At night, on a quiet street, the sound of a telephone ring broke the silence.
Lupin, who had just finished talking to Colin, took out his cell phone again and looked at the caller ID.
"Who's calling, Lupin?" Jigen asked, tilting his head.
"Oh! It's Fujiko-chan!" Looking at the familiar caller ID, Lupin instantly revealed a pig-like look and said, "You're calling me so late at night, could it be that you can't stand the night and want to find me..."
"Tsk, don't think about those things anymore, Lupin! I'm sure that woman must have caused some trouble again!" Jiyuan put his hat down and said with an unhappy look on his face.
Goemon, who was walking at the end, nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too."
Looking back at the history of their interactions, every time this woman came to him, she either brought trouble with her or was followed by trouble. Only that bastard Lupin had not learned his lesson and was willing to play these dangerous games with this crazy woman.
"Haha, don't say that. Fujiko is still a very good person." Listening to his companion's complaints, Lupin laughed dryly and urgently clicked the video call channel as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Look, this time it will definitely be different..."
"Lupin! Come and save me!!!"
As soon as the call was connected, a high and charming female voice came out from the speaker of the mobile phone.
Looking at Fujiko, who was tied to a stool with a pitiful and pleading look on the screen, and Jigen and Goemon, who were looking at him with a sneer beside him, Lupin suddenly reached out and wiped his face, then smiled bitterly at the video.
"You got caught again, Fujiko-chan!"
This kind of being caught has happened countless times in their dangerous game.
"It's real this time! Lupin!" Fujiko said anxiously on the other side of the phone.
Unlike in the past when she seemed to be caught but was actually either cooperating or confident, facing this pervert whose heart was as cold as an iceberg, she might really die here!
"Hey, it's true!" Lupin nodded repeatedly. He said this every time and he was used to it. However, this was also his willingness to cooperate with Fujiko to play this game.
At that moment, he said seriously, "Where is the kidnapper? Since you called me, what's your purpose?"
Fujiko's lips moved on the other side of the phone, as if she wanted to say something, but the next second, the screen went black and a cold voice was heard.
"No. 79 Street, No. ** Residential Building, Room **. The three of you must come here within two hours, or collect her body!"
beep!
The call was hung up after he finished speaking. After Lupin tried to shout a few words and called back but there was no response, he frowned and put the phone in his pocket.
"Don't worry about her, Lupin. It must be that woman's fault again. You might as well go back and take a good bath and eat something hot instead of spending that time there."
Jigen glanced at Lupin who was thinking, and patted his stomach.
They had been running and fighting since they came out in the afternoon. Even though their physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, they were still exhausted.
"No, this time is different, Fujiko is in real trouble!"
After closing his eyes and recalling the scene after the call was connected, Lupin suddenly opened his eyes.
"Is it true?" After listening to Lupin's judgment, Ziyuan was a little surprised for a moment.
How could that shrewd woman like a fox fall in such a short time
Some are unimaginable.
"My eyes will never be wrong." Lupin pointed at his own eyes and identified the direction, then said, "Let's go. It's not far. We even have time to find a place to get something to eat. But I hope it's not the worst."
The cell phone suddenly appeared in his palm. He looked at Colin's number on it, hesitated for a moment, and put it back in his hand.
…
Inside the safe house, as the call was hung up, Alex walked to the computer and said, "Skye, thank you for the surveillance around you."
"OK, I have hacked into all the surveillance cameras nearby. If there is anything unusual, I will notify you in advance."
Skye's cheerful voice came from the speakers, and Alex listened and nodded indifferently.
"I really mean no harm. I just saw you running upstairs with this lady, so I followed you out of curiosity..."
Fujiko kept talking with a bitter face and a pitiful and sympathetic look. Alex glanced at her, and his eyes did not change at all.
This woman never spoke a word of truth. She said a lot of things, but she didn't say anything crucial, at least she didn't reveal any information about the man who gave her the meditation method.
If he hadn't just met that man before, he might have been fooled by this woman's acting skills.
But then again, if he hadn't been afraid of that man, the woman who discovered his secret, found his safe house, and forced him to bring his girlfriend Karen Parker, who he rescued from Blackwatch's close surveillance during the previous chaos, to Dana, he would have killed her long ago and she wouldn't be alive now.
He looked up at the time and saw that it was almost midnight. He got up and went to the kitchen to make two cups of coffee, which he handed to Dana and his nominal girlfriend Karen.
"Thanks."
Karen reached out to take it, looked at Alex, and said something with a complicated expression.
Alex opened his mouth, but finally just nodded and said nothing.
He could sense the alienation behind Karen's calm face, but he felt the same way. Having lost most of his memories, he didn't know how to face Karen as his girlfriend.
love
What's the point of talking about love when he has no memories? He would even choose to take the risk to rescue her. He wanted to find out more about Karen's past than the fact that she was his girlfriend.
Of course, Karen was also special to him. The only messy fragments of memories of the two of them being together in his brain made it impossible for him to regard Karen as an ordinary person.
It can be said that apart from Dana, who is related to him by blood and has made her position clear through actions, the only person he can trust to a certain extent is Karen.
"Wow~ It's so hot!" Dana shouted exaggeratedly after noticing the strange atmosphere between the two. After attracting their attention, she turned her eyes and looked at Karen with a gossipy face and said, "Sister Karen, tell me how you and Alex met. Let me hear how this blockhead chased after a super beauty like you!"
Karen was slightly stunned when she heard this. She realized what Dana was thinking, but she didn't refuse. She looked at Dana kindly and even with a hint of pity, then she began to tell the story in a nostalgic tone.
Time passed by minute by minute, and as the agreed two hours were about to arrive, Fujiko prayed silently in her heart.
She never doubted whether Lupin would come to save her. She only hoped that Lupin would notice her hint and come back prepared. Otherwise, she might really be in trouble this time!
