The white snowflakes slowly fell, and Ritsu Sasashima spread out his palm and tried to grasp it, but found that the snowflakes that touched the temperature of his palm melted instantly.

"I'm already sure Rye is my brother."

After digesting this information, his eyes fell on the sky in the distance and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" Do you recognize him? ”

"I don't think it's appropriate."

Even if he knew that Ley was his brother, Ritsu Sasashima didn't dare to say it. His identity is a fake identity created by the National Police Agency, and if he has a showdown with Ley, it is easy to discover the flaws in his identity.

The most important thing is - he doesn't know what kind of mentality Rye has in order to enter the organization, if he is bent on standing on the opposite side of himself, he will one day send him to prison with his own hands.

In the face of the public interest, he doesn't mind the righteous annihilation. Besides, he is a police officer, so he naturally wants to arrest criminals and put them in prison.

Zero said that he could understand, and instead of answering, he touched it with a beer and smiled, "Let it be,"

"Well, with an identity like ours, we can't do this kind of adventure without knowing the end without being absolutely sure." Ritsu Sasashima took a sip of beer, picked up the salt-grilled chicken skewers sold at the convenience store, looked at Zero and said, "When this mission is over, help me make fish and chips." ”

"Why do you love that kind of nutritious fast food so much?" Falling Gu Ling said helplessly, this kind of simple fast food can't play his real cooking skills at all.

"Junk food tends to be popular among young people." Ritsu Sasashima moved a step to the side with a pretended regretful expression, and said, "Hey, it seems that Bourbon, you have entered the middle-aged stage ahead of schedule. ”

"Stinky boy, if you mention your age, you're going to be beaten!" Falling Gu Zero raised his fist and scolded with a smile.

"Give me my phone first."

"Ahem, can't you stop mentioning the phone?"

Since he joined the organization, he has divided the money into two parts, one part of daily life and car maintenance, and the other part is all anonymously sent to the orphanage where he stayed for a long time when he was a child, so he really has no money.

"I know you've been funding orphanages, and you can tell me if you're short of money." Ritsu Sasashima patted his pants pocket proudly, indicating that he had a lot of money.

Noticing that Ritsu Sasashima's nose was a little red from the cold, he looked at his thin outfit and said, "Go back to the car, you can see the sunrise in the parking lot." ”

"Okay."

As soon as the words fell, a mechanical and electronic sound came from the headset, it was Curacao's voice.

"Macallan, can you hear me?"

Ritsu Sasashima gave Shibuya a look to him to be quiet, he raised his hand and turned on the microphone and said, "Can you hear me, do you have any instructions?" ”

"Now go to the abandoned warehouse at the fourth pier in the port area, I'll be waiting for you there, it's fast, you have to go alone."

"Roger, I'll be right over."

Ritsu Sasashima turned off the microphone, stuffed the beer in his hand into Zero's hand and said, "I'll ask you to throw this for me, the task is coming." ”

"Why don't you go back to the car and I'll take you there?"

"No, Curacao said he wanted me to go with him, and it wouldn't be nice if he saw you."

"Okay, be careful, then."

Zero put the garbage into the plastic bag prepared in advance, and he looked up at Ritsu Sasashima, who was running west, and didn't know why... There was an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart, just like the mobile phone that fell into Tokyo Bay, was it a sign that something was happening?

He hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to keep up with Ritsu Sasashima, as long as he kept a safe tracking distance, he should not be detected.

.

In the abandoned warehouse of the fourth pier in the port area, Akai Shuichi leaned against the load-bearing pillar, his eyes drifted out, and he couldn't help but frown when he noticed the snowflakes falling slowly in the sky.

Is it snowing again? Every time it snows, there is a harsh sound in my ears.

He clasped his hands over his chest and closed his eyes, thinking of his showdown with Akemi Miyano yesterday evening.

Next to the fountain in the park, Akemi Miyano, who had just finished working at the bank, turned her head in surprise when she heard what Zhu Xingda said, and asked, "FBI?" Ah, are you? ”

Shuichi Akai withdrew his gaze from the fountain, looked at Akemi Miyano seriously and seriously, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I'm going to finish it tomorrow." ”

After all, he had a heart for her, and told her the day before the mission, hoping that she would accept the FBI's witness protection program.

Akemi Miyano tried to pull the corners of her mouth and raise the arc to make herself look not sad, but the brow that formed the figure eight had betrayed her heart.

"What a fool to lie..."

She turned her back, not wanting to be an obstacle to him, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "If you want to lie... Be smart, it's not scary at all. ”

After three years of getting along, how could Shuichi Akai not know the character of Akemi Miyano. A hint of irritability rose in his heart, and again, he didn't want to let himself see it every time he cried.

He stepped forward with a calm face and grabbed her shoulder, one of the few physical contacts he had taken the initiative. Usually when she goes shopping with her, she is still in the apartment, she takes the initiative to hold her arms and put her little head in her arms, or gently dry her long hair after washing her hair.

She is always so gentle, never suspicious of herself, forever - too much of this relationship is her accommodation and understanding.

Akai Xiu's eyes were filled with bitterness, whether the plan was successful or the plan failed, it seemed that she couldn't understand her feelings for herself anymore.

It turns out that he will also feel reluctant?

"Did you already know?"

When I said this, I was calmer than I thought.

He reached out and touched her carotid artery, felt her pulse beat, and repeated, "Did you already know that I was an undercover agent for some agency?" ”

“… I don't know. ”

Seeing that Akemi Miyano wanted to escape from his gaze again, Shuichi Akai forcibly made her look directly into his gaze, and her expression was not as calm as just now, which was a rare panic for him.

"You know everything, so why don't you stay away from me? I've been using you all along! ”

"Do you have to say it?"

As long as you don't say it, as long as you continue to pretend to be stupid and don't know what to do, you're not an FBI investigator, you're not an undercover agent of the organization, you're not using-

You're my boyfriend, my Da.

If you don't say it, I don't know, isn't it good for me to continue to be trapped in this false and gentle country?

“……”

Shuichi Akai, who was leaning on the load-bearing pillar, suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve his boredom, and he looked down at the time displayed on his watch, which was less than three minutes away from the time agreed with Gin.

Thinking of Akemi Miyano, who rejected the witness protection plan yesterday, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It is precisely because it is her that she refuses.

Because she couldn't leave her sister alone and leave alone.

Not like yourself...

In order to achieve one's own goals, one can hate one's heart and leave everything behind.

After all, they are people who are walking on different paths, and they can't force her to be the same as themselves, can they?

Finally, there was a "click" sound in the quiet warehouse, and he opened his eyes and stood up straight.

Did he come to the prey he was trying to get?
