Chapter 283: The Missing Engineer Witness Protection Program
What is Sister Lin talking about!
Not to mention whether Gin would believe such an obvious lie, would he really not take this as a provocation?
Sister Lin, I know you have a talent for being off-key, but please don't use it at a time like this! You're being held at gunpoint, so please don't blurt out sweet nothings, okay?
Absurd, really absurd.
Sister Lin actually flirted with Gin, how could he have such a dream.
The man who was "accosted" grinned.
"It's a third-rate script," he said. "Next, how do you want me to act?"
Lin Xi reached out and grabbed his gun, pointing the muzzle back at his heart.
"Hold me." She mouthed, "The FBI is outside."
This news was really beyond Gin's expectations.
The FBI hasn't done anything for a long time since Shuichi Akai was exposed.
Now it's a big deal - they actually deployed people here. Have they learned their lesson? Do they want to arrest him again?
He snorted coldly, and when Conan in the closet was already feeling suffocated by the long silence, he said, "You don't want to talk? That's okay. I have plenty of ways to make you talk."
After saying that, he straightened the coconut, pulled Lin Xi into his arms, and pointed the gun at her forehead: "Vodka, let's go."
"Sniper in position," Judy Stelling said into her headset. She had been nervous just then, too afraid to communicate with Conan through the headset, fearing it would be too loud and heard in the quiet storage room.
Now that she heard Gin leave, she finally spoke: "Since you haven't been discovered, stay where you are and don't move. Wait until they are far away before coming out."
"Don't worry, we will rescue Miss Lin."
In fact, Judy also had a headache.
She saw Lin Xi enter the subway station shortly after Gin arrived.
It was a good thing that Kudo Shinichi wasn't discovered, but that was made up for by Miss Lin being discovered.
For the FBI, there is no difference between rescuing Kudo Shinichi and rescuing Lin Xi. Catching the organization in a trap has become rescuing hostages.
With Lin Xi in their hands, they couldn't shoot at will.
Judy remembered that when she was in the United States, Lin Xi did the same thing, using herself as bait to penetrate the enemy's lair.
But this time was different from that time. That time, Lin Xi only had to face one person, but if she was really taken back to the organization's base... she would have to face more than just one person.
"Brother." Vodka looked at Lin Xi, who was being held hostage and staggering forward, and Coconut, whose fat body was bouncing with every step, with an indescribable expression on his face.
"Cat...would you like to hold it for me first?"
"No need." Gin said.
This cat has the same problem as its owner, it only likes good-looking people.
Vodka is probably not among its favorite group.
They walked out of the subway entrance.
Under the light of the street lamp, the shiny silver hair looked like a sitting target.
But with Lin Xi trapped in his arms, the sniper didn't dare to act rashly.
The red dot of the assisted aiming flashed his eyes, and Gin narrowed his eyes.
One on the side and one on the right.
There was someone in the black car on the side, and there was also someone behind the bushes.
"It's a trap. There's a sniper. Vodka, go drive."
"What?!" Vodka was shocked.
He quickly picked up the gun, blocked Gin's side, and looked around vigilantly.
Under the white light of the street lamp at the subway entrance and the red dots swaying on his eyelids, Gin grinned. He pinched Lin Xi's neck, pointed the gun at the side of her neck, and pushed her into the center of the bright light, looking like he was showing off his prey.
The girl who was picked up by the neck seemed terrified. She couldn't say a word and grabbed Gin's arm in vain.
On the building on the right, Shuichi Akai frowned.
Although he knew that the operation to capture Gin would most likely not go smoothly, he did not expect Lin Xi to appear in this way.
He held the sniper rifle and took aim.
As the FBI's ace sniper, Shuichi Akai also has his own confidence.
He was confident that he could kill the criminal with one blow if the criminal harmed the hostage.
But Gin is different from ordinary gangsters. If it were Gin, his reaction speed would allow him to move the hostage to block the bullet before the bullet was fired from the gun and reached him.
But then again——
His hostage is Lin Xi.
Does he dare to use her to block the gun?
To be honest, Shuichi Akai's hand pressing the trigger was a little itchy.
The temptation to kill Gin was great for him.
But not yet… He released the trigger with some regret.
The time is not right.
So he could only watch Gin take Lin Xi back to the car.
He aimed at the tire and fired twice.
Vodka's magical driving skills twisted the car around.
As the car drove out of the intersection, two FBI black cars followed behind them and chased them relentlessly.
It looked like they were going to follow them until they let them go.
However, Lin Xi, who was the center of attention, was now lying comfortably in the back seat, greeting Vodka: "Long time no see, Vodka!"
"Punch!" Vodka grinned happily while racing.
"Are they all right in Chianti?"
"Yeah, she was still talking about you during the last mission. Oh, and Coconut. So you were on a covert mission, no wonder I haven't seen you for so long."
Gin scoffed.
What a hidden mission.
The organization did not assign her any undercover mission.
"Hehe, I guess so." Lin Xi ignored Gin's snort.
"But why are you here?" Vodka asked doubtfully, thinking back to the past few days. "Is your mission also related to Itakura Taku?"
"It's not that my mission is related to Itakura Taku. Strictly speaking, my mission target is related to Itakura Taku. By the way, where is the CD you got? The CD inside is fake. It has a transmitter on it. Once you get rid of these guys behind you, you have to throw this away, otherwise they will keep locating you."
"Fake? Is that really in your possession, Punch?"
"No, it's really with Itakura Taku." Lin Xi said, "That's related to why I'm here - my mission target accidentally discovered Itakura Taku's disappearance through some channels. In fact, he has been missing for nearly a week. My mission target is quite mischievous. He flipped through Itakura Taku's diary and found out that Itakura Taku is related to us. He wanted to trick you - so he joined forces with the FBI to set up this trap."
"After learning that Itakura Taku was missing, I also thought of some ways to find him. If I find him, I will tell you as soon as possible."
"I can't be exposed right now, so could you please throw me down in a suitable place, or try some self-torture trick and shoot me twice?"
Gin glared at him coldly.
"Haha, I'm just kidding." Lin Xi smiled ingratiatingly, "You can even throw me into the water. I like water."
"When will you be back?" Gin didn't say yes or no.
"Well... that depends on when my target realizes I'm a bad guy." Lin Xi said, "He trusts me too much, so I feel embarrassed to take action against him."
"But it should be soon."
"If it's slow, it'll be a month. If it's fast, it'll be a week~"
"Heh..." Gin took out his gun again, grabbed Coconut by the scruff of the neck, threw the cat into Lin Xi's arms, and reached out to open the car door on her side. "See you in a week."
"Hey, if it's fast, it's only a week..." Before Lin Xi finished her protest, she saw the Porsche turn an elegant arc, and her body leaned towards the door due to centrifugal force.
She understood what he meant, and when the car was turning and moving at its slowest, she held the cat and fell down with the centrifugal force.
The soft grass slowed her tumbling. As if to vent his frustration, Gin pulled out his gun and blasted her with a series of body shots as she fell. Although she wasn't injured at all, her skirt was ripped and her hairband was broken and undone. Her thin jacket was even worse, with several rips from the bullets making it unwearable.
Along with her went the empty CD case. Gin threw the case with the transmitter attached out of the car window, where it rolled a few times on the ground and was declared useless.
Lin Xi rolled into the inclined depression, made a few "Pooh" sounds, and spat out the grass leaves he had accidentally eaten.
Seriously, this guy didn't even tell me in advance that he was going to push someone down.
She saw that he just wanted to take revenge on her.
She stood up, put the coconut down, pulled her tattered skirt up to her waist and tied it in a knot.
"Ms. Lin!"
Judy Stelling slammed on the brakes, jumped out and grabbed Lin Xi, her eyes scanning her up and down.
Fortunately, apart from being covered in dirt, he didn't seem to be injured.
Judy inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat similar to a scene that happened a long time ago.
After Lin Xi came out of the basement, she was in the same state. She looked disheveled, but her eyes were bright, without any fear of escaping from a fatal crisis.
How can I describe it? This sense of déjà vu...
Judy thought about it.
It was like I had just concentrated on completing a difficult level in a game. There was only excitement, no nervousness.
Judy smiled helplessly at her own association.
I was really overthinking it. How could Miss Lin, who took life so seriously, treat such danger as a game?
"Thank goodness you're okay." She took off her coat and put it on Lin Xi. "Hurry up and get in the car, Miss Lin. We'll take you to a safe place."
"Okay." Lin Xi put his hand on hers and walked down the slope following her strength.
Then she saw the little girl standing next to Judy's car.
Haibara Ai looked at her quietly, her disheveled figure reflected in her eyes, but her face showed no emotion.
"Ahaha..." Lin Xi smiled awkwardly.
Xiao Ai did ask her to stay in the house in the afternoon.
But isn't she afraid that Kudo Shinichi will really be captured by Gin?
Gin's technique in outlining human bodies is very good. She looks disheveled, but in fact she doesn't even have a scratch.
She wasn't really hurt.
If Xiaoai is worried, let her check it again at night.
.
"Here's the thing." Inside the room, Judy said after introducing the basic situation of the organization, "We want you to accept this."
She pushed a document in front of Lin Xi and Huihara Ai.
"I want you to be accepted into the U.S. witness protection program," she said.
