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

Yes, that makes things complicated...

Shuichi Akai's complexion, already showing signs of aging and illness, was becoming increasingly unpleasant.

He was absolutely certain that Sherry was a researcher, and theoretically, she shouldn't have the ability to fight.

At the very least, they shouldn't possess the strength to fight Masuyama Shin.

However, right now Masuyama Shin is fighting someone, and judging from the sound alone...

It seems they haven't gained the upper hand yet?!

This suggests that either Zengshan was facing Mr. Lin instead of Xueliang, or...

The Shirley in front of me is not Shirley at all!

"hateful!"

Judy quickly understood this as well.

She slammed her fist on the steering wheel in anger, letting out a low, furious shout.

We've been tricked!

"Damn the Japanese Public Security Bureau!"

"not necessarily,"

James shook his head.

"The Japanese police may not even know that this person has a problem."

On the one hand, James didn't think the police could guess that this Shirley wasn't Shirley.

On the other hand, James didn't believe that the police could guess that the FBI was plotting something behind the scenes.

After all, the action against Sherry was a last-minute decision made by Masuyama Kokoro; the Public Security Bureau couldn't have known about it beforehand...

unless......

James narrowed his eyes.

Unless they have a Japanese Public Security mole within the FBI, and this mole is in their Tokyo operations team with the power to influence Masuyama's decisions...

In an instant, several names came to mind for James...

However, it's too early to say anything now; we still need to see how the battle unfolds on Zengshan's side...

For a while afterward, James and his two companions listened to the sounds of battle coming from the other side, interspersed with angry shouts, and were all terrified.

Good news: the one fighting Zengshan was indeed a woman, and they both heard her incoherent moves.

The bad news is...

It seems like Masuyama is at a disadvantage in this battle!

Damn it, this Shirley is definitely not Shirley!

The three of them reached a conclusion at the same time!

Shuichi Akai was especially certain!

Although he didn't have much contact with Sherry, he had gained a general understanding of her through his interactions with Akemi Miyano.

aloof, introverted...

It's definitely not that person—that goofy chatterbox who shouts out the names of dishes even when fighting!

boom--

A booming sound came from the other end of the headset, followed by Masuyama's angry and pained voice...

"Oops!"

James slapped his thigh.

"Lin Jiayou is here!"

"Zengshan is in danger!"

"I'll go rescue him!"

Without saying a word, Judy used her only remaining arm to open the car door and rushed out.

Although she doesn't spend much time with Masaki Shin, Judy wouldn't hesitate for a second when her colleague is in danger!

"Judy! Judy!"

James shouted repeatedly, jumping up and down in a panic.

What use would a one-armed hero like you be if Masuyama Shin, with more than a dozen FBI agents, couldn't handle the situation?

Unfortunately, Judy ran too fast, and James couldn't stop her no matter how hard he called.

He gritted his teeth, quickly checked his equipment, and decided to follow...

"Akai! You can't go!"

Just as he was about to leave, James was startled to see Shuichi Akai shakily stand up.

He quickly pressed down on Shuichi Akai, his face full of anxiety.

"Akai, your body simply can't handle it..."

"It's nothing, cough cough cough..."

Shuichi Akai shook his head, and after a fit of violent coughing, spoke his true feelings.

"I can't cough cough cough... watch you all go... cough cough cough..."

"Take me...take me to the highlands...cough cough cough..."

"Oh dear! This, this..."

James is truly caught in a dilemma.

On one hand, he wanted to go with Jodie to meet Masuyama Shin; on the other hand, he was worried about Akai Shuichi's health...

Seeing this, Shuichi Akai had no choice but to add fuel to the fire.

"You have to believe... cough cough cough... my sniping... cough cough cough..."

His face, wrinkled like withered tree bark, trembled with each cough, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

However, Shuichi Akai's eyes still revealed the unwavering determination of a former FBI ace agent...

"You, I... sigh!"

James looked into Shuichi Akai's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed deeply.

He quickly got into the driver's seat and drove towards the nearest tall building.

As Shuichi Akai said, although his physical condition is very poor, he still has the experience of a top sniper.

Most importantly, James believed that if even a young and strong expert like Zeng Shanxin and the one-armed Judy couldn't handle the situation there, then adding an old man like himself wouldn't be of much use.

It would be better to follow Shuichi Akai and let him or I fire a couple of shots to provide backup.

the other side

Inside the twin towers

"Tsk, tsk, tsk,"

Sherry was still shaking her head pitifully, babbling on and on.

"Tell me, what are you thinking? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

"By the way, didn't you say this guy couldn't get here? So who's standing in front of you now...?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Masuyama coughed incessantly, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Miyano Shiho.

At this moment, Masuyama Shin's resentment towards Miyano Shiho far surpassed that of Hayashi Keiyu, who had shot him against the wall.

This woman, this despicable woman...

I must kill her someday!

"Alright, enough with the nonsense,"

Lin Jiayou patted Miyano Shiho on the shoulder, his face expressionless and calm, and said...

"Take him back immediately. We don't need to waste time chatting with this good-for-nothing."

"Fine,"

Sherry was still somewhat unsatisfied, but she nodded nonetheless.

She was somewhat curious about how Gin would torture these FBI agents...

Lin Jiayou casually pulled down the black umbrella stuck in the wall.

As the black umbrella was pulled out, Zengshan Xin, like a boneless lump of rotten flesh, slowly slid down the wall to the ground.

"Come on,"

Looking at Masuyama's disheveled appearance, Miyano Shiho shook her hand in disdain.

"I don't want to touch this guy."

"Ah."

Lin Jiayou nodded slightly.

He casually tucked the tip of the black umbrella back into Masashi's collar, and like dragging a suitcase, slowly pulled Masashi down the stairs...
