"You're finally back," said a middle-aged man who looked to be about fifty years old, unkempt, and even yawned in the middle of his speech. "Yawn—"

"This is Mr. Furumura, who is now in charge of sales." Hoshima introduced.

"Ah, you brought the little one back to yawn—" Furumura yawned again.

"Why are you so sleepy?" There is something strange about Hoshima. "I think you were like that when I saw you in the morning...

"It can't be helped," Furumura rubbed his eyes. "After all, I played mahjong yesterday and played all night. . . ."

"Uhhh The corners of Chiha's mouth twitched.

This is really a talent... Staying up all night on weekdays.,And so casually stuck like that during working hours.。。。

"Sloppy guys." Gray Plains said softly in English. "From head to toe, it smells like a defeated dog."

"yes." Qian Yu nodded.

"Kids, follow me." Hoshima opened a door and beckoned Chiba and the others to enter.

Behind the door was an equally cluttered bedroom—called the same clutter because the living room they had just been in was just as cluttered.

"If you sleep on your side... Hoshima thought for a moment and said. "Six people should barely be able to sleep...

"What should you do, brother?" Ayumi asked.

"I'll just find a sofa to sleep on outside, just like Mr. Furumura." Hoshima shrugged.

"It's been another day of work today, hard work!" Suddenly, Mr. Furumura's enthusiastic voice came from the living room. "Let's do it tonight, then, the results of Tongma will be brought later!"

“？” Furumura's rather strange way of speaking caught Chiba's attention, and Furumura was sitting on the sofa, holding a camera and pointing it at himself.

"That guy has been obsessed with keeping a diary with a video camera lately." Hoshima saw Chiha's movements and explained with a smile. "Alright, little ones, go to bed, I'll go get you the quilt."

。。。

At night, the starlight shines through the window and reflects on Chiba's face

At this moment, Qian Yu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up as if he had been awakened. “！！！”

Gray Yuanai, who was tiptoeing out of the door and probably going to the bathroom, instantly relaxed like a frightened kitten, and didn't relax until he turned around and saw that it was Qianyu.

"Whew..." Qian Yu sighed and tapped his forehead.

The reason he was woken up was because he had given instructions to the auxiliary unit before he fell asleep, and once someone walked within four meters (basically the equivalent of walking into this room), the auxiliary unit would activate a warning and stimulate Chiba's nervous system.

Chiba had now been dispelled from all drowsiness by the auxiliary unit, and had no intention of sleeping again, so he turned off his hearing-related alert system - otherwise even the sound of his own people walking on the floor might have stimulated his nerves again.

Lying back on the bed, Qian Yu calmed down again and quietly looked at the starry sky outside the window.

Wait a minute... Chiba suddenly sat up again, climbed out of bed, and walked to the window.

This apartment is diagonally opposite the Dongdu Development Office, so theoretically you can see it here...

Qianyu's face was a little gloomy for a moment.

The black Chevrolet shifted some distance from the main entrance of the Eastern Capital Developer and parked in the parking space opposite the main entrance of the apartment.

Qian Yu took out her mobile phone and prepared to call the police.

But if it's going to wake up those guys if you're calling here, then ...

Chiba was going to go to the house with the small storeroom sign that she had seen before to make a phone call.

。。。

In the storage room, Gray Yuan Ai leaned against the window, looking at Qian Yu very calmly and put down his phone with a gloomy face.

"The Metropolitan Police Department didn't send a police force, did it?" Gray Plains asked.

"Yes," Chiba nodded. "They said it was just me worrying about it, and it was probably just a coincidence... Wait a minute—"

"Why are you here?" Qian Yu put down his phone and said in confusion. "I wanted to ask that question when I first came in. I thought you were going to the bathroom... ”

"Just thinking about something," Gray Hara shrugged. "I can't sleep at night, and then I come out and relax."

"Hmm... Qian Yu hesitated for a moment and said. "It's 10:10, and I can't sleep even if I go back - would you mind talking to me?"

At this moment, Qian Yu felt that his face was a little feverish.

“。。。” Gray Yuan Wai was obviously also a little stunned by Qianyu's attitude - if it was an ordinary Qianyu, he would never take the initiative to chat with him when he didn't take the initiative to talk to him when he didn't have anything important.

However, it was exactly what she wanted.

"These people this time shouldn't be from the organization, right?" Gray Plains asked.

"At least I don't feel like an organization person." Qian Yu shook his head. "At least the operatives Hoshino brought with him at the training ground in Tokyo are uniformly yellow-skinned, and I guess they wouldn't send white men to follow us in Japan, even to ensure concealment."

"You mean, they're—" Gray Plains nodded and continued.

"I guess it's the FBI," Chiba leaned against the wall of the storage room. "And only they will send Caucasians - NATO countries will certainly not do such a thing on American reserves, and Russia seems to have just negotiated a big deal with the organization (author: it is a map of the US nuclear deployment network, which Russia also bought after the skyscraper incident. So won't do anything to us. And the relationship between the FBI and the organization is not good, and there is enough energy in Japan, only they have the leisure to do such things. ”

"In other words, we're being targeted as the remnants of the Order?" Gray Plains frowned. "No, we're more likely to be treated as..."

"I'm considered a member of the organization... Chiba tapped her forehead with her index finger. "After all, there's a good chance they've seen the fact that I have a good relationship with Kaede Hoshino...

"Chased by the organization as an FBI spy and chased by the FBI as a member of the organization," Gray Yuan laughed at himself. "It's really...

"It won't last long," the wry smile only appeared on Chiba's face for a moment before disappearing, replaced by a resolute expression. "Trust me, I'll take care of it all — one way or another."

At this moment, an untimely voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah!!!!h The man's screams made a shocked expression appear on both Chiba and Ashbara's faces

“FBI？” Gray Yuan said in surprise. "They came straight in?"

"Shh Qianyu's expression was solemn, and he immediately walked quickly to Gray Yuan's body.

"Huh?" Ash Hara was startled by the thousand feathers who suddenly walked in front of her.

"It should be possible to turn over here-" Chiwa pushed the window and found that it could be fully opened, and at this time, Mr. Hoshima's voice was heard.

"Mr. Furumura, what's wrong with you? Mr. Furumura? ”

“？” Chiba looked in the direction of the door of the storage room with a somewhat strange expression.

Something isn't quite right... If Mr. Furumura was killed by one blow, why didn't Mr. Hoshima die?

Chiba tiptoed to the door and gently pushed the latch shut.

At this moment, the light outside the door was turned on, and the scene outside the door was cast through the frosted part of the storeroom door - the frosted level was obviously not high, so Chiba could still see a person standing - judging by the color of the clothes, it should be Hoshima-sama.

Other than that, no one else - if it was really the FBI, they would never mind killing everyone here since they killed an ancient village, so...

"Another homicide?" Qian Yu and Gray Yuan Ai exchanged a helpless look, opened the latch, and walked out.

Right in front of them, Mr. Furumura had a fruit knife stuck in his chest, and he was already lifeless.

Happy New Year, my friends.
