Chapter 366
Bo Yezaki attended the organization's meeting, thoroughly investigated the organization's movements, and even said a few good words for Ireland, whose mission had failed, successfully making Vodka envious and jealous.
If Bo Yezaki treated everyone equally, Vodka would often suffer because of it, and he could barely tolerate the preferential treatment given to women, but why did Ireland have to do this?!
In what way does he fall short of Ireland! He also longs to be favored by Usui Saiki! After all, the consequences of not being favored are truly chilling!
Ireland clearly sensed this resentment.
Ireland immediately became even more cautious—the mission had failed, so he had to keep a low profile. If his teammates held a grudge, that would be unbearable. Any little trickery could cause trouble again, and then they would say he was never good enough, otherwise why would he have failed the mission in the first place…
The tasks assigned to him so far are alright, but the lack of difficulty also means that his contribution is average. If he wants to erase his past failures, he needs to do more.
However, he was persuaded to stay by Usoppō Saiki.
The legendary organization member who exchanged contact information with him and said he would add him to the group if he was still alive after the mission ended said, "You should take it easy for now. There's no rush to prove yourself."
Ireland was very dissatisfied with himself: "But I actually lost so much face in front of Gin..."
“There’s more than one way to solve things,” Usakabe Saiki advised him. “If Gin also has problems, then he won’t have the right to say anything to you anymore.”
Ireland: "...??? That's...that's a solution...but the probability is rather low..."
"How could that be? Gin has had all sorts of accidents this year. Even tasks that would be a piece of cake for him can go wrong. Things like Sherry being right in front of him and still getting away are laughable, but didn't that happen?"
Ireland pondered for a moment: "Speaking of which, I haven't had a chance to ask yet, what's your grudge against Gin?"
Usoya Saiki said with a serious expression, "I think he's like an undercover agent."
Ireland:"…………"
So it really was because of that?! He thought it was just an excuse!!!
Even if he dislikes Gin, he wouldn't necessarily think Gin is an undercover agent... But never mind, the reason doesn't matter. What's more important is having an ally who can directly confront Gin and whom Gin can't kill.
Out of camaraderie with his comrades, Ireland didn't say anything, even though he thought it was unreliable to "wait for Gin to make a mistake himself," and just focused on doing the mission.
Under the organization's arrangement, the bugging device appeared silently in the conference room—even after the incident of the manager being impersonated, their vigilance was still insufficient, and they would get away with things if there were no rules or regulations requiring them to do so—and everyone finally caught up with the police's progress.
After another person died, the case finally became clearer.
Having obtained information such as the North Star and the Big Dipper, Gin looked at the map and immediately made a judgment: "The culprit will probably go to Tokyo Tower."
Ireland said, "Then I'll go keep an eye on it at Tokyo Tower."
At times like this, he had to be proactive to atone for his mistakes—there was also a small, irrelevant reason: he remembered that Potts had mentioned that Gin could also make mistakes… If Gin guessed the wrong location, it would be worth the trip for him.
As for what happens if the organization's mission fails... Ha! The Boss was willing to have Gin silence his adoptive father for the sake of the organization. What loyalty could he possibly have for the organization? Is he some kind of despicable person?
Anyway, as long as you don't have to take all the blame if the mission fails, it's not bad to drag Gin down with you.
Gin also didn't like Ireland very much. The reason was simple: he sensed Ireland's dissatisfaction, and coupled with the fact that he had killed Ireland's adoptive father, Pisco, he always felt that Ireland was not loyal enough to the organization and was a ticking time bomb.
If he gets the chance, he plans to eliminate them as soon as possible.
Seeing that Ireland volunteered to do the work, Gin didn't refuse him because of his previous mission failure, and immediately agreed: "Keep in touch."
After Ireland left, Gin also had his own plans, sending Vodka to contact the organization and request helicopters equipped with machine guns.
Scotland, who had seen the group chat history, had a rather subtle expression when he heard this.
So they're applying for helicopters equipped with machine guns? Is that really necessary?
Although I didn't think it was a big deal, I've been inexplicably concerned about it these past two days. So when the organization boss who had Gin's past application records were looking at this brand-new application report, a similar thought popped into his mind to Scotland's.
—Is it really necessary to just get a memory card back from an ordinary person?
The organization's boss remembered Gin's contributions and hard work very well, so even though he had some doubts, he silently came up with some explanations, such as Gin doing this just in case the other party was not an ordinary person or something unexpected happened.
We can't easily convict Gin based on what Potts said. After all, Potts said that he just doesn't like Gin and speaks ill of him. Let Boss judge for himself.
After thinking it over, the Boss decided to let Gin do his job first, and then deal with him after the mission was over.
It's just a helicopter with machine guns, right? Approved. He wants to see what Gin is planning to do.
Meanwhile, Usaku Saiki had already changed into the alias of Hanakawa Shinryu and went to have a private chat with Inspector Megure.
"What? You're saying you already know where Manager Matsumoto is?"
Inspector Megure paused for a moment, but without the slightest suspicion, he exclaimed with delight, "Great! So where is it?"
After the impersonation of Superintendent Matsumoto was exposed, the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched many people to search for the whereabouts of the real Superintendent Matsumoto. The Organized Crime Countermeasures Division worked overtime like crazy, searching everywhere for informants to ask for information, but unfortunately there were no clues so far. Superintendent Matsumoto's fate was unknown, and everyone felt that the odds were against him, so they planned to withdraw some of their manpower to do other things.
Just then, Shinryu Hanchuan made a timely call. Upon hearing the good news, Inspector Megure immediately dispatched people to rescue Officer Matsumoto.
Considering the unknown size of the organization impersonating Matsumoto, and the potential for large crowds at the location where the officer was being held, which could escalate into a fight or even a gun battle, the Metropolitan Police Department was on high alert. They deployed a significant number of personnel and weapons, and even brought in negotiation experts, determined to complete this mission successfully—after all, the officer had been kidnapped! How many times in a lifetime could one achieve such a feat?
This major incident successfully attracted most of the police's attention, while the rest continued to search for a suspect named Mizutani Kosuke, based on the current progress of the case.
Three years ago, when Kosuke Mizutani and his lover were in Kyoto, a fire broke out at the hotel they were staying at. Because the elevator could not hold enough people, she stepped out of the elevator, which saved seven people on the floor. However, Kosuke Mizutani's lover was burned to death.
Their hobby was astronomy, and they also loved the North Star and the Big Dipper. The one and seven coins symbolized these. He killed the men who stole his lover's life to avenge her.
This is the situation that most police officers are currently aware of.
The real culprit in the serial murders has already climbed Tokyo Tower.
He is the older brother of Kosuke Mizutani's lover, Kazuki Honjo.
Although Kosuke Mizutani was heartbroken by his lover's death, he never considered killing her. Instead, it was his brother who couldn't bear his sister's death and came to hate Kosuke Mizutani as well.
The older brother demanded that Kosuke Mizutani pay for his sister's life, and Kosuke agreed. So the older brother went around killing people to take revenge, taking an item from each victim and planning to give it to Kosuke Mizutani as evidence so that he could take the blame.
Today is the day Kosuke Mizutani plans to commit suicide. He wants to come to the Tokyo Tower, where he and his lover used to go stargazing, one last time, and kill himself there.
So the older brother came and handed over the "evidence" to him.
After all, they had killed seven people. Meeting each person to exchange evidence would be too troublesome and too easy to cause trouble. So, Ben and Shu planned to give it all away at once in the end.
Tokyo Tower is now past its sightseeing hours, and the observation deck is practically empty. Theoretically, it should be easy to find people, but even though Kazuki Honjo managed to sneak in, he still couldn't find Kosuke Mizutani.
...Could it be that they've changed their minds?
He knew it! A guy who dared to elope with his sister, leading to her tragic death in another city, was completely unreliable!
Ben and Shu took out their phones and made a call.
No one knows what Mizutani Kosuke said, but Honjo Kazuki was very agitated: "You liar! My sister shouldn't have believed you! She shouldn't have believed you either! You said you didn't want to stay in this world, what do you mean now? The things are still with me..."
They rescheduled for a meeting, and Ben and Shuxin hung up the phone with some doubts, lost in thought.
Suddenly, he felt something behind him. He instinctively tried to turn around, but the next second he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and fell unconscious.
The men who knocked him unconscious searched his body and found a bulging bag. They emptied its contents, examined each item, and finally found a hidden compartment in one of the items, from which they retrieved a memory card.
After a while, the lights on Tokyo Tower suddenly went out.
In the darkness, a helicopter approached Tokyo Tower and spotted a man waving from near the fire escape outside.
Gin called Ireland: "Did you get the memory card?"
Just now, Ireland called to say that the culprit did indeed come to Tokyo Tower, the item is on the culprit, and he will get it soon.
Ireland held his phone in one hand and raised the other to show Gin the memory card in his hand.
Gin: "Can't see clearly, take some out."
Ireland's body language revealed a hint of impatience, but he still obediently stretched his hand out slightly.
A hidden door quietly opened on the side of the helicopter, from which the muzzle of a sniper rifle protruded.
A gunshot rang out, the bullet struck the small memory card, and with undiminished momentum, it pierced the heart of Ireland in the blink of an eye.
Cohen put his gun away with satisfaction.
Scotland said tactfully, "Ireland may not have seen the memory card...and even if he did, he might not necessarily betray the organization..."
Gin remained unmoved: "I've determined that he's no longer loyal to the organization... Wait, there's someone else!"
Under the helicopter lights, he noticed a figure flash by inside the Tokyo Tower, on the floor where Ireland had died.
Gin immediately realized that someone had probably seen what they had just done, so he immediately ordered a sniper to take them down.
Unfortunately, it was dark inside and the lights were off, making it difficult to aim and snipe. Since he had already seen police cars gathering below Tokyo Tower, in order to finish the job quickly, Gin simply had Vodka activate the machine guns that were on the helicopter.
After a burst of arrogant and rapid gunfire, Gin's phone suddenly rang.
Gin immediately became alert, remembering Usui Saiki, who insisted on joining the mission but disappeared again after appearing a few times without doing anything... Could it be that he's suddenly getting into trouble now?
Fortunately, he saw the caller ID and discovered it was Vermouth.
"What is it? Speak quickly, I'm busy." Gin answered the phone impatiently.
Vermouth said, "I know you're busy, don't shoot. That's Ireland. Boss wants you to bring Ireland back."
Gin: "...???"
The one running away from the bullets is Ireland, so who was the guy who just died?
Vermouth, who was staring at Tokyo Tower through binoculars, seemed to have mind-reading abilities: "The one you killed was a low-level member I helped disguise, someone you wouldn't recognize. Anyway, stop shooting now and get Ireland out of here, the police are coming... I know you might have questions, I suggest you ask Potts."
Gin: "………………"
If a child is quiet, they're definitely up to no good.
I thought Potts had finally calmed down... but it turns out this is what was waiting for him!
—Potnis!!! What have you done now?!
--------------------
What Bo Yezaki did will be discussed in the next chapter.
.
Ireland is now dead, see the movie "The Raven Chaser" for details. Gin has killed so many of his own people...
.
Scotland: Is it really necessary to get a helicopter with machine guns on board?
Boss: Gin must have his reasons. I'll approve it first, and then we'll see what he plans to do.
Gin, a paranoid man, felt that Usui Saiki was being unusually quiet, but he never noticed anything amiss.
.
The lower-level members are lawbreakers who deserve the death penalty.
