"I feel... Sister Keiko has become more and more mentally unstable recently."
Hospital, another winter is coming, and the temperature in Tokyo is dropping rapidly. Xiaoqing and Xiaokarasuma suddenly said this while sitting on a bench in the courtyard.
"Yeah, I know." Xiao Qing, wearing a thick black coat, nodded.
His expression was calm, making it impossible to see clearly what he was really thinking.
"You..."
Kokarasuma put his hands on his sides, leaned back, and looked up at the gloomy sky.
"It's now time. Don't stay in the Metropolitan Police Department all day. If you have time, you should spend more time with Sister Keiko."
"I see."
"Speaking of which, last time Sister Keiko wanted to see you, why did you come so late in the end?" Xiao Karasuma suddenly turned to look at him.
"Something happened on the way and it was a little delayed."
Knowing clearly which time she meant by "last time", the boy came up with the excuse he had already prepared.
【I regret……】
In my mind, the words Keiko said in the ward came to mind again.
"Really……"
Karasumaru didn't think too much about it. She nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She stood up forcefully, clapped her hands and said:
"Okay, let's not waste your time. Sister Keiko is probably going to wake up by now. If you want to see her, go quickly."
"Ah! Baihe Police Department!"
At this moment, a criminal policeman suddenly ran out of the courtyard.
The detective ran straight to the boy in one breath, put his hands on his knees, and gasped:
"Yes, it's a call from the Metropolitan Police Department. There is a case in the city. I need you from the Baihe Police Department to handle it..."
"I'm really busy..." Xiao Karasuma complained softly on the side, as if he didn't notice anything unusual.
"case?"
The boy looked up at the detective, then nodded, stood up from the bench, and replied:
"Okay, lead the way."
"Ah, okay, please follow me... Wow!"
The moment the detective turned around, the boy took action at the speed of light, holding "him" on the shoulder with one hand, and at the same time lightly hooked "him" under his feet, using the force to directly push "him" behind his back with one hand, and pinned him tightly. on the ground.
"It hurts! Baihe Police Department! What are you doing?!"
The detective shouted loudly as the boy pressed his knee against his back, unable to move.
The boy ignored it at all, but the expression on his face became colder.
"Who are you? Who let you get close to me?"
"I-I'm the detective who drove you here!"
This scene immediately stunned Karasuma next to him.
"Huh? What? What's going on? What happened suddenly?"
Around the three of them, some patients and medical staff who happened to be walking in the courtyard gathered around them curiously, with expressions of fear and confusion on their faces.
If it weren't for the fact that two of the three people at the scene were police officers, I'm afraid they would have called the police by now.
"That! Don't pay attention, everyone! Officer Baihe is here! Go back! Go back!"
Although he still didn't understand what happened, Karasuma actively loudly dispersed the onlookers.
"Did you hear that?"
As Kokarasuma shouted, the boy bent down slightly and said to the "criminal policeman":
"Since I entered the Metropolitan Police Department, all the people around me who know me well, including 'you' who drives me, have always called me 'Police Officer Baihe' instead of 'White River Police Department'.
Especially my subordinates in the Metropolitan Police Department, this is never an exception... Let me ask you one last time, who are you? "
Hearing the boy's words, the "criminal police officer" was stunned for a moment, with an obvious look of surprise on his face.
After a long time, "he" sighed in frustration.
"What...is this the original problem?"
"His" voice suddenly changed and became a very distinctly female voice.
This time, not only the boy, but also the little Karasuma beside him was dumbfounded.
A grown man... suddenly said such a delicate female voice? A pervert? ! Or some kind of voice-changing technique? !
But unlike Karasuma, the boy was just stunned for a moment before a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He seemed to have guessed the identity of this "criminal police officer".
"Sure enough, without careful investigation, it is easy for acquaintances to see through my disguise... Well, but this also shows that my disguise is very powerful, doesn't it? After all, even the famous Police Officer Baihe is only known by my name. Flaws to detect authenticity..."
Yes, among all the people the boy knew so far, that was the only one who knew such ghostly disguise and voice-changing skills.
"Are you... Black Rose?"
"Wrong! Black Rose is a thing of the past! Now please call me by my real name, Mina Okino... By the way! How long do you want to hold me down on the ground?!"
"Ah, sorry..."
"..."
Okino Mina is one of the two important partners the boy met when he went to London more than a year ago.
Code-named "Black Rose", he is a monster thief who runs rampant in various European countries. He is characterized by his perfect disguise and voice-changing skills that can deceive everyone.
According to her, her true identity is a woman born in Japan, and she learned the art of disguise from an old magician she knew named Kuroba.
By the way, according to Okino Mina, the old magician's magic skills are terrible, but his young son seems to be very talented...
"So you are the Phantom Thief..."
After the little farce ended, the three of them sat on the bench together again.
Karasuma had heard the boy mention the matter in London before, so he naturally knew about Black Rose.
She looked at the "criminal police face" on Okino Mina's face with great curiosity. She raised and lowered her hand subconsciously, as if she wanted to touch it.
"It's amazing, it looks exactly like the real face..."
"Hmph! How about it? Very powerful, right? Little sister Karasuma, do you want to see my real face?" Okino Mina smiled and poked her face.
"I think!" Xiao Karasuma nodded vigorously.
"Hey, I'm going to take off the mask, do you have to watch it?"
"Uh-huh!"
A smirk suddenly appeared on her face. Okino Mina raised her hands and grabbed both sides of her cheeks and suddenly exerted force. With a "hiss" sound, her entire "face" was torn off.
"Whoa!"
This rather horrifying scene scared Karasuma, who couldn't take his eyes away, so much that he jumped up and almost suffered a cardiac arrest.
But the instigator burst into laughter after his plan succeeded.
"Haha! I'm scared! I'm really scared!"
"O-Ms. Okino?! You...!"
"Little sister Karasuma, your screaming voice is so cute~"
This is the first time Karasuma meets Okino Mina.
This person is very bad.
There may be an uncle's soul in her body.
