"Use your mouth."
Chapter 609 Zhenchun: You are really my good brother!
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than forty-eight hours have passed since the sniper incident on Suzuki Tower.
At noon on the third day, the air in the Sera family's living room was filled with the aroma of food and the clinking sounds of pots and pans.
At the dining table, Serabelle stretched out her hands and leaned forward slightly, picking up a plate in each hand. She then turned and walked towards the kitchen, placing the empty plates in the sink in front of Akai Mari next to the stove. As for the unfinished dishes, she sealed them with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator.
He had already had lunch and was now helping Akai Mari to clear the table.
As for why Sera Masumi didn't come along to help, it wasn't because she was lazy, but because the kitchen space was not that big and there was no way to squeeze three people in at the same time and still have enough space.
On the other hand, she was currently in her room preparing everything she would need to do her holiday homework in the Internet cafe.
For example, a small umbrella or something...
pat.
With the sound of a door closing coming from the direction of the master bedroom at the end of the living room corridor behind her, Serabelle, who had just put things next to the stove, looked back out of habit and saw the tiger-toothed girl coming out of the room with a single-shoulder backpack on her back.
Instead of the formal suit-style school uniform she had to wear every day at school, Masumi Sera wore a soft, casual sports sweatshirt made of lavender. It was clearly visible that there was a small bulge on her chest.
She walked through the hallway to the living room and tilted her head to look at Serabelle and Akai Mari in the kitchen.
"Brother, are you still not well? Is it time for us to set off?"
"almost."
Serabelle closed the refrigerator door, picked up a rag from the stove next to her and threw it over.
He was caught in mid-air by Masumi Sera.
"I'll need another minute or two here, please help wipe the table."
"Okay~"
Thinking about the wonderful time that would begin after arriving at the Internet cafe, the girl with tiger teeth suddenly became full of energy.
After a while, with the cooperation of the three people, the aftermath of the meal was resolved in minutes.
"Okay, okay, it's time to go!"
Masumi Sera changed her shoes at the door early. She opened the security door leading to the corridor and stood outside the door, constantly urging the boy who was still changing his shoes inside.
At the entrance from the living room to the foyer, Akai Mary took off her apron and came in front of the two of them. There was not much expression on her delicate little face as she looked at the brother and sister who were about to set off.
She folded her arms across her chest and lowered her eyes indifferently.
"Then I'm going to take a nap. Come back early after you're done. We'll have dinner later."
The British girl even emphasized the pronunciation of the word "get it done".
"Of course!"
Masumi Sera showed a super expectant and happy smile like a big cat. If this was not reality but an animation, she would definitely be surrounded by a lot of pink bubbles at this moment.
"My brother and I will be back around five... no, we will definitely be back before four o'clock, don't worry, mom."
Four o'clock?
Akai Mary glanced at the wall clock and couldn't help but snort in her heart.
You have to know that it is only 12:30 in the afternoon, not even afternoon. Even if it takes them half an hour to get there from home, there are still three hours left.
Based on her physical experience, she didn't think her stupid daughter could last that long.
But it doesn't matter, after all, she was the one who agreed to it.
"Okay, let's go."
At this time, Serabelle at the door had also changed her shoes.
However, just as he was about to go out, the cell phone that was previously in his pocket began to vibrate.
And it's not just a short vibration, but a continuous vibration to indicate an incoming call.
?
Who could be calling at this time?
"Wait me a moment……"
After saying this, Serabelle stopped what she was doing and took out her cell phone from her clothes.
The moment he saw the caller ID on the screen, he suddenly felt less inclined to answer the call.
All that was displayed on the screen was a simple string of numbers, with no remarks, but... it wasn't unfamiliar.
It was a call from a certain adopted son in a knitted hat.
Although the matter of commissioning an investigation had already been mentioned the night before, Akai Shuichi's personality was clearly not the type to lower himself to demand for the results of the investigation.
Unless...something happens again.
Pursing her lips helplessly, Serabelle clicked to answer the call.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"There has been new developments regarding the Timothy Hunter sniping incident..."
"I know."
"you……"
Akai Shuichi on the other end of the phone was about to continue speaking, but was slightly stunned.
"you know?"
"I know."
Serabelle stood up and raised her head slightly to look up at the sky.
"And I know it's a bad development, right?"
"……Yes."
Akai Shuichi paused for a moment, then admitted it.
"The specific situation is a bit complicated. If you have time now, please come to the Metropolitan Police Department, or the same conference room as before."
"Okay, but not now."
Said Serabelle.
what?
Such a straightforward refusal stunned Shuichi Akai on the other end of the phone.
Then he heard the boy continue speaking on the phone.
"Now I'm going to the Internet cafe in the city center with Zhenchun. She has holiday homework that requires a computer."
Holiday homework...
Perhaps this familiar and evil word suddenly triggered his memories of school days, and Shuichi Akai couldn't help but recall the frustration of struggling with holiday homework every holiday when he was young and ignorant, but finding out on the first day of school that the teacher didn't even check it.
“Homework…homework…?”
After mumbling a few words, Akai Shuichi was offline for about three or four seconds before he reacted.
"Why do you want to go too? Doesn't Zhenchun know how to use a computer?"
"Good question." Serabelle said expressionlessly, "The reason why she went to the Internet cafe is because she doesn't have a computer at home. Do you think if Zhenchun had the habit of playing on the computer, would her family not buy her a computer?"
Ok.
Shuichi Akai suddenly felt defeated.
Admittedly, it does sound strange at first to say that a high school student cannot use a computer, but if you add the prerequisite of "never using a computer", it seems to become reasonable in minutes.
but--
"How many days does Masumi's vacation have left?" Akai Shuichi asked in a slightly stiff tone.
To be honest, this seemed to be the first time in his life that he cared about his younger sister's study and life.
"Five days left if you don't count today," Serabel replied.
"Then we can go tomorrow..."
"You'll have to communicate with her yourself."
Before Akai Shuichi could finish his words, Serabelle interrupted him using the Insight skill.
"…Then give the phone to Zhenchun."
After a short silence, Akai Shuichi agreed.
So Serabelle handed over the phone.
Sera Masumi reached out to take it. She was even more straightforward and didn't even wait for her elder brother to speak before she just threw out two words.
"not good."
Chapter 610 People are all compromisers.JPG
Half an hour later, in the parking lot outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a black Audi passed the police cars on both sides and slowly parked in an empty parking space.
There is a saying that goes, people always compromise. If you want to disrupt the rhythm of other people's lives for free, it will naturally cause strong resentment from the other party.
For example, those people on the road who drive in a particularly aggressive style and like to be clever and cut in line.
But if you are not only polite and smiling but also take the initiative to offer them cigarettes, that is another matter.
Although Masumi Sera doesn't smoke, Akai Mary's words "You can spend the night outside" are enough to make her happily accept the invitation from her dear brother, the Metropolitan Police Department.
Of course, that’s not what the original words said, but it’s pretty much the same idea.
The view changes to the meeting room of the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Division in the Metropolitan Police Department building.
By the time Serabelle and Sera Masumi arrived, everyone was already there.
Except for Xiaolan and Suzuki and her daughter, everyone else at the long conference table was the same as at the last meeting.
On the Metropolitan Police Department side, there are Inspector Megure, Officer Takagi, and Officer Sato, while on the FBI side, there is still the familiar foursome.
Especially when Shuichi Akai, who was sitting on the side of the FBI, saw that his younger sister had also come, his expression changed slightly.
The decisive "not good" on the phone still lingers in his ears for a long time.
Even though the contact they had since childhood was not right, based on Shuichi Akai's understanding of his little sister, that "not good" was obviously said in anger.
But now, that certain tiger-fanged girl doesn't look angry at all.
So Shuichi Akai decided to give it a try and stood up and said.
"I'm sorry, due to the emergency, I can only call you here temporarily."
"...?"
As soon as he said this, even James next to him looked at him again.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with what he said, on the contrary, this is exactly what James wanted to say.
It has nothing to do with whether he really feels sorry or not. It's just a polite remark after handing the person over temporarily.
But this time it was said by Akai-kun, who is usually taciturn... It's really strange, right?
"It's okay, it's okay~"
Masumi Sera waved her hands quickly, her face showing her cute little canine teeth and an unconcealable happy smile.
"It doesn't matter what the matter is."
"..."
Now Akai Shuichi was even more confused.
Since you don't mind at all, then what about that "not good" you said on the phone before?
Could it be that he was just unlucky and just happened to run into trouble?
"...Okay, let's get down to business."
