"Um...Mr. Akai, please wait a moment!" You called out to Shuichi Akai.
Fortunately, you mentioned his name when you were taking notes on the bus, otherwise you really couldn’t call him out directly (before you got on, you thought that since the other party was using his real name, Shuichi Akai, he must have left the organization).
Akai Shuichi raised his eyes, stopped walking, and there was no expression on his face.
"Jiang Lai." He called out your name very accurately.
"Ah...can you help me?" You looked at the other person and asked with some hesitation.
"Sorry, I can't," Akai shrugged, rejecting you directly, bending slightly to open the car door, "I'm busy."
...Such a straightforward rejection! You were stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to stop him: "Wait a minute, Akai-kun! I just want a ride... Please!"
Akai straightened up and chuckled, his voice calm: "...We don't seem to be familiar with each other, do I look like a kind person who helps for free?"
"I'm not doing it for free, I paid for it!" you blurt out subconsciously.
Akai: “…”
you:"……"
As long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed... you think to yourself.
"......Uh." You feel your face a little stiff, "......Okay?" The other person's eyes are very nice, but when he stares at you, you have a cold feeling as if you are being stared at by some kind of beast.
Akai suddenly raised his hand and threw the coffee can towards you. You instinctively stretched out your right hand to catch it. When you raised your eyes again, he looked at you. His gaze was like a sharp sword piercing through his eyes into your soul, making your hair stand on end instantly!
you:"!!"
"…If you want my help," Akai stared at you and said slowly, "I advise you to tell the truth."
“……” You remain silent.
You know very well what you can say and what you can't say, even to Shuichi Akai.
The chips that can mobilize the FBI are obviously your deepest secrets, so... should you tell them? At this time?
Maybe you have to answer quickly, because Akai glances down at his watch again. But this action may also be intentional, making you anxious and unable to think well.
Calm down. Your mind starts to work quickly. You review what the other person said again.
[If you want me to help you, I advise you to tell the truth.]
Wait a minute... the other party seems to have something else to say.
Maybe you don't need [his] help, just yet.
You shook his hand unconsciously, then smiled and said, "I have something urgent to do, and there are no taxis passing here right now. I just want to borrow your car to pick up my child from Teitan Elementary School. Judging from the direction of your car, it should be on the right way."
"I can pay more for the fare, of course... any other equivalent compensation within my means is also fine." You kept smiling, "I just want to use the car."
Akai glanced at you, and you felt your palms sweating. Then he stretched out his bony left hand.
What do you mean? ? Do you want to shake hands? ? You were stunned and stretched out your left hand to shake his hand -
Akai naturally avoided it, making your handshake pause in mid-air, feeling a little awkward. He simply placed his hand on the coffee can and said, "Let go."
“Oh oh.” You let go immediately.
Akai took back his black coffee, threw it through the car window onto the passenger seat, then quickly opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.
You thought he was going to die, but he put his arm on the car window, glanced at you, and said, "Get in the car."
"Ah, thank you!" you reply pleasantly, then quickly open the door and sit in the back seat.
"Teitan Elementary School?" he asked briefly.
“Yes, yes,” you looked down at your watch, “It’s not rush hour now, it should be here in 15-20 minutes…”
Akai interrupts you: "Hold on tight." He steps on the accelerator.
"!!!" Your body is suddenly pressed against the backrest due to inertia, and you quickly grab the handle diagonally above you.
The pointer on Akai's speedometer soared to the red area, and the Chevrolet weaved in and out of the traffic flow flexibly, passing by other cars in a dangerous manner, which was as thrilling as a special effect in a movie.
Can you drive so fast in the city? ? You are speeding! Your heart is almost in your throat, and you hold the handrail tightly, your hands are white.
Akai's face was calm, and he turned the steering wheel with ease. He finally braked suddenly and you almost hit the seat in front of you.
"We're here." He said lightly.
You: “…Thank you.”
Akai and Amuro both play extreme speed racing, but it seems that Gin is the most law-abiding and avoids scratches every day. A weird sentence suddenly pops up in your mind.
You check your phone. Only five minutes have passed.
It was really fast... You got out of the car holding the door, and Teitan Elementary School was right in front of you.
"Let's save the reward for now," Akai added.
Huh?" You look back and respond, "Oh, okay."
Akai looked at your back, then lowered his head and took out his cell phone.
In front of him were photos and messages sent by Judy. Akai thought for a moment and started typing a reply.
[He receives things with his right hand, not a left-handed person. There is no thread at the joint between the thumb and index finger, and the tip of his index finger and the palm of his left hand are relatively smooth, not like someone who often holds a gun.
There is a cord on the left side of the middle finger of the right hand, which is slightly deformed and shows the traces left by holding the pen for a long time.
Others remain to be seen. 】
The children are queuing inside to prepare for the physical examination.
The children are divided into groups. The teacher first writes down the names of one group, and then takes the list to take the children to the physical examination.
The three detectives ran to the front with laughter, and ended up going in for the physical examination just in front of the group. Conan, Ai, and Jingguang were in the next group, recording names.
Teacher Kobayashi was writing a few words when the ink bottle next to him was suddenly knocked over. Teacher Kobayashi screamed and quickly picked up the paper, but most of it was still stained black by ink.
You said apologetically, "Sorry, sorry! It's a bit crowded here, I wasn't paying attention just now..."
Teacher Xiaolin looked a little worried: "This... looks like I have to copy it all over again."
“I’m so sorry!” You put your hands together, “Let me help and organize the kids to line up again~”
"Okay." Teacher Kobayashi looked at you, a little confused, "Come to think of it, who are you...?"
"Parent, haha~" You pointed at Conan and the others who were looking surprised, "——Something happened at home, notify the children to go home."
"Why are you here?" Jingguang blinked.
“I’ll explain it later.” You half-knelt down, leaned close to Jingguang’s ear, and spoke quickly in a voice that only he could hear, “…Vermode is here, take Ai and run home first.”
"!" Jingguang immediately understood the urgency of the situation. Although he had many questions, now was not the time to ask them.
He turned around and said to Ai with a smile: "Habara, the doctor has something to ask you, let's go home first."
"Doctor?" Xiao Ai frowned slightly.
"Let's talk on the way. Hurry up~" Jingguang took Xiaoai's hand and walked towards the school gate, "Let's take a taxi back."
"Hey, what's going on?" Conan looked confused.
You patted Conan's shoulder and said, "Stop looking. Come and help. Organize the children to line up and rewrite their names."
"?" Conan's eyes half-mooned, "What..." He was pushed by you into the circle of children and began to organize everyone to stand in line.
You stand next to Mr. Kobayashi again, pick up the piece of waste paper and crumple it into a ball, intending to completely destroy the body.
"Is that Jiang Lai-kun?" A familiar voice came from behind, making you jump.
You slowly turn around and behind you is the newly appointed doctor wearing a white coat and with a warm smile on his face.
Bermode. You feel a little scared.
"Dr. Shindo?" Conan asked in surprise, "Wasn't the doctor who did the physical examination today Dr. Tanaka?"
"Oh, there was an emergency at home, so I came to take his place." Dr. Shinde said to Conan with a smile, "Because the next group of children haven't gone in for a long time, I came out to take a look. What happened?"
"It was just a small accident," Mr. Kobayashi replied. "It will be fine soon, Dr. Shinchu."
"Yeah, it's okay. We still have plenty of time today." Dr. Shinde smiled, then turned to face you, "Long time no see, Jiang Lai-kun."
Dr. Shinchu extends his right hand, as if to shake your hand. But in your right hand is a crumpled list of names.
"..." Your mind was filled with thoughts, and you slowly raised your arms. Conan suddenly ran over and grabbed your hands, "Brother Jiang Lai! We're going to take pictures later, please help me fix my collar~ I'm not very good at it~"
Conan didn't know what was happening exactly, but his keen intuition told him that the situation was not good.
You were stunned at first, then you bent down with a smile, turned your back to Dr. Shindou, raised your hand to carefully straighten Conan's collar, and rolled the paper ball into Conan's hat in the blind spot of your sight.
Good teammate, Conan. You silently give him a thumbs up in your heart.
Then you naturally stood up and shook hands with Dr. Shinde. "Long time no see~ Come to think of it - this is only the second time we've met."
"Yes, but I still admire Jiang Lai-kun very much. You were very brave on the bus at that time." said Dr. Arata.
“Haha, some heroic complex ~ just like a newborn ox is not afraid of a tiger, but actually I was also scared at that time.” You touched your nose and laughed.
"The list of new doctors has been recorded." Teacher Kobayashi shouted.
"Okay, I'm here." Dr. Arata replied in a gentle tone.
You breathed a sigh of relief in your heart, but the next moment, Dr. Shinchu suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Jiang Lai-kun seems a little afraid of me? Your body has been in a tense state."
"..." You paused, "I've been afraid of doctors since I was a kid... because of injections, and I have some conditioned reflex when I see white coats."
"Oh, is that so?" Dr. Shindou nodded and curled his lips at you, "It's nice to meet you. I'll go to work first."
"Goodbye!" You respond enthusiastically on the surface, but secretly wish you would never see each other again.
Maybe this crisis has been averted for now? You think. Then comes the question of explanation.
You believe that Jingguang will not reveal his identity information to Conan and Ai. This is the basic respect for cooperation.
You don't want Conan and Ai to know too much for the time being, as it would cause a lot of trouble, so you have to find a way to explain it all.
The author has something to say:
Akai Shuichi will not tell Bayonetta directly, the FBI will follow Bayonetta's lead~ (and you are not very familiar with Akai...)
But he won't completely ignore you. Your value is still unknown, so it's still okay to lend a hand (of course not for free 233).
Sister Bei didn't know Jingguang's identity before the physical examination, and she was a little concerned about Jingguang, but her attention was still on Haibara.
I am somewhat curious about you, but I won't delve into it too deeply.
I used to charge 2000+ per chapter, but it seems that the custom in Jinjiang is 3000+ per chapter, so I'll just charge 3000+ per chapter from now on, haha.
The voting results are posted in the previous chapter comments~ Follow route B, and at the same time, according to the wishes of the majority of people, do not (actively) reveal the horse for the time being~
I suggest you don’t get too close to the FBI in the early stages (on the surface) because there is a fake wine route later on. If you get too close, it may be very difficult in the later stages (doubtful upup)~
