Ke Xue invades the three-dimensional
Chapter 75 (Including Additions) (1)
……
"Long time no see, Rye."
When the man wearing brown sunglasses said that with a smile, Akai Shuichi's eyes flashed a strange light.
It was as if the dead branches buried by his own hands were revived silently, the branches actively pierced through the snow that was pressed on the surface, and fell into his green eyes that were covered in black by frost and snow.
He can finally stretch out his hands to scrape away the thick snow, bring the branches and leaves back to the sun, and protect the perhaps exhausted it back to health, and grow into what it should have been.
only--
Some surprises.
It should be said that it was very unexpected.
The new branches and leaves are stronger than he thought, and they don't need anyone to guard them.
What catches Akai Hideo's eyes is a towering giant tree. Even if you look up, you can't see how wide its tangled and extended branches are. As long as everyone approaches the center, they will be placed in the deeper and darker shade of the tree.
No one can know everything that a man hides in the darkness, but one thing is enough:
Safe in the shade.
As long as you can come here, you don't have to fear the dangers from the outside world.
... He has changed quite a lot, but his essence has not changed at all.
Akai Hideichi thought.
I finally confirmed the answer that I had guessed for a long time. Next, what should the FBI, who has been suffering from inner torment until today, do?
A slightly gentler way is to skillfully suppress the man who was still full of lies before breaking up, and give a rich speech lesson, so that he who always understates things and says nothing is wrong, learn to be obedient, and the key point is to learn to put yourself first in everything.
But since it is useless to say it, including Shuichi Akai himself, he is also the kind of person who will never learn to protect himself first, so this plan was abandoned first.
That leaves only a less benign solution.
"..."
"..."
Qian Mu accepted the wordless stare from the FBI for more than 10 minutes.
The black-haired man's eyes didn't look sharp, nor did he have any hidden hints, they were frank and direct, as if he just wanted to look at him.
However, no hint is the most obvious hint.
The red-haired man who can read people's hearts the most, and is now the best at pretending to be foolish, laughed in his heart.
The thin-skinned "Ketor" who put down the disguise is no longer there, and it's useless for Hideo Akai to use this set to deal with him again and again. He is quite patient, and he can completely keep eye contact with men until the next morning.
Akai Hideichi probably knew it too, but he did it openly, betting on another choice proposition.
What a dodgy FBI.
Qian Mu also took a few more serious glances at Chi Jingxiu, wrote down the face that had been thrown away and replaced it in the blurred memory picture one by one, and repaired the missing piece of the puzzle again.
After that, he stopped staring at men.
"Aren't you satisfied with what I said just now? Hey, let me start over."
Qian Mu changed his words in a polite manner: "Long time no see, Xiuyi."
With an intimacy that he couldn't shout out even if he died before, he was full of smiles.
Akai Shuichi's eyes widened slightly for a moment.
However, this man was not an idle person at all, apart from being surprised, he was hardly in a daze.
It didn't matter if he wasn't used to it at first, but he got used to it later on, just like he was not used to expressing concern to people frankly.
Therefore, the FBI ace with green pupils smiled and responded very naturally: "Yeah. Long time no see, Qianmu."
He stretched out his left hand to Qianmu.
Qian Mu thought that he also wanted to satisfy the sense of ritual, and he wanted to shake hands with him after reuniting after a long absence, so he extended his left hand over.
"Crack."
This was a voice that surprised even Qian Mu, who is now quite accomplished.
"...?" He looked at the handcuffs on his wrist, "Can I ask, where did you get this unfriendly reunion gift?"
"A few months ago, I met Lu Chuan. You should be familiar with Lu Chuan Hang and Zhu Fu Jingguang."
"Green River..."
Qian Mu retrieved some bits and pieces of memory. It turned out that the word was "hang" and not "light". It's strange, when did he forget it--it doesn't matter, it's a pseudonym anyway.
"Zhu Fu, Jing Guang."
He recited the name silently, while thinking about it, he let Akai Hideo cuff his right hand as well.
"It was Zhu Fujun who contacted me on the initiative. After mentioning your name, we made an appointment to meet at a place."
Akai Shuichi omitted many details before the meeting, the time span was from three months ago to three years ago.
three years ago.
It took two days to escape, and ten days to evade the organization's frantic pursuit. In the early morning of No. 15, Akai Shuichi learned of the death of "Ketor".
Because he hadn't given up on the idea of taking Qian Mu away, he contacted the headquarters immediately after he was safe, hoping to continue searching for information on the organization's important researcher "Ke Tor".
Akai Shuichi originally thought that it would be difficult to know the current situation of that person. The organization hid that person very deeply and would not let his news be easily exposed, but the news came faster than expected.
Before Akai Shuichi saw the news excerpt, he had an ominous premonition of extremely depressed heart.
After reading it, he felt slow again, too slow.
Eleven days later—no, what he lost was a long time that would fill the rest of his life with self-blame and regret.
Akai Hideichi sat against the wall of the safe house, with one leg bent, and his hand holding the cigarette that hadn't been broken all night would occasionally rest on his knee. He looked up at the moon outside the window, as if he had returned to the night when he parted.
Going back to that night, he would not believe Qian Mu's words, he would no longer believe that there might be a little bit of kindness in the organization, he would—
Will he take Qian Mu back to the United States regardless of the consequences, even if he knocks him out and drags him away?
Even after making this meaningless assumption afterwards, Akai Shuichi still couldn't give a definite answer.
When faced with important choices, Akai Shuichi is a man who is so calm and cold-blooded.
Even if time returns to that night, his thinking may still not change: take Qian Mu away with his wounded body, the result will almost certainly be that neither of them can leave, and they will die together on the eve of dawn.Leave Qian Mu behind, and believe in his unequivocal "nothing", each of them still has a glimmer of life, and there is a chance to see each other again.
He will weigh the pros and cons and choose the better one from the two bad options.
but.
The second choice is indeed better than the first one, but the follow-up is that Qian Mu will die in the explosion on the top of the Ferris wheel.
What kind of ending is good?Can the extra four days be regarded as the time he won back from the "fate" choice?
Even if Qian Mu was brought back to the United States, if he couldn't find a cure, then Qian Mu would still die. Could it be that after he made a choice for him without authorization, he wanted to help him choose a better way to die?
Akai Shuichi's inner world is always filled with these "reasons", which used to be a sharp weapon to help him walk better in the dark, but now he loathes his nature for no reason.
In any case, the brothers who are regarded as family members are now dead because of him.
Akai Shuichi received unprecedented setbacks and pain.
Although the cigarette butts thrown on the ground were cleaned out in time after smoking, he looked very calm for a long time, but like other people who knew about someone's death, something happened to the black-haired man A change that cannot be ignored.
Three months ago, Akai Shuichi had just returned to the island country from the United States. Not only did he still hold the goal of finding his father's whereabouts, but he also brought with him a fire of revenge that had burned for three full years.
He did not hesitate to destroy himself, but also to crush the colossus called the Black Organization.
It was at this time that Akai Shuichi received a contact from an unexpected person.
It's hard to imagine how that man went around and found him who had a huge gap. Akai Shuichi's first reaction was to admire the courage and perseverance of "Lvchuan Hang".
"Lvchuan Airlines" contacted him, which was obviously a private operation under great pressure, and the hardships involved need not be said.
Naturally, the man didn't come to him specifically to catch up with him because of the friendship he had when he was an undercover agent. At the beginning, he pointed out that he was a good friend of "Ke Tor" and wanted to know something about him.
With just this sentence, Akai Shuichi came to his senses, and the little puzzles that were missed many years ago were completely completed.
"Lvchuan Hang" is a good friend of "Ketor", and Qian Mu, who pretends to be "Doctor", temporarily designs a fake death scene to let "Lvchuan Hang" leave the organization after revealing the truth.
And the identity of "Ketor" is fake, that is to say, Qian Mu is very likely to be an undercover agent who used a fake identity to break into the organization just like "Lvchuan Hang".
They are all members of the island country police.
Unlike the "Green River Airlines" who was lucky enough to run into Qianmu, Qianmu himself was very unlucky. He joined the organization as a researcher, but because he was suddenly involved in secrets beyond imagination, he was forced to die by the organization. get away.
Akai Hideichi didn't expect that after thinking so much, he still didn't think too much. The pressure Qian Mu was under at that time was even more unspeakable.
As an undercover agent, he could fully understand that person's pain at that time.
No wonder when he met Qian Mu two years later, he was exhausted and desperate, and he leaked important secrets to himself so easily.
No wonder when he promised to take him away, he reacted so coldly and stagnantly.He couldn't go back, and he didn't plan to leave, perhaps as early as then, he was ready to sink in the mud.
Shuichi Akai had guessed whether "Lvchuan Hang" suddenly wanted to see him because he wanted to avenge his friend. After all, from their perspective, FBI undercover Shuichi Akai had an unshirkable responsibility for the death of the police undercover "Ketor".
Therefore, in the first sentence of the secret meeting, Akai Shuichi said: "I don't mind if you point the gun at me, but not now. Cooperation and information exchange are the best choices that benefit both you and me at present, Midorikawa What do you think, sir?"
"I think so too, that's why I appear here."
The black-haired man stared straight at his seemingly cold face with sharp eyes, and said after a while: "However, I did consider shooting you when I saw you—as long as you show even a little indifference to that person, I will see you on your way, Lord Zhu Xing."
"Lvchuan Airlines" probably has very complicated perceptions of Shuichi Akai.
For quite a long time, like his younger brother, he locked the pain and resentment of losing an important person on the FBI who fled.
But he is different from his childhood friend, there is always a strange dream that repeats repeatedly at night, as if it is an important reminder to him.
The man gradually recognized the chaotic scene in the dream. He committed suicide. There was no doubt. The admission should be Rye himself.
Out of this unscientific discovery, the man regained his composure and began to analyze one by one.
Regardless of Akai Shuichi's weird logic of action, he can suspect anyone, but he shouldn't doubt his friends. If Akai Shuichi really gets Qianmu's approval, then he can suppress his resentment and see that man rationally Let's talk about it later.
If Akai Shuichi dares to come, his suspiciousness can be lowered appropriately. If he dares to be sincere and tell his friend the information about the time before his death without concealment, then the man will feel better, thinking that maybe there is really something in it Misunderstand.
——If you are not sincere...or if you just see the plain, in words, you just treat the deceased as a helpless stranger who is only "regretful" when he dies...
Shuichi Akai, a man who wasn't sure if he could keep his cool, or what reaction he'd prefer to see.
In the end, what he saw was a man who looked like he was looking in a mirror.
It seems to be calm, but in fact there are dangerous undercurrents under the water surface. As long as you have not drowned, you will patiently wait for the opportunity to drag the crow that finally falls into the deep sea and die together.
Also understand what, the man has nothing to say.
After a period of dead silence, the two people in the dark alley spoke again, their attitude obviously much more serious.
The man revealed his real name, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was a public security officer, and was once a liaison officer of "Ketor". He wanted to know what happened to "Ketor" before he died, and whether there was any abnormality on his body, so Akai Shuichi defected hastily What is the reason, the more detailed the better.
Akai Shuichi naturally told him what he knew, from the beginning when Qianmu was locked up in an underground research institute far away from the urban area and accepted his own "surveillance", to the experiment that had not made progress for a long time, and to Qianmu's last paragraph Time, abnormally bad physical and mental state...
When it came to the last point, Akai Hideichi hesitated.
The man is keenly aware that Zhu Fu Jingming is not only Qianmu's friend, but also his liaison officer during the undercover period, but he has no idea about Qianmu's physical condition, only knows about the last day when Qianmu appeared in the eyes of others , looks very haggard.
It can only be that someone deliberately avoided it, and the intention is very obvious.
"If you know anything else, tell me everything." Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes were heavy, and his words were extremely tough.
Akai Shuichi was silent for a moment, and told part of the truth.
He only said that after the red-haired man left the research institute, he was still under extremely strict surveillance. Under the tremendous pressure, he became thinner and weaker day by day, and his body gradually became weaker. He didn't mention the incurable disease.
Because it was only part of it, the man in front of him froze in place like a fool.
Afterwards, his raised cat eyes suddenly dimmed, and his figure was almost unstable—of course, he soon returned to normal, and he would not reveal his almost collapsed side in front of outsiders.
"...I understand. So, you acted hastily to compete with the organization for time, and your original intention was to save him...right?"
"...Yes. Sorry, I failed twice."
"I... sorry, I should have said to you, I'm sorry, Akai-kun, I misunderstood you for a long time." Zhu Fujingguang took a shallow breath to hide his slightly trembling cheek muscles, "It is our responsibility to rescue him You shouldn't be taking the risk of one party's responsibility... Thank you."
"I'm not qualified to be thanked by you. Even if I try, it can't change the fact that I have implicated him."
"No, at least you tried to save him, and I..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't finish his sentence, the wry smile on his face was uglier than crying.
The two men fell silent again.
"That guy...although it's useless, I still want to scold him severely."
Zhu Fu Jingguang's voice was dry, and when he spoke again, he really cursed secretly, but the voice was so low that others could not hear it clearly.
"You who know his real name should understand how I feel."
"Yuanqianmu is the most cunning idiot I have ever seen. Do you think he is powerful? He is indeed very powerful in many aspects, especially in avoiding trouble. I can't keep up with him. But he always likes to do some scaring People's affairs, keep everyone in the dark, and turn the shock into a surprise."
"This guy, when it comes to the danger he should slyly avoid, he still dares to mess around... Now, after making a fool of us on his own initiative, he first got a favor that he couldn't give up, and then fled to Where people can't catch it—I don't even have a chance to catch him by the collar and reprimand him!"
Akai Hideichi listened silently, and he fully agreed with Zhu Fu Jingguang's implicitly painful complaints.
Yuan Qianmu was indeed cunning and self-willed, especially in the last period of time, he was so self-assertive to the extreme, completely ignoring the grief of those who learned the truth afterwards.
In addition to the pain, there is even more anger, wishing to immediately pull him over to teach him a lesson, he has already gone to a distance that cannot be touched.
Yuan Qianmu died, and Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't want to accept it, so he could only accept it.
Akai Hideichi generally accepted it from the bottom of his heart, but he still left a glimmer of hope. As long as this glimmer of hope is still there, he can continue to move forward unswervingly.
"Luchuan... No, Mr. Zhu Fu, I didn't see Qianmu die with my own eyes, so I will firmly believe that he is still alive. As long as we destroy the organization and solve all the mysteries, we will definitely see him again."
"Because, I accepted his gift, and he also accepted my blessing. He is not a man who will easily break the promise."
The green-eyed man was resolute, causing the other person to startle, and seemed to bring back some brighter memories at last.
The atmosphere in the alley became slightly lighter. The two people who both came for the same person didn't mind talking about light topics in the heavy gap.
"The gift...you also received it. Everyone has a share. I don't know what to say about him. What he gave me is not a real thing."
"Well, I got cufflinks he made."
"...cufflinks?"
Akai Hideo took out the sapphire cufflinks that he carried with him, and Zhu Fu Jingguang took it and looked at it in his hand.
For some reason, Zhu Fujun's expression changed slightly, and he was silent for at least ten seconds: "..."
"Akii-kun, can I ask again... You and Qianmu became acquainted, probably because you got along with each other day and night in that research institute. After only one year, did you trust each other and become good friends?"
"Not very long. It could have been faster, but because I didn't understand his hint in time, I wasted a lot of time."
Hideo Akai was deeply impressed by that time, so he didn't need to recall it: "About a month or so?"
"...one, one month?"
"Ah."
"Really, I don't mind you getting too close at all, and he won't be angry if you knock on the door to wake him up. If you want to find something, you can definitely find him, and you often cook together, take a walk... that kind of trust relationship?"
"Um... what's wrong?"
"……………………"
Knowing that Yuan Qianmu was suffering in a place that he couldn't see, Zhu Fujun, a strong man who didn't even falter, didn't know what happened, his tired eyes suddenly became a little hollow and straight.
"This way...a month, this way..."
"It's okay, Akai-kun, the truth I learned today... Well, it's a bit of a blow, but I can digest it by myself... That's right, even if I can't digest it myself, I have to let others..."
The second half of Zhu Fu Jingguang's sentence turned into a muttering to himself, and only he himself knew what he was muttering.
Chi Jingxiu was quite puzzled by the strange eyes he was staring at her, but he didn't feel the piercing killing intent when he first met him. He could only understand it as the deep friendship between Zhu Fujun and Qianmu. The topic still made Zhu Fujun feel hurt.
"Mr. Akai, you are right. I didn't see him die with my own eyes, so I firmly believe that he is not dead-that slippery, hateful, heartless guy who turns his elbows outward, I believe he will come back... If he dares to come back, he will definitely come back. Hold him tight!"
"If you meet him, tie him up with a rope first?" Akai Shuichi made a very rare joke.
He thought it was a joke, but Mr. Zhu Fu who was inexplicably wrong was very serious.
"Yes." Zhu Fu Jingguang said, "but the rope is tied tightly to the Taile man. He is not in good health and cannot suffer too much. If it is loosened, he will let him go. Use this, remember to pad the wrist softly. Bu, don't hold it too tight, and..."
After speaking, he also gave a gift to the FBI who came from afar, and said that he sincerely hoped that it would be useful one day.
Police officer Zhu Fu, who had suffered a heavy blow, staggered and walked away, still whispering:
Ten million - ten thousand, use it.
……
"..."
Qian Mu raised his eyebrows, raised his handcuffed hands, and couldn't help curling the corners of his lips.
Almost thought Akai Shuichi knew the identity of his BOSS, and was about to capture him on the spot and send him to the electric chair.
Well, I have to say that this kind of unexpected development is really interesting.
It seems that the reunion gift prepared for the far-sighted Jing Guang needs to be a little more generous.
Qian Mu thought with a smile.
"Just a pair of handcuffs may not be enough. If I want to run, it's easy." He sat safely on the swivel chair, looked up at Hideo Akai, "It's better to just handcuff one hand and handcuff the other hand." Locked in... Well, what do you think of that bar in front of the window?"
"Enough is enough, it's just a formality after all." Akai Hideichi said, "The blessings that Zhu Fujun entrusted me to send to you, you have to send them, as long as you have the meaning."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your kindness, and thank you Jing for your kindness. I received the gift...so, let's untie it first?"
Qian Mu shook the silver ring metal hanging on his wrist, and suddenly there was a clattering sound.
"No."
"Ok?"
"Ah, it's like this. Mr. Zhu Fu didn't give me the key before he left. But it won't bother you. Find someone to cut off the handcuffs for you. Did you throw away the key to the pair of handcuffs?"
"On purpose."
"Not counting, fiftyfifty?"
"Okay." Qianmu put down his hand, raised his slender right leg against the side of the windbreaker, and overlapped with his left leg in a leisurely and contented gesture, "Let's start your interrogation, Investigator Akai, I, who have nowhere to escape , we can only cooperate as much as possible.”
Do your best, not try your best, and the difference between one word and the other is huge.
Akai Shuichi didn't seem to notice this small difference.
"The first question, how have you been in the past three years?"
"It's a question with an obvious answer. Investigator, your level is not very good. You can tell from the way I look, I'm doing pretty well."
"The second question, have you been hurt in the past three years?"
"No, the past three years should be the most relaxing three years I have ever spent."
"The third question... Is your answer just now telling the truth?"
When Akai Shuichi asked this sentence, it meant that he had already decided that what Qian Mu said was definitely not the truth.
But during the slow questioning period, he searched with his eyes that never let go of a trace of abnormality, but failed to find any flaws.
The red-haired man took off his sunglasses, revealing the same red eyes as three years ago.
Akai Shuichi didn't find even a trace of wandering from the eyes that were always soft after meeting frankly.
The doubts in his heart deepened, and he turned to look elsewhere.
The man's appearance has changed a little, not just the maturity accumulated by time, after all, he has changed from being exhausted and dying to full of vitality.
There is no paleness and morbidity between the brows, the high nose bridge, the deep pupils, the plump and moist cheeks, and the thin lips with blood at last...all show the fact that he is living a good life, otherwise how could he "live" Come here" and become so healthy?
All the details are being told to Akai Shuichi, and Qianmu's answer is all the truth.
But he still wouldn't believe it, and didn't even need to use his intuition.
Being questioned about his sincerity, Qian Mu acted frankly and helplessly: "It's the truth, you have to have some confidence in your observation skills."
"The last three years."
"I'm doing fine, there's no pressure, it's just so lighthearted."
Not true.
Yes, the last three years.He wasn't lying, it was the solid truth.
Akai Shuichi frowned indistinctly.
Qian Mu asked him to believe in his own observation, but instead he began to doubt his eyes.
Because he still couldn't see anything wrong, whether it was the red-haired man's eyes, expression, or the tone he spoke slowly, there was no trace of a lie.
how can that be?
Qian Mu was entangled with the man, anyway, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't think of the reason.
After Akai Hideichi had enough scrutiny, at least on the surface, he gave up on further investigation, and then he asked Shi Shiran, "Are there any questions?"
"..."
From the indifferent smile of the red-haired man, Akai Shuichi tasted a trace of confidence.
The sniper's proud eye was stabbed, but since there was nothing he could do about this cunning man for the time being, Akai Hideichi decided to write it down first and count it later.
"One last question."
"uh-huh?"
"I don't ask questions that are useless. Then, Yuan Qianmu, you can answer me without any scruples—how can I help you?"
"..."
From the man's dark green pupils, Qian Mu seemed to have captured many, many, long time... I don't know how long ago, he had seen several times of scorching light.
Akai Shuichi knew that Yuan Qianmu had to hide his identity because Yuan Qianmu was now showing up as Ezaki Yuan.
And he, who can't openly recover his real body, will take the initiative to show his flaws to himself, and he must have his intentions.
He may be in deep trouble as he was at the beginning, and he needs his own help.
Or maybe it's not so complicated, it's just that after going around in circles, I finally want to recognize each other.
But, who knows if this guy with a criminal record is really in trouble and will ask for help? Akai Shuichi doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, so he can only ask himself first.
"Whether I can do it or not, you have to say it so I know what to do. You can start talking."
"As expected of you, you are still so confident." Qian Mu chuckled lightly.
"Since I've been seen through, I won't be polite to you. There are some things that need your cooperation."
Akai Shuichi's expression suddenly became serious.
Qian Mu restrained his smile and became dignified.
"As long as you can do it, even if it goes against your will, are you willing to help me?"
"of course."
The cufflinks are still on his sleeves, which is an unchanging promise.
"Okay, I see."
The red-haired man spoke with a heavy voice, as if he was speaking of the most solemn request in his life: "Xiuyi, can you please fulfill a long-cherished wish that I will never forget—"
"Do you want to make a group debut with some two idiots?"
Akai Shuichi: "..."
"is it okay?"
"...I don't understand what you mean, what kind of group are you forming?"
"Well, have you ever heard of an idol group? Their main business is song and dance performances, and they deliver love and beautiful positive energy to the world."
Akai Shuichi looked at Qianmu in silence.
"Can't you?" Qian Mu's expression was still normal.
"..."
"Sure enough..."
"If it is of practical help to you, you can. But you can't use the image of Akai Shuichi. The current identity of Okiya Subaru can be considered, but there are certain risks. Is this demand urgent? It is best to postpone it until the end of the action against the organization. , If you are in a hurry, I will start planning from now. There are two more people? Who?"
Akai Shuichi, this amazing man, is actually serious.
Just as Qian Mu finished marveling in his heart, he paused when he heard the FBI trump card who had quickly completed deep consideration, and said in a more serious tone just now: "It should be really helpful to you, not just to amuse me, Mr. Yuan ?”
"Really, as long as I can see the day when you guys debut as a group, my illness will be cured immediately."
"Do you think... I believe it?"
"Haha~ It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I believe in you."
After Qian Mu laughed, he suddenly changed his voice: "Speaking of which, I really have an important favor and I need your help."
This time, his expression was more serious than when he was joking before. If Akai Shuichi was confused by his erratic changes, he might think that he wanted to change the topic so he could get away.
"Akai Shuichi, do you trust me?"
The red-haired man stood up with an invisible arrogance as if he had everything under control.
"This time, I believe it."
"Then let me tell you, I know your father's whereabouts."
When the black-haired man's pupils shrank slightly, Qianmu said again: "But you can't recognize him now, I need to make some more arrangements so that you can get your wish and take your family away."
Akai Hideichi didn't ask the reason, just nodded heavily.
"Okay. What do I need to do?"
"It's very simple. First of all, don't reveal my identity to others. After that, you only need to..."
Finished softly.
"—Okay, the reunion chat ends here, and the time..."
Before Qianmu finished speaking, Akai Xiuyi continued: "It's getting late, you should rest. Where do you live now, I'll take you back."
"I see, does it look like you need someone to escort you home? It's more like you want to be escorted into the police station and surrender yourself." Qian Mu sighed, "I want to ask you, do you want to go to see Zhibao with me? By now, we should still be able to have dinner."
"You didn't have dinner?"
"No, isn't this waiting for you to come to the door?"
"That's just right, I didn't eat, let's go." In fact, the man who came after eating did not change his face.
"Let's settle this first, you're not afraid of scaring Zhibao." Qian Mu hinted at the "gift" still in his hands.
The FBI is proficient in all kinds of lockpicking techniques, and handcuffs are nothing to worry about.
Qian Mu watched as he took out a wire, drilled it slightly into the keyhole of the handcuffs, and with a click, the restraint was released.
But when the handcuffs were removed from Qianmu's hand, Akai Shuichi grabbed his left wrist and took off the glove together with the steel ring.
The mottled cracks covering the back and palm of the hand were all exposed to the eyes of the FBI.
In addition, there is a ring with a simple style, which is tightly fastened at the bottom of the thumb that is too white because it rarely sees sunlight. Reflecting the light coming in from the window, it shines with a bright silver luster.
The wear marks on the surface of this ring are relatively serious, and the repair marks on the pits and depressions can only be barely seen if you look closely.
"Feel sorry."
Qian Mu's eyes also fell on the ring. After returning to this world, he retrieved the ring from Belmode and replaced the imitation that had been worn on his finger for many years: "Because of some accidents... the ring was relatively damaged. Seriously, others have repaired it for me, and it can only be repaired to this extent."
"As long as it's still there." There is another meaning in Akai Shuichi's words, but now it is unnecessary to explain.
"Mr. Yuan, have you forgotten any important explanations? For example, these..."
"Oh, this is the point, Shiho will be angry if you don't go there any more. Subaru-kun, don't hesitate to put on your pink wig, oh yes, where did you lose the face that helped you reduce your age by ten years? Such a big man Still lost everything, want me to help you find it?"
……
After bidding farewell to her sister in the digital world and setting a time to meet next time, Haibara Ai returned to the real world.
I'm a little happy... Of course it's because I saw my sister who looks good, and it doesn't matter that Brother Qianmu is finally willing to have a showdown with her.
A genius scientist is already a mature adult. He can calmly accept the magical fact that he has turned into a seven-year-old boy, and he can also calmly accept that his brother has come back from the dead.
Brother Qianmu has not revealed where he has been for the past three years, and Hui Yuanai is not in a hurry.
At that time, the 12-year-old girl couldn't control him, and was helpless to deal with his physical and mental illness. She could only wrap herself in the bed uneasily, avoiding the haggard appearance of the man.
It's different now, and the situation is bound to be reversed. She can think of countless ways to force the man to tell the truth.
"Ah."
Thinking of a certain elder brother who still treats her like a little girl, hiding his so-called "secret", only the petite scientist let out a cold snort.
During the afternoon tea time when the digital world gathered for a short time, Hui Yuan Ai gave the man a little face due to his sister who didn't know about it, and didn't burst out the emotions accumulated for three years.
If it is still unexpected at this time, at least half of the reason for the man's early departure is to appease her anger, then Hui Yuan Ai is not Hui Yuan Ai.
Hui Yuanai is not at the doctor's house now, she pressed the doctor to finish the physical examination during the day, and the doctor was left by the enthusiastic medical center staff to visit for a day.
Later, she was taken here by Brother Qianmu. It is said that this clean Japanese-style mansion is Brother Qianmu's real residence.
"The real residence...huh."
Hui Yuanai turned off the computer that the man brought to her room specially, pushed open the door, and walked around in the empty house.
She didn't have any thought of being cautious from the outside, as if this was her home, but she was new here, so she had to look around with critical eyes first, and then compare it with the house where she and the man lived for several years.
In terms of the degree of luxury, there is definitely not as good as this one—it should be said that it is far behind, and it is not an order of magnitude at all.
The first judgment result made the genius scientist quite dissatisfied. In her heart, the "home" that was not refined enough was the most perfect.
Although the interior space is small
"Long time no see, Rye."
When the man wearing brown sunglasses said that with a smile, Akai Shuichi's eyes flashed a strange light.
It was as if the dead branches buried by his own hands were revived silently, the branches actively pierced through the snow that was pressed on the surface, and fell into his green eyes that were covered in black by frost and snow.
He can finally stretch out his hands to scrape away the thick snow, bring the branches and leaves back to the sun, and protect the perhaps exhausted it back to health, and grow into what it should have been.
only--
Some surprises.
It should be said that it was very unexpected.
The new branches and leaves are stronger than he thought, and they don't need anyone to guard them.
What catches Akai Hideo's eyes is a towering giant tree. Even if you look up, you can't see how wide its tangled and extended branches are. As long as everyone approaches the center, they will be placed in the deeper and darker shade of the tree.
No one can know everything that a man hides in the darkness, but one thing is enough:
Safe in the shade.
As long as you can come here, you don't have to fear the dangers from the outside world.
... He has changed quite a lot, but his essence has not changed at all.
Akai Hideichi thought.
I finally confirmed the answer that I had guessed for a long time. Next, what should the FBI, who has been suffering from inner torment until today, do?
A slightly gentler way is to skillfully suppress the man who was still full of lies before breaking up, and give a rich speech lesson, so that he who always understates things and says nothing is wrong, learn to be obedient, and the key point is to learn to put yourself first in everything.
But since it is useless to say it, including Shuichi Akai himself, he is also the kind of person who will never learn to protect himself first, so this plan was abandoned first.
That leaves only a less benign solution.
"..."
"..."
Qian Mu accepted the wordless stare from the FBI for more than 10 minutes.
The black-haired man's eyes didn't look sharp, nor did he have any hidden hints, they were frank and direct, as if he just wanted to look at him.
However, no hint is the most obvious hint.
The red-haired man who can read people's hearts the most, and is now the best at pretending to be foolish, laughed in his heart.
The thin-skinned "Ketor" who put down the disguise is no longer there, and it's useless for Hideo Akai to use this set to deal with him again and again. He is quite patient, and he can completely keep eye contact with men until the next morning.
Akai Hideichi probably knew it too, but he did it openly, betting on another choice proposition.
What a dodgy FBI.
Qian Mu also took a few more serious glances at Chi Jingxiu, wrote down the face that had been thrown away and replaced it in the blurred memory picture one by one, and repaired the missing piece of the puzzle again.
After that, he stopped staring at men.
"Aren't you satisfied with what I said just now? Hey, let me start over."
Qian Mu changed his words in a polite manner: "Long time no see, Xiuyi."
With an intimacy that he couldn't shout out even if he died before, he was full of smiles.
Akai Shuichi's eyes widened slightly for a moment.
However, this man was not an idle person at all, apart from being surprised, he was hardly in a daze.
It didn't matter if he wasn't used to it at first, but he got used to it later on, just like he was not used to expressing concern to people frankly.
Therefore, the FBI ace with green pupils smiled and responded very naturally: "Yeah. Long time no see, Qianmu."
He stretched out his left hand to Qianmu.
Qian Mu thought that he also wanted to satisfy the sense of ritual, and he wanted to shake hands with him after reuniting after a long absence, so he extended his left hand over.
"Crack."
This was a voice that surprised even Qian Mu, who is now quite accomplished.
"...?" He looked at the handcuffs on his wrist, "Can I ask, where did you get this unfriendly reunion gift?"
"A few months ago, I met Lu Chuan. You should be familiar with Lu Chuan Hang and Zhu Fu Jingguang."
"Green River..."
Qian Mu retrieved some bits and pieces of memory. It turned out that the word was "hang" and not "light". It's strange, when did he forget it--it doesn't matter, it's a pseudonym anyway.
"Zhu Fu, Jing Guang."
He recited the name silently, while thinking about it, he let Akai Hideo cuff his right hand as well.
"It was Zhu Fujun who contacted me on the initiative. After mentioning your name, we made an appointment to meet at a place."
Akai Shuichi omitted many details before the meeting, the time span was from three months ago to three years ago.
three years ago.
It took two days to escape, and ten days to evade the organization's frantic pursuit. In the early morning of No. 15, Akai Shuichi learned of the death of "Ketor".
Because he hadn't given up on the idea of taking Qian Mu away, he contacted the headquarters immediately after he was safe, hoping to continue searching for information on the organization's important researcher "Ke Tor".
Akai Shuichi originally thought that it would be difficult to know the current situation of that person. The organization hid that person very deeply and would not let his news be easily exposed, but the news came faster than expected.
Before Akai Shuichi saw the news excerpt, he had an ominous premonition of extremely depressed heart.
After reading it, he felt slow again, too slow.
Eleven days later—no, what he lost was a long time that would fill the rest of his life with self-blame and regret.
Akai Hideichi sat against the wall of the safe house, with one leg bent, and his hand holding the cigarette that hadn't been broken all night would occasionally rest on his knee. He looked up at the moon outside the window, as if he had returned to the night when he parted.
Going back to that night, he would not believe Qian Mu's words, he would no longer believe that there might be a little bit of kindness in the organization, he would—
Will he take Qian Mu back to the United States regardless of the consequences, even if he knocks him out and drags him away?
Even after making this meaningless assumption afterwards, Akai Shuichi still couldn't give a definite answer.
When faced with important choices, Akai Shuichi is a man who is so calm and cold-blooded.
Even if time returns to that night, his thinking may still not change: take Qian Mu away with his wounded body, the result will almost certainly be that neither of them can leave, and they will die together on the eve of dawn.Leave Qian Mu behind, and believe in his unequivocal "nothing", each of them still has a glimmer of life, and there is a chance to see each other again.
He will weigh the pros and cons and choose the better one from the two bad options.
but.
The second choice is indeed better than the first one, but the follow-up is that Qian Mu will die in the explosion on the top of the Ferris wheel.
What kind of ending is good?Can the extra four days be regarded as the time he won back from the "fate" choice?
Even if Qian Mu was brought back to the United States, if he couldn't find a cure, then Qian Mu would still die. Could it be that after he made a choice for him without authorization, he wanted to help him choose a better way to die?
Akai Shuichi's inner world is always filled with these "reasons", which used to be a sharp weapon to help him walk better in the dark, but now he loathes his nature for no reason.
In any case, the brothers who are regarded as family members are now dead because of him.
Akai Shuichi received unprecedented setbacks and pain.
Although the cigarette butts thrown on the ground were cleaned out in time after smoking, he looked very calm for a long time, but like other people who knew about someone's death, something happened to the black-haired man A change that cannot be ignored.
Three months ago, Akai Shuichi had just returned to the island country from the United States. Not only did he still hold the goal of finding his father's whereabouts, but he also brought with him a fire of revenge that had burned for three full years.
He did not hesitate to destroy himself, but also to crush the colossus called the Black Organization.
It was at this time that Akai Shuichi received a contact from an unexpected person.
It's hard to imagine how that man went around and found him who had a huge gap. Akai Shuichi's first reaction was to admire the courage and perseverance of "Lvchuan Hang".
"Lvchuan Airlines" contacted him, which was obviously a private operation under great pressure, and the hardships involved need not be said.
Naturally, the man didn't come to him specifically to catch up with him because of the friendship he had when he was an undercover agent. At the beginning, he pointed out that he was a good friend of "Ke Tor" and wanted to know something about him.
With just this sentence, Akai Shuichi came to his senses, and the little puzzles that were missed many years ago were completely completed.
"Lvchuan Hang" is a good friend of "Ketor", and Qian Mu, who pretends to be "Doctor", temporarily designs a fake death scene to let "Lvchuan Hang" leave the organization after revealing the truth.
And the identity of "Ketor" is fake, that is to say, Qian Mu is very likely to be an undercover agent who used a fake identity to break into the organization just like "Lvchuan Hang".
They are all members of the island country police.
Unlike the "Green River Airlines" who was lucky enough to run into Qianmu, Qianmu himself was very unlucky. He joined the organization as a researcher, but because he was suddenly involved in secrets beyond imagination, he was forced to die by the organization. get away.
Akai Hideichi didn't expect that after thinking so much, he still didn't think too much. The pressure Qian Mu was under at that time was even more unspeakable.
As an undercover agent, he could fully understand that person's pain at that time.
No wonder when he met Qian Mu two years later, he was exhausted and desperate, and he leaked important secrets to himself so easily.
No wonder when he promised to take him away, he reacted so coldly and stagnantly.He couldn't go back, and he didn't plan to leave, perhaps as early as then, he was ready to sink in the mud.
Shuichi Akai had guessed whether "Lvchuan Hang" suddenly wanted to see him because he wanted to avenge his friend. After all, from their perspective, FBI undercover Shuichi Akai had an unshirkable responsibility for the death of the police undercover "Ketor".
Therefore, in the first sentence of the secret meeting, Akai Shuichi said: "I don't mind if you point the gun at me, but not now. Cooperation and information exchange are the best choices that benefit both you and me at present, Midorikawa What do you think, sir?"
"I think so too, that's why I appear here."
The black-haired man stared straight at his seemingly cold face with sharp eyes, and said after a while: "However, I did consider shooting you when I saw you—as long as you show even a little indifference to that person, I will see you on your way, Lord Zhu Xing."
"Lvchuan Airlines" probably has very complicated perceptions of Shuichi Akai.
For quite a long time, like his younger brother, he locked the pain and resentment of losing an important person on the FBI who fled.
But he is different from his childhood friend, there is always a strange dream that repeats repeatedly at night, as if it is an important reminder to him.
The man gradually recognized the chaotic scene in the dream. He committed suicide. There was no doubt. The admission should be Rye himself.
Out of this unscientific discovery, the man regained his composure and began to analyze one by one.
Regardless of Akai Shuichi's weird logic of action, he can suspect anyone, but he shouldn't doubt his friends. If Akai Shuichi really gets Qianmu's approval, then he can suppress his resentment and see that man rationally Let's talk about it later.
If Akai Shuichi dares to come, his suspiciousness can be lowered appropriately. If he dares to be sincere and tell his friend the information about the time before his death without concealment, then the man will feel better, thinking that maybe there is really something in it Misunderstand.
——If you are not sincere...or if you just see the plain, in words, you just treat the deceased as a helpless stranger who is only "regretful" when he dies...
Shuichi Akai, a man who wasn't sure if he could keep his cool, or what reaction he'd prefer to see.
In the end, what he saw was a man who looked like he was looking in a mirror.
It seems to be calm, but in fact there are dangerous undercurrents under the water surface. As long as you have not drowned, you will patiently wait for the opportunity to drag the crow that finally falls into the deep sea and die together.
Also understand what, the man has nothing to say.
After a period of dead silence, the two people in the dark alley spoke again, their attitude obviously much more serious.
The man revealed his real name, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was a public security officer, and was once a liaison officer of "Ketor". He wanted to know what happened to "Ketor" before he died, and whether there was any abnormality on his body, so Akai Shuichi defected hastily What is the reason, the more detailed the better.
Akai Shuichi naturally told him what he knew, from the beginning when Qianmu was locked up in an underground research institute far away from the urban area and accepted his own "surveillance", to the experiment that had not made progress for a long time, and to Qianmu's last paragraph Time, abnormally bad physical and mental state...
When it came to the last point, Akai Hideichi hesitated.
The man is keenly aware that Zhu Fu Jingming is not only Qianmu's friend, but also his liaison officer during the undercover period, but he has no idea about Qianmu's physical condition, only knows about the last day when Qianmu appeared in the eyes of others , looks very haggard.
It can only be that someone deliberately avoided it, and the intention is very obvious.
"If you know anything else, tell me everything." Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes were heavy, and his words were extremely tough.
Akai Shuichi was silent for a moment, and told part of the truth.
He only said that after the red-haired man left the research institute, he was still under extremely strict surveillance. Under the tremendous pressure, he became thinner and weaker day by day, and his body gradually became weaker. He didn't mention the incurable disease.
Because it was only part of it, the man in front of him froze in place like a fool.
Afterwards, his raised cat eyes suddenly dimmed, and his figure was almost unstable—of course, he soon returned to normal, and he would not reveal his almost collapsed side in front of outsiders.
"...I understand. So, you acted hastily to compete with the organization for time, and your original intention was to save him...right?"
"...Yes. Sorry, I failed twice."
"I... sorry, I should have said to you, I'm sorry, Akai-kun, I misunderstood you for a long time." Zhu Fujingguang took a shallow breath to hide his slightly trembling cheek muscles, "It is our responsibility to rescue him You shouldn't be taking the risk of one party's responsibility... Thank you."
"I'm not qualified to be thanked by you. Even if I try, it can't change the fact that I have implicated him."
"No, at least you tried to save him, and I..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't finish his sentence, the wry smile on his face was uglier than crying.
The two men fell silent again.
"That guy...although it's useless, I still want to scold him severely."
Zhu Fu Jingguang's voice was dry, and when he spoke again, he really cursed secretly, but the voice was so low that others could not hear it clearly.
"You who know his real name should understand how I feel."
"Yuanqianmu is the most cunning idiot I have ever seen. Do you think he is powerful? He is indeed very powerful in many aspects, especially in avoiding trouble. I can't keep up with him. But he always likes to do some scaring People's affairs, keep everyone in the dark, and turn the shock into a surprise."
"This guy, when it comes to the danger he should slyly avoid, he still dares to mess around... Now, after making a fool of us on his own initiative, he first got a favor that he couldn't give up, and then fled to Where people can't catch it—I don't even have a chance to catch him by the collar and reprimand him!"
Akai Hideichi listened silently, and he fully agreed with Zhu Fu Jingguang's implicitly painful complaints.
Yuan Qianmu was indeed cunning and self-willed, especially in the last period of time, he was so self-assertive to the extreme, completely ignoring the grief of those who learned the truth afterwards.
In addition to the pain, there is even more anger, wishing to immediately pull him over to teach him a lesson, he has already gone to a distance that cannot be touched.
Yuan Qianmu died, and Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't want to accept it, so he could only accept it.
Akai Hideichi generally accepted it from the bottom of his heart, but he still left a glimmer of hope. As long as this glimmer of hope is still there, he can continue to move forward unswervingly.
"Luchuan... No, Mr. Zhu Fu, I didn't see Qianmu die with my own eyes, so I will firmly believe that he is still alive. As long as we destroy the organization and solve all the mysteries, we will definitely see him again."
"Because, I accepted his gift, and he also accepted my blessing. He is not a man who will easily break the promise."
The green-eyed man was resolute, causing the other person to startle, and seemed to bring back some brighter memories at last.
The atmosphere in the alley became slightly lighter. The two people who both came for the same person didn't mind talking about light topics in the heavy gap.
"The gift...you also received it. Everyone has a share. I don't know what to say about him. What he gave me is not a real thing."
"Well, I got cufflinks he made."
"...cufflinks?"
Akai Hideo took out the sapphire cufflinks that he carried with him, and Zhu Fu Jingguang took it and looked at it in his hand.
For some reason, Zhu Fujun's expression changed slightly, and he was silent for at least ten seconds: "..."
"Akii-kun, can I ask again... You and Qianmu became acquainted, probably because you got along with each other day and night in that research institute. After only one year, did you trust each other and become good friends?"
"Not very long. It could have been faster, but because I didn't understand his hint in time, I wasted a lot of time."
Hideo Akai was deeply impressed by that time, so he didn't need to recall it: "About a month or so?"
"...one, one month?"
"Ah."
"Really, I don't mind you getting too close at all, and he won't be angry if you knock on the door to wake him up. If you want to find something, you can definitely find him, and you often cook together, take a walk... that kind of trust relationship?"
"Um... what's wrong?"
"……………………"
Knowing that Yuan Qianmu was suffering in a place that he couldn't see, Zhu Fujun, a strong man who didn't even falter, didn't know what happened, his tired eyes suddenly became a little hollow and straight.
"This way...a month, this way..."
"It's okay, Akai-kun, the truth I learned today... Well, it's a bit of a blow, but I can digest it by myself... That's right, even if I can't digest it myself, I have to let others..."
The second half of Zhu Fu Jingguang's sentence turned into a muttering to himself, and only he himself knew what he was muttering.
Chi Jingxiu was quite puzzled by the strange eyes he was staring at her, but he didn't feel the piercing killing intent when he first met him. He could only understand it as the deep friendship between Zhu Fujun and Qianmu. The topic still made Zhu Fujun feel hurt.
"Mr. Akai, you are right. I didn't see him die with my own eyes, so I firmly believe that he is not dead-that slippery, hateful, heartless guy who turns his elbows outward, I believe he will come back... If he dares to come back, he will definitely come back. Hold him tight!"
"If you meet him, tie him up with a rope first?" Akai Shuichi made a very rare joke.
He thought it was a joke, but Mr. Zhu Fu who was inexplicably wrong was very serious.
"Yes." Zhu Fu Jingguang said, "but the rope is tied tightly to the Taile man. He is not in good health and cannot suffer too much. If it is loosened, he will let him go. Use this, remember to pad the wrist softly. Bu, don't hold it too tight, and..."
After speaking, he also gave a gift to the FBI who came from afar, and said that he sincerely hoped that it would be useful one day.
Police officer Zhu Fu, who had suffered a heavy blow, staggered and walked away, still whispering:
Ten million - ten thousand, use it.
……
"..."
Qian Mu raised his eyebrows, raised his handcuffed hands, and couldn't help curling the corners of his lips.
Almost thought Akai Shuichi knew the identity of his BOSS, and was about to capture him on the spot and send him to the electric chair.
Well, I have to say that this kind of unexpected development is really interesting.
It seems that the reunion gift prepared for the far-sighted Jing Guang needs to be a little more generous.
Qian Mu thought with a smile.
"Just a pair of handcuffs may not be enough. If I want to run, it's easy." He sat safely on the swivel chair, looked up at Hideo Akai, "It's better to just handcuff one hand and handcuff the other hand." Locked in... Well, what do you think of that bar in front of the window?"
"Enough is enough, it's just a formality after all." Akai Hideichi said, "The blessings that Zhu Fujun entrusted me to send to you, you have to send them, as long as you have the meaning."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your kindness, and thank you Jing for your kindness. I received the gift...so, let's untie it first?"
Qian Mu shook the silver ring metal hanging on his wrist, and suddenly there was a clattering sound.
"No."
"Ok?"
"Ah, it's like this. Mr. Zhu Fu didn't give me the key before he left. But it won't bother you. Find someone to cut off the handcuffs for you. Did you throw away the key to the pair of handcuffs?"
"On purpose."
"Not counting, fiftyfifty?"
"Okay." Qianmu put down his hand, raised his slender right leg against the side of the windbreaker, and overlapped with his left leg in a leisurely and contented gesture, "Let's start your interrogation, Investigator Akai, I, who have nowhere to escape , we can only cooperate as much as possible.”
Do your best, not try your best, and the difference between one word and the other is huge.
Akai Shuichi didn't seem to notice this small difference.
"The first question, how have you been in the past three years?"
"It's a question with an obvious answer. Investigator, your level is not very good. You can tell from the way I look, I'm doing pretty well."
"The second question, have you been hurt in the past three years?"
"No, the past three years should be the most relaxing three years I have ever spent."
"The third question... Is your answer just now telling the truth?"
When Akai Shuichi asked this sentence, it meant that he had already decided that what Qian Mu said was definitely not the truth.
But during the slow questioning period, he searched with his eyes that never let go of a trace of abnormality, but failed to find any flaws.
The red-haired man took off his sunglasses, revealing the same red eyes as three years ago.
Akai Shuichi didn't find even a trace of wandering from the eyes that were always soft after meeting frankly.
The doubts in his heart deepened, and he turned to look elsewhere.
The man's appearance has changed a little, not just the maturity accumulated by time, after all, he has changed from being exhausted and dying to full of vitality.
There is no paleness and morbidity between the brows, the high nose bridge, the deep pupils, the plump and moist cheeks, and the thin lips with blood at last...all show the fact that he is living a good life, otherwise how could he "live" Come here" and become so healthy?
All the details are being told to Akai Shuichi, and Qianmu's answer is all the truth.
But he still wouldn't believe it, and didn't even need to use his intuition.
Being questioned about his sincerity, Qian Mu acted frankly and helplessly: "It's the truth, you have to have some confidence in your observation skills."
"The last three years."
"I'm doing fine, there's no pressure, it's just so lighthearted."
Not true.
Yes, the last three years.He wasn't lying, it was the solid truth.
Akai Shuichi frowned indistinctly.
Qian Mu asked him to believe in his own observation, but instead he began to doubt his eyes.
Because he still couldn't see anything wrong, whether it was the red-haired man's eyes, expression, or the tone he spoke slowly, there was no trace of a lie.
how can that be?
Qian Mu was entangled with the man, anyway, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't think of the reason.
After Akai Hideichi had enough scrutiny, at least on the surface, he gave up on further investigation, and then he asked Shi Shiran, "Are there any questions?"
"..."
From the indifferent smile of the red-haired man, Akai Shuichi tasted a trace of confidence.
The sniper's proud eye was stabbed, but since there was nothing he could do about this cunning man for the time being, Akai Hideichi decided to write it down first and count it later.
"One last question."
"uh-huh?"
"I don't ask questions that are useless. Then, Yuan Qianmu, you can answer me without any scruples—how can I help you?"
"..."
From the man's dark green pupils, Qian Mu seemed to have captured many, many, long time... I don't know how long ago, he had seen several times of scorching light.
Akai Shuichi knew that Yuan Qianmu had to hide his identity because Yuan Qianmu was now showing up as Ezaki Yuan.
And he, who can't openly recover his real body, will take the initiative to show his flaws to himself, and he must have his intentions.
He may be in deep trouble as he was at the beginning, and he needs his own help.
Or maybe it's not so complicated, it's just that after going around in circles, I finally want to recognize each other.
But, who knows if this guy with a criminal record is really in trouble and will ask for help? Akai Shuichi doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, so he can only ask himself first.
"Whether I can do it or not, you have to say it so I know what to do. You can start talking."
"As expected of you, you are still so confident." Qian Mu chuckled lightly.
"Since I've been seen through, I won't be polite to you. There are some things that need your cooperation."
Akai Shuichi's expression suddenly became serious.
Qian Mu restrained his smile and became dignified.
"As long as you can do it, even if it goes against your will, are you willing to help me?"
"of course."
The cufflinks are still on his sleeves, which is an unchanging promise.
"Okay, I see."
The red-haired man spoke with a heavy voice, as if he was speaking of the most solemn request in his life: "Xiuyi, can you please fulfill a long-cherished wish that I will never forget—"
"Do you want to make a group debut with some two idiots?"
Akai Shuichi: "..."
"is it okay?"
"...I don't understand what you mean, what kind of group are you forming?"
"Well, have you ever heard of an idol group? Their main business is song and dance performances, and they deliver love and beautiful positive energy to the world."
Akai Shuichi looked at Qianmu in silence.
"Can't you?" Qian Mu's expression was still normal.
"..."
"Sure enough..."
"If it is of practical help to you, you can. But you can't use the image of Akai Shuichi. The current identity of Okiya Subaru can be considered, but there are certain risks. Is this demand urgent? It is best to postpone it until the end of the action against the organization. , If you are in a hurry, I will start planning from now. There are two more people? Who?"
Akai Shuichi, this amazing man, is actually serious.
Just as Qian Mu finished marveling in his heart, he paused when he heard the FBI trump card who had quickly completed deep consideration, and said in a more serious tone just now: "It should be really helpful to you, not just to amuse me, Mr. Yuan ?”
"Really, as long as I can see the day when you guys debut as a group, my illness will be cured immediately."
"Do you think... I believe it?"
"Haha~ It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I believe in you."
After Qian Mu laughed, he suddenly changed his voice: "Speaking of which, I really have an important favor and I need your help."
This time, his expression was more serious than when he was joking before. If Akai Shuichi was confused by his erratic changes, he might think that he wanted to change the topic so he could get away.
"Akai Shuichi, do you trust me?"
The red-haired man stood up with an invisible arrogance as if he had everything under control.
"This time, I believe it."
"Then let me tell you, I know your father's whereabouts."
When the black-haired man's pupils shrank slightly, Qianmu said again: "But you can't recognize him now, I need to make some more arrangements so that you can get your wish and take your family away."
Akai Hideichi didn't ask the reason, just nodded heavily.
"Okay. What do I need to do?"
"It's very simple. First of all, don't reveal my identity to others. After that, you only need to..."
Finished softly.
"—Okay, the reunion chat ends here, and the time..."
Before Qianmu finished speaking, Akai Xiuyi continued: "It's getting late, you should rest. Where do you live now, I'll take you back."
"I see, does it look like you need someone to escort you home? It's more like you want to be escorted into the police station and surrender yourself." Qian Mu sighed, "I want to ask you, do you want to go to see Zhibao with me? By now, we should still be able to have dinner."
"You didn't have dinner?"
"No, isn't this waiting for you to come to the door?"
"That's just right, I didn't eat, let's go." In fact, the man who came after eating did not change his face.
"Let's settle this first, you're not afraid of scaring Zhibao." Qian Mu hinted at the "gift" still in his hands.
The FBI is proficient in all kinds of lockpicking techniques, and handcuffs are nothing to worry about.
Qian Mu watched as he took out a wire, drilled it slightly into the keyhole of the handcuffs, and with a click, the restraint was released.
But when the handcuffs were removed from Qianmu's hand, Akai Shuichi grabbed his left wrist and took off the glove together with the steel ring.
The mottled cracks covering the back and palm of the hand were all exposed to the eyes of the FBI.
In addition, there is a ring with a simple style, which is tightly fastened at the bottom of the thumb that is too white because it rarely sees sunlight. Reflecting the light coming in from the window, it shines with a bright silver luster.
The wear marks on the surface of this ring are relatively serious, and the repair marks on the pits and depressions can only be barely seen if you look closely.
"Feel sorry."
Qian Mu's eyes also fell on the ring. After returning to this world, he retrieved the ring from Belmode and replaced the imitation that had been worn on his finger for many years: "Because of some accidents... the ring was relatively damaged. Seriously, others have repaired it for me, and it can only be repaired to this extent."
"As long as it's still there." There is another meaning in Akai Shuichi's words, but now it is unnecessary to explain.
"Mr. Yuan, have you forgotten any important explanations? For example, these..."
"Oh, this is the point, Shiho will be angry if you don't go there any more. Subaru-kun, don't hesitate to put on your pink wig, oh yes, where did you lose the face that helped you reduce your age by ten years? Such a big man Still lost everything, want me to help you find it?"
……
After bidding farewell to her sister in the digital world and setting a time to meet next time, Haibara Ai returned to the real world.
I'm a little happy... Of course it's because I saw my sister who looks good, and it doesn't matter that Brother Qianmu is finally willing to have a showdown with her.
A genius scientist is already a mature adult. He can calmly accept the magical fact that he has turned into a seven-year-old boy, and he can also calmly accept that his brother has come back from the dead.
Brother Qianmu has not revealed where he has been for the past three years, and Hui Yuanai is not in a hurry.
At that time, the 12-year-old girl couldn't control him, and was helpless to deal with his physical and mental illness. She could only wrap herself in the bed uneasily, avoiding the haggard appearance of the man.
It's different now, and the situation is bound to be reversed. She can think of countless ways to force the man to tell the truth.
"Ah."
Thinking of a certain elder brother who still treats her like a little girl, hiding his so-called "secret", only the petite scientist let out a cold snort.
During the afternoon tea time when the digital world gathered for a short time, Hui Yuan Ai gave the man a little face due to his sister who didn't know about it, and didn't burst out the emotions accumulated for three years.
If it is still unexpected at this time, at least half of the reason for the man's early departure is to appease her anger, then Hui Yuan Ai is not Hui Yuan Ai.
Hui Yuanai is not at the doctor's house now, she pressed the doctor to finish the physical examination during the day, and the doctor was left by the enthusiastic medical center staff to visit for a day.
Later, she was taken here by Brother Qianmu. It is said that this clean Japanese-style mansion is Brother Qianmu's real residence.
"The real residence...huh."
Hui Yuanai turned off the computer that the man brought to her room specially, pushed open the door, and walked around in the empty house.
She didn't have any thought of being cautious from the outside, as if this was her home, but she was new here, so she had to look around with critical eyes first, and then compare it with the house where she and the man lived for several years.
In terms of the degree of luxury, there is definitely not as good as this one—it should be said that it is far behind, and it is not an order of magnitude at all.
The first judgment result made the genius scientist quite dissatisfied. In her heart, the "home" that was not refined enough was the most perfect.
Although the interior space is small
