Chapter 2236 2248 [Akai Shuichi's Arrest Incident]
so……
Shuichi Akai thought to himself, "Either these two are acting together for me. Or maybe Shitara Shigekichi realized he was being followed and got very flustered. His mind was full of how to get to the destination as quickly as possible, so he anxiously asked me about the stop without considering whether his stalker would hear him."
According to his observation, Shitara Shigeyoshi's previous panic did not seem like a disguise.
...But we can't underestimate the acting skills of a 70-year-old man. He has lived for so many years, which is enough for him to learn any skills.
After hesitating for a moment, Akai Shuichi decided to get off the bus to see what was going on: after all, the bus always circulated along this route and would not run away, so he could always turn around and look for it. However, the sudden appearance of Shitara Shigekichi was an obvious anomaly.
Complex thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He took out something from the left pocket of his windbreaker and took a look at it. Then he stood up and walked to the door.
Just when he was about to get off the car, a light color flashed in his peripheral vision.
Shuichi Akai turned around suddenly and saw a man who was about to get on the bus in front of another door closing his umbrella, revealing his light-colored hair and a pair of signature squinty eyes.
...Okiya Subaru!
...This informant, or front-line informant, whom he had always wanted to contact but was always worried that the timing was not right, actually appeared in front of him at this moment?
Shuichi Akai's mind was instantly filled with the word "coincidence", and even he hesitated briefly: not to mention the huge amount of information contained in the "Okiya Subaru's sudden appearance", just at the current point in time, there were two obvious options in front of him.
——Get off the car and chase after Shitara Shigekichi.
——Or stay in the car and wait for Okiya Subaru.
Shuichi Akai was not a man who was indecisive, and he quickly decided to stay in the car and leave the other side to his colleague.
But just when he was about to sit back as if nothing had happened, Okiya Subaru suddenly sensed something and looked over here.
In an instant, their eyes met through the car window.
Akai Shuichi: "..."
Okiya Subaru: "?!"
The heavy book in the graduate student's hand fell to the ground with a thud. He didn't even pick it up. Instead, he turned around and ran, diving into the rain, running faster than a rabbit.
Akai Shuichi: "..."
Why are you running? The FBI isn't going to kill you.
...But this kind of reaction means that Okiya Subaru feels dangerous and guilty when he sees him, which means... Okiya Subaru has completely surrendered to Usa?
Shuichi Akai sighed in his heart, feeling a little understanding for some reason, but he still chased after him.
"The direction Okiya Subaru was heading was a little strange. This was not the best place to escape. Given his personality, if he went out during this period, he would definitely have checked the terrain along the way in advance. Even if he was frightened by the sudden incident just now, he shouldn't have run in this direction.
"So... is this a trap? To lead me somewhere?"
Akai Shuichi quickly recalled the nearby terrain in his mind, and glanced at the direction where Okiya Subaru fled in panic: "But if I continue like this, I can still intercept him in a crowded public place, and I won't be led to a remote and dangerous place suitable for roundup."
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and blocked his way.
Akai Shuichi dodged and moved sideways to avoid the arm. He instinctively did this action, then he looked back and found that the person who stopped him was a short-haired woman who had just walked out of a nearby restaurant.
...looks a little familiar.
Wait, aren't these the police officers from the Investigation Section 1?
This group of workers who are so busy that they have dark circles under their eyes every day actually happen to have a dinner party today?
Miwako Sato was full of suspicion, and she became even more suspicious when she saw this fierce guy so agile. She followed him relentlessly and asked, "Stop, who are you and why are you chasing that gentleman?"
Behind her, a short and fat man and a group of burly men stopped and immediately chased after her.
Akai Shuichi: "..."
...No wonder Okiya Subaru is running towards this side with his head down.
This had nothing to do with the terrain, and perhaps even less to do with the trap: it was simply because there was a large group of police officers passing by for a dinner party.
In the past, when he was in the same camp as Okiya Subaru, Shuichi Akai was very impressed by the graduate student's accidental cleverness, but now that he was suddenly on the opposite side, he found that this informant was more troublesome than he thought.
...However, a few ordinary policemen can't stop him, even those with strong skills.
Just as Shuichi Akai was about to speed up again, someone suddenly stopped him.
He used the same trick again, pushing off the ground and moving sideways, but this time the interceptor was far more powerful than Officer Sato. The man also moved, still blocking him in front of him, and even secretly bumped him with his shoulder.
Shuichi Akai raised his hand to block the attack and was not hurt, but his pace was forced to slow down.
The police chasing behind surrounded them instantly, and almost at the same time, Shuichi Akai saw clearly the new interceptor.
——A head of blonde hair and skin that almost blends into the night.
...Bourbon.
The moment he recognized this man, Shuichi Akai felt something was wrong.
The next moment, a gun fell from his body to the ground with a clatter.
"Oh my." Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise and hidden malice. He turned to the police and said, "It's too dangerous. He actually carries a gun with him... Who is this person? Is he the wanted criminal you are hunting for?"
"Uh, no."
Inspector Megure stared at the gun that fell from Akai Shuichi and was also stunned: it was a rare day with a peaceful day and no cases, so he took a few of his subordinates out for a good meal, but who knew that the incident would come to their door just after they had eaten.
...The only thing to be thankful for is that we only encountered an armed man and no murder occurred.
Inspector Megure: “…” But it seemed like this guy was chasing an innocent passerby just now?
... Fortunately, if Sato had reacted a little slower, if Mr. Amuro, who was kindly passing by, had not helped, there might have been a brutal shooting in the street tonight.
He felt relieved, but at the same time he sighed for the upcoming overtime work.
Finally, Inspector Megure calmed down and looked at Akai Shuichi with a serious expression: "Please come back to the police station with us."
Akai Shuichi: "..."
He looked past Amuro Toru and glanced behind him. After wasting a moment, Okiya Subaru had already run away without a trace.
Shuichi Akai fell into deep thought for a moment: Could this be that person's real purpose?
...did I fall into his trap?
…
Now that things have come to this, I can only spend the night in the police station.
If he really wanted to escape, it was not completely impossible, but on the one hand, Bourbon, this guy who came out of nowhere, was causing trouble nearby, and on the other hand, he didn't want to become a wanted criminal by the police, so he had to cooperate and go.
As an FBI agent, he would not really go to jail, but his imagined "secret investigation" was ruined and he had to complete the necessary procedures.
