The man in front of him had a thick, poorly groomed beard on his chin and was wearing a sloppy Hawaiian shirt and shorts. He was completely different from the sharp-bearded man Qin Zhibo saw in the photo.
When their eyes met, the man standing behind the counter reacted first.
"Qin!"
"You're back!"
The man walked out of the counter, opened his arms and gave Qin Zhibo a hug.
Qin Zhibo also hugged the other person and quietly touched the other person's skin with his fingers.
【Survey√】
[Name: Akai Muwu]
…
The result of the contact investigation is also Akai Mutake, so the person in front of me should be the real Akai Mutake.
It turns out that the person who keeps sending Hawaiian postcards to his office is Akai Mutake...
"I'll be back as soon as I receive your postcard..."
Qin Zhibo followed Akai Muwu's words and responded.
"Um……"
Akai Muwu's expression turned slightly heavy, but then he changed the subject and patted Qin Zhibo on the shoulder with a smile.
"You came here so late, are you already hungry?"
"I'll go to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles first, and let's chat while eating..."
Just like that, Akai Muwu turned around and went back behind the counter, when the sound of a stove fire came from inside.
Qin Zhibo took this time to observe the situation of the store in front of him.
This store has a strong sense of life, which means that Akai Mikaru must have been living here all these years.
Akai Muwu is a British man. He lives here, and it should be arranged by the original owner of the body.
As for the reason for this arrangement, it should be related to the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago.
Could it be that "you" were involved in the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago?
But I was still in college at that time, so I probably couldn't be of much help.
…
“Here comes the noodles~”
Akai Mutake brought a bowl of noodles with both hands and placed it on the round table by the window.
A bowl of ordinary clear soup noodles, with some chopped green onion and Naruto roll in the middle of the noodles, it is a bowl of noodles that is very common in Hawaii.
"Eat it while it's hot."
Akai Muwu brought another chair and sat on the opposite side.
Qin Zhibo looked at the noodles in front of him. Although it looked like a bowl of noodles that could be found everywhere, the fragrance that accompanied the heat made his empty stomach churn.
Qin Zhibo always felt a little strange eating in front of people he met for the first time.
Although in Akai Muwu's eyes, it was definitely not the first time they met, the two had long been close friends.
"By the way...Wu Wu, why did you ask me to come back?"
Qin Zhibo asked with the chopsticks in his hand hanging in the air.
"Um……"
Akai Muwu groaned, and after a few seconds he said solemnly.
"It's my memory that suddenly came back."
"Restore memory?"
Qin Zhibo looked stunned, why did he feel that similar issues had appeared on another person named "Akai"?"
But Akai Muwu ignored the surprise in the eyes of his friend in front of him and explained what happened.
"Seventeen years ago, I received a call from Yasuharu Haneda at my home in the UK and went to the United States to investigate the truth about the death of his son Koji Haneda."
"That night, I took a flight to the United States and arrived in New York the next day."
"The place where Koji Haneda was killed was the 'JUKE' hotel in New York. I also stayed in this hotel to facilitate subsequent investigations."
"However, after three days of investigation in the hotel and the neighborhoods near the hotel, I didn't find any useful clues."
"At that time, I only knew that the same people should have killed Haneda Koji and Amanda Hughes, and their methods were very professional."
"They first secretly eliminated Amanda's bodyguards, cut off the hotel's surveillance system, and booked many empty rooms on the floor in advance, leaving no clues about them at the scene."
"But on the seventh day of my investigation, the police announced the clues they had found."
"The autopsy results of Amanda and Koji Haneda showed that neither of them had any toxicological reactions in their bodies, but they were killed without any trauma."
"And after the case, a female bodyguard named 'Asaka' beside Amanda has been missing."
"Then I realized that this person was probably an important figure in revealing the truth of the case..."
Speaking of this, Akai Muwu's eyes changed slightly.
And Qin Zhibo now knows that "Asaka" is actually Amanda's adopted daughter and bodyguard, now under the pseudonym Rumi Wakasa.
"At Amanda's funeral, I saw Asaka secretly watching the funeral from a distance."
"I caught up with her, gained her trust, and learned from her what happened in the hotel."
"The first person to be killed in the hotel that day was Amanda, but before Amanda died, she sent Asaka away on the pretext of going to Haneda Koji's room to pick up the leftover items."
"When Asaka was going to Haneda Koji's room, a group of strange men in black just broke in and asked about Asaka's whereabouts."
"At that time, in order to protect her, Haneda Koji knocked her out with an electric shock baton and hid her behind a bookcase."
"When she regained consciousness, Haneda Koji was already dead, and when she saw a man with an Asian face in the room, she thought that man was the murderer."
"Although the man explained that he was not the murderer, Asaka still fought with him."
"However, Asaka was distracted for a moment because she saw the cell phone photo recording Amanda's death that fell out of the man's arms, and was knocked unconscious by the other party."
"Asaka was taken out of the hotel by the man, but she had a car accident when she left the hotel."
"She carried her injuries and got out of the car. Then, before the police arrived, she returned to the hotel and took photos of Haneda Koji at the scene..."
The "man" Akai Mutake mentioned was actually Kuroda Heibei in another version that Qin Zhibo heard.
He was ordered by the former Prime Minister of Japan to meet with Amanda from Nine Angels to discuss how to deal with the organization.
But from Asaka's perspective, Kuroda Bei doesn't seem to be a good person.
Akai Mutake continued: "Based on the photos of the scene taken by Asaka, I deduced the pre-death message left by Haneda Koji, pointing to the person 'Karasuma Renya'."
"This man is a very well-hidden tycoon in Japan. However, there are rumors from the outside that he was already a hundred years old more than 20 years ago and had passed away at that time."
"Of course I don't believe that Karasuma Renye herself killed Haneda Koji and Amanda, but it is entirely possible that someone related to Karasuma Renye committed the crime."
"After a joint investigation by Asaka and I, we finally found out that a ship docked in New York Harbor at the time belonged to the Karasuma Group."
Boat!
When he heard this word, Qin Zhibo's eyes changed instantly.
Akai Muwu also noticed this, looked at Qin Zhibo's face and asked: "What's wrong?"
After Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, he shook his head.
"It's nothing...just keep talking."
Akai Muwu frowned slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions and continued to tell.
"After locking the ship, I decided to sneak onto the ship alone to find out..."
"When I sneaked onto the ship, I discovered that the ship was disguised as a cargo ship on the outside, but was actually a secret laboratory inside."
"It seems that various extraordinary human enhancement experiments are being carried out on the ship. I used a miniature camera to take many photos of the ship as evidence."
"But just when I got the evidence and was about to leave, the ship's security communication said that an infiltrator had been discovered."
"And the infiltrator who was discovered was none other than Asaka."
"So I plan to help Asaka escape..."
"but……"
Having said this, Akai Muwu suddenly covered his forehead and his pupils widened.
The image of that scene flashed through his mind again.
At that time, Asaka faced the injured security personnel on the ship, and her figure became more and more staggering.
Just when she was at the end of her rope, Akai Mutake suddenly took action, defeated a group of ordinary security guards, and rescued Asaka.
But at this moment, some people wearing special black uniforms came running from the distant passage.
"Get back!"
"The monsters we are going to see next are not the opponents that a little girl of your age would risk her life against."
"Leave it to me just right..."
In the memory, Akai Mutake stood in front of Asaka, blocking her behind with one hand.
When Akai Mutake was collecting evidence on the ship, he had seen the powerful physical explosive power of these people, and their physical fitness was completely beyond the scope of ordinary humans.
Therefore, Akai Muwu called them "monsters".
Although Akai Muwu knew that he could not defeat these "monsters", he could still buy Asaka some time to escape and then retreat himself.
Just for that moment...
"It's Asaka..."
"She attacked me from behind..."
…
"Come down, Shiho."
"We're here..."
In a certain sea area, a black helicopter landed on the red apron of the ship deck.
Hui Yuan Ai stood at the edge of the airport, first looked around, and then jumped down holding on to the handle of the helicopter door.
But the jumping height was very unfriendly to primary school students and she almost fell.
"careful."
Rumi Wakasa on the side held onto Ai Haihara's arm and helped her up.
After Haibara Ai stood firm, Wakasa Rumi let go of her hand and said calmly to the two men in black who came to pick her up.
"I don't need you to lead me, I know where to go."
"yes."
The two men in black wearing sunglasses nodded respectfully and moved out of the way.
Hui Yuan Ai looked up at the two men in black. One of them had a square chin and looked similar to Vodka.
This is obviously a member of the organization...
What's strange is that since Haiyuan Ai got on this helicopter, the radar response to the members of the organization has weakened a lot.
"Shiho, come with me."
Rumi Wakasa called out to Haibara Ai, who was in a dazed state, and the latter moved to follow her.
The two walked through the deck and the passage to the lower cabin for nearly 20 minutes.
They didn't stop until they came to a white steel door.
Looking at the steel door in front of him, Hui Yuan Ai's eyes suddenly trembled, and memories of his death flooded into his heart.
This is the door to the tissue lab!
It was similar to the laboratory I had stayed in before, but obviously more advanced.
Because not only ID cards are used here, but face scanning is also used.
Rumi Wakasa pointed her face at the 3D camera on the door frame, and a colorful light curtain swept across her face.
After waiting for two seconds, the white steel door in front of me opened.
"Come in..."
Rumi Wakasa said hello, and Haibara Ai could only follow behind anxiously.
Behind the door is a huge experimental site.
However, almost all the lights in the experimental site were turned off at this time, and only the deepest part was still lit, so that the dim environment would not completely lose the light source.
And it seems that a lot of the experimental equipment here has just been cleaned up, and only some instruments and equipment can be seen inside.
Walking through a dark square, between light and darkness, a figure wearing a white coat sat at a computer desk, his hands operating the computer through the keyboard.
From Huihara Ai's perspective, he could only see the side and rear of the man.
But I don't know why, just seeing this person's back, Haiyuan Ai's pupils involuntarily dilated, and his heart started pounding.
She stopped three meters away from the man and stared at him blankly.
And the hands of the owner of the back figure who were operating the keyboard suddenly stopped.
"Finally here..."
A familiar voice came to his ears, and Haihara Ai's eyes subconsciously opened wider.
The person on the seat twisted his body, and the swivel chair turned towards Haiyuan Ai.
At this moment, Hui Yuan Ai completely saw the other party's appearance.
The woman has long pale blond hair, and her dark green eyes are covered with a thin layer of spectacle lenses.
She opened her arms, walked forward, knelt down and gently embraced Hui Yuan Ai into her arms.
"My Shiho, it's so good to see you safe and sound!"
Facing the woman's embrace, Hui Yuan Ai just stood stiffly on the spot, passively accepting it.
She had never thought before that a person's hug could be so cold.
It was even cold enough to make her legs tremble...
"What's wrong with you, Shiho?"
"I am your mother, Elena Miyano~"
The woman touched Hui Yuan Ai's face, but the temperature of her palm was a bit low, not even as good as the sea breeze blowing on the deck.
"You are just..."
"my mom?"
Hui Yuan Ai recited it silently in her heart many times before stiffly speaking those two words that contained infinite affection.
Although on the way here, she fantasized about meeting Elena Miyano countless times in her mind.
Either warm, or plain, or looking at each other with a smile, or not saying a word.
But she didn't expect that it would be so...cold.
"Yes, I am Elena Miyano."
"Although we have never met, I have been watching you silently over the years, Shiho..."
"I've been paying attention to you every step of the way as you grow."
The woman named "Miyano Elena" stroked Haihara Ai's fluffy tea hair again.
Although her movements were very gentle, Hui Yuan Ai could only feel a chill coming from the Tianling Cap.
Suddenly, her body subconsciously took half a step back.
