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

the other side

After the failed operation, the FBI began a new round of escape activities.

They were very worried that they would face encirclement and suppression from multiple forces even in Tokyo.

It's not that they offended too many forces during this operation, but simply because they lost a lot of manpower.

Originally, the FBI agents in Tokyo had already suffered heavy losses in the encounter between Shuichi Akai and the organization.

Subsequently, in this operation, the team that Masuyama Shin brought from Europe was almost completely wiped out.

It can be said that the FBI's strength has once again fallen to a low point.

Each intelligence agency is actually in competition with the others. Although they may appear to belong to the same "red" side, they will ruthlessly stab each other in the back when given the chance.

To prevent the Japanese police from taking advantage of their weakness and the organization from purging them, they had to do their best to conceal their whereabouts and constantly change locations.

After more than a week in hiding, the FBI agents finally have a new base.

However, none of the FBI agents remained at the base today.

They arrived at a desolate hillside, at the foot of which stood the graves of many fallen agents.

The first one is Judy's...

At Judy's grave, Masuyama placed a bouquet of flowers, bent his knees, and slowly knelt before the grave, falling into a long silence.

Behind him, Shuichi Akai's coughs rose and fell in waves, one after another...

James Black also lowered his head, his already aged face appearing even more haggard...

A moment later...

"Zengshan, it's time to go."

James glanced at his watch, then looked up and whispered to Masashi.

Zengshan slowly stood up.

He pursed his lips and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Zeng Shanxin would never forget that day in the twin towers, when Judy, her body broken and battered, resolutely rushed towards Lin Jiayou's figure...

It was her selfless sacrifice that allowed her to survive...

Ironically, he had once looked down on them, thinking that Jodie, Shuichi Akai, and James were nothing more than a trio of old, weak, and disabled people.

The idea that they can't defeat the organization is purely a matter of their own abilities...

Ugh, I deserve to die...

"We must always remember these agents who sacrificed their lives for their country,"

James glanced around at the remaining FBI agents and spoke in a heavy voice,

"We must carry on their spirit of selflessness and continue to fight against these criminal organizations!"

"So that they can see from heaven that their sacrifice was worthwhile!"

After saying that, James looked at Masuyama Shin and Akai Shuichi.

He wasn't too worried about the other agents.

Although those who died were colleagues, while everyone was grieving, it might not have a significant impact on the overall situation.

However, Masuyama Kokoro is different from Akai Shuichi.

Masuyama witnessed Jodie's death before his eyes. Shuichi Akai and Jodie were close, and Jodie's death undoubtedly had a greater impact on them...

Furthermore, although Shuichi Akai has lost his physical skills, his mind can still work, and he remains a force to be reckoned with.

Masuyama was also the most crucial figure in their infiltration of the FBI in Japan.

Even without James Black, they cannot be without him...

After watching the other agents gradually board the vehicles and return to base, James finally spoke slowly to the two of them.

"Zuyama, Akai."

"I know this has been a huge blow to you, but I hope..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Akai Shuichi kept coughing.

He can hardly utter a complete sentence anymore...

However, his gentle shaking of his head still fully expressed his thoughts—

Don't worry about me, I understand.

Having partnered with him for many years, James naturally understood Shuichi Akai's meaning, and nodded slightly in agreement.

He turned his gaze to Zengshan Xin.

“Zengshan..…”

"James, the mistake this time was mine."

Zeng Shanxin's voice was filled with grief, her eyes red as she spoke.

"Judy is paying the price for my actions."

"Zengshan, don't think like that,"

Seeing that Masashi seemed to be in a bad mood, James quickly comforted him.

"When you proposed the plan, although we all had some doubts, we didn't fully organize it, which shows that we also hoped the plan would succeed. It's not entirely your fault..."

"No need to say anything, James,"

Zeng Shan's tone was heavy. He clenched his fist, and faint traces of blood seeped from between his fingers.

"The mistake was mine, and I will admit it. I cannot run away from it, much less back down!"

“Those of us in this line of work must have this kind of awareness.”

"Rest assured, I will carry their gaze from heaven and continue forward until the organization is wiped out."

"If you think so, I feel relieved."

James was greatly pleased and patted Zeng Shanxin on the shoulder.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke with a slight hesitation.

“Akai, Masuyama, we may not receive any support for the foreseeable future.”

James had expected that Shuichi Akai and Shin Masuyama would both show some surprise upon hearing this.

However, to his surprise, the two of them remained calm.

Shuichi Akai was still coughing, but he simply nodded.

Zeng Shanxin spoke calmly,

"It was to be expected."

"We have caused such great losses twice in a row, so it is understandable that headquarters will not send us any more people."

"It's not as simple as just not sending anyone,"

Seeing that Zeng Shanxin and the other person seemed to be in relatively stable condition, James continued,

"Headquarters told us to reflect on our actions."

"Perhaps I exaggerated the organization's strength too much when I reported it."

"Headquarters told us that regarding our failure to take down the organization twice, we should look for our own problems and stop blaming the organization. They said the organization has always been like this for years..."
