Brother 304 First Stop: Akai (2) Important Reminder
"I wanted a glass of warm milk, and that was what I wanted in the first place. β
Kurosawa put down the cup that was still stained with milk, his fingers lightly touched the glass wall, and the white liquid began to spread up from the bottom until it climbed to the edge of the cup, his fingers moved away, and after a few taps on the glass tabletop, his hand moved away, revealing the porcelain cup behind him.
"Please use it. β
Shuichi Akai narrowed his eyes slightly, took the teacup pushed by Kurosawa Gin, opened the lid, and the faint heat steamed. He took a sip and was surprised to see that it was the Pu'er tea that Kurosawa had mentioned not long ago.
"I think of a story where one man said it was cold and wanted to open the window to let in the air, and the others didn't agree, and when one person wanted to lift the roof because of it, and the others vehemently objected, he gave in and said that as long as the window was opened to let in the air, most people would agree. β
Kurosawa Silver picked up his milk and drank it slowly: "I can't find a justifiable reason to get milk, so I put forward outrageous conditions before this, you have already rejected me twice, and I will definitely try your best to meet my request for the third time." β
"If all you want is milk and sandwiches, I can just give you ......"
"Guess where I got this glass of milk in my hand?" Kurosawa interrupted Akai.
"You brought your own?"
"Yes, as if it were my own. Kurosawa shook his head, "So what did you lose? By the way, don't forget that I took the takeaway just now, and I paid for the money." β
β...... Nothing. Akai looked at Kurosawa Gin, "Except for the feeling of being fooled." β
βBingoγ Kurosawa raised his glass, "Yes, you just feel that you have been tricked by me, and you feel inexplicable, right? In addition to the mental loss, you even got a delicious cup of Pu'er tea." You don't disagree with me, do you?"
"No objection. β
"But, act......ually," Kurosawa Silver chuckled as he drank the milk, "this is the milk I originally wanted, but you didn't notice it had reached me for a while." β
Akai stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"Right?"
β...... The milk is still there. β
"But not the original. Kurosawa smiled, "You drink it, it should taste to your taste." β
Akai glanced at Kurosawa Silver and poured out all the milk: "What did you add to it?"
"China's law enforcement standard of sodium thiocyanate is not up to safety standards, you can rest assured, there is nothing wrong with drinking it. Kurosawa put the glass in the sink, "I'm very rough, and you can be rightly suspicious, but if these things come true, some things won't be so easy to guard against." β
"Like you've been replaced?" Akai asked rhetorically, as Kurosawa had just used milk as a metaphor for himself.
"Think so. β
"Is this what you deduced from them?"
"Of course not. If I even guess the modus operandi, I still don't have any clue who the real culprit is behind the scenes, can I come here and hang around?"
β...... Sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking. β
"You'll get it...... Don't forget what I said for at least two weeks. Kurosawa Silver put a finger against the tip of his nose and lips, narrowed his eyes and smiled mysteriously.
Akai stared at Kurosawa for a moment, didn't speak, and finally nodded.
The two of them returned to the couch, and everything was silent.
"Do you have any particular insights into what is in the news?"
Kurosawa didn't express any suspicion of Shuichi Akai, that kind of behavior was too stupid.
Yesterday, Shuichi Akai and Judy were obviously going to follow Belmode, who was pretending to be a new doctor. Since you are stalking, there is no need to deliberately involve yourself in the case. After the bus case ended, they should be busy with the police car blasting case, which really has nothing to do with the next Snow Mountain Villa case. Moreover, the FBI's style of action Kurosawa also knew that this operation was not in line with their principles at all, and he did not put his suspicion on their group from the beginning.
Akai made the same judgment as Kurosawa Gin made in the library not long ago, but did not continue, but instead asked Kurosawa about what it had to do with yesterday's police car explosion.
"I don't know very well, no one approached the police car at the time, and I don't know why they exploded all of a sudden. Kurosawa shook his head.
"......" Akai, "I've sent 0518 (Kurosawa Silver Crime Code) to prison twice, and I don't know much about his elusive criminal methods, so don't give me a gag." β
"You can't take the past and talk about it now. Kurosawa glanced at Akai, "And I've blown up buildings, and police cars have basically never been harmed by me." β
"Based on the past situation, there is a 99% chance that you will scold me when I mention this, and the remaining 1% will change the subject because you have a weak heart. β
Kurosawa Silver: "...... You really have the face to say it. He poured himself another glass of milk and took a sip: "Okay." I'll admit, I did. The technique is very simple, just make something small and throw it in while people are not paying attention, and if you explode in a chain, the method is also simple, either start while other people's attention is elsewhere, or lay a net outside long before the bus stops. β
"Purpose?"
"It's just a good time to comfort and comfort the stricken gangster lady. Kurosawa turned his face sideways.
"You've got a lot of stuff with you. I was prepared to do a big deal in Japan, but did I act on my own when I had the opportunity?" Akai directly filtered out Kurosawa's previous words.
"There's a reason for this: I want 0518 to appear in Japan. There were other reasons as well: I always felt that there was someone behind the bus besides the Japanese police. "I thought it was an acquaintance, and I thought it was more likely that he would show kindness to us, and he put a balloon over there to remind us that the woman blowing gum in the back seat was a spy." β
When Kurosawa Silver said this, Akai Shuichi did have an impression in his mind. He was sitting in the back seat, still by the window, and the balloon could be seen clearly, but he was sure to take the balloon that flew from nowhere as a coincidence.
...... Maybe it's just a coincidence, it's just that Kurosawa Silver has too much heart.
"Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong, I just can't say it. But because this so-and-so person showed good intentions even if he existed, I didn't pay much attention to him, and it was mainly because of myself that I played explosives. That's the reason I mentioned before. β
It's far-fetched to say, but it's easy to explain when you put it on Kurosawa Gin, and he probably is burying some foreshadowing.
The foreshadowing of the explosion, the metaphor of the tanuki changing the prince...... Akai hid his thoughtfulness, stared at Kurosawa Gin's face that seemed to be much younger, and said lightly: "If there really is a stalker, I suggest you prioritize the organization. β
"How?"
"Your organization has a high level of scientific research, if you use a machine to monitor it remotely......"
"Even you can't notice it quickly. β
"I'm less sensitive to animals. β
β......β
The two glanced at each other, and they both had a number in their hearts.
"If it's a case of deliberately targeting journalists, it's also likely that someone from the organization did it. Akai commented objectively, "Your time is running out, it's time to find a reasonable social death." β
