Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

At noon the next day, Shiina Yuichi woke up from his sleep feeling a little groggy.

I received a call from Sakai Kuroo while I was dazed.

"The bird ran away."

This one sentence gave Shiina Yuichi a heads-up.

"Run away? Didn't you keep an eye on him?" Shiina Yuichi was a little incredulous.

With Sakai Kuroo's ability, any movement of the 鸩鸟 would attract his attention.

Moreover, after returning to Tokyo yesterday, he and Sakai Kuroo searched all the belongings from the 鸩鸟 and tied him up tightly.

How did this get away?

Shiina Yuichi rushed to Sakai Kuroo's current residence with a headache.

"You're here." Sakai Kuroo's face was extremely dark. He naturally felt very ashamed for such a mistake.

In particular, what happened yesterday made it very clear to him that the 鸩鸟 was his only way to understand the truth of the matter.

Now that the bird is gone, they are not sure whether they have been exposed to the organization.

The situation they are in now is completely out of their control.

When Yuichi Shiina arrived at the room where they had imprisoned the jinniao, there was only a bed and a balcony with floor-to-ceiling windows.

The quilt on the bed was opened, and the rope with the bird tied to it lay quietly on it, as if mocking them.

Yuichi Shiina picked up one end of the rope, looked at it carefully, and found that there were neat cuts on it.

This means that the rope was cut by someone.

Someone has been in this room.

Shiina Yuichi frowned slightly and turned to look at Sakai Kuroo.

"Did you fall asleep at night?"

In response to Shiina Yuichi's question, Sakai Kuroo was stunned and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Maybe I was too tired, and before I knew it... I woke up today and found that he was gone."

As he spoke, Sakai Kuroo's face darkened again, but he had no choice because the problem was with him.

Shiina Yuichi nodded silently. He did not blame Sakai Kuroo, but walked out of the room silently and came to the door lock.

The surface was very smooth, but with the help of sunlight coming in from the window at the end of the corridor, Shiina Yuichi still noticed the scratches in the keyhole.

This shows that someone has picked the lock and the method was very sophisticated.

Shiina Yuichi pondered for a moment, suddenly looked at the air conditioner in the living room, walked forward, and just when he was approaching the air outlet.

I smelled a faint sweet scent.

He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Sakai Kuroo.

"Did you turn on the air conditioner in the living room yesterday?"

"Yeah." Sakai Kuroo nodded, because the temperature dropped several degrees in the second half of the night.

He wanted to watch the 鸩鸟, so he stayed in the living room and watched TV programs.

Shiina Yuichi suddenly sighed, "Then let me guess again, has the 鸩鸟 been to your place before?"

"Yes, how did you know?" Sakai Kuroo tilted his head with a big question mark on his head.

"Someone placed sevoflurane in your air conditioning vents," Shiina Yuichi explained.

"This is an inhaled general anesthetic used in clinical medicine."

"It is also highly volatile. You must have closed the doors and windows when you turned on the air conditioner yesterday. If so, the smell of sevoflurane would circulate in the room."

"Although this thing is very safe, it can be troublesome if you inhale too much."

"Since you can still talk to me properly, you should thank the other party for not taking your life."

Shiina Yuichi shared his discovery.

Hearing this, Sakai Kuroo's face changed slightly, "You mean I was knocked unconscious in the early morning? But most of the sevoflurane will be naturally excreted from the body with human breathing. It's impossible for me to be unconscious for so long."

"That's why I told you to thank others."

Shiina Yuichi continued, "Most likely when you fell into a coma for the first time, the other party came in and gave you a shot of a strong anesthetic."

"From this point of view, the other party probably doesn't want your life, but just wants to rescue or take away the bird."

Shiina Yuichi thought for a moment and continued, "If my guess is correct, she should be the one who did it."

"She?" Sakai Kuroo was puzzled.

"Have you forgotten? The woman who always follows behind the bird."

After Shiina Yuichi's reminder, a beautiful and tall woman appeared in Sakai Kuroo's mind.

"It's her, Willow Warbler."

"Yes, if we were to talk about the time of action, it should be when we returned to Tokyo."

"Because the air vent was closed at the time, I didn't pay much attention to it."

Speaking of which, Shiina Yuichi was also a little annoyed. He didn't expect that he was so careless.

But if you really want to say that, you can't blame him. No one knew that the bird would have such a backup plan.

"But how did the two of them cooperate? Wasn't the bird in a coma the whole time?"

Sakai Kuroo still didn't understand how the other party judged that they would rush back to Tokyo in the early morning.

Seeing this, Shiina Yuichi did not say anything, but sat silently on the sofa in the living room, holding a bottle of juice found in the refrigerator in his hand.

After taking a mouthful, he continued.

“Because of the phone call.”

"Phone call?" Sakai Kuroo was puzzled.

"That's right." Shiina Yuu paused, "When he asked me for help, he used the phone, so why couldn't he ask Liu Ying for help?"

"The answer is that he had sent a message for help to Willow Warbler, but the other party was unable to help the bird at that time, so he had to settle for the second best and chose to ask me for help, but he is a smart man."

"Given the conflicts between us, it is impossible for us to trust each other 100%."

“That’s how the situation is now.”

Listening to Shiina Yuichi's reasoning, Sakai Kuroo questioned, "According to you, he had already arranged everything for the rest of the operation before the surgery?"

"If he had ended up at your house instead of here..."

"No!" Shiina Yuichi shook his head, feeling a little complicated.

This time, he was tricked by the poisonous bird.

"He was 100 percent sure that he was here."

Sakai Kuroo expressed his incomprehension.

Shiina Yuichi could only smile bitterly, "Because he knows that among those being hunted there are members of the organization."

"But we don't know, so when he sees me dealing with those people in the woods, the organization's identity will definitely be exposed."

"Therefore, I will remain wary of him. In order to obtain the intelligence I want, I will definitely keep him by my side."

"In this case, someone must watch him, and you are the perfect choice."

This is what Shiina Yuichi is best at, controlling people's hearts.

This time, he actually fell into the hands of the poisonous bird.

And the most crucial point is.

Shiina Yuichi was certain that Shiina Yuichi would never leave him in Shiina Yuichi's own home.

Because from previous interactions, Shiina Yuichi always showed a strong desire to protect Haibara Ai.

Therefore, in order to keep the jinniao away from Haibara Ai, he would not place the jinniao in a place where Haibara Ai might appear.

In addition, the rescue time was so tight, he had only one choice.

That is Sakai Kuroo's home now.
