Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 794 Arriving at the IRS Office Building
"Shuichi Akai never fights a battle unprepared. Is he trying to lure us into making a move?"

Gin does listen to what vodka says.

He frowned and glanced around.

They didn't realize they were being watched.

His perception has improved a lot recently; if he doesn't sense something, the probability that it's not there is even greater.

But even if I didn't, could I deal with Shuichi Akai in a short time?
It's not like the other party won't fight back. Even though I've become stronger, if they really want to leave, I might not be able to keep them.

Neither of the outpost members showed up, so they have likely already been dealt with by Shuichi Akai.

If Cohen were here, with a sniper providing support and blocking movement, the chances of him escaping would be almost zero.

The passing residents glanced at the three strange people standing at the door, and were about to stop and watch the gossip when they were swept away by the eyes of Shuichi Akai and Vodka.

The feeling of being threatened terrified the women, causing them to turn pale and run away as if they wanted to call the police immediately, which was quite comical.

"Gin, wanna fight?"

Shuichi Akai squinted.

Despite saying that, Shuichi Akai was somewhat apprehensive.

He knew a little about Gin's ability to take on multiple opponents at Beika General Hospital, and his current strength was not to be underestimated; at least he alone was definitely no match for him.

But if you retreat at this time and Gin notices something, you might die an even more horrible death.

At that moment, a faint sound of a police siren suddenly rang out in the distance.

Upon hearing the sound, even though Gin still wanted to kill Shuichi Akai, he had no choice but to leave.

The biggest enemy now is Xia Chuan. Xia Chuan alone is already keeping him somewhat overwhelmed. If he were to go to war with the FBI as well, the organization would be unable to cope.

He was all too aware of the power the organization possessed at this stage.

It may be very strong, but it is not enough to directly wage war against multiple parties.

Gin gave Shuichi Akai a deep look, then turned and left, getting into his car without a second thought.

"Shuichi Akai, you just wait, there will be a time when you'll cry."

Vodka left a harsh remark, then happily got into the driver's seat, drove off in his Porsche 356a.

Watching Gin leave, Shuichi Akai breathed a sigh of relief.

The phone vibrated, which made Shuichi Akai slightly excited. He looked down and saw that it was Jodie calling, so he immediately answered the call.

"What happened?" he asked, his tone tinged with displeasure.

If Judy hadn't been out of contact, today's harvest might have been even greater. As long as he was certain this base was safe, he could even use it as a trap to catch Gin when he returned and wipe them all out.

"Are you FBI Agent Judith Sterling's superior?" came a steady male voice from the other end, tinged with displeasure.

The subordinate's phone picked up other people's voices, and they learned his and Judy's identities.

"it's me."

Shuichi Akai regained his composure and quickly left the scene before the police cars arrived.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

The middle-aged man from the IRS director's office raised an eyebrow slightly and subtly pressed down on his executive chair.

Since becoming the director of the State Taxation Administration, he has taken decisive action. Within a month, everyone across the country, whether from government departments or private enterprises, was trembling with fear when talking to him.

The director has already decided that a foreign intelligence agency that appeared in Japan without any application and is speaking so rudely is something he's already decided to do. He'll talk to the Prime Minister later and make sure the US pays a heavy price this time. Then he'll give the IRS face and get them to bail him out. This way, he'll gain benefits, improve relations with the IRS, and make extradition easier in future cross-border tax collection situations.

"Come to the IRS office building, I'll be waiting for you here."

Shuichi Akai had no idea that a single sentence he uttered would make the bureau chief think so much.

Moreover, he never expected that his first time redeeming someone would be at the State Taxation Administration office building, rather than the Public Security Bureau headquarters.

I saw Judy again in the prison cell.

Judy was inside, and Shuichi Akai was outside.

Do you remember when I left, Judy said she had a way to avoid being discovered by the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department? So being arrested by the IRS was also a way to avoid the risk?
Shuichi Akai's face inevitably turned ugly, and the joy of his victory over Gin vanished completely.

"This must be Natsukawa's doing. I've long suspected that Conan contacted Natsukawa before he came to us. We've all been tricked."

"We shouldn't believe him."

Judy blushed slightly and dared not look into Shuichi Akai's eyes.

Shuichi Akai knew he was talking about Conan.

He shook his head: "That guy is fine. If he was acting, I would have seen through it. The problem lies with Xia Chuan."

"Strange, the FBI has no grudge against him, why would they do this?"

Everyone's target is the Black Organization, so even if they don't cooperate, they shouldn't be adversaries. His sudden act of disgusting the FBI is baffling.

The head of the National Tax Service didn't give Shuichi Akai much time; he only glanced at him to let him know that they could negotiate.

"Alright, now that we've met, you can inform your superiors."

Inside the director's office, Shuichi Akai sat on the sofa, while the middle-aged man sitting in the boss's chair in front of him was the director of the National Tax Service.

Seemingly worried that the other party wouldn't contact higher-level leaders, he added: "Unauthorized cross-border investigations causing public panic, impersonating public security police, and illegal possession of firearms—these three things are not trivial matters."

“Mr. Shuichi Akai, since you are of Japanese descent and have American citizenship, you should know Japan’s attitude toward national security. I have investigated and found that you have been restricted from entering the country for a year, and the restrictions have not been lifted yet. So how did you end up here?”

Akai Hideaki remained expressionless, but his words conveyed the same message: your problem is serious, and you need to pay more.

Since there is a demand, Shuichi Akai has nothing to worry about.

"Director, this is a misunderstanding. We were investigating a transnational tax evasion group and happened to expose Dongtian Capital. Because of the urgency and the fear of information leaks, we had no choice but to take action first. We originally planned to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the operation was completed."

The bureau chief thought to himself, he didn't believe it.

Everyone knew that this statement was meaningless, but the bureau chief, a seasoned politician, did not refute it.

"In any case, the illegal act has been committed, and neither Japanese law nor international law should allow the enforcement of laws in any sovereign state without permission."

The bureau chief remained calm, shifting his leg to the other side, and said, "This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one; we still need to inform your superiors."

coming.

Shuichi Akai scoffed inwardly, but remained outwardly composed: "Fine, I'll speak to the FBI Director. It's true we failed to notify your country in time, but what about the Public Security Bureau?"

"You don't need to worry about the police. I'll coordinate this with your supervisor."

Upon hearing that it was a meeting with the FBI Director, the IRS Commissioner's face involuntarily broke into a smile. This was perfect! The agency was about to gain another powerful American-friendly organization.

Frank and Xia Chuan are indeed quite something.

The addition of these two individuals not only improved the relationship between the IRS and the IRS, but also provided an opportunity for many tax evaders who have fled to the United States to suffer the consequences.
