Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

On the highway from Yokohama Airport to Tokyo, Shiraki has been thinking about one thing.

He was thinking about the last phone call that Oda Saku made to himself before he went to find mimic for a desperate battle.

Perhaps Odasaku didn't want to disturb Shiraki's state, and didn't want him to miss the precious opportunity of an overseas university interview, so when talking on the phone, Odasaku didn't reveal any secrets.

They talked on the phone as usual, and said their usual farewells.

Now Shiraki thought about it carefully, Oda Saku once told him on the phone that he had prepared a 13-year-old birthday present for himself.

But he never received this birthday present.

He only received the sad news of the death of Oda Saku and his five children - this was definitely not a gift prepared by Oda as a gift for him, and he thought that Oda Saku would not hate him to this extent.

That period was too dark. All these years, Bai Mu has always regarded it as this gift and never had time to be sent out, and he has never carefully searched for the source and destination of this gift.

Odasaku handled the matter properly, since he said to prepare a gift for him, it is common sense that even after he left, the gift would still be delivered to Shiraki.

Looking at the shopping receipt in his hand, Shiraki began to suspect a possibility for the first time—if this is the present Oda Tsukuru prepared for him, then it is probably not an ordinary birthday present.

Even the purchase records have been tampered with, at least two pieces of information can be obtained.

One, whoever tampered with the bank records, this person knew about his relationship with Odasaku, and he knew it before he was 13 years old.

The second is... this person doesn't want Shiraki to get the last gift that Oda Zuo left him.There are two directions of interpretation for this matter itself.

If it is explained from the perspective of personal feelings, Shiraki is emotionally punished by confiscating his cherished memories.But if it was for punishment, he would definitely tell Baimu about the existence of this thing, making Baimu entangled with it, so it is impossible for Baimu to be unaware of it.This logic is different, Bai Mu first ruled out the possibility of private revenge.

What's more, someone who can stretch his hands so far and make things so seamless... Thinking about it really makes people feel chills down the spine.If it wasn't for getting the shopping receipt from Dazai, it is very possible that Shiraki would be kept a secret for a lifetime.

Then there is still a speculation, no matter what kind of gifts Odasaku bought for him in this gem shop in Ginza, Tokyo... it is likely to convey a specific message to him.

After drawing this inference, Bai Mu couldn't sit still anymore.No matter what channel Dazai used to touch this matter, but the people behind the layout are so meticulous and patient, it is absolutely impossible not to notice Dazai's movements at all.

So if he doesn't move anymore, the person hiding behind the scenes will do it.

He must investigate clearly how the jewelry store called 'jewelryétrange' in Ginza, Tokyo had any communication with Odasaku's life.

The street moving outside the car entered Chuo Avenue from Ginza Nanachome, and finally stopped at the retro building street.The taxi driver accepted the two dollars in Bai Mu's hand, and eagerly took out the suitcase from the trunk for him.

Bai Mu blended into his own personality, nodded his thanks with a haughty attitude, and left with his little wedge heels.

Judging from the information on the surface, Nasu Shiraki should have boarded the flight to Hakata at this time, but the return of the carbine at the airport was just a cover-up he used to paralyze the people behind the scenes.

If you want to change your identity to the greatest extent in terms of appearance, then different genders, different nationalities, and different races are the least suspicious choices.

Ms. Angelina from Mexico is a professional woman with brown curly hair, chocolate-colored skin, and a white suit. She walks on the street with a neat and confident posture.

No one would have thought that this was actually a boy who grew up in the country.

Shiraki made a disguise that even he could deceive, the neighborhood was very quiet, he dragged his small suitcase, and stepped on the road with his little leather shoes, walking towards the location of the gem shop.

With every step, he gradually expanded his abilities, and the scope of analyzing matter continued to increase... He saw at least three suspicious-looking people near this street.

It doesn't look like a pedestrian, but more like squatting here, watching something.

But he did not hide his whereabouts.

Because at the moment he is not Nasu Shiraki, he is Ms. Angelina, an international friend from Mexico.

Even if he stepped into the surveillance area, so what?

Turning the corner of the street, a seven-story building came into view. Shiraki pressed the intercom in front of the corresponding house number and called the studio on the second floor.

The electronic door was opened, and the people inside asked him to go up and talk, Bai Mu walked up the stairs and walked to the studio on the second floor.

jewelryétrange, that's what he's here for.

A black-haired young man with a straight face appeared in the field of vision. He opened the door with a friendly smile and welcomed him in: "Welcome to come. Excuse me, miss, do you have an appointment?"

Real men don't need to hide, dare to face the truth and facts, Shiraki replied in his original voice: "Sorry, no. But please let me talk to the shopkeeper."

Although Shiraki's voice was nice, there was no doubt that it was a male.The young man who looked like an assistant in front of him was taken aback by his surprise.

But he returned to normal faster than Bai Mu expected, as if seeing a man wearing a graceful woman's clothing was a completely acceptable thing for him.

Compared with a jewelry store in the traditional sense, jewelry étrange is more like a warm cafe, with comfortable soft sofas by the window, which is completely different from Shiraki's original imagination.

This is not the diamond jewelry store with dozens of glass showcases on the street, displaying all the collections under the best lighting, but in a space full of privacy and relaxation to facilitate jewelry transactions .

There is a solid metal door deep in the house. When Shiraki detected it with his ability, he knew that this was the store's gem vault.No wonder it is an appointment system, this studio cannot accommodate a large number of guests at the same time.

But Shiraki didn't make an appointment.

After the ability was activated, Bai Mu knew that there were three people in the store including him.

When the third person entered the door, he was still eating some steaming snacks from the tea preparation room next door. Now that he had finished eating, he came out.

——What surprised Shirley Weiwei was that this was a real foreign friend with blond hair and blue eyes.The delicate and white skin, high nose bridge and deep eye sockets all show the characteristics of the Caucasian race.The man was wearing a well-tailored light gray men's suit. He was no longer in the posture of just stealing a snack, but stood a few steps away with an upright posture, observing the situation here.

Shiraki was thinking, should he communicate with this foreign store owner in English or Spanish?This was really beyond his expectation, because he knew that Oda Saku's mastery of foreign languages ​​was not enough to communicate proficiently.

Seeing Shiraki's eyes staring at the past, this beautiful foreigner who is extremely eye-catching, almost radiating light with a glance and a smile, politely introduced himself briefly in pure Japanese: "I am the owner of this shop. Richard, what should I call you?"

Bai Mu didn't answer right away, he was observing the shopkeeper and making his own judgment, "I want to ask you about a deal."

The smile on Richard's face didn't even change, "I'm sorry, protecting the privacy of the guests is a matter of professional ethics, and I will not disclose the information of the customers. This guest, if you are interested in gemstones, you can make an appointment in advance. Every guest who comes to the door will be properly entertained.”

The shopkeeper was calm, and Shiraki held up the small ticket printed with the ability to Richard.

Richard's expression finally showed a slight flaw for the first time, it was a look of suspicion.He obviously couldn't figure out how this stub, which was supposed to be kept in his store, got into this person's hands?

But Richard still didn't change his tone, "Our next guest will come soon, Miss, if you have nothing to do, please make an appointment before coming."

Bai Mu said: "Excuse me, is there a bathroom, can I borrow it?"

When Bai Mu came out of the bathroom, he had already taken off his sunglasses, completely changed back to his original appearance, and put on normal men's clothing.

After going to the toilet, it is common for women to touch up their makeup when they come out, but it is rare for women to not only change their sex when they come out, but even bleach their skin white.

The assistant looked at him, finally dumbfounded this time.

On the contrary, after Richard saw his original appearance, he opened his eyes slightly in a daze. He quickly came back to his senses, turned his head and explained to the black-haired assistant: "Justice, please make a call, and send the half-assed man right away." Hours later, the client’s agreed schedule was cancelled. As an apology, I will give a 3% discount on the transaction price next time.”

"Then, close the shop now." Sitting on the sofa, Richard crossed his legs and crossed his legs gracefully. "Lock the door and don't let outsiders in."

Although the young man who was called righteous was puzzled by such an unusual order, he did not question Richard's meaning and followed it immediately.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Richard's smile this time was slightly different from the impeccable politeness and alienation before. He seemed to be completely relieved the moment he saw Bai Muzhen. "Mr. Nasu, please sit down. The story is very long, let's talk slowly."

"You are very vigilant, but you are more than enough externally, but inexperienced internally." Shiraki snapped his fingers, and Richard heard something fall and landed on the ground, making a slight sound.

Bai Mu smiled slightly: "In your studio, someone has already installed miniature cameras and bugs... But don't worry, they were all destroyed the moment I came in."

Seeing Richard's expression, Bai Mu said slowly: "The people watching outside may not give us a chance to talk slowly. Mr. Richard, I can tell you everything you know about this shopping receipt. me?"

"I only know that you are not the first person to express interest in it this month." Richard said calmly, "Yesterday, there was also a handsome man with a bandage on the door. His purpose seems to be completely different from yours. same."
