Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 588 Reunion
Kiel couldn't completely guess the intentions and movements of the organization's members, but he was pretty close.

I also made some guesses about James's thoughts.

But the more he understood the mentality of both sides, the more helpless Kiel became:
Should she expose herself?
Or should we protect ourselves?
Indeed, even if she exposed her identity to the FBI, she still had a chance to return to the organization, as long as the decision-makers of the FBI had a bit of brains like her. However, this also required the "cooperation" of the organization.

If the organization's approach to her is not rescue but execution, then her undercover career will come to an end.

If it was the latter case, then the difference would be whether she would be executed as a 'traitor'... But, this didn't seem to matter to the overall situation.

The best case scenario is that she can escape the control of the FBI and return to the organization. It would be great if she can be close to the core affairs as before. However, it seems that her hope of being accepted by the organization again is a little slim, let alone being trusted...

Kiel sighed deeply in his heart.

"Ms. Keel, I wonder how you think about it?" After seeing Keel didn't respond, James continued to wait patiently for a long time, "You seem to have been thinking for a long time."

James was hinting at something, and his originally calm gaze now had a hint of majesty.

Gil looked up and saw his expression. He cursed him inwardly as an old fox, but his expression remained indifferent: "Your ace... Akai Shuichi, is he missing?"

James' heart sank a little when he saw Gil suddenly mention Akai Shuichi. He said on the surface in a relaxed manner, "It seems that everyone in your organization has heard of Akai-kun. Unfortunately, Akai-kun has an important mission to perform, and today's incident was too sudden. Well...so we haven't contacted him yet."

James' tone was relaxed, as if he was chatting with someone over tea.

If Kiel hadn't been in the organization for so long, he would have believed it, but on the surface...

"Then wait for your ace to come to me in person." Kiel raised his chin with contempt in his eyes, "Before he comes, I will not tell you any news about the organization."

Even if they have to reveal that they are undercover agents, not everyone in the FBI can be trusted.

She had some knowledge of the organization's current penetration capabilities. Who knew if the FBI had also infiltrated the organization? Or if there were people who were in collusion with the organization?
Well, she thought the man named James in front of her was very suspicious!
James frowned slightly: "Oh? Why is that?"

"Why..." Keel pursed his lips, revealing a beautiful smile, and said with a sharp tongue, "Because you are not worthy!"

James: "..."

It’s weird. Now that they’re prisoners, how dare the female members of this organization still be so...arrogant?
After saying this, Kil inexplicably felt like he had gotten rid of his anger, and his expression became even more unbridled.

However, she had her own considerations when she said that she wanted Shuichi Akai to confront her: As everyone knows, Shuichi Akai is currently the organization's biggest thorn in the eye and thorn in the flesh. In other words, in the FBI that Kiel knows, Shuichi Akai is the only one who is least likely to have any "collaboration" with the organization.

Moreover, although she and Akai Shuichi had no intersection in the organization due to the nature of their missions, they had met once. Moreover, they had both worked for the organization. In her opinion, Akai Shuichi was more like "one of us"...

Although Kil always felt that there was something strange about this way of thinking, after thinking about it herself, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

James tried several times to get Kiel to speak, but Kiel insisted that Shuichi Akai come and confront her...

In the end, James had no choice but to return upstairs with nothing.

The place where they were temporarily staying this time was a Western-style building in Beido Town, which had a total of four floors including the basement.

Now, the FBI is nearby and has guarded the villa very tightly. Except for flies and rats, it is estimated that nothing can get in.

James came to the coffee table in the living room and sat on the sofa. "How is it? Soran, have you contacted Akai-kun?"

He had just been arguing with Kiel for more than half an hour.

Soran was sitting opposite James, drinking coffee. Hearing this, he put down his cup and said with a look of surprise, "Yes, Mr. James, I just contacted Akai..." "Oh?" James' eyes lit up, "Where is he now?"

"He said he is still in Beika Town. He said he couldn't contact us before, so he went to Beika to see if he could find any trace of us." Soran's expression continued to be ugly. "Akai is on his way here now."

James' brows, which had just relaxed for a while, furrowed again, "Akai-kun couldn't contact us before? How come?"

After Soran kidnapped Kiel, they were worried about being targeted by the organization, so they temporarily left Judy, who had lost contact, and came here immediately.

After that, they kept contacting Akai Shuichi. Although they contacted him once on the way, and they were still able to contact him when they wanted to stop the organization's actions, they were disconnected afterwards...

And Akai Shuichi's phone was always turned off or busy.

But the equipment on their side has always been working smoothly!

It can't be that every time they contact each other, the other party will contact them at that time, right?

And it's been like this for most of the day, not just for a short while...

James intuitively felt that there must be something wrong.

……

"Clatter, clatter, clatter..."
The rain became heavier as the night went on, and some areas of the ground with poor drainage were filled with water.

Shuichi Akai parked his car next to the garage next to the villa, got out of the car, locked it, and walked into the villa in the heavy rain.

He looked so wet and miserable.

For Shuichi Akai, his only achievement today was that he saved Kogoro Mori from the gunpoint of the organizers. If Rei hadn't come to help him, he might have ended up seriously injured.

Besides that, not only did he not get any information about the organization, but the FBI also lost a general...

"Mr. James, how are things going here?"

As soon as Akai Shuichi came in, he ignored Soran's tit-for-tat look, collected his thoughts, and asked James Blake.

Just now on the phone, he realized that he had kidnapped a member of an organization.

James and Akai Shuichi have worked together for many years, so he didn't say anything else and got straight to the point: "The organizer named Keel specifically said that he would only be willing to communicate with you if you come..."

"Where's Judy?"

“No news yet.”

"..."

Akai Shuichi was silent for a while, then took off his wet knitted hat and coat, "I'll go down to see her."

James took it and said, "Be careful."
