[Toru Amuro] Those years when I worked at Poirot

"Well, Bourbon? That girl—could it be Margaux?"

Belmode was lying in the bathtub with thick foam, with two white, graceful arms stretched out, a glass of mellow red wine in one hand, and the edge of the mobile phone in the other, emerald green nails in the crystal chandelier In the psychedelic brilliance, it looks even more vivid.

"I'm not sure, Belmode." Bourbon's voice on the other end of the phone hesitated, "but she's suspicious."

Belmode put the wine glass aside and admired his newly painted nails against the light: "Is it because she happened to appear at this time?"

"No, this is not the key point, but rather an unexplainable doubt. Belmode, if you were this Margaux, would you approach me with great fanfare after I had already gotten the wind and knew that she would lurk beside me? ?” Bourbon calmly analyzed.

Belmod's hand outstretched in mid-air froze for a moment: "Of course not. To deal with ordinary people, approaching quietly is the easiest and most effective way, but for you and me, this method is too blatant, unless She can do it silently."

"That's right, so I don't think she's Margaux. Of course, the possibility of her acting stupid is not ruled out." Remembering Natsume Akie's clumsy look this afternoon, Amuro pouted, "Maybe her acting skills are better than yours."

Belmode laughed twice: "Women are born to be excellent actors, Bourbon. But I agree with your point of view, if that kitty is Margaux, then she is too careless, actually in the expert Show him what he's good at."

"Are you a compliment or a sarcasm, Belmode?"

"Ah, of course it's a compliment. After all, since that's the case, why are you still wary of her?"

Bourbon was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I went to her house for the first time yesterday and felt very strange. As far as I could see, I found three pinhole cameras, and they were installed in strange locations. One was facing the TV, and the other Right across from the gate, there's another one mounted on the bezel of the TV."

"Is there such a thing? Is it necessary to gather all three monitors in the living room? Shouldn't they be spread out?"

"That's right, these three monitors were probably installed by herself, not by outsiders who sneaked into her house and installed them secretly. Because the location is too conspicuous, it is easy to be found after a long time."

"It turns out that there are three surveillance cameras installed in the living room alone, which is even more exaggerated than me." Belmode picked up the red wine again, and took a sip. "This girl is not simple. What about other doubts?"

"It's a surprising contrast. I secretly asked the manager of her apartment when she lived in and what kind of work she had done before, but he couldn't answer it. I checked the files and found out that she moved here at the beginning of this year. It's been less than three months, but he seems to seldom see her coming in and out of the building, and she has always looked indifferent, he said something to describe her, do you know what it is?"

"You've got me curious, Bourbon."

Bourbon smiled lowly, and said: "He said, 'I don't seem to remember her appearance, although I meet occasionally, but she just blows by like the wind, leaving me nothing at all. Impression, I didn’t really see her face clearly until I came here with you that day.’ These are his exact words.”

Belmode was stunned for a while: "She is quite pretty, Bourbon, no man will have no impression of a pretty girl."

"But that's the way it is."

"It's interesting, I'm getting more and more interested in this girl, Bourbon. In order to thank you for the little gift, let me tell you the latest gossip about Margaux."

"Oh, then I really want to thank this restless kitten. How many secrets are you keeping from me, Belmode?"

Belmode laughed loudly: "Asecretmakesawomenwomen, as a well-known mystic in the organization, you have no right to speak of me, dear Bourbon."

Bourbon hummed softly over the phone.

Belmode sat up straight in the bathtub, his snow-white and full chest looming in the dense water vapor.

"She was once disfigured by a bomb, with a large area of ​​burns on her face. But she is also proficient in disguise, not inferior to me. You have to be careful, maybe one day I will sit in front of you in disguise. Woolen cloth."

There was a long silence on the phone.

"Are you still there, Bourbon?"

"May I ask you a question, Belmode?" Bourbon suddenly asked.

"what is the problem?"

"If you were blown up by a bomb once, what will you do the next time you encounter a bomb?"

"I would feel extremely terrified. For a woman, being disfigured is more terrifying than death. If it were me, I would be terrified of the culprit who caused all this. Why do you ask that, you shouldn't be—"

"It's useless to rely on inference, Belmode, I want to try it myself and see how she will react." Bourbon said without emotion.

Belmode felt a faint chill creeping up her back, and after a few seconds, she smiled bitterly: "It's really you, Bourbon, no wonder Gin doesn't like you so much, your coldness It's so similar. If that girl is not Margaux, your actions will cast a shadow on her for the rest of her life. Of course, I have no right to say you."

"I'll be careful."

These were Bourbon's last words before hanging up the phone.

Belmod threw the phone into the pile of clothes and lay back in the bathtub again. She didn't know whether it was because the water became cold or for some other reason. She felt a sharp chill running through her body.

It's fine, as long as it doesn't hurt the two children, she won't care.

Poor little kitten, wish you were lucky.

The author says:

I will work harder to code for the break that I don’t know when it will come, and I will post it after the code is completed (^^)/

In fact, Amuro is not a very "just" person, and sometimes he will use whatever means for the purpose, such as the incident with Mrs. Judy's friend, if she was not pushed downstairs by chance, then in order to create a follow-up, he seems to be planning to hit her with a car, yes Not a little scary (￣￣)

I read everyone’s comments, and some didn’t reply because they were afraid of spoilers, but this seems to be tantamount to spoilers ╮(╯▽╰)╭
