Chapter 65 Chapter 65 “I don’t need to worry about his affairs anymore…

【Thank you, Mr. Blonde.】

This is a text message from "Curly Bastard" on the phone.

Fūya Rei replied: [He's going crazy looking for you, I suggest you hide well.]

The other party's hand speed was obviously very fast. Just a few seconds after sending the message, another message came in: [Don't worry.]

After turning off the phone screen, Rei Furuya thought about what Kenji Hagiwara had done in recent days.

Three days after Scotland disappeared in the sea of ​​fire, Hagiwara Kenji suddenly found him and asked him where he had hidden Matsuda Jinpei.

At that time, Rei Furuya was racing against time to find Scotland's whereabouts in between his piles of work, and he had no energy to think about how Tennessee found him so accurately. At this point in time, it was not a big deal for Bourbon's true identity to be exposed to Tennessee, the public security informant who made a great contribution to the organization's demise. But when he suddenly heard the news, Rei Furuya, who had not slept for three days and three nights, showed genuine surprise at that moment.

He really didn't know what happened between Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, nor did he know that the former had "disappeared".

Furuya Rei knew something about the affairs between these two people, but he didn't know everything. Although he and Matsuda Jinpei had a good relationship and trusted each other, they were definitely not the type of friends who could share each other's secrets. So he only tried to dissuade the other party after he realized that the other party was inexplicably entangled with Tennessee at the beginning.

Of course it didn't work.

After that, Furuya Rei specifically asked Matsuda Jinpei several times, and the conclusion he got was that his relationship with Hagiwara Kenji was getting better and better.

Later, Kenji Hagiwara even became a new informant for the Public Security Bureau and provided one of the most powerful evidences to destroy the organization, the SD card. The blond Public Security Bureau no longer paid much attention to their relationship. After all, it was already the eve of the general attack at that time. He just reminded Jinpei Matsuda that this man was very dangerous and to find him in time if he needed any help.

When he learned that the "fishing rod" requested by the "cat" was actually for Tennessee, Rei Furuya wanted to know what the relationship between the "cat" and Tennessee was.

Unable to get an answer from the "cat," he suggested that Hagihara's contact dig the information out of him. However, to no avail. Hagihara Kenji was as skilled at maneuvering as Rei Furuya, and not only did the contact fail to extract any information about the "cat" from Hagihara, they even became more cooperative with him.

In fact, many things now seem to have traces to follow. For example, Jinpei Matsuda has a good relationship with Scotland. So Jinpei Matsuda, whose intuition is so sharp that he even commits a foul, would approach Scotland, whom he arbitrarily labeled a "good guy", and express to Scotland his intention to pull Tennessee out of the organization - Jinpei Matsuda might have thought that Rei Furutani and Scotland were a real couple, and that Rei Furutani would help Scotland - and then Scotland, who considered everyone but excluded himself, would give his way out to Tennessee.

In addition, during this period, Tennessee was almost betrayed by the contact person transferred from the Metropolitan Police Department. Hagiwara Kenji owed Scotland two heavy favors. Even if he really traced the clue of Matsuda Jinpei and found out that it was actually Scotland who connected him with the public security, he would keep this secret.

...It seemed that in the end, only Furuya Rei was still stubbornly holding on to his initial prejudice against Scotland, not even considering the possibility that the other party was a "cat".

Kenji Hagiwara has always been good at observing people's words and expressions. After seeing Furuya Rei's reaction, he realized that the other party had no idea where Matsuda Jinpei was going. He left with a cold face without saying a word.

Upon returning to the National Police Agency, Rei Furuya immediately retrieved Hagiwara Kenji's file from the Public Security Bureau, but found nothing unusual. While his actions during the destruction of the organization weren't exactly docile, they were certainly cooperative. Although his past achievements within the organization necessitated a lengthy observation period and the surrender of various tools and channels used in his time as a criminal, the public security report, at least, revealed nothing particularly unusual.

So why did Jinpei Matsuda, who was supposedly still in the passionate period of love, suddenly disappear from Kenji Hagiwara's side?

Just as he was about to contact Matsuda Jinpei, the latter called first: "Can you help me make a fake identity?"

Based on the narration of the curly-haired police officer, Rei Furuya was finally able to piece together the story between Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara.

Thinking of Hagihara Kenji's cold expression just before he left, Furuya Rei frowned and asked, "Rather than leaving Tokyo and continuing to defuse the bomb in Kanagawa under a false identity, it would be more appropriate to report this matter directly and have Hagihara leave his post as an explosives officer. What are you thinking?"

"Based on my current observations, Hagi's actions were all due to me. Eliminating my influence, Hagi is still an excellent explosives officer." Matsuda Jinpei paused, his tone becoming more serious. "Of course, this is just my opinion. Now that I've told you this, I have no opinion on how Hagi is evaluated and what actions are taken against him. After all, being an explosives officer requires a high degree of responsibility for the lives of others."

Furuya Rei thought for a moment and replied, "I understand."

This time it was Matsuda Jinpei's turn to remain silent for a while before continuing, "Don't tell me about him anymore."

After that, the police extended Hagiwara's observation period, which made Hagiwara, who was searching for Matsuda Jinpei, quite anxious. However, surprisingly, he did not resort to illegal means again, and would use even the most simple means to find Matsuda Jinpei.

This surprised Rei Furuya. On the one hand, he understood why Jinpei Matsuda said that Kenji Hagiwara could continue to be a bomb disposal officer. On the other hand, he was confused: Was Kenji Hagiwara's feelings for Jinpei Matsuda really just the obsession and possession of a "pet" as Jinpei Matsuda thought?

He didn't dwell on this issue for too long, because when Rei Furuya thought about what happened between himself and Scotland, he felt that he no longer had the qualifications to judge other people's feelings.

The creation of a fake identity for Jinpei Matsuda and his assignment to the Kanagawa Prefectural Police at his request went smoothly. This did not involve issues of public security principles, and with Kenji Hagiwara as an excuse, there were no obstacles throughout the operation.

At the same time as receiving the transfer letter of Jinpei Matsuda, who has now been "renamed" Shinpei Kanna, Rei Furuya learned that Kenji Hagiwara was also allowed to return to work in the Explosion Team - Jinpei Matsuda left, and Kenji Hagiwara needed to go back to take on the heavy responsibility.

Hagiwara Kenji is also eager to return to the virginity squad. He reportedly said, "As long as I'm in this position, I'll see Jinpei again one day."

Furiya Rei: "..." It should be said that Hagiwara Kenji actually knows Matsuda Jinpei very well.

The matter between Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda came to an end with Rei Furuya. He continued to deal with the follow-up affairs of the organization and search for traces of Scotland.

Ever since he learned from Mescal that Scotland was an experimental subject that day, Rei Furuya has focused on the materials left behind by the organization.

Judging from the traces at the scene of the house in Tottori Prefecture, Scotland blew up some of the experimental subjects who had lost their vital signs and the room that stored a large amount of experimental research data before falling into the sea of ​​fire.

Scotland was determined to annihilate most of the existences that would test humanity and leave traces of darkness, including himself, in that fire before dawn and burn them all.

Most of it was burned, but a small amount of data still under study was stored in the research team. On the day the organization was breached, Shirley originally wanted to risk her life to destroy all the data in her hands, but because the news was delayed, she was intercepted by the Zero Team.

After reviewing Shirley's research, Rei Furuya chose not to report it and, at Scotland's request, used the intelligence he had left for Shirley. The chestnut-haired girl, who had previously forced herself to remain calm and indifferent, silently teared up upon learning of Scotland's situation.

Akemi Miyano has been under FBI protection in the United States for some time and is preparing to return to Japan to reunite with her sister. With the FBI's evidence and Scottish intelligence, she should not have a difficult time.

Not to mention Fūtani Rei, who received the most help from Scotland. He was already in a high position at a young age, and now after destroying the organization with almost overwhelming force, he has become the first meritorious person who has reaped the most benefits. From now on, he has a bright future, and it is only a matter of time before he reaches the core of power.

…It seemed as though everyone Scotland cared about would be fine after he left.

But Scotland, where are you?

The detailed autopsy reports on the day at the old house in Tottori have all been released. A considerable number of the deceased were previously missing persons in Tottori Prefecture, and some were so long ago that their corresponding persons could not even be found.

But for Rei Furuya, the most important information was that among the bodies whose identities could not be confirmed, none could be matched to Scotland.

If it were the previous Rei Furutani, facing such a result, his instinctive reaction would be to doubt that everything that happened before was just a careful plan by Scotland, including the relationship between him and Rei Furutani.

But now he would rather believe that this was really a fake death planned by Scotland to escape... because Furuya Ling already knew that Scotland, who would sacrifice himself in a self-destructive way, did not care about his own life at all.

Rei Furuya almost wanted to selfishly blame Scotland: You left in such pain, why do you think that the people you left behind can be happy?

But he was the only one who couldn't say this - one of Scotland's greatest sources of pain was the Falling Valley Zero.

He was a man with strong execution ability. Since he could no longer obtain more information about Scotland by staying in the Public Security Bureau, he went to other places to look for it himself.

"Kazami, I'm going somewhere else these next two days. Call me if you need anything urgent."

The spiky-haired police officer, who was working hard, looked up in a daze. "Mr. Kouya has indeed finished processing the most important documents on hand. These two days are indeed the weekend, but when a file king voluntarily offers to leave, it still makes people feel dazed..."

When he came to his senses, the blond young man had disappeared.

Can I find your trace under the sky of Nagano, Scotland?
