Inside and outside the building are two completely opposite landscapes and moods.

Outside the cylindrical building, the surrounding crowd was evacuated and isolated, and the police were discussing countermeasures outside with serious expressions and communicating with the upper command.

Kenji Hagiwara clenched his fists. He stared at the gray-black building that blocked off everything, his heart filled with worry for his friend: ...but please, please don't let anything happen to Eira.

He couldn't help but recall the last scene in his mind - the ray of sunlight that passed over the black-haired young man's eyebrows, making those warm brown eyes even clearer and brighter, the other party's panic-stricken and helpless eyes swayed towards the police officers in front, but with trust and hope, he looked at him in the distance at the last moment.

The young man's face was filled with hope, and then the cold, hard iron door suddenly closed, shrouding the other side in darkness, and everything was completely isolated.

Damn...!

Kenji Hagiwara narrowed his purple eyes, and his usually casual and lazy demeanor now became serious and cold.

If that guy chooses to contact other forces inside, for the sake of safety, he will most likely eliminate the unexpected factors of the hostages first, such as knocking them unconscious or removing their ability to move.

Hagiwara Kenji knew that the target was definitely not a kind-hearted guy. He could almost imagine the atrocities that the target would commit against Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai was in that dark building, unable to even send out a cry for help.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and remained calm for a few seconds, erasing the cruel scene he had imagined in his mind.

...We must find a way to rescue Xiao Jianglai as soon as possible. The police officer with half-long hair had a spark of fire in his purple eyes. He was a police officer who had always been trusted by the other party, and he must not let down every trust and responsibility.

Komiyama Yuu looked very sad and stood beside Hagiwara Kenji: "I'm sorry... Senior, I couldn't save him. It's my fault."

Kenji Hagiwara also heard what happened just now, and he replied: "It's not your fault. It's already very good that you can find the target person from the crowd." He learned from the uncle-faced police officer that it was Yu Komiyama who had locked on to the target, and he informed other plainclothes police officers to form a capture circle.

At first, Kenji Hagiwara did not allow Yuu Komiyama to participate because he was worried that he lacked experience and might be vulnerable to danger, but now it seems that he has good abilities and is willing to sacrifice for the people.

"Is he a very important person to your senior?" Komiyayama asked, his light beige hair falling to one side as he tilted his head. "A friend you've known for a long time?"

"Yes, a very important friend." Hagiwara Kenji exhaled, "Neighbors on the upper and lower floors. The time is not long, but not short either."

"Is that so... But don't worry too much, senior. We will definitely be able to rescue the hostages safely." Komiyayama Yuu clenched his fist firmly, then blinked and said, "Besides, maybe your friend can protect himself? I heard that he can defuse bombs and has experienced dangerous situations. Maybe he has some self-protection ability."

"I'm afraid the situation is not very optimistic." Hagiwara Kenji shook his head lightly, "He is just an ordinary person with a kind heart. He only has theoretical knowledge of bomb disposal. Facing this situation... he is powerless."

"Who knows what will happen inside." Hagiwara Kenji pursed his lips and looked at the building again, as if his vision could penetrate the wall and see the scene inside the building.

Hang in there, little Jiang Lai. We will definitely rescue you, Hagiwara Kenji silently said in his heart.

"Ah, Senior is right." Komiyama Yuu also looked at the cylindrical building, his purple eyes flowing with ripples, "...Who knows what will happen inside."

Inside the cylindrical building, it was dark, damp, and the air was murky.

Jiang Lai held a gun in one hand and pressed it against the target person, with a natural smile on his lips, and his drooping warm brown eyes appeared deep against the dark background.

His posture was casual, and he even took out his mobile phone with his free hand and tapped it with one hand. His powerful aura enveloped the area.

The target, pinned to the ground, calmed his breathing and gradually came out of the chaos. He tried to get out of it in a clever way, but when he was about to move, he heard the black-haired young man's calm words: "You'd better not move."

The target person moves for a moment.

"Because my finger is on the trigger," Jiang Lai said with a smile, but there was hidden pressure, "Be careful, it's easy to fire accidentally."

Sensing Jiang Lai's faint murderous intent, the target froze for a moment, and then said, "You, exactly..." Who was the other party? Just now, he clearly allowed himself to be abused without resistance, but in fact, he had been hiding his strength until this moment.

The target's voice quickly fell silent as his thoughts came to a head, and then he said hastily, as if he had realized something: "You did it on purpose just now!? The hostages are just an appearance...!"

I deliberately froze in place, deliberately acted panicked, deliberately acted weak, just for this moment? !

"That's right, Mr. Target," Jiang Lai said with a smile, "but there is no reward." He put the phone back into his pocket.

The target's heart was pounding, his mind racing as he pondered the other person's identity - he had no impression of the black-haired young man in front of him.

"...What do you want to know?" The target lowered his voice and took the initiative to show goodwill, "As long as you let me leave here, I can tell you!"

Jiang Lai lowered his eyes: "But there is nothing I want to know."

The meaning of this sentence sounded like they only wanted his life. The target's eyes condensed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me, and that hidden organization will definitely not let you go!"

Those of them who roam in the dark should all be aware of the existence of that organization.

"Ah," Jiang Lai chuckled, "I didn't expect that a damn traitor like you would actually bring up the name of the organization."

The target was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Pinot Noir!?"

The time and location were so coincidental, and he was suspected to be a character in the organization. The target person's first reaction was that the organization sent Pinot Noir to arrest him!

But according to what I have heard, Pinot Noir should have purple eyes!!

Jiang Lai smiled, as if he could guess what the target person was thinking, and continued, "Your intelligence should be updated, sir."

There was no direct denial or acknowledgment in the words, but this response seemed to tacitly acknowledge the target person's address.

The target was stunned for a moment, then he lay flat on the ground, as if giving up resistance and replied, "...Okay, arrest me, right?"

Let’s just catch him! The target person closed his eyes and thought. At least he’s still alive. As long as he’s alive, there’s always a chance—

Besides, there are policemen surrounding the place, maybe this guy will be arrested too. He thought viciously in his heart. He would not let them take him back to the organization easily, it would only make things more difficult, and it was not certain who would survive to the end!

"Is it because I chatted with you for a few minutes that you thought I was going to capture him alive?" Jiang Lai lowered the gun and said with a smile, "Forget to say, Rum has changed his mind a long time ago. Go to hell--"

"??!"

"No, no, no, wait!!" the target shouted before Jiang Lai finished speaking, "You can't just kill me like this! I know an intelligence secret that is of great significance to you!!"

Hearing that Jiang Lai was going to shoot, the target person didn't care about anything else and quickly spoke out. His excited chest rose and fell, and he tried his best to turn his head to look at the black-haired young man behind him.

However, Jiang Lai seemed unmoved: "Such an excuse is not credible." He was pulling up the target's coat, as if looking for a good angle from which he could shoot without getting blood splattered.

"It's true!!" The target person gritted his teeth and said, "Curaçao is a traitor from Rum. She is not from your faction--!"

"Oh?" Jiang Lai finally paused.

"... Curacao is not actually a member of the Rum faction. She only pretended to carry out the mission assigned to her by the organization to kill Miyano Akemi, but she actually protected that woman!" The target person exhaled and tried to speak in a calm voice, "I have evidence... I am the only one who has evidence, so you can't kill me!"

Miyano Akemi is actually still alive!

Jiang Lai's heart skipped a beat.

I just didn't expect that Curacao and Akemi Miyano could be connected. They should have no intersection in the original book, but I didn't expect that they would have some connection in this new series?

Curacao actually saved Miyano Akemi in secret...but why?

Then again, as the second-in-command of the organization, Rum should be on the side of the current gentleman. So, to say that Curacao is a traitor to the Rum faction means... could it be that the other party is on my side?

This guy really can’t stay!

Jiang Lai had already made up his mind, but he showed nothing on the surface.

He was just pretending to threaten and intimidate to create an oppressive atmosphere to extract key information. Jiang Lai himself certainly couldn't just kill the other party like this - after all, in the eyes of those people outside, he was an ordinary, friendly, and protected little white rabbit.

And even if you are defending properly and kill the opponent, it will be very troublesome afterwards.

The reason why Jiang Lai grabbed the other party's gun so naturally was that generally speaking, when the murderer is clear, the police will not specifically check the fingerprints on the gun.

However, even if his fingerprints were found during the inspection, Jiang Lai had already made up a lot of excuses - he was threatened, he tried to resist, he was teased, he failed and was strangled... In short, he was as helpless as he could be.

Jiang Lai: Poor, weak, and helpless.jpg

Just now, as he quickly tapped his phone, he sent a message to Pinot Noir and Lei again in the name of Ice Wine, informing them that the target person had entered the cylindrical building next to the carousel. There was no surveillance in this building, but Jiang Lai collected the general structural diagram from the Internet and sent it to Lei and Pinot Noir.

To get out of here, one can either go out through the iron door or climb up the stairs to the top floor and take the external emergency ladder on the top floor (the target person specifically emphasized the threat when closing the iron door that no matter which route the police took, as long as they entered the building, he would kill the hostages).

Jiang Lai knew that no matter whether it was the main gate or the top floor, as long as Lei locked the building, he could open fire and snipe the target person at the first moment.

——So Lei can just drop the knife, there is no need for me to do it myself.

So Jiang Lai pulled the muzzle of the gun back slightly, looking like he was considering what the other party said.

He nodded and said, "In this case, the organization will spare your life for now. However, if we find out that you have deceived the organization..."

The target shook his head wildly.

The black-haired young man's voice was clear and a little bit funny: "Well, let's go to the top floor. Let's continue our gangster hostage show. Someone will come to pick us up later."

The author has something to say: Kenji Hagiwara: Damn it... Little Jiang Lai is suffering in there, we must rescue him quickly!
