The originally delicious sushi suddenly didn't taste good.
Kuroki took a sip of champagne silently, pushed the sushi plate to the table next to Shirley, and said with a slight smile: "Have you not eaten yet tonight? Come on, don't be hungry."
Shirley: "..."
Bourbon laughed heartily on the side, but he restrained himself a lot after being glared at by Kuroki Jin, but he still said with a smile: "Although it is the fault of the logistics department, the sushi is indeed delicious."
Shirley doubtfully picked up one and put it into her mouth. The rice, which was obviously cold, chewed slowly and slowly, and the aroma gradually spread out, making her eyes light up slightly.
"Did Gin hide upstairs?" Bourbon saw her eating and talked to Kuroki Ren.
"That's not true." Kuroki said helplessly, "Rum is still responsible for the management of the whole place, and now he doesn't know where to look. If you pour gin well, he really doesn't care about anything."
Bourbon smiled and chose not to believe it.
Gin doesn't care? I'm afraid Potter is the only one in the entire organization who dares to say that. Do you really think that Gin will hand over the real power to others casually? Gin is not worried about Boss, but he is not worried yet.
In such a big banquet hall, how many guns can be used to solve the security problem for the members of Codename 300?
Bourbon didn't believe it at all, and he didn't believe that Kuroki Jin would believe such a thing, so he laughed twice and ignored the topic.
"Speaking of which, this is a beautiful lady." Bourbon focused on Shirley, "Have we met before somewhere?"
Kuroki Ren's eyes suddenly became alert, and he gave Bourbon a subtle wink.
"No." Shirley replied without thinking. She had no impression of Bourbon's voice and body shape at all, let alone seen it before.
"Really?" Bourbon didn't care. She said if it wasn't, then there wouldn't be one, but it wasn't a bad thing to see the other person's funny expression.
"Then I'm leaving." Bourbon knocked on the table twice. Kuroki quickly nodded to indicate that he understood and told him to leave quickly. Bourbon then turned around and left with satisfaction.
Shirley was slightly startled.
Kuroki Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed Shirley's stunned look. He looked at the place where her eyes were looking strangely, and found that he was only looking at Bourbon's back.
"What's wrong?" Heimuren asked doubtfully.
"I didn't feel it just now, but looking at his back, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before." Shirley finished her words full of doubts.
"You have just returned to China, and he has just been transferred back to Tokyo not long ago, so there shouldn't be a chance to meet him."
"That's right." Shirley suppressed her doubts.
"Speaking of which, your scientific research department's participation in this kind of thing is too low." Kuroki Jin said a little strangely, "Although the scientific research department has a small number of code members, it's not like even ten people in Tokyo can't make up for it."
There were very few members from the Scientific Research Department present today. There were only seven people in total, Kuroki Ren knew four of them.
"There are very few people in the research base." Shirley knew one more person than Kuroki Ren. Although she was not familiar with him before at the main base, she had spoken a few words with another deputy minister, but today it was so confusing. They just couldn't find each other in the sea of people.
"Today should be a day off for all of you." Kuroki Jin thought for a while and said, "It seems that it's not a bad thing if you are not a member of the codename. At least you don't have to be forced to attend such a boring party."
Shirley, who was bored by being forced to participate: "..."
"We usually have three days off." Seeing that Kuroki Ren had helped her just now, Shirley explained a little more than usual. "On the 31st, 1st and 2nd, those with family members in the base can go home, and those without family members can also go out to play."
Normally, except for business trips, people in the scientific research base are not allowed to go out.
"Then can you go out with your sister tomorrow?" Kuroki Ren followed her words.
Shirley paused slightly and looked at Kuroki Ren with a slightly complicated expression.
"What, what's wrong?" Kuroki Ren, who felt that he had said the wrong thing, was a little confused.
"It's nothing." After seeing that Kuroki Ren really didn't know, Shirley didn't want to talk more about this topic.
"Well..." Kuroki Ren was a little concerned, but seeing that Shirley didn't want to say more, he didn't feel like asking in detail. He thought about it and suddenly had an idea.
"By the way, since you don't have any plans, would you like to go to pray together tomorrow morning?"
Shirley was slightly startled. Her trouble-hating personality made her reluctant to accept the invitation, but Kuroki Jin helped her a lot after all. New Year's pilgrimage is very traditional and formal for the Yamato people. Kuroki would be afraid to invite her. It's a very intimate gesture, so it wouldn't be nice to refuse.
Her hesitation was seen by Kuroki Jin, and he said as if casually: "I don't know if I will meet others when I visit the shrine and go together. If I really meet an acquaintance, it will look distant if I don't go together." , it’s really too troublesome.”
Kuroki Jin sighed hypocritically.
Shirley:? ...! ! !
She understood.
Shirley rarely felt so excited. She had been watched and studied by the organization since she could remember. After being sent abroad, she was surrounded by people from the organization. It was impossible to do something secretly. Therefore, her life for the first eighteen years was extremely monotonous.
But today someone sent her a prank invitation.
Arranging a meeting between two people under the nose of the organization, let alone a time like this.
What Kuroki Ren didn't know was that about half a month ago, a man came back from the trading department and came to her laboratory specifically to find her.
The organization's codename is Pisk, a kindly old man who claims to be a friend of her parents.
Shirley is not a fool. She has never met this friend of her parents who lives in the United States all year round in all the years she has been abroad. In addition, he can't talk about the new drug APTX4869 for a few words. Naturally, she knows that his purpose is not to marry his best friend. People reminisce about old times but simply want this drug.
Shirley refused to give any more medication.
Although Pisk is a veteran of the organization, he is not very popular. In addition, because he is old and frail, he is gradually unable to handle the things assigned by the gentleman, and he begins to dislike him. He had no choice but to turn his target to his sister Miyano Akemi.
Compared to Shirley, a member of the Scientific Research Department who cannot take direct action or even threatens effectively, Miyano Akemi, an ordinary member, is a good target for suppression.
Although the news from her sister is that she can handle telling Shirley not to care and is determined not to hand over the last legacy of her parents to such a person, it is inevitable that Shirley is still a little worried about that.
In addition, Gin's attitude towards the matter was unhurried, and he had no intention of directly solving the problem in order to prevent her from being affected by foreign objects and concentrate on studying medicine, which gave her some bad guesses.
She originally planned to be more honest during this time.
originally.
