Chapter 2406-2418 [FBI's Insider]
Vermouth: “…” Vodka, that rubbish!
But to be fair, this may not be Vodka's gun. The organization has many similar models... Uh, wait, if it's not Vodka's, then is it the one issued to Uzo by the organization? Did the organization allow him to carry a gun?
Vermouth: "..."
...Rather than thinking that the organization has been conquered by Uzo, let’s just think of this as Vodka’s gun.
Thinking about the frequency of cases that Votka has encountered recently, and thinking about Shuichi Akai's not-so-nice day...combining the experience of these two people being forced to give up their guns, Vermouth suddenly had an urge to take the initiative to hand her gun to Uzo, as if this way she could skip the process and avoid some trouble.
...But it's just a thought. Handing your gun to someone else will only increase the danger no matter how you think about it.
After a moment of silence, Vermouth silently held the gun hidden in her body disguise tightly, and tried to persuade: "This is not a good thing for you. You are a famous detective with a very high exposure rate. There is no need to take such a risk." So quickly put the gun away.
Jiang Xia waved his hand: "This is just my collection. I brought it out today to return it to Vodka, but unfortunately Mr. Yamada said he had to see a doctor before the show started and stood me up."
Vermouth: “…” Vodka is pretty lucky. If he had come here and met Shuichi Akai and that group of FBI head-on, things would have been interesting… But on the other hand, this guy’s presence is extremely dangerous to the enlarged Cool Guy, so it’s better for him not to come.
A few high school students were walking in front, vaguely feeling that something was missing.
Hattori Heiji looked around and turned back, and found that Jiang Xia was actually having a pleasant chat with the "Doctor Shinide", while the latter seemed to be having some evil thoughts and his expression changed a little.
Hattori Heiji: "..."
"Why do all these suspicious people like to chat with Jiang Xia?" Hattori Heiji turned around and walked back, muttering to himself, "As expected, gold shines everywhere. Even the villains will covet excellent reasoning talent. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future... Come to think of it, why didn't these guys come to me? They are so short-sighted! Well, it may also be because they are based in Tokyo and I am in Osaka, which is too far away, so they were forced to give up... Yes, that must be the case!"
Soon, Detective Kansai, with a sense of mission, returned to the two people who were falling further and further behind, forcefully joined their conversation, and interrupted Dr. Shinde's possible conspiracy.
Then he saw the "new doctor" looking at him with complicated eyes, and finally, the eyes turned quite friendly.
Hattori Heiji: "?"
What a cunning guy who is good at disguise. I have to pay extra attention to him in the future.
…
The high school students finished a busy day and prepared to go to lunch.
On the other side, the FBI's temporary base.
A white-haired old man finished a day's work and came home, exhausted and fell on the sofa. He looked out the window in silence for a moment, and his toes in his slippers suddenly curled up tightly, as if he was caught in some bad memories.
After a while, James sat up straight, took out his mobile phone with trembling hands, and stared at the screen in confusion.
Two seconds later, he took a deep breath, quickly opened the webpage, entered the keywords, held his breath and pressed Enter.
The page refreshed, and news about Beika Town popped up one after another. Half of them were about bank robberies, and half were about the poisoning case in the Teitan Junior High School drama... But in the face of such a big trend, the sight of a white-haired old man being carried across the street by a young girl failed to cause any splash.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
James breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air all the way, finally settled back into his chest.
But soon, he felt something was wrong.
James picked up the phone again: "..." Although he hasn't clicked on the details yet, but on the covers of these news... why do some familiar faces seem to appear?
What are Judy and Akai doing?
James clicked on the news wearily and quickly glanced at the details to confirm whether he should rush to the police station to rescue the person.
Then he found out that thanks to the help of a righteous detective, his two capable subordinates actually managed to get rid of suspicion, and he finally didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.
"What a good kid." James looked at Jiang Xia in the news photo, his eyes becoming kind. "If it weren't for him, I should have applied for a commuter card to the Metropolitan Police Department. Judy and Shuichi's abilities are unquestionable, but they are a bit reckless. The long-term fight with criminals has made them sometimes less respectful of laws and regulations... But it's okay! Although the process today was a bit bumpy, the ending is good."
The matter ended successfully. James stood up relaxed and planned to make himself a cup of hand-ground coffee after a long absence.
He walked to the cabinet, opened the door, reached in and felt around at the bottom, then paused.
James: “…” Why is it empty?
What about coffee?
What about the coffee that he had airlifted over with his own money?
Could it be that I didn't place the things steadily and the coffee can fell to the bottom?
James turned his body sideways and reached down again, but even after his fingers had traced the corners of the cabinet, he still couldn't find his precious cans of coffee.
"?"
James turned on the flashlight and looked inside to search, but still found nothing.
"Strange, did I put them next to the coffee pot after I finished drinking them last time?" The puzzled old man closed the cabinet door, stood up, and turned to go to the kitchen.
When he got to the door and took a quick look, he paused again: "..."
Where are his grinder and coffee maker?
Why is that position empty?
...The house was robbed?
Which thief broke into the FBI base and managed to get away with it?
Just as I was confused, suddenly, the door opened and someone walked in.
James turned around holding the empty porcelain cup and saw that his two capable subordinates, Shuichi Akai and Judy, had also returned. These two young people who were always full of energy showed some rare fatigue at this time, and it was unknown what they had experienced.
Thinking about the overwhelming news, James understood deeply: "Sit down first, I..."
He originally wanted to make some coffee to comfort his subordinates, but after he said this, he remembered that he had no coffee left.
So he changed the subject: "Have you seen my coffee machine?"
Shuichi Akai glanced at the empty kitchen, was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Judy.
Judy slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, I took them to set up a stall today in order to sneak into the campus festival."
James: “……?”
He pondered over this sentence and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Since I brought a coffee machine, then the coffee beans..."
