People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 851 Containment Jianggu Ling

"Strange, has anyone tampered with the East City Gang's files?"

Rei Furuya, a member of the Public Security Countermeasures Division, frowned, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He felt something was wrong when he was researching the data, but because the research was not comprehensive enough, although he felt that everything was wrong, he couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.

However, the situation is different now. Based on the materials presented by Shimano Tai in court, Furuya Rei can say with certainty that the Tojo Clan's information has definitely been altered by someone else.

As a result, some information related to these transactions was deliberately erased.

In general, this situation suggests that there are corrupt individuals within the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Once the individuals in question are identified, the underlying reasons can be uncovered.

But here's the strange thing—

Rei Furuya could not find out who the last person to use and modify this data was.

These materials had been gathering dust in the archives since they were first submitted, and no one had ever retrieved or modified them. Therefore, he couldn't find any possible suspects at all.

"...Could it be that someone within the Japanese Public Security Bureau connected to this person holds a very high position?"

His face was somewhat gloomy.

In theory, as a member of the Public Security Countermeasures Division, or Section Zero, Rei Furuya should have a fairly high level of authority when he receives a clear mission from the Investigator.

But if even he couldn't find any clues, it could only mean that the person who accessed the file was even higher up.

However, it is precisely because of this that Furuya Rei was able to find out who modified the file information and hid it—because there are not many people who can do such a thing.

At least, not many of them are among the high-ranking officials at the Tokyo headquarters of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

However, just as Furuya Rei was preparing to further investigate and verify this intelligence information, and then, after supplementing the intelligence information, further determine the current direction of the Omi Alliance.

An unexpected situation occurred at this time.

"What follows is not something you have the authority to investigate."

Having just left the Tokyo headquarters of the Japanese Public Security Bureau with his men, Furuya Rei, who was preparing to continue his offline investigation in Kamurocho, was immediately blocked in an alley by other men in black.

His brow furrowed involuntarily, realizing that the information had been leaked by a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

However, while feeling angry, he also felt a bit of joy. The reason was simple: this meant that the big shot behind this matter had been continuously paying attention to the development of related events; otherwise, it would have been impossible to find him.

Now that the big shot has made his move, in Furuya Rei's view, it's no longer something that can be found without a trace.

"I'm in a real hurry. Could you please explain the current situation?"

Faced with the attack from all sides, Furuya Rei merely glanced at the men in black blocking his path, then asked directly, seemingly casually,
"You should know what it means to lay a hand on members of the Zero Section of the Public Security Bureau who are on duty, right?"

Even though he was outnumbered, he still didn't have the idea of ​​drawing his gun directly.

In such a confined environment, using firearms is not as fast as taking direct action. Although there is a saying that a gun is accurate and fast within three steps, it also depends on who is using the gun and who is being pointed at.

If a well-trained high school girl can dodge a pistol shot at close range, he certainly can too.

"Of course we know you're a member of the Public Security Countermeasures Division. If we didn't, how would we have come to you? I advise you to stop now; it's not too late. If you continue, it will be too late." "After all, your rank is only so high. You can only temporarily gain higher authority when carrying out missions. But your missions will eventually end, won't they?"

The leader of the men in black said with a sneer.

At this moment, he calmly took out a pistol from his pocket. Judging from his posture, you could tell that he was not joking, but really dared to shoot at Furuya Rei.

This behavior is more like that of a yakuza in Kamurocho than an official.

Rei Furuya raised his eyebrows slightly.

Even after only a short period of contact, he could sense the lingering gangster-like demeanor emanating from these people. If they weren't gangsters, they must have had considerable contact with the underworld.

Otherwise, his behavior wouldn't have such a Kamurocho yakuza vibe.

However, if someone were truly a powerful figure capable of manipulating Japanese police files, they wouldn't send a group of thugs to ambush members of the Japanese police, so the possibility of organized crime can be ruled out.

What organization or department frequently operates in Kamurocho and has extensive contact with the yakuza?
If you asked Furuya Rei to think about it, he would only think of him as a police officer from the Kamurocho police station.

However, it is clear that police officers at the Kamurocho police station could not possibly have such skills, and even high-ranking officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, who oversee the entire Tokyo area, could not possibly have such skills.

As he pondered, the man in black seemed to grow impatient.

He pointed his pistol at Rei Furuya, and then said without any politeness,

"Don't think I don't know what the Japanese Public Security Bureau is planning right now. It's nothing more than using this opportunity to boost your performance. If that's the case, then just focus on boosting your performance. Why bother investigating these things?"

"This is the final ultimatum. Tell me, what is your choice?"

"You know, bullets don't have eyes. If I wait until I fire, it will be too late!"

"That's it."

Rei Furuya nodded slightly, and then said,

"Then, go ahead and shoot."

A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the man in black. He did not expect that a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau would have such courage to say such a thing while surrounded by so many people.

However, since Furuya Rei has said that, he definitely doesn't intend to back down.

While killing a member of the Public Security Countermeasures Division who was on a mission was too risky, simply beating him up to teach him a lesson was still within the scope of what the big shots behind them could suppress!
The man in black gave a wink to the men in black behind Rei Furuya.

The next moment, the man in black behind Furuya Rei slammed the butt of his gun down hard on Furuya Rei's back without any mercy. If it had hit him, it would have torn the seams of Furuya Rei's jacket.

However, to their surprise, the speed of the swooping zero was far beyond their expectations.

Not only did Furuya Rei easily dodge their attacks, but he also ducked low, nimbly circled behind them, and slammed the heads of the two men in black together, instantly forcing them offline.

Seeing this, the leader of the men in black couldn't hide his shock, but Furuya Rei wouldn't give them time to be shocked, and simply said...

"So, is there anyone else who wants to quit halfway through?"
