Chapter 2558 2570 [Let Me Shoot]

On the other end of the phone, James said regretfully, "We didn't see any suspected members of the organization nearby. Shuichi reversely deduced the sniper point that could aim at the window, but there was no one there... Sigh, I don't know if the organization is confident that Kobayashi Seiji will not be exposed, or if they have other ways to silence him."

Judy remembered the painter's arrogant and self-righteous look, and couldn't help but grit her teeth: "How could this happen..."

James sighed, "After all, we can't provide direct evidence that Kobayashi Seiji knew about it in advance... Alas, this is the most troublesome thing about dealing with Uzo and his men."

Judy agreed. "Yes, it's hard to convict someone of incitement, let alone this kind of incitement without any trace. It would be great if we could figure out the process of those guys' guidance. Unfortunately, it seems that we can't find any clues for the time being."

Akai Shuichi interrupted the two men's pessimistic speeches: "Everything you have done will definitely leave traces. But if you want to deal with Uzo, you really can't just start from this point."

James was startled and a little alert: "What do you want to do?" - Don't go astray. He only has this reliable trump card. If Xiuyi is arrested or deported for his extreme behavior...

"You guys focus on dealing with Vermouth." Akai Shuichi did not answer his question, but only said, "I'll figure out a solution for Uzo."

…

While the FBI is busy assigning tasks.

On the other hand, the public security officers are also worried about similar matters.

Relying on the authority and connections of the public security department, Yuya Kazami obtained all the testimonies from the Investigation Section almost simultaneously.

He quickly screened through it, removed the duplicate content, and then sent the simply summarized transcript to Toru Amuro's email.

After that, he reopened the other file he had just interrupted, and faced the shaking camera, staring anxiously at the pile of photos and videos taken by passers-by, continuing to look for useful information from them.

Toru Amuro noticed the vibration of his phone, stopped the car on the side of the road, and lowered his head to read.

As an intelligence agent who has worked countless jobs, he obviously has a strong ability to screen information. Soon, Toru Amuro paused and his eyes fell on one of the testimonies.

"That bastard FBI took someone hostage and pushed the hostage into the range of a sniper rifle?"

Toru Amuro already knew that Shuichi Akai was on that bus, so when he was reading the transcript, his eyes automatically translated "tall man wearing a knitted hat" into "Shuiichi Akai".

The scene described in the transcript made him frown in confusion, and he felt that something was wrong.

"Although Akai is a bit crazy sometimes, he won't do evil without reason. He is no longer an undercover agent, so there is no need for him to continue to be a murderer. But today he took a hostage in public... unless in his eyes, the person he held hostage can threaten the sniper outside the window."

As this thought flashed through his mind, an idea naturally formed in his mind, and Amuro Toru's heartbeat gradually accelerated: "In other words, the guy he held hostage is actually a member of the organization with a high status? In addition, according to my speculation, Usa is probably also on this bus... Could it be that the one Akai is holding is Usa's real body?!"

He unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone, pressed the down button with his fingertips, and looked down quickly.

...Then he saw that the hijacking had no effect - faced with this situation, the sniper in the distance did not hesitate and pulled the trigger decisively.

Toru Amuro: "..."

...Guessed wrong?

"No, I can't be so arbitrary." Amuro Toru took a deep breath and thought rationally, "Although I have never met Uzo himself and have no specific understanding of his status and identity, but from the feeling I have had during this period of contact... If I were a sniper, I would definitely shoot immediately, and I would even be afraid that I could not kill two birds with one stone."

"Given the way Usa behaves, I'm sure I'm not the only unlucky cadre in the organization who has suffered greatly from him. And in a situation where killing Usa can also kill Akai Shuichi, there will definitely be people who can't resist the temptation and want to take a gamble, using the merit of killing Akai to offset the guilt of accidentally killing a colleague."

"And as I recall, Gin was also nearby, so it's very likely that he was the one responsible for the sniping. Given his hatred for Akai Shuichi, as long as he confirmed that Akai was there, he would probably have shot without even looking at the person blocking the way... In short, we can't assume that Akai had made a mistake based solely on the sniper's reaction."

And if we assume that Akai Shuichi did not make a mistake, the hostage is indeed Usa...

Toru Amuro lowered his head and reviewed the transcript again.

This time, his attention was more focused on the "hostage" than on Shuichi Akai.

"'Mr. Kurosawa'?" Amuro Toru repeated in a low voice the witness's name for the hostage, and it seemed familiar to him.

This transcript contains very little content, and the focus is more on Shuichi Akai.

Toru Amuro thought about it, swiped the screen, and looked again at the transcripts left by other witnesses.

Then he discovered that from other people's perspectives, this was actually a completely different story of "a man in a knitted hat bravely saving a curly-haired passenger"... Fortunately, although this was confusing, Toru Amuro successfully found the information he wanted from other passengers - he saw the hostage's physical characteristics.

"Black curly hair, all in black... and handsome?" Combined with the not-too-common surname "Kurosawa", suddenly, a memory jumped out from the depths of his mind, causing Toru Amuro to shudder and sit up straight.

"I remember when I was traveling with Jiang Xia before, I met a guy who looked very much like Matsuda in the Golden Villa." Amuro Toru's pupils shrank slightly, "If I remember correctly, that guy called himself 'Kurosawa'!"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the next moment, his cell phone buzzed and new information came from his subordinates.

——Yuya Kazami and the others finally finished screening the videos and photos and sent the results to his phone.

This was the first time that Toru Amuro felt so satisfied with the work efficiency of his subordinate. He didn't even bother to reply but quickly clicked on it to check it out.

Today's bus explosion caused a big stir, and there are always a lot of onlookers in Tokyo, so the Internet is flooded with related photos.

However, after setting the two limiting conditions of "being able to see the face clearly" and "the location where the vodka vehicle is approaching", a large number of useless videos were filtered out, leaving only a dozen or so.

In addition, Yuya Kazami was thoughtful enough to take separate screenshots of the passengers in the target area and added relevant numbers.
