Around the three people, some patients and medical staff who happened to be walking in the courtyard gathered around them curiously, with expressions of fear and confusion on their faces.
If it weren't for the fact that two of the three people at the scene were police officers, I'm afraid they would have called the police by now.
"That! Don't pay attention, everyone! Officer Baihe is here! Go back! Go back!"
Although he still didn't understand what happened, Karasuma actively loudly dispersed the onlookers.
"Did you hear that?"
As Karasuma shouted, the boy bent down slightly and said to the "detective":
"Since I entered the Metropolitan Police Department, all the people around me who know me well, including 'you' who drives me, have always called me 'Police Officer Baihe' instead of 'White River Police Department'.
Especially my subordinates in the Metropolitan Police Department, this is never an exception... I'll ask you one last time, who are you?"
Hearing the boy's words, the "criminal policeman" was stunned for a moment, with obvious surprise on his face.
After a long time, "he" sighed in frustration.
"What...is this the original problem?"
"His" voice suddenly changed and became a very distinctly female voice.
This time, not only the boy, but also the little Karasuma beside him was dumbfounded.
A grown man... suddenly said such a delicate female voice? A pervert? ! Or some kind of voice-changing technique? !
But unlike Karasuma, the boy was just stunned for a moment before a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He seemed to have guessed the identity of this "criminal police officer".
"Sure enough, without careful investigation, it is easy for acquaintances to see through my disguise... Well, but this also shows that my disguise is very powerful, doesn't it? After all, even the famous Police Officer Baihe is only known by my name. Flaws to detect authenticity..."
Yes, among all the people the boy knew so far, that was the only one who knew such ghostly disguise and voice-changing skills.
"You are... Black Rose?"
"Wrong! Black Rose is a thing of the past! Now please call me by my real name, Mina Okino... By the way! How long do you want to hold me down on the ground?!"
"Ah, sorry..."
Okino Mina is one of the two important partners the boy met when he went to London more than a year ago.
Codenamed "Black Rose", he is a phantom thief that is rampant in European countries. His characteristics are perfect disguise and voice changing skills that can deceive everyone.
According to her, her true identity is a woman born in Japan, and she learned the art of disguise from an old magician she knew named Kuroba.
By the way, according to Okino Mina, the old magician's magic skills are terrible, but his young son seems to be very talented...
"So you are the Phantom Thief..."
After the little farce ended, the three of them sat on the bench together again.
Karasuma had heard the boy mention the matter in London before, so he naturally knew about Black Rose.
She looked at the "detective face" on Mina Okino's face with great curiosity, and raised and lowered her hand subconsciously, as if she really wanted to touch it.
"It's amazing, it looks exactly like the real face..."
"Hehe! How is it? Pretty impressive, right? Do you want to see my real face, little sister Karasuma?" Okino Mina smiled and poked her face.
"I think!" Xiao Karasuma nodded vigorously.
"Hey, I'm going to take off the mask, do you have to watch it?"
"Uh-huh!"
A wicked smile suddenly appeared on her face. Mina Okino raised her hands and grabbed both sides of her cheeks and suddenly exerted force. With a "hiss", her entire "face" was torn off.
"Whoa!"
This rather horrifying scene scared Karasuma, who couldn't take his eyes away, so much that he jumped up and almost suffered a cardiac arrest.
But the instigator burst into laughter after his plan succeeded.
"Haha! I'm scared! I'm really scared!"
"O-Ms. Okino?! You...!"
"Little sister Karasuma, your screaming voice is so cute~"
This is the first time Karasuma meets Okino Mina.
This person is very bad.
There may be an uncle's soul in her body.
Chapter 704 Are you so anxious to kill me?
"Let me ask first, is my subordinate whom you used as the target of disguise, is he okay?"
The boy asked on the bench in the courtyard.
"Ah, don't worry, that detective guy is sleeping well in the police car."
After surprising Karasuma, Okino Mina carefully took off the disguise mask on her face, revealing her typical East Asian delicate appearance.
"But, Officer Baihe, your subordinate is too innocent. As soon as I came closer, he blushed so much that he even let down his guard.
This won’t work. If you have such low resistance to honey traps, let the detective guy find a girlfriend quickly..."
"Why did you come to Tokyo suddenly?"
Completely ignoring her teasing about her subordinates, the boy asked:
"Is this the target of your operation this time?"
He did not ask Okino Mina how she found him. As a "star policeman" who often appeared in newspapers, this was not a problem at all as long as you were willing.
"Ah, that's not true. I've already washed my hands and stopped being a Phantom Thief."
"Huh? Why?" Xiao Wuwan beside her suddenly asked. She had just wanted to observe closely how this legendary European thief stole things...
"Because I'm getting married, Karasuma-chan.
After pinching Karasuma's face, Okino Mina said with a smile:
"It's a man I met by chance before, a gentle, kind and ordinary good man. Well, I won't go into details...
In short, for a woman who is about to get married, the career of a phantom thief is still too unstable, so I plan to return to Japan and find a place to settle down..."
As she spoke, Mina Okino pulled out a pair of plain glasses and a baseball cap from somewhere and put them on. She also held a thick notebook in her hand and a pen that looked very valuable hung on her chest. She made a thoughtful gesture towards the two of them.
"Now, please call me Miss Okino, the folklorist... How about it? Does it look like you?"
"Just don't commit any crime... Even though we are friends, if you really do something illegal, I will still catch you. At most, I can let you choose the color of the handcuffs." The boy nodded and reminded.
"It's the selfless police officer Shirakawa~"
After saluting the boy, Okino Mina's face showed a narrow smile again, and she looked at Karasuma.
"Speaking of which, I just wanted to ask, what is the relationship between this little sister Karasuma and you? According to my investigation, Officer Shirakawa's fiancée shouldn't look like this, right?"
"No, no! Sister Keiko is in the ward! We are just friends!" Xiao Karasuma waved his hands quickly.
"Oh~friend~"
Mina Okino looked up and down at Kougamaru. When she looked at this mixed-race beauty who also had an impressive figure, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Officer Shirakawa, you must have some special hobby..."
Although she didn't say anything explicitly, the boy knew that she was referring to another friend they met in London - Marie Sera.
Putting other things aside, Mary and Kokarasuma do have some similarities in their body shapes.
"Is there an uncle in your body?" The boy was helpless and raised his hand to press his eyebrows.
"What are you talking about?! I am a funny soul! I am rude!"
After briefly teasing, Okino Mina stood up from the bench and patted her clothes.
"Okay, I've said hello. You guys chat. I'll be busy with the moving business later. I'll tell you the address after I'm settled. If you need any help in the future, just come and find me. You're welcome. Bye~"
Okino Mina's appearance was sudden and brief.
Although she was familiar with the boy, it was not until several years later that Sharon finally became actual friends with this person.
Although this person has a somewhat aging personality, she is very enthusiastic towards her friends. When she needs help, she will seek help from her friends without hesitation, but similarly, when her friends need her, she will also give her help without hesitation.
Especially in the near future, when Sharon made that wrong decision because of the extreme guilt in her heart, it was this person who helped her restore the relationship between her and Bai Heqing.
Ah, by the way, the address of "Old Kuroba" that Okino Mina gave her, but when Sharon found it, she found that the other party had already moved.
It was not until more than ten years later that she unexpectedly met the son of the old Kuroba. Relying on the friendship between Okino Mina and the old Kuroba, she learned the complete Kuroba family disguise technique from him.
"Ms. Hatoyama, your physical condition is not optimistic. Judging from the latest examination report, unless a miracle happens,... you may not survive this winter."
In the ward, Keiko Hatoyama sat in a wheelchair with a thick blanket covering her legs. She looked out the window. Snowflakes kept falling from the sky, and the courtyard outside was already covered in white.
"It's snowing..." she said softly, as if she didn't hear what the doctor just said to her.
"Miss Hatoyama..."
The doctor standing behind her frowned slightly when he saw this, and couldn't help shouting again.
"Not urgent."
With her back to him, Hatoyama Keiko finally responded.
"There's still plenty of time, isn't there? Come and watch the snow with me first. This year's snow is much heavier than in previous years..."
"Miss Hatoyama!"
Finally, the doctor behind him sounded impatient.
"I hope you can seriously consider the suggestions of our medical team! In your current situation, there are no doctors in Japan who can treat you! The only way is to transfer to the United States and call in doctors from the United States and all Europe..."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Being repeatedly interrupted from enjoying the view, Keiko Hatoyama sighed softly. She turned her wheelchair, looked at the anxious doctor behind her, and sighed:
"Are you so eager to kill me?"
"Ms. Hatoyama?! You, what are you going to say?!"
