Chapter 2376 2388 [Disappearance]
The male lead was busy preparing for the stage play.
On the other side, Judy was still dialing anxiously, but she couldn't get in touch with Shuichi Akai.
"Where on earth did she go…" Judy paced anxiously in the locker room, the wide white veil fluttering behind her.
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something and her steps froze.
After staring at her phone for a few seconds, Judy slowly exited the email interface. She silently opened the web page and began to skillfully search for any new social news happening nearby.
"Except for the minor car accident arranged by the FBI, there were no other accidents?" Judy was prepared to see surprising news, but what she didn't expect was that the news was even more surprising than expected.
After scrolling back and forth for several seconds and refreshing the page several times, she finally confirmed: it was not that she had missed it, but that there was indeed no important news at the moment.
"It's unexpectedly peaceful today." Judy nodded secretly, "It's a good sign... But what's going on with Shuichi? Why is there no news until now?"
…
When a certain FBI agent was doubtful from the bottom of his heart.
On the other side, the Mika Park North Branch of Toudou Bank.
This bank, which should have been open for business, had a sign saying "under maintenance". Passersby hurried past it, some glanced at it casually, while others didn't notice it at all.
Only some people who came here specifically to handle business stopped to take a closer look, but they quickly turned around and left after seeing the word "maintenance" - there was more than one bank nearby anyway, so if one broke down, they could just switch to another.
At this time, no one was paying attention to the interior of the bank.
The scene here has nothing to do with "repair". There is only a gunman sitting on a stool, waving a gun and directing bank employees to put money into bags.
Outside the counter, several customers were forced to watch this scene.
Vermouth: "..."
…
Twenty minutes ago.
Vermouth casually walked into the Beika Park North Branch of the Toudou Bank, intending to transfer the remaining money from the purchase of props back to the class's common account.
These street corner branches are usually small in size, so they are always a bit crowded during business hours.
Vermouth was not picky about this. She took her number and sat down casually on a bench by the wall. The door opened and closed, and people kept coming in and out. She looked up inadvertently and her eyes paused slightly.
——A man wearing a black jacket, a knitted hat on his head and a thick mask on his mouth walked in.
Vermouth glanced at the black curly hair hanging down from the man's forehead: "..."
Akai Shuichi is still haunting us. But in this guy's eyes, is this mask and hat his entire disguise?
...This guy really underestimates disguise and camouflage!
For a moment, Vermouth really wanted to teach this FBI what true disguise was... Fortunately, reason told her that she should pretend not to recognize him.
So "Teacher Shinchu" just stretched, and soon he lowered his head again and continued to leisurely flip through the magazine in his hand.
Shuichi Akai glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and coughed twice realistically. Then he went to get a number and sat at the other end of the bench.
Vermouth turned a page of the magazine in her hand: "..." She was quite good at choosing the position. She picked a position that was convenient for him to observe this side, but it was not convenient for her to look directly at him... But now that she was exposed, what was the point of studying the position now?
The two enemies sat on either side, keeping a certain distance from each other, and the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.
However, as the people who were handling the business left, the presence of the two people gradually became stronger and stronger. Akai Shuichi's cough became more realistic. If you ignore his tall mixed-race figure, he looks like a poor patient with the flu.
"The flu is pretty severe these days." The lobby manager came over and served the guest attentively. "Try this throat lozenge. I've had a slight cold lately, and this lozenge is very effective for sore throats."
"..." Akai Shuichi glanced at him, "Thank you."
The lobby manager smiled politely and handed him half a strip of lozenges wrapped in tin foil. This was a brand that was not uncommon on the market, and there were about three or four translucent square candies with a medicinal aroma left in it. Perhaps this service industry elite felt that breaking them one by one would be stingy, so he simply gave him the half of the strip he had.
Akai Shuichi reached out to take it, then paused slightly.
——According to common sense, after accepting this kind of help, it seems that you should eat a piece on the spot to show your gratitude.
But on the one hand, the target of this surveillance was not far away from him, and taking off the mask would be tantamount to walking into a trap. On the other hand...
Shuichi Akai recalled the bizarre dangers he had experienced after he began to understand and investigate "Uzo", and couldn't help but question sincerely: Could this piece of candy... be poisoned?
After all, he had even encountered such bizarre accidents as "a person on the second floor suddenly encountered a car accident", so now he was just being poisoned in an ordinary way, which seemed to be the most normal thing.
Shuichi Akai: "..." Wait, if that's the case, then maybe I can use a mask as a cover and pretend that I ate the throat lozenge.
This way, on the one hand, you don't have to take off the mask completely and expose your true face. On the other hand, you can take the opportunity to hide the candy in your hands to avoid poisoning.
A plan quickly formed in his mind, but before this highly motivated FBI agent could put the plan into action, the female salesperson at the front desk suddenly called over here in a low voice: "Mr. Taniguchi!"
"Coming!" The lobby manager quickly turned around and went back to the counter and went to the side of the female salesperson.
The female salesperson pointed to the computer in front of her: "There seems to be something wrong here..."
"Where?" The lobby manager bent down and patiently helped her check.
"..." Akai Shuichi looked at this scene and added silently: Of course, there is another possibility - for example, the lobby manager is just an ordinary good guy, and the candy is not poisonous.
Even so, he still didn't want to give Uzo a meaningless head. Even if there was only a slight possibility, he didn't want to step into such a trap without any skills.
So Akai Hide took off half of his mask, pretended to throw candy into his mouth, and then threw the half bag of candy into his pocket as if nothing had happened.
On the way, he observed Vermouth and the lobby manager out of the corner of his eye, and then found that one of them was reading a magazine with his head down, and the other was concentrating on helping the female salesperson solve a problem. It seemed that no one cared about what he was doing.
In the quiet atmosphere, another male salesperson packed his bags and prepared to go out for business.
He greeted the branch manager and walked towards the employee passage with his bag.
At the moment when he turned the locked door open, a gangster in a rider's suit and a helmet slammed the door, knocked the male salesperson down with one punch, and rushed in.
Akai Shuichi, who was watching quietly, said: "......?"
Vermouth, who just wanted to finish her business as soon as possible and rush to the campus festival, said: "......?"
