Lin Che carefully investigated along the way.
at last.
When he was about 500 meters from his destination, he spotted the first group of targets.
Just like the last time I went to make the meeting, the three men in black in my line of sight seemed to be on guard.
However, they were much more professional and vigilant than the group that participated in the mud-related meeting; not a single one of them was slacking off.
Moreover, these people chose extremely tricky locations, making it impossible to sneak over there.
At that moment, a notification popped up on Lin Che's phone in his backpack.
He picked it up and saw it was a text message from Ai Haibara.
Please be extremely careful. If it's difficult to get in, just come back and tell me the general situation.
Chapter 22 Tears of the Moon
really?
Then I'll really give up.
Lin Che began to consider leaving.
Since Ai Haibara could send such a message, it means that the mission was arranged this way, and in principle, they did not want him to force his way in.
This is likely a multi-stage mission: first, reconnaissance; second, devising a plan; third...
In short, I can leave now.
Just as Lin Che was about to turn around, the three men in black in his line of sight suddenly headed away in a direction far from where he was.
How is this going?
"Shift change?"
"No one else came either..."
Lin Che frowned and decided to take another look.
He waited for nearly 20 minutes, but no new people came. The original three had disappeared without a trace.
Paste it over and take a look.
Lin Che cautiously approached, stopping whenever his "Detective Instinct" cooldown was triggered, remaining highly tense throughout.
The three people were originally standing on the street corner, close to the wall, which allowed them to monitor almost the entire area.
There were no cigarette butts or other items left on the ground; it was so clean it looked like no one had ever stood there.
"Let's move forward a little more."
Lin Che continued to explore cautiously.
This time, he didn't see any irrelevant people until he arrived at the building where he was going.
"Wrong assumption?"
"Akami Miyano's rental information is very secretive. Has Gin not found this place yet?"
Now that we've come this far, there's no reason not to go up and take a look.
Lin Che didn't believe that Gin could have foreseen or observed his arrival beforehand and then lured him here.
Let's go up and take a look!
After getting out of the car, Lin Che was dressed in a hoodie and mask. Now, sneaking into this old neighborhood, he really felt like a thief in the dead of night.
Upon arriving at Akemi Miyano's door, there was no suspicious person in the entire building or in the rooms.
Those three couldn't possibly be street thugs from the neighborhood, could they?
Since Ai Haibara didn't give him the key and told him to go inside and investigate, it meant he could now use any method to break down the door.
However, as a senior member of the street thugs, Lin Che was skilled at picking car locks and door locks as well.
After quickly locking the door, Lin Che put his boots into his backpack and went inside.
Although the warmth of your feet will still cause condensation and footprints on the floor, these will disappear after a while, and you can even remove them while walking in your socks.
The room didn't look like it was frequently occupied.
That makes sense, since it was a house that Miyano Akemi secretly rented behind the organization's back, and she couldn't possibly live there permanently.
Lin Che didn't turn on the lights either.
[Detective Instinct] can not only highlight items and clues, but it can also be used for lighting.
Soon, the highlighted items appeared.
Following the markings, Lin Che found a small box in a compartment of the master bedroom closet.
[Exquisite Tin Box: A locked tin box; its contents are unknown.]
This is a quest item and cannot be stored in your inventory.
Lin Che put the thing in his pocket.
The room wasn't very big; the two scans had already marked all the items that could be marked.
There was nothing in the second bedroom, so I'll go to the bathroom next.
[Facial cleanser: Can be used to wash your face.]
This is also a quest item, and can only be held in your hand.
"So anything that Miyano Akemi has used counts as a mission item, right?"
In the future, I might have to bring a special bag when doing tasks.
But a living person can't be killed by holding in their pee.
Lin Che simply put the tin box and facial cleanser into the hood and hung it on his back, which did not affect his movements.
Keep exploring!
[Walter PPK Pistol (Standard): No bonuses.]
[30 rounds of 7.65mm ammunition.]
The gun was found behind a sofa cushion.
Guns... the more the merrier.
However, it still can't be put into a backpack.
Is that all?
After searching around, it seems that only the metal box looks reliable; it might actually contain some important items left for Ai Haibara.
Lin Che carefully scanned the room again.
"There's really nothing else. Let's go."
The voice just fell.
His gaze suddenly fell upon a small box in the corner of the living room windowsill!
Because of the moonlight and the curtains, I hadn't noticed the small box that was gleaming white earlier.
Lin Che walked over quickly and was pleasantly surprised as soon as he reached out his hand!
It can be opened!
This clue was familiar to him; it was a map treasure chest that he could open!
Open!
Congratulations on obtaining: Moon's Tear
【Tears of the Moon (Ring) (Fine): Agility +10, Shooting Accuracy +10%, NPC Shuichi Akai's Favorability +50 (Not Triggered)】
Good guy.
Is this the ring that Shuichi Akai gave to Akemi Miyano?
The ring is likely made of sterling silver, but the decoration is not the moon but a white five-petaled flower that looks somewhat like a lily.
What's the meaning of lilies again...?
Purity, fidelity, and inviolability?
this......
I won't comment.
There are no level restrictions on any equipment in this game, at least not yet.
Lin Che put on the Moon Tear directly, and felt as if his movements had become more agile.
"Now there's really nothing left."
Go home, we'll hand in the task tomorrow.
I can take a look at the skill tree when I get home tonight.
Lin Che tiptoed out of the house and put his boots back on.
He now has three pieces of high-quality equipment.
However, as soon as he locked the door again and turned around, he saw three men in black downstairs.
"Those three people from just now!"
Lin Che crouched down at lightning speed and activated [Detective Instinct].
Unfortunately, it's too far away to be detected from here.
There is only one staircase leading down to this building.
Instead of hesitating, you should hurry downstairs.
Lin Che moved swiftly and quickly made his way to the bottom of the stairs on the first floor.
From this angle, the three men in black were clearly pointing at the floor where Miyano Akemi's house was located.
So they really are part of the organization, but they haven't completely confirmed the location of Akemi Miyano's house yet.
These three people were blocking the exit. It wasn't difficult to get around them; you could just climb over the wall.
Lin Che consulted the map and decided to take a longer route from the back, then circle back to retrieve the car.
Just do it!
The transfer was swift.
The wall is not high.
Eh?
Wait, there seems to be another treasure chest over there by the wall.
The movements were graceful.
But the result was not good.
"Boom--!"
Relying on his superior physical abilities, Lin Che used a running start, a jump, and a one-handed push-up to successfully clear the wall.
However, he did not land on the ground.
Instead, it landed on the roof of a car.
It's exactly right, perfectly balanced.
He lowered his head.
Vodka, in the driver's seat, also peeked out the window to look back.
Their eyes met, and they both fell silent for a moment.
"Biu—"
next second.
