But now, one of these cash boxes appeared strangely at a murder scene in the wilderness.

"I think this case is more or less related to the organization."

"If we follow this case carefully, it may help us find a new breakthrough."

"Well...you're right, but..."

James Black hesitated:

"What about the investigation on the US side?"

"To deal with that woman, we also need your strength."

"Belmode..."

Akai Shuichi shook his head and said bluntly:

"I think we can completely abandon the investigation in the United States and shift our focus to this new clue."

"After all, that woman has been gone for too long."

The FBI had actually seen through Belmode's vest by accident.

They knew that the "deceased" Sharon Wynyard and Chris Wynyard were actually the same person, and they carefully launched a secret surveillance investigation on "Chris Wynyard".

It all went very smoothly.

But what people didn't expect is...

The net had just begun, and "Chris Wynyard" disappeared without warning.

And it hasn't been seen since.

"She must have spotted our movements."

"So I simply gave up the identity of 'Chris Wynyard', completely changed my appearance, and hid somewhere else."

"It's time for us to admit our failure."

Akai Shuichi sighed softly:

The exposure of his undercover identity in the past two years has implicated many FBI colleagues in the organization.

And this year I don't know what to do...

Gin Jiu may have been stimulated by something, suddenly became paranoid for a certain period of time, and began to frantically wipe out internal spies.

Such a big cleanup really allowed him to sweep out several undercover agents.

So the FBI didn't figure out what happened inside the organization, and the undercover agents they arranged outside the organization were inexplicably wiped out by Gin.

"Speaking of..."

"The time when Gin went on a frenzy to root out the mob was around the time 'Chris Wynyard' disappeared from our view."

Akai Shuichi analyzed with a serious expression:

"I think the organization must have known by then that we had a breakthrough with 'Chris Wynyard.'"

"That's why they were so eager to evacuate Belmode, and then vigorously cleaned up the interior to prevent us from tracing it."

From the perspective of the FBI, this is roughly the case.

In the past two years, the eyeliner they have placed inside and outside the organization has been removed one after another.

Now that Belmode "runs away" like this, he completely cut off their only clue to track down the organization.

The FBI now knows next to nothing about the organization.

I don't know how to proceed next.

It is said that the CIA seems to have some "hands on" with the organization.

But this is hard to verify, even if it is verified, the CIA will not openly share information with the FBI——

These two departments seem to be brother units born from the same father.

Theoretically, brothers and sisters should respect each other, one for outsiders and the other for insiders. They don't interfere with each other at ordinary times, and they help each other when they have problems.

But in fact, it was a dog biting a dog.

The CIA, which is outside the country, often intervenes in domestic affairs, and the FBI, which is inside the country, often extends its hand to the international stage.

On both sides, there is a spirit of "I will solve cases that cannot be solved by the East Factory, and the West Factory will solve them", competing with each other, interfering with each other, and even plotting secretly.

There have even been absurd scenes in history where the FBI and the CIA placed undercover agents and stole each other's intelligence.

Not to mention…

What is rice fried rice fighting for?

In the past it was for oil, but now it is for the research results of elixir.

Whether the research results of the old medicine ultimately fall into the hands of the FBI or the CIA, the effect is completely different.

At least, for the respective controllers of the FBI and CIA, the effect is quite different.

The Elixir project is a huge cake, and everyone wants to keep this cake in their own hands.

Although we all have the same enemy of organization.

But the final spoils agreement is unclear, and the interests of all parties are not consistent, so how can they cooperate sincerely with each other?

and so…

If you want to count on the help of the brother unit of CIA, then you can only rely on thinking.

Rely on the FBI itself... The way in the past seems to be dead again.

"James, it's time to drop the 'Chris Wynyard' line."

"Come to Japan with me."

"I have a hunch that Japan will be our next breakthrough."

Akai Hideichi not only wanted to go to Japan himself, but also wanted to persuade his superiors and colleagues to go together.

This matter is related to the direction of the FBI's investigation of the organization.

As the leader of this investigation team, James Black must be careful when making choices.

He was not moved by Akai Hideyoshi's words, but questioned very cautiously:

"You judge that the next breakthrough will be in Japan."

"Just because of the Gunma County case?"

"Isn't it a little convincing to make such a major decision-making judgment just because of an airlift cash box and an unidentified corpse?"

The implication of James Black's words is that he is worried that the ace agent will be emotional because of Akemi Miyano.

But Akai Shuichi was very calm:

"No, of course not only because of this case."

"In fact, before knowing today's news, I have carefully considered the decision to shift the focus of the investigation from the United States to Japan."

"because…"

Akai Shuichi took out another document.

This document records the "armed helicopter terrorist attack" that occurred in Tokyo, Japan.

If this happened in reality, it would certainly be a major event that shocked the world.

But because Japan in this world is prone to terrorist attacks, even amateurs such as wine tasters and architects can blow up skyscrapers when they have nothing to do.

In contrast, news of militants flying helicopters to attack Tokyo seems less eye-catching.

So the people of Tokyo quickly forgot about it.

But the FBI did not forget, and Akai Shuichi did not forget:

"There is no doubt that this attack was organized."

This conclusion requires little reasoning:

Because of the airstrikes over Tokyo...

Except for the Americans, the organization dared to be so arrogant.

"I asked my colleagues from the Japanese branch to investigate the matter in detail:"

"The target of the gunship attack was the Rice Flower Hotel in central Tokyo, and what was being held in the Rice Flower Hotel at that time was an engagement ceremony equivalent to an internal gathering of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"The most important thing is that at that time, many senior officials of the Japanese public security also attended the engagement ceremony."

"I know this."

James Black answered very naturally:

"So we have speculated before that the cause of the terrorist attack that night should be some unexpected conflict between the organization and the Japanese public security."

"That's right." Akai Hideo nodded a little: "And it was a very 'unexpected' conflict."

"Some unexpected incident must have happened at that time, which caught the organization by surprise."

He almost broke into the top of the organization before, so he naturally understands the behavior of the members of the organization.

Although these criminals have the confidence to be arrogant, they always prefer to keep a low profile.

Compared with the wild and unrestrained "Unparalleled Assassination Technique", they are often more inclined to adopt the technical flow of stealth assassination in order to kill the target silently.

Such a domineering practice of flying helicopters to carry out air strikes...

"It just reflected the 'anxiety' and 'helplessness' of the organization at that time."

Hideo Akai analyzed with confidence:

"At that time, there must have been some important person or thing in the organization, which accidentally fell into the hands of the Japanese police—and all this happened at the Mihua Hotel, and the time was so tight that it was difficult for the organization to respond."

"That's why they dispatched helicopter gunships in such a hurry to launch terrorist attacks brutally."

"Well." James Black nodded: "We have discussed these before."

"But the Japanese public security kept the matter confidential afterwards and blocked relevant information from the outside world."

"So we couldn't figure out the ins and outs of this matter at the time."
