hostage

"People should make a plan for falling into the darkness and never being able to turn into the light again. They have lived in the dark river of this world for a long time, and now they should atone for the crimes they committed. There is no need to forgive, but I hope to be freed. .”

"Miss Anna, did you see it? You just need to understand it in your heart, these things can't be made public yet."

"I know, sorry to trouble you."

Mr. Tao was found in a holiday cottage in a small coastal town. When he was found, he was already lifeless. There was an envelope next to him. In the envelope, he explained that he was the murderer who killed the HBS staff member, and that he left behind such a The meaningful sentence, the police did not go into it, and there was no trace of homicide at the scene, so the case was basically classified as suicide in fear of crime.

Anna hung up the phone, took off the headset, and turned to look at the people in this room.

The moment Anna got the news, Anna called You Ran but was not connected. The people who called the company said that You Ran was looking for Professor Xu, so Anna had no choice but to call Xu Mo.

At that time, Xu Mo was still with Vermouth, so he got all the news at the same time as Anna.

In Vertmouth's full-time inquiry expression, Xu Mo was still indifferent and calm, but only he himself understood that at that moment, his mind was full of Tao Youran's face, and he couldn't imagine, if Tao Youran What would happen to Lei Ran when she received such bad news? He couldn't forget the sad look on her father's face every time she recalled her father, and the disappointment and tears in that rainy day when she begged him for nothing.

Vermouth looked at Xu Mo who was distracted, and sighed calmly in his heart. The bright eyes that seemed to have caught the prey dimmed at this moment. He took a deep breath of the cigarette, and looked back at the opposite street. There is no one I want to follow, forget it, there is no need to act rashly for the time being.

Looking back at Xu Mo, who should have no intention of fighting, her mood is somewhat gloomy and complicated. For a long time, her feelings for the organization have also been complicated. Hongliu, or no one understands the unspeakable pain in it better than her. All the extravagant hopes in the world are fantasies that fall from the sky, and they are repaid at a violent or even painful price. Are they silver bullets?In the prophecy story, there will be a person who can directly hit the heart of the organization. Who is it?Is it him in front of her eyes, or Rye who she temporarily let go of at the moment—no, FBI Shuichi Akai, or, is it an unknown figure hidden in the bright world.

"Let's go, that's all for today."

So now, Anna finally found Xu Mo first, and when she learned that Youran was placed with Dr. Miyano by Xu Mo, she felt relieved and followed Xu Mo to Miyano Shiho's apartment.

At this moment, everyone thought that Tao Youran would break down emotionally and cry, but she didn't. She just sat silently on the sofa seat, lowered her head, and looked at the clean floor with empty eyes. , from the beginning to the end, she only asked one sentence,

"Didn't Dad leave me any words?"

Anna shook her head, Xu Mo was silent, and Miyano Shiho stood by the window, noncommittal.

In the end, Tao Youran still followed Anna like a machine, without saying a word from the beginning to the end, and never looked at Xu Mo again, but was taken away by Anna on the grounds that she needed to go back to pack her luggage and take care of Mr. Tao's affairs gone.

Seeing the back of the two leaving, Xu Mo supported the edge of the table behind him with his backhand, cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead and hair, and rolled down his cheeks, Miyano Shiho immediately stepped forward to hold him After seeing him pointing to the coat on the sofa, he walked over and took out the bottle of medicine she gave him from the pocket of the coat, poured water, poured a few pills, and let Xu Mo take it.

"What mood?" Miyano asked.

"I can't tell, I feel my heart is tightened. I don't know how to comfort her."

"The result that has been expected for a long time..."

"What did you say?"

"The organization will not let go of anyone who has a rebellious heart, even if he is very important."

"organize?"

Seeing that Xu Mo was holding a suspicious attitude, Miyano Shiho was also a little puzzled. Looking back at Xu Mo who had returned to normal, he turned around and said,

"You have been avoiding talking about this matter. I thought you knew Mr. Tao's identity."

"No, I just remembered that I saw him when I was a child, even, he was related to my parents, I thought he was from BS..."

"……He is not."

"So, he is from the Black Organization?"

"Bartende..."

"what?"

"You couldn't have noticed, right? Our code names, GIN, Rye, Vermouth... are all wine names."

"Bartende... bartender?"

"Being able to use this name is enough to prove that his status in the organization cannot be underestimated, even the person who was closest to that gentleman."

"How do you know? You should also..."

"elder sister……"

Suddenly Miyano Shiho seemed to have thought of something. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu Mo. Then he grabbed his clothes and keys and was about to run out. Seeing this, Xu Mo had no choice but to follow his footsteps and went out together, asking questions as he walked.

"what happened?"

"I said you should find a boyfriend soon..."

"It's a hint, why did I forget..."

"What hint?"

"It does not matter."

Looking for a boyfriend?Commitment to such a dark organization may not affect normal life, but it is only superficial. How can a person like her talk about hurting others with feelings? This is an extravagant hope. The sisters have understood the truth since childhood. Different expectations, maybe Rye gave Miyano Akemi different thoughts, she actually only thought of these things, but forgot what she said to her sister in the early years, love and marriage are Miyano Akemi's commitment to family and Regarding her biggest wish, even her only wish, she said that if she mentioned it one day, maybe she would be able to give Miyano Shiho her last blessing.

"If I have anything to say, do you still remember the book of pharmacology that you used to take when you were young? I always said that it should be treasured, and it is placed in this cabinet. You keep the key, and don't go there unless it is absolutely necessary. take."

"Sister, what are you talking about!"

"Who knows, maybe, one day."

Unexpectedly, this day still came.Miyano Shiho opened the cabinet left by her sister, and there was an old and yellowed "Pharmacology" with immature and distorted characters from her childhood.She flipped through it a few times, then shook out a letter, examined it carefully, and handed it to Xu Mo,

"I'm afraid this is Mr. Tao's real suicide note. It's very interesting and it's written for you."

Xu Mo walked alone on the streets of a foreign country, surrounded by people coming and going, who had nothing to do with him, or seemed to be in a different dimension from him, the sky gradually became cloudy, and the rain suddenly fell, just like so many times Ordinary who has experienced it repeatedly, despite the rain hitting his body, he is unconscious.

The streets of Tokyo are also full of pink cherry trees that were knocked down by the rain, and they fell silently, heralding that this season of spring is coming to an end, and the ubiquitous beauty carries a sense of desolation, and these have nothing to do with Xu Mo, he In this world, there is still only black and white, and the bleakness from beginning to end is never beautiful.

Mr. Tao’s last writing does not have too many detailed stories, it is concise and to the point, but it has already told him the complete past-BS and the Black Organization also had a blueprint for cooperation, but in the end they still collapsed in their respective ambitions. The one entrapment in the dark river sacrificed his parents, as well as his life that should have been smooth sailing and bright.

Taking a step back, he should have had a better childhood. However, he happened to be a rare talent selected by BS for several years. His parents tried their best, and they never let him escape the cage of BS even at the cost of their lives. .As for the Black Organization, Miyano Shiho's parents were exiled, but they disappeared from the world just like that. Whether they were dead or alive, became the biggest puzzle that could not be solved.

In the end, Mr. Tao never asked for anything more, except that he should take good care of Tao Youran—the girl he took away with the help of Xu Mo's parents—the girl that BS regarded as Queen.The so-called Queen is just a nominally important thing, no matter how noble it can be, it is just a tool that needs to be used.

However, there are still more unknown secrets waiting to be discovered. How could BS give up on this, and how could the black organization give up on this? It is inevitable that each other has grasps, complements each other, and is tied to a lifeline.

Mr. Tao said: She was once a hostage of our security organization for many years of peaceful coexistence, but she was also my beloved daughter whom I took good care of for many years.Perhaps, this is fate. It was your parents many years ago, and it will be you many years later. I don’t ask you to take care of me. You yourself, if she is the Queen, you should be the knight guarding her side, and if you are determined to let this darkness live forever, then she is your prey and your hostage, no matter what, it all depends on you...

"I originally thought that my lifelong ambition was to assist that gentleman, seeing how powerful the organization is. However, it was a peaceful and peaceful life that made me dependent on the dazzling world. Now I only hope for the girl I brought back, my My beloved daughter lives her life leisurely and carefree.”

Xu Mo tightly held the letter in his hand, and then waved his hand as if ignorant of the huge future, and the paper fluttered along with the ashen petals in his eyes, and scattered silently .

"Hey, Miss Anna, I will send you back home."

Xu Mo finally chose to hang up on Anna, so at this moment, Xu Mo appeared at the airport immigration, he looked at Tao Youran indifferently, she was silent, just looked at the person, and was unwilling to talk to her.

Thousands of words were stuck in Xu Mo's throat, and he couldn't get out of them. He just reached out and touched Youran's head, but Youran still didn't respond, neither thanked nor resisted.

"Professor Xu!"

Xu Mo, who was just about to turn to the boarding gate, heard a call, and the three of them turned their heads, and saw that the person who came was actually Miyano Shiho, followed by a burly-looking and burly person.Xu Mo remembered this person, the man who followed GIN in Miyano Shiho's laboratory, whose code name seemed to be Vodka...

Miyano Shiho glanced at Xu Mo, and seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't speak, so after a while, he could only say,

"If you're not in a hurry, I still have something to ask."

Miyano Shiho, who had always been calm, had such an obvious serious expression at this moment, which made Xu Mo suddenly realize that he might not be able to leave.Miyano Shiho sighed, seemingly helpless, she didn't want to go through this, but the instructions sent by Vermouth were basically the highest instructions, and she was still clear about this kind of understanding.

"I……"

"The following inserts an important message. The [-] million yuan robbery at the Mihua Street Bank was solved yesterday. It was finally closed by one of the suspects, Masami Hirota, who committed suicide in fear of crime. At the same time, the other two suspects were also arrested and brought to justice. It is fortunate What's more, the police have found the robbed one billion yuan through information left by Masami Hirota to witnesses."

The sound of righteous broadcast echoed in this huge space, clearing away the last ray of hope left by Miyano Shiho. She stood in shock, looking in disbelief at the big screen that had already been switched to travel information and flight information, and said no more. Say a word.

At this time, Tao Youran, who had been silent for two or three days, suddenly became sober, rushed to Miyano Shiho, grabbed the collar of her coat roughly, and asked with tears in her eyes:

"Is she, Masami Hirota, your sister? Tell me! Does my father's death have anything to do with her?!"

"Youran? Don't do this."

Xu Mo stepped forward and hugged Youran from behind, trying to distance her from Miyano Shiho.And Vodka, who had been standing blankly behind Miyano Shiho, put his shoulders on Miyano Shiho's shoulder at this time. Miyano turned his head suddenly, saw Vodka's stupid and emotionless face, and suddenly realized something, murmured,

"GIN!"

Even though he was running out of the airport, Vodka was not in a hurry, as if he had just called GIN, and then walked to the other side without any intention of catching up with Miyano Shiho.

Xu Mo looked at Tao Youran and Anna, hesitating to speak, but Tao Youran suddenly glared at him,

"You go, if you firmly believe that Dr. Miyano has nothing to do with my father, I don't need any help from you."

"Youran..."

"Go!"

"Professor Xu, I'm here at Youran, and I think you have more important things to do."

Looking at the backs of Youran and Anna leaving again, Xu Mo's footsteps seemed to be glued to the airport hall, staring blankly until he saw no more familiar figures, he concentrated his attention, and then turned and left.As soon as the door of the waiting hall opened, a gust of wind blew up, and the cherry blossoms along the street danced and fell, silently withering in the pale eyes.
