Chapter 169: Dark Shadows Who is in Japan?
Grace Iheano.
8-year-old child star.
She has short brown hair and often wears cute light makeup when appearing on posters.
Chris had never worked with her. In fact, Grace wasn't very famous, and if her agent hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't even have remembered her as such a person.
"Nah...never mind." She waved her hand. "It just looks familiar."
The female star, losing interest, turned her attention back to the merchandise.
She had lived too long and met too many people, so it was not surprising that she occasionally felt a sense of familiarity with people passing by.
When the agent heard this, he nodded and did not move forward, but paid more attention to the little girl with brown hair.
.
Ai Haibara did not tell anyone about her suspected encounter with members of the organization that day.
At this moment, she was sitting on the returning plane, staring at the darkening night outside the window in a daze.
Coconut lay in the cage at her feet, looking a little depressed from being locked up.
Haibara Ai squatted down and touched the edge of the cage with her fingers. Coconut meowed and rubbed her hand with its paws.
Haibara Ai never thought that the guy named Morey Gaunt would give this cat that looked like the white cat in her memory to Sister Lin.
Could this be a strategy to establish more connections? Huiyuan Ai thought cautiously. After all, if Coconut was with them, Sister Lin would always take pictures of the cat and send them to Morey Gaunt. There would definitely be a lot of contact back and forth.
This guy's interest in Sister Lin is overflowing. Even if she sees that guy in Japan one day, Haibara Ai won't be surprised.
Just as she was daydreaming, her head was suddenly touched and a blanket was covered on her body.
Lin Xi looked at her with a smile: "Xiao Ai, why don't you go to bed early? Don't forget, your final exam is coming up soon."
"We have two weeks to prepare. You must work hard with Conan."
Ahhh.
Ai Haibara took the blanket, climbed onto the bed in the cabin, and closed her eyes expressionlessly.
After all, what is there to test in the first grade final exam?
By the age of seven, she had already begun working with DNA molecules in the laboratory.
However, after the exams in mid-June, there will be a two and a half month vacation.
She can then immerse herself in the laboratory and conduct her own research.
However, I need to find an excuse, such as completing a group project with Edogawa, to go to Professor Agasa...
As the lights in the cabin dimmed, Haibara Ai fell into sleep.
…
A few days later, in the United States, at an FBI base.
"You want to go back to Japan? Now?"
Judy Stella raised an eyebrow.
Akai Shuichi said calmly: "I have already applied to my superiors."
"Has it been approved by the higher-ups?"
"The application was approved."
Judy: "...Japan is the headquarters of that organization. Your face was on their wanted list when your undercover identity was exposed. Those crows dream of finding you and tearing you apart."
"Have you forgotten why you returned to the United States from Japan two years ago?"
There were crises everywhere and ambushes on all sides, and they almost died. The FBI had to abandon all operations against the organization in Japan and withdraw completely.
Although the operation failed and his identity was exposed, Shuichi did not seem to be too shocked. After returning to the United States, he still actively participated in the activities of the organization.
He just stopped talking about going back to Japan.
Why do you suddenly want to go back now?
Who is there in Japan?
Shuichi Akai didn't answer Judy immediately, but looked past her and out the window.
It was noon and the weather was very good. Two white pigeons flapped their wings and landed on the window frame of the base.
"…I have a promise that I must fulfill."
Judy followed his gaze and after a moment of silence, she sighed, "I'll apply to go with you. And Jin, he's also—"
"Kim Bonnar? It would be best if he stayed in Los Angeles."
Shuichi Akai rejected Judy's proposal.
"He's too unstable and independent," the man said. "Besides, I don't recommend anyone not affiliated with the organization get involved."
Judy Stelling glanced at the man and realized that he had his own considerations.
"I understand, Shuichi...but I must go with you," she said.
There is absolutely no way I would let Shuichi face those things alone a second time.
If he wants to go back, I must go with him.
Akai Shuichi smiled and said, "Of course, partner."
They raised their hands and clapped their hands in the air in unison.
Just like what they did after they completed their first mission together as FBI partners.
.
At the same time, Tokyo, Japan.
Rena Mizunashi walked out of the headquarters of Nichimai TV with a business smile.
Colleagues passing by greeted her enthusiastically, and she responded with a smile.
Today, she is still a beautiful and popular host in the eyes of audiences and colleagues.
However, colleagues do not know that the beautiful host Rena Mizunashi has another unknown identity.
She walked a few blocks and saw the familiar Porsche 356A on a street corner.
She walked over to the car, opened the door and got into the back seat.
"Good afternoon, Kiel."
Vodka, wearing black sunglasses, greeted her.
Mizuno Rena responded somewhat absentmindedly.
She carefully glanced at the man sitting in the front passenger seat through the front mirror.
Silver hair hung down from under the black top hat, casting a shadow on the man's face, making it impossible for Rena Mizunoshi to see his expression.
With the arrival of summer, the weather gradually became hotter, and the black coat that Rena Mizunashi was familiar with turned into a thin black windbreaker.
But even though the windbreaker has become thinner, it still has everything it needs.
Rena Mizunashi believed that if the man pulled out the gun and dagger under his windbreaker, he would be able to kill the man with one blow without any hesitation.
The man's hand was on the car window, his emerald green eyes looking outward coldly. As usual, he did not have any extra reaction to Rena Mizunoshi's arrival.
However, unlike usual, the man was not smoking today, which was unusual.
Upon closer inspection, there didn't seem to be any vodka either.
Mizuno Rena felt a little strange.
You know, these two are used to smoking and never put the cigarette out of their mouths.
Now I don't smoke, which is rare.
Moreover, she came here today because Gin sent her an email asking her to come and see him.
In the past, before they met, Gin would send her a summary of the mission, so that she would know what the mission was and prepare in advance; but this time, not only was there no summary, there was not even any mention of what the mission was. Could it be some very important confidential mission?
Rena Mizunashi's sharp undercover radar started ticking.
She pretended to be casual and asked, "Why did you call me here suddenly? What's the matter?"
"The TV station has an event this afternoon that requires me to appear on camera. Gin, you'd better tell me the assignment in advance so I can coordinate my time."
Gin ignored her and just picked up the cigarette lighter in the car irritably, then put it down quickly.
Vodka laughed innocently: "It's nothing, actually. I didn't ask you to come here today for a mission."
"It's just that there's a guy I haven't seen for a long time. He came back today and wanted to see you."
Long time no see? You came back today and wanted to see me?
Rena Mizunashi looked at the cheerful expression behind Vodka's sunglasses, and an incredible guess emerged in her mind.
The only thing that can make Gin waste time on things other than missions is...
"Hi." There was a knock on the car window. "Could you please move?"
Mizuno Rena quickly moved to the other side.
A red-haired girl wearing a cute Japanese-style skirt, a carrot hairpin in her hair, and orange-toned makeup squeezed into the back seat.
A few years have passed, and this member of the organization who had been missing for a long time and reappeared still looks the same, still as young as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school student. Time has not left any trace on her.
"Punch." Vodka grinned. "Long time no see!"
Lin Xi was also very happy: "Long time no see, Vodka!"
Gin snorted coldly.
Lin Xi turned to Gin and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Gin~"
"You're late." Gin said mercilessly, "Ten minutes later than the agreed time."
"Sorry, I was wearing makeup." Lin Xi lifted her hair. "To express my apology, can I treat you to lunch at noon?"
Gin didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just started the Porsche.
Rena Mizunashi sat there quietly, trying to make her presence less noticeable.
Punch's incredible disguise skills and the fire that ruined all CIA plans a few years ago had left a significant psychological scar on her. Now, the more cute, well-behaved, and polite Punch acted, the more wary Mizunashi Rena became.
But contrary to her wishes, the girl turned her emerald eyes to her, looked her up and down for a moment without any courtesy, and said thoughtfully: "You seem to have had a good time these past few years. I saw the TV show you hosted on the road, Gil."
Are you doing well? Haha…
Mizuno Rena smiled bitterly in her heart.
It can’t be said that it has anything to do with living a good life, it can only be said that it has nothing to do with it at all.
For some reason, she always felt that Gin was unhappy with her. He usually treated her like a tool and used her to death. She had to work overtime with him in the organization and stayed up late without any compensation.
She's completely different from those shady assassins trained by organizations like Chianti! She actually has a job! During the day, she's a perfect-smiling host at a TV station, and at night, she's on field trips with Gin. She doesn't even have a proper weekend break...
Rena Mizunashi once asked other members of the organization if they were the same as her, and received a negative answer.
They all looked at her sympathetically, patted her shoulders and sighed, saying things like "That's what it's like working under Gin," with helpless expressions on their faces.
They were both under Gin's command, so why weren't Chianti and Cohen as tired as she was?!
Rena Mizunashi even reflected on herself and wondered if she had made an enemy of Gin somewhere.
Later, they came to the conclusion that for a good employee like her who was dedicated, hardworking and willing to work hard, there was no reason for Gin to exploit her like this unless her undercover identity was exposed.
But that didn't make sense! Mizunashi Rena had seen the man in the front seat execute traitors and undercover agents with such brute force that she didn't think she would receive any preferential treatment.
If Gin knew her undercover identity, he would definitely execute her immediately.
She said bitterly, "I'm fine. Long time no see, Punch, where have you been all this time?"
