Chapter 155: Straws and Robbers

An abandoned two-story building.

Living room on the second floor.

"Yusaku, I, I'm a little..." After disguising herself, Kudo Yukiko looked uneasy.

Kudo Yusaku was sitting on a chair, playing with a white mask with a strange smile. Seeing his wife's expression, he smiled and said:

"What, you can't bear to leave?"

"No," Yukiko blushed and looked a little embarrassed, "Actually, I'm a little excited."

"Ah?" Kudo Yusaku was stunned.

Yukiko looked at the door leading to the kitchen, which had a hole in it.

In the kitchen, her own son Kudo Shinichi was tied up like a dumpling, lying unconscious on the floor.

She had tied him up with her own hands.

"Is this the feeling of committing a crime? It's so exciting." Kidnapping her own son with her own hands made Yukiko experience an unprecedented sense of freshness.

The corners of Kudo Yusaku's mouth froze.

Is this what they call a guilty pleasure?
"Hey, Yusaku, next time I want to try tying you up..." Yukiko leaned close to Kudo Yusaku's ear and whispered.

Kudo Yusaku thought to himself that something was wrong. It seemed that Yukiko was addicted to the kidnapping game.

"Ahem," he raised his hand to check the time and changed the subject, "The kid should be waking up soon. Let's prepare for the next scene and don't let the kid see any flaws."

Kudo Yukiko chuckled and said, "Don't worry, acting is my forte. It would be a hundred years too early for Shinichi to see through my acting skills."

She placed her hand on Kudo Yusaku's shoulder, then brushed it to his chin and gently lifted it up: "On the contrary, you, a pretty boy, better not reveal the truth."

Kudo Yusaku smiled slightly, put on the white mask with a strange smile on his face, and his voice suddenly changed:
"Hehe, don't worry, I promise to make Xiao Xinyi have an unforgettable night."

The rosy and attractive thin lips contained a thin white straw.

Miyano Akemi is drinking the sherry pie that Lin Ye prepared for her.

The aroma of fruit, wine, and the refreshing mint scent at the rim of the glass mixed together, giving her an icy, sweet taste that healed her tired spirit.

Lin Ye glanced at the lucky straw she was holding in her mouth and said with a smile, "Miss Yamei, do you know the history of straws?"

Miyano Akemi shook her head, looked at Lin Ye curiously, and pretended to listen attentively.

Lin Ye said: "The earliest known straws can be traced back to the Sumerian civilization 5,000 years ago. The unearthed Sumerian murals show that the nobles at that time used long objects to drink, and there were also metal tubes in the tombs."

"In ancient China, there are also historical records of drinking with reed pipes. The great Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu once wrote a poem: "Yellow sheep meat is not smelly, and reed wine is drunken." The so-called reed wine means drinking with a reed pipe."

"If you drink it through a reed pipe, it will taste different," said Akemi Miyano with a smile.

Lin Ye also smiled and said, "Maybe there will be more fragrance from plants."

“What about modern straws?”

"The invention of the modern straw is actually related to the cup of sherry pie that Miss Yamei is drinking now."

"Oh?"

Lin Ye smiled and explained, "In the 19th century, distillation technology was not well developed, and people preferred wine to the hard-to-drink distilled spirits. As early as the 16th century, sherry was hailed as the best wine in the world. Shakespeare called it "Spanish sunshine in a bottle." Until the 19th century, sherry was still the most popular wine in the world.

“In the early 19th century, sherry pie was born and became popular around this time. It was loved by drinkers and set off a trend of cold drinks. Americans who like cold drinks use rye straw as a straw, which makes the drink taste cooler. However, rye straw is easy to break, resulting in debris, and it has some flavor, which affects the taste of drinking.

"It was not until 1888 that an American cigarette merchant was drinking when his straw broke. He was annoyed and got inspiration from cigarette manufacturing. He invented the first paper straw and applied for a patent. From then on, paper straws became popular.

"Then until the 20s, when plastic straws became widely popular, paper straws were replaced by plastic straws."

That’s all Lin Ye has to say.

Later, when people realize the harm of plastic to the environment, paper straws will make a comeback, and metal straws will also appear in bars. But plastic straws are still the most used straws in the world because they are cheap and durable...

After listening to this, Akemi Miyano looked at the straw in front of her and thought to herself that there was such a story behind the straw.

She held the straw in her mouth and the cold wine flowed into her mouth.

The content of that text message came to my mind again.

[After the mission is successful, kill the others and gather at the designated location. Remember, there is only one quota for the organization to protect you...]

Miyano Akemi lowered her eyes, with a gloomy look on her face.

[Oh, what should I do?]

[I have never killed anyone, not to mention killing someone, I have never even had an argument]

[But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back...]

Under the bar, Miyano Akemi clenched her hands into fists, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes.

[For Shiho, I must survive! ]

[But those three are strong and cunning men. Can I really defeat them? ]

She fell into deep thought again.

When Lin Ye heard what she was thinking, he couldn't help but sigh. That organization was really cruel. They actually let a gentle woman like Miss Mingmei fight for her life with three criminals. It was as if they were using them to kill her.

Is there any way I can help her?

Looking at Miyano Akemi who was in deep thought, the scene in front of Lin Ye began to change.

He knew that he was entering Miss Mingmei's inner world, so he remained calm.

Soon, the changing scene took shape, and the building that appeared before him was a bank.

Mihua Branch of Mitsubishi Bank.

"Is this where Miss Mingmei works?"

He walked into the bank lobby, looked around, and found Miyano Akemi behind the counter.

At this moment, she stood up from her seat and walked towards the employee exit.

After Lin Ye made his body transparent, he followed.

Miyano Akemi walked into the empty dressing room and began to take off her clothes.

Lin Ye, who followed in, was startled and hurried back to wait outside.

After a while, Miyano Akemi opened the door and came out. She had changed her bank suit and pencil skirt into a black tights. With a hood on, she would be in the standard outfit of a robber.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ye immediately understood that this was her inner plan for the robbery that day.

Lin Ye followed her silently, and came to the parking lot behind the Siling Bank building through the back door. He saw her walking straight towards a silver van parked in the corner.

She opened the car door and got in.

Because the car windows were closed and he couldn't see what was going on inside clearly, Lin Ye walked to the front of the car and looked inside.

There were already two men in the car.

Sitting in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man with a high hairline. He looked like an ordinary taxi driver and should be a good driver.

Another tall young man, who looked strong and powerful, with a butt and a chin, sat in the passenger seat with a grim expression.

Both of them were wearing black tights, and as long as they put on a hood, they could transform into standard robbers.

This should be her robber teammate.

But wasn't there four people? Including Miss Mingmei who was sitting in the back row, there were only three people. Where was the other one?
