Chapter 726: Akai Shuichi's Various Uses
Jiang Xia briefly browsed through a few tasks, then sent them to four people respectively - one was also sent to "Jiang Xia's" mobile phone.
In addition, the mission assigned to "Okiya Subaru" is not far from the mission location of "Jiang Xia".
One of them quickly sent a reply saying "got it".
After waiting for a while, Jiang Xia also sent himself a "received" message using his mobile phone - he had always used his two mobile phones separately, one for detectives and one for the organization's exclusive use.
…
Even after breakfast, the remaining two people were still silent. Perhaps they were not looking at their phones.
Jiang Xia didn't wait any longer because he had other things to do.
He got dressed and went out, planning to go to the office to look through some letters. However, just as he opened the door, he suddenly saw a small figure flashing in his peripheral vision.
Jiang Xia was startled and turned to look at Dr. Agasa's house next door.
Through the sparse iron fence, he saw Huiyuan Ai wearing a somewhat childish child's clothing and a princess hat that covered her hair tightly. She even held an exquisite rag doll in her hand. She was kneeling in the open space in the yard, playing house with herself, while looking up at him nervously with a questioning look in her eyes.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
When he first looked over, he almost thought that Yoshida Ayumi had run to Dr. Agasa's house and was cosplaying as Haibara Ai in the yard... After all, although Haibara Ai looks like an elementary school student, she is a mature and stable underage girl at heart. She doesn't usually have a hobby of "playing house", and even the corresponding toys were specially bought to play with Yoshida Ayumi.
For a moment, Jiang Xia began to doubt Huiyuan Ai's living conditions: Could it be that under her mature and steady appearance, she actually has the heart of an elementary school student? If a ghost were to sneak a peek into Huiyuan Ai's room, would he see a room full of pink toys...
However, when his eyes met the dark circles under Haibara Ai's eyes, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered what happened last night.
He vaguely understood.
Maybe Huiyuan Ai is just waiting for a suitable opportunity to strike up a conversation...
He tentatively waved at Huibara: "It's okay."
“……” Huibara Ai looked at him carefully, then looked around vigilantly.
After finding that there was indeed no one else nearby and didn't sense any suspicious aura, she stood up, walked through the railing that had been broken by Dr. Agasa's new invention a few days ago and had not been repaired yet, and trotted to Jiang Xia's side.
Then he whispered, "Last night, I saw a suspicious person nearby... His aura was somewhat similar to yours."
Last night, after she hid in her room, she slowly realized that the man in black might actually be looking for Jiang Xia - because he was walking by last night, and public transportation had stopped running, and there were no suspicious cars parked nearby... Of course, if the black-clad man around here has nothing to do with Jiang Xia, it's best to tell Jiang Xia. After all, from Huihara Ai's perspective, Jiang Xia does have a tendency to get excited, and this might be a crucial piece of information.
After she reported the news, she looked up at Jiang Xia.
Soon Jiang Xia said, "It doesn't matter, that's my colleague."
"..." As expected. Huihara Ai nodded, feeling relieved: I just hope that no one has discovered her whereabouts and is here to search for her.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard Jiang Xia pause and whisper, "By the way, he may have known that you are Sherry."
Huihara Ai: “?!!”
Jiang Xia looked at the stunned child in front of him and poked her head with his hand in amusement.
Huihara Ai's head tilted back for a moment after being poked, and then returned to its original position as Jiang Xia withdrew his hand. Her pupils shrank and lost their highlights, like a tumbler without a soul.
"..." Miyano Akemi had already been leaning on top of her sister. At this moment, she reached out and touched her sister's head sympathetically.
Jiang Xia poked Huihara Ai again, but there was still no response.
He had no choice but to give up on waking him up manually and try voice control. He continued what he had just said: "However, he seems to have some opinions about the organization, so he doesn't plan to report us... In short, if you encounter him normally, stay away from him - there may be dangerous people around him. But if you have already encountered a dangerous person, when I am not nearby, you can try to walk around his field of vision, and he should be able to provide you with a little help."
Especially when Shuichi Akai happens to be nearby.
Given the emotional entanglement between Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano, if this FBI ace wanted to protect his deceased lover's sister when they met a member of the Black Organization, but saw his sister staring at him vigilantly and then pounced on a cunning member of the organization dressed in black... Jiang Xia thought about that scene and didn't believe that Shuichi Akai would not be murderous at that time.
Although I haven't seen him in person yet, based on experience and rules, the murderous aura on Shuichi Akai is likely to be a special kind of murderous aura with a unique taste.
When Jiangxia was silently imagining the future.
As he spoke, the fear in Haibara Ai's mind was gradually replaced by a wave of "?"
Did they conceal her existence because they had some opinions about the organization? ...With the intelligence and information she had, and the organization's love of silence and secrecy, any member of the organization who was even slightly loyal to the organization would never let her stay outside.
Could it be that Jiang Xia was deceived? For example, the man in black pretended to be on the same side as them, but actually intended to lure her, the big fish who escaped from the organization, and then catch her and those who helped her in one fell swoop... Haibara Ai couldn't help but think of what Conan always said, "Jiang Xia met too many scumbags."
...But, Huiyuan Ai quickly thought again, if the organization suspected her, there was no need to pretend to be friendly with Jiang Xia like this, just arrest them all. But now, she, Dr. Agasa and Jiang Xia, the three people who were most closely connected with "the hiding place of the defector Shirley", were still alive and well.
...This is not "a little opinion" about the organization, this is simply being a traitor. Or like Jiang Xia, work is work, life is life, separate them. Do your best to complete the tasks assigned by the organization, and pretend not to know what the organization doesn't say...
Huihara Ai was a little confused.
But after all, the matter was of great importance. She hesitated for a moment, wanting to try to clarify the situation.
However, before he could speak, there was a sudden "click" sound coming from the direction of the door, as if someone had hit something iron.
"!" Huihara Ai became nervous and swallowed back the words that were about to come out. She moved aside suddenly, like a shy little girl, hiding her iconic mixed-race face behind Jiang Xia.
