Chapter 2556-2568 [The Painter of Uzo]
"But this is a good opportunity."
Shuichi Akai took a deep breath to stop himself from worrying about the missing gun. He took James' phone and said to Judy, who was stunned, "Are you still in the Metropolitan Police Department? I have something important for you."
Judy came back to her senses, and while she was glad that she didn't bring a gun today, she asked with lingering fear, "What?"
Akai Shuichi looked down at the things in his hand and said, "Take this postcard to the Metropolitan Police Department and say that you found it on the bus. Then identify Kobayashi Seiji's painting style and ask the police to ask him about the purpose and reason for drawing this picture."
A horrific bus hijacking and explosion had just occurred, and it was discovered that someone had drawn a picture of the scene in advance - even if this could not be used as evidence of a crime, it was enough to attract the attention of the police and prompt them to investigate.
Since they have no formal approval from the FBI, their investigation operations in Tokyo are always restricted. In this case, they might as well borrow the power of the local tyrants and use the police to cause some trouble for the other party.
Moreover, Akai Shuichi had been in the organization for quite some time, and he knew how much those people who lived in the dark feared the police. If the painter or his colleagues were thrown into disarray by the police investigation, perhaps the FBI could take advantage of the situation and find some flaws.
Shuichi Akai: "..." Although judging by Usa's way of doing things, he might be a rare outlier who is not afraid of the police...but if his subordinates are really suspected by the police and taken to the police station, they will definitely face pressure from the organization.
Using the opponent's force to counter attack, this method is not only used by Uzo.
James nodded to this plan repeatedly, but at the same time, he thought of something with a tired heart: "But if this is the case, wouldn't the focus of our investigation be diverted back to 'that person'?"
When he first came to Tokyo, he felt that following Vermouth and fighting wits and courage with this "Thousand-Faced Witch" was a very challenging task.
But now, with the comparison, when James saw the fake face of the "new doctor" again, he felt relaxed and happy all over, as if he had just got off work.
However, now, Akai Shuichi has once again set his sights on Usa...
"No, how can I have this mentality!" James was shocked and secretly warned himself, "When encountering difficulties, you must face them head-on and not escape. I have been an FBI agent for so many years, and the thugs I have seen can fill up an amphitheater - although Uzo is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but, but..."
Just as he was thinking, Akai Shuichi glanced at him and said, "The plan remains unchanged. I'll just ask Judy to help me with a small favor today. After that, I'll keep an eye on Uzo as usual, and you guys continue to be in charge of Vermouth."
"Is this... is this too much work for you?" James sighed and patted Akai Shuichi on the shoulder. "But those who are capable should do more work. I am really worried about replacing someone else, so I will leave this matter to you!"
"As for Vermouth, I will continue to lead the team to keep a close eye on them. Their reaction this time was so intense, perhaps because our strategy of 'shifting the focus of surveillance back to Vermouth' has worked. As long as we continue like this, it won't be long before we destroy that organization."
"Also, your gun..."
James looked at the empty pile of dead leaves on the ground, thought of this sad thing, and sighed: "Oh, I hope that gun will not be used to commit a crime. Although your new gun has not been found by the police and has not been registered. But if it is used to commit a crime, with the precedent of the last time, the police may suspect us based on the model of the gun."
They came to Tokyo in a hurry this time, without any official procedures. The last time Shuichi was arrested with a gun, if it weren't for the urgent negotiations from above, this FBI ace might have been packed up and sent back to the United States.
And if Shuichi wasn't here, they would be the only ones left...
Thinking about the situation at that time, James' already gray hair seemed to turn even grayer.
Shuichi Akai could hear his boss's concern. He put the postcard back into the iron box and said in a slightly cold voice, "Don't worry, this won't happen a third time."
…
After failing to find the gun and accidentally finding a new clue, the FBI did not stay here for long.
They took the tools and the iron box they had just found, returned to the car, and quickly left the scene.
The uninvited guests left and the grove became quiet again.
But soon, with the sound of "crunch" of dead leaves being trampled, a shadow slowly emerged from its hiding place.
——A dark cat quietly poked its head out from behind the tree.
It stretched its neck to look around, and at the same time pricked up its ears to listen carefully. After making sure that there was no one around, the black cat crawled out from the leaves, shook its head vigorously, and shook off the dead branches and rotten leaves on its body.
As it moves, one can see that this cat is heavy in a way that doesn't match its body shape. As the sunlight falls, a cold light seems to flash faintly under its belly.
"..." The Dark Cloud Snow Cat looked down, stretched out its claws and pressed its furry belly, carefully hiding the things that should not be exposed.
Then it dragged its heavy steps, happily jumped to the side, pounced down, and gathered a handful of fresh colorless murderous aura.
The eating cat rubbed against it, then gathered the murderous aura with its paws, held it in its mouth, and ran away with its paws spread out.
The grove became silent again. A breeze blew by, and a dead leaf with a cat's claw mark on it floated away gently.
…
When Ganfan Cat is busy working.
On the other side of Tokyo, FBI Agent Judy is also working overtime.
Judy had been in and out of the Metropolitan Police Department a lot recently, so she was already familiar with the place. In addition, by this time, the passengers had already finished their statements, and the search section was much emptier than before.
So when she came back, as soon as she appeared, a police officer noticed her and came over to greet her.
"Teacher Judy?" Officer Gao Mu looked at the foreign teacher from Jiang Xia curiously, "Do you have anything else to say?"
——In my impression, this foreign teacher is different from Jiang Xia. She doesn't seem to like hanging out at the Metropolitan Police Department. She always comes and goes in a hurry. But why is she coming back now?
"It's like this." Judy took a deep breath and revealed a serious expression. She took out the scary postcard and lowered her voice mysteriously, "I suspect there is another hidden story behind this bus explosion!"
Officer Gao Mu remembered that this female foreign teacher was very strong in the event of an incident, and was shocked: "!"
…
Not long after, as Judy was waiting half nervously and half expectantly, a middle-aged man with a sinister aura walked into the Metropolitan Police Department holding a thick sketchbook.
Judy looked at him, then at her watch, and a question mark slowly appeared on her forehead: "?"
...Is Kobayashi Seiji really here?
...and he didn't even make excuses or delay. It was as if...he wasn't afraid of this trip to the Metropolitan Police Department at all.
