The distance between the two of them seemed a bit too close.
Whether it is necessary—" Akai Shuichi said slowly, "is for me to judge.
His voice was also very soft, seemingly carrying a somewhat raspy texture; however, every word seemed to hold an inexplicable certainty.
“Do you dare to believe what I say?”
How do you know I wouldn't dare to believe you?
As the last syllable fell, the final sliver of light in the Living room settled completely.
At the moment everything sank into darkness, Gin sensed that the person opposite him seemed to move.
Before he could even react, a slight coolness seemed to brush against his lips.
In the Dark, they could not see each other's expressions, everything seemed shrouded by something vast and silent, to the point that some things that did not need to be said became plain.
Neither of them made any extra movements, except for Akai Shuichi gripping Gin's left hand, an action that seemed to both freeze and tremble slightly.
After a long silence, Gin let out a low laugh.
..
I didn't see any FBI agents today.
I know.

Chapter 206: Chapter 187 A Rose
Early the next morning, the moment Heine knocked on the Kudo residence's security door, he let out a moderate exclamation:
“Whoa—" The blonde-haired man crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Akai Shuichi, who walked out from behind the door, with a half-smile, "Did you stay up late last night?"
Akai Shuichi choked on his words.
There is a decent Food APP on the Apple Store." In the living room, Gin slowly took a final bite of his toast, picking up the conversation in the process. "You can go give it a try.
“So—” Heine spread his hands, walking leisurely from behind the door into the Living room, his gaze falling heavily on Gin, his tone filled with obvious surprise, "—you guys are staying up late playing games?"
Don't misunderstand, he is really surprised.
After all, staying up late to play video games while facing a formidable enemy—it was simply like living in a dream!
“..”
Akai Shuichi and Gin exchanged a glance, deciding not to dwell on the matter. Thus, the FBI elite skillfully changed the subject, "You came here today, is there something you need?"
This sentence was almost like an eviction notice. But considering Heine's uninvited arrival, thinking about it, it didn't seem like a big deal.
Akai Shuichi was never a warm person by nature, the Black Organization's Rye was not a man of many words in front of outsiders either. Heine was not surprised by his attitude at this moment, it was just—
"It's actually no big deal," he said nonchalantly, while simultaneously pushing a little one out from behind him.
Both of the two people in the Living room showed a slight, barely perceptible flash of surprise.
As for Conan, who was being pushed out from behind by Heine, his expression was one of complete lifelessness.
Speaking of which, the weather is quite nice today—" Heine gave a smile as warm as a spring breeze, his cobalt blue eyes filled with a hazy intoxication. "Shall we go to the Amusement Park?
..
Three men and a little boy, what kind of amusement park trip is that? Besides, with a great enemy before us, how can they slack off and go to an amusement park instead of staying up late to play games?!
Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!
—Truly delicious.
Gin slowly scanned the various buildings within the Amusement Park for a while, then shifted his gaze toward the various crowds in the area, slightly frowning.
Akai Shuichi, who was by his side, clearly saw his slightly displeased expression, upon reflection, he could guess the general reason.
This is an Amusement Park, it's normal for it to be crowded." The man, still in the Disguise of Shuichi Akai, explained softly, adding a comforting remark: "But since today is Friday, there are fewer people than on the weekend.
Gin gave Akai a cold glance, the meaning in his green eyes unmistakable: Nonsense, do you think I don't know?
Akai Shuichi cleared his throat lightly and changed the subject: "Is this the place where you first encountered Kudo Shinichi?"
When Heine first suggested going to the Amusement Park, Gin initially refused. After all, he wouldn't just go simply because you asked him to. Moreover, going to an Amusement Park for no reason—Gin wasn't that idle.
He only gave a valid reason.
It seems Rum has already become suspicious of APTX4869." Ignoring Edogawa Conan's drastically changed expression, Heine stated nonchalantly, "Based on the intelligence I've obtained, Rum is investigating that amusement park from back then.
Once this message was released, Conan was the first one who couldn't sit still.
He had originally been preoccupied with Heine's early morning "kidnapping," but at this moment, the young detective was the first one wanting to go to the Amusement Park.
This is exactly why, even though today is Friday, Conan is appearing at the Amusement Park—he skipped class.
Hearing Akai Shuichi's question, Gin pondered for a moment, then spoke carefully, ".. Not exactly."
Pausing for a moment, the Silver-haired man explained, "The first time I met him was likely in New York, USA."
Hearing this place name, Akai Shuichi vaguely recalled something, a faint, fleeting trace of a smile flashed through his green eyes.
"As expected.." he murmured.
"What?" The person beside him spoke too softly, the surrounding noise was truly a bit loud, such that Gin did not hear Akai Shuichi's words clearly for a moment.
However, by the time he looked over at his side profile, that person had already hidden the light chuckle in his eyes.
"It's nothing," Akai Shuichi replied to him.
The man still in Disguise glanced at the scenery not far away, then tossed out a completely unrelated question: "Shall we go feed the doves?"
Gin: ……
He was not at all appreciative of such impulsive behavior.
Heine has already taken that little one to the Surveillance Room." Noticing Gin's exasperation, Akai Shuichi explained unhurriedly, "We have nothing to do anyway.
If you don't want to go feed the doves—" He turned his head, opening a pair of Green eyes, "Shall we go look somewhere else?
This time, Gin did not refuse again.
Even on the way, he had the leisure to chat about what happened during Fate Night.
When I knocked out Kudo Shinichi, I specifically chose a spot without any surveillance camera," Gin explained nonchalantly. "However, I didn't deal with the surveillance camera at the Amusement Park afterward.
"Oh?" Akai Shuichi let out a short sound, sounding somewhat curious.
“A murder case occurred on the Roller Coaster, the Police intervened, so they will likely pull the surveillance camera footage; handling it without authorization would easily attract attention,” Gin explained indifferently. “And besides, Vodka and I had already come face-to-face with the Police at that time.”
After a pause, Gin added, "Besides, I wasn't doing anything improper that day, so there's no need for such unnecessary measures."
Akai Shuichi raised an eyebrow, repeating playfully, "“Nothing improper”?"
He let out a soft chuckle, his lowered voice raspy and carrying a pleasant magnetism. "The version I heard from Conan wasn't quite like this."
Gin said calmly, "It wasn't caught on the surveillance camera."
A bad deed that leaves no evidence.. can that even be called a bad deed!
Akai Shuichi..
From the standpoint of an FBI agent, he should have been on guard upon hearing these words.
However, at this moment, Akai Shuichi only found it hilarious.
And he really laughed out loud.
Gin gave him a cold look, without saying a word.
So the Black-haired agent—who was not actually black-haired in his disguised state—raised his hands as if begging for mercy, laughing as he walked, his eyes and brows filled with leisure.
His gaze swept across Gin's face, swept across his green eyes that seemed to contain ice and jade, swept across his high bridge of the nose, finally landed on the Silver-haired man's lips.
Thin, pale Lips.
The recent weather has been a bit dry, causing Gin's lips to be a little chapped. Akai Shuichi's brow twitched as his gaze swept across the surroundings, happening to spot a vending machine.
He slipped his hands into his coat pocket and said softly, "I'll go buy you a bottle of water."
Gin lowered his eyes. "Oh."
..
To avoid exposing himself, Gin's outfit today was quite low-key.
He did not wear that eye-catching Black trench coat anymore, but instead changed into a seasonal navy blue sweater. Pure black jeans hugged his long legs, further accentuating his tall and upright figure.
His long silver hair was tied loosely with a black hair tie, falling in smooth strands. Gin chose an ordinary-looking baseball cap, pulling it low over her head to conceal most of her face.
At first glance, he looked like some foreign painter obsessed with art.
Someone is walking toward him.
He looked toward the newcomer with unerring accuracy, only after that person had walked to an appropriate distance did he speak nonchalantly, "Where is my water?"
Akai Shuichi handed the water to him.
Gin stared at the water bottle in his hand but did not take it, instead asking with a hint of suspicion, "Why did you take so long?"
"Don't worry, it really is me." Having anticipated this question, Akai Shuichi, still bearing the face of Shuichi Akai, replied to him calmly.
