Chapter 41 First Meeting with Shuichi Akai
"Darling~ For this beach honeymoon, I specially bought a very special... swimsuit~"
A man and a woman enter the lobby of a resort hotel next to a beach resort in Florida.
The woman gazed tenderly at her new husband, her words subtly hinting at something.
The man had short, neat black hair, wore an ordinary white shirt and black suit pants, and had a fairly handsome face.
He curled the corners of his lips into a smile, ignoring the people coming and going in the hall, and gently pinched his wife's chin with one hand, looking deeply into the woman's eyes.
His wife has long, red, wavy hair and incredibly beautiful green eyes. It's truly enviable to have such a beautiful wife.
"Oh, my dear Delina, I can't wait any longer~" The man's magnetic voice was intoxicating, as if one could drown in his tenderness.
"I love you my love."
“Me too!” the man replied.
What an affectionate couple! They start showing off their love at the drop of a hat, while the single people around them, forced to be third wheels, can't help but roll their eyes.
But is that really the case?
Of course not!!!
Kurosawa Jin suppressed the nausea surging within him and uttered words that seemed to express deep affection but were actually devoid of any genuine feelings.
Why would he, a former elite police officer and now the undisputed top killer in the Black Organization, act alongside Vermouth for a mission target he could easily crush?
Kurosawa Jin, disguised as a black-haired man, quickly checked in while being all lovey-dovey with Vermouth, who was dressed as a red-haired woman.
"Dalin~ I can't contain my excitement anymore, you know, I'm so looking forward to lying on the beach... with you..."
"Don't get too excited, baby, we have plenty of time." Kurosawa Jin put his arm around Vermouth's waist and walked into the empty elevator.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Kurosawa Jin's face darkened instantly, and he pushed Vermouth away without any mercy.
A murderous aura emanated from him as he coldly pressed the button for the sixth floor, and the elevator slowly started moving.
"Oh dear! Darlene~" Vermouth's melodious voice reached Kurosawa Jin's ears, "You really are..."
"You change your expression so quickly!" She looked the tall Kurosawa Jin up and down. "Gin, I didn't expect your acting to be so good! You should quit being an actor..."
Knowing all about Vermouth's despicable nature, Kurosawa Jin rolled his eyes inwardly. "Shut up, Vermouth!"
"Ding!" Just then, the elevator arrived at the sixth floor.
Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, Kurosawa Jin didn't bother to pretend anymore and strode towards their booked room—601.
Since the task was accepted, Kurosawa Jin has cursed the BOSS, that senile old man, countless times in his heart.
There were clearly other ways to complete this task, but the BOSS insisted on adopting Vermouth's strategy of disguising herself and infiltrating, and even agreed to Vermouth's request to have Kurosawa Jin as her partner.
More than a month has passed since the old headquarters of a certain major pharmaceutical group in Kurosawa, and the construction of the new base is now in its final stages.
Just as Kurosawa was about to capture Tomohide Kojima, a key figure in Project X, the news was leaked to the FBI, who then placed Kojima under protection in advance.
This incident enraged the BOSS, resulting in the deaths of a number of people in Base Thirteen, with Kurosawa Jin personally in charge.
After the two entered the room, Vermouth was about to spout some pointless nonsense as usual, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was shoved back into the dark muzzle of a gun.
"Stop talking and get to work!" Kurosawa Jin commanded sternly, his tone filled with unquestionable authority.
"Ha!" Vermouth snorted and dragged her suitcase to the bathroom.
Seeing that the other party was so sensible, Kurosawa Jin sat on the sofa and comfortably wiped his beloved gun.
The colorless light shone on the gleaming gun, giving it a sharp silver sheen. This gun had claimed countless lives.
They were in room 601 of the hotel, and the entire seventh floor above them was under FBI control. According to intelligence, Tomohide Kojima was in one of those rooms.
The bathroom door opened, and a woman in a hotel cleaning uniform walked out. Just a few minutes ago, she was a beautiful woman with red hair and blue eyes.
Kurosawa Jin didn't say anything, or even raise his head, and went about cleaning his gun. Vermouth was also very cooperative and carefully went out to do her mission.
As a long-time member of the organization, Vermouth didn't need Kurosawa Jin's instructions; she knew exactly what she needed to do.
The Thousand-Faced Witch only needs to disguise herself slightly, blend into the seventh floor, and obtain information from there.
Once she figures out which room Kojima Tomohide is in, and night falls, Kurosawa Jin, acting as the force of attack, will burst into the seventh floor to kidnap him.
After cleaning his gun and putting it in his pocket, Kurosawa Jin took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He pushed open the glass door and went out onto the balcony.
Each room in this hotel has a balcony, and the balconies on the same floor are about two meters apart, where you can see the boundless sea and enjoy the sea breeze.
Looking into the distance, the beach resembles a golden ribbon winding along the edge of the azure sea. Under the sunlight, it shimmers with countless tiny silver sparkles, like scattered gems.
The balconies on the same floor were about two meters apart. Kurosawa Jin lit the cigarette he was holding, smelled the fishy scent in the sea breeze, and began to exhale clouds of smoke.
He was leaning on the balcony when the person in the room on the right also walked onto the balcony. The man was burly, and a black top hat covered the upper half of his face.
Kurosawa Jin glanced at the other person discreetly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then tapped his fingers on the European-style railing of the balcony at a certain frequency.
Only those who can read Morse code can understand what Kurosawa Jin is typing.
Kurosawa Jin: The FBI has locked Kojima Tomohide in the seventh floor. Tonight, I will kidnap him with Vermouth.
Hyoue Kuroda: Is the FBI trying to trap us like fish in a barrel?
Kurosawa Jin: Yes, but they're going to be disappointed.
Kuroda Hyōe: What do you need me to do?
As Kurosawa Jin's contact person, Kuroda Hyōe naturally knew the importance of Kojima Tomohide.
Kurosawa Jin: Kojima Tomohide must die. We can't let him fall into the hands of the organization. You'll have to act according to the situation and assist me from the sidelines.
Kuroda Hyōe: Understood.
"Squeak—" Perhaps due to years of disrepair, the glass door on the left balcony of Kurosawa Jin began to make a piercing noise.
Upon hearing this, Kuroda Hyōe quickly withdrew his hand from the balcony where he was typing Morse code. He silently lowered the brim of his hat and slowly left.
"Whoosh—" The strong smell of tobacco wafted through the air, spreading everywhere.
The black-haired version of Kurosawa Jin turned his head, his gaze meeting the eyes of the person on the left balcony. Those were eyes that were extremely distinctive in the world of Detective Conan, and Kurosawa Jin immediately knew who the person was.
He is the man who can charm countless girls—Shuichi Akai.
Shuichi Akai! Jin Kurosawa was slightly surprised.
[Kurosawa Jin: "Little C, what's he doing here?"]
[Congratulations, Master! Congratulations! You've unexpectedly encountered Shuichi Akai, and his approval rating has been unlocked. Please keep up the good work and strive to gain more approval points!]
Kurosawa Jin: ...
Tsk! What kind of happy occasion is this?!
His current identity is Gin. In the future, Gin and Shuichi Akai will be mortal enemies, it will be a matter of life and death.
[Kurosawa Jin: "According to the current timeline, Akai Shuichi shouldn't have joined the FBI yet, right?"]
[Yes, his presence here is purely coincidental!]
Kurosawa Jin inwardly complained about his luck, but outwardly smiled kindly at Akai Shuichi.
The other person's gaze was inscrutable, and he returned Kurosawa's meaningful smile.
He didn't see the entire exchange between Kurosawa Jin and Kuroda Heiwa; he only saw Kuroda Heiwa tap the word "Understood" on the railing.
However, through reasoning, Shuichi Akai could easily deduce that the man in front of him was no good and was very likely a member of some organization, while the burly man was this man's subordinate.
Kurosawa Jin saw through Akai Shuichi's thoughts and decided to take the initiative: "Oh, I'm sorry, sir! I didn't mean to, I just had a craving for a cigarette, so I had to go to the balcony to smoke."
He feigned apology, quickly extinguished the lit cigarette, and waved his hand dramatically, trying to make the smoke dissipate quickly.
“I’m here to smoke too.” Shuichi Akai waved the cigarette pack in his hand and readily took out a cigarette.
"Could I borrow a light?"
"Of course." Kurosawa Jin tossed the lighter to the other side.
"Click!" A crisp spark rang out from the other side, and Shuichi Akai threw the lighter back.
"Thank you!" Shuichi Akai continued to stare at Jin Kurosawa, trying to find a flaw in his expression. He asked, "What's your name?"
“Jones, Jack Jones,” Kurosawa announced his pseudonym.
Shuichi Akai then probed, "Did Mr. Jones come alone?"
“No, with my wife.” Kurosawa Jin’s eyes immediately softened. “We just got married last month and are here on our honeymoon.”
"And what about you?" Kurosawa Jin asked in return.
“Alone.” Shuichi Akai deliberately avoided revealing his name.
"Oh~" Kurosawa Jin said with a smile, mimicking Vermouth's drawn-out tone.
"Ah! Darlene~ So you're here!" Vermouth said, opening the glass door with a hint of surprise.
It seems Vermouth's mission went very smoothly; she's back so quickly. Kurosawa Jin thought to himself.
"Excuse me, I interrupted your conversation." Vermouth came up behind Kurosawa Jin and hugged him from behind.
“Darling, let’s go inside,” Kurosawa Jin said. He couldn’t let Vermouth have contact with Akai Shuichi; now was not the time for them to meet.
"Um."
Kurosawa Jin nodded to Akai Shuu, then gently took Vermouth's hand and led her inside.
Ah! What a loving and affectionate couple they are!
Kurosawa Jin: Heh!
