Chapter 26 Find Ling and go home together

"Nishimaru Hideki died mysteriously. The cause of death is unknown, and the murderer is also unknown."

Shuichi Akai knew Judy's abilities, so when Nishimaru Hideo died right under her nose and what remained were two "unknowns", he immediately became cautious.

"I'll tell you the details later, including the matter of Miyagawa Ryo. Now I want to say that I found the same note at the scene of Nishimaru Hideo's death." Judy looked at the note in her hand with cold eyes:

"This time the note was not touched by blood, so I could see it clearly. It was not a 'D', but a black moon."

"The moon...is black?" Akai Shuichi was anxious to know the news about Miyagawa Ryo, but he was still able to think quickly: "Leo?"

"Yes, it is the 'black moon' icon left by the most stubborn killer 'Leo' in the best-selling detective book 'Night' in our country after each murder."

Judy said word by word:

"'Wherever I go, death comes', that's what Leo meant by leaving the moon behind."

"That's what the murderer wanted to say." Akai Shuichi took over the conversation, his eyes sharp and cold: "He wants to tell us that he is Leo... This guy already knows the existence of the FBI."

"Yes, he is still provoking us." Judy sneered.

In "Night", Leo said something meaningful when he killed his fourth target.

That sentence showed that he knew there was an FBI agent lurking beside him at the moment.

The murderer killed Nishimaru Hideo in front of Judy, and Nishimaru Hideo was the fourth person to be left with the icon...the meaning is very obvious.

"That's a problem." Akai Shuichi frowned and said, "Judy, is the other person that the messenger warned would die dead?"

"no."

"Is it a cover? The identity of the messenger is worth pondering. He might be Leo himself... If so, the man in black who died last night might have been lured to death by Leo."

"What is his purpose in doing this?"

"There are many possibilities. The two biggest possibilities are: one is that 'Leo' has a grudge against the organization, so he deliberately took action when the organization was taking action, but he didn't want the organization to discover his existence, so he used us as a cover; the second possibility is that 'Leo' is a member of the organization and has some grudge against the dead man, so he used the FBI to kill the man and leave no evidence."

Judy pondered: "Yes, everything is possible. There are many possible directions to infer..."

Shuichi Akai asked, "Do you think Leo was there?"

"...Not necessarily." Judy paused for a moment before saying, "It's also possible that Leo hid in the dark and made some moves in advance... We need to investigate the details."

"Then...what about Ling?" Although Judy didn't say it, Shuichi Akai had already guessed that Judy had also listed Miyagawa Ling on the list of candidates for "Leo", so he didn't chase after her.

Judy was silent for two seconds, then said, "Xiu, stay calm and listen to me."

"I'm prepared for the worst."

"I found pinch marks and nail scratches on Miyagawa's neck, and needle marks and bruises on his wrists from injections. His complexion was very bad, and sometimes his movements were a little slow. Based on my observation, I guessed that he was a little dizzy, but he didn't show it and was deliberately hiding it."

With every word Judy said, Shuichi Akai's heart sank a little more.

Pinch marks...

Pinhole...

Dizziness...

Cover up...

Combined with what he had just heard, the strange and abrupt words that Miyagawa Rei said, Akai Shuichi choked up and his heart ached.

"There was a middle-aged man with him, but I didn't think he was an elder. The man kept paying attention to Miyakawa Ryo and was unusually concerned about his every move, as if he was monitoring him."

"However, that man would occasionally reveal a strange expression, like fear and vigilance..." Having said this, Judy recalled for a moment before continuing, "I speculate that it might be because Miyakawa Ryo's mental state is a little abnormal."

"…Abnormal?"

"Yes, at first he was very normal when he talked to me, but later, as you heard, he became very strange after chatting with Nishimaru Hideo."

"When he said those words praising Nishimaru Ei, I was observing him and found that the admiration and worship in his eyes were genuine. He believed from the bottom of his heart that Nishimaru Ei was the 'most perfect man in the world'..."

This is actually a very scary thing.

The boy who was smiling with sunshine and gentleness one second ago, exaggerating beyond the limit to the man he met for the first time the next second... When Judy saw the look in Miyagawa Ryo's eyes at that time, she felt creepy.

"...Combined with the needle hole, I guess Miyakawa Ryo may have been injected with some drug, which affected his mental state."

"He was being watched, used, and watched. Of course, his normality might have been a facade."

Judy's words turned into sharp blades, piercing into Akai Shuichi's heart.

His hand holding the phone became stiff and cold.

These words, translated into one sentence, would mean that Ling was driven crazy.

·

"A Xiu." The boy smiled proudly: "You are so powerful, it seems that no one will dare to bully me in the future."

·

"It would be nice if we could grow up together and stay together for the rest of our lives."

·

"I'm here!"

The little boy stood in the wind, smiling widely: "I didn't leave first."

"No matter now or in the future, I will wait for Xiu."

"Let's go home together."

·

"If you have to go back to China," the boy said pitifully after being angry for several days, "When Xiu returns to Tokyo, please come to me first, okay?"

"I'm not going anywhere, and I won't change anywhere. Xiu will definitely recognize me the first time she sees me."

"Then we'll go home together."

·

Find Ling and go home together.

Shuichi Akai stood up, his eyes burning with an extremely fiery and deep emotion.

He must bring Ling back, no matter the cost.

Now he is not the FBI's ace agent, but Shuichi Akai.

He just lost Akai Shuichi, his friend for twelve years since childhood, that's all.

He was going to fulfill the promise he made when he was ten, and walk with Ling towards the unreachable age of 11.

"Xiu..." Judy heard the noise, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going there now."

"What?!" Judy was shocked. If Xiu came over now, wouldn't all the preparations made before be in vain?

Does anyone know whether the people from the organization have left?

"I was a little impulsive, but he said that he would wait for me no matter where he was, and I promised to find him." The young FBI ace said: "The most important thing for me to do now is to go to Ling's side."

Judy forced herself to calm down: "I won't advise you, but Xiu, it won't be too late for you to make a decision after you understand the whole situation, what do you think?"

"That's right, then you tell me." Akai Shuichi replied quickly.

But this only further illustrates his determination.

Shuichi Akai never does anything without preparation. He is calm and rational, and does not act rashly, but once he strikes, it is a fatal blow.

Under such circumstances, he was still willing to patiently understand the situation, which further demonstrated his unshakable determination.

——He made the decision in a calm state.

"At that time, the book that Miyagawa Ryo and Nishimaru Hideo discussed was Night..."

Judy told Akai Shuichi everything in detail and took a picture of the moon for him.

After that, Judy asked, "What do you think?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely cold, dignified and sharp, making people shudder: "I will go undercover in the Black Organization in advance."

"?" Judy didn't react. Why did they bring up this matter?

"I am very familiar with the moon painted in Linghua."

"......?" Judy: "You mean..."

"Ling is related to 'Leo'."

And Leo, has a connection to the organization.

Judy's pupils shrank. Akai Shuichi didn't say anything, but she still thought of the most terrifying possibility -

Miyagawa Ryo, that's Leo.

I happened to discuss "Night" with Nishimaru Hideo, and left the scene immediately after Nishimaru Hideo's death. There was a note left there...

At first, she thought that Miyagawa Ryo's discussion of "Night" was too coincidental, but it was not conclusive evidence, so she did not tell Akai Shuichi about this terrible conjecture, but...

What if even the "moon" was painted by Miyagawa Ryo?

Even if you don't want to believe it, the facts are here.

Miyagawa Ryo is most likely Leo, the Leo forced out by the organization!

It was... the person who killed those four people with such an inhumane and brutal method.

Although this is just one possibility, but...just having this thought made Judy feel cold in her heart.

She couldn't imagine how Xiu would feel if this was true.

…

Miyagawa Ling doesn't know yet that he has been exposed because of the moon.

He sat in the car on the way back to the organization, looking at the increased fear level, and the depression of being targeted by the FBI was relieved a lot.

[Yamato Nagano: 100.]

Ethan: 80.

? :? (calculating)

Hiroshige Kishimoto:? (calculating)】

Yamato Nagano and Ethan Hondou witnessed him killing people several times, so it is normal for them to be very afraid.

Especially for Nagano Yamato, he probably realized at the last second before his death that his death was planned by Miyagawa Ryo.

Miyakawa Ling turned his attention to the string of question marks at the back.

"Because the host does not know the other party's name, it has been coded." The system explained considerately.

Miyakawa Ling had already guessed it and said "hmm".

This trip was quite fruitful.

It’s just… I’m so tired.

However, falling asleep in Ethan Bendon's car was impossible.

Miyagawa Ling turned on his cell phone and casually checked the various software.

The cell phone was given to him by the organization. As for his original cell phone, it was estimated that it fell into the sea of ​​fire after he and Morobushi Jingguang entered it that day. When he was caught by the organization, he realized that his cell phone was missing.

But this is a good thing because the organization has no way of getting any information from him.

There was nothing in the phone given by the organization. It was empty. The contacts were also empty. There were only three contacts added by Miyagawa Ryo himself: Gin, Vodka, and Miyano Akemi.

Gin never replied to him or answered his calls, but Vodka occasionally chatted with him.

But Vodka was very smart. He never mentioned anything he shouldn't have said and always pretended to be dead and didn't answer.

In addition, there was an unknown number with tasks and warnings neatly listed inside.

Miyakawa suspected that there was a positioning device and a wiretap chip in the phone, but he still kept it with him and did not try to destroy them.

After randomly downloading two games and playing for a while, Miyagawa Ling felt dizzy and even sleepier.

He tried to touch his forehead and found it was indeed hot.

It seems that I was too extravagant yesterday... I have a fever.

After returning to the base, Miyagawa Ling got out of the car and did not resist, but went to the organization's infirmary.

The doctor inside saw him and didn't react. He gestured for him to sit down and tell him his symptoms, then went to prepare the medicine.

While he was preparing the medicine, Miyagawa Ling became drowsy and his mind became confused.

…

"Ling."

Um?

"It's too late to call the police. I'll go save people."

Miyagawa Ling suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw were the calm dark green eyes of Yumian.

His throat was dry and he wanted to speak out to stop it, but no words came out.

You Xunran turned and ran forward, the golden pocket watch chain flashing before her eyes.

Miyakawa Ling stretched out his hand, but his grasp was powerless.

He could only watch helplessly as the little boy ran out of the shadows and into the area illuminated by the setting sun.

Ah Xiu, come back!

Don't go!

Let me go!

Miyagawa Ling kept calling out, but no sound came out.

"Bang!"

The sound in memory reappears.

The bullet shot from the darkness pierced through Akai Shuichi's body again right before his eyes.

No matter how many times he tried, Miyagawa Ling could not catch that figure.

Obviously... I just need to react a little faster, just a little faster, and I can catch it.

Obviously... if he was a little braver, a little kinder, and had the determination to risk his life to save others, he could have replaced A Xiu and become the one who died.

But even though the ten-year-old Miyagawa Rei looked lively, he was not brave or kind, and even his physical condition was worse than that of a normal person.

He only selfishly cares about the people around him, observes the people and things in the world with a cold eye, and clearly separates his own world from the outside world.

So...he naturally lost his most important friend.

…

"Dongdong." The slight sound of footsteps woke Miyagawa Ling.

He half-lay on the table, his eyes misty, his voice weak, as if he was a little aggrieved: "Doctor, I'm dying, please hurry up."

"It's healed now," said the doctor.

Miyakawa Ling took the medicine, but saw the doctor still standing in front of him.

He raised his head, his face flushed unhealthily, and his tone was soft as if he was acting coquettishly:

"Doctor, you look at me like this, do you want to die?"
