Winter vacation is one of the few long holidays that teachers and students should cheer for.

But in the world of Kexue, where people can take a long day off on ordinary weekends, apart from the cold, it seems to be no different from weekdays.

There were not many pedestrians outside, and occasionally a few cars passed by on the road, as if they were rushing home to celebrate the New Year.

In front of a convenience store about half a block away from Aipado Central Hospital.

A man with golden brown hair and dark green eyes was walking down the street carrying a bag containing cans of beer and coffee.

Under the dim street lights, five or six drunken youths were staggering towards him.

The man frowned and stepped aside.

Unexpectedly, one of them slipped on his feet and accidentally fell to this side.

The sudden change made the man slightly stunned.

He turned sideways to avoid it, but the bag in his hand was still grabbed by the man's hands that were waving wildly in order to maintain balance. With a series of 'bang bang bang' sounds, the coffee and beer fell to the floor.

"Mom, damn... big, big, foreign dog... no... doesn't have eyes..."

The young man stood firm and cursed inarticulately.

He was about to turn around and leave, but a strong hand was placed on his shoulder.

The European man said coldly in standard Japanese: "Apologise!"

"Tao...Tao your mother..."

"asshole!"

The man's face turned red with anger, and he punched the young man in the chest with his fist.

However, the young man may have been too drunk, and he collapsed on the ground before he was beaten.

And this punch hit another person's arm.

"ah!!!"

The face became distorted due to the severe pain, and the temper of this young man who had suffered an unreasonable disaster immediately rose.

"Hit him!"

I don't know who shouted.

The other young men also rolled up their sleeves and staggered towards this direction.

The instigator, who was slumped on the ground earlier, picked up coffee and beer and threw it in this direction without hesitation. Although his accuracy was poor, a few cans almost hit the glass of the store behind the European man.

This guy...

The European man couldn't help but secretly sneered when he saw this. He looked around and saw an alley not far away, turned around and ran towards that direction.

Several drunken youths were chasing after him.

However, as if the European man wanted to lure a few people here intentionally, he stopped after a few steps, flexing his hands and feet to show these drunkards some color.

Then, the young man whose arm was punched was the first to be hit by a knee to his stomach. Alcohol, stomach acid and saliva were choked out of his mouth, and he fainted.

Blinded by darkness.

The few young men who were chasing after him were completely unaware that the European man they were facing was the FBI lurking in Acupido Central Hospital, and they were not aware of the gap in strength between the two sides.

Thinking that the other party had no way to escape, they quickly squeezed into the alley where only three people could walk side by side.

What happened next can only be described as tragic.

Already defenseless and in a daze, they faced an FBI that suppressed their anger. The scene could only be described as crushing.

With a few punches and kicks, the drunkards were all knocked down.

"Hey, bad luck..."

The European man symbolically patted the non-existent dust on his clothes.

Just as he was about to leave the alley, a figure suddenly handed an electric shock device silently from above. The metal touched his neck, and the switch activated the electric current that instantly flowed into the man's body.

"Well..."

The dull hum quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.

With a muffled thud, the man slowly collapsed to the ground. There was only the smell of burnt skin in the air, and Ye Gengyi's emotionless sigh, "Can't you count...I missed one.

ah."

He bent down and rummaged through the other man's pockets.

He took out his wallet, cell phone and FBI ID.

...I didn't bring a pistol, um... I guess it was to prevent me from being suddenly stopped by the police for questioning, or accidentally being involved in a murder case, so I could lie and claim that I was on vacation in Japan.

Ye Gengyi was thinking as he took off his gloves. The nano-robots between his fingers spilled out of the skin, and finally mimicked a connection end corresponding to the data interface, and was implanted in the mobile phone of the 'lucky guy' FBI he selected.

A Trojan horse program.

Opening the FBI ID, it says:

[Tom Bock; Rank: A2...]

"What a pity, it's a small role."

Ye Gengyi muttered, and after taking away all the money from the other party, he threw the ID, wallet and mobile phone with the Trojan horse into the trash can beside him, turned around and disappeared into the night.

…

Two hours later.

Aipado Central Hospital, corridor outside the intensive care area.

Shuichi Akai was standing in front of the window smoking a cigarette. The cigarette had just been half-burned. At the other end of the stairs, Judy Stelling hurried over: "Xiu... I just heard from the changing guard that Tom was attacked.

Already?"

Akai Shuichi flicked the cigarette ashes into the coffee can on the window sill, "Well, it is said that he had a conflict with a few drunkards."

"It is said..." Judy Stelling frowned, "Why is it said that Tom is here? Isn't he back yet?"

"He burned his neck with the electric shock device and is currently taking medicine over there in the clinic," Akai Shuichi said.

"Could it be those guys..."

"Judy, relax." Akai Shuichi interrupted: "This should be just a coincidence. Tom was neither tortured nor followed, nor was a bug installed on him. Based on my understanding of those guys, even if I can guess

If we knew the place where we hid the Sleeping Beauty, we would not do such a thing to alert the snake."

"That's it..."

Judy Stelling breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "By the way, where's James? He said on the phone that the investigation I asked him to help with had results."

"She should still be with Tom." Akai Shu said.

"Okay, I just happened to go see him."

With that said, Judy Stelling turned around and walked towards the diagnosis room.

Not far away, sitting on a bench on one side of the corridor, was an FBI agent pretending to be a patient's family member and reading a newspaper.

Judy Stelling greeted the other party with her eyes, opened the door and walked in.

There are no doctors or nurses in the room.

James saw the latter coming to the medical room in a hurry. He did not directly ask about the matter that asked him to help investigate. Instead, he stared at Tom with burning eyes. He was startled for a moment, and then he understood what Judy Smith was doing.

Tailin’s reason for coming.

In desperation, Tom had no choice but to tell the story of how after he was picked on by a drunkard, he was worried about causing unnecessary commotion, so he lured a few people into the alley, and was accidentally knocked unconscious by one of them with an electric shock device.

.

I remembered that Conan had talked to me not long ago about Hondo Eiyu, a young man who looked very similar to Rena Mizuna...

Despite Akai Shuichi's relief, Judy Stelling still asked: "Tom, are you sure? Isn't it a bit exaggerated to be attacked by a drunkard from behind?"

"I can confirm that they are just a group of ordinary people. It's just that the alley was too dark, and I was a little careless for a while..."

Tom Burke scratched his head in embarrassment, "But don't worry, there were very few people on the street today. When I woke up, those drunkards were already missing. They didn't call the police. Although the money I had on me was

They were all taken away, but fortunately, the cell phone and FBI ID were recovered from a trash can not far away."

"Yes," James took over the topic and added: "After Tom called back, I asked him to find a safe place to hide. I immediately arranged for Akai and several agents to go there to coordinate and check the situation. Nothing suspicious was found.

personnel, this should be an ordinary accident. Maybe those drunkards are members of which gang, and it is normal for them to carry electric shock devices. There is no need for us to carry out the investigation too nervously."

"That's right." Judy Stelling nodded, "If you act too recklessly and the guys in that organization find out the traces, it will be bad..."

She paused, and then she remembered her original purpose, "By the way, James, I asked you to help investigate."

"Oh...it's the man named Bendo, right?"

James Blake said: "I have confirmed and investigated in many ways that he is indeed a member of the CIA. His real name is Ethan Hondo. He is a second-generation Japanese American. He joined the CIA about 30 years ago and became a member of the CIA.

Intelligence agent. He got married in Japan 27 years ago and has been lurking here. As for what information he is investigating, my friend cannot provide it."
