241.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was blazing outside. The location of the research institute was not remote, but whether it was to go to Shinsou's safe house or to ask about Shirley's residence, it would probably take some distance to go there, and it would feel awkward to go back either way.
This road must eventually come to an end. When Chiyoya Saori walked to the door with the girl in her arms, she finally figured out what she should do.
Eat!
Chiyoya Saori didn't believe that Gin's family would remember to prepare food for Shirley, and the kid probably didn't dare to ask too much, as it was very likely that she had been hungry all the way here.
But considering Shinsou's personality, taking Shirley away could be considered a tit-for-tat with Vermouth, and being more considerate would be a bit too much.
Chiyoya Saori took out her cell phone, handed it to Shirley with one hand, and said to her, "Call Amuro Toru and ask him to come pick us up."
It should not be too late for her to go to the forum and ask Miyano Shiho what she likes to eat!
The brown-haired girl was apparently stunned for a moment, but she still picked up her phone foolishly and found the only eye-catching name among a bunch of numbers written on it.
I dialed the number, and after two beeps, it went through.
A pleasant male voice came from inside: "Shinso?"
Shirley subconsciously looked up at Chiyogaya Saori and found that she was looking at the sign of the research institute indifferently, as if she could see a flower. She felt helpless for no reason. She cleared her throat and said, "This is Shirley..."
---------
When Fūya Rei heard a female voice that was obviously much younger coming from the other end of the phone, he was stunned for a moment.
He was currently practicing shooting independently at the organization's training base. The surroundings were empty and he could only hear the sound of the carousel in the amusement park on the virtual screen.
Although I don't know why the scene simulates the congressman in an amusement park, the murder scene next to the carousel becomes weird when combined with the children's voices.
"Shirley?" Some horror movies that he and his peers had watched flashed through Rei Furiya's mind, and he repeated it subconsciously.
Shirley choked before she finished the second half of her sentence. She said speechlessly, "Shirley is a code name!"
Fūya Rei coughed lightly, then responded and said in a serious tone, "Is there something wrong with Shinso?"
"Shinso asked you to pick her up at the entrance of xx Research Institute."
"Why didn't she call herself?" Fūya Ling frowned, and countless extremely brutal scenes of Shinsou being seriously injured and unable to move flashed through his mind. "Do you want me to bring anything?"
Shirley said simply: "Take it in the car."
Fūya Rei: “…”
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with bringing people in the car when picking them up.
Before he could say anything else, the call was hung up.
Furutani Rei put the phone back into his pocket and thought as he cleaned up the mess, how come there are codenamed members in the organization who sound so young? Do all criminals have to be arrested from a young age now?
What a rubbish organization, he will uproot it sooner or later!
[#I'm Shirley, who are you? I'm Shirley! ##Come to pick someone up, what are you taking with you? Take the car! #Hahahahaha what kind of idiotic conversation is this, Lingling wake up!]
[Why did my sister let Shirley be beaten by Amuro Toru? Does my sister have enough physical strength to hug someone with two hands? (Suddenly lost)]
[Not really, not really. #Picture: Dial List# You can see there are only a few numbers in the list, all of which are pre-numbered. Only the newly added Amuro Toru is a name. I guess my sister is used to calling directly by voice, and she didn’t have time to change Amuro Toru’s name. It’s probably a bit difficult for her to see the small screen clearly with her eyesight…
I guess it's OK to just call out Toru Amuro, but that would be like exposing my weakness directly in front of Shirley. It seems that Shinsou is a super strong-willed person in his daily life.]
[(The smile suddenly disappears) I’m killing the organization, wuwuwu, is there any hope for my sister Shinso’s eyesight? It’s really too painful to be unable to see. It’s heartbreaking to think about a strong person being exposed to strange gazes.]
[Knock, stop howling. If Zero and Shirley collide now, then Huibara Ai will be exposed in no time. What else is this Red Fangbo going to do in this episode?! It feels like the old thief is going to do something big!]
[shock!]
-----------
Chiyoya Saori never thought that a phone call between Furuya Rei and Shirley could elevate their thoughts to such a noble level as destroying the organization. She looked at the answers given by netizens on the forum and fell into deep thought.
[Would it really be unbearably sweet to eat a peanut butter and blueberry jam sandwich together?]
The customer service replied: [Will you really not get poisoned if you mix mustard, chili and soybean paste together? ]
Chiyoya Saori: […This is really delicious! ]
Okay, they all have special flavors, don’t complain about anyone.
While waiting for the netizen's reply, she also checked out the comics. Most of the scenes in the comics were devoted to the two members of the Bomb Disposal Team who were defusing the bomb, and a few pages were devoted to Furuya Rei who was shooting alone. The rest of the scenes were devoted to the physical examinations of Shinsou and Vermode.
But this scene is not from beginning to end, but excerpts from the moment Shirley was threatened by Belmode until she left. At the end, the short theater played Mizumoto Yuka's initial fierce words, ending with a funny ending, which successfully made the readers happy.
Chiyoya Saori looked at the back of Vermode's hand which turned red after she put her claw on it, and she inexplicably wanted to laugh.
[Ahh! Pure and natural little Shiho, Loli is so cute, let aunt kiss you! mua!]
[Did the feud between Shirley and Sister Bay start so early? It seems that it is indeed related to the experiment that the Miyano family took over. However, Shirley is only eleven years old now. It is too brave for the organization to hand over the experiment to her.]
[She should be allowed to observe and practice. Such a large experiment must have a team! Hehehe, imagine a genius beauty followed by a group of bald researchers. Shiho's domineering attitude instantly comes out.]
[Knock, Shinsou sister! I can’t close my legs! She doted on Rei in the previous episode, and now she is the hero who saves Shirley. Is Ning the red side’s favor collection device? ! It feels like Shinsou is just one step away from becoming the Red Hammer!!]
[Suddenly I realize that Shinsou, Shirley, and Sister Bei are all closely related to Gin. What kind of a battleground is this for the scandalous girlfriends group? (Tactical retreat)]
[No! Qin Ye, a killer who is so emotional, is not worthy of the feelings of a beautiful sister (cold)]
[Think about it this way, Toru killed all the police academy members by himself, Shinsou killed all the protagonists by himself, the red team has definitely got a big gift package, so I just want to ask you! Who else! Is there!? ]
[But the elder sister is showing signs of becoming popular, and Toru has become so smeared that the old thief won’t even give her a shot (quietly)]
[Zhao! You jumped up and stabbed me in such a happy chapter. Is this fair?!
But speaking of Toru... Now Zero and Hiro already know that Shinsou is her sister, they will definitely tell Toru, and then I'm afraid that - I'll suppress the two Bean Bourbon and Granmani and start a fight sooner or later (closed eyes)]
Chiyoya Saori also made a move. She suppressed all the beans in the forum to the point that Bourbon and Gran Marni would definitely not fight, and then she was warned by the system.
#Strictly prohibit banker manipulation#
Chiyotani Hayori: "..." That's fine.
She closed the forum, subconsciously touched Shirley's soft hair of exceptionally good texture, and put the frozen child on the ground.
242.
In the shadows beneath the institute's name-writing sign, two figures, one tall and one short, one black and one white, stood side by side. Upon hearing the noise, they both looked at him expressionlessly, their indifferent expressions being the same.
This was the scene that Rei Furutani saw when he drove to the entrance of the research institute.
If he wasn't very clear about Shinsou's age, it would be easy to misunderstand these two people with such similar temperaments.
He subconsciously twitched his lips, kicked this nonsensical thought out of his mind, raised a gentle smile and said: "Shinso, what do you want me to come over for? It's not even six o'clock yet."
Chiyoya Saori had already checked the nearest cafe that sold sandwiches. She dragged Shirley into the car and sat in the back seat, then gave Furiya Rei an address.
"So, is this lady Shirley?" During the drive, Furuya Ling couldn't help but ask, "I'm sorry for being rude on the phone just now."
Shirley crossed her arms and said indifferently, "I don't mind. After all, a fool wouldn't be able to memorize all the wine names, right?"
The little genius, who is still arrogant at heart, doubts the reliability of Shinsou's stupid subordinate.
Someone just refused to admit that she saw Shinsou's mouth curl up several degrees when she hung up the phone!
Shirley thinks it's all Toru Amuro's fault!
Furuya Rei: “.”
He looked through the rearview mirror and discovered that the look in his childhood friend Loli's eyes revealed a sense of vigilance and scrutiny, and a look of disdain that he couldn't hide.
He said with a wry smile, "It's my fault. I didn't expect such a young child to be a researcher. After all, I remember that the tables in the laboratory were quite high."
Shirley's expression froze. She looked up and saw the blond man's meaningful expression from the rearview mirror. She immediately said, "That's better than you who didn't even get a code name!"
Fūya Rei: “…”
Can he still say that he has only joined the organization not long ago!
Shirley saw Toru Amuro puffing up his face a little depressed, snorting softly, and leaning back in his seat with some complacency. After she came to her senses, she glanced cautiously at Shinsou who was sitting next to her. Seeing that the latter didn't seem to pay attention to this scene, she felt relieved and shook her feet happily.
Chiyoya Saori sat aside and pretended to close her eyes and rest, but she was actually laughing happily in her heart. She tried hard to hold back her laughter and turned her attention to the window.
But when she thought of the arrogant guy Furuya Rei being killed by a little kid with one blow, she wanted to send this scene to a group message to other people.
[It’s such a shame that I can’t upload it now, hahaha! If I have the chance after everything is over, I will definitely tell Matsuda and the others! ]
Chiyoya Sawa recorded all of this in the forum with her mind, and her desire to seize the opportunity was obvious.
--------------
"Tinkle."
"Welcome—"
The curtained door was opened, and the wind chimes made a crisp clanging sound. Furutani Rei took the lead and walked to the counter. After the two ladies caught up, he asked considerately: "Can you introduce the signature food in the store?"
The waitress was stunned for a moment: "Okay, the more famous ones in our store are..."
"Shirley, you take your pick."
Chiyoya Soori pushed the menu in front of the tea-haired girl, and after she selected the food hesitantly, she casually returned the menu to her: "Prepare two servings in total, just like her."
Shirley looked up at her in surprise, as if she had not expected that there was someone with the same taste as her.
"You..." Furuya Rei just opened his mouth to speak.
Chiyoya Saori interrupted him directly and pulled Shirley to sit in an empty seat: "You order and pay later."
Could it be that this guy just ordered randomly because he couldn't see clearly? Furuya Rei frowned secretly.
He looked at the sandwich that Shirley had made with a lot of sauce on it and felt that it was not something that normal people would taste.
After thinking about it, Rei Furuya chose two sandwiches that were nothing out of the ordinary.
"Sir, the store is having a promotion. If you order a family meal, you can get a 50% discount." The waiter said helplessly, "Your wife acted too quickly just now. I didn't have time to tell her. Do you want to change it now?"
What the hell is Madam!
Fūya Rei unconsciously touched his face, somewhat incredulous.
He is only 22 this year!
No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for her to give birth to a child over ten years old, okay!
He quickly said, "No, we're just ordinary friends! Just settle the bill!"
The waiter settled the bill with some regret.
The seat we randomly chose for Chiyodani Hayato was close to the window. There were many people having afternoon tea in the store at this time, so it was a relatively quiet area.
There were many magazines under the glass table. Shirley was flipping through one of them with some boredom while waiting. Neither of them paid attention to what was happening at the counter.
Furiya Reizuki breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. He had wanted to just sit there and have a meal, and then he would be done for the day after sending the people back. However, before he could put a smile on his face, he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures in police uniforms walking by the window while chatting.
There was still dust on the faces of Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, and they had not put down the large toolboxes in their hands, but their expressions did not show any tension or anxiety. Instead, they revealed relaxation and helplessness.
Furutani Rei immediately figured out that the two guys had probably just defused a bomb nearby, and now he didn't know why they were strolling around outside leisurely instead of taking the police car back.
But as soon as the thought of analysis came to my mind, my hair started to stand on end.
There are two members of the organization sitting next to him!
If these two people discover my identity, the consequences will be disastrous!
Furiya Ling stood up with a whoosh, walked to the window and immediately closed the curtains. With cold sweat on his back, he smiled and said, "The sun is a bit strong. Girls should pay attention to sun protection."
Shirley: “?”
The brown-haired girl was speechless as she watched the sunlight only shine on the tops of her shoes.
Chiyoya Saori didn't understand what Furuya Rei was doing. She was thinking about where to put Shirley when the time came, and before that she had to say hello to the BOSS.
She picked up the lemonade on the table, took a sip, and continued to be in a daze.
-----------
"Really? Nowadays, there are people who mistake an old-fashioned wall clock for a bomb. We were so surprised." Matsuda Jinpei curled his lips. "We were already in the car and ready to go back to enjoy the air conditioning, but we were called off halfway."
"But it's on the way, so it's not a big deal. Just take it as a walk. It's better than being called out again when you go back." Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile, "It's a good thing it's not real, otherwise it would be difficult to wear such a heavy protective suit."
Matsuda Jinpei nodded in agreement, but before he could say anything, he caught a glimpse of a blond figure flashing by. The other person quickly closed the curtain, leaving only a tall and thin shadow.
The curtains of the cafe are made of a single layer of light gold gauze, which is hazy and has a nice feel, but it also cannot completely cover up the scene inside.
"Hey, Hagi, what do you think are the chances of running into a blond-haired, dark-skinned guy in Japan?" Jinpei Matsuda poked Kenji Hagiwara with his elbow.
Hagiwara Kenji raised his eyebrows and said, "You can just click on Kouguchi's name. There are so many mixed-race people like him in Japan that you can't even count them on one hand."
His eyes followed the direction of Matsuda Jinpei and stopped at the flashing cafe sign: "Hmm? Are you looking inside?"
"I only saw a shadow." Matsuda Jinpei said with interest, "But it looks like it's not a person."
The two men looked at each other, and at the same time took down the bomb disposal device and put it aside. They moved to the glass window of the cafe and looked inside through the gap in the curtain that was not fully drawn.
I saw a young man with blond hair and dark skin wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his wrists, revealing his healthy skin. There were obviously two people sitting opposite him, but only half of their bodies could be seen. Their specific appearances could not be seen clearly, but I could tell that they were two women, one big and one small.
The waiter was placing stacks of sandwiches on the table, along with milk and coffee.
"Oh~~~" Hagiwara Kenji made the sound unconsciously.
It was obvious that Shi Hammer was a colleague whom they could not contact. At this moment, Furutani Rei had a gentle smile on his face that was rarely seen on other days. He pushed the stack of sandwiches in front of him to the other side, looking attentive.
"Oh my—" Matsuda Jinpei sucked in a breath of cool air, feeling a little sore in his teeth.
Hagiwara Kenji murmured: "This is a serious situation!"
"Good boy, you haven't contacted us for such a long time, and now you are here to pick up girls?" Matsuda Jinpei said, "Furiya Rei, you are really good."
"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Hagiwara Kenji leaned his shoulder against Matsuda Jinpei, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
Matsuda Jinpei groaned: "Go! We must go!"
"But this guy is not the kind of guy who forgets his friends for the sake of a beautiful woman. We have to make some preparations."
Hagiwara Kenji immediately understood what the child was talking about, and the two of them immediately picked up their bags and slipped into a clothing store not far away, where they cleaned themselves up, ready for a surprise attack.
Inside the café, Fūya Rei, who was eating a sandwich, looked out the window subconsciously and found that there was no one outside. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, those two guys didn’t see it!
