Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Witch Arrives
In the village office on Lunaris Island, Officer Nakamori is leading his subordinates to conduct a unified inspection of the outsiders on Lunaris Island.
"Which station are you from?" While kneading the face of the man in front of him, Nakamori Ginzo interrogated in a cold voice, "Now the incident is still under investigation, don't run around!" ”
"Officer, I'm just an ordinary tourist! Don't think too much about it! The reporter whose identity was revealed rubbed his pinched sore face and said with a dead face.
"Hmph, less garlic for you! I saw you last time at the Ekoda Museum, don't underestimate the policeman's eyesight! ”
"Go over there and line up with your peers for the next check! Don't get in the way of our search in the future! ”
After unceremoniously sending the reporter away, Nakamori Ginzo continued to devote himself to his busy work. The teaser letter of the Phantom of the Strange Thief attracted a lot of good media, and these hyenas with long guns and short cannons soon swarmed and gathered on this small island that no one cared about.
Nakamori didn't mind these media outlets reporting on his wisdom and professionalism, but unfortunately they didn't come for that. For such ignorant reporters, Nakamori Ginzo could only politely ask them not to obstruct the search.
"Next. Well? You are? Nakamori Ginzo rubbed his eyes, feeling that the tourist in front of him was very familiar.
The tourist in front of him was a fashionably dressed girl, and Nakamori Ginzo estimated that the other party was about the same age as his daughter. Nakamori Ginzo faintly felt that he had seen this girl somewhere, but the other party's pretty face was mostly blocked by sunglasses and a sunhat, and it was really difficult to recognize.
Just as Nakamori Yinzo was about to find a policewoman to come over to help check, the girl opposite took the lead in speaking:
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the father of Nakamori's classmate, right?" The girl took off her sunglasses and exposed her beautiful face, "I saw you last time at the parent-teacher conference. ”
“…… I remember! Nakamori Ginzo patted his head, "You're Aoko's classmate!" ”
"My name is Koizumi Hongko, please advise." Koizumi greeted politely.
"It turned out to be Koizumi-san, why did I say it was so familiar! Why did you suddenly come to this island? ”
"I'm here for a vacation." Koizumi put on her sunglasses again and said with a light smile, "Although this place is not very famous, the scenery is beautiful. A great place to spend a holiday. ”
"May I ask Officer Nakamori, can I go?" At this point, the necklace around her neck flickered with an imperceptible glimmer. Seeing this light, Nakamori Ginzo suddenly felt a mental trance, and in a daze, he waved his hand and said to Koizumi Hongzi:
"No problem, your inspection has passed, now you can go!"
"Thank you." After thanking her, Koizumi avoided pinching her face and swaggered into the village. She didn't want her perfect face to be treated so roughly.
This necklace is a magic item that she specially made to disturb the minds of others. Although this item can't manipulate other people's spirits like the Phantom of the Monster Thief, it is more than enough to confuse Nakamori Ginzo and avoid inspection.
Like the group of reporters who were blocked in the village office, Koizumi Hongzi was also attracted by the teaser letter. Since the last incident at the Jianguda Museum, she has been paying attention to the movements of the Phantom of the Strange Thief.
For this legendary trickster, Koizumi Hongzi was in awe but also couldn't suppress his curiosity. At first, Koizumi Hongzi planned to rely on divination and magic to find the true body of the Phantom of the Strange Thief, but this time all the red magic she was proud of failed, and she couldn't find any clues about the Phantom of the Strange Thief.
In desperation, Koizumi Hongzi can only leave for Moon Shadow Island, hoping to catch the whereabouts of the Phantom of the Strange Thief.
Koizumi left the office and walked for a while in the sea breeze. She admired the smooth white sandy beach not far away, and began to secretly regret why she didn't bring a swimsuit.
"No! I'm here to do business, not for a vacation! Koizumi woke up suddenly and threw out all the distracting thoughts in her mind. She looked around, took off her visor and glasses when she was sure there was no one near the clearing, and let her long, silky hair sway in the sea breeze.
"You've spotted me, trickster!" Koizumi Hongko suddenly shouted into the air in front of him, "My name is Koizumi Hongko, and I am a real witch!" At the same time, I'm also a friend of Kidd the Monster Thief who you helped! ”
"If you're here, can you show up and meet me?"
With that, Koizumi Hongzi nervously straightened her waist, her two eyes looked left and right, and even her breathing became heavy. Although she didn't know the specific skills of the trickster, the legend that had been passed down for a long time made her dare not underestimate the other party.
Koizumi Hongzi was very suspicious that the moment he entered Moon Shadow Island, he had been pinched in the palm of his hand by the trickster. So she decided to just explain her intentions here, maybe she could save some time.
However, it backfired, and after a long silence, Koizumi Hongzi, who had been nervous for a long time, did not wait for the response she expected.
Is it the trickster who doesn't want to respond to him, or is the other person actually not discovering himself at all? Koizumi put on her hat in chagrin and turned away from the clearing.
…………
As Koizumi screams into the air in a voice full of sincerity, the legendary trickster is lurking in the heart of the community, observing the every move of the people who come and go, and is unaware of the witch's visit.
He first went to the village detention center, where he listened to Maori Kogoro's reasoned but incorrect reasoning. Although this reasoning could not help the Metropolitan Police Department catch the reality of Asumi hidden behind the scenes, it unexpectedly facilitated Laiqixiao's next actions.
In Mori Kogoro's reasoning, Secretary Hirata has become the prime suspect in the murder of the former village chief and the sending of a crime notice letter. Although none of the above incidents have anything to do with him, as a drug dealer, it is not a good thing to be targeted by the police.
Once Kazuaki Hirata is suspected by the police, he will immediately become a thorn in the side of the drug cartels, and this group of cruel scum will not trust a time bomb like him. In this way, Lai Qixiao can verify the feasibility of his plan without having to do it himself.
Laiqixiao had already arrived at the community center first, observing the situation of the people coming and going, while waiting for Officer Twilight and Maori Kogoro's arrival.
And it just so happened that three members of the drug trafficking syndicate also gathered here this afternoon, secretly plotting, completely unaware of the arrival of the crisis.
