Mr. Akai Missed Gin

"An on-location interview?"

"Wasn't the interview already over? Why do we need to go on location?"

"It's like this, Mr. Lin."

"The interview with the Forensics Division has indeed concluded."

"But we'd also like to film some footage of you personally working hard at a crime scene, as supplementary promotional material."

"I'm willing to cooperate with that."

"But there isn't a case right now. Where would we get a crime scene?"

"That's not a problem."

"We weren't planning to interview you at an actual crime scene—that would interfere with your work and your colleagues' work, wouldn't it?"

"It's only promotional footage. We just need to find a suitable location and stage it."

"And we've already prepared all the props needed for the location shoot."

Mizunashi Rena explained this earnestly to Officer Lin standing before her.

And she was not lying.

The special program planned by Nichiuri TV did indeed include an on-location shoot.

But that was only part of the truth.

In fact, the on-location segment was entirely optional. Whether to film it or not was completely up to Mizunashi Rena, the host.

After obtaining important material from the K9 Unit, the research lab, and the old case review project, she had not intended to shoot any unnecessary on-location scenes.

But now, she had changed her mind.

Because it was Gin's order.

Gin had ordered her to use the interview as a pretext to lure both Lin Xinyi and Mouri Ran out of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

And he had specifically emphasized that it would be best to take them somewhere sparsely populated, somewhere convenient for making a move.

Just so happened...

Mizunashi Rena and the CIA also wanted Gin to go somewhere like that.

Otherwise, if the CIA and The Black Organization started a full-scale battle at Tokyo
