"So Mizunashi Renna is a CIA spy?!"

In the ward, even the FBI agents who had been carefully observing hospital rules before now looked at Akai Shuichi with some resentment. The volume of their shocked voices could not be controlled and successfully attracted the dissatisfied glances of the staff in the distance.

"But even so, can you tell us first if there's any problem?" Teacher Judy stood in front of Akai Shuichi with her hands on her waist. Her clear and gentle blue eyes were shadowed by her wrinkled brows. Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with not being trusted this time. Even her glasses could not hide her eyes that wanted to beat someone up.

"You know how devastated we were when she was taken away? We lost our fighting spirit because of it." Finally, James calmly expressed everyone's thoughts. Who knew that we had spent so much time and effort to guard Shui Wu Liannai for the past few days, but in the end, we had to give up and turn back. Everyone was more or less mentally unstable.

“That’s exactly what I wanted.”

When Shuichi Akai put his hands in his pockets and said this, I don't know how many FBI colleagues silently clenched their fists, but obviously, the awe of Shuichi Akai did not make anyone take action, and they could only continue to listen to the other party calmly:

"Because our FBI radio has probably been tapped by those guys." Akai Shuichi said as he looked down at the communicator and continued, "If we weren't shocked by her being kidnapped, those guys wouldn't believe it. What I want is not acting skills, but real performance."

"Even so, it's useless if you let her return to the organization as a CIA agent." Judy waited for a reasonable explanation.

"Of course, it wasn't just about letting him go back. I asked her to give us intelligence when she reported it to CIA headquarters, and she agreed."

"Did she agree to that request?"

"Of course, she made a relative condition to me, that her brother join the witness protection program..."

Conan stood aside, somewhat absent-minded. He recalled Mizuno Renna's attitude, but he always felt that it was a little strange. Her brother should be very important to her, but why did she not seem so eager when proposing the witness protection plan? Of course, this was more likely because as an undercover, she was used to hiding her emotions and could not use general situations to speculate, but why did he always have a bad premonition? Could it be that there was something missing in his plan with Mr. Akai...

"Of course you can apply for the witness protection program..."

The conversation continued to come from the headset. Noel sighed that the FBI's radio was indeed easy to monitor. He looked up at the woman sitting in front of him driving the car and suddenly ordered:

"You don't have to do those tasks anymore. Just stay with me for the next few days."

"Yes, Lord Grappa!" Aegawachi's face was full of excitement that she couldn't hide, but she thought that the other party wouldn't like this, so she tried her best not to laugh out loud. Even though Grappa hadn't done anything to her during this period of time, her undisguised preference for him had already made her lost. Now it sounded like she didn't even have to do the tasks that the lower-level personnel had to do. It was simply great. The privilege was the best reward for Aegawachi.

"Is there anything you want to do recently?" Noel looked at the woman in front of him, and his tone was rarely gentle. This would have been considered fierce on Natsukawa Sora, but it was so gentle that it was OOC on Grappa's character, which made Aikawa stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation: "Master Grappa, can you let me play in the interrogation room for two days!"

"No." Noel's voice suddenly turned cold, which made Aingawachi shudder. Then he regretted his stupidity. That was Lord Grappa's favorite place, how could he lend it to himself? He was so impulsive that he said it directly. If he wanted to play, he should go out and find prey by himself. No, he had to follow Lord Grappa for the next two days. He had to bear it a little longer and go to listen to that wonderful scream in a few days.

"Change it..." Noel said as he touched the ornament on his ear.

If I ask Grappa-sama to sleep with me today...Aikawauchi thought with her small brain capacity, and then tried her best to suppress the impulse. Although she was a little uneasy about the rumor that she was Grappa-sama's woman, she had never had a real relationship with him, but the probability of being rejected was too high at the moment, so Aikawauchi said cautiously.

"Then Master Grappa, can I skip the paperwork for now?"

"Okay," Noel nodded this time, "Just follow me today."

Very good!

Aengawachi did not notice that the other party was talking about today instead of the recent time that she had brought up. She could not help laughing out loud because she did not have to read the text, and she could not help humming a song. Her newly short black hair and delicate makeup concealed her true self, but despite her crazy temperament, she was actually a young and beautiful woman.

This reminded Noel of the letter again, the woman who told him about her friend being bullied to death. Although she was not the one who was bullied, the death of her friend has made her live in self-blame and unable to sleep. Most of the time, she needs to rely on sleeping pills to get a good rest, but the dark circles under her eyes can't be covered up.

Innocent victims died in despair, kind and righteous people bore the shadow, and the wanton murderers...

Still alive.

"Master Grappa, can we go shopping?" Aegawachi couldn't help but ask. She felt that Master Grappa didn't have any tasks today. Thinking of her other goal, she decided to take the initiative to give some hints, although it was a bit difficult...

"Can."

To Anegaway's surprise, Grappa seemed to be particularly indulgent to her today. This discovery made Anegaway ecstatic. After getting off the car, she took the initiative to approach the man, hesitating whether to have further physical contact. However, even more unexpectedly, the man took the initiative to touch Anegaway's hair and whispered, "You can get closer to me. After all, we are the same kind."

Aengawachi was dazed as he watched Grapa, who had always been so aloof, pull her into the mall and choose clothes and shoes for her one by one. He was not wearing a bandage today. Although his thoughts could not be read under his gray pupils, his face, which seemed to be disguised, looked normal and had a gentle look between lovers, which made Aengawachi feel a rare sense of magic.

It is different from the psychological pleasure that arises when the prey lets out a scream, but it is a softer and more harmless happiness with a little warmth and sourness.

The sky gradually darkened, and Aikawa finally remembered their goal. They had already returned to the car. Aikawa took the initiative to approach the other party and asked in a low voice, "Master Grappa, where are we going next?"

"There is a mission. You just need to sit in the car," the man said in a somewhat disappointed tone, but his hand gently stroked the woman's neck. A burst of itchiness made Anegawachi squint her eyes and try to keep her, saying, "Master Grappa, I..."

"Aikawa, how about you help me see what hell looks like first?" A softer voice came from her ear. The unexpected question stunned the woman, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

———

"Bang——"

The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night, and Mizunashi Ryunasaki shot Akai Shuichi without hesitation at Gin's command.

This is their plan.

Gin, who is overly suspicious, will definitely doubt Mizuno Renna, who was easily rescued from the FBI. Considering the other party's jealousy of Akai Shuichi, he will definitely use this trick to make Mizuno Renna prove her innocence.

To use the opponent's trick against him was a plan jointly made by the detective and the agent.

"Shoot him in the head again."

Gin in the headset gave orders again, obviously not wanting to give Akai Shuichi any chance of survival.

Just as planned.

Mizuno Renna raised her gun and aimed it at Akai Shuichi's head.

Gin will order himself to get rid of Akai Shuichi, which is part of the plan.

The last shot must be aimed at the head, that was in the plan.

And then...all of this was part of his plan. In this case, he could only trust this deal with the devil.

Mizuno Renna pulled the trigger and looked at the man falling backwards. She knew that she had gained Gin's trust, but the scene did not end so quickly.

"That's great, Gil."

The man walked out slowly from the shadows, clapping his hands and exclaiming in admiration. He stood in everyone's blind spot, his aura restrained to the point of being completely restrained. Mizuno Renna turned her head to look at him, and the camera on her body also transmitted the picture to Gin who had been observing through the screen above.

The man's face was rarely covered with a bandage, and his black coat fluttered in the wind. He looked very relaxed, as if he was really watching a play. He admired the actors frankly, but his eyes looked through the camera at the director behind the scenes, or perhaps the screenwriter. In short, he exuded a rather pleasant aura.

"Grappa, what's the matter?" Gin's voice came from Mizunashi Renna's earphones. Even though the reception was good enough, Grappa could hear it, and Gin also knew that Grappa could hear it.

"About this..."

Noel took a few steps forward, like a spectator leaping onto the stage. He stepped over the frozen actors, deftly took off the headset and put it on his head. Then he smiled at the camera and said, "I just want to see the rare moment when the ace killer makes a mistake..."

This incomprehensible remark gave Gin a bad feeling. Then there was a series of clicking sounds from the camera. Then, Grappa's face came up, still smiling, and he said to the camera that had obviously been removed:

"For example, such a big rat actually managed to hide it."

"Grappa!"

"You're disturbing me, Gin," Noel complained, while pointing the camera at the woman with an unnaturally twisted neck and a flat chest, "So you really didn't realize she was a mouse, you know,"

"The boss is always watching your performance."

"You've let him down so much, Gin."

As Grappa finished his gloating words, Gin received a text message from his boss.

/Grappa will take care of the rest, Gin./
