Chapter 724 Akai Shuichi: Let me tell you something, don’t be afraid
“Are you going to license the sports car? Dad, didn’t you say that you think the sports car is not practical and you are going to sell it and get a bigger car.”< br>
After a thrilling night, Mao Lilan, who slept until midnight, heard the shocking news as soon as she got up.
Although private detectives are different from ordinary office workers, they are actually a kind of social beast. In the final analysis, they are a profession that sells their working time in exchange for money. What kind of car they drive still has an impact on social beasts.
There may not be much difference between driving a low-key car and driving a spacious SUV, but for Kogoro Mouri, who has a daughter who is about to become an adult at this age, a red convertible is still too uncomfortable. Steady, a bit too eye-catching.
"Ah, this..." Mouri Kogoro chewed the egg pancake in his mouth and looked away vaguely, "That, this, Eri seems to like it quite a lot."
On the other hand, his heart was still watering. Conan, who was slurping milk, turned his head in surprise and looked at Mouri Kogoro's expression.
Fei Yingri is a capable and flamboyant professional woman who is full of aggression in the workplace. For her, a red sports car is indeed suitable, mainly because of the meaning of Kogoro Mori's words, That is to say, the car should be kept and mainly handed over to Fei Yingli to drive.
Looking at it this way, in order not to show off, he still cannot escape the fate of renting a car in many cases.
"Has the relationship between Uncle Maori and Aunt Fei progressed so quickly recently?" Conan was deeply puzzled as he tried to recall the recent interactions between the awkward couple.
Fei Eri and Mouri Kogoro have indeed been relaxing since the last procrastinating exchange of gifts.
Recently, Xiaolan has no time to ask what Mouri Kogoro is going to do in his very sexy clothes. Most likely, it is to meet Fei Yingri.
——The busy concubine, the lawyer, can only have time to renew her relationship after dark.
But fast forward to considering the allocation of family vehicles and the appearance of living together again, it is a different matter.
"It's not that fast..." Mouri Kogoro cleared his throat uncomfortably, staring at the two children's eyes full of inquiry, and said indifferently, "Well, what kind of car do I want? You can buy it yourself.”
His home is in Tokyo, and he has a single-family building with a front door in a business district. In fact, Kogoro Mouri's living conditions are definitely not bad.
Not to mention that his wife has never left the workplace, and he does not have the pressure of raising a family by himself. The stable rent and work income brought by real estate are completely enough to cover the expenses of raising Mao Lilan. He has not lived in a very tight situation, which can be seen from the fact that he can accept the temporary raising of one more child without any pain.
The reason why he has not saved much money at this age, and his pockets are empty no matter how much he earns or spends, is inseparable from his bad living habits.
If you make less, you will make do, and if you make more, you will squander it all when you are happy. If you continue to live like this, you will not be able to accumulate wealth no matter how old you are. Therefore, after improving his living habits, Mouri Kogoro was surprised to find that he could actually make money.
This is what he discovered last night when he communicated with Mao Lilan and learned the exact amount of the deposit when he was considering changing cars.
The commission fees for the past few months, plus the rent paid by the cafe downstairs, the subsidy Suzuki Sonko made on a whim, the subsidies paid to him according to the case, and the high commissions paid by the Nine-Jiu Family and the Tsujimura Family...
He calculated with his fingers and found to his surprise that even if he didn't have this car, he could actually buy a suitable car for home use.
From the time he was tortured by Karasawa until today, looking at the balance and assets calculated on the paper, that indescribable sense of solidity made him finally have a new way of life, and it seemed that he could indeed The reality of moving towards a better life.
"It's unrealistic to expect a windfall from the sky. People, we still can't rely too much on luck." Mouri Kogoro made a very uncharacteristic sigh. This time, even Mao Lilan couldn't help but stare. Look at him.
She looked down at the sandwich on the plate, compared it with what Mouri Kogoro had on his plate, and made sure that the other party had taken the wrong medicine, and started thinking in confusion.
"Could it be that the Phantom Thieves actually changed their minds for dad last night, but we didn't notice it?"
"Oh, that makes sense. In fact, Aunt Tokiwa didn't show any obvious signs. Symptoms, as well as Master Kisaragi."
"So that's what happened..."
Moori Kogoro's expression froze with emotion about life in his eyes.
"You two, stop talking nonsense here! I'm very good, I'm not to the point of being changed, okay!"
"Okay, okay..."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"You, you two little bastards, eat mine and use mine..."
" Okay, okay, finish your meal quickly, we have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to visit Aunt Changban. She is very frightened, and now she wants you to be present by name before she is willing to confess her situation. "
“I really can’t tell, dad, you are such a safe type...”
"You two...!"
————
While the Mori family was having a warm family conversation, on the other side, Akai Shuichi climbed over the wall with ease and followed the two From the garage in Chome 22nd, he entered the house quietly.
As Belmod left after being exposed, the organization's arrangements around the 2-chome were quickly evacuated. In fact, he didn't need to be so cautious.
The three villas side by side on this street are all entered and exited by their own people. Bourbon, because of his agreement with Karasawa, will not reach out to this neighborhood casually. Even if he comes to knock on the door in an upright manner, The door didn't matter, but thinking about everything he saw last night, Akai Shuichi chose a more cautious approach.
The power of the organization is like a gangrene attached to the bones, tightly wrapped around the blood of the mother's family. Their outstanding talents have brought disaster to themselves. This is the case for the Miyano family and the Karasawa family. Faced with the possibility of cognitive chaos His unique power did not allow him to be careless.
The Phantom Thieves of the Heart—this group that is inseparable from the Karasawa family is showing power beyond imagination.
Akai Shuichi vaguely felt that no matter who those people were, Karasawa and the Miyano sisters were very likely to be inseparable from them, but he always had his own tasks in hand before. Instead of being too distracted to investigate the situation of these younger brothers and sisters, he chose to believe in Tangze, a child who would always surprise people, and to believe that he had his own sense of proportion.
In addition, there were many voices within the FBI where he was born, and reason told Akai Shuichi that the best way to protect them was to not know anything.
There are some secrets, just knowing them may lead to disaster. If the power they control has reached a level that can be coveted by any force, if they investigate too clearly, they will create more trouble for Tangze. It will also bring greater resistance to eradicating the organization.
Cognitive knowledge is now a sharp weapon in the hands of organizations. If you rush to grasp the sharp edge, you will only cause greater harm to yourself.
But after seeing Zhufu Jingguang, Akai Shuichi couldn't sit still at all.
The current problem is no longer that being a master of pretending to be confused can make things difficult. He must find out the situation of the Phantom Thieves of the Heart, and more importantly, the relationship between Karasawa and others and this group. Clarify the relationship.
What the organization wanted to obtain by studying this subject was completely exposed to Akai Shuichi with the appearance of Morofu Jingguang.
That was a member of the organization he had worked with before, a victim who he had personally confirmed had lost vital signs. They were undercover agents whose positions were different but in a very similar situation.
What does the resurrection of Zhu Fu Jingguang mean? Is the organization already dabbling in taboo areas three years ago? Or is it an extension of the strange phenomena that happened to Belmod and Conan Haibara Ai? What is more? What's more... thinking of joker, gin, and the iconic silver hair of Morofuku Kageko last night, Akai Shuichi's heart couldn't help but sink.
In this way, maintaining a preoccupied state, Akai Hideichi crossed the back garden, passed through the atrium, took the stairs on the second floor, and arrived at the reception room and reception room on the first floor. Restaurant direction.
In addition to Hoshikawa Teru and Miyano Akemi, who were fished out of the organization one by one by Karasawa, this building also houses other newcomers. It looks like some kind of stray animal shelter - listen It is said that Karasawa has even started to pick up cats here recently - anyway, considering that the number of residents is still increasing, and Karasawa can go directly to Shibuya to find his stronghold, Akai Shuichi is polite and does not enter privately again. to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
However, no matter how many people live there, according to their habits, the area for active communication and interaction is still in the living room, so you can't go wrong looking for people here.
So after pushing open the door of the restaurant, Akai Shuichi unexpectedly found Miyano Akemi and Hoshikawa Teru who were slowly eating breakfast, and Karasawa who was pouring coffee into his mouth.
“Brother Xiuyi, you’re here so early.” Tang Ze raised his hand towards him without any surprise.
As for his coming, Shuichi Akai had told him in advance. Faced with his own people who had a clear position, this undercover investigator never played like the FBI or open thedoor.
As for not taking the main entrance...just think of it as an assassin's instinct, just like the ACT players rolling around on the road. At first glance, it looks very magical, but after seeing too much He will also start to roll around.
"Karasawa, Akemi, and Hoshikawa-kun." Although he looked quite calm, but he was actually very anxious inside, Akai Shuichi nodded to them lightly, stepped over to the dining table in two long steps, and spread out directly. asked, "There are some things that I need to confirm with you."
"Huh? Are you looking for Karasawa?" It wasn't until Shuichi Akai rushed to the table that Hoshikawa Teru slowly raised his head.
He blinked slowly. It was obvious that the blood supply to the brain had not yet been supplied. It took him a few seconds before he said "Oh": "Should I avoid it?"
From now on. Knowing the complicated family line of Karasawa, especially after listening to his popular science about Akai Shuichi's brothers and sisters with completely different surnames but the same father and mother, every time he saw this handsome and fierce FBI, he felt like each other. It was like someone was killed on the set of a family ethics drama, and I felt like I shouldn’t get involved in the upcoming topic.
"No, I also have some relationship with you, Hoshikawa-kun." Shuichi Akai's expression was very serious, "I want to confirm what your relationship is with the Phantom Thieves of the Heart."
< br>"...Huh?" Miyano Akemi, who was still trying to keep accounts after a good night's harvest and thinking about how to properly put funds into which bank accounts, raised her head blankly.
"...Huh?" Hoshikawa Teru, who had finally reached the brain, realized Akai Shuichi's intention.
The two people blinked, and then looked at Tang Ze together, with the exact same sentence written on their faces.
"Huh? Doesn't he know?"
Tang Ze, who poured coffee back into SP, paused and put down the coffee in his hand with a serious face.
…It seems that I really don’t know.
Although when I was a joker, I even arrogantly provoked the organization with Akai Shuichi's face, even though I didn't do much acting, and my pinching skills were blatant, although...
But, it seems that this problem has not really been solved. Are you angry with Shuichi Akai?
After all, Akai Shuichi's main combat power lies in his own person. While the FBI still has its own mission for the time being, Karasawa is mainly an informed person who will not take the initiative to cause trouble for others outside of work.
Working overtime is already very hard, but if you have to work two jobs, wouldn’t that make you feel uncomfortable?
Miyano Akemi's face was filled with disbelief, and she frowned in confusion.
You really haven't told Brother Xiuyi yet. I thought you had already figured it out.
Tangze shrugged innocently.
Then he didn't ask...
Hoshikawa Teru looked around at the expressions of the two siblings, and chose to cast his unbelievable gaze on Akai Shuichi.
Then you are really calm...
Akai Shuichi watched the three people talk encrypted in silence for a moment, feeling that they might still have concerns. After thinking about it, he decided to speak more clearly.
"I now need to confirm the position of the Phantom Thieves. The situation is extraordinary. If the phenomenon I saw involves the organization, then Karasawa, and even Bourbon who has been working with you, should do it as soon as possible. Find a way to get out." Akai Shuichi frowned and said seriously, "You joined the organization too late and may not know the situation. I want to tell you one thing. If you didn't know it before, you'd better do it well. Be mentally prepared."
After regaining his composure, Tang Ze held the coffee cup in both hands and cleared his throat.
The format of this sentence, why is there a sense of déjà vu for some reason...
He actually already roughly understood what Akai Shuichi was worried about, but facing such a solemn Akai Shuichi , Tang Ze could only say very seriously: "Tell me, I am also a professional undercover now, and my psychological quality must be qualified."
I definitely won’t laugh unless I can’t help it.jpg
Not seeing the weird look on Karasawa’s face that was well concealed, Akai Shuichi took a deep breath and decided to start from the beginning: “Three years ago, I was still While in the organization..."
"Click".
Behind them, there was the sound of the door lock being turned from another door connecting the restaurant to the corridor.
Akai Shuichi stopped talking alertly and looked up at the person coming.
"I'm so sleepy. My head hurts a little now. Karasawa, the coffee you just mentioned..."
Zhu Fuking didn't have time to comb his hair, wearing home clothes for sleeping, with a face towel hanging around his neck. Light, with a sleepy look on his face and his temples rubbed, stumbled in.
The awakening of mask users is a very energy-consuming thing. It seems that all their strength is exhausted when awakening. Once they are out of danger and end their transformation and return to the real world, they will immediately suffer from excessive stress. Extremely exhausted due to energy consumption.
When he woke up yesterday, he faced the decisive battle with the master of the palace. As soon as he came out, he immediately started to snipe with Gin Zhongmen, and then did a 100-meter high-altitude jump from a building, a 300-meter zipline rappelling, and racing in a fire scene. Waiting for the dangerous project, the adrenaline was burning, and when it was all over, I almost fell to the ground and couldn't get up. I was almost dragged into my room by several teammates.
Even after a long night's sleep, the feeling of weakness from over-exertion has not completely subsided, so Zhufu Jingguang hastily freshened up, and vaguely remembered that Tang Ze said that if he still felt uncomfortable in the morning, he could come to him. , he could provide some special drinks to restore energy, and he moved slowly into the restaurant like a wandering spirit, without even having time to notice the guests coming to the stronghold.
So when he finished speaking and realized that the restaurant seemed to be too quiet, he turned his head and saw Akai Shuichi again with a shocked expression.
Akai Shuichi's brain briefly stopped thinking for a moment.
He looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang's face, and then at the three people at the dining table, each holding a cup and covering their mouths. He looked around twice, and his eyes widened even more.
That is to say, that is to say...!
Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zhufu Jingguang combed his hair with his fingers and said hello uncertainly: "Lei, oh no, I should call you Akai, right... Uh, morning?"
"Pfft..." Tang Ze, the professional undercover agent who couldn't hold back, laughed and blew the coffee in the cup out 1SP.
