It was nightfall that day.
The weather was indeed as Asakura Makoto said. Clouds covered the sky in the first half of the night, and only occasionally could the shadow of the moon be seen.
The villa was quiet, like those people were really just guests.
Asakura sat in the surveillance room set up in the bedroom, peeking at the situation in the villa through the hidden camera. Thanks to Dr. Agasa's efforts, he was able to obtain far better surveillance products than those on the market.
In the video feedback, everyone except William Carter, who was traveling and paddling, began to take action.
"Deploy a bomb as soon as you arrive?"
Asakura's eyes stayed on the man with blond bangs covering his left eye. His behavior was really outrageous. The others were at least checking out the spots in the name of sightseeing. As soon as this man arrived, he began to install some kind of device in a hidden corner.
Considering that every major event in this world involves explosions, Asakura Makoto reasonably suspects that the other party has installed a bomb that has not escaped.
"It's really boring. I thought I could play a little longer."
He shifted his focus away from this person and moved it to the maid named Ayano. As the head's personal maid, she had the authority to move freely, which was convenient for Kuroba Kaito, who was pretending to be her, to pry out information.
It is true that he will not be allowed to enter truly private places, but in this case, isn't it the important place that he is not allowed to enter?
Where the maid Ayano cannot enter, Kaito Kid can come and go freely.
Asakura really doesn't want anything to happen to Kuroba Kaito here. Speaking of which, since the beginning of this operation, he has always felt guilty towards the latter...
In order to prevent the gems from falling into the hands of others and being discovered as fakes, Makoto Asakura placed a note in advance on the display cabinet where the gems were stored, where the gems were pressed, with the words "Pandora has been taken away by me" - Kaitou Kidd " card.
In this way, even if someone discovers that the gem is fake, they will only suspect that Kid is the first to get there first, and the news that the gem was fake from the beginning will eventually disappear.
While Asakura was observing everyone's movements, the phone rang.
"What's wrong? Something happened to Miyano Akemi again?"
He glanced at the caller, Belmod. Needless to say, something must have happened to the two Miyano sisters. Only then would she take the initiative to think of brandy.
"No." Belmode denied, "Do you think I will only come to you because of her?"
"I didn't think so before, but now...tell me, what's the matter?"
"You seem to be doing something interesting, are you interested in sharing it with me?" Bellmode asked. She watched Asakura really rub out the Pandora's Stone on the TV, and knew that it was now being fanatically sought after by everyone. A gem is nothing but a fake.
"Why are you so curious all of a sudden?"
"I just thought you might need my help."
"...Your assistance?" Asakura suddenly felt that he might be dreaming. Could Belmode, who offered to assist, be a real person?
"This is not like your style. Let's just tell you what happened." Asakura interrupted Belmod's twists in advance and asked.
"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you." The exposed Belmode shook his head, "Our Rum's intelligence seems to be a bit behind. He hinted to me that if I can stand on his side, I will hand over the two Miyano sisters afterwards. I'll take care of it, skinning, cramping, cutting off hands and pulling out tongues, etc."
"Oh, he hinted so obviously?"
"That's not true. He just talked to me about his past friendship with the Miyano couple, and by the way, he helped me recall what happened during the human experiment. If it weren't for his help, I wouldn't have known that I had almost forgotten those things. Forgot..."
Belmode's emotions were somewhat complicated.
Just like Gin didn't expect that there were so many undercover agents in the organization, Rum also didn't expect that Belmode, a witch with a notorious reputation, would actually have a heart that longs for the light——
"So you came to me because you want me to provide you with psychological counseling?" Asakura said, "In the early years, I exchanged experiences with some good psychologists, and I have research in this area."
Upon hearing this proposal, Belmode did not hesitate and decisively chose to reject it.
"Seeing Shirley looking like she's been drunk, I don't dare to listen to you." There was some unspeakable admiration in her words. After all, Miyano Shiho turned down the meeting with Miyano Akemi for the sake of the experiment. This is terrible. Not an easy task.
During this period of time, the former has been immersed in research without eating or sleeping, as if he really regards drug development as his lifelong vision.
"This has nothing to do with me, it has to be attributed to Gin." Asakura said.
"How to say?"
“People who are emotionally dependent on others and are easily moved and satisfied will easily act to help the offender because of the offender’s temporary kindness, and as the behavior is repeated and strengthened, they will eventually develop a sense of identification and belonging to the offender. .”
In the original history of Miyano Shiho before she was young, her sister was her emotional support. After she was young, although she became a vicious lolita, she was still moved by the small things done by others.
This kind of personality is a characteristic of a group prone to certain mental illnesses.
"Stockholm." Bermode understood clearly. After experiencing Gin's high-pressure control, he suddenly switched to Brandy's relatively gentle, easy-going, and easy-to-talk style. In addition, Miyano Shiho was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time. It was impossible to see through his disguise.
"Scum." Bellmode made a cold evaluation of Brandy, who had been deceiving him from underage to adulthood.
"Scumbag or something, I don't accept this statement. I did improve the lives of the two sisters, didn't I? You, on the other hand, wanted to kill them when they were still young. Who is more scumbag than me? ah?"
Asakura Zhen watched the movements in the surveillance while teasing Belmod's fickleness.
After being told this, the sarcastic words Bermod was about to say were stuck in her throat and she was in a dilemma. Her mouth on the other end of the phone was slightly open, but she hesitated to speak. After a moment of hesitation, she simply skipped the topic.
"I noticed some strange faces appearing around Miyano Akemi. Did you send new surveillance personnel?"
Finally, she revealed her true purpose.
"So, isn't this what happened to Miyano Akemi?"
"Nothing happened, it's just that her progress... was so fast that it scared me." Belmod's tone was a little uneasy, "She saw through the other party's disguise and caught him."
"Isn't this a good thing? In our organization, people who are incompetent will not end well."
Miyano Akemi was already talented, and her execution and decision-making were good. Now that she has the confidence to stand at a high position in the organization, it can be said that everything is ready.
"So, her style of doing things has begun to be closer to that of Akai Shuichi, is that what you expected?"
