Chapter 422 Gu Chen is not a liar
Looking at the listless Xiao Gong, Shikanoin Heizo didn't know what to say. He didn't expect things to develop in this direction.
Paimon, who had been watching the fun nearby, was also stunned, but at the same time felt that what Kujo Sara said made sense.
Gu Chen's expression remained calm, as if he had anticipated the current situation.
That's indeed the case.
The current Inazuma City has just experienced turmoil and is under martial law. In this state, the Inazuma City really cannot withstand any disturbance.
As the person who manages the entire Inazuma Castle, Kujo Sara should adhere to the principle of not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes.
She herself is not good at governance, so at this time it is better to do less than more, and it is enough to maintain the overall order.
At this time, Xiao Gong actually went to ask her for a favor, and did so in public on the street. Of course, Kujo Sara could only refuse.
Knowing that he couldn't achieve his goal and that he seemed to have messed up, Xiao Gong felt so lost.
Standing in front of Yoshomiya, Shikanoin Heizo scratched his head, not knowing how to comfort her.
Finally, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and Gu Chen didn't plan to continue watching. He walked forward with Paimeng:
"Xiao Gong, you are planning to visit your friend in the prison of the Magistrate's Office, right?"
The sudden appearance of Gu Chen and Paimon made Xiao Gong and Shikanoin Heizo confused and a little wary.
Looking at Gu Chen, who was obviously not from Inazuma, he frowned slightly.
"You are……"
Paimon quickly introduced with a smile:
“His name is Gu Chen, and he’s… uh… a traveler!
My name is Paimon, and I'm his best friend!
We two came to Inazuma to travel!"
Gu Chen nodded, indicating that this was the case.
You can’t blame Paimon for being a bit evasive in his self-introduction.
After all, Inazuma is in a special period now, and Gu Chen’s identities such as the Star of Gou Chen and the Honorary Grand Leader are not suitable to be exposed, so he simply calls himself a traveler.
Traveler is his original identity.
After listening to the self-introduction, Xiao Gong didn't think anything of it. However, Shikanoin Heizo, who always had an amazing intuition and was good at observing people's words and expressions, subconsciously noticed something suspicious.
What? Travelers visiting Inazuma?
How desperate are you to travel to this place?
How is Inazuma now being tortured by the National Closure Order and the Eye Hunting Order? That kind of thing just happened a few days ago.
You...are you a spy from another country?
Heizo Kannoin did not connect Gu Chen with the man who fought with their general two days ago. He just felt it was suspicious.
Xiao Gong is warm and generous, she doesn't treat new friends with suspicion right from the start.
Xiao Gong simply waved and said hello:
"Hello, hello, Brother Gu Chen, and little Paimeng.
Um...how do you know me?"
Gu Chen smiled:
“The manager of the Naganohara Fireworks Shop, the queen of the summer festival, and the most famous pyrotechnician in all of Inazuma.
You are quite famous, so of course I know you."
"Is that so..." Xiao Gong scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that I'm quite famous, hehe..."
Then she immediately became serious:
"By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?
I do want to visit my friends in prison, and I am indeed worried about their situation.
Could you... help me?"
Gu Chen nodded:
"Yes, I can help you. I can get Kujo Sara to show mercy to you."
Xiao Gong opened his eyes wide, a little bit unbelievable:
"really?
But Sara just rejected me!"
The black lines on his head were almost coming out, and Gu Chen couldn't help but complain:
"You silly girl, you asked Kujo Sara to help you in public, but of course she couldn't agree.
This kind of thing has to be done secretly.
Listen to me, let's go to a secluded place away from people's sight to meet Kujo Sara.
I'll help you put in some intercession, and this will definitely work out!"
Xiao Gong clenched his fists, looking forward to the surprise:
"Can it really work?"
“It really works!”
Paimeng also put his hands on his hips and spoke confidently for Gu Chen:
"Don't worry, my partner will be fine!"
Heizo Shikanoin stood by with his arms folded, watching coldly, and he felt even more suspicious.
If he thought Gu Chen might be a spy before, now he thinks Gu Chen is more likely to be a liar.
According to Shikanoin Heizo's experience, the scammer would then trick Xiao Gong into a secluded place and then rob her of her money and her body.
After all, Xiao Palace has the Eye of God and is quite powerful, so there is no need to worry too much.
So Shikanoin Heizo just watched how things developed, ready to stop Xiao Gong at any time, or find a way to expose the true face of Gu Chen, the liar.
At this time, Xiao Gong couldn't wait to ask:
"So, where can we go to meet Kujo Sara quietly? Sara seems very busy right now."
Gu Chen's expression was very indifferent:
“No matter how busy she is, she can always find time.
It’s definitely not appropriate to meet her in public again, so let’s just choose a random place.
It's better to go behind the magistrate's office. There's no one there and it's quiet."
Heizo Kannoin next to him almost stumbled and fell!
What the hell?
Shouldn't this scammer have lured Xiaogong to a secluded place and robbed her of her money and raped her?
You tell me, this hidden place is behind the magistrate's office?
This isn't just a case of defying the law! This person is incredibly bold! He's so brazen right next to the magistrate's office!
Or...he just likes this kind of exciting play! ?
At this moment, Shikanoin Heizo's train of thought was completely distorted, and he looked at Gu Chen as if he were a pervert.
No, it’s not like that, it’s just like looking at a pervert!
And Gu Chen has already started inviting:
"Xiao Gong, let's go wait behind the magistrate's office. I've already contacted Kujo Sara, and she'll be here soon."
Xiao Gong was slightly stunned:
"Ah? Okay, I understand..."
In this way, Gu Chen and Paimeng took Xiao Gong, turned the corner and the street, and really ran to the deserted and quiet area behind the Fengxing Office.
Heizo Kanouin looked at the direction they were going, and he didn't expect that they would actually go there!
Then he quickly entered the magistrate's office, ran to the yard behind the office, kicked off with his feet, jumped quickly, and pushed himself up with his hands... his body was supported on the wall of the yard.
Maintaining this posture, he observed the area behind the magistrate's office from a high and hidden position.
He discovered... Gu Chen Paimeng and Xiao Palace were indeed here.
Xiao Gong was indeed not harmed. The three of them were chatting happily here, waiting for Kujo Sara, who might come or not.
Looking at this scene, Shikanoin Heizo felt that his many years of experience as a detective were challenged!
This suspicious guy actually didn't do anything to Xiao Gong!
Why...did he make such a fuss?
Shikanoin Heizo didn't think that Gu Chen could contact Kujo Sara. He had been here just now, but he didn't try to contact him!
What's going on with this guy?
