Chapter 536 - LEGITIMATE BUSINESS (1/2)
The faces of the other heads of the Central Antiterrorism Bureau changed. They looked at Director Yojima with expectation for an explanation. If the current case had caught the attention of Interpol, things were indeed going to become more and more complicated.
”I do not mean that Interpol agents are literally in the CAB right now.” Director Yojima chuckled. ”One of my people just flagged the arrival of Interpol in an airport just outside of the city. It seems that they are travelling under the radar.”
The other heads sighed in relief.. Interpol sent in people to diverse places around the world for different reasons. It was unlikely that the agents were coming because of the Bonnie and Clyde matter. So far, the CAB had kept a tight lid on things.
”There is no need to worry. They are probably coming after another bureau or have an independent case. It is probably not a cause for concern for us.” One department head dismissed Director Yojima with a wave of her hand.
”I would be inclined to agree with you on other occasions, but I have learned about the identity of the lead agent in the team.” He paused. ”It is Agent Kristian Larsen.”
The other six people in the room showed blank faces. They received reports about the cases undertaken in the CAB and the general ministry of defence, but they were not involved in scouring for information like the information department.
Therefore, they would not remember the name of an Interpol agent.
Director Yojima was frustrated by the lack of reaction from his colleagues. He had used a dramatic pause for nothing.
”Agent Larsen has some history with Kaito. I found out about it when I was in charge of monitoring the activities of the mercenaries for a short period. The clash between them was not direct or explosive. However, from what I learned, Agent Larsen tried to get Interpol to issue an arrest warrant for Kaito.” He explained.
”In essence, Kristen Larsen has always been very interested in all cases involving the Shadow Brotherhood and Kaito. I am not sure what happened between them, but if that agent is in the country, he has probably caught wind of our case.”
”That is just pure conjecture. We confirmed that the threat from the chatroom was from the real Bonnie and Clyde just a few hours ago, and we have only confirmed that the two people are connected to the Shadow Brotherhood. I do not believe that Interpol moved this fast.” The law depart head said.
Director Yojima thought about the situation. He did not look down on himself or his staff members. However, he knew that it would have taken much longer to find that connection without the help of that young woman who was brought in by the minister.
Speaking of which, he needed to apologise for his earlier behaviour. His eyes drifted to his comrade from the security department. He was the one who told him some nonsense about Yamazaki Akira. If he knew her capabilities, he would have treated her like a god.
”You can believe whatever you like. It is not like it will affect my work anyway. But mark my words, Interpol is here for this case. Prepare yourselves and focus on your tasks. If that bomb blows up, this will be an international case. We are running out of time.” Director Yojima said before leaving the room.
While these heads were leaving the conference room, Director Deguchi had already left the bureau with the elites of his strike team. He meant to take down Kaito and everyone around him in one fell swoop. He could not give up the great opportunity before him.
