Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

half an hour later

Training Ground No. 1 of the organization

"What! They got away?!"

Vodka scratched his head in surprise when he heard the news from Gin.

Gin snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

"Two losers."

"After all, it's a silver bullet."

Lin Jiayou sat in the chair and spoke calmly.

Compared to Gin and Vodka's excitement, he didn't react much.

It doesn't matter, Shuichi Akai won't live much longer even if he runs away.

"Alright, alright, Gin, don't be angry,"

Seeing this, Tequila quickly pleaded for the sniper duo, speaking to them in a gentle and persuasive manner.

"You know Shuichi Akai's abilities, and besides, there are other FBI agents involved. Chianti and the others did their best as well."

"Humph!"

Gin didn't appreciate tequila's offer at all, and said irritably,

"Shuichi Akai is seriously injured, and Chianti and his men can't take him down."

"It seems we've been living a very comfortable life for too long!"

Lin Jiayou nodded to himself.

Although Gin was angry, he still managed to retain his rationality.

He simply criticized the sniper duo; he didn't fire on Tequila.

only.......

Lin Jiayou glanced at Gin. "The only one here who hasn't done anything, isn't that you, Master Gin..."

"never mind,"

Lin Jiayou also spoke without expression.

"At least Chianti and his crew killed a few agents."

"Besides, Shuichi Akai won't live much longer either."

"Ok?"

Gin glanced at Lin Jiayou and narrowed his eyes.

Does this guy have some kind of explanation for saying that?

Lin Chia-yu did not answer.

He extended his right hand, from which a faint breath seemed to flow.

Kyogoku Makoto only used 60% of his inner strength, but this time, he used 100% against Akai Shuichi.

Did they really think they could catch that attack so easily?

One practice can cause seven injuries, and all seven will be injured.

With both Yin and Yang energies damaged, and all five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) depleted, Shuichi Akai's current state of being alive is hardly better than being dead...

..............................

The situation is indeed as Lin Chia-yu described.

The FBI suffered heavy losses in this sudden attack by the organization.

All the FBI agents who came to provide support were killed, including Andrew Carmel, who drove Shuichi Akai and Jodie away.

To cover Shuichi Akai's retreat, he used his broad body to help Shuichi Akai and Jodie, twice shielding them from deadly bullets from Chianti and Cohen, and died on the spot.

Of all the FBI agents who encountered the organization, only Jodie and Shuichi Akai survived.

However, the situation for both of them is far from optimistic.

After escaping back to their base, James Black, the top official in charge of the FBI's operation in Japan, immediately arranged for the two men to secretly enter a hospital for medical treatment.

After the examination, James was so distressed that he almost fainted.

Judy's injuries were relatively minor; she only suffered some simple injuries and lost an arm, but it wasn't a big problem.

It means she might need to relearn marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat in the future.

But Shuichi Akai...

James sighed.

At this moment, Shuichi Akai lay quietly on the hospital bed, completely unaware of anything.

His face was ashen, like gold leaf, and his expression was like that of a withered old tree; he seemed to have aged more than ten years in a single day.

James doesn't know why he became like this.

The hospital's equipment only detected that Shuichi Akai had suffered very serious internal injuries.

The report showed that his five internal organs—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—were all damaged to varying degrees, which was not only very serious but also extremely difficult to cure.

Even with the hospital using its most precious medical resources, it seemed to have little effect on him.

James couldn't bear to see this ace agent in his current state, thinking of his past glory.

Even after Judy woke up, he made excuses to keep her occupied, unwilling to let her see her beloved in her current state...

Seven days later...

Shuichi Akai then gradually regained consciousness.

Hearing what James said, and looking at his current appearance, he was filled with disbelief.

That guy actually injured himself to such an extent...

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough..."

As he thought about it, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but cough violently.

James quickly patted him on the back.

"Akai, what are you doing now...?"

"James,"

Shuichi Akai closed his eyes briefly, then opened them, his eyes filled with pain.

"I might... never be able to lift a gun again..."

"Ugh--"

Seeing that Shuichi Akai seemed to have lost his spirit, and recalling Jodie's missing arm, James let out another helpless sigh and shook his head.

"Akai, you should get some rest."

Shuichi Akai did not respond.

He couldn't help but clench his fists again, sensing his condition; his body trembled slightly.

"James"

"No, don't go to that person..."

"Um......"
