Chapter 290

He looked at Ryu Terui and said vaguely: "When Shroud joined the Metropolitan Police as a technical consultant, wasn't it guaranteed by Section Chief Terui?

"Next, as long as Section Chief Terui repeats the guarantee behavior again, it should be fine, right?"

Shiraishi advanced the discussion.

After hearing Shiraishi's words, everyone also looked at Terui Ryu who was standing there silently.

Officer Akutsu remained silent.

【As expected. 】

[After all, Shroud was able to join the Metropolitan Police Department as a technical consultant and temporarily stay in the Metropolitan Police Department because of the approval of Terui Ryu. 】

[It’s just that it was Terui Ryu who had the final word on this matter based on his status and authority as section chief, and did not provide any additional explanation on this matter. 】

[Nowadays, it is normal for someone to ask Terui Ryu to vouch for Shroud again. 】

[However, this has no impact on my plan. 】

[Even if Terui Ryuuma makes the so-called guarantee again, it will have no impact at all. 】

[After all, the suspicion that has been planted cannot be eradicated by just a so-called guarantee. 】

[Terui Ryu’s so-called guarantee can probably only be passed in our so-called [internal meeting]. 】

[The investigation team composed of the police officers and police officers outside, as well as the two newcomers, probably will not reduce their suspicion of Shroud because of this. 】

[It’s better to say the other way around. 】

[Ryu Terui may be suspected for making this so-called guarantee. 】

【very good. 】

[In this way, the possibility of me being investigated and discovered is further reduced. 】

【very good. 】

【The advantage is mine! 】

At the same time, Shroud also shook his head slightly.

[Make the so-called guarantee again? 】

【As expected. 】

[However, now that things have happened, the so-called re-guarantee is probably just a way to temporarily brush off the topic and let the focus temporarily shift to another person, right? 】

[It is completely impossible to clear the suspects. 】

[However, it is enough. 】

【As long as we can survive the current crisis. 】

[As long as we can survive the immediate crisis, there are too many solutions to subsequent crises. 】

[Maybe it’s time to leave the Metropolitan Police and act like a ghost again...]

【It's just a pity...】

Shroud looked at Shiraishi who was tasting cookies.

[It is really, really regrettable that we cannot continue to cooperate and continue discussions with such talented scientific researchers. 】

[An understanding that is almost ten years ahead of the entire world. 】

【Completely breaks the shackles of vision. 】

[If God exists in the field of scientific research, then Shiraishi must be the person closest to God. 】

Then, Shroud also looked at Terui Ryuu.

[Then, let’s end this farce quickly. 】

Shroud also looked at the door of the Abnormal Event Investigation Division office without leaving any trace.

[After this, it’s almost time to check on Saeko’s status. 】

【And after that...】

[Maybe it’s time to consider leaving. 】

However, to the surprise of both Officer Akutsu and Shroud, Terui Ryu shook his head slightly.

"I can't make a guarantee yet."

He responded.

After hearing Ryu Terui's words, Shroud and Officer Akutsu stared at Ryu Terui.

Terui Ryu looked at Shroud with a fierce look, his sharp gaze seemed to cut open all the coverings Shroud used to hide himself.

The sentiment speaks for itself.

Akutsu frowned slightly.

[Did even Terui Ryuu be induced by my words, so much so that he himself doubted the choice he had made to invite Shroud to join the Metropolitan Police? 】

[Shouldn’t he advance and retreat together with Shroud? 】

[Hasn’t Shroud’s FBI identity Ryu Terui been read over many times before? 】

[Does he really not know Shroud’s identity? 】

[Is Shroud really not the FBI? 】

[This emotion doesn’t seem fake at all. 】

【Could it be...】

For a moment, Officer Akutsu couldn't help but have a crazy idea pop up in his mind.

【Could it be...】

[Did I guess it right by fucking chance? 】

Immediately afterwards, boundless terror struck.

【Wait a moment......】

[If Shroud is also a spy for the museum, or a spy for Consortium X, the situation will become more and more complicated. 】

Officer Akutsu was sweating on his forehead.

Drenched in sweat.

[Whose interests does Shroud represent? 】

【museum? 】

[No, I think it’s most likely Consortium X. 】

[In this way, what kind of cooperative relationship is the so-called cooperative relationship between Foundation X and the museum? 】

[Now that things have happened, is Consortium X involved in everything that happened in the Fengdu Police Department? 】

[Ms. Taboo’s abnormality just now, could it be because she betrayed the museum and chose Consortium X? 】

[Wait a minute, wait a minute...]

In an instant, countless thoughts spewed out of Officer Akutsu's mind, and his body began to tremble slightly and imperceptibly.

At the same time, Shroud also frowned slightly.

【Terui Ryu...】

【Are you going to betray me at this time? 】

Thinking of this, Shroud's hands hidden in his coat pockets also moved covertly.

She also has a few gadgets like stag beetle cell phones and bat cameras.

After all, the gadgets used by Kamen Rider W were entirely designed by her.

In addition, Shroud also designed armed firearms such as skull melin guns and trigger melin guns for himself.

Shroud's blunderbuss[1].

A firearm similar to, but different from, a trigger-loaded Melin gun.

Even Shroud, who cannot use Gaia memory to wear armor, can still use special firearms that can be used to deal with dopants and Kamen Riders.

Combined with the Bomb memory, Shroud can even use Shroud's blunderbuss to launch powerful attacks like Maximum Drive, a finishing move.

With these tools, Shroud can try to violently escape the police's pursuit.

As long as everyone's attention is not on her for a moment, it is enough.

Then, Shroud looked at Terui Ryu, and she said in an indifferent tone: "Can't guarantee?"

Terui Ryuu, on the other hand, stared at Shroud.

"No guarantee."

There was clear emotion in Terui Ryu's eyes.

Now almost everyone present can read Terui Ryu's emotions from his eyes.

It seemed that Ryu Terui was really moved by Officer Akutsu's words and began to suspect Shroud.

Shiraishi, who was listening to everyone's hearts, pulled down the brim of his hat to hide his expression at the moment.

The reversal has begun.

450-Confidential Conversation (Two in One)

After a moment, Shiraishi raised his head again, shook his head slightly, and then said slowly in a relatively soft and quiet voice: "Since you are all members of the task force, you should be more rigorous in your words.

“To be precise, it shouldn’t be [cannot guarantee], but [[temporarily] cannot guarantee], right?

"That's what Section Chief Terui said just now, right?"

Terui Ryu glanced at Shiraishi.

"Indeed."

Shiraishi showed a satisfied smile.

He nodded slightly.

The conversation between Shiraishi and Terui Ryu slightly relieved the extremely depressing and tense atmosphere in the office of the Fudu Metropolitan Police Department's Abnormal Incident Investigation Section.

Shiraishi's words always seem to have such magic power.

As long as you can hear his voice, you can always feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

Then, Shiraishi also spread his hands: "Since Section Chief Terui said this, it means that there is still some room for change in this matter, right?

"Section Chief Terui feels unconfident about the guarantee he once gave, probably because he has realized some doubts that are currently uncertain?"

Shiraishi held out a finger.

"That being the case...

"Then go and make sure."

Shiraishi walked back to his work station and said: "Determine what the doubts in your heart are, and then make the final decision based on the answers provided by the other party.

“That’s good.

“There is no way to solve any problem just by simply doubting it. Only actions like [investigation] can solve all problems from the root.

“Suspicion should be followed by investigation, rather than endlessly imposing arbitrary clues on conclusions.

"This is the right solution."

Then, Shiraishi looked at Shroud.

"And if Ms. Shroud wants to control the scope of dissemination of her relevant information, then she can just communicate in a [confidential conversation].

"Confidential one-on-one conversation with Section Chief Terui.

"Even if you are a secret agent of the FBI, if you want to gain access to the Fengdu Metropolitan Police Department, you should at least fully prove your identity and credibility to key people, right?"

Then, Shiraishi looked at Terui Ryu again.

"So......
