Chapter 3295 3307 [I brought Jiang Xia here? ] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)
"That's right, Vermouth."
Shuichi Akai sat back at the table and shook off the ash from his cigarette: "Our target for tonight's mission is obviously Vermouth, but halfway through the investigation, Uzo suddenly showed up - I always have a feeling that he and Vermouth are not only colleagues, but perhaps allies in something."
“…”
After these words were spoken, there was a brief silence in the living room.
The FBI opened their mouths, then closed them again as if they didn't know what to say.
——In the investigation of Uzo, they have been defeated time and time again. The depressed mood that makes people see no hope can only be barely compensated by the smooth progress on Vermouth's side.
According to their plan, if they proceed at normal speed, it won't be long before they can unmask the "Thousand-Faced Witch" and capture her.
But now... Mr. Akai actually said that this apple that is about to be harvested is tied to an uncontrollable and dangerous thing?
This terrible scene made them silent for a moment, and they instinctively wanted to refute.
"That..." An FBI agent spoke cautiously, speculating reasonably, "Could it be that Uzo's appearance has nothing to do with Vermouth? Is it because you participated in today's investigation that he temporarily followed you?"
As I recall, because many previous investigations had yielded no results, Mr. Akai decisively divided the work of their team into two parts a while ago in order to avoid losing watermelons while picking up sesame seeds.
Among them, matters related to Usa are handled by Mr. Akai alone.
The investigation of Vermouth and the opportunity to capture her were handed over to all other FBI agents. After all, this was a job they had been doing for some time and it was very smooth.
These days, their work has been divided like this. In addition to dealing with Uzo's affairs, Mr. Akai would occasionally give some guidance on matters related to Vermouth, but he rarely showed up in person.
But today, Mr. Akai suddenly showed up and personally joined in on such an ordinary and simple task as tracking a few elementary school students.
"Everyone knows that Uzo's observation and anti-reconnaissance abilities are incredibly strong. When Mr. Akai was investigating him, he was probably noticed by him and conducted some reverse observations."
An FBI agent tried to outline the other party's psychological activities: "So when he found that Mr. Akai suddenly stopped investigating him and ran off to do other things, Uzo couldn't help but feel curious, so he followed to see, and then appeared here."
——In short, Uzo and Vermouth did not join forces, and he appeared because of Akai-san. This speculation is actually very reasonable!
“…”
Listening to the guesses given by his colleagues and looking at their hopeful eyes, Shuichi Akai fell into silence for a short time.
Although this did not match the answer given by his intuition, he had to admit that this was indeed a possibility.
"If that's the case, that's the best." Akai Shuichi did not directly refute these colleagues who lacked confidence, "But we must also be prepared for another worse situation, that is, they really joined forces on something."
Seeing the FBI becoming dispirited again after hearing about Uzo's involvement, Akai Shuichi said, "This is not entirely a bad thing - if Uzo really binds himself to Vermouth, it means that it will be more difficult for us to deal with Vermouth, but in another sense, we will have more opportunities to capture and contact Uzo."
"As before, I will handle the matter of Uzo. However, you must pay attention to any unusual places when investigating Vermouth, and then synchronize the relevant situations to me."
Judy noticed her colleague's frustration and quickly helped to boost morale: "Don't worry too much. Regardless of whether they join forces or not, we just need to keep an eye on Vermouth - hold on a little longer, the time to close the net is just around the corner!"
Shuichi Akai didn't say much. Regardless of whether these colleagues had a positive or negative attitude, they were all dedicated in the end and would always do the work that needed to be done.
In comparison, the child today...
Akai Shuichi took out a photo and looked at it quietly with his head down.
——This was taken successfully when he was following those kids before Uzo appeared.
The focus of the picture is a mixed-race little girl with short wine-red hair, who looks familiar.
...so similar.
Shuichi Akai looked at the face, then looked at the hairstyle, not knowing what he was thinking, and nodded slowly.
…
The quiet night passed quickly.
The next day, when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Suzuki Sonoko walked to the window and stretched.
She was casually looking outside, checking if there were any handsome guys on campus under the pretext of resting her eyes, when suddenly, she saw something and her eyes widened.
Mao Lilan noticed her friend's abnormality and walked over curiously: "Who did you see?"
How handsome must he be to make Yuanzi so surprised? Could it be that some celebrity came to their school to collect folk songs?
She took out her autograph book eagerly, then looked in the direction Suzuki Sonoko was looking with great anticipation... The next moment, she also opened her eyes wide.
"Jiang Xia?!" Her heart skipped a beat. "Is there an exam today? - Oh no, I forgot. I haven't reviewed at all in the past two days!"
Mao Lilan rushed back to her seat and began to flip through her calendar in a panic, trying to see which class she had a quiz in today so that she could make a final sprint.
However, when she turned to today's page in her notebook, her eyes gradually became confused. She scratched her head with the pen and muttered in confusion: "It doesn't say exam... Did I not hear the teacher say the exam time?"
"Oh, why are you so nervous! Maybe Jiang Xia has something else to say." Suzuki Sonoko had also come back to her senses. She walked back from the window, pulled Mao Lilan and ran downstairs. "Although other clothes are also beautiful, Jiang Xia looks really special in the Teitan school uniform... Let's go! Let's take a few pictures!"
Not long after, Suzuki Sonoko successfully intercepted her target in the lobby on the first floor.
"Jiang Xia!"
She slammed the brakes and stopped precisely in front of Jiang Xia, and said happily: "Why did you come to school suddenly? - Xiaolan thought there was an exam today and was scared to death."
"There is no exam today." Jiang Xia comforted the frightened neighbor who liked to cram before the exam, and then said, "Last night, Teacher Judy suddenly called me. I was busy solving a case at the time, so I said a few words and hung up. But now that I think about it, her tone seemed a little strange, as if she was worried about something."
"It just so happens that I don't have any commissions today, and I'm free anyway, so I came to see her and ask her what happened last night."
