I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

But the problem is... Xiaolan is one of the few people on the whitelist just like him!

Especially according to what Hibiki Eri said, she thought that it was very likely that Xiaolan had already begun to doubt the relationship between her and him. Who could guarantee that the time would not suddenly turn back?

And then he was caught red-handed at the front door just as he got out of the elevator?

"If Miss Maori finds out..."

"Haha~"

Kisaki Eri smiled, and her smile revealed an almost seductive charm.

"Then let her find out. That might not be a bad thing."

Chapter 458 Are you involved with her too?

They agreed not to work overtime, but due to some "unexpected" circumstances, Serabelle and Eri Kisaki ended up staying in the office until about 9:30 before leaving.

On the way back, we had a midnight snack together.

In this way, time passed quickly and it was the next day.

Early in the morning, when the faint sunlight dimly shone into the room through the curtains, the living room of the apartment still retained the chill of last night.

While Serabelle was sleeping soundly in bed in the bedroom with Akai Mari in her arms, she was awakened by the vibration of a cell phone on the bedside table next to her head.

That is the sound of the high-frequency collision between the mobile phone and the bedside table. Its penetrating and destructive power is never less than the ding ding ding sound of the system default alarm that goes straight to the depths of the soul.

With her mind suddenly clear, Serabelle took a deep breath of the cool morning air, stretched her arm out from the warm and soft quilt, took the mobile phone from the bedside table, and opened one eye with difficulty to take a look.

In the blurry vision from just waking up, four large characters came into view from a close distance.

——Teacher Judy.

Ok?

Serabelle raised her eyebrows slightly, as what happened yesterday was still fresh in front of her eyes.

It is said that they took advantage of the chaos in Haido Park yesterday afternoon and knocked out and kidnapped the new popular female host Rena Mizunashi of Nichimi TV, who was discovered by Conan to be a member of the brewery.

I originally thought that with the FBI's mentality, it would take at least a few days to ask all the questions, and then sort out and filter all the content to produce a "simplified version" before handing it over to me, a former MI6. I didn't expect to get a reply so quickly.

When did the Acehous in the functional departments become so efficient?

Serabelle was just about to answer the call, but unexpectedly, Akai Mari beside her also woke up with a light groan.

Like Serabel, she has been away from MI6 for almost a year. The relaxing and comfortable life for a whole year has made Akai Mari almost forget the feeling of being on standby 24 hours a day.

So after opening her eyes and taking a quick glance to find that Serabelle was just answering the phone, the British girl immediately closed her emerald eyes again, yawned with her hands covering her mouth, then stretched out her arms and turned over to straddle the boy's waist based on the sense of touch, with her seemingly slender arms greedily wrapped around his neck.

"Who called?"

"Teacher Judy."

"…Shuichi's female colleague? Are you also having an affair with her?"

Perhaps because she hadn't woken up yet, Akai Mary's thinking was still a little slow and she spoke without restraint.

Serabel skillfully put one hand around the girl's waist to hold her against herself, and coughed lightly at the same time.

"Of course not. I think she's calling now probably about yesterday's operation."

"What did you do yesterday?"

"Yesterday... we captured a member of the Black Organization. Her name is Mizunashi Reina, and her code name is Keel. I guess they made some progress after interrogating her all night."

"Really."

Akai Mari reacted very calmly, and rubbed her cheek against the boy's chest in a half-asleep state.

"Turn on the speakerphone."

"Oh……"

Serabelle readily answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Miss Judy?"

"Oh good morning, Sera-kun, I hope I didn't disturb your rest... I really wish I could say that if I could."

As soon as the call was connected, a slightly exaggerated voice from a female English teacher at Teitan High School came from the other end of the phone, and she started with a standard American interruption.

"Remember the Mizunashi Reina we captured yesterday?"

"Remember, what happened."

Serabelle frowned slightly. Judy's way of speaking gave him a bad feeling.

To put it simply, if nothing unexpected happens, an accident will happen.

"I have something to ask about her." Judy still hesitated, "Did you use any...extreme means to attack Mizunashi Rena yesterday when you took advantage of the chaos?"

"No."

Serabelle emphasized.

"If knocking someone out and boxing them up doesn't count, then it doesn't count."

"That's it."

There was another pause on Judy's part.

Serabel was not used to her evasive way of speaking and could not help but ask directly.

"So what happened? Did you interrogate her to death?"

"Of course not! Of course not!" Judy was shocked and quickly denied it. "We haven't even started the interrogation since last night, but the situation is a bit complicated now. If possible, I would like to wait until you come over and see the scene before we talk about it."

"...I see. The same place, right? I'll be there in a minute."

After simply ending the call, Serabelle put down the phone silently, lay flat on the bed, held her forehead towards the ceiling, and then prepared to carry Akai Mari to her side and get up herself.

But Akai Mari sat up before him, lifted the quilt with her small shoulders and supported her hands on the boy's chest.

"I will go with you."

……

Half an hour later, on a familiar street in the suburbs of Tokyo, a black Audi stopped by the road through the morning mist.

The entire road here was originally intended to be a commercial street next to a residential community, but later the residential community was not built and instead all the stores on the commercial street were sold out first.

Without any source of business, the shop owners are naturally unhappy, but there is nothing they can do.

After all, it was my name that was signed on the contract in black and white. I can't just ask for a refund without any reasons for seven years.

But they didn't want to admit the loss, so they had to find another way out.

For example, put a sign on the door saying "Shop for rent" and see if you can find a sucker... Oh no, someone is willing to take the offer.

Shuichi Akai and his companions rented one of the shops with its own basement. From the outside, it still looked like a desolate and deserted shop, but no one would have imagined that there was a secret FBI operations base underneath.

After getting out of the car, Serabell took Akai Mari into the store and came to the entrance of the basement with ease.

Judy had been waiting there in advance. She was stunned when she saw Serabelle coming with a girl with big wavy brown hair and emerald green eyes.

"She is……"

"All at once."

Serabelle explained.

He knew very well that the reason why Judy couldn't recognize Mary Akai was to avoid being discovered by James Blake. Today, Mary Akai specially wore the same wig as her niece and re-drew her eyeliner before coming here.

Otherwise, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes can be seen at a glance unless you are blind.

"By the way, is Mr. James here?" asked Serabel.

"Uh, Mr. James is not here at the moment..."

Judy hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"Because we have made some progress in Japan, the headquarters decided to continue to send people over. Mr. James went to the airport to pick him up early in the morning and he will probably be back at noon."

"Really."

The person who responded was not Serabel, but Akai Mari.

Then the British girl was seen taking off the wig on her head and wiping off her eye makeup, revealing her original appearance.

"Okay, lead the way. Shuichi should be here too, right?"

Chapter 459 Female Anchor ○ Ban

When Serabelle and Marie Akai followed Judy down the concrete stairs to the end, the first thing that caught their eyes was the "living room" in the basement.

Pots and pans, stoves, etc. are placed along the wall in the middle of the living room. This should be the place where people who usually stay here solve the problem of eating. There is a ventilation fan on the wall near the ceiling.

This way, you don’t have to worry about suffocating yourself from the oily mist when cooking.

The only lighting in the living room was an incandescent lamp hanging directly from the ceiling with electric wires. The tungsten filament in the bulb emitted dazzling warm light, barely illuminating every corner of the living room.

In addition to the living room, there are two rooms in the basement, located on the east and south sides of the living room, separated by two wooden doors.

In fact, to call it a door is an exaggeration. It is just two rough wooden boards nailed on door hinges. Looking from the outside in, there is a gap of five or six centimeters between the bottom of the door panel and the ground, and there is not even a door lock.

It is neither warm nor safe, and even the most basic privacy protection is difficult to achieve.

"Sorry, due to limited conditions, the environment can only be slightly worse."

Judy walked in front, half of her body turned sideways, and smiled helplessly.

"For example, I have a proper job, so I can live in my own apartment. Mr. James and Xiu... Akai-kun are a little more aggrieved. They can only live in a room in the basement here."

She continued to explain: "After all, Japan also has an agency similar to the FBI, the National Police Agency. They don't welcome us to work on their soil. If we are discovered, we will probably be watched closely."

"It doesn't matter."

Akai Mary looked straight ahead and spoke in a cold voice.

"As an agent, the most important thing is to complete the mission while ensuring your own safety. As for comfort and enjoyment, if you really want these, you wouldn't be an agent."

"That's... what I said."

Judy's mouth twitched slightly.

It was a little outrageous, but when she heard the voice of the blonde British girl behind her, she actually had a sense of déjà vu as she was receiving her first lecture from her instructor when she was a trainee investigator.

But this is also good. If she had some doubts about the identity of the blonde girl before, now she can be 100% sure that she is Xiu's mother and Sera-kun's adoptive mother.

Leading the two people behind him, he went down the stairs and turned directly at the entrance of the living room in the basement to the door on the south side. Judy raised her hand and pushed open the door.

The lights in the room were also on, the same incandescent lights as in the living room.

There was only a hard bed inside, on which lay Rena Mizunashi with her eyes closed, and next to the bed was Shuichi Akai, who was wearing a knitted hat and had his hands in his pockets.

Hearing the noise at the door, Shuichi Akai turned his head and was stunned to see Serabelle, who was brought by Judy, and the blonde British girl beside her.

And Akai Mary just looked indifferently at this rebellious son whom she had not seen for nearly ten years.

When the mother and son met each other and looked at each other, the atmosphere in the basement became a little subtle for a moment.

Judy also keenly noticed this, but being caught in the middle she didn't know what to say, so she could only look at Akai Shuichi and then at Akai Mary.

Fortunately, Serabelle didn't care about all this at all and walked straight past the female foreign teacher and went in.

"So what's the situation?"

“…Not very good.”

The deadlock was broken, and Akai Shuichi slowly withdrew his gaze and returned it to Rena Mizunashi, who had her eyes closed on the bed.

"It has been like this since yesterday afternoon."

"Never woke up?" Serabelle came to the bed and looked around.

"No, but that's all."

Akai Shuichi shook his head.

"There were no external injuries on her body, and her vital signs were stable, but she just wouldn't wake up. What did you do to her when you took her away yesterday?"

"Nothing, just a light tap on the back of the neck."

Serabelle put her five fingers together to form a knife-like hand and made a small chopping motion in the air.
