Chapter 244

The root cause of the communication problems between the two sides is naturally Usaku Saiki himself.

What Usaku Saiki told Miyano Akemi was to find a way to trick Gin into silencing her, and leave the rest to him.

To be honest, Miyano Akemi was very uneasy, but thinking that Usaku Saiki wouldn't need to go to such lengths to kill her, she cooperated.

As for what Usaku Saiki meant by "leaving the rest to him," she had no idea what he had done. She only realized that Usaku Saiki hadn't forgotten about it when she received the bulletproof vest.

From Usakabe Saiki's perspective, he didn't actually do much. He just waited until Miyano Akemi's side was more or less on track, and then found an opportunity to call Scotland.

Scotland was initially confused when she answered the phone: "Huh? You want me to clean for you...? Potts, have you forgotten that I'm no longer your partner?"

“I know, but Gin wants to kill Miyano Akemi, and I’m all alone here. I don’t want strangers cleaning…”

Scotland:"……???"

Scotland, who had initially thought it was just another case of Usui Saiki acting crazy and looking for trouble, had already figured out how to deal with him. However, upon hearing the key phrase and discovering that his friend's first love's daughter was about to be killed by Gin, he immediately changed his mind.

Why did Gin kill your nanny?

That's the question, but as for why, Scotland roughly knows a little bit, after all, he has a childhood friend with her, and he is actually quite concerned about what's going on with Miyano Akemi. In short, he's been implicated by the FBI again.

However, Scotland's relationship with Miyano Akemi was only so-so, so it was not convenient to ask around. Therefore, relevant information was slow and scarce. But he also knew that, given Gin's personality, it was not impossible for him to have murderous intentions. Fortunately, Usaku Saiki made this call to him, otherwise he might not have heard a word about the person's death.

Usoppei gritted his teeth in resentment: "It's all because of that FBI! Even after running away, they won't stop! They even dragged my nanny into this! Gin is such a waste. Didn't he go to America last year to kill Shuichi Akai? He didn't even manage to scratch him before slinking back. Everyone who saw this would say that Gin let the FBI off easy!"

Scotland: "...Yes."

"That's all for now. Are you free lately?"

Scotland pondered for a moment, then began to probe: "When are you planning to kill Gin? Is Miyano Akemi really too busy to clean for you today?"

Usoba Saiki replied, "I'm going to kill you tomorrow. I can't exactly tell Miyano Akemi that Gin lied to you and never intended to let you go. So you clean up the mess today and I'll send you on your way tomorrow, right? Akemi and I are such good friends!"

Scotland couldn't help but complain: "You're so close to her, didn't you even remind her?"

“I’m different from undercover agents like you. Since it’s the boss’s order, I have to obey it.”

Scotland:"…………"

If this were a Scotsman who had just joined the organization, his heart would probably be racing at 120 bpm by now. But now, he has evolved; he is Niu Gulu Scotsman, and he remains completely calm upon hearing this.

Over the years, Scotland and Bourbon have already confirmed that Usakabe Saiki knew their identities as undercover agents a long time ago.

However, since the other party, whether out of a mischievous sense of humor, out of consideration for his adoptive father, or out of concern that if they were exposed, they would also reveal the identity of the undercover agent, thus affecting his enjoyment in the organization, did not provide any evidence to expose them.

So they pretended not to know that Usaku Saiki was the adopted son of an undercover agent, thus maintaining this balance.

The consequence of doing so is that they cannot ascertain Usoya Saiki's true stance.

If you say he's on the side of justice... Usakata helped the organization drive away the FBI undercover agents, and when he saw they were undercover agents, he directly accused them of being police undercover agents.

But if you say he's on the side of the organization... Bo Yezaki never provides evidence when identifying undercover agents, and when asked, he just says it's his own judgment. Besides, he didn't do any real work and was idle. If it really comes down to a final reckoning, he committed fewer crimes than all of them undercover agents.

Bourbon and Scotland discussed it and felt that Usakabe Saiki was just someone who was good enough to the organization on a superficial level. Since he was in HR, if he recognized an undercover agent, he would definitely have to tell them. Whether they believed him or not was up to them.

But if it affects his mood, he'll just say he doesn't like it and kick you out, no matter if it's for love or justice.

In other words, if they try to threaten Usaku Saiki with the excuse that "you are the adopted son of an undercover agent and must stand with us," then their undercover careers are probably coming to an end.

Usakabe Saiki's capricious and unrestrained behavior, disregarding right and wrong and indulging in his own carefree ways, along with his occasional displays of illogical behavior that are hard to discern as genuine or merely an act, truly makes him seem mentally unstable. This makes his claim of falling off a tank and hitting his head seem quite believable.

So much so that Scotland didn't know whether Usui Saiki was calling him now to ask him to help with the cleaning, or to deliberately leak information to him...

Uh, it shouldn't be about leaking information, right? After all, he doesn't really have any relationship with Miyano Akemi on the surface. He wouldn't go to save her just because they know each other. If he were that soft-hearted, why would he be an undercover agent?

As for discovering his relationship with Bourbon and knowing Bourbon's feelings for Miyano Akemi... that's even more impossible.

So it was just a casual complaint after all.

"Does it have to be today?" Scotland sighed, still wanting to look after the little madman out of respect for his senior. "I'm not in Tokyo right now, but I can pass through Tokyo Port tomorrow."

Although Gin has not yet told Chianti the details and location of the mission, this is not a problem for Usui Saiki.

When Miyano Akemi and Gin had already arranged a meeting place, he was able to locate it using the "universal navigation".

"Oh, then let's do it tomorrow. If you're lucky, you might just catch Gin committing murder over at the port warehouse."

Scotland:"…………"

After agreeing to clean at Usui Saiki's house the next day and make tempura while he was at it, Scotland immediately contacted Bourbon and relayed his new information.

Bourbon: "...??? Isn't the time and place basically confirmed?"

Although Usakabe Saiki gave a generous timeframe of tomorrow, if we start lying in ambush from dawn, we won't miss it.

It's unbelievable that such important information could easily reach the ears of Scotland just because Miyano Akemi couldn't go to clean for Usui Saiki. Bourbon just couldn't believe it.

"Was that guy really not telling you on purpose?" Bourbon asked doubtfully.

"...If he didn't know you were interested in Ms. Miyano, then it probably wasn't intentional..."

Bourbon nervously recalled, "...I think I met Akemi in front of him. Did I reveal anything at the time?"

Scotland sighed helplessly, "I don't know, his judgment of people... is completely unreasonable."

Both of them remained silent for a while.

"Okay, if he didn't realize it, he was just saying it casually. But if he did realize it and specifically told you this... does he want me to save Mingmei?"

After many years, Bourbon had to start trying to figure out what Usaba Saiki was thinking again, but he felt a bit rusty and couldn't quite understand the thought process of a mentally ill person.

Scottish was naturally tolerant, and considering he was an adopted son of a senior, he generally didn't hold grudges against Bo Yezaki unless it involved matters of principle. At this moment, he couldn't help but think the best of him: "This child is indeed not a bad person; perhaps he's on our side..."

“I think you’re overthinking it.” Bourbon cruelly shattered Scotland’s illusions. “First of all, the idea that he deliberately leaked information is just our guess. Most likely, he just wanted to explain why he asked you to be a nanny. Secondly… you said he wanted Akemi to live to annoy Gin, or that he’s been looking for trouble with the organization lately… or even that he lacks maternal love and doesn’t want to see familiar women die, which is more plausible than your guess.”

Scotland:"…………"

"Anyway, I'll handle things here. After all, she's the cadre's older sister, so there's some reason to mobilize the police." Bourbon had to thank Shirley; otherwise, with just an ordinary person and no information, at most just someone who was the cadre's nanny, it wouldn't have been easy to use the police to rescue her.

He might be exposed if he acts alone.

Fortunately, there was Shirley, an executive, so they told the higher-ups that rescuing her could be used as leverage to get in touch with Shirley.

If Gin is going to make his move tomorrow, then he'd better hurry... Usui Saiki definitely isn't that kind-hearted. If he really wanted to, couldn't he have told him a few days in advance?! Half a day is way too short!

On this day, as agreed, Scotland came to Usaku Saiki's house to cook and clean.

When Usoppō Saiki opened the door for him, his smile was very bright and infectious.

If he weren't still worried about Miyano Akemi and Bourbon, Scotland would have laughed along. But out of curiosity, he asked casually, "Did something good happen?"

"Ah, that's good news. Chianti just called to say it's all sorted out."

Scotland: "...What's done?"

Usakabe Saiki's light green eyes, reminiscent of spring, sparkled with obvious joy. His tone was content, and his expression carried a touch of childlike, innocent cruelty.

"I told her to make her move before Gin could, to make Gin feel disgusted for at least a week, and Chianti succeeded!"

Scotland:"…………"

His heart sank.

Bonus chapter!

It will later be revealed that Akemi Miyano is not dead:

Thin Leaf: I only found out where you met from Chianti that very day! Chianti only found out at the last minute, so it has nothing to do with me or Chianti!

Chianti: Yeah, Gin was dragging his feet and wouldn't fire. From that angle, it was clearly aimed at the abdomen; it wouldn't kill anyone. I even shot at the heart and was about to finish him off when Gin told us to retreat! What? Why is she alive? Maybe Miyano Akemi's heart is on the right side!

Gin: …………

Vodka: Brother, why aren't you laughing?

(It must have transferred to the faces of you readers!)
