Chapter 78: Bounty Hunter Gin
Chidori's actions were not in the plan at all, but Shuichi Akai was not too panicked.
The moment he agreed to the other party, he was already prepared. After all, not everything goes as planned.
He did not hang up the phone, but muted it, held down the headset, and said to the FBI on the other end: "Send team three to area B. There is a code member who is injured. You can try to arrest him."
After he finished speaking, he paused, and in silence, he decisively took out his gun and pulled the trigger.
The silenced bullet was silent, but its power was not reduced at all. As expected, it did not hit the target, but it allowed him to roughly determine the location of the person.
A familiar person walked out of the darkness, and the moonlight illuminated the other person's face.
The blond-haired, dark-skinned man grinded his teeth and said, "Lei, I'm surprised you're an FBI undercover."
Shuichi Akai felt that Bourbon was going to be a difficult person to deal with as he looked at the somewhat out-of-control Bourbon. He thought that Bourbon would not be interested in catching an undercover agent, but he did not expect that he was surprisingly serious.
Bourbon, the undercover police officer who had just recently learned what the FBI had done in Neon, gave a fake business smile and pulled out his gun without hesitation.
The damn FBI actually dared to make such a big fuss in Japan. Do they know whose country this is?
He attacked with genuine anger and murderous intent, and he showed no mercy at all because the other party was also an undercover agent.
Even if he is an undercover agent, he is not a public security undercover, so there is not much he can do. But now that he is being watched by the [organization], of course he has to really put in some effort.
Shuichi Akai did not let his guard down at all. His Jeet Kune Do skills were so skilled and powerful that the two of them trembled together for a moment.
At the moment when the move was approaching, Akai Shuichi whispered: "It was that GIN who told you where I was."
His words did not stop Bourbon's actions, but instead verified his guess.
Bourbon didn't say anything. It was really a coincidence that he met Shuichi Akai, but the public security department knew that this action was really because of that GIN.
It was obvious that Shuichi Akai had misunderstood something, after all, he didn't know Bourbon's true identity.
After retreating at the same time, neither of them moved. Akai Shuichi stood there, staring at the other closely.
"Bourbon, instead of staying here and getting entangled with me, GIN, who betrayed the [Organization], is more valuable, right?"
He looked at the man in front of him. After all, he had teamed up with him for a while, so he roughly understood the character of the man in front of him.
Bourbon is a person who will never suffer a loss. He is used to keeping all the information in his hands. When no one knows, his secrets have already been mastered by the other party.
The two of them are equally powerful. If the dispute continues, it will all depend on which side calls for backup. This is not the result of any calculation.
"Oh?" Bourbon finally spoke. Under the moonlight, his pupils seemed to stand up, filled with a dangerous aura. "How can I guarantee the truth of your information? Ley, I thought you knew how to trust others."
As soon as he opened his mouth to say this, Shuichi Akai was certain that there was room for maneuver. Since bourbon was also mixed in, that man would not be able to escape easily this time.
Bourbon looked at the vigilant Shuichi Akai with a smile on his face. Since they had Shuichi Akai as a source of information, the Neon Public Security Bureau could also participate in catching that man.
The two people looked at each other, and the moonlight could not illuminate the different thoughts in their hearts.
————————
Chidori paused, and he suddenly felt a chill, which was a sign of danger.
People who walk on the brink of life and death always have an intuition about danger, but in a situation like this, danger is certain.
Even though he thought so, he became more alert. He would never ignore any feeling.
There is no news from Shuichi Akai. He must have been blocked or muted. From now on, I will probably only contact him when I want to know his whereabouts.
He knew very well what Akai Shuichi was thinking, and didn't mind what he did. The more dark clouds blocked the moonlight, the more they would block the crow's vision.
This area was not large, and he quickly found the first code member.
"Scotland." A low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and the person being called pointed his gun straight at me.
After seeing who it was, Scotland's smile remained unchanged and he said sorry without any apology.
After he finished speaking, he still didn't put down the gun. He just looked at Chidori and smiled softly, "You are the so-called otherworldly gin bar. Is this our first meeting?"
His words were gentle, and even his smile was as bright as that of a college student, but the hand holding the gun did not shake at all.
The man being pointed at seemed not to see the gun and walked towards Scotland.
He looked up and down at Scotland, not knowing what he was looking at. Just when he was about to reach the bottom of Scotland, he spoke: "The FBI has a team in the area you are in charge of. There is no trace of Akai Shuichi here for the time being."
Chidori did not mention their last unpleasant meeting, but simply talked about this mission.
Before Scotland could reply, he continued, "Just you, what are you doing? Are there FBI in the alley?"
Scotland's location is indeed the area he is responsible for, but such a geographical location is not suitable for arrest. Instead, it is more like hiding.
The suspicions that had arisen earlier were also raised at this moment. They all wore earphones from the [Organization]. Although they should have chosen to turn them off, they all knew in their hearts that they had to be careful with every word they said.
Scotland's smile did not change. He looked deeply at the man in front of him. When he was about to speak, Bourbon's voice came into his earphones: "We found Lei. Come to area C to block him. I'm chasing him now."
His voice was rapid, obviously he was speaking while running.
Bourbon's news interrupted their conversation. Scotland chuckled and turned around to rush to Area B without saying anything more.
Code members were equals, or so they said, so there was no point in Scotland telling the other party where he had just been.
Chidori didn't move. He just watched the other person leave. He looked carefully at the alley behind Scotland.
He narrowed his eyes slightly as if he had noticed something, but no emotion could be seen on his face.
At this moment, when everyone should have taken action, he did not move. He even took out the cigarette from his pocket and lit it with his lighter.
The star-like light from the cigarette butt slightly illuminated his dark green eyes, and the wisps of smoke blurred his face. He slowly took out the phone that was used to contact Akai Shuichi.
The other party was obviously still silent, and Chidori couldn't hear anything from the other side, so he waited patiently for a while.
After smoking half a cigarette, a voice came from the other side. Akai Hideichi said in a hurried voice, forcing himself to calm down: "You can go to area B first. The person you want to kill is there."
"Really?" Chidori responded calmly. He slowly exhaled smoke and said, "Akai Shuichi, where are you now?"
He thought to himself, if Shuichi Akai said it was Area B, then he probably wanted the FBI to take him away as well. If he said Area C, then he wanted to make him confront the organization.
The next moment, Akai Shuichi spoke, his voice had calmed down completely, and he replied: "Area A, come on."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, directly overturning Chidori's previous idea.
If I remember correctly, that area was where another of me was, and he had just come from there not long ago.
But he did not forget who he was most interested in. After finishing his cigarette, he put away the cigarette butt and turned to walk towards Area A.
Even if the speed is slow, the Neon Public Security Bureau should take action, and he is never afraid of any conspiracy or trickery.
After all, the current situation is different from what everyone thinks.
————————
Bourbon is indeed not in Area A now, but people will take action.
Moreover, the FBI is so vicious and cunning that even if they led the team to Gin's location, it had nothing to do with Bourbon who discovered the undercover trace.
He was able to reluctantly avoid getting entangled with Akai Shuichi because he also understood that it was not the best solution.
If he could get the police to take the blame, he could even put all the blame on the FBI.
So he temporarily cooperated with Akai Shuichi. After all, no matter what happened next, he would have room to escape.
"Bang!!"
The sound of a sniper rifle without a silencer is as terrifying as its speed and power.
Even in the darkness where the terrain could not be seen clearly, the bullet was still incredibly accurate, glancing past Shuichi Akai's arm and blocking his path.
Gin's voice rang in his earphones: "Neon Public Security has intervened. Bourbon, reduce the scope and make a quick decision."
His voice made Bourbon's smile freeze slightly. How come Gin knew about the police intervention so quickly?
He subconsciously thought of the biggest possibility, that there was an undercover agent of the [organization] within the public security department.
No, it could also be a public security action. From Gin's position, he might be able to observe the situation well.
After all, the location chosen for sniping is extremely important, and it is obviously not easy to do it with just one shot.
Bourbon didn't reply, but pulled the trigger and fired several bullets. Of course, Shuichi Akai would not stand still, so he also took out his gun.
Even if it was just a simple fight, Gin's superb skills allowed him to accurately locate the impressed Akai Shuichi even in such a dark night.
Bourbon mentally raised Gin's danger level to a higher level. Such strength was indeed enough to arouse jealousy.
But the opponent really just grazed Akai Shuichi and didn't really hit him in the vital parts. At worst, it was just a glancing blow. Was it really because of... the night?
Shuichi Akai seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of the force of Bourbon's attack, turned around and slipped into the abandoned building behind him.
This building has 11 floors. Due to problems with the contractor, it is still a rough draft. There are ceilings tied with stones around it, but it has accumulated a lot of dust, making it very easy for people to hide and chase.
Bourbon did not hesitate and followed Akai Shuichi in, and they disappeared together in Gin's sniper scope.
He fumbled for his beloved gun, his emotions unclear in his eyes. The positioning in his phone was active. He took a glance and chose to leave this very suitable sniping point.
The FBI, the police, and visitors from another world, it's really lively.
But when everyone thinks they can benefit and become the predator, they will only find out when they are about to die that they are also the prey.
That person's feeling was correct, they were indeed the same person, the same person who could understand each other's thoughts and ideas.
So next, you know what to do.
He pulled his hat down to hide the rare curve of his mouth and quickened his pace.
————————
Chidori was very fast, and he arrived at this unfinished building before anyone else knew about it.
He scanned the structure and materials of the building, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He thought now was a good time to verify his guess.
Although there is no definite direct evidence, it doesn't matter. His suspicion is the biggest evidence.
He held his breath and sneaked in almost silently. The sound of two people fighting in the empty building was particularly obvious.
After calculating the position in his mind, he installed the silencer and fired. The beam that had been placed there for a long time began to shake and was about to fall down. It fell directly under the continuous fire of bullets.
The collapse of the house obviously attracted the attention of the two people. The dense dust flew up, separating the two people who were chasing closely.
Bourbon stretched out his hand to wave away the dust, frowning as he searched for Akai Shuichi's figure in the thick smoke.
Just as the smoke gradually dissipated, the person who slowly walked out with a gun in hand was the unfamiliar Gin.
Before he could say anything, he heard a voice that seemed to pin him down:
"——You can kneel down and beg for mercy, you rat of the public security department."
