Turn the gears of time and go back to that day two years ago.
The weather was nice that day; the sun was shining and the temperature was pleasant.
It's a great day for a family trip.
There were many children playing in the park.
Surrounded by laughter and cheerful conversation, Shuichi Akai felt a little heavy-hearted.
In front of him stood a beautiful young woman.
Her name is Akemi Miyano.
She is his lover.
Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Akai Hide's eyes were filled with affection and a hint of guilt that he could not hide.
He has a task to complete tomorrow.
It's about arresting your current "colleague".
He also has a task today.
It was to confess to the kind girl in front of him.
Having made up his mind, Shuichi Akai said to Akemi, who was walking in front of him:
"Angmei."
"There's something I want to tell you."
“Go ahead and say it,” Akemi said without turning around, continuing to walk slowly toward the bench by the fountain.
"Actually, I'm an FBI agent."
After saying that, Shuichi Akai stopped and turned his head away expressionlessly, looking in another direction.
"FBI?"
Upon hearing those words, Akemi stopped in her tracks.
She turned around and glanced at Shuichi Akai behind her.
Those two beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but quickly returned to normal.
With a strange look in her eyes, she asked incredulously:
"Your Majesty?"
Turning their gazes away, Shuichi Akai and Akemi looked at each other, their expressions remaining calm.
His tone of voice was as calm as his expression at that moment:
"yes."
"I'm going to settle things tomorrow."
Upon receiving Shuichi Akai's affirmative answer, a hint of sadness flashed across Akemi's beautiful face.
But she quickly laughed.
He only managed a forced smile.
She said in a tone that said, "I didn't fall for your tricks."
"You idiot, if you're going to lie..."
At this point, Akemi paused for a moment.
She turned her head away, avoiding Shuichi Akai's gaze.
Then, in a slightly trembling voice, he continued:
"You should at least write a draft, and make it sound more plausible..."
"Using this excuse..."
"How could you possibly scare me!"
As she finished speaking, she turned back, her brows slightly furrowed, and looked at Shuichi Akai with tears welling in her eyes.
In the warm sunlight, the glistening tears in the corners of her eyes shimmered with a faint light.
The tears had little weight, and hadn't even started to fall from Akemi's eyes yet.
Yet at the same time, it is like a giant hammer weighing a thousand pounds.
As it sparkled and shimmered, it fell heavily, striking Shuichi Akai's heart.
This completely shattered the peace that Shuichi Akai had been trying so hard to maintain.
The usually calm man, upon seeing Akemi like this, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Akemi's shoulders with both hands.
At that moment, he didn't have time to think about why he would do something that didn't fit his public image.
His tone was no longer calm, but rather incredulous:
"You already knew, didn't you?"
He never imagined that the girl in front of him already knew his undercover identity before he confessed.
How did you know?
The words, once spoken, became:
"Since you already knew, why didn't you leave me!"
"I've been using you all along!"
The calm tone was long gone.
Even he himself didn't notice that the usually serious, calm and aloof man had become excited.
At this moment, it sounded as if he was questioning Akemi.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the regret and guilt in his words.
seem...
It seems that if Mingmei leaves him after knowing he is an undercover agent, it will lessen his guilt.
Looking up at Shuichi Akai, who was no longer the same as usual, Akemi frowned slightly, her eyes glistening with tears.
She replied to Shuichi Akai in a slightly trembling voice:
"If you don't tell me, I won't know."
...
The gears of time continued to turn, bringing us back to a day a few months ago.
He received a text message that day.
It was Mingmei Hairdresser, whom I hadn't contacted in two years.
In the text message, she shared a lot of information she knew.
There were also some words that sounded like instructions for the deceased.
Upon seeing this text message, he parted ways with his colleagues and arrived in Japan ahead of them.
Then I received news of her death.
...
Besides those messages, the text message also contained a heart-wrenching confession.
He still keeps that text message to this day.
I occasionally take it out to look at it when it's quiet at night.
He recalled the foolish woman who pretended not to know his identity after reading the text message.
...
These two stories are not long.
It only took me a few seconds to recall these things.
"call..."
With a sigh of relief, Shuichi Akai snapped out of his reverie.
He then realized that he had unconsciously gripped the recording pen tightly.
I accidentally pressed the pause button.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be emotionally agitated and question the man in black:
Where is she now?
What exactly do you want?
This behavior may impair the ability to make rational judgments.
For example, some people might just take action directly.
But this behavior itself is not wrong.
If the feelings between the two are genuine, then such a reaction is quite normal.
But he was no ordinary person after all.
In this situation, he didn't rush to ask questions, but instead pressed play and continued to listen carefully to the recording.
