Jiang Lai looked at the message sent to him by Akai Shuichi, his expression was slightly stunned before he reacted. For a moment he thought: Could it be that I have lit up the halo of making my wish come true?
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Jiang Lai raised the corners of his lips and revealed a bright smile.
Kurosawa Akira, who was walking with him, tilted his head and asked, "Brother Jiang Lai, are you in a good mood now?"
Jiang Lai smiled and replied: "I thought of something interesting."
He responded by tapping on the keyboard, not in a hurry to expose his initiative.
[#羊毛君#: Me? Hello, this is the 羊毛店, you can call me 羊毛君~Want to chat? I have a chat service, 50% off, $1,000 per chat~]
1000 USD is about 6000 RMB. The price should be reasonable (?)
Jiang Lai used the attitude of slaughtering a fat sheep, with the idea of not scaring the other party away but making a little money.
[#LeiYi#: ...I'm not here to chat with you. 】
[#Lei#: You clearly know me, there is no need to pretend like this. ]
The other party's reply is meaningless. Jiang Lai sighed in his heart and smiled and tapped:
[#羊毛君#: Meh, I know, I know~ the famous FBI ace! That’s why I gave you a 50% discount just now. ]
[#羊毛君#: Oh, by the way, I still have the drafts of your photos here, do you want to buy them all? They are very cheap! 30,000 US dollars per photo, and there are 4 photos in total! ]
[#Lei#:……]
【#LeiYi#: Deleted. 】
Jiang Lai could almost imagine the frown on the other person's face, or the scene where his face was calm but his dark green wolf eyes were gloomy. However, he still maintained his identity and continued to type in his reply in a light tone.
[#羊毛君#: If you give me money, I will delete it. Otherwise, I will photoshop it into a "beep" picture and post it on the "beep" website, and attach my contact information. You will definitely be very popular~ (Little Wool Sheep Dancing.jpg)]
[#Lei#:……]
[#Lei#: ...You. 】
[#羊毛君#: Meow, just tell me whether you want to fight for money or not~ Meow Meow loves the US dollar~]
【#羊毛君#: Will you give me money or not? Will you give me money or not?】
There was no response from the other side for a while.
Jiang Lai (touching his chin): Is it because my characterization of Yangmaojun is too powerful? Or is it that this threat is completely useless?
Maybe Shuichi Akai is trying to crack his email and identity, or request an investigation from the headquarters. But Jiang Lai is not worried at all.
Seeing that there was no response from the other side, he was thinking whether he should relax the financial requirements a bit, or increase the conditions, such as sending it to his FBI colleague or something (……) Then Jiang Lai received a payment notification.
Oh, yeah! You're a straightforward person!
Jiang Lai's eyes lit up, and he responded happily: [#羊毛君#: Got it, dear Mr. FBI~ Thank you for your patronage, I have deleted them all! ]
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lai typed: [#羊毛君#: Meh, remember to take medicine on time next time to save your life. Otherwise, I will catch you when you are sick and take pictures. 】
Perfect, I emphasize taking medicine again, Akai should not be in such a dying state again. Jiang Lai is very satisfied.
Shuichi Akai is indeed the ace of the FBI. He quickly skipped the previous topic and focused on the key point of Jiang Lai's reply just now.
[#Lei#: You want me to be alive because you want to cooperate.] He pointed out the point.
[#Lei#: You intend to use me and the FBI resources behind you to fight against the current boss of the organization - if my reasoning is correct, you are the one on the side of the hidden boss. ]
Jiang Lai laughed and he replied slowly.
【#羊毛君#: Meh, guess what? If yes, do you want to pay me? 】
[#萊伊#: If you want to cooperate, being honest is the best attitude. 】
【#羊毛君#: Meh, I don’t care about these things, okay? 】
There was another silence. Jiang Lai was not in a hurry. He knew that the other party must be thinking.
Jiang Lai also had his own plans. He knew that he couldn't just talk about cooperation or give out his hidden boss email address so easily.
Things that are too easy to obtain will not be cherished and will appear fake.
As a hidden boss, of course I can't collect the bait so quickly.
[#Lei#: ...Since you don't care, then tell me your boss's email address and we can discuss cooperation. ]
[#羊毛君#: huh? Little 羊毛 won’t reveal any information casually~]
[#Lei#: Since your boss chose to rescue me, he had a purpose. It was definitely not out of some goodwill. Since there is a purpose, then let's exchange terms.]
Jiang Lai: ...Actually, it was well-intentioned at the beginning.
After all, I am a good person with a good family background!
[#羊毛君#: But what does this have to do with the little sheep? ]
[#Lei#: Your current behavior of blocking communication is against your boss's original intention. Do you want to go against your boss? ]
Well, you are really good at grasping the art of language. Jiang Lai's eyebrows curved.
[#羊毛君#: The boss is always the boss. It is not the FBI's turn to intervene if I violate the rules. But what is your purpose in getting close to the boss? ]
[#Lei#: I said, communicate and then negotiate terms. Since both parties have their own goals, let’s talk it out. ]
Jiang Lai touched his chin and tapped: [#羊毛君#: ...meh, well, since it looks like the boss wants it... it's not impossible. For the email address, 500,000 US dollars! ]
[#Lei#:? ]
【#Yangmaojun: 5 million US dollars. 】
[#Lei#:? ? ]
[#羊毛君#: 50 million US dollars. ]
[#Ley#: ...I'm just an FBI agent. 】
【#羊毛君#: Meh, if you have money, we can talk about it. If you don’t have money, forget it~ just ask your police station for it. 】
Silence fell again on the other side.
Jiang Lai made a cross in his heart.
I'm really sorry, Mr. Ace, but the money you collected will eventually be used to fight against the wine factory, so just consider it an investment. =v=
Jiang Lai put away his phone, knowing that the other party might not respond to him for a while.
Whether it is about obtaining the hidden boss's email address or applying for $50 million, it will take some time.
He would certainly give the other party time to think and prepare. Jiang Lai believed that since Akai Shuichi had chosen this path, he must have thought it through carefully, so he would not easily give up and hide the possibility of reaching cooperation with BOSS.
Hmm... If I delay it for a while and increase the difficulty, the mailbox I get in the end will be more realistic. Jiang Lai thought with a smile. As a hidden boss, it must be very difficult to approach!
——So it is absolutely impossible for me to come out and do the task myself, such as mopping the floor and cleaning the sink!
Jiang Lai nodded with relief.
However, after the cooperation was truly reached, Jiang Lai did not intend to let Malbek and Akai Shuichi know each other right away. Because he was not sure who was loyal and who was not, or whether someone would intentionally or unintentionally tell that gentleman.
Jiang Lai: ...It's really frustrating.
Only when you really try to run an organization, you can really feel the trouble of being an undercover agent! Moreover, there is no limit to the number of undercover agents.
"Brother Jiang Lai?" Kurosawa Akira beside him looked up, "Are you done with your work?" He blinked his dark green eyes lightly.
"Hey? Nothing. Oh, it's almost time for dinner." Jiang Lai turned his head to look at the silver-haired boy beside him, "Xiao Zhao, what do you want to eat?"
"Hmm..." The silver-haired boy put his index finger on his chin and thought for a while, "I don't really know, I want to eat some sweets or something..."
"You should eat less sweets at night." Jiang Lai shook his fingers, "Let's go to the cafeteria."
"Eh... can't you eat sweets?" Kurosawa Akira looked depressed.
"..." Jiang Lai touched the other person's head and said half-jokingly, "How about this, I'll give you some time. You go to the restaurant first, and you can eat less snacks before I get there~"
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Kurosawa Akira with dark green eyes looked excited and happy. He jumped and ran away like a little rabbit.
Jiang Lai looked at Kurosawa Akira's back from afar, and felt in his heart that children are really energetic.
He was walking leisurely as if taking a stroll, and when he turned the corner, he bumped into a child head-on!
The opponent was running, so the impact was naturally very strong, and he hit Jiang Lai like a small cannonball!
Fortunately, Jiang Lai's chassis was relatively stable, and he subconsciously took half a step back to ease the impact. His first reaction was, could it be that Kurosawa Akira had come back to find him again?
His expression was stunned for a few tenths of a second, then Jiang Lai lowered his head to look at the person who was approaching him.
The other party was obviously hit hard and fell backwards, but fortunately he was looking back just now, so his glasses were not hit when he was hit. The familiar black hairstyle and royal blue eyes are Edogawa Conan.
——Running and fighting in the corridor is very dangerous!
Jiang Lai helped him up: "Conan? You..."
The young detective looked a little dazed after bumping into someone, but now he became serious again. He grabbed Jiang Lai's wrist and seemed to want to say something, but before he could open his mouth, a man slowly walked out from the corner.
The man had dry hair like dead grass, and wore a deerstalker hat. He was wearing medieval clothes with long sleeves that covered his hands. He was walking towards this side in leather boots. The other party glanced at Conan, and Jiang Lai felt the little detective beside him stiffen slightly.
So he took an inconspicuous step forward to block the man's line of sight.
The man in the deerstalker hat turned his gaze to Jiang Lai again. His expression was gloomy, like some creature in a dark ditch.
Jiang Lai could faintly smell a hint of blood.
...Did this guy kill someone? Was Conan a witness? Did he see Conan too?
Since the detective did not report the other party immediately, either there was no evidence, or this person had some leverage over him.
Jiang Lai analyzed in his mind, and he gave the man a harmless, gentle smile, like an ordinary young man.
The man in the deerstalker hat also looked away and continued walking towards this side. Conan seemed not to want to cause trouble for Jiang Lai and planned to lead him away by himself, but Jiang Lai held Conan tightly with a smile on his face.
Jiang Lai was prepared for the other party to have weapons in his hands. He guessed in his heart that it was probably a dagger or something, and it might be another case of love and hate that happened on the ship.
The corridor was narrow, and the man in the deerstalker hat made a knocking sound with his leather boots on the ground. When he walked to Jiang Lai's side, he suddenly attacked with a strong wind in his right hand!
Fortunately, Jiang Lai was prepared! He nimbly dodged and dodged to the side with Conan in his arms.
At this time, he also saw clearly what the other party was holding in his hand - it seemed to be... a stun gun? ?
Jiang Lai quickly raised his guard. He didn't want to be hit by this thing.
Conan in his arms took a deep breath and warned in a low voice: "...There were two people just now, be careful."
The author has something to say: Jiang Lai: While increasing the credibility of the email account, I can also get some money from the FBI... hehehe.
