Esdeath leaned on the ice floe and slowly floated to the shore, while Yakushiji Ryoko had been waiting for a long time.
"Lost?"
Ryoko Yakushiji asked.
"Well, I lost."
Esdeath nodded.
"You seem calm?"
Yakushiji Ryoko asked again.
"Otherwise? Should I jump or get angry? I will lose just because I am too weak. It has nothing to do with anything else."
Esdeath chuckled.
Yakushiji Ryoko was silent for a while.
Yes, the losses were all Masaaki Nishikawa's, and Esdeath was only slightly injured, but for these martial arts practitioners, injuries are commonplace and do not matter at all, considering that Esdeath was injured at work. , this is considered a work-related injury, and I still have to compensate Esdeath for medical expenses, hey!
"Forget it, you go back and rest first, I will take care of the rest."
Yakushiji Ryoko said to Esdeath.
She actually had something to ask Esdeath. She ambushed Esdeath aside and planned to use it as a surprise force. However, after the Central Plains Phantom Thief succeeded, Esdeath didn't react at all and did not interact with the four others. The great masters besieged the Central Plains Phantom Thieves together, as if they were just watching a show.
If it were anyone else, Ryoko Yakushidera would interpret this as indolence, but for Esdeath there was no such possibility, because Esdeath has always been very "dedicated".
When she goes to encircle and suppress those underground organizations, there are a hundred members of the organization, and she will never kill only ninety-nine. Even if they have to be left alive to interrogate information, they will definitely be left with their last breath after being interrogated by her. Not only is he dedicated, but he is also professional.
It can be said that it is very strange for Esdeath that she did not attack the Central Plains Phantom Thief immediately after he appeared, but waited until the diamond accidentally fell into Esdeath's hands before she passively fought against him.
Moreover, the strength that Esdeath showed just now was so different from the past. All this made Ryoko Yakushiji full of doubts. But now Esdeath obviously didn't want to say more, and she couldn't force it, so she could only suppress it in her heart. I was curious, thinking that I would slowly get some words from Esdeath in the future.
After regaining his strength, Esdeath stood up from the ice floe, jumped to the shore and said, "Let me tell you in advance, I am seriously injured and it will take a lot of time to recover. Don't come to me during this time. "
"The injury is serious?"
Ryoko Yakushidera asked, looking at Esdeath who was intact and even her clothes were not damaged.
You call this a serious injury?
"A few ribs are broken. Even I need to rest for a while to recover."
Esdeath replied.
"Okay, I understand. Do you want to go back by yourself or do you want me to take you back when my affairs are over?"
Yakushiji Ryoko asked Esdeath.
For her top "go-getter", Yakushiji Ryoko was unwilling to be harsh even if the mission failed, and even expressed concern for the injured Esdeath.
After all, unlike others, Esdeath is only nominally under the command of Ryoko Yakushiji. In fact, the relationship between the two is that of collaborators rather than superiors and subordinates. Esdeath is willing to follow Ryoko Yakushiji's orders only because She just likes to do those jobs. After all, there may never be another boss in Tokyo who allows Esdeath to exercise "unlimited defense rights" at will during work.
"No, I will go back with my owner."
Esdeath smiled with unknown meaning.
"Your owner? Is he here too?"
Yakushiji Ryoko frowned.
…………………………
The "treasure of the town hall" was stolen, but the guests who had watched a good show were planning to go home. As for the chicken feathers in the "Water Moon Palace", Nishikawa Masaaki had to clean it up himself, haha.
"Sorry to bother everyone for a while!"
And just when many guests were saying goodbye and leaving for various reasons, a loud voice sounded.
Everyone followed the voice and saw that the person who made the voice had a very energetic moustache. He was the Intelligent Criminal Investigation Department of the Criminal Investigation Section 2 of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the nemesis of "Kid" (self-proclaimed) Ginzo Nakamori!
"I, Nakamori Ginzo, am a member of the Intelligent Criminal Investigation Department of the Criminal Investigation Section 2 of the Metropolitan Police Department. I am responsible for the arrest of 'Kid'. Now, I suspect that 'Kid' is among the guests. Please allow me to interrupt." Dear guests, please take a moment and let me confirm whether 'Kid' is really among you!"
Nakamori Ginzo said loudly.
During the time just now, he summoned all the staff of "Suigetsu Palace" on the second floor. On the other hand, he asked his trusted subordinates to search the entire "Suigetsu Palace" starting from the first floor. As a result, not only Nakamori Ginzo's subordinates did not No suspicious person was found in the "Water Moon Palace". Even Nakamori Ginzo failed to find anyone suspected of being "Kid" among the staff. This made Nakamori Ginzo have to wonder whether "Kid" was taking advantage of the chaos. He blended in with the guests on the third floor.
There was actually a certain amount of psychological pressure for him to shout at these high-status guests. After all, most of the guests at the scene could crush him to death without any effort from a small police force like him. With just one phone call, he could only go to Hokkaido for the rest of his life. Snow.
But he had to stand up again. This might be the closest he got to "Kidd". "Shuiyue Palace" was an isolated island in the lake. He believed that "Kidd" could not escape from "Shuiyue Palace". "De" can only disguise himself as guests and staff and mix in the crowd. Now that the staff has confirmed that there is no problem, "Kid" can only mix in the guests, so he can't let these guests leave no matter what, even if it means risking himself entire career.
Hearing that Nakamori Ginzo, a small police force, dared to stop him, all the guests present looked surprised.
This is not the first time for many of them to meet Nakamori Ginzo. Every time "Kid" takes action, he is always on the front line and often appears in newspapers. Although most of them are in the image of a buffoon, he is relatively familiar. ...background board!
As for Nakamori Ginzo's method of identifying "Kid", all the guests present had heard about it, and it was just a shame.
Let’s not talk about whether it hurts or not. There are so many people here, and they are all high-class people with a good status. Do you still want to lose face after being ripped off in public?
"Zhongsen Police Department, please give way. We are tired, so let us go back and rest."
One of the guests stood up and said.
This was considered polite, but it was mainly to give Yukiko Muromachi face. With Yukiko Muromachi here, these guests would not be able to beat the police dog in front of her.
"Please wait a moment."
Muromachi Yukiko stood up. She pushed up her glasses and said: "The battle just now affected the speedboat docked on the shore. Now the speedboat is all damaged. It will take some time to send people to repair it. It is better to take advantage of this time to conduct an investigation. If 'Kid' really got mixed up in the crowd, he would be a threat to everyone, wouldn't he?"
What Muromachi Yukiko said makes sense. Well, the main reason is that she is the youngest daughter of the Muromachi family and is scheduled to receive the political legacy of the Muromachi family. Not to mention becoming the director of the Metropolitan Police Department in the future, even joining the cabinet is not impossible. , so Muromachi Yukiko said, as long as it was not something too outrageous, the guests decided to cooperate after weighing it.
"Guests who are accompanied by companions please check each other and shout for help if you find anything unusual."
Muromachi Yukiko continued.
As soon as these words came out, the resistance of the guests suddenly dropped to a minimum.
If you ask a stranger to pinch your face, it will definitely make people resist, but the people who come together for the invitation must have a close relationship with each other. If you pinch your face between close companions, or even between lovers, this is just intimacy. The interaction is no longer offensive.
Nakamori Ginzo soon figured it out, and he said to Yukiko Muromachi very excitedly: "You are still the best at Muromachi Police!"
Muromachi Yukiko smiled slightly: "This is nothing. Zhongmori Police Department, please pay attention. If 'Kid' really mixes among the guests and is exposed, he gets violent and hurts people. This is the dereliction of duty of us police officers. .”
Ginzo Nakamori meant to say that "Kid" would never hurt anyone, but after thinking about it, he was a policeman, so he couldn't speak for the Phantom Thief in front of his colleagues who were higher than him, so he could only nod hard and said: "Yes. , Muromachi Police!"
Then he started to ask his men to prepare tools, and once they found "Kid", they would immediately rush to arrest him.
The special assault force was also very energetic. If "Kidd" was really at the scene, they must let "Kidd" know what elites are!
When the Central Plains Phantom Thief was entangled with the four masters, the people from the Special Assault Force wanted to help. As soon as they took out their guns, the Central Plains Phantom Thief threw out a folding fan. The folding fan flew around and knocked all the guns out of their hands. It was so big that their arms were numb and they didn't recover until now.
The Special Assault Force is known as an elite force, but when faced with a martial arts master, it was humiliated and sent to grandma's house. This made the members of the Special Assault Force eager to express themselves and take off their "waste" hat.
"Kidd", you'd better not be among the guests, otherwise you'll become a hornet's nest!
The members of the special assault force, who were armed with live ammunition, laughed ferociously in their hearts.
Of course, the guns held by the members of the Special Assault Force are actually loaded with BB bullets, which cannot kill anyone, but they will definitely feel good if they are shot on the body.
Under the care of Nakamori Ginzo and his men, the guests began to pinch each other's cheeks with their companions.
On the one hand, they cooperated like this because of Muromachi Yukiko's face. On the other hand, after being reminded by Muromachi Yukiko, they were a little worried about whether their partner had really changed.
Many of the invited guests were male guests with their female partners, and most of them planned to go back to work with their female partners after the opening ceremony.
What if, just what if, after a male guest and a female partner go back, they are chatting with each other, and the atmosphere is just right, the male guest looks exactly like the female partner, and the guy is actually bigger than him?
Are you so scared that you won’t be able to get up in the next life, or are you just passively opening the door to a new world? This is a worthy question...oh, no, it is a question that is simply unimaginable!
And it’s also a huge loss for female guests. If many real owners are found after the event, isn’t this equivalent to being prostituted for nothing? Maybe he will be disliked by the funder because of this, isn't this a loss of blood!
If you think about it carefully, it is better to find out the true identity of the people around you. Anyway, bad things may happen in various senses.
Mao Lilan was brought by Suzuki Sonoko. Logically speaking, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan should fight each other, but before Mao Lilan was about to take action, Suzuki Sonoko pushed Mao Lilan to Kudo Shinichi.
"Xiaolan, your hands are so strong, I don't dare to let you pinch my face. Let's leave this hard job to Kudo, a reasoning geek!"
Suzuki Sonoko teased and smiled.
"Garden!"
Mao Lilan's pretty face was blushing. Of course she knew that Suzuki Sonoko was helping her relationship with Kudo Shinichi, but she still couldn't help being shy.
Cheating each other with Shinichi...it's annoying, it seems like this has never happened before!
Mao Lilan was shy and happy at the same time.
Kudo Shinichi, who was forcibly paired with Maori Lanla, said indifferently: "Whatever, just end it quickly. I also suspect that 'Kid' is still in the 'Water Moon Palace', but he must be hiding in a Where no one would have thought of it, that police officer might be perfect. Hey, we still have to rely on our detectives to deal with the Phantom Thieves!"
After speaking, he stretched out half of his face to Mao Lilan.
"Hurry up, I still have to look for clues after it's over."
Kudo Shinichi, who didn't care about anything as soon as he entered the investigation mode, pointed at his cheek and said.
"OK!"
Mao Lilan smiled, but there seemed to be dark clouds behind her smiling face, and Suzuki Sonoko took a few steps back in fright.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
After more than ten seconds, the entire "Water Moon Palace" echoed with the screams of killing pigs.
"Then, Kaijun, I'm going to start pinching!"
On the other side, Busujima Saeko smiled and said to "Yan Kai". "Yan Kai" participated in the opening ceremony of "Suigetsu Palace" as her companion, so Busujima Saeko was naturally responsible for the inspection.
"Yan Kai" smiled nonchalantly and nodded lightly.
Busujima Saeko was stunned for a moment. She originally wanted to see "Yan Kai" in embarrassment, but she failed.
He stretched out his hand to caress "Yan Kai's" cheek. It was as smooth as a shelled egg, which made Busujima Saeko feel like he couldn't put it down.
Eve-chan's face is so smooth. Is it because she is young? But Ling’s skin isn’t that smooth either!
Because Yan Kai's face was so smooth, Busujima Saeko was reluctant to pinch it.
At this time, Kasumigaoka Shiyu came over and said in a tone like a teacher instructing a student: "You can't do this, Saeko. Just touching is useless. Come on, I'll teach you how to pinch!"
After saying that, he pulled away Busujima Saeko's hand, stretched out his own hand and pinched "Yan Kai" on the face, and then rotated 180 degrees.
"Yan Kai" didn't complain, but looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu with a rather helpless look: "Senior, aren't you childish?"
"Childish? Where am I childish? I just don't know how to pinch you because I am afraid that you will be suspected by the police. I am helping you prove your innocence. Don't thank me!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu had a hard time holding back her laughter.
"That's right, you look suspicious at first sight and can easily be suspected by the police, so let me help you too!"
Nakiri Erina swallowed her saliva, walked up to "Yan Kai", reached out and pinched the other half of his face, also at a 180-degree angle.
"Yan Kai" finally frowned, not because of pain, but because he felt that he had been provoked.
"Thank you, Senior Sister and Miss Erina, for your kindness, and please don't dislike my kindness."
Then, while Kasumigaoka Shiu and Nakiri Erina were in a daze, he pinched their faces hard with each hand.
"Ahhhhh!"
Following the screams like killing pigs, there were two more high-pitched screams that echoed continuously in the "Water Moon Palace".
