Chapter 492 FBI, you're asking for it!

While Gin, Vermouth, Rum, and others were having a meeting, the FBI and the Japanese Public Security Bureau also held a meeting together.

However, the main person in charge of the meeting was not present.

Amuro Tooru and Akai Shuichi were not there, but James and Kazami Yuya were present.

Because both families were involved in this operation, and they are now face to face, it is necessary for them to meet and have a frank discussion.

Of course, the Japanese police don't need to disclose anything, since this is Japan, which is their territory.

The FBI from the United States were the ones who came uninvited.

But then again, to some extent, the United States is the one in control of Japan, after all, they have troops stationed here.

In addition, a neighboring island nation is also a country established on the site of a US military presence.

In fact, Amuro Tooru and these Japanese public security officers were the newcomers!
Inside a safe house, Yuya Kazami and James sat facing each other, with two subordinates behind them.

Behind Kazami Yuya were two unnamed subordinates, while one of James's subordinates was an old acquaintance, Agent Carmel, the tall FBI agent with excellent driving skills. The other subordinate was...

Neither Shuichi Akai nor Jodie showed up here.

Shuichi Akai is not here because he cannot meet with outsiders at the moment and can only do some logistical and command work.

As for Judy, the Japanese Public Security Bureau is unaware that Judy is an FBI agent, so they naturally won't expose her to these guys. Besides, Judy is of great use, so they won't let her come over.

Amuro Tooru is in a similar situation; James doesn't know his identity, but Shuichi Akai does.

Shuichi Akai simply didn't trust these FBI members, so only he knew about this.

In his view, infiltrating the organization as an undercover agent was more important.

He also knew that if too many people knew who the undercover agent was, it would be very easy to be exposed, which would increase the danger for the undercover agent.

Only he, who had been an undercover agent, knew the hardships of being an undercover agent.

Although Shuichi Akai is a beast, he is still decent in some ways.

"James, what do you want to say?" Kazami Yuya asked in a deep voice, looking at the old American man in front of him.

If the timing hadn't been so bad, he would have arrested all these FBI agents who had infiltrated Japan, tortured them, and extracted the intelligence he needed from them.

These guys entered the country illegally and were carrying firearms and ammunition, which is absolutely not allowed.

Although the Japanese police consider them to be illegally entering the country, they actually came to Japan under the pretext of tourism and legitimate work.

Even so, this is not a place where they can act with impunity.

Although Yu Kazami thought the same way, he had no one to support him and couldn't do anything he wanted to do.

If such a thing were actually done, it could trigger a dispute between the two countries.

Even so, there are still some things he has to say.

After all, you can't back down on your own turf; if you do, these guys will become even more unscrupulous.

Of course, it's not feasible to openly attack them, but it's possible to eliminate them quietly.

A living FBI agent is the real FBI agent; a dead FBI agent is just an illegal immigrant refugee in the United States.

Besides, these FBI agents might not survive until the Japanese Public Security Bureau takes action, because if the FBI's information is leaked, then CIA members will swarm in like sharks smelling blood and kill them first.

In the United States, the FBI and the CIA are mortal enemies, and they despise each other.

They're relatively restrained domestically, but when they're abroad, it's all about fighting to the death.

Because if you don't kill the other party, they will kill you!

The CIA agent planted in Japan this time also infiltrated the black organization; it was none other than Rena Mizunashi.

However, Rena Mizunashi did not participate in this operation and was completely unaware of Gin's actions.

To some extent, Gin doesn't trust Rena Mizunashi, even though she has the codename Kir.

Having a code name is one thing, but being trusted by Gin is another.

Upon hearing this, James pushed up his glasses, crossed his arms, and said in a deep voice, "We can exchange intelligence so that we can get more information about the Black Organization."

"This time we just lacked intelligence, otherwise Gin would have been captured by us!"

His idea was good: to get information about the criminal organization from the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Although the FBI's intelligence network is quite powerful, this is Japan, their home turf, so the Japanese public security forces are stronger in intelligence gathering.

But while the idea was good, he was facing Amuro Tooru, a Japanese public security officer who regarded Japan as his lover.

So Amuro Tooru thought that was utter nonsense!
"Hmph! What a clever idea!"

Amuro Tooru, who was behind the scenes, heard James's words through the monitor and the bugging device, and his face immediately turned cold.

In his view, James's words were an act of pushing his luck.

Not only did they illegally enter the country and carry firearms, but they also tried to obtain intelligence from them.

What? Is this part of America too?

Although the United States has troops stationed here, we still have autonomy. They would never do such a thing because it is a matter of principle!

"Tell him to give up on that idea!" Amuro Tooru said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Kazami Yuya said in a deep voice, "Impossible! You should give up on that idea!"

"You're lucky we didn't arrest you this time, don't push your luck!"

Now they can arrest these FBI agents without any problem; no one can find fault with the procedure.

But once they're arrested, things will become very troublesome.

Therefore, their inclination is not to arrest anyone. If they really want to arrest someone, they will just kill them to end the matter once and for all, leaving no evidence to prove otherwise.

I doubt the US would make a big fuss over a few people who illegally entered the country and were carrying dangerous items!

"Why can't we cooperate?" James pleaded earnestly.

Although he said that on the surface, no one knows what he was really thinking.

However, Shuichi Akai, who was hiding behind the scenes, also knew a little bit about it.

Like Amuro Tooru, Shuichi Akai was observing the meeting from behind the scenes.

However, he wouldn't say anything under these circumstances, because James was the head of the Japanese FBI branch, and everything had to be done according to his wishes.

But he has now seen through James's idea, which is to destroy the criminal organization and take something from it.

Of course, this wasn't something James wanted; it was something those influential figures in the US wanted. If he wasn't mistaken, this thing was aptX-4869.

He was aware of the drug, but because of Kitahara Natsuhiro, he had never met Conan and therefore did not know its specific effects.

But Shuichi Akai was unaware that James knew a great deal about the drug.

And this medicine is what they specifically requested.

So James was thinking about whether he could get his hands on the drug to curry favor with his boss and those people, so that he could get a promotion and a raise.

If he could, he would still prefer to stay in Japan, because it's like paradise to him.

While it's impossible to become a MacArthur locust, becoming a regional overlord is still possible.

After all, he was just a nobody in the United States, but in Japan, he was a powerful and influential figure.

"Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond"—that's James's current mindset.

After all, he's already this age, can't he just enjoy himself?

Therefore, not all FBI agents are motivated by a desire to punish evil; the majority are driven by self-interest, and James is one such example.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have climbed to this position.

"Cooperation?" Kazami Yuya said coldly. "Then tell me about the information you have about the Black Organization. If it's useful, we can exchange information!"

He could tell that James was a cunning person, someone who would never make honest trades and would definitely stir up trouble.

Moreover, James is a branch manager sent from the United States, so he's definitely not a simple person!

So he won't give James any information until James reveals something useful.

Moreover, this is their territory; it's the FBI, not the Japanese Public Security Bureau, that should back down.

Most importantly, they are all illegal immigrants who can be deported at any time.

However, Amuro Tooru said that if it's not necessary, then don't repatriate James and the others, because they are still useful, namely, to deplete the black organization's manpower, and then the Japanese Public Security Bureau can reap the benefits from behind.

This is something we can do!

It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal!
Hearing this, James paused for a moment, thinking to himself, "This guy is really tough to deal with, and who's behind him?"

He knew very well that Yuya Kazami was not the leader of this department; there was definitely someone behind him.

After all, the FBI had also collected information on the Japanese Public Security Bureau, even more than they thought, so they knew quite a bit about the internal workings of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

However, he truly did not know who was behind Kazami Yuya; they were hidden too deeply, and even they had no way of knowing.

"That James guy has absolutely no intention of cooperating!" Shuichi Akai, who was behind the scenes, couldn't help but sigh to himself when he heard this: "He just wants to take advantage of us."

"If both sides could cooperate sincerely, this cancerous organization would have been eradicated long ago."

Although he thought this way, he was also very clear that sincere cooperation between the two sides was completely impossible, even if they were fighting for the same enemy.

After all, the two sides belong to different countries and have their own interests, making sincere cooperation almost impossible.

Moreover, the FBI and CIA are both agencies belonging to the same country, but these two agencies fight each other whenever they meet, almost to the point of drawing blood.

Therefore, it is really difficult to achieve sincere cooperation; even Shuichi Akai could not get them to do so.

Although he is quite capable, he cannot be trusted.

Most importantly, given his current state, it's completely impossible for him to show his face.

oh~~~
A barely audible sigh came from the dimly lit room.

Even so, James was still pulling and tugging at Kazami Yuya.

However, as they talked, Kazami Yuya completely lost interest in talking to James, because James showed absolutely no sincerity.

"Alright, let's end this conversation here!" Kazami Yuya stood up and walked straight outside.

If I stay with James any longer, he'll definitely start swearing.

“Sigh, let’s talk again!” James stood up and reached out to stop Kazami Yuya.

Upon hearing this, Kazami Yuya turned his head and said, "You have absolutely no idioms. Do you think you can succeed with your empty-handed tricks on me?"

"You underestimate me too much!"

After saying that, he left with his men.

After he left, James heard Shuichi Akai's voice in his ear: "James, why didn't you say anything?"

If James provides some useful information, then the two sides can indeed lay the foundation for cooperation.

Unfortunately, James was completely unyielding and refused to say a word. He only wanted to get benefits from Kazami Yuya, but he himself didn't give a single penny.

No one would cooperate with you if you act like this!
Hearing this, James smiled and said, "No rush, there's plenty of time. The Japanese police need us!"

He also had his own difficulties. After all, he had been given a death order, and if he failed to complete it, the consequences would be quite troublesome.

Furthermore, there are certain pieces of intelligence that cannot be shared with the Japanese Public Security Bureau. If they were to find out, the chances of successfully completing the mission would be even lower.

"Every man for himself, or he'll be damned by heaven and earth." He had no other choice.

Little did they know, the Japanese Public Security Bureau had far more intelligence than James possessed.

After all, Amuro Tooru is still in the organization, while Akai Shuichi has been kicked out because of his exposure.

With this shift in balance, the FBI's intelligence will soon become obsolete.

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai fell silent, and finally said slowly, "That's all for now. I'm going to rest. You can call me if anything comes up."

"Okay, you should rest early, recover from your injuries, and come out to help me as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shuichi Akai hung up the call.

After hanging up the call, James left with his two men.

On their way back, James and Carmel noticed something unusual.

However, it cannot be said that they discovered it; rather, it means that the enemy had no intention of hiding it at all.

“Mr. James, we’re being watched, and it’s very likely those guys!” Carmel said, his face grim.

Upon hearing this, James asked with a grim face, "Can we shake them off?"

"Let me try!"
