The doorbell of Monáe's house rang, and after checking the real-time surveillance on her mobile phone, Mingyue discovered that there was a foreigner wearing a beret at the door.

It was raining heavily and he was soaked to the skin, but he still stood in front of the door and kept ringing the doorbell. It seemed that he was sure that someone was in the house and would not leave without receiving a reply.

Mingyue stood up slowly, put on some clothes casually, and walked downstairs slowly, while the foreigner looked around at the door, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

[Master, I found information about this person in the CIA. Part of the Covert Operations Division, named Oliver Campbell. 】The voice of the prototype sounded in Mingyue's mind

【Did you enter the country legally? 】

[It has not been found so far, so it is probably not the case. 】

[Did the Japanese police give up all the elites to us? 】Mingyue's half-moon eyes looked at the foreigners outside.

[...Master, please consider the issue of stance and national education. 】

The doorbell rang again, with half-moon eyes, thinking that this person is really persistent, but logically speaking, if you really find something, just barging in would be more direct and effective than pressing the doorbell.

What is the purpose of this agent?

Mingyue answered the doorbell. Mingyue yawned and said, "Hello, who are you?"

A man's urgent voice came from the other side of the doorbell: "Hello, Miss Monáe, I'm sorry to bother you, but I really want to know what happened here the day before yesterday."

"You can ask the police to find out. I don't think I have anything to say."

Mingyue frowned as she looked at Oliver Campbell's anxious expression on the phone screen.

It’s raining so heavily. I didn’t even bring rain gear. I’ve been waiting for so long and still don’t want to leave. Do you expect me to be soft-hearted and open the door?

There must have been more than one person rushing in at that time.

But what happened to me probably refers to the burning car. There is a problem with the identity of the body! Unfortunately, the body was highly decomposed and could not be identified in the video, and there was no frontal image at all.

This is really not good news.

The man's voice on the other side of the doorbell said urgently: "Miss Monáe, my name is Philip Campbell. I am from the United States. I am a detective. Some time ago, I received a commission to track a person to Japan. However, the person disappeared. I I suspect that he was in a burning car. I can give you money, information fees, and even repair money. Can you tell me what you saw that day? This is very important to me!"

"Go to the Metropolitan Police Department and ask." Mingyue still refused. Pseudonym Philip? Philip, a warrior for truth. It's a good name, but the road to seeking truth is never easy.

"Please, I've been there, but I didn't ask anything. This person is very important to me. Please tell me the time and place." The sound of the wind mixed with the sound of rain, and there was a hint of urgency in the voice. Inexplicable emotions, but unfortunately the rain was too loud.

Mingyue leaned against the wall. There was a flash of lightning outside the house, followed by rumbling thunder. The man's pleading voice on the doorbell's intercom mixed with the sound of rain entered the house.

The screen of the mobile phone showed a man wiping the rain off his face with his hands, but he showed no intention of leaving.

Mingyue sighed and said, "Let's go to the Tiboro Coffee Shop at No. 5, 39-chome, Yoneka Town. I'll go there around three in the afternoon. You are wearing a blue suit and a red tie. If I see you, I will go over and look for you."

"Okay, okay! I'll wait for you there!"

The American detective who called himself Philip Campbell finally left.

Now that all sleepiness was gone, Mingyue got up and went to the second underground floor. She looked at the screen and watched the scenes of that day several times.

My fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, thinking: Is the Hongmen Banquet we are about to face this afternoon?

The rain is still heavy, and all I can hear is the sound of rain and wind. I don’t know where the insects and birds in the past have gone.

At this time, there were several large black birds circling in the sky. They flew silently, cutting through the rain with their metallic wings, passing through the wind, and looking down at the earth.

The corners of Mingyue's lips curled up slightly, thinking: I want to go over and see what the CIA is up to.

The pouring rain washed away the traces, but little did they know that a pair of eyes had already caught the traces.

Toru Amuro stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the safe house, looking at the continuous heavy rain outside, recalling the information he had just received. An unknown American came to Japan for an unknown purpose, and a body suspected of being an American was found. The specific cause of death was unknown. .

Toru Amuro squinted his eyes slightly, trying to see clearly the buildings behind the rain curtain, but the buildings that were originally clearly visible were now invisible.

The rain hitting the glass blurred the vision.

Midorikawa was the only one playing the five-string bass. The sound of rain outside the window was intertwined with the sound of bass inside the house. It was irritating and mixed with the rumbling thunder. It made people uneasy. Even the summer insects were silent. The pounding sound of rain.

The small cakes had been placed in the refrigerator for a long time. The room was empty, and the mobile phone lay quietly on the table.

There was lightning and thunder outside.

"Honey, what are you looking at?" Yukiko walked up to Yusaku and saw the heavy rain outside through the window. "It's raining really hard. Can the fireworks display in four days be held normally?"

"Mom, it's raining so hard now, it will definitely stop raining in four days." Kudo Shinichi also came over.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning broke through the clouds, emitting a blinding light. However, after a brief period of light, darkness returned.

Kudo Shinichi rubbed his eyes and finally could see his surroundings clearly.

"Yusaku, what are you looking at? You have been standing by the window sill since morning." Yukiko looked at Yusaku.

Although Kudo Yusaku was told by Yukiko, he still stared out the window and said: "Actually, it's nothing. It rained really hard today. By the way, Xiaolan won't come today."

Shinichi was about to go to the study, and when he heard his father asking Xiaolan, he stopped and said, "I made it clear to Xiaolan last night that she won't come today."

"Well, that's good. It's not a good time to go out today."

After finishing lunch, Shinichi went to the study room and continued reading the mystery novel he had not finished. Yukiko had cleaned the kitchen and was about to take a rest when she found Yusaku still by the window, looking out at the pouring rain.

"What's wrong?" Yukiko asked, "My son is in the study, can you tell me?"

The noisy rain covered up all other sounds.

"Oh, I really don't want to go out." Mingyue looked for a suitable umbrella in the tool room, and finally selected a large black umbrella. Although a bit heavy, it is perfect for rainy days.

Mingyue looked at the voice changer given by Dr. A Li and wondered if she could try to make a smaller one. After all, the belt was a bit obvious around the neck. If it could be reduced to the size of the voice changer and hidden in the mouth, could the plan that had been shelved for a long time be changed? Become a reality?

But now I have to go out for an appointment.

Mingyue walked out of the door holding a big black umbrella. Before she left the safe house, she felt someone was following her.

The man he was following was wearing a black raincoat. The gel raincoat covered his whole body, making it impossible to distinguish between male and female. He was wearing a mask on his face, and the brim of his hat was so low that his face was completely invisible.

There were very few pedestrians on the road, most of them walking in a hurry, and some shops were closed, probably because there were not many customers.

Big raindrops pattered on the black umbrella. After circling in the air, the big black bird landed on the branches of the tree, as if to avoid the pouring rain.

Mingyue walked through the alley, and the man wearing a mask followed Mingyue.

Mingyue walked to the side of the road, and the speeding vehicles brought up clouds of mist. The man wearing the mask was still behind Mingyue.

The bright moon moved slowly and slowly, but the wind and rain were heavy, and the big black umbrella was a bit heavy.

The people behind Mingyue also followed slowly, finding a suitable hiding place every time, and hiding away every time Mingyue looked over.

At this time, a girl held a pink umbrella and walked over hard despite the strong wind and rain. Her umbrella was too weak. It was blown over several times by the wind, and the girl tried hard to adjust it back several times.

The girl's skirt was already wet, and seemed to be stained by the sewage splashed by the passing vehicles.

But the girl continued to move forward.

Mingyue lamented that people still have to go out in such a heavy rain, but thought of herself holding an umbrella and walking in the heavy rain. I guessed in my heart that she must have something she had to do, otherwise who would be so stupid as to walk in the wind and rain.

What's more, her figure is like a small boat in the storm, which is pitiful.

Suddenly, the direction of the wind changed, a strong wind blew up, and the umbrella was blown this way and that. The wind howled in the gaps between the buildings, rolled up the rain, swirled it, and confused the eyes of passers-by.

The two people who were supposed to pass each other were bumped into each other by the chaotic wind, which disrupted their steps.

The girl's umbrella was blown away, like a cherry blossom.

Mingyue's umbrella was also blown to the side, swirled a few times in the wind, closed with a "pop" and fell to the ground, without being blown too far.

"Oh, my umbrella!" the girl exclaimed, quickly got up from the ground, and chased the flying umbrella.

Mingyue also stood up and picked up the big black umbrella that fell on the ground.

Crazy wind, dense rain, and the eyes of a confused girl looking for an umbrella.

In a daze, the umbrella that was blown away by the wind was put away and leaned against the wall. The pink color of the cherry blossoms was particularly obvious. The girl noticed it, walked over and picked it up, opened the umbrella, looked around, and found that there was no umbrella. people.

Mingyue looked in the direction where the girl was running, and saw a corner of the gelatinous black raincoat peeking out from the shadows.

Mingyue tilted her head, smiled, and said nothing.

I just thought this girl looked familiar. I should have seen it before. I recalled it, oh, it turned out to be that girl. I met her at the door of Polo Coffee Shop. She seemed to be the daughter of a policeman. There was someone who could see the file. My father is really enviable.

I don’t know how the eldest lady is doing. She probably didn’t go out today.

The girl held an umbrella and ran quickly towards Mingyue and asked: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, how about you?" Mingyue tugged at her pants that were stuck to her legs because they were wet.

The girl's skirt was wet and clinging to her body, outlining her beautiful curves. She said, "I'm fine, but my clothes are a little wet. Your clothes are also wet. My house is nearby. Do you want to go dry it off?" "

"Thank you very much, but I still have something to do." Mingyue smiled and rejected the girl's proposal.

The girl twisted the corners of her skirt with her hands, and water flowed from her slender fingers. She said seriously: "Indeed, there must be something wrong with walking outside in such heavy rain. I also have something to deal with."

"Goodbye then."

"See you."

The two girls said goodbye and continued moving in opposite directions.

The black raincoat in the shadow looked at all this and seemed to sigh, but the rain was noisy and no one heard it.

Mingyue came to Polo Coffee Shop. When she walked into the store, she saw two umbrellas on the umbrella stand at the door. There was not much water on the umbrellas. She saw that they had been there for a while. Mingyue put away the big black umbrella. I picked it up and put it in the umbrella stand, and the rainwater flowed down in streams, and finally flowed into the rainwater-catching plate.

Looking around the store, there was a female clerk clearing away the tableware. It must have rained too much. The store was deserted. There was only a white man in a blue suit and a red tie sitting in the store. He had a glass in his hand and was about to finish it. coffee, and he kept looking at his watch, as if something was urgent.

"Hello, what do you need?" Mingyue's movement caught the attention of the two people, and the female clerk spoke first.

Mingyue looked at the female clerk. She seemed young, with long straight black hair and a gentle smile on her face.

"I made an appointment here to meet someone, but can you give me a dry towel? I accidentally fell." Mingyue pointed to her wet pants and said.

"Okay, wait a minute." The cute female clerk saw Mingyue's wet pants and left quickly.

Mingyue walked straight to the CIA agent, sat down opposite him, picked up the menu and said, "It's raining so hard, so it's not too much to treat me to something to eat."

"Are you Miss Monáe?" Philip, a foreign man, asked as he looked at the gray-haired and blue-eyed girl in front of him.

Mingyue nodded, continued to look at the recipe in her hand, and said, "Why did you invite me here? A detective from the United States."

"I hope to know what you saw in that burning car. This is the information fee." Philip took out a roll of US dollars and pushed it in front of Mingyue.

However, Mingyue's eyes were still on the menu.

The man in a black raincoat quickly entered the store while the female clerk went to get a dry towel, found a place where Mingyue's table could not be seen and sat down, listening to Mingyue and the man talking.

The female clerk came over with a dry towel and suddenly noticed that there was another person in the store. The person took off his mask, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silencing gesture.

The female clerk blinked without making a sound, then saw the man pick up the note at hand, take out a pen from his coat pocket, and write "towel first" on the note.

The female clerk didn't say anything, nodded, and went to deliver towels to Mingyue. She thought to herself: It must be the girl's father. He was afraid that his daughter would be abducted by bad guys, so he came to follow her. I will help you keep an eye on that lady. After all, the detective upstairs often does such things.

"Hello, this is a dry towel." The female clerk handed the towel to Mingyue, but her eyes were fixed on the foreigner.

Phillip was startled by the female clerk's unwarranted gaze, and he couldn't help but slowly clenched his fists.

"Thank you." Mingyue took the towel, thanked the female clerk, and carefully ordered a lot of food.

Phillip listened to Mingyue's order. The portion didn't seem like something that one person could finish. Even if he was added to it, he wouldn't be able to finish so much, so he said, "Have you finished eating this much?"

However, Phillip was worried in his heart. Could it be that he had been exposed? Could it be that there are others lurking around? I quickly looked around the store, but found nothing unusual.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows, looked at the extremely nervous CIA agent, and said, "Doesn't it feel like this is too much for you? Then give me the money."

The man hiding in the blind corner frowned when he heard Mingyue's words.

The female clerk also frowned, and saw the US dollars on the table at the same time, thinking: Sure enough, the father is worried about his daughter. This girl is probably a bad learner. She hooks up with foreigners at such a young age. She needs education. , I want to tell her that this is wrong!

When the female clerk was about to speak, Ming Yue put the menu up, the phone screen lit up where only the female clerk could see it, and a paragraph appeared in front of the female clerk.

However, Mingyue pointed to the menu and ordered a few more desserts.

The female clerk had a look of surprise on her face, then said, "Okay." Then she left.

Mingyue put down the menu, looked at Phillip and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. Since you are willing to pay, then this is a deal."
