Duanmu looked at the resolute shop owner and sighed helplessly.

You can't just kill him for offense because of such a trivial matter, right?

He is Duanmu with steel bones, not a Celestial Dragon.

Besides, the fundamental purpose of the other party is for the safety of his girlfriend.

After reorganizing his words, Duanmu began to respond.

"Would a kidnapper easily allow people to see his face? And I just showed my diplomatic credentials."

The shopkeeper crossed his arms.

"I don't know whether your diplomatic documents are true or false. And having said that, as long as the kidnapping case is not made public, normal people will not think that someone will commit the crime in person, and they will not tell the local police your appearance and characteristics. .”

Duanmu held his forehead, thinking that he had been in the limelight recently, challenging John, scheming against Kennedy, and playing many high-end games, but now he still couldn't win the trust of an ordinary person in the land of Wano with his excellent conversation.

"Are all people in Wano like you? You should be alert but also moderate."

Duanmu thought for a moment. "Have you ever experienced something similar? For example, you have witnessed a kidnapping case before but failed to stop it..."

The shopkeeper frowned.

"I haven't had that kind of terrible experience. To say the least, it's just that you are too suspicious."

He sat directly on the chair inside the bar, crossed his hands, and looked at Duanmu with extremely sharp eyes, although he looked from low to high.

"If there's no bad intent, you just sit there and wait for her to wake up."

His tone kept getting stronger, as if he was threatening.

"No matter how many hours, I will accompany you to the end. If you are not satisfied, you can call the policeman over. How about it?"

Duanmu sighed, then raised his hand and announced defeat.

"Okay, you win. But before I call the police, I have a question. Why are you going to such lengths to protect her?"

"To you, she is just a strange customer who suddenly fell asleep. She didn't wake up even at closing time. Just when you were in great trouble, her boyfriend showed up."

"I am now skeptical about the identity of your alleged boyfriend."

Duanmu sighed helplessly.

"Well, a guy claiming to be her boyfriend appeared in front of you." Seeing that the store didn't argue anymore, Duanmu continued: "You showed your ID and said you wanted to check out and take the person away. Most people wouldn't be so suspicious, right? At least we won’t connect it to crimes. We won’t ask about any subtle suspicious things.”

"Even if I have doubts, I will observe the situation more safely before making any comments."

Duanmu shook the two knives on his waist.

"After all, I carry a deadly weapon with me. Once you are questioned in a hurry, if I am really a gangster, I will probably kill you without hesitation."

The shop owner was unmoved and said coldly.

"It's just because your statement is full of loopholes. It's too suspicious."

"As for if you are really ready to take that step, let's do it. Murder is a crime one level higher than kidnapping in Wano Country."

"Okay. Is it okay if I say this?"

Duanmu looked at the store in front of him.

It can be seen that he is actually very tall and well groomed. He has a thick Chinese face with thick and long eyebrows. Even just sitting there calmly can make people feel a pressure.

"You just want to protect her, right? Just like Prince Charming protects the princess."

The shopkeeper’s brows twitched.

"At the same time, in your opinion now, it would be more to your liking if I was really a vicious gangster."

"Watching all your actions, I have come to this conclusion."

"..."

"...If you are not prepared to defend yourself, I will continue." Duanmu continued. "For you, you are trying desperately to find evidence that I am a gangster because you want to be a hero and not miss the opportunity to seek justice."

"Based on this, you interpret all of my explanations in a negative light."

Duanmu continued his tirade.

"At first I thought you had had a similar experience, but you simply denied it."

"This is a story that actually happened to me. About four or five years ago, I had two friends who loved animals very much. But the reasons why they ultimately decided to love animals were different. "

"The first one was because of discipline reasons. He was not allowed to keep pets when he was a child. When he grew up, he particularly wanted to get close to small animals, and soon after he actually got a pet. It was a cute pigeon. oh?"

"What do you want to say."

"As for the second one, he hasn't got a pet yet. I saw that he treated the small animals so tenderly, so I told him my confusion." Duanmu continued to talk to himself.

"As a result, his answer was [because I once accidentally killed a pet, so in order to gain psychological comfort, I chose this hypocritical behavior. In other words, my behavior was not out of kindness, or it was true. Like animals].”

The store owner's eyes changed.

"In my opinion, in the final analysis, psychology is just a classification of popular phenomena, and it is a pseudo-science that relies on the results to deduce conclusions."

"Normal people, I mean normal people. Except for minorities with natural antisocial personality and other reasons, once people make mistakes, they will find ways to make up for it. A common example is that they have never been treated fairly. A person who knows everything will be fair in everything. Children who have never felt love will grow up to desire love to the point of madness."

"In addition, it is not uncommon for people to do things that others think are stupid, regardless of the danger, in order to make up for past sins. Because as time goes by, impulses will gradually cool down. This is why my friend Although I live in harmony with small animals, in the end there is no reason to raise a small animal like the former.”

"People are most likely to be impulsive for this reason in the short period of time after they realize they have made a mistake."

"You really hope that I am the gangster who can make you atone for your sins, a gangster who will threaten her life. You hope so from the bottom of your heart."

Duanmu looked at the store owner who fell silent.

"Hey, could it be said that you just committed some serious crime today?"

Duanmu pointed at the door behind the bar that led to an unknown location.

"To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was a body hidden behind this door."

The store owner's pupils moved slightly in that direction.

"What would you do if there really was a body hidden behind this door?"

All the knives in the store were placed in front of the bar not far from him, within his reach.
