Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes
Chapter 317: The Tainted Hero
"Sorry, I'm a step late."
Zhu Fu Jingguang stood in the shadow of a building. He avoided all the surveillance cameras around him and listened carefully to the words coming from the other end of the communication headset.
The voice of Akai Shuichi on the other side was as calm as ever. At the same time, his junior Jiang Teng Da Zang was standing not far away, communicating with the special police team responsible for the arrest.
The operation over there seemed to be going smoothly. The younger generation showed a happy expression and turned to tell him about the situation over there.
"Senior, the person up there is Yoshino!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded, and soon he received the news that Waltz was not dead and there was a high probability that he could be saved as long as he was sent to the hospital quickly. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough it was him.
……
At the meeting on Saturday.
"Hunter himself doesn't understand Japanese and has never been to Japan before. If he acts here, he might ask these three people for help..."
The blonde female agent had a serious expression as she revealed the identities of the three people one by one. They were Hunter's former instructor, the friend who saved his life, and the commander on the battlefield at that time.
When she mentioned the last person, she also looked at Aoyagi Akimichi. Zhu Fushigami knew the meaning of her eyes, but at this time he had a more important question to ask.
"Excuse me, Agent Stellin, can you please let me see Hunter's inspection report?" He looked at the paper on the whiteboard and raised his hand to signal.
Judy took the report without hesitation and handed it to the left side of the long table. The information was passed several times and soon reached Zhu Fu Jingguang's hands.
Matsuda Jinluo, who was standing next to him, took a curious glance at it, saw the professional English terms on it, and then silently looked away.
Zhu Fu Jingguang picked up the report and flipped through a few pages. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed. The others didn't say anything, they just stared at him.
He suddenly asked, "Didn't you do an MRI?"
Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the commonly used examination methods in modern times. Judy shook her head and said, "No, we also asked his attending physician at the time. He said that the operation was not completely successful and there were bullet fragments left in the brain."
Since there is metal in the body, such an examination is naturally not possible. Zhu Fu Jingguang asked again: "Where exactly are the fragments left?"
The human body is very complex. Sometimes a small accident can cost a person's life. But sometimes, even if a person is on the verge of death after a catastrophic disaster, he or she may escape from the clutches of death and then slowly recover as a strong person.
"I don't know." Akai Shuichi replied, "The operation was performed in a temporary hospital on the battlefield. The operation records are all kept by the military. Even if we are the FBI, we can't find out immediately."
The United States has a system of separation of powers, with various departments having overlapping powers. Often, even their own citizens cannot figure it out. Zhu Fujingguang asked, "This case is so serious, and you are unable to review it?"
"You misunderstood." This time it was Aoyagi Hikari who spoke up. "The hospital was not well managed at the time, and some of the injured's information was entered incorrectly. The wrong files have been saved until now, and it will take time to sort them out."
Zhu Fujingguang thought about the efficiency of his own organization at times, and suddenly felt empathy: "How long will it take?"
"Based on their efficiency, a detailed report will be sent back tomorrow...evening." Judy gave a more accurate time.
Their conversation was extremely smooth, and Takagi Shigeru listened to it all the way through in a daze. It was only at this point that he found an opportunity to interrupt them: "Sorry, um... Officer Morobushi, why are you asking this?"
Zhu Fujingguang looked at the ordinary criminal policeman whose eavesdropping device he had removed, and explained in a kind tone: "He is a sniper. If he has been shot in the head, it may affect his accuracy."
He has a say in the sniper's physical condition.
Shuichi Akai, who also had a say, confirmed and added: "So Hunter is only the first suspect based on the motive. He may not have the ability to commit the crime."
"This means..." Megure Jusan also realized it.
"He may be an unlucky scapegoat, and in a few days, we will find his body after committing suicide," said Aoyagi. "It is also possible that he is the criminal, but he has an accomplice who assisted him."
……
Time goes back to yesterday.
"What did you find out at the hospital?"
It was raining heavily outside the window, and the lights were turned on early in the room. The group gathered around the table again to summarize and discuss the various news they had received today.
Listening to Akai Shuichi's question, Aoyagi Akimitsu, whose hair was not yet dry, answered: "Conan said that he was on the Suzuki Tower that day and saw Hunter on the observation deck."
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows: "Is he sure? In the eyes of many people, foreigners look similar."
"That kid is very smart." Megure Jusan's words were as sure as to what he said. "And he also said that he felt Hunter seemed to glare at them. At that time, he and Xiaolan were standing not far from the Waltz couple and Fujinami Hiroaki."
His tone was not very sure when he said the following words. After all, no matter how smart Edogawa Conan was, he was just a child. You can listen to the testimony of a child, but you cannot believe it 100%.
Miwako Sato frowned and thought, and at this moment, she glanced at the expression of Takagi Wataru beside her.
"What's wrong with you?" She looked at his thoughtful expression and wrinkled collar and asked in a low voice, "Did the person who was interrogating you today do anything to you?"
Gao Mushi came back to his senses and said quickly: "No, no, Mr. Yoshino was just a little emotional, it's not a matter of violence. It's just..."
As if recalling something, his brows gradually furrowed: "...It's just that I think his attitude towards Hunter is a bit...strange."
After he finished speaking, he looked up and found that the people around him and across from him were all looking at him. His body trembled and his expression became stiff. “This is all my personal feeling. Don’t take it too seriously. It would be bad if it delays the investigation.”
"Officer Takagi, you are a criminal police officer, so you may subconsciously pay attention to some details that others don't notice - what exactly is strange?" asked Aoyagi Akimitsu.
Takagi looked at the frivolous but polite FBI agent and said, "I feel like Mr. Yoshino seems to respect Hunter very much."
He scratched his head and began to describe the feeling as best he could.
"It's the respect that the younger generation has for the older generation. They will take the initiative to learn from each other's every move... When I first joined the company and was guided by my seniors to familiarize myself with the work, I was similar to him, but he was more obvious than me."
"You mean that senior Date." Sato Miwako recalled the situation at that time, "He is indeed a very reliable and respectable person. It's a pity that he was transferred out of town last year, otherwise he would definitely attend today's meeting." Matsuda Jinpei coughed for an inexplicable reason.
"Matsuda, are you cold?" Sato Miwako turned her head and asked in confusion.
"fine."
In response to the difference in address, Matsuda Jinpei coughed again and continued the previous topic. He looked at Otto who was traveling with Takagi Wataru: "What do you think?"
Otto shook his head slowly. "I think they are similarly suspected. Hunter has coached many people in the past, and those people really respected him and regarded him as a hero... But when he was reported by Waltz, not many people stood up to speak for him."
He looked down at the dog tag on his wrist and added in a low voice: "...That's how I am."
The entire conference room fell silent for a moment.
Judy sighed silently. She thought about the contact she would make after returning and brought the topic back to the topic.
"In addition to Hunter's surgical report, the FBI headquarters is also investigating the specific travel records of him and related personnel in the past few years, and the results will be out soon."
Matsuda Jinpei recalled what she said yesterday: "Soon? Can it be out tonight?"
Judy's expression froze, and she laughed dryly: "Hunter lived in the countryside at the time, and there were not many surveillance cameras around. It would be a bit troublesome to investigate, but they will deal with it as soon as possible..."
Then, it was “as soon as possible” until this morning.
……
"It's this Yoshino, what Takagi said back then was correct..."
Amid the conversations of his juniors, Zhu Fujingguang looked up and used a telescope to roughly estimate the distance between the two sides.
In order to make it easier to waltz from the window, the criminal chose a building a hundred yards away; and in order to stop him, Shuichi Akai chose another tall building from which he could snipe in reverse, which increased the distance by at least seven times.
Being able to accurately shoot through the opponent's sniper scope at such a long distance, Lei... Akai's sniping ability is still so powerful.
If it was Fūya Reizai, who has always disliked the other party, he might have mocked him for being late and letting the other party succeed, but the person here now is Morifushi Kagemitsu, who is also a sniper, and he only has admiration in his heart.
"They are so unlucky. They want to train the younger generation and go to the remote wilderness, but in the end, they are remembered by the occasional car owners passing by on the road..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang had just put down the telescope when he heard Jiang Teng Dazang's chattering and sighed in his heart.
Last night, Hunter's surgical report came in, which recorded that the location of the bullet fragments was compressing the nerves. He could not pick up a gun again, nor could he do delicate work like making bombs.
Late at night, they received another call from a passerby who said he heard gunshots when he was returning home from overtime work. When they rushed to the neighborhood, they saw a decadent drunkard crawling out of a house, where they found Hunter's body, which had been sniped.
And this morning, the FBI also sent back other intelligence, one of which was crucial - a road trip enthusiast saw the news, the wanted poster and the reward, and he remembered that he had seen Hunter with a short-haired Asian man on a trip, so he immediately called the police.
Modern times are different from decades ago. With the advancement of criminal investigation technology and other technologies, it is becoming increasingly difficult for criminals to get away with it.
Passing by a store with surveillance, using a credit card in a remote area, and passing by an inconspicuous passerby may all leave clues.
If it was an ordinary minor case, the criminal might have escaped by chance because he was too lazy to investigate the case in detail. However, this time the criminal committed a heinous crime.
First the embassy was bombed, and then so many people were killed, which attracted the attention of at least two countries. Faced with one of the country's largest violent agencies starting to operate at full capacity, no matter how powerful a single criminal was, he was powerless to resist.
"But why did Yoshino do this? If he really wanted to help Hunter get revenge, he could just kill those enemies. Why did he attack the embassy and kidnap and kill those criminal soldiers? In the end, he even killed Hunter."
Zhu Fu Jingguang came back to his senses and heard the doubts of his junior: "Once he enters the interrogation room, we can naturally find out."
"I know, but this kind of prisoner..."
Before Jiang Teng Da Zang finished speaking, he heard a few irritated exclamations from the other end of the headset.
"what happened?"
He asked hurriedly, and Zhu Fu Jingguang also looked over.
"——Reporters are coming! From more than one media outlet!" came the other side's irritable voice.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned.
How come the reporters arrived so quickly?
……
"Clap."
The familiar sound of chess pieces falling was heard in an office.
There is blue sky and white clouds outside the window. Looking towards the port, you can see a cross-sea bridge in the distance.
Former commander and current adviser Mark Spencer looked at the chessboard, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He saw black and white pieces interlaced on the board, with black having the upper hand.
He held a white piece in his hand, and wanted to put it down several times, but hesitated to take it back.
Anyway, it’s not a formal game, so he doesn’t care, and neither does the person playing against him.
Opposite him, Aoyagi Binguang was leaning on the sofa. He rarely tied his hair up, and his long hair was scattered on his shoulders. He picked up a cup of black tea with two portions of milk, took a sip, and casually turned a page of the album in his arms.
"Hunter and his men's revenge..." Mark Spencer began.
Aoyagi Binguang interrupted him.
"Who told you he wanted revenge?" (End of this chapter)
