Conan Rick's Investigator

The tire of another white car was also blown out. It would be impossible to catch up with the car with the flat tire, and it would also attract the attention of the Japanese police, escalating the situation.

Seeing this, Shuichi Akai frowned and had to put down his arm holding the rifle.

Judy covered her abdomen where she was shot, and despite the severe pain, she first glanced at the people lying on the dock to make sure everyone was safe.

One is Ran Mouri and Ai Haibara, both of them are still lying there.

It seems that Ran Mouri was too nervous when she was threatened, causing her brain to pass out. Her body was pressing on Ai Haibara, and the two fell asleep together.

Then it was Conan, who was knocked unconscious by his own anesthetic needle and was still in a coma.

The last one was Cheng Shi, who was crawling on the ground, staring in disbelief in the direction away from the port.

Judging from the results, it was relatively good. Except for myself, no one else was injured.

"Who is that person...?"

Still standing there, Shuichi Akai murmured, thinking about what had just happened.

Shuichi Akai appeared here because he realized that something was wrong with the FBI withdrawing early, so he went back to the dock to take a look.

When he discovered that there was someone on the container, he saw a man squatting next to another sniper, apparently directing the sniper to fight.

When this person discovered that he was approaching from behind, he decisively ran away, leaving the unlucky sniper behind.

But I don't know why, I always feel that there is a familiar aura about this person...

Is this someone you met while undercover in the organization?

But if he is such a powerful character, I should have an impression of him.

At this moment, Judy's words brought him back to reality.

"Shuichi, the sniper on top of the container?"

Akai Shuichi raised his head and said calmly, "I've already broken that man's leg and taken his gun. Now I'm afraid he's crawling around like a stray dog."

"Thanks to him, this operation wasn't completely fruitless. We can take their accomplices back to report..."

The "he" that Akai Shuichi mentioned was the blond man.

Although he was an accomplice of the sniper, when he discovered that he was coming up from behind, this person did not think about reminding his accomplice, but instead sold out his teammates first.

Such a cold-blooded person should have a high status in the black organization.

Shuichi Akai, who had been undercover in the Black Organization for two and a half years, knew what the tone of this organization was, which was absolute indifference and ruthlessness.

Letting go of the sniper and rescuing Vermouth was probably because the sniper was just a useless minion, and Vermouth was more important in comparison.

Just as Shuichi Akai was thinking, a gunshot was heard from the container.

After the flash of fire, a body lay quietly on the edge of the container, never moving again.

Akai Shuichi was a little surprised, "Hey, hey, why does he still have a gun in his hand?"

Although he was just a small fry, Calvados was relieved to see Vermouth rescued and still chose to commit suicide.

This is also the code of conduct for the Black Organization. No one can be captured alive under any circumstances.

At this time, the sirens of police cars were heard in the distance.

Akai Shuichi smiled calmly, "The Japanese police should be coming."

Judy turned to look at Mao Lilan beside her and said with a gasp, "I think she must have called the police."

"She was hiding in the trunk. Even though she couldn't hear our conversation, she could still hear the gunshots."

"I think she might have become suspicious after seeing the photos in my closet and wanted to investigate my background..."

The operation failed, and with the Japanese police about to arrive, Shuichi Akai prepared to retreat with the large amount of equipment he had seized from Calvados.

Before leaving, Shuichi Akai once again reminded Judy to explain to the police that "an FBI agent who came to Japan on vacation encountered a child kidnapping case and had to intervene."

"In the end, the protagonist I was looking for still didn't show up."

"Besides, I can't meet this brown-haired girl yet. It's not the right time yet..."

The "protagonist" mentioned by Shuichi Akai is none other than Gin, with whom he has a blood feud.

Before he took revenge on Gin, he didn't have the face to recognize his girlfriend Akemi's sister.

Because if he had not approached Mingmei as an FBI undercover agent, Mingmei would not have been implicated and eventually executed by the organization's Gin.

Judy looked deeply at Akai Shuichi's back, and guessed that this brown-haired girl must be special to Shuichi.

Shuichi Akai walked in the other direction away from the dock, but saw Cheng Shi who was still awake, and the two looked at each other.

He didn't want the Japanese police to know of his existence, but Cheng Shi, a living person, had already seen him, and he couldn't let him lose his memory.

Remembering that Cheng Shi and Qin Zhibo had a good relationship, even a little ambiguous, Akai Shuichi simply walked to Cheng Shi, squatted down and whispered.

"Qin Zhibo and I are allies. Don't tell the police I was here..."

Shuichi Akai didn't say much. If Cheng Shi wanted to know the details, he would ask Qin Zhibo.

As a veteran FBI investigator who has reached a cooperation agreement with the FBI, Qin Zhibo naturally knows what to say and what not to say.

After everything was explained, Shuichi Akai left with peace of mind.

But Cheng Shi was completely stunned and didn't know what was going on.

Although the blond man in black had changed his face, Cheng Shi could still tell from his clothes that it was Qin Zhibo who came to the dock with him.

As a result, Qin Zhibo changed his face into someone else's, rescued the bad guy who wanted to persecute Xiao Ai, and then exchanged blows with another man who came.

After finishing the deed, this man still claimed that he was in cahoots with Qin Zhibo?

What's happening here?

Good guys rescue bad guys?

One's own people beating one's own people?

The logic here was too confusing, and Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out for a moment.

But he still chose to believe Qin Zhibo.

……

In Judy's car, Qin Zhibo stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the port.

Police cars whizzed past in the other lane.

Fortunately, Qin Zhibo had knocked off the broken glass with a pistol in advance, so it looked like the car window was not broken, but just lowered.

In addition, it was late at night and the police were in a hurry to respond to the call, so no one noticed that a fierce gunfight had just taken place in this car.

In the passenger seat, Vermouth covered the injured knee with one hand, while also being alert to Michael next to her.

It's the real Michael, not Qin Zhibo...

Vermouth was still monitoring the sounds from the ghost ship. The ship had not yet docked, so it was even less likely that Qin Zhibo on the ship would jump off the ship and swim over.

Michael and Qin Zhibo are two completely different people. I misunderstood.

But why was Michael at the dock?

This plan was secretly planned by himself from beginning to end, even Gin didn't know about it. Why did he know?

And most importantly, when did Michael start observing himself?

Was it when Calvados didn't shoot? Or was it when Calvados disobeyed his orders and shot at Mao Lilan?

Or even earlier...

At this moment, Vermouth couldn't help but shiver, feeling the oppression of the man next to her.

He could monitor himself without being noticed by himself, and he could even fight against the FBI ace Shuichi Akai. He is worthy of being the confidant sent by the boss to inspect the organization's cadres.

Deeply wary of Michael, Vermouth didn't dare to ask him in a normal tone what had just happened.

He was afraid that if he said a wrong word, it would not only harm himself but also implicate Conan and Ran Maoli.

If Michael had been secretly observing me somewhere, would he have discovered that I had been holding back from those two people?

What if he discovered his feelings for those two and reported it to the boss...

In fact, after she and Gin realized that "Michael" was sent by the boss of the organization, Vermouth became more wary of Michael, and even cooperated with Bourbon to find out Michael's usual identity.

If it were in the past, she would have diligently completed various tasks in the organization and would not have been afraid of the boss sending people to investigate.

But now it’s different. I can’t let go of those two children. Once they are implicated, sooner or later I will be exposed.

Therefore, she should be much more careful with Michael than Gin, otherwise, if she is not careful, she will fall into an abyss from which there is no escape.

Even if that person dotes on you very much, he or she will never allow you to do anything wrong.

In other words, that person was not doting on me, but I had made a great contribution to him, so he had to be taken seriously.

But now Michael suddenly appeared at the dock, and seemed to have been directing Calvados from there. She was very worried that Michael had figured out something.

After all, with her style of doing things, it is impossible for Ran Mouri, who was holding Shirley, to miss a single shot, and she should not order Calvados to stop.

It is difficult to make up for the mercy I showed my men.

……

After driving for a while and thinking a lot, Vermouth finally calmed down a little and asked tentatively.

"Where are you taking me?"

Facing Vermouth's question, Michael didn't even look at her. He just stared calmly ahead and said calmly, "Go to a safe place."

This cold and indifferent tone, as if talking to a dead person, gave Vermouth a bad feeling.

safe place?

What kind of safe place is it?

In fact, even Vermouth didn't know that "Michael" next to her had just decided where to go next.

Qin Zhibo rescued Vermouth temporarily because he suddenly received a call from Mr. Clock, so he naturally had no time to plan for the rest.

If it weren't for Mr. Clock's call, he would have watched Vermouth being captured by the FBI.

But if the FBI catches Vermouth, she may be brought back to the United States for interrogation, or the FBI may cooperate with the Japanese police.

No matter which way he chose, he would never be able to contact Vermouth alone again, let alone find the half piece of Panester fragment.

So in that emergency situation, I had to take action and save the person I didn't want to save.

But as long as he finds out the whereabouts of the Panester fragments, Qin Zhibo will still hand over Vermouth to the FBI.

So, now Qin Zhibo just needs to calm Vermouth's emotions and let her follow him somewhere quietly.

Taking advantage of his status as the "confidant of the organization boss" in her mind, and the fact that he had just saved her, this woman should not be too wary of him.

Once we get there, we can catch them off guard...

……

On the other side, the ghost ship is about to dock.

There were no handcuffs on the boat, so everyone had to find a rope to tie up the murderer, the werewolf, and then take off his leather shoes as evidence.

The flashing police lights on the shore indicated that once they reached the shore, tonight's events would be settled.

Hattori Heiji leaned on the deck railing, still looking worried.

I don't know if things are going smoothly with Kudo...

In comparison, Kudo Yukiko behaved more normally, chatting and laughing with fans around her with a lively look on her face, enjoying the treatment of a star.

When it was almost time, she found Qin Zhibo to discuss what she had originally planned to do in Japan.

But when Yukiko came to the side of the King in Yellow, just as she was about to speak, "Qin Zhibo" started signing to her.

"Qin Zhibo" first pointed at himself, then his head sank, looking drowsy, and then he made a sleeping gesture with his hands as a pillow.

Yukiko wondered, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to sleep?"

"Qin Zhibo" nodded.

Yukiko checked the time and it was indeed midnight, but adults should be able to stay up late, right?

And why can’t you talk when you’re sleepy?

Did you shout too loudly on the mast just now and your voice is hoarse?
