Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
A pleasant ringtone rang out in the dim hotel room. The purple-haired young man, who was burrowing in the quilt, reached out to the bedside table and pressed the off button of the alarm clock, but found that the ringtone did not disappear.
He got up in confusion and realized that the sound was not from the alarm clock, but from his cell phone, and the caller ID showed Herbert Michel.
Fujiwara Yuu propped himself up and slowly sat up. He pressed the answer button. His voice was a little low and hoarse because he was still sleepy, mixed with the mood of waking up, and his tone was inevitably a little unfriendly:
"Mr. Herbert, have you forgotten that there is a thirteen-hour time difference between us? It's only three o'clock in the morning."
[To be honest, I've been using Yeguo Reader to keep up with updates lately. It's easy to switch between sources, and has a variety of reading voices. .yeguoyuedu is available for both Android and Apple devices.]
You know, he has been trying to find out about the boy with the little fangs during this period, but he couldn't find anything, so his sleep quality was poor during this period.
Last night, I stayed up all night searching for "Edogawa Conan" but to no avail. I was so angry that I didn't fall asleep until 2 a.m. Now, I finally fell asleep, but I woke myself up in less than an hour. Everyone has their temper when they wake up.
The usually calm Yinsen Hondo could no longer contain his excitement. He ignored the time difference and spoke very quickly:
"Claire, don't sleep. There's been some progress on the person you asked me to investigate a while ago, and you've met this person once before."
Progress, a chance encounter?
Fujiwara Yumoto's confused mind suddenly came to its senses. He gripped his phone tightly and asked:
"Is it about the rye whiskey? Who is he?"
Ever since he met Rye Whiskey at the station last month, he had been painting his face with a paintbrush back at the hotel, drawing a version without sunglasses and a version he imagined with sunglasses off.
If the boy with the canine teeth and Rye Whiskey were brothers, then it wouldn't be surprising if they had the same eyes. And after the eyes were filled in, the face seemed even more familiar. Maybe my thoughts were right.
"Do you still remember the vicious case you were involved in when you first came to the United States?" Yinsen Hondou did not give the answer directly, but kept Fujiwara Yu in suspense and let him recall his first encounter with rye whiskey.
A vicious case encountered in the United States?
Fujiwara Yu couldn't help but fall into memories. He remembered that he was not in a good mood when he first arrived in the United States, so he declined Mr. Hondou's invitation and rented a car to go to the border between Canada and the United States alone, wanting to see Niagara Falls.
After enjoying the waterfall, we found it was already late, so we simply found a hotel in the suburbs to stay in. Little did we know that the next morning, before we woke up, we heard the voice of "FBI open the door" outside the door.
"Of course I remember it. It was also the first time in my life that I was interrogated as a suspect. However, I was quickly cleared of suspicion, and it seems that the FBI investigator who spoke on my behalf eventually solved the case, right?"
"Don't you think that investigator's face looks familiar?"
"?"
Fujiwara Yuu then realized that the FBI investigator was wearing a black woolen hat, and didn't he look exactly like Rye Whiskey? So Rye Whiskey's true identity was an FBI investigator working undercover?
What a coincidence, the three people codenamed Whiskey are all undercover agents.
"I used your ID card to log into the CIA's intelligence database, but I only found out that his real name is Shuichi Akai. The rest of his identity information is unknown, even his age. I couldn't find it. The FBI must have deliberately concealed it." Yinsen Hondou explained.
To become a qualified undercover agent, the first thing they have to do is to erase themselves. They want to become a completely new person, so naturally they have to abandon all their past experiences. It is normal that they cannot find any information about their original identity.
Is that Shuichi Akai?
You were able to solve that vicious serial murder case in just one month. Even though you are so outstanding, you are just an ordinary code-name member in the organization. It seems that if we want to wipe out the organization, we have to take a long-term approach.
"Heh, they've got quite a reach. Are the FBI planning to take over the CIA? When will it be their turn to investigate transnational criminal organizations? If the Japanese find out, it will affect us."
The FBI and the CIA are like natural enemies. It is possible that they will secretly compete with each other when working together. Even though Fujiwara Yu, a CIA agent, admires the ability of FBI investigator Akai Shuichi, he also dislikes him because of this "traditional culture".
Besides, the CIA is mainly responsible for external intelligence tasks. When the FBI, whose job is to deal with internal affairs, comes to their territory to steal their jobs, this behavior will be regarded as a shameless act in the future.
Yinsen Hondo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Although the two organizations didn't like each other, they would cooperate honestly when facing an enemy. He didn't expose Fujiwara Yu's occasional "childish remarks" and said in a follow-up tone:
"So what does our Mr. Krel plan to do? Report this news to the organization and get our people closer to the core of the organization?"
"The organization's people aren't stupid. If we rashly let Kiel report the information, how will we explain it during interrogation?" Fujiwara Yuu knew what Yinsen Hondou was thinking. He stood up and grabbed the free bottle of mineral water provided by the hotel, moistening his throat before continuing, "Don't worry, I won't put Kiel in an awkward position. I will handle it properly."
"Of course I believe in you. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Last year, you saved me..."
