Chapter 87: New Discoveries Continued
Gut feeling?
Hmph, sneering in my heart, thinking that with this childish excuse you can fool the past every time? Too naΓ―ve flan sauce. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Although intuition has always been mistaken for an illusionary ability, the basis of intuition is not so complicated," I said, "Hmm-the appearance of this forty-year-old handsome official has absolutely no non-human features, and Franchan's intuition certainly does not come from appearance, but if there is an abnormality in appearance, there is no need to judge by intuition." β
"Alice is so troublesome, anyway, Fran is right!"
"Hmph," I continued, "Fran-chan, have you seen him before?" Not on TV, in reality. β
"Fran has seen him?" Miss Maruko spoke, "Fran has always been with me again, do you have a chance to meet someone like that?" Ah, but a few days ago, she was with Mr. I, but Mr. Ii is a cartoonist, will he have contact with officials? β
"No, I don't think it has anything to do with Ii-sensei, Fran-chan."
"Eh......" Fran-chan rolled her eyes again, "because, because my sister needs a lot of outside currency...... So when I first came to the outside world, I took Fran to steal! β
"Why don't you learn Marisa! Don't wait...... In order to adapt to the outside world faster, it is not difficult to understand the cameo role of thief and thief, but the object of your action is the official who is standing on the TV and listening carefully to the discussion of the meeting? β
"Hey, that's right."
"You say he's a youkai, did he find it before or after the operation? By the way, how can your sister know where to find someone who has the value of being stolen? She's spent more time in Gensokyo than me, so she's not that smart. β
"Don't speak ill of your sister!" Fran bared her little tiger teeth, "It's a bat, the bat tells my sister who is more valuable as a target!" β
"Just a government official who chose a real youkai?"
"Oops, I actually found out after I was accidentally caught at someone's house."
"Sure enough, it's the same sense of Wannian squatting at home, your sister's ability to adapt to the outside world can't leave me too far, and being caught on the spot at the time of the crime is the end it deserves, what happens after you are caught? Although the absolute height of the outer demon's combat power is insufficient, the average value may be relatively high, but your sister won't be afraid. β
"Of course, that's why the kind uncle gave all the cash in the family to my sister."
"Oh...... A strange picture came to my mind, ah, these don't really matter, who is this monster official, have you investigated? Does he really have a lot of cash at home? β
"Really!" Fran's child swore that "if my sister says a lot, there must be a lot, enough money to buy a plane ticket!" β
"What?"
Miss Maruko, an outside expert, stroked her forehead and interjected: "The ticket is indeed a lot of money...... If it were a more expensive international flight, my monthly salary would not be enough to buy 10 tickets. β
Although I didn't fully understand it, it is not difficult to hear the hidden idea that the so-called air ticket money is used to bluff children.
But if the editor's monthly salary is enough to go back and forth to China and abroad more than five times, she should be classified as a rich person, right? Besides, her family seems to belong to the ranks of the wealthy.
"Hey, don't digress the topic, Fran-chan, why did the bat tell your sister that person is rich? Is there anything special about him other than being a monster? β
"I don't know!"
"I'm too naΓ―ve to have expectations for little girls."
"Bite you, stupid doll monster!"
"Hmph, Marisa, and Ice Spirit's bad habits have all been learned."
The news footage didn't stay for long, but it was enough for me to take note of the appearance of the strange official behind Hojohiko who was recognized as a youkai by Fran, although the change of appearance is not a sophisticated technology, as a youkai with the official status of human society, in order to cope with daily work, he should not hide his appearance at will, so I don't need to worry too much about the bad development of running into him but not recognizing him, and I may have a chance to meet him at the dinner party tomorrow night.
"Anyway, there is no introduction to the participants in the news subtitles?" I asked Miss Maruko for confirmation.
"It seems that there are a lot of participants in this diplomatic meeting, but most of them are representatives of diplomatic missions of small countries who have organized a delegation to visit, and the introduction of these people accounts for most of the news space, and the introduction of the foreign minister and several senior officials accompanying him has arrived at the scheduled time, as for the subtitles, the news screen is not big, and the subtitles can only be reserved for the most important people, and the phenomenon of other officials who are not at the same level as TV tricks in a news can only be sorry."
"It's a strict hierarchy."
"Haha, compared to another veritable ancient country in the East, Japan's hierarchy is not as majestic as it was in the barbarian era, at least on the surface, voters have the right and freedom to criticize high-ranking bureaucrats at will, and they don't have to worry about being arrested and toiled to death as they did hundreds of years ago."
As a small country aristocrat who has little contact with the outside world, I am no stranger to the life of commoners, they don't need to offend anyone at all, they are born with the fate of working to death, in fact, everyone is similar, the difference is only the way of working......
"Well, I've made a new discovery," the news has completely jumped to the next one, and I'm still thinking about the scene of the foreign affairs meeting, "The monster who looks like a big official at a glance, although he pretends to listen very carefully to the spirit and records of the meeting, but I think he still feels a little strange when I think he is a little similar to the black suit thugs I have seen!" β
"Not all black suits are thug bodyguards...... Miss Maruko complained at the right time, "The president and the prime minister are usually dressed in black suits." β
"I'm talking about feelings, that kind of wonderful intuition," as the words came out, and as expected, they were stared at and pouted by Fran's children, "Ahem, I'm serious, not joking, to verify my wonderful feelings...... Oops, I forgot to take a picture of that person, is there a way for Miss Maruko to search out the news of the meeting and broadcast it again? β
"There may be a TV station website, look for it."
Miss Maruko brought in her notebook and familiarized herself with the news clip that was being played.
"Good! Fixed. "When the playback was at the right stage, I took out my phone and pointed it at the youkai official behind Hojohiko on the screen and pressed the shutter.
Then I sent the photo and inquiry to Edogawaichi by email, saying that his email address seems to have come by the way when I chatted with him this afternoon, because it was not convenient to leave only a mobile phone number before, and at this moment this kind of communication with pictures and large pieces of text, I seem to have a premonition that I may often ask him or ask him to verify clues in the future?
In less than a minute, I received a reply on my phone, and it turned out that my wonderful instincts were more reliable than Fran-chan: Uncle Edogawa told me that, at least from the physical appearance, this high-ranking official, who appeared to be an assistant to Hojohiko, was the consignee of the organization behind the nearly capture of him.
