In the early morning, Tokyo welcomed the rising sun again.
The Karasawa family residence.
Both Karasawa had gotten up early, and now Karasawa was washing up while Ayako was busy in the kitchen.
"Let me do it, you go and wash up."
After washing his face, Karasawa went to the kitchen and took the spatula from Ayako's hand and said with a smile.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Ayako hung the apron around Karasawa's neck and smiled.
"Ah, by the way, turn on the TV and let me listen to the news." Karasawa said after turning over the eggs in the pan.
"I got it." Ayako was not surprised to know that Karasawa had the habit of watching the news. After turning on the TV, she deliberately turned up the volume louder to make it easier for Karasawa to listen.
Ayako is in charge of Mihua TV, and the morning news is the same as before, with various news such as the situation of the national drama first, and then domestic news.
International news is still the same stuff, and it goes by quickly.
When Karasawa poured hot milk into the cup and prepared to serve breakfast to the table, the TV screen changed and a burning Chevrolet appeared on the TV.
"It is reported that a murder occurred on the Laiyeshan Mountain Ring Road last night. A Chevrolet was on fire, and a man in his 20s to 30s was found in the car.
The person who discovered the accident was a criminal who was driving a police car to the nearby accident scene.
According to the criminal report at the scene of the crime, they heard gunshots faintly in the distance and were about to check the situation when the explosion happened in front of them.
After inspecting the body during fire extinguishing work, it was found that the man had marks of being shot, but the right hand of the body was still intact. The identity is currently unknown. The police are investigating a murder case or Yakuza seeking revenge..."
"Such a terrible thing happened in Laiyeshan..."
Ayako on the side also came over after washing up. Looking at the smoking car on the TV, she felt a little worried: "Xianyi, this case..."
"I shouldn't be responsible." Tang Ze shook his head and said: "Since it is possible that it is revenge of the Yakuza, the Fourth Investigation Division will also cooperate with the First Investigation Division to investigate the case.
If both parties jointly investigate the case, unless the superiors appoint me as the general person in charge, the science search and research team will cooperate with the investigation."
"Really, then I'm relieved." Ayako looked at the situation at the crime scene and heard that traces of bullets were found around her, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
Obviously this case is very dangerous, so naturally I worry about whether Tang Ze will be involved in such a dangerous case.
Now that I heard him say that he would only assist and participate, I felt a lot more relieved.
In fact, even if Ayako didn't say anything, Karasawa would not take the initiative to accept the investigation. Even if his superiors hinted, he would just pretend to be stupid and not take over the case this time.
After all, as one of the parties involved, he is the one who knows the true nature of the case best, so it would be too naive to investigate on his own.
Since he knew that nothing could be found and it was just an unsolved case, Tangze didn't bother to participate in the case.
"Okay, let's eat."
Karasawa shook Ayako's shoulder: "It's not like I'm going to leave the Metropolitan Police Department. Don't think that I will be responsible for any case, and it will give rise to unnecessary worries."
"I know." Ayako agreed with a smile, and sat down to have breakfast with Karasawa.
On this sunny morning, leisurely eating breakfast with loved ones and starting the day's work is a wonderful start to the day for most people in this city.
But this definitely does not include Judy and other FBI investigators.
In other words, it has been the darkest moment for them since last night.
Shuichi Akai's fake death this time is definitely an incident that will collapse the morale of everyone in the FBI.
In the original work, Shuichi Akai insists on meeting Reina Mizuna alone when something goes wrong. This abnormality makes Judy and others feel that something is abnormal.
After all, under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible to imagine that Shui Wu Lianna pretended to be a stranger and talked to her because there were people around her who would deliberately say that.
Even if Judy and James had lost their IQs at the time, they would definitely have noticed Shu Akai's uncharacteristic response when they calmed down and reviewed the situation afterwards.
But this time, it can be said that Akai Shuichi was killed completely under their noses, and he also participated in the subsequent pursuit of Gin. All of this told them that this really happened.
Even now when thinking about what happened yesterday, everyone is still in a daze and unable to fully accept the reality in front of them.
Yesterday's incident happened too fast. After hearing the gunshots and the explosion that followed, even though they were ready and prepared on the outskirts of Raishan Mountain, they still couldn't catch up.
By the time they arrived, Akai Shuichi's Chevrolet had turned into blazing scrap metal. Especially the corpse in the car, which was obscured by the flames and could not be seen clearly, made their livers and gallbladders burst.
Especially when they saw Gin and others who should not have appeared on the mountain road, they understood that this was completely a conspiracy against Akai Shuichi.
The sadness after the pursuit was temporarily suppressed by James' words, and he began to cherish the hope of conducting a restoration investigation around the scene before they arrived last night, hoping to find clues about Akai Shuichi.
At the beginning, they still held whether Shuichi Akai was injured and fled to the place where there was a suspected friendly sniper.
This view was further strengthened when they found Cohen's sniped body.
After all, after viewing Cohen's body, the opponent's arms and legs showed signs of being shot from the back, but the fatal head wound was from the front.
Recalling that when they arrived, they saw Gin Shizuo holding a sniper rifle and shooting in the distance, he understood that the other party was not sniping at the enemy, but killing friendly forces who could not retreat.
In other words, when Akai Shuichi met with Reina Mizuno, if he had not gone alone, there would have been a sniper protecting his own safety!
After learning the news, hope ignited in their hearts, and they searched the surrounding area more and more diligently.
But what disappointed them was that until the Neon Criminal Brigade began searching the surrounding areas, they could not find any sign of Shuichi Akai and his allies.
But Judy also immediately realized who the sniper's true identity was. After all, the other party had already cooperated with them when they transferred Reina Mizuna.
Thinking of this, Judy immediately contacted Kizaru, but unfortunately what she got was the text message from Karasawa that plunged them into despair.
The text message described a scene they had not seen before, and they also understood why Shuichi Akai died under the protection of this powerful sniper.
Judy couldn't believe that it was CIA's Reina Mizunashi who finally took action, and that the other party still had to snipe.
Valley blood
But I recall that Shuichi Akai once said that the prerequisite for agreeing to cooperate with Rena Mizuno was that the interests of the CIA would not be harmed, and the second was that the other party would not rule out taking action against people from the FBI.
Thinking of this, everything that seemed unconfident seemed to become reasonable again.
But Judy felt as if she had stepped into a blizzard in the Siberian winter. Her whole body was invaded by the boundless chill from the outside to the inside. There was no trace of sunshine or hope, and there was only boundless darkness.
After seeing this text message and realizing that this bad possibility was most likely to be reality, Judy still refused to give up and wanted to contact the "Kizaru" who sent the text message.
But unfortunately, it was an additional anonymous phone card that Karasawa had prepared. After using it, Karasawa directly pulled out the phone card, so Judy could not contact Kizaru at all.
After experiencing a series of sorrows and joys, the only person who might know the details of the case could not be contacted. Judy and this suspected friendly figure began to become suspicious.
Of course, he contacted Conan last night, hoping to contact "Kizaru" through him, but since he knew that everything was going smoothly, Conan could not tell Judy the truth.
Faced with the other party's request, Conan could only refute with an embarrassed look that the cooperation between the two parties was one-sided. They were unwilling to show up and could not contact the other party.
The cunning attitude of the friendly forces seems to have cast an impenetrable layer of fog over this irreversible ending, making people think they have seen the truth but not really understand it.
And the next morning, when they also saw the Raiyama bombing reported on TV, Judy was determined to verify the identity of the body in person.
"I don't believe he's dead!"
Judy looked at the report on TV and said firmly: "It must be a stand-in made from the body of Kusuda Rikudō from the black organization!
He was not alone at the time. It is impossible for two smart people to not discuss countermeasures together, and they will definitely do so!"
"I think that's it too!" Kamel echoed in a deep voice.
"Let's go to Neon Criminal to confirm, and we'll get the answer right away!" Judy looked at James and asked.
"But even if we want to confirm the identity, the body has been burned beyond recognition by the fire. Only the right hand is intact..."
James pondered: "In this case, if you want to identify yourself, you can only compare fingerprints."
"Then we directly retrieve the fingerprints entered by Mr. Akai in the FBI database and compare them..."
Before Kamel finished speaking, James shook his head and rejected it: "If we want to compare fingerprints, we need to use the only intact right hand on the corpse.
Do we need to tell Neon Criminal that we suspect the body is that of our FBI investigator?"
"This..." Needless to say, Kamel also knew that this was impossible.
"The same is true for Akai's Chevrolet. Even if his fingerprints will definitely be saved on it to provide comparison, the current situation will definitely be confiscated by the Neon Police."
James analyzed calmly: "It's impossible for us to take back the burned-to-empty car without giving any reason.
It would be great if we could get Akai-kun’s fingerprints to compare with the fingerprints on the corpse’s right hand without making Neon’s criminal suspect that we have another purpose.”
"If it's the mobile phone Shuichi usually uses, his fingerprints will definitely be on it, and it's easy to get." After hearing James' words, Judy pondered.
"But his cell phone should also have been burned..."
Before James finished speaking, Judy suddenly took out the red mobile phone with the football pendant in her hand and showed it in front of him: "This is the mobile phone Conan lent me. I remember Shuichi touched it when he was trying to stop Conan.
His cell phone?"
What Judy was talking about was that when they were in the hospital before, Conan wanted to call Dr. Agasa to come and transport Reina Mizuno, but Shuichi Akai took away his mobile phone and refused to let the general public participate in their FBI plan.
It was at this time that Shuichi Akai came into contact with Conan's mobile phone, and his fingerprints would naturally stick to it.
"So, Conan's phone has Akai's fingerprints on it?" James nodded and said, "That's good news."
"Well, without further ado, I'll take this phone and go to the Metropolitan Police Department!" After Judy said this, she couldn't stay still and planned to go out.
"Wait, let's drive my car."
James stopped Judy: "Maybe you think I'm a bit verbose, but you must remember not to expose the information that the body may be someone related to our FBI."
"I know, don't worry, I won't be exposed." Judy said with a serious face: "I will find a way to cover it up."
Judy quickly drove to the Metropolitan Police Department to explain the situation, and was soon invited to the conference room to wait.
After a while, Karasawa and Takagi came to the conference room after receiving the news on the pretext of seeing the news.
"Teacher Judy, I didn't expect us to meet again." Tang Ze greeted with a smile after seeing Judy.
"Ah, yes, we meet again..."
After seeing Tang Ze, Judy remained calm on the outside, but secretly said something bad in her heart. At the same time, she cheered up and planned to deal with the next conversation with all her strength.
Although Judy didn't have much contact with Karasawa, most of the time it was when cases occurred.
Because of this, Judy knew how keen this man was, so she had to steady her mind to prevent any flaws from showing on her face.
"I heard from my colleagues that you have clues about the victims of the Yeshan case. Can you tell me in detail?"
After sitting opposite Judy, Karasawa directly entered the topic and asked.
"That's right. Yesterday morning, when I was driving around Yeshan with nothing to do, I felt a little hungry and went to the bus service station to eat."
Judy used her prepared words and said: "At that time, I accidentally dropped my cell phone. Fortunately, a man reminded me and helped me pick it up.
I remembered that the man also drove a dark blue Chevrolet, so after seeing the news, I wondered if it could be him.
And I also remembered the other person’s clothes and appearance, so I came over thinking that it might be helpful to you to press the button for a long time.”
"I understand." Takagi looked at the mobile phone on the handkerchief and picked it up with white gloves: "Then please give this mobile phone to us for storage for the time being."
"This..." Judy looked confused when she heard this: "Sorry, this is the mobile phone I temporarily borrowed from Conan, so I think there should be our two mobile phones on it."
"I wonder why this pendant looks so familiar."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "I understand, we will investigate immediately, and please wait patiently here for a while."
After getting the mobile phone, Karasawa and Takagi went to Kesouyan.
