Sawada Tsunayoshi left only after Gin told him that he would take him somewhere another day.
Gin didn't say much to him, so he didn't ask. After spending several years together, they had some tacit understanding. During the silence, he noticed that Gin's collar was a little messy, so when he stood up, he bent down to help him fix it.
The silver-haired young man stared at him with his gray-green eyes as if he was staring at a prey.
"I always thought you were acting strange today," Sawada Tsunayoshi muttered, wondering if something had happened... If not, what was it? Menopause?
If you do some calculations and round it off, Gin is almost at menopause age (not really).
"You'd better put away the random thoughts in your head." Perhaps he showed his emotions too obviously, Gin said slowly, "Mr. asked me to take you to the gem's laboratory tomorrow."
Finally I heard these words.
But then, he was puzzled by this sentence.
"Laboratory?" The young man frowned.
Gin chuckled.
"Of course," he raised his eyelids and glanced at the brown-haired rabbit, "You don't think the Fire of Life is a natural gem, do you?"
Although he didn't say it out loud, Tsunayoshi Sawada could already feel the contempt emanating from the other party's soul.
But he also found that Gin was a little too silent today.
Rather than talking to him, the organization's top killer seemed to be carefully examining and sizing him up.
This is not unfamiliar to Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Two or three years ago, when he was brought back to the organization by Gin and given a code name, the other party looked at him in the same way.
But now their relationship is much better than before. Even Vodka can say with tears in his eyes that Johnny English and Big Brother are good friends.
So why, what happened to make Gin change his attitude?
He looked at Gin, re-evaluated his interactions with Gin today in his mind, and quickly found the crux of the problem.
Because he mentioned the rum business and the fire of life.
It's just that letting him get involved in rum's "business" is insignificant, and even in the party struggles within the organization, this is a situation that Gin is happy to see.
But the "Fire of Life" is different, it represents a closer relationship with the organization.
So even though his relationship with Gin is already pretty good, the other party will still follow Crow's instructions and will judge his loyalty with absolutely calm thoughts and stance.
He thought for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at Gin. His gentle expression was mixed with some worry, just like a good boss who cares about his subordinates.
"The Stone of Life... I suspect it is related to the organization that conducted human experiments on Novan."
——I almost forgot that wolves cannot be treated the same as dogs.
He was too lazy.
…
When we got back, Scotland had already returned and was maintaining his beloved gun in the living room.
Because there are two snipers in the house, there are more sniper rifles than usual on the weapons wall of the safe house. From M12 to L115-A3 to Barrett M-82A1, there is even an XM-109 sniper rifle called a "shoulder-fired cannon".
Normally when going out on a mission, Scotland and Lei would choose a suitable sniper rifle according to the needs of the mission, but under normal circumstances, they would just pick the one that was convenient for them, put it in the box of a bass or some other musical instrument, put on a mask and a hat, and when they went out, they would be the cold and handsome guy that no one liked.
Scotland didn't know when he came back. There was a pistol at his feet and his usual M12 in his hand. He lowered his eyebrows and carefully stroked the body of the M12. His usually mature and gentle profile became sharper, like a blunt blade hidden in the dark.
Compared to Bourbon and Rye, which always make a fuss in strange places, Scotland is undoubtedly the most reassuring one in the whisky group.
Steady, calm, reliable, and even the only harbor that Tsunayoshi Sawada could find when he turned his head when Bourbon and Ley were fighting.
God knows how many times the Godfather turned his head and saw Scotland when he was in a mess, shouting "Scotland" with his mouth, but thinking of his mother in his heart.
However, Scotland at this time is different from the past.
Compared to the gentle and reserved appearance, which looked neither like a public security policeman nor a code-named member of a transnational criminal group, Scotland, who was silently wiping his gun with his head down, had a bit more hidden ferocity. No one would suspect that he was a member of the vicious organization of the winery.
But he should have been a young man growing up vigorously under the sun.
Tsukichi Sawada stood at the door and suddenly hesitated.
However, the sound of his arrival finally attracted Scotland's attention. The young man raised his eyes and saw his boss standing at the door with a strange expression.
The maintenance of the gun in his hand had actually been almost completed. He put the sniper aside and stood up.
"What's up, Boss?" The black-haired young man thought about what he had done most in this safe house in the past, and asked very skillfully, "Are you hungry? There's still some snow meringue left in the refrigerator from the last time I made it, do you want to eat it?"
When she said the first sentence, she was holding a gun in her hand, looking like a mercenary who was about to go out to kill people and set fire to others. But in the second sentence, the tone changed suddenly, as if she had entered some kind of good mother mode.
Sawada Tsunayoshi felt helpless and walked over.
"No, where's Lei?" he asked. "Didn't she come back with you?"
Scotland said, "He just went out, saying he was on a mission or something... Didn't you run into him just now?"
What tasks does Lai have recently?
The Godfather thought about it quickly, temporarily suppressed his doubts, and sat down next to Scotland very naturally.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, although this distance was already within the Scottish warning range, the young man still patiently suppressed some subconscious resistance, lowered his eyes and continued his maintenance work slowly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at him with his chin in his hand, gradually becoming absent-minded.
To be honest, he had plans to play cards with his younger generation today.
Just imagine it like this, sit next to their younger generations when there is no one around and there are no eavesdroppers, and casually say his contact code, and you can smoothly get in touch with the younger generations.
Of course, if it was Bourbon, the process of being trusted might take a little longer - after all, the other party is a skeptic, and even if there is solid evidence, he will not feel at ease until he finds evidence that is convincing enough to convince himself.
For example, a Siamese cat won't even bother to look at the dried fish its owner feeds, and will insist on reaching out its claws to scoop them up in the water.
But now he was hesitant.
He saw the actions of Scotland and Bourbon. Scotland was too introverted, so even he could not see anything; but he saw Bourbon's hesitation and struggle. Although the public security department did not allow him to reveal his identity to the younger generations, it would also help to sharpen the other party - after all, it was okay for him to reveal flaws, but in the eyes of others, such as the suspicious Gin, perhaps a small mistake would expose the younger generations.
However, if his existence causes the younger generations to focus too much on themselves, it does not seem to be conducive to their future development.
He was actually a little nervous when he thought about it, after all, it was his first time as an undercover agent, so after some hesitation - especially after experiencing the strange Shura scene on the cruise ship - he finally made up his mind.
But now he was a little hesitant.
Because of the attitude Gin showed towards him.
Although he is still in a trusted zone, but in this undercover job, one has to be prepared for the possibility of failure one day.
He is fine, but if the younger generations are implicated...
Thinking of this, the original plan began to hesitate.
Therefore, after staring blankly at Scotland taking care of all the guns and then spontaneously taking out the food he had just mentioned and placing it in front of him, Sawada Tsunayoshi was still hesitating.
and……
Sawada Tsunayoshi closed his eyes and recalled what Gin said with a half-smile when he left Gin's house.
【“Recently, the rats in the organization seem to have shown their tails again.” The other party showed a bloodthirsty smile, the kind that would scare any child who saw it, “You should also be careful, don’t let the rats slip in again.”
The brown-haired adult frowned and responded. 】
He let out a breath, leaned back on the sofa, and gave his usual smile to the worried-looking junior.
…
…
Looking at Johnny Yingjia's dejected back as he walked away for some unknown reason, Scotland, who was carefully putting all the guns away behind him, frowned.
Morofushi Jingguang recalled the spring when he entered the police academy after a long absence.
At that time, he and Zero had just passed the entrance exam to the school. While waiting for admission, they received a text message from the school saying that as part of the entrance ceremony, some outstanding students were selected and could enter the school early and participate in internal team collaboration and the graduation ceremony of graduates.
Of course, the specific arrangements need to be determined by each person based on whether they have the corresponding time. At that time, he and Zero happened to have time, so they signed up for this project.
Similar to the summer and winter camps of every ordinary school, this so-called talent program is nothing more than allowing freshmen to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance. If he were to say what impressed him most about this experience, it would certainly be the "great achievements" of a certain senior.
In the graduation examination, he sneaked into the enemy camp without his companions and camped alone. He seemed to be innocent, but in fact he relied on his own strength to pull his side back from the disadvantageous situation, became the final winner, and naturally won the victory.
To be honest, among that batch of rookies back then, there were probably few who did not feel awe for this senior.
Not to mention the great exaggeration by other predecessors - although this group of people would pause suspiciously after praising the predecessor again and again, and add awkwardly: "But if Sawada did it, we can do it too, but we don't have the conditions hahahaha" - almost anyone who has heard those stories that have been artistically processed and widely publicized will have sincere admiration and curiosity about the legendary Sawada predecessor.
A senior who can win praises from his elite seniors and pull back a fallen senior by his own strength, even Morobushi Kagemitsu, who is calmer and more stable than ordinary people, has to admit that he has a curiosity in his heart.
Perhaps there were too many people asking about the seniors, and the counselor in charge of arranging them was overwhelmed. He slapped his head and remembered that he was familiar with the monitor of the graduating class, so he asked him to invite the legendary senior to give a lesson to the rookies - or in other words, to accept the admiration of the fans.
Morofushi Jingguang had been looking forward to this. The night before the briefing, the young man, who thought that all the other children in the dormitory were asleep, pulled up the quilt and stared at the ceiling, as excited as an elementary school student who heard for the first time that there was such a thing as a spring outing in the world.
As a result, I received a message from the school early the next morning, saying that they still needed to be present in person to complete the file-related procedures.
However, there were very few buses going to the school, and the most suitable bus was very close to the last briefing session. Even the young people who still had enough energy and thought they could run to the station to save time had to admit that they could only see their seniors for a moment before leaving.
Of course you have to watch it.
Furthermore, Zero was mysteriously certain that his elite seniors would arrive early.
"Maybe we can get autographs before those guys do." In fact, he didn't have that much respect for his senior, but seeing those who didn't like him look grumpy would make him feel good, Furuya Rei thought, stroking his chin.
——As a result, the dear senior had no tacit understanding with them at all. The senior who arrived on time almost followed the same movements as them when they went out. Only he, who was running behind Zero, looked back as if he had sensed something. He saw that the man had short brown hair and a gentle smile. He tilted his head and seemed to be talking to the squad leader beside him. He did not look at all in line with their imagination of an elite senior who was probably muscular and had an indifferent expression.
Thinking of this, he still called out "zero" lovingly.
"Ah? What?" The young man, who was even more helpless than now, turned his head and was already panting. "If it's not important, don't talk about it... We're going to miss the bus soon!"
So Zhu Fu Jingguang shut up and planned to tell Zero about it after getting in the car.
Later, I kept thinking that I would still be staying in the police academy for some time, and the graduates had not left yet. When they graduated and entered the system, maybe we would have the chance to meet again...but now is the time.
In fact, Morofushi Kagemitsu was not sure at first that Johnny Yingjia was the senior's.
After all, he only caught a glimpse of it at first, and only remembered from a distance that it was a young man with short brown hair. Although this color combination is already very unique, what if it is just a coincidence?
What confirmed Johnny's identity was the time when he took a ride with Gin to the mall.
Johnny Yingjia was also in the mall at the time and was accidentally involved in the bombing incident.
When the incident was resolved and people were rushing out, he went against the flow into the mall.
The natural response to Gin is that there is something to buy, but in reality it is just observing Johnny gain from the sidelines.
Then he met his classmate, who was still as arrogant as he remembered. He looked at him from a distance, raised the corner of his lips and greeted him.
The other party also used eating as a distraction to escape from the large police force. The two sat back to back in a barbecue restaurant. They didn't really talk, but just listened to the movements to make sure each other was safe.
Until the other person yawned lazily, stretched, and complained.
"Tsk, today I saw that guy who looks like an idol star and I like him as a senior. I forgot to ask for his autograph." Without looking at him, one could imagine Matsuda Jinpei yawning with annoyance written all over his face, but more importantly, he confirmed a certain guess in his mind.
Really a senior.
But...why not contact them?
He thought of the light novel that the other party had published as a joke, the title of which made the undercover agent tremble with fear. If it was indeed written by his senior, then this would be tantamount to exposing himself naked in front of them. Compared to the undercover agent's self-explosion, this action was more like a mousetrap to catch mice.
As soon as this thought came out, Morobushi Kagemitsu suppressed the idea of revealing the identity of his senior to Koujinran. If it was a trap, he would just step into it alone and tell Zero after he was completely safe. He thought.
However, despite this, he still found it difficult to control himself from caring about Johnny's bonus as he had already made his guess. However, he happened to be the other party's subordinate, and such an action would at most lead to him being accused of flattering his superior.
But the downside is...
"I'm not in a bad mood, and I really can't eat anymore."
The brown-haired young man looked at the fruit desserts and snacks that were continuously delivered to him, and felt that one day he would be suffocated to death by Scotland's enthusiastic feeding.
The black-haired, blue-eyed young man blinked, looking somewhat innocent.
"Sorry." Even though he said this, he still put the plate on the desk without questioning, "But I think you should still be able to eat this Black Forest, what do you think?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi: ...fine.
There is a kind of hunger that your mother feels you are hungry, and he understands it.
…
The sun rises and sets, and the next day comes quickly.
No one knew when Lei and Bourbon returned to the safe house, and Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't care, after all, they were all adults.
But when he went out, he found that it was Bourbon who drove him. The other party was sitting in the driver's seat with a classic fake smile and a villain-like aura.
"The place you are going to today is the gem laboratory under Rum," he said, "Can I take you there?"
——If you want to say that, then don't just sit there in the driver's seat. Give him some symbolic power to refuse.
Sawada Tsunayoshi complained in his heart, not knowing what this junior was thinking. Things started to get subtle since he asked him to bring back the magazine yesterday.
It was indeed his fault that he got carried away and asked his junior to buy "This Thing 2" while chatting with Gin, but he dared to continue to use Gin's hat to guarantee it. Bourbon's vigilance and displeasure were not only because of this.
It might also be because when he came back with the pink magazine, he happened to meet Lei who had also come back from outside... ahem.
What's the big deal? Didn't Lai buy it secretly? He saw two copies of "This Thing" on the table this morning... So why did you all buy this stuff? It's really scary, brother!
Although a thousand Tsunayoshis were complaining in his heart, on the surface, Sawada Tsunayoshi was still the cold and handsome godfather.
Bourbon glanced at him, pursed his lips, and stepped on the accelerator.
After all, this was Rum's territory, and Bourbon, an intelligence officer and Rum's man, drove him to the location in a few turns. When he got out of the car, Gin was already waiting by the side of his Porsche, with a cigarette butt at his feet, and it seemed that he had been there for a while.
Seeing him coming, the silver-haired young man threw away his cigarette butt, crushed the poor half-burned cigarette with his wide leather shoes, and stood in front of Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Without saying anything more, he pressed down the brim of his hat, signaling Johnny to follow.
People appeared around him one after another. Looking at his expressions, some showed curiosity, some looked at him, but there was no overly positive emotion. It was probably because of the fight between him and the gin and rum factions.
Seeing Bourbon following them as if nothing had happened, and looking at the elevator going down not far away, according to the organization's habit, irrelevant people would almost certainly be detained here. Sawada Tsunayoshi's mind turned and he tilted his head slightly.
"Bourbon doesn't have to follow us down, right?" he said.
Gin raised his eyelids and took a look. Just as he was about to say it was nothing, Vermode, who was walking towards him, interrupted him.
"That won't do," she said. "Rum asked me to bring Bourbon with him to broaden his horizons."
She tapped the earphone on her ear to indicate that Rum was here to convey the message to her.
Tsunayoshi Sawada frowned and looked very unhappy.
He knew that his every move today - at least his current moves - would be transmitted to Rum or Crow, so if he directly said that he would bring Bourbon in, it would firstly show that they were close, which was obviously inconsistent with the theoretical relationship between the two of them, and secondly, it would also stimulate the old man opposite. Presumably, after hearing this, Bourbon would also be qualified to go down.
And that is indeed the case.
He frowned and entered the elevator with a few others. From the reflected elevator door, he could see the solemn expression of Bourbon standing behind him.
…
On the other hand, Kenji Hagiwara, who was eagerly waiting, also got "This Thing 2".
Although some people on the Internet were mocking how this thing could have been published in 2 editions and was even on the front page of this issue of the magazine, Hagiwara, who had a mysterious filter towards his seniors, still argued with them online while buying eleven copies and taking them home.
——Ten books for collection and one for research.
What do you mean by those people online who say it's not good? How can they understand the metaphors of the predecessors!
Sure enough, unlike the first book, this one contained the secret codes they used to transmit intelligence on a daily basis.
After spending the entire night deciphering the code, Kenji Hagihara rubbed his eyes tiredly.
The content of one chapter is still too little.
Although it is a lot more than before, but this thing is published every seven days, so it is not much more in total.
Although he had not personally experienced how difficult undercover work was, he still knew a thing or two about it.
After handing over the decrypted content to his boss with dark circles under his eyes, Kenji Hagiwara did not lie down to catch up. Instead, he turned on his computer, pondered for a moment, and typed in a few words.
What does it take to become a book editor in Japan?
