Inside an abandoned factory.
Shuichi Akai vigilantly aimed his gun at the iron gate, unaware that white smoke was drifting in from outside. After realizing that the other party might want to use smoke bombs to force a breakthrough, he immediately focused his attention to ensure that the enemy would lose their ability to move the moment they rushed out of the smoke.
However, the development of the matter seemed to be completely different from what he had imagined. Within a few seconds after the smoke drifted into the factory, the sound of a sports car engine was heard outside. The sound even became farther and farther away and soon could no longer be heard.
And after the engine sound outside the house disappeared, the only sound left was the faint crackling sound of Kamal pushing the back door hard, and no other sound.
After realizing a possibility, Akai Shuichi stood up and walked out from behind the supporting pillar, came to Kamal's side and said in a deep voice:
"Kamel, stop it."
"Hmm? Mr. Akai, don't we need to break through the back door?" Kamil raised his hand to wipe the sweat running down his forehead. He looked at Shuichi Akai who was walking beside him with some confusion and asked.
Shuichi Akai raised his index finger to his lips to indicate not to make a sound. He made a few gestures and tiptoed towards the half-open iron gate. He quickly rolled forward and aimed his gun at the possible ambush location, but found that there was no one there.
The Chianti and Scotland that were supposed to be outside are gone, what happened?
"A-Mr. Akai?"
"Kamel, come out quickly, let's go meet up with them."
Shuichi Akai frowned and got up from the ground. He had some vague guesses in his mind, but he was not sure if it was what he thought. If not... he would have to leave Japan as quickly as possible.
"Hey? Have all the people from the organization left?"
Kamal quickly ran out of the abandoned factory. He looked around and found that there was no one there except himself and Mr. Akai. Even the bodies of the two organization members lying at the door were gone.
He touched the back of his head in confusion, looked at Akai Shuichi and asked:
"Mr. Akai, why did the organization retreat so suddenly? Did something happen?"
Shuichi Akai's eyes fell on the bullet embedded in the iron gate. Sure enough, the strange sound heard in the factory was caused by a bullet, and it was a sniper bullet. In other words... someone sniped from a distance and warned Chianti and Scotland, forcing the two of them to retreat?
So could the sniper be arranged by the Japanese police?
After the Cavieza Tequila incident, Shuichi Akai doubted its credibility.
As an FBI investigator, he naturally knew about the disgusting crimes Cavieza Tequila had committed in the United States. While undercover agents could certainly use shady tactics to gain the enemy's trust, a normal undercover agent would never abuse a victim's body. Therefore, he believed that Cavieza Tequila was not an undercover agent for the Public Security Police, but rather a term concocted by the Public Security Bureau. The real Public Security Police were probably Scotland and Bourbon.
The main reason why Shuichi Akai thought so was because he happened to meet his sister Masumi Sera during the previous mission. After that, he was very worried that Scotch Whisky would investigate the fake identity of "Morohashi Dai". Any in-depth investigation would definitely find flaws. This is why he agreed to carry out the plan to arrest Gin in advance this time.
Because he felt that using this plan to leave the organization was a timely solution to cut losses, and as an undercover agent he could not take any gambles, so he could not take any risks until he was sure of Scotland and Bourbon's true identities.
"Camel, we don't have time to think about this problem at this stage. Let's go to Sea Forest Park and meet up with them while the organization is evacuating. It will not be good for us to stay here." Akai Hideya put the pistol back into the holster on his waist. He was worried that the organization's retreat was only temporary. If he didn't leave now, it would be troublesome if he was followed.
"Okay, Mr. Akai."
——
Sea Forest Park.
The speedboat successfully reached the shore. After the rookie investigator Mike Donovan, who was the first to go ashore, confirmed that there was no problem, he looked towards the abandoned factory with a heavy heart. He was very worried about Investigators Akai and Kamil who were buying time for their retreat.
"Mike, do you think Andre and Mr. Akai can escape from danger successfully?" Another new investigator, Edgar Pirlo, also looked worried. He didn't think that the two people could escape from the factory safely in the situation just now.
Moreover, this is Japan. It is very convenient for the organization to mobilize personnel for support, but as FBI investigators, they have no way to request support from the headquarters. Even if they arrange for other investigators to come to assist, their bodies will be cold by the time they arrive in Japan.
The new investigator in charge of the speedboat, Harson Coman, did not rush to land. Instead, he carefully cleaned up all traces of their use before jumping up, grabbing the fence, and climbing up. He looked at the two investigators who were pacing back and forth like headless flies, and said helplessly:
"There's no point in worrying about it now. Let's just trust Mr. Akai to turn the situation around. He's our trump card, and he'll definitely find a way to break through the organization's encirclement."
"Yeah, that's Mr. Akai, who was used as a textbook reference. He's definitely capable of it."
The three young rookie investigators said this, but their expressions honestly betrayed their true feelings. Inexperienced, they were deeply concerned about Akai-senpai, who had chosen to delay their evacuation to ensure a successful one. Of course, they were also worried about what might happen to their colleague, Kamal.
But all they can do now is wait. If they see no trace within an hour, they will have no choice but to return to the United States in despair, assuming the worst possibility, and wait for the decision of the FBI top brass.
Time passed minute by minute, and this silence was truly torturous. But fortunately, after forty minutes, they heard footsteps approaching. Mike was the first to look up, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"Mr. Akai! Kamel!"
"Have you cleaned up the traces?"
"It's been handled."
Mike's gaze lingered on Shuichi Akai. He was surprised that there was no trace of blood. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: As expected of Mr. Akai, the FBI's ace is really powerful.
Akai Shuichi didn't respond directly. Instead, he jumped onto the speedboat docked nearby and carefully checked to make sure everything was alright before erasing his tracks. He pulled out his phone and was about to contact someone when he felt a vague gaze on him. This feeling of being watched made him wary.
Who is it? Could it be the public security police sent from Scotland?
Without hesitation, he drew his gun and aimed at the vending machine, the only place where a person could hide. He frowned and said coldly:
"……come out."
Fujiwara Yu, who was hiding behind the vending machine, calmly moved half a body distance, holding two cans of coffee in his hands and looking at Akai Shuichi, who had long black hair. This was the first time he met him, so he had to give him some gift.
He tried not to look like a bad guy, so he raised his hands to the side while shaking his coffee, and replied with a smile on his face:
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ace of the FBI."
