Not too many out of four

The plan to leave the hotel went incredibly smoothly.

They simply disguised themselves, wearing knitted hats and scarves to cover most of their faces, and the hotel did not even stop them. The FBI guarding the hotel lobby had no doubt that the mother and daughter in front of them were the people they were looking for. .

Li Jia has a special status now, and James and others quietly brought her to the hotel. She is not a prisoner or an underage girl. Even if the FBI asks the hotel to cooperate with her ID, she may not be accepted.

After all, this is Japan, not the United States, the base camp of the FBI, and they will be restricted in what they want to do.

The better identity in Japan is the Metropolitan Police Department, the Public Security Bureau, and the Prosecutor’s Office. The FBI wants to block the hotel and search for people, but it is impossible to get permission.

"We just came out like this?" Li Jia looked a little uneasy, she looked back in the direction of the hotel: "I haven't said hello to my family yet."

Brother and "Chuya" probably didn't know that she had escaped.

But Ms. Mary is the person entrusted by Mr. Akai to pick her up, and this may also be one of my brother's plans.

She hesitated in her heart, and followed Mary's footsteps and slowly stopped.

"Where are we going now?" Where else could she be going now?

Kudo's house can't go back, and the doctor's house and Maori Detective Agency are all implicated and affected. The hotel where the FBI stayed was her tentative place for this period of time, but now she ran out with Mary.

She had nowhere to go, she just felt that the whole body was deserted and quiet, which was scary.

She could clearly hear the horns of cars coming and going, the voices of people walking and talking, but the peace in her heart was different from the peace outside, and she didn’t know what to do when she lost her shelter and had nowhere to go .

"Go to a place where you can rest temporarily." Mary followed the voice and turned her head. Li Jia stood there in a daze, her hands twisted together uneasily, and she even forgot the injury on her right hand.

Pain might be a better sobriety agent for her now.

It can temporarily free her from the sense of dislocation and bewilderment of being homeless.

"Come with me." Mary came back without hesitation, pushed her shoulders to turn into the alleyway, avoided the surveillance cameras and walked around for more than ten minutes, and finally led her into an ordinary house.

It seems that it is not located in a very secluded place, and there are even many neighbors around. There are only two simple rooms inside, and the places for working, eating and sleeping are all gathered together.

Li Jia carefully followed Mary in, and when she needed to take off her shoes at the entrance, she hesitated for a moment.

"Come here, and help you re-bandage the wound." Mary turned out the medicine box from the cabinet and shouted without looking up.

"Okay, okay." Li Jia pursed her lips and took off her boots, revealing the pistol strapped to her calf.

Originally, she was living alone in the hotel, and she could strap on these weapons by herself even if she washed every day, but now she followed Mary to her safe house, so naturally she couldn't avoid being discovered by her.

Feeling embarrassed and helpless, she sat down carefully, shrank her calf under the skirt and pulled the skirt to try to block the pistol. The existence of the gun, she whispered: "Trouble you."

Although carrying a gun with her seems to distrust the ability of the protector, it is a weapon that "Mr. Nakaya" helped her hide on her body. It is impossible for her to remove this weapon to protect herself because someone is protecting her.

Mary didn't even look at the pistol. She just held her wrist to cut open the handkerchief, re-sterilized the wound, applied medicine, and tied a new bandage. She was very careful and patient when winding it around.

"That... Is Miss Mary also from the FBI?" It seemed that Mary's patient and gentle actions gave her courage, Li Jia couldn't help asking.

The tall and glamorous woman didn't even twitch a brow, and put the used medicine and bandages back into the medicine cabinet: "No, I'm British."

Mr. Akai's mother is British...?

Li Jia couldn't help showing a blank expression: "But isn't Mr. Akai the FBI?"

"He studied in the United States in college, got American citizenship and a green card, and entered the FBI after graduation." Contrary to her expectations, Mary answered her question well, and Li Jia thought it was Mr. Akai's secret.

She nodded repeatedly, inexplicably embarrassed and speechless.

She suddenly offended and asked someone else's private matter, and the other party didn't know whether it was out of politeness or indifference to answer her question, which immediately made her feel that what she blurted out was too rash.

"Find a place to rest by yourself, and I'll go out later." Mary folded her arms and leaned against the cupboard and began to close her eyes and meditate.

Li Jia stared blankly at her resting with her eyes closed, turned her head around to look at the furnishings in the house, and couldn't help showing a embarrassed look.

Let her find a place to rest or something...

After all, this is Miss Mary's place, and it's impossible for her to touch things here casually. It's too presumptuous to lie on the tatami without futons in the Japanese room.

She hesitated left and right, and reached out to touch the low table in front of her. There was some dust, but it was not a place where she couldn't rest.

This should be a place where Ms. Mary doesn't come often. The things in the room are neatly arranged and not messy, but there are no traces of life.

Li Jia got up carefully, and tiptoed to go to the kitchen to get a rag.

There is no place for a kitchen in the two-room small room, only a small area near the entrance is opened to make an open kitchen, with a refrigerator and a simple cooking table.

She had to walk carefully past Mary and back again to get the rag.

"Where are you going?" Mary raised her eyelids and glanced at her lightly. Li Jia froze immediately and said falteringly, "I, I want to go to the kitchen and get a rag to wipe the table."

The woman snorted softly, closed her eyes again and ignored her.

Li Jia was greatly relieved. Is this considered allowing her to use the tools here?

Mary's aura is too strong, even if she just leans on her eyes and closes her eyes, she looks like an elegant and beautiful cheetah. People dare not move rashly for fear of disturbing her rest.

She still needs to be more cautious. Although Miss Mary doesn't seem to have a bad temper, she can't push her too far.

……

Staying in the dark safe house all day, and you can't easily get out, time starts to feel rather meaningless.

Li Jia can only determine the passage of time through the light coming in from the window and the blinds that become dark after dark, and records it on the calendar day by day with a marker pen.

Unlike her not daring to go out easily, Mary would go out in different disguises every day, buy some ingredients or lunch boxes, and occasionally bring some childish toys, such as windmills, rattles and music boxes, to amuse Li Jia.

Although she appears to be a very cold and arrogant person on the outside, she can be found to be gentle and considerate to people after actually getting along.

When Li Jia didn't notice her changes, Mary had already noticed her changes first, and even started to take her to the nearby deserted park for a walk from time to time.

It took a month and a half to say whether it was fast or slow, and Li Jia gradually began to get used to the life here.

Even though it was still unavoidable to miss her family and Zhongya Zhongya, she knew that now was not the time to go to them, they were all busy eliminating the Black Organization.

Now she is not only threatened by the organization, but also her uncles and aunts, Uncle Mao Li and the doctor are all threatened. Everyone is looking forward to the day when the incident will be resolved.

Compared with her weak thoughts, it is correct to patiently wait for the right time to come.

"Miss Mary, it seems that you haven't asked me about the disk?" Li Jia bent down and touched the nearby cat that came over proactively.

The only place where you can go out and relax is the abandoned park near the safe house. The toys and facilities here are old and rusty, and no one usually comes here.

Only some stray cats and dogs will pass by from time to time. Now Li Jia’s dirty cat is a cat living in the park. It is orange with stripes, and its four paws and abdomen are covered with snow-white hair. If it is not in the grass all day long It won't get dirty if you drill around in it.

"Isn't the disk already left in the hotel room?" The woman who was not interested in the entertainment facilities in the park and only leaned on the slide quietly waited for the time to pass to take Li Jia back responded lightly.

Scratching the cat's neck and cheeks for a while, Li Jia picked up the orange cat and put it on his lap, hesitatingly whispered: "Miss Mary, don't you want to go and get it?"

A plain white hand stroked the hair on the cat's back, the beautiful blue eyes narrowed comfortably, and a small ball nestled on the lap made a loud purring sound like an engine.

Although the cat lives in the wild on weekdays, it is not short of food and drink. Occasionally, it will feed Li Jia some meat skewers. It is obviously a male cat, but it has begun to show the behavior of raising cubs.

He doesn't usually like to clean his fur with his tongue, and always waits for Li Jia to let her wipe him with a handkerchief. Every time she leaves, he has to send her all the way outside the safe house and watch her enter the door for a long time before leaving.

Seeing that Li Jia's stroking movement slowed down, she would urge Mimi to lick her fingers.

"The guard at the guest room is different from the place where I picked you up last time. There are too many FBIs there. I don't intend to reveal our relationship and plan. If someone finds out, they will follow the clues to find you."

"So that's how it is," Li Jia murmured softly, stroking the cat's dry and rough hair over and over again, feeling a little heartbroken and helpless that she couldn't hug him back.

"If Miss Mary got the disk, what would she do?" She couldn't help holding her breath: "Miss Mary is not the FBI, and I don't want the FBI to get the disk."

The cold and sharp dark green eyes looked over, and she didn't dare to make a sound just by looking at it.

Li Jia didn't really do anything during this time, she had been observing Mary.

Not counting the time when the hotel rescued her at the beginning, she actually helped her a lot later. When she came back several times, she even had wounds and blood on her body, saying that she encountered enemies on the way.

She fought the enemy for a while, and returned to the safe house after cleaning up.

"I'm British, so naturally I want to play for England." Mary's words were almost an admission that her purpose was different from Shuichi Akai's.

"Then why...?" Why bother to protect her, a useless witness?

Fujimine Toshika's value is only that disk, even if entrusted by her son, there is no benefit in protecting her without the disk, and she can't even get a sliver of information, because she doesn't know anything and has never seen the contents of the disk.

"Because I want the organization to be completely destroyed compared to M16 and the FBI." Mary didn't explain the reason, but calmly staggered her gaze.

There was a faint light in the sun in the distance, and the flashing light spots from time to time made her complexion change slightly, and she shouted: "Get down!"

The one-and-a-half-month assassination attack had already tortured Li Jia's nerves so that she was vigilant and sensitive. She didn't even have time to think about Mary's words, and jumped forward with the cat in her arms.

The bullet flew past her ankle and fell, sinking deep into the earth.

"Come here!"

"Mi!" The cat yelled, jumping out of Li Jia's arms with frightened hair all over, and rushed into the nearby grass.

Li Jia got up disheveled, and rushed towards Mary's direction with soft hands and feet.

Hide under the semi-circular shelter in the park, which was originally a place for children to climb and play, but because the park has been abandoned for too long, the exterior has become rusty.

There are no bricks inside, but the soft and cool ground. Although it is not a good place, it is the best choice at the moment as a place to hide yourself from snipers in the distance.

Li Jia clasped her arms and squatted on the ground with her body curled up. She looked out in panic, and could only hear the sound of bullets falling outside: "Did they find this place?"

Mary pulled out the gun at her waist and looked out cautiously: "Someone is coming, don't talk."

Compared with Li Jia who only paid attention to the concealed and hidden guns, Mary's guns were placed in a convenient position, and she loaded them neatly and aimed at the person who just appeared in sight without hesitation.

The bullet hit the enemy's shoulder and leg, and the sound of exhaling in pain attracted the attention of nearby companions.

They began to gather at the hiding place of Li Jia and the others.

They are now hiding here and cannot leave, and naturally they cannot go to the safe house if their hiding place is found.

But Mary didn't look flustered at all, she just knocked down the enemies one by one, replaced the bullets with new magazines and continued to shoot directly.

Li Jia didn't even know how long the time had passed, but felt the constant sound of bullets thumping in her ears, and her body slowly shrank into a ball, not daring to look at the dead or injured people outside.

"I'll go out and deal with them, you wait here for me." Mary's voice was a little cold and steady, if she didn't mean to wipe out all the enemies chasing outside and avoid revealing their whereabouts.

The lumpy body trembled suddenly, Li Jia couldn't say anything, she could only try her best to bury her face in her knees, clenched her teeth tightly and dared not make a sound.

Until a few clear gunshots almost resounded through the sky, Mary shook hands. The gun turned back: "Let's go, we can't stay here anymore."

Li Jia shrank her body and didn't move. Her body was very cold now, and her heart was beating wildly.

"Fujimine Toshika." Even calling her name, Mary's tone was very cold.

"...If Ms. Mary gets the disk, will she share information and cooperate with Mr. Akai and the others?" She spoke with difficulty, her expression a little dazed.

Mary raised her eyebrows, stopped in her tracks and did not speak.

"Will you?" she repeated persistently.

"I can do that," Mary replied calmly, nodding.

Li Jia pursed her lips and forced a smile, unbuttoned the down jacket on her body, took out the disk from the waist bag covered by layers of clothes, and whispered: "Ms. Mary actually found out that the disk is on me early in the morning, right?"

The importance of disks to intelligence officers from various countries is self-evident. Although Mary is Shuuichi Akai’s mother, she herself works for M16. Naturally, the disks are handed over to M16 in Britain instead of FBI in the United States.

"I also found that the disk can't be opened without my personal authentication." Li Jia lowered her eyes and pressed the shell that kept the disk, and the fingerprints fell off layers of lines, and the light path flowed across the surface, reflecting Li Jia's frightened and pale face.

A mechanized female voice came: "The fingerprint authentication was successful, the five senses authentication was successful—the owner, Fujimine Toshika, failed the facial expression authentication, and was suspected of being threatened and intimidated. Please make a new authentication within five seconds."

"Nokata Toshika, Nekota Yukari." The girl didn't look flustered, but her brows were frowning with a hint of gloom.

"Voice authentication is successful, key authentication is successful." The mechanical female voice fell, and the tightly closed box automatically popped open to reveal the disk with infinite value.

Li Jia took out the disk and looked at it quietly for a while: "Father probably wants us to call this name openly..."

For this thing, so many lives have to be sacrificed.

Li Jia raised her head, and her blurred vision inadvertently glanced at the scratched and abnormally raised skin on the side of Mary's neck. She was a little puzzled: "Miss Mary, is your neck... injured?"

It looked like a bullet grazed the skin, but there was no blood or injury.

Mary stretched out her hand to touch the side of her neck, her usual indifferent and stern expression turned into a sympathetic and mocking smile: "What a stupid child, I just need to obediently hand over the disk, and pretend I don't know anything, can't I find anything? "

Five fingers stretched out and grabbed the skin-like thing on the neck, and tore it off under Li Jia's eyes that slowly widened in horror, revealing the beautiful, flamboyant and gorgeous appearance of a foreigner underneath.

Long, curly blond hair fell down, and beautiful aqua green eyes stared at her with a smile.

Belmod put on a new magazine without haste, the bullet was loaded and the muzzle was aimed directly at Li Jia's forehead. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to grab the disk: "I wanted to say it when we first met, your The eyes are very similar to your father's, but the color is different."

Li Jia was so frightened that she could hardly make a sound, she moved back little by little until she touched the hard iron wall behind her, and looked around anxiously, but there was no one around.

The place where they were hiding was an abandoned park. The intense gun battle just now did not attract the attention of others, let alone they are still staying in such a hidden and inconspicuous place.

"I'm very relieved, you don't look like your father," Belmode chuckled, and stroked her black hair gently with his fingers, just like when they first met and found out that she was pretending to be asleep, "Otherwise, I might not be able to sleep for a day." I can't help but want to touch you."

"...You, know Dad?" Under the extreme fear, her teeth were almost chattering, and she could barely squeeze out the words from her throat.

The beautiful woman in front of her looks like she is only 30 years old, maybe her actual age is older, but she doesn't look like the age at which she would know Kaneto Nekota.

"You can call me aunt." There was a trace of heat from the muzzle of the gun against the girl's forehead, the pistol. The gun dissipated a little of the heat from just firing due to the cold winter weather.

Belmode held her head with the muzzle of a gun, and gently stroked her hair as if treating her favorite child. She chuckled and said, "Your father and I are cousins, and Li Jia was also a child of our family. .”

Li Jia stared at her pair of water-green eyes in a trance. The bright and flamboyant facial features were not in the same style as Maotian Kanerto, but only by looking closely at the eyebrows and eyes, one could discern some traces of similarities.

"Then why..."

She couldn't restrain her sadness, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Why did you kill him?"

Li Jia originally thought that her only relatives were the Kudou couple and Kudou Shinichi. Motian Kanto was born in an orphanage and didn't know who her relatives were, and she didn't think about investigating these further.

It turned out that my father still had relatives in this world, but it was also this relative and the people from the organization who hunted and killed him.

She didn't understand why the woman in front of her who claimed to be her aunt was so young, and she didn't understand why she still worked for the organization. Obviously, it was the organization that killed her relatives.

Belmode was a little surprised. He thought this child was well-behaved and weak, and he didn't inherit Motian Kaneren's toughness. He didn't expect her to be able to ask this question.

With the guns pointed at her head and her life threatened, Fujimine Toshika seemed to become bolder.

"Don't you know? Your father knows the secrets of the organization, and he is unwilling to cleanse his memory, although it's a pity..."

She laughed flamboyantly with some mocking pity: "But the organization still has to give up on him."

Tears welled up and blurred his vision. Li Jia didn't know whether he was sad for his father or Belmode didn't have a trace of regret when he talked about his father. The tears that couldn't be contained in his eyes began to overflow and slid down his cheeks.

Belmode pressed her face with his backhand, tightly pressed her mouth and nose to prevent her from crying at will, and said in a frivolous tone with an endless smile: "Why are you crying?"

"What an idiot, you can't even cry out because of crying." The elegant and low voice turned freely, and became the voice of Maotian Jianren: "Li Jia, Mom and Dad miss you very much."

"Oh!" The blue eyes full of tears suddenly widened, and Li Jia began to struggle to kick her away.

With a struggling movement, she pulled out the pistol tied to her thigh. Before she had time to pull the safety catch, Belmode directly hit her wrist with the gun. The numbness and pain made her hand tremble so that she couldn't hold the gun.

"It's a pity," Belmode looked down at her, and said with a smile, "Do you think I've lived with you for such a long time, and I'll do it without knowing anything?"

She called the people who assassinated Li Jia, and she was the one who solved them.

The moment he noticed that she was wavering, he immediately created an opportunity for her to take out the disk.

Fujimine Toshika's temperament is very easy to understand, completely different from her cunning and troublesome father.

"Bye bye," she said with a smile slowly, "cute little idiot."

At the moment when the trigger was about to be pulled with his fingers hooked, the loud and piercing siren sounded quickly approaching. Belmode looked sideways, and laughed: "It turns out that someone called the police."

Shooting without a silencer will make a loud noise and leave a smoke reaction.

She lowered her eyes and warned with a smile: "I think you should know what you can say and what you can't say? If you don't want to die early like your father, it's better to pretend that you don't know anything."

Belmode picked up the disk and left, leaving Li Jia to hide in the semi-circular building and shrink her body.

"Mi? Mimi!" The dirty orange cat crawled out from under her clothes, pawing at her anxiously.

The cat that hid in the bushes sneaked in here to hide at some point, its gray paws pushing her.

Li Jia propped up her body with weak hands and feet, picked up the cat and left in another direction: "...so tired, let's go back."
