Chapter 590 Anti-stalking master?

James Blake's temperament is very confusing.

Anyone who sees this smiling bearded man, his meticulous suit and square black-rimmed glasses will subconsciously think that he is an elegant and easy-going scholar and a respected old gentleman.

No one would have thought that he would be an FBI investigator who has experienced countless bloody storms.

This harmless face is the best disguise mask. It allows James Blake to hide silently in the crowd and let the target unconsciously fall into control.

Same this time.

With his superb tracking skills, Mr. James drove all the way from Lin Xinyi's apartment to the circus performance venue without being noticed by the other party.

After getting off the bus, he perfectly dressed up as a familiar foreign tourist on the streets of Tokyo. Like a drop of water falling into the sea, he blended into the crowd of tourists outside the circus venue.

Lin Xinyi still didn't notice him until now.

“This guy’s powers of observation”

"Isn't it as strong as Xiuyi said?"

James frowned slightly.

Following all the way until now, Lin Xinyi has not shown any unexpected observation skills.

Not even a basic anti-tracking awareness.

He's definitely a layman.

On the contrary, Miss Chris next to him would occasionally inadvertently look around with the corner of her eyes, giving people a sense of intimidation that was shrewd, capable and difficult to approach.

This seems to be different from what Akai Shuichi said.

According to the ace agent's report, Miss Chris is indeed a good civilian expert, but she is still far behind Lin Xinyi.

Lin Xinyi's marksmanship is so good that he doesn't look like he has a green card from the United States. His physical fitness, fighting skills, resourcefulness, and observation skills are not inferior to those of the world's top masters.

"Is it because you thought your situation was safe, so you didn't deliberately observe it?"

"Or is it that he has discovered something is wrong but is carefully covering it up?"

Mr. James gradually became nervous.

Although the situation at the moment is more like the former.

But since the description in Akai Shuichi's report had a strategic intimidation effect, he couldn't help but believe the latter.

Maybe the other party really discovered something and was just pretending?

James was thinking this, suddenly.

Lin Xinyi, who was on the phone, put down his phone without warning and turned his head sharply.

"Don't look around!"

Belmode pretended to be intimate as a couple, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Lin Xinyi's face back:

"What's the use of looking back like this?"

"Could it be possible to distinguish the stalker from the crowd just by looking back?"

They just received a call from Noah's Ark.

Noah's Ark mentioned on the phone that the 'anti-terrorism version of Conan' crime prediction system detected that they might be being followed.

As soon as Lin Xin heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head subconsciously, trying to observe whether there was any suspicious person around him.

This extremely unprofessional operation immediately drew a helpless look from Teacher Belmode:

“Really”

"I taught you everything before in vain."

"I'm giving you extra lessons and you always say you're busy with work and don't have time. You're working harder as a police officer than an undercover agent. Who's making the money for you?"

The Witch with a Thousand Faces started to chatter in a rare manner.

She muttered something to Lin Xinyi before patiently giving instructions:

"Anyway, don't act too weird."

"Just pretend that you haven't discovered anything, meet Dr. Ali and the others as planned, and then go to the circus with the children."

"Anyway, no matter who the stalker is, he is unlikely to do anything to us in such a crowded place."

"Similarly, there are so many citizens and tourists around here, it is difficult for us to find him among the crowd."

"Yeah" Lin Xinyi nodded sheepishly.

He knew that Belmode was right.

Although Noah's Ark found someone following him, it only monitored the base station communications near Lin Xinyi's location and noticed that a mobile phone was following Lin Xinyi from near the apartment to the circus venue.

And after Lin Xinyi stopped, the cell phone signal source stopped moving.

Maybe someone is following you.

It is also possible that they were tourists who happened to live near Lin Xinyi and happened to come here to watch the circus show at the same time.

Although the latter answer is not impossible, it requires too much "coincidence".

So Noah's Ark decisively judged this person as a stalker.

However, because this mobile phone number was not registered with a real name, and it was a new mobile phone number that was activated just two days ago, it lacked text message communication content for analysis, and even the call records were blank.

Therefore, Noah's Ark was unable to determine the identity of the stalker for the time being.

We can only speculate based on Belmod's personal experience that the other party may be a professional agent who happened to change his mobile phone number regularly due to work safety regulations.

But whether he is an agent, which company he is an agent from, and why he comes to follow Lin Xinyi are all unknown mysteries that cannot even be speculated on.

The only thing everyone can know now is:

The other party was near Lin Xinyi at this time.

Considering the limited accuracy and large error of signal positioning, the range referred to by "nearby" is actually as much as 500 meters.

The "Randy Hawke" circus performing here today is famous all over the world. Their tour to Japan briefly sparked a wave of circus craze in Tokyo.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to describe the crowds of reporters, spectators, and tourists gathered at the scene at this moment.

Using only a mobile phone number to find one person among nearly a thousand citizens and tourists within a 500-meter radius sounds like there is little hope.

"So let's not alert others now."

"Let Noah's Ark monitor his cell phone signal first."

"When I get to a suitable location with few people and narrow terrain, I will naturally have a way to catch him."

While telling Lin Xinyi to keep a low profile, Belmode smiled confidently.

"Suitable location?"

Lin Xinyi read her thoughts.

Indeed, the circus performance venue is now crowded with people and the terrain is open.

The stalker could just find a seat and sit quietly among the tourists, spying on his actions from a distance.

But it's different if you go to a place with few people and narrow terrain.

With fewer people, there are fewer possible suspects.

The terrain is narrow, so in order to keep the target within sight, the tracker can only shorten the distance.

For example, alleys, underground passages, and indoor restaurants.

"Then we just have to have Noah's Ark dress up as a telemarketer and give that guy a call."

"Whoever's phone happens to be ringing is the target we are looking for."

"As for now"

"Just go on our 'date' first and don't find anything strange."

Belmod's voice sounded like he was sure of victory.

After saying that, she smiled and took Lin Xinyi's arm, and continued walking towards the venue unhurriedly.

Lin Xinyi's glance back without warning just now scared James quite a bit.

He thought he had really been discovered.

As a result, the other party just looked back aimlessly for a while, then turned around and looked at his girlfriend affectionately, and began to whisper to each other.

James continued to follow, and soon found Lin Xinyi and Chris meeting at the entrance of the venue with a bald old man holding circus tickets and five elementary school students beside him.

"I see."

"He looked back just now because he received a call from this old man. Was he looking for a friend to meet here?"

Mr. James finally understood.

It turned out to be just a false alarm.

He relaxed and continued to follow, and soon bought a ticket for the circus performance. Under the cover of the flow of tourists, he quietly followed Lin Xinyi and others into the circus performance venue.

Finally, James sat down safely in his seat.

This position is not far from Lin Xinyi and others, and the angle is just right. It is just right for you to pretend to watch the show while secretly paying attention to the movements of Lin Xinyi and others with the corner of your eye.

With comfortable seats, wonderful performances, and snacks and Cokes also bought with public funds, this surveillance mission can be said to be very easy.

The only thing that gave James a headache was the strange looks from the surrounding audience.

Because he looks a bit like Randy Hoke.

That is, the owner of "Randy Hawke Circus", a world-famous billionaire.

Originally, not many people recognized him as "Mr. Hawke" outside the venue.

But now that I entered the venue, there was a mugshot of their circus owner, Randy Hawke, who looked 90% similar to James Blake, directly posted on the wall of the venue.

Compare the real person and the photo

Many spectators sitting around recognized him as "Randy Hoke."

"Are you the owner of the Randy Hawke Circus, Mr. Hawke?"

Someone couldn't help but asked curiously.

"No, no, I'm not Mr. Hawke."

"We just look alike."

James waved his hand helplessly and explained.

Then he carefully lowered his head lower.

After struggling for a while, he finally calmed down the little commotion around him.

Fortunately, this did not affect his surveillance work.

In the distance, Lin Xinyi and others were still chatting and laughing to themselves. Even if their eyes occasionally glanced past him inadvertently, they would not stay there for too long.

So James continued to observe calmly:

"Lin Xinyi, Chrissy, Dr. Ali."

Based on the information collected and secretly reported by Akai Shuichi in advance, he recognized the identities of several people around Lin Xinyi:

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, there is nothing to say, they are ordinary elementary school students.

Edogawa Conan is an ordinary elementary school student who wears a pair of foot strength kicks that can kill people with one kick.

Dr. Ali, an ordinary old man whose inventions are a hundred times more advanced than the FBI's customized special agent equipment.

Um. Something seems wrong?

James just felt something strange and was thinking about tying Dr. A Li back to Mi Li Jian to contribute to the country's scientific and technological construction, when his will was silently modified by Ke Xue's Law.

They are just ordinary elementary school students and ordinary old men, yes.

As for the last cute little girl with brown hair.

This seems to be just an ordinary primary school student.

If there is anything special about her, it would be that Shuichi Akai mentioned casually in the information: she is precocious and astringent.

This was the first time James saw such a comment being used on a primary school student.

You can see the precocity.

That Miss Haihara Ai always had a calmness on her face that didn't suit her age.

Even when she was chatting and joking with a few elementary school classmates, or even being made to laugh, the corners of her mouth would only slightly curl into a just right arc, and she would smile coldly and elegantly.

This is indeed the behavior of little adults.

It’s hard to imagine that a child’s smile can reveal such mature and intellectual beauty.

However, it is precisely because of this maturity and intelligence that it is hard to believe that Shuichi Akai would evaluate her as a "very astringent loli".

Does it look like this?

How disgusting is this thought to think of a 7 or 8-year-old girl like this?

Mr. James felt that there might be something wrong with his agent's mental state.

Could it be that you read some strange comics after returning to Japan?

The Japanese are really perverted.

They always draw such outrageous content in comics.

Unlike the United States, they are all played for real.

It is said that a billionaire named Epstein recently bought a private island and secretly invited many famous people to attend his private party on the island.

Some FBI colleagues noticed something strange and tried to investigate, but the investigation was suppressed by the superiors before it even started.

I don’t know what happened on the island.

This may not be revealed until decades later, or maybe never.

Mr. James couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

As I thought about it, my thoughts couldn't help but wander to taboos that no one within the FBI dared to touch.

no way.

This surveillance mission is too boring.

Lin Xinyi and her girlfriend, plus an old man and a few elementary school students, what is there to monitor?

Monitoring the other party is just to wait and see, waiting for the organized killers and Japanese police who may appear around them at any time.

Although I had to stare, it was too boring to stare at.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a circus show to watch, Mr. James would have been tempted to doze off.

"Let Judy and Kamel come next time."

"Mr. Lin Xinyi's observation skills don't seem to be as strong as Xiuyi said. At least, he doesn't have the vigilance engraved in his instincts at all."

"Judy and Kamel should be able to deal with an amateur."

With this in mind, James planned to call two subordinates to change shifts after today.

But at this moment:

The one in the distance was held by Hui Yuan Ai's hand and Miss Chris's arm on the other. Both of them were very busy. It seemed that they were just accompanying their girlfriend and raising the baby, and were completely unaware of the strangeness around them. Shinichi suddenly received a call.

He answered the call calmly.

Then there was a period of thinking, observation, and a few inaudible low-pitched discussions with the girlfriend next to me.

Finally stood up suddenly.

Lin Xinyi left his seat without any warning.

And if they were not going to other places, they were coming to James Blake, the watcher sitting low-key in the auditorium far away.

"Did he find me?"

Mr. James was a little surprised.

He really couldn't figure out how someone could notice that he was sitting here just now.

If the other party's observation ability is really strong, shouldn't he be aware of it during the tail tracking phase where the flaw is most likely to be exposed?

Now I'm mixed in with the crowd and doing nothing, so why am I being discovered?

Could it be that he made a mistake and Lin Xin was just passing by?

As soon as James had this idea, he saw Lin Xinyi getting closer and closer to him, and finally walked to his seat without any bias, and stopped steadily.

This obviously wasn't going to be a passing one.

The other party was looking for him.

"Really exposed"

James sighed in his heart:

He never expected that the other party would be a master of this level.

Just be observant.

The key is not to show any sharpness at all.

As an old agent, he was blinded and unsure. He thought that Lin Xinyi's water was shallow and made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

In the end, he was the joke.

"This gentleman."

James sighed helplessly:

Even though he knew he had been exposed, he still had to pretend to be a passerby.

After all, the FBI cannot openly admit that it is illegally following Japanese police officers.

Although the consequences of admitting it are not too serious.

It's just a verbal apology - after the apology, the other person has to bow to him in turn.

But fathers are always caught by their sons, which ultimately brings disgrace to the father's country.

If you spread the word, you will be laughed at.

The FBI will definitely have a bad opinion of their team, which has repeatedly failed, and there is no need to think about promotions and salary increases.

So with the idea of ​​saving face for the company and the future of his subordinates, Mr. James was still shameless and asked Lin Xinyi with a blank look on his face:

"Excuse me. What do you want from me?"

Lin Xinyi smiled slightly and said nothing.

There is a hint of fairy spirit invisibly.

It's quite a bit like floating out of the dust.

James was confused.

Then he heard a faint sigh:

"This old gentleman."

"I think you will suffer a bloody disaster within three days!"
