Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

Chapter 396. 395. "Upright" Black
When Zong Takuya explained the situation to Mundell, he immediately asked James Blake, who was waiting in the conference room, to his office.

When Mundell saw James Black for the first time, although he didn't speak, there was a clear meaning in his eyes.

How the hell did you come so fast? !
James Blake understood Mundell's eyes, and secretly groaned in his heart.

Does he dare to come slowly?

Besides, he didn't expect Zong Tuozai, a young man, to be so ignorant of martial arts at the beginning, not only did he not give him, an old American comrade, any face.

He even pulled out the bottom line and called Ambassador Mundell directly.

With the current situation, Zong Takuya didn't mind adding fuel to the flames at all, he spread his hands and said to the two simply: "The current situation is like this.

The two are now at odds with each other. Ambassador Mundell said that the foreigners who appeared in the Twin Towers skyscrapers were pretended by malicious people.

But Director Black said that they were all official agents of the FBI, and even brought proof of their identities. "

"I think there may be some misunderstandings, why don't we three parties have an open and honest chat?"

'What a misunderstanding! '

Mundell and James Blake, who had ugly faces, spat in unison in their hearts, and now the situation is very clear, it is Zong Takuya who grabbed their painful feet.

Now I'm thinking about how to make a price.

Although the situation is a bit passive for Mundell, this old politician who continues to play other positions after resigning from a high domestic position is clearly aware of an opportunity.

That is, if he can handle the FBI operations director in front of him, there may be a turning point for this matter.

Although there are also some costs to be paid, it is better than the original "land cession compensation".

"Mr. Black? As far as I know, the mainland should not have deployed any operations in Japan, so who sent you here?
Rest assured, if you are worried about retaliation by the forces behind you, I will help you apply for the witness protection program after you tell the truth. "

James Black, the FBI's director of operations, was all too familiar with what Mundell called the witness protection program.

The original purpose of the Witness Protection Program was to protect witnesses from personal injury when they testified in court. Of course, in practice, the FBI will also make great profits for some vacillating "witnesses".

James Blake caught some hidden elements in Mundell's words.

As long as he pours dirty water on other European and American countries now to make everyone face a little better, he will get a promise from the former vice president ambassador.

After the incident, he could "evaporate" and change his name and surname, and then he would get a decent compensation.

So what is the price?

The price is that the detectives who died because of his order will forever lose their identities, their families will not receive any compensation, and those who are still alive will be wronged and imprisoned.

For James Black, this price is not an option worth tangling.

The five agents who were killed by gin before had proved that the lives of agents working under him were sometimes just numbers.

If he can really exchange for the wealth of the second half of his life, he will not have any psychological burden to sell it.

But at this time, James Black couldn't bargain with Mondale in the presence of Zong Takuya.

As for initiating a private chat invitation, that's even more impossible.

With Zong Takuya's shrewdness, he would never let the two of them out of sight to reach a deal.

In addition, James is very clear that under such circumstances, the politicians' empty promises cannot be trusted at all. The two parties have no basis for trust. He insisted on their identities and retired early after returning to the mainland.

He didn't act privately when he brought people to Japan, at most he was incompetent.

But if he admits to other identities, if Mundell is ready to break his promise, it goes without saying how miserable he will be in the second half of his life.

The street full of homeless people is probably his final destination.

Should I give up my generous pension to fight for unknown wealth, or leave the last bit of decency for myself and make others a headache.

This doesn't seem to be a choice that needs to be tangled up.

Thinking of this, James looked directly into Mundell's eyes with a full face and said firmly: "I am the operations director of the FBI's mission, and our investigation this time has been authorized by the superior and filed.

These detectives who died in the twin tower skyscrapers of Nishitama City are heroes in the fight against terrorism.

It was my poor command that caused the failure of this mission. I will report back to my superiors and accept all investigations.

But there is nothing wrong with our identities, and I can submit more evidence. "

Compared with Mundell, who is about to lose his temper, James Black now looks more like a staunch fighter: "If Mr. Ambassador has any doubts about my identity, you can always confirm with the local headquarters."

Just, just tough.

After making a choice, James Blake didn't look forward and backward. He would offend others anyway, so he simply stood firm.

People at both ends of the first mouse never end well.

MD, bad luck!
Mundell almost felt sick when he looked at the upright James in front of him.

It’s all right for James Blake to deceive other people in this way, who is disgusting by putting on this righteous look?

When the five FBI agents were found at the murder scene last time, this James was not like this.

Mundell understands James' choice, and also knows that there is obviously no room for maneuver when things have developed to this point.

All he can pray for now is to hope that Zong Takuya's asking price will be lower.

In this way, it will not appear that he is too incompetent as an ambassador.

"I still need to communicate and verify the identity of Mr. Black, but I would like to express my indignation on behalf of the attack on the twin-tower skyscrapers in West Tama City."

Mundell said to Zong Takuya with a serious face, what he meant was that we admit this matter, now let's talk about the conditions.

The direction of the incident is entirely under Zong Takuya's control. The Metropolitan Police Department did not suffer any losses in the operation of the twin tower skyscrapers. Zong Takuya was naturally happy to negotiate terms with the ambassador.

In normal times, it is basically impossible for a bureaucrat of Zong Takuya's level to talk to an ambassador like Mundell.

James Black was once again invited out by Zong Takuya, and it was impossible to leave the Metropolitan Police Department.

When this guy came to the Metropolitan Police Department, it was like throwing himself into a trap.

At least until the end of the incident, the "unidentified" FBI operations director still needs to stay in the Metropolitan Police Department for a period of time before the benefits of Zong Takuya are obtained.

Of course, the Metropolitan Police Department didn't mean that the hotel didn't have such good accommodation conditions, so it could only feel sorry for the action director and live in a single room for a while.

This kind of treatment including food and accommodation is not necessarily available to ordinary people if they want it~
