Chapter 3286 3298 [James's troubles] Ask for monthly tickets (づど)
Judy: “…” In other words, the chance of finding Uzo using this method is probably frighteningly low.
In comparison, the risk of this plan...
Judy looked at Akai Shuichi and hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but persuade him: "The gunshots just now might attract the attention of the residents in this area. If someone calls the police, what if your pistol is found by the police?"
James' temper has been a little irritable lately, caused by being forced to deal with the Tokyo police.
Although she had complained about such a boss being too ungentlemanly, she could only think about it from another perspective. If she had brought a team of subordinates and traveled thousands of miles across half the world to Tokyo, and then there was no progress on the work, but the reimbursement expenses were rising sharply, and she had to go to the police station for tea every day and had to face the increasingly disgusted looks of the police...
I have to admit that James' change is barely understandable.
After hearing her words, Akai Shuichi also fell silent for a short time.
Although he had been outside the team for a long time, he was actually not completely ignorant of the difficulties James was facing - after all, apart from Judy, he was the ace who suffered the most.
He was treated as a suspect by the police time and time again, and his weapons were lost time and time again... Although there were very few opportunities for face-to-face encounters, he had experienced firsthand how difficult Uzo was in every aspect.
Now, being taken away by the police for investigation again for carrying a gun is a small matter, but if this incident, which is not very dangerous, is a key step in the other party's entire script, then things will be troublesome.
Shuichi Akai hated the feeling of being in a script, being forced into the stage, and having everything around him controlled by the enemy.
So without hesitating for too long, he raised his hand and threw his pistol to Judy.
Judy caught the gun in a daze, and it took a moment for her to come to her senses: "Wait, isn't this more dangerous?
"If you have a weapon, at most you will be taken away by the police for investigation. But if you don't have a weapon and face that guy with your bare hands, you may lose your life! ... Wait, maybe this is his purpose! He wants to use the police to forcibly disarm you!"
Akai Shuichi chuckled and took out another "gun" from inside his coat: "Don't worry, I have thought of this situation a long time ago."
Judy looked closely and saw... a tranquilizer gun.
Judy: "..." As expected of Shuichi, he is really well prepared! Although the lethality of the tranquilizer gun cannot be compared with that of a pistol, as long as it can make the opponent lose their combat effectiveness at a distance, then this is a good gun!
It's just that, as an FBI ace, as an FBI ace who is proficient in all kinds of firearms and is armed first by the team... when facing a strong enemy, he so naturally took out a tranquilizer gun and was about to use it. Why did she suddenly feel a little sad?
Then I think about my car that is getting older and older, the smaller bonuses, and the increasingly complicated reimbursement procedures... Damn it, it makes me even more sad.
In any case, since Shuichi Akai had made up his mind, Judy had no choice but to return to the alley entrance and continue to stand guard, helping him keep an eye on the police's movements.
Back in the car, Judy sighed and continued to look at the two alleys while subconsciously glancing at the convenience store.
Seeing this, she was so shocked that she sat up straight: Jiang Xia...Jiang Xia is gone! !
"Oh no, who picked it up?"
Judy subconsciously continued her previous thoughts, and thought to herself that something was wrong: "Come to think of it, I was only away for a few minutes in total. How come Jiang Xia disappeared in this gap, not earlier or later?"
The more she thought about it, the worse it felt. Judy's heart began to skip a beat, and she began to try to connect the events that had happened before and after: "If it was just a coincidence, it would be fine, but what if, what if Jiang Xia's disappearance is related to Wu Zuo's escape just now?
"Could it be that the cunning guy just escaped from this alley while I was away? When he passed by the convenience store, he saw Jiang Xia and grabbed him, intending to use him as a hostage?"
"No, he has already run here. Even without the hostage, he can get away smoothly. Bringing one more person will slow down the operation. Think about it from another angle. Maybe when he passed by here, Jiang Xia just woke up and saw the suspicious guy, so he took the initiative to follow him?"
After a brief shock, Judy came back to her senses from the many speculations that flashed through her mind.
She got out of the car, took out her cell phone and called Jiang Xia, while walking quickly towards the convenience store, hoping to find an excuse to check the surveillance footage there.
Unexpectedly, just as she was thinking about the 108 ways to trick the surveillance camera, there was a beep and the phone was connected.
Jiang Xia's voice came from the other side of the receiver: "Teacher Judy?"
“?!”
Judy was stunned for a moment and looked at her phone in surprise.
...Normally, shouldn't you call and find that the phone is turned off, or the call is hung up and you call again and the phone is turned off, or the call is picked up and a strange voice laughs sinisterly?
...How come the call was connected so normally?
A question mark seemed to appear above Judy's head, and she opened her mouth: "You, where are you now?"
"I'm handling a murder case outside." Jiang Xia asked caringly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong at school?"
"No, no." Judy smiled awkwardly. She realized something belatedly and said tentatively, "I just passed by a convenience store and I thought I saw you inside, but I was afraid of mistaking you, so I didn't say hello."
"I see." Jiang Xia's patient voice came through the receiver, "Then it should be me. I came to visit the Dongdu Phenomenon Institute today. Because there was a problem with their preview tape, we can only watch it very late, so I killed some time in a nearby convenience store."
"I just received a call saying that one of their staff members was killed, so I was about to go to the crime scene to see if there was anything I could do to help."
"..." Judy felt relieved, but at the same time, she couldn't help but twitching her eyes: Well, it seems that her previous inference has nothing to do with the truth from beginning to end.
She made up an excuse and hung up the phone.
At this moment, sirens sounded. She turned around and saw a line of police cars coming from a distance and stopped in front of the apartment building on the other side of the street.
At the same time, she heard her colleague's voice through the headphones she was wearing: "Mr. Akai, the police are here! Should we hide first and come out to look for them after they leave, or should we just retreat?"
Judy came to her senses and quickly returned to the car, also speaking into the microphone: "Wait! I just received a reliable news - those police officers came for a murder that happened nearby, and it has nothing to do with your shooting in the alley."
