Soon, the clerk brought the cup of black coffee that Hideichi Akai wanted to the table.

The clerk bowed slightly to the two of them and said with a smile:

"Please use the black coffee you want slowly."

"If you need any help, please tell me."

"I won't bother you now."

After saying that, the clerk looked at Akai Hideichi with some reluctance, then turned around and left.

The man in black robe covered his mouth with one hand and took off the lower half of his mask with the other hand.

The hand that covered his mouth did not move.

And with the other hand, he put the lower half of the mask on the table and picked up the cup.

I took a small sip of black coffee without sugar or milk.

The moment he entered the entrance, the face under the black-robed man's mask suddenly changed his expression.

But it can't be seen from the outside.

He resisted the feeling of vomiting, and the man in black swallowed it without hesitation.

Put down the cup, cover your mouth with your hands, and put the lower part of the mask on it.

Then, the man in black robe ended the game of "whoever speaks first will lose."

A low male voice rang under the mask:

"It seems you're very popular."

"As soon as we met, a woman made a secret promise to you."

"I think you are single now, don't think about it?"

"She looks OK."

It sounds like a conversation between good friends.

However, the two didn't even know each other.

At least that's what Hideichi Akai thinks.

Hearing these thorny words, Hideichi Akai didn't feel anything.

He took a sip of black coffee without changing his face, and sarcastically said indifferently:

"If you are willing to take off your black robe, maybe that's fine."

The implication is:

"You don't even dare to take off your black robe, so don't say such things."

The man in black robe laughed a few times, and his tone was very calm to tease himself:

"Then forget it."

"I'm a person who lacks security."

"It's still comfortable to wear a black robe."

No more nonsense, and didn't wait for Hide Akai to ask.

After teasing himself, the man in black robe began to the topic:

"I won't say anything else."

"I came to you today because I wanted to make a deal with you."

"I need the information you have in your hands."

It's straightforward and not concealed.

The man in black robe said such a request that Hideichi Akai would not agree to under normal circumstances.

When ordinary people hear such a request, they may get up and leave.

And Akai Hideichi said as if he didn't care about the information:

"Since it's a transaction, what do you use to exchange?"

If you want to trade, you naturally have to come up with something similar to that.

Whether ancient or modern, intelligence is always the most important thing.

Having the right information means having the initiative.

It can increase the chance of success of the task and reduce the risk of the task.

He wanted to know what the chips were in the black robe.

If it is enough to threaten their tasks, you can indeed consider a transaction.

If you don't want to, don't blame him for using compulsory means.

Anyway, he is not a good person.

Save your life and take it back and ask how you know their identity and contact information.

Such dangerous elements will be resolved early and ended early.

"This thing."

After saying this mysteriously, the man in black robe put a recorder with a headphone connected to the table.

He also thoughtfully pushed two things in front of Hideichi Akai.

Hideichi Akai did not thank the man in black for his thoughtful actions.

There is no need to thank the two of them for their current identities as neither friends nor enemies.

Putting on the headphones, Akai Hideichi picked up the recorder on the desk and turned it on.

There is only one recording in the recorder, and there is no need to ask.

After selecting that recording, Akai Hideichi pressed the play button.

It's very quiet, so quiet that it makes people think that it wasn't played just now.

And Hideichi Akai was patient and listened carefully.

He was very curious about the content of this recording.

What exactly does this recording record? Can it really be compared with the information in their hands?

Soon, he knew the answer.

...

After a brief quiet, a regular sound of footsteps rang out.

It sounds like it's in a quiet room.

Because the footsteps that Akai Hideichi heard were very clear, there was no obvious echo.

Immediately afterwards, a low male voice rang out.

He could hear the sound of the man in black robe in front of him.

I heard the man in black robe say:

"Beautiful lady, can you cooperate with me today?"

"You have been here for a while, don't you really want to go out?"

"You are still young now. Do you really want to stay here until your face is full of wrinkles?"

"Although I have good treatment here, some eat, some live, and some play, it's not a big deal."

"Eat, drink, play, and electricity bills..."

"These are all money."

"You can't make much money here."

"If you cooperate with me, I will not only give you some money, but also let you leave here safely."

"After leaving here, you will be completely free. I will not do the dirty things that will let you go, but will secretly monitor you."

"I am the most trustworthy person."

“You can go shopping, buy clothes, and have afternoon tea with friends…”

"How great."

Although his tone was very good, it was not difficult to hear that the man in black imprisoned a woman.

What is that woman’s identity?

Why would the man in black robes think that this woman can exchange for the information they have in their hands?

besides...
