Chapter 224 Iori Muga

◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎

Gin suddenly gave Scotland a sarcastic smile, but answered Hagiwara's question earlier: "Yes, there is, and it's related to the rat in this Public Security Bureau next to you."

"Oh! I'm very interested! After all, I almost got caught today with the label of an undercover agent." Bourbon's heart tightened when he heard Gin's words, which were clearly aimed at Hiro. He was worried that Gin would kill Hiro, but he showed a dangerous smile and even deliberately released his killing intent towards Hiro.

Scotland glanced subtly at his childhood friend and the person next to him with his gentle, jade-like gaze, then moved towards Gin. After a moment's thought, he suddenly realized, "Could it be that there's more to the story behind the investigation into how I exposed my identity with the organization?"

He thought it over and over, and the only thing he felt he could be involved in Gin's investigation was his involvement in the incident where his undercover police identity was inexplicably exposed. He speculated that someone might have deliberately exposed his identity.

Then the other party must have used hidden people within the organization. Otherwise, if it were just the police or higher-ups who had murderous intent towards him and arranged for someone to do it, it would definitely arouse Zero's and his colleagues' suspicions and prompt them to conduct an internal investigation.

"Hmph!" As expected, upon hearing his question, Gin snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "As expected of an elite among a bunch of rats, you do have some brains."

"Ahem... So what exactly happened? You've piqued my curiosity?" Hagiwara couldn't bear to watch his friend being teased and scolded by his future brother-in-law, so he quickly coughed and asked.

Feng Xingshou asked Gin curiously, "Brother, what exactly happened? Tell me more?"

The conversation between the older brother and Inspector Morofushi seems to hold a lot of secrets; perhaps the exciting parts could even be made into a movie!

"When you talked to me last time, didn't you mention that the Ooka family misappropriated the weapons of the Japan Self-Defense Forces? After the incident, it was Ooka Momiji, the daughter of the head of the Ooka family at the time, and her husband who came forward to apologize. Because of her appearance, she was suspected by the outside world to be the illegitimate daughter of the head of the Ooka family."

So when I noticed that the Ooka family was acting strangely in APTX4869, and suspected that they were misappropriating secrets other than weapons, I began to investigate the Ooka family in depth. Surprisingly, during the investigation, I found that I remembered the personal butler who was by Ooka Momiji's side.

Upon returning and comparing the information in the organization's database, it was discovered that he was a member who had already been reported as dead. His name in the organization was Sakakibara, and he was just a low-level member who was dispensable to the organization. He had been reported as dead three years ago.

The reason for his reported death was that his partner in the organization discovered his suspicious behavior and that he was carrying a chip containing information about members of the organization's internal server. They were also preparing to secretly transfer the chip to someone who appeared to be a Japanese public security officer.

After being discovered by his partner, he immediately reported the incident to the organization's higher-ups. Upon receiving the news, the man dispatched men to intercept and pursue him and another person suspected to be a Japanese public security officer.

They eventually succeeded in intercepting the chip and silencing him and another person. It was after that incident that the organization arranged for someone to conduct a source investigation on Sakakibara, since as a junior member of the organization, he had no right to access the organization's servers to retrieve the downloaded information.

"So the organization speculated that the chip he had must have been downloaded by an officer within the organization who was qualified to download information and then handed it to him..." Gin answered when he saw his fat piglet was so curious.

.

"Sakakibara-senpai's real name is Iori Muga. He is also a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, one year ahead of me, and he infiltrated the organization a year earlier. I infiltrated the organization through his introduction."

As for whether the name Iori Muga is his real name? I can't be sure right now. "Iori-senpai is still alive and has become the butler of the Ōoka family patriarch's daughter?" Upon hearing this, Scotland immediately understood.

Numerous speculations led him to smile wryly: "That's why my identity as a police undercover agent was suddenly exposed by the organization that day, but I never downloaded any information from the organization's server."

After all, the organization's server keeps a download record for every download. My superior, when I was sent undercover, famously said that my primary objective in infiltrating the organization was to confirm the identity of the organization's boss so that I could take action against the organization...

Especially after I received the organization's codename and became an organization cadre, my superiors would reiterate this point every time they contacted me, making me prioritize getting in touch with the organization's BOSS, with everything else secondary, and even at other times I should act as an organization member.

In short, my primary task has always been to gain the organization's trust and secure the opportunity to meet the organization's boss in person. Investigating more evidence of the organization's crimes is a secondary task, let alone taking such a big risk for some basic information within the server.

"When the organization was tracing Sakakibara's movements in the days before he obtained the chip, they found that you had entered the same shopping mall one after the other, and that he had lingered for a few seconds in front of the shelves you had been browsing."

Aside from you, he hasn't had any contact with any other organization members besides his partner in the past week, and his partner is also a low-level member of the organization and not qualified to enter the organization's database. Gin's meaning was quite clear.

Given the skill level of the organization's members, a few seconds would be enough for them to steal something from the shelf without leaving a trace, which is why it was he who introduced them to the organization in Scotland.

Based on this surveillance video, the organization suspected that Scotland was also a Japanese Public Security agent planted in the organization. They downloaded some member information from the organization's server and gave it to Sakakibara, who then handed it over to other Japanese Public Security personnel. Therefore, they arranged for someone to hunt him down and silence him.

Scotland's true identity was indeed that of a Japanese Public Security agent. Before the organization began its pursuit, he learned from Bourbon that Iori Muga's identity had been exposed, which implicated him and led the organization to identify him as a Japanese Public Security agent. He never expected there to be other circumstances involved.

Even Bourbon didn't know that the organization judged Hiro to be a public security mole not only because Iori himself exposed himself, but also because of the organization's server information download chip. Yes! If he was suspected of being a Japanese public security officer just because Iori introduced him to Muga.

The organization's judgment was too hasty. After experiencing today's events, when he heard Gin's discovery, he was even more certain that what he said was true, since he and Gil were suspected of being undercover agents of an unknown force today.

After Curaçao released information about their inclusion on the undercover list, Rum and Gin arranged for people to interrogate them to further confirm their undercover identities and the forces behind them.

Scotland was such a useful sniper at the time, and without any suspicious behavior, as an officer of the organization, even if the person who introduced him had problems, the organization would still conduct some interrogation and investigation before deciding whether to keep him or not.

The organization never interrogated or investigated him to confirm whether he was a Japanese public security officer before issuing a kill order, which clearly indicates that his identity had already been confirmed for other reasons beforehand...

Thinking of all this, a dangerous sneer appeared on his face: "It seems that his identity was exposed back then by that guy named Iori Muga! His true allegiance is probably not to the Japanese Public Security Bureau, but to the Ooka family? Or perhaps the Symbiosis Cult?"

"No, if that guy named Iori Muga is still alive, then the guy who reported him as dead to the organization must be problematic. Could that guy already be dead?"

.

Bourbon thought about how, during his usual important investigations, key informants would always be confirmed dead, which was frustrating. He was worried that his investigation into Iori Muga would end up like that.

However, the existence of former Prime Minister Ōoka, Ōoka family head, Iori Muga, and his former boss can be almost confirmed as being related to the Symbiosis Cult. Apart from Iori Muga, the other three can be considered important figures in the top echelons of Japanese society.

The waters of the Symbiosis Cult run even deeper than the organization itself. How many people are there in total? How many of their followers are still in the upper echelons of Japanese society? Bourbon felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

"Heh... Your reaction is quick. Indeed, after I found out that Sakakibara was still alive, I immediately investigated and confirmed the organization member who died. Quite coincidentally, the other party was the partner who reported him at the time, and he died in the sea during a mission more than a month after his death."

"The body was never recovered, nor was it reported in Japanese news. However, a jacket stained with his blood and with a bullet hole in the chest was found near the area where he went missing, leading the organization to conclude that he was dead," Gin said with a cold laugh.

Everyone present immediately understood why Gin had shared such detailed information about the other person's death. The most conflicted and distressed was Scotland: "So, they put on a good show?"

The only one who got tricked was himself, and since Iori is still alive, how could the other person really be dead?

"Scotland, you don't need to be too sad. There were several other members of the organization responsible for pursuing them who were also tricked at the time. They all disappeared without a trace. If they were also tricked like you, then..."

"At least you're still alive; the others are probably long gone." As if sensing what he was thinking, Bourbon's innocent, handsome face broke into a mocking smile, and he said that.

Gin grinned maliciously and said, "Heh... I've already reported this to that gentleman. They'll all be dug out soon. Whether they're alive or dead, no one can escape the organization's eyes, and no one can fool me."

"..." Upon hearing this, Feng Xingshou silently shivered. His brother had discovered he'd lied to him and even saved the Japanese policeman he hated most. How would his brother deal with him? o(╥﹏╥)o

Hagiwara and the others, who had no intention of fooling Gin but whose actions seemed to have fooled him, had somewhat subtle expressions. -_-|| Faced with such a terrifying smile, Hagiwara seemed to still maintain his gentle and pleasant expression, and said with a grin, "With you taking action, we naturally know the outcome."
