Chapter 62 The First Player

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more... I was wondering why you are so easily angered? You always have a stern face. Aren't you afraid that someone will mistake us for our generation when we go out together someday?"

To be honest, there is not much age difference between the two of them, but when they are walking outside, the kids are more willing to call him "brother" and Gin "uncle", which always makes Xihai Qingdou laugh until his stomach hurts... and then the next time he will be very interested and never get tired of it and will randomly pick up a kid on the street to play this "game" - because it is really interesting to see Gin's black face.

Xihai Qingdou was "forced" to stand up straight, adjusted his posture, and quickly put on a serious look.

"At least give me some face."

It was really embarrassing for him to be held in Gin's hands like this - although most people were on the right side of the training ground, they only dared to prick up their ears curiously and occasionally glance over pretending to be coincidental. After all, Cointreau was fine, but no one dared to stare at them curiously in Gin's eyes.

But this still made him feel very embarrassed. What kind of talk was this?

——Then again, “dare not look at Gin but dare look at Cointreau” does not mean that Cointreau’s status in the organization is not as high as Gin’s, but that he is quite easy-going towards most members of the organization, and many of them can occasionally talk to him. His temper is so good that he doesn’t even look like a senior code member of the organization; compared with Gin and Cointreau, he is much more scary - even if he doesn’t speak, just standing there is enough oppression.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many people crowded in the training ground on the right, but no one dares to come to the shooting range on the left to train like Saikai Haruto and Vodka.

After all, not everyone drinks vodka or Cointreau, and can train without batting an eyelid while drinking gin.

Moreover, if he fails to perform well due to a shaking hand and is scolded by Gin with a frown, his mentality will not collapse. After all, as a member of the organization, he at least has the ability to withstand pressure. But if Gin gives him more training, that would be really uncomfortable.

"Face? Do you have that kind of thing?"

Seeing that Saikai Haruto finally stopped leaning against the railing, Gin's expression improved a little. Although he still spoke harshly, he still let go of his hand honestly.

After all, they have been partners for many years. What they do in private is another matter. Unless he does something really too excessive, Gin will not really embarrass him in front of so many people.

"Now you can tell me, what exactly are you doing here out of nowhere?"

Saikai Haruto has always been very lazy and would never show up at the training ground unless there was something urgent. Ever since Gin warned him to deal with those private messages last time, Gin himself has been busy with various things. This is the first time the two have met.

Xi Haiqingdou turned his wrist, and a small silver-white pistol appeared in his hand. It had a simple and compact shape, with a strong sense of technology. Except that the size seemed a bit small and did not seem like a style for adult men, its appearance alone could be described as "beautiful".

"Would you like to try this gun?" Saikai Haruto said.

Gin frowned, took the semi-automatic pistol in his hand - even the weight was very light - and then without asking anything in a hurry, turned around and walked towards the shooting range again, loaded the bullet, and aimed at the shooting range while adjusting his posture.

After a few gunshots, Gin came back again with the small pistol in his hand, and threw the gun back into Xi Haiqing Dou's arms with disgust: "It's too flying."

It feels light and fluffy, and Gin doesn't like it very much. He feels a little insensitive to this thing that is only good for its appearance - even in Gin's eyes, this thing doesn't even look good.

"I didn't ask you how it feels." Xi Haiqingdou took the gun and walked over. He hung the gun between his fingers and turned it around. He looked thoughtfully at the marks left by the bullet on the target in front of him.

"I'm still a little short of the 100-meter mark... I still don't think I'm good enough."

"What about the rest? How about stability? And how about recoil?"

"It's just OK." Gin's answer was brief and to the point. "The stability is good. I can't feel the recoil... It's not very useful."

"Of course this isn't for you."

Xi Haiqingdou casually threw the silver pistol in his hand up and caught it again, repeated it twice, removed the magazine and refilled it with bullets, then opened the safety again and casually fired a few shots at the target in front of him.

7 rings, 10 rings, 10 rings.

"Within 50 meters, it's okay." He said to himself, but his brows were slightly wrinkled.

"For that little girl?" Gin looked indifferent, obviously guessing who the gun in his hand was intended for.

"Yes." Saikai Haruto smiled, "For Shirley."

"Although my sister is only fourteen years old, she is still a code member of the organization, and I am her current guardian... If she doesn't know how to use a gun, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing for me to tell others?"

"But she is a girl, and she is so young. As a guardian, I have no choice but to prepare a gun suitable for her as a guardian gift."

Gin looked strange. "I say, Cointreau, you are not really addicted to playing house with children, are you? Are you going to let me practice shooting with that little girl next? I don't have so much free time to waste on such meaningless things with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are slandering me." Xi Hai Qing Dou rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Am I that kind of unreliable person?"

Then he changed his expression to a serious one, "And how can you say that about little Shirley? I kindly remind you that the child is a genius scientist that the boss values ​​very much. It's the first time in the organization that she has been given a code name at the age of 14, right? Don't underestimate her."

"What does this have to do with me? What she does has nothing to do with me."

Gin was getting a little impatient: "Stop talking nonsense, what are you going to do?"

Xi Haiqingdou said obediently: "Oh, I want to ask you, do you have anyone under your command who has a good temper and good patience, and preferably can cook and drive, and who has no tasks recently?"

Gin was silent for a moment, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but jump out again.

He took a deep breath and said, "What on earth are you thinking about? I remember that you haven't received any missions recently. What do you want me to do?"

He still has so many demands... What does this guy think of him?

Xi Haiqingdou began to act like a jerk: "Just tell me if there is any."

"No." Gin answered without hesitation.

"I don't believe it." Xi Haiqingdou blinked his eyes, looking like a rogue, "If you don't have it, then why don't you lend me the vodka? It can be used in combination. I'll pay you separately."

Seeing that the fire suddenly burned him for some unknown reason, Vodka immediately widened his eyes and waved his hands: "No, no, Cointreau, I can't do it. I will go wherever Big Brother goes! I will be Big Brother's man all my life! And I, I can't cook!"

"Why not? Gin doesn't have any missions recently."

Xi Haiqingdou raised his eyebrows. He had just said it casually, but seeing his attitude, he became serious. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible and met his requirements. He said confidently, "I think you are free anyway, and Gin can do nothing without you."

Vodka was speechless for a moment, but he still mustered up the courage to say loudly: "Against, it's just not possible!"

"That's enough." Gin frowned impatiently and interrupted their messy conversation. He glanced at Xi Hai Qing Dou again and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do by looking for someone?"

"Gin, you know me well. When I'm busy, I can take care of myself, let alone take care of others."

After Gin said this, Saikai Haruto knew that he had almost compromised. His originally fierce expression immediately softened, his eyes smiled, and his voice was cheerful: "But I have always had a problem. If I have something halfway done, I will not put it down and do something else."

He stopped being a mystery teller this time and explained in full: "You've also discovered this gun. I originally intended to give it to Shirley, but it's now a defective product with many flaws, so I plan to think about it again in the next few days - the things I give away can't be imperfect. But if I do that, I naturally won't be able to take good care of Shirley... This is also not what a qualified guardian should do."

"I asked you to lend me this person, and I also wanted him to teach Shirley some basic knowledge about guns and ammunition, so that she can gain some experience. You know me well. I don't have the patience to teach a child who knows nothing. And if she starts crying, I won't be able to handle it."

This reason sounds somewhat plausible.

A member of the organization, even a 14-year-old girl, should not be unable to shoot a gun, especially a member who has been given a code name. This is natural in Gin's view, even though Miyano Shiho is not only only 14 years old, but also a scientific researcher.

But there's something a little bit wrong here...

Gin stared at Xi Haiqing Dou for two seconds, and suddenly asked: "What has Shirley done these days?"

Just as Saikai Haruto understands Gin, Gin also understands Cointreau in the same way. He knows that he cannot have come up with this idea suddenly, otherwise he would not have brought it up until now - he has always been a person who will do something immediately when he thinks of it.

There must have been some opportunity that gave him the idea of ​​"letting Shirley learn shooting", and that opportunity must have been Shirley.

"Nothing. I just took her out for a Ferris wheel ride yesterday and happened to see a bombing. Shirley seemed a little frightened."

Xi Haiqingdou tilted his head, "So it suddenly occurred to me that Shirley seems to have never been exposed to anything in this area... I hope this time I can give her some training."

"The explosion at Beihu Shopping Center yesterday?"

Gin was speechless for a moment, then sneered and said, "What a waste."

...It seems that the bomber is not a member of the organization.

"Hmm, in your eyes there aren't many who are not trash, right?"

Xi Haiqingdou replied casually, "Shirley is a scientist after all. She has never been exposed to these things before, so it is normal for her to be afraid. She will grow up with practice."

But this doesn't necessarily require the Big Brother's men, right? As far as he knows... No, that's not right. Everyone in the organization knows that the people under Cointreau are in charge of the entire "equipment group" of the organization. Isn't it possible to pick people from there? Isn't it much easier to draw people from your own people than to borrow people from Big Brother? Or is there some "hidden secret"?

Vodka tried hard to suppress his curiosity.

The thought had just gone through his mind, and before Vodka was about to ask, he saw Cointreau glance at him casually, then looked away nonchalantly, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said, "Those people under me... well, you know Gin, although they are exposed to those things every day, but those people... well, I don't feel comfortable leaving Shirley to them, so I still need your help. Oh, by the way, it's best if it's a female member, but of course I'm not picky about men."

——Damn, Cointreau can’t really read minds, right?

The passing golden eyes reminded Vodka of the lie that Cointreau had made up to deceive the brothers when they were on a mission in Yokohama together. This strange thought flashed through his mind.

Xi Haiqing Dou never thought that his eyes could make Vodka think so much.

Those people in the equipment group, apart from being able to do some professional work well, are all lazy and ignorant. If we ask them to look after Miyano Shiho, it is another matter whether Miyano Shiho will look after them in the end.

And those people have a common problem, which is that they usually don't care much about things like "human nature"... Nishimi Haruto wanted to "train" Miyano Shiho a little, not to make her become another extreme.

Gin didn't know whether he understood what he meant or not. He was stunned for a moment, his face was solemn for a moment, and then he returned to normal and nodded to him: "I understand."

He took out a cell phone from his coat pocket, dialed a number, and then casually threw it to Xi Haiqing Dou.

Haruto Nishimami took it and took a look. The name displayed on the phone was "Scotland".

"This person almost meets your requirements, except that he is not a woman." Gin said, "You can talk to him about the rest yourself."
