(Possible spoilers) Theory about Akai Shuuichi background

[Elixir]

I thought my theory regarding Akai's BO infiltration warrant a separate thread.

Scenario
It was said that various talents are being employed/forced-employed by the organisation, ranging from actress, announcer, scientists to snipers. Then we have Shiho who I believe is one of the main scientists in BO.

By the way things appeared, Akai Shuuichi knows Akemi Miyano is an affiliate of BO, if not a member herself, since he intentionally get involved with her to meet Sherry. Question: how did he know that those two sisters are in BO? Or that Shiho has a great influence inside?

Anyway, Akai definitely wanted to meet Shiho, and possibly worked with her to get deeper into the org. It can be that he only served as a bodyguard but knowing Shiho, she won't agree to it. And BO is a secret organisation, she won't just let her sister's bf know any illegal activities they do there. Not unless, he's a scientist himself or someone who can help her with her research.

Enter Subaru Okiya's Engineering alibi. I had discussed these inside one of the threads. Find it at your own convenience. But basically, I suspect that Akai Shuuichi is an engineering genius that made it to FBI and served in intel gathering with his wiz. He also gained kick-ass skills in sniping and combat.

Some people here discussed how Akai was able to get to the FBI, with a Japanese origin, and estimated the age when he could have joined there, and pointed out the strangeness of joining at such a young age. Maybe this theory can explain that. His intellect is needed for their intel gathering and the rules for FBI eligibility was bypassed for him.

Evidence in the manga shows his skills when he hacked Haibara's messaging system and Kogoro's computer, just to name a few. He might had been the one who installed the cameras around the Kudou mansion. And probably just a bluff, he was keen on meeting Agasa, the main supplier of Conan's tech gadgets, and willing to help on his research.

I know that this is a far-fetched theory. I just patched up things together but I wanna share this with you guys. What do you think?

FBI intel, probably.

Anyway, Akai definitely wanted to meet Shiho, and possibly worked with her to get deeper into the org. It can be that he only served as a bodyguard but knowing Shiho, she won't agree to it. And BO is a secret organisation, she won't just let her sister's bf know any illegal activities they do there. Not unless, he's a scientist himself or someone who can help her with her research.

You are implying things about Shiho, which I don't think were ever said or verified in the manga. Why wouldn't she agree to a bodyguard? Also, even though she was their important scientist, that doesn't really mean she was a decision maker. It's much more likely a lot of decisions were made for her.
Moreover, by the time Akai got around Shiho, he was already an infiltrator, so what does it matter if Akai was her sister's BF? He was already part of the organization.

See, I think it's the other way around. Akai's thing is his exceptional mind and badass skills. The hacking abilities and possible other things he could do are more of additional skills he has, but not his main field of expertise.

Can you link to said discussion? I know this is Gosho's world, but here's a bunch of things the real life FBI requires:

To apply to become an FBI agent, an applicant must be between the ages of 23 and 37. Due to the decision in Robert P. Isabella v. Department of State and Office of Personnel Management, 2008 M.S.P.B. 146, preference-eligible veterans may apply after age 37. In 2009, the Office of Personnel Management issued implementation guidance on the Isabella decision.[58] The applicant must also hold American citizenship, have a clean record, and hold a four-year bachelor's degree.

I was under the impression that Akai became a member through Shiho that's why I said that she couldn't let him know what they're doing. Sorry for the misunderstanding. On the other hand, I also said that it is possible that he worked with her as a bodyguard, but I counted it as less improbable since "I believe" Shiho is a loner and unstrusting of others, and won't want to have someone who follows her around. So, how would Akai use her influence? Maybe it's just a plan after all. Maybe he didn't need it and became renowned without her influence.

But if I were to make someone trust in me and be connected with me, I would show that we share common interests, values, or goal. That's why I thought that Akai uses his background in science to work with Shiho. That's where I thought it's far-fetched.

See, I think it's the other way around. Akai's thing is his exceptional mind and badass skills. The hacking abilities and possible other things he could do are more of additional skills he has, but not his main field of expertise.

It's the default thinking actually. But you might wonder, where did he begin? what made him so exceptional? We might all on agree on that it's innate in him.

..The applicant must also hold American citizenship, have a clean record, and hold a four-year bachelor's degree.
This is where I came to a conclusion that Akai holds a degree and what kind of degree he possibly has. No.. it's his Subaru profile. Subaru states that he is studying doctorate in engineering. Where the heck did it come from? Is it just an arbitrary designation? If so, why not a simplier freelancer job? As I mentioned in the threads, it is hard to pretend to be in the field of engineering if you're not in it, more so, a doctorate degree. Maybe he wanted this status to be close with Agasa? And what if Haibara agreed on it.. can he prove that he is knowledgeable in the field and can help Agasa in his research?

I know that these details are not really important in the plot. But it's worth thinking, I guess.

yeah I agree with your theory Elixir,I just can't wait for Gosho to clear these points.I'm still wondering how Sherry helped him to be trusted by the BO,considering she's working in the science department.Maybe she just talked about him to her collegues saying he has detective skills or something like that.

[Elixir]

Thanks AICHAN.
But I doubt Gosho would elaborate on this in the future. And probably it's one of details left out in the manga to be imagined by the readers. But if Yumi's ex-boyfriend was brought out after years of abandonment, maybe we can still hope on it. Plus Elena's letters, plus Akemi's PS, plus Takagi Chosuke....

[MoonRaven]

Ooh, this theory sound great and interesting. I either can't wait to hear more about Akai's backgound.

[AICHAN]

If even Chiba have a developped background,then Gosho should detail more of Akai's past as well.I'm not losing hope,at least Akemi's PS will be revealed according to Gosho and that will be an important point,so maybe we'll have a flashback about him in the BO.

[MoonRaven]

^True. Chiba and Yumi both used to be just supporting characters (so did Shiratori) but now they both have more past. And Akai is one of the main cast(in my opinion).

[Elixir]

Yeah true and the exposition between Akai and Akemi is only shown in the anime.
