Chapter 70



On a quiet night, any sound would be amplified, let alone Toru Amuro who was not relaxed at all.

After hearing what Samuster said in the afternoon, he actually guessed that this guy would look for Jiang Lai at night. So he kept an eye on the noise next door and prepared items for eavesdropping and rescue.

As expected, he caught the knock on the door, as well as the invitation to the tea room.

Amuro Toru listened to the sounds outside gradually moving away - neither of them covered their footsteps, so he was able to tell the direction they were heading based on this.

After roughly judging that the two of them had walked a distance away, Toru Amuro gently opened the door.

The door of the next room happened to open, and a young boy with silver hair walked out in two steps.

Amuro Toru was slightly startled, then with a smile like a big brother next door, he leaned over and asked with concern: "Why did Kurosawa-kun come out? Are you worried about your brother Jiang Lai?"

Kurosawa Akira blinked his grey eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up. He did not answer, but asked: "Where is Amuro brother?"

"Hmm?" Amuro Toru didn't expect the other party to ask like this. He paused for a second, then changed the subject with a smile, "I'm an adult, so there's nothing wrong with that. But you're still a child, so it's best not to go out casually."

"..." Kurosawa Akira tilted his head, "Adults should be careful too."

He said so.

Amuro Toru's purple-gray eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression was still smiling as usual: "Thank you for your concern."

The blond man straightened up and said, "Go back, Kurosawa-kun. Didn't your brother Jiang Lai also tell you not to run around?"

He naturally quoted Jiang Lai's words.

"...Okay." Kurosawa Akira nodded and took a step back. "Goodbye." His gray eyes were very calm.

"..." Amuro Toru took a deep look at the silver-haired boy, smiled and waved, "Okay, see you tomorrow, Kurosawa-chan."

He took a step forward and followed the direction of the sound. Before turning the corner, he glanced back out of the corner of his eyes - the figure of the silver-haired boy was still standing by the door, neither moving back nor forward.

“……” Amuro Toru was deep in thoughts.

There is something unusual about this child.

In a flash, he thought of Conan and Haibara Ai again.

Well...are all primary school students like this nowadays?

In short, I need to pay more attention to Kurosawa in the future. Amuro Toru wrote this down in his mental planner.

He regained his composure and decided to focus on the current matter.

Perhaps because they are confident in the protective equipment outside, the defense inside the institute is not particularly strict.

As a public security policeman and member of the organization, Toru Amuro's stealth ability is naturally first-class. He turned on the small shielding device he carried with him, and at the same time paid attention to avoiding some suspicious places. He followed the door of the tea room as lightly and silently as a cat.

The door with the gilded pattern is particularly conspicuous in this environment. The door is not particularly thick, and the sound insulation effect is not absolutely confidential, but it is still not convenient to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

Toru Amuro stopped by the door, put his hand silently into his pocket and took out his small equipment, put the small earphones in his left ear and pressed the other against the wall.

At the moment he was ready, he heard Samuel's words faintly coming from inside:

"After the treatment is completed... the impact on your work will be relatively small... Mr. Sniper on the rooftop?"

“……!!?”

Rooftop? Sniper?!

Toru Amuro was stunned on the spot. He caught the key words accurately and recalled a certain scene in his mind in a flash!

Once on the top floor of the hotel, there was an incredible sniper from outside!!

Could it be——

The pupils of his purple-gray eyes suddenly shrank, and his mind once again recalled the message he received on his phone!

The mysterious sender HLJ, and Hiro mentioned in his letter.

Combined with what Hagiwara Kenji said, there was a blue-gray figure with slanted eyes who flashed through the fire and carried Jiang Lai out.

So who is Jiang Lai...! And is Hiro really still alive?! What is the relationship between him and Jiang Lai?

Amuro Toru took a deep breath, suppressed all his surging thoughts, calmed down his body and mind, and continued to listen to the sounds inside.

Samuster's mouth curled up, and he directly revealed Jiang Lai's identity as the sniper that night.

"Oh?" Jiang Lai neither admitted nor denied it, but simply responded with an interjection.

Ever since he knew that Amuro Toru was outside the door through the soul body of Morobushi Kagemitsu, he planned to use his full acting skills to push forward Morobushi Kagemitsu's resurrection line.

Although Jiang Lai wanted to directly admit his identity and continue, for the sake of authenticity, he still had to make some detours.

"Are you surprised, young sir?" Summer said leisurely, "I have to say that the surveillance around here is very clean - it must be your companion, right?"

"Want to guess how I recognized you, Mr. Sniper?"

Samuster held the teacup and looked at the black-haired young man opposite him.

"..." Jiang Lai smiled in an ambiguous way and sat up straight. At this moment, he no longer held back his momentum, and a cool, steady, and dangerous aura spread out from him.

The atmosphere in the tea room froze a little. Summer paused, but continued, "It was through the eyes. That amazing glance that night, your eyes have been deeply engraved in my mind." The blond perverted gentleman slowly stroked the wall of the cup with his fingers. "Although it is such a common color, it is really beautiful..."

The black-haired young man held his face with one hand and replied naturally, "Not unexpected. I know you saw it through the function of your glasses, right?"

"Yes, you guessed right." Samuste smiled, "But... I'm still a little curious about why you took action. You saved Amuro Toru, but it seems that he doesn't actually know you."

——The topic has finally come to this point!!

Jiang Lai's heart was filled with fireworks, which showed that Samuster was quite useful as a tool. But on the surface, he still had that smile that was hard to tell whether it was real or fake.

Jiang Lai replied calmly, "I was just asked to do this." His smile had a hint of mischief, "The other party seemed very sincere and interesting when he asked for help for a friend... It's okay to save him."

"Oh?" Samust adjusted his glasses. "Friend? I'm surprised that there is such a person in our organization."

Jiang Lai smiled but did not reply. Instead, he looked at Samuster and said, "The current condition of my hand is probably due to the effects of some kind of drug."

Samuster didn't seem to expect Jiang Lai to stop playing rhetoric with him and instead directly confront him. However, he still acted like a nobleman and replied casually, "How could that be, Mr. Jiang Lai?"

"Be honest with each other. This is the true attitude of negotiating a deal." Although Jiang Lai was smiling, his brown eyes were deeply sunken, which seemed particularly oppressive. "Adjust your attitude, Samuster."

The dangerous momentum came like a rainstorm, freezing the air!

Samuster instinctively curled his fingers slightly. He paused for a second before smiling again: "Ah... Is this the real you, Mr. Jiang Lai?"

He looked at the pair of cold and stern brown eyes in front of him, and his smile became even deeper: "Suddenly I feel that such changing colors are also beautiful... It turns out that keeping one for collection and displaying the other is the best plan." He murmured to himself.

"..." Jiang Lai felt that his patience had increased a lot. At least at this moment he did not splash a cup of tea on the pervert's face...even his facial expression did not change.

He continued, "You and the organization have made this deal before. Drugs that affect the nerves in the hands."

——Who cares if there is a deal or not. Jiang Lai deliberately used a definitive tone, just like when he talked to Hagiwara Kenji. This tone is most likely to confuse other people's memories.

Samuste only recalled for a second: "Probably."

"It seems that my judgment is correct." Jiang Lai nodded, his attitude casual, "Well, if that's the case, it's worth my trip."

"Hmm?" Samuster was slightly stunned, his gray-green eyes showing a hint of consideration.

"There's a problem with a sniper here. I don't want him to be wasted, but ordinary treatments can't cure him, which is a bit of a headache." Jiang Lai said with a smile, "Now we finally found the source, it's here."

Jiang Lai followed the plot speculated by the forum and naturally connected everything together. The reason why Morofu Jingguang couldn't take action that night was because he was poisoned by the organization and couldn't control the sniper rifle stably. At this moment, Jiang Lai went here to get the antidote, which would help him recover completely.

Although Jiang Lai did not mention any names in his speech, he believed that those who knew the situation would be able to fill in the blanks in their own minds - such as Toru Amuro outside the door, and the possible crowd at the three forums.

Samuster looked a little surprised. He was silent for a moment, then raised his lips and said softly, "So, did you plan all this?"

"The eyes are bait, and the weakness is a disguise. It seems that you are being trapped slowly, but in fact you are getting closer and closer to my medical research institute step by step, until you come here in person." Summer said slowly, his tone was no longer frivolous, and he raised his gray-green eyes seriously. "However, it is really brave to let yourself be tricked for the experiment."

Jiang Lai smiled faintly: "...I just felt that the other options were too troublesome, so I took the most convenient path - it's no big deal."

This was his own bargaining chip...or backup plan, and he was absolutely confident. Samuster suppressed his obsession with the collection and remained rational while facing the unpredictable black-haired young man in front of him.

As a person who has provoked the organization and other forces for a long time but is still able to survive to this day, in addition to high-tech protection, Summerst certainly knows how to assess the situation.

When you are not sure about the risk level of the other party, the best option is to act with caution.

"Okay, let's talk again." Samuster sighed, "Really... I thought I had it all figured out this time."

The author has something to say: Jiang Lai: ...Didn't you expect that Samuster's imagination of me would be so majestic?

He even made a plan for me!
