Chapter 2199 2210 [Poor Little Brother]
After hearing what Akai Shuichi said, the matter of "finding the person behind the scenes" seemed to become imminent.
Judy's train of thought was finally diverted. Although she always felt that something was wrong, she still gave priority to thinking about the problem that the FBI ace was worried about, and helped her teammates solve their worries: "What should we do?"
Akai Shuichi threw the notebook in his hand aside and said, "Look for a place with fewer people to reduce the number of suspicious persons."
Judy hesitated: "Young people love to be in a crowd. The places I invite them to go will usually be crowded, unless we go to those high-end salons. But it always feels a bit strange for a teacher to invite students to such places..."
As she was talking, her eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right! I thought of a good idea!"
"..." Although I don't believe she can come up with a good idea, but... Akai Shuichi, "Tell me about it."
Judy: "I don't have to go to the crowded places that young people like to go, but I have to have a good enough reason to invite them, and finally I have to maintain the consistent image I had when I was in contact with Jiang Xia before. So, it seems that I, a 'foreign teacher with a strong desire to win', can definitely take them to do some other sports!"
"?" Akai Shuichi confirmed cautiously, "We came here with the identities of ordinary people, so we must be careful not to break the law."
Judy was puzzled: "Why is it illegal? It's actually very simple. Just change your mindset and choose middle-aged and elderly sports that young people don't often get involved in - such as golf or fishing!"
Akai Shuichi thought about it seriously and said, "Although there are many young people participating in what you said, the venues for these sports are indeed spacious enough. It is a method worth trying. I wish you success."
Judy: “No problem!”
She hung up the phone happily and started thinking about how to write an email to Jiang Xia.
On the other side of the phone, Akai Shuichi had other things to deal with.
He dialed the number again and called his assistant: "How are those people investigating?"
The assistant flipped through a thick stack of useless information on the table and said hesitantly, "I first checked the driver who asked the deceased to move his car in the case where Judy was suspected to be the murderer. Because you specifically said that the other party should not be alarmed in any way, I spent a lot of effort to be roundabout..."
Akai Shuichi: "Just state the conclusion directly."
Assistant: "He is a bus driver, 46 years old, with a stable job and a stable family. He has been married for 15 years and has been working for 20 years. During this period, he has been living an ordinary life from one time to another. At present, there seems to be nothing suspicious about him."
"Bus driver?" Akai Shuichi felt something was wrong. The Tokyo route map he had memorized before appeared in his mind. "I remember there was no bus line passing by the parking lot of the water park. Why did he appear there?"
The assistant was well prepared, and he hadn't been slacking off these past few days: "Because of two thieves. When the driver was at work that day, a theft occurred on the bus, and the victim lost very important information.
"So the driver went to the nearest police station after consulting everyone. On the way back, he was blocked by the deceased's sports car, so he had to notify the water park and ask them to announce to move the car."
Akai Shuichi: "So the key is those two thieves."
The assistant looked miserable: "Yes, I wanted to continue investigating, but when the bus was about to arrive at the police station, the two thieves actually climbed out the window and ran away.
"Now even the police don't know who the thief is. So I'm trying to get the surveillance cameras along the way and the video footage on the bus."
Akai Shuichi: "You haven't got it yet?"
Assistant: "We found some surveillance cameras along the way, but those two thieves are veterans. Their faces were not captured on camera, so it's difficult to find them just by their figures. As for the bus..."
The assistant sighed deeply: "Its surveillance was destroyed! It was said to be due to a malfunction, but I suspect someone deliberately destroyed it."
When Shuichi Akai heard the bad news, he raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard good news.
——We are not afraid of too many abnormalities, but of having no abnormalities at all.
He was worried that if he investigated thoroughly, he would not be able to find any clues. This kind of crime without any trace is undoubtedly the most difficult to prevent.
But who would have thought that now, just by asking his assistant to check around, he actually found a very crucial clue.
This made Shuichi Akai feel relieved.
But then another one came.
He frowned, looking suspicious.
"If I'm not mistaken, Bourbon has suffered such a huge loss before, he will definitely try every possible means to investigate the person behind the scenes."
Shuichi Akai knew that Bourbon's identity was more or less problematic. He thought to himself, "Even with the support of two local forces, we couldn't find any clues about that person, but now Camille has found it easily?"
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
…
On the other side of the phone, Kamal was feeling proud of his contribution, but he suddenly heard his boss say, "You may have been targeted by 'that person'."
Kamal: “?!”
He subconsciously looked at the closed curtains, then at the door, and his whole body tensed up: "I, I'm sorry, but I don't feel any surveillance or tracking at the moment."
Akai Shuichi recalled the hidden feeling of being spied on before: "The other party is very skilled. Just because they haven't discovered it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You must pay attention to your safety recently and slow down the investigation."
After a pause, I thought of the thick list and the current situation...
Akai Shuichi retracted what he had just said: "Intensify the investigation while ensuring safety. Don't worry about being exposed, because you have already been exposed."
Since "that person" has already noticed them, even if they start investigating now, they probably won't be able to find much key information.
But the list is already too long. Rather than watching it grow indefinitely, it is better to give up. No, it is better to act decisively and squeeze out potentially useful information from it.
It's not because I don't have to worry about Judy's questioning, but because this is a more efficient method.
After all, even if it was a false clue, it must have been arranged on the basis of the truth. As long as he could find any clue, Akai Shuichi would have the confidence to follow the clues and pull out a ray of the truth.
After explaining what to do in the next stage, Shuichi Akai looked at his notebook full of people's names.
When he thought about the names on the list being crossed out one by one and marked with "Investigation Completed", even he couldn't help but feel relieved - after all, no one likes to see more and more work, especially someone like him who is supposed to be extremely efficient.
in addition……
"Bus." Akai Shuichi recalled the focus of his assistant's investigation. "I need to take some time to check it out. But this may also be a trap for me. I must choose the right time."
