Late autumn

In that airtight hut, the police officer on duty across the street had changed countless batches. My body has been maintained by water for the past few days. I refused any food, and I was so depressed that I couldn’t swallow it. Whether it is coercion or lure, my attitude has been silence from beginning to end. Silence is the most powerful shield. This is true in the organization, and it is also the same outside now.

Finally, Akai still appeared. "Zhibao, you don't need to torture yourself like this, it will be easier to say it. Your face is so pale, at least you should eat something."

I shook my head, "Akai, if you came here just to persuade me to surrender, please leave."

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Zhibao, I don't know how to compensate you, so you will forgive me, and I don't expect your forgiveness anymore. I was wrong to use your sisters at the beginning. Now I only hope that you can be happy. Fulfill Minmei's last wish."

"No need, Akai. You don't owe me anything. Maybe it's been a long time. After I hated it for a while, I realized that everyone is right. You have your persistence in faith, and my sister has her devotion to her lover and sister. Gin has his loyalty to the organization. If you didn't use your sister back then, maybe you would have used someone else. This kind of tragedy is inevitable, no matter who it happens to. I don't want to pursue the past, I'm tired, and as for my happiness, I think, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Zhibao..." For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The house fell silent.

"The child is very beautiful, like you and him." He smiled and changed the subject.

"Where is she now? I want to meet her," I said.

"Then go for a walk with her in your arms, you must be suffocated to death if you stay in a small room all the time," he suggested.

After a while, I saw a policewoman walking towards me in her pink arms.

She hesitated visibly before handing the child into my hands.Look around at the officers, because I'm a suspect now.

Are you afraid that I will hurt my own children?I smiled wryly in my heart.

With Akai's swearing guarantee, they can safely hand over the child to me.

I held her and she seemed to gain a lot of weight.A pair of small fleshy hands were scratching in front of me. I teased her, pointed to Akai and said to her, "This person is your uncle." hug.

I smiled, although Akai is well-known in the police circle, but he is not skilled in handling children. He changed several positions to hold his daughter, and she felt uncomfortable. In the end, he cried and stretched out his little hand for me to hug.

I carried her and walked in the yard with Akai, followed by several policemen.Perhaps restraining me without handcuffs is the best they can do.My actions are still constrained.

"Shiho, what are you going to do next?"

"What can I do? You won't let me go, and you won't convict me, what can I do?"

"Actually, Shiho. As long as you cooperate, after the organization is destroyed, Kudo and I will guarantee you that you will not be involved."

I didn't answer his words, "Akai, do you know why my sister is so easy-going, but she is so firm and stubborn when it comes to you and me?"

"She's the kind of person who doesn't care no matter how many sacrifices she makes as long as it's for love." He answered casually.

I smiled slightly.He froze for a moment, then smiled, helplessly and distressed.

"But, for him, is it worth it?"

"I also want to ask my sister this question. For me, or for you, is it worth it?"

"You sisters really look alike." He sighed.

"But, haven't you thought about your child's future life? She's still so young." He looked dotingly at his sleeping daughter lying on top of me, and asked.

I paused slightly. "I want her to be happy."

I stopped and looked at the distance slowly being dyed golden and dark green by the cool wind, and it was almost autumn again.The world is always reincarnated, the flowers bloom and wither, the tide ebbs and flows, counting with our fingers, we spent four springs and autumns together.Compared with the eternity between lovers, our time is too short.Just because we are in the dark?The scene of returning to China a few years ago is still vivid, but now it is about to end.I don't know how he will fade out of my life, and how I can continue the next story, it's too short, our story is too short.But we have experienced what we should experience and what we should not experience. This relationship is as fleeting as a flash in the pan. Every story comes in such a hurry, but it is so complicated.

Gin, I'm curious, if our life is not in the dark, will there be such a story between you and me...

"Akai, I'm tired, let's go back..."

The next day, I was taken to an apartment by car. This apartment was not big, but it was clean and bright, and the environment was very quiet.Great for kids to rest.

Kudo said to me: "Your safety will be taken care of by a special person. Akai and I are going to make a final break with the organization."

"If you accidentally sacrificed, it is estimated that the whole of Japan will cry like a river."

"The next struggle will be tragic, and I have prepared for the worst. However, even if I die with them, I will not let the organization continue to exist." He is very firm.

"What about Mao Lilan?" I said lightly, but he was stunned.

"She has been waiting for you for so many years, and you put your own life on the line like this, what do you want her to do?" I repeated again.

"Did you understand my character on the first day? I will not give up. Besides, I just said that it is the worst plan, and it may not really happen, so you don't want to think about it."

In the next few days, I heard a lot of news about the decisive battle from the people who guarded me:

The police occupied and destroyed the base of the organization...

The police sacrificed many people in a certain struggle, but the key members of the organization still escaped...

The sporadic battles made the Japanese people panic...

High school student detective Shinichi Kudo's ingenious plan goes all the way and captures the organization's number two man, code-named Rum...

The tricks of the FBI and CIA dispersed the members of the organization and made them flee...

The intervention of ICPO and the Japanese police teamed up...

In half a month, several open and covert battles shocked the whole of Japan and even the whole world.These news once occupied the headlines of all newspapers and periodicals, but I just smiled indifferently after I got these newspapers and periodicals. It seems that the organization is in decline.But from the organization's death list, I haven't seen the code name Gin yet.That fellow is too cunning, too wily, for it to happen so soon, I thought.

One noon, I was awakened by a phone ringing while I was taking a nap.

"Hi, Haibara." It was Kudo's voice.

"Well, what happened?"

"Akai has been asked to pick you up. Come to the abandoned factory in the suburbs. The remaining members of the organization are surrounded by us here. They are in a confrontation."

Packed up and walked out, Akai was already waiting outside. "Let's go. Maybe, you can see the picture of his arrest."

"Well, but before that, can you take me to another place? I still have some things to deal with..."

……

When we arrived at the abandoned building, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the rain in late autumn was pattering down.The police officers commanding the scene were either wearing raincoats or umbrellas.Akai also held up an umbrella to protect me and my child from the rain behind me.

It was a dilapidated factory building, and a distance of 400 meters outside the building was cordoned off, prohibiting entry.Everyone except the mobile team is doing their own work outside the blockade.There are reporters from various TV stations, police officers from various departments, and staff from the FBI, CIA, and ICPO. Everyone is waiting to see the final end of such a sensational organization.

"Are you here, Haibara?" Kudo greeted me in a low voice.

I ignored his greetings and asked directly, "What's going on inside?"

"According to intelligence, only a few members of the Operations Department led by Gin are left. We have wiped out all the other forces. They either died in battle, were captured, or committed suicide."

Seeing that I was silent, he added, "Don't worry, there will be a result before dark today. They can't escape. The police have already laid a net around them, no matter how capable they are, they can't escape. ..."

"So you're sure to win, detective?"

Kudo led me into the general command circle. Police officer Megure was directing the work of various departments with a walkie-talkie. Director Matsumoto was also sitting in the battle himself, making the final review of the action plan.

All departments are ready to fight. It seems that this is the last calm before the storm, the last fierce battle, and it is about to break out...
