Just as he was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door.

Akai Shuichi: ...

This is impossible. Akai Shuichi's originally somewhat tired brain suddenly became clear. It was impossible for someone else to come here. He usually paid his water and electricity bills on time, and there were no express deliveries or takeouts, and there was nothing that needed repairs. Moreover, it was already late at night, and people with more regular schedules might have gone to bed by now. It was impossible for a normal person to choose this time to come.

Who is it?

Shuichi Akai's body tensed up, and he quietly returned to the bedroom. Of course, he didn't hide, that wasn't his style. Shuichi Akai returned to the bedroom, quickly put on his clothes, took out the gun hidden under the bed, and after equipping everything, he quietly returned to the living room and approached the door little by little.

The knocking on the door continued in a regular pattern, but Shuichi Akai couldn't tell what it meant. It wasn't Morse code, nor any other secret code. It was just three knocks and a pause, like an agent with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Shuichi Akai approached the door silently, and began to look through the peephole from the side. An extremely familiar face appeared clearly in Shuichi Akai's eyes.

Xian started the car and it slowly drove away.

"Also, you, a member of the organization, come to me, a former undercover agent, so openly. Let's not talk about what the organization will do. Aren't you afraid that I will have someone arrest you immediately?"

"…What do you want to say?"

I told him this information, isn't that to help him?

Xian doesn’t really care to what extent Shuichi Akai can interfere. As long as he can fall into her “trap” as required when Vermouth takes action, he will be considered successful.

[But host, why do I feel like you didn't say anything? ]

Finlandia's breathing quickened a little, she looked down at the time again, and spoke faster: "Miyano Akemi must die...Are you willing to save her?"

Dai Moroboshi? Shuichi Akai raised his eyebrows. So that's how it is. Finlandia was able to restrain herself because she was facing "Shuiichi Akai" and "Dai Moroboshi". She might even think of herself as the former "Lei" instead of "FBI".

Akai Shuichi: ...

Xiao Si, is this water okay? [After testing, there is nothing in it except what normal water should contain.]

Are you sure you don't want to consider coming to the FBI? We'll help you with whatever questions you have."

Is it "can't" tell him, rather than "don't want" to tell him?

"Okay, I get it. I'll pay attention this month." Akai Shuichi shrugged and smiled at Finlandia.

Something is not right with the organization recently, as if some big move is taking place, so big that even the research laboratory has been affected.

This information should not have been shown to him, so Shuichi Akai guessed that Finlandia could already resist the "rules" set for him by the gentleman in the organization to a certain extent, and Finlandia himself was also very clear about the bottom line of this "degree".

Shuichi Akai waited for a while and was sure that Finlandia was coming for him. If he didn't open the door tonight, Finlandia would probably knock all night. Shuichi Akai had no choice but to adjust his posture and open the door.

Along with the sound of the door opening, Shuichi Akai also met Finlandia, a member of the organization whom he had not seen since they parted in the United States.

[…When it comes to being unscrupulous, you are the one, host. ]

“…You don’t need to know this.” The gentle smile on Finlandia’s face had disappeared, replaced by a more complicated expression. He seemed unwilling to say more, just stood up and walked towards the door. “This mission was initiated by Vermouth, and most of the members in Japan were involved. Miyano Akemi is just a small part…”

In the living room, Finlandia was drinking the water poured by Akai Shuichi with a calm face.

Finlandia blinked and gave a signature smile: "Good evening, why don't you invite me in for a seat... Akai Shuichi?"

"Eh? I thought we were already very familiar with each other." Finlandia walked inside while looking around Akai Shuichi's small apartment, then turned around and looked at Akai Shuichi with a smile in her eyes, "After all, we are... friends who have risked our lives for each other?"

Finlandia put his right hand into his pocket, as if he was going to take out a gun. After Akai Shuichi made a defensive move, his pupils shrank, and he seemed to remember something. He pressed his right arm with his left hand and leaned back.

"...Don't tell me you came here just to drink water?" Akai Shuichi looked Finlandia up and down, but in the end he couldn't find any clues. "How did you find this place?"

Shuichi Akai pursed his lips and looked at Finlandia who was standing at the door with a serious look.

So that's how it is... Shuichi Akai felt that he had found the truth. When the gentleman recalled Finlandia from the United States, he must have carried out some mental control again. After returning to Japan these few days, he was still wondering if Finlandia had become that gentle shell again. But now it seems... it doesn't seem to be the case.

Recently, Gin will start to mobilize personnel to carry out tasks, making it look like there are major changes in the organization, and then Vermouth will use Miyano Akemi to lure out Akai Shuichi. By then, there will probably be more than one or two snipers responsible for the sniping.

"Hmph..." Finlandia snorted and turned her head away, "Open the door."

However, Finlandia was able to find him here... Was it the power of the organization? No, it shouldn't be. Akai Shuichi's mind was spinning rapidly. When he was exposed a few years ago, Finlandia was able to find out his location so quickly and chase him. I'm afraid it wasn't the power of the organization, otherwise the gentleman wouldn't have called him back.

"..." Finlandia turned around and leaned against the door frame, wiping the sweat from her forehead as if nothing had happened, her tone calm, "I won't tell you." Because he didn't know either, and Vermouth hadn't told him yet.

"Okay, okay, Finlandia." Shuichi Akai raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.

For some reason, Shuichi Akai suddenly felt that "it was him after all".

But no matter what, the organization's mission to kill Shuichi Akai is bound to fail, and it will also lose Miyano Akemi, as well as Shirley who is about to shrink and defect.

Anyway, just tell Akai Shuichi that Miyano Akemi's life is in danger, but I am willing to help him. And I also said that the organization is a big operation this time, if he participates, maybe he can rescue a few members of the organization.

I don't know how Finlandia avoided the "murderous intention against the fugitive undercover."

Finlandia stopped drinking water and looked at the man in front of her who always wore a knitted hat even at home with her dark eyes. After a while, she replied, "It's okay. You didn't think I would come to visit you as soon as I found your place, did you? I've been checking the place out for many days, and there's no one like you around. And I'm not here to talk nonsense with you."

"Akai Shuichi... take care of yourself, Akai Shuichi... Moroboshi Dai."

Although the laboratories didn't communicate much with each other, as a valued code member, she still knew a little bit. Recently, a lot of poisons and some drugs used for interrogation were transferred from the laboratory next door. Now the raw materials are so scarce that they often need to borrow from her.

In that case... Shuichi Akai should have intervened when Vermouth took action.

"…Miyano Akemi."

[But you didn't say you would help him? ]

After getting in the car, Xian rubbed his face and returned to normal.

It turned out to be like this. The gentleman probably never dreamed that one day Finlandia would take advantage of him like this.

"..." Akai Shuichi was silent.

So this time... Finlandia also acted on her own? Akai Shuichi's eyes darkened.

Well, anyway, when he wrote to that gentleman, he had already made it clear that this mission was proposed by Vermouth, so the real commander should be Vermouth. That gentleman must be aware of Vermouth's resentment towards the Miyano family, so even though the mission failed this time, Vermouth was the beneficiary anyway, so he would still give priority to punishing Vermouth.

At the same time, many researchers were also transferred, and even a few of them were transferred from her laboratory. Researchers were generally not transferred, and once they were transferred... it was almost impossible for them to come back.

Shuichi Akai was keenly aware of Finlandia's choice of words, and he understood a little. When he first came in, Finlandia looked no different from an ordinary person. From the moment he provided him with clues about Miyano Akemi, Finlandia's expression began to become unnatural, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

.

"...Please." Akai Shuichi pulled the corner of his mouth, then stepped aside to make way. Finlandia was not shy at all, and walked in directly.

In the almost pure white laboratory, Shirley was somewhat distracted as she sorted the bottles and jars and placed them on the shelf.

Finlandia narrowed her eyes, revealing a murderous aura that was no less than Gin's when he was angry, causing Shuichi Akai to tense up.

So this time, was it because of Mingmei? Thinking of the woman who cried and said to him, "If you don't tell me, I won't know", Shuichi Akai felt a little complicated for a while. He once thought about whether he could take her away when he left the organization, but was rejected without hesitation. At that time, her reason was not only her sister, but also the man in front of her, who she called "Xian brother".

It is indeed a friendship of life and death.

Well, when the time comes, we can just put the blame on Vermouth.

Is it...resisting something? Akai Shuichi guessed in his heart. If his guess in the United States was correct, then what Finlandia is doing now must be outside the program set by that gentleman, it is wrong and should not exist. Last time, Finlandia did this because of Gin, so what about this time?

"The organization wants to kill her? Why?" Akai Shuichi calmed himself down. "If I kill her, will her sister let it go?"

[Host, no! Have you forgotten that you still need to use Vermouth's whitening points? ]

There is no rush for this kind of thing. Anyway, in the organization, it is very common for you to cheat me and I to cheat you. Vermouth will not care. As the black side, Vermouth only needs to get 5 white points. For a half-black and half-red character like her, she only needs to control Conan and Mao Lilan. When Vermouth sees her angel staying with the members of the organization, everything will be easy to discuss.

Akai Shuuichi's aura changed, and his eyes, similar to Gin's, darkened slightly: "What do you mean."

Akai Shuichi: ...There must be something wrong.

Finlandia.

"Wait." Akai Shuichi called him from behind, "Can you at least tell me some details? Like the time?"

No matter how you look at it, this is still a damaged organization... Vermouth, who wanted Miyano to die, did win, but no matter how you look at it, that gentleman is going to be angry, and he won't punish him and Gin when the time comes...

“Well… I must have my own way.” Finlandia answered vaguely.

"...Okay." Akai Shuichi could only walk forward and open the door. He originally thought that he could collect Finlandia's fingerprints while she was holding the door handle. He didn't expect that Finlandia could still take care of these things at this time. He really deserves to be an excellent code member of the organization.

Finlandia pursed her lips, looked at Akai Shuichi with narrowed eyes, then lowered her head and took out her phone to check the time. At this time, Akai Shuichi noticed that, at some point, beads of sweat appeared on Finlandia's forehead.

I don’t know if Finlandia felt that she was standing on the other side of the door. Anyway, the knocking on the door was always slow, as if she was very sure that Akai Shuichi would come to open the door.

Seeing this, Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows: "You are really not shy... Finlandia."

That's okay.

What on earth is the organization doing... Shirley's face looked a little ugly. In fact, there was no need to guess. With such actions, they must be going somewhere to do evil. It was inevitable that several groups of people would die, and then some more experimental subjects would come into the laboratory...

Forget it. There was no point in her thinking about this kind of thing. She couldn't help herself anyway, so how could she have the energy to care about other people? Insisting on postponing the human experiments was already her best effort.

Shirley let out a long sigh, hoping that the organization's actions would not affect her.

Especially meeting my sister a few days later.
