Chapter 555: After all, I lost to my “father-in-law”
Miyano Akemi's true character performance successfully dispelled Akai Shuichi's inquiring mind.
Don't say she is still Miss Asai now.
Even if she takes off her mask and reveals her true face, Akai Shuichi will not be willing to believe that she is Miyano Akemi.
On the other side, the dispute between Fangtani Rei and Miss Judy also came to an end:
He strongly withstood the pressure of the FBI's banner and insisted that Shuichi Akai and Kamel be taken back for formal arrest and interrogation procedures, without any special treatment being given to foreigners.
Miss Judy had no choice but to leave alone and go back to find her superiors to move reinforcements.
Immediately afterwards, Jianggu Ling also said a warm farewell to Lin Xinyi and others, held his breath, and walked away with his two prisoners.
The excitement of these two days has come to an end.
"Finally sent them away."
Seeing Shuichi Akai being put into a car and taken away by force, Bermod couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief:
"Seeing that guy's face really brings back very bad memories."
As she said that, she couldn't help but look back at Miyano Akemi:
"Unexpectedly, his acting skills are quite good."
"The scene I just performed freely, even I almost believed it."
"Huh?" Miyano Akemi was slightly startled: "Miss Chris, what you just said were all acting?"
"if not?"
"Wait a minute." Belmod reacted belatedly: "Weren't you acting just now?"
She had never known about the accident between Lin Xinyi and Miyano Akemi before.
"Have you ever really had an 'accident'?"
Belmod's tone was very strange.
His eyes became a little resentful.
"Well" Miyano Akemi avoided her eyes in embarrassment.
Haihara Ai on the side knew the ins and outs of the matter, so even if her boyfriend had performed artificial respiration and chest compressions on her sister, it was very likely that he would have even performed catheterization during the rescue process. (Haihara Ai did not. She believed in the theory that "a medical miracle happened to her sister", so she followed the normal first aid procedures for tetrodotoxin poisoning patients to restore the truth)
She can accept it too.
Accept it!
Although I know intellectually that this is just a normal medical behavior.
But once I think of those images, it still makes people feel bad emotionally.
Not to mention artificial respiration, but also catheterization.
Haihara Ai briefly reviewed the procedure of catheterization in her mind, and then replaced the doctor and patient in this picture with her boyfriend and sister.
The mentality exploded instantly.
Stop talking about her.
Even Mr. Shuichi Akai, who is invincible, lonely and aloof, would probably break his defense instantly because of this, right?
"Huh!" Hui Yuan Ai's face also fell.
"Cough cough cough cough." Lin Xinyi quickly avoided this dangerous topic: "Now is not the time to explain this."
"By the way, Miss Akemi"
"I have to ask you something:"
An idea flashed in his mind and he forcibly changed the subject:
"Jiang Guling, are you familiar with this name?"
"Huh?" Miyano Akemi, who was immersed in shame, finally found a chance to escape.
So she hurriedly responded: "Does Fangtani Zero refer to the Fangtani police officer just now?"
"That's right." Lin Xinyi pretended that the awkward atmosphere just now was completely gone, and just asked seriously:
"Recall whether you know a person named Fangtani Rei."
"No. This name may not be true either."
"Anyway, Miss Mingmei, think about it, among your past acquaintances, who knows your writing habits better?"
During these two days of communication, Officer Fang Gu never revealed any flaws.
But he still revealed a little bit:
He is very familiar with Miyano Akemi.
I am so familiar with it that I even know the small changes in her writing style when she is sad.
Of course, it is also possible that other people in the Japanese police collected information about Miyano Akemi. It does not mean that the information must have come from Rei Fukutani, or that he must be a former acquaintance of Miyano Akemi.
But in order to change the subject and try his luck, Lin Xinyi asked Miyano Akemi.
"Falling Gu Ling?"
Miyano Akemi frowned slightly:
"I didn't have any special feelings when I met him."
"But the name."
She hesitated to speak and fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a long time, Miyano Akemi gave the answer:
"I don't seem to have any impression."
She really couldn't remember.
Because Miyano Akemi's experience of meeting and interacting with Furitani Rei when she was a child has completely different meanings in their hearts.
For Rei Fukiya, the encounter with the Miyano family was an important moment that changed the trajectory of his life.
Elena Miyano is the angel who saved his life.
He even decided to become a police officer just to find this missing "first love" when he grew up - falling in love with Japan, his "lover", was something that happened later.
But for Miyano Akemi
Fangtani Rei was nothing more than one of the many playmates she knew when she was a child, one who was more distinctive.
She can only vaguely remember that when she was a child, a strange mixed-race boy always came to the clinic to chat with her mother, and she remembered the gentle words her mother left when comforting the boy.
But the protagonist of this memory is her mother.
As for the little boy, she couldn't even remember his name.
This wasn't because she wasn't familiar with Fang Gu Ling at first, but because time had passed too long.
Don’t forget, there is an age gap between Rei Furitani and Akemi Miyano.
When they met as children, Rei Fukiya was already 11 years old—at this age, Conan was almost capable of solving crimes on his own.
Since Jiang Gu Ling's mind is greater than or equal to Yi Ke, he can naturally retain the original memory in every detail.
But at that time, Miyano Akemi was less than 6 years old.
This is still at kindergarten age.
A 24 or 5-year-old adult has experienced the baptism of working life, and his life circle has changed long ago.
Unless they have continued to communicate with each other after graduation, it is probably difficult to remember the names of classmates in junior high school and high school, let alone playmates in kindergarten.
so.
"Sorry, I really have no impression of him."
Miyano Akemi shook her head helplessly, saying that she really couldn't remember who Rei Fukiya was.
However, she thought of an explanation for the fact that Officer Furitani was familiar with her personal writing habits:
"Could it be that the Japanese police investigated my former classmates?"
She went to elementary school, middle school and high school with the name "Miyano Akemi".
The pseudonym "Masami Hirota" was adopted after she entered university, using the surname of her mentor, Professor Hirota.
Therefore, if the Japanese police went to track down Miyano Akemi, it would not be difficult to find her classmates when she was studying.
"Those classmates who have a good relationship with me should all know this little habit of mine."
"Perhaps Officer Furuya got the information from them?"
Miyano Akemi gave such a guess.
And this guess is obviously more reasonable than the guess that "Officer Fangtani is an acquaintance of hers".
"That's right." Lin Xinyi sighed softly: "It seems that we can only find another opportunity to test the identity of this police officer Jianggu."
Lin Xinyi and Miyano Akemi discussed Fangtani Rei's identity.
On the other side, while driving back to the Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Security Department, Rei Fukutani was also discussing Miyano Akemi’s identity with Shuichi Akai.
"Mr. Akai."
While driving, Rei Furitani quietly observed Akai Shuichi's expression in the rearview mirror in the back seat.
Then he asked suddenly and off guard:
"That Miss Asai is Miyano Akemi?"
"Huh?" Akai Shuichi frowned.
He did not panic at all because of the surprise interrogation.
Feng Gu Ling only received a flawless indifferent expression:
"Why do you ask?"
"Are you trying to mislead us into believing that you, the Japanese police, don't have any information about 'Miyano Akemi' with this kind of useless question?"
"No" Fangtani Ling curled his lips: "You think too much."
"I ask you this question just because you called her 'Mingmei' yourself."
"That's just an illusion." Akai Shuichi replied calmly: "The voice of Ms. Asai has some similarities to Akemi, but she is not her."
"So I said at that time that I had the wrong person."
"Is it?"
"But after you admitted that you recognized the wrong person, you secretly observed Miss Asai."
"Can I not see such an obvious little move?"
Rei Fukiya's aggressive questioning suddenly caused Akai Shuichi to fall into a brief silence.
Recalling the delicate mood just now, he pondered for a moment before answering:
"Maybe it's because of the so-called sixth sense. Even if I find out that I've mistaken the person, I still feel that she looks like her."
"But I finally confirmed that this woman is not Mingmei."
He rarely explained so much.
But Officer Fang Gu was still not satisfied:
"Really? I don't believe it."
Akai Shuichi: "."
He suddenly realized that he was wasting his saliva.
Just like Rei Furuya refused to believe the truth he said "Miyano Shiho is not in the hands of the FBI" no matter what.
From this perspective of competition, the more serious and detailed his explanation is, the more his opponent will suspect that you are making it up.
"She's not, anyway."
"If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself."
Akai Shuichi's tone became cold.
"You seem a little angry." Rei Fukutani became more concerned: "Mr. Akai, since she is not Miss Akemi, why are you still angry about this?"
Akai Shuichi actually had such an obvious emotional change because of several problems.
This is a very rare situation.
"." Akai Shuichi was silent for a while.
He knew that he was a little out of control, but somehow he couldn't control his emotions well.
"In short, she is not Mingmei, because"
Facing the annoying police officer Furiya, Shuichi Akai simply expressed his true thoughts:
"That Miss Asai has a 'good' relationship with Mr. Lin."
"She can't be Akemi."
"Huh?" Fang Guling didn't expect that he would get such an answer.
Now he understood where Akai Shuichi's bad mood came from.
It's because the imaginary "girlfriend" ran away with another man.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Fang Guling couldn't help laughing.
"That's enough." Shuichi Akai interrupted the other party's ridicule coldly: "Let's drive quickly."
"Judy left before us. My superior's call should be coming to the Japanese police soon."
"If you don't send me back quickly, I may not even have a chance to sit on the chair in the interrogation room, and I will be released on bail in an open and fair manner."
"You?!" Fanggu Ling's smile stopped abruptly.
He was still laughing at others.
Only now do I remember that my "lover" still calls me daddy.
"Asshole!" Officer Fang Gu almost broke his defense again:
"This time things are different."
"Don't even think about leaving so easily, don't even think about it!"
Three hours later, the Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Security Department.
"Sorry, our personnel did violate the regulations this time. I hope it did not have a big impact on your work."
"This matter is related to the just cause of mankind to fight against terrorist organizations. As the incident happened suddenly, I hope you can understand the reaction of our personnel and pay attention to the attitude towards our personnel in the future."
"You and I just need to apologize to each other."
"This matter is settled."
"."
After reading this official letter from the FBI, Jiangu Ling was almost furious.
He had never thought about going through the legal process and having Akai Shuichi go to jail for espionage - because this was impossible.
All Rei Fukiya wants is an apology from the FBI and the dignity his "lover" has lost.
Unexpectedly, what he waited for in the end was:
"Mutual apology?"
"You translate, translate, what does mutual apology mean?!"
In fact, there is no need for translation at all.
He knew in his heart that "mutual apology" meant that they should let the person go quickly and respectfully, without any illusions.
"Ahem. Just apologize to each other." The leader of the Ministry of Public Security responded awkwardly: "Jiang Gu, you also beat others, didn't you?"
"Is that considered a beating?"
"It's obvious that he didn't fight back on purpose!"
"Forget it," the leader said kindly, "There's no point in discussing who is right and who is wrong in this matter."
"At least the Americans are willing to apologize this time."
"Just think about how many countries in the world can make Americans admit their mistakes and apologize?"
"." Jianggu Ling was silent for a while.
Faced with the leader's strange statement, he was speechless.
"Those Americans have never even been willing to do the superficial act of bowing."
"It's already a big improvement for them to issue a formal apology this time."
"Jianggu, you have also won glory for the country this time. The superiors will never forget your contribution."
A leader is worthy of being a leader.
As he talked, this seemed to be an unprecedented honor.
"Then let them go like this?"
Fangtani Rei asked very reluctantly.
"Otherwise? What else do you want to do?"
"Tell me what you can do?"
"."
Officer Fangtani is autistic.
He beat Shuichi Akai.
But after all, he can't win against his "father-in-law".
Thanks to Miss Judy's rescue, Akai Shuichi and Kamel were quickly released on bail safe and sound.
They regained their freedom without any doubt.
Like the winner of this war.
But this dominance does not actually belong to them, but to the FBI and the powerful country behind the FBI.
Specific to these parties, their mood and situation are not good.
"This time we lost face so much in front of the Japanese police."
"You won't be demoted when you go back, right?"
Kamel was always worried.
"No." Miss Judy comforted her kindly: "Our team has been operating for a long time and is not easy to replace."
"It's just that James also said:"
Her expression became a little embarrassed again:
"The superiors are very dissatisfied with our failure this time."
"We must be more cautious in our actions in Japan from now on."
"If something like today happens again, even with Shuichi's status, I'm afraid he will be punished internally."
The air became more and more depressing.
Akai Shuichi remained calm.
He didn't care about personal honor or disgrace, he only thought about the organization and Miyano Akemi.
"Mistakes have been made, and no amount of discussion can change the established facts."
"Let's talk about future work."
Akai Shuichi said solemnly:
"In the final analysis, we still lost to the Japanese police this time."
"The prisoner was captured by them, and the only clue fell into their hands."
"Although the Japanese police will swallow their anger in front of our FBI, it does not mean that they are our vassals."
"Once such key interests are involved, the Japanese police will not be as obedient as they were when they released him."
The FBI ultimately failed this time.
And it failed miserably.
After the undercover agents inserted into the core of the organization were unfortunately eliminated one by one, the only clue the FBI had about the Miyano sisters was this unexpected case.
But now that the clues have fallen into the hands of the Japanese police, it can be said that they have been completely broken.
They shifted the focus of their work back to Japan with great fanfare, but as soon as they opened for business, they were beaten by their competitors and almost went bankrupt.
So here comes the question:
"What should we do next?"
"Retreat to the United States in despair and continue to look for the missing Miss Chrissie Wynyard?"
Shuichi Akai used rhetorical questions to make everyone understand the current situation.
The line they had been chasing in the United States for two years had been broken long ago because of Belmode's disappearance.
And the undercover agents they placed inside the organization were almost wiped out because of Akai Shuichi's exposure and involvement two years ago, and Gin's sudden "rage cleaning" a few months ago.
Now even Miyano Akemi's line is broken.
So they, a working group set up specifically to deal with confrontational organizations, encountered an extremely embarrassing problem:
"Now we can't even find a way to fight against the organization."
Akai Shuichi said the facts calmly.
"I'm sorry." Kamel was a little ashamed: "It's all my fault for causing everyone trouble two years ago, otherwise."
"That's all in the past."
Akai Shuichi has no intention of digging up old scores and taking the blame.
He just wanted to point out the next course of action:
"Since the organization has no way out, we might as well try to get close to the Japanese Public Security Bureau."
"The Japanese police not only have clues about Mingmei."
"And we cannot rule out the possibility that Miyano Shiho is in their hands."
Anyway, idle is idle.
Since you don't know what to do next, it's better to try to steal ready-made information from friendly forces.
Not to mention that in addition to fighting the organization, the FBI now has a more urgent problem that needs to be solved:
Who rescued Miyano Shiho?
Why are there rumors out there that they are the FBI?
The answer to this question can only be found in other intelligence services.
At present, the competitor who is most likely to succeed is the local police, the Japanese police.
"This" Miss Judy couldn't help but put forward an opinion: "Isn't this difficult to do?"
"Our FBI doesn't have many informants in the Japanese police."
To spy on such important information, you have to mix water with the core departments of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
But the internal affairs work of the Japanese police is not bad either.
Compared with the FBI, it is not bad, but compared with the "wineries" full of fake wine, it is impeccable.
Rather than expending this energy to risk infiltrating the Japanese police, it would be better to spend a few years slowly rebuilding the FBI's undercover intelligence network within the black organization!
"Judy, you're right."
"The Japanese police are naturally not that easy to penetrate."
Shuichi Akai answered his teammates’ doubts calmly:
"But don't forget it."
"We have a ready-made 'Japanese Public Security Bureau' right in front of us."
"Judging from today's performance, that man should be an expert consultant hired by the Japanese Public Security Bureau."
"The Japanese police trust him very much - even if it is a secret investigation about the organization, he can get involved."
"This" Judy and Kamel both reacted.
There is indeed a person who not only has access to key information about the Japanese public security, but is also very easy to penetrate.
And this person is:
"Lin Xinyi?"
