Miyano Akemi was walking on the street with a few close friends. A group of girls were laughing and laughing, taking photos in the distance from time to time, or taking selfies with their best friends on their arms. It took two hours to walk the entire street.
It is now May, which is the transitional stage from spring to summer. Both the temperature and the weather are quite suitable for travel.
Miyano Akemi had a smile on her face, but she was worried about another thing: she had just received an email from the organization while they were eating.
[Tomorrow at 9 a.m., go to Sakai-cho 5-chome No. 11.——gin]
She learned from Miyano Shiho that Gin would come to Hokkaido recently, but she didn't expect that he would contact her. He had always looked down on her and thought she was just a useless vase.
The fact is indeed the case, she can't do the organization's tasks at all, and she can't get used to the organization's style.
【What do you need me to do?】
Then Gin didn't reply to her email, but called her directly. She apologized to her friends and walked to a quiet place with few people before picking up.
"Too slow." came Gin's cold voice.
"My friends and I were in the shopping street. There were many people nearby. It took me a while to find a place where I could answer the phone." Miyano Akemi forced herself to calm down and stop her voice from shaking and weakening her momentum. "What do you want me to do?"
Gin didn't say much. It was common knowledge among the lower-level members to avoid crowds and answer phone calls from the organization. He continued to pester him: "I'm just going to ask a guy who borrowed money and didn't repay it to collect debts."
Miyano Akemi was stunned and listened to Gin who was opposite her continue speaking.
"If it weren't for someone causing trouble at the training ground and many people being cleared out, this task shouldn't have been yours." His words were very rude. "I don't expect you to complete such a difficult task. You can only do it."
It’s such a trivial matter. You are Shirley’s sister after all, so keeping you can be of some use.”
"Someone will go with you. Pay attention to your mobile phone and don't miss the contact with the other party."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Miyano Akemi any more opportunities to ask.
…
Miyano Akemi accidentally thought too much, and it wasn't until her friend pulled her that she came back to her senses.
"Mingmei, what are you thinking about?" Her friend looked at her strangely, "You said you came here to pick out gifts."
They are now standing in front of Kitaichi Glass Building No. 3, which is the most famous glass shop in Otaru City.
Before she came to Hokkaido, she had planned to bring gifts to her younger sister and Angstra. In addition to specialty snacks, she also wanted to buy the famous glass products here for them. Angstra did not refuse the dolls at the time, and was very interested in the other children.
Ornaments should also be non-repellent.

Akai Shuichi was walking on the street next to the Otaru Canal. He was rushing to the temporary residence of Morohoshi's father.
Otaru is located in the west of Hokkaido. It is a port city facing mountains on three sides. Because of the many slopes in the city, it is called "Slope City". He lived in Japan for several years in the past and heard his sister talk about it. Every winter, the people here
The stores will jointly hold winter activities to attract more tourists.
It's the off-season for tourism, and there aren't many tourists around. Those few who are concentrated on the bridge take photos of the canal, and no one notices Shuichi Akai hurriedly walking nearby.
The FBI people will leave Japan completely in a few days, and finding the location of Morohoshi's father may be the last thing they do for him before leaving.
Hoover was dead, and the CIA insisted that he had something in his heart, and the two sides were quarreling fiercely. The CIA happened to be in charge of external affairs, and the FBI, which they were keeping a close eye on, would not be able to come to Japan again in the short term, at least within a year or two.
.
Akai Shuichi always felt that there was something strange about this matter and wanted to investigate it, but now he had more important things to do.
There are many high-rise buildings in Tokyo and Osaka, but at first glance Otaru saw only low-rise houses. He quickly found a dilapidated two-story apartment building.
Akai Shuichi crushed his cigarette butts in a nearby trash can. On the way here, he was sure that no one was following him. He checked the house number again and went up the stairs next to it.
There was no one nearby. Several lights in the corridor were broken and the vision was dim and unclear. Shuichi Akai stood in front of a door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, waiting patiently.
The FBI people not only found the whereabouts of Morohoshi's father, but also obtained his contact information. Before he came, the real Morohoshi and his father explained the situation to him on the phone, but the old gentleman rejected him
The invitation to go to the United States even hung up the phone directly.
Akai Shuichi came here to persuade him again. As for what to do with the illegal organization that forced the Morohoshi family, he would find a way. The FBI allocated a lot of funds to him. If it is not enough, he can apply again.
He waited for about a minute before he heard slow footsteps coming from the door and the door opened.
A man with half-white hair stood there. He was much shorter than Shuichi Akai, with his head half lowered, and he cautiously faced the stranger outside the door.
"...Is this the person Ada said? Come in."
The man who lost his wife and whose son is far away in the United States looks quite haggard. Information shows that he has just turned fifty this year, and his rickety appearance looks more like an old man.
Out of professional habit, Akai Shuichi subconsciously looked at the situation inside after opening the door.
There was no sound at all, not even the lights were turned on, and the room was dark. Through the lights in the corridor, he could vaguely see tables and chairs lying on the ground inside, and there was still some smell of blood in the air.
This unusual situation made Akai Shuichi alert. Just as he was about to ask, the man in front of him finally raised his head, leaving him speechless for an instant——
Where the man's eyes used to be, there were only two blurry holes left. There was no bleeding, and the wounds had scabbed over, but they were still so hideous that people couldn't look straight at them.
"..."
Shuichi Akai has seen a lot of disgusting wounds in the past few years as an FBI agent. He is especially familiar with gunshot wounds and knife wounds. He soon realized how such injuries were caused. Someone took a knife and gouged out his eyes.
.
"Did a debt collector do it?" After a while, he asked aloud, his voice cold and stern.
The man's body shook violently, then nodded.
Akai Shuichi was not in a hurry to go in. He looked around first. The apartment here was very shabby, and there were not many people who would rent the house here. He had not seen other neighbors since entering the apartment building. When he saw no one nearby, he stretched out his hand.
He supported Mr. Zhu Xing's body and returned to the room, closing the door behind him.
He turned on the light and took a thorough look at the situation inside the house. It had just been smashed up not long ago.
"You wait here, I'll go clean it up."
Akai Shuichi said gentle and considerate words, but his hand took out the gun hidden in his arms.
On the one hand, he really can't bear to let blind people do these things. On the other hand, he also has to beware of traps - using vulnerable groups as temptations to lead agents into traps. This is something that many criminals will do.
, when performing a confidential mission in an unfamiliar place, it is always right to be careful.
Akai Shuichi checked the room vigilantly. The apartment was not big, so he completed the inspection in a short time. He picked up the fallen tables and chairs, cleared a place where people could sit, and then helped Mr. Morohoshi sit down.
.
"Thank you." Mr. Zhuxing thanked him tremblingly.
Akai Hidemoto originally wanted to persuade him to go to the United States to reunite with his son. It happened that his colleagues from the FBI were going back in the next few days, so they could take him with them. When the words came to his lips, it turned into another problem.
"Who are you asking about the debt?"
Since Morohoshi was young at the time and had been wandering in the United States for several years, he could not tell who his family owed the loan shark. At first, Shuichi Akai thought it was just an ordinary illegal company. At most, he would call and threaten or come to harass him.
, will not do any excessive personal harm, it seems now...
"That's a..." Mr. Zhuxing's voice couldn't stop shaking, "...a crow-like, black organization."
"...?"
Akai Shuichi couldn't help but frown, he vaguely felt that this description was very familiar.
