Unusual couples in the world of conjuration

"Mr. Bai, we have succeeded, but also failed."

Overseas call from England, the private detective Watson on the phone said so.

First of all, it is logically unreasonable.Since? Success, how could it fail?

Bai Ci asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"According to the clues you provided, we went to the underground passage of the British Parliament Building. We squatted for a few days and finally captured the person who planted the bomb." Watson paused, "On this point, we succeeded .”

"But it's not over yet," he said.

It turned out that in the underground passage of the Parliament Building, Watson cooperated with the British London police to arrest the criminal who planted the bomb at that time.When the offender was caught, he was taken back to the police station for interrogation. The main offender didn't say a word, and he used various methods in turn, but he still didn't say a word.

When everyone was about to give up, the master---the offender---smiled sinisterly.He took the initiative to ask: "Police officer, what time is it?"

I learned that it was 47 o'clock in the middle of the night? [-] minutes.The man said with a sinister smile, "At midnight? Five in the morning, there will be a fireworks show near the Capitol. It will be held by us. Everyone is welcome to watch it."

The three words "firework show" touched the nerves of everyone present.When pressed again, the man remained silent.

Watson and the others opened the map provided by Baici before, and saw all ---bomb--bomb locations? connected?, red? "V".Finally, Watson's eyes fell on the point where the two slashes of the "V" meet, which is the location of the British Parliament.

The surrounding police officers were busy and shouting. Someone wanted to contact the guards patrolling near the Capitol.When he raised the mobile phone, the bell hanging in the office rang.

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu daytimer

Then, the office landline phone screamed harshly.

Everyone looked solemn, and finally, it was the police chief who answered the phone.Gradually, his face became serious.

After hanging up the phone, he told everyone present: "There are fireworks at the Palace of Westminster."

The Palace of Westminster, that is, the Houses of Parliament, is located on the west bank of the Thames next to Westminster Bridge.Across the river, a gorgeous fireworks show arrived as scheduled.

Warm colors? Sky flowers, illuminating the eyes of all sleepless people.

After hearing Watson's description, the person who answered the phone, Bai Ci's expression gradually froze, and he said, "Wait a minute."

"The firework show is at twelve o'clock in the morning? At five o'clock in the morning, the police station's bell rings at twelve o'clock?" He quickly grasped the key point.

Watson couldn't open his mouth, and remained silent for a long time, before he said: "At that time, after the sheriff reported the fireworks show at the Capitol, I checked the time on my watch, and it was indeed five minutes past zero. .”

"That is to say, the clock at the police station is off by five minutes." Bai Ci anticipated a terrible possibility, and hurriedly confirmed: "The clock at the police station is on weekdays. Is the time accurate?"

"As confirmed by the memories of everyone in the police station, the time on weekdays is accurate. Only that night, the time was wrong." Watson lowered his voice when he said this.He thought, Mr. Bai, who is far away in Japan, probably also guessed the key point.

Bai Ci gasped, because he guessed the key to the incident.He opened his mouth: "It means that someone moved their hands and feet that night and stood on the side of the bomber's terrorist."

"Mr. John." Bai Ci called Watson's last name seriously, and said the most important point: "That night, whether there was an internal response or sneaked into the police office to adjust the clock time, it was all London police -- incompetent? dereliction of duty."

"Besides, the mastermind behind the scenes did this just to show that he can easily? Infiltrate the official interior? To give you a little? A small hint. Not even a punishment."

After experiencing the infighting among Italian underworld organizations for half a year last year and seeing all kinds of ruthless people, Bai Ci probably understands the thinking of the mastermind behind the scenes.He just showed that he could do it, so as to make Watson and others more afraid of them.

From this point of view, this person is indeed very powerful.

"So? We failed..." Watson said, his voice lowered.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Mr. Bai, forgive me, forgive us."

"Huh?" Bai Cixin said, even if it didn't succeed, it was a matter within the UK and had nothing to do with him as a foreign aid.

"Later, the person behind the scenes anonymously contacted the London police --- to ask who was the person who helped us investigate the bomb case. At that time, because the public opinion situation was really bad, the British officials had no choice but to accept the "contact location" afterwards. I I was sent to hand over, but I didn't see anyone, but the clue was taken by that person."

"...?"

"F**k!" Bai Ci realized that something was wrong with the whole thing, and was quite uneasy: "You guys betrayed my? Information!"

Moreover, the mastermind has not been caught yet!

"At present, there are suspects being investigated...the scope has been narrowed down to a few hundred people..." Watson said with a guilty conscience. "Give it to me." Bai Ci said bluntly.

"This is the official information..." Watson was very embarrassed.

"Huh?" With a sneer, Bai Ci's voice was cold: "Mr. John H. Watson, when you betrayed me, didn't you think about how to protect me? Are you safe?"

"You may? think that I'm a foreign? commoner, who can? be perfunctory. Then let me tell you, you go to the Mountbatten family's? family tree and trace my? birth."

"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot." Bai Ci said plainly, "You may not be an aristocrat, and you are not yet qualified to view the family tree of the Mountbatten family. After all, that is the most noble family in the UK, and there are many things that you can't do. Outsiders know, don’t they?”

Watson pondered for a moment, and promised to reply in two days.

Bai Ci hung up the phone and stared at the phone. The phone went dark, and the dim screen reflected the boy's slightly exotic and deep eyes.

"Now, I have even moved out my biological father's family influence." He murmured.

The other hand touched his eyebrows and eyes. According to his adoptive father Noctua Masamichi, they are not very similar to his mother Kinoshita Hakuyoshi.So, he must be a little more like his father?

"Will they forgive me?" Bai Ci asked himself, looking at the distant sky.

The blue sky is like washing, and I don't know the sorrows in the world.

The phone dinged? One sound.

Was it Watson who sent it first? Or what was agreed before? Remuneration—Bai Ci asked for it? Clues to the Sea of ​​Undead.

There is not much content.What is worthy of Bai Ci's attention? It is those totems.There is a hollow in the circle? Maple leaf.He felt familiar, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that it was the family crest of the Yuequan family.

When he was in high school, Tsukimi Sosuke was very proud of his family, and would wear a kimono with the family crest to go to school during festivals.

After a few years, Bai Ci also had a slight impression.Looking at the totem, he had a flash of inspiration and realized that it might be the family crests of several big families in the magic world.

However, before that, Yuequan Yaji, the female head of the Yuequan family, said that the sea of ​​undead, Liuliyan, and Longevity Lock were related, involving the original inheritance spell of the Kinoshita family.

If what she said is true, how is this sea of ​​undead related to the badges of several big families?

After thinking about it, Bai Ci decided to ask Yuequan Cangjie.The head of the Yuequan family?To be on the safe side, he decided to try to pry open Yuequan Cangjie's mouth first.

After making up his mind, Bai Ci sent text messages to Wutiao Wu's adoptive father and confessed that he went to Yuequan Cangsuke because of the clue of the sea of ​​undead.

Then, there was a high school.

·

Tokyo, Shibuya, a bar.

The lights are feasting, the lights are blurred, and the drunk eyes are also blurred.Yuequan Cangsuke was lying in front of the bar counter, limp into mud.

A woman came to strike up a conversation, and was about to pull her arm to drag him off to play, Yuequan Cangsuke shook his hand, and said angrily: "Get out." The woman turned away to make fun of herself.

Then, another man strikes up a conversation.Yuequan Cangsuke tried his best to prop up his body, stared at the person coldly, and scared the person away.Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he lay down on the counter again, exhausting all his strength to reach the glass of spirits on the stage.

"Hey old brother, you're lucky! You've been struck up all night!" The blond bartender yelled loudly while mixing the drinks.

Yuequan Cangjie blushed, and shook his head indifferently, his hair was usually meticulously combed? His hair fell down his forehead.

The music in the bar is soft, the jazz is attractive, and many people on the dance floor are gently swaying to the music.Even though the environment is elegant, it's different from the kind of bar where people are jumping up and down, this is the place Yuequan Cangsu hates the most on weekdays.

But he didn't care about it today, as long as he took one cup after another until he was very drunk.

Vodka, tequila, gin, whiskey, rum... after drinking all kinds of spirits, Tsukimi Sosuke hated his sobriety.

In the end, he raised his dizzy head, slammed the table suddenly, and cursed loudly: "Kinoshita Baici, what are you doing?! You are simply going too far! Shameless!"

Normally, he was well-bred, but at this moment, Yuequan Cangjie hated his lack of words.Maybe, it's because I can't bear it.

Thinking of this, he put his head in his hands, and he remembered again in his mind? In the principal's office, Wutiao Wubaici and Wujo Wubaici sat facing each other, less than [-] centimeters apart.In this life, the distance between him and Bai Ci was as close as that. It was a year ago that Bai Ci drew his sword and attacked the upper class, blocking him himself.

But intimacy, never before!

Punctured by this fact, Yuequan Cangsuke held his head, and made a sound of laughing or crying for a while.

"Excuse me, sir, do you know Kinoshita Baici?" A male voice reached Yuequan Cangsuke's ears.

Yuequan Sosuke struggled to prop up his head and turned to the source of the sound.

The visitor has blond hair, a well-tailored suit, and a decent smile, as if he is a foreign gentleman.The most eye-catching thing is the pair of red eyes on his handsome face, which are as intoxicating as the swirls of red wine.

"You are?" Yuequan Cangsuke held his head and uttered these words weakly.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce." The blond-haired, red-eyed young man said politely, "My name is William James Moriarty, from England, and a criminal consultant."

"I'm going this time, just for Kinoshita's speech."

·

That day, Bai Ci searched everywhere for Yuequan Cangjie, but to no avail.

Three days later, he received the information on the list of behind-the-scenes masters from Watson.After checking one by one, he scanned the photos of the last ten people, and asked Watson on the phone: "Help me check their recent exit records."

There is no result yet, and his eyes accidentally fell on one of the photos of the suspect.

Blonde hair and red eyes, looks handsome.

Named William James Moriarty.

The author has something to say: (1) The Mountbatten-Windsor family.This article is fictitious, please do not take it seriously.

Finally, I wrote about Moriarty's appearance!Sprinkle flowers!

【Off topic】

"V for Vendetta" comic book screenwriter Alan Moore is my favorite DC series author. "V for Vendetta" and "Watchmen" are his works.

Forget what Alan Moore said in the preface of the two books, he completed his work during the Cold War.I think it might be both. The bleak, deep darkness of "V for Vendetta" really comes from that period.

And his "Watchmen", no doubt, is a great work.First of all, it does not say that it won the "Hugo Award" honor, nor that it was selected as the [-] best English novels, but that the core is anti-war to the extreme, and the representative characters are to the extreme.

Watchmen is a great graphic novel.On the plane, with the help of the skylight from the window and the soft light, I finished reading this novel, which is a rare fantasy trip in this life.The plane is flying on the clouds, and I am traveling in the story.

To this day, I still remember Rorschach and his "never".never give up.

Then, in the middle of nowhere, he roared and let the superhuman Dr. Manhattan do the trick.

Finally, Dr. Manhattan raised his finger, and Rorschach turned into a pool of petal-like blood on the white snow.

The conspiracies in the novel turned out to be more fantastical, but the movie was adapted quite well, using the nuclear bomb crisis during the Cold War instead.

Of course, the fact that all ordinary people are destroyed at the end of the novel is very realistic.As for the movie, maybe it's still fantasy.

The genre of the movie is very good for Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta", and the adaptation is very good. Hugo, I have nothing to say.Although I think the manga looks better and has more depth, but it's just my opinion.

But the graphic novel "Watchmen" is indeed not enough and too wasteful to use a movie that lasts less than three hours.The characters cannot be portrayed, the anti-DC background cannot be portrayed in depth, and various prose novels that will be discussed in the future cannot be inserted like the original work, so that the evaluation is not high.

However, it is precisely because of the Amway of this movie that I will read the original book and fall in love with Alan Moore's talent.

In my opinion, Alan Moore in "Watchmen" raised a question, if people rely on a superhero or a super icon to save the world, then the world is really going to be better?

I don't think so, "Three-Body Problem" has already mentioned it.

The words of the family are purely nagging, please do not take offense XD.

PS. "Watchmen" has a TV series in the past two years, and I haven't watched it yet. Speaking of this, I will make up for the series.

PS. "The Three-Body Problem" is really not easy to shoot. I don't want it to be filmed in foreign countries, but it is easy to... suck in domestic filming.

PS. I haven’t actually watched anything recently, so I’m going to watch Saohua videos to learn how to learn Saohua.I hope that one day I will return from my studies and be able to talk a lot... I hope so.
