"Faced with Dahao's doubts, Walter showed a rare look of embarrassment, hesitating: "How should I explain it... Because of his appearance..."

Chapter 165 Conan: Fisherman? Or should we just read out my ID number?

New Eridu, Outer Ring—

"What's wrong with appearance? I think Luosha looks good!" Thinking back to Luosha's almost impeccable face, Caesar couldn't understand why "appearance" itself could become the target of Mr. Walter's suspicion.

Luosha was even more handsome than the male protagonists in those chick flicks she had secretly watched. He didn't need to pose deliberately, nor did he need to use special angles like in movie cameras to highlight his features. Just standing there, the wind blowing his white clothes, standing in the sun with a faint smile, he was a killer that no one could match.

Compared to him, those movie stars are just vulgar.

"Foolish Caesar, Mr. Walter certainly wouldn't suspect this man simply because of his appearance." Lucy chuckled, "Don't you see? This Rakshasa clearly has a connection with Mr. Walter. Although I don't know what it is at the moment...but I can be sure that this Rakshasa must be harboring some evil intentions!"

"Hmm... Really?"

Although Lucy's judgments are mostly correct, this time Caesar is willing to trust his intuition!

Although words can deceive people, the gentleness and consideration shown by Luosha are definitely more convincing than words!

"Uncle Yang! I thought you were going to tell me some earth-shattering secret, but it turns out you were judging people by appearances. Uncle Yang, judging people by appearances is not a good thing." San Yue Qi pretended to be an experienced person, but it was Tian Gang who started to persuade Uncle Yang.

"Xing: "I think he's quite handsome..."

"I'm sorry, what I mean is... well, it's hard to explain. I can only say that my 'intuition' tells me that there might be something wrong with this Mr. Luosha..." Walter wanted to change his words to something more acceptable, but seeing Xing and Sanyueqi's confused expressions, he gave up."

"I'm sorry, that's just my speculation."

"It's okay. Intuition is also a crucial part of the Land and Construction Bureau's investigations. You say anyone with that face is necessarily a bad guy, fine. I accept that. But... I'm a deacon after all. I can't use that as an excuse to bother the person involved..." Dahao seemed a little embarrassed.

"If you're dismissed from your job because of a complaint, it'll leave a stain on your resume, and it'll be difficult to make a comeback for hundreds of years," Jingyan explained thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's the point... No! What are you talking about... Anyway, if you want to investigate the case, I can make an exception and grant you access to the Four Directions Viewing Mirror."

"The Four-Sided Mirror contained several images of Rakshasa. After rearranging the stars, Sanyueqi was surprised to find that one of the images, depicting two dark figures stalking a little girl, looked remarkably familiar. 'Ah? This? Isn't this the scene from 'The Fisherman's Case'?"

"Xing looked confused: "What plot are you talking about?"

"'The Fisherman's Case,' that detective novel. There's a scene in it that's exactly like this video."

"March Seven patiently explained to Mr. Walter, 'It's the story of the Fisherman's origins. He was originally an alchemist at the Danding Division, but later got in trouble with a mysterious tea party. Two men in black at the party took advantage of his solitary time and drugged him."

"This poison had the same effect as a Vajra's transformation, reverting the Fisherman back to youth and transforming him into a child. From then on, the young Fisherman would investigate the Tea Party and solve various mysteries."

Detective Conan——

Ai Haibara covered her mouth with a smile and glanced at Conan beside her: "By the way, this fisherman is not also staying at his childhood sweetheart's house? And he has a watch-shaped tranquilizer gun?"

"How could such a coincidence happen?" Conan had cold sweat on his forehead. When March Seventh talked about the story of the Fisherman, he was simply reciting it from his past experience.

The family members are sweating profusely...

"Well, I think there's a possibility." Huiyuan Ai rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, "The technology of the Immortal Ship is far superior to that of Earth. Perhaps they have been observing us from a place we can't detect? Although we usually can't feel it, in fact, everyone is being monitored every day..."

Huibara Ai tilted her head and smiled softly: "Then... Kudo, you are the key person to be tested?"

"Forget about this kind of third-rate science fiction setting." Conan forced a smile, "It should be... uh, just a coincidence, right?"

""Why is a tea party so fierce..." Xing complained helplessly."

Walter nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it seems that their tea might be similar to Jizi's coffee..."

"The Tea Party is just a code name. Would a bad guy call himself a bad guy club? They should have a less scary name, right?"

Walter pondered for a moment, "So, what Xiao Sanyue is saying is that the two men in black are members of the tea party, and that the little girl is... the rejuvenated Rakshasa?"

Sanyueqi frowned and lowered his voice seriously, "Maybe this is a copycat crime committed by a fanatical fan of 'The Fisherman's Case.' After being shrunk, Luosha followed these two people away... The case is getting more and more terrifying. Maybe it's a kidnapping!"

Teyvat, Rice Wife——

"Hmm... I've figured it out. If we let Sanyue-chan be the detective, I'm afraid half of the Inazuma people will be arrested and thrown into the Tenryo Bugyo prison."

"However, she reminds me of Paimon. Last time, Paimon read Fontaine's mystery novel and claimed that he wanted to solve the case with me."

Inside the Tenryo Bugyo, Shikanoin Heizo was leisurely drinking tea with Kujo Sara. Listening to Sangetsuchi's "witty and interesting" reasoning, he almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Didn't you claim that intuition is the most important factor in solving crimes?" Kujo Sara said calmly, "Then, in your opinion, the truth behind Rakshasa is..."

"Hey, hey, I'm not a god. How can I possibly see the truth through the light curtain? No, no... This is something even a god can't do, right?"

Shikanoin Heizo shook his head. "In short, that little girl and Rakshasa have nothing to do with each other, let alone the same person. Not to mention the hair color, the gender alone doesn't match at all."

"There are too few clues right now. If I could get more footage, maybe I could give it a try."

"Everyone, wait a moment... I just realized this kid is Yinshu, the shop owner of Sanyu Bookstore." Jingyan looked at him carefully for a long time before realizing what was happening.

"Walter retrieved nearby video footage, but couldn't find anything valuable. So, he decided to take the two of them to collect evidence on the ground and see if the hidden book had any more clues."

"The hidden book is near the bookstore. After I explained the whole story, she did have some recollection of the video."

"She saw the two men in black and a blond barbarian in an open field. Later, she went home to study, and the two men in black simply left together. As for the blond barbarian... she was so focused on her studies that she didn't really observe him closely."

"However, he eventually came to the bookstore, flipped through a few books, and gave one to Yinshu. It was a paper book... and it was the 'Fisherman's Case' that Sanyue often mentioned!"

Chapter 166 Now, I am Rakshasa~

"Uncle Yang, you're truly foresighted. Luosha is such a bad guy! How could someone so evil exist... He tore up such a good book like 'Fisherman's Case' without even saying anything. It's so infuriating," March Seventh raged.

"March, calm down for a moment. I don't think Rakshasa is... that naive."

Walter, the only one still calmly analyzing the situation, succinctly pointed out the core issue: "The Land and Scale Division's initial concern is whether anyone has brought dangerous goods into Luofu. Dahao may not be clear about what the dangerous goods are, but we all know that they are star cores."

"Walter's guess is simple: Luosha has an insider in the Immortal Boat, and tearing up the book is his way of communicating with that insider."

"But this is just his personal opinion and cannot be verified. Just when the clues were once again interrupted, Jingyan suddenly sent a message, saying that there was new progress in the image restoration."

"The footage shows that the Rakshasa left the clearing an hour after entering. This raises a new question: What on earth was the Rakshasa doing in such a small clearing that would take two hours?"

"Since there's no further footage, no one knows what Luosha is doing in there. The more we investigate, the more suspicious it becomes."

"Our Uncle Yang never shows his emotions on his face, but I feel like he's a little... uneasy," Sanyueqi whispered into Xing's ear.

Xing scratched his head, confused by Walter's unusual attitude: "I guess he has a deep grudge against someone who looks like this..."

Honkai Impact 3rd

"If Xinghe Sanyue knew anything about him, they would know that no matter how vigilant they are, they are justified."

Walter pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. For some reason, seeing Luosha's sneaky look now, he felt a little relieved.

Although Ji Zi said that Luosha's counterpart might indeed be a good person, he believed that Luosha's "good intentions" were a "disguise" that he had to carry out in order to achieve some purpose. Now that he had to remove this exquisite disguise... he could finally no longer hide!

"Judging from the way this guy is acting, those two men in black must be his subordinates, no doubt about it... The thing in the coffin is the star core."

"In order to avoid leaving any evidence, I'm afraid he secretly dealt with those two people afterwards?"

Although Walter didn't know Luosha, he knew Otto very well. This man always did things by any means necessary and would never give anyone a "handle" to hold over him.

"Since he's related to the Star Core, he must be connected to the Great Lord of Extinction. Could it be that the reason he stayed in the clearing for so long was to discuss the specific plan to destroy Luofu with the illusory Tingyun?"

"...No, it shouldn't be that simple. That guy's plan is definitely not so easy to guess." Walter took a deep breath. Although he could roughly guess that Luosha had bad intentions, if he wanted to get the whole plan from this guy, he might have to let General Jingyuan take action personally.

Compared to Kafka, he is the one who deserves to use the Qiongguan Formation the most...

"In order to find out what Rakshasa did during that hour, Sanyue decided to put the clues together and start reasoning in public!"

"The scene changed, and Rakshasa appeared in front of an open space."

(“Okay, now I’m going to adopt the fisherman’s reasoning and put myself in the villain’s shoes.”)

"Rakshasa put her hands on her hips and raised her chin proudly: "Now, I am Rakshasa~"

"Cough cough cough...!"

In an office at the Tianming headquarters, Theresa, who was drinking water, almost spit it out and started coughing violently.

Seeing this, Susanna was immediately in a panic: "Lady Theresa, what's wrong with you? Do you want to get your automatic ventilator?"

"No need for now." Theresa took a deep breath and it took her a long time to recover from the shock.

This voice that is 30% playful, 70% complacent, and 90% adorable is...Grandpa?!

Wait... is this something she can hear?!

Also, is this reasonable?!

...On second thought, it made sense. After all, the person on the screen who looked almost identical to Grandpa was his counterpart, not the real person. But even so, using Grandpa's voice to produce such a lovely sound... gave Theresa a special sense of satisfaction.

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen a playful and cute version of Grandpa yet? ?

After accepting the unexpected super-expansion on the screen, Theresa's lips began to gradually curl into a smile. It seems that a grandfather with this kind of personality... is not bad?

(“Uncle Yang, I’m scared…” Xing trembled.)

("Don't bother me. I'm thinking fast." March Seventh held his chin up, and suddenly thought of something, "Oh, right, I almost forgot about this torn title page... He took this paper away, so it must be very useful...")

("Next... Uncle Yang, let me take a look at the scene map. Hmm... He must have gone through the door in front. It's impossible for him to wander around in such a small place for two hours.")

(“But…” Walter questioned, “Miss Jingyan also said that the door is military property and is always locked.”)

("Mr. Luosha must have a way to unlock it. He can't even open a door, and he's still thinking about smuggling the star core?")

The screen returned to color. Luosha raised her head proudly, her adorable voice ending in a voice that seemed to reach the heavens. "Hmph, you think you can stop me with a door lock of this caliber?"

(Xing holds her forehead: "...I really can't relate to you like that.")

(March Seven laughed sheepishly, "Hehe, I'm used to it. Okay, from now on, just imagine what Luosha's face would say. I won't get involved.")

(Walter: "Even if Rakshasa could unlock the door, what would his purpose be in getting in?")

(March Seven was full of confidence, having a plan in mind: "The bad guys who exchanged the star core with him are hiding here. He came here to meet them.")

(Walter frowned, feeling that things were not that simple: "Thinking about it, it doesn't make sense, right? How could they meet in such a strategic location?")

(“Ah…this…” Sanyueqi’s mind raced, “This is because we usually abide by the law, so it’s hard for us to understand the logic of the bad guys.”)

(Walter pondered: "...The more dangerous the place, the safer it is, right?")

(Rakshasa continued forward, and when he passed through a door, Walter suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute, this road is too smooth.")

Luosha's tone suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "What do you mean? Isn't it good enough to be smooth?"

Chapter 167 Jizi: Walter, I didn’t expect you to be so polite

"This... could it be that he is..."

"No, that's not right... Impossible, huh..."

When his brain reacted, Walter’s chest rose and fell rapidly, and his tense muscles gradually relaxed after a while.

...This is Xiao Sanyue, not Luosha himself.

He had to admit he was genuinely frightened. The moment Luosha spoke, he actually thought he was talking to him. The oppressive and suffocating feeling he felt at that moment reminded him of his time against Otto.

As soon as Luosha opened his mouth, the taste of Otto was pure.

The evening breeze brought a chill, and Walter realized belatedly that with just one sentence from Luosha, the clothes he had just changed were soaked in cold sweat again.

-

(“Ahem…is everything going well?” Sanyueqi cleared his throat.)

(Walter: "We're trying to explain what the Rakshasa did in two hours, but it wouldn't take two hours to circle this place twenty times.")

(March Seven suddenly realized: "Indeed... Then his journey might be far more dangerous than I imagined. Come on, let's recreate the scene.")

"Back at the beginning, Rakshasa begins facing a goldfish monster."

"The monster actually spoke in human language: 'Ahhh! You're so delicate, yet you dare to trespass here? Today is your end!'"

"Although Walter didn't know why the monster that Sanyue imagined could speak, Rakshasa fought the monster anyway."

"The imaginary Luosha's swordsmanship was exceptional, and he dispatched them in no time. But after the fight, he brushed the dust off his white robe and spat with a hint of disgust: "Tsk, how formidable! Where did all these enemies come from on this immortal ship Luofu?"

(Xing: "March 7th, please explain.")

(“Uh…” Sanyueqi felt like a frog was stuffed in his mouth, and he immediately started to stammer: “This is because… because… because…”)

(Walter sighed: "...March, we can wait when you want to tell the story. It is not necessary to arrange a battle.")

"Walter didn't believe there were any dangerous areas in Luofu where black market buyers and dangerous elements could meet before Jianmu grew. But since it's hard to imagine what specific difficulties he encountered, let's assume he encountered many monsters here."

("Hmm... that makes sense, sort of." Walter nodded.)
