Chapter 382
"You're here, James." Judy opened the door and let James in, glancing around as she closed it to make sure no one had seen him.
This is a habit of FBI agents; after all, if two FBI agents were caught together, it would be troublesome.
We naturally need to be more cautious.
After entering, James changed into the slippers that Judy had prepared beforehand: "No one is following me, and no one on this floor has come out of their rooms, so don't worry."
As a veteran FBI agent, counterintelligence skills are a fundamental part of his job. If he were being followed, he might as well quit and go home to live off his family.
The fact that he was dispatched by the FBI headquarters is enough to prove that he is no ordinary person. He is just a bit old, but sometimes experience matters.
"Okay." Judy nodded and followed James into the living room. "Please have a seat. I'll pour you some tea. Would you like coffee or tea?"
"Coffee bar," James said, sitting on the sofa. "I'm getting old, and sometimes I can't keep going without coffee."
He's not young anymore; when you get older, you have to admit defeat and honestly drink coffee to stay awake.
“Okay, wait a moment,” Judy said with a smile. “I just bought some good coffee beans.”
She also enjoys drinking coffee, especially hand-ground coffee, so she bought some coffee beans and grinds some whenever she wants to drink it.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." James nodded, and then took out a few small items from his person.
These small items were what he planned to give to Judy.
"Are these the FBI's most advanced wiretapping and transmitting devices?" Judy asked while making coffee.
The room is only this big; you can see it as soon as you turn your head.
Upon hearing this, James said, "That's right, this is the latest equipment. Headquarters is giving it priority to supplying it to us."
“After all, Gin is not a easy guy to deal with. He is the right-hand man of the Black Organization, and even Vermouth is here. So we need a lot of things here. I applied to the higher-ups, and headquarters gave them to us.”
James still has influence, and he's a veteran in the FBI. Besides, Japan is one of the headquarters of the black organizations, and many core members are based there.
If we can capture their core members, we can obtain more useful intelligence, or even some things they want.
James had been with the FBI for a long time and had also done intelligence work targeting criminal organizations while in the United States, so he knew exactly what his superiors wanted to know.
Therefore, if he manages to capture Vermouth, the higher-ups will certainly be generous with their rewards.
Promotions and raises are not easily attainable.
Unfortunately, Vermouth isn't so easy to catch, and even though Judy knows her true colors, she doesn't dare to do it casually.
Because criminal organizations are dangerous entities, a single misstep can easily lead to major chaos, or even trigger a gunfight.
This is unacceptable to the FBI.
Because the FBI is an illegal organization here, and they are lawless individuals who entered the country without an application, if the Japanese police find out, they wouldn't hesitate to arrest them and torture them.
James was well aware of the perversion of the Japanese and knew that these guys were inhuman.
Therefore, they will not reveal their identities unless absolutely necessary. If they do, they will only be FBI agents who are on vacation in Japan.
What? You don't believe me?
Whether you believe it or not, the FBI will believe it, and the troops stationed here will believe it.
At this point, the opinions of the Japanese side became irrelevant, and they didn't even dare to take action against them, since they weren't a unified country.
Even the neighboring Great Cold Nether Kingdom was founded on territory occupied by the United States.
However, before they revealed their identities, the Japanese police were like vicious dogs, always watching them, wanting to catch them by the tail, and then teach them a lesson!
"It seems the headquarters here is taking this quite seriously, but have they managed to get any weapons or anything?" Judy asked.
Their weapons have always been subpar, consisting mostly of pistols and easily concealable equipment. It would be much better if they could get their hands on some heavy weapons.
Unfortunately, this is Japan, and the FBI mainly deals with domestic affairs, so it's difficult for them to get involved in foreign matters.
Therefore, some equipment can only be purchased from the black market or from Japanese people, and it is simply not enough.
Because Judy knew very well that the Black Organization's firepower was quite terrifying; they could even bring in armed helicopters!
Upon hearing this, James said, "Don't worry about that. I've already mentioned it to my superiors, and they've agreed. We can go to the military to pick up some equipment soon; it's all the equipment we need."
Japan does have a military presence, but this presence has little to do with the FBI and they don't interfere in the FBI's work.
But when the higher-ups speak, it's different; and all they're doing is allocating a small amount of equipment.
However, once those guys in the US military get some equipment, they'll definitely make exorbitant demands on their superiors, pinning a lot of baseless accusations on the FBI.
These are all old tricks of the US military.
After all, their toilets cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and airfreighting a goat costs millions of dollars.
They even killed the people who had previously audited the accounts. The US military is capable of doing these kinds of things, let alone the FBI.
After all, in Japan, the most powerful force is not Japan itself, nor the FBI, nor the CIA, nor the criminal organizations, but the US military.
They are the masters here; they can do whatever they want.
"That's good then." Judy nodded, then placed the submerged coffee grounds into the brewing machine and started making coffee. "By the way, how's the show going?"
She still cares about Shuichi Akai, but not as much as before.
After all, she was about to betray Shuichi Akai's sister and mother, and their relationship had already become strained.
But she had no choice. It was all for the mission, for her deceased parents, and for world peace. She had to do it.
Sure enough, once the woman convinced herself, everything was no longer a problem.
That's Judy.
Upon hearing this, James glanced at Judy and said softly, "There's not much progress with Akai. He said the psychological trauma is too great, and it will take him a long time to get over it."
"During this period, Akai will have little fighting power and will even have to hide."
"After all, if the Black Organization finds out that Akai has become like this, they will definitely come to kill him!"
"Akai is known as the Silver Bullet within the organization, which shows how much the organization values Shuichi Akai."
However, Shuichi Akai is indeed worthy of the Black Organization's attention.
His terrifying sniping skills allowed him to infiltrate the Black Organization and return unharmed, even causing considerable trouble for the organization. Therefore, the Black Organization harbors deep hatred for Shuichi Akai.
Furthermore, Shuichi Akai and Gin also have a love-hate relationship!
In the original work, Shuichi Akai could have easily shot Gin in the head, and he only shot at the bulletproof vest, and then smashed the chewing gum, transmitter, and tracker in Gin's hand.
They even have the audacity to claim it's to avoid a gunfight?
It's fair to say that the FBI is a troublemaker, yet they're spouting high-sounding platitudes; it's truly laughable.
Moreover, at that time, Gin and the others were all on the rooftop with no cover, making them easy targets for Shuichi Akai.
With Shuichi Akai's sniping skills, taking down two people in an instant would not have been a problem, but he chose not to do so.
I bet Shuichi Akai has his own little scheme in mind too!
Keke, get back to business.
“That makes sense.” Judy nodded, looked down at her coffee, and remained silent for a while. “James, here’s your coffee.”
"Thank you," James said after taking the coffee, sniffed it, and smiled. "Judy, this coffee is very good."
Upon hearing this, Judy, sitting opposite James, smiled and said, "If you like, you can take some back with you when you leave. I bought quite a lot."
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony,” James said. “By the way, you need to be careful with this mission. Don’t mess it up just because the other party is Akai’s mother and sister.”
"This mother and son are very important to us at the FBI."
"You need to understand that Mary Akai is not only Shuichi Akai's mother, but also a former MI6 agent. If we can get information from her, we can control MI6's intelligence. You should know that very well!"
For the FBI, MI6's intelligence is even greater than that of the Black Organization in some respects.
The FBI doesn't care about black organizations at all; the reason they pay so much attention is simply because the higher-ups want something legendary.
MI6 is a British intelligence agency, and Britain was previously a major enemy of the United States. They don't want this enemy to rise again.
Therefore, stealing MI6's intelligence is really valuable, and Mary Akai is a great entry point!
Hearing this, Judy took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I know, I had already thought it through when I made this decision."
“I am an American, and the FBI saved my life. Whatever the FBI wants to do, I will do it. Please do my best. You don’t need to doubt me on this matter.”
Judy is also loyal to the FBI.
There's no way to avoid disloyalty; it's a dead end—either you'll be killed by the criminal organization or by your own people.
Every year, FBI field officers suffer significant casualties.
These casualties could have been caused by the enemy, the CIA, or even by their own people—anything is possible!
James was quite satisfied with this and nodded: "Very good, Judy."
"I knew I hadn't misjudged him."
"I'll leave these things here with you. You can use them later, and then connect them to your computer to see the picture and sound."
"I hope you can obtain useful information."
"I won't bother you any longer. I have some things to take care of, so I'll go ahead and get back to work."
James finished his coffee and stood up from the stool.
"I'll give it to you."
Judy also got up and then saw James out.
As she saw James off, no one else came out from the next room. Judy watched as James left the floor and entered the elevator.
After James left, Judy continued with her own things.
Before long, the time she had arranged to meet Kitahara Natsuhiro arrived.
In the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed, and it was already evening.
At this time, Kitahara Natsuhiro was about to go to Shōri Marie's house to keep his appointment.
However, before going to the appointment, Judy stayed at his house for a long time, but the two of them did not do anything out of line until Kitahara Natsuyu was about to leave, at which point Judy left.
The reason Judy stayed at Kitahara Natsuhiro's house for so long was entirely to plant listening devices and surveillance cameras on Kitahara Natsuhiro.
After all, only Kitahara Natsuhiro was able to enter Akai Mary's house. As for Jodie herself, there was no way she could enter Akai Mary's house. Even if she did manage to get in and install something, it would be immediately found and removed when Akai Mary returned, and she might even suffer retaliation.
Never underestimate the capabilities of a veteran agent; they are simply old, not dead.
If you underestimate them, you'll suffer a great loss.
Therefore, Judy could only get these things in through Kitahara Natsuyu.
It's unlikely that Mary Akai would search Natsuhiro Kitahara's body or use specialized equipment to examine him!
If that's the case, then Judy accepts it.
As for why Judy stayed at Kitahara Natsuhiro's house for so long, it was to ask him some questions, such as cooking.
So the two of them stayed there for a long time.
And this reason is truly a universal reason; even Kitahara Natsuhiro couldn't refute it.
Although he couldn't refute it, Kitahara Natsuhiro also realized what Jodie was planning to do.
After Judy left, Kitahara Natsuyu fiddled with the small object in his hand, a playful smile on his face, and muttered to himself, "Judy's got guts, actually putting her sights on me."
"Not only did they target me, but they also made a move against Shuichi Akai's mother and sister. This probably wasn't done with Shuichi Akai's consent; it was Jodie's idea, or perhaps it was someone above her."
"James?"
He remembered that James was in charge of the FBI branch in Japan, and that the guy had been there for a while.
So Judy's actions are inseparable from James's influence.
As a veteran FBI agent and an American, James would naturally make the choice that is most advantageous to himself.
As for Shuichi Akai?
This guy is useless now and has no fighting ability for the time being, so James needs to find another way out!
