Chapter 208 The Third Player

Even a former Gray Road intelligence dealer who is now a famous novelist has to go out to buy groceries and bargain on his own... This is probably life.

He went out with the garbage bag and scanned the surrounding environment. He nodded slightly at a certain angle to show his friendliness, pretending not to see the other person's expression suddenly changed. Xi Hai Qingdou smiled silently in his heart.

It's such a pity that he can't let these people who have been hiding beside him and watching his presence help him buy groceries... Can this be considered a small prank of revenge?

Life in Yokohama is not easy, and the poor novelist sighs.

When "Mochizuki Kaoru" went out to buy groceries, "Yuyuan Chiaki" also followed Gin all the way to the organization's base.

When the car door opened and they got out, Saikai Haruto looked a little unhappy, while Gin's expression was the exact opposite and much better... which made Saikai Haruto even more unhappy.

"Amnesia" has a thousand advantages, the only disadvantage is that when you meet someone familiar, you will be easily led by the other person's pace... This is the case with "Chiaki Yuzen" and "Gin".

After losing his memory, he and Gin seemed to have switched places. No matter what questions he asked along the way, Gin could always answer them one step ahead... and when he was halfway through asking a question, it was hard for Xi Haiqing Dou not to wonder if Gin did it on purpose.

...Maybe his "question bank" needs to be updated.

Thinking this in his heart, Saikai Haruto appeared to be more relaxed on the surface - after all, for "Yuen Chiaki" who "lost all her memories", she could follow his thoughts and complete the answer so tacitly and quickly, which proved that he and Gin were indeed very familiar, close and trustworthy. So wouldn't it be natural to let down his guard?

Yu Yuan Qianqiu after losing her memory is much easier to understand than before she lost her memory. Although she is also difficult to understand in another way, compared to her irritating state before she lost her memory, her current "silly and sweet" state is more pleasing to the eye.

...At least that's how it works for Gin.

The thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and Gin warned him again with concern: "Remember, if you don't want to be locked up until death, you can't let anyone guess that you have lost your memory. Even if you see other people with any questions, shut up first--"

"I know, I know."

Seeing that Gin was deliberately threatening him, Xi Haiqingdou said helplessly: "You have said this countless times in the car just now, Jin-chan, I will act well, I hate the small dark room."

"But your request is a bit too much. I can't control what other people think..." Xi Hai Qing Dou muttered: "Wow, are you really not planning to take advantage of my amnesia and deliberately make such a request to take advantage of the situation to settle personal grudges?"

The dark green eyes stared at him for a moment, until Xi Haiqingdou felt a little scared and thought he had said something wrong, then Gin looked away calmly.

"You'd better." His voice was extremely cold. "Don't pretend to be nice to me. As long as you don't deliberately cause me any unnecessary trouble, nothing will go wrong. No one will notice."

Taking revenge on personal grudges... Where on earth did this guy get the audacity to say that? Isn't he the guy who is best at taking revenge on personal grudges?

"Wow, Jin-chan, do you trust me here? It's really touching." Xi Haiqingdou said with a smile, and rubbed his chin with his fingers, thinking: "So I am such a good actor in your heart, Jin-chan? Did I ever study acting before I lost my memory?"

He turned his puzzled look to Gin again, as if expecting his answer.

Gin, who had almost no idea what he had been doing in Europe in the past ten years, remained silent.

Given this guy's personality... Gin thought about it and realized that this possibility is actually possible?

Gin's face darkened.

"Gin? Cointreau?"

A young man with blond hair, blue eyes, dark skin and a baby face appeared from the corner. He looked around at Saikai Haruto and Gin and gave them a friendly smile that was too sweet: "Long time no see... Jundu, are you the missing person who finally returned?"

Xi Haiqing Dou smiled and ignored him. Gin looked at him coldly and spoke first: "Bourbon, what's the matter?"

"It's just a little curiosity as an intelligence officer and colleague." Furiya Ling smiled and said casually, "After all, I heard from Bermode two days ago that even she and Rum couldn't contact Cointreau, and it almost made people suspect that he had suddenly defected."

"Except for the Boss, there is no need to report Cointreau's schedule to anyone else." Gin glanced at him coldly and warned him, "Bourbon, your curiosity has crossed the line."

"I didn't do anything. I was just curious." Furiya Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at Saikai Haruto: "Gin didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?"

This Cointreau guy... seems to be different from before... It feels strange.

Haruto Nishimi put his hands in his pockets and stood leisurely beside Gin like an outsider, watching the two of them fighting. He still smiled and said nothing. He also ignored Furukaya Rei's probing gaze, as if the person he was talking about was not him.

"If you have so much free time to be curious, why not check if there are any other mice around you that you have missed?"

Gin sarcastically replied, "Even Canada's problems need to be discovered and solved by others. It makes people wonder whether you are a waste as an intelligence officer. Your curiosity is useless."

"Let's go. The boss is still waiting." Gin said to Saikai Haruto without turning his head, and stepped over Furuya Rei without hesitation and walked forward.

Saikai Haruto politely raised his lips and nodded towards Furiya Rei with a smile, then leisurely followed Gin's footsteps and left.

[Wow, system, did you see that? Gin and Furuya Rei are arguing over me... This scene is really interesting.]

In his mind, Xi Haiqing Dou happily watched the show with the system: [Did you take the picture? Did you take the picture? ]

【The video has been recorded and saved.】

[Wow, it turns out that you, the system, understand me best. ]

Furukaya Rei was not angered by Gin's words. Instead, he stared at Saikai Haruto's back thoughtfully for another two seconds before retracting his gaze and turning to walk in another direction, without noticing that a black figure seemed to flash by at the edge.

There is indeed a problem.

Given Cointreau's personality, he didn't say a word just now, and Gin was deliberately provoking him as if to help Cointreau out... This is obviously abnormal.

And when the two of them came over, Cointreau seemed to be following behind Gin?

There was no sign of vodka either.

But... those "abnormalities" are a little too obvious.

The smiling face of the white-haired young man appeared in my mind, and his beautiful golden eyes were particularly eye-catching - transparent and pure, soft as if without any sharpness, which was completely different from his previous look that was as deep and unpredictable as a swamp that made people fall into it, and with an inorganic and indifferent sharpness that made people dare not look at him. It was a world of difference. One could almost notice the difference between the before and the after in an instant, to the extent that one almost suspected that he had been swapped.

But he appeared with Gin, and based on his understanding of Gin, the possibility that the man was not Cointreau was also very small. And apart from the change in his eyes and the fact that he didn't speak, there was obviously nothing wrong with Cointreau. So it should be Cointreau himself.

More doubts suddenly emerged in Fūya Rei's mind.

But, when did that guy’s eyes become so… too “innocent”?

Fūya Rei couldn't help but shudder slightly, touched his arm, and almost got goosebumps all over his body because of his own thoughts.

Disgusting... it's so weird.

What happened to Cointreau?

If he really has a problem now, then Gin obviously knows about it, and the boss of the organization should also know about it. But neither Bermode nor Rum should know about it, and Cointreau's disappearance in recent days should also be related to this change.

Could it be related to a secret hidden by the organization?

...Of course, it is not ruled out that Jundu did it on purpose and just wanted to use this to test his intentions.

And this possibility is also not small... After all, the situation in Canada is still fresh in our memory.

There is even a high possibility that Cointreau is having another fit... after all, all the code-named members of that rotten organization know at least a thing or two about it.

But if he could even fake his eyes to this extent, what on earth was he trying to achieve?

Curiosity drove him to continue exploring, but his vigilance against Cointreau prevented him from acting rashly.

But... Furuya Ling thought, no, it would be better to find another opportunity to test it. Of course, this time, he didn't have to use his own hand.

Gin and Saikai Haruto walked forward one after the other, until they could no longer see Furuya Rei. Gin frowned and asked him, "Why did you do that just now?"

"Didn't you tell me to shut up before?"

Gin didn't finish his words, and Saikai Haruto spontaneously understood that he was asking him why he didn't say or do anything just now, and felt extremely wronged: "I think you should be satisfied with my behavior, Jin-chan? You are so difficult to please."

A bastard who has lost his memory is still a bastard, his nature will not change at all... He endured it. Gin was silent for a moment: "Next time you can speak up."

"I understand. I'll definitely do it next time." Xihai Qingdou nodded with a smile.

"That guy is Bourbon, a very good disguiser who likes to pry into other people's inner thoughts. Don't be nice to him next time you see him."

After finishing his subjective words, Gin continued: "Because you didn't say anything just now, that guy probably guessed that something was wrong, but he probably couldn't guess the real reason. He can't do anything to you, and you don't have much interaction with him, so there's no need to pay attention to him."

"Really?" Xi Hai Qing Dou blinked and said deliberately: "But I don't think I dislike him... Of course, don't worry, he still can't compare to you in my heart."

"Stop talking useless nonsense." Gin obviously didn't appreciate it. He led Xi Haiqing around in twists and turns as if he was familiar with the route. Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at a laboratory.

——Of course Gin was the one who tricked Furuya Rei into saying he was going to meet the Boss. In fact, before coming here, Saikai Haruto had already had a one-sided video call with the Boss in the presence of Gin.

The reason we came here was actually for a "physical checkup after amnesia" - that's what Gin said.

He knocked on the door politely, and after three breaths, without waiting for a response, Gin spontaneously opened the door of the laboratory and walked in with Xihai Qingdou.

Their movement was neither too big nor too small, but it was just enough to attract the attention of everyone inside.

The girl, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing rubber gloves and a white coat, turned her head, looked at the two of them unhappily, handed the glass test tube in her hand to the experimenter next to her, and walked towards them.

"This is my laboratory. I told you not to come in here casually."

The girl frowned and emphasized the word "my".

"I knocked on the door." Gin glanced at her.

So it can't be said that you can come and go as you please - if you didn't hear or respond, it's your problem.

Miyano Shiho easily read his unfinished intention and almost laughed out of anger... Unfortunately, she could only be angry but not say anything under Gin's cold breath.

...Damn, I really want to hang a "Gin and Dogs Not Allowed" sign on the door of the lab. It would be better if Cointreau did it.

Miyano Shiho was secretly complaining in her heart.

"Shirley, draw his blood and give him a full physical examination. Right now." Gin emphasized the word "full".

What the hell? Gin actually started calling her by her code name.

Miyano Shiho looked at Gin and Saikai Haruto in surprise, but did not agree: "I have other experiments going on, which will take at least until... tomorrow."

“This is a notification.”

Miyano Shiho pursed her lips, also unwilling to give in: "This experiment is also a very important research for the organization, and we can't waste time. I can let others do the inspection."

"No." Gin's voice became even colder, and his attitude was particularly tough: "You must come to inspect the Cointreau, right now, within an hour. No matter what step of the experiment you are doing now, pause it for me. This is also the boss's order."

"Shirley-chan, good afternoon." Xi Haiqingdou narrowed her eyes and greeted her without any strangeness, her voice extremely gentle: "Don't be angry, although what Zhen-chan said is not very pleasant, but I still ask you to check carefully, remember to be gentle... I am very afraid of pain."

...I haven't seen him for a few days. Is this guy sick again?

Frightened by his overly gentle tone, Miyano Shiho gave him a suspicious look.
