Chapter 141 is half true and half false!

Day 11 of the road survival game!

"So if we don't come up with a reasonable explanation, your brother will definitely become suspicious of what we say, and then he will use all means to investigate our information. After all, he knows that we come from the future, so he can deduce that our past must exist in his time."

"If they can investigate our past, they can deduce our purpose in saving Morofushi. In that case, my and Hagi's identities will definitely be exposed, and you, who helped us, may no longer be trusted by your brother." Matsuda said, thinking to himself.

Based on Zhu Fu's description of Gin's personality, he is the typical self-centered type who would rather betray the world than allow the world to betray him. Even if it is his own sister, if she disappoints him, he might completely abandon her in his heart.

Feng Xingshou had no idea what Matsuda was thinking. If she did, she would definitely say that he didn't understand his brother enough. Over the years, she had disappointed him in countless ways.

He tried to learn to shoot a gun but failed; he tried to learn hand-to-hand combat but only got beaten up; he tried to learn a foreign language but couldn't even learn Russian from his own father's side of the language; he even knew only a few swear words like "bastard," "bad guy," and "terrible person"...etc.

Even though she was in such a bad state, her brother still gave her living expenses before the incident, didn't he? At most, he rarely came back to China to see her, which was a kind of behavioral way of avoiding seeing her, but it didn't mean he completely gave up on her.

So when she heard Hagiwara and Matsuda's concerns, she didn't take them to heart: "Then just tell him! It's okay. My brother is just very dedicated. He will do his job to the best of his ability, but he won't be stubborn and inflexible because of it."

"Quite dedicated?" Upon hearing this, Morobuchi and Furuya Rei on the other end of the phone thought about Gin's usual behavior and felt that this adjective was a bit subtle. After all, Gin's actions clearly showed that he was enjoying himself, especially when various countries were making big moves, he would obviously get excited...

Rei Furuya recalled Gin's reaction after he shot down Tokyo Tower on Tanabata last year. Even though the plane crashed, he didn't know what would have happened if Vodka hadn't been a skilled pilot! When he went to investigate after hearing the news, he could see that Rei was particularly excited at the time.

He couldn't help but mutter, "I feel like if you were to tell Gin the truth directly, he might just find an opportunity to kill Hiro. He gets easily overly excited when he's doing this kind of work."

"Uh..." Feng Xingshou thought of his brother, who usually taught him to stay calm and handle various problems rationally, but when he encountered a powerful opponent, he would appear calm and rational on the surface, but actually had a habit of getting excited to the point of madness and rushing to fight head-on.

There's really no way to rule out this possibility! She could only ask somewhat awkwardly, "Then how do you think we should explain this to him about Officer Morifushi? First of all, please don't make me tell him! I don't know how my brother manages to do it, but he can always tell whenever I lie to him."

"Hmm~~~!" Seeing that Kaze-chan had fallen silent because of what he said, Hagiwara quickly thought for a dozen seconds while pondering the question in a wavy tone, and then suggested, "Then why don't we just say it half true and half false!"

"Half true, half false?"

"Which part is true? Which part is false?"

"Um... can I refuse to participate? I'm sure he'll see through me if I speak up!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them asked Hagiwara in unison.

Rei Furuya, on the other end of the phone, was also taken aback. He tapped the steering wheel with his fingers as if out of habit, pondering the meaning behind Hagiwara's words.

.

Hagiwara didn't keep them in suspense and directly stated his thoughts when they asked: "I think we can directly admit to Gin that we saved Morofushi, but of course we can't say that it's because I'm friends with Kojinpei and him."

Once this topic is brought up, no matter how well the police hide it, there's a high chance the organization will find out Kofuruya's identity. So I think you can give your brother a half-truth and half-lies explanation for the reason you saved Kofuruya.

"We've just learned about the silver bullet, and we know how much harm this drug will cause in the future. We've also deduced that the US and Japanese governments are playing a sinister and despicable role in this. Why don't we start working on this?"

"You mean you can fabricate a story for Brother Feng that we'll find out in the future how terrible the silver bullet is, and that officials from both the US and Japan are determined to get their hands on this drug?"

Furthermore, this was originally the organization's property, so traveling back in time to resolve this crisis was one of the objectives. However, we lacked manpower in the past, especially personnel who had sufficient knowledge of the two countries' governments and were determined to prevent such an event from happening.

So you chose Scotland from the organization's past information records?" Matsuda immediately guessed Hagiwara's thoughts thanks to his friend's tacit understanding, but after thinking for a moment, he asked hesitantly, "I feel that explanation is a bit far-fetched."

There are definitely many people in the organization, and I suspect there are even infiltrators within the Japanese government system. In Gin's opinion, there's absolutely no need for us to rescue someone who might not even agree to our terms and is completely loyal to the Japanese government; we can simply use our own people.”

"But what if we add another condition?" Hagiwara winked at the group, hinting, "For example, only beings who have died in the past and no longer exist in historical timelines can travel with us?"

“That’s barely acceptable. After all, one needs to understand the Japanese government, have died once, and be willing to fight against the Japanese government for the sake of the people. The Scottish background makes it more convincing.” Matsuda nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he had no objections.

At that moment, Rei Furuya's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of a smile, "I'll patch this up for you. You can explain to Gin that the investigation into Scotland in the future was actually because of the Silver Bullet."

Forced into the organization's trap by Japanese officials, you chose him because you felt he was easier to persuade after reviewing the information and believing he died from betrayal by his own people. Gin's personality is such that he despises traitors, making this reason more convincing to him.

"OK! Let's leave it at that for now." After Hagiwara agreed, he thought about the purpose of their visit, even though he had already learned from Furuya Rei that it was unlikely that Gin would get into trouble within the next year or two.

I continued to tell him about the suspicious aspects of the CEO of the Bellende Group in the past and future, and asked him to gather relevant information about that area when he had time, so we could exchange intelligence with him next time he came.

.

Rei Furuya readily agreed to the request, as it was valuable intelligence from the future that made him understand that the United States was about to take formal action against the organization.

The Bellendard Group may be their first target. By keeping a close eye on that area, they can gain some insight into the FBI's, or rather, the behind-the-scenes financial circles of the US government's, activities related to the organization...

However, after agreeing, he added, "You speculate that it was the US government that took action against them, but I think it's more likely that Rum took action first, and the US and Japanese governments may have taken advantage of the internal strife to sneak in and out, like a mantis stalking a cicada unaware of its prey."

After all, judging from the information Gin revealed last time, there is a big problem between the organization's boss and Rum. Although Gin is the type of person that Gin dislikes, his intuition is indeed very sharp.

Since he believes that Rum caused his downfall, it is highly likely that Rum played a significant role in the organization's eventual collapse at the hands of the US and Japan.

Especially after gaining Rum's trust and seeing his true face in the two years following the exposure of Shuichi Akai's identity, he clearly understood Rum's resentment towards him for losing his eye during their interactions.

And just like his catchphrase "time is money," he would occasionally blurt out when things went wrong in organizing and commanding—"We really need to find this eye again."

At the time, Furuya Rei thought he was just venting his pain and resentment over losing an eye, but after learning about the effects of the silver bullet, he couldn't help but have another idea. Rum also knew that the organization was researching the silver bullet.

However, it seems he wasn't qualified to take the silver bullet to rejuvenate himself to the point where he still had the eye he lost? Is that why he became increasingly dissatisfied with the organization's boss, gradually developing a desire to betray him and take his place in order to obtain the silver bullet and restore his eye?

Or perhaps the organization's research hasn't reached the point where it can completely control the effects of this anti-aging drug, and they're currently using the silver bullet as poison? But he knew that Sherry was making the fastest and best progress in researching the silver bullet.

Therefore, he was very dissatisfied that the organization's boss had allowed Gin to kill Miyano Akemi, which led to Sherry's defection and the slow progress of the Silver Bullet research after Sherry's defection. After enduring for several years without getting the results he wanted, he launched a rebellion against the organization's boss.

Just as Furuya Rei was considering these possibilities, Hagiwara and Matsuda, because they had only been infiltrating the organization for a short time when Morofushi was in trouble, and were snipers, did not have as much information about the organization as Furuya Rei, who was an intelligence officer.

Naturally, he was unaware of the subtle relationship between the organization's boss and Rum, the organization's well-known confidant of the boss. Hearing Furuya Rei say this, he was surprised: "Rum? The organization's second-in-command that Morofushi mentioned, what happened to him?"

"Why do you suspect him more than the officials of both countries?" Matsuda knew that Furuya wouldn't say that without a reason.

Kazesei had already heard from Inspector Morofushi that this guy, codenamed Rum, seemed to be his brother's rival in the organization. Now that he heard about something related to his brother's rival, he immediately perked up his ears and focused on listening to Inspector Furuya's answer.
