"Boom...boom..." The regular knock on the door made John, who was a little drowsy, sigh involuntarily, "Really, I didn't know to bring a key when I ran out... .”

Slowly stood up, yawned, and walked towards the door, "Here, here, don't knock. Really, I'm not young anymore, why has my temper not changed at all?"

"Here we come! You don't want... huh? You are?" The moment the door opened, JOHN almost stood still on the spot.Because obviously, the person standing outside the door is not his colleague, DAM.It was a man dressed in black, wearing a mask and sunglasses, whose face was unrecognizable.

The drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and the keen sense cultivated by working in the FBI for many years made John immediately aware of the strangeness of the matter, and he held the pistol in the jacket with his right hand calmly.

"Who are you?" There was a hint of guard in the voice.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person." The man's voice was very gentle, although he couldn't see his expression, but his eyes seemed to be sincere, "I'm here to tell you that a friend of yours named DAM crawled to the I didn’t expect a foot to get stuck in the branch and couldn’t get it out. I happened to pass by there, and when he saw me, he begged me for help and asked me to come to you, saying that you must have a solution.”

'This stinky boy, how rough is he going to be, and why does he keep doing this kind of thing. 'JOHN's forehead suddenly twitched, but his right hand gradually relaxed.

'It's not good to leave without permission, but you can't let DAM stay alone in the tree...Since this man said his name and said he was going to save the cat, he shouldn't It will be fake...and if I don't go, maybe this man will be suspicious instead."

Looking back at the closed door of a room, John thought to himself, 'Forget it, it's safe here anyway, and the girl won't be in any danger if she stays inside, as long as the door is locked to keep her Outsiders come in, and I come back immediately, so there shouldn't be anything wrong. '

After making up his mind, JOHN smiled at the stranger, "Well, I see, just wait a minute, I'll find a tool and go right away, please help me bring it...Huh?"

The moment he relaxed his vigilance and turned his back to the strange man, he suddenly felt a slight stabbing pain in his neck.Before he had time to react, JOHN fell asleep.

"Hey..." The man sighed slightly, ".....I'm really sorry. If you want to blame, you can blame yourself. As the FBI, your vigilance is so poor..."

His eyes scanned the entire room, from the TV still on, to the half-drunk beer, to the cards spread out on the table, and finally fixed on a closed door opposite the living room.

'That should be it. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he walked to the door of the bedroom without haste. The moment he opened the door, the scene inside the room surprised him secretly.

In a room of more than ten square meters, there is no other furniture except for a bed and a low cabinet on one side.What's more, the place is obviously empty.He walked quickly to the wide open window, but kicked the iron window rail on the ground and the screws scattered beside it.Quickly stuck his head out of the window, but the man quickly frowned, because a torn quilt was hanging alone.

'escaped?Cut... things will be troublesome now, just in case...'

"Brother, this is here... Huh? Strange, what's wrong with this door, what's wrong with this person..."

"Don't make a sound!"

Before any reaction was made, the voice from the door made people hold their breath.

'Oops...it came so soon! Before he could think about it, his body acted quickly like a conditioned reflex, and jumped out of the window.

"Someone! By the window!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Before the words were finished, two bullets arrived at the sound and hit the window frame, almost passing by the figure.

Like a hurricane, Chianti and Korn rushed into the bedroom in only 5 seconds. The rifle in their hands unceremoniously fired several shots at the figure outside the window.

But what they didn't expect was that the person outside the house was extremely agile. After a few extremely dexterous evasions, his figure had already disappeared into the bushes not far away. The speed was so fast that the second-class sniper People are completely helpless, almost only staring blankly.

"Damn it!" Chianti turned around, raised his gun and rushed towards the door.

"stop!"

"But?"

"You can't hit him even if you have a favorable terrain, so can you do it in the woods?" GIN's voice was like the solid ice of winter.The impact on the eardrum was not only cold, but also unbearably stinging, "If there is an ambush in the forest, I think you will have no bones left!"

"This!"

"I didn't expect this little girl to be quite sought after." His brows were slightly frowned, his face seemed as calm as water, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes, "In addition to the FBI, there are actually people who want to kidnap... No, save her. ..."

"What? You mean the one just now, not the FBI?"

"That's right, the person at the door should have been stunned by the person just now... and his purpose is to take Aoko Nakamori away from these lax FBI before us. That is Said, I am afraid that our operation has been known by Kidd, or guessed!"

"Know it? Guess it? How come? Let the blind cat touch the mouse to death!"

"Brother!" Vodka walked into the bedroom, "What about the FBI?"

"Don't deal with it, let him go...Since the person has been rescued, there is no point in killing this person, instead leaving evidence. So there is no need to waste bullets."

"So big brother, what do we do now?"

"go back!"

"But!"

"Didn't you hear it?" GIN pointed to the vibrating mobile phone on the ground, and explained tepidly, "It seems that the FBI agents will be in regular contact with the higher-ups, and now the contact has been cut off, and I'm afraid someone will come right away Before that, we must get out of here as soon as possible."

"Come here, are you afraid of them?" Chianti sneered, "My hands are itching, killing a few people may relieve my anger."

"There are only four of us. If the FBI is really prepared, we will be in a dangerous situation. There is no need to be brave at this time."

"So that's it?"

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future, but not now."

After saying that, GIN turned and left, but before leaving, he glanced at the woods not far away through the glass window that was blown by the wind, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved. Unexpectedly, not only Kidd Tangled, even the people around him are not idle people. ． ． ． ．It's getting more and more interesting! '

================================================== ===============

No one spoke, only the eyes of Kuroba Kaito and Amano Akihito met, and the doubt and playfulness in those eyes.

"That's weird." Kaito tried his best to search for the man in front of him in his memory, but he still couldn't find anything. "I don't remember meeting your 'friend'... As for the enemy, my father's enemy There is only one kind of person, the one who took his life eight years ago."

"Are you so sure?" His falcon-like eyes looked straight into each other's eyes.

"A man like my father has no other enemies."

"You trust him so much?"

"That's right."

"Then..." After taking a sip of the fine wine slowly, Amano's eyes flashed a complex look, "Has your great father mentioned the name Kuroba Seiichi like you?"

"As mentioned, he was my grandfather. My father died when he was very young."

"Oh, so that's what Pirate One said to you." There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "But how can I remember that your grandpa was still alive when you were six years old?"

"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Kaito was a little surprised by the sudden words, "What's going on here?"Of course my father would not lie to me, but why did Amano say that? '

"It seems that the father you respect has reservations about you. However, it's no wonder..." Amano Akihito seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, his eyes looked ahead but he couldn't seem to find the focus, and he spoke The tone of voice is not so much talking to people, but more like talking to yourself, "You are very similar to your father. It's just that there are some things he has that you don't have. Of course, it's best not to have it."

"what you mean?"

"It's nothing, there are some things, it's better to know than not to know."

Although he was a little curious, to Kaito, the man in front of him was more intriguing than the grandfather he had never seen before.

"Even if grandpa lived longer than I knew, I can't see how this has anything to do with our current topic."

Although Kaito's tone was aggressive, it was a pity that his pale face and the constant sweat on his forehead still revealed his current situation.

"I really think it's very related. Since Pirate One doesn't want to mention your grandfather, then naturally he won't tell you that he still has my brother."

"What!" This time it was Kaito's turn, Hattori and Conan were surprised at the same time.

"Looking at your expression, it's true that Bandit One didn't mention me." A smile appeared on Amano's lips, but obviously, there was no smile in his eyes. "But don't get me wrong. I have no blood relationship with your father. I was an orphan adopted by your grandfather Kuroba Seiichi when he was 7 years old. Although Pirates kept calling me brother, in fact, I and His relationship is like the relationship between Terai and you. I can only be regarded as his servant and assistant."

Kaito's thoughts were a little confused by this series of statements.Kaito wanted to see a trace of lying in Amano's eyes, but he failed.

"If what you said is true, why did father hide your existence from me?"

"It's not a concealment, it's just that I don't want to tell the truth. After all, every father hopes that he is perfect in front of his children, but I belong to his...that unknown world."

Kaito's expression became a little softer, and his tone softened, "Father did not reveal his identity as Kidd before his death. I understand that he wanted to protect me..."

"Haha!" Amano burst into laughter suddenly, and because of the loud laughter, some of the red wine in the glass spilled out. "Protect you? Forget it, you still can't understand what I'm saying."

Anger burst from the bottom of my heart, "What do you want to say... Dudu."

Kaito, who wanted to continue, was interrupted by a cell phone ringing.

Originally, at such a moment, things like cell phone ringtones were ignored.But Conan, Hattori, and Kaito are very clear.This mobile phone has been set by them only a few people can call in, and once it rings, it must be a very important thing.After the three of them exchanged glances, Conan answered the phone.

"What's the matter?" The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say.Soon, Conan's complexion became worse and worse. "What happened."

Hattori rarely saw such a serious expression on Conan, so he couldn't help asking softly.

"What do you mean by missing? Tell me clearly, where did she go?"

Conan's sudden roar made Hattori swallow what he wanted to say.Although it was only a brief silence, it felt like time and space had been stretched.

"I see." Conan put down his phone, his eyes flickered, but he looked at Kaito.

"What's wrong?" An ominous premonition came to mind.

"Quick fight..."

"What's the matter, why are you hesitating."

"Kaito... Qingzi"

Kaito instantly felt his blood flow back, he rushed to Conan and grabbed his collar tightly, "What's wrong with Qingzi, tell me, hey, you are talking!"

"..." Conan suddenly didn't know how to speak, but seeing Kaito's expression, he knew he couldn't hide it, "Aoko is gone, but don't worry, maybe it's just..."

"Damn it." Before he finished listening, Kaito pushed Conan against the wall, and he rushed out of the room without saying a word.

"Wait a minute, Kaito, calm down."

Hattori, who reflected back, rushed out. But only the sound of the car starting and leaving was heard.
