Chapter 800 Akai Wuwu

"Hello? Jing, what's wrong?"

Late at night, in a small restaurant on the roadside that could serve drinks, Bai Heqing put down his chopsticks and answered the phone.

"Father, a package has just been sent to our house, saying it is for you." Bai Hejing said on the phone.

"Where did it come from?" Bai Heqing asked.

He was eating ramen tonight, and at the table opposite him, there was also a man eating ramen with his head down.

The man is wearing a coat and a peaked cap, and his hair is slightly long. Although he is a bit slovenly, he can still tell that he would be a handsome guy if he is well groomed.

"Institute, but the sender is not Aunt Miyano."

"I understand, keep it for now and look at it when I come back."

At the counter of this small restaurant, there is a waitress wiping the red wine bottles on the cabinet.

The waitress was very beautiful, with blonde hair. She was obviously Sharon.

Because of Rum's unintended actions, she was called here even though she had not originally planned to come to the United States.

"Well, I see."

[Is it something sent from the research institute... Let’s talk about it when we get back. 】

Bai Heqing put down the phone and didn't think about it any more. Instead, he took his bowl of ramen, stood up and sat down opposite the man at the table in front of him.

"Hello, sir." Bai Heqing took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, what's the matter with me?" The man heard the voice and looked up at Bai Heqing.

"Don't be nervous. I just noticed that Mr. You will come to my shop for late night snacks these two nights, so I want to conduct a simple customer survey. Is that okay?" Bai Heqing replied with a smile.

The store had been purchased by him before and is now an asset of the organization.

"Ah, no problem, just say it." The man seemed to be easy to talk to and nodded.

"First of all, can you tell me your name?"

"Akai Muwu."

"What a nice name. I see, sir, that you ordered this kind of ramen two nights in a row. I want to know, sir, what do you think of its taste?"

"It's very good. The chef in your store must have actually lived in Japan. The taste is very authentic."

"Thank you for the compliment. Sir, do you live in the United States?"

"Oh, no, I just happened to be here on a business trip these days..."

"I see. I see that you are quite young, sir. You should be married, right?"

"Well, it's been years."

"Haha, sir, you deliberately came to the United States. Could it be that you were using the excuse of a business trip to hide from your wife?"

"The store manager was joking. My wife and I have always had a harmonious relationship. I was really just here on a business trip."

"This is just a malicious guess on my part...last question, sir, can you tell me who you are working for?"

Bai Heqing asked suddenly. At this moment, Akai Muwu's hand that was originally moving the chopsticks suddenly stopped.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Bai Heqing, who was smiling in front of him, and asked:

"Store manager, is this question also included in the customer survey?"

"Of course, after all, this is our boss's request. As a small store manager, I can't help it..." Bai Heqing sighed helplessly.

"Your boss is..."

"Rum."

Bai Heqing said a name that made Akai Muwu's heart sink.

The identity of the two people in the store is obvious when you can tell them this name.

"When did you target me?"

"Since you appeared near this building two days ago, although sir, you have deliberately concealed your identity, the distinctive energy in your body is really hard to hide. I can tell just by looking at you, sir, that you are by no means an ordinary person. .”

"Is this your trap?" Akai Muwu continued to ask. He was originally asked by a friend to come over to investigate the truth behind Haneda Koji's death. As a result, after checking, he found that the water inside was getting deeper and deeper. After many detours, he finally chased him all the way here.

"That's right." Bai Heqing nodded with a smile.

"You also killed Haneda Koji?"

"Sir, what you said is wrong. We had no intention of killing the famous shogi player. He was seeking death on his own and insisted on getting involved in our affairs, which is why he ended up like this."

"What do you mean?"

"Sir, you haven't answered my question yet. Who are you working for?" Bai Heqing asked.

"MI6."

"MI6? To me, this is indeed a somewhat familiar name..."

"Bah!"

Behind the counter next to her, Sharon put the wine bottle in her hand heavily back on the cabinet, making a deliberately loud noise.

"Sorry, my wife seems a little angry, please don't pay attention."

"Tell me, how did Haneda Koji die?" Akai Muwu continued to ask.

"Sir, why are you doing this?"

Seeing that he persisted in this point, Bai Heqing was not angry at all. He just shook his head slightly and sighed slightly.

"You said that you obviously have a wife and children, but you don't spend time with your family at home, so you have to come to the United States to investigate these messy things.

These days, I'm almost exhausted from just dealing with you little mice with a keen sense of smell... Sir, how about this, let's each take a step back, I'll let you go once, and you'll be done with it, go home and spend time with yourself. Family, how about you stop getting involved in these things? "

Bai Heqing felt that his proposal was quite good.

After all, is there anything in this world that is more important than your family?

But unfortunately, the man in front of him named Akai Muwu didn't seem to fully agree with what he said.

"Family is important, but apart from that, commitments to friends are equally important. Since I promised to investigate the truth of this matter, I naturally cannot give up halfway." Akai Muwu said in a calm and firm tone.

"Then there's really nothing we can do..."

When Bai Heqing heard this, he just shook his head and sighed.

"Sir, you look like you know some fighting skills, right? It just so happens that I know a little bit about it too. Why don't we compete and learn from each other? If you win, sir, I will let you go. How about that?"

After Bai Heqing finished speaking, Sharon walked aside and closed the door of the restaurant.

"it is good."

"..."

Again, when it comes to fighting with others, Bai Heqing has never lost to anyone since he was a child, and tonight will be no exception.

Not long after, when Sharon opened the door of the restaurant again, the original three people in the store had turned into two people and a corpse.

"That's why I told you to go home quickly..."

In the messy store, Bai Heqing stepped forward and groped in Akai Muwu's clothes.

He was looking for the man's papers to confirm his identity.

Whether it was the tall man named Kuroda Hei before or the woman named Asaka with sunglasses, he had done this before.

"Bai He, how many days have you been out? When will you go back?" On the side, Sharon poured herself a glass of red wine.

"That's almost it. Let's ask Rum about the situation first."

As Bai Heqing spoke, he took out the ID card from Akai Muwu's jacket pocket.

"He's really from MI6... huh?"

As soon as he opened the ID, a photo slipped out. When Bai Heqing lowered his head and looked at it, his pupils suddenly shrank.

[This is...Mary? 】
