Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 196 190. Really coming?

A black Maybach slowly stopped on the side of a road in Beika Town. Lin Ryoma in the back seat asked Kaneda:

"How's it going? Any questions?"

"Without Big Brother, there will be no tail behind Miyano Akemi."

"Okay, then let's arrange for Miyano Akemi to come over and meet."

It is an old tradition of the organization to find someone to scout the location in advance. Back then, Shuichi Akai was exposed because Rum found someone to scout the location.

To this day, Hayashi Ryoma still doesn't understand why Akai Shuichi could have brought such a rookie with him when he took action.

With such a strong sense of justice and such high moral standards, this person should not be on international field trips.

If it weren't for that greenhorn from the FBI back then, Shuichi Akai wouldn't have been discovered so carelessly.

Lin Longma also learned from Gin's advanced experience, and whenever this happened, he would send some "innocent passers-by" to investigate the scene. If there was no problem, everyone was happy, and if there was a problem, it would be convenient for them to run away immediately.

Caution is the most important thing at all times when doing organizational work.

After going around in circles seven or eight times and passing many observation posts, Miyano Akemi finally took a taxi to the door of a teahouse.

"Thank you, sir. Here's the fare." In the back seat, Akemi Miyano took out her wallet and prepared to give cash to the taxi driver, but was rejected by the driver.

"It's okay. That's all. Miss Miyano, just go in."

"Ah?" Miyano Akemi was stunned. She didn't expect that the taxi driver actually knew her and didn't want to pay for her fare.

Anyone who knows about taxis in the island country knows that they are really expensive. Even Maori Kogoro didn't dare to take a taxi unless he was in a hurry before he received a series of big orders from Hayashi Ryoma.

Miyano Akemi asked the driver to take her around for most of the day, and now he wants to refuse the fare?

Miyano Akemi, who got off the car in a daze, was blown by the cold wind on the roadside and suddenly realized. No, this taxi driver should be Lin Longma's man!

Logically, Miyano Akemi should be terrified at this moment, but when she thought about the purpose of her coming here today, she suddenly felt inexplicably relieved.

Sometimes reality is like this. When your opponent is elusive and has no plans left to chance, you will feel very troubled.

But when such a person is your teammate, you will feel at ease.

It all depends on where you stand.

Feeling a little chilled by the cool breeze of the autumn night, Miyano Akemi tightened her coat and walked into the courtyard of the tea house.

As soon as she walked into the tea room, two receptionists in kimonos came towards her.

"Excuse me, is this Ms. Miyano?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Please follow me, the president is waiting for you inside." The two greeters bowed to Miyano Akemi and led the way.

Walk through the courtyard into the corridor, followed by the garden and veranda, and finally to a quiet room deep inside.

Kaneda and Shiraishi were standing at the door of the quiet room.

"Ms. Miyano, my brother is inside." Kaneda nodded to Miyano Akemi, then helped open the wooden door.

Miyano Akemi breathed a sigh of relief as she heard no other sounds along the way except for footsteps and flowing water. Seeing familiar people always makes people feel a little more relaxed.

When she entered the quiet room, she found that Lin Ryoma was not wearing traditional island costumes as Miyano Akemi had imagined, but was sitting upright waiting for her arrival.

Instead, he found a cushion and took off his suit jacket, half leaning on it. "Ms. Miyano, are you here?" Lin Longma waved to Miyano Akemi, "Don't be shy, sit down quickly.

This is one of the properties under the Isshinkai name. It is strictly by appointment and does not accept visitors.

Most of the time it’s a good place to have a conversation.”

Lin Longma pointed at the teapot and tea on the coffee table and told Miyano Akemi to help herself. "We are the only ones here today, so don't worry about anyone hearing our conversation."

Lin Longma didn't actually say everything. This was the case in the tea room, but this quiet room was obviously more than that.

This quiet room is specially prepared for some confidential conversations, and it is equipped with very comprehensive signal shielding equipment.

Not only will mobile phone signals be blocked, but signals from some common types of eavesdropping devices will also be blocked.

After all, Miyano Akemi is Shirley's biological sister, so a direct body search would seem a bit inhumane, so the signal jammer here becomes a more humane approach.

After Lin Longma felt that Miyano Akemi was a little relaxed, he asked, "So what did Miss Miyano want to talk to me about this time?"

"It's like this, President Lin." Miyano Akemi subconsciously adjusted her sitting posture to make her look more formal, and then said:
"The colleague of the person who contacted me before called me unexpectedly last night."

"Oh?" Lin Ryoma was not too surprised. He couldn't think of any other situation except the FBI that could make Miyano Akemi look for him so anxiously.

"Have you guys been in touch during this time?"

"No, I blocked all contact information of that person after I broke up with Shiho last time. I just don't know why she contacted me suddenly again."

"Are you sure that the person who called you is the one you have been in touch with before?"

"I'm pretty sure it's her."

"Interesting. What does she want to do by contacting you?"

"She said she would come to Tokyo soon and wanted to meet me." Miyano Akemi had a complicated expression.

On the one hand, they are Shuichi Akai's colleagues, which naturally makes Miyano Akemi have some good feelings towards them.

But on the other hand, this person almost killed their sisters before. If it weren’t for Lin Longma, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After so many years, has any member who wanted to leave the organization had a good ending?
Originally, Miyano Akemi thought that everything would be fine after she cut off all contact with the FBI, but she didn't expect that the FBI would come to her door again.

Why wouldn't they let her go?
"Because after Shuichi Akai escaped from the organization, the FBI no longer had any channels to obtain intelligence about the organization.

And you are the only clue the FBI can grasp at the moment. They will certainly not give up so easily without squeezing you dry.

You said that this FBI who contacted you could have been instructed by Akai Shuichi?"

Lin Longma saw through what Miyano Akemi couldn't understand. To put it bluntly, the FBI had not given up after the previous failed operation.

Still thinking about counterattacking Tokyo.

But there was no breakthrough, so they could only bring out Miyano Akemi to rehash the old story and see if they could get some unexpected results.

Furthermore, Miyano Akemi's sister is Shirley, a senior member of the organization. The FBI may not be aware of how embarrassing Shirley's position in the organization is.

Maybe in their opinion, even if there are some differences between sherry and gin, the differences are not that big?

In short, Miyano Akemi is now like those victims who have been caught and blackmailed by others.

The FBI will definitely not stop so easily until they have squeezed Miyano Akemi dry.
