Chapter 2436 2448 [Judy's Dream Castle]
Shuichi Akai jumped into the car and slammed the door shut.
Judy worked in perfect harmony with him. She stepped on the accelerator hard and the sports car sped away, passing by the buzzing police cars and fire trucks on the road.
"The police here are so efficient." Judy glanced at the increasingly familiar police car through the car window and sighed in fear, "Luckily there are so many people in the park, so our colleagues who are looking for bullets are not very conspicuous."
She glanced at Akai Shuichi's face in the rearview mirror, and was shocked by the rare murderous look on her colleague's face: "...What happened?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Judy suddenly came to her senses and silently closed her mouth: What happened? Is there any need to ask? - The flames of the sports car explosion in the distance had not yet extinguished. She saw this grand scene, James saw it, and the general public saw it too... If she were the protagonist on this stage, her face would probably be even uglier than Akai Shuichi's.
Thinking of this, Judy laughed dryly and changed the subject. She began to report today's gratifying achievements: "After the sports car fell from the building, our people heard the noise and rushed in, and arrested all the men in black who were tied up in the middle of the hall. As long as we pry open their mouths, we will definitely get useful clues and bring Wuzo to justice!"
Shuichi Akai was silent for a moment, but he was not optimistic about this matter: Judging from what happened just now, Kidd might have some connection with Uzo, or at least was influenced and controlled by Uzo.
The FBI was able to capture the men in black upstairs so easily because Kidd tied them up with fishing lines before jumping off the building... From this point of view, even if those guys really fell into the hands of the FBI, it would be difficult for this matter to pose a threat to Uzo.
Shuichi Akai: "..." The other party is in the dark, and they are in the light. As long as Usa's true identity is not revealed, the failure caused by this disadvantage will be repeated.
But on the other hand, in order to find out the true identity of that person, the FBI has been repeating this failure... If this continues, it seems to have become an unsolvable vicious circle.
Akai Shuichi pressed his forehead and decided to review what had happened during this period from the beginning so as to find a way out of the current deadlock.
Judy did not disturb the silent anti-uzo fighter. She drove quietly and soon arrived at the base near the FBI.
When they arrived at the garage, the two of them got out of the car one after the other.
At this moment, Judy's ears twitched, and she always felt that there seemed to be a clanging sound when Shuichi Akai closed the car door.
She looked back in confusion, her eyes fell on Akai Shuichi's wrist, and she was stunned: "What happened again!"
Akai Shuichi came back to his senses and looked down at the fuse on his wrist that caused the tragedy tonight. His eyebrows jumped: "The enemy's trap."
Judy thought of the speeding sports car that jumped off the building, and Akai Shuichi who for some reason had to follow the sports car into the fall, and vaguely understood something: "Hmm... Oh."
She changed the subject and looked at the broken ends of the handcuffs carefully: "This mark... was it broken by a gun? Didn't you say that your gun was in Kidd's hand and he was the one who fired the gun tonight?"
This made Judy a little confused for a while. After all, if the thief was the enemy as Akai Shuichi said, then there seemed to be no need for him to help Shuichi break the handcuffs, unless...
She felt that she understood, and asked in surprise: "You took the gun back from Kidd?"
Akai Shuichi: “…No.”
Judy: “…”
She cleared her throat and changed the subject again, chatting about something else as if nothing had happened: "Anyway, take this thing off first. You didn't have time to pry it open just now because the situation was critical. You can't keep wearing it now."
As she spoke, Judy took out a piece of wire and helped Akai Shuichi pry it up: Wearing this thing on the wrist makes one look like a prisoner, which is very unlucky - she didn't use to be so superstitious, but since she had been in and out of the police station a while ago, every time Judy saw handcuffs, she couldn't help feeling unlucky, and she always felt that one day this thing might be handcuffed to her wrist instead.
Therefore, during this period of time, Judy has been honing her already good lock-picking skills and is very familiar with lifting the handcuffs.
Akai Shuichi looked down and sighed: "Don't waste your energy, get a chainsaw. I just tried, and I can't pry the handcuffs..."
"Click"
The handcuffs in Judy's hands, which were originally together, were easily pried open.
“…”
The two men looked at each other, then silently lowered their heads to look at the handcuffs.
An awkward atmosphere was flowing around.
For a moment, Judy wanted to put the handcuffs back on and pretend nothing had happened. Unfortunately, at this moment, the door opened and closed, and James walked in.
"Huh?" James looked at the wire and handcuffs in Judy's hands with surprise. The fatigue accumulated in the day made him blurt out without thinking much, "I remember in the surveillance video just now, Xiuyi secretly pried it open for a long time but failed, how come you opened it immediately - how did you practice picking locks recently? Send me a copy of the tutorial, I'll let Kamal and the others learn it too."
Judy: "..." Stop it! I haven't figured out what to talk about next! !
Fortunately, at this moment, a ringtone broke the awkward atmosphere - James' cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. When he saw the note "Tokyo Police" in his note, his eyelids twitched slightly.
After picking up the phone and listening to a few words, the elderly FBI superior began to look towards Akai Shuichi. He cleared his throat and said seriously to the other end of the phone, "I'm not sure, it shouldn't be - there are actually a lot of people wearing knitted hats. I ran into two or three of them when I was having dinner today. This matter probably has nothing to do with us. Why don't you ask someone else? Um, um, thank you for the trouble. I'll let you know when I contact him."
After he hung up the phone, Judy couldn't help but ask, "Did the police come?"
James nodded. "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. I've watched some of the videos taken by passers-by. Fortunately, Xiuyi likes to wear black clothes and hides his facial features with a hat and mask. It's hard to be photographed clearly at night. The police should just be asking routine questions, so we can just fool them."
Only then did he understand why Shuichi Akai did not want to report the lost gun to the police: without obtaining any information about the gun, the police could link it to him based on a knitted hat, and if he really reported the lost gun at this critical juncture, the police's suspicion of him would definitely increase significantly.
If this situation occurs, even if Shuichi Akai is the victim, the FBI will have to spend a lot of time dealing with the police, and those men in black who were just captured might have to be surrendered again - then they will get nothing.
