Chapter 98 Take your surname and take my name
"In three days, East Valley will hold a large-scale comic exhibition that is held once every ten years. It is expected that 500,000 people will attend. According to our intelligence, the leading pickpocket groups across the country have set their sights on this opportunity."
"The top pickpocket group in Osaka is commonly known as the 'Sunflower' group; the pickpocket group in the Tokai region is commonly known as the 'Fishing Group'; the pickpocket group that specializes in stealing from women is commonly known as the 'Wandering Female Ninja'."
The people in the photos are all former veterans who have now retired.
Now that it has reappeared, it must have some purpose.
"In addition, we have also received news that 'Flying Eagle Hidden Thorn' will also appear in this comic exhibition."
Flying Eagle Hidden Assassin, skilled in using the Flying Eagle Blade as a weapon.
The processed blade is clamped between the fingers, and the victim's pocket is cut open in an instant, allowing the money inside to fall out, and then the money is stolen.
His blades never hurt anyone, and he retired five years ago.
"So, your newspaper's mission this time is to find out why these people are 'returning to society'?"
Qinghai Chuantang looked at the other party with an unusually speechless expression.
Mai Kirishima nodded, but then shook her head.
He said somewhat embarrassedly: "Actually, my main purpose is to see the big scene."
"And I don't know if that man will show up in this operation."
The man she was talking about was "Raven", who had never been caught and did not even leave a trace at the scene.
Of course, it cannot be said that there are no traces at all.
Every time he finished stealing, a special fragrance would be left in the room.
Qinghai Chuantang paused for a moment.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip of the black tea, and then added a few more spoonfuls of milk.
"Raven, how could it appear?"
Not a question, but an affirmation.
"However," Qinghai Chuantang continued, "Hidden Assassin is a leader in the pickpocket world, and he may have some connection with Raven. So, it is hard to say whether Raven will appear."
"The only thing that is certain is that even if Raven shows up, he won't be involved in their actions."
However, Mai Kirishima showed an expression of disbelief.
"Xiao Tangtang, you are not Raven himself, how do you know what he is thinking?"
Qinghai Chuantang didn't say anything.
After a while, he slowly said, "Can you send me all the information about Raven from your newspaper?"
"Eh?"
Mai Kirishima blinked, but finally agreed to the other party's request.
I was just a little confused, "But what do you need those for? Are you planning to change your career to catch thieves?"
"Catching thieves is the duty of Investigation Section 3. I just happened to want to learn more about that legendary figure."
In a sense, she and Raven are master and apprentice.
But at that time, the raven did not appear, and the "raven" she knew was not called "raven" at that time.
But he has always been called "Uncle Du".
99% of burglaries are for money.
However, there are also cases where people steal for some special reasons.
Based on Qinghai Chuantang's understanding of him, it would not be the former.
"Xiao Tangtang, Xiao Tangtang?"
"Qinghai River!"
After the other party called out several times, Qinghai Chuantang finally regained consciousness.
"Really? Why did you suddenly become distracted? Could it be that you have a fever?"
Kirishima Mai said this, reaching out her hand to touch her forehead, then comparing it with her own, and found no difference.
"I'm fine. Just, thinking about something."
"Okay, being happy is the most important thing. Don't think too much. We'll see you in three days. Remember to bring that handsome blond boy along."
Qinghai Chuantang was stunned and looked up at her.
"Although I don't discriminate. But, are you sure?"
"what?"
Kirishima Mai put on a wicked smile, "I just think he looks innocent, he will definitely be a target for pickpockets. If I can watch the performance up close, it will be worth my life."
Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but laugh, "Then your wish is really simple."
Three days later——
Because there were so many people going there, the surrounding roads were congested like sausages.
Fortunately, they were smart and chose to take the tram.
"Ki-Kijima?"
Although it's not a big deal to wear all your gear to attend a comic convention.
But I almost couldn’t recognize Mai Kirishima because she was wearing Tiga costume.
Mai Kirishima didn't say anything, but just nodded as a response.
"Ms. Mai, isn't she a girl? Why is she..."
Now it looks like a flat land?
Qinghai Chuantang instantly understood what the other party meant, and said in surprise: "When did I say that she is a real woman?"
Kirishima Mai's name is fake. The inspiration comes from what Qinghai Chuantang once said: People live for Senior Mai.
Gender is naturally fake too.
So, she is actually him?
Toru Amuro's feelings at this moment were very complicated.
I even regretted accepting the other party's invitation at that time.
People on the tram are like sardines in a can, and are the most ideal place for pickpockets.
"His eyes are wandering, and he lowers his eyes at an angle of 10 degrees. That person has already locked onto his prey and is ready to act." Qinghai Chuantang said in a low voice.
A gangster has the look of a gangster, a thief has the look of a thief, and a pickpocket has the look of a pickpocket.
Pickpockets who look around for their targets are all amateurs.
A real pickpocket only has a split second to lock onto his target.
The more skilled the pickpocket, the more detailed his eyes are and the smaller the angles.
The man pretended to stagger, then took the wallet of the person next to him without anyone noticing.
He walked forward, moved a distance, and then grabbed the pull ring with both hands.
At this time, the wallet in his hand had disappeared.
"This is a large-scale operation, and the people from Section 3 should have been prepared. Unfortunately, pickpockets can only be caught in the act. If they fail this time, they can only wait for the next strike."
And the man just now was the Eagle Hidden Assassin.
The Eagle Hidden Assassin is already the strongest among the strong. If he has the help of a gang, it would be even more difficult to catch him in the act.
“That’s nine already.”
The other party acted too quickly, and the carriage was already crowded, so it was impossible to know who his accomplices were.
At this time, Qinghai Chuantang saw a man suddenly appear behind a girl in maid clothes.
He was quietly reaching out and putting the other person's wallet into his pocket.
She walked over quietly and grabbed the other person's left hand.
He said softly, "Don't move. Things that are not yours should be returned to their original owners."
The man tried to struggle, but found that the other person was stronger than him.
He slid the small utility knife from his sleeve into his palm and slid the blade out.
Taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, he scratched the opponent's left hand, leaving a bloody mark.
This sudden situation caused the people around to scatter immediately.
In addition to the man, there were two other people dressed similarly, each holding a utility knife in their hands.
There are differences between pickpockets.
Only this kind of low-level pickpocket would become angry and humiliated after his crime is exposed.
Strong people all have self-respect, and this is especially true for first-class pickpockets.
"What are you doing, you bastards!"
At this time, Tiga appeared and kicked one of the men in black, forcing the other party to retreat a distance.
As long as there is light in one's heart, everyone can be Tiga.
Everyone can be light.
In the end, with the cooperation of Tiga and several police officers from the Third Investigation Section, they successfully subdued the three men in black and handcuffed them.
Qinghai Chuantang silently put a handkerchief on the back of his hand. When he looked up inadvertently, he saw a man wearing sunglasses in the car in front of him, and he seemed to smile.
She looked up at the luggage rack above, where there were three daggers.
Raven, appeared
"Tang, is your hand okay?" He looked nervous.
Qinghai Chuantang finally came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."
As one of the victims was injured, the case was transferred to the Investigation Division for handling.
The reason why veterans such as Eagle and Hidden Assassin returned to the arena was that a friend had a conflict with a group of armed pickpockets.
The group became enraged and stabbed him, and he died shortly afterwards.
In order to get that group of people arrested, they deliberately showed up and then spread the news.
"Okay, the front page has been decided. I should also go to the comic convention."
After saying that, Mai Kirishima struck the classic Space Ray pose.
"Wow! It's Digaya!"
"Great! Let's go take a picture with him!"
As more and more people gathered around, Qing Haichuantang and Amuro Toru had already retreated and found a place with relatively few pedestrians.
When Toru Amuro came to the vending machine and was about to buy two cans of coffee, he unexpectedly discovered that his wallet was missing.
After thinking carefully and confirming that I had brought my wallet with me when I went out, I searched my clothes inside and out, but could not find any trace of the wallet.
"The Japanese police were successfully picked on by a pickpocket"
Qinghai Chuantang leaned close to his ear and blew a breath maliciously.
"Here's your wallet, I'll give it back to you."
She didn't joke any more, just shook the wallet in her hand and handed it back to the other person.
“You are the pickpocket.”
As Amuro Toru said this, he took out a few coins from his wallet and stuffed them into the coin slot.
Qinghai Chuantang cried out that it was wronged.
"God, please be honest with me. If I really stole your wallet, I would no longer be called 'Qinghai Chuantang'."
"What's that called?"
Toru Amuro handed her the coffee and looked at her with interest.
Obviously, she was 100% sure and she was ready to make excuses.
Qinghai Chuantang smiled “hehe”, and his smile was particularly bright.
"How about taking your last name?"
Just as Toru Amuro was about to say "OK", Qinghai Chuantang immediately shook his head, rejecting his previous idea.
I whispered to myself, "I always feel that my name will become unpleasant after changing my surname. Why don't I choose a nice surname first?"
Before he could finish his words, Toru Amuro grabbed his face.
Fortunately, it was just a slight one.
"I don't think I heard it clearly just now?"
His tone was gentle, and even the smile on his face made people feel gentle.
But there was a strong threat in the words he said.
Qinghai Chuantang laughed awkwardly and said flatteringly: "Actually, I think it sounds really nice, really."
But in my heart I thought: Qinghai Chuantang sounds better after all.
Typical case of saying one thing and thinking another.
Toru Amuro naturally noticed it, but didn't say much. He just smiled helplessly.
"When the coffee is cold, it tastes bad."
Pay tribute to the classics.
As long as there is light in your heart, everyone can be Tiga.
Everyone can be light.
Just like the sun shining through the night, the dawn quietly passes through the horizon. I didn't expect that after so many years, I still remember the lyrics (covering my face)
