Chapter 36 Maybe it was in the previous life

Yuya left Akemi Miyano's pistol and a key at the scene and took her away.

After a while, a white car drove over and two men in black suits got out of the car.

Of course, these two people are not members of the Black Organization, they just happen to be wearing black clothes.

The two men walked to the trunk of the car, opened it, and took out a person. To be more precise, it was a corpse that had just died.

The corpse was dressed exactly like Hirota Masami, and if you didn't look at the face, you would have no way of telling who was who.

Two men in black carried the body and placed her in the red car driven by Hirota Masami. They carefully placed her in the driver's seat, opened the door, and pretended to want to get out of the car.

Then he carefully poured gasoline inside and out, and even added some extra combustion aids for fear that it would not burn completely.

After doing all this, one of the men walked into the factory and picked up the gun and keys on the ground.

After a moment's thought, the man threw the gun and keys next to the car, carefully observing the angle to make sure they looked like they had fallen out.

After doing all this, the two looked at each other, nodded, lit the gasoline, and drove away quickly.

A raging flame ignited.

By the time the police received the news and arrived, the red car and the people inside had been completely burned. No useful information could be detected. Only a key and a pistol were found at the scene.

The key was to a safe containing the 1 billion yuan in cash that was stolen; the gun was confirmed to be the one used to kill three bank robbers and their accomplices after testing.

Fingerprints of Hirota Masami, who was missing and supposed to have escaped, were detected on the keys and the gun.

Although they could not find out why Hirota Masami died suddenly, the 1 billion yen was recovered. The police investigation was fruitless and had no choice but to give up.

Just like that, the billion-dollar robbery case was closed with the last robber being burned to death in a spontaneous combustion of his vehicle.

Beihua-cho, 4-chome, old house

Yuya bought this house at a very low price and restored it to its former luxury after a simple renovation.

Miyano Akemi looked at the house in front of her, a little surprised, and said to Yuya hesitantly: "Yuya, isn't this house a little too... luxurious?"

Youya smiled and said, "It's okay. This is a former haunted house. It didn't cost much."

Miyano Akemi was speechless for a moment. She didn't know whether Yuya was trying to comfort her or scare her mischievously. It just felt... very strange.

Entering the house, the animal statues in the hall had been moved away and replaced with more ordinary furniture decorations.

He took Miyano Akemi to the second floor and let her choose a room.

In the room, Yuya took out the box he had prepared in advance and said to Miyano Akemi, "Akemi, you will have to live with a different face and name from now on. Is that okay?"

Miyano Akemi nodded slightly; she had already prepared herself mentally.

Youye opened the box and took out a document on the top: "This is the identity I arranged for you in advance, a returnee from studying abroad. Sister Mingmei, how is your English?"

Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "It's OK."

Youye nodded and said, "It's okay, that's good. It saves extra time to learn English."

You don't have to speak the same language as foreigners, just be able to speak it, so that people won't be suspicious because you can't even speak English.

Yuya handed a thick stack of information to Miyano Akemi: "Here are all the documents and information. For the next period of time, Akemi, you will stay here and get familiar with your new identity."

Miyano Akemi nodded and opened the top certificate. On it was a somewhat unfamiliar face and the name next to it read: Tian Cang Jian.

"Next, Sister Mingmei, I'm going to teach you something." Youya said with a smile, pointing to the remaining things in the box.

Miyano Akemi took a look and found that they were some potions, something similar to gel, and a few human skin masks.

"Teach me what?" Miyano Akemi was not scared by the human skin mask and asked in confusion.

Yuya picked up a human skin mask, stroked it gently, and said, "Disguise."

"Disguise?" Miyano Akemi widened her eyes in surprise.

Isn't this a skill that only appears in movies? How could Yuya know it?

Seeing Miyano Akemi's surprise, Youya smiled and said, "In fact, disguise is not something particularly magical. Although not many people have mastered it, some very famous international actors and superstars have mastered certain disguise techniques. Otherwise, you will still be discovered by professional paparazzi if you only rely on disguise."

"It just so happens that my childhood friend Kudo Shinichi's mother, Kudo Yukiko, was once an internationally renowned actress. She knows how to disguise herself."

Although I actually only learned it from Tomoko-san, Yuya thought to himself, and I didn’t say that I learned it from Kudo Yukiko, right?

Miyano Akemi nodded suddenly. If that was the case, the disguise didn't seem so mysterious anymore.

"Of course, disguise is very difficult to learn. What I'm going to teach Sister Mingmei is just a relatively simple disguise technique. You only need to change some parts of your face to become another person. Except for those who are very familiar with you, no one will recognize you."

"And these masks are for emergency use in case you don't have time to change your appearance," Yuya said.

Miyano Akemi nodded.

"Come, let's try the effect first." Yuya gestured to Miyano Akemi to sit in front of the dressing table, and then started working on her face.

Miyano Akemi looked at the extremely familiar face in the mirror, which slowly turned into an unfamiliar face, and opened her mouth in surprise.

"How amazing." Miyano Akemi looked at herself in the mirror carefully and found that she was completely unrecognizable. The change was much more significant than the slight one Yuya had said.

"This requires you to spend a lot of time practicing to be exactly the same. Otherwise, if you go out with a different face every other day, it will easily arouse other people's suspicion." Youye said with a smile.

Miyano Akemi nodded and fell silent.

Yuya seemed to have sensed something and stopped smiling.

Miyano Akemi sighed, looked at Yuya in the mirror, and said faintly: "Yuya, you are not the Lord, you are not sent by Akai Shuichi, right?"

Yuya nodded.

Miyano Akemi is not a stupid person, so it's not surprising that he could see that.

Miyano Akemi showed an expression of "as expected". She had also investigated Yuya's information and knew that he was a very famous high school detective.

"I had guessed it long ago. Even if you were sent by the Maharaja, you have done too much for me."

Yuya opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Is it for Shiho?" Miyano Akemi suddenly asked.

Yuya's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Miyano Akemi in confusion.

Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "I won't be so self-righteous as to think that you are doing so many things for me."

"Your acting is great, but your eyes never lie. Although you've only mentioned Shiho to me a few times, every time you mention her, I can see the light in your eyes..."

Light? You was also stunned. What does this mean? He is not Tiga.

"Do you like Shiho?" Yuya's acting was so good that Miyano Akemi couldn't tell anything from his face, so she had to choose to ask directly.

"Ah?" Youye was stunned for a moment, a blush appearing on his face.

"I guessed right." Miyano Akemi laughed, "But I don't quite understand, when was it? You two shouldn't have had any interactions."

One is a researcher of the Black Organization, and the other is a famous high school detective. No matter how you think about it, there shouldn't be any intersection between them, right?

Yuya turned his head and looked out the window, with an ambiguous expression on his face: "Maybe, it was in the previous life?"
