Two cars passed the intersection one after the other and turned left in front. As Shimizu Reiko slowly accelerated, the distance between the cars became closer and closer.
Midorikawa Saki took advantage of the traffic flow and pretended to be forced to slow down by the car in front twice, and fell behind again. She looked at the target vehicle returning to the front and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Her previous tracking and investigation techniques were not weak, but they mainly relied on methods such as "nightclub routine", "walking tracking", and "squatting somewhere in advance".
The reason is that all the money was used to pay off debts. I was poor and couldn't afford to buy a car. Even renting a car was a pain.
After joining the organization, her debts were slowly paid off, and she no longer wanted to be attached to the man who left her and ran away, so she changed her residence and bought a car.
Every time she drives, she will think of the time when she took a taxi to follow Chi Feichi and was discovered. She treats the "failure to follow the car" as a shortcoming and a stain.
She accepted it if it fell into the hands of Lark, but she would not be convinced if it fell into the hands of others.
…
Shimizu Reiko drove the car, and after confirming safety again and again, she drove to her temporary destination.
Midorikawa Saki went around to a nearby apartment building in advance and stood in front of the living room window on the second floor. Her sight passed through the branches and leaves of the two big trees in front of the apartment building window. She could see the independent building where Reiko Shimizu temporarily lived.
The entrance and yard of the small house can be clearly seen.
“Didi...”
The sound of car horns was heard at the street entrance.
Midorikawa Saki walked to the kitchen window next to her and looked out the window.
At the intersection, a girl wearing a junior high school uniform fell to the ground, her bicycle lying aside, holding her right leg with her hands, lowering her head, with red bangs covering most of her face.
Reiko Shimizu stopped the car, got out of the car and stepped forward to check the situation.
Midokawa Saki looked at the girl's short hair with side bangs dyed red, took out her mobile phone and made a call.
She remembered that when she went to No. 0331 for training, she saw a junior high school girl with short red hair. Her hairstyle, hair color, and school uniform style all matched.
…
The call was answered quickly, and Midorikawa Saki didn't waste any time. She got straight to the point, "Lark, I saw a junior high school girl with short red hair. I've seen her before at No. 0331. Is she from the organization?"
“My man,” the man on the other end of the phone said in a hoarse voice, “I asked her to contact the target and help her be on guard.”
"I see."
On the street downstairs, Reiko Shimizu was a little impatient, but she still walked forward, bent over and looked at the girl who fell to the ground, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
As soon as she turned around the street, she saw someone falling on the ground. She didn't hit him, but he blocked her way back.
"No, it's okay..." Ayaka Urano stretched out her hand to hold the bruise on her leg, raised her head and smiled reluctantly, as if she was enduring the pain, "I accidentally fell down while riding my bicycle. I'm sorry, sister, I blocked you.
The way to go."
Reiko Shimizu stretched out her hand, "Can you still stand up?"
Ayaka Urano stretched out her hand to hold Reiko Shimizu's hand, and stood up with a little help. She frowned and said, "It hurts a little bit, but it looks like it's just a scratch. I'll just rest on the side of the road."
Reiko Shimizu let go of her hand, maintaining the image of an introverted and gentle office girl, smiled quickly, and reminded with a serious look, "There is a small clinic next to the convenience store in front. You can go see a doctor."
Ayaka Urano smiled so hard that her eyes were crooked, "My sister is so beautiful and has a kind heart!"
"No..." Shimizu Reiko raised her hand and pushed up her glasses, pretending to be shy, and turned back to the car, "Then I'll leave first. If you can't find the way alone, you can contact your friend to pick you up.
you."
“Ah, sister, wait a minute!” Ayaka Urano jumped to the car window with one foot, reached out and handed a palm-sized candy box into the car, “Thank you, this is for you!”
"This...then I'll accept it." Shimizu Reiko hesitated for a moment, but pretended not to be good at dealing with people, took the candy box and put it on the passenger seat of the car, "Thank you."
The two of them parted at the intersection.
The female junior high school student who accidentally fell while riding her bicycle sat on the side of the road to rest for a while, then pushed her bicycle away.
The shy and kind woman drove into the yard, got out of the car with the candy box, opened the door and entered.
However, after the female junior high school student turned the corner on her bicycle, the harmless smile on her face disappeared a lot, and she twitched her nose to identify the smell she just smelled from the car.
After closing the door, the woman walked in, took off her wig and glasses and threw them on the sofa. She opened the candy box and looked at it. After confirming that there was no strange thing in the candy box, she threw the box into the trash next to the table.
Bucket, take out your cell phone and make a call.
“Are you guys here? I just got home...it’s okay, do you want dessert? Thank you!”
Two minutes later, two motorcycles stopped at the door. Two men carrying bags containing lunches, desserts, and drinks stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
After opening the door, Reiko Shimizu smiled, chatted and joked with the two of them, invited them in, and talked about business again while eating.
"...I called to confirm that the person who went to Miracle Land was indeed Detective Ryu from the Aidedo Detective Agency. He also went to the place where the robbery took place to investigate, but he returned to Tokyo soon. I
I don’t know what he wants to do…”
“Senior sister, who do you think would be looking for him? Could it be related to the disappearance of junior Ito?”
“So someone is eyeing the school girls and the others? Could it be Kaitou Kidd?”
“I don’t know, but I think it’s possible, and I’m a little worried.”
“Don’t worry, schoolgirl, Senior Shenshan has already planned to lure Kidd out...”
On the table next to the three people, a listening device was operating on the landline phone, transmitting the sound to the monitoring equipment in the nearby apartment building.
Midorikawa Saki sat in a dimly lit room with the curtains drawn, monitoring the conversation between the three of them and sharing the recording.
On a quiet street in the same area, Chi Feichi plugged an earphone into his right ear, listened to the conversation there, and paid attention to the figures reflected in the rearview mirror.
After seeing the car, Ayaka Urano parked her bicycle on the side of the road, walked up to the car, opened the door, and got into the passenger seat.
“Any clues?” Chi Feichi said in a hoarse voice and drove away from the roadside.
"She uses TT's highest-end shower gel and shampoo. She just took a shower today. The perfumes and cosmetics she uses are all big-name brands. The lipstick is a limited-edition purple-red color. I can't bear to buy it, even though this is what I saw.
"Yes, it's not the smell, but she was too careless. An introverted and conservative woman would not try such bold colors," Ayaka Uramio shared her results with a smile, "If you get close and smell it, except for cosmetics,
It smells like shower gel, and a little bit of coffee, but overall, she doesn't have a very special smell, but there is a bit of a special smell left in the car, like the smell of hospital disinfectant..."
Chi Feichi thought about the investigation and asked, "Where is the other information?"
The last time Shimizu Reiko went to the hospital was after she was investigated by the police and before she faked her death, she went to the hospital to see the unconscious Suehiko Ito. However, after she faked her death, the car and clothes she used in her previous identity could no longer be used.
, Soon Suehiko Ito disappeared from the hospital, and there was no reason to run to the hospital again. Why was there still the smell of hospital disinfectant in the car?
After Reiko Shimizu faked her death, she escaped from Midorikawa Saki's surveillance for two or three days. When did she go to the hospital? Was she planning to kill Ito Suehiko again, or...
“Mixed with the disinfectant, there was also a bit of an unpleasant chemical smell,” Ayaka Urano tried to recall what she smelled at that time, “It seemed to be insecticide, I’m not sure.”
"I'll take you to the hospital," Chi Feichi glanced at the scratches on Urami Ayaka's calf and said in a hoarse voice, "Go and clean the scratches, and by the way, ask if that hospital has recently disinfested the flower beds.
Exactly when."
More than ten minutes later, the car stopped near a hospital.
Ayaka Urano got off the car and entered the hospital alone. Half an hour later, she got on the car and began to report what she had learned.
"This hospital does have pest control, but it's not in the flower garden, but on the rooftop. They said that because there are patients in the hospital, they won't use pest control at the entrance and backyard. But more than ten days ago, there was usually no one.
There were small bugs breeding on the rooftop where we went, so they found someone to deal with it." Ayaka Urano turned to look at Chi Feichi, "The specific time was June 20th. I went to the rooftop stairs on June 21st.
, the door was locked, maybe it was too long, and I didn’t smell the insecticide outside the door. I’m not sure if it was the smell I smelled in that woman’s car.”
"That's enough," Chi Feichi looked forward with a dull gaze and a cold smile on his lips, "You rest first, I will contact you again if necessary."
June 20, the third day after Shimizu Reiko faked her death, and Ito Suehiko had already disappeared from the hospital for a day.
At this time, Reiko Shimizu ran to the hospital where Suehiko Ito was hospitalized, perhaps to confirm whether Suehiko Ito was really missing and where he had gone.
But in the information he received, it was confirmed more than once that Suehiko Ito's ward was on the 6th floor. So, why did Reiko Shimizu go to the rooftop? To observe from a high place?
If Suehiko Ito hadn't left for a long time at that time, then Reiko Shimizu would have gone to the rooftop to use a sniper rifle or telescope to look for Suehiko Ito. That would make sense. But one day after Suehiko Ito disappeared, Reiko Shimizu ran to the rooftop.
strangeness.
It seems that he needs to go to the rooftop of that hospital to have a look, maybe he will gain something unexpected.
Ayaka Urano turned her head and looked at the smile on a certain blonde's face, and was surprised, "So you can smile?"
Probably because it was so rare, she actually felt that if her eyes weren't a little colder and her smile wasn't too obvious, her face with freckles on her cheeks would look quite gentle with a smile, like a big boy not much older than her...
…
Chi Feichi stopped smiling and didn’t want to explain.
If he can't smile, it's because he has a problem with his facial muscles. He's very healthy.
“Lark, how old are you?” Ayaka Urano asked again curiously.
Chi Fei Chi chose to remain silent, Luck’s age was a secret.
"Can't you say this?" Ayaka Urano felt a little regretful, but suddenly felt a sense of expectation, "Hey, Luck, look at me..."
Chi Fei Chi looked sideways at Ura Sheng Aika.
Ayaka Urano showed a big smile, her eyes rolled up, and when she saw Chi Feichi, she looked back at the front and said seriously, "I think it's better to smile like this."
Chi Feichi: “……”
He couldn't accept this.
I remember the last time he laughed like this, Gin was so frightened that he quickly gave him a calming and sleeping pill.
