Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 619 Pickup Meeting
Kuroba Kaito narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Shinide Tomoaki's face.

The sense of disobedience was fleeting, and the indescribable sense of strangeness disappeared immediately.

Shinide Tomoaki looked at Kaito Kuroba who was staring at his face, and asked suspiciously, "Kuroba-san, is there something on my face?"

Kaito Kuroba shook his head with a slightly dull expression, "No, no."

When the bus arrived at Mihua Park, which is the starting point of Shinide Chiaki today, Shinde Chiaki got off first.

"Everyone, bye."

Watching Shinde Chiaki get off the bus, the bus traveled another stop, and Judy also got off.

"Bye bye!"

Judy greeted her energetically, and Qin Zhibo looked at the back of the woman, then called out the scope of the binoculars, and looked at a Ford pickup parked on the street not far away.

She and that man named Akai Shuichi were indeed in the same group.

Because behind the half-open window of that pickup truck was Akai Shuichi.

……

After Judy got out of the car, she scanned the surroundings habitually, found the familiar pickup, and skillfully opened the door to get in the car.

It's just that she is not sitting in the co-pilot, but in the back seat.

As for the reason, there was already someone on the co-pilot.

"I was late and had a chat with those guys in the car and the goal"

Sitting in the co-pilot was a man with a British sheriff's beard. His hair was as silver-gray as his beard, and the traces of time were reflected in his slightly sagging skin.

He turned his head slightly, "How is it? Have you found any valuable information?"

"It doesn't seem to be." Judy shook her head first, "But the target may have been an appointment to meet someone, because when the robber took away the phone, she turned off the phone first."

"It's probably because I don't want someone to call her because I can't wait." Akai Shuichi, who was sitting in the front driver's seat, added.

Judy nodded calmly.

At this time, Akai Shuichi stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, pressed his hands on the steering wheel, and said calmly: "Actually, I met an old acquaintance in the car today, James, you should know him too."

"Oh?" The middle-aged and elderly man named James turned his head to look at Akai Shuichi, "Who is it?"

"Vince Qin."

James' eyes widened slightly, and there was some disbelief in his eyes, "Really? Are you sure it's him?"

"It's him."

"His name is Qin Zhibo now, and he seems to be a private detective."

Akai Shuichi took out another cigarette from his pocket with both hands that had just settled down, lit it silently, and continued: "But he doesn't seem to recognize me."

James' unbelievable expression gradually calmed down, and he said in an emotional tone: "I really didn't expect him to go to Japan after losing news for so many years after leaving the company."

"It's really a trick of good fortune."

Judy, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the two riddlers, and finally couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart. She poked her head forward and asked, "Who is that Qin Zhibo you are talking about?"

James didn't play charades, but turned his head to look at Judy.

"He's also an FBI, and we used to work together."

Hearing this, Judy immediately widened her eyes in surprise, and Qin Zhibo's face appeared in her head. Except for the handsome mixed race, she couldn't feel the temperament of FBI at all.

"He is the fbi who know him, why don't I know him?" Judy asked again.

James replied solemnly: "This is because he left five years ago, just before you joined the fbi."

Judy is 28 years old now. Due to her excellent grades in graduation and her father's relationship, she is already very good at joining the FBI at the age of 23.

At that time, Judy, who had just joined the FBI, was assigned by James to work under Akai Shuichi, and the two had a spark of love at work.

It's just that this "little spark" was wiped out after Akai Shuichi left to perform a top-secret undercover mission.

Although Judy occasionally still thinks if there is no undercover mission.
But in general, what James meant was that Judy's qualifications in the FBI are still relatively young, and it's normal not to know "Vince Qin".

At this time, James went on to say: "Vince Chin is a very good FBI investigator, quick thinking, especially outstanding marksmanship, just like you."

With that said, James looked at Akai Shuichi.

Akai Hideichi took a puff of his cigarette and was noncommittal to this statement.

"Actually, I knew him a long time ago. He was an old friend of my father's."

When Akai Hideichi said this, even James was taken aback.

"I see. No wonder he often took care of you when you first joined the FBI. I thought it was because he was interested in your Japanese identity."

The dialogue between the two revealed more information, but these information made Judy even more curious about the character "Vince Qin".

Who is a person who can even take care of Akai Shuichi?

But judging from today's incident, this person is really extraordinary, he was able to subdue the three robbers in the car without himself and Xiuyi taking action, although he relied on other people.

The high school student who can do magic tricks, the Cool kid in the back seat, and Mao Lilan who can do karate.
"It's just that I don't know why he came to Japan now? Even if he wants to start a detective agency, the United States is a more suitable land for him, right?"

It is normal for James to have doubts in his heart. After all, it is more convenient for detectives to have an official background, and the background of the FBI is not bad.

Are there any relatives here in Japan?
Or do you have a special feeling for Japan?

As the former boss, James knew that Vince Qin was also of Japanese descent, just like Hideichi Akai.

Letting go of the personal thoughts of this former colleague for now, since they are going to start an operation against the organization here in Japan, it is inevitable that they will not encounter this acquaintance.

This time he didn't recognize Akai Shuichi, it was a bit strange, but maybe in the future.

so.
"If we meet next time, how should we treat him?"

"Should I tell him we're on vacation, or tell him our mission and ask for assistance?"

James looked to Shuichi Akai next to him, apparently asking for advice.

Akai Hideichi was silent for a moment, and a few Chinese characters popped out sound by sound.

"Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"

James: "?"

Judy: "?"

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly, and explained: "This is a Chinese allusion, referring to."

Before he finished speaking, Akai Shuichi gave up explaining Eastern culture to the two Westerners who were full of question marks, and said directly: "Considering his performance on the bus today, maybe he still has the ability to help us."

"However, I think we should follow his own thoughts first. The organization is not an ordinary task. Is it reasonable to involve a resigned FBI agent?"

"Besides, I don't think we are so embarrassed that we need to rely on external forces."

James thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Let's do this first, Judy, you leave first."

The pickup meeting is over, and Judy opens the door just in time to leave.

Shuichi Akai in the front seat watched Judy get out of the car in the rearview mirror, and suddenly stared.

"Wait a moment!"

"What's on the back of your shoulder?"

James hurriedly looked back, only to see a small yellow circle sticking to Judy's clothes.

　Thanks for the 1500 tip from Yaohen!
