Chapter 13
The two undercover agents were now on high alert, feeling like they had picked up a kitten and raised it for a while, only to find out it was actually a leopard that could bite their throats at any moment.
Even though they were already very vigilant and repeatedly warned themselves that there must be something about Bo Yezhai that the organization valued highly, they still couldn't help but relax a little. They never expected that it was this that they valued!
Fortunately, Usoppei Kijimaru spoke up...
...But why be so direct? Wouldn't it be better to observe them by keeping this a secret?
Is it that Bo Yezaki is truly at odds with the organization and deliberately leaked the information to shirk his duties, or is his current statement also part of a test?
They didn't seem to be acting strangely, did they?
Although I really wanted to ask, "What did you see in me?", that would make me seem too concerned.
Rei Furuya's mind worked quickly, and he replied without hesitation, "I see. If you have the insight to analyze what will happen next with just a glance, like you did just now, you are indeed worth recruiting by the organization. I hope you can use your abilities in this mission."
Morofushi Kagemitsu gently changed the subject, giving no chance to probe: "Let's not talk about these things outside. We can discuss our thoughts when we get back. Usui-kun, since you're a local, are there any suitable restaurants nearby?"
Although both of them appeared indifferent, the notification of the system's increased suspicion level revealed their intense and complex inner thoughts.
Bo Yezhai always made a quick buck and ran away from the organization, never pursuing them. His priority was to ensure his own safety. Even if the undercover agent was on the red side, he must have been prepared to cross moral boundaries to become an undercover agent. What if he went too far and made them feel that they had to kill him to silence him?
You don't even need to lift a finger. Just tamper with the task and make it look like an accident, and that'll be enough to give Usoppyaki a hard time.
So, as if he hadn't realized how subtle his words had been, he casually said, "Okay, come with me."
Soon, Usoppei led his men to a restaurant that looked quite lively.
"Hey, isn't this Bo Ye? Long time no see." The waiter recognized her at a glance by her strange attire. "I heard you changed jobs. I haven't seen you for months. I thought you went out of town and never came back... Are these your friends?"
Furuya Rei immediately flashed a professional smile: "Yes, Usui-kun said the food here is delicious, so he brought us here to try it."
It seems that what Usaku Saiki said about living in Fukuoka before is true. If you want to investigate, you can start from Fukuoka.
"Oh, thank you all for coming." The waiter smiled with pride. "What would you like to eat? Need any recommendations?"
After ordering, Morofushi Kagemitsu asked, "Did you work in Fukuoka before, Usuba-kun?"
"Otherwise what? I already told you I was in Fukuoka before."
"Midori probably thinks you're studying in Fukuoka," Furuya Rei said, cooperating with his childhood friend to elicit information.
Usoppei suddenly laughed: "You should pay more attention to the people at the table behind you than to me."
Morofushi Kagemitsu tightened his grip on the cup.
When he entered the store, he had already subconsciously observed the interior, if he remembered correctly...
"Aren't those college students sitting at the table behind us?" Furuya Rei asked directly, his expression revealing undisguised curiosity. "Or did you notice something else?"
Bo Ye Zaiji lowered his voice: "I guess so. They are friends of the mayor's son, and they often hang out together."
Morofushi Kagemitsu maintained his smile and then whispered, "Are you trying to force Mayor Harada to withdraw from the election by kidnapping his son?"
The restaurant is quite noisy, so even if you discuss sensitive topics at this distance, the eavesdropping device won't be able to pick up any recordings.
However, Usaku Saiki's reaction was unexpected by Morofushi Kagemitsu.
Usoppei looked at Morofushi Kagemitsu with a reproachful gaze: "You just said not to talk about these things outside, but I didn't expect you to break the rules first. How can someone in this line of work not keep their word?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "...??? Wasn't it you who started it..."
Didn't you bring up the mayor's son first?!
"I just saw someone familiar and introduced them to you casually." Bo Yezhai said with heartache, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, coming up with kidnapping and stuff right away, it's too much, I really can't listen to this."
Rei Furuya was speechless: "Usui-kun, no matter how much you have complaints about us, at least we're comrades now. When Midorikawa is working hard for the mission, can't you cooperate a little?"
Bo Yezhai said quietly, "Some people lose their humanity after joining the organization."
Jianggu Ling: "…………"
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "…………"
So, is your problem with us, or with the organization? You'd better make that clear!
Although the meal left me with a stomachache, I still managed to gain something from it.
Mayor Harada's secrecy was so good that, although his son had arranged for some people to be around him, he himself often took it upon himself to sneak out and hang out with his cronies.
Rei Furuya quickly started his investigation by focusing on the mayor's son's friends and conducting research around this small group.
A few days later, the three of them held a meeting in the living room.
Rei Furuya spoke first: "How about exposing the scandal of Mayor Harada's son to make Mayor Harada voluntarily withdraw from the election?"
"What scandal?"
"Do you guys remember yesterday's news?" Furuya Rei asked himself, answering his own question. "A female corpse was found in the wild. It was Mayor Harada's son, killed by Yusuke Harada."
Zhu Fujingguang was shocked: "They just dumped the body like that?"
Even if this place is indeed chaotic, isn't it a bit too arrogant to be so blatant about it? It's even on the news!
"After all, this is Fukuoka. There are countless police officers here who have been bribed. Even if it makes the news, as long as the mayor orders it to be suppressed, the case will remain unsolved."
The extent of corruption among the police force in Fukuoka deeply shocked Rei Furuya.
He tapped his index finger on the table, suppressing his irritation, and pretended to analyze rationally: "The person who came to destroy the evidence brought out a large suitcase from Harada Yusuke's apartment last night. Judging by the size, it can fit an adult woman. If it happens so often, it's not just an impulse. Harada Yusuke has a penchant for killing women."
Zhu Fujingguang smiled, seemingly unaffected by the negative news, displaying utter coldness: "So, what are your thoughts?"
“Getting Yusuke Harada to confess what he did, and what his mayor father’s involvement was, might require torture. Harada has quite a few bodyguards, so getting around the security network to reach him would be difficult…” Rei Furuya suddenly looked at Saiki Usui, “Why don’t you try wearing women’s clothing?”
Usoya Saiki: "...Huh???"
Rei Furuya seemed serious: "Yusuke Harada doesn't like the bodyguards his father arranged for him, and he ditches them when he's hanging out with his friends. He probably doesn't refuse any woman who throws herself at him, but he'll pretend to be normal in public. With a little makeup, you shouldn't be able to tell his gender. Lead him to the destination, and Midorikawa and I will be waiting for you there. Your mission will be complete."
Zhu Fujingguang was somewhat speechless.
He could tell that Zero was probably just getting a little revenge on Usaku Saiki, to make him feel bad too.
These past few days, Bo Yezaki has challenged them several times in terms of visual communication and other aspects, always wanting to let this kid know that they are not to be trifled with. After all, from any perspective, they have no reason to tolerate Bo Yezaki indefinitely; if he is too good-natured, even the organization will become suspicious.
But to be honest, Morofushi Kagemitsu was a little worried about whether Furuya Rei's revenge would be effective.
—Zero! Look at this kid's taste! What if he doesn't think there's anything wrong with cross-dressing?!
Fortunately, Usakabe Saiki had been tolerating his daily prop combinations, but he really couldn't stand cross-dressing.
Bo Yezaki immediately retorted, "Isn't this plan too casual? It's unlikely to succeed. Haven't you considered the mayor's competitors?"
"Mayor Harada has close ties with several major gangs in Fukuoka. His competitors are just going through the motions. They are afraid of retaliation, so how could they possibly take action?"
Usakabe Saiki: "...I'm just an intelligence dealer; it's too dangerous for me to go into battle directly."
He has reason to suspect that Rei Furuya is settling a personal score.
Isn't it just that we're putting too much mental pressure on them, making them paranoid and unable to sleep? This is also training them! How can an undercover agent not have a strong heart? They really don't appreciate our good intentions!
Rei Furuya took out his phone, seemingly preparing to edit an email: "Do you have any suggestions? If not, I'll submit this plan to the organization."
Vodka insisted that their plans must be submitted for review, since the newcomers' abilities had not yet been trusted, and what if the newcomers were too incompetent and dragged the organization down?
Bo Yezaki originally thought he was just there to freeload and occasionally raise his suspicion level, and he didn't take the organization's mission to heart at all. He thought that with two undercover agents around, the mission would definitely be completed.
I never expected Rei Furuya to come up with such a terrible idea! What kind of people does the Japanese Public Security Bureau train?!
Usoppō Saiki was unwilling to get himself involved, although he felt that Vodka would most likely not approve the plan, but the feeling of having someone around him who wanted revenge was still not good.
Gin is different from vodka; they wouldn't take action even if they wanted revenge. It's these two who don't know his value that are troublesome. If he occasionally falls into a trap, it will greatly affect his quality of life.
So, Usakabe Saiki immediately started thinking: "There's no need to go to such lengths just to lure Harada Yusuke out alone! Let's kidnap his friend and have his friend call him out! His friend is probably unprotected, and he won't be wary of his friend! Isn't this much better than your plan?"
Rei Furuya just watched Usui Saiki quietly.
Zhu Fujingguang asked in a low voice, "Don't you think kidnapping is going too far now?"
“What do you mean by ‘excessive’? I’m doing this on behalf of Heaven!” Bo Yezaki declared righteously. “Someone as upright as me can’t tolerate this kind of scum for even a second. Kidnapping, we have to kidnap him! —By the way, didn’t you say that torture might be necessary? I know someone in Fukuoka who’s good at torture. If needed, we can outsource that!”
The two undercover agents: "…………"
—What exactly are your grievances against the organization? Isn't this a perfect fit for the organization...?
--------------------
Thin Leaf usually plays lazily by itself, occasionally teasing the two undercover agents before wagging its tail and leaving. Now that its tail has been stepped on, it instantly bristles with fur.
.
Because of his own personality, Bo Ye knew that these two were on the red team, but he didn't trust the bottom line of the undercover agents.
.
As many people have guessed, yes, the back of the sweater in the previous chapter also had the words "Great Calamity" on it, but because it was covered by a haori, the back was hidden.
We haven't seen these two yet; we'll show them to Gin and the others when they arrive.
