I secretly felt a pang of regret for it.
There aren't many opportunities to make Shuichi Akai suffer a setback.
He succeeded, but couldn't take a photo to commemorate the moment; it was truly a regret in his life.
Looking at Shuichi Akai, whose face was still flushed, Kōyū asked him casually:
"Since this place is on fire, I'll be leaving now."
"I'll see how things go about the deal."
His tone made it seem as if none of this had anything to do with him.
Turning his head to glance at Kōyū, who was about to leave, Akai Shuichi said calmly:
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"How about we go somewhere else and have another drink?"
"Don't worry, I'll pay."
He didn't seem to care about his appearance at the moment.
But he wanted to ask more about Mingmei's situation.
This area is a residential area.
He had just inspected the house that was on fire.
The flames burned away many of the marks.
Fortunately, he found some traces of human habitation in a corner where the fire had not yet spread.
not much.
But this is enough to prove that the house is usually occupied, and it is not the kind of empty house that has been uninhabited for many years.
It's convenient as long as someone lives there.
He can have someone investigate the owner of the house.
And has anyone recently rented this house?
If everything goes smoothly, we can follow the clues and investigate the information on the man in black robes' subordinates, and even the man in black robes himself.
At that time, it will be much easier for them to take action.
However, investigations take time.
He wanted to keep the man in black robes to buy his men some time to investigate.
If the man in black robes is allowed to leave, he will have enough time to devise a countermeasure.
With such an obvious intention, how could Guangyou not see it?
Unlike Shuichi Akai's hints, he put it out in the open:
"You want to investigate me?"
Actually, he didn't intend to leave; he still needed to bring Shuichi Akai to the apartment.
He was just thinking about what reason to use to trick him into going.
In order to bring this persecution plan to a close, he cannot reveal his identity to Shuichi Akai yet.
Just when I was feeling sleepy, someone offered me a pillow.
Perfect timing! He readily agreed.
"Since you seem so sincere, let's go."
His quick agreement took Shuichi Akai by surprise.
According to normal circumstances, Guangyou should have said to him:
"You should go drink it yourself."
"I still need to go and see how that woman is doing now," or something like that.
But Guangyou did not.
It's as if they're not worried about anything going wrong at all.
Such people are either too naive.
They either believe they can defeat him or have the ability to escape unscathed.
Or perhaps he possesses leverage that prevents him from acting rashly.
Previous conversations led Shuichi Akai to rule out the former, while the latter two are quite possible.
However, this is a good thing.
The longer it takes, the more detailed his investigation will be.
He could also ask the man in black about Mingmei.
"That coffee shop this morning?" Shuichi Akai asked, walking beside the man in black robes with his hands in his pockets.
His rosy cheeks covered in dust and his clothes with several burn holes did not affect him.
He didn't even think to tidy himself up or get ready first.
Right now, what he wants to do most is go to the coffee shop and have a good talk with the man in the black robe.
Kyou, having regained his identity as the man in the black robe, slowed down his pace.
He looked Shuichi Akai up and down in his disheveled state and couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at you now?"
Are you sure you won't get kicked out?
Although coffee shops are not Western restaurants, there is no rule that formal attire is required to enter.
But a place that looks like a refugee is not welcome not only by cafes but also by any restaurant.
It's not because of discrimination.
The business mainly wanted to protect the interests of the majority of customers and save some trouble, so it established this somewhat unreasonable rule.
From the merchant's perspective, there was nothing wrong with this.
It's just that some businesses use insulting language to drive them away, which is an inappropriate method.
These are all digressions.
In short, given Shuichi Akai's current appearance, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go to a coffee shop or his apartment.
It's impossible to let Shuichi Akai meet Akemi, who is dressed up beautifully, looking like this.
He made no attempt to hide the disdain in his tone:
"I think you should go buy some clothes or wash your face first."
"Otherwise, they might turn us away."
Now that some time has passed, the redness on Shuichi Akai's face has almost completely faded.
However, the marks on his face and the holes in his clothes were still quite noticeable.
Even if you don't want to change your clothes, you should at least wash your face, right?
Then, Guangyou said very generously:
"Besides, didn't you want to investigate me?"
"I'll take you to my apartment."
"I'm not exaggerating. If I didn't want you to know, you would never find my information."
"As for whether there are any traps in my apartment..."
"Take a guess?"
"I want to go back and rest for a while, and then wait for my people to give me news."
"As for you, it's up to you."
"If you want to come with me, then come with me."
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you."
He's gone a bit too far.
