Chapter 176
The reason why he chose Aoyagi Chiso as Kiyoko's backup identity was that she had no sense of presence on weekdays, and the second reason was that her thick bangs covered most of her face.
Now she was selected by Belmode again, probably for the same reason.
Really, is the world so malicious to introverts?
Qingzi is currently in a campus-themed room of a love hotel, sitting on the desk holding a plaster head and drawing. When she heard Yingsheng's words, she didn't immediately understand the meaning, but she quickly and briefly answered:
"We have to keep a distance in the class. I told her that my relationship with other girls is also very normal. If we get together, it is likely to double the rejection. As for keeping a diary, I specifically asked her, and her answer was No, but I haven’t been to her house so I can’t be completely sure.”
After saying these two sentences, Qingzi's thoughts became clearer. She glanced at the plaster statue in her hand, and Liu Yeqing's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"Aoyagi-san has been replaced by Belmode?"
"It's most likely like this. Keep adding details. I need to know if she is fishing now and if you are exposed to any risks, and then I can determine the next action."
Yingsheng believes that Bellmode's behavior of calling Kenta Nakamichi is suspicious.
Even if she has misunderstandings about her current identity and the relationship between Kenta Nakamichi and wants to clear it up as soon as possible, she can only express the following parts of "you are a good person". Why should she add the part about Kiyoko Cedar?
Did she do this because she wanted to use Kenta Nakamichi's mouth to spread the news to someone?
In the class, it can be said that Yingsheng only has Kenta Nakamichi as a friend.
Furthermore, Chiso Aoyagi is a friend of Seiko Kiyoko, and Belmod may have contacted her as the latter. He does not rule out the possibility of accidentally finding out some information, and knows that there is another Seiko Kiyoko in the world.
If Belmode had caught some information inside the winery, it would be inevitable that he would not be suspicious of Yingsheng.
In this way, the news that Aoyagi Chiso has been replaced may be a fishing case for law enforcement.
Of course Yingsheng had to figure it out.
Qingzi quickly gave an overview of her experience with Aoyagi Qiansu. Yingsheng thought about it carefully in his mind, but couldn't find much useful information. In the end, he could only stay put for the time being and wait for personal contact on Monday. Confirm again later.
"Sorry, Qingzi, accidents happen frequently. Try to master the art of disguise as soon as possible. That way everything will be much easier." Yingsheng said.
"Where's the voice changer?" Qingzi asked.
"I have already found someone to visit Dr. Ali, but he was very cautious about a prop like a voice changer that could be used for criminal purposes and politely refused. He is not a person who can be moved by money. In this regard, You still have to find another way.”
"Well."
"It will certainly be difficult to reach Belmode's level in a short period of time, but it should be possible to change the original pronunciation. Kiyoko, let's find a target you like to imitate first. I will also hire professionals to teach you later."
Qingzi sighed softly: "It seems like this is the only way. It's so troublesome. Firefly, you should know that I am actually a very lazy person."
Yingsheng chuckled: "I always thought you were very diligent. I'm sorry, I will work harder."
"I should be sorry. I wish you success."
"With your good words, goodbye."
Hanging up here, Yingsheng called Huaying Xixi's phone again and talked about the future arrangements. Twenty minutes later, he and Xiaolan came to the Bloody Rose Bar.
Xiaolan had never been in a bar before. When Yingsheng opened the thick door with a retro British style, the hot and humid air hit her face. Before she could see the scene clearly, she felt her heart pounding, and she had a thought. The urge to escape.
But following the strength of her hands, she took steps after all.
The light inside the bar was much darker than outside, but unlike what she had imagined before, it was not a colorful rotating light. On the contrary, it was quite soft, and it fell on the dark-toned floor, creating a mysterious and warm touch inexplicably.
There is a faint smell of wine and tobacco in the air. It is not pleasant, but it will not cause discomfort. Perhaps it is mixed with the smell of youth and hormones, which can be seen everywhere in the booths and the bar. The skin of men and women was actually dyed with an ambiguous color by the light.
As she walked through the crowd towards the bar, Xiaolan felt that there were eyes all around her looking at her, a stranger who was incompatible with this place.
But she carefully observed her surroundings for a while with anxiety, and found that some people were indeed looking at her, but their gazes were no different from those of other people.
And most of them looked away with a sigh or a smile after noticing Yingsheng in front of her.
Xiaolan vaguely understood the truth. As long as she entered here, she would be of the same type as them.
However, when Yingsheng leaned on the bar and ordered a glass of [Prosperous Dream] with ease, Xiaolan still raised her hand to stop the bartender and looked at Yingsheng sideways.
"Ah this..."
Yingsheng scratched his head: "This is a bar."
Xiaolan snorted softly: "What's the difference?"
"…………"
Yingsheng slumped down and turned around: "A glass of ice water." Then he pointed at Xiaolan, "Give her a glass of milk, she is still underage."
Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him: "I just want water too."
The bartender agreed, left for a moment, brought back two flat glasses filled with transparent liquid, placed them on the bar, pushed them towards Yingsheng with his left hand, and asked with a smile:
"Has Mr. Liuying found true love?"
"I think so."
Yingsheng smiled and raised his hand to get the wine glass, but Xiaolan snatched the target away first.
Yingsheng and the bartender were both slightly stunned. They looked at each other in astonishment and saw Xiaolan taking a sip very carefully, slowly putting down the glass, and sneered at the two of them.
"What is the temperature of this glass of ice water?"
"Of course the ice water is zero degrees." Yingsheng looked serious and tilted his head, "Jessica, did you pour me warm water?"
The bartender looked innocent: "Sorry, sir, I may have used the wrong bottle."
She changed two glasses, and this time she poured water from the same bottle on the bar, took ice, pushed both glasses in front of Xiaolan, and winked.
"Miss Detective, do you want to try them all?"
Xiaolan shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "The main reason is that Miss Jessica, you were exposed too early."
The bartender lady looked at Yingsheng apologetically: "It seems I should pretend that I don't know you."
"But don't say you miss me very much, someone will be unhappy."
Yingsheng picked up the wine glass and looked at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan clinked glasses with him: "I don't believe what you said either. You are deliberately provoking me."
He took it back and drank it all in one gulp. It was indeed just ice water.
"Maybe."
Yingsheng looked at Jessica: "Has a handsome guy with blond hair and dark skin been here before?"
"Not really." She shook her head.
"What about the other suspicious people? They are not here to drink and strike up conversations. They look more like they are here to visit or socialize with others." Yingsheng asked again.
Jessica thought for a while: "Aren't these people everywhere? Does Mr. Liuying have a specific goal?"
"Of course not, just ask."
Yingsheng turned his face sideways and looked in the direction of the door. The door was closed, and the wooden fences on both sides serving as partitions were covered with flowers and thorns. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, which was eight fifty-five.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Tohru Amuro arrived on time as promised, but he still didn't show up.
Yingsheng turned around and said, "One cup of [Sanshu Ye Zang]."
He looked at Xiaolan again and said eagerly: "I'm just taking a look, not drinking."
Xiaolan sighed: "It's not like this, just like I'm confused."
"No, no, no, the base liquor of this drink is absinthe. I don't like the taste. It's really just a glance." Yingsheng shook his head and waited for Jessica to mix the drink and bring it to the bar. , and sure enough, he just glanced at it and continued to drink water.
Xiaolan looked at the cup of [Sanshu Ye Zang] curiously. The goblet was crystal clear, and the green wine trembled gently in the wisps of bubbles, like the breath of the forest blending into the quiet lake and being held by the crystal. To the human world.
About ten minutes later, Yingsheng made a phone call and asked, "Won't Chris come today?"
Huaying Hope chuckled: "Brother, she has already arrived."
"Really, that's really a pity."
Yingsheng sighed, hung up the phone, and dialed another number, but no one answered.
He put his mobile phone on the bar and started chatting with Xiaolan, discussing today's karate competition. Yingsheng didn't see the competition in the morning, but he watched it very seriously in the afternoon. Xiaolan expressed doubts about this, but in the end I have to admit that Yingsheng is probably a person who can multi-task.
"What does that martial arts software mean?"
After casual chatting, Xiaolan asked curiously.
"Please ask Mr. Amuro to find someone to make a small toy. In fact, even I don't have much expectations for the result." At this point, Yingsheng took the phone again, "Why hasn't Mr. Amuro come yet? Let's call again and ask. "
He dialed the number, turned on the speakerphone, put it aside and let the bell ring, and sighed softly:
"Xiaolan, you know, I also planned to introduce Mr. Amuro to a woman, but it seems that both parties broke the appointment. I really hope that they have met in private, so that it will not be a waste of my hard work."
Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him: "You have great potential as a Yue Lao. I say, just do it if you want to do it. If you can't let go because of me, then I will worry that you won't do it next time." Take me to a place like this.”
"Tsk, do you think I'm that kind of eager little boy, or do you think of the bar as some kind of monster cave?" Yingsheng curled his lips, "If you don't believe me, ask Jessica, this is my normal behavior today."
Xiaolan turned around and looked.
Jessica was wiping the wine glass with her head lowered, and said without raising her head: "Most of the people who come here are boring people, seeking the reality of all existence. Of course, the kind of passion and fanaticism that Miss Lan thought about also exists, but there are very few here. There are more in Kabukicho.”
The ringtone on Yingsheng's cell phone has stopped and switched to a voice announcement, saying that the owner is busy and no one is answering.
Xiaolan took a look and said thoughtfully: "In other words, this is a lower-level bar, right?"
"You can also say that this is a clean bar."
Jessica smiled and raised her hand, pointing to an oil painting on the wall. Xiaolan followed the guide and saw that the painting was a scene of a medieval knight fighting the devil.
On the dry brown river bed, the devil's claws pierced the knight's chest, and the knight's sharp sword cut off the devil's arm. Their faces were blurred and in chaos, and the large tracts of blood almost mixed their images into one. Regardless of each other.
Xiaolan felt an inexplicable chill on the back of her neck.
Jessica smiled and said: "You said that if the boss wasn't worried about the business being too good, why would he hang such a painting?"
"What's its name?" Xiaolan asked.
Jessica thought for a moment: "It's called "Blasphemy". I don't know what it means. It is said that it is one of a series of works. The others are in the art gallery a few steps next to us. I guess we The boss must have cooperation there.”
Dangdang——
She tapped the medieval armor beside her with a mixing spoon and shrugged, "I got this from there too. I actually think this style is quite strange, but it seems to be quite popular, and business here has always been good. "
Yingsheng smiled: "This is the style, Jessica, aren't you British? You should be more familiar with these things."
"I don't like history. Even King Arthur met in Fate." Jessica looked at the extinguished mobile phone on the bar, "Will the people you are waiting for still come?"
"Who knows...Hey, this way."
While speaking, Yingsheng suddenly raised his hand in the direction of the door to say hello. Several people looked over subconsciously, where a tall and thin figure had just pushed the door open and walked in. He stood at the door and looked around with eyes that no one could see clearly under his cap.
After hearing Yingsheng's greeting, he looked up, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked through a series of booths and soft music to the bar.
He looked Yingsheng up and down and looked at the cup of Sanshu Yezang on the bar.
"Please use."
Yingsheng said.
Chapter 262: Firefly gives birth to Xiaolan and Xiaoai, night at Maori’s house
The visitor picked up Sanshu Ye Zang, drank the green wine in one gulp, and bowed slightly to Yingsheng.
"Sorry, Mr. Liuying..."
Yingsheng raised his hand and interrupted him: "You don't need to go there in person. Thank you for your hard work. Go back and say hello to her for me."
The visitor hesitated: "But..."
Yingsheng shook his head slightly and leaned into his ear: "You don't want to hand over those contraband items to me here, you are a bit too arrogant. Find a safe deposit box in a shopping mall outside, and put the things in the safe. Deal me the cards, okay?”
The winery’s method is simple and effective.
The visitor nodded hurriedly and whispered: "The president has encountered trouble recently. There is a new 'Hidden Moon Group' that is expanding rapidly. They have stronger official connections than us and have stronger firepower. We propose to find You help, but the president always disagrees.”
Yingsheng glanced at him: "Then what do you mean now, do you want to defeat the superior?"
The visitor quickly shook his head: "Of course not, it's just...just..."
Under Yingsheng's increasingly cold gaze, he struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and whispered: "President, she is a woman after all, and since Mr. Liuying passed by last week, her handling style has become... It has become more moderate, and now it has affected earnings.
Several elders in the meeting believed that you are more suitable to lead us. They mentioned this matter to the president in a vague way, and the president did not express any objection, so..."
"We will talk about this kind of thing later. I will contact Chiyoko later. Now, can you please show some obscene smile? Of course, don't go too far."
Yingsheng interrupted.
