Chapter 721: This World Is Amazing
22:53 PM, Rum sent an email.
[All three cars are from Inagawa-kai, the reason for appearing in front of the Apartment is still being confirmed, waiting for intelligence. ——Rum]
Chi Feichei replied 'Ok' and relayed it to Gin, who was driving.
They were rushing to the Apartment again, but they took a different route.
Gin arranged for Vodka to go to one street corner, and they went to the other street corner, intending to block the road for those three cars first. If there was a problem with the people in those three cars, they would kill them all.
Still the kind where bombs are planted on the retreat route, making it impossible to escape…
Gin listened to Chi Feichei's relay and said in a deep voice, "Someone lured them over."
Rum had confirmed the situation of the Apartment residents afterwards. If the residents in the building had a relationship with Inagawa-kai, Rum would have told them long ago.
Logically speaking, Inagawa-kai's cars should not be parked outside the Apartment, and there were no Yakuza Group fights nearby. Then it was very likely that someone deliberately lured them over!
"Used other reasons, didn't mention the document." Chi Feichei agreed with Gin's speculation and suddenly had an idea.
People from Inagawa-kai drove to the front of an Apartment in the middle of the night, definitely not for anything good. If fake police siren sounds were played nearby, perhaps their presence could be concealed, allowing those three cars to leave, and also making the person who wanted to take action feel 'safe'.
There are Police Officer nearby, those three cars left on their own initiative, the Organization didn't make a move, isn't it very safe?
However, this idea was too much of a pitfall. Even if the person taking action was not Amuro Toru, they were still aiming at the Organization's people. If he went too far to scheme, it seemed a bit…
"Go to the online Forum to find police siren sounds, download them," Gin suddenly said, "Similar ones will also work!"
Chi Feichei was silent for a moment, "Let Kir do it, her location at the street corner is suitable."
No way, he didn't even mention it, Gin thought of it.
Gin was also silent for a moment. He only mentioned it, and Raki knew his plan without even thinking, which shows…
"Looks like we thought of the same thing."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Don't speak such blunt truths.
He didn't intend to trick the Red Faction, really didn't.
…
23:05 PM, police siren sounds faintly came from the street corner in the distance.
Chianti and the three Snipers had heard Gin's instructions to Rena Mizunashi before, and they were all calm.
Chi Feichei looked at the email received on his mobile phone. Yingqu Yan Nan was alarmed, Rum was alarmed…
[It's okay, the police siren sounds were made by Kir. ——Raki]
Sent to Curaçao, Yingqu Yan Nan, and Rum in a group message.
The Organization side completely calmed down.
Before long, the three cars parked in front of the Apartment couldn't stay put any longer and drove away from the Original Place.
Gin gave up the idea of taking action against the people in those three cars, drove to the vicinity of the Apartment, and waited for the three lookouts Snipers to confirm that all three cars had left this area and there were no other abnormalities before parking the car in a hidden place.
If they were just lured over, it's better to do less than more. There was no need to make too much Movement at this Time.
23:41 PM, a Little Black quietly came to Behind the Apartment, observed the situation of the Apartment residents' Home with the lights on and the Details on the Window and Balcony, confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, climbed onto the Balcony of Room 201 on the Second Floor of the Apartment, waited quietly for a moment, and observed the Balcony of Room 202 Next Door again.
It seemed that no one had climbed up, the Inside the Room was dim, and there were no Figures…
Room 203, the Inside the Room was also not lit.
Curaçao heard a slight Sound, got up and hid Behind the Curtain that was half-drawn, did not poke her head out, did not Speak Out, just listened quietly to the Sound, and took out her mobile phone to prepare to send an email to Rum.
In the Shadow of the Alley Entrance outside the Apartment Building, Chi Feichei watched the Little Black climb from the Balcony of Room 201 to the Balcony of Room 202. Although there were Street Lamp and the Light was not very dim, he couldn't even distinguish whether the Black Shadow was male or female. What he saw was just a pure Black Shadow.
This World is indeed amazing.
After the Little Black climbed onto the Balcony of Room 202, he squatted down vigilantly, listened to the Movement around him, and then began to pry open the Window Lock, entered the Inside the Room, and began to search.
When the Black Shadow entered the house, Chi Feichei hissed into the earphone, "Gin, the person has already entered, everyone else, confirm if there are any Suspicious Person around."
Chianti: "I haven't found anyone active on my side."
Korn: "Nothing on my side either."
Calvados: "There were two Drunkard passing by at the Street Corner just now, they've already gone far away…"
"I also saw those two Drunkard before, two Male, passing by Behind me," Rena Mizunashi said, "They really looked drunk."
"Kir, leave the Original Place first, go to the Next Door Street Corner." Chi Feichei said.
Since Rena Mizunashi was seen, it was necessary to change Location.
"Understood!" Rena Mizunashi responded in a low voice.
Chi Feichei continued to stare at the Window of Room 202, "Vodka, pay attention to staring at the Intersection…"
The matter of commanding should not have been done by him.
He, Gin, and The Boss basically defaulted to a Principle. To avoid confusion of command, Japan is Gin's home field. Unless there are special circumstances, such as The Boss assigning him a Task that lacks manpower and finding people from Gin's side to assist, then the command of Action will be taken over by him who understands the Situation better. For Example, tonight, based on the Situation, he said a Sentence 'wait'.
And Britain is considered his home field. If there is no Need, Gin will not go over him to command Yingqu Yan Nan, Stout, Underberg, or even Saki Midorikawa. Gin will not contact them either.
Others also abide by this Rule. If there are no special circumstances, Rum will not Intervene in Action command, and others will not Intervene in the Matters Rum is responsible for without Invitation.
Rashly invading other people's territory is annoying, but tonight is an exception. Gin probably wants to satisfy his Morbid Taste of scaring Prey and watching Prey panic and uneasy. Seeing that the Outer Member are safe, he ran in to lie in wait for people, and directly threw the matter of commanding Outside to him…
Inside the Room, Little Black discovered that there was a Sound abnormality from a Floor, opened the Floor and found a stack of Documents.
But soon, Little Black felt a cold, hard Thing on the Back of Head, his Action froze, he squatted without Getting Up, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
It's a Muzzle!
"Cleopatra…"
A gloomy and cold Sound came from Behind.
"Unexpectedly, it's you!"
Gin!
Little Black judged the Identity of the person Behind him, did not hesitate much, hugged the Documents and rushed to the Window, directly Leaped out from the Second Floor Balcony.
Gin was not in a hurry to chase after him, turned around and opened the Room Door to go out.
The Communication Headset was not disconnected. He listened to Chi Feichei's Arrangement throughout the whole process, knowing that there was no Abnormality Outside, and that Important Intersection were all guarded.
Similarly, others on the other side also heard the Code Name he spoke, Raki and Kir had not seen Cleopatra, but Chianti and Curaçao had seen her, and would Stare at the person closely.
The person can't escape anyway!
Moreover, the person cannot be solved Inside the Room.
10 minutes ago, Rum sent an email, related to the last Investigation Accident, participated in this Investigation, and Activity beside those eight people, but there is still one person whose Whereabouts cannot be confirmed at Present—
Bourbon!
In order to clear out a Place to lie in wait for the next one, Cleopatra certainly cannot be solved here.
Outside the Apartment, after Cleopatra Leaped out of the Balcony, she protected her Head before landing, rolled twice to dissipate the force, got up and ran quickly in one Direction.
Chi Feichei finally saw the Appearance of the Other Party clearly.
He could look at the Information, Photos, and Contact Information of some Outer Member casually, but among the Core Member, he only knew the Code Name and Contact Information of a very small Portion of people, and it was also the First Time he saw Cleopatra.
Cleopatra is a Cocktail named after Cleopatra, made from White Rum, Milk Liqueur, Fresh Cream, and Nutmeg. The taste is more inclined to Female drinking. He guessed it was a Woman when he heard the Code Name, and her Appearance would not be bad either.
The fact is also true.
Although it was just a Glance, he also recognized Cleopatra's Identity, or rather, her Identity to the Public.
New female Celebrity Celia, won the Champion in the Miss Wafu Beauty Contest at the age of 19, officially entered the Public Line of Sight, and was revealed to be majoring in Acting Major at the University, and was also a top student, and then became active in International Audition Events, seemingly intending to take the International Route.
And Celia is the kind of mixed-race person who is 'mixed' well, with fair Skin, a hot figure, natural light brown Hair and snow-white Skin, with generous and attractive facial features and hazy light Gray Eyes. She herself is different from Celebrities like Yoko Okino who take the 'demure and gentle, cute and lively' route. She is born with a wildness.
Celia's celebrity Road is very smooth. Three years ago, 22-year-old Celia graduated from University, stopped the audition Activity, signed with an American Film and Television Company with many Fans from Various Countries, and switched to Film Shooting. Her first Movie came with Fans to support her, and she also gained more recognition for her excellent Acting Skill. In the past three years, she has basically been filming Movies in Various Countries, and is considered a rising star.
Back then, when he and Odagiri Toshiya talked about Celia when they were bored, they also said that Celia was born suitable for taking the International Route. In the eyes of generally reserved Asians, sometimes they couldn't appreciate that unrestrained Enthusiasm, especially since Japan currently appreciates cute and Gentle women more. Celia chose the most Suitable Route for herself as soon as she became famous. Either she was very smart and knew her own Location from the Initially, or there was an expert behind her to guide her.
But this person cannot be poached, and there is No Need to poach her.
The American Company that Celia signed with is strong and has deep roots. The Price to pay for poaching is too high, and THK Company still needs to build a Foundation in Japan at Present. Celia can't help the Company much. Spending a large Price to poach her is also harming others and oneself. If the Company is in a period of time when it needs to go International, it can be considered, but other choices can also be made.
Celia is too 'expensive'. Looking at her completely correct Development Choice in the early stage, she is likely already a person of that American Company. And even if she is not, whether it is her own intelligence or someone behind her giving advice, the Other Party should have the best plan for the Future Road, and it is Unlikely to change the Original Route halfway and run to THK Company.
Now it seems that what affects Celia's Future Arrangement is the Organization. Initially taking the International Route may be to make Celia popular, so that it is convenient to contact more big figures in the business and political circles and Celebrities, or Rum wants her to collect Intelligence in Various Countries, or maybe wants to do both.
In Rum's Place, Cleopatra, even if she can't compare to Curaçao, his Confidant, or Bourbon, a Search Command expert, in Value, she may also be carefully cultivated by Rum. Judging from the Activity Trajectory of Celia he knows, it is estimated that she has also provided a lot of useful Intelligence for the Organization.
When he first saw Cleopatra's Appearance clearly, he was a little Unexpectedly, but after drawing this conclusion in his Heart, he didn't find it Weird anymore.
Chi Feichei did not hesitate, and said in a hoarse voice to Rena Mizunashi on the other side of the Communication Headset, "Kir, guard the Intersection, the person is going to your side."
In the Communication Headset, Chianti's mad and excited Sound came out, "I saw the trace of that Kitten, her Skill is really flexible! Kir, go around from the second Alley on your right, if you can't block the person, then that person is mine!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 722: Raki Hates Traitors Too!
In the dim Alley, Cleopatra's brown Long Hair was tied back in a ponytail, strands of Hair Strand flying backward from her Face as she ran. The Face that had once smiled with such Enthusiasm in Movies, Reports, and Cinemas was now filled with panic.
A rustling Sound came from the Rear. The Woman quickly Looked back, her Pupil constricting.
Behind her, a Woman wearing tight Black Clothes was agilely Jumping and moving On the Wall, gradually closing the distance between them. She casually tore off the Disguise Mask on her Face, revealing a head of silvery Wavy Hair and a pair of heterochromatic Eyes Staring intently at her.
She had been under Rum's command for six years, and the Moment she saw the other party's Appearance, she recognized the person.
Curaçao, Rum's Confidant!
"Click."
As Cleopatra Turned Head to Look back, a faint Sound of High Heels stepping On the Ground also came from the Alley Entrance ahead.
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) stood at the Alley Entrance, wearing the Same tight Black Clothes as Curaçao. The Black Hat on her Head was pulled down very low, with two strands of Black Curly Hair hanging down from the brim. While blocking the Alley Entrance, the Pistol held level in her Hand was also aimed at the running Cleopatra.
"Kir!" Cleopatra was startled and stopped in a hurry, leaning against the Wall and panting heavily. She looked up at Rena Mizunashi (Kir) urgently, "Let me go!"
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) looked up at Cleopatra, her expression Cold. Her beautiful Water Blue Eyes, like a Cat's, held mockery. "Do you Think I will let you go?"
She couldn't save Cleopatra.
Even if she moved Aside and wasn't caught by Curaçao, As Long As Cleopatra stepped out of the Alley, she would be taken care of by the Sniper.
The Moment a person stepped in here, Cleopatra was destined to face the Fate of Death.
The Alley behind her seemed like the only Passage to escape, but in reality, it was the path to Hell.
Moreover, Gin was coming soon. If she moved Aside, she herself would also be in Danger.
Watching Cleopatra's Eyes gradually fill with despair, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Still kept a Cold Face, silently saying a Sentence of apology in her Heart.
Curaçao caught up, blocking the Rear.
Soon, Gin also followed closely, stepping forward past Curaçao's side. He approached with his Gun drawn, his Gaze Cold as he Stared at Cleopatra, asking word by word, "Cleopatra, Why did you Betray the Organization? Who is your Accomplice? Where are they now?"
Cleopatra took two steps back, leaning against the Wall, tightly clutching the Document in her arms. She lowered her Gaze and remained Silent.
That suffocating Killing Intent had been Enveloping her. She knew she couldn't survive, But if she died, and it could end the Matters here and protect that person...
"Gin, No Need to wait."
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was startled by the Hoarse Voice from behind her. Suppressing the Heartbeat that accelerated for a Moment from being Scared, she showed an appropriate expression of surprise on her Face. She Turned Head to Look at the European Face Young Man who had appeared behind her at some point.
When did Raki arrive?
The distance between them was only two steps. She hadn't Sense anyone Approaching behind her Just Now!
If Raki arrived Before he appeared, did that Mean that Just Now, As Long As she had even A Bit of other Intentions, even if she pretended to accidentally let Cleopatra escape, it was Possible that Raki would See through her Intention and she would also die here tonight?
Being an Undercover Agent in the Organization, it Indeed was a Matter of losing one's life if one wasn't Careful!
Chi Feichei didn't Know that Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was overthinking and Sighing so much in her Heart. He calmly looked directly at Gin, and said in a Hoarse Voice, "News from Rum three minutes ago, Bourbon is Tracking Funato in Bunkyo Ward. There Should be no Problem. Bourbon's explanation is that he didn't terminate the Investigation and Conceal his Whereabouts Because during the Investigation, he found that Funato was in Contact with Jacques Bernard, a Frenchman who teaches French at a School. The Two People's Behavior was Abnormality, they had deliberately avoided others and met secretly twice. He wanted to Confirm Before giving Rum a Reply."
When he mentioned the Name 'Jacques Bernard', Chi Feichei Subconsciously Looked towards Cleopatra.
This person, Gin Should Know, and Cleopatra Should Know even Better.
At the end of the year Before last, Cleopatra went to France to study French for Film a French Movie. The Teacher was Jacques Bernard, a French Teacher who had been Stay Long in Japan. Afterwards, there were even Gossip Tabloids Reporting that the Two People had an ambiguous relationship. Since there was no Evidence and no one believed it, But this was one of the few Scandals Cleopatra had since becoming active under the Identity of 'New Celebrity Celia', So he remembered it very clearly.
Hearing the Name 'Jacques Bernard', Cleopatra's Face instantly changed. It Seemingly revealed the Matters she feared most. Besides being terrified, a trace of impatience also flashed in her Eyes. She gritted her Fang, and Suddenly exploded forward, rushing towards Rena Mizunashi (Kir).
"Boom!"
At the Same Time, an Explosion Sound came from Behind Gin.
Cleopatra was focused on escaping. While the others Looked towards the Explosion Site, she quickly passed Rena Mizunashi (Kir) and Chi Feichei and rushed out of the Alley Entrance.
The Explosion collapsed the Wall on one side of the Alley. The Dust and Flame brought up by the falling Bricks and Stones rushed outwards together.
In the Earphone, Chianti asked, "Gin, what's going on?"
Gin lowered the Arm he had used to shield himself, not answering Chianti at all. He said fiercely, "Chianti, Start Doing and kill her!"
"Did you let someone Run Away?" Chianti replied Smilingly, "Then that person is mine!"
A Group of People In the Alley didn't Stay Long and walked towards the Street Outside.
Before Chi Feichei came Over, he had told Vodka and Takatori on the Communication Channel to drive the Car to the Street Outside the Alley. Gin and the others had also heard this. The Movement caused by the Explosion was too big, they had Better leave here immediately to avoid being unable to get away After the Police Officer arrived.
As For Curaçao and Kir's Transportation, it was parked too far away, so they could only withdraw first.
As Chi Feichei Turned Around and walked Outside, he vaguely heard the Sound of a Bullet entering a Body, his Face turning Cold.
The Explosion was his Arrangement.
From the Present perspective, Amuro Toru Probably wouldn't be in trouble. He freed up one Bomb to try and save Cleopatra. The Remaining One had to be left for the little Undercover Agent Amuro.
He would rather not use his full Ability to save Cleopatra than to throw out all the Bombs and then regret not saving Amuro Toru if something unexpected happened.
Saving Cleopatra was for the Convenient of whitewashing himself in the Afterwards, far less Important than saving Amuro Toru.
But even So, when he rushed Over, he had to take the Risk of being discovered, avoid the Sniper's Line of Sight, and use a Gesture to transmit the Command to the Crow hidden in the Corner of the Dark Place. Then, Feimo would take the Crow, also avoiding the Sniper's Line of Sight, place the Bomb Behind the Wall, and also Eliminate the Trace and choose the right Timing to detonate it.
Whether Feimo and the others' Action were discovered, or if any Trace pointing to him was left behind, he would be in Danger.
Logically speaking, Just Now, These People led by Gin were attracted by the Explosion, and he also pretended to be distracted. Cleopatra could have escaped, As Long As she was A Bit calmer when escaping, and ran along the Building Edge After leaving the Alley, avoiding the Sniper's Line of Sight. By the Time they chased her out, it would have been too late.
But getting shot So quickly, Cleopatra very Likely just rushed out foolishly...
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) felt the low Air Pressure emanating from Gin and a certain Raki, feeling somewhat breathless from the Repression in her Heart.
These Two Fellows Seemingly were quite angry...
Gin walked out of the Alley with a Cold Face, looking at Cleopatra's Corpse in the middle of the Street. His Face only looked A Bit Better. He took out his Mobile Phone and made a Phone Call, "Kir, go Confirm the Death. Inspect if she left anything on her. Her Mobile Phone will be Entrust To Raki!"
The Phone Call connected, Gin didn't say anything further. He said with full Killing Intent to the other side of the Phone Call, "Bourbon... tell me Jacques Bernard's Location!"
Chi Feichei's Emotion calmed down. He stepped forward and watched Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Inspect the Corpse.
Looking at the Location of Cleopatra's Death, this Woman rushed straight forward, which is why she was Sniping by Chianti in the middle of the Road.
He didn't believe Cleopatra couldn't guess there might be a Sniper Nearby. Even if she couldn't guess there was a Sniper Nearby, she shouldn't have run straight forward. With such a straight run, Gin could still Shoot her in the Back After chasing her out of the Alley.
No Need to Think, Cleopatra was overly Tension about certain Matters, completely losing the Ability to think calmly. Simply put, she lost her Mind.
He and Feimo took the Risk and spent some Time, but the other party performed such an Operation. He wasn't angry to the point of Liver Pain entirely Because saving Cleopatra was also a By the Way attempt, and he had other Intentions, so he didn't Care About it too much.
Otherwise, he would want to whip the Corpse!
Aside, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) squatted down to Inspect the Corpse. She took out a Mobile Phone from Cleopatra's Pants Pocket. From her Peripheral Vision, she saw Chi Feichei's Face was Cold, and his Eyes sweeping over the Corpse, besides Calm, for the First Time carried a trace of disgust. However, the low Air Pressure she felt Before had disappeared.
Seemingly, Raki also hates Traitors...
Roadside, Yingqu Yan Nan sat in the Black Zelas Car, having torn off the Apartment Manager's Disguise, revealing the Bearded Strongman's Disguise Mask underneath. He put on a pair of Sunglasses and lit a Cigarette.
Such a beautiful Girl, just gone like that. Out of sight, out of mind.
These People in the Organization are too Mad and Ill. He was also forced to yield to the Boss's power, walking on the Road to becoming a Madman.
However, the Boss's Face Just Now was truly terrifying...
Vodka stayed in the Porsche 356A (Car Model), also not getting out of the Car, preparing to evacuate with the others at any Time. By the Way, he leaned his Head out and Looked through the Car Window, "Chianti's Shot was really accurate."
"Yes, she hit the Head with one Shot. Even God couldn't save her," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) calmed her Mind A Bit, saying lightly, got up with the Mobile Phone, and Hand Over To the Mobile Phone to Chi Feichei, "Raki, here!"
Chi Feichei Received the Mobile Phone, Turned Around and went to his own Car. He Opened the Trunk, took out a Bomb, and threw it onto Cleopatra's Body. He Turned Head and said to Gin, "Let's go."
Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Trace of rummaging through Things Just Now was a bit Obvious, and they couldn't Stay Long. It was Better to Explode the Corpse along with the Trace around the Corpse.
He didn't care about the principle of leaving a complete Corpse for someone. When a person dies, there is Nothing Else left. Whether the Corpse is complete or not has no Meaning.
Gin also felt the low Air Pressure on Chi Feichei disappear Just Now. After hanging up the Phone Call, he said coldly, "Jacques Bernard and Funato are together, at the Izakaya at 4-Chome, 211 O-chō, Bunkyo Ward. Raki, you come with us. Let Wayne Walkerly take Curaçao and Kir. We'll split up and Contact each other when we get Nearby!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 723: This Is a Warning!
The two cars separated at the Street Corner, sped through the Street, and drove along different Roads towards the same direction.
On the Road, Chi Feichei sat in the Back Seat of Gin's Car and checked Cleopatra's Mobile Phone. "All Emails have been deleted, there are Phone Numbers for the Manager, Company Management, and several business and political figures, but no Contact Information for Jacques Bernard is stored. In the UL Chat Software, there is a Human noted as J. There is only this one Classification. It is very likely Jacques Bernard. However, the Chat History has been deleted, so no Information can be found."
"Then No Need to Care," Gin said. "Anyway, that Bourbon Fellow is Already Staring at the Human!"
Chi Feichei formatted the Mobile Phone, put on Gloves, took out a Tissue and carefully wiped the Fingerprint left on the Mobile Phone, and asked without raising his Head, "Are you Intending to Solve them together?"
"Their Value is Already exhausted, keeping them around would also be a big Trouble," Gin's Gaze was gloomy. "You Contact Kurahashi, have him bring all the People All over. Solve the seven Humans besides him! I will have that Anbe Fellow find a good Witness for the Alibi."
The Black Porsche 356A passed the Bridge. An orange Mobile Phone and the taken-out Phone Card were Thrown out from the Back Seat Car Window, flew out over the Guardrail, and fell into the River with a 'plop'.
In the Back Seat, Chi Feichei raised the Car Window again, took out his Mobile Phone and made a Phone Call to Kurahashi Kenichi.
The Fish is Already hooked, Then the Bait is also Useless.
If eight builders from the same Company were Murdered at the same Time, it might cause the Boss of that Construction Company to be Investigated by the Police. To protect that black-hearted Boss, the Action Should not have been so simple and crude, But Now Cleopatra is dead, Funato is meeting with Cleopatra's Person of Rumor, Then, those Humans can be Called over and Handled together.
The best Method is Explosion.
This way, Will create an Illusion for the Outside World: This Is someone Resenting Cleopatra and her Person of Rumor, So they Will in one Night, first Assassinate Cleopatra, and then Explode Jacques Bernard with a Bomb, while the other seven Humans besides Kurahashi were Just Acquaintances of Jacques Bernard, and were just unlucky fellows who happened to gather together at the Izakaya and got caught in the blast.
It can be Disposable Handled cleanly, and also Cover-up the Organization's existence and Real Purpose.
As For that black-hearted Boss Anbe...
It was not Easy for Gin to be Able to remind The Other Party to find a good Alibi. If even this is still pursued and Investigated by the Police, Then Guess it Will Again be the Fate of being Silenced.
...
Early Morning 1:06, O-chō, Bunkyo Ward.
Police Car, Ambulance, Fire Truck gathered in front of an Izakaya burning with a Big Fire.
Reporters who rushed over upon hearing the news stood in the rolling Smoke and Dust, and Reported the Big Explosion from over ten minutes Before into the Camera Lens.
"...According to Our Knowledge, in this Explosion, only the Izakaya Boss who took the Guest to the Washroom and that Guest escaped the disaster. The specific number of casualties is still not Confirmed. The Reason for the Explosion is also still under Investigation..."
On the Ambulance, Kurahashi Kenichi lay quietly on the Stretcher, listening to the Ambulance close its Car Door and leave with a whistle, and closed his eyes.
One Hour Before, he received a Phone Call from that Man with a Hoarse Voice and unpleasant Sound, telling him to find any Reason, and trick his Companion of four years Getting Along to this Izakaya. There was a Bomb set up by the Organization inside the Izakaya, telling him to leave Before 0:50.
He did as told.
He and those seven Humans were Just connected by Benefit, far less Important than his Daughter.
In Fact, Even If the Humans are dead Now, he wasn't very sad, Just felt waves of Chill in his Heart.
Previously, although he knew this Organization was building Illegal Building, and Illegal Fund Raising, and also knew some Humans were involved in Murder Case, But they always thought of seeking wealth in Danger, under the impact of Money again and again, they Slowly stopped caring about it.
This Time was their First Time participating. He became an accomplice, and the other seven Humans, along with that foreign Man who was sitting with Funato, became the Victims.
Thinking of these Things, his Mood was Still difficult to Calm.
For a Moment, he Realized that when he and the other six Humans entered the Door, they Saw Funato's Face was a Bit unpleasant when he was sitting with a foreign Man. He Still Smilingly Greeted and Said what a coincidence, and those Faces were annihilated in the Explosion in a Moment...
For a Moment, he Again Realized that when he received the Phone Call, he Asked The Other Party how he should clear his Suspicion by slipping away alone. The Other Party's Hoarse Voice was Still Calmness and Cold, and Just Said One Sentence: 'That Is your Matter'.
He could only find a Reason to leave temporarily, and still didn't dare to Go To too far, regardless of severity, he had to suffer A Bit Injury.
Taking the Izakaya Boss with him, was considered him praying for blessings for his Own Daughter, accumulating A Bit virtue.
He could Feel, the Organization was like a Pitch Black swamp hiding Danger. Before, he was Just walking on the Edge, his Shoe soles were stained with Mud but not much. But Afterwards this Time, he had Already stepped into the swamp. What made him Uncomfortable was, his Daughter was also pulled down.
Raki Said, his Daughter joined the Organization.
Just Now he Saw the Police, and countless Times wanted to ask the Police for help. At least he wanted the Police to pull his Daughter out. But he didn't dare. These Day he secretly inquired from Acquaintances in Kumamoto. His Daughter Run Away From Home, and is still Missing to this Day. Should be in the Hands of those Humans.
"Mr.? This Mr.?"
By his ear, the Young Doctor's shouting made Kurahashi Kenichi come back to his senses.
"The Burn on your Arm and the Scratch on your Face, I have Already Handled them for you. Is there anywhere you Feel Uncomfortable? For Example Dizziness, nausea, or similar Things."
"Nothing." Kurahashi Kenichi responded, Lowering his Head to Look at his cleaned and bandaged Arm. He didn't Know if he was too distracted, or if this Doctor's Method was too good, but Just Now he Actually didn't Feel any pain.
"That's Good. But Afterwards you arrive at the Hospital, you Still need to have a comprehensive Inspect..." The Young Doctor's Face was a Bit meaty, and he Looked very Kind when Smilingly. Seeing that no other Humans noticed, he leaned towards Kurahashi Kenichi's ear, and Said in a lowered Voice, "I'm relaying Raki's Words: You are very smart. These Day, recover from your injuries, Wait for the Limelight to pass, and you Will be allowed to meet your Daughter. Afterwards you Will Go To America. Hope you can continue to be smart."
Kurahashi Kenichi's Face stiffened A Bit, the Chill in his Heart grew stronger, and he silently Nodded.
This Is a warning, warning him not to Try to reveal anything to the Police!
He Unexpectedly, even the Ambulance that Came Over had Humans from those Humans. If Just Now he went to Contact the Police, Then the Outcome awaiting him would probably not be Good.
...
On another Secluded Street in O-chō, two Cars were stopped at the Roadside.
In the Porsche Back Seat, Chi Feichei Looked at the Email received on his Mobile Phone, "Kurahashi did not Contact the Police."
Vodka smiled A Bit. "This Fellow is not too stupid!"
In the Rear, Curaçao got out of the Car, Go To the Car Side, knocked on the Car Window A Bit, with a smile at the Corner of Mouth that had no Temperature. "Rum told me to withdraw, I'll leave First Time."
After Saying, she Just Turned Around and entered the nearby Alley.
Chi Feichei Looked One Eye, and withdrew his Line of Sight.
Curaçao had Previously Discovered Things she Shouldn't Know. She was almost Executed. After being saved by Rum, she was trained to be a Confidant. She is considered a Human who has experienced great ups and downs. Moreover, her Own Pride and Danger Level are absolutely no worse than other Core Members.
The Organization's Core Members Seemingly all have a Problem - Don't talk to me about being Friend, We Just talk about Task.
Everyone is like this, So no one is out of place, and no one Will pay attention to whether other Humans are out of place. They Just Look at whether they find it pleasing to the Eye.
Before Contacting the Junior Detective League, Curaçao was not that Good at Getting Along. Or rather, If Curaçao hadn't lost her Memory at that Time, she also wouldn't play with a Group of Kid. This Is also a Human who is Cold at Heart, Slow to warm up, and full of Vigilance.
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) also got out of the Car, Go To the Porsche side, Turned Head and Looked at the Alley where the Figure was Gone. and Asked in a Tone of Relaxation, "What about Us? Gin? Should we also withdraw?"
Gin Just wanted to Say Words, when he Saw the Figure walking from the Street Corner. His Gaze paused A Bit, and a Cold smile rose at the Corner of Mouth. "Bourbon is here!"
The Human walking over was All Black Clothes. Looking at the figure, it could be seen that it was a Male. The hood plus the Baseball Cap almost completely blocked the Face. Only a Bit of Blonde Hair and a sharp chin showing Black Skin were exposed.
Chi Feichei Saw the skin color, Hair Color, and figure, and Guessed that the person coming was Amuro, the little Undercover Agent. He Asked in a Hoarse Voice, "Bourbon?"
Hassashi hid under the Clothes, resisting the urge to pop his Head out and Greet.
It's not Easy ah, he finally ran into Amuro Toru during an Action.
"A Bit Unexpected, right?" Gin Turned Head to Look at Chi Feichei. His Voice was very low, so low that Rena Mizunashi (Kir) standing by the Car Side couldn't hear it clearly either.
According to his Knowledge, Bourbon Previously, in order to Investigate July, infiltrated the Pet Hospital, and happened to become Raki's Assistant.
But Raki Just Contacted the Organization Before, and didn't Know that his Own former Assistant was Bourbon, the Search Expert in the Organization. And Raki's True Identity needed to be Concealed. Bourbon Still doesn't Know that Raki was his Advisor during that short period.
"It's Okay." Chi Feichei's Tone was flat.
He could be glad that his Own Face was always Calm. When he Saw Amuro Toru, he also didn't need to Intentionally put on a Performance of the Expression and Reaction 'My Inner Self is very surprised, But I need to quickly suppress the surprised Reaction'.
Gin Indeed didn't hope to see anything from Chi Feichei's Expression. He Turned Head and Looked Towards Outside the window.
Amuro Toru Go To the Front of Car. He didn't get too close, and didn't Greet either. After Stopping, he maintained his distance, and Said in a Tone with a slight Playfulness, "Just Now I went to Look A Bit at that French Teacher's Residence. That Fellow Should have a Connection with DGSE. It Seemingly the Connection has Already existed for several years. But there is only a Handbook in the Residence that can prove his Identity. Letter and other Materials Should have been destroyed. I have Already taken away the Things related to DGSE from his Home. The Police Will not be able to Investigate his Abnormality. If there is any Discovery, I Will tell You Again."
Chi Feichei lowered his Eye A Bit. DGSE, which is the Abbreviation for the French General Directorate for External Security...
Gin Cold snorted. "Your Speed is Really Fast enough!"
Bourbon's Ability is undeniable. If Not for this Fellow Discovering Jacques Bernard, this Key Human, Cleopatra probably wouldn't have revealed anything even upon death. They also couldn't figure out which Faction had extended its Hand into the Organization.
Moreover Bourbon has Already gone to Search, Confirmed Jacques Bernard's Identity, and also took away some Things. Otherwise, Japanese Public Security would Probably be involved, Staring at Jacques Bernard to Investigate. Even If they couldn't find anything, casually interfering with Organization Operation would also be annoying to the Human Heart.
But the Human is Already dead, and the Factions Staring at the Organization are more than just one or two. Figuring out which side Cleopatra leaked the Intelligence to is also not that Important Anymore...
He Still has the old Point of view, mystics all have Problems.
If Not for Bourbon indirectly causing Jacques Bernard's death this Time, which doesn't seem like something an Accomplice would do, Moreover, going over in Time to Clean Up some Trace was considered helpful, Just the Point that Bourbon himself ran to Jacques Bernard's Home to look for Things, he would have Reason to Suspect that Bourbon is also a Human from DGSE. Previously, he was Cleaning Up the Connection with his Accomplice and Cleaning Up DGSE's Important Intelligence.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 724: A Different Feeling
Amuro Toru's lips curved slightly as he playfully remarked in a low voice, "How else could I stay in the Organization without some ability?"
"That's enough," Chi Feichi said in a hoarse voice, getting out of the car and walking towards the car behind him.
He couldn't be bothered to listen to those two two-faced old guys talk.
Amuro Toru looked up, observing Chi Feichi's figure from behind. Before coming, he had deduced from the scattered words in Rum's email that Advisor was involved in this operation.
Although it was a quick glance, he still clearly saw that disguised face. Putting aside the completely different countenance, even the feeling it gave him was somewhat different.
He still appeared cold, indifferent, and expressionless, but when Chi Feichi appeared in his true identity, the feeling he gave off was more inclined towards calmness. The glance he had just seen of that fake face gave off more of a feeling of indifference.
The two feelings were somewhat similar, both suggesting someone not easy to get along with, but there was still a difference in how they felt. At least he wouldn't subconsciously associate 'Chi Feichi' with 'Raki'...
After seeing Murak get on the Car and leave with that Bearded Man, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) said with a wry smile, "He really is someone not easy to get along with."
"Raki is like that sometimes, but sometimes he's quite easy to get along with," Vodka retracted his line of sight from leaning out of the Car Window. "Maybe he's in a bad mood because Cleopatra almost got away tonight..."
"With so many of you, you couldn't even catch one woman?" Amuro Toru's tone was ambiguous, seemingly taking the opportunity to mock, but in reality...
He was secretly probing.
"An explosion suddenly occurred near us, almost letting that woman run away," Vodka said fiercely. "But she couldn't escape no matter what. Chianti has been waiting for her for a long time!"
"Did Cleopatra have an Accomplice?" Amuro Toru asked.
"No Suspicious Person was found. The Explosion Point was right next to the Wall of the Alley she passed by. Perhaps she planted it on her way escaping, or perhaps someone wanted to help her. However, the only ones who came from that direction were Gin and Curaçao. It looks unlikely anyone would help her," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) turned around and left, looking indifferent. "Of course, it's also possible that I, who was waiting at the Alley Entrance in advance, planted the bomb for her, but I'm not that close with her. Also, Vodka, I don't agree with your statement that Raki is easy to get along with at all."
Gin hadn't said anything. He thought the same.
At that time, Chianti, Korn, and Calvados were on the Building Top in the distance, making it impossible for them to place the bomb in the Alley. When Raki rushed over, he went around the Street Corner and took another Road, not passing through the section of the Alley behind him at all. This point was proven by the three Snipers.
Therefore, the only ones who could have placed the bomb where he passed were Cleopatra herself, Kir who arrived at that Alley beforehand, or Curaçao who chased into the Alley before him.
However, he wasn't much slower than Curaçao. If Curaçao made a subtle move, he would definitely have seen it. Kir indeed had enough time to place the bomb, but he also confirmed that Kir was not carrying a bomb, and there were no Accomplices nearby to provide a bomb. Kir only realized the specific task upon arrival...
"It seems I need to confirm it," Amuro Toru murmured.
"Suit yourself!" Gin retracted his thoughts about various possibilities. "Vodka, let's go."
"Okay, Boss!" Vodka started the car.
Amuro Toru didn't wait for the car to leave before turning around and slipping into the nearby Alley. In a few quick movements, he concealed himself in the darkness. Under the hat brim, his grey-purple eyes held deep thought.
He thought the bomb was planted by Advisor. Then, was Advisor in a bad mood because he failed to save someone? Or did he leave some trace?
No matter whether Advisor planted the bomb or whether he left a trace, it was best for him to take over the post-incident investigation task.
If there was anything wrong, he could help Advisor cover it up on the way.
...
Three days later...
A figure wearing a baseball cap and a black hoodie was walking along the streetside. Suddenly, he turned into an Alley, climbed up the Wall in a few quick movements, flipped over, and landed.
In the Courtyard behind the Wall, maple leaves covered the ground in a thick layer of red. Spinning red leaves were also slowly drifting downwards in the air. Occasionally, a few were carried by the wind, landing on the Eaves of the Japanese-Style House.
A Young Man wearing a pure black kimono sat Under the Eaves, lowering his gaze and fiddling with the tea leaves on the Coffee Table. His back was straight, his actions relaxed and composed. Black broken hair fell down, his pale profile had clear edges, his expression was calm and indifferent, and his slightly lowered eyes were overly deep. Besides being calm, he also appeared somewhat cold, arrogant, and solitary.
After flipping over the Wall, Amuro Toru stroked his chin and watched, feeling that the atmosphere was good enough to find a painter to paint a picture.
Chi Feichi divided the tea leaves into tea bags, listening to the muttering of the tallest big red maple in the Courtyard.
"I'm losing hair, I'm losing hair, I'm losing..." The big red maple suddenly paused. "Huh, this young man's skin is really dark. How can he climb over the Wall? This is impolite..."
Feichi, who was lying lazily on the Coffee Table, also raised his head and glanced. "Master, it's Amuro Toru."
Chi Feichi's actions paused for a moment, but he didn't turn around. "How did you find This Place?"
Amuro Toru choked. He had originally intended to secretly slip over and check. Unexpectedly, he was discovered like this. Seeing that there were no others, he stepped forward, inspected and confirmed there were no monitoring or tracking devices, then sat down on the other side of the Coffee Table. "Shinchi Group sent a batch of things, and the Security Planning Division was responsible for the inspection. I saw you and a Man at the Airport this morning. I asked around for a bit of news and came over~"
It wasn't convenient for him to show his face. At that time, he wasn't with Kazami Yuya and that group of people. He was just pretending to be a Passerby, directing the inspection and transportation of things from the Outer Perimeter.
When the Staff from the Shinchi Group's airplane went to the Lounge, they just happened to pass by him and said that Chi Feichi and that Man were talking about ashes and buying a House. It gave him a scare. He secretly glanced again and found that Chi Feichi, who was leaving, was indeed holding a wooden box that looked like an urn in his arms. He couldn't feel at ease no matter what.
If not for having just received a batch of supplies from Shinchi Group and expensive equipment needed by the Police Hospital, he would have almost suspected that something had happened to the Chi Family, that their family fortunes had declined, and that Advisor, who couldn't afford to live in a Luxury Apartment, also had to sell his House and buy a House to change his Residence...
*Cough*, okay, the idea was a bit exaggerated, but he indeed imagined many possibilities. He secretly leaned closer to listen for a bit and found that it was the ashes of Advisor's Godson, Sawada Hiroki.
Then, Sawada Hiroki, such a genius, was indeed paid attention to by the Japanese Public Security. He remembered a Senior saying with heartache that the education system had misled people, and if they had discovered that Child earlier, he would have been pulled into the Forensic Science Research Institute long ago.
A young boy's suicide, due to it also involving the murder of the Sindola Company Chairman, the Mystery Novelist Kudo Yusaku, the incident at the epoch-making Cocoon Game Launch Event, the handover of American criminals to Japan, and the recent Shinchi Group's predatory acquisition of Sindola Company, upon asking the relevant Manager at the Public Security Department, the inside information became completely clear.
At that time, he felt heartbroken. During the period when the incident occurred, he was busy from morning till night, going home and immediately falling asleep. He hadn't even paid attention to these matters. Otherwise, he could have kept Advisor company and talked with him. What would happen if someone who already had a psychiatric history developed some problem from suppressing things...
Moreover, they had clearly met afterwards, yet Advisor didn't reveal any hint at all, which was also quite inconsiderate.
Upon further inquiry, he learned that the verdict for Thomas Sindola's case was announced a few days ago, and the Victim Kenmura's corpse was only cremated yesterday. The Man who spoke with Chi Feichi at the Airport was Katamura Tadahiko's only sister's son, and also the Successor to Kenmura's assets after death. He guessed that the House Chi Feichi was going to buy was probably Kenmura's Old House, and he was probably bringing his Godson's ashes to see. So, after finishing his work there, he came over on the way to check. Unexpectedly, Chi Feichi was still Here.
However, the scene he saw was somewhat different from what he had thought. He originally thought his Advisor would be sitting Inside the Room, holding the urn, feeling depressed and lost, releasing the vulnerability and negative emotion in his heart when no one was around.
He wanted to come and see, but was also afraid of seeing Advisor's vulnerable side and making A Certain Consultant angry and embarrassed. In the end, he came with the determination that 'If Advisor gets angry, I'll fight him'.
As a result, he thought too much again.
(-.－)
His Advisor actually ran to someone else's Old Residence to brew tea and drink tea, and even calmly and composedly divided the tea leaves. If not for the two urns with photos attached still on the Coffee Table, he would have thought that Advisor was Here as if on vacation at a Villa...
Chi Feichi poured Amuro Toru a cup of tea. "I sent one box to the homes of my Acquaintances. Belmode and Gin each took one box. But I'm not close with Bourbon, and I haven't contacted my Assistant Amuro Toru again, so I didn't send one to your Residence."
"Is that so..." Amuro Toru forced a smile.
Even Gin and Belmode got one, but he didn't. Why did he feel so heartbroken?
He was the one who used to sit in the Pet Hospital Office with Advisor, one cup of tea each, for a whole day...
Chi Feichi looked up and saw Amuro Toru naturally taking the box of divided tea leaves he had placed on the Table: "..."
If he liked it, he'd take it.
Not bad. It seems Amuro Toru has also been severely infected by the Crow spirit. His skin has thickened, and his heart has also turned black.
"It could also be that Advisor suddenly remembered the Assistant who used to run around for him, arranged his life and work, and worked hard without complaint, so he sent a box on the way," Amuro Toru said faintly.
Chi Feichi nodded. He didn't send one to Amuro Toru because he was afraid the connection would be too obvious, but this reason was also reasonable. He said in a calm tone, "That works too. Anyway, during the action a few days ago, I also saw a certain Mr. Assistant, who wore the guise of an Assistant but was actually an Organization Member, and had previously been undercover by my side with unclear intentions. It also makes sense to send a box of tea leaves on the way."
Amuro Toru took a sip of tea, a wry smile on his corner of his mouth. "Advisor, you've changed. You weren't this sharp with your words before."
Chi Feichi: "Oh."
This sentence isn't sharp, right?
Amuro Toru: "..."
(▼皿▼#)
Successfully provoked his anger!
Amuro Toru stared at Chi Feichi for two seconds, then speechless retracted his line of sight. He suspected that Chi Feichi was his natural nemesis. Even if he wanted to start a fight, he couldn't fight against Chi Feichi's calm demeanor. He took another sip of tea to calm down, then looked up at Chi Feichi and asked curiously, "It's very weird. The Raki I saw that day felt a little different from seeing Advisor. Although there was similar calmness, it was hard to associate them together. Was Advisor deliberately acting?"
He had been pondering this problem for the past two days and couldn't figure it out.
"It has little to do with acting, it's disguise knowledge," Chi Feichi added hot water to his own teacup and explained. "It's the application of the feeling colors give people and psychological suggestion. My original black hair and purple pupils naturally give off a feeling of calmness, and many people will pay too much attention to my eyes because of the special pupil color, probably feeling more calmness. But the hair color, pupil color, skin color, and even freckles of that disguised face are very common on Europeans. People who see it won't focus on a certain part of the facial features, nor will they feel that any place on the appearance is overly special, thus paying more attention to the face. They will probably feel indifference and unsociable. Of course, there's also the reason that I deliberately released a certain aura."
Disguise technique isn't just about learning how to make that fake face. There are many tricks involved. Some small details need to be noticed, and it also needs to be paired with suitable acting skills to be fully effective.
For example, Kuroba Kaito, that cross-dressing expert, every time he cross-dresses, it's not just about changing to a woman's face and changing into a skirt. He also has to utilize methods like light and shadow, color, blocking, etc., to shape out a woman's physical characteristics, and occasionally use accessories and similar small items to achieve the effect he wants.
The Notes left by Kuroba Toichi recorded that in female disguise, even with the same set of clothes, different accessories, hair color, and hairstyle can be used to show different personalities, guiding the first impression others get based on vision into the impression one wants to give.
He once suspected that Kuroba Toichi had stared at different women repeatedly for many years to be able to make those summaries. However, after reading the Notes, he felt that some of the things were very suitable for winning the favor of girls. At least after the father left the Notes, he didn't need to worry about Kuroba Kaito not finding a Girlfriend at all.
End of Chapter
"The Aura that the Advisor mentioned," Amuro Toru said, looking at Chi Feichei with a probing Gaze that seemed sharp, but his lips were slightly raised, as if smiling brightly, "could it be Killing Intent?"
Chi Feichei Looked at Amuro Toru, drank Tea, and reminded him, "Your Expression is ruined."
Since it's just the two of us, don't show that kind of twisted Evil Expression you have in the Organization, like you're Staring at Prey.
Amuro Toru choked, and said helplessly, "Can't help it, sometimes it just happens unconsciously... By the Way, the Explosion when Cleopatra tried to escape, it wasn't you who did it, right?"
Chi Feichei remained noncommittal, "What did you find out?"
"Nothing... No, there was a Discovery. On a Cement Fragment in the Ruins, I found a tiny bit of charred Blood Stain. And although Cleopatra's Corpse was destroyed by the Explosion, her left Hand, which was pressed under her side, was relatively intact. There was a slight scratch and Bleeding Trace on the Fingertip of her Index Finger, and the Dust Powder and Cement Dust Powder adhering to the Skin Tissue were consistent in composition," Amuro Toru Stared at Chi Feichei, "In Other Words, that Bomb was more likely to have been secretly placed there by Cleopatra on her escape route, just to create an Opportunity to escape..."
He had been thinking before that if the Advisor had done it, he would take over the Investigation Task. Although Rum certainly wouldn't let him Investigate alone, no matter who went with him to Confirm, he could promptly Discover anything wrong and Help cover it up. If it really came down to it, he could arrange to Dispose of his Colleague.
But the more he Investigated, the more it pointed to one Outcome—
Cleopatra planted the Bomb herself!
"I did it," Chi Feichei admitted, "No more than three times. There have already been two Explosion Accidents in the Actions I've been involved in. When you fall in the future, I won't be able to use similar Methods to save you again. Regardless of whether the Organization will be Suspicious, I won't use it again."
If Non-Ink hadn't returned, he really wouldn't have dared to entrust this kind of thing entirely to the Crows.
This time, Non-Ink was clever, Discovering that Cleopatra's Finger was scratched, and secretly got some Blood Stain to stick to the Wall Brick next to where the Bomb was placed.
Non-Ink is, after all, an old Monster who has lived for over a hundred years. It is much stronger than other Crows in terms of cleverness and Carefulness. With its petite Body Shape and inconspicuous Fur color in the Night, doing this kind of thing is more useful than a hundred or a thousand Special Agent.
Amuro Toru was a little surprised, not having Time to be Curious about how Chi Feichei did it, when Chi Feichei's Sentence 'when you fall in the future' made him have Black Lines on Forehead. He said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Advisor really doesn't have much Confidence in me. I'm not that Easy to fall. Advisor is Probably worrying for nothing."
"Not necessarily," Chi Feichei didn't give Amuro Toru a chance to argue, and returned to the previous Action, "The Bomb was originally prepared for you. You let Public Security leak the Matter of the Shengxin Bank Manager to me, was it to Test the Situation of the Operative of the Organization?"
"You even Discovered this," Amuro Toru smiled, his Expression quickly becoming serious, "Correct, the News was Intentionally leaked to you by me, to Help you brush up some Merit in the Organization. And at that Time, I was indeed Interested in the Building Information in those people's Hands."
He had already Considered it. He would directly cut off Connection with Chi Feichei, not letting Chi Feichei find him or contact him. Then, even if his Action was too big and he was Stared at, or even if something eventually happened, it wouldn't involve Chi Feichei.
Moreover, during that Time, the Organization was also Staring very closely, and it was not Suitable to contact others.
"You gave up Afterwards?" Chi Feichei Asked.
"I also Knew that this Investigation might be a Trap," Amuro Toru lowered his Eyes to Look at the Tea, his Eyes shrouded in Shadow and white Water Fog, and said in a low voice, "But the Information in those people's Hands is too Valuable. Sometimes I really want to Take a Gamble..."
On one side were the endless Traps and Tests of the Organization, which could cost him his Life if he was not Careful. Reason told him that it was best to be Careful. But sometimes, when he Thought about how long it would take to remain undercover, and how long he had been helping the wicked for so long without achieving the Expected Outcome, he still had some doubts about Life.
This time's Bait was also fatally Tempting to him.
As Long As he secretly got it, Even If he wasn't in a hurry to destroy the Organization, he could let Public Security grasp too much Information and Movement of the Organization, making it easier to act.
"But when I was Investigating Funato, I Discovered that he was trying to contact Jacques Bernard. Jacques Bernard is someone Public Security has been Staring at for a long Time. We Suspect he is a Spy from France, but That Guy is too good at hiding, and we are Just Suspecting, and have never had an Opportunity to Confirm. Until this time, he actually contacted a Builder who was not related at all but had Connection with the Organization, and I Judged that This Fellow had a Problem," Saying this, Amuro Toru Discovered that his negative Emotion was embarrassing, slowed down, and his Mood also relaxed a little. At least this time it was considered a Gain. He suddenly chuckled, "Since there are other ways to get Things, then Why should I take the Risk myself?"
Chi Feichei Understood. Amuro Toru This Kid was Probably thinking of 'red eats red'—instead of taking the Risk himself to bite the Bait that might be a Trap, Why not wait for Jacques Bernard to step on all the mines and get the Things, and then snatch them from Jacques Bernard?
Dealing with Jacques Bernard was much simpler. He could bring Public Security directly to the Door to arrest people. At that Time, he could also find a way to dig out all the Intelligence Jacques Bernard had grasped.
"That Day, when Rum sent an Email saying that the Investigation was terminated, I received News from my Public Security Colleague. They told me that Jacques Bernard had Go Out to contact Funato," Amuro Toru took a sip of Tea, "I went to Jacques Bernard's Home first and Discovered some Situations..."
There were Traces of a Woman's Life in Jacques Bernard's Home. In the Secret Room where Intelligence was hidden, there were not only Intelligence of various Activities in Japan collected in the past four or five years, and Evidence and Forms of bribing others that he had kept, but also a Group Photo with the Female Celebrity Celia.
And Judging from those Data, Jacques Bernard's Investigation against the Organization only started last year, and there was very little Information.
"In Other Words, That Guy didn't come for the Organization. He was Originally a Spy sent to Japan by the French General Directorate for External Security. He only started collecting Data on the Organization last year, and the Clues he grasped are not many," Amuro Toru continued, "He hasn't gotten the Building Data this time either. When I was Searching, I Saw the Group Photo of the two of them, and I also Suspected that Celia was from France. At that Time, Rum was again asking me what I was doing. I Confirmed that this Investigation was a Trap, and I couldn't explain Why my Whereabouts were unknown at that Time. I could only Say that I Discovered Funato was contacting Jacques Bernard, and Thought it was Suspicious, so I continued Tracking..."
He hadn't Thought about borrowing a Knife to kill.
He didn't Know that the Female Celebrity Celia was the Organization's Cleopatra, and had been caught by the Organization.
If Cleopatra hadn't had an Accident, Even If the Organization Knew that Funato was contacting a Frenchman, they wouldn't have acted so quickly. They would Probably have to Investigate what Jacques Bernard's Identity was and how much he Knew. He would also have an Opportunity to let Public Security arrest Jacques Bernard One Step Ahead.
But there was no If. Due To Cleopatra's Exposure, when he mentioned Jacques Bernard, Cleopatra's Person of Rumor, to Funato, the Organization's Action Team immediately Confirmed that Jacques Bernard was very likely a Special Agent, and rushed over to Dispose of Jacques Bernard and those people.
Fortunately, he was Searching Jacques Bernard's Home alone at that Time, and took away the Intelligence Jacques Bernard had collected on various parties in Japan. Otherwise, if he had waited for the Organization's people to go over to Search Jacques Bernard's Home and Discovered those Intelligence, it would have been another Disaster for their Public Security and National Defense.
Who Knew what the Organization would use those Intelligence for?
Anyway, it was not much better than falling into the Hands of the French General Directorate for External Security.
"Looking at it this way, Cleopatra and Jacques Bernard have been maintaining Connection since they met at the end of the year before last, secretly dating behind the Organization's back," Amuro Toru Analyzed, "Perhaps one party Discovered the other party's hidden Identity, or Perhaps they confessed to each other. Afterwards, Cleopatra agreed to provide Jacques Bernard with Intelligence of the Organization. This time, Cleopatra Should have acted without Jacques Bernard's Knowledge, Otherwise Jacques Bernard would not have met with Funato."
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei Agreed with Amuro Toru's Inference.
In this way, all the Clues were connected.
One side was a Member of a Criminal Organization, and the other side was a Member of an Intelligence Agency. The two sides met and fell in Love. Cleopatra was moved by Jacques Bernard and wanted to abandon Darkness for Sunshine.
Cleopatra was Probably Thinking about the Bad Deeds she had done when she was trapped in Darkness. In order to be accepted by the French General Directorate for External Security as a Special Agent's lover or even Wife after leaving the Organization, she began to do some Things for the Department where her lover was.
After providing some insignificant little Intelligence, Cleopatra became a little anxious and Stared at this Tempting Bait.
Therefore, Cleopatra first provided Jacques Bernard with Information about Funato, prompting the two to meet, wanting Jacques Bernard to obtain Building Intelligence from Funato.
But Afterwards, Rum suddenly issued a Command to 'abandon the Investigation and withdraw all Personnel'. Cleopatra guessed that the Operative of the Organization would Probably Silencing those eight people soon. She didn't have Time to wait for Jacques Bernard to slowly negotiate with Funato, and Decided to venture to the Rental House herself to find it, and get the Data in the simplest and fastest way.
Although the Building Information in this Data was all within Japan, it would be very Beneficial for the French General Directorate for External Security to use it to Strike the Organization, Exchange Benefits with Public Security, or use it to cover up Spy Activities.
If Cleopatra got this Data, she could immediately defect from the Organization and be protected by the French General Directorate for External Security, and live happily ever Afterwards with her beloved.
Pity there was no If, and the two became a pair of doomed lovebirds.
It really is a small Discovery of fear of Love and fear of marriage every Day.
Thinking, the corner of Chi Feichei's mouth curled up in a Meaning Unknown Degree. He himself didn't Know whether it was ridicule or something else.
If these two people had not met and fallen in Love, they really wouldn't have died.
Red and black Love is so romantic... and they die quickly.
And Just Like what he said to Yingqu Yan Nan, only people with firm Belief can be strong and fearless. Persist in good Belief, and stubbornly stand on whatever Angle you stand on.
Whether it is right or Evil, this kind of person will live longer, at least longer than Cleopatra, who betrayed her Original Belief.
Once the Original Belief collapses, people will be at a Loss, and Openings will be seen everywhere from Behavior to Mind.
Fortunately, he is an unyielding person.
Even If his Belief was different from others from the very Beginning.
"Advisor?" Amuro Toru Looked at Chi Feichei with an Expression of 'seeing a Ghost'.
Did the Advisor actually smile Just Now?
Although the smile was too faint, and he couldn't Understand Why Chi Feichei was smiling, it was very rare to See Chi Feichei smile, and it didn't carry any Danger or Morbid Taste Aura, which made him even more Understood what was so funny about what he had Just Said.
"It's nothing," Chi Feichei restrained his smile, "What about that Funato? The Clues that Gin and I have grasped are that he may harbor Resentment against the Organization and want to Retaliation against the Organization, so he instigated others to keep the Intelligence of the Organization's Buildings."
"Judging from a page of Document obtained from Jacques Bernard, he Investigated Funato. Funato has a twin brother who entered Todai University's Biology Department eight years ago. He was a very Talented Young Man, but he died in a Shooting less than a year after entering school. The Murderer has never been found," Amuro Toru rubbed his chin, "Looking at the Style of Action, the Shooting case eight years ago was very likely done by the Organization. Then Funato Should have come for Revenge."
Chi Feichei Nodded slightly. He didn't Understand the Shooting case eight years ago, and Funato was already dead, so he couldn't bring any Trouble. This Matter doesn't need to be Investigated further.
This time, after Calculation, the Organization Clean Up a problematic person, and did not lose Data, not a Loss; while Amuro Toru seemed to have not obtained any useful Intelligence about the Organization, but helped Public Security recover the Intelligence in the Hands of another Spy, grasped the List of people bought by Overseas Spies over the years, and brushed up a Merit in the Organization, instead becoming the biggest winner.
He suddenly wanted to Ask Amuro Toru, whether Amuro Toru had obtained a not low Position in the National Police Agency at a young Age, and whether his Merit had been Accumulation by venturing to Infiltration the Organization...
Amuro Toru doing this is really Like a Gambling. If he wins, there will naturally be Benefits, but he has to put his Life on the Card Table as a Bet first.
