Hanson Hoover was very cooperative with other people's investigations. Not only did he voluntarily hand over his cell phone and explain his itinerary for the past few days, he also honestly returned to his residence where surveillance was installed after being searched without any resistance.
Surveillance video showed that he returned to the room at around 4 p.m., his expression was very natural, and he did not seem to be thinking about anything. But at 6 p.m., he suddenly returned to the bedroom and took out the pistol he had hidden there from the gap in the bed.
He shot directly at the temple.
The incident happened so suddenly that the people behind the surveillance had no time to stop it and could only notify others immediately.
"..."
Akai Shuichi was silent, his brows furrowing uncontrollably.
He rewatched the scene from when Hoover entered the bedroom to when he fired the gun several times. This was indeed a suicide. There was no one else around him at the time of the incident, and no one was in contact with him. His cell phone was still in the hands of the technician.
I restored previously deleted information and found no unusual call records or emails.
Shuichi Akai has seen many videos of people who committed suicide. Very few people die without hesitation. Most of them will go through repeated psychological struggles——
People who want to jump off the building will stand and wander on the edge of the roof, people who want to take poison will stare at the medicine bottle and water glass in a daze, and people who want to commit suicide with a gun will tremble uncontrollably with their hands holding the gun... This is normal, normal people.
They are all afraid of death, especially when they are seeking death themselves.
Hoover died too simply, without any fear of death, as if a fanatic accepted his God's order to die.
Shuichi Akai lit another cigarette. He did not call Judy or James. He controlled the mouse a few times and clicked on a file.
The face on this file is his, and his name is Morohoshida. This is the Japanese identity prepared for him by the FBI.
Although he is considered a Japanese by blood - his father is Japanese and his mother is of mixed English and Japanese descent - he was born in the UK, spent several years in Japan as a teenager, and then went to the United States to study and get a green card. He himself is not at all
Japanese citizens who can speak Japanese but are not familiar with Japan.
The foundation of the black organization is in Japan. If intelligence agencies from other countries want to send undercover agents to sneak into the base camp, they will give priority to finding people from Japanese or mixed-race agents, and then give them a suitable Japanese identity.
He didn't know how the CIA did it. The method the FBI came up with was not forgery, but substitution.
——Find a certain undercover person who came from Japan to the United States, and then go to Japan as his identity and enter the organization.
Rather than fabricating a person out of thin air whose past experience cannot withstand investigation, and finding a way to insert his identity information into the Japanese national information database, impersonation is also a good method.
The biggest flaw of this method is that it will be exposed when you meet an acquaintance, so you have to find someone with easy interpersonal communication. The FBI searched for several years before they found a suitable candidate.
Zhu Xingda's mother died when he was in elementary school, and his father owed usury to an illegal organization for treating her illness. He has been wandering around with his father since graduating from elementary school to avoid debts, and rarely stays in one place for more than two months. People who know him
There are not many people.
When he became an adult, his father asked him to go to the United States to live with his uncle. As a result, all his luggage, including his passport, was stolen at the airport. He had difficulty communicating in English and was unable to seek help from airport personnel or the police. His uncle originally thought he was a drag.
Ping wanted to get rid of him and did not go to the airport to pick him up, causing him to become a gangster and end up on the street.
The FBI was able to find him because he successfully found his uncle's home after several years of wandering, and there happened to be an FBI agent living next door to his uncle who was friends with James. After hearing his account, the agent realized
Seeing this as a good opportunity, I immediately contacted James.
The FBI helped him solve the undercover problem, and also applied for him a suitable residence and a job that would allow him to survive. As a price, he had to change his name, and at the same time, he was unable to return to Japan to visit relatives in these years.
What happened after that was very simple. The FBI asked technicians to replace the photo of Morohoshi in the Japanese national information database, and then contacted the Immigration Bureau to find Shuichi Akai, "sent him back to the country" and asked him to leave a record in the relevant files of the Immigration Bureau.
After that, other people from the FBI also came to Japan. In addition to keeping an eye on Miyano Akemi, who was connected to the target person, they also had another task: to find the real Morohoshi's father, and preferably to persuade him to go to the United States and
The son is reunited so that Akai Shuichi's false identity will be safer.
The results of the investigation were surprising. Just after he learned that Miyano Akemi went to Hokkaido with her classmates, colleagues also sent news: Morohoshi's father was also there.
The two relevant people were both in Hokkaido, so Shuichi Akai naturally left Tokyo and came to this island at the northernmost tip of Japan alone.
Then when others arrived here, they didn't come into contact with either of them, and the FBI who stayed in Tokyo got into such big trouble.
Akai Shuichi browsed Morohoshi's information, closed it silently, and opened another information: Gray Crow's resume.
It’s quite amazing. He was admitted to MIT at the age of nine and represented the school in computer competitions. While in school, he published many papers on information security and artificial intelligence. He was evaluated by the media as “If I continue to study in this field, I will become the best.”
Young winner of the Dühring Prize".
Talents are welcome no matter where they are. Shuichi Akai once heard a rumor told to him by a colleague that Thomas Sindora, the president of Syndora Company, an American IT giant, once intended to pursue his adoptive mother. It had nothing to do with love.
He wanted to obtain legal custody of Gray Crow in this way.
He is now fourteen years old, and the photo posted on his resume is still a photo taken when he first entered school at the age of nine. His left eye is covered by bangs, and his crimson right eye is looking forward quietly. He is obviously very cute, but his expression is dull.
Yes, I don’t know what he is thinking.
Akai Shuichi looked at this photo and thought of the ogre incident that happened that year, in which Gray Crow was also involved. Because of his fierce eyes, he was obviously one of the persons in charge of the case, but he was collectively ignored by the female colleagues at the time.
He was not allowed to approach the child... Fortunately, they did not meet at that time, otherwise he would not have been able to accept this undercover mission.
His cell phone on the table rang again. He glanced at the name on it and picked it up directly: "What's wrong, Judy?"
"The negotiations with James failed. We will return to the United States in three days, and you have to stay in Japan alone." Judy's voice could not hide the worry, "But don't worry about one thing, we have not exposed our true purpose.
, people in CIA didn’t know that we were also investigating the organization, and they thought we came to Japan as suspects in an ordinary terrorist attack case.”
Akai Shuichi listened quietly. It's not surprising. It was so ugly this time... No, even if this incident hadn't happened, the FBI would not have told the CIA the real target and the organization's existing information, and vice versa.
.
"...Are you still planning to get close to Miyano Akemi and rely on her to enter the organization?" Judy asked hesitantly.
She is about to leave Japan, and her boyfriend is going to get close to a good-looking woman. It would be strange not to worry. The United States is open in some aspects, but it is not so open that it would not be a big deal even if there is green on the top of the head.
Akai Shuichi stared at the picture of Gray Crow on the screen. He knew what Judy was worried about, but he thought it was another person.
