Chapter 428 Friendly Stranger
Toru Amuro stared at Jundu closely, his deep eyes seemed to be spitting fire: This is an important task assigned by the organization, and as a member, you have the obligation to help!
Facing Toru Amuro's gaze, Cointreau showed no sign of retreating. He raised his eyebrows provocatively: So what! If I hadn't informed you in time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have known how to get in touch with the jewelry that was about to be sent to the exhibition in advance!
"......" Amuro Toru was speechless.
Jundu was right. If he hadn't told him about today's opportunity, if he wanted to find a chance to touch the gems, he would have to ask Vermouth for help and use her superb disguise skills to disguise himself and sneak into the Jade Pavilion.
This method was fine before, but because of Granlivet's promotion these past two days, Vermouth was in a bad mood. If I wanted to ask her for help, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort and effort.
So, Cointreau's move can indeed be said to have helped him a lot. However, even so, Amuro Toru still has no good feelings towards Cointreau, and it can even be said that the more he looks at him, the more unhappy he feels.
Thinking back to the beginning, Cointreau not only threatened him, but also sent people to secretly monitor his every move. Although these things have happened for a while, every time he thinks back on them, Amuro Toru feels a lot of anger in his heart that he has nowhere to vent.
In recent days, a series of actions around "Pandora" have made Amuro Toru even more annoyed. As an undercover agent deep in the enemy camp, he is busy with the affairs of the organization all day long, and he hardly has a moment to breathe. What's more, when Amuro Toru wants to target the hateful Akai Shuichi, he even needs to squeeze out time during work to arrange for the public security personnel to carry out the relevant plan!
But Cointreau, on the other hand, always looked relaxed and at ease. You know, Gin had given everyone a task, but only Cointreau could spare a lot of free time to brazenly break into his workplace to harass him.
And the most hateful thing is that every time Cointreau came to see his sister under the pretext of looking for him, he always had a seemingly reasonable excuse and pretext, so that even if Amuro Toru was extremely angry, he had no way to report it to Gin. Amuro Toru could only grit his teeth secretly, but he could do nothing about the other party.
Just as Toru Amuro and Shiro Morikawa were staring at each other silently without saying a word, Masumi Sera, who was standing beside them, seemed to have suddenly thought of some interesting questions. She looked up and down at Shiro Morikawa with her curious eyes, and then spoke again to break the silence:
"So that's how it is! But, Mr. Morikawa, you didn't even refute what I said about you having a better impression of Xia Xi. So, could you please explain to us the reason? Could it be that..." As she spoke, Sera Masumi blinked jokingly, with an expression on her face as if she was waiting for a good show.
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Morikawa Bai. There were all kinds of emotions and meanings in those eyes.
Conan stared at Morikawa Shiro with inquiring eyes. It was true that Jundu, a member of the organization who seemed more mysterious than Vermouth, paid too much attention to Sister Xia Xi. And Amuro Toru, who was standing aside, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if he was enjoying the show.
At this time, only two girls, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, were relatively straightforward. They stood side by side, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement, staring at Morikawa Shiro without blinking, their eyes flashing with gossip. Especially Sonoko, she folded her hands in front of her chest, leaned forward, and looked at Morikawa Shiro with expectation, as if she would hear a surprising answer in the next second.
Seeing all the eyes of the people in front of him converge on him, even Xia Xi was looking at him expectantly, Morikawa Shiro rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "I just feel a little familiar when I see Xia Xi. Aren't there always some people in this world who just happen to catch the eye of others?" Then, Morikawa Shiro looked at Sera Masumi who asked the question, "For example, Miss Sera, maybe you will also feel very familiar when you see some strangers."
When he said this, Morikawa Shiro's eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Sera Masumi who was standing nearby and listening curiously. He smiled at Sera Masumi and continued, "Just like you, Miss Sera, maybe one day you will suddenly meet a complete stranger and feel a special intimacy with him! Who can say for sure about such things?"
After hearing what Morikawa Bai said, a man with fanny hair subconsciously flashed through Sera Masumi's mind.
Speaking of strangers who feel familiar, there is indeed one. And Sera Masumi not only feels familiar, but also feels that the other person is somewhat familiar. But why? She has obviously never seen the other person before, is it really just a coincidence?
Next, everyone chatted for a few more words before waiting for Ganyu, who was busy with work, to come and lead them to the collection room where the gems were placed.
"Everyone, I'm sorry. The business of Qun Yu Pavilion has been expanding recently, so I've been a little busy and neglected you all." Gan Yu explained to everyone with an apologetic look why he was a little late.
Amuro Toru's eyes were subtle when he heard this: Business expansion... Was it because of Spider's previous disruption that Ningguang and the others took the opportunity to retaliate and seize a lot of market share? Or were they recently busy planning a "zoo" that the other party might have at the exhibition?
Conan Half Moon Eyes: Yes, business expansion... Oh, Miss Ningguang’s methods are really powerful. The strength of the Teyvat organization has reached a new level.
Then, Ganyu introduced to everyone: "Mr. Zhongli has already sent his gems to the Qun Yu Pavilion in advance and handed them over to Miss Ningguang for safekeeping. They are currently all placed in the collection room. Therefore, everyone can appreciate them up close during this visit. It's just that there is no specially arranged lighting in the collection room, so it may not be possible to appreciate the true light of the gems."
