69novels Chapter 133
Chapter 133
After the mist cleared, the blond man looked at himself.
Wearing a long-sleeved shirt inside, he dried his wet hands, and then fastened the buttons of the outermost single-breasted suit vest from top to bottom.
The pure black vest tightened the waist under the white shirt, highlighting the slender figure of the blond and dark-skinned man in the mirror, with an extraordinary temperament.
The effect of the childlike face was weakened by the meticulous formal attire, like a guest about to attend an elegant ceremony, but his inexplicably quiet and indifferent handsome face showed the problem.
Due to the needs of different missions, Jiang Gu Ling has played countless roles with different identities.
He can be a waiter who wears glasses and stands out from the public, he can be a smart and capable private detective, and sometimes he can also be an amorous rich man, wandering around women, and using soft words to extract information.
Each character has a specially set behavior pattern. When he wears this identity and appears in the eyes of others, his actions cannot exceed the scope of the "set".
This is a prudence that must be followed, after all, it is never possible to think of who will watch him in the corner of negligence.
——So, who is he going to play now?
Fugu Ling asked himself.
The correct answer should have been "Toru Amuro".
A man who imitates Jing and Kenji's personalities. He treats people with gentleness and kindness. He is shrewd and capable when he does business. He used to be a private detective. Now he works as an assistant in a certain Internet cafe and Digimon training center. Today, he has received special permission and will serve as The boss's entourage went to the hotel for dinner.
Toru Amuro can doubt the people in his company, but he can't act rashly, no matter how much he hates in his heart, he still has to smile.
Rei Fuguya and Amuro have only suspicion in common on the transparent surface. The former's character is absolutely restless, not just arrogant. In order to maximize his benefits, he doesn't mind taking harsh measures.
However, this time there seems to be no need to "act".
Because Gen Ezaki knows "everything" about him.
Under Amuro Toru's unassuming shell is Fuguya Rei, a wolfhound with bared fangs.
Even though someone used his friend as a threat and forcibly fastened a collar around his neck, this wolf still had fierce eyes, and could break free at any time and pounce on it to swallow the hot, bright red blood.
Ezaki Yuanming knew this, but still turned a deaf ear to it, and gave him a "chance to try" pitifully.
That man wanted to force him from Amuro Toru back to Fugu Rei, struggling with his original unruly face.
"you succeeded."
Jiang Gu Ling said, his eyes became deeper and deeper.
Tonight, he will not appear as "Toru Amuro", but as the real "Rei Fuguya" - a man who is threatened and cannot give in to anger and forbearance.
Quietly staring at the grey-purple pupils reflected in the mirror for a long time, the blond man finally moved.
He picked up the bow tie that was placed aside, and tied the bow tie under the collar impartially. His movements were slow but meticulous, as if he had really chosen to obey, and he put on the collar of shame for himself.
His right hand was inserted obliquely into the scattered forehead hair, most of the bangs were combed back casually with his fingers, and shaped with pomade, only a little blond hair was still scattered in front of the left eye.
With just a few changes, he took a step back from being a distinguished guest and becoming a follower more in line with the "set".
"But you still can't do it."
After finishing speaking in a low voice, Jiang Gu Ling withdrew his suddenly indifferent eyes.
He put on pure white and clean gloves on both hands, took the car keys and left.
Half an hour later, the white Mazda stopped at the agreed place at the appointed time.
Jiang Gu Ling glanced to the right, got out of the car without hesitation, and walked to the door on the other side.
He arrived on time, and the door of the villa in front of him also opened on time, and the person who was to be picked up fell into view at the same time.
I don't know if it was intentional, but the lights in the courtyard of the villa were not turned on, only the street lights from the street behind us shone in the distance.
The red-haired man seemed to come from the depths of darkness, his shadow swallowed by the shadows covering the ground.
Jiang Gu Ling raised his head slightly at the bottom of the steps outside the door, staring intently at the man and stopped on the steps.
Perhaps because of the emphasis on the banquet, the man didn't wear his favorite white trench coat tonight, but changed into a black suit, and the tie that was tied up straight was also pure black, the most concise style.
Furutani Rei's gaze first glanced at his hands tightly wrapped in black gloves, then other things including the smile, and finally the man's dark but irrepressible red.
Red hair and red eyes, a face that was bright one moment, but pale in the next.
From the turbulent gaze of the undercurrent for only a few seconds, Jiang Guling realized one thing.
The "Jing Gu Ling" that he wove in combination with reality, which is almost indistinguishable from himself, is still useless.
He didn't intend to try to save the friend who was taken away, but to try to solve the root cause directly-this dark heart that was about to move had long been noticed by the red-haired man.
For a very short trance, Jiang Gu Ling thought that he was looking at his dead friend, who was looking at him with angry, helpless, and surprisingly tolerant eyes.
As if looking at a hopeless fool.
As if saying to that idiot: Do you have to go this way?Since you can't listen to advice, that's fine.
—Do whatever you want with me, as long as you can.
……
It's just such a naive misinterpretation.
Because Jiang Qiyuan's "tolerance" to him will only be based on "games".
Jiang Gu Ling grasped the essence of the other party's intentions. It is nothing more than that the other party wants to play a bigger "game". He can use all kinds of means to achieve his goal, and the other party will accept his resistance at a very close distance... No, challenge.
"Amuro-kun."
The man Shi Shiran walked in front of him, and the darkness was temporarily left behind.
"I can feel your serious attitude. This outfit is pretty good." The red-haired man looked at him with a relaxed tone, and looked at him dignifiedly. "Well, the details are also perfect, except for one thing...your bow tie is crooked."
He stretched out his hand very naturally, as if he really wanted to adjust the position of the bow tie for him.
Putting aside what was in his mind, the expression on Jiang Gu Ling's face did not change at all. Instead, he calmly stood upright and let Jiang Qiyuan's fingers touch his bow tie. Slight left.
Two men of equal height faced each other, so close together that you could catch a glimpse of each other's face without lifting your eyes.
"Thank you, Mr. Ezaki." Furutani Rei said polite words, but his aggressive edge was revealed. He grabbed Jiang Qiyuan's hand and used the strength to break his wrist. "Your tie is crooked too. Alright, let me adjust it for you, thank you."
He just grabbed it and then let go, Furutani Zero didn't wait for Gen Ezaki to open his mouth, he pulled out the other party's tie and untied it twice, leaving only the last shallow knot around the man's neck.
Pulling the man's obstructive braids back, he gripped the two ends of the tie. As long as he exerted force with both hands at the same time, the knot would be instantly tightened, strangling the breath of the calm-looking man in front of him.
Sure enough, the tie began to tighten little by little, and the scope for breathing gradually narrowed.
The depression representing suffocation seemed to follow the blond man's cold eyes and wrap around the fair neck.
"..."
Jiang Qiyuan's reddish eyelashes did not tremble, his red pupils were clear, and the corners of his lips curved slightly with confidence.
He even raised his chin in the little safe space left, and his Adam's apple seemed to inadvertently rub against the tie that was about to hug him tightly: "Does it take so long to hit hard?"
Jiang Gu Ling, who was locked by scarlet eyes, would not make a move, nor did he dare to do it.
Therefore, Jiang Gu Ling, who really doesn't know how to do it now, also laughed.
If this is the "indulgence" that Mr. Ezaki voluntarily bears the consequences and must give him, then why did he refuse?I gladly accept it.
"Ah, sorry, I suddenly remembered that I don't know how to tie a bow tie. Mr. Ezaki should do it by himself."
"It's an insincere lie, okay, I'll pretend to believe it."
"The arrival time stated on the invitation letter is seven o'clock tonight, and we still have half an hour."
Jiang Gu Ling didn't look embarrassed at all, as if the previous topic never came up, he turned around, like a polite waiter, he took the initiative to open the door for the man.
"Please, Mr. Ezaki."
When Jiang Gu Ling said that, what he was thinking in his mind was how to tear off the collar around his neck and put it on that smooth neck.
"I'm really flattered."
When Jiang Qiyuan and Yuan Qianmu said this, what he was thinking in his heart were those things that someone thought were misunderstood. There was not much helplessness and connivance. What kind of tricks did you come up with?
Although the truth cannot be said to be completely similar to what police officer Jiang Gu imagined, it can only have nothing to do with it, but when two men who are equally arrogant and self-conscious collide, things will become so troublesome, which is an inevitable outcome.
They both knew what the other was trying to do—Let's forget Jiang Gu Ling, and let this idiot gallop on the road with only one person for a while.
Tonight's script is only one of the purposes of targeting the hard-headed police officer Jianggu. A person like Qian Mu who finds it troublesome suddenly has nothing to do to attend some banquet. Of course, he is rushing to kill three birds with one stone.
After laying the groundwork for such a long drama, it's finally time for the opening.
Qian Mu ignored the car door Jiang Gu Ling opened for him, walked to the other side, opened the door, and sat safely directly behind the driver's seat.
Jiang Gu Ling who was slapped in the face paused invisibly, the other party's habit of going straight to that position reminded him again...
Of course, this little trick is not enough to make him waver again.
He closed the car door as if nothing had happened, and returned to the driver's seat by himself, as if conscientiously acting as an accompanying assistant and driver.
During the journey, Jiang Gu Ling didn't say a word, and the man sitting behind him closed his eyes and rested his mind the whole time, and also ignored him.
Silence lasted until the last few seconds before getting out of the car.
"I'll ask you again."
The red-haired man suddenly said, "Are you sure you want to move on?"
Jiang Gu Ling inexplicably captured a strange...a bit of illogical abruptness from this question.
But at this time, he didn't know the reason, thinking that this was Jiang Qiyuan's unpredictable capriciousness, and said directly with sarcasm: "Of course, I don't think I have a chance to go back on my word."
What's more, it is impossible for him to repent if he hits his head and bleeds.
The man didn't seem to hear this sentence, and said lightly: "Then be prepared, most of the people in the venue have unfriendly intentions."
"Oh, no surprise."
Everyone who is about to see is almost an enemy - that's probably what Gen Ezaki meant.
Jiang Guling thought it was funny, and specially reminded him of this point, it was superfluous.Just because Jiang Qiyuan is here, the eyes of the black organization are indispensable all around, and he will not be surprised if there is a trap inside.
Gen Ezaki stopped talking, and Rei Furuya parked the car at the main entrance of the hotel.
This splendid and luxurious hotel is the private property of one of the organizers of this banquet. It is usually not open to ordinary guests, and is only used for internal gatherings and banquets for distinguished guests from time to time.
The organizer is a wealthy family, and it is especially low-key outside, but the pharmaceutical company under the family name is the largest pharmaceutical group in the country before Jiang Qiyuan became famous, and it has influence all over the world.
In fact, if Rei Fuguya hadn't investigated carefully for this dinner party, he would never have imagined that behind the famous Karasuma Group, there was the shadow of that family.
The earliest person in charge of the Karasuma Group has never appeared in the public eye. The person in charge currently registered on the company information is not Karasuma, but [source].
That's right, it was Yuan Qianmu's family.
In the past, they always joked that Yuan Qianmu, a young master from a wealthy family, came to study in the police academy, and they probably chose to take on the difficult challenge because he didn't want to lie flat and inherit the family fortune.
The fact is that Yuanqianmu really has a family property to inherit. If he is still alive, not to mention anything else, the Karasuma Group will definitely belong to him, and there will be another young and promising medical company president...
——Will there be one more, or will there be only this one?
Furutani Rei couldn't control the momentary loss of consciousness.
He shouldn't be distracted by the hopeless "possibility" at this moment, the man who is dedicated to shaking him is right behind him, he doesn't know when to open his eyes, silently looking at the rearview mirror.
Jiang Guling hid his flaws well, just like Yuan Qianmu taught him.
He unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car first, bathed in the bright daytime lights outside the hotel, and opened the door for the man who was sitting still.
When the red-haired man stepped out of the car with one foot, one raised his eyes and the other lowered his eyes, they met their eyes again.
"Please."
Jiang Gu Ling retracted his gaze, turned sideways politely, and put one hand on the roof of the car.
The hotel doorman ushered them in and parked for them. Qian Mu had already bowed out of the car and stood still under the night sky. The edge of his suit seemed to be inlaid with a week of gold rims.
As he walked past the blond man, he said softly, "Remember what I said."
"..."
"I will keep it in my heart."
Jiang Gu Ling followed half a step behind him, and his response was also low and inaudible, as if his canine teeth were restlessly pressed against the back of his neck: "I look forward to the moment when you show a surprised expression."
"Ah."
Laughing inexplicably, Qian Mu ignored the blackened police dog following him, and led them into the banquet venue.
……
"Lan Lanlan! Look over there! Is that handsome guy who came in behind Mr. Ezaki?"
Sonoko Suzuki, who was wearing an evening gown, wiped her eyes and poked her best friend in disbelief: "It looks like red hair from a distance, it should be him? The handsome blond guy next to him——Wow, it's Mr. Amuro! Come together!"
"Mr. Ezaki and Mr. Amuro? Ah, really." Mao Lilan followed her and looked back, and saw the two figures who had just entered the hall at a glance. The faces were not clear, but the color matching was clear. The owner and assistant brother of the Internet cafe they knew.
Mao Lilan was surprised, but also a little surprised: "Didn't Mr. Jiang Qi say that he never participated in such activities? I thought he would not come."
"Mr. Jiangzaki has a super personality at first glance. He doesn't like the type of people who talk about business and deal with people. Huh, I know. He didn't talk to his parents when he came. It must be for the charity that will start later. I made an exception to participate in the auction."
Suzuki Sonoko quickly deduced a reasonable conclusion, and was moved by his own conclusion: "Come here on a special trip to show love, and keep a low profile so that you don't want to be discovered by others. Mr. Ezaki is so kind... So Conan! Be here obediently Sit down, don't go around Mr. Ezaki and Mr. Amuro!"
The famous detective who wanted to sneak away was caught on the spot, which was very embarrassing for a while.
Edogawa Conan tried to explain his behavior, for example, he hadn't seen Brother Yuan for a long time, and he missed Brother Yuan very much, but he just planned to go over to say hello, and promised not to cause trouble for Brother Yuan who wanted to keep a low profile——
"No! Okay! There are so many people in the venue, what should you do if you run away in the blink of an eye?"
"Conan, don't worry, we'll greet Mr. Ezaki and Mr. Amuro after the auction is over."
After Lan Du said that, what else could Edogawa Conan say, he could only suppress his itch, and reluctantly sat back in his seat in the auction venue.
Ever since Gen Ezaki announced the formula of the targeted leukemia drug for free, research institutes around the world are taking action. Among them, the research institute under the name of the Karasuma Group was the first to achieve gratifying success. The Karasuma Group immediately announced that it had reached an agreement with President Ezaki. There will be close cooperation.
As soon as the news was announced, the Suzuki Foundation was not far behind, and became another reliable partner of President Ezaki, promoting the mass production of targeted drugs as soon as possible to benefit the public.
The cooperation has shown initial results so far, and the first two leaders have reaped huge benefits, so they should celebrate anyway, so there is today's dinner.
The charity auction is an important part of the dinner. The auction items are voluntarily provided by the guests participating in the banquet. The funds raised will be used to support leukemia children from impoverished families and help the weak and small groups get rid of the suffering of the disease as soon as possible.
The president of the Karasuma Group, Mr. Suzuki, the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation, and his wife both came to the banquet and took the lead in offering the auction items. The atmosphere at the scene was very lively.
Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan are friends brought by Miss Suzuki to watch the fun. Originally, the famous detective Mori Kogoro would also appear here, but Mori Detective was banned from drinking by his daughter.
Edogawa Conan, who also felt bored when he went out, did not expect that he really came to the right place this time.
Although this banquet was closely related to Jiang Qiyuan, he didn't think he would see Jiang Qiyuan himself here, because Mao Lilan had already said that Jiang Qiyuan didn't like to show his face.
Who knew that Ezaki Genshin was here, and brought along an even more unexpected Mr. Amuro.
Boss Ezaki, who is suspected to have a deep connection with the black organization, and Mr. Amuro, who is clearly a policeman and suspected to be investigating Gen Ezaki with his identity hidden—the two seem to get together harmoniously.
The famous detective felt that there was a lot of information hidden in this scene, and something big might happen tonight.
It's just that he couldn't guess what big event it would be, and a faint premonition told him that it might have something to do with the organization...
Then again, does Boss Ezaki seem to want to keep a low profile?It is clear that even if he runs over, it will not be affected.
Edogawa Conan silently slandered, and what he complained about was also true.
After the red-haired man and his blond-haired assistant stepped into the venue, they found a corner and sat down.
Although they have never talked to anyone, they are enough to have a sense of presence just by appearing in the sight of everyone. After all, some people are born with an outstanding bearing to capture the sight of others silently.
More than two-thirds of the guests' eyes fell on those two people, and the remaining one-third belonged to people who hadn't had time to discover it yet.
President Minamoto and Chairman Suzuki, who were talking at the front, stopped talking and looked back at the same time.
President Minamoto is a middle-aged man in his fifties. When he first saw those two, his reaction was exactly the same as that of Chairman Suzuki next to him. He was slightly puzzled by accident, and it was not like "knowing" them. the appearance of a certain person.
Minute details did not escape the blond man's eyes.
The response is wrong.
The president of Yuan may not know Yuan Jiangzaki, but it is absolutely impossible not to know Yuan Qianmu.
He is the cousin of the current patriarch of the Yuan family. In terms of blood relationship, he is the relative of Yuan Qianmu. With Yuan Qianmu's status in the Yuan family, even if not everyone has seen him, this level of Family members must have met him in theory.
But at that moment, President Yuan saw Jiang Qiyuan who looked exactly like Yuan Qianmu, as if he was a stranger to someone he met for the first time.
Is it true that I have never seen it, or is it acting?
The valley zero is biased towards the latter.
From the moment he was exposed to the light, he began to play an obedient and easy-to-use assistant and bodyguard who didn't talk too much, and acted as a foil for Gen Ezaki, perfectly blocking his inner thoughts.
It's just that the other party didn't intend to keep him quiet all the time.
"Amuro-kun, until the auction starts, I don't want to be disturbed."
Putting the words aside, this guy started to close his eyes again and rested his mind, completely ignoring that there were people walking towards this side, and his intention to come and talk to him was clear.
Jiang Gu Ling clenched his fists calmly, and with a smile that didn't show any anger, he entered the Amuro Toru mode with one click, turning into a human-shaped iron wall, and only relying on himself to dispel other people's enthusiasm for talking.
He had been busy for a long time, and he was relaxed at first, but when he thought that he was working hard for the peace of his enemy, he suddenly felt extremely depressed, and he was seven points more tired than being an undercover agent under Gin's nose.
When he looked around, he seemed to see a boy in glasses who was looking forward to it.
Jiang Gu Ling looked away as usual, pretending he didn't see it.
Skipping the opening part that neither of them cared about, the charity auction finally officially started.
The red-haired man said that he only rested until the auction started. However, it had been a long time since the auction started, and he still didn't raise his eyes to look at the display stand at the front.
Most of the auction items donated by guests are personal collections, mostly jewelry and artworks, and there are also some calligraphy and painting works created by individuals. Not only Gen Ezaki is not interested, but Rei Fuguya only pays attention to it.
He suspected that Jiang Qiyuan was waiting for something, so he had to pay attention if he was not interested, but the unexpected "thing" didn't appear until the auction was about to end.
In an inexplicably awkward moment of dumbness, Qian Mu finally raised his eyes and looked at the projection that enlarged and displayed the items in front of him.
Fugu Ling's sight settled faster than his.
In the gray-purple eyes of the blond man, there was a moment of invisible astonishment and anger.
It was a pair of art collections with a rather peculiar style.
Some are similar to glass, but more transparent than glass. After special processing, they are carved into the shape of human eyeballs. The color of the pupils is like a mixture of purple and blue, plus a layer of deep light gray.
If you can appreciate this style, this is undoubtedly a particularly beautiful work of art.
The auction host is enthusiastically introducing that this is President Yuan's most satisfying collection recently, and he hopes to be appreciated by those who are destined...
"..."
"How much do you think I will pay for these beautiful eyes?"
"...?!"
Jiang Gu Ling restrained himself from turning his head slowly, but as far as he could see, the red-haired man was still staring straight ahead, and the meaning of the unchanged expression for a long time was unclear.
Whether or not they really appreciate the beauty of eyeball art, some people have started putting up placards to offer it.
The counting sounds intermittently sounded, at this moment, Qian Mu turned his head, and his eyes pierced into the cold pupils of the nearby lurking storm.
Compared with the icy and cold objects on the stage, these gray-purple eyes are more lively and warm, but because they have seen the brilliance and decay of life, the grayness deep in the pupils has accumulated too much depression and pain, beautiful It was covered with dust.
--Can not look.
Jiang Gu Ling heard a rapid sound, as if the alarm bells were ringing all over his body and even in the depths of his soul.
He couldn't see what Jiang Qiyuan looked like in his eyes.
No, what he couldn't see was the red-haired man's resemblance to his friend—why, the more he looked at the red eyes, the more he felt the same.
In the eyes of this pair of [gentleness] that existed for no reason, he was shaken by just a few moments.
Jiang Gu Ling's heart skipped half a beat at the moment when he was straightening out his thoughts.
He didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Qiyuan's words at all, making his "eyes" into a collection, isn't this man a threat to him?How could it not be?
He told himself not to be confused and not to be swayed, Jiang Qiyuan's voice gradually spread: "[-] million US dollars. This unique work of art is very suitable for me."
The whole place was silent.
Jiang Guling was almost stunned, listening to the same sluggish host hurriedly announcing that the bid was successful and it belonged to this gentleman.
However, at this moment-
"Hello? Hey, can you hear me. I'm sorry to interrupt, but there is an urgent matter that requires you to get out of the way."
The host suddenly disappeared, and another unfamiliar voice echoed in the venue. The background sound was the sudden explosion of gunfire outside the door.
"Among you, there is a man named Gen Ezaki, right?"
"For the good of everyone and for yourself, I suggest that you stand up and don't waste each other's time."
"Okay, I'll count to three."
"three--"
"two--"
"........."
It has not yet reached "one", and Jiang Qiyuan has not moved yet.
The expression of Jiang Guling, an insignificant person, changed.
