The hotel where the FBI stayed wasn't top notch, but it wasn't too bad either.

The room assigned to Li Jia was on a floor full of FBI residents, so there was no doubt about its safety.

It's just that "Chuya" and Edogawa Conan all left the guest room, and she was left here alone, and she felt a little uneasy and indescribably uneasy in her heart.

Just like her mood when she left Aichi Prefecture to go to Mihua Town, Tokyo, she felt that the world was very big but there was no place around her where she could stop, rest and relax.

"Miss Fujimine, it's time to come out for lunch." An indistinct voice came from across the door.

She woke up, subconsciously looked up at the clock on the wall: "...ah, no, I'm not going out for dinner."

Unknowingly, a few hours passed by, and the two who left did not come back, probably because they were really caught by something.

She hasn't eaten anything since morning, her stomach is very empty, and now she is not in the mood to eat, so let's eat together when "Chuya" comes back.

The people outside the door couldn't hear her answer clearly, so they knocked on the door several times: "Miss Fujimine? Miss Fujimine?"

She sighed softly, opened part of the door, looked up and said, "Sorry, I don't have much appetite and don't want to go out to eat."

The tall and strong foreign man showed a embarrassed look, and said: "But Mr. Zhongyuan asked us to take you downstairs for dinner."

He watched her hiding behind the door with only half of her face showing a vigilant look, touched her nose in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Zhongyuan said that Miss Fujimine would definitely not go downstairs to eat if no one called you."

Especially in such a dangerous moment like now, Li Jia would rather go hungry than bother others to protect her. She just wanted to wait for the familiar people to come back and bring something to eat before perfunctory.

"Zhongye" obviously also knew that she got up late today and encountered a sniper without even having breakfast, and was hurriedly picked up by the FBI.

If you put off eating lunch and dinner, you will be uncomfortably hungry and may cause stomach pain and cramps.

Li Jia hesitated for a moment: "Can you show me your ID?"

If it is the FBI, they should carry the identity card of the FBI search officer with them like the police officers of the first search section of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, and without hesitation took out his FBI ID and turned over the identity page.

Both the demeanor and the photo of her identity were not fake, Li Jia apologized in a low voice and took off the anti-theft chain of the guest room, ready to go out with him: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

She must have thought too much.

As Edogawa Conan said, there are people from the FBI outside the door, and almost all of her room is surrounded by FBI investigators, so it is impossible for any dangerous person to appear.

Maybe "Zhong Ye" really couldn't get away, so he asked someone to take her out for dinner.

"Isn't that smart boy coming out together?" Li looked at the closed door of the guest room. The little girl opened the door just now with a vigilant look, basically preventing him from seeing the inside of the room. Of course, he didn't see how many people were inside. .

Foreigners are generally tall, and those who can enter the FBI and become investigators are naturally the same. Li Jia needs to take two extra steps to keep up with Richard's one step. She lowered her head and smoothed the folds of the skirt: "He just went out."

Even in front of the FBI trusted by Edogawa Conan, Li Jia would not call out his identity at will.

The person who believes in the FBI is Conan Edogawa. Li Jia has never been in contact with this group of people before. She is willing to trust people with FBI status because of the trust of Conan Edogawa and Chuya.

So when Richard led her into the elevator, instead of pressing the floor where the restaurant on the second floor was located, she chose the 33rd floor above their guest room, she just glanced suspiciously and didn't ask any more questions.

In most cases, Li Jia is a person who tends to follow others instead of having her own thoughts and opinions.

She is used to being determined by the people around her. Even if she has doubts in her heart, she is the one who slowly observes the changes in the situation and waits for the results to appear before expressing her opinions.

"Did you bring the disk with you?" Richard raised his foot to get out of the elevator, and asked suddenly.

His demeanor and tone were so normal that it seemed that he was just asking casually. If someone was unprepared, he would definitely say something out of him.

"...Why do you ask this?" Li Jia was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

First, he asked her to come out for dinner with an excuse, but instead of going to the second floor, he went to the 33rd floor, and now he suddenly asked her about such a sensitive topic.

She still remembered that her brother had told her that the matter of the disk was also a secret in the FBI. Only Shuichi Akai, James, and Judy, the investigators who commanded the center of operations, knew about it. Other ordinary investigators would only know that she needed to protect witnesses.

If she hadn't confirmed that the FBI ID Richard showed was the same as the ID James showed her at the beginning, she would have doubted the identity of the person in front of her.

"It's nothing." Richard responded to her vigilance, and smiled nonchalantly, "I'm just worried that something might happen if the disk is left in the guest room."

"Aren't there FBI investigators around here?" Li Jia stopped, quietly looked at Richard who stepped forward, and asked, "Is there danger in the guest room?"

"How can there be danger in the guest room?" Richard planned to be vague and perfunctory, he urged: "Let's go quickly, Mr. Zhongyuan is already waiting for us."

It's these words again, Zhong Yuanzhong is already waiting for her.

She couldn't even tell whether the other party was lying or not. On the one hand, Li Jia could be sure that Richard was the real FBI. On the other hand, she felt that "Zhong Ye" would let people she didn't know take her to strange floors. Reasonable thing.

Not to mention he's even mentioning disks now.

"Why is it the 33rd floor?" She wanted to go to the destination and ask again, but there were really too many strange things about Richard.

Conan Edogawa and "Mr. Chuya" have deliberately told her that no one can talk about the disk if it doesn't conform to the "Chuya" way of action.

No matter how much she wanted to trust the FBI investigators, she felt that these doubts were too public.

She didn't even know whether to go with him or not before she figured it out thoroughly.

Richard blocked the elevator door with one hand to prevent it from closing casually, and waved to Li Jia who was leaning against the corner: "The 33rd floor is where we usually have dinner, and the restaurant on the second floor is open to the public. It is too conspicuous for so many foreigners to appear suddenly. gone."

"Miss Fujimine, is there any other questions?" He looked very helpless, as if he was conniving at a child who made trouble for no reason.

Li Jia lowered her head and pressed her lips, and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, you suddenly asked me about the disk, I was a little too nervous."

After experiencing so many things suddenly in just a few hours, she really couldn't adapt quickly.

After following Richard's footsteps again, Li Jia's steps became much heavier, and she only nodded or shook her head in response to his questions.

Richard stopped the topic slowly, no longer tried to guide Li Jia to speak, but instead led her into an empty room, which was somewhat similar to the conference room provided by the hotel downstairs, but there was no one else here.

"Sit here for a while, Mr. Zhongyuan said he will come soon."

Just looking at the large number of lunch boxes piled up in the corner, it seems that this is really the place where they usually eat during their breaks, as Richard said.

Li Jia looked sideways at Richard picking out an ordinary bento and putting it in the microwave oven, and then gave her a bottle of mineral water. She looked after her earnestly and looked at it, but she was really just entrusted by "Chuya" to take her to a safe place to eat.

"Mr. Richard doesn't want to eat?" Li Jia couldn't help asking with her head raised.

It's not that she hasn't received such care before, but it's a little strange that the person who took care of her in this way was the FBI or someone called by "Zhongye".

Richard laughed and said, "We take turns eating, and we've already eaten."

She responded softly, lowered her head and silently stuffed food into her mouth.

The bento ordered by the FBI wasn't particularly delicious, but it wasn't hard to swallow. It's just that she didn't have much appetite and ate very slowly.

At first Richard just stood by her side, and slowly he started to walk around, looking at her and looking down at the time from time to time, his brows furrowed faintly showing a little anxiety.

Richard is not someone who is good at acting, and he didn't even hide his purpose much.

"Mr. Richard, if you have other things to do, you can leave first, and I can go back to the guest room later." Li Jia put down her chopsticks and looked at the foreign man who was faintly becoming anxious.

"No, nothing happened," he adjusted his expression, and said calmly, "My task today is to protect Miss Fujimine, there is no other place to go."

In order to assure Li Jia that he really had no other tasks today, he even turned off his mobile phone and put it on the table instead.

It was obviously winter in December, and the room didn't even turn on the heating, but he started to sweat faintly.

Li Jia lowered her eyes and sipped her saliva, a look of sleepiness slowly appeared on her face, she rubbed her eyes and started to feel sleepy, and she didn't even finish her lunch box: "Sorry, I'm suddenly sleepy..."

"I want to take a nap here." Slowly pushing away the lunch box and mineral water bottle in front of her, she yawned softly and lay down, not even noticing the instant joy on Richard's face.

He took two tentative steps forward and pushed Li Jia's shoulder: "Miss Fujimine? Miss Fujimine?"

The girl with her head tilted and resting on her arm seemed to have fallen asleep instantly, no matter how much he shouted or pushed, there was no other response.

"Finally asleep, troublesome brat." He muttered, wiped off the talkative and cheerful side of his face, and began to eagerly search Li Jia's pockets.

"Room card, key, note..." No, no, these are not what he wants.

He clicked his tongue impatiently: "You really didn't bring the disk with you, did you hide it in the guest room just now?"

Even if he can't believe it, it's not good to waste time. After all, it is not easy to distract the defense around Toshika Fujimine. If time is limited, if the delay continues, it is difficult to guarantee that the evil dragon guarding the treasure will not come back suddenly.

Richard hurriedly grabbed the key card and left the room, not even caring about the girl who was still asleep by him.

After all, it is also the place of the FBI, just let her stay here for a while, and it will not cause an accident to lose important witnesses.

……

"Aren't you up yet?" A mature and proud female voice suddenly came from the room where Li Jia was supposed to be alone.

The movement of falling down and stroking her black hair was very gentle. The woman with light blonde short hair smiled and leaned over to her ear and said, "The acting skills are not bad, you can fool that FBI."

The thick eyelashes fluttered twice, she slowly opened her eyes and sat up: "Who are you?"

A beautiful and arrogant woman with light blond hair and obviously of foreign origin.

The forehead hair curled up like a thread on the forehead is quite eye-catching, and the clothes on the body are quite casual, but there is a special temperament in every gesture, which is unforgettable.

She said inexplicably: "It's just a person who accepts help from an incompetent son and is responsible for taking you to another safe house to escape this period of time."

Seeing that Li Jia was still frowning, she was puzzled and nervously clenched her fists, she whispered out her name: "You can call me Mary."

It's a very common and ordinary name, and Mary's attitude makes it hard to tell whether she is serious or joking about the pseudonym.

Li Jia clenched her fists slightly, a little nervous but did not dare to act rashly.

I don't know whether to call it good luck or bad luck, she was wearing thick clothes when she went out, Richard only checked the pockets of her coat in a hurry, and hurried away with the room card without finding a place to hide the disk.

The pistol and gun hidden by "Mr. Nakaya" have not been found yet, and the cold equipment is almost warmed by body temperature, but it is still obvious that the hands and feet cannot be moved when sitting down or getting up.

The weapon fixed on the body in a special way, in order to prevent people from easily discovering it, naturally moved a little more. Even Li Jia's current clothes are worn for hiding things, and the heavy and hard iron block is naturally not comfortable thing.

Because Li Jia suddenly carried an extra seven or eight catties of weapons on her back, Li Jia even slowed down a lot.

"Is that person really the FBI?" Li Jia couldn't help asking.

"Didn't you see it?" Mary's eyebrows were a little arrogant and indifferent, and even her smile was a bit glamorous. When she calmly nodded and answered, she was even more convincing than Richard looked.

"His certificate is real, and the person is real. What is problematic is what he said." Mr. Zhong Yuan entrusted him to bring someone out for dinner. It was all fake, and the purpose was just to lure Li Jia out of the guest room to find the disk.

She snorted disdainfully: "The value of that disk is far higher than you imagined."

Not only want to seize the organization's secrets for the purpose of destroying the organization, but also the confidential information about other countries in the disk.

Intelligence pays attention to timeliness and effectiveness, but the information that spreads from within the organization can basically be regarded as correct, and it is the confidential information of various countries.

There will be more people snatching that disk than Toshika Fujimine imagined.

"What about you? Do you also want the disk?" Li Jia raised her eyes and asked, she couldn't trust Mary's words, even though her appearance really gave her a somewhat familiar feeling.

"I want the disk, but protecting your life is more important than the disk now." While Li Jia was in a daze, she pulled up the person and hid at the window, without hesitation, she straddled over and ignored the vacancy outside the window, raised her hand Pull the curtain over to block their figures, and block Li Jia's back with one hand to protect them firmly.

The footsteps gradually approached and could be clearly heard. Mary retracted her legs that were hanging on the inside of the room, raised her legs to step on the window frame to stabilize her body, and said in a low voice, "Don't make any noise."

The girl froze her body and didn't even dare to move more. She just felt dizzy at a glance at the height of the 33rd floor outside.

She was afraid that Mary would jump out of the window with a trembling hand and hold her. She jumped from the 33rd floor and could be dragged away without rescue.

"He's not here? Didn't that kid Richard say that he was here and let us deal with the aftermath?"

"Don't be taken away first?"

"A little girl who doesn't know anything is useless. The most important thing is the disk. Go back to the guest room first."

Just a few short conversations pulled back Li Jia's mind in an instant, and her nervous beating heart began to turn to another unspeakable worry.

Mary glanced at her calmly and indifferently, and said, "The FBI is not united from top to bottom, that's why he asked me to protect you."

The dark green eyes are exquisitely raised, and the facial features are thick and gorgeous, even without makeup, there are beautiful long eyelashes like eyeliner.

Li Jia slowly met these eyes with the person who had only met once, and said in amazement: "You, you are Mr. Akai's mother?"

Those sharp eyes, even with the pretty curly hair on the forehead, couldn't hide the sharpness.

Mary responded with a soft hum: "Good observation skills."

She doesn't deny it, but it's about as close as an outright admission.

Akai Shuichi is 32 years old this year, but his mother still looks very young, and her status is very similar to his age.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

Li Jia asked blankly, "How do I go?"

Although Richard wanted to steal the disk with malicious intentions, this place is indeed still the territory of the FBI, and they couldn't possibly walk down from the 33rd floor in a generous way.

In case of encountering other FBIs along the way, I don't know what will happen.

The dark green eyes looked down at her blue eyes, like waves in the sea, with layers of gradient colors, dotted on that lovely and beautiful face, showing a bit of soft moonlight-like tenderness and dazzling.

Mary withdrew her gaze flatly, leaned her body slightly and looked down.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as we can get downstairs." The 32nd floor is not the territory of the FBI, and they can turn to the escape route and go downstairs from there.

"I-I want to go downstairs," the little girl swallowed nervously, "Are you going to jump down?"

This is the 33rd floor. Although they didn't want to fly directly to the lobby on the first floor, it is not easy to go down to the first floor at this height. A little carelessness can break into cakes in minutes.

"Afraid?" Mary raised her eyebrows, "I'll go down to meet you first."

Her mobility is extremely high, and she supported Li Jia to sit firmly at the window, retracted her legs, folded her body and jumped down flexibly to step on the top of the 32nd floor, and then squatted down to hold the protruding window frame part of the top to swing herself in.

Li Jia was dumbfounded seeing all the movements flowing like clouds and flowing water.

Just because Mr. Akai's mother can do it doesn't mean she can do it too!

Not long after, Mary leaned out from the window and threw a hook up to hang on the window, "Come down."

With trembling hands, she grabbed the rope at the end of the hook, wondering if she could really use this to get down?Just grabbing her felt that my hands were shaking so badly that maybe I couldn't even hold her body for a few seconds.

"Come down quickly, don't dawdle."

"Okay, okay." Li Jia pulled up the thick rope and wrapped it around his hand a few times, and worked hard to build up his mind before moving the other leg out. The 33-storey scenery was so dazzling that his hands and feet were weak.

Even if she wasn't afraid of heights like Detective Maori, she would be terrified to suddenly ask her to climb down like this.

Holding on to the window frame with both hands, with her legs dangling outside the window, she felt that the wind was terribly cold today, as if even she was about to blow a few steps.

She took a long, slow and deep breath, and the moment her hips slid off the window frame, her body suddenly fell, and the thick rope wrapped around her wrist several times tightly strangled her wrist, lifting her so that her body trembled in pain.

Li Jia was in a trance from the pain for half a minute before she came back to her senses. Fortunately, the hook that Mary hung was stable, so she didn't follow her directly to the bottom of the building.

The delicate skin of her wrist was instantly worn out, her palm was tightly clutching the thick rope, and the cold wind blowing from mid-air could shake her whole body, which was really not her illusion just now.

Today's wind is really strong enough to blow the person who fell from the building to another room downstairs, making people even blur the real location of the fall.

Li Jia only felt that her whole body was weak, and her wrist was in severe pain, but she couldn't hang here all the time, and someone would definitely find out after a long time.

The boots kicked against the wall, the left hand grasped the thick rope and wrapped it around the palm of the hand, and the right hand pulled out all the strength to pull out the tight loop I just wrapped, and wrapped it tightly around the wrist. Although it didn't let her fall, it also caused Li Jia is now in a troubled predicament.

She has no such escape experience at all, and naturally she doesn't know how to pull her hand out.

"Tsk," Mary, who had been watching her for a while, frowned again, "Relax, let me do it."

Her tone was actually very cold and even impatient, but her movements were very light and did not cause Lijiado, who was in a daze in pain, to suffer a little.

The rope wrapped around Li Jia's waist was fixed in place, making sure that she would not loosen and fall off in the middle, cut the thick rope around her wrist with her backhand, and swung directly through the rope fixed in the room on the 32nd floor and landed diagonally opposite Downstairs balcony.

Protecting the girl in her arms whose face was pale with pain, she rolled and landed safely.

"Can you still stand up?" Mary frowned and helped her to sit up, and patted her face: "There is no one in this room, we can rest for a while before leaving."

There is no way to deal with the half hook rope left on the 33rd floor, but the rope on the 32nd floor still needs to be dealt with, otherwise it will be troublesome for the FBI to follow the vine.

Barely recovering from the incident where she almost killed herself, Li Jia nodded weakly and slightly.

If she didn't take a good breath and rest, she really couldn't even run.

"The wrist is dislocated," Mary helped someone in. Seeing that she was holding her wrist, her body was still trembling, and her face was pale and sweating. Only then did she realize that Li Jia had just fallen down so suddenly that her wrist was dislocated.

"I'll help you connect it now, it may hurt a little, but you have to hold back."

She didn't even know how to comfort Li Jia, so she simply pushed her back before Li Jia could react. The pain caused her to bite her lip, and stars began to appear in front of her eyes.

"Pain?" The pampered little girl's wrist was strangled by the thick rope with dark marks, and soon it would even swell up, so painful that it was hard to touch.

With tears in her eyes, Li Jia didn't know whether she should nod her head or not.

She hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bear to whisper: "A little bit."

"It's impossible to prepare any bandages in the guest room. Let's put a handkerchief on top first." Mary simply tore the handkerchiefs apart with her teeth. As long as the handkerchiefs are not completely torn apart, they can be used as a substitute for bandages to simply tie her wrists.

Li Jia looked up at Mary secretly. Unlike the FBI just now, she didn't seem to have any plans to ask her about the disk.

"...Thank you, Miss Mary." Whether she was telling the truth or not, she did save her just now.
