I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 331 Stop talking, just fight! (1st update)
Shiraishi leaned against the bar, swirling her whiskey glass; the amber liquid gleamed with a cool, elegant luster under the light.

He glanced up at Shuichi Akai, who was mixing drinks, a playful smile on his lips: "How have you been lately? The FBI's ace agent must be quite busy, right?"

Shuichi Akai skillfully shook the shaker, the ice cubes clinking together with a crisp sound.

He didn't even look up, his voice so calm it was impossible to discern any emotion: "Pretty calm. When there are no missions, I'll cause trouble for the Japanese Public Security Bureau; when there are missions, I'll find time to cause trouble for them."

"Pfft—" Shiraishi E almost spat out his drink. He wiped his mouth and laughed, "You guys are really... like oil and water."

Shuichi Akai poured the prepared martini into a glass with fluid, effortless movements. He then looked up, a cold glint in his dark green eyes: "It wasn't me who caused them trouble; it was that blond bastard who kept causing me trouble."

His fingers unconsciously traced the rim of his wine glass. "He doesn't even have the basic skills of an undercover agent. Does he think this is child's play?"

Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow with interest, signaling him to continue.

“That happened during the time I was undercover. He infiltrated the organization as an undercover agent along with Scotch Whisky.” Shuichi Akai’s voice lowered a few degrees: “I had already stopped him, but this stubborn guy panicked and shot himself as soon as he heard footsteps.”

"Bang! This kind of mentality dares to go undercover? The training level of the Japanese Public Security Bureau is truly worrying."

Shiraishi recalled the content of the anime, and to be honest, he couldn't understand why Morofushi Kagemitsu committed suicide.

Shuichi Akai has already confessed his identity as an FBI agent.

Besides, there were only the two of them at the time. They could have a good talk, go over their statements, and the matter would be covered up quickly!

Even if someone comes at this time, and it's a member of another organization, wouldn't two undercover agents be able to kill the other party?

But Fushigi Kagemitsu shot himself as soon as he heard footsteps.

Aside from a lack of mental fortitude, Shiraishi E really couldn't think of any reason why the other party would fire a gun.

He took a sip of his drink, deliberately stirring things up, "Maybe Bourbon knows deep down that he killed his companion, but he's just too afraid to admit it, so he's taking his anger out on you?"

Shuichi Akai revealed his plans for the day: "This isn't the first time he's given me trouble." The bottom of his glass clinked against the bar. "I'm getting annoyed."

Shiraishi E took the wine glass, a knowing glint in her eyes: "So... you called me here today because you intend to—" He made a throat-slitting gesture.

Shuichi Akai tilted his head back and downed the drink in his glass, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I arranged to meet him."

His voice was as cold as ice: "This is the last chance. If he remains obstinate, then there's nothing more you can do."

“I understand.” Shiraishi E shrugged, swirling the ice in her glass. “After all, nobody wants to be stabbed in the back while dealing with an enemy.”

Just then, the bar door was pushed open, and the wind chimes rang out.

The two turned their heads simultaneously and saw Amuro Tooru standing in the doorway, his golden hair particularly striking under the light. His gaze was sharp as a knife, locked directly on Akai Shuichi, as if he wanted to stab the other to death.

"It seems," Shiraishi E chuckled, taking a sip of her drink, "that the show is about to begin."

Shuichi Akai slowly put down the bartender and met Tooru Amuro's gaze. Invisible sparks seemed to fly in the air, and the temperature in the entire bar seemed to drop a few degrees.

Amuro Tooru strode confidently towards the bar, stopping in front of Akai Shuichi, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Long time no see, traitor!"

The word "traitor" implies that he limited their relationship to the time when they worked together in the organization.

Akai Hideaki wiped the glass expressionlessly: "Bourbon, you're still so rude, coming in without knocking."

He said slowly and deliberately, "If you could learn to knock on doors, maybe Scotch whisky wouldn't have committed suicide!" Shiraishi laughed when she heard this.

He could tell that Shuichi Akai had completely lost patience with Tooru Amuro, so he started with zero frames and immediately unleashed a powerful attack on Amuro's face.

Amuro Tooru hadn't expected Akai Shuichi to hit him where it hurt right away. His face instantly darkened, and he said, "Since you know Kagemitsu's identity, why did you expose his undercover identity?"

"As an undercover agent, how much of a blow would it be to the person whose identity was exposed?"

"You could have revealed your undercover identity first, and then uncovered Jingguang's identity... You clearly had a better way to handle this, why didn't you do it?"

"Jingguang isn't stupid, why would he choose to commit suicide at this time! At first I couldn't understand it, but after investigating... I figured it out!"

"Before Jingguang committed suicide, he taught a girl to play bass... You were worried that he would find out your true identity, so you killed him to keep quiet, right?"

He coldly stated the reason why he had hated Shuichi Akai for so many years.

As for why the other party has never revealed his identity.

Amuro Tooru thought the reason was simple: Akai Shuichi still wanted to use him!
This surprised Shiraishi E, who was just watching the drama unfold.

He initially thought that Amuro, through his obsession with Hiromitsu's death, refused to accept reality and thus shifted the blame onto Shuichi Akai.

However, after hearing the other party's reasoning, he felt it made a lot of sense.

In the anime, there is indeed a scene where Hiromitsu Fushimoto teaches Sera Masumi to play the bass.

Shuichi Akai is extremely attached to his family; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone so far as to become an FBI agent in order to find his father's whereabouts.

After that, he stopped contacting his family for a period of time.

He didn't even inform Mary and Sera Masumi about faking his death.

Shuichi Akai eliminates Hiromitsu Fushimori, an undercover agent, in order to protect Sera Masumi's safety.

Logically speaking, it's not impossible.

Shuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro each have their own version of events, and it's likely that only Shuichi Akai, the person directly involved, knows the truth.

Shuichi Akai had always wondered why Tooru Amuro hated him, but after meeting him today, he finally understood the reason!

He tried to explain something, but found that he couldn't explain it at all.

Fushigi Kagemitsu was already dead, and the other party didn't believe him at all.

This whole thing is like mud falling from your crotch; even if it's not shit, it's still shit.

The scene fell silent instantly, leaving only the two men glaring at each other.

Seeing this, Shiraishi E put down his wine glass and said, "Since you both have your own reasons, then there's no need to say anything more."

"Continuing to argue won't get to any result."

"You guys should fight! Whoever wins is right!!"
