Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Bourbon suddenly felt a gaze locked on him. He turned around and saw only the gradually dispersing crowd around him. The gaze seemed to have never appeared and disappeared, like a drop of water falling into the sea, with no trace left. But Bourbon was sure that this was not his illusion, he was indeed being stared at.

Scotland noticed something was wrong with Bourbon and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Rye tilted his head to look at Scotland and Bourbon, and continued to lead the way.

"It seems someone is targeting me." Bourbon observed the people coming and going around him, glanced at Lei, and changed the subject, "Are the games in the other rooms over? I think there seem to be a lot more people on the deck."

Lei looked around, "I guess most of them are finished."

"Where are you taking us?" Scotland looked at the Gray Rabbit mask in Lei's hand, "Do you really know where the Gray Rabbit is?"

"I'll take you to my and Gray Rabbit's room. I think she should be there." Lei's eyes were sharp.

"Didn't we just check it a while ago?" Bourbon put his hands in his pockets, frowning, and felt a tingling sensation in his palms. "Let's go to the room where we just finished the game and take a look."

Lei struck a match, lit a cigarette, glanced at the gray rabbit mask in his hand, exhaled a puff of gray smoke, and stated the basis for his judgment, "Those clothes all came from that room, and I guess this mask too, there aren't many situations that would allow her to take off the mask."

Bourbon and Scotland followed Ry in silence, reviewing in their minds what had happened from the time the Phantom Thief Crow appeared to the time he left, and listening to the people around them complaining about the inflatable doll.

No one wants to be deceived, but sometimes we have to weave a sweet giant net with lies to trap the prey in it.

Scotland secretly glanced at Bourbon's hands in his trouser pockets, and saw that his cuffs were stained with red blood. His eyes dimmed, and he sighed slightly. His thoughts drifted away, as if he was recalling some old memories.

The cold sea breeze blew up Lei's long black hair, and the dark green eyes under the black wolf mask narrowed slightly, which made Bourbon feel that Lei and Gin were more and more similar.

The night breeze was bitingly cold, and the lifeboat on the vast ocean was like a dead leaf, rising and falling with the waves.

Kogoro Mouri held a searchlight and aimed it at the Phantom Thief Crow in the night sky.

After counting the people on the ship, Ross stood behind Kogoro Maori and looked up at the dark hang glider in the sky.

"Where is ahead?" Kogoro Mouri always felt vaguely uneasy. Although he had left the cruise ship where he could die at any time and was on this lifeboat that could carry more than 200 people, chasing the thieves in the sky, he did not know where he was, let alone whether ahead was heaven, hell, or perhaps an abyss from which there was no escape.

Ross glanced at Maori Kogoro and said, "I don't know. The sailors won't tell me."

"Is there any communication equipment? Can it be used?"

"I think there are some, but I didn't find them." Ross looked at the Ogusius cruise ship going away, "One helmsman and six sailors."

Maori Kogoro said solemnly, "They share the same goal with us. We want to catch the Phantom Thief and take back the Star of Kashmir."

Ross chuckled. "And then? Mr. Detective, will they give up the gem?"

"Don't do anything unnecessary. Catch the thief first." Maori Kogoro glanced at the fruit knife in Ross's hand, which was shining with cold light. A sense of uneasiness swept over his body. He lowered his voice and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ross rolled his eyes, shrugged, and said helplessly: "What if they find out my identity?"

Maori Kogoro's heart rose to his throat, and he said weakly: "No... It's impossible... He... They..."

"Honey, will you help me? They might kill me." Ross's red lips were almost touching Kogoro Mouri's ear.

The warm breath sprayed on the earlobe. If someone saw the charming and erotic scene, they would inevitably blush and their heart would beat fast, but Kogoro Mori felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

"There were seven of them."

"Why are you scared? Or do you not want to see your wife and daughter?"

Maori Kogoro took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. "You should be able to contact your accomplices."

Ross grinned, "Yeah, we'll be in touch."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Maori Kogoro looked at the hang glider in the sky, "I have been helping you all the time."

"Of course I know. So as my accomplice, dear, I'll trouble you to help me with the following matters." Ross restrained the smile on his face. "If I die, you will never see your wife and daughter again."

Maori Kogoro stared at the hang glider in the sky and changed the subject: "How long do you think he can fly?"

"Who knows?" Ross's lips curled slightly, "After I contact the organization, I'll see how long he can fly."

"I want to hear my wife's voice." Kogoro Mori looked at Ross.

Ross stretched out his right hand and made a gun gesture, pointing at the Phantom Thief Crow in the sky. He let out a "bang" sound, with a determined smile on his face.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at the cruise ship disappearing from his sight behind him, adjusted the angle of the searchlight, and continued to stare at the Phantom Thief Crow in the sky.

In the pitch-black night, the boundary between the sea and the sky is no longer clear. The darkness is like a ferocious beast, swallowing up all the light in its shadow.

The howling wind picked up the waves, which hit the rocks and the beach hard.

A withered yellow leaf came with the wind and fell into the dark sea.

In the cramped underground warehouse, you can't see the sky and you can't feel the cold wind.

Kisaki Eri fell on the wet and muddy ground. Her hands and feet were tied tightly and she could not move. The pain in her abdomen made her faint several times.

The tall Snake threw Mao Lilan's cell phone directly to the ground and stepped on it firmly with his thick-soled leather shoes. The cell phone broke into pieces instantly and the broken parts fell on Kisaki Eri's face.

Snake squatted down, took out a pistol from the inside pocket of his suit, put the muzzle of the gun against Kisaki Eri's temple, and with his other hand quickly tore off the tape that covered Kisaki Eri's mouth.

stab-

Because of the pain, Kisaragi frowned unhappily, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth and fell into the dark and muddy ground.

Snake looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, and reached out to press the collar-shaped voice changer on his neck. "This thing is really useful, but it makes my throat itchy. Now I give you a chance, tell me, where did you hide your daughter?"

Kisaki Eri clenched her teeth and stared fiercely at the tall man in front of her.

Snake was annoyed by the look from Kisaki Eri, so he kicked her in the stomach.

Kiyori groaned and curled up into a ball.

"Be good, tell me, so you won't suffer so much." Snake squatted in front of Hibiki Eri and loaded the bullet. "It's not very comfortable to be shot by this thing. Don't worry, I won't let you die so soon."

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against Kisaki Eri's calf.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a nice-looking leg. It wouldn't look good if there was a hole in it."

"Heh." Instead, Hibiki chuckled and spat out the blood foam in her mouth. "Go ahead and shoot. Your gunshot will attract the attention of the police. Who will live and who will die then is hard to say."

"You're still stubborn even when death is imminent!" Snake said this, but he didn't dare to shoot. It was not because he was afraid of attracting the attention of the police, but because he was worried that the lawyer would not be able to withstand a few bullets and would die.

If they cannot torture Maori Ran to find out her whereabouts, Maori Kogoro will most likely escape Ross's control. If this stubborn woman dies, once Maori Kogoro turns against them, the mission will fail, and Ross may also die. At that time, he will not only be sent to the corporal punishment room, but also be punished by the organization.

Just as Snake was interrogating Eri Kisaki, a private car full of plainclothes police officers was speeding on the road. The roaring sound of the engine attracted some people's attention.

"Brother, there are suddenly a lot more vehicles on the road." Vodka, wearing sunglasses, looked at several private cars whizzing past them.

Gin held a cigarette in his mouth and put his phone back into the inner pocket of his black windbreaker. "I wonder what Rum is doing recently. Maybe he doesn't want that eye anymore?"

"Brother Rum naturally has his own arrangements." Vodka checked the photo negatives he had just received and said naggingly, "Didn't Bourbon go on that Augsburg cruise ship with Monae..."

Gin glanced at the vodka beside him, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and took a few quick steps against the biting cold wind.

Vodka put the film away, looked up and found that Gin was some distance away from him, so he quickly ran a few steps to catch up.

The winter wind is very cold, bringing bone-chilling chill. The sea water is also cold. The equally cold cruise ship floats on the sea, heading towards the unknown distance.

Bourbon and Scotland followed Lei to the door of the room on the seventh floor of the cruise ship. They looked around vigilantly and saw that no one was paying attention to them. The gamblers were still searching for Mingyue.

Lei swiped the door open with his bracelet and carefully pushed it open a crack.

There was no light in the room, but they could feel a warm current coming towards them, probably because the heater was on. The floor-length curtains were not drawn, and with the help of the searchlight that kept sweeping across the window, they could see the scene inside clearly.

Except for the closed bathroom and closet on the first floor that could not be explored, there was no one in the rest of the place. A medicine box was placed abruptly on the coffee table.

Three bottles of whiskey walked into the room cautiously. They did not turn on the lights and closed the door. Unlike the previous noise, the room was very quiet, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.

The three undercover agents who had been walking in the dark for years slowed down their breathing at the same time. The warm, quiet and comfortable environment made their nerves highly tense.

The three of them looked at each other and silently determined each person's action goal.

Bourbon went to check the bathroom, Ley checked the closet, and Scotland checked the balcony. The three bottles of whiskey were very fast. They confirmed that there was no one on the first floor, so what about the second floor? Several people looked up in the direction of the stairs.

The winding staircase was not long. The three bottles of whiskey tiptoed upstairs, trying not to make any noise as much as possible and even controlling their breathing.

The curtains on the second floor blocked the light outside the window, and the room was dark. All the scenes in front of my eyes were hazy, as if covered by a layer of gauze. The layout of the second floor was the same as that of the first floor, except that there was a small bulge on the flat big bed.

"So slow." Mingyue's voice rang out in the quiet room.

The three bottles of whiskey breathed a sigh of relief, but still checked the second floor according to the previous division of labor.

After taking a glance, Mingyue turned over in bed, facing the three bottles of whiskey with her back, and buried her head in the quilt.

"You've been in the room the whole time?" Lei gently closed the door of the closet. There were fewer clothes in the closet. "Has the thief Crow been here?"

Mingyue's voice was muffled, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Your mask." Lei placed the gray rabbit mask on the bedside table.

Scotland sat on the bed, looked at the small bulge on the bed, and said with some concern: "Mingyue, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm not feeling unwell." Mingyue still had her head covered in the quilt, with only a few gray hairs sticking out.

"That man in the black cloak and monocle has been here." Bourbon looked at Mingyue who was curled up in the quilt, thinking about the possible relationship between Mingyue and the thief.

"So what if I saw it?"

Scotland glanced at Bourbon's hand in his trouser pocket, then looked at Mingyue hiding in the quilt, "Are you hurt?"

Mingyue felt Scotland's concern, and knew in her heart that Scotland and Lei would not pull her out of the quilt like Gin did, but she still held the quilt tightly with both hands, wary of Bourbon, and said to herself with her head down, "There is a medicine box on the first floor. Go and bandage the injured. I'm going to sleep." After that, a yawn sound was heard from under the quilt.

"You haven't been in the room the whole time, otherwise how would you know someone was injured?" Bourbon looked at the small bump on the bed. The wound on the palm of his hand had stopped bleeding. He wanted to lift the quilt, but that might tear the wound on his hand again, and Hiro would be angry.

But his intuition told Furugaya Rei that the gaze focused on him was most likely Mingyue hiding in the quilt, but he had no evidence at the moment.

Mingyue yawned again, "You smell very bloody. I can smell it through the quilt. Aren't you going to sleep? I don't know what will happen tomorrow."

A pair of eyes hidden in the quilt were sparkling, without any sign of sleepiness at all.

Lei stared at the bulge on the bed with a gloomy look on his face. Did she use that drug again?

"I'll give you the bed downstairs. I'll just lean back here and take a nap." After saying that, Lei sat down at the head of the bed and closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.

Scotland looked around the room, "Call us if you need anything."

"Yeah." Lei still closed his eyes.

Bourbon and Scotland turned around and went downstairs. Bourbon looked at the bulge on the bed for a long time.

Lei listened to the footsteps gradually fading away, opened his dark green eyes, glanced at Mingyue who was hiding under the quilt beside him, and said in a voice that only Mingyue could hear: "They went to the first floor."

Then Lei saw the little bag in the quilt squirmed twice, and a pair of bright purple eyes appeared.

As expected, the medicine was used again. A dark light flashed in Akai Shuichi's dark green eyes.
