Although it is just an excuse, this is a real case that happened before.
Normally, there wouldn't be many cases that he would remember so clearly.
After all, he has handled countless cases, and it would be too tiring to remember them one by one.
There was another reason why he remembered the case so clearly.
During those days, he happened to take on another case, so he was not in Inazuma Castle.
Then his superiors started to make trouble and sent out a large group of men to investigate the case. In the end, they returned empty-handed and just arrested a few people who were hiding in the wild to take the blame and hastily closed the case.
He was originally wondering whether his superior had embezzled the money and wanted to conceal the truth.
But after his investigation, he found that his superior was simply stupid, and he was not bold enough to steal the general's goods.
Even if the other party insisted on interfering with the progress of his investigation, it was only because they were afraid that he would discover the truth and affect his career.
After all, in Inazuma, his perfunctory behavior could easily lead to him losing his official position.
"If that's the case, am I delaying Master Tongxin from investigating the case?"
"No problem, no problem. I'm going there this time just to finish the work."
The reason why Shikanoin Heizo brought up this case at this time was actually because he wanted to use this case to indirectly test Bai Luo and find out what exactly happened in Konda Village.
After all, there are some things that cannot be asked very directly.
If the reason is to handle a case, it will be much smoother.
"That's good, but I didn't hear him mention this matter when I lived at Mr. Chaimen's house."
If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to realize Shikanoin Heizo's purpose.
But who is Bai Luo? He is a man who even dares to plot against gods.
Therefore, he could not hide this little trick of Shikanoin Heizo from him at all.
"I doubt whether this was done by someone from Konda Village, because judging from the confessions collected by my colleagues, their answers were too perfect, as if..."
After a quick glance at Bai Luo, he continued.
“It’s like they strung it together in advance.”
Many times, perfection can also become a flaw.
Just like Bai Luo, who performed so perfectly, always gave Shikanoin Heizo a very discordant feeling.
But he didn't dare say it out loud.
"I really don't know. I just stayed there last night."
Shaking his head slightly, Bai Luo said.
He didn't know about others, but Katsumi Shibamoto and his wife would definitely not do such things.
After all, apart from looking extremely ferocious when they were bickering, the old couple walked unsteadily at other times, which was even worse than the old cold legs of the Qiuqiu Shaman. It was hard to see how they could defeat the soldiers accompanying the shogunate.
However... ... a small detail in his words caught the attention of Shikanoin Heizo.
Stayed there last night.
Before Bai Luo said this, he could still assume that Bai Luo might have come from an outlying island.
But once he said this, those assumptions were blown away.
But if he really stayed in Konda Village for a night, why was he not affected
Is it the murderer
If it were someone else, Heizo Kanoin would have labeled the other person as the murderer long ago.
But Bai Luo is different.
He is able to face General Thunder head-on, so he might have some special means to protect himself.
"Didn't you notice anything unusual last night? Like strange noises or something?"
Shikanoin Heizo asked tentatively.
The whole Inazuma City is now discussing that strange sound.
Given the wide range of its spread, perhaps the entire residents of Ming Shen Island had heard it.
"Strange noises? No?"
Bai Luo said with a slightly confused expression on his face.
He didn't lie, he really didn't hear any strange sounds.
Could it be that... ...something happened in the outside world while he was using the mask to communicate with Hanasari
Or did he trigger some strange phenomenon in heaven and earth when he used the masks to reconstruct the faces of the five people
"... ..."
Watching Bai Luo's expression change from confusion to doubt, and then from doubt to confusion again, Shikanoin Heizo's brain was also working rapidly.
He wanted to judge how real the other person's expressions were.
But both intuition and years of experience in handling cases gave the same answer.
He didn't lie.
"Mr. Bai, are you really not aware of anything? This is very important to me, please be sure to tell me the truth."
After the previous preparation, he now behaved more and more like a detective who wanted to solve a case, so even if he asked it directly like this, there wouldn't be much sense of incongruity.
"If it is an anomaly, then it really exists."
Looking at Shikanoin Heizo's face full of "urgency", Bai Luo first smiled secretly, and then showed a slightly uncertain expression.
How could he not see what the other party wanted to do? But in terms of acting, he has never lost to anyone.
"Please tell me the truth."
After a slight pause, Shikanoin Heizo himself did not expect that he seemed to have gained something from just a simple question.
He took out the notebook he carried with him and waited quietly for Bai Luo's description.
Bai Luo didn't say anything, but took out a large and plump sunset fruit from the lining of his clothes.
As soon as Bai Luo took it out, Shikanoin Heizo's eyes widened.
“It smells so good.”
Subconsciously twitching his nose, he gave his own evaluation unconsciously.
It's not that he hasn't eaten sunset fruit when he was out on a case.
But the one that Bai Luo took out was the most fragrant and tempting one he had ever seen since he was a child.
At that moment, he even felt that the barbecue in his hand was no longer tempting.
"This sunset fruit is what I call an anomaly."
Bai Luo exerted a little force in his hand and threw it to Shikanoin Heizo on the opposite side, and said without hiding anything.
Chapter 895 Why don’t you listen to advice
"Sunset fruit?"
Gulping and swallowing, Heizo Shikanoin suppressed the desire to eat it and looked at Bai Luo opposite him.
This sunset fruit seems to have some kind of magic. When its fragrance enters people's nostrils, it is like a small hand pinching people's hearts.
Not only did it make his mouth secrete a lot of saliva, but it also made him eager to take a bite.
"I found these at Mr. Chaimen's house. After eating them... I lost consciousness and slept until dawn. Out of curiosity, I brought them out to study what species they were."
Bai Luo told the other party the characteristics of the sunset fruit without reservation, as if he was afraid that the other party would eat it.
"Is there such an effect? But how do you see it... It's just sunset fruit, right?"
He tossed the fruit in his hand up and down, and checked it with the wind in his hand.
According to Feng's feedback, this sunset fruit had nothing unusual about it except that it was more fragrant and juicier than ordinary sunset fruits.
Not only that, it also has no toxins on its surface.
There was no damage anywhere.
No matter how you look at it, it's a genuine sunset fruit.
"That's why I thought it was strange. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought it out."
Bai Luo did not deliberately guide the other party to eat the sunset fruit.
Because he knew very well that in this situation it was better to let the other party make their own decision.
If you act too proactively, it will make the other party alert.
He was very good at dealing with such smart people.
"You mean... after eating this fruit, you will lose consciousness immediately? Right?"
Gently stroking his chin, which had not yet grown a beard, Shikanoin Heizo once again paused for a moment to ponder the words in Bai Luo's speech.
Loss of consciousness.
This is the same situation as the creature nearby that fell asleep due to the strange noise.
"I couldn't say I ate it all. I just took a bite and when I woke up I was already in bed."
Extending a finger, Bai Luo deliberately emphasized the word "Yikou".
He just wanted to convey one thing to Shikanoin Heizo: if this thing bites you, something bad will happen.
However, Shikanoin Heizo, who was sitting opposite him, didn't think so.
He felt that rather than saying that there was something wrong with the Sunset Fruit, it would be more accurate to say that Bai Luo was the first person to be struck by that strange sound.
It was just that he happened to eat the sunset fruit at that time, so he misjudged that the sunset fruit was the culprit.
That being said, Bai Luo is most likely the first person to be impacted.
No... ... In other words, he was not only the first person to be hit, but also the main person to be hit.
Apart from him who dared to cause chaos in the castle tower and was able to escape unscathed from General Raiden's unexpected sword strike, Heizo Kanoin found it hard to imagine who else in the entire Konda Village deserved to be treated like this.
It seems that it was a correct decision to set my goal on Konda Village.
He had already found the direct victim of this incident ahead of those mysterious people.
Now that the victim has been found, it proves that he is not far from the truth.
After confirming that Bai Luo was the "victim", Shikanoin Heizo lost his previous restraint and completely forgot that the victim himself was also a "super criminal".
And he is also an international super criminal.
"I wonder who Mr. Bai has offended in Inazuma recently?" Shikanoin Heizo first asked this question professionally. Perhaps realizing that it was a bit impolite to ask this question, he explained again: "Oh... I have no other purpose, I just think that someone may want to harm you."
"Speaking of offended people... it seems like there are quite a few."
Compared to before, Bai Luo now looks much calmer.
Anyway, the fruit has been handed over to the other party, which means that half of the success has been achieved, so he naturally won't be in a hurry.
"Can you tell me who they are? As a detective, I think I can help you."
Flipping through the notes in his hand and taking out the feather pen he carried with him, Shikanoin Heizo asked again.
He wanted to find the person who tried to harm Bai Luo in this way.
In this way, the matter was indirectly resolved.
"Let me think..."
With his hands folded across his chest, Bai Luo recalled carefully.
"There are Yaeko, Raiden Shogun... If we limit ourselves to Inazuma, then these two are the only ones worth noting."
"... ..."
Looking at the other party's confident look, Shikanoin Heizo almost broke the feather pen in his hand.
Although the other party was telling the truth, he always felt something was strange, especially the sentence that it was only for Inazuma.
