On weekend mornings, Tokyo seemed much quieter than usual.
The once bustling crowds had diminished significantly, leaving only about one-fifth of the usual number. Similarly, the cars, which typically formed long lines, now left relatively spacious roads.
However, even so, street racing was still incredibly dangerous here. Ordinary people couldn't possibly engage in such reckless behavior.
Yet today, two black cars tore through the streets like phantoms, emitting sharp roars as they sped wildly.
Even though he speculated that his identity had been exposed, Shuichi Akai remained calm. He had his own guesses about how his identity had been revealed.
The night I encountered them, there was also a girl and an elementary school student present. It was likely that the girl I had met in New York had disclosed my identity to them.
That is why the situation hasn't escalated to a point of confrontation.
After all, he is the "FBI" agent who came here, so causing a scene would benefit no one. The fact that the other party wants to shake me off already expressed their dissatisfaction.
However, I am not one to give up easily!
Akemi Miyano had disappeared without a trace some time ago. Initially, during the investigation, he even suspected that the Black Organization might have secretly disposed of her.
After all, she had a younger sister who worked as a researcher for the organization. If she was concerned about her, it wouldn't be impossible for them to secretly get rid of the disobedient Akemi Miyano.
But later, after investigating the Black Organization's actions, it was evident that their search efforts were not just perfunctory. It seemed more like someone had actually rescued Akemi Miyano, giving Shuichi Akai some hope.
With this mindset, Shuichi Akai began his investigation, hoping to find Akemi Miyano.
However, before he could make any progress, another major incident occurred within the Black Organization. Akemi Miyano's sister also disappeared.
This even raised the alertness and frenzy within the Black Organization. But even so, the mysterious organization that had rescued the Miyano sisters remained elusive, with no clues to be found.
It was as if they had never existed in the world at all.
For this mysterious, suddenly emerging organization, Shuichi Akai harbored a sense of gratitude. After all, Akemi Miyano's situation probably wouldn't have been too good without this organization suddenly appearing.
This could be understood from Akemi Miyano's involvement in the Billion Yen Robbery Case.
He knew her well. If it weren't for the pressure from members of the Black Organization like Gin, how could that crying woman possibly have done such a thing?
In terms of results, perhaps it saved Akemi Miyano, but along with it came some worries. After all, she had disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know her current situation, which always made him uneasy.
However, when he came to Tokyo and met the girl during the bus hijack case, she gave him a glimmer of hope.
She looked too similar.
The girl bore a striking resemblance to Akemi Miyano, and despite knowing it was unlikely, without any leads, he couldn't help but be reluctant to give up this clue.
After some investigation, they found several unusual aspects about the girl.
This gave him a glimmer of hope.
However, the other side was not without "knights," and now he was even more resolutely refusing his inquiries.
But he had absolute reasons not to give up.
Watching the black GT-R32 ahead accelerating again, Shuichi Akai stepped on the gas pedal and followed directly behind!
The two black phantoms, accompanied by witch-like screams, raced wildly on the road, causing the surrounding vehicles to panic and squeeze towards the sides of the road under the violent speed.
It was like when ordinary people see a tattooed gangster on the street, they don't dare to even touch him, fearing that the next second would bring disaster upon themselves.
But everything has its focus, and nothing is eternal.
If one could observe from above the road, they would notice that the black racing car ahead, roaring like war drums, was now speeding up, while the car closely following behind, although still chasing, was gradually showing signs of fatigue.
Although the gap between the two was not particularly obvious, the difference was gradually widening.
"Is this where it ends?" Shuichi Akai watched as the tail lights vehicle ahead became increasingly dim, and gradually eased off the gas pedal to decelerate.
Since the outcome is already determined, continuing to chase would be futile. It's better to just accept reality.
Moreover, the recent street racing battle between the two of them probably has already caused a commotion.
I don't want to get tangled up with those traffic cops from the Criminal Investigation Division; otherwise, it's as if I've fallen into their hands.
I'm sure they don't mind adding a bit of trouble for me in an upright manner.
As this thought flashed through his mind, the next moment, he heard the urgent sound of police sirens.
"It's time to go."
Shuichi Akai watched as the police cars chased after him in his line of sight. He hit the brakes and turned the steering wheel sharply, causing a screeching friction as the tires peeled off the ground.
The black car spun around 180 degrees and then began accelerating madly without hesitation.
Soon, several police cars, whistling with urgent sirens, began chasing after Shuichi Akai from behind.
"Did we win?" Feeling the car gradually slowing down, Conan turned to Senichi.
Conan had experienced the chase firsthand in the car. It was like the tip of a needle against the sharp edge of a blade, neither yielding an inch.
The sudden incidents on the road made Conan's heart pound with fear, fearing that one careless move would result in a catastrophic accident.
Senichi gradually gained an advantage only when he accelerated again. Now that the chase was finally over, Conan, who had regained his composure, realized that his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
"Of course, we won." Senichi's expression was calm, showing no surprise at the outcome. "If I didn't have full confidence in shaking him off completely, why would I resort to this method?
Your plan only works when the other party is unprepared and still cautious about tracking. If he's determined to track you and has the driving skills, he won't lose you."
At Senichi's words, Conan's face darkened, but he didn't say much.
After all, judging from the other party's previous performance when he already knew that he was exposed and still blatantly following their car, his plan probably won't shake off someone with such excellent driving skills.
But your plan isn't really a plan at all! It's just relying on brute force!
If I had your driving skills, I wouldn't bother with any tricks, I'd just drive recklessly.
Conan grumbled inwardly with some resentment.
