Chapter 3636

Furiya Rei once again looked at the tray, his thoughts paused for a moment, then started moving quickly again.

There is no magnet... This is the most superficial statement. He knew that this was definitely not what the person in front of him meant.

So what is the deeper meaning?

Zhufu Jingguang was also in deep thought, and at the same time he felt a little sad. What a pity, he didn't learn more codewords.

Asahiki held up the overturned tray and showed it to the two undercover police officers in front of him. After fully demonstrating his innocence, he put the tray back to its original position.

When the iron tray fell, there was a slight "ding" sound. The sound was not loud, but for the trained Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu, it was enough to attract their attention.

Furuya raised his eyes subconsciously and caught a glimpse of the tray that had been put down. Immediately afterwards, the confusion in his heart seemed to be solved with a click.

——The magnet and the iron tray are two different objects in themselves, but when they are close together, they will attract each other and make a slight sound when they collide, which clearly reveals the characteristics of the two.

This is probably a metaphor.

What he meant was that, although his senior in the police academy was not from the same batch and did not hold the same position as the two of them, if they were too close, it would still be easy for them to collide and expose each other's identities.

Asahi Yuaki deliberately turned the tray over, probably meaning that even if they contacted each other secretly, they might be discovered.

The phrase "no magnet" means not to unite for the time being, reduce unnecessary contacts, and avoid being discovered.

In fact, this is what undercover work is like, be cautious and careful at every step. He and Hiro were coincidentally assigned to the same assessment group, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Now, they have to pretend that they know each other, but they can't be too close, otherwise it will be easy for one to expose the other.

After Furuya Rei had sorted out his thoughts, he suddenly felt enlightened. He and Morobushi Kagemitsu looked at each other, and they both saw the same conclusion in each other's eyes.

Fūya Rei guessed that Asahi Yuaki had probably already noticed the Black Organization's recent observations and knew that they would send members of the organization to investigate, which was why he reminded them in such a subtle way today to pay attention to the concealment of the undercover agents.

Speaking of undercover, Fūya Rei's thoughts wandered a little. He suddenly remembered what his boss had told him before he went undercover.

…

"Due to regulations, I cannot tell you about other undercover information in the organization. However, there is one person who is quite special, and I think I can tell you about him."

Fūya Rei's purple-gray eyes were bright and he stood steadily, waiting for his boss' next words.

"That person's code name is [Nightingale]," the boss said, "He was an undercover agent in that organization a long time ago, and now we have lost contact with him. If conditions permit, I hope you can find out about [Nightingale]'s situation."

[Nightingale]? Furuya Rei thought to himself, remembering this key information, and then asked, "I see. I guess that person must be quite old? I can narrow it down based on this. Or, you can just tell me more personal information."

However, the boss shook his head and said, "Actually, we don't have any more information about that person."

No? How could it be? Furuya Ling was stunned: "Aren't all the undercover information archived?"

"Yes, we have information about the first generation of [Nightingale]," the boss said, "but after the organization's purge, the first generation of [Nightingale] lost contact. It was not until later, a year later, that new information was sent from the [Nightingale] email account."

"Based on the language style and other information, that person was not the original [Nightingale], but someone else."

The boss paused for a moment before continuing, "We didn't trust that person at first, but later when all the intelligence matched, we truly believed that he was the descendant of Nightingale."

"But later... the second generation [Nightingale] also lost its trace." The boss said in a low voice, "If possible, I hope you can confirm the situation of that person."

"That person might be a nameless person in the organization. We can give him a formal identity... I always feel that he is still a child."

"Child?" Fōtani Rei's face showed some surprise when he heard this.

"Because in addition to intelligence information, the second generation [Nightingale] always sends things like flowers, plants, the sun, the moon, and small animals on the roadside to the mailbox. It feels very childlike and leisurely. People in the intelligence team like that guy very much."

The boss's serious face showed a slight smile, and he sighed, "So, maybe it's still a child."

"..." Furuya Rei didn't know how to respond.

The boss finally straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, this undercover mission is handed over to you! While ensuring your own safety, you can try to collect the whereabouts of [Nightingale] - we are waiting for your triumphant return."

"Yes!" Fūya Rei straightened his back and replied loudly and firmly.

…

That must be another unknown senior, Furuya Rei thought. I wonder what happened to that senior [Nightingale]?

His thoughts were processed for only a moment, and then he was called back by Chao Ri Xi Qiu's voice.

"Is there anything else you need?" Chao Ri Xi Qiu put down the tray. Seeing that the two people in front of him had not moved, he could not help but ask.

The blond-haired, dark-skinned young man turned around and replied slowly with a steady voice, nodding: "...No need. We already know."

Already know? Oh, that's good. Asahi Yuaki breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that they have seen that he is a good shopkeeper of the new era who runs his business with integrity.

Now the business review will be passed!

Chao Ri Xi Qiu's eyebrows slightly curved, and as his mood improved, he became more talkative, and continued: "Do you want to buy melons? Special offer during the first three days of opening. All the melons in my store are guaranteed to be ripe - if they are fake, I will compensate you tenfold."

Morofu Jingguang blinked his blue-gray eyes, and a smile twitched at the corners of his lips: "Sure, give it one."

He knew that if he returned empty-handed after entering the store and talking to people at close range, it would be easy for the potential supervisors of the organization who might be secretly watching to think that he had ulterior motives or was not working diligently. In order to be prepared, it was better to bring something with him.

Besides, if Gin asked them for some results, at least they had something to show for it.

Fūya Rei had the same idea as his childhood friend, so he followed suit and casually clicked on the watermelon next to him: "This is it."

Although he didn't use any force, the watermelon that he touched with his finger actually rolled to the side and almost fell into the watermelon basket next to it.

Fortunately, Chao Ri Xi Qiu had quick hands and quickly held it down, preventing it from running away and falling.

"You want this one? No problem." Chao Ri Xi Qiu smiled and, adhering to the principle that customers are God, picked up the melon that the customer had personally chosen.

He placed the watermelon on the chopping board, holding it with one hand, and picked up the watermelon knife beside him with the other hand: "You want to eat it today, right? I'll cut it for you, and you can check whether it's done to your satisfaction right away."

Chao Ri Xi Qiu is very confident in his watermelons. Moreover, these watermelons in his store are all the good ones that he had diligently searched for in the streets and alleys every day before he actually opened the store.

Both the appearance and the maturity are absolutely excellent.

Chao Ri Xi Qiu straightened his back, his lips curled up in a smile, and he raised his knife and split the watermelon in a snap!

The oval watermelon is perfectly divided into two halves, one half raw and the other half ripe.

Morning Sun and Evening Autumn:?

Why the hell is it the Yin-Yang melon again? ! !

Seeing the half-cooked Yin-Yang melon, Chao Ri Xi Qiu consciously clasped the melon with both hands, his movements as fast as lightning.

Then he held down the watermelon that had already been cut, froze for a few seconds, and silently comforted himself that he had seen it wrong.

...It shouldn't have any raw parts. The last time such a Yin-Yang melon appeared was when we were facing the unscrupulous brewery Kuroshirokai member codenamed Gin.

That's enough, Xiguajun, look carefully, the person in front of you is not from the Black Society, but a good person who is undercover! Don't make a mistake!!

I'll give you ten seconds to cook it for me! If it's not cooked, I'll sell you as melon rinds - and then I'll strip you completely naked, watermelon man.

Chaohi Xiqiu complained in his heart. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and tried to open the watermelon in his hand a little bit.

This time, the whole half of the raw melon was gone. Most of the flesh was red, with only a raw light-colored area in the middle. The overall structure looked like a big question mark.

Chaori Xiqiu: "..."

Are you still questioning? What are you questioning, Watermelon!

Fūya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu both lowered their eyes and looked over. They noticed the punctuation marks on the melon flesh and were slightly startled.

But perhaps because they controlled their expressions well, or perhaps because they were already accustomed to the magical existence of street melons, the two were not too surprised.

Chaori Xiqiu laughed dryly and finally put down his hand that was holding the melon: "...Okay, there was a small problem. Haha, don't pay attention to this melon, I'll peel it and sell the rind later."

On sale! All on sale!

He touched his nose and said seriously, "I said that before - if it's fake, I'll pay ten times the price. I'll do it."

Chao Ri Xi Qiu looked at the two of them with a calm expression. He pointed to the warehouse not far to the side and said, "There are some watermelons stored in there. It should be enough for ten. You can take them all."

Take ten? Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a second. He opened his mouth and wanted to refuse subconsciously, but then he felt that the person in front of him would not waste his time.

...The senior must have had his reasons for doing this!

Just take it, just ten melons, he and Zero can still carry it!

=

Safe house.

Shuichi Akai sat back on the sofa, thinking about his future plans.

The sound of a door opening was heard from the entrance, and Akai Hide's consciousness tensed up immediately, like a cheetah ready to pounce, with every muscle brewing with dynamic beauty and power.

He narrowed his green eyes and stared straight ahead.

The door opened - the first thing that came into view was not a human figure, but a big round watermelon.

Akai Shuichi: "...?"

He sat up straight, and then saw that the gap in the door was getting bigger and bigger. A young man with blond hair, dark skin and blue cat eyes squeezed in through the door, each holding five big round watermelons in their hands.

For a moment, Shuichi Akai didn't quite react because the scene was unexpectedly magical.

But after a moment, he suddenly realized that this was the watermelon in the store of the mission target.

Shuichi Akai pondered: ...Buying ten watermelons at the same time is indeed very conspicuous and may easily arouse suspicion from the target of the mission.

What a novel way to complete the mission! Cunning teammates!
