1:20 p.m.
There was a cold wind blowing on the rooftop. After his men retreated, Bourbon walked onto the rooftop alone.
At the edge of the rooftop, a long-haired man wearing a knitted hat was facing away from him, with a cigarette in his mouth, his hands in his coat pockets, and his eyes looking calmly into the distance.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Akai Shuichi slowly turned around, looked at Bourbon with a little blood on his clothes, and spoke softly:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
After confirming that the other person was himself, Bourbon took a deep breath and his body trembled slightly, as if he could not suppress his emotions:
"I've waited too long for this day, Akai!"
"My name is Shuichi, not my country."
As soon as the words came out, the air suddenly became much colder. Bourbon said coldly:
"You think this is funny?"
"No offense, just a joke."
Akai Shuichi raised his empty hands to show that he had no hostility:
"It's been so long since we last met, and you still don't have a sense of humor. You'll never find a girlfriend if you keep going like this, Bourbon... Oh no, are you called Amuro Toru now, or Furuya Rei?"
"Wild dogs who are afraid of the light always like to hide in the shadows and bark wildly."
Bourbon raised his pistol and pointed it at Akai Shuichi's chest. After thinking for a moment, he raised it a little higher and pointed it at his head:
"Arrogant people usually don't have a good ending. It's a pity that you don't understand this truth."
"Although our positions are different, we are essentially the same. We are all wolves that want to devour them completely..."
Even though he was pointed at with a gun, Akai Shuichi did not panic and remained calm:
"There's no need for war between us, is there?"
"It seems that the elderly boss did not tell you the truth."
Bourbon's smile was full of contempt:
"You and I belong to different agencies. Not only do we have different positions, but we also represent forces that are not of the same mind. If they were willing to unite, why would the FBI be hiding like a stray dog?"
"Akai, Akai, you still haven't figured out your position. We are incompatible. War is inevitable. The FBI and we will have a battle sooner or later, but it can only be done in secret."
"Killing you today is not only to avenge him, but also for the country behind me."
"It's you who doesn't understand the situation."
Before Bourbon pulled the trigger, Akai Shuichi suddenly said:
"If we want to take action against the force you belong to, do you think you can resist it?"
"From the beginning to the end, the orders I received were to investigate the Black Organization, not to attack you. War is just a game played by politicians. You and I are just pawns in their hands. But whether they start a war or not depends entirely on the intelligence we send back, isn't it?"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Bourbon narrowed his eyes, vaguely aware of the other party's thoughts.
"I could have left with Judy and the others, but I stayed here specifically to explain the current situation to you."
Putting down his arms, Akai Shuichi smiled silently:
"We have all been undercover in the organization for a long time. You should know clearly what Gin and the others are doing."
"Based on what you just said, it's clear that you already know the true purpose of the forces behind both of us. War is not inevitable. Even if we are just a pawn, we can do things that others can't do... as long as we join forces."
"Do you think I will believe you?"
Bourbon says:
"If you were trustworthy, you could have saved him, but you didn't."
“.......”
Akai Shuichi moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
He knew what the knot that Bourbon couldn't untie was: Scotch whisky, the undercover agent who committed suicide in front of him and belonged to the same force as Bourbon.
The other party is also Bourbon's close friend.
But he had tried his best to save the other person. The reason he failed was because Bourbon suddenly appeared, and Scotch didn't know the identity of the person and shot himself.
Even though he later knew that this was a tragedy caused by misunderstanding, Shuichi Akai still couldn't say it.
Faced with Bourbon's accusations, he didn't know how to start.
Indeed, if he wanted, he would have a chance to save Scotch, but when the footsteps sounded, he hesitated for a moment, and it was this moment that led to the current situation.
Bourbon knew that Scotch committed suicide, which was why he hadn't shot himself until now. The other party wanted to ask him the truth about why Scotch shot himself....
"If you were not undercover, I could understand your actions because you had no other choice."
Bourbon's breathing became heavier, and his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole:
"But since you are an FBI investigator, why didn't you stop him after you knew his identity?!"
Akai Shuichi remained silent, just looked at him with a complicated look.
"Answer me! Akai!"
Throwing away the pistol, Bourbon actually rushed forward and punched Akai Shuichi in the face. While beating him up, he shouted angrily:
"Why!"
"Why!!"
"Why!!!"
Bang!
Clamping Bourbon's wrist, Akai Shuichi spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and said:
"Do you think this is just a child's play?!"
Bang!
The punch hit Bourbon's back and instantly bent like a shrimp, and he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
Then, Akai Shuichi punched him again, knocking him back a few steps, and said coldly:
"I've always believed that you're not a cowardly man, Bourbon. The person you should hate is not me! But the culprit who forced Scotch to make the decision to commit suicide!"
"asshole!!!"
After standing up, Bourbon rushed forward again.
"The fight has started, the fight has started!"
In the shadows of the corridor, Kidd looked at the two people fighting on the rooftop and said excitedly:
"What a show!"
“It was really wonderful....”
Makoto Sakaki was not very interested in the duel between Bourbon and Akai Shuichi, although the fight between the two was quite entertaining, but...
He cared more about what Akai Shuichi had just said.
What does it mean to do something that others can't do?
Does Shuichi Akai want to join forces with Bourbon, or does the FBI want to join forces with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, to which Bourbon belongs?
If this is what Akai Shu meant, then it is good news for Sakaki Makoto. If it is what the FBI high-level officials meant....
It's no different from a bolt from the blue.
CIA, Japanese Public Security Bureau, FBI, Interpol...
The Red Team's power is already strong enough. Once these people unite, it will be a disaster for the Black Organization.
Makoto Sakaki doesn't think that the Black Organization can withstand the siege from multiple powerful forces.
After weighing the pros and cons, Sakaki Makoto felt that he could not miss this opportunity. The former was just icing on the cake, but the latter would be a disaster!
Kill Akai Shuichi....
It is imperative!
