Chapter 615

FBI Tokyo branch, several people were holding a meeting.

"Akai Shuichi, headquarters sent a message saying they are very dissatisfied with Vermouth's escape this time. Tomorrow you come back with me, and explain the detailed situation to the top brass."

James turned his head to look at Jodie, and after a long while, said in a deep voice: "I'll leave Tokyo's affairs to Jodie."

"Okay." Jodie's expression was indifferent, and she nodded in agreement.

The meeting adjourned, and Jodie walked out of the conference room with a graceful gait.

Just as she passed the corner, Akai Shuichi called out to her.

"Jodie, where... did you go last night?"

There was an indescribable expression on Akai Shuichi's face.

"Why? Why are you asking me this?"

Jodie turned back, looking at the other party through her black-rimmed glasses.

Akai Shuichi hesitated for a while and said: "Only a few of us knew the route to escort Vermouth, so I was wondering if..."

"What, you suspect I leaked the secret?"

Jodie looked at her former boyfriend and felt very strange.

Once they trusted each other and could live and die together, but now it had reached the point of suspicion.

Akai Shuichi moved his gaze away unconsciously.

But he still said: "I asked people at the branch; you left shortly after we set off, and Vermouth's escape process was very eerie. If no one had helped, it would have been impossible..."

"So you suspect me?"

A wave of indescribable disappointment surged in Jodie's heart.

"Have you forgotten my hatred for the Black Organization?"

There were faint tears in the woman's eyes.

Akai Shuichi didn't dare look into her eyes, only saying gently: "People always change..."

Jodie shook her head, her short golden hair shining brightly in the sunset.

A few tears flew out of the corners of her eyes with this shake.

She suddenly smiled, looked at Akai Shuichi, and said: "I know you want to find out who leaked the secret, but you asked the wrong person; I was with Chi Chufeng-sama last night."

"That Onmyoji? What were you doing with him?"

Akai Shuichi widened his eyes in surprise.

Jodie opened her red lips wanting to say something; the madness of last night suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but blush slightly.

She had only wanted to brush it off at first, but that man seemed to have magical powers that made her unable to stop.

Seeing the bashful expression that had never appeared on Jodie's face before, Akai Shuichi felt his heart sink for some reason.

"You, are you with him? No way, right?"

Jodie smiled slightly, raised her index finger to her red lips, and said in a strange tone:

"This is a secret; a secret makes a woman more beautiful!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left resolutely, leaving behind only a free and graceful back.

Watching her back, Akai Shuichi couldn't help but cover his chest.

Damn it, why is there a feeling of heartache?

"No need to investigate her."

James's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Why?" Akai Shuichi turned back.

"You should know that we have always had people watching the Onmyoji's residence. Jodie did indeed go to his place yesterday... and didn't leave until dawn."

James said gloomily.

Akai Shuichi felt a bit sweet in his mouth, and his chest felt blocked to death.

"She, it must be because of something else. Right, she handled the aftermath of the Ferris wheel incident; it must be because of this that she went to ask Chi Chufeng..."

Akai Shuichi didn't even believe his own words.

A man and a woman, locked in a room in the middle of the night talking about a case, and talking all night long; only a ghost would believe that.

"Right, did the surveillance personnel find anything else, like someone coming in or out?"

Akai Shuichi wanted to find some evidence to support his not-at-all-reasonable judgment.

James looked at him with a strange gaze, hesitated, and said: "According to the surveillance personnel's report, when Jodie left the Onmyoji's residence in the morning, her body seemed a bit uncomfortable."

"Didn't you notice just now? Her legs seemed a bit weak..."

Pfft.

A light sound rang out from the side.

James turned his head to look and was shocked.

"Not good, call the medical staff quickly; Akai is vomiting blood."

Jodie left the FBI branch building and sped all the way to Chi Chufeng's house.

As soon as she entered the door, she threw herself into Chi Chufeng's arms, her eyes carrying a look of madness.

"Chi Chufeng-san, now I only have you; love me like last night, don't let me have any time to think about anything else."

Looking at her tearful expression, Chi Chufeng felt a wave of pity.

He smiled gently and brushed the short hair by the woman's ear.

"Okay, I will make you forget everything; from now on, your life will only have me!"

Soon, Jodie's frantic shouts and cries rang out in the room.

Opposite, in another room, Vermouth lay on the bed, listening to the sounds outside, the expression on her face constantly changing.
