Chapter 130 Main Thread Progress
322.
After Shuichi Akai directly exposed his identity, the atmosphere in the ward did not improve, and it even became colder.
Even Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand was shaking as he pulled the trigger, as if the bullet would leave the chamber in the next second and shoot the expressionless FBI agent in the head.
Akai Shuichi's mind was blank for a moment. He raised his hand and spoke carefully and calmly: "Don't you want to talk?"
Furiya Rei was almost laughing at his nonchalant attitude. He didn't know what confidence Akai Shuichi had to appear in front of him - even after knowing his identity.
Could it be that the FBI guys have gone to such lengths to achieve their goals? !
"Okay, let's go talk next door." He took a deep breath and sneered, "I want to see what you can say!"
The blond man withdrew his hand and turned away. The force with which he opened the door seemed to be enough to remove the door handle.
Shuichi Akai exchanged glances with the man next to him. He now remembered this policeman, the man who came with Shinso and Chianti to the love hotel.
He remembered his name was...
The brown-haired man looked at him with a fake smile, losing his usual gentle appearance and becoming gloomy: "Zhufu Jingguang."
"Inspector Afu." Shuichi Akai didn't know whether the other party still remembered him, but he still nodded calmly, without any further greetings, and followed him out.
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Chiyodani Toru lying on the hospital bed. After hesitating for a while, he was unwilling to miss the confrontation with the FBI, so he put the pistol back into the gun bag and gently closed the door.
"Ambush officers!"
As soon as Morofushi Kagemitsu went out, he heard a voice calling his name. He looked down and found Conan Edogawa in a hospital gown standing at the door.
The young detective whispered, "What happened? I saw them..."
"It's okay, you should go back to sleep." Zhu Fu Jingguang perfunctorily said to the child, he forced a smile, "Do you want me to call Miss Maori?"
Of course Conan Edogawa didn't want to leave. He got up to go to the bathroom again this time, and happened to see Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro walking into the next room. His curiosity instantly exploded.
But the one on guard tonight was Morobushi Jingguang, and he was not familiar with this police officer who looked gentle but was actually a bit cold.
The young detective used his cute tricks without hesitation. He hugged Morobushi Jingguang's calf and said eagerly, "Officer Morobushi, can't I listen?"
In fact, the bug was taped to his trouser leg.
Morofushi Kagemitsu was upset at this time. He rejected Edogawa Conan decisively, watched the child return to his ward, and then walked straight into the next room.
It was still the familiar compartment. Shuichi Akai and Rei Furuya stood face to face. Both of them had expressionless looks. The difference was that there was a hint of confusion in the former's eyes, while the latter seemed to be pregnant with a huge storm.
"Bang."
The sound of Morofushi Jingguang closing the door became the signal to start the war.
"Bourbon, Amuro Toru, formerly known as Furuya Rei... Japanese Public Security, right?" Akai Shuichi couldn't stand the dull environment and attacked directly, "In dealing with organizations, the Japanese Public Security and the FBI should be in a cooperative relationship."
Fūya Ling said indifferently: "We don't really want to cooperate with you. Before I take action, I will give you a chance to leave."
"Why did you do it?" Akai Shuichi frowned. He said, "It's no secret that you attacked the organization's base and took away Shinsou. The FBI and the organization are hostile. Don't worry that we will tell anyone. As for intelligence... we have no intention of exploring the internal affairs of the Public Security Bureau."
Furiya Reiki smiled and clenched his fists: "Shall we take the Shinsou away?"
"That information should be given by Shen Suo, right?"
Shuichi Akai stated his guess straightforwardly, revealing all his reasoning except the part about the stand, to prove that he was aware of the hard work of the public security and was willing to pay for it.
As he spoke, the expressions of the two police officers in the room became more and more ugly.
Furiya Rei felt that the emotions that he had suppressed with great difficulty began to surge again, and a fishy and sweet taste seemed to rise in his throat.
Shinsou, did you hear me? Until now, this man has treated you as a mere tool for his own use. His heart is so hard that it's terrifying!
Akai Shuichi...it's not worth it.
And now it seems that in the eyes of others, their rescue operation is actually a raid to capture members of the organization. No wonder the organization is angry, but it did not vent its anger on other people, but directed its spearhead at the public security.
This truth made Furukaya Rei, the planner, feel as if he was pierced by thousands of arrows.
The brown-haired man next to him had a look on his face that could only be described as ashen.
Morofushi Kagemitsu knew about the existence of Akai Shuichi.
At that time, it was this man who approached Shensuo and the others with his upper body naked and ulterior motives, and even used this as a springboard to join the organization.
He admitted that Shuichi Akai's appearance and temperament did give people a sense of security, but this only contrasted with how selfish his behavior of defecting from the organization and abandoning Shinsou was.
From an undercover perspective, it is understandable, but why should he understand an FBI agent? !
Senior...
C, who is in control of everything, couldn't have expected the betrayal of his own people, right?
When Shinsou was betrayed by his friends in the organization, she had no one to confide in. She even forced herself to plan for him in the cracks and used her last time to help the police.
Zhu Fu Jingguang admitted that he had a part in refusing to negotiate with the FBI. He wished he had just shot the guy directly so that he could use the excuse of conditioned reflex to shirk responsibility.
What a shame, he thought grimly.
----------
"...your identity has not been exposed. In terms of intelligence sharing, the FBI will also open its database." Akai Shuichi's voice was very steady and his narration was very logical. He said in a deep voice, "We come here with sincerity."
Fūya Rei couldn't bear it any longer, he swung out with a punch, and while Akai Shuichi dodged, the punch hit the wall next to him, causing powder to fall off.
"Sincerity?" He lowered his voice and asked, "Sincerity of the FBI?"
Akai Shuichi's brows were deeply furrowed. He could sense that something was wrong with the two men, but he really didn't know why.
He did not move, but repeated again: "We do come with sincerity."
"Sincerity means taking advantage of Shinsou's opportunity to join the organization, toying with her feelings and then defecting, leaving her alone in the organization to face Gin and the others' accusations?!"
Furiya Rei looked into his eyes, the rage in them seemed to be able to burn the entire space.
Akai Shuichi's throat seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his olive green eyes.
Shinso...
Did Bourbon's anger towards him stem from Cinsault?
"Bourbon, I don't think now is the time to discuss these romantic matters." He said, looking at Morobushi Kagemitsu, trying to get Furiya Rei's colleague to come to his senses, "I know you have a crush on Shinsou, but now I represent the FBI, and you are the public security..."
“Shut up!” The blond man’s voice suddenly rose, so sharp that it seemed to be able to pass through the soundproof room to the other side. He gritted his teeth and said, “Shinso is from the Public Security Bureau… She is from the Public Security Bureau!”
Akai Hideichi's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "How could Shinsou be a member of the Public Security Bureau?"
Even though that woman looked weak, she had definitely killed many people. She could even shoot an "innocent person" like him at the entrance of the staircase - have the police gone to such lengths?
Moreover, if he was from the Public Security Bureau, why did she let him search Morobushi Jingguang in the first place? Did she already know that Akai Shuichi was from the FBI and wanted to join the organization?
Akai Shuichi's question was answered after Furuya Rei spoke.
"She has been like this from the beginning to the end." Fūya Rei's mouth twitched, his purple-gray eyes darkened, "Do you think she doesn't know your identity? Do you think Shinsou would just find anyone and bring him into the organization?!"
Akai Shuichi opened his mouth slightly, with a trace of confusion in his eyes: "I..."
"You fucking think you ran away so smoothly while she didn't even have any strength behind you?!" Furiya Rei grabbed him by the collar and punched him again, "Akai Shuichi, you're a bastard!"
This time, Akai Shuichi did not dodge, and Furiya Rei's fist hit his shoulder, causing a burst of pain and also making the former's mind clearer.
Shinsou is a member of the Public Security Bureau, and he always has been! When he asked him to search Morobushi Jingguang, it was probably to find out his background.
She knew from the beginning that she was an undercover agent sent by the FBI to the organization!
In this way, Shuichi Akai's previous inference was once again overturned.
The FBI agent, whose clothes were ripped to pieces and already a bit frantic, was startled. He asked, "What about the explosion at the base where Shinsou was imprisoned..."
The blond man in front of him suddenly looked depressed, like a dog that was kicked hard while walking on the side of the road. He lowered his head slightly and said in a trembling voice: "We want to save her..."
"We just want to save her."
But they failed, and the consequences were so tragic that some people didn't even have the courage to face it.
Morofushi Kagemitsu had been standing by without saying a word, but his condition was even worse than that of the emotionally agitated Furutani Rei. His blue-gray eyes had lost all their brilliance and became gloomy and desolate, like a cold wind blowing across a wasteland.
After such a long time, anyone can realize what the truth is.
Chiyodani Toru was in a coma, and the rest of his companions were in a state of panic. He could no longer contact C, and that sweet voice seemed to be from a distant past life.
Zhufu Jingguang spoke again at this time, saying that he used kissing to transfer energy to prolong the life of Shensuo, he did not have hallucinations, and everything was useless.
His dream...finally woke up.
------
Furiya Rei's attitude has already explained too many problems. Akai Shuichi's breath was stagnant. He said: "So Shinsou is not on your side?"
"Where do you think that information came from?" Furiya Rei asked him back, with deep hatred in his eyes, "After you defected, Shinsou was put under house arrest by the organization for a reason, and then moved to a silent and dark room... She can't see it anyway!"
The blond man accidentally omitted the fact that Shirley had defected.
In Furiya Rei's opinion, the biggest backstabber in this whole incident is Akai Shuichi. I'm sure even Shinsou himself could not have expected that the FBI could be so cruel.
——How could he stand here calmly and negotiate with him with such nonchalant arrogance about the information that Shenzou had exchanged his life for? !
Shuichi Akai knows that Shinsou has poor eyesight.
Therefore, this silent room must be pure mental torture for her. The organization does not often use this method to torture people. It can be inferred from the side that Shinsou's body cannot withstand other methods, and some information must be pried out from her mouth.
...about his whereabouts?
Shuichi Akai never told Shinsou about his plan from beginning to end. Even when facing Cameron's questioning when leaving Japan, he still gave up taking her with him on the grounds that Shinsou was a member of the Black Organization.
But now, once the premise that Shinsou is a public security official exists, his reason becomes invalid.
Akai Shuichi frowned, his throat moved, but he didn't say a word.
Until now, he still finds it hard to understand how he ended up in this situation...
How much pressure did Shinsou bear for him in secret? What did that person think after learning that he had defected and left Japan?
The usually calm and self-sustaining FBI suddenly felt a little sour.
Seeing Akai Shuichi remain silent, Furuya Rei sneered and continued, "So she couldn't survive, and told me all the information she knew before committing suicide."
"She didn't ask you to save her." Akai Shuichi said hoarsely, "But you did it, so..."
From another perspective, all of this makes sense again: Shensuo was heartbroken and wanted to commit suicide. After telling the intelligence to her colleagues, she did not expect that the other party would have selfish motives and even mobilized a large number of people to rescue her, which resulted in this situation.
Furutani Rei let out a sigh. He no longer even had the energy to get angry. An intense feeling of powerlessness enveloped him, making him feel completely cold.
Yes, Shuichi Akai might be the fuse, the source of Shinsou's betrayal, but the ones who really did it... were them.
Fūya Ling was a little afraid to look back at his childhood sweetheart.
As the person who last saw Shinsou and even risked his own life to bring her back, Morobushi Kagemitsu felt even more pain than him.
After recovering and getting the truth from them, Morobushi Jingguang locked himself in the room for a whole day without drinking or drinking. The others were so scared that they almost broke down the door. Morobushi Jingguang pushed the door open, revealing a face that looked so haggard that he looked like he would faint and go back to the hospital in the next second, and said he was fine.
But how can it be okay?
As long as Chiyodani Toru is unconscious, this sword of Damocles will always hang over their heads; and as long as he wakes up, they are afraid to see Chiyodani Toru's disappointed and hateful eyes.
No——their sensible and upright companions would not hate them. They would just suppress their deep regret and powerlessness in their hearts and forgive them with a mask of kindness.
But everyone knew that it meant that their once close relationship was gone.
Rei Furuya felt that he no longer had the energy to argue with Shuichi Akai. He just wanted the FBI to get out of Japan as far as possible.
On what fucking basis?
Why would the FBI, who is so high up, just want to take the data that Shinso had to endure so much pressure and pain to get back?!
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Shuichi Akai didn't know what to say for a moment. His dark green eyes reflected the white light from above and became extremely blurry.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Public Security... let's continue to talk about intelligence sharing."
“Click.”
There was a sound of something breaking, and Furiya Rei could no longer suppress the anger that suddenly rose in his heart. Various negative emotions mixed together, and his rationality was instantly overwhelmed.
Looking at Akai Shuichi's indifferent face, the blond man had an almost sly expression and punched him directly in the eye.
Akai Hide half-reluctantly blocked the question, turned his head and coughed twice: "No matter what, what we represent is still..."
"I don't want to listen!"
Fūya Rei used all the fighting skills he had learned throughout his life, and the originally small room was occupied by two people - perhaps one was passively defending and the other was actively attacking.
Shuichi Akai deliberately reduced his strength and allowed Furukaya Rei's fists and feet to fall on him.
While protecting his vital parts, he used harsh words to provoke the opponent's anger, making Fūya Ling want to punch him a few more times - even he himself could not figure out what he was thinking at the moment.
Bourbon undoubtedly had a crush on Shinsou, but as fate would have it, Shinsou died at the hands of the police.
But all this is inseparable from his defection.
It can even be said that if it weren't for Shuichi Akai, Shinsou would not have been treated like this. She would have continued to be undercover in the organization safely, becoming the most secretive nail, providing intelligence to the public security continuously until the organization was defeated.
Instead of being treated as a suspicious person who helped the traitor escape, he chose to commit suicide like a withered flower under mental torture.
But now, Shuichi Akai seriously wants to get the information that Shinsou exchanged his life for from the public security.
When this matter was exposed, even someone as cold and hard as him, Akai Shuichi, felt a little choked up. It seemed that a crack appeared in the copper and iron walls of his heart that were forged with will and belief, and blood gushed out from it, with nowhere to vent.
He didn't know how to apologize.
Having restrained all his emotions, and realizing when he became an undercover agent that there was no turning back and that he could even shoot his companions if necessary, Akai Shuichi thought he could ignore all these emotions and be firm in his choice.
But looking at Furuya Rei's bloodshot eyes, filled with hatred that burned everything, he was unable to utter the words most commonly used by the FBI in negotiations.
Only the most hateful sentence was left:
"It's all over now, let's talk about intelligence first."
"Bang!"
The dull sound of fists hitting flesh was very clear in this space, mixed with heavy breathing. Furi Rei gritted his teeth, wishing he could knock Akai Shuichi to the ground.
The latter, on the contrary, lost more and more strength. His olive green eyes were silent, and all the sharpness was restrained. In the end, he even stopped fighting back completely, and let Furukaya Rei attack him.
"That's enough, zero."
Seeing the situation taking a turn for the more embarrassing, Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had been silent for half a minute, finally spoke. He walked over, grabbed Furukaya Rei's shoulder, and moved him behind him.
At this time, it was gloomy outside the window, with no stars or moon, and the sky was depressing as if heavy rain would fall at any time.
Shuichi Akai stood up slowly, shook his head, coughed a few times, and the broken wound on his face was bleeding slightly. He was silent, like a pool of dark, deep water.
"Have you calmed down?" He said in a somewhat vague voice, "...I'm sorry about this whole thing."
Obviously, a swollen face is no joke.
Furiya Ling sneered and said nothing.
His move just now was indeed fierce, and he could naturally feel that this guy was obviously holding back and still let him do it.
After all, he is the trump card of the FBI and the recognized silver bullet of the organization. His strength has not declined to this extent.
But...how much use can this purposeful guilt be now?
"Shinso has really helped me a lot." Akai Shuichi took a deep breath, "She is a qualified public security officer."
He perfectly blends himself into the darkness. Even when his body is declining, he can still provide the police with a lot of intelligence, and even use his natural weakness as a shield to lower the organization's defenses...
Shuichi Akai didn't know how Shinsou did all this, but there was no doubt that if he had asked one more question when he left, this situation would not have happened.
So...he took the beating.
The pain in his body caused his fingers to spasm slightly, which temporarily suppressed the waves in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he was still the calm and cruel Shuichi Akai.
Morobushi Jingguang said coldly: "We all know how good the senior is, but for this data...how much can the FBI offer in exchange?"
The fact that the police used the word "can" instead of "willing" is enough to show that they want the FBI to bleed heavily.
Akai Shuichi's mouth twitched, revealing a polite smile: "I will go back and discuss it again."
"Then please go back." Morofushi Kagemitsu nodded, and he looked at Akai Shuichi solemnly, "Since the senior has chosen to protect you, we will not do anything to you for the time being."
For now. After the organization is destroyed, Morobu Jingguang will definitely be the first one to draw his gun and drive the FBI out.
"There's one more thing." Akai Shuichi raised his hand to wipe the blood and said calmly, "I want to ask about Chiyodani Toru. He and Shinsou are related by blood, right?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded and said bitterly: "They are siblings."
Saori is her superior and Toru is his classmate, two very important people in his life.
"Why is he unconscious?"
No matter how much one hates the FBI, the two sides can indeed be considered to have a cooperative relationship.
Furiya Rei spoke reluctantly, repeating the answer that broke his heart: "There is a certain induction between the twins, and Shinsou's death has caused a great impact on him."
Akai Shuichi's brows furrowed deeply, and the sharpness reappeared in his dark green eyes. He even looked at the two people with consideration: "Can you ensure his reliability?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes turned cold: "What do you mean?"
Shuichi Akai didn't mean anything. He just felt that if Shinsou was sure that it was public security, then no matter how you looked at it, she shouldn't have shot directly at the vital parts of an "ordinary person" before Gin could react.
That behavior was so strange that Shuichi Akai came to his senses and came to think of other possibilities - what if it was indeed not Shinsou?
Chiyodani Toru looks so similar to Shinsou, why would the organization let him work as a policeman outside?
The more he thought about it, the more Shuichi Akai felt something was wrong, especially since there was a Granmani in the organization active in Tokyo, but he disappeared after the Shinso incident, and Toru Chiyodani also fell into a coma at the same time.
Now, Furuya Rei said that it was due to the resonance of the twins, which was almost a forced coma.
Well... that seems to explain it.
Shuichi Akai raised his eyes and looked at the two public security policemen who were like dormant volcanoes, and found it a little unbelievable for a moment.
The killer he thought was actually a public security policeman; and the policeman standing in the sun was actually a vicious killer in the organization?
But this kind of thing, now that it has been discovered, must be discussed and the next plan discussed.
So, Akai Shuichi coughed lightly and said, "I think you need to check Chiyodani Toru's identity... I think he is a member of the organization."
As soon as he finished speaking, Morofu Jingguang's anger bar instantly filled up, and his precarious nerves, which had been reconnected with great difficulty, were broken again.
"Nonsense!"
He punched Akai Shuichi directly.
