Chapter 103 [The World is a Giant Red Mansion Dream]

There seemed no need to confirm again, as Furuya Rei knew very well whether the person present was Matsuda Jinpei.

It's impossible that a sophisticated artificial intelligence has imitated a Jinpei Matsuda.

The room, already buzzing with discussion, suddenly quieted down upon noticing Rei Furuya's arrival. Even if Jinpei Matsuda thought it was Rei Furuya, he couldn't help but turn his attention to his peers when the other party in the argument stopped focusing on him.

As Rei Fūya took a step closer, there seemed to be a commotion at the discussion table, and several people seemed to want to leave.

"Why are you being so timid? He's already seen us. What? You want him to have selective amnesia?"

The destructive power of Jinpei Matsuda's words is as strong as ever.

Furuya Rei gave a Bourbon smile: "Oh, really? Is there something I shouldn't know?"

His sapphire eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist, taking on a grayish hue. He smiled so brightly that even someone unfamiliar with him could tell he was faking a smile and was very angry.

"For example, Mr. Jinpei Matsuda, the deceased officer of the First Investigation Division?"

There was already a gritted teeth tone in his words, and it was hard not to see that he was angry.

Jinpei Matsuda touched his nose and put on his sunglasses silently.

He swore that he had never felt so guilty in his life...

Hiding behind his sunglasses, Matsuda Jinpei glanced around the room but didn't see Hagiwara Kenji. It occurred to him that it had been a long time since Hagiwara Kenji had sat around the table and engaged in such a passionate discussion with the others.

At first, Jinpei Matsuda even laughed at his friend, saying that this was not like Kenji Hagiwara.

How did Hagiwara Kenji respond?

"Little Jyouya is too perceptive. I dare not let him find my tracks again."

Afterwards, Hagiwara Kenji embellished a time when Furuya Rei almost caught him, and Matsuda Jinpei remarked, "No wonder you're so eager to go out and discuss business now..."

After all, Agatsuma Sayuri had already invited the Public Security Bureau to cooperate, so it made sense for them to come at any time. And Furuya Rei's intelligence-gathering methods meant he couldn't directly reach the company's top ranks.

So, today, as usual, Hagiwara Kenji went out to discuss business. It's unclear whether there was genuine business to discuss, or if he simply channeled his enthusiasm for networking into a desire to build closer relationships with clients.

Rei Furuya set his sights on Agatsuma Sayuri. The woman was wearing a sailor suit today, her golden hair tied up in two small buns. Even with her hair tied up, some longer strands of hair still hung down, forming two high ponytails with buns.

If his childhood memories were correct, this seemed to be a once-popular comic character...

"Don't you have any explanation? Hanami... my wife Sayuri."

Agatsuma Sayuri showed an innocent smile, which perfectly fits the image of the cos character.

"I've always said that we must save Zhufu Jingguang."

She smiled even brighter and made a "yeah" gesture, "Then saving Morobushi Kagemitsu's friends is normal, right?"

"..." Furuya Ling opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, he only squeezed out a sentence: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"The public security police are so busy that it's hard to see you."

Fūya Rei was still not quite clear about the information exchange between the clone and the original body, but he knew that he had just met Hanamisake today.

He glared at the girl angrily, then his anger subsided and he smiled again, "Since you have such ability, it seems Jingguang will be much safer."

Agatsuma Sayuri thought he wanted to mention Kenji Hagiwara, but then felt that he had no reason to ask for more from a civilian organization, so he turned to mention Morofushi Kagemitsu.

He had not cooperated with the police before, and the matter of Kenji Hagiwara had been kept secret from him. Now that they finally cooperated, he seemed to have no chance to explain himself.

Coupled with Hagiwara Kenji's evasive attitude, this matter has been kept secret until now...

My wife Sayuri took a big sip of milk tea to ease the embarrassment, and then she said cautiously: "Actually... you shouldn't know this now."

Although she had theoretically gone against fate when she proposed cooperating with the authorities of various countries, after all, Furuya Rei was a key figure in the fate line.

“Tsk.”

Two clear gasps rang out almost simultaneously, one from Furuya Rei, the other from Matsuda Jinpei.

"Why go to all this trouble? He already knows so much now. You don't think the police are pushovers, do you?"

Hirota Masami also whispered, "Actually, I want to know more..."

Shuichi Akai didn't say anything, but his action of taking a step forward said it all.

If she wasn't wearing a wig, and if this fake hair wasn't particularly difficult to make, my wife Sayuri would have wanted to scratch her head madly to vent her crazy emotions.

"...Grandma Kazuyuki, could you please take the three guests to the reception room first? I'll discuss this with everyone else first."

The three guests were politely asked to leave the room, and while they were still in the corridor, they heard a fierce quarrel breaking out in the room.

I could faintly hear Jinpei Matsuda's voice and the voice of someone yelling at him.

My wife Kazuyuki smiled kindly and explained to the three young people, "Everyone will always have different ideas, and we need to unify them."

"I thought my wife's family was guided by the will of my wife Sayuri." Moroboshi Dai was silent for a while and said this.

"Ah, this is our shared home." Agatsuma Kazuyuki raised her hands, hiding her expression with the sleeves of her kimono. "It's just that everyone likes Miss Sayuri. Maybe if she tries harder, she can change everyone's mind."

The three of them were led into a reception room, which, unlike the one they had been meeting in, was designed in a typical Japanese style. The housekeeper had the maids bring them snacks and water, then left the room with the words, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me," leaving them ample space for conversation.

Rei Furuya was sitting at the table, looking at the FBI in front of him, taking a deep breath, and trying hard not to say something like "FBI, get out of my Japan" to the other party.

Hirota Masami felt the subtle atmosphere between the two and gave Amuro an awkward but polite smile.

"Mr. Amuro, do you have any thoughts on this mission?"

Furuya Rei raised an eyebrow, glanced at Hirota Masami, then at Lei, "If you want to ask what I think, shouldn't you also express your own thoughts?"

Shuichi Akai pretended not to hear anything and stared blankly at the curling steam rising from the teacup in front of him.

So, Fūya Rei asked by name, "Mr. Moroboshi, don't you have anything to say?"

The FBI looked up, his green eyes meeting the other's blue. "It's the Japanese police who haven't given us a signal yet."

This is rare. Usually, Japan has no right to refuse cooperation requests made by the United States.

The officer from the police department frowned and took out his cell phone to type something.

Soon, the phone rang, and it was the other end calling.

After the call ended, there was another awkward silence.

Hirota Masami kept sipping the fragrant tea in the cup, pretending to be very busy.

With her efforts to take small sips, she finally managed to keep the glass half full before the next call came.

Shuichi Akai's phone was silent, but he seemed to feel the vibration of the phone and took it out of his pocket.

Hirota Masami heard the person on the phone talking to Moroboshi Dai in English, which seemed to confirm the man's FBI identity. Although he never admitted it himself, he only expressed his affirmation with a tacit attitude.

After hanging up the phone, Shuichi Akai supported his chin with one hand, as if he was thinking about what to say.

"Didn't your boss manage to instill the concept of cooperation into the lone wolf's head? FBI."

"The Japanese side has already approved the cooperation intention. However, it might be more convenient for us to have a conversation after my wife confesses more to us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pulled open. Apparently, the person who opened the door did not wait for the maid standing beside to help open the door, but opened the door anxiously by himself.

My wife Sayuri was grabbed by the arm by the person who opened the door and half-dragged and half-pulled into the room.

"This matter shouldn't require the participation of the bomb disposal police who have died in the line of duty?" Fūya Rei said lightly.

"You bastard, are you trying to stop me from coming out?"

"Of course, irrelevant personnel should leave."

Agatsuma Sayuri seemed to understand why these two had fought so fiercely during their time at the police academy. They had been friends for so many years, but a single word could still turn them into a firecracker.

Whether it is Jinpei Matsuda or Rei Furuya.

"Alright, alright. If this continues I'll have to call Jingguang and Hagiwara."

Jinpei Matsuda looked at Agatsuma Sayuri suddenly, as if he didn't expect her to give up Hagiwara Kenji like this, or he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be threatened by the name "Hagiwara Kenji".

Furuya Rei also suddenly looked at Agatsuma Sayuri. At this moment, their actions were completely consistent. They were so tacit that the quarrel just now seemed more like a way of reminiscing about the past.

Agatsuma Sayuri shook her two long braids. "There's no point in glaring at me. Tell him everything... Didn't we all discuss this together?"

In reality, such a short timeframe wouldn't allow for everyone's opinions to be fully understood. However, no matter how egalitarian my wife's family may be, there's a clear hierarchy when it comes to saving lives. As long as the hierarchy agrees, the executors generally don't care whether the person being rescued knows everything beforehand.

Sometimes, informing them in advance will make their work easier and reduce the chances of being mistaken for scammers and being beaten.

"Yes, we plan to tell you everything," said my wife Sayuri, glancing at her watch. "I've also notified the CIA, and they'll be here soon."

"Since I've decided to talk about it, let me first tell you some things you should know but don't know."

Although it was a joint operation with the official organization, Agatsuma Sayuri attacked Miyano Akemi first: "Ms. Hirota, your real name is Miyano Akemi."

"Ah... yes, yes." Miyano Akemi nodded a little panicked.

"Miyano..." Furuya Rei turned the last name over in his mind, a little concerned. He calmly observed Miyano Akemi's appearance, trying to match her with the family he was looking for.

Shuichi Akai was not surprised. He was looking for someone based on the name "Miyano Akemi" and knew from the beginning that "Hirota Masami" was a pseudonym.

Agatsuma Sayuri continued, "Your mother's name is Miyano Elena, and she is Akai Mari's younger sister."

"Really? So my mother has a sister..."

"What?"

Unlike Miyano Akemi's exclamation when she heard that she still had relatives, two men made similar surprised sounds.

She looked at the two people who made the sound in confusion. Since they were sitting in two opposite seats, she could see that they were a little busy.

Agatsuma Sayuri explained: "Morohashi Dai's real name is Akai Shuichi, and Akai Mari is his mother. You two are cousins."

This sentence announced the end of their relationship as a couple.

However, Miyano Akemi wasn't in a bad mood. She stroked her chest with a soft expression, "No wonder I always feel so close to A-Da. It turns out it's because of our blood relationship."

Compared to a boyfriend, she obviously wants a relative with a stable relationship who will not break up because of fading passion.

While the two were still trying to come to terms with their change of identity, Agatsuma Sayuri raised her finger and pointed at Furuya Rei. "His real name is Furuya Rei. He was once cared for by Miyano as a child. Akemi, you are the starting point of this bond."

At the beginning, it was Miyano Akemi who pulled the injured Furuya Rei and asked Miyano Elena to bandage his wounds. This led to Furuya Rei becoming a policeman in order to find the Miyano family.

"Hey? Is that Zero-kun?" Miyano Akemi looked at Qijiangtani Zero carefully, and their eyes collided in the air.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, with the relief of seeing the child grow up, "I should have thought of it earlier. Zero's skin color and hair color are not very common."

"...Mingmei has changed a lot." She has changed from the image of someone who would domineeringly pull passing strange boys to a gentle lady.

In Rei Furuya's mind, Akemi Miyano is more like a chivalrous woman who is too kind and takes the initiative to act, which is similar to the image of nurses who are always a bit fierce in the eyes of children.

"Is your source of information accurate?" The two people over there were reminiscing about their childhood from a distance. After a brief contemplation, Shuichi Akai asked Agatsuma Sauri.

"Accurate, 100% accurate." The plot may change, but interpersonal relationships - especially blood ties from decades ago - will not change.

"Then do you know where my father is?"

There was an imperceptible expectation in the man's steady voice, but unfortunately reality dealt him a blow.

Agatsuma Sayuri shook her head. "My sources of information are limited. I have no information on your father's whereabouts yet."

"Is he still alive?"

"There are hints that he's alive, but I'm not sure."

"..." The man clenched his fists tightly, and quickly returned to his cold and stoic appearance like Gin. He did not forcefully ask why there was such a thing as "hint" in the intelligence.

"If there is any news, I will tell you the first time."

"Thank you." He nodded slightly to express his gratitude. From the fluctuation of his emotions, I could feel that he had no confidence in the information about my wife Sayuri from the beginning.

The girl wants to save the person she likes but has to go through roundabout ways, which shows that she is not omniscient and omnipotent.

If she knew everything, the last thing she should do would be to kidnap Morobushi Kagemitsu during their mission.

Knowing that Miyano Akemi was his cousin was an unexpected surprise for Shuichi Akai.

As the three of them were overwhelmed with emotion, someone knocked on the shoji screen and Kazuyuki Agatsuma's voice came, "Ms. Sayuri, your guest has arrived."

【Author’s words】

Before the important meeting, both parties were already in a state of panic.
