Corpse collector in Conan

"But this is a good opportunity."

Akai Shuichi took a deep breath and stopped worrying about the missing gun for the time being. He took James' phone and said to Judy, who was stunned on the other side: "Are you still in the Metropolitan Police Department? I have an important matter for you."

Judy came back to her senses, and while she was glad that she didn't bring a gun today, she asked with lingering fear: "What?"

Akai Shuichi looked down at the things in his hand: "Take this postcard to the Metropolitan Police Department and say that you picked it up on the bus. Then identify Kobayashi Seiji's painting style and ask the police to ask him about the purpose and reason for drawing this picture."

Just now, there was a horrific bus hijacking and explosion, and then it was discovered that someone had drawn the scene in advance - even if this could not be used as evidence of the crime, it was enough to attract the attention of the police and let the police investigate it.

They, the FBI, have no formal approval, and their investigations in Tokyo are always limited. In this case, they might as well borrow the power of the local snakes and use the hands of the police to cause some trouble to the other party.

Moreover, Shuichi Akai had been in the organization for quite a while, and he knew how much those people living in darkness feared the police. If the painter or his colleagues around him were confused by the police investigation, perhaps the FBI could take advantage of the situation and find some flaws.

Shuichi Akai: "..." Although with Uzo's way of doing things, he might be a rare outlier who is not afraid of the police... but if his subordinates are really suspected by the police and taken to the police station, they will definitely face pressure from the organization.

Borrowing strength to fight strength, this method is not only used by Uzo.

James nodded repeatedly to this plan, but at the same time, he thought of one thing tiredly: "But in this case, wouldn't our focus of investigation be deviated back to 'that person'?"

When he first came to Tokyo, he felt that it was a very challenging job to follow Vermouth and fight wits and courage with this "thousand-faced witch".

But now, with the comparison, James felt comfortable all over when he saw the fake face of "Dr. Shinde" again, and felt relaxed and happy as if he was off work.

However, now, Shuichi Akai has once again set his sights on Uzo...

"No, how can I have this mentality!" James was shocked and secretly warned himself, "When encountering difficulties, you must face them head-on and not escape. I have been an FBI for so many years, and the criminals I have seen can fill a lecture hall - although Uzo is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but, but..."

Just thinking about it, Shuichi Akai looked at him: "The plan remains unchanged. Today I just asked Judy to help me with a small favor. After that, I will still keep an eye on Uzo, and you will continue to be responsible for Belmode."

"This... Is this too hard for you?" James sighed and patted Shuichi Akai on the shoulder, "But those who are capable should do more work. I really won't be too tired if someone else comes. Don't worry, I'll leave this to you!"

"I'll continue to lead people to keep a close eye on Vermouth. This time, their reaction was so intense, perhaps because our strategy of 'shifting the focus of surveillance back to Vermouth' has worked. As long as we keep going like this, the destruction of that organization is just around the corner."

"Also, your gun..."

James looked at the empty pile of dead leaves on the ground, thinking of this worrying thing, and sighed: "Alas, I hope that gun will not be used to commit a crime, although your new gun has not been found by the police and has not yet been registered. But if it is used to commit a crime, with the last precedent, the police may suspect us based on the model of the gun."

They came to Tokyo in a hurry this time, without any official procedures. Last time, Shuichi was arrested with a gun. If it weren't for the urgent negotiations above, this FBI ace might have been packed and sent back to the United States.

And if Shuichi is not there, only they are left...

Thinking about the situation at that time, James's already gray hair seemed to be a little whiter.

Shuichi Akai heard his boss's worry. He put the postcard back into the iron box and said in a slightly cold voice: "Don't worry, this won't happen again for the third time."

...

After failing to find the gun and accidentally getting a new clue, the FBI didn't stay here for long.

They took the tools and the iron box they had just found, returned to the car, and quickly left the scene.

The uninvited guests left, and the grove became quiet again.

But soon, with a "click" sound of dead leaves being trampled, a shadow slowly emerged from the hiding place.

——A dark cloud snow cat quietly poked its head out from behind the tree.

It stretched its neck to look around, and at the same time pricked up its ears to listen carefully. After confirming that there was no one around, the black cat came out from the leaves, shook its head vigorously, and shook off the dead branches and rotten leaves on its body.

During the action, it can be seen that the cat is heavy, which does not match its body shape. When the sun shines, a cold light seems to flash faintly under its belly.

"..." The dark cloud snow cat looked down, stretched out its claws and pressed its furry belly, carefully hiding the things that should not be exposed.

Then it dragged its heavy steps, happily jumped to the side, and pounced, gathering a handful of fresh colorless murderous aura.

The dry food cat rubbed against it, then used its claws to roll up the murderous aura, held it in its mouth, and ran away with its claws.

The grove became silent again, and the breeze blew, and a dead leaf with a cat's claw printed on it gently floated away.

...

When the dry food cat was busy working.

On the other side of Tokyo, FBI Agent Judy was also working overtime.

Judy had been in and out of the Metropolitan Police Department a while ago, so she was already familiar with it. In addition, at this time, the passengers had already finished taking notes, and the search section was much emptier than before.

So she left and came back at this time. As soon as she appeared, a police officer noticed her and came over.

"Teacher Judy?" Officer Takagi looked at the foreign teacher from Jiangxia curiously, "Do you have anything else?"

——In my impression, this foreign teacher is different from Jiang Xia. She doesn’t seem to like hanging out in the warning hall and always comes and goes in a hurry. But why are you coming back now?

"That's right." Judy took a deep breath and showed a serious expression. She took out the scary postcard and lowered her voice mysteriously, "I suspect there is a hidden agenda behind this bus bombing!"

Officer Takagi thought of the female foreign teacher's strong physique and was shocked: "!"

…

Not long after, while Judy was waiting half nervously and half expectantly, a middle-aged man with a sinister aura stepped into the Metropolitan Police Department holding a heavy sketch book.

Judy looked at him, then at her watch, and a question mark slowly appeared on her forehead: "?"

...Xingji Kobayashi is really here?

...and there was no quibble or delay. It was as if...he was not afraid of this trip to the Metropolitan Police Department at all.
