Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

After playing with Ai Haibara for a while at Dr. Agasa's house, Conan was coaxed to bed at around ten o'clock: "Okay, you have to go to school tomorrow, I'm going home."

"...Can't you come out during this period of time?" Conan pulled Nagai Hikaru's hand.

"Okay, do you still want me to tell you a bedtime story?" Nagai Mitsuru tapped his head.

"But you came to Tokyo, but you didn't come to play with us."

"Because I've been really busy lately." Nagai Hikaru explained, "Don't think too much and get some sleep."

After walking out of Dr. Agasa's house, Nagai Mitsuru looked at his mobile phone, sighed helplessly, walked to the next door, took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

"Okay, I'm here. What do you want from me?" After entering Kudo's house, Nagai Hikaru said impatiently, "If you say it's nothing serious, I'll be angry."

"I want to ask you something. Are you not interested in the last video at all? For example, where did it come from and what on earth is the purpose of cloning you?" Akai Shuichi crossed his arms, leaned against the door of the study and smiled.

"Why don't you change your appearance?"

"Which face do you prefer?"

Nagai Hikaru clicked his tongue and said, "No matter which face you show, you're annoying."

"How sad. When we were little you said I was a handsome guy who was suitable for long hair."

"Who hasn't had a childhood when they were blind and met some bastards?" Nagai Hikaru walked past him into the study and sat on the chair in front of the desk. "Okay, stop talking nonsense. What do you want to show me? The same type of video as last time?"

"I want to ask, how much do you know about Calvados?"

"Why should I tell you?" Nagai Mitsuru raised his right leg, placed it on his left leg, and stood it up.

"Let's exchange information. Is there anything you want to know?"

"I'm not interested in you at all." Nagai Hikaru glanced at Akai Shuichi and saw him light a cigarette, frowning slightly, "You don't smoke when you're against Subaru."

"You hate people smoking?"

Nagai Hikaru shook his head.

"Yeah, Gin is a heavy smoker. If you don't like smoking, you'll be in trouble." Akai Shuichi smiled, holding a cigarette and adjusting his hair, "Don't you want to know the news about the last video?"

"...What do you know?" Nagai Mitsuru placed his elbows on the armrests of the table and chair, supporting his chin with the back of his hands.

Akai Shuichi leaned on the edge of the desk and took a puff of cigarette: "Video shooting location, etc."

"The place has been burned down. Do you think I know nothing about it?"

"Do you know who burned it?"

"There are only a few people in the action team in Tokyo." Nagai Hikaru raised his other hand and picked his nails. "Most likely it's Brother Jin."

"Calvados, do you know who saved him?"

Nagai Hikaru paused as he was picking his nails.

"It seems you know." Akai Shuichi smiled and shook the ashes into the ashtray.

"So what?" Nagai Hikaru said impatiently, "I think my life is good now, I don't need you to point fingers at me."

"Well, it seems that you are not worried about your future." Akai Shuichi took another puff of cigarette and looked at Nagai Hikaru with a smile, "As long as it doesn't involve Shinichi and Xiaolan, you don't care."

Nagai Hikaru's eyes turned stern as he looked at Akai Shuichi: "If you want to threaten me with them, then you have to make some other preparations."

"I told you, I want to live in peace with you. We are even with each other for what happened before." Akai Shuichi blew out white smoke. "You just want to maintain the status quo, right? As long as their safety is guaranteed, nothing else matters."

"What exactly do you want to say by calling me here today?" Nagai Mitsuru glanced at the ashtray and decided to throw that thing at him if he continued to talk nonsense instead of getting down to business.

Akai Shuichi took another puff of his cigarette, seemingly thinking about whether to continue.

Nagai Hikaru's hand slowly moved towards the ashtray. When it was about to touch the ashtray, Akai Shuichi sighed and reached out to hold Nagai Hikaru's hand: "Bordeaux, is that your code name?"

"Let go."

"Tell me the truth, did you kill Miyano Akemi?"

Nagai Hikaru's hand, which was about to reach for the ashtray, stopped. He looked up at Akai Shuichi in surprise: "What do you know? ... No, you looked at the mission completion list? You can actually see the mission completion list? Someone in the action team is an undercover agent? FBI?"

Shuichi Akai stood behind Hikaru Nagai, clasped his hand around the ashtray, moved it a bit, clasped his five fingers between his fingers, and then lifted Hikaru Nagai's hand up: "I do want to live in peace with you, but please tell me, Miyano Akemi, did you kill him?"

"…I was the one who confirmed his death." Nagai Mitsuru turned his face away.

"Gin? You were there?" The cigarette in Shuichi Akai's other hand was almost burnt out.

"That was my birthday." Nagai Hikaru suddenly laughed and looked up at Akai Shuichi's face standing behind his chair. "That was the birthday present that Brother Jin gave me."

Akai Shuichi's pupils shrank slightly, and he let go of Nagai Hikaru's hand.

"So what do you think of Shiho now..."

"Yes! I watched her sister die! Go tell her!" As soon as Nagai Mitsuru's hands were free, he stood up immediately, turned around and yelled at Akai Shuichi, "Tell her that I was an accomplice who watched her sister die! I'm a bastard who killed people without a care in the organization!"

"……That was not what I meant."

"Are you torturing me? Asking me why I don't want to fight against the organization with you? Why I am only willing to maintain the status quo? Now you should have guessed the reason, right? Because I'm useless! Because I'm timid! Because I don't even have the courage to run!" Nagai Mitsuru's voice gradually lowered from the loud roar at the beginning.

"I'm different from your kind-hearted girlfriend. She wants to leave the organization and take her sister to find you as her salvation. But I just want to be obedient and live."

Akai Shuichi sighed and put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray: "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"I won't force you to do anything against your will. And I won't tell Shiho and the others about this." Akai Shuichi raised his hand and wiped away the tears on Nagai Hikaru's face with his fingers, "So don't cry, your makeup will be ruined."

Nagai Hikaru sniffed: "No way, it's waterproof."

"Will waterproof lipstick also leave marks?" Akai Shuichi smiled slightly.

Nagai Hikaru glanced at Akai Shuichi's mouth, his face turned red, and he said harshly: "Rogue!"

"You stopped crying quickly." Akai Shuichi laughed, "I thought you were going to kiss me if you kept crying to stop."

Nagai Mitsuru turned around and wanted to hit the person with an ashtray, but when he saw the ashes and cigarette butts in the ashtray, he really didn't want to pour out the garbage before hitting the person because it was a bit dirty.

Just this moment of hesitation, Akai Shuichi who was watching from behind laughed out loud again: "You... are really interesting."

"Why are you so annoying?" Nagai Mitsuru took out a handkerchief from his small bag and wiped his face.

Good guys don't want to be bad guys, but bad guys can't be completely cruel for fear of getting their hands dirty.

Akai Shuichi lowered his head and smiled for a while: He happened to be doing well in the organization, and was able to find a protective umbrella for himself. He was also lucky enough to have a good father.

And Mingmei...

Akai Shuichi covered his eyes with a smile and supported himself on the desk with his other hand.

Nagai Mitsuru was puzzled by Akai Shuichi's smile and felt a little uneasy. He slowly walked around the desk with a handkerchief and wanted to go out.

"Do you know? James is dead." Shuichi Akai said suddenly.

"James?"

"The bastard who dragged me into the FBI." Shuichi Akai put down his hands that were covering his eyes, took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

"Oh... my condolences?" Nagai Mitsuru asked blankly.

"He told me that if I wanted to investigate my father's death, I could use the power of the FBI, and that's how I joined the FBI." Akai Shuichi blew out white smoke rings, "Now he died trying to save others. It's really troublesome. The cause of my father's death hasn't been investigated yet, and he sacrificed himself so irresponsibly."

Nagai Hikaru still has some emotional intelligence. He noticed Akai Shuichi's expression and passed the handkerchief across the table: "Do you want to cry? Come, you can wipe it."

"You just blew your nose."

"I didn't!" Nagai's bald head was bulging with veins, feeling that he had been too soft-hearted.

"Look, I also told you a secret of mine. So we're even, fifty-fifty." Akai Shuichi held the cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"What kind of secret is this?" Nagai said angrily, "And it has nothing to do with me."

"This is the secret of why I joined the organization as an undercover agent." Akai Shuichi adjusted his hair, "So what do you want to know?"

"I'm not interested in your affairs at all." Nagai Mitsuru waved the handkerchief in his hand.

"Really? Bordeaux."

"...How did you know this code name?" Nagai Hikaru glared at Akai Shuichi.

"Didn't you say you're not interested in me?" Akai Shuichi lowered his head and took another puff of his cigarette.

"..." Nagai Hikaru scratched his hair, feeling that he was being teased again, "So annoying, do you think you're funny?"

"No, it's just that your changing expressions are so cute."

"...I get praised every day. Don't think I'll be nice to you just because you praise me casually." Nagai Mitsuru looked at Akai Shuichi.

"Sorry, it's the truth." Akai Shuichi laughed again, "But these are the only secrets I can tell you. The others cannot be told."

Nagai Hikaru raised his eyebrows and curled his lips: "Then tell me about your sister, that Shira?"

"I've only met her a few times, and I might not be as familiar with her as you are." Akai Shuichi shrugged.

"Where is that younger brother? Where is he now? The one who fell into the trap I dug." Nagai Mitsuru asked, leaning on the desk and supporting his face.

"Hideyoshi? Have you seen him?"

"what?"

"Taikoku Meijin." Akai Shuichi flicked the ash into the ashtray. "He used to be the seven-time champion, but recently he's dropped back to six."

"Hideyoshi Haneda? No? You three siblings each have a surname?" Nagai Mitsuru counted with his fingers.

"It was a coincidence." Akai Shuichi looked down at Nagai Hikaru who was lying on the table. "It's too complicated to explain the details."

"Then what else can you say?" Nagai Mitsuru supported his chin and looked up at Akai Shuichi.

"No more. Well, we've talked enough tonight. It's time for you to go home, right?" Akai Shuichi picked up a cigarette and knocked on the table.

"Ah, do you think I'm so easy to summon and dismiss?"

"That Hamura is still waiting outside, right? Isn't he supervising you?"

"No way!" Nagai Mitsuru stood up and put his hands on his hips. "I tell you, he will obey me no matter what I want to do. I am the eldest lady."

"Yes, yes, yes." Akai Shuichi raised his hand and pressed the top of Nagai Hikaru's head, "Miss."
