Chapter 1776 Vodka is not important

With a bottle of vodka as a bargaining chip, he got a promise from Belmode. As for whether this promise would be useful and when it would be used...

Gao Yuan didn't have too many thoughts at this time. After all, for the moment, he couldn't think of anything that he had to ask Vermouth to do.

After all, she could never accept being asked to betray her boss.

On the contrary, if she was younger, she might have revealed information, such as the secret between her and Jundu. Even if I knew this kind of thing now, it didn't seem to have much impact on me in the future. After all, the threat of Vermouth herself could be temporarily relieved because of this bet.

Therefore, it is a better approach to keep this promise until you think of something better that Vermouth needs to do. After all, in the future...

Some things that may happen may not develop as you know from the original plot.

As for the price he paid, that is, the whereabouts of the vodka...

This is nothing, after all, to be honest -

Vodka is not important.

Whether for himself or the FBI, a bottle of vodka is insignificant and is not enough to affect the current situation. Unless the person actually captured is an important cadre of the organization like Gin or Rum, it will be valuable enough. If they can be captured, they must find a way to keep it in their hands.

Therefore, Gao Yuan had never thought of digging out anything from Vodka from the beginning. Instead, he used him as a bargaining chip to contact Vermouth and the FBI.

For Vermouth, facing such a situation from her standpoint, the vodka issue must be dealt with, otherwise if left unchecked it might become a breakthrough for the FBI in the organization.

As for the FBI, it was almost effortless to capture a member of the organization with a code name for a drink. They wanted to refuse to go home and try it. As for the follow-up, they also knew that the value of vodka was not enough for them to pay too high a price. If the organization mobilized people to stop them in time, they would surely make the choice they wanted.

  So, while Gao Yuan was thinking this, he had already gotten off the ghost ship and left the scene. He sat alone in a rented car, looking at the content displayed on a mobile phone in his hand:

"who are you?"

……

"who are you?"

On the other side, Akai Shuichi received a message from the agent deployed on the ghost ship -

As expected, organization member Vodka showed up there and successfully arrested him, and he is now on the way back.

According to the news reported back, the whole process went very smoothly, from discovering Vodka's traces to arresting him, there were no accidents in the middle, because someone subdued Vodka from the very beginning.

However, the only problem was that the "headless knight" who initially subdued Vodka, after investigation, found that none of the agents present at the time were dressed like that.

Afterwards, no one who stayed on the ship to investigate saw the "Headless Horseman" again.

So, after receiving such a response, Akai Shuichi couldn't help but think for a moment -

From discovering the traces to subduing them is basically what happened from the very beginning.

In other words, the "Headless Horseman" who was not part of this operation actually knew from the very beginning which one of the people present at the time was Vodka...

"Ha, interesting!"

Thinking of this, Akai Shuichi couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, feeling the subtlety of this matter. After all, from his own perspective, this is what happened -

During the day today, Judy tracked down Vermouth's whereabouts and felt that the time had come to close the net, so she mobilized some of the agents in Japan to prepare to arrest Vermouth.

In Shuichi Akai's opinion, actions like this that somewhat disregarded the local police showed that although Judy was aware enough to face that woman, it might not be easy for her to succeed.

So, just when Akai Shuichi was thinking about whether to give support, he received a strange text message on his mobile phone, which forced him to pay attention to it——

Because the content of that text message almost reproduced the content of the last text message Mingmei sent to herself before her death.

Therefore, it is obvious that the person who sent this text message must be related to Mingmei.

And the one that he could think of was naturally her sister...

So, thinking of this, knowing that the other party knew the number of his mobile phone and knew the text messages that Mingmei sent to him before her death, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but reply to the text message out of his feelings for the late Mingmei. Then, he learned that the person who sent the text message wanted his help in doing something!

This incident itself also has great significance for the FBI's operations in Japan.

That is, while a costume party is being held on the ghost ship that is setting sail from Yokohama Port tonight, send agents to arrest Vodka who will be on board at that time!

Moreover, the other party stated that when the time comes, all they need to do is have the FBI agents disguise themselves and board the ship. When the time comes, everything will fall into place and Vodka will be captured.

In this way, the layout that seemed a bit far-fetched to Akai Shuichi was unbelievable at first.

After all, although Vodka is not as important as Gin, it is still incredible that it is so easy to arrest a member with a code name of a wine as the person who sent the text message said.

No matter what, when I infiltrated the organization, it took me so much time just to find a possible opportunity to capture Gin, but I still failed.

In the end, the other party told him that as long as his people went there, they would be able to catch him naturally...

Therefore, Shuichi Akai hesitated again and again about this news. Considering that the person who sent the text message might be Mingmei's sister, he thought that this was something worth a try after all. At least if he got on the ghost ship, he would definitely be able to discover something.

Therefore, after several investigations and learning what the party held on the ghost ship was all about, Shuichi Akai followed the other party's advice and arranged people to attend the party.

At the same time, according to the original plan, I also have to board the ship. After all, if I am there, I will be able to deal with it even if an accident occurs at that time.

As a result, just before setting off, the person who was originally assigned by Judy to capture Vermouth actually came back. So Shuichi Akai, who realized that something was going to happen to Judy, changed his plan and went to support Judy. He asked the agents to go to the ghost ship and told them not to show up, but to wait and see if there would be an opportunity to capture her.

Then, the result now was just as the person who sent the text message expected. Everything went smoothly and Vodka was successfully arrested without any effort...

So, being able to do this -

"Who are you anyway?"

Then, just a short while after Akai Shuichi sent the text message, Akai Shuichi received a reply:

"Vodka is not important..."
