Saionji lowered his head and made a look like he didn't want to answer.

"If you don't say it, I can guess it. The driver snorted coldly, "I saw the license plate, and all the cars parked nearby were from the Ministry of Defense! You are either from the Ministry of Defense, or you are a fool who has offended the Ministry of Defense." ”

"My name is Kuniaki Saionji. Xiyuan Temple suddenly looked up and said, "Normally, my friends call me Courtney. ”

"Courtney?!" the driver shouted, "I ask you, what is your relationship with the Undersecretary?"

Xiyuan Temple smiled bitterly, "I said, this ......"

"My name is Eduardo. The driver replied.

"Well, Eduardo, although I am grateful to you for saving me, I still have to say that there are some things that you still don't know better, and I am doing it for your good. "Saionji is very weak, and he will pause slightly from time to time when he speaks.

Eduardo picked up the rubber gloves on the table and threw them into the trash. "I'm not interested in your, I just want to know if it's worth it, after all, I lost all my only car!" he said in the end, unconsciously accentuating.

Xiyuan Temple hesitated for a while, and finally spoke out of guilt, "Since you know the vice minister, then you probably know my relationship with him." ”

"I read the newspaper. Eduardo sneered and said, "Undersecretary Eagle Si Zongwu has an action team under his command, which is said to be very powerful. Squad Leader Courtney is a half-breed, and seems to be the nephew of Sotakeshi Hawk. ”

Xiyuan Temple let out a sigh, "Eduardo, don't ask any more questions, you know enough. ”

"So what?" said Eduardo as he walked to the sink and began to wash his hands, "you are going to kill me?" he said without looking back, "and you are in such a state that even if you pick up a knife, you will not be able to use it." ”

Xiyuan Temple looked up to the sky and sighed, "I am not a person who will take revenge. He said a little tiredly, "It's useless to tell you about my business." ”

Eduardo turned his head to look at him, "You think I can't help?"

Saionji closed his eyes, "Are you safe here?"

"It's an abandoned cemetery, and no one will come here to breathe except for wild dogs and crows. Also, my car is not from a taxi company, I bought it myself, and it has someone else's license plate. The gang of people chasing you shouldn't be able to find us, I know how to hide from the cameras on the road. Eduardo smiled slyly, then turned off the faucet and wiped his hands with a towel, "Don't worry, it's safe here." ”

Xiyuan Temple was silent for a few seconds, "Thank you again for saving me." ”

"If you have something to say, just say it. Eduardo laughed.

Xiyuan Temple was secretly amazed that this down-and-out white driver had such a keen sense of observation. "You'd better get out of here, I don't want to bother you. After Xiyuanji finished speaking, he took off the watch from his hand, "This is the only valuable thing on my body, although it is a little old, but it is Vacheron Constantin's, and it should be able to sell for some money." ”

Eduardo frowned, "Who do you think I'm for?" he said angrily, "I saved you because you were injured!

He strode out of the kitchen and slammed the door shut.

Saionji wanted to get off the platform, but as soon as he moved, the gunshot wound in his shoulder hurt his heart. He gasped and looked at the cold countertop, only to feel that he was not sitting or lying down.

Suddenly, the door opened again, and Eduardo rushed in like a gust of wind with a straight face. He didn't say a word, just reached out and helped Xiyuan Temple down from the platform, and then helped Xiyuan Temple to an old sofa in the next room. After Xiyuan Temple lay down, he conjured a thin blanket out of nowhere and threw it on Xiyuan Temple's body.

After doing all this, Eduardo slammed the door again in a huff and went out.

Saionji whispered into the darkness, "I'm sorry. ”

"That's not true, is it?" asked Eduardo. The next morning, while Saionji was sitting at the table eating the toast Eduardo had baked for him, Eduardo threw a newspaper in front of him.

Saionji saw his picture printed on the headlines at a glance, and he trembled and grabbed the newspaper and read it quickly.

"Damn!" he became angrier the more he looked at it, "It's all nonsense! Nonsense!

"But there are eyewitnesses. Eduardo dragged a chair and sat down beside him, "Someone saw you enter McCarthy's room minutes before he died." ”

"I was at home!" Xiyuanji picked up the toast and put it down heavily, he had no appetite anymore.

"Seriously, just reading what is written in this newspaper, I almost believe them. Eduardo picked up a bottle of milk and drank it.

Xiyuan Temple looked at him suspiciously, "You don't believe them, but believe me?"

"If you're really the nephew of Eagle Si Zongwu. Eduardo looked at the empty milk bottle and said thoughtfully, "It is rumored that Ying Si Zongwu is the leader of the 'pro-American faction', and you, as Ying Si Zongwu's henchman, must also be 'pro-American'." Of course, McCarthy is also 'pro-American', so why should people of the same faction kill each other? ”

Saionji smiled a complicated smile, "So they got a sum of money into my account." He leaned back in his chair slightly, "It's okay to tell you, last night, Ishibashi brought someone to arrest me." Of course, as you can imagine, the stone bridge used to be my ...... Colleague. He told me that after Mr. McCarthy was killed, a huge sum of money had been transferred to my account. It's funny that I didn't get a prompt on my phone, and I didn't even know I had so much money. ”

"Can you tell me how much?" asked Eduardo curiously.

"$9.6 million. Xiyuan Temple said, shaking his head, "This conspiracy must have been planned for a long time, and this money is not something that ordinary people can come up with." ”

"$9.6 million...... Eduardo's eyes widened, "that's ......" he calculated for a long time, "Tsk, more than 1.1 billion yen!"

Xiyuanji shrugged, "But it's not my money, someone deliberately planted it for me." ”

"I see. Eduardo suddenly slapped his face, startling Xiyuan Temple. "Somebody designed a play to make the outside world think that you killed McCarthy. They deliberately put a large sum of money into your account, and then they got a witness in disguise!"

"Eyewitnesses are not necessarily fake. Saionji picked up the toast again and took a big bite. "Ishibashi showed me the surveillance footage, and there was indeed a person who looked very similar to me who entered the hotel and left a dagger of mine at the scene. ”

Eduardo blinked his gray eyes, seemingly dazed.

"I think they might have found someone and had plastic surgery or makeup the way I did. Xiyuanji said while chewing on food, "It's not difficult to imitate my double-edged dagger, or maybe it was stolen by someone with a heart when I was out on duty." ”

"It's horrible!" said Eduardo at last, "you seem to have offended some great character. ”

"I know who did it. Xiyuanji's eyes flashed, "And I know why they came to me." ”

Eduardo waited patiently for a while, but Saionji didn't speak again, he just ate his breakfast methodically, as if he had made a great determination.

After breakfast, Xiyuanji tore a blank piece of paper from the newspaper, "Excuse me, give me a pen." When he got the pen, he wrote a few lines and folded the piece of paper.

"Can you do me a favor?" Xiyuan Temple said solemnly, "You can refuse, but if you agree, you must promise that you will never leak the news and will never betray me." ”

Eduardo took the piece of paper and, without saying a word, carefully put it into his coat pocket. "You've told me so many confidential things, and I'll tell you one too. ”

Saionji looked at him warily.

"My parents are Italian, but I was born and raised in Tokyo. Eduardo seemed a little sad, "Later, I went to study in the United States for a few years and had a girlfriend, but I failed her. So, I was punished, my wife was unfaithful to me, and my career plummeted. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm not interested in your 'pro-American' policy, and I don't have any clear political position. But I think maybe that's providence. God got you in my car and saved your life. "I sometimes think that if I hadn't left the United States, maybe my life would have been rewritten." ”

After the two were silent for a while, Xiyuan Temple said, "Last night, I got up and peeked at you. ”

Eduardo looked at the half-breed in surprise.

"You slept soundly, peacefully, like a child. At that time, I felt that you were someone you could trust. Xiyuan Temple said solemnly, "It is impossible for a person with a ghost in his heart to sleep so soundly." ”

Eduardo grinned, "You've got a lot of eyes." ”

"If you hadn't slept so soundly, you'd probably be dead by now. Saionji thought to himself. But what he said was, "Occupational disease, don't mind." ”

"So, where am I going to send this note?" Eduardo patted his pocket, "Shall I put on some makeup or something?"

"You go buy a wig and wear a mask. Xiyuan Temple said, "The address is written on a slip of paper, and you can write down how to do it, so you can do it." ”

"Then you wait at home for me to come back, don't run around. Eduardo said, "Also, if I have done this, can you help me say a few words to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare?"

Xiyuan Temple smiled slightly, "This matter is done, I can help you reopen a clinic." ”

"You wait!" Edward stood up in high spirits, his gray eyes sparkling with excitement, "I'll bring you back!"

However, when Eduardo returned, he looked dejected.

Xiyuan Temple knew that something was wrong, and he didn't be polite to him, so he asked, "You didn't find anyone?"

"Found it, but ......" Eduardo collapsed before he could finish speaking.

Saionji was shocked and hurriedly lifted his coat. I saw that Eduardo had a deep wound in his abdomen, as if he had been pierced by a sharp weapon.

Saionji helped Eduardo to the table, then carefully unbuttoned his shirt.

"Go over there, open the third cabinet, there are tools in it, bring them to me, I can get them myself. Eduardo's mouth was white from pain by this time, but he was still conscious, "It's not a gunshot wound, I can handle it." ”

"Do you sew it yourself?" Xionji was stunned.

"I'm a doctor, and I'm pretty skilled. Edward shivered in pain, "Hurry up." ”

When he finished stitching up the wound, Xiyuan Temple helped him tie a knot - Eduardo really didn't have the strength anymore, he was like a puddle of mud now.

After washing his hands, Saionji took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard, and he remembered where Eduardo had put his wine yesterday. "Drink a little, and I'll supervise you and won't let you drink more. ”

Eduardo smiled weakly, "Lord Saionji." He deliberately imitated the tone of Taiga drama and jokingly said, "You should have told me in advance how dangerous this mission is." ”

Xiyuan Temple said embarrassedly: "This task should not be dangerous, my uncle will understand my situation when he sees the note, and he will definitely help me!"

Eduardo wanted to laugh, but it hurt so much that he could only breathe in and let out two "hehe" sounds, "I followed what you said and went to Ichiya, Shinjuku Ward." But I didn't see Mr. Takaji, and the person who answered my phone called claimed to be Yoshio Naito. ”

"Ah, Naito, he's in the public relations class, and he has a good relationship with me, and then?" asked Saionji anxiously.

"And then?" Eduardo looked at the white walls, "and then Yoshio Naito came with a group of men to arrest me." He let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, I was on guard against him, and after a few words with him, he kept asking where you were, and I felt that something was wrong." Later, his cell phone rang and he said he wanted to answer the call and asked me to wait for him, and then I felt like a ghost, so I grabbed a car and ran away. ”

Xiyuan Temple looked at him in disbelief, "Then you hurt ......?"

"If it weren't for my own experience, I wouldn't believe that there are still people using shuriken!" a bitter smile appeared on Eduardo's face, "Am I living in the Edo period?"

"You pulled out the shuriken?" said Saionji in admiration, "You really have perseverance. ”

"Lord Saionji. Eduardo continued to say in a playful tone, "Is that really a shuriken?

"That's probably Hayakawa, he's a master of using hidden weapons. Xiyuan Temple's expression was gloomy, "He is also my subordinate." ”

"Oh. Eduardo sighed and said, "Your people don't believe you anymore." Now in this world, only I, a fool, think that you are not a murderer!"

"You're wrong, and there's one more person who will believe in me unconditionally. Saionji said, "My uncle." ”
