“Did Shuichi Akai see me just now?” Chu Ming asked in a low voice. Why did he start shooting right away? After all, he was still his girlfriend.
“Probably not. He could only see me from the alley where he came out. You were blocked by the car. Plus, you were far away, so you probably couldn’t hear any sound.” Vermouth looked at the approximate distance and inferred.
It’s good that he didn’t see it, then he still has room to play.
Chu Ming thought for a moment, tears welling up on his face, still hiding behind the car, and spoke before anyone saw him: “Your Majesty…”
Looking at the emotional value on the system panel, Chu Ming ignored Vermouth’s obstructive gaze, slowly stood up from behind the car, and chose to face Akai Shuichi’s gun.
The dim light of the street lamps shone on his face, and tears rolled down his face when he blinked. There seemed to be thousands of words in his eyes, but they eventually turned into a sad and mournful cry.
Akai Shuichi looked at the familiar face, tightened his grip on the gun, and said coldly: “You——”
Chu Ming interrupted him and re-telled the reason he had just given to Huihara Ai to Akai Shuichi. Tears hung on his long eyelashes like a broken pearl: “At first I thought that it would be a farewell forever, so I sent a message to the Lord. I thought that after the mission was over I could leave the organization with my sister, and from then on I could truly be with the Lord, but–“
Chu Ming sobbed softly, covered his voice, and said: “After all, things are no longer the same…”
Shuichi Akai’s intuition told him that this person couldn’t be Miyano Akemi, and it must be a means for the organization to deceive him.
However, when I heard her say that no one knew about this text message, the balance in my heart was slightly moved.
Although he remained alert and did not put down his gun, the murderous aura on his body had dissipated a lot: “Mingmei…”
“My Lord, I’m sorry that I haven’t told you formally… Let’s break up.” Chu Ming lowered his head, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes. Akai Shuichi couldn’t see her expression, but he could sense her sadness. “You have a girlfriend in the United States. You came to me in order to infiltrate the organization. You have forgotten the text message I sent you. I just – I just felt that I was destined to die, and I wanted to leave something for myself to think about before I die…”
Seeing that Akai Shuichi didn’t say anything, Chu Ming raised the corner of his mouth with difficulty, trying to draw a smile, but failed: “Sir, let’s stop here. I can’t leave the organization anymore, and you are destined to be the side of justice. Red and black are destined to be incompatible, and you and I can only be strangers. Sir, take your ex-girlfriend and leave, just as if you haven’t seen me today, just as if… Miyano Akemi is dead.”
Akai Shuichi was struck in the heart by the true feelings. His mind was in a mess and he had no time to distinguish the truth from the falsehood. He subconsciously took two steps towards where Chu Ming was: “Wait, Mingmei, I——”
He was waiting for this moment. The muzzle of the gun in Akai Shuichi’s hand was pointing downwards, and his finger had left the trigger. At this moment, his body was slightly leaning forward. Even if he reacted, he would definitely not be as fast as Chu Ming.
Chu Ming had planned it unintentionally. Half of his body had been hiding behind the car, with only the upper body communicating with Akai Shuichi. He seized the opportunity and decisively showed the pistol that had been hidden in his hand for a long time.
“Bang bang bang-“
The first shot knocked his weapon away, and when the second shot came, Shuichi Akai dodged with extremely quick reaction, so the bullet aimed at his heart only hit his shoulder, and the third shot just grazed his arm.
When he wanted to take action again, the man had already hidden behind a street lamp, using a lamppost to completely conceal his body in an extremely unscientific way.
Tsk, this wall-hanger Shuichi Akai couldn’t even be killed. Where is the promised hero’s tomb in Bijin-no-Miyazo?
Your girlfriend is right in front of you, and you obviously believe her, but you can still be distracted and vigilant?
Damn it, missed the opportunity, there won’t be such a good chance next time. After all, this kind of thing can only be done once, no one will believe them next time.
Chapter 417 Full Moon 7-????)?
Seeing that he couldn’t hit Akai Shuichi, Chu Ming retreated back behind the car dejectedly, but still raised his voice and taunted in Miyano Akemi’s voice: “Shuichi-chan, can you do it? Your ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend are here, why are you hiding behind the street light? Are you embarrassed?”
Vermouth watched the whole process, and the look in her eyes was particularly complicated. She remembered that when she taught Chu Ming, she only taught him how to disguise himself. How come Chu Ming’s acting skills have become so good now? For a moment, the emotion revealed in Chu Ming’s eyes made even her think that this was really Miyano Akemi.
It turns out that all the drama queens are born actors.
Shuichi Akai didn’t say anything, but the points refreshed on the Chu Ming system interface were his best answer.
Seeing Akai Shuichi pretending to be deep, Chu Ming continued to stimulate him: “Shuiyi, do you know? I checked. Before Miyano Elena got married, her name was Sera Elena. Does it sound familiar? She and your mother Sera Mary are sisters. You and Miyano Akemi are cousins. As far as I know, Washington, where you are, doesn’t seem to advocate marriage between close relatives~
Hiss——In this case, you should thank us instead. If we hadn’t killed Miyano Akemi, how would you face the Shura field between your ex-girlfriend and your current girlfriend? And when you broke up with your ex-girlfriend and were about to be with your current girlfriend, ah, they are brother and sister, wouldn’t that be even more miserable. Xiuyi, say thank you to Gin quickly. “
Chu Ming knows how to poke people’s hearts, and he always hits them accurately. Seeing the battle record constantly refreshing on the system panel, he decisively made the final move: “But maybe you also want to get rid of Miyano Akemi, the burden, right? After all, you didn’t even look back when you evacuated the organization. You knew that once you were exposed, Miyano Akemi, as your closest member and your stepping stone to enter the organization, would definitely be liquidated by the organization, but you still ran away alone~ After all, in the eyes of the FBI, being able to make sacrifices for you is a great honor, right~”
These words were actually spoken to Haibara Ai, in case she met the real Akai Shuichi and found out that he was not a member of the organization and then informed Conan later. It would be better to first make his impression of Haibara Ai infinitely negative.
As Chu Ming expected, from the emotional level feedback from Haibara Ai, it can be seen that she is very turbulent inside.
Chu Ming and Vermouth huddled behind the car, Conan and Judy fainted beside the wheel, not far away, Haibara Ai was still struggling to crawl out from under the unconscious Xiaolan, and Akai Shuichi was still hiding behind the street lamp, as quiet as if he had been shot to death. Only the constantly fluctuating data on Chu Ming’s system panel showed that he was still alive.
Seeing that Akai Shuichi refused to show up, he would definitely pursue if they retreated.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and the dock was silent.
Chu Ming looked at Judy who was lying on the ground, and suddenly smiled strangely. He turned around and whispered something to Vermouth. Vermouth looked at him with wide eyes in shock, but seeing that Chu Ming still looked determined, she thought for a while and agreed.
——????)?——
The silence lasted only for a while. Chu Ming squatted up slightly and still shouted towards the street lamp in Mingmei’s voice: “Xuyi… since none of us can do anything to each other, let’s stop here today. Your useless teammate’s hands and feet should be broken, so we don’t need him anymore and leave him to you. As for this little boy, I will take him away first. Don’t try to chase him, otherwise you will see the boy’s body and the related reports about the FBI’s indifference to law enforcement appearing on tomorrow’s headlines~”
Shuichi Akai hid behind a street light, and when he turned his head, he could vaguely see a person dressed as Miyano Akemi helping Vermouth and holding Conan hostage as they got into the car, blew a kiss in his direction, and then drove away.
Shuichi Akai did not chase after them. He had rushed here today after receiving the news and did not bring any weapons with him. Besides, the car had already gone far away, so he would not be able to catch up even if he chased it.
He looked at Judy, who was thrown on the ground with blood gushing out of her hands and feet, and her eyes were already a little blurry due to excessive blood loss. He quickly pulled a piece of cloth from his side and came over to bandage Judy.
“Are you OK?”
Judy’s lips were pale and her face was ashen. She let Akai Shuichi hold her hand and bandage it, trying to: “It’s okay, it’s just a minor injury, Shuichi, you——”
She seemed to want to ask something but didn’t. She just changed the subject and said, “The child was taken away by them. Xiuyi, do you want to notify the Japanese police to help us search?”
“No need, she shouldn’t do anything to that kid.” Akai Shuichi bandaged the wound and turned to check on Haibara Ai’s condition.
However, the moment he turned around, a gun suddenly appeared in Judy’s hand. She looked crazy and excited, and fired several shots at Akai Shuichi’s back.
As soon as Shuichi Akai turned around, he felt a chill. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and the radar in his head seemed to be buzzing.
Following his heart, he rolled sideways and tried to dodge, but unfortunately, although he was fast, the bullets were even faster. Several bullets hit his body, splattering blood.
Shuichi Akai groaned and realized that something was wrong with Judy. This disguise was simply impossible to guard against. He cursed inwardly, grabbed Haibara Ai and Xiaolan on the ground and prepared to hide in another car nearby to evacuate, but Chu Ming quickly chased after him and shot him in the arm while he was holding Haibara Ai.
Good guy, it’s fine to take Xiaolan away, but Haibara Ai can’t go with you. What if you can persuade Xiao Ai with your sweet talk?
At this time, Shuichi Akai had already stuffed Xiaolan into the car. After being shot, he still wanted to continue to take Haibara Ai away, but she broke free and even took a few steps back, her eyes full of determination.
This is a feud between her and the organization, and no one else should be involved. It would be fine if only this scumbag who betrayed his sister was present, but Xiaolan must not die here, absolutely not.
“Take her away, don’t worry about me.” Huiyuan Ai took several steps back, “Quick!”
Shuichi Akai looked at Chu Ming who was approaching, gritted his teeth, and finally gave up trying to pull Huihara Ai. He picked up Judy’s revolver that she had just picked up from the ground with his free hand, fired a few shots at Chu Ming to delay his steps, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
The originally bustling pier was instantly left with only Chu Ming in Judy’s skin and Huihara Ai who volunteered to die.
There is only one show left before we can call it a day. I have made a lot of money this time.
I really hope there will be more red and black battles like this.
Chapter 418: The Full Moon Ends – The Water is Too Deep
Chu Ming tore open Judy’s face, revealing her final appearance.
It was his first disguise at the winery, and it was also the face that Haibara Ai had seen before – Shotake Yusuke.
Chu Ming bent down and approached Huiyuan Ai, speaking softly: “I should have seen you several times before, but I never thought that you were the Shirley that the organization has been tracking.”
Huihara Ai stood there, already disregarding life and death, and with thorns all over her body: “Kill me if you want to, you talk too much nonsense.”
“I won’t kill you.” Chu Ming stood up straight, adding bricks and tiles to his red team identity, “I promised Chu Ming that I would let you go this time. Vermouth has been sent away by me. You can go. I won’t reveal your identity. Vermouth will probably not take the initiative to report it. But next time if someone else finds out your identity and the organization wants to encircle and suppress you again, I will not let you go.”
“Brother Chu Ming?” Huiyuan Ai’s eyes, which had been silent, suddenly fluctuated. She was a little anxious. Did Brother Chu Ming make a deal? “How is he now? Why did you use his face?”
“When we were both in the periphery, he saved me once. I have always been a person who distinguishes gratitude from resentment. After I was promoted and got a code name, I told him that I owed him one and he could ask for anything. He had always planned to fake his death and leave the organization, but he heard from me a few days ago that Vermouth and I were coming to encircle and suppress you, so he changed the conditions. Tsk, in general, I still made a profit. After all, it is much easier to let you go than to help him leave the organization.
As for using his face, we have worked together for so long and we get along well, so we are what you call friends. I just want to see what the righteous detective will do to Chu Ming if he knows that he is a member of the organization. Maybe I can make that guy wake up and sink into the darkness with me. I am a creature of darkness, so it is ridiculous to expect light.
But unfortunately, it seems that none of you were fooled, even though I acted so well.”
Huibara Ai stared at him intently: “You’re using his face to commit a crime and it’s going to bring him into trouble! What kind of friend is that!”
“Not friends…” Chu Ming stretched out his tone, not caring at all, “If not, then not. The organization doesn’t need such people anyway.”
Huiyuan bit her lower lip sadly, and she felt a little empathy for Chu Ming’s choice: “You cold-blooded people don’t understand at all. If you see the light, you will never want to return to the darkness.”
“The moment I start to enjoy the darkness, I will no longer look forward to the dawn.” Chu Ming sneered, turned and left, waving his hand at Huiyuan Ai with his back, “You naive little girl, I hope we won’t have the chance to see each other again.”
After showing off, he left quickly. He had to go to Vermouth and see how Vermouth released the Pacific Ocean for Conan.
——?(?>?<?)?——
Vermouth drove the car around and around until he reached the dense forest in the suburbs.
She ripped off the mask of Miyano Akemi on her face, threw it away with some disgust, and looked out the window. Just when they were evacuating, Granburch said that he wanted to disguise himself as Judy and give Akai Shuichi a “Girlfriend’s Backstab 2.0”, but she didn’t know if it was successful.
Just when she was feeling a little worried, her cell phone suddenly rang – it was her boss calling.
Vermouth took out her cell phone from her pocket and watched the phone buzzing non-stop without any number or notes displayed. Her eyes were a little depressed. She watched the phone ring a few times without any intention of answering it.
After a few rings, the caller seemed to realize something and sent a text message instead.
Vermouth looked at the content of the text message, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she moved her fingertips lightly and replied with an ‘OK’ text message.
She turned her head to look at Conan who was fast asleep in the passenger seat. The gloom in her eyes faded a little. She reached out and touched Conan’s head. She didn’t know what to do with Conan. She couldn’t just leave him in the forest, right?
And it is difficult to explain to Granburch. He dealt with Shirley at the dock, and when he returned to his identity as Chu Ming, he found that Conan was still alive. He would definitely report it to the organization.
But if Conan is reminded that Chu Ming is Granburch… No, once reminded, there will be no way for these two people to turn around.
Suddenly, Vermouth’s eyes focused, she took out the small knife beside her, grabbed Conan’s collar, and carefully cut Conan’s clothes with the blade facing outwards.
“In the dead of night, deep in the mountains and old forests, a woman actually took a knife and ripped off the clothes of a seven-year-old boy. Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature… Tsk tsk, the world is really going downhill and people’s hearts are no longer the same as before.”
Vermouth drove away, and the route to here was quite far with many twists and turns, but there was no one around, so Chu Ming took off directly. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so he arrived quickly by flying in a straight line. When he arrived, he saw through the broken car window that Vermouth had already removed Miyano Akemi’s face, and was now cutting Conan’s clothes with a dagger. He couldn’t help but make a teasing sound.
Vermouth had no time to pay attention to Chu Ming. She looked at the electrodes, recording device and transmitter on Conan’s body with a serious expression and reached out to pull them out.
Conan, who had been pretending to sleep for a while, stopped her. “I advise you not to do this, because once you unplug it, the signal from my heart will stop, and my companions will find out the location of the receiver based on the text message you just sent. At that time, all the information about your boss, including his name and address, will be found out, even if you kill me.”
Conan’s eyes are sparkling, and his whole body is full of the light of justice. In this red-black confrontation, Conan really risks his life to block the intelligence.
Even if he is killed by the organization, the message must be passed on.
“What do you want to choose? My friend is still waiting for your answer somewhere around here, but you still have a second choice, which is to take me to see your boss so that we can get to know each other better, Vermouth.”
“It’s useless.” Chu Ming opened the car door on Conan’s side and shook the black router-sized box in his hand in front of Conan. “Look, the signal jammer can completely prevent you from spreading the message. In addition, you said your friend is nearby. Don’t be afraid. The organization’s large force will arrive soon. When the time comes, they will conduct a carpet search in the forest and you will be reunited soon. Or–“
Chu Ming smiled maliciously and pulled off the power cord on Conan: “Or we can use your safety to force your friend to come out. Do you think he will come out?”
!!!
The confident look on Conan’s face finally cracked.
Looking at the wonderful expression on Conan’s face, Chu Ming was satisfied. He took out the ether spray in his hand, sprayed it on Conan’s face, and made him fall asleep again.
Little detective, this organization is very treacherous and you can’t grasp it, so you’d better be honest and keep a low profile!
