Izuki Karuta could only lament that the wives of Ke Xuexi were too unreasonable.
"I wonder what brings Ms. Chibo here today?"
Izuki Karuta got down to business.
Ikenami Shizuka: "I came here today to ask Mr. Izuki for help in finding someone."
Then he took out a photo and pointed to the person standing in the middle holding the championship trophy:
"His name is Shibata Shiro. He was my classmate in middle school, a member of the kendo club, and his kendo skills were very high."
Izuki Karuta nodded, took the photo, and examined it carefully.
The main thing is to look at the photos of Shizuka Ikebab back then; she looked so young and fresh.
Even now, you can still vaguely see the shadow of those days, only it's covered up by an old-fashioned outfit.
"What does Mr. Yizhu have to say?"
Ikenami Shizuka clearly sensed that Izuki Karuta's gaze was comparing the photo back and forth with her face.
Izuki Karuta: "I'm just curious, Ms. Ikenami, are you also in this photo?"
Ikenami Shizuka pointed to herself in the photo, "This is me."
“But this photo is quite old,” Izuki Karita said, waving the yellowed old photo in her hand, “while Ms. Ikenami looks to be under thirty.”
"I find it hard to believe it's the same person."
No matter how old a woman is, she will always be happy to be told she looks young.
Ikeba Shizuka was no exception; a smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of her mouth, which she quickly suppressed, pretending not to care, and said:
"I'm asking for help in finding someone, Mr. Yizhu, you don't need to worry about my age."
Izuki Karuta shook her head. "That's not right. What if you're Mr. Shibata's enemy and you're deliberately trying to trick me under the guise of looking for an old friend?"
"If I actually find the person then, Mr. Shibata might face a fatal situation?"
"If Ms. Chibo is a martial artist, she should know that martial artists are most likely to provoke enemies."
In reality, Izuki Karuta was just bored and wanted to tease Ikenami Shizuka.
If Shizuka Ikenami knew that her son, Heiji Hattori, had been forcibly turned gay by her dreams, I wonder what she would think.
Ikeba Shizuka thought that made sense, so she asked, "How does Mr. Izuki want me to prove it?"
Izuki Shizuta chuckled inwardly, but kept a straight face: "Ms. Ikenami, please let down your hair and tie it up like in the photo so I can compare."
Ikeba Shizuka nodded, deftly undoing her bun and tying it into the same high ponytail as in the photo.
With her new hairstyle, Shizuka Ikenami looks several years younger, and her skin is so fair and wrinkle-free that she looks like she's in her early twenties.
The more carefully Izuki Shizuta observed, the more she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The rules of the Ke Xuezi were simply too outrageous; the ladies seemed to possess a magic spell to stay young forever.
"Mr. Yizhu, have you seen enough?"
Ikeba Shizuka felt the gaze was too intense after being stared at for several minutes, so she asked in a cold voice.
At the same time, a chilling aura emanated from the area, the confident aura, or rather, the oppressive presence, brought about by the physical strength of a martial arts master.
“Almost there.” Izuki Qingtian didn’t take this intimidation seriously at all and said earnestly, “Ms. Ikenami, please show the smile you see in the photo.”
"Otherwise, if the expression is too serious, it will only look similar in appearance, but lack the spirit."
At this moment, Ikeba Shizuka just wanted to pass this so-called identity verification as soon as possible.
Smiles are not difficult, so I followed Izuki Karita's request and smiled slightly.
That smile instantly dissolved all the seriousness that Ikeba Shizuka had been trying so hard to maintain.
She seemed to transform back into the girl in the photo, confidently smiling with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
Izuki Karuta looked at it from left to right, admiring it for half a minute, and then...
Click——!
Then, seizing the opportunity, I took out my camera and snapped a picture.
"you……"
Ikeba Shizuka's smile vanished instantly, realizing she had been tricked.
Chapter 209 Hands-on Inspection, Madam Offended
"What are you doing?!"
Ikeba Shizuka's face darkened, and she questioned him sharply.
I could tolerate her letting her hair down and tying it into a high ponytail, and I even tolerated her smiling.
As a result, Izuki Karuta even took photos!
Izuki Shizuta looked puzzled: "Why is Ms. Ikenami so agitated over just taking a photo?"
"Shouldn't this photo be allowed to be seen by others?"
"I was already certain that Ms. Ikenami was the girl in the photo."
"But your unusual reaction makes me have even more doubts."
In fact, Izuki Shizuka had already realized that Ikenami Shizuka was deliberately creating a cold and serious personality.
The smile in this photo is one that even Heiji Hattori probably never saw before.
Ikeba Shizuka also realized that her reaction was a bit too much. "I... I just think your behavior is too presumptuous."
"Why were photos taken without my consent?"
Izuki Karuta replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's to save you trouble, Ms. Ikenami."
"To help me?" Ikeba Shizuka didn't quite understand.
Izuki Karuta: "Think about it carefully. If an old classmate from decades ago found out that you look as young as an 18-year-old girl, they would definitely find it hard to believe."
"At that time, I will only need to show these two photos to convince them."
"Don't worry, I will destroy the photos in front of you."
Izuki Qingtian made up a few nonsensical remarks.
Being praised for looking young again, and even more so for looking like an 18-year-old, made Shizuka Ikebami's lips involuntarily curl into a smile, no matter how reserved she was.
Izuki Karuta seized the opportunity and took a few more photos.
Shizuka Ikemura pressed on, "Didn't we already take photos? Why...?"
Izuki Karuta explained earnestly, "I think Ms. Ikenami's smile just now was more natural, more like that in an old photograph."
"In comparison, the smile before seemed more forced."
"And this new photo is even more beautiful, you'll see."
As she spoke, Izuki Karuta walked over to Ikenami Shizuka and began looking through the two photos in the digital album.
Having been serious for so many years, Ikeba Shizuka rarely saw herself smile, and was a little unaccustomed to it, slightly averting her gaze. "Alright, this should be fine, right?"
? ”
Ichiichi Takeshi smiled and whispered in Ikenami Shizuka's ear, "Looks like there's no problem on the outside."
"But we also need to check the inside."
Chi Bo Jinghua's breath hitched, and she stood up abruptly, shouting angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong from the beginning, and now that she heard these words, she was even more certain that she had been teased.
Izuki Shizuta looked completely innocent: "Of course, we need to check if they are wearing any disguises or anything like that."
"Criminals these days are very cunning; you can't judge a book by its cover."
"And Ms. Chibo, your reactions really make me uneasy."
In order to quickly dispel Ikenami Shizuka's suspicions,
Izuki Shigeta took out a disguise mask and put it on.
This mask was specially made by Yukiko for Itake Karuta, and it fits her perfectly.
After wearing it, his originally strikingly handsome appearance suddenly turned into that of an ordinary passerby.
"..."
Ikeba Shizuka was so shocked by this scene that she was speechless.
I never imagined that criminals these days would be so skilled at disguise; the mask was completely indistinguishable from the real thing.
What I didn't expect was that what Izuki Qingtian said just now was all true.
"Then, what are you going to do?"
Ikeba Shizuka's imposing aura instantly weakened, and she sat back down on the cushion.
Recalling what Izuki Karuta had just said, Ikenami Shizuka felt it made more and more sense, even very professional.
If someone were to use disguise to find enemies, then Itsuki Shigeta would be an accomplice.
