Chapter 212 Good intentions gone wrong

◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎

As a result, not long after both sides learned of this intelligence, his investigation, which could have uncovered even more about the Symbiotic Cult, suddenly received orders from both sides, and these orders were closely related.

Moreover, logically speaking, the root cause of these two transfer orders lies with the top brass of the Japanese Public Security Administration. If the top brass of the Japanese Public Security Administration had not proposed that "fishing plan," and if it had not been spread to the point of being known to everyone in the Public Security Headquarters at the very beginning of the planning stage...

If the organization were to gather relevant intelligence, and the organization's intelligence-gathering capabilities happened to be those of him, Vermouth, and Binga, who were in the United States at the time, they would naturally infiltrate the Public Security Headquarters to investigate the authenticity of this intelligence, which would lead the organization to recall them to Japan.

Therefore, these two mission orders undoubtedly indicate that some high-ranking members of the Japanese Public Security Administration do not want me to delve deeper into the Symbiosis Cult's intelligence, and deliberately devised this plan to interrupt my continued investigation of the Symbiosis Cult in the United States.

Especially after learning that Hiro's identity was 'exposed' because he only knew a little bit about the research and development of the silver bullet drug, and then seeing this suspicious fishing plan, Bourbon keenly realized that this matter might have endangered him.

Some people may use this plan and the organization to get rid of themselves, the Japanese public security undercover agents who investigated the Symbiosis Cult, just like they tried to get rid of Hiro, this 'trouble'.

Does this mean that the person manipulating all of this is also connected to the Symbiosis Cult? Is it like APTX4869, where the higher-ups don't want a large number of members within the Public Security Bureau to know? Or is the other party also a member of the Symbiosis Cult?

After all, the diary mentioned that the cult had members in various countries around the world, and that it only accepted people with power and status as followers. Certain capitalists or high-ranking officials in Japan should be qualified to join...

However, Bourbon already knew that there were corrupt officials within the high-ranking Japanese public security officials and even the government last year when he met with his friends; he just didn't know the types of these corrupt officials.

He wasn't surprised that he might have discovered their lungs were being targeted, but he was more concerned about the truth behind the matter, or rather, the source of the information that those parasites obtained from his investigation of the Symbiosis Cult.

This matter is of great importance. He didn't even inform Kazami. He clearly remembers that he only reported it to his direct superior, Manager Kuroda, in the Public Security Bureau, and deliberately emphasized that the followers of the Symbiosis Cult involve high-ranking officials in various countries, and that there may be their people in the Japanese high-ranking officials as well.

Before he received the specific list and confirmed the identities of the believers in Japan, he asked the administrator, Kuroda, not to report it to his superiors to avoid leaks and being noticed by the symbiotic cult members. The administrator, Kuroda, agreed.

As for the other person in the know, it's the organization's boss. Anyway, if he doesn't report it, Vermouth, who is acting with him, will. If he doesn't say anything, the organization's boss will suspect him. Also, with Binga around, Rum is probably in the know as well.

In this situation, who leaked the information? Although on the surface, only the superintendent Kuroda was aware of the situation on the Japanese Public Security side, since it was a "fishing plan" devised by high-ranking officials of the Japanese Public Security, he was the most suspicious person. He may have broken his promise to himself and reported the matter to his superiors.

.

But Bourbon didn't think so. The reason he trusted Manager Kuroda wasn't because of the professional ethics of a new Japanese public security officer, but because he knew that Manager Kuroda was capable of such things.

The organization was not only a cancer on Japan, but also an enemy that had robbed him of more than 10 years of his life, including an eye and physical health. Moreover, like him, they believed that APTX4869 was a forbidden drug that should never appear in the world.

And this is not a high-sounding excuse. In fact, if he were to lie about this, he would have done so by deliberately reporting the information about APTX4869 to test him and see if he was the corrupt official he was investigating.

He would have used his power to order me to get him APTX4869, to make him young again, to restore his health and that eye, but he didn't do that.

Instead, he ordered himself to maintain silence with the Zero Group and his superiors outside of it, not to disclose any relevant information, and to completely destroy the drug's samples and all research and development data and equipment whenever possible.

Such a reaction left him with nothing suspicious. If anything, he found the person who had previously led Kuroda and was responsible for liaising with him and Hiro more suspicious.

After all, he learned from future intelligence that Hiro's incident was suspected to be due to betrayal within the Public Security Bureau, and began to investigate. His direct superior was suddenly transferred, and Kuroda, who had always served as his deputy, was promoted.

Despite the above explanation given to him and Chief Administrator Kuroda, it was because Chief Administrator Kuroda had awakened from a vegetative state and his organs and body were severely deteriorating, requiring reconstruction in order to fully perform public security work. Therefore, he could only serve as the deputy public security officer investigating the organization while undergoing reconstruction.

But everything was too coincidental. He had just started his investigation when the other party was transferred. Moreover, due to the confidentiality regulations of the Public Security Bureau, he, as a cadre of the Public Security Planning Section and the leader of the Zero Group, could not know the specific information about the other party's transfer, current position, work direction, family members, etc.

In short, under these circumstances, it is impossible for Kuroda, the superintendent, to be a "parasite within the public security group" who leaked information, so there is only one other possibility left.

Besides himself, a Japanese Public Security mole planted in the organization, those hidden "parasites" within the Japanese Ministry of Public Security actually had other informants within the organization, who were likely even more trusted by the organization's boss or Rum than he was.

The other party received the information that he, Vermouth, or Binga reported to the organization's boss and Rum through the organization, and was also aware of it from the organization. The 'parasites' did not receive the same information from the Public Security Bureau.

He deduced that he had noticed the darkness within the Japanese Public Security Bureau and had become suspicious of them. Then, perhaps in order to obstruct the investigation of the Symbiosis Cult, or to eliminate him, a pawn out of their control, they deliberately set up this fishing plan.

Before returning home, Bourbon was merely suspicious without any evidence. However, after returning home, he pretended to follow his superior's orders as before and had no doubts about the fishing plan, but secretly he was monitoring the execution of the plan.

He discovered that the plan, which was originally intended to prevent the leakage of his name and intelligence information, had been passed on to his colleagues by Rum, who had already arranged for people to carry out the operation. Suddenly, his name appeared on the list, and not only his name, but also his specific information was included.

This made him completely certain that the so-called 'fishing plan' was not targeting any members of the organization, but rather him personally. It was the dark side within the Public Security Bureau that felt he was in the way and wanted to eliminate him like Hiro had been...

.

Of course, Bourbon was not blindly loyal, nor was he prepared to sit idly by and wait for his doom. After discovering the other party's purpose, he simply turned the tables and pretended not to notice that his name was on the list.

Secretly, he used his knowledge of the public security information database to hack into the public security system's information database and tampered with his own information. Apart from leaving behind the pseudonym Amuro Tooru and the code name Bourbon, he changed everything else to the information of the suspicious former superior that he had already investigated.

They're preparing to use the organization's resources to investigate where the guy who almost killed Hiro is hiding. What's his true identity? How deep is the water hidden within...?

Unfortunately, his plan was perfect. He deliberately held back when fighting Curaçao, allowing her to escape from the Public Security Headquarters. But he didn't expect that Shuichi Akai would show up and get in the way again.

He was pretending to be seriously chasing Curaçao, but he was actually slacking off while driving. Akai Shuichi somehow got wind of this and suddenly appeared halfway through, constantly forcing Curaçao's car to move in his direction...

As a result, the message he wanted Curaçao to convey seemed to have not been fully transmitted; he only passed on his code name and commonly used pseudonym to the organization, causing his desired objective to fail.

This guy still has the nerve to say he's showing his sincerity? Bourbon was almost laughing at Akai Shuichi's antics, and angrily swung his fist at him: "I don't need your meddling at all!"

If it weren't for this guy, with the organization's power, I could probably have already investigated the person who almost killed Hiro and avenged my childhood friend. It's all because of this guy! In the original future, Hiro was also driven to a dead end by this guy...

"Hey! Bourbon, don't mistake your enemy." Shuichi Akai didn't know why the person in front of him was so resentful, and he didn't know that he had done something good but ended up messing things up again and tricking Bourbon once more.

He could only dodge Bourbon's punches while trying to communicate and reconcile with him: "If you're still angry about Scotland, I'm sorry, but Scotland's fate has changed, and you should calm down now..."

"Shut up!" Mentioning Scotland only made him angrier. This guy was practically his nemesis. Hiro's fate had driven him to suicide, but now that Hiro's fate had changed, he wanted to find out who had wronged Hiro.

This guy ruined things again! Thinking of this, his fist hardened again. Just as he was clenching his fist, ready to punch Akai Shuichi again, his police-issued cell phone beeped. Seeing this, he had no choice but to stop and reach for his phone to answer.

"Hey! Amuro-san, where are you right now?" Conan's childish and cute, yet anxious voice came from the phone.

"Conan?" Amuro Tooru looked slightly surprised when he heard Conan's voice. "I'm at the Tokyo Aquarium right now, doing some things, but I was interrupted by some annoying guy."
