Tokyo Police Hospital is located at 1-22-7, Nakano-cho, Nakano-ku.

Less than ten minutes after midnight, the hospital received a patient who had lost too much blood and needed emergency treatment. Due to the patient's special identity, the attending physician in charge of the treatment was naturally not a simple person.

In a temporarily vacated hospital lounge, Fujiwara Yuu sat upright in his seat, not worried at all that he would be handcuffed and taken away for investigation by the public security department. He calmly played with the five-yen coin in his hand. On the contrary, Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu, who were standing outside the door waiting for their superiors to arrive, were a little nervous. They were worried that the public security department would interrogate Fujiwara without mercy.

Even though they have different positions, they don't want to see their best friend who just helped them get hurt.

After hearing the sound of leather shoes hitting the tile floor, Fūya Rei reached out and tugged at the hem of Morifushi Kagemitsu's clothes, reminding him to stand up straighter. He had just notified the director of the Security Planning Section, who was a big shot at the rank of Superintendent of Police.

However, when the person who came out from the corner was a man with short silver-gray hair, a look of surprise appeared on Fūya Ling's face. He did not expect that the person who arrived at the scene was not the administrator he had notified, but a big shot who was higher than the administrator.

"Hello, Section Chief Izumiya, I'm from the Security Planning Section—"

"Furugaya Rei, Morofushi Kagemitsu, I know your names so there's no need to introduce yourself."

The man had a silver-gray slicked-back haircut, not dyed, but simply the natural change in color that comes with age. He was about 1.85 meters tall, but because of a slight slouch in his right foot, he appeared about the same height as the two young men before him. The most eye-catching feature of his face was the white medical patch covering his left eye.

Toru Izumitani, 49 years old this year, is about to enter his 50s. He is the head of the Security Planning Division of the National Police Agency's Security Department and a superintendent of police with a higher rank than his direct superior, Rei Furuya.

This was the second time that Rei Furuya met Section Chief Izumiya. The last time they met was a secret meeting when he was working as an undercover agent. It was the Zero Team he formed.

Izumi Ya Tetsu looked around but couldn't find the CIA agent the two children were talking about. He fixed his eyes on the closed door of the lounge and asked:

"Don't you want me to come? Why are you closing the door so tightly?"

"No, Section Chief, we just..."

"Hahaha, just kidding. You're such a stubborn kid." Izumi Ya Tetsu waved his hand and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw a handsome young man with purple hair. He walked forward with his hands behind his back and sat down on the sofa next to the young man. He greeted him, "You're the CIA agent who rescued my subordinate, right? What's your name?"

Fujiwara Yuu put the cigarette box he had taken out back into the cigarette case. When he heard the conversation at the door, he realized that it was not a good time to smoke. He looked directly at the big shot of the National Police Agency in front of him and said calmly:

"Claire Stewart, what should I call you, sir?"

Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu, who were guarding the door, pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on the conversation inside. When they heard the name used by Fujiwara Yuu when introducing himself, the two people who had been friends since childhood looked at each other tacitly and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

They don't understand why Fujiwara Yuu, who is looking forward to cooperating with the National Police Agency, uses a pseudonym. If they really want to cooperate, they will definitely exchange undercover information of both sides. Why lie at this time? Could it be that the name he uses inside the CIA is this pseudonym?

If this is true, then there must be another hidden reason behind his sudden departure.

"Claire, what a nice name." Izumitani Toru stroked his stubble and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Izumitani Toru. I'm sure you've heard Furuya call me that. Claire, since you're our future partner, you can just call me Izumitani."

"I'm quite knowledgeable about Japanese etiquette, but considering my age, it's more appropriate to address you as Mr. Izumiya."

Furiya Rei, who was eavesdropping in the corner, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. Fujiwara is really good at acting. What do you mean by knowing a lot about Japanese etiquette? It seems like you are in Japan for the first time.

Izumitani Toru just smiled when he heard that. His eyes fell on the black tattoo exposed on his collar. He really was an agent with a unique personality. After adjusting his hips to a comfortable sitting position, he said with interest:

"Claire, I don't know what kind of cooperation plan you brought. You must know that you entered the country with a fake identity. If you can't convince me, I guarantee that you won't leave this hospital today."

"Mr. Izumitani is quite humorous. I came here today with sincerity. You should be familiar with the code name of Cabeza Tequila, right?"

"Of course. He was our target for this year, but we didn't expect you to get there first."

"The Cavitha Tequila is the first small gift I gave to my partner. As for the second gift, it depends on Mr. Quan Gu's opinion."

A book friend I've known for ten years recommended Yeguo Reading to me. It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time, even while driving or before bed, listening to books aloud. You can download it here.yeguoyuedu

Fujiwara Yu pulled a pre-prepared USB drive from his jacket pocket. It contained a copy of some of the information from Shimokawa Yosuke's floppy disk. The information that hadn't been transferred in was naturally about Tōguchi Shigehiko. He wouldn't give up a fat sheep that was already in his mouth to the public security police. After all, it had taken him a lot of energy and money to get in touch with Tōguchi Shigehiko.

It was no small feat for Izumitani Toru to rise to the rank of Superintendent at the age of forty-nine. He instantly understood the value of this USB drive and said bluntly:

"I didn't expect you to have this thing. Can you tell me where you found it?"

"It was on a sofa at an izakaya called 'Aleona'. I found the clue through Shimokawa Yosuke's lover, Nakahara Kyoko."
