Chapter 472

Rei Furuya carefully reviewed Saiki Usaba's proposal, mainly to see if there was anything that could backfire on him.

He had great faith in Usakabe Saiki's abilities when it came to creating entertaining content, but he wasn't so sure about his moral character...

"I understand, but this isn't something I can decide on my own; a report and application need to be submitted." After roughly agreeing to the proposal, Furuya Rei replied in a bureaucratic manner.

Bo Yezhai rolled his eyes: "Then go ahead and interrogate me. Let's see what you do when the undercover agents' identities are exposed."

Rei Furuya coughed, revealing his true purpose, and tentatively asked, "Is there enough time?"

Yes, his main goal was to find out when the organization would take action.

Usakabe Saiki remained calm: "It might be too late."

Jianggu Ling: "..."

This seems like a threat; she probably dislikes his way of trying to extract information.

“Sorry, I’m used to it.” With the help of Morofushi Kagemitsu, Furuya Rei had figured out a way to deal with Usui Saiki, and honesty was the most important thing. “I want to know when Rum will make his move.”

Usaku Saiki seems to have little resistance to honesty, but this isn't because she's easily swayed by gentle persuasion, but rather because her reactions aren't particularly interesting...

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, a look of boredom began to appear in Bo Yezaki's eyes.

Usakabe Saiki turned his head to look at the television that was playing the news, and pointed at the television.

Have you seen this news?

Rei Furuya turned his head and glanced at it.

The news report stated that the maintenance of the Tokyo Aquarium was nearing completion, introduced the new features of the aquarium that would soon reopen, and then announced the opening date.

"I saw it, what's wrong?" Furuya Rei asked, puzzled.

"If you get it sorted out before it opens, that's about it."

Jianggu Ling: "…………"

He began to silently contribute his doubts.

This is so casual... It feels like they just glanced at the TV, randomly picked a date, and booked it...

Is it because Usoppai-ki speaks with such certainty that he has a say in this operation and can set the timing?

Then why did he come to discuss this kind of thing with him? Isn't he worried at all about what might happen to him if the mission fails?

If it were Morofushi Kagemitsu who did this, Furuya Rei would think that Morofushi Kagemitsu was prepared to sacrifice himself to sabotage the operation, but he felt that Usui no Saiki had such a thought of self-sacrifice.

Usaku Saiki is indeed not afraid of death, but he will not die for others.

Even if Bo Yezaki suddenly had a whim to commit suicide, it would be good enough if he didn't make everyone die with him, let alone sacrifice himself to protect others... I wouldn't even dare to dream of something this big.

Think about it. After Morofushi Kagemitsu was exposed, he was the only Japanese public security officer left in the organization. Even if Usuiba Saiki really wanted to protect the undercover list from being leaked, it wouldn't be for those strangers. It was most likely for him. Furuya Rei was very self-aware. He knew that he wasn't that important to Usuiba Saiki.

So, what exactly happened?

Rei Furuya couldn't help but start speculating about conspiracy theories, imagining Usaku Saiki's scheming and methods to be extremely terrifying, but he still couldn't figure out what Usaku Saiki had done to be so brazen in causing trouble.

He hesitated for almost two minutes before suddenly feeling relieved.

There's no point in thinking too much about things related to Usoppō Saiki. He just needs to make sure that nothing goes wrong on his side. Usoppō Saiki knows what's going on in his own life.

"I'll get it done as soon as possible." Furuya Rei sighed. "At this crucial moment, skipping some formalities is fine. At worst, I'll just write a self-criticism."

He's the only undercover agent left in the organization. Do you think the police can fire him?

Anyway, the Japanese Public Security Bureau is used to skipping procedures!

Sasaki Usaba was quite satisfied. After handing the matter over to Rei Furuya, he went back to his carefree and irresponsible ways.

Worried? What's there to worry about?

Forget about the operation date, he doesn't even know what Rum is planning! Neither Rum nor the Boss told him, so how is he supposed to know? That makes sense.

If something really goes wrong on this mission, it won't have anything to do with him—oh, maybe it will have some connection, he needs to seize the opportunity to kick him while he's down.

But that's a matter for later. Right now, all I want to say is that I've worked too hard and need to rest.

Suspicion value system: [...]

It held back for a long time before it finally refrained from saying, "What exactly did you do so hard for? It's just a matter of talking."

The one who really had it tough was Rei Furuya!!!

Rei Furuya's hardship wasn't limited to the tasks assigned to him by Saiki Usaba.

Because of his previous investigation into Shuichi Akai, Rei Furuya also took the opportunity to monitor several other FBI agents.

So when Judy Stairing's friend, who was a teacher at Cuphouse Elementary School, came to his briefcase detective agency with a case, he readily accepted it, thinking that regardless of whether it would be useful or not, he would make contact first.

The client, Natsuko Shibuya, requested that the detective investigate the stalking she felt she was being harassed.

What a perfectly normal request!

But Rei Furuya has been spending too much time with Kogoro Mouri lately, and he's worried that it might turn into a murder case, so he wants to solve it as soon as possible.

But it was precisely at this moment that Usaku Saiki dropped this information on him. No matter how many jobs Furuya Rei usually worked, he only had one body, so he could only deal with the more dangerous matters involving the Japanese Public Security Bureau first.

After two busy days, he received a message from the police.

He said his client had been pushed down the stairs and was hospitalized with a head injury. She was still unconscious, and he found his contact information on her phone, so he asked her to cooperate with the investigation.

Jianggu Ling: "…………"

What's wrong with that stalker? Does he really have to cause trouble for him at a time like this?!

Rei Furuya was furious and drove quickly to Beika Elementary School, hoping to solve the case as soon as possible.

As soon as he entered the office, he discovered something that shocked him.

Two FBI agents were there too!

Yes, Shibuya Natsuko is Jodie's friend. It just so happened that the timing of her phone call was coincidental, so she called Jodie over to ask her questions together.

And also...

Rei Furuya glanced at the two police officers beside him, whose expressions were somewhat subtle.

Date Wataru coughed and said, "Isn't this Mr. Amuro? What are you doing here?"

Kenji Hagiwara sighed: "Because the victim's phone also had records of recent phone calls to him, we called them in to ask about it as well."

He was shocked when he made the call and heard Rei Furuya's voice... but he also gave Rei Furuya a heads-up so that he wouldn't be too surprised to see them now.

Rei Furuya felt awkward for a moment, then remembered that he wasn't a suspect this time, and felt much better.

He smiled and introduced himself: "I am Tooru Amuro, a detective. I was hired by Ms. Natsuko Shibuya to investigate a stalker... I think the gentleman over there probably remembers me."

One of the suspects, a middle-aged man, looked somewhat displeased, but still admitted: "Yes, I've seen him. When I went to that teacher's house to yell at him, he was the one who stopped me."

“Well, I can’t let you hurt my client.” Rei Furuya shrugged, then his eyes turned slightly cold. “But what’s with those two foreigners over there? An English teacher?”

Kouichi Date sensed that Rei Furuya was in a bad mood, so he quickly explained, "He's an FBI agent, currently on vacation in Japan. He's assisting with the investigation because he's a friend of the victim..."

"oh?"

Rei Furuya's gaze grew even colder.

Perhaps it was because his old classmates were all around him, giving him a feeling of returning to the fearless youth he had experienced during his police academy days, or perhaps it was because he was seriously shocked by the description of "FBI assisting in the investigation," but Furuya Rei felt his emotions becoming somewhat irritable.

"I often see FBI agents in movies and TV shows, always trying to get credit and stand out, interfering with other people's investigations without permission, and showing no respect for other police officers. Viewers hate them so much they grit their teeth..." (*Note)

Agent Cameron's Japanese has improved now, so he shouldn't be unable to understand Furuya Rei's sarcasm. He immediately looked enraged and said, "What did you say?!"

Rei Furuya, however, looked completely innocent: "I didn't mean that's what you meant, it's just that this is the kind of story I saw."

Cameron was tongue-tied and knew the other party was making veiled attacks, but he didn't know how to refute them.

Wataru Date and Kenji Hagiwara couldn't stand it anymore.

Furuya! Do you even remember you're an undercover agent?! I know you hate the FBI swaggering around in Japan, but you can't be this obvious!!!

Left with no other choice, Kenji Hagiwara had to apologize to Shinryu Samikawa.

"I almost thought that was said by Shinryu Sakkawa." Kenji Hagiwara made Shinryu Sakkawa's presence known to the FBI again, implying that it's normal that many people dislike the FBI.

He felt that if Han Chuan Shenliu himself were here, he might just add fuel to the fire, so there was no need for him to help shift the focus.

It wasn't that he really wanted to betray Hanukawa Shinryu; he felt Hanukawa Shinryu wouldn't mind, and might even enjoy it. The key point was, based on his understanding of these two FBI agents…

Sure enough, upon hearing the name Shinryu Hanakawa, the two FBI agents' angry expressions instantly froze and cooled down.

The two agents fell into an eerie silence.

Perhaps it's because she's reminded of her past experiences of being proven wrong... Accepting that you're not popular isn't always that hard, at least it's not Hanchuan Shenliu saying this now.

Inspector Megure wiped his sweat: "Kanakawa-kun, Kanakawa-kun also has friends in the FBI, and has even helped the FBI solve cases... Everyone knows that TV dramas and movies are just dramatic scenes for the sake of the plot..."

"I see. So the FBI needs outside help to solve cases. No wonder Ms. Shibuya, who has a friend who is an FBI agent, still asked me to help investigate the stalker case."

Judy, at her wit's end, exclaimed, "What do you mean?!"

Cameron tried to explain: "This is probably because we're just here in Japan on vacation, and we're sorry to trouble you..."

"Oh, I see. It's a vacation."

Speaking of this, Rei Furuya became even angrier—what vacation! It's just an excuse! How much have they interfered in Japan's affairs?!

"If this is a visa-free vacation, your stay should be expiring soon, right? I've seen everything I needed to see. Could you please leave Japan as soon as possible?"

Date Wataru: "…………"

Hagihara Kenji: "…………"

Conan Edogawa: "…………"

His brother, Bo Ye, was right. This performance showed that if Mr. Amuro wasn't a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, he would never mention Sherlock Holmes again!
