Act 108: Encirclement and Suppression (2)
The next day, at Hakonecho Station in Kanagawa Prefecture, Akai and Kamal ran in the direction agreed upon as soon as they got off the train.
According to Gin, the leader of this transaction is a man with a lot of background, and in order to prevent the police from squatting, let him and Kamel go to the warehouse to test it first. If it is determined that there is no danger, he and the person who is trading will appear.
Within half an hour, their taxi had stopped fifty miles away from the warehouse.
After getting out of the car, the sound of footsteps mixed with the tearing sound of fallen maple leaves, the two walked slowly in the cold wind under the sunset.
"Akai-kun, there shouldn't be any explosions."
Shuichi Akai didn't speak, as if thinking about something.
When the two men stepped into the warehouse, Kamal swallowed lightly and asked, "Are our people around here?" ”
"That's right." His eyes darkened, and his voice was cold. "In the maple forest that we walked through after we got off the bus just now, there were a lot of FBI people in ambush, and this time they couldn't fly even if they planted their wings."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of rustling footsteps outside the warehouse gate.
The voice echoed in the empty space, very ethereal, and the hearts of the two of them were shocked. Akai immediately made a 'wait a minute' gesture.
Against the light, they couldn't see the faces of the people who came, but they could see that they were a little trembling from the outlines.
As the man got closer, the appearance became clearer.
Kamel was surprised: "An old man? ”
As his gaze shifted, the man walked unhurriedly to the only chair in the warehouse, holding a stick, and sat down next to them.
At this time, Akai Shuichi kept looking at the old man with his spare eyes.
The man was wearing a black cap of wool, and he didn't say a word the whole time, just sat there stiffly, as if waiting for someone. But he could clearly see that the old man's figure and physique did not look like an ordinary person.
Then, Akai took his gaze back.
Unaware, Kamal was a little worried, and he hurriedly walked out of the stack of crates and said, "Old man, it's dangerous here, you can't stay here." ”
"Oh, thank you, young man." The old man smiled.
"Get out of here."
The man was supported by him, and left step by step. Shuichi Akai slowly walked to Kamel's side, his tone flat. "I think this mission is a failure......
"Huh?" He didn't know what Akai meant.
"Don't you understand? The old man you sent away just now was actually a person from the organization pretending. I think he must have been sent by Gin. ”
"How, how can this be?" His eyes widened.
After some observation, his judgment could not be wrong. How could an ordinary old man have such a strong physique? Also, judging from the back of his young hand on crutches, it should be someone in the organization who deliberately disguised himself to test the waters.
It's just that before he could tell Kamal, the identities of the two were revealed.
Kamal knew that he had made a big mistake, and he was a little puzzled: "Then why didn't you arrest him?" ”
"It's useless." Akai exhaled softly, "If the big boss behind the scenes doesn't appear, it's useless to catch him." We don't know how many people there are on the enemy's side, and if we catch him and everyone shows up, we'll be in a passive position. So, retreat......"
Then Kamal sighed, and in a fit of self-blame and loneliness, he dialed James, who was lying in ambush outside. After recounting the cause and effect, the FBI group emerged from the grass.
A few minutes later, James and the others met them.
"I'm really sorry." Kamal hurriedly bowed.
"When it gets to this point, don't blame yourself. There's no way around it......" James said, looking at Shuichi Akai. "Now that your identities have been revealed, you two can't be in Japan anymore. Nowadays, it seems that this organization is not so easy to deal with. ”
