Chapter 975: Countdown to Heaven
"Very good." Gin grinned and revealed a sinister smile, "Take people to monitor the periphery, don't act rashly. I'll be there now."
…
The other side.
Yusaku Kudo is about to hold a book signing event and won't be able to stay in Japan for long.
Dr. Agasa sent him to the airport.
Afterwards, Dr. Agasa drove the Beetle back home.
He clicked on the light switch and was suddenly startled to see a figure on the sofa.
"Ai?" After a moment, Dr. Agasa recognized the person on the sofa, patted his chest and sighed, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Haibara Ai came to her senses, stood up, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and planned to float back to the house like a ghost.
Dr. Agasa: “…”
Ever since she came back from the launch of the holographic game "Cocoon" a few days ago, Ai has been looking listless... This can't go on. How can such a sweet little girl be so gloomy all day long?
Dr. Agasa touched the back of his head in confusion, then suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up.
——Although Huiyuan Ai looked very calm, Dr. Agasa remembered that this little girl was actually quite fashionable and liked all kinds of shiny new things. Just now...
…
Dr. Agasa took a few quick steps and stood in front of Haibara Ai.
Then, under the other party's puzzled gaze, he reached into the large pocket of his coat and quickly took out a gold-edged invitation: "clang clang clang--"
Huihara Ai tilted her head in confusion: "...Hmm?"
"Invitation to the opening ceremony of the Nishitama City Twin Towers! It will open next week - these are the tallest twin towers in Japan, facing Mount Fuji, and it is said that you can experience a wonderful view that is like looking down on the world!"
Dr. Agasa waved the invitation in his hand and said happily, "This was given to Yusaku by his fans at the game launch a few days ago. But Yusaku had to go back to the United States for something, so he forwarded this invitation to me. I can bring several people to visit."
"Is that so?" Huihara Ai was still a little depressed, but she could tell that Dr. Agasa wanted to cheer her up, so she forced herself to smile and said, "Then let's go and see it with the kids next week."
After saying that, she turned around without interest and walked towards the basement, intending to curl up in her familiar place.
When going down the stairs, Huibara Ai was suddenly startled and vaguely thought of something.
"..."Twin Towers...
My sister really likes places that are high and have a wide view. She said that when she stands there, the world seems to become wider.
When she thought of her "sister", Huibara Ai couldn't help but lower her head and glance at her mobile phone.
On the day she returned home from the launch of "Cocoon", Haibara Ai sent an email to "Anonymous" asking about matters related to "Colonel Moran".
Afterwards, she couldn't help but call her sister.
The next day, she didn't know whether the phone call had any effect or it was just a coincidence, but she received a reply from the anonymous person very soon. The reply was as mysterious as before, only telling her that it was not time to reveal the answer yet.
Huiyuan Ai: "..." If Anonymous is really related to my sister, they can hear the phone calls I made, and maybe my sister is listening on the other end of the line...
Huihara Ai closed the door of the basement. Like a drug addict who failed to withdraw from drugs, she slowly lowered her eyes, with a longing gaze, firmly fixed on her mobile phone.
…
At the same time, on the other side.
Gin and Vodka received news about "Miyano Akemi" and quickly drove to an apartment.
A man in black saw their car and came up from behind a roadside billboard. He whispered, "I showed the administrator a photo of Miyano Akemi and confirmed that she is the tenant here. I've also got the key."
Gin looked down at the key he handed over, then reached out to take it: "Let's go up and take a look."
The three of them quickly arrived at the door of Miyano Akemi's apartment and pushed it open.
…
The house is not big, but it is very tidy.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the blackout curtains were tightly closed, and an atmosphere of silence permeated the room.
Gin closed the door and looked around: "They hid in a place like this without telling the organization."
The official in charge nodded and said, "The lease of the house is for one and a half years, and it will expire in nearly a year. The phone has always been on answering machine mode. According to the neighbors, sometimes you can hear the phone ringing, and it will soon be transferred to the voicemail. But the strange thing is..."
"When you checked the answering machine, you didn't find any messages on it, right?"
Gin casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it. Seeing the man in black next to him nodded, he showed an expression of "as expected" and sneered: "Weak woman."
"Go out and watch your surroundings." Gin threw the book aside and turned to Vodka, "Bring your computer with you."
"Here." Vodka opened the bag quickly and took out the computer he carried with him.
Gin touched the pocket of his windbreaker, took out a sealed CD, and threw it to Vodka: "The organization has newly developed a reverse tracking program. It can lock the location and reverse the tracking in 20 seconds."
Vodka's eyes lit up: He is worthy of being the big brother, always able to get the latest technology of the organization.
He quickly took over the procedure.
…
Just as I finished the setup, the phone rang.
Vodka shuddered: "Brother!"
Gin was also a little surprised: He was really lucky. He thought he would have to wait for a few days before he could monitor the phone call, but he didn't expect...
Gin stopped looking around, turned around and sat on the sofa next to the phone, motioning Vodka to keep quiet.
The answering machine mode was turned on, and soon the voice of Akemi Miyano came out: "Hello, this is Miyano, I'm not home now. Please leave your name and message after the prompt sounded."
Under the silent gaze of the two men in black, another voice sounded on the phone:
"Sister, it's me."
Although Haibara Ai became a child, women don't have a very obvious voice change period. Before Miyano Shiho became a child, she was only 18 years old, so her voice didn't change much.
The old phone had a distorted electronic sound. In addition, the voice became softer when facing "Miyano Akemi", so the difference between "Sulli"'s voice before and after was not obvious.
Gin looked at the slowly moving tracking progress bar on the computer screen, listened to the familiar voice, and slowly grinned a cruel smile.
—Got you, Shirley.
…
Shirley didn't know the situation on the phone.
She quickly continued nervously, "I'm going to attend the opening ceremony of the twin towers in Seymour City, and I...I really want to see you there. No matter what you look like now."
Halfway through the conversation, for some reason, she suddenly sped up her speech. After she finished the last word, she hung up the phone.
On the computer screen next to it.
The slowly moving progress bar got stuck at the 18th second following the ruthless hang-up sound.
After a moment, a cold word popped up from above - [Undetectable].
