[Toru Amuro] Those years when I worked at Poirot

"What's the matter, James? Calling us here with such urgency."

Judy looked around Nuo Da's living room, and asked a little puzzled.

In Chaoyang’s living room, there are about a dozen colleagues. Some of them came to Japan to track the organization together. She is familiar with it. The other ones are probably sent by the US headquarters. They are very unfamiliar, but she is sure that they are also from the FBI. All have the same breath.

The Japanese companions were all full of doubts like her, but those in the headquarters were full of solemnity and exhaustion.

It's as if they've all been picked out of bed and flown over half the world to come here on an emergency mission.

"Yeah, it's the first time we've met on such a large scale since the Rena Minzuna incident." Cameron echoed in agreement.

This is the mansion of their boss, James Black, in Japan. It is located in the suburbs. There may not be as many people passing by the house in a month as there are people in the house at the moment.

James coughed lightly, glanced around, and finally landed on a 28-year-old blond man.

It was a handsome man with a slightly darker complexion and his body was as tight as a whip. He was very conspicuous in a group of people. Judy noticed him the first time he entered the door.He was silent and stood against the wall with almost no expression. His casual clothes and patent leather Martin boots made him look out of place.

The man responded to James' gaze, walked out of the crowd slowly, and stood beside Judy and Cameron.

"Hello, my name is Gene McGregor, and I'm from the headquarters. From now on, we need your assistance. Well, according to Japanese habits, please take care of me in the future."

He looked a bit rebellious, but he still spoke very gently and carefully.There are two faint lines under his eyes, which made his originally frivolous appearance a little more stable.

Judy seemed to remember something, she blinked, and looked at Cameron, who seemed to remember the same thing.

"That's right, they are the subordinates of the famous Mr. Palmer." Gene smiled lightly and said what they thought.

"Mr. Palmer and I have worked together before," James said. "He used to be the FBI's number one ace and a respected boss. If he is still alive, he should be the same age as me. It's a pity that something like that happened. "

"We learned that Gloria is currently in Japan, so I hope that you who are familiar with Japan can help us." Gene ignored James' remembrance, and said the purpose of the trip straight to the point.

"Gloria is the female killer who committed countless murders, right? I've heard her name before, she's an almost perverted lunatic." Judy searched in her memory. At that time, the FBI set up a special task force composed of several elites. , in order to bring that ferocious and cunning woman to justice, but she is quite cunning and has extremely high anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Five years have passed, and she can only catch a trace of trouble, but not even her shadow.

And the most notorious case she committed was the extermination of four members of the former FBI investigator Charlie Palmer's family.

Judy still clearly remembers the public opinion caused by this homicide and the social panic caused by the murderer's delay in being arrested.

Because it is too cruel.

Mr. Palmer, who was only 47 years old, retired early because of health problems. He lived in seclusion in a picturesque town in Ohio with his wife Sally and their twin sons.One morning, the postman who delivered the letter found that their family of four had been killed at home. The two children who were only 9 years old were covered with marks of gouging out with knives. They were apparently killed after being brutally abused. The wife was tied up in a The chair was burned to charcoal alive, while Mr. Palmer was shot in the head.

Strangely, he had no other marks on his body other than the scrapes from his own struggle.It can be said that he was the one who died most happily.

It is said that the unlucky postman almost had a nervous breakdown after receiving psychological counseling for a year.He described the scene as hell.

The details of this case are very cryptic. The authorities seem to have deliberately concealed something. The murderer was also described as a schizophrenic lunatic. She had just joined the FBI at the time and only performed some simple tasks. She paid special attention to this case for a while. Later, public opinion gradually subsided, new cases emerged one after another, and the media quickly shifted their targets, so the case was listed as one of the many unsolved cases.

"This Gloria is the real murderer of Mr. Palmer's family." As if seeing through her thoughts, Gene explained in a calm tone, "Of course, this cannot be made public, because we need to work together, so It's important to reveal it to you, but keep it private."

"I don't understand, why not disclose the fact that she is the murderer?" Cameron asked.

Gene took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out one, lit it, and asked in his mouth:

"Do you know why that woman is so hard to catch?"

Cameron and Judy looked at each other, and Judy replied: "Because the anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong?"

Gene spit out a blue smoke ring: "Yes, it's a mess. And sometimes she takes pleasure in teasing the police and the FBI."

Judy: "Did she receive special training to understand our behavior patterns so well, and play us in the palm of her hand this time?"

Gene smiled bitterly, raised his gaze, and stared straight at Judy with gray-blue eyes: "Because she used to be an elite investigator of the FBI."

Judy was so shocked that she didn't respond for a while, and Cameron was also shocked.

"At only 23 years old, he has been promoted all the way. Sniping, bomb disposal, and fighting are the top few who do their part. They are unparalleled. Of course, once such a person turns into a killer, he will be like a fish in water."

"Why would such a person—"

"Revenge. Crazy because of resentment, a common cause of female lunatics." Gene snorted disdainfully. Although his tone was calm, Judy could hear the deep hatred in it.

"Then why did she—why kill Mr. Palmer's family?" Judy asked, but she seemed to have guessed the answer.

"Because Mr. Palmer used to be her boss, and because of a mistake in the guidance of actions, she caused irreparable harm to her, and she felt resentful because of this. In addition, that woman was originally a very extreme and strong person. In the previous training, if anyone was better than her, she would try every means to surpass her, and even use very despicable means. It can be said that she is strong because she is strong, but she is also despicable."

It took a long time for the two of them to digest the information.Suddenly, she let out an "ah".

"I remembered that in the case of Mr. Palmer, the murderer first tortured and killed his two children, then burned his wife to death. During this period, Mr. Palmer watched in pain, and finally shot him to death. Him. This is obviously an act of revenge!"

"That's right, she just wanted her former boss to understand her despair. That crazy woman."

Gene snuffed out the cigarette with his hands and threw it into the trash can behind him.
