Chapter 109 Dangerous Psychology

"Hagi! You mean..." Even Matsuda was taken aback when he heard his childhood friend's words.

Hagiwara nodded to Matsuda: "It's still uncertain what exactly is going on in Japan, but I believe that if Kofuya is aware of the situation, he won't become a pawn of Japanese capital."

The fear is that those behind the scenes will deliberately exploit his strong patriotism, not giving him any real intelligence, making him believe that he is acting to protect Japan and safeguard its interests, while the actual beneficiaries are not the people of the country.

The fact that the US sent the FBI, which has no law enforcement authority, and did not cooperate or communicate with other countries to deal with a transnational criminal organization clearly suggests that this transnational criminal organization is up to no good and that other countries should not know its secrets.

In addition, although the medicine in today's dungeon was developed by Miyano Akemi's sister, you can see that she is at most under 30 years old, and her sister is definitely younger. A researcher under 30 years old, even if he is a genius.

Based on our understanding of pharmaceutical research and development, we can deduce that the other party could not possibly develop and create a drug with such special effects from scratch using only their own research capabilities.

Just like with biological viruses, the US also started its research based on Japan's work. Therefore, it can be inferred that the drug was likely also developed and extended from some existing foundations.

"So you mean that the organization Gin works with is researching that poison, or that they may have been researching some kind of longevity or eternal youth drug, and that poison may be one of the results of that research."

"And some large corporations behind the scenes in the US and Japan already knew about this, which is why they didn't communicate with other countries for joint law enforcement, but instead chose to secretly send their own people to investigate, hoping to seize the research results of that organization." Matsuda heard Hagi's speculation.

Although he didn't want to view his country's officials with prejudice, he could only smile wryly and say, "If we're talking about other aspects, I can say with absolute certainty that no matter how selfish, greedy, or profit-driven those men are..."

They wouldn't joke about the lives of the Japanese people, but when it comes to technologies like life extension and eternal youth, I really can't guarantee they won't tamper with them. After all, besides money and power, there's only one other thing that can sway those who hold vast amounts of global power and wealth.

"There's probably a lot more to this than meets the eye." Hagiwara said, then suddenly added something rather cryptic: "Do you really think Komorofushi was forced to commit suicide simply because his identity was exposed?"

"Hagi! Even if you have doubts about the role played by the Japanese Public Security Bureau in the Silver Bullet incident, don't question everything related to it. This kind of mentality is dangerous." Noticing that his close friend's words and actions revealed doubts about the Japanese government itself, Matsuda immediately gave him a warning.

"Heh... You saw right through me again! It was fine when I didn't know the information we got from this instance, but now that I know, it makes Kofuya's account of Komorofushi's death seem very suspicious."

Even though it was in Japan, even in Tokyo, where the rule of law is the strictest in Japan, Komorofushi could only choose to end his own life. He recalled what Kofuya said about the authorities being forced to abandon Komorofushi.

"At this moment, it all feels as if the authorities deliberately let that criminal organization push him into a corner," Hagiwara laughed as usual, but...

There was clearly no genuine laughter in his voice.

Instead, a deeper look appeared on his face: "Jinpei, do you think that Morobushi might have discovered something during his undercover investigation that he himself was unaware of, but that in the eyes of certain people behind the scenes of the Public Security Bureau, absolutely cannot be known by ordinary police officers?"

.

"Hagi! Don't think too much before we have evidence. We'll definitely find out what happened when we go to rescue Jingdan." Matsuda said this, but he couldn't assure his childhood friend that his speculation wouldn't come true.

"Hoo!!" Hagiwara took a deep breath, glanced at the overcast sky outside the car window, and said as if he had made up his mind, "Matsuda, there's something I want to do."

"To change the future where the silver bullet falls into the hands of the officials of the United States and Japan?" As close friends, even before Hagiwara had spoken, Matsuda had already guessed his intentions. It was a testament to their close friendship that they had been able to get along so well since childhood.

They naturally had similarities, so after asking that question, he chuckled and said without waiting for Hagiwara's reply, "Perfect! I had the same idea."

“Are you an idiot? This will be very troublesome to make successful. If you really get involved, you won’t be able to go back for a while.” Hagiwara was not surprised by Matsuda’s words.

In reality, he knew very well that even if he hadn't said it, Kojinpei would have said the same thing. So what he said now was just a self-deprecating remark to his best friend and to himself about his foolishness.

Matsuda glanced at him with her half-moon eyes and retorted irritably, "Who's the real idiot? You've only been a policeman for two months, is it really necessary for you to take on such a heavy responsibility?"

"Cough..." Hagiwara coughed lightly after hearing him say that, and then defended himself: "After all, it involves the lives and deaths of too many people. More than 90 million is less than 100 million, and more than 80 million, or even less, is still less than 100 million."

Feng-chan is quite gentle and considerate of others' feelings. When she brought up this matter, she only described it as the consequence of Japan's population declining to less than 100 million. She never told me the real data, but I guess for her to say that, the data at the time must have been very pessimistic.

This is just Japan; what about other countries? Countries with severe aging populations are likely facing similar outcomes, as are those Western countries that offer more job opportunities to young people… Someone has to clean up this mess.

"Hmm!" Matsuda responded softly, but a thought arose in his mind: he hoped that when he saved Jingdan, the Japanese Public Security Bureau would not disappoint Hagi, who was just a newcomer who had recently graduated from the police academy and joined the force.

The explosives handling team has a relatively simple working environment, and the two months will not expose him to the dark side of the Japanese government. At the same time, it will enhance his perception of the positive image of the Japanese government.

With this mindset, if he were to encounter unforgivable darkness from the official side, knowing the future outcome, his mental state would definitely become dangerous. At least just now, he had already had some thoughts that a Japanese policeman shouldn't have.

Hagiwara was unaware of Matsuda's concern for him at that moment. He hesitated, which was unusual for him, and asked, "By the way, should we tell Kaze-chan about these speculations?"

He was a little worried that if Feng Jiang found out her brother might have been framed by the US and Japanese officials because of that drug, she might take her anger out on him, who was innocent! He didn't want to be liked.

I hate women! -_-||

.

"These are all just speculations, there's no evidence yet. Let's wait until we find some!" Matsuda saw through Hagi's thoughts at a glance and simply stated his own plan.

Although he felt it wasn't wrong to keep their speculations from Fuu-chan without evidence, Hagiwara still said somewhat guiltily, "Ahem! If we find evidence, we definitely need to have a serious talk with Fuu-chan about this!"

"Hmph! If you don't mind, I can tell her right now." Matsuda's tone was clearly sarcastic!

Hagiwara quickly shook his head: "There's no need to be in such a hurry."

At least until I and Fengjiang are officially in a relationship, so I don't get dumped because of this! Looks like I need to speed things up and get official recognition as soon as possible…

So Fengxingshou was busy cooking. After the meal, she forgot to ask about what Hagiwara had said before the car race. She had no idea about the speculation about the silver bullet agent. After the meal, she discussed the next steps with the two of them.

After discussion, the three of them, unsure whether continuing to 2011 would lead to another 2014, decided to continue traveling back in time to reach the past as quickly as possible and rescue the person.

After testing the information on how many years the cycle from 2014 to 2015 had lasted, including when it started and ended, they recalculated the three-year journey based on the arrival time of the current instance and continued driving in the same direction.

On the way, Feng Xingshou thought about the fact that the friend they were going to rescue was a Japanese policeman, and asked curiously, "By the way, since your friend is a Japanese policeman, when we rescue him..."

Should we tell him directly about the upcoming game and have him inform the Japanese government? If the Japanese government finds out, they'll definitely notify other countries!

"Let's see how things go!" If it were before today's dungeon, Hagiwara would have told Komorofushi without hesitation, but the suspicions arising from today's dungeon made him unsure whether telling Komorofushi such important information would yield good results.

Matsuda remained silent, neither objecting nor speaking, which was sometimes a form of agreement.

Feng Xingshou, who had expected them to agree, was taken aback by their attitude. Hadn't they previously been quite supportive of his plan to use their friend's Japanese public security identity to transmit game information? Why did they seem to have a different idea now?

She was just about to ask another question when Hagiwara suddenly said to her, "Kaze-chan, it's time to start today's driving lesson. Do you remember when I taught you this morning..."

Distracted by his question, Feng Xingshou forgot to ask further and focused his attention on learning to drive.

"So easily fooled, she'll suffer later!" Matsuda thought to himself, watching the junior schoolgirl fall for it so easily...

The upgraded car was very fast. Although they were delayed by an hour for lunch and the road was slippery due to rain and snow, they still arrived at the designated location before six o'clock in the afternoon.

This location was calculated to be 3 years before today's copy, and assuming there are no other 2014 cycles, it should be around 11 PM on December 6, 2011.
