When Jiang Lai saw Akai Shuichi, his first reaction was to hug Kurosawa Akira in his arms.

——I don’t know if Malbec is around, but it’s better not to let him see Kurosawa Akira.

Jiang Lai thought in his heart.

Shuichi Akai took a step forward, his hair fluttering slightly with his pace and the evening breeze. He had an indifferent expression and put his left hand back in his pocket. Because the hull was tilted, Shuichi Akai, who was walking from the higher side, felt a sense of pressure from above.

The withered yellow-haired man stared at the other person with tense muscles.

Jiang Lai next to him: You guys fight, I'll retreat first. :-D

He stood up holding Kurosawa Akira and quickly glanced around.

Akai Shuichi glanced at him, and didn't seem to care what to say in front of him, and said directly: "Hand over the things."

The dry blond man tensed up for a moment, then raised his lips again: "Hmph, if I hand it over to you, I'll be dead anyway. I don't believe in such nonsense as 'hand it over and I'll let it go'."

"But it's not over yet!" He raised his hands, suddenly climbed over the guardrail and jumped down!

Jiang Lai was a little surprised.

——Jumping from such a height is very dangerous!

"!" Akai Hide's eyes were sharp. He took a big step forward, with the gun in his left hand already taken out.

Below is the sinking side of the cruise ship. As the hull sinks, there is a huge suction force on the edge. It is a very dangerous side of the sea! However, such a dangerous environment also provides a certain protection for the withered blond man. Under the cover of the overturned hull, Akai Shuichi from the deck cannot shoot at the opponent.

This was the escape route that the dry blond man had thought of long ago!

So Akai Hideichi took a quick look and put away the gun in his hand. But his expression was not surprised at all, as if he had already predicted the other party's move.

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly in his heart.

Could it be that Malbec, who was not at the scene at the time, was in the sea, or was waiting by the window of the submerged ship, waiting to jump in? But this was too dangerous, and there was a high possibility that he would also be drowned in the sea.

Is Malbec's water quality very good...? It's different from that of ordinary people.

Jiang Lai was thinking in his mind, but on the surface he still looked shocked and calm, and said in a low voice: "That... I won't tell you."

"..." Akai Shuichi himself had no intention of making things difficult for Jiang Lai. He just glanced at him and said calmly, "Next time, don't let the person next to me today, and the other companions who appeared, see Kurosawa Akira."

In Shuichi Akai's mind, Jiang Lai is a young man who has some superficial contact with the gray industry, but in essence he is still an ordinary person who does not know the depths of the darkness.

Akai doesn't know the true situation that Kurosawa Akira can freely choose his personality, so he is still a little concerned in his heart. He is worried that when the members of Zhixiao Gin's organization see him, something uncontrollable will happen.

Shuichi Akai is in a state where he cannot leave Kurosawa Akira, and for the sake of his memory he must complete this collaboration, so he gives him a half-implicit reminder.

Although it is impossible to avoid all members of the organization 100%, it is possible to avoid them a few times.

Akai Shuichi took a deep breath in his heart.

The current situation... As expected, we still need to reach a certain level of cooperation with the hidden boss. Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes. The current entanglement of power on the scene is too complicated and chaotic.

Oh? Is it a reminder? Jiang Lai thought to himself. He showed a little confusion on the surface, and nodded quickly: "Oh, I know, Mr. Zhu Xing."

Akai Shuichi remained calm. Before he left, he added, "...Silver hair is very eye-catching. If it was black, it would be more similar to other children in the school."

The other person said something that sounded a bit incongruous, like words of love for children (?).

But Jiang Lai could certainly understand what he meant, and he also knew that there was an 80% chance that the other party was talking to the gray-eyed Kurosawa Akira, asking him to pay attention!

Jiang Lai: “…” Actually, I once wanted to change Kurosawa Akira’s hairstyle and hair color, but I would always restore it scientifically to its original appearance.

According to the laws of the scientific world, hairstyle and hair color are important bases for identifying a character, and usually they will not change (so Ai's hairstyle and hair color did not change when she changed from big to small).

If the change is successful, it will either lead to a blockbuster theatrical version or special episode (like Sonoko and Takagi), or a new chapter or a new series (like Akai Shuichi)!

Jiang Lai: ...In a sense, it is also an omen.

If he sees a familiar character with a different appearance someday, he will definitely be on guard to prepare for the big event that is about to happen! _(:з)∠)_

Jiang Lai raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

But when I think about it this way, it seems that there is another benefit of overthrowing the winery... I want everyone to be able to use their original appearance openly, instead of changing or hiding themselves in order to avoid the bite of darkness, whether it is Morobushi Kagemitsu, Haibara Ai, Conan or Kurosawa Akira.

Although Jiang Lai will be wary of the people around him and will pick up and shield Kurosawa Akira when necessary, he will not restrict Kurosawa Akira's social life and will often take him out to play.

——He didn't want to kill a child's nature and childhood just because he looked like Gin. He hoped that Kurosawa Akira could grow up happily, travel to every place he wanted to go, become the person he wanted to be, and realize his life dream without being restricted by his appearance and where he came from.

Jiang Lai blinked slightly, put Kurosawa Akira in his arms on the ground, and held his hand.

Jiang Lai held Kurosawa Akira and quickly headed to the emergency assembly area. This time, he paid special attention to holding on to the railings and corners of fixed objects around him to prevent them from being thrown out by another violent shake.

A childish voice came from below: "Brother Jiang Lai, do you want me to change my hair color? What color do you like?"

"Xiao Zhao is Xiao Zhao no matter what, I like her anyway." Jiang Lai responded with a smile, "It depends on your thoughts. After all, this is your own business."

"Hmm... I want to know which one will make Brother Jiang Lai happier."

Jiang Lai tilted his head slightly, his warm brown eyes still bright in the night: "What's more important is to make yourself happy, Xiao Zhao. This is your body and your life."

"...I understand." The silver-haired boy blinked and held Jiang Lai's hand tightly. "Then, Jiang Lai, remember this, this is your body and your life. Please take care of yourself more."

"Hey? Why did Xiao Zhao say something similar to Jing Guang? Of course I care about myself." Jiang Lai laughed, "But I am very touched that you can care about your brother in return."

"…Because brother Jiang Lai is a big idiot." Kurosawa Akira said in a long, muffled voice.

"Oh wow, I'm sad, so sad." Jiang Lai said half-jokingly, but he felt very relieved in his heart - Hui Zhao had become much more cheerful now.

As a luxury cruise ship, emergency rescue equipment is regularly inspected and spare supplies are kept. Therefore, there are sufficient lifeboats and life rafts, life jackets and emergency kits on site. Following the staff's command, everyone evacuated the dangerous ship smoothly.

Fortunately, there were no big waves here, and there happened to be another cruise ship not far away. After receiving the distress signal, the cruise ship rushed here to participate in the rescue as soon as possible.

Apart from the death of the man who was murdered on the cruise ship and the disappearance of the withered blond man, there were no other casualties or missing persons. The accomplice of the murderer, the man in the deerstalker hat, was also arrested by the police.

Jiang Lai said: Huh? So Akai Shuichi and Malbek quickly dealt with each other, and then got on the life raft and evacuated with everyone?

It's really a pleasure to walk the common path with everyone!

The organization in his mind is a high-tech submarine (?)

But this seems understandable. If I evacuate with everyone else, I won't stand out. I can hide in the crowd naturally, and I won't have to worry about clearing my identity later. Jiang Lai thought. The organization has always been a shadow lurking in the dark, very low-key.

——Except for some theater versions where the director needs to ask an organization to use a helicopter to shoot large buildings for the sake of grand scenes (bushi)

After the rescue, everyone went to the hospital for a simple checkup and was allowed to go home. The next day was Sunday, so they could rest at home.

I wonder what happened to the yellow-haired man... Was he killed by Malbek who was prepared? Jiang Lai thought. However, they couldn't find the chip anyway.

Because it was no longer in the yellow-haired man's possession. Jiang Lai raised the corners of his lips and looked down at the black chip on the table.

Hmm... I have to try to read some data. Jiang Lai was a little nervous and expectant. He didn't know what was inside.

Before he could do that, however, he caught a glimpse of the incoming message on his cell phone, which was lying beside him.

Jiang Lai thought for a moment and decided to reply to the message first and then concentrate on processing the data reading later.

He turned on his cell phone.

[According to the deal, please give me your boss's email address. - Lei]

Here he comes! The famous FBI ace comes to ask for Yangmaojun's mailbox! (Pull open the big net.jpg)

Thinking of the money he had just received from the FBI and the bright future of having Akai as his trump card, Jiang Lai couldn't help but smile.

He really wanted to give the other party his email address right away, but in order to be consistent with Yangmaojun’s personality, he replied first:

[#羊毛君#: Meh, the FBI is so stingy... only gave 9.99 million US dollars (小鶿羊枯枯.jpg)]

Akai Shuichi: Is this not enough?

[#Lei#: ...The deal has been completed, do you want to go back on your word? ]

[#羊毛君#: Meow, I am of course a good business with good business ethics. I am just complaining, I am in a very bad mood...]

Akai Shuichi: ...Do you want me to start a chat service (bushi)

[#羊毛君#: No matter how bad your mood is, you still have to work... Come on, go through the process and pay the fee! For only $5,000, you can enjoy the full and thoughtful high-quality service of providing an email box~]

Akai Shuichi:?!

Jiang Lai originally wanted to ask for 10,000, but when he thought about how Akai Shuichi had helped him on the ship, he couldn't bear it (?), so he quietly cut it in half... and only said 5,000.

——But for Yangmaojun, this price is really very cheap!!

Shuichi Akai: Can we have someone else come to the headquarters to communicate next time...! :-D

FBI Headquarters: No, Agent Akai, we have specifically assigned you to the investigation! You are the Chosen One!

The author has something to say: Jiang Lai: Don’t block me on QQ, I will give you a bonus in the future, seriously.
