Chapter 85 Rei Furuya Discovers [VIP]
Kidd: "Let's make a deal."
Without even thinking, Cheng You knew what kind of deal it was, but he was happy to do it; helping out was just a favor. He said, "You want me to give you the gemstone?"
“Smart! I’ll return it, but I desperately need it right now. I can help you with something in the future, as long as it doesn’t involve national security or illegal activities.” Kidd patted his chest and said. If only Kudo got the jewel, I could try to steal it, but now it’s three of us going together: a detective, a public security officer, and a mysterious person whose identity I don’t know. I dare not mess with them.
"Okay." After saying that, Cheng You casually disguised himself with a generic face.
Once they were ready, Kidd suddenly disappeared from their side, something they were already used to.
Instead of taking the stairs or the main entrance, they quietly made their way through a secret passage that led to the map.
As they approached, they could indeed hear voices coming from inside: "What use does the research institute have for this?" It was Vodka's voice.
Through the crack in the door, they indeed saw Kujo Kousuke; he was indeed a member of the Black Organization. He listlessly toyed with a ruby in his hand and said, "This gem is a mechanism stone. I remember reading in a science book from a certain country that some laboratories, when hacked, would store core data on a miniature USB drive and then seal it inside a gem. As the gem entered the market, almost no one could detect it."
Vodka: "How can you be sure this is the gem that contains data?"
Kujo Kosuke sneered: "The Japanese laboratory was vandalized a few days ago, and the people in the laboratory stored the data in a ruby. These were the last words of our undercover agent. He was discovered, although we don't know how he was discovered, but obtaining this has already proven his ability. Later, we heard that old man Suzuki bought a ruby."
Gin: "It seems the research institute also has an undercover agent there."
Kujo Kosuke: "Don't worry, Koto. The FBI raided the Japanese lab a few days ago and apparently caught the undercover agent at the research institute as well."
Gin: "Do you have a way to extract the data right now?"
“It will take a long time,” Kujo Kosuke said.
Upon hearing this, Cheng You was already certain in his mind that this person was likely Bordeaux.
Gin pulled a USB drive out of his coat pocket. Cheng recognized it as the one he had just given him that day. Gin said, "Check if the contents of this are accurate. I'll report back to the boss later."
Kujo Kosuke took the USB drive, pulled a miniature computer from his pocket, tapped it casually, unplugged it, and handed it to Gin: "Correct. It seems the person you mentioned is indeed honest."
Cheng Youzheng was intently eavesdropping when he felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't even need to look to know that Furuya Rei must think he was really antisocial for giving them the real data. Cheng Youzheng could only give an awkward smile.
Gin took a picture of the ruby and turned to leave.
Kujo Kosuke casually tossed the ruby to his subordinate: "Take this and go back to the machine to analyze it."
Once Gin's footsteps had completely faded at the end of the corridor, Shinichi Kudo and Rei Furuya exchanged a glance and prepared to go up. He said to Cheng You, "I'll go get the jewel."
Cheng You nodded repeatedly. The next second, the three of them attacked together. Furuya Rei, as expected of a public security officer, subdued most of the men single-handedly. Kudo Shin kept heading for the subordinate holding the jewel. Kujo Kosuke was about to raise his gun to shoot when Cheng You kicked the gun away with a powerful kick.
Kujo Kosuke is very talented and capable in computer technology, and Furuya Rei remembers that his shooting skills are also very good, and his sniping skills are among the best in the organization. As they thought, he doesn't have much hand and foot fighting ability, so he was subdued in no time.
Furuya Rei guessed that they had a special method of communication between organizations, so he told them not to linger in the fight and to leave quickly with the gems.
Just before escaping through the secret passage, Cheng, posing as an undercover researcher, sent Gabriel Cecil the information that the Black Organization was on the third underground floor and had obtained the gem.
Rei Furuya stopped halfway through his walk, smiled, and asked, "Do you want to make things even bigger?"
While Cheng You and Kudo were still stunned, Furuya Rei sent Akai Shuichi the location of the place.
"The FBI will clean up the mess," he said.
Cheng couldn't help but admire him, but then he thought, why don't I get involved too and help Furuya Rei stir things up a bit more? So he took out his phone and sent his location to Takeda Ryosuke.
I'm so excited just thinking about it.
A moment later, Gin arrived with reinforcements: "What's going on?!" His tone was terrifying.
"Damn it! You guys just left, and three more people showed up. Their fighting skills are terrifying; they just robbed the gems." Kujo Kosuke said viciously. "This is your dereliction of duty. If the BOSS asks about it later, I won't admit it."
Gin sneered, his green eyes gleaming coldly: "Did you see their moves clearly?"
Kujo Kosuke: "Pah! I don't even know anything about martial arts, and you're asking me this?!"
The air temperature plummeted, and it seemed like they were about to start fighting at any moment. Suddenly, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the depths of the corridor, as if they were running. Before the black-clad organization could even adjust their positions, the figures on the other side of the corridor had already appeared.
Leading the group was a blond man wearing a mask of Izanagi, the Japanese creator god. Cheng recognized him; he was someone he knew very well—Gabriel Cecil. He hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly.
"Where's the gem?" He looked at the person's hand in front of him but found no trace of the gem.
"Ha, who do we have here? It's the British research institute." Kujo Kosuke showed none of the refined demeanor he usually displayed in front of VIPs. Instead, his tone was provocative and his eyes were filled with mockery.
Cecil snorted coldly, maintaining his hypocritical demeanor: "So the gentle and refined young master of the Kujo family is actually Bordeaux, the hacker from the Black Organization who commits murder and insults..."
Kujo Kosuke squinted at him: "None of your business."
“Of course I can’t do anything to you, after all, you have the entire Black Organization behind you.” Cecil glanced at Gin standing next to Kujo Kosuke. “It’s a pity that your boss didn’t come. I was hoping he would come for such an important event. I really wanted to fight him.” A strange glint flashed in his green eyes as he continued, “I recently developed a mind-controlling drug, and I was even thinking of using it on your boss.”
Gin remained expressionless, while Kujo Kosuke gritted his teeth and cursed, "What a despicable person! The medical field is doomed with people like you around..."
Gin suddenly raised his hand, looked at Cecil, and said, "Didn't you just send people to steal the jewel?"
Cecil narrowed his green eyes: "Oh? You're not giving it to me?"
"I already said it's not here," Kujo Kosuke repeated impatiently.
“Who can steal from you now?” Cecil was completely unconvinced.
Gin remained silent, his murderous eyes fixed on Cecil.
Neither side made a move nor spoke; the stalemate continued.
Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from afar. Gin, Kujo Kosuke, and Cecil all noticed it and ordered their subordinates to hide behind the liquor rack.
"You—" "You—"
When Takeda Ryosuke arrived with his men, they encountered a group of people in uniforms carrying guns. He recognized the uniforms as belonging to the FBI.
The FBI leader was Jodie, who told Shuichi Akai, who was disguised, "Find a spot to snipe."
She glanced at Sumida Ryou, startled, but didn't pay much attention, since their current target was the winery and research institute. So she led her people inside immediately.
Seeing them head towards the main gate, Takeda Ryosuke, fearing they might escape from inside, led his men towards the back gate shown on Cheng You's map.
The FBI immediately surrounded them with their men, who were accompanied by Ryosuke Takeda.
The four forces then looked at each other in bewilderment.
“Oh?” Cecil recognized Takeda Ryosuke, his tone flat but laced with sarcasm. “I recognize you. You were one of the forces I absorbed, but your organization was probably too small, like an ant, so I don’t remember you.”
Takeda Ryosuke ignored his mockery and simply introduced himself: "The Invincible East Pavilion."
The other three forces were shocked to hear this, not expecting that the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion could also be found.
Cecil's tone held a hint of anger: "That's really something."
Kujo Kosuke: "So you've teamed up? To arrest us? But it's not certain who will win or lose." He turned to look for Gin, but Gin and Vodka had already disappeared.
Thus, a complete free-for-all broke out on all four sides.
Kujo Kousuke was an excellent marksman. He fired while retreating, hitting his target every time. Suddenly, he felt someone pull his hand from behind. He instantly raised his gun and fired, only to find that it was Vodka pulling him. He immediately changed the trajectory of his gun and missed.
"I thought you were going to desert," Kujo Kosuke sneered.
Vodka grabbed his wrist and led him away, hiding in a corner of the wine cellar.
Gin: "You should be very familiar with the Suzuki family's wine cellar, right? Is there another way?"
Kujo Kosuke: "Come with me. Did you just discover something?"
Gin: "The FBI sniper didn't show his face, which means he's already set up his sniper. It's not good to fight with a sniper around. Let the three factions kill each other. We didn't bring many people this time, so it's not a loss."
Kujo Kosuke: "Who took the jewel?"
Gin pondered for a moment: "The police, the FBI, or... the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion, which is the least familiar to us."
The four forces fought back and forth, and the first to fall was naturally the leaderless brewery. Cecil eventually used poison gas to confuse everyone and flee in panic, but his mask was shot off by a sniper, revealing his face.
In the end, only the FBI, the Invincible East Pavilion, and some panicked soldiers whose leaders had fled remained on the battlefield. The FBI arrested them all.
Neither side intended to engage in battle, and the FBI agents left with their men. Takeda Ryosuke picked up the gas canister Cecil had thrown on the ground, took a sealed bag from his pocket, and put it inside.
The three, who had already left the wine cellar, began to study the gemstones.
Shinichi Kudo looked at Cheng You and asked, "Can you crack this?"
Cheng You coughed lightly a few times: "Ah~ Although I know some computer technology, it's still not enough to crack this. If it were given to Mr. Cheng You, he would definitely be able to crack it completely."
Rei Furuya glanced at Cheng You, then at Shinichi Kudo, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Cheng suddenly felt that his smile was extremely creepy.
"Then hurry up and crack it, Mr. Cheng!"
Cheng heard someone behind him say through gritted teeth.
