"What do you want to say?"
Hoshino Aoi turned her head, and the lights outside the car window flashed quickly behind her head.
Between the flickering light and shadow, her eyes were somewhat deep.
Seeing this, Akai Shuichi laughed instead.
He glanced at Aoi Hoshino, whose thorns were raised by his words, and said half jokingly, half tentatively:
"After all, we've been working together for so long, so there's no need to be so wary of me, right? Or..."
His voice suddenly turned deep, and the smile he had on his face suddenly became meaningful:
"What are you hiding from him?"
Hoshino Aoi's eyes narrowed.
She looked at him calmly, her tone no different from usual.
"I'd like to hide something, but with an elite agent like you watching over me, I won't be able to do anything even if I want to, right?"
She did not completely deny his guess, but only said it half-truthfully.
However, it seems that Shuichi Akai should have begun to doubt Toru Amuro's identity at this time.
And it's not just him.
He also suspected that she had already known Toru Amuro's identity and could contact him in some way.
Hoshino Aoi lowered her eyes, hiding her deep thoughts beneath her long eyelashes. On the surface, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said with a half-smile:
"As for being on guard, we're on the same page, right? If that's the case, why do you insist on asking me to open up?"
You obviously can't do it, right?
Akai Shuichi was silent.
After all, all his current suspicions are just suspicions, and if things are really as he guessed, the result will be beneficial to the elimination of the organization.
but……
Shuichi Akai thought about the person who had always been at odds with him, and then looked at the person in front of him who liked to take sides. He felt that if the other party was really an undercover agent arranged by the Japanese police, he might not be willing to cooperate with them.
In that case...
His eyes darkened, as if he was thinking about something, but on the surface he did not continue the previous topic. Instead, he curled the corners of his lips, and the aura around him suddenly relaxed as his smile changed.
"That's true, but I've never hidden anything from you."
Of course, what he meant by not hiding it was actually because he was unable to hide it. After just one encounter, Hoshino Aoi recognized his true identity, not that he really did not hide it.
But there is no need to go into details about this kind of thing, so Shuichi Akai simply omitted the behavior that he wanted to hide but failed to hide, and only said that he did not even hide his plan of faking his death from Aoi Hoshino.
"At most, I just don't want you to tell Bourbon about this."
If this can be considered a defense, then he is being wronged.
Shuichi Akai's expression looked somewhat innocent, as if he was the best man in the world and was wrongly accused by Aoi Hoshino for no reason.
Hoshino Aoi snorted.
She had already gotten the answer from his attitude, so Hoshino Aoi didn't care much about what he said. However, even though she didn't care, she couldn't lose in momentum.
so……
"Why would you bother with me? Judy's trying her best to catch you. Don't worry, I didn't tell Bourbon about your plan, and instead Judy figured out Okiya Subaru's true identity first. What if the FBI's undercover agents accidentally found out..."
It would be none of her business if the plan failed.
There was a look of "Watch the show" written all over Hoshino Aoi's face, and Akai Shuichi frowned slightly at this, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I'm not surprised at all that she would doubt me," or rather 'Okiya Subaru'.
After all, from Judy's point of view, just after receiving the information that the Black Organization had a new code-named member dispatched, a strange figure appeared next to Hoshino Aoi, who had a good relationship with the FBI. Even if the other party was really just an ordinary person, they would definitely monitor him for a period of time before making a judgment.
So Shuichi Akai didn't find it strange, and naturally he wouldn't be upset because of the other party's suspicion.
However, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Shuichi Akai is not someone who allows others to make fun of him, so after finishing his story, he mentioned Toru Amuro as if casually.
"Come to think of it, you should be the one who's worried, right? Bourbon didn't like me when he was in the organization. After all these years, I wonder if this will make him hate joining the FBI..."
Of course, if his guess is correct, he and the 'Scotland' who successfully escaped from the organization under the cover of 'Middles' are colleagues in the same department. Then the reason why he hates the FBI may not have much to do with him, but this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
So when talking about this matter in front of Aoi Hoshino, Shuichi Akai was quite frank, and he really didn't feel that he was lying.
"But have you ever thought about this? If he hates the FBI, and you happen to be close to them..."
If I really encounter it then, I might get squeezed out...
This time it was Shuichi Akai's eyes that were filled with anticipation for a good show.
After all, Middles' temper is not very good, and she was brainwashed by the organization before. Although it is not obvious now, it seems that she has become normal after the brainwashing state was broken, but as "Middles", her emotions have not been very stable.
