Chapter 100 Is Bourbon an undercover agent? Impossible, absolutely not…

It has been a long time since the Scottish theft organization's list of moles within the police system was exposed, revealing their identities as public security officers.

Under the meticulous arrangements of the Public Security Bureau, Morofushi Kagemitsu secretly moved to a deeper level of the battlefront to continue fighting against the organization. His parents and elder brother were also secretly protected by people sent by Nekono Ikuya, and their safety was not in danger.

In recent years, the organization has been rife with internal turmoil. Before the power reshuffling at the top was complete, and before the aftershocks of the Scottish incident had subsided, another bombshell suddenly exploded, its shock no less than the initial shock of the organization members upon learning that Scotland's true identity was that of the Japanese Public Security Bureau—

Ray, the rising star of the action team who was trusted by Gin, had top-notch sniping skills, and inspired fear and admiration in many peripheral members of the organization, was actually an undercover agent!

The other party's true identity is Shuichi Akai, an ace investigator for the FBI.

It was an extremely dangerous operation. Shuichi Akai's undercover mission was nearing its end, and before leaving, they were preparing to catch a big fish. The FBI had laid a trap, targeting the organization's key figurehead for projecting its military might: Top Killer Gin.

In fact, the FBI's arrest operation almost succeeded. If they had known that the mission was a collaboration between Gin and Rum, and if Rum's suspicious nature hadn't come into play, he would have suddenly decided to test Ry's words on the day of the mission.

Ironically, Rum probably didn't expect Rye to actually be suspicious; he was risking his life by personally disguising himself to test him. But this test uncovered a major problem: there was an ambush at the meeting place! Rum, sweating profusely, tried to remain calm but was persuaded to leave by a kind but reckless FBI agent. He then immediately notified Gin, who narrowly avoided falling into the FBI's trap.

The emergence of two undercover agents who climbed to the position of core codename members enraged the organization. Unable to track down Scottish, they vented their anger on Rye. Gin, severely provoked, led the organization in a frenzied pursuit of the FBI, resulting in the loss of most of the FBI's manpower in the frenzied chase.

Unfortunately, the organization's most wanted target, Shuichi Akai, escaped unscathed, causing the organization to lose face.

The only saving grace was that during the fierce battle between the organization and the FBI, an undercover agent was accidentally brought into the organization. However, because there was a young genius in the research group that the organization valued highly, who was also the younger sister of Sherry, the organization was still considering how to deal with her. Unfortunately, Miyano Akemi was caught in the crossfire and died from a fatal gunshot wound.

The organization decisively pinned the blame for Akemi Miyano's death on the FBI.

The organization said: "Lay used your sister as a stepping stone to infiltrate the organization. When he left, he didn't take your sister with him. It's almost certain that he didn't reveal his undercover identity to your innocent sister. He was just going to leave your unsuspecting sister to face the organization's purge after Lay's undercover identity was exposed."

"Shirley, you know our attitude towards members who have ties to undercover agents, but frankly, even considering your abilities, we originally only planned to increase our surveillance on you, we didn't expect your sister to die like this. Now that your sister has died innocently and tragically at the hands of that hateful FBI, it's definitely that undercover agent's fault!"

After learning the details, Shirley, who lived with her sister, locked herself in the lounge for several days without making a sound. When she came out, she cast a hostile gaze at the FBI.

She suppressed all her emotions, her youthful and delicate face hardening, and remained silent.

They seem less resistant to the organization and even more interested in learning more about the research group.

She began to consciously delve into the deeper structure of the research group, trying to understand the research areas and networks of people that she had previously deliberately avoided.

—This was seen by the organization as a sign that Sulli wanted to accumulate power within the organization to avenge her sister, and that it was a sign that Sulli was turning her heart towards the organization.

The higher-ups did not question young Shirley's sudden change in behavior, and the man was particularly pleased with it.

The gentleman said, "Hatred is the best medicine. Don't force it. Try to be gentle with the child. I look forward to seeing how the child behaves."

After all, the Miyano couple were scientists who had pleased him so much, and their child would surely be good too. He had high hopes for Sherry.

So even though her sister had brought an FBI agent into the organization, causing great losses, Shirley's situation was not worse than before.

Not only does she have more freedom than before, but the organization's boss also trusts her more.

While Rei Furuya manages to rescue his childhood friend Akemi Miyano from the clutches of the organization amidst the chaos, he is not in a good mood.

"Damn Shuichi Akai, damn the FBI!" He cursed Shuichi Akai fiercely in private.

Rei Furuya had a bad impression of Shuichi Akai when he was still known as Rei, because Rei saw him as a ruthless member of the organization.

Police officers can infiltrate hostile organizations without needing any special reason; the mere fact that their existence poses a threat to public safety is enough.

After Shuichi Akai's undercover identity was exposed, Rei Furuya's impression of him worsened.

Because—"These FBI agents are recklessly waging a large-scale gunfight on someone else's territory!"

'Bang!'

He slammed his fist on the table, and an inextinguishable flame ignited in his eyes as he thought of the civilians injured or killed in the FBI's reckless firefight with the organization.

Moreover, he recently met Miyano Akemi by chance and recognized his childhood playmate. He then learned that the Miyano family he was looking for had long been deeply involved in the organization. Elena and her husband died in a laboratory fire not long after they joined the organization, leaving behind eight-year-old Akemi and one-year-old Shiho.

Lei joined the organization through Minmei!

At that time, Shuichi Akai's identity had not yet been exposed. Because Rei Furuya's hair color and skin color were so unique, Rei Furuya recognized Akemi Miyano at the same time Akemi Miyano recognized him.

Akemi Miyano was a very clever person. She did not reveal any flaws in front of others that she knew Rei Furuya. Instead, she used the well-known feud between Bourbon and Rae and her own identity as Rae's girlfriend to hear a lot of true and false information about Bourbon.

She began to suspect that Rei Furuya was an undercover agent who had infiltrated the organization. Avoiding the attention of Rae, who appeared normal on the surface but seemed unsettled in reality, she secretly contacted Rei Furuya, realizing from their first meeting that they had recognized each other.

Perhaps it was because she also realized that the Grand Prince's identity was problematic and sensed the imminent danger, Miyano Akemi thought with a wry smile.

"Does the organization suspect that Mingmei's death is suspicious?"

The bathroom door opened, and Nekono Ikuya emerged from the steamy air with his hair still dripping wet. He had been thoroughly covered in coarse salt by Furuya Rei, who was on edge, as part of a folk custom to ward off bad luck, as soon as he entered the room.

After all, not long ago, he personally used his superb disguise skills to perfectly replicate Miyano Akemi's appearance and demeanor, staging a realistic drama in front of the FBI and the organization members, pretending to be caught in a conflict and tragically shot to death.

The real Akemi Miyano had already been secretly moved to a safe location and was not here at the moment.

"No, not yet. Your acting was too convincing. Plus, the scene was chaotic, and anything could have happened. 'Miyano Akemi' died in front of everyone. The characteristics of the body that was later recovered matched all the details. Sherry... Shiho's acting was also very good. The organization has no suspicions."

Rei Furuya shook his head, his tone softening as he faced Ikuya Nekono, and picked up a towel from the side.

It was out of necessity to make Miyano Akemi fake her death at this time; their original plan was to pack up Miyano Shiho and Miyano Akemi and take them away together.

While Rei Furuya's personal motives certainly played a significant role, Akemi Miyano's offer was also quite valuable.

The Miyano couple were the most valued researchers by the organization's boss. When Miyano Akemi came to the organization, she was already in elementary school age. Although she did not inherit her parents' talent in research like her younger sister, she was also very intelligent.

Most importantly, she had been taken to play at the research institute by her parents, who would leave her in the institute's lounge to play whenever they were busy with work.

So, despite being careful and never telling anyone, Akemi Miyano, as she grew up, recalled what she saw and heard as a child and the snippets she overheard from her parents and other researchers, and guessed the organization's ultimate research objective.

All of the organization's criminal activities revolve around facilitating research; the power and money they acquire are poured into the research pit—that is their core!

Akemi Miyano's single sentence was worth more than the efforts of several elite undercover agents; no matter how capable those undercover agents were, it would have been difficult for them to uncover such a deep core of the matter.

But who could have imagined that Ray was an undercover agent, and that he would pull the trigger at just the right moment!

Unable to predict how the organization would treat them, and in order to prevent her sister's situation from worsening, and with the organization becoming increasingly wary of the FBI and Shiho Miyano being kept under tight guard and unable to be rescued, Akemi Miyano made the difficult decision to 'die' in front of the organization's members.

Because only by 'dying' can she avoid implicating Shiho, and without her sister as a weakness, Sherry cannot be threatened. The organization hopes that Sherry will harbor resentment towards the FBI, so that the matter of Miyano Akemi bringing the FBI into the house can be wiped clean.

They couldn't threaten Sherry with her 'dead' sister. Since Sherry was willing to do the research properly, the organization could only take a conciliatory approach. This would also make it easier for them to plan how to take Sherry away after things calmed down.

This has unfortunately made the process longer, and we don't know when the next good opportunity will come.

Rei Furuya gritted his teeth: "Whether it's Dai Moroboshi or Shuichi Akai, I'm definitely incompatible with them."

He was cursing the FBI in his heart, but the way he gently wiped Nekono Ikuya's hair with a towel was actually quite gentle.

Rye was an undercover FBI agent. The FBI is a US agency, working domestically and internationally, just like the CIA. The FBI shouldn't be conducting missions across borders.

The FBI's eagerness to close in may be due to pressure, as there has been an increase in the number of guns from the United States among the supplies recently distributed to the organization. Is there a connection between these two factors?

Rei Furuya was making plans in his mind.

Feeling the perfect pressure on her hair, Nekono Yuuya squinted comfortably and said with concern, "Don't get angry. Getting angry will only make the enemy happy. This time, Ray exposed himself as an FBI undercover agent. The organization's intelligence system and personnel screening mechanism will definitely change. You must not be suspected."

Rei Furuya paused, his expression subtle: "I think... I think I might not be suspected."

Nekono Ikuya opened her eyes curiously: "Oh?"

Rei Furuya's expression became even more subtle as he silently glanced at Ikuya Nekono.

Do you really not know?

The group said, “Given Bourbon’s genuine hostility toward the FBI and CIA, we can rule out him as an American undercover agent. Furthermore, considering his tendency to flirt with beautiful women, all of whom are helpful to his mission in one way or another, and the fact that each woman he wins over dies tragically in various ‘accidents’ shortly afterward, we can also rule out the possibility that he is an undercover agent from another country.”

The organizers exclaimed, "What? You're saying Bourbon might be an undercover agent? Or an undercover agent from a conservative Asian country? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

It's better to believe that they themselves are the undercover agents than to believe that Bo was an undercover agent!

Rei Furuya: ...Thank you all so much for your trust (in the ethics of an undercover agent) (and for your doubts about my ethics, lol).

Nekono Ikuya blinked, then suddenly gave an exceptionally innocent smile: (≧ω≦).
