Chapter 757 The Value of Undercover
Ariane was startled: "What?"
Judy was confused at the same time: "What did I tell him?"
Hidetoshi Akai lit a cigarette and held it between his fingers. The smoke drifted out of the window along the airflow. He had a habit of smoking, but rarely did so in front of Judy.
Xiu was angry.
Judy came to this conclusion immediately.
In other words, Akai Shuichi's current state is more irritable than angry.
But she did not reveal information to Ariane that he could not know...wait, is that the case?
"Your plan this time is good." Akai Shuichi said, "Domon Yasuki has always been hostile to the FBI, and we can't help him directly, so you use detectives to help from the side. But there is a fatal problem with this plan."
"What's the problem?" Ariane asked.
He thought his plan was perfect, and the facts proved it. Why was Mr. Akai still dissatisfied?
"It's intelligence." Judy pointed out for Akai Shuichi, "All the sources of intelligence for this plan are the conversations between Mescal and Kiel. If their contact was more cautious, if they all used code names, if they kept using emails Contact and your plan will fail.”
Ariane was silent, while Akai Shuichi's expression remained unchanged.
Judy continued: "As a crucial part of this plan, there are too many variables in Mescal and Kiel. You are an FBI agent. It is impossible not to know the risks of doing this, but you are very Confidence, this means that someone with knowledge must have provided help, at least he told you that Mescal and Kiel would communicate using mobile phones.”
"that is because……"
"But I don't understand." Judy interrupted Ariane's rebuttal. She looked at Akai Shuichi, "It is true that I told Ariane that Asano Nobuhige might be an undercover agent. Is there any problem with this? Even if He is not an undercover agent, and we have no losses. And it is precisely because Ariane mastered this piece of information that he was able to cooperate with Asano Nobushige and successfully save Domon Yasutei, isn't it?"
Ariane immediately agreed: "Yes, now we can confirm the identity of Asano Nobushige, and he will be able to provide us with more help in the future..."
"That's it." Akai Shuichi said coldly, his tone even a little harsh, "The so-called undercovers mean that they cannot be known to anyone. Once their identities are exposed, they will lose their value."
"Xiu..." Judy looked at him worriedly, "Are you okay?"
She had known Shuichi Akai since he first came to the United States. She knew everything about how this man became an undercover agent, what he endured, and how he managed to get to where he is now.
Not everyone can be like him and be lucky enough to evacuate the organization after his identity is exposed.
Akai Shuyi felt sympathy for Asano Nobuge, who was also an undercover agent. He would not allow that person to take risks because of his subordinate's actions. The more he confirmed his identity, the less he could use him.
Ariane pursed her lips in annoyance: "I'm sorry, Mr. Akai. My sister is also an undercover agent. You know I didn't mean to put Asano Nobushige in danger. After today, I will forget his identity and forget that I ever told him If so, don’t worry.”
Akai Shuichi took a deep look at Ariane. He said nothing and just started the car silently.
Perhaps Ariane is still sane now. Once he learns that Asano Nobushige is Mescal, the murderer he believes to have killed his sister, all his considerations and understanding will be shattered in an instant. At that time, Ariane may become Asano's biggest threat.
Akai Shuichi sent Ariane Swann to his temporary residence. Ariane went upstairs, and he and Judy were the only two people left in the car.
Judy hesitated, not knowing what to say to break the dull atmosphere.
"Let Swan return to the United States." Shuichi Akai said calmly.
Judy looked embarrassed: "He can't be willing to go back. He asked to be transferred to Japan just to investigate the organization. The organization has not been destroyed yet, Ariane..."
"It's very possible that Asano Nobushige is mezcal."
Judy was stunned: "What?"
Akai Shuichi originally did not want to tell Judy before confirming, but it was precisely because of Judy's half-knowledge that she made her own decision, which led to the current bad situation. Akai Shuichi hoped that Judy could at least help him throw Ariane back to the United States.
"According to our intelligence, there are currently only a few code members sent by the organization to Japan, and among them, the most likely person to play Takayanagi Chizuru is Mescal." Akai Shuichi said, "This time Swann's plan has made I confirmed his identity."
From the first encounter with Mezcal in the United States, Akai Shuichi always felt that there was some kind of violation in that person, and now, all the abnormalities seemed to have been explained.
Judy's face suddenly turned ugly: "How could this happen... Mescal is actually an undercover agent, so why did he kill Ariane's sister?"
The corners of Akai Shuichi's lips curved into a mocking arc: "It was Mescal who shot, but he may not be the murderer."
What's more, the options for undercover agents have always been pitiful. When Shuichi Akai was still a senior at Morohoshi, he inevitably performed several missions that he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
A person who is timid and hesitant cannot become an undercover agent.
They have to make a choice between righteousness and selfishness. They have to always calculate the profit-loss ratio and put the country's interests first.
At this point, Scotland did a good job. He committed suicide in order to protect his family and his lurking companions. Mezcal isn't bad either, choosing to take a shot at Carignan to preserve his identity.
Most people didn't pay attention to the process. The person who fired the shot was the mezcal. In the end, the carignan died. In the eyes of many people who don't know the truth, he is a murderer.
Ariane hated mezcal, and he was right, and so was mezcal.
"Let him return to the United States." Akai Shuichi said again.
At this time, Judy had lost her will to refute. She opened her mouth slightly, her face full of shock and weakness.
"Okay." Judy sighed deeply, "I will apply to the headquarters."
If she had known that Asano Nobushige was Mescal, she would never have told Ariane about it. It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world. All she can do is to minimize the possibility of conflict.
"It's just..." Judy had a question, "Asano Nobushige doesn't know that Ariane is Carignan's younger brother, right? If he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree to cooperate with Ariane at all."
Akai Shuichi shook his head.
On the contrary, he felt that one of the reasons why the man agreed to cooperate was because Ariane was Carignan's younger brother.
