Chapter 1004: Falling Valley 0
After listening to his subordinates' brief report, Amuro Toru shouted in surprise: "What did you say, Akai shot at you?"
"And then, you didn't lose him, did you?"
"About this, one vehicle was damaged and could not continue the pursuit..."
Toru Amuro interrupted his subordinate anxiously: "Don't worry about that, as long as there is a car that can be driven, chase it!"
"If he escapes this time, I don't know where he will hide next!"
"Hmm, cough!" Suddenly, Subaru Okiya coughed loudly.
Amuro Toru looked back subconsciously.
Subaru Okiya had already put his mask back on, covered his mouth with the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Could you please be quiet for a moment? The owner of this room has won an important award and is about to give a speech to express his gratitude for the award."
Hearing this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but stare at the TV screen.
Yusaku Kudo has already arrived at the podium. He took the microphone from the host, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you everyone. I am Yusaku Kudo. I am a person with little knowledge and talent, but I was able to win the award. First of all, I want to thank the director, the staff, and the actors who adapted this work into a movie... It is not just my credit."
Kudo Yusaku first expressed his gratitude as usual, and then said: "And most importantly, I also want to thank the person who inspired this "Scarlet Agent"."
"Oh?" The host unexpectedly took over the conversation, "So there is a reference character?"
"Yeah." Kudo Yusaku suddenly showed a helpless smile, glanced at someone in the audience, and said, "Besides, my wife has become a fan of that person and often tells me how handsome and powerful that person is. It's such a waste to keep him in the FBI."
"Hmph, that's just how it is! Xiaoyou is too stingy!" Below the stage, Kudo Yukiko crossed her arms across her chest and looked at her husband on the stage unhappily, secretly thinking in her heart how she would deal with him when she returned home.
Kudo Yusaku suddenly felt a chill on his back, but he hid his expression well and continued chatting and laughing with the host.
"Well, congratulations again to Mr. Kudo Yusaku for winning the Best Screenplay Award at this year's Oscars!"
At this moment, Amuro Toru heard the voice of his subordinates coming from the phone: "Akai?"
He quickly put the phone to his ear and yelled, "Akai is still there? Hey, talk to me?!"
···
On the highway, several cars overturned on the side of the road with black smoke coming out. Several men in black were standing next to them, looking at the cars in front of them with shock on their faces.
At Shuichi Akai's request, they, who had originally shaken off the pursuers, drove the car back in front of them.
The pursuers raised their heads and pointed at Akai Shuichi.
Akai Hide was not afraid at all, and said calmly: "I hope you don't blame me. After all, you were the ones who came to me first."
"And in the situation just now, if I didn't take action, there would definitely be casualties in the end."
The leader held his phone in silence.
They could never have imagined that in that situation Shuichi Akai could actually shoot and hit their wheels, which resulted in the cars behind being caught off guard and several cars crashing into each other.
Fortunately, their car was not an ordinary sedan but a reinforced one. The people in the car were only slightly injured and were not in danger of life.
At this time, Akai Shuichi said: "I have a suggestion. How about exchanging this mobile phone in your hand for the pistol I just used to shoot?"
The leader was a little confused. He looked at Shuichi Akai's pistol, then at his mobile phone. He didn't quite understand why he did this.
But now the situation is stronger than the people. The leader looked at his injured subordinates, and several cars were unable to be driven. He had no confidence that he could keep Shuichi Akai and the other two FBI agents, so he could only agree to Shuichi Akai's exchange request.
The two sides exchanged items smoothly.
Akai Shuichi could still clearly hear the voice of Amuro Toru calling him on the phone. He put the phone to his ear and said slowly, "Long time no see, Bourbon."
"No, I should call you Amuro Toru now, right?"
Amuro Toru stared at his phone in shock, clenching his teeth tightly—Akai Shuichi?! This person is still alive!
It's just that his reasoning was wrong. Okiya Subaru is not Akai Shuichi at all. He was holding on to the fake here, but he didn't expect that the real Akai Shuichi would appear among his subordinates.
This time, his plan completely failed.
At this time, Akai Shuichi said: "Because of me, your companion's car was reimbursed. As compensation, I will give you a gift."
"The pistol we just gave them is the one that Kusuda Rikumichi used to commit suicide. As long as we can track down how he got the gun, we won't be able to cause them too much trouble, but we should be able to find some clues."
"This is Neon. It's more appropriate for you to investigate here than for us, the FBI."
Toru Amuro was shocked: "Do you know my identity? Did he tell you?" Was it really Yuya who leaked it?
Akai Shuichi replied: "You misunderstood. I had suspected you long before when you were in the organization, but your biggest failure was revealing that you were particularly sensitive to the nickname Zero, Furuya Zero."
Toru Amuro widened his eyes in shock, he was sure that his identity was not exposed by Yuya, because he only hinted to Yuya that he was a public security officer and did not tell him his real name.
The fact that Shuichi Akai could say this name means that he investigated all of this himself.
As expected, Akai Shuichi continued, "Basically, there aren't many people with the nickname Zero, so it's easy to investigate them."
"If my guess is correct, you are planning to hand me over to those people so that you can get closer to the power center of the organization and obtain more intelligence, right?"
"But I want to remind you that I hope you don't forget the person you should be hunting for the sake of your immediate goal, because you are one of the men I least want to become."
"Also, I still feel bad about what happened to him."
After saying this, Shuichi Akai said to the front: "Okay, Kamil, drive." At the same time, he threw the mobile phone to the leader.
Upon hearing this, Kamal started the car, which wobbled away along the road.
The leader took a look and asked Toru Amuro on the other end of the phone: "What should we do now? Should we continue chasing?"
Amuro Toru said without hesitation: "No, since he already knows our identities, if we continue to chase him, we will be exposed. Let's retreat."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
