Chapter 29 Train Mystery (8) - Recruitment

Why did Officer Sato and Officer Takagi find two masks in carriages six and seven?

Time goes back to when we were about to arrive at Nagoya Station.

The mask in carriage number seven belongs to Officer Ishida.

"Officer Ishida" from Kyoto made the excuse of going to buy some food, tore off a layer of mask in the bathroom of carriage No. 7, threw it on the ground, then lowered his hat and came out to get off the train and leave.

The mask in carriage number five belongs to Yumi Kuwahara.

Kuroba Kurian finally finished her meal, and she heard the second reminder urging the dining car passengers to get off and prepare.

So she paid the bill and quickly walked down the stairs.

Passengers in carriage number seven who were paying attention to the aisle saw a girl who looked very similar to Kuroba Kuriyasu, perhaps jogging quickly towards carriage number six.

She walked straight through carriages seven and six, stayed in carriage six for a few dozen seconds to chat with Officer Sato, and then left quickly. She raised her hand and grabbed the handle leading from carriage six to carriage five, then coughed lightly.

At about the same time, Yuko Sora, a girl in a light-colored skirt in carriage number five, lowered the brim of her hat and walked into the bathroom of her carriage. She took out a mask, threw it on the ground, then took off her gloves and put the hat in her bag.

What was reflected in the mirror was Kuroba Kuriyasu's face.

A light cough was heard in the earphones.

The two of them silently chanted a spell and then opened the door.

In the eyes of the passengers who looked up in the No. 5 carriage, a girl in a light-colored long skirt opened the doors of carriages 5 and 6, and then walked quickly through the doors of carriages 4 and 5. A few minutes later, another girl walked out of the bathroom, and instead of returning to her seat, she turned around and walked towards the dining car.

In the eyes of the people in Carriage 6, a girl who looked a little shy and timid walked in from another car. She lowered her head slightly and kept looking at the ground in front of her. Occasionally she looked up at the people around her and then lowered her head again. She was supposed to go to the dining car, but when she saw someone, she slowed down. She slowly walked to the girl, with some disbelief and uncertainty in her tone, and she called softly: "Sa... Saeko?"

This is a visual illusion. They used illusion to shift the focus of vision. Two girls pushed open the door, one walked out of the bathroom and left, while the other disappeared from people's sight and went into the bathroom to wait. In full view of everyone, they had changed positions.

At this time, Kuroba Kuriyasu also used illusion to change his face.

Neither of them needed masks at all.

This was their first illusion show, but no one watching the show knew that.

In the eyes of the passengers, the figure coming out of the dining car and hurriedly walking towards the exit of carriage No. 4 was Kuroba Kuriyasu; and the girl coming out of the bathroom and walking towards the dining car was Kuwahara Yumi.

……

So what was the spontaneous combustion incident at Kyoto Station?

The time has come for Officer Sato and the kids to look for the bomb.

"Lure the tiger...away from the mountain...?"

"Ms. Kuroba Kuriyasu."

Kato Saeko looked at the pale but still smiling girl in front of her and asked this question.

"Kuwahara Yumi" laughed softly and said, "Ms. Kato has recognized the wrong person."

No? How could it be?

"Kuwabara Yumi" or Kuroba Kuriyasu introduced himself with a smile: "My code name is Bamboo Leaf Green."

Speaking of which, the code name Zhuyeqing is quite useful, as it includes tea, wine, and animals.

It was for this reason that Li An carefully considered and chose this seemingly unknown code name.

Codename member!

Kato Saeko gave a bitter smile. It turned out that her previous well-intentioned reminder was a joke?

She asked somewhat dejectedly: "Are you here to kill me?"

"No, you misunderstood." Li An shook his head and said, "Now, I am communicating with you as Ming's Bamboo Leaf Green."

Wait, [Ming]?

She vaguely remembered hearing that it was an intelligence organization.

Kato felt like something was wrong.

"Ms. Kuroba?"

Kuroba Kurian raised his hand and grabbed Kato's handcuffs and pulled her into the bathroom.

There, two phantoms were left behind.

In the bathroom, Kuroba Kurian quickly fiddled with the handcuffs a few times and unlocked them, then said, "Let's put it this way, Kyoto has arranged people, and if the train didn't explode, someone else would have taken action."

After making sure that no one was in the bathroom, she laid out the matter directly and said, "I'm here to save you."

Kato looked at Li An in shock. She raised her hand and twisted her wrist, then asked, "How can I believe you?"

I've already undone your handcuffs, what else do you want to explain?

Kuroba Kurian sighed, somewhat helplessly: "Sugiura Ichiro is right, you are indeed a stubborn person."

"Sugiura?" Kato was a little confused. What did this have to do with Sugiura Ichiro? Didn't he die a long time ago?

Kuroba Kurian looked at the time and saw that there were still twenty minutes before the bomb exploded.

Oh, there's still time.

She spent three minutes briefly talking about what Ichiro Sugiura had done, focusing mainly on him and Kato and a few others.

Kato's expression changed, but he still said: "No matter what, he killed Matsui, and those people... were also killed by him. Even if he really helped me block these... but I killed him... I don't regret it."

Because those people did not survive because Sugiura helped her block the mission, Matsui Ryo did not survive either.

But, inexplicably, Kato looked a little depressed.

"Okay, now let me talk about my business."

Li An said, "You are a very good person. I feel a little sorry for you."

This speaks of Kato's sincerity towards her friends and the kindness she showed to Kurian on the day Sugiura died.

Li An is very tolerant towards such people.

"Kato Saeko, if you want to escape from the organization's pursuit, you need to "die" once and then hide your identity." Li An said, "My magic group [Bu Ye Hou] can provide you with a shelter."

"Of course, there are conditions."

Kuroba Kurian said seriously: "[Ming] needs new people, I would like to invite you to join."

"Recently, [Ming] is collecting evidence of the crimes of your organization. I infiltrated, but not for long."

"We need people to assist."

Kato Saeko pondered for a long time and nodded: "Okay."

"Then do as I say."

Kuriyasu took out a mask from his bag and put it on Kato's face. In the mirror, she turned into "Kuwahara Yumi".

They exchanged clothes.

Kuriya handcuffed himself and became "Kato Saeko".

She briefly told Kato how to leave and the codeword, and then they returned to their seats.

When the train slowly stopped, in carriage number six, "Kato Saeko" smiled, and "Kuwahara Yumi" beside her was completely relieved. She looked at Kato and thanked him.

"You should thank yourself." The handcuffed "Kato" smiled, "'Kuwabara Yumi' is sitting in the fifth car... You can just go there and sit. After we get out of Kyoto Station, I'll treat you to an escape magic show."

"Welcome to [Ming], Ms. Kato."
