"Takahashi, the murderer is you!!!"

Hiding behind the unconscious Sonoko, Conan revealed the name of the murderer, but to his surprise, Takahashi did not refute anything.

Conan had no choice but to continue explaining the method of crime.

"Takahashi, is it really you?" The people around them asked Takahashi and the other man in disbelief. "Sonoko's" reasoning had been very clear, leaving no room for rebuttal.

"Indeed, I want to avenge Atsuko and don't want her to die with hatred in her heart."

However, Takahashi Ryoichi's attitude was beyond Conan's expectations; he was too calm.

"you......"

"Do you want to know why I didn't fight back or anything?" Takahashi's voice was calm, as if he already knew his own outcome.

"Because long before I killed this woman, someone had guessed it. He guessed that I would kill this woman for Atsuko, and he also guessed the revenge method I had been thinking about for so long."

“So no matter what, I can’t escape.”

"Wait, who is that person?" Conan felt something was wrong. He had a sense of déjà vu and asked quickly.

"I'm actually quite grateful to him. He saved me from this misfortune. In order not to expose my identity, I even wanted to attack Miss Xiaolan..." Takahashi said to himself. He looked at Xiaolan. There was a trace of guilt in his eyes.

"But in fact, it has been exposed a long time ago. I am afraid that my revenge has become selfish at some point..."

"Who is that person?" Conan asked again, his premonition growing stronger.

"He wrote me a letter and told me what to do, but I didn't listen. I still wanted to kill this woman myself..."

"The last signature is Ikaros."

The criminal said the last name, which was the same name in the letter sent to the victim in the previous case of Yamoto.

Is Ikaros saving people? Conan couldn't help but think, but he didn't understand the answer until a long time later.

A few days later, on a busy street, an unknown redemption was happening. A woman received another letter. After reading the contents of the letter, she suddenly burst into tears and held her head. Without even having time to wipe her tears, she rushed to her lover who had just parted with her and hugged him tightly.

"Tatsuya! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!!!"

"sorry!"

The man with spiky blond hair no longer had the rebellious look he had just had. He frantically looked at his lover who was crying in his arms. In the end, he could only pat her back gently, trying his best to find gentle words to comfort her.

The woman had already cried herself to tears, but she was amused by her lover's clumsy look. She held the envelope tightly in her hand, feeling relieved. She almost killed her lover with her own hands because of a misunderstanding.

The letter was signed Ikaros, and the woman took it to heart.

In the distance, Noel, dressed in black, was wrapped in bandages and his face was tightly covered by a mask, with no expression on his face.

He looked at the embracing couple for a moment, then turned and walked into the corner.

"Master Grappa, may I ask..."

"Send the target mission photo to my phone, then go to the car and wait."

Noel disconnected the call after saying this and looked at the mission objective at hand.

He seems to be a low-level member of an organization, but suddenly he realizes his mistake and wants to defect. He seems to have fallen in love with a female teacher.

If he hadn't accidentally obtained the secret and wanted to use it to threaten the organization, there would be no need for a killer of Grapa's level to do it personally.

Noel looked at the photo in his hand and found that the man was not very old. The organization's information showed that he was once a rich second-generation man. After he hit and killed someone with his car, his family happened to be in poverty. He didn't want to waste his life in prison, so he came to join the organization.

As expected, the miracle of redeeming life should be left to people in the sunshine. The rats in the sewers should die obediently in an empty corner, which is called having a beginning and an end.

Noel touched the pistol at his waist and headed to the mission location.

———

"How's he doing?"

"Why, are you concerned about your former partner?" The blonde woman chuckled and said in an ambiguous tone, "Or is it that you two haven't broken up yet?"

"I'm curious about what strange rumors the organization has come up with."

On the other side of the phone, Amuro Toru rolled his eyes and gave up trying to clarify that he and Grappa were just ordinary former partners.

"He told me, his teacher, in person that he had been to a love hotel with you," Bermode joked.

"That's true." Amuro Toru thought of Hiroki Sawada, who was rescued from Grappa before, and who was accepted in a love hotel. Moreover, whenever Grappa got something or someone, he would choose to exchange them with him in the hotel. It didn't seem strange that there were such rumors.

"You are so brave to be with the monster."

Hearing a hint of admiration in the other person's tone, Toru Amuro could no longer complain.

How could I sleep with a minor, and I'm straight... But if I think about it carefully, there is really no need to deny it. Unlike living in the sun, in a place like an organization, as an undercover agent, the more outrageous the rumors are, the more likely it is to clear suspicion. What's more, if I go back and continue trading with Grappa, the hotel is still a good excuse.

"He still has a good personality..." Amuro Toru decided to add some substance to this rumor, but immediately heard the other party say:

"Are you sure?" Bermode recalled the time when Bourbon and his student met, and was sure that Grappa was not pretentious at that time, so he was even more shocked and couldn't help asking, "Does Shirley know?"

Amuro Toru did know Shirley. After all, she was also the target of Noel's scandal, and what's more... she was the daughter of Miyano Elena.

"My student killed Shirley's sister."

"What?" Toru Amuro's tone couldn't hide his shock, and he secretly clenched his fists. If Vermouth was right in front of him, he would definitely notice that his shock was not normal.

"As someone who hates the Miyano couple, I agree with this, but my student has told me personally that he likes Sulli very much."

"If it's fake, it means his acting skills are better than his master. If it's true, even I feel a little scared." There was undisguised fear in Bermode's tone.

"What does it have to do with me?" Toru Amuro had already controlled his emotions and sneered.

"I thought you wanted to use emotions to control him, so I reminded my collaborator." Bermode said with a smile, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false in his tone.

"That gentleman does not try to conceal his affection for him at all." She sighed and said with mixed feelings:

“This is simply the best target.”

———

"Noel?"

"Toru, what's wrong?" Noel had already completed the mission objective and was preparing equipment for the next mission in the base. Toru Amuro's call came at a somewhat inopportune time.

"How are you and Shirley doing now?" A hint of complexity flashed in Amuro Toru's gray-purple eyes. He always thought that he understood this young man a little, but his cognition would soon be broken, and after being reshaped, he would wait for the next shattering.

"Why are you asking this suddenly? Are you jealous?" Noel's first thought was about the various strange messages from the organization. He has many small accounts and enjoys reading those gossips to enrich his comic material.

"Shirley's fine," Noel said finally, and that was the truth.

"I've heard about your recent flamboyant behavior in the United States." Amuro Toru was silent for a while and didn't ask any more questions.

"I didn't want to, but apparently I've been assigned a lot of tasks since my recent break, and I don't even have time to play house." Noel thought about whether the other party might change the time of return, so he decided to give a reminder just in case.

"Playing house?" This word obviously attracted Toru Amuro's attention.

"I'll let you see it when the time comes. It will definitely be a surprise." Noel hung up the phone after saying that. He felt sorry that he had too many tasks to do and could not have much free time to play with Toru Amuro.

Playing House, this is the new script Noel wrote for himself.

As for Natsukawa Sora's identity and the red side, Noel only planned to let Amuro Toru know. After all, it would be difficult to hide it from the other party because he had seen his face. However, he was Xiaoguang's childhood friend, and in the end he would not doubt Xiaoguang just because Xiaoguang had a connection with him.

The script was prepared for the audience member Toru Amuro before Hikaru's identity was revealed.

One day, the criminals of the organization found a child who looked like a traitor, so they killed the child's parents and adopted him. Later they found out that they were not related, but they thought playing house was fun so they kept the child!

As for why, the brain circuits of a neurotic person don’t need a why!

It is worthy of being the work of my "healing" master Liang!

I believe Toru will like it~

"Master Grappa, the next mission..."

"Bang——"

The bullet hit the speaker's shoulder, and he fell to the ground with a muffled sound, blood flowing on the ground. However, he tried his best to control himself and not to shout. He knew that if he made a sound, the next shot might be his head.

The organization was silent until Noel asked:

"Can't you see I'm talking?"

Speaking in your heart is also speaking, Noel added silently, looking at the other lower-level members around him who were lowering their heads, and sadly discovered that everyone lowered their heads immediately.

"It's you. Congratulations on becoming my little brother." Pointing at a member of the lower level near the door, Noel looked down at the person on the ground and said with disdain:

"Take out the useless garbage, now."

In the eyes of the crowd, a monster with a face covered in bandages and covered in black clothes appeared like a demon from hell, emitting a chilling cold air. Its tone was frivolous and upward, but it did not contain any emotion at all, and it seemed more like a strange existence borrowing a human body.

Noel put away his gun and suddenly remembered that he had not reported to Xiaoguang yet, so he quickly took out his cell phone and started typing.

/Xiao Guang, I can't go back for the next few days. I have a mission. Can you make me some hot pot pork after you finish it?/

/Can./

Woo woo woo, Xiaoguang really has his mother’s aura.

/I'll ​​be back soon./

/Hongshu also hopes so. He was upset because you coaxed him to play with new friends all day yesterday, but today he found that you were not at home. He will be sad if you are not at home for the next few days. /

What does it have to do with me... Noel thought coldly. He still remembered the grudge that the other party had done something with Xiaoguang behind his back.

Working overtime means not being able to go home to fight for favors or something... Can the organization go bankrupt soon? !
