Before long, a young man in a black suit, with black curly hair and black sunglasses despite the late hour, emerged onto the street near the Convenience Store.
Jiang Xia left his real body at the Convenience Store, switched into Matsuda Jinpei's puppet, adjusted his sunglasses, and began wandering around nearby.
The black car with terrible tailing skills did indeed contain two FBI agents, but Akai Shuichi was not among them.
—Whether this FBI Ace simply enjoyed being a lone wolf or understood the true nature of his teammates, he rarely stayed with his FBI colleagues. Though he made use of the team's strength during operations, he usually drifted silently outside the group on his own.
"Although I didn't see him in person, I have a feeling that for one or two moments just now, I caught the same kind of Killing Intent as Gin's nearby, with a faint hint of Apple Flavor too."
As Jiang Xia mapped out his route, weaving through hidden spots around Toto Film Laboratory and that Apartment Building, he muttered inwardly:
"The sake flavor is because he has always considered Gin his archenemy, so most of his attention is on Gin. The Apple Flavor is because he has been watching Vermouth lately... Come to think of it, this FBI guy is way too distracted. Didn't they agree that his colleague would handle Vermouth while he himself handled Uzo?"
Beside him, the Ghosts sensed their Spirit Medium Master's resentment and deeply understood it. Akai Shuichi's Killing Intent was exceptionally special: whoever he was focusing on would cause him to emit that person's corresponding flavor of Killing Intent.
And whenever his attention shifted between any two people with Killing Intent, or when he focused specifically on "Uzo," his Killing Intent would become Colorless Killing Intent—precious Killing Intent
