Stay away from Conan.

Because they received the message from Shuichi Akai, the FBI agents who were preparing to go to the base with Vodka naturally began to conduct a comprehensive inspection of each agent and Vodka to see if there was any tracker.

However, in the end, no one found any trace of the tracker on anyone, and Vodka's cell phone was installed in a signal-shielding device. Even if it had a signal-tracking function, it would be impossible for anyone to detect its whereabouts.

Therefore, after getting this result, the group of FBI agents who participated in the arrest of Vodka reported the situation to Shuichi Akai, who was also confused when he learned the news -

  After all, this shouldn't be the case, right?

If the enemy doesn't know our whereabouts and doesn't know where the vodka will eventually be transferred, then the organization will not be able to determine the specific location to intercept us, right?

In this case, wouldn't the premise set by the other party no longer be valid?

Or did the other party use more covert means to track intelligence?

Thus, Akai Shuichi fell into deep thought for a while...

……

At this time, Gao Yuan, who planned the plan and was responsible for its execution, naturally knew the point that Shuichi Akai was confused about. After confessing to Shuichi Akai that he hoped they would give up the plan of vodka, Shuichi Akai would definitely realize that the whereabouts of the team of FBI agents who left with vodka were most likely locked down, so he would definitely ask them to check for possible trackers.

  But since Gao Yuan already knew this, how could he not make preparations?

This is possible thanks to the automatically falling sticker-type tracker invented by Dr. Agasa. Whenever he needs it, he can make the trackers installed on Vodka and the FBI agents fall off automatically at the right time. When they start to check later, it will naturally be impossible to find any trace of the tracker.

Of course, in this case, after the tracker falls off, the tracking process should no longer be able to continue.

However, this was not a difficult problem for Gao Yuan. After all, Gao Yuan had modified the tracker. In addition to the common eavesdropping and tracking functions, it also had an additional function -

  Cell phone monitoring device!

Utilizing the operating principle of the "Global System for Mobile Communications", the communication signals sent by mobile phones are monitored and decoded, and then combined with the control of nearby mobile phone signal base stations.

As long as there is someone in that team of FBI agents who has cell phone contact with Shuichi Akai, it would be possible to reversely locate the cell phone signals of those agents through technical means.

  Therefore, now, even if the tracker has been dropped by Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan no longer needs to locate and track the signal, but can directly track the mobile phone signal!

Of course, even if Gao Yuan did this, it is not ruled out that Shuichi Akai would directly ask the FBI agents to completely abandon all devices that might send signals in order to ensure that everything is foolproof.

Therefore, at this point, Gao Yuan has to race against time. He has to intercept Akai Shuichi and complete the meeting with him before Akai Shuichi figures this out!

……

When Shuichi Akai couldn't figure out the situation for a while and didn't know what means the organization would act without the tracker, Shuichi Akai, who had no idea for the time being, simply arranged an action plan, and then he drove a black pickup truck to prepare to meet up with the team.

Then, along the way, Shuichi Akai was constantly thinking about the situation, not knowing when and how the organization's people would appear.

Therefore, as the party with obvious lack of intelligence, Akai Shuichi gradually realized that in the current situation, giving up vodka might really be a good choice, but...

  But if I just give up the vodka for no reason, wouldn't it seem that the whole thing was planned by the other party?

This situation...

"Oh, it's really a disgusting feeling... I really want to see who you are!"

So, just as Shuichi Akai was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that he had received another text message on his mobile phone, so he couldn't help but glance at the brief display on the homepage of the mobile phone. After finding that the new text message was still from the person who entrusted Mingmei, Shuichi Akai took advantage of the night when there were few vehicles on the road, parked the car temporarily by the roadside, and began to read what the other party had sent at this time.

As a result, to Akai Shuichi's surprise, the content of this text message was not to continue the previous topic, but - "Look at the building to the right of your current position."

Suddenly, Akai Hide's eyes widened slightly when he saw this information, and he suddenly realized something -

My whereabouts are also known by the other party?

Then, the other party's tracking of the other agents should not be a simple signal tracker, but...

Looking at the phone in his hand, Akai Shuichi couldn't help but realize the situation -

That’s right, the easiest way is to lock your cell phone signal.

And if my cell phone signal can be locked, then other agents who are in contact with me...

I guess that’s the case!

Instantly, Akai Shuichi realized this, and the first thing he thought of the moment he saw the text message was to notify the agents to quickly block the signals of their own phones.

However, if I notify them right now, I will completely lose contact with them before I arrive!

Moreover, the message sent by the other party now means...

After being stunned for a moment by the information contained in the text message, Akai Shuichi finally came back to the literal meaning of the text message. He turned his head and looked out through the car window, looking at the building on his right.

This is an apartment building called "Skylark".

Although it was already early morning, there were still a few lights on in the apartments, as if indicating that someone was still inside and hadn't rested.

So, Akai Shuichi was a little puzzled by this result, and then, Akai Shuichi saw that a new text message had been received -

"Aren't you going to take a look at the apartment Mingmei rented without telling the organization?"

For a moment, this information made Akai Shuichi stunned——

  Mingmei rented an apartment without telling the organization?

Could it be that there is something important left here by Mingmei?

At this moment, Shuichi Akai had to admit that he was attracted by the other party's words.

So, after thinking for a moment, he finally decided that he had to see what the other party was trying to do, so he got out of the car and walked towards the apartment.

Then, after asking the apartment manager and taking out Mingmei's photo to confirm that Mingmei had lived here, Akai Shuichi, who revealed that he was Mingmei's friend, successfully got the spare key and went to take a look here -

The apartment where Mingmei once lived... (End of this chapter)
