Chapter 140 The Trouble of Memory

Day 11 of the road survival game!

"Zero?" Zhu Fu felt that Zero accepted it too easily, just like himself when he found out, seemingly calm and rational on the surface, but actually in a mess inside. He couldn't help but worry about Zero's current state.

Upon hearing his worried voice, Furuya Rei immediately softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, I will investigate as much information as possible related to the Silver Bullet before you come next time."

Regarding your question about the possibility of Gin getting into trouble during a joint operation between the US and Japan, based on my deduction, it is unlikely to happen within the next year or two. Currently, there is absolutely no indication that the Japanese Public Security Bureau is cooperating with the US FBI.

The investigation into the organization has now come to a standstill. Many of the organization's bases and industries have not yet been investigated, and most importantly, the identity of the organization's boss has not yet been determined.

Therefore, unless some major unforeseen event occurs this year that exposes the organization's boss, it's unlikely that a large-scale operation against the organization will take place in March or April of next year.

"Hey! Furuya, are you really okay?" Matsuda asked, becoming worried after hearing him say that.

Hagiwara then walked over and added, "Given Kofuruya's personality, he should have asked all the questions related to this matter and only believed it if there was concrete evidence. How could he believe it just because he heard it from someone who didn't even see Komorofushi?"

"I'll just believe you directly, saving you the trouble of providing evidence, isn't that great?" Even though Furuya Rei was in a heavy mood, he couldn't help but be speechless at his close friends' reactions, but their worries did make him feel much better.

Thinking it over, he explained, "The reason I accepted Hiro's words so quickly, besides trusting him, is also because I experienced the same thing in my past experiences and in your new memories after changing Hiro's fate."

In one memory, Hiro was chased by Shuichi Akai to the point of being forced to commit suicide. In the other memory, he was also chased by Shuichi Akai and entered the area most severely affected by the geological disaster, where his fate was unknown. This made me feel a strong hostility towards him.

Before his identity was exposed, the organization had been targeting him and secretly investigating him. After his identity was exposed, I used the organization's manpower and intelligence network to conduct a more detailed investigation of him, and I made an unexpected discovery.

Before joining the organization, he had a relationship with a female FBI agent who was also his liaison when he was undercover in the organization. Shuichi Akai infiltrated the organization 5 years ago and fled back to the United States 2 years ago after his identity was exposed.

The female agent was clearly 5 years younger than him. According to the US regulations for recruiting FBI agents, applicants must have at least three years of professional work experience after graduating from university. She was only 22 years old when Shuichi Akai infiltrated the organization, which is the age when he had just graduated from university.

Normally, she wouldn't be qualified to join the FBI. Even assuming she's a so-called genius college student, based on my investigation, Shuichi Akai is even more of a genius, having earned two doctoral and master's degrees during his university years.

She was still 26 years old and had been working for three years before being recruited by the FBI. She only had a regular American university degree and didn't seem like a specially recruited genius. So I thought she might have some secrets related to the FBI and conducted an in-depth investigation.

After careful investigation, I discovered that she was actually an unidentified person who had changed her name, identity, and background after being protected by the US Witness Protection Program. The US Witness Protection Program is very troublesome to investigate, and I spent a lot of time but still couldn't find out her true identity.

Instead, I made a startling discovery after trying to investigate her information by entering it into the organization's database... After confirming that she was the orphan of a senior FBI agent, I investigated her father because of questions such as why the organization had her information.

The investigation revealed that her father was actually the commander of the FBI infiltrators who had infiltrated the organization. Under his command, his partner, another FBI agent, uncovered intelligence sufficient to uproot the organization and formally apply for an arrest warrant.

Incredibly, on the very night he submitted his investigation report and application for an arrest warrant, his home was struck by fire, killing him and his wife instantly, and also declaring their only daughter dead.

Coincidentally, the organization's database recorded that on the same day, one of the organization's members with an operational code name was confirmed to be an FBI undercover agent, and the case was solved! I had always thought that the investigation results of this matter indicated that the organization had planted a high-ranking spy within the US government.

That's why he leaked information when the female detective's father submitted the arrest warrant application, leading to his own demise on the same day as his partner. But after hearing what you said today, I realize there's another possibility!

Rei Furuya paused here, then continued in an ambiguous tone, "After Hiro's incident, I not only investigated Shuichi Akai, but also what happened during the period from when he received the news to when he began to evacuate, even though the investigation results showed that everything was normal."

Hiro was just unlucky; he encountered a series of unfortunate accidents that day, which led to his failed evacuation and being forced into a trap by the organization. But I always felt that something was wrong with what happened back then, until last year when the president of one of the three major Japanese automakers was exposed for murdering someone.

He was silenced within two hours of being exposed, and his family members perished in a fire at their home. This method was very similar to the organization's method of eliminating all traces, which made me subconsciously arrange for the police to investigate. I also tested the waters with the organization myself.

It turned out he was actually one of the organization's members—Pisco, and the car manufacturing plant under Pisco's name was the one that Hiro mentioned with that huge check...

The rest shouldn't need much explanation; you can probably guess what my thoughts and suspicions were after hearing Hiro's words and knowing all this.

.

"Heh... If you can receive an arrest warrant application that involves the annihilation of an organization, it must be an arrest warrant application for all members of the organization. The court that can accept and approve this level of arrest warrant must be a court with a Supreme Court level judge."

If an organization's spies could truly rise to the level of the Supreme Court, the United States would have been under their control long ago. Why would they need to hide their identities? Therefore, the person who leaked this information must not be an organization spy.

On the contrary, the most suspicious people are those who have access to the application for the arrest warrant, and why would they do something that encourages crime? The persecution of their own colleagues cannot be explained without prior knowledge.

Officials at the level of the Supreme Court's unit are no longer easily bribed with money, so after learning about the existence of the Silver Bullet and the fact that it had already been researched to some extent...

This explains the illogical parts of this reasoning. It's only natural that the behind-the-scenes capital on the US government side would betray its own people to the organization in order to achieve immortality.

Almost a copy of the US political structure, the Japanese government, which is also controlled by the capital circles of the US and Japan, will naturally take similar measures when it comes to the possibility of leaks regarding the organization and the existence of the silver bullet.

In fact, Komobushi had already been driven to his death by them once, and all of this matched what Komobushi had said, so what he said must be true..." Upon hearing Furuya Rei's answer, Hagiwara immediately expressed what he would think if he were in the other person's position.

This made him both amused and slightly regretful as he 'complained' about his friend's absurdly strong instantaneous reasoning and reaction speed: "Tsk! I was hoping to wait until I had the chance to meet you in person later to tell you that Xiao Zhufu might have been driven to a dead end by his own people, so I could see how you would react!"

According to Xiao Zhufu, after several years of training in the organization, you've combined the skills of all of us. Your social skills are far superior to mine, and you're especially adept at using your innocent baby face to fool others..."

"Hey!! Can you keep hiding your dark side? Don't treat your long-lost friends with your dark side!" Hearing him say that, Furuya Rei, feeling like he had escaped a disaster, couldn't help but show his beady eyes.

Hagiwara, however, said with a grin, "This is just a friendly greeting, where's the blackening? Don't wrong me!"

"Hagiwara..."

Just as Furuya Rei was about to say something, Matsuda grabbed Hagiwara by the back of his collar, pulled him away from his phone, and clicked his tongue, saying, "Tsk! You two, that's enough. Is this the time to bicker?"

Time is limited, don't waste it on pointless banter. Let's get back to exchanging useful information. According to what Furuya just said, we're in big trouble!

"Huh? What big trouble?" Feng Xingshou was listening to the gossip from the US FBI with interest, wondering if it was some kind of spy from the organization who had tricked the parents of Shuichi Akai's girlfriend.

Or were the US government officials themselves setting her parents up for the silver bullet? Matsuda's words caught my attention, and I blurted out the question. Only after asking did I realize that Matsuda couldn't hear me at all, and I felt a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Hagiwara, while tugging at his collar to relieve the discomfort from Kojin's earlier tugging, answered her question: "It should be the memory problem that Kofuruya mentioned!"

Judging from his tone, it seems that if we change the fate of Komobushi and Miyano Akemi's death, everyone related to them will gain two sets of memories. This means that even if your brother doesn't know about Miyano Akemi's side of things.

He must have realized that the ending of Xiao Zhufu being Scotland had been changed, and since we didn't know the phone could pick up your voice, he heard you say something from the future.

Your brother will definitely suspect that we changed the fate of Scotland, and then he'll definitely wonder why we saved a Japanese policeman? What's our relationship with this Japanese policeman...etc.?"
