Act 118: An Invitation from New York, USA (1)
"Akai! Akai! ”
Shuichi Akai was half-asleep and half-awake, and he seemed to hear someone calling him, so he opened his eyes slightly. This kind of scene is a bit familiar to him, as if she was so attentive to herself in the days she spent with Akemi Miyano.
"Akemi?" He asked rhetorically, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
It turned out that what had happened before was a dream......
Just as he was silent in the dream he had fantasized, Gao Yue hurriedly pushed him and said, "I'm Gao Yue, Akai." ”
Huh?
Hearing this, he shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up.
The trance-like gaze slowly focused, and the multiple shadows of the person in front of him began to coincide continuously. After a few moments, the world in front of me finally became clear.
"It turned out to be Satsuki." He smiled wryly.
"What, do you think it's Akemi?" Gao Yue lowered her head and said something seemingly inadvertently.
Shuichi Akai didn't respond, just covered his head. "It's really troublesome, I have to work tomorrow and I have a hangover tonight."
Gao Yue glanced at him, not angry: "I don't know who doesn't listen to persuasion, I have to drink like this." I'm usually a top man, but I ran into it when I was the most unreliable. ”
As soon as Akai Shu heard this, he thought that the person she said was Amuro Toru.
After the previous incident of Zhu Fu Jingguang, Amuro Toru fell unconscious under the dangerous building, and it was Hoshino Satsuki who was responsible for sending him home at that time.
"yes. I almost forgot that you and I also have a lover in the organization. He quipped. But it's also ...... When you returned to the United States, you were cut off from all contact with the outside world. Even if that guy knew you weren't dead, he wouldn't be able to find you. He shouldn't have thought of anything, your identity is still the FBI. ”
Hearing this, Gao Yue's face turned red, and she hurriedly shouted, "What...... What? I don't have anything to do with Toru Amuro. You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. ”
"Really?" He picked the corners of his mouth lightly, and there was something meaningful.
"That's right!" Gao Yue hurriedly handed him the hangover soup on the table, pouted and said, "This is what I boiled, hurry up and drink it." Otherwise, I'll be scolded by James tomorrow. ”
Akai Shuichi took the bowl of soup in a daze, looked at Satsuki's arrogant expression, and suddenly remembered everything that happened before he got drunk.
Probably an occupational criminal, the whereabouts of the silver-haired man made him very concerned.
"By the way, did the silver-haired man find it?"
Gao Yue shook her head and said, "No, I think he should have fled a long time ago." I saw that you were very drunk, so I told the police that I would go in a few days."
"That's right......" he muttered, his expression darkened for a moment, and his brow furrowed.
In the early morning, it was drizzling outside the Maori Detective Office, and Kogoro's voice could be heard clearly through the glass.
"That's true Daddy." Mao Lilan wiped his saliva and complained, "That's how you won't have business." ”
Kogoro had a bowl tied to his head, and his dream words were slurred in his mouth: "Let...... Let's have another drink...... Hiccup......"
The huge smell of wine came from his mouth, making Xiaolan cover her nose busily. Seeing that he drank too much last night and didn't dare to go home for fear of being scolded by Xiaolan, he hid on the desk of the office and fell asleep by himself.
"Looks like I'm going to pick up today's newspaper again." She grumbled, put down the rag in her hand, opened the door softly, and walked down the stairs.
There is an iron box at the entrance of the office, and it has always been the newspaper delivery person who keeps it there. But this time, after Xiaolan took out the key to open the iron door, she didn't see the shadow of the newspaper, but a card-like envelope lying inside.
"What is this?" She hesitated for a moment, then took it out. After opening the envelope, read according to the text on it: "To Miss Maolilan...... I hope you will accept my invitation to come to New York with Shinichi, and I will be waiting for you at the airport over there. ”
In the end, Xiaolan followed the paper all the way to the end, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she saw the signature.
Yukiko Kudo!?
"Shinichi's mother?"
