Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: A Detective Finds a Detective

U.K. Intelligence Headquarters

"Chief, why did you ask me to keep an eye on the Japanese Intelligence Agency?" Andrew asked, his voice steady but curious.

The Chief leaned forward, eyes narrowed. "Because, Andrew, for the past few days, their actions have seemed... suspicious. We suspect they might be plotting something against us."

Andrew's expression sharpened. "You want me to confirm if they truly are making a move against us?"

"Exactly," the Chief replied. "If they are, they'll pay the price. But if not, then there's nothing to worry about."

"I understand, Chief. I swear, I'll find out the truth. I'll call you once I have intel."

"Good. Stay sharp, Andrew."

Chief Secretary – U.K. Intelligence Agency

"I just hope you're not planning something foolish… Japanese Intelligence."

Japanese Intelligence Headquarters

Time: 10:40 AM

"There's one more thing, Aspect," the Chief said.

"What is it?" Aspect replied, adjusting his black gloves.

"We've received information that our rival country has deployed their top detective to spy on us. And remember—your mission is to capture him alive."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that," Aspect smirked. "I'll find him… and I promise to bring him in breathing."

"I trust you, Aspect. You've never failed before."

"I won't start now," Aspect said. "One question though… are you absolutely sure he's in Tokyo?"

"Yes. That's confirmed. Our intel says he's already here. And remember—the main HQ of the Japanese Intelligence Agency is in Tokyo. The one we're standing in right now."

"Understood, Chief. I'm on it."

If he's truly in Tokyo… then it shouldn't take me more than 25 minutes to locate him—and 5 minutes to capture him alive. My speed, flexibility, strength, precision—nearly everything is perfect.

But still… no overconfidence, Aspect. Stay calm. Analyze. Execute.

Tokyo – Streets, Tourist Spots, Stations

Let's start with all major areas—tourist zones, train stations, transport hubs, airports.

His identity will be slightly suspicious… he's a detective after all. But I won't waste time checking IDs. I'll read his body language… his eye movement. That's enough.

There… no, not him.

That one? No.

Another one? Still no. Not here, not there, not even at the airport.

Wait… who's sitting in that park?

A black cap. White mask. Simple T-shirt. Eyes scanning. Posture… composed, but cautious. That body language…
