Chapter 32
When the hooded man was stopped by the policeman who suddenly appeared and called him in such a familiar tone, his first reaction was that there was something wrong with this person.
He did not forget to maintain his passionate image and asked directly without thinking:
"Hey? Have you seen me?"
In fact, he first calmly analyzed the current battle situation and carefully observed Ida Kou's attitude towards him.
If this person really knows my true identity and is hostile to me, then my situation will be dangerous.
It was only then that the hooded man noticed that this policeman who had come over to advance the plot under the arrangement of Xingchuan and Ming did look somewhat familiar.
And strangely enough, he didn't have any hostility towards him, but he wasn't well-intentioned either. Instead, his tangled expression showed a sense of hesitation and reluctance to speak.
He immediately found a familiar picture from his memory.
It is the same farce of police arresting criminals, the same policemen with mature looks and tall stature but tangled expressions, and the same actors are acting in the script written by Hoshikawa Kazuaki.
However, the person being hunted was an undercover agent, and he himself was far from being as loyal to the organization as he seemed.
But today, the protagonist of the script has changed, the purpose of the performance has changed, and even the person who wrote the script has appeared on the stage himself.
What an irony.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki is just an ordinary high school manga artist. Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary man had written and directed such thrilling dramas?
Thinking of the reason why the policeman had met him before, the hooded man felt confident that the other party would not deliberately go against him.
He did not continue to waste time on Date Kou, but continued to seduce in a gruff voice:
"You have to be careful, this thief and murderer is very powerful! I chased him all the way before I caught up with him, but he injured me in the first fight."
He used this method of indirect reminder to directly identify Subaru Okiya as the criminal, and also secretly implied that the other party was "extremely poor and vicious."
As expected, Date Kou stopped paying attention to the hooded man and immediately pulled out the police manual from his pocket and opened it to show it to Okiya Subaru. He looked at him solemnly and said loudly:
"I am a police officer! Please give up resistance immediately and come back to the police station with me for investigation, otherwise you will be treated as resisting arrest."
Because Date Kou had already gotten off work and was not wearing a police uniform, Shuichi Akai thought that the person who came was an accomplice of the hooded man.
However, after confirming the authenticity of Date Ko's police manual, Akai Shuichi immediately thought of the brief but strange conversation they had just had.
Since the person who came was a policeman, why did he know this guy with an obviously questionable identity?
Shuichi Akai often saw that kind of expression on the faces of his FBI colleagues, as they wanted to speak but were hesitant in order to help their companions hide their identities.
Therefore, could it be that this hiding guy is not actually a member of a criminal organization with a suspicious identity, but a special person who has some kind of close relationship with the police and needs to hide his identity but can move freely?
Or worse, both?
That would explain his strange behavior. This time, I had misjudged him.
In less than a second, Shuichi Akai thought of many things.
So when faced with Ida Kou's standard attitude of arresting criminals, he immediately adjusted his strategy.
All his fighting spirit disappeared, and he raised his hands to show his cooperation, then smiled again and explained:
"Mr. Police Officer, I am not a thief or murderer. The whole thing was just a mistake made by the gentleman next to you..."
The hooded man had been dealing with him for such a long time before he finally got a chance to make a breakthrough, so he naturally couldn't let this guy succeed in his argument so easily, so he punched him right away.
Of course, Okiya Subaru didn't want to take a punch for nothing, so he raised his hand to block it skillfully, but his previous rebuttal was interrupted midway.
Before coming here, Date Kou had heard about the criminal from Hoshikawa and Akira, and now, coupled with the accusation of the hooded man who he had met once before, he was even more convinced that Okiya Subaru was a thief and murderer. Seeing that the hooded man was already at a disadvantage due to his injuries, he immediately stepped forward to help.
Date Ko's fighting ability is among the best in the entire investigation department. With his joining, Akai Shuichi immediately fell into a tough battle and was caught in a dilemma.
The hooded man noticed the inconsistency immediately.
This guy who was specifically targeted for revenge by Xingchuan and Ming was actually just like himself before, deliberately protecting his head and face with every move, and would rather miss a move than allow his face to be attacked.
This is so familiar. Isn't this how I fought before?
But I did that to hide my identity, so what was the purpose of this pink-haired guy?
Is his identity also fake? Disguise?
Suspicious familiarity, ridiculously strong skills, and a deliberately hidden identity, who is this pink-haired guy?
Just as Okiya Subaru was in a tough fight and the hooded man was becoming suspicious, the sound of sirens finally came from the street.
Ida Hang had already called the police on the way here, and now the police finally arrived.
A group of police rushed in instantly, and the originally empty place suddenly seemed crowded.
According to Date Ko's report, the criminal this time was very difficult to deal with and might take ordinary citizens as hostages at any time, so the Metropolitan Police Department directly dispatched the SIT force to capture him.
The police were well-trained, and they surrounded Subaru Okiya's location with their guns raised.
"Police! Freeze! Put your hands up!"
The SIT troops were fully armed and took control of the entire scene as soon as they appeared. Ida Kou cooperated and stopped and stepped back, while also pulling the hooded man next to him out of the security area.
The hooded man had been very alert since the police arrived, his muscles were tense, and he no longer had the intention to maintain the impulsive mask he wore before.
When Ida Kou grabbed him, he instinctively wanted to fight back, but Ida Kou had anticipated and controlled his movements, and immediately warned him:
"Wait a minute! I have no ill intentions, I just want to get you out of the security area."
Ida Kou couldn't see the hooded man's expression, but he felt that the strength in his hands had indeed been reduced, but he still remained on guard and ready to counterattack at any time.
Yi Dahang understood. As expected, this mysterious guy would not easily trust a stranger like him.
He briefly explained to the SIT members who came over that the hooded man helped to hold the criminal until he arrived. The police also knew Date Kou's identity, so they naturally believed his words and focused their attention on Okiya Subaru who was surrounded.
Okiya Subaru was already in a state of panic. In order not to expose his disguise, he had been restrained in the fight with the two men, and his shoulders and back were hit hard by Date Kou and the hooded man.
I knew the hooded man was quite capable, but I didn't expect that Ida Kou not only had great skills, but was also much stronger than me. He was in so much pain that I couldn't even lift my arm. Even if the police didn't come, I would have been defeated soon.
At this time, many SIT police officers pointed guns at him. Subaru Okiya endured the pain and raised his hands to show that he was harmless. At the same time, he explained:
"Actually, you guys misunderstood me. The gentleman who chased after me also misunderstood me. I'm really not the thief and murderer. I'm just a graduate student at the University of Tokyo."
"Whether it is true or not, just follow us back to the Metropolitan Police Department and you will find out."
The police were unmoved by his explanation, but seeing that he was still cooperative, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
We had heard reports from other police stations that this vagrant was extremely vicious and cunning. We had been holding our breath for many days, hoping to catch him before he committed another crime.
Unfortunately, this man was too cunning and we never caught him.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was thanks to the enthusiastic citizens who bravely stepped forward to help that the man was finally caught.
Okiya Subaru sighed imperceptibly, feeling extremely depressed.
If the people who came were the police officers from the Investigation Division whom I had met before, I might be able to make them trust me based on our familiarity.
Unfortunately, the people who came were actually from SIT, and judging from their attitude, they had obviously already identified me as the thief and murderer, so it would be useless for me to say anything more.
This is really an unprovoked disaster. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble James to come to the Metropolitan Police Department and get him out as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the Japanese public security officers who have always disliked me get a chance, they might use this incident as an excuse to attack the FBI again.
He endured the pain all over his body, silently stretched out his hands that were swollen from the fight, and allowed the SIT police to handcuff him, reluctantly accepting the charge of being a thief and murderer.
This was the first time in Shuichi Akai's life that he had experienced such a frustrating situation. Even during the years when he was undercover in the organization, he had never been in such a miserable situation.
Even though I wasn't seriously injured and knew the problem could be solved later, I was still very upset and depressed.
The hooded man watched everything happening in front of him in silence, without any emotion in his heart. He knew the moment Xingchuan and Ming decided on the script that this pink-haired man would not be able to escape from the script.
Having known each other for so many years, he knew only too well how good Xingchuan and Ming were at writing scripts.
Just as the dust was about to settle, a sudden car noise came from the street next to it. The noise of sudden braking made everyone present alert instantly.
Who would come to such a remote and deserted place at such a late hour, especially when the police had just arrested a vicious "thief and murderer"?
I haven't heard that this thief and murderer has any accomplices.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up in the direction of the street entrance. Even Okiya Subaru looked back in surprise.
I saw a taxi parked on the side of the street, and the light from its headlights passed over the rows of police cars in the middle and shone directly towards where Subaru Okiya was, casting a bright light in his field of vision.
A boy who looked like a high school student opened the door and got out of the car. His face was pale and weak, his leg muscles were trembling slightly, and he was panting slightly after the intense exercise.
He had obviously been running very fast before, and even after getting into a taxi, he did not feel any better from the fatigue caused by running.
It was probably the first time he saw so many police cars and policemen. He was startled by the scene before him, and then immediately looked around anxiously in the crowd.
At this point anyone could see that he was looking for someone.
But who would he go to at this time? Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Xingchuan? Why are you here... No, where did you go before?"
Ida Ko walked forward with obvious concern on his face.
"Brother Ida," Hoshikawa Kazuaki's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "It's that thief and murderer, he..."
"Don't worry about the criminal. We have caught him."
Date Kou pointed behind him in the direction of Okiya Subaru. Then he looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki again, and suddenly frowned and lectured:
"Xingchuan, you actually dared to chase this thief and murderer alone. This is really too dangerous! Do you know how powerful this guy is? You know, even I can only fight him to a draw. With your skills, if you really fight him..."
"Wait, Brother Ida, what are you talking about? The criminal is obviously not here. How could you possibly catch him?"
Xingchuan and Ming looked extremely confused.
Date Kou was also stunned for a moment, pointed at Okiya Subaru's position behind him, and asked:
"Isn't that the thief and murderer you're talking about him?"
Upon hearing this, the police officer in charge of controlling the prisoners paused and looked over in surprise, waiting for Xingchuan and Ming's answer.
Upon hearing this, Okiya Subaru also raised his eyes towards the light and looked at the young man standing in the light. Suddenly, a hint of expectation appeared in his originally dull and gloomy eyes.
The author has something to say:
After joining V yesterday, I received so much support and encouragement from everyone. I am so grateful!
To express my gratitude, I was planning to add another chapter yesterday morning as a surprise for everyone, but... I actually fell asleep while writing!!!
I'm really sleepy...
I'm rushing to make up for it now, I don't know if this belated update can be considered a surprise (covering my face)
In addition, tonight's update will also be placed in the early morning. I will see if there are no accidents. I will probably update at this time in the future. If there are additional updates, they will be dropped randomly.
