When Akai Shuichi used the original skin to simulate the expression and language of the cat skin, Yu Jiang felt that it was getting dark.
When Shuichi Akai's cold green eyes were enveloped in hot air, Yujiang felt like the sky was falling.
When Akai Shuichi gently asked them what other dishes they wanted to eat while holding the steaming meal, Ikujiang felt as if the earth had exploded.
"Akai Shuichi." He said sternly, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Anyway, I am injured now and I am still in your territory. I cannot pose a threat to you. You don't need to be so roundabout."
Akai Shuichi paused, and his eyelids shook slightly. When he opened them again, his eyes were as cold and rational as before: "I want to talk to you about what happened seventeen years ago."
Yu Jiang's breathing suddenly became heavy.
Seventeen years ago?
Why did Shuichi Akai suddenly mention this time?
Did he, did he guess something?
"Seventeen years ago..." Shuichi Akai started, but suddenly paused, as if hesitating where to start, "Seventeen years ago, there was a chess competition held in the United States. I have been
We are investigating the death of your adopted brother Haneda Koji, the genius shogi player who was said to be closest to the seven-time champion and died while competing."
Sera Masumi could see with the naked eye that Ikue's mood had become indifferent, as if something was broken. She immediately realized that something was wrong and was about to speak to stop Akai Shuichi.
Akai Shuichi's voice was louder than she could stop him: "I heard that he left the UMASACARA code on the mirror before he died. For so many years, no one has accurately deciphered the death code he left. This may be possible.
Directly pointing to the murderer..."
"Ha!" Yu Jiang taunted in a very soft voice, "So you FBI in the United States also have to use such unprofessional vocabulary as heard? I thought what happened back then and who the murderer was, you should know better than anyone else.
Much clearer.”
There is a broken Sera Masumi here. Her brother and Yu Xian, who is regarded as her brother, have some conflicts that she doesn’t know what is going on. The best thing to do now is to change the subject and spare no effort to stop them from continuing.
They are irritated with each other.
"Speaking of this chess competition," Sera Masumi hurriedly intervened between the two of them, with a smile on his face, "This year's competition is in Los Angeles, and it happens to be within the registration period, and the registration review is still open.
No experience in chess competition is required, do you think it’s a coincidence?”
Ikujiang retracted his glare at Akai Shuichi and snorted coldly.
Akai Shuichi was a little confused. He didn't know why Yujie was suddenly angry, nor why his sister suddenly mentioned the chess competition. However, he still lowered his head and smiled slightly, looking like he was in a good mood.
"In short, I think the chess competition is tailor-made for Brother Yuxian!" Shiliang Zhenzhun originally just wanted to change the topic, but as she talked, she felt more and more feasible, "Brother Yuxian, you should be able to play.
Chess, right?”
Yujiang: "Of course, that kind of childish thing knows everything at a glance at the rules."
"Wow, as expected of Brother Youxian."
Shuichi Akai: "Koji Haneda once had great hope of winning the championship, but it's a pity that something like that happened later. Since you have inherited his legacy and won seven championships, I wonder if you can win the crown again this time?
"
Shiliang Zhenjun: "..."
Please, Brother Xiu, stop saying a few words and no one will treat you as a mute!
There was a vaguely tense and bad atmosphere spreading between the two of them, and the air was filled with crackling sounds of electricity.
It is true that the International Chess Competition does not set strict conditions for the admission of players, but it has a rule that is more difficult than the admission conditions - because the competition is an invitation system. For the first competition, the International Chess Association sent invitation letters.
Every subsequent competition requires a letter of recommendation from a player who has participated in the competition before. Only those with a letter of recommendation are eligible to sign up. Of course, this means that as long as they can be recommended by previous players, even if they are from
Huangkou children who have never been exposed to chess can also become officially registered players and invite their kindergarten classmates to participate next year.
Although this kind of rule allows chess players to screen out contestants to a certain extent based on reputation, many problems have been exposed every time it is held. This is why there are rumors that this year may be the last chess competition.
"Where are we going to get the invitation?" After understanding the competition rules in detail, Masumi Sera finally realized that she had made a mistake. "The application deadline is coming soon. At this time, even if we go to buy, it will be difficult to get an invitation.
Letter?"
Akai Shuichi was using the kitchen supplies provided in the hotel suite to heat up the semi-finished pasta. Hearing this, he suddenly said: "Hasn't Haneda Koji been invited to participate? As his adoptive brother, if he participates in his name, he should be able to pass the qualification review, right?
"
Sera Masumi: "Hiss..."
Brother Xiu really doesn't know how to open the pot. Didn't you see that Brother Youxian's face is almost as dark as the Mariana Trench?
But this time, Yujie was not as angry as she guessed, but looked at Akai Shuichi very seriously.
"You seem to keep bringing the topic to Haneda Koji." Ikujiang said firmly, "You have known for a long time that you are here just for this game. You are..."
Akai Shuichi rolled his eyes happily, and his smile was gratifying and sincere: "Let's not talk about using it, right? Aren't you also investigating the Haneda Koji case? Lack of information exchange is a taboo in intelligence work, especially since I am still your line, so I understand the right situation.
Your work situation is as it should be."
Yu Jiang knew that this person who was always so rational and seemed to have no emotions, and could even take advantage of love and family ties, could not be so kind and come to care about whether they had eaten at night. Probably because he had never had any unrealistic feelings towards Akai Shuichi.
He felt very calm after hearing these words. He even felt that Akai Shuichi had not done enough.
He shouldn't have come in person. Anneset had just left Japan, and Shuichi Akai came right after him. It would be easy for someone to discover their connection, which would be detrimental to the FBI and Shuichi Akai's own goals. He should stay in Japan.
, use his manpower in the United States to remotely command him to investigate, and then rely on the FBI's natural advantages in the United States to intercept him before he investigates any unfavorable information for them, or physically erase his existence - of course in the end this
Ichijo Yue doesn't think the FBI can succeed, he just goes with the hypothesis.
In short, it was already the biggest mistake for Shuichi Akai to come to the United States in person.
"Then let's go together." So Yujiang acquiesced to Akai Shuichi's behavior very naturally and smoothly, "Or tell me, what do you want to do?"
