on the phone in her hand, and he wondered what that brick was. Although he was not sure what it was, he was sure that she was contacting someone.
Was it a text message? A special communication device? The thought flashed through Rei Furuya's mind.
Huh? Shi Yu Yue Ling, lying on the ground, tilted her head, her dull eyes meeting those of Fūya Ling. She said weakly, "Follow Jiujiu."
Fūya Ling looked at Yayu Lin over there, and then looked at Shigure Yueling over here, and a question mark popped up in his head. You just walked into the same room, why do you have to use this method?
Or was it that the topic they were discussing couldn't be overheard by others? Meeting the approaching Morobushi Kagemitsu, Furuya Rei turned around and was about to ask further questions when he was interrupted by a noise coming from the door.
The bell hanging on the door of the cafe rang crisply, and the door was pushed open from the outside. A middle-aged man with a cane and an oppressive look came in.
"Ahem." He coughed, then looked at the police and said, as if giving an order, "That's it. There's no need to investigate this matter any further. You can go back."
After saying that, he looked around the room and finally landed on the victim next to Yayu Lin, and called out, "Akina."
Akina Kasuga, who was sitting there, had calmed down a lot. She looked up when she heard the voice and immediately stood up after confirming who it was. Her eyes seemed to be red and she cried out in grievance, "Dad."
The victim's father? Megure Jusan immediately tilted his head and whispered to his boss the identity of the man who came. "Kasuga Shoichiro, the current head of the Kasuga family, a famous entrepreneur with impressive connections in both business and politics, is the victim's father. He usually keeps a low profile, but he showed up at the scene today..."
It's a bit abnormal.
Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei, who were standing nearby, heard the information reported by Megure Jusan and looked at each other secretly.
After listening to his subordinates' report, Matsumoto Kiyonaga walked over to Kasuga Shoichiro and said, "Mr. Kasuga..."
Before he could finish his words, Kasuga Shoichiro interrupted him, saying there was no room for maneuver in this matter: "If you have any questions, have your boss come to me."
After saying that, he walked towards Shi Yu Yue Ling in the corner with his crutches and stood slightly behind her, which was usually the waiter's position.
Kasuga Shoichiro greeted calmly, "Ms. Shigure."
Furukaya Rei, who was watching the scene, felt a little confused. In social etiquette, the position where Kasuga Shoichiro stood indicated that his status was lower than the former, that is, lower than Shigure Yueling.
Is this correct?
Shi Yu Yue Ling, who tried her best to hide her presence but was still discovered, sighed, sat still and turned her head and said sadly: "Mr. Haruhi, no matter what you say, my answer is the same as before."
As she spoke, she stood sideways and stood opposite Kasuga Shoichiro, putting their respective positions on an equal footing and said, "I really can't help you with that matter."
"You also know the reason for the incident. Stop looking for her, or else your daughter might not be the only one who gets into trouble in the future."
The statement is the simplest warning from the fortune teller, but it means something else to other people.
Threatening someone in front of the police? Megure Jusan was about to walk over, but Matsumoto Seinaga raised his hand to stop him. Staring at Shigure Tsukurei across from Kasuga Shoichiro, Matsumoto Seinaga felt the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the room.
"It's too late, Miss Shigure. My second son had an accident long before Akina." Kasuga Shoichiro said tiredly, closing his eyes.
Kasuga Shota, the second son of the Kasuga family, had no talent for business but studied music and ended up being obsessed with studying games.
He has been acting strangely recently, and Kasuga Shoichiro is certain that the second son in the family has been replaced by someone else. That person has not tried to hide it at all and has no qualms about inquiring about the whereabouts of everyone in the Kasuga family.
As a wealthy businessman, Kasuga Shoichiro has his own intelligence channels. He knows something but keeps silent and maintains superficial peace at home in the hope that nothing will happen to the remaining children.
Things didn't develop as he expected after all. Akina Kasuga's fall from the building today sounded the alarm for him.
"Shota's in trouble." Kasuga Shoichiro took a deep breath and bowed to Shigure. His always straight back bent like a broken flag. "Please, Miss Shigure, please help save the lives of these surviving children."
"You're asking me for help when the police are here? You're putting me on the spot!" Shi Yu was shocked, and his eyelids twitched.
"I really can't help you." Shi Yuyueling said earnestly, her mind working rapidly. She thought and said, "I suggest you contact the police. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
A wisp of wind brushed across her cheek. Shi Yu Yue Ling turned her head slightly to look towards the entrance of the coffee shop. A card appeared between her fingers, and the aura of magic enveloped the entire room.
Following Shi Yu Yue Ling's gaze, I saw a person approaching quickly outside the door. Ding-dong, the bell on the door of the cafe made a crisp sound.
Pushing the door open and standing at the entrance, the man's eyes seemed to flash with a strange light, and his gaze swept over everyone in the room, as if he was observing each one carefully.
Fūya Ling was stunned for a moment. He was also observing the other person. Their eyes met for a moment, but the other person ignored him and did not respond at all.
Fōya Ling immediately turned her head to look at Shi Yu Yue Ling. She had a card between her fingers hanging by her side. Perhaps she noticed Fōya Ling was looking at her, but she hid her hand holding the card behind her back.
"Second brother." Seeing who was coming, Akina Kasuga shouted before everyone else, as if to remind everyone who was coming.
Kasuga Akina's words immediately attracted the attention of the person at the door. He walked in, closed the door, and asked with concern: "Akina, I heard from my brother that something happened to you. What happened?"
Kasuga Shoichiro tapped the ground twice with his cane to attract attention, then exchanged glances with Kasuga Shota, who was looking over at him, and said, "The boss doesn't know anything about this. He's in a meeting."
Kasuga Shota's gaze when looking at Kasuga Shoichiro suddenly became a little strange, as if Kasuga Shoichiro, who had been unexpectedly passive towards them, had such a tough attitude this time.
At that moment, Zhu Fu Jingguang clearly saw a flash of danger in his eyes.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Of course my eldest brother knows about this." Kasuga Shota smiled at Kasuga Shoichiro, but the words he said were strange, as if he was correcting his father who was the head of the family.
Because he had been at the crime scene before, Morifushi Kagemitsu knew very well that the police had only called Kasuga Shoichirō, so he said, "The police only called..."
"Speaking of which," Shi Yu Yue Ling raised her voice at the same time, as if deliberately interrupting Zhu Fu Jing Guang. Noticing this, Jiang Gu Ling Geng, who was looking at Shi Yu Yue Ling, was silent, but shook his head at Zhu Fu Jing Guang, indicating him not to speak for the time being.
Attracting everyone's attention, Shi Yuyueling smiled and walked towards the door, and pointedly explained the art of disguise, saying, "Kaito Kidd can disguise himself as anyone, and has escaped the police many times with this."
The person under Kasuga Shota's skin locked his eyes on Shigure Tsuki Ling, while at the same time keeping an eye on Yaba Rin standing beside him.
"So impersonation isn't impossible." Shigure Yueling stopped, leaned against the table in the cafe, turned his head and looked at Kasuga Shouta with inquiring eyes: "I'm a little curious whether what Mr. Shoichiro said is true or not."
So - Shi Yuyueling changed the subject: "Xiaojiu, do it."
The moment she finished speaking, Yayu Rin had already approached Kasuga Shota at the door. Her speed was so fast that her long hair left a trail of afterimage. Her right hand formed a claw and grabbed Kasuga Shota's face. Kasuga Shota's pupils shrank and he leaned back to avoid it.
Based on the small detail that the hand was dodged, Yaba Lin was sure that the person could not be Kasuga Shota himself, so she kicked the person in the abdomen and kicked him out, hitting the wall of the cafe.
No one realized Ya Yulin's sudden action. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Matsumoto Kiyonaga immediately spoke up to stop him: "Please stop!"
I won't listen to him. Yaba Rin grabbed Kasuga Shota's face again. Kasuga Shota, who was covering his stomach, had a vicious look in his eyes. He rolled sideways to avoid Yaba Rin's hand. When he stood up again, he had a gun in his hand pointed at Yaba Rin.
The result has been tested, there is no need to stay here any longer, bang, he pulled the trigger and a bullet flew out, Ya Yulin reacted very quickly and dodged sideways, bang, bang, bang, several more bullets flew out, brushed past Ya Yulin's body and hit the ground with a clanging sound.
Ding-dong, the door of the cafe opened and closed again. While no one was reacting, 'Kasuga Shota' ran out, stopped a car, forced the driver out with a gun, and ran away.
Yaba Lin wanted to chase after him immediately, and so did Megure Jusan and the police.
"Okay." Shi Yu Yueling's voice rang out, causing them to stop and look back at her.
"The more important thing now is to find the real Kasuga Shouta. He's impossible to catch anyway, so let him run."
With such a fast reaction speed and emergency response ability, as well as the feeling at the moment of kicking the person away, Yayu Lin guessed that the person on the other side might be Vermouth.
If it was really her, it would be impossible for her to be caught. Ya Yulin turned around and walked to Shi Yuyueling and sat down.
"Ms. Shigure, I hope you can explain this matter." Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Shigure Yueling.
Shi Yu Yueling looked at him with innocent eyes, as if she didn't understand what he was saying.
