Chapter 3838

Shuichi Akai:?

Melon rind? What melon rind? What melon rind should I buy? ? ?

I can understand each word individually, but when they are put together, they become something incomprehensible... Could it be some secret code, or a mysterious contact signal of the organization?

Akai Shuichi fell into a brief silence. But he knew that facing a question that he couldn't answer, the worst thing to do was to stand there motionless.

Especially for people like them who walk on the line between life and death, they must always hide their weaknesses.

So, even though Akai Shuichi didn't realize the meaning of those words, he still looked very relaxed, replacing stiffness with movement, and casually swung the black umbrella in his hand to shake off the dripping raindrops.

Chaori Xiqiu's expression suddenly changed, and the first thought that came to his mind was: No, don't shake your umbrella like a big dog shaking its hair after taking a bath, I just mopped the floor!! QAQ

Akai Shuichi was very sensitive to line of sight. He quickly raised his head and met Asahi Yuki's eyes full of shock and condemnation. Then, he paused slightly in swinging the umbrella.

Half a second later, Akai Shuichi withdrew his hand without saying a word.

In fact, as a member of the organization, he should not have any moral or psychological burden for his behavior at this time.

It's just that this isn't a question of morality or immorality... He always feels that looking at the expression on the face of the person in front of him, if he continues to swing the umbrella casually like he did just now, the situation will most likely change to another direction.

This might be the intuition of the FBI ace agent. So Shuichi Akai calmly stopped shaking off the raindrops and placed the tip of his long-handled black umbrella on the ground.

Akai Shuichi paused again when he noticed that the person in front of him was looking along the tip of the umbrella and onto the flowing water.

I can't give in any more! That would be too unbecoming of an organization member. For a moment, Akai Shuichi suspected that the person in front of him was sent by the organization to test him, to see if he had any moral qualities to determine if he had another identity.

Then, he heard Chao Ri Xi Qiu speaking again.

"Hello sir, there is an umbrella rack at the entrance." Asahi Yuki smiled, "If you have other personal belongings, you can put them there too."

Adhering to the principle that customers are God, Chao Ri Xi Qiu is tolerant of customers like a mother and never speaks harshly to them, but this does not mean that he will tolerate everything.

It’s not too much to let customers fly an umbrella, right?

Besides, this is also for the benefit of customers! Having both hands free makes shopping more convenient.

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai's deep green eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized something.

Oh. He knew why the person in front of him was so concerned about his umbrella.

It turns out that the main issue is not dirtying the ground or any moral issues, but that the other party is worried that his umbrella is a disguised weapon.

Shuichi Akai finally understood what was going on. Putting his personal belongings on the shelf was probably a hint for him to move his weapons away before they could talk further.

The ball of yarn in Shuichi Akai's heart unfurled again.

Therefore, the previous speculation was correct. The young man with fox eyes had already had some doubts or enlightenment based on my performance in the previous six days.

I acted calm and collected before on purpose just to meet you in person today and have a good talk.

Akai Shuichi nodded slightly, and he placed his umbrella on the umbrella stand at the entrance, but there were no more.

Putting the umbrella aside means that you understand and are willing to listen to what the person in front of you says for the time being. Not discarding other weapons means that you still retain a sense of caution.

Akai Shuichi is not stupid, he will not really let go of the weapon. Especially in this environment.

Asahi Yuki saw the black-haired man in front of her put down his umbrella, and her heart was relieved. Good, it looks like there will be no more raindrops on the ground.

He then pointed to the disposable shoe cover machine next to him and said briskly, "The shoe covers are also next to it, please put them on."

This way, the house won’t be full of mud!

Akai Shuichi: “…”

What does this mean?

He lowered his eyes and observed the thing that looked like a shoe cover machine for a few seconds, then approached it cautiously, and finally stepped in tentatively.

The machine made a slight "click" sound and put on the disposable shoe covers.

It turned out to be a real shoe cover machine!

Akai Shuichi felt a little unsure how to describe his mood.

Asahi Yuqiu didn't think as much as the FBI ace. He saw the other party put down his umbrella and put on disposable shoe covers, and his mood was extremely bright: What a good customer! Although he has a cold face that will kill people if they buy raw melons, he is a reasonable person.

In a daze, Chao Ri Xi Qiu decided to give all the melon rinds to him this time - it was his first time, so he could try it for free. He could wait and see about the subsequent purchases later.

He waved his hand and said, "Follow me, sir. I'll take you to get the goods."

Shuichi Akai had just put on his shoe covers. He was still lost in thought when he heard Asahi Yuki's voice. He immediately raised his eyes, and a gleam of light that caught the key words flashed across his eyes.

[Get the goods]... As expected, he knew this mission was not easy!!

Thinking about it this way, this mission is actually a double-layered mission. The surface mission is vague, asking them to "gain suspicion", but in fact, the real inner mission is to "pick up the goods" after they actually touch this link.

Shuichi Akai could understand the reason why the double-layered mission was issued - it was simply that the organization was not confident enough in them.

This double-layered mission is mainly to prevent undercover agents or others from knowing the mission content in advance and informing the police. So they have to wait until the right time to know.

Having achieved this, I think I have passed the formal assessment of the organization. Akai Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was stacked up and intertwined, but fortunately, I still managed to get through it smoothly.

He straightened his back, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick it up."

As expected, they came to buy melon peels. Asahi Yuiaki was now convinced, and he stood up from the front desk and led Akai Shuichi to the medium-sized refrigerator at the back.

There are some watermelon rinds kept in the refrigerator. These rinds are left over from making watermelon juice by Chao Ri Xi Qiu.

He completely hollowed out the melon flesh, squeezed the juice from the sweet red flesh, and carefully cut the remaining rind into strips, neatly put them in a small square box, and stored them in the refrigerator.

Chao Ri Xi Qiu didn't know the knowledge of using watermelon rind as medicine, so he kept it at first, just thinking that maybe he could study how to carve patterns on the watermelon rind in the future.

Later, he noticed a man with long straight black hair who often appeared nearby, and then he recalled the incident with Doctor Kitamura, and then thought of someone with a unique taste who loved melon rinds.

In that case, there’s a better place for those melon rinds!

It is much better to be eaten into the stomach than to be carved into a cold pattern and placed there, because the stomach is warm.

Chaori Xiqiu feels that warmth is more important than anything else. Judging from my own experience, I think the watermelon is most likely the one who wants to be eaten more, no matter the flesh or the rind.

It's a rare opportunity to meet someone who loves melon rinds again, and Chao Ri Xi Qiu will not let go of this customer.

He had deliberately delayed the closing time of the store in recent days in order to create an opportunity for the shameless black man with straight hair to come alone.

Tonight, this person finally came.

Asahi Yuqiu opened the refrigerator, solemnly took out a box of watermelon rinds, and handed it to Akai Shuichi: "It's a new customer, the first one is free, no need to pay." He looked at the watermelon rinds that he had carefully taken care of and cut into strips, and felt a mysterious sadness, so he added, "Don't let me down."

Don’t let the melon peel down, make sure to eat them well and warm your stomach!

Akai Shuichi: “…”

Shuichi Akai looked down at the melon rinds in the fruit box, his expression blank for half a second.

However, he is an ace with excellent psychological quality. He reached out and took it smoothly, catching the key points in the words of the person in front of him.

New customers are fresh... This should be some kind of code word, implying that he knows that he is a new member of the organization and has not yet passed the assessment to become a formal code employee.

As for Mo Gufu who followed, he was most likely emphasizing the importance of this thing and wanted to hand it over to the organization intact without any accidents.

Although I don't understand why this batch of goods from the organization looks so much like watermelon rinds, perhaps this is the organization's latest way of disguising drugs... Akai Shuichi's thoughts flowed. I will find an opportunity to pass on this information in the future.

Here, he thought a little more - the watermelons that the other two temporary teammates brought back every day in the past few days must also be "goods". But they were different from his batch.

It seems that the two people also passed the assessment of the superficial tasks and got the real task of handing over and picking up the goods.

Akai Shuichi was very calm. Fortunately, he did not sit there and wait for death, but took action immediately. Otherwise, he would have been at a disadvantage in this assessment.

Although the three of them are not in a competitive relationship of three to two or three to one, there is always a contrast where there are people. If the other two complete the task and he does not, the difference will be obvious.

But on my side, it has now been completed successfully.

Shuichi Akai solemnly took the fruit box, and finally a trace of relief appeared at the end of his eyes. His eyes sparkled like the hardest and most beautiful emeralds, and his sharp eyeliner revealed a fearless pioneering power.

Finally, all the previous efforts were not in vain.

=

One week deadline has arrived.

Gin reviewed everyone's work. When he entered the safe house, he saw round watermelons piled up in the corner and several boxes of watermelon rinds in the open refrigerator door.

Gin: “…”

His hand holding the cigarette stopped in mid-air.

After two or three seconds, Gin continued to light his cigarette and replied in a calm voice: "Your understanding is acceptable and you are adapting well. Continue."

After hearing the affirmative reply, the three members of the whiskey reserve team finally relaxed their initially tense minds.

Furuya Rei & Morobushi Kagemitsu: The seniors are worthy of being the seniors... Even if they don't know about the review here, they can still help them get through it smoothly!

The mystery of getting watermelons from Asahi Xiqiu these days has finally been solved.

Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu collected melons for several days in a row, and many times they couldn't help but ask or refuse, but they always remembered the hint of the "magnet" at the beginning, so even in private, they didn't speak out to reveal their acquaintance.

Now it seems that the senior did this for a reason! Although I don't know what the organization means by collecting melons, it's okay as long as it passes.

Akai Shuichi was also thinking quickly.

It seems that the organization has really mastered the technology to make drugs look like melons and deceive the real ones. In the future, we must remind the FBI to pay more attention.

A corner where no one cares.

The young heir of Karasuma had some expectations in his heart.

Led by the organization's Top Killer, the most promising code reserve team came out to guide them. I think that person will soon return to the organization in glory!
