Did I fall off the horse with Touzi today?

Xia Nai arrived at the underground garage of Mihua Central Building on time at nine o'clock on Wednesday night.

The parking lot was not very crowded on weekday nights, and Xia Nai found a vacant seat very easily.She stopped the car steadily, and then took off the navigation phone and switched to the SMS page.

At the top of the SMS page is a contact from Shuichi Akai.

The time of receipt was 5 minutes ago, and the content of the text message was a simple "I have arrived".

This short sentence made Xia Nai immediately glance at the time, seeing that the time displayed on the phone was already [-]:[-], Xia Nai hurriedly put on the high heels she had prepared, and checked her makeup through the rearview mirror. Then he picked up the coat and handbag on the passenger seat, pulled out the car key, got out of the car and left.

It was very cold in the underground garage, in stark contrast to the temperature inside the car.Xia Nai, who was only wearing a black suspender dress, shivered from the cold, and quickly put the cashmere coat she was copying on her shoulders.

Although the dress Jing Guang chose was pretty, Xia Nai realized after wearing it today that not only does she have to have a figure like Chrissy Wynyard to hold up such a dress...

More importantly, it has to resist freezing.

Xia Nai was already shivering from the cold in just this moment, she stepped on the stiletto heels steadily, and hurriedly walked towards the elevator.She stuffed the car keys in her hand into her handbag, and at the same time sent a text message to Akai Shuichi who should have been waiting for a long time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting.

I just parked the car, come up now. "

Although the cashmere jacket keeps warm, but the underground garage is really cold.Xia Nai originally thought that she would have to endure the cold in the garage for a while, but the elevator came very quickly today.

——At the same time as the elevator arrived, there was also a text message from Shuichi Akai.

"No hurry, please take your time."

While Xia Nai was checking the text messages, all the passengers on the elevator had already left.Xia Nai, who was already so cold that he couldn't bear it, hurried into this small space, stretched out his frozen fingers and pressed the button leading to the restaurant on the top floor.

While she was waiting for the elevator door to close, a white shadow that she felt quite familiar was slowly approaching from far to near.

Xia Nai doesn't know much about cars, but because of her boyfriend, Xia Nai managed to remember the name and appearance of the FDRX-7.

So before the elevator door slowly closed, Xia Nai recognized that it was her boyfriend's car.

——Or, it was the same car as her boyfriend.

"Shouldn't it be Tou-kun?"

Xia Nai remembered that her boyfriend mentioned it casually, saying that he would buy the current car because of a friend's recommendation.Although Xia Nai has never met those friends that her boyfriend occasionally mentions, according to him, it is obvious that his car is not too rare.

At least it's much more common than her car.

Denying the possibility that the owner of the car is her boyfriend, Xia Nai also relaxed a lot, "Well, no, no, how could such a coincidence happen."

The last time she met Shuichi Akai, it happened that she met her boyfriend at the coffee shop where her boyfriend worked part-time, so she bumped into her boyfriend who was on duty that day. Xia Nai couldn't believe that her boyfriend could still come to this restaurant to work part-time up.

How could it be possible that every time she met Akai Shuichi, she would meet her boyfriend by coincidence like a novel written by Oda Saku?

This is reality, not fiction.

Xia Nai shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, "Again, what is Tou-jun doing in the restaurant at this hour? It's not necessarily meeting the blonde beauty, is it?"

She didn't believe that the legendary blond beauty was just her boyfriend's client, and she didn't think that her boyfriend would really bring her to such an expensive high-end restaurant to enjoy a candlelight dinner.

If this kind of thing happens...

Then let's break up.

While Xia Nai was thinking wildly, other passengers kept coming in and out of the elevator, and finally when the elevator reached the top floor, there was still only Xia Nai in this small steel box.

Seeing Xia Nai approaching them, the front desk of the Overlook Restaurant immediately smiled: "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"I'm Tsushima who made a reservation at nine o'clock tonight," Xia Nai softly reported her name and mobile phone number, and added, "My companion should have arrived."

The restaurant is filled with melodious blues, and the aroma of food fills the air.

This is an old restaurant with a history of at least 20 years. It is said that the world-renowned mystery novelist Yusaku Kudo proposed to his wife in this restaurant.Xia Nai has been to Hezhong several times in the past, and he really likes the sirloin steak and desserts of this restaurant.

Probably because it was not a weekend, there were not many people dining in the restaurant. When Xia Nai walked towards her seat under the leadership of the waiter, she saw only a few tables with customers sitting on the window seats...

Shana saw Akai Shuichi sitting in a secluded corner from a distance.

He was still dressed as Okiya Subaru, wearing a crisp suit with a high collar, and wearing glasses on the bridge of his nose.Obviously, as a sniper, he should have excellent eyesight, but he kept squinting his eyes, looking harmless to humans and animals.

——It looks more like a suspicious person, Mr. Akai.

In Xia Nai's heart, she slandered Akai Shuichi's current appearance. She really couldn't imagine that Akai Shuichi, who had longer hair than her, was calm and calm, and even occasionally exuded low pressure, would become what he is now.

It is estimated that the organization he once infiltrated could not have imagined.

Akai Shuichi, who was looking at something, also noticed Shana's arrival. He nodded at Shana, but his eyes quickly returned to where he was originally.

Xia Nai followed his gaze just now, and saw a blond foreign woman sitting on a seat about ten steps away from her now.

This glamorous and charming blonde was wearing a dark purple dress with just the right amount of curly long hair. She didn't wear complicated jewelry, only a pair of earrings.But Xia Nai can be very sure that she is definitely the focus of this restaurant.

I don't know if it was Xia Nai's illusion, she always felt that this blonde beauty looked a bit like the American actress who hadn't appeared on the screen for a long time——Chris Wynyard.

Probably because Xia Nai's scrutinizing eyes were too obvious, the blonde beauty who was thinking about something also looked at her.

Then she showed a slightly startled expression.

Although the blonde beauty quickly cleaned up her expression, she looked away and stopped looking at Xia Nai.But Xia Nai still caught something extraordinary from the short moment of surprise that the other party showed when their eyes met just now.

The blonde beauty looked at her just now, as if she recognized who she was.

Xia Nai didn't think it was an over-interpretation by herself, nor did she feel that she had such a reputation, but the eyes and expression of the blond beauty told Xia Nai that she should know her.

However, in Xia Nai's memory, she didn't remember knowing such a recognizable foreign woman.

——In other words, it should be that the other party knew who she was unilaterally.

Xia Nai, who was full of doubts, quickly passed the table of the blonde beauty under the leadership of the waiter.When the two passed by, Xia Nai, who was paying attention to each other's actions, found that the blond beauty seemed to glance at herself again.

That gaze seemed to be probing, more like confirming.

The blond beauty really knew her!

Under the brief meeting of the eyes of the two, Xia Nai quickly confirmed this.However, neither her nor the blonde beauty's eyes stayed on each other. When Xia Nai turned away from the blonde beauty's table, they both withdrew their gazes.

"I kept you waiting, Subaru-san."

The waiter opened the seat for Shana, and after Shana thanked him, he took a seat opposite Akai Shuichi, "I'm the one who asked you out, but I'm really sorry for making you wait so long."

"No, I didn't wait long either."

Akai Hideichi, who was sitting opposite Shana, responded, although the voice belonging to Okiya Subaru sounded very gentle and harmless, it also fit his current image.But when Xia Nai thought that the person sitting opposite was Akai Shuichi, she felt very awkward.

It's not that Akai Shuichi left a bad impression on Shana, it's just that the only few times they met in the past were in extremely dangerous situations. Either Shana was on a mission, or Akai Shuichi encountered life-and-death troubles.

It was rare for the two of them to sit at the table and eat with such peace of mind as now.

This was the first time, if not the last time at Poirot's.

The waiter who couldn't see through the relationship between the two of them handed the menu to the two, and after confirming that Shana and Xiuyi hadn't decided yet, he fled away from this strange atmosphere.

Shana and Akai Hideichi silently flipped through the bilingual text in front of them, and finally it was Shana who spoke first.

"Last time I encountered a little trouble in Poirot's coffee shop, and I couldn't explain the situation to you, and then I had to leave because of something. It's hard for Mr. Subaru to help me with this."

Probably because he realized that speaking like this seemed too polite and alienated, Xia Nai quickly added, "However, the results of the investigation can be found in less than a week. Is it really worthy of you?"

Akai Hideichi didn't think there was anything unusual in Shana's tone, "It's just a small effort, after all, Miss Shana helped us a lot back then, and..."

He paused, and seemed to look somewhere else.

Xia Nai just guessed whether Akai Shuichi was looking at the blonde beauty sitting a few tables behind her, when she heard the other party's voice sound again.

"In the future, there may be things that need Miss Shane's help."

"It's really rare to hear the word please from your mouth. I thought you were the kind of character who would take care of yourself when you were in trouble, and would not ask for help easily."

Xia Nai teased, in her impression, Akai Hideichi is the image of a versatile FBI investigator, "Don't worry, Mr. Subaru, as long as it doesn't violate the interests of this side, I will help you no matter what happens to you." Help, after all, I also want to continue our pleasant cooperative relationship."

Even if she can handle most of the problems encountered in Japan, there are always places beyond her reach.

Just like this investigation of Royal Shao Shenzi.

"There is just one thing I still want to remind you."

Xia Nai blinked from Akai Shuichi, "The police on our side are very troublesome. If you make any big moves here, it's better to avoid them a little bit."

Akai Shuichi: "...Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention."

Although Xia Nai avoided the police because of the blind date, she heard about the great achievements of the police from Seri Awashima a few days ago. Even Jing Guang, who is still in the S4 prison, occasionally mentioned it to her. Some police situations.

So Xia Nai now knows very well that the Public Security Department of the National Police Agency—especially the Security Planning Division, is full of guys with a strong sense of belonging and honor.

Xia Nai felt that if Akai Shuichi, the FBI's activities in Japan were too active, it might trigger those guys' sensitive|fragile nerves.

It's a pity that Shana's friendly reminder is still a step late for Akai Shuichi.

Akai Hideichi thought of the old acquaintance he met in Poirot Cafe that day pretending to be a coffee shop clerk, and the hatred that the other party unabashedly radiated towards him, and felt that he had already started to have a headache.

especially……

Akai Shuichi passed Shane's figure, frowned and looked at the table behind her that had attracted his attention from the very beginning.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a blond old acquaintance who had broken two or three ribs with a single shot turned his back on them, as if he was not aware of his existence; and another black-skinned policeman who happened to be mentioned in their words, at this moment Wearing a shirt and trousers and a black suit vest, he walked across from the blonde actress.

The blond-haired and dark-skinned policeman didn't take his seat immediately, but just smiled and talked to the blond actress.

Akai Hideichi noticed that the other party's eyes were looking this way intentionally or unintentionally. He seemed to be aware of their existence, but this man who had always been about pretending didn't look away immediately, and his eyes even lingered at their table. count seconds.

Even though he was sitting so far away, Akai Shuichi could see Amuro Toru's astonishment at the moment.

"Mr. Subaru, what's the matter with you?" Akai Shuichi's obviously not quite right reaction aroused Shana's suspicion.

She tried hard to recall who was sitting behind her, and after thinking of the blonde beauty who made her wonder for a moment if she was a screen actress, Xia Nai felt that she understood something.

"Don't tell me you're attracted to that blonde beauty, too."

Xia Nai didn't think Akai Hideichi was such a person who could be easily seduced by beauty, she teased, "Although I also know that blonde beauty is very beautiful, but I'm still sitting opposite you, you just stare at her Look at the other women, don't they take me too seriously?"

"...No, I didn't think so."

He could hear that there was no anger in Xia Nai's tone, but more of teasing himself, but he still defended, "I just feel like I saw two acquaintances."

"two?"

Xia Nai was taken aback, and then realized what Akai Hideichi said, "Do you also think that blonde beauty looks familiar? Could it be that another shadow..."

She turned her head away as she spoke.

It's a pity that this time, Xia Nai stopped abruptly before she finished speaking.

In addition to the blond beauty who looked very much like Chris Wynyard just now, there was also a young man who entered.

He has chocolate-colored skin and honey-like blond hair that Shane is familiar with. He is wearing a high-end shirt and black suit vest that Shane has never seen before. The cute looking baby's face is also much gloomy.

Under the impact of this staggering picture, the first thought that flashed through Xia Nai was that Akai Shuichi was right, this is indeed an acquaintance.

Because he appeared at the table with the blonde beauty, sitting opposite the blonde beauty with a cold face under their gaze...

It was her boyfriend.

And Shana's second thought was——

She finally met the blonde beauty her boyfriend had been hiding.
