Chapter 2384 2396 [FBI, total defeat] Ask for monthly votes ()
The confused FBI agent was about to go to the coffee stand to take a look, but at this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder.
"?!" The FBI agent was startled and looked up suddenly, then suddenly saw a familiar knitted hat.
"Mr. Akai?" He was extremely surprised and lowered his voice, "You're back so soon?"... Fortunately, I didn't secretly curse him behind his back.
Akai Hide nodded. He was originally responsible for following "Dr. Shinde", but after experiencing the bank robbery just now and spending some time in a confined space, he knew very well that a "passerby" like himself would definitely attract Vermouth's attention.
If he were to go the same way with her at this time, his intentions would be too obvious, so Akai Shuichi simply took a gamble: he took a shortcut back to Teitan Middle School one step ahead and pretended to give up following her. This would not only hide himself, but also allow Vermouth to relax his vigilance.
Of course, in order to prevent Vermouth from cooperating with "that person" and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, Shuichi Akai contacted other colleagues and asked them to keep an eye on Vermouth's movements from a distance for him, in case this fake school doctor did not come to the campus festival, but took advantage of the chaos to go somewhere else.
Judging from the information fed back by the new stalker, Vermouth did not run around and was still coming this way.
Akai Shuichi was relieved.
He glanced at the slightly chaotic audience seats and found that this place was very conducive to hiding, so he patted his colleague and whispered, "Change position, I'll watch over here, you go check out those new suspects first."
colleague:"……"
Can we swap jobs, you go check those boring lists full of old men, and I sit here drinking coffee and watching young and beautiful high school girls perform in a play?
He muttered to himself, then stood up with a determined face: "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
The passerby FBI agent left the stage regretfully, and Shuichi Akai took his place.
The play was about to begin, and because of the previous delay, there were still quite a few people walking around in the audience.
Shuichi Akai took off his knitted hat during the chaos, put on a black baseball cap, and then followed the crowd to the stall next door to buy a cup of coffee.
Returning to his seat with the paper cup, he looked down at the cup of coffee, then looked at it again. Finally, he couldn't help but open the lid and carefully looked at the dark liquid inside.
Shuichi Akai: "..." This taste, and this color... why do they look so much like the coffee that James used his own money to fly in from the UK and hid at the bottom of the cupboard, and he was reluctant to drink it?
As I was studying with my head down, suddenly, a bell rang.
Akai Shuichi looked up and saw the lights above him dimming. Then, along with the narration, the stage curtain slowly opened.
"Next is the play "Strange Love" brought to you by Class B of the second year of Teitan Junior High School - please enjoy it!"
The lights came on, revealing the gorgeous props above. But a closer look revealed that some of the props near the corners were a little rough.
Shuichi Akai stroked the coffee cup, thinking of the props in Dr. Shinde's trunk that had not been delivered, and he understood something.
While continuing to observe the situation on the stage, he looked around, ready to capture any possible abnormalities at any time.
…
Backstage.
A certain heroine who had been staying in the dressing room and refused to leave was now anxiously waiting for a reply from her colleague - the colleague had just whispered a few words to her, and then there was no further news. She pricked up her ears and listened hard for a long time before she vaguely caught some sounds and vaguely knew that Shuichi Akai had returned.
"What on earth happened? Why have we been out of contact for so long?" Judy was so curious that she wanted to rush off the stage and grab her Riddler colleagues to find out what happened.
However, before that, someone rushed over and grabbed her: "Teacher Judy? Why are you still here? It's your turn to go on stage!"
Judy looked at Suzuki Sonoko who suddenly appeared, and her eyes twitched slightly: "..." I'm not in the mood to act now, I just want to beat someone up.
But she had already agreed to it. Given how persistent these high school students were in rehearsing the drama, if she quit now, then she, as "Teacher Judy," would probably completely lose her favor and credibility.
For the sake of long-term development in the future, a certain FBI agent had to bear the humiliation and smile: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Suzuki Sonoko looked around and whispered stealthily, "The veil can cover your hair color. You don't have many lines in the first few minutes of the play, so just move quietly. Xiaolan said she has settled the old man and is on her way back from the hospital. As long as you survive this period, the crisis will be resolved!"
Judy was stunned: "..." So soon? How did she arrange for James to come? They had agreed to delay for a while... Never mind, this is not the point now. The point is that since Shuichi is back, Vermouth should be here soon.
"Don't forget the main goal of today." Judy patted her face lightly and reminded herself in her heart:
"Although the time is a little short, it's enough - I wonder what kind of expression 'Dr. Shinde' will show when he makes his debut as the male protagonist and sees me in front of him... Hmph, this is a good opportunity to find out her latest target. This woman has won many international awards, but now she is inexplicably so interested in a campus drama. She must have a big plan."
While thinking, Judy followed Suzuki Sonoko. The two of them walked quickly through the backstage. Judy bent down and got into the props on the stage.
…
Mao Lilan hurried back and took the time to look at her watch: "Oh no, it's already this late... I hope I can still make it."
As she lowered her head and raised it again, she happened to cross a fork in the road. Unfortunately, someone happened to come out from the other side of the fork, and Mao Lilan was unable to react in time and bumped into that person.
"Sorry, sorry!" Mao Lilan was startled. She stood up hastily and rushed to help the person who staggered backwards after being knocked by her.
After seeing the other person's face clearly, she was stunned: "Shinde-sensei?!"
"Doctor Xinchu" quietly touched his chest that was hurt by the collision and smiled: "It's me, why are you running so fast?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Doctor Shinchu" looked at his watch and said, "According to the time, the play should have already started. Why...wait, is it because we are not here that the show has been delayed?"
Mao Lilan shook her head blankly: "I don't know either. Sonoko just asked me to go back as soon as possible. She said it's not a big problem and she will give me a surprise."
