Chapter 46
After playing the victim, Morofushi Kagemitsu sensed Vodka's silent sympathy and tentatively asked, "I don't think I can be of much help here. How about we switch you to another mission?"
Vodka felt sorry for him, but he refused.
“No, I’ve already told him that you’d be working with him on this mission. Now that I can’t contact him, he’s suddenly replacing you. He’ll definitely be furious when he gets back.” Vodka said earnestly, “For the sake of the organization, just bear with it a little longer. Report to me as soon as there’s progress.”
Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't really want to get out of the mission. His act of playing the victim was partly a genuine expression of emotion, and partly because he thought that this performance would gain Vodka's trust.
If you do a job, you have to make people remember your efforts, otherwise it's all for nothing. Undercover agents need to pay even more attention to this, otherwise it will be difficult to climb the ranks.
Vodka's response was exactly what Morofushi Kagemitsu had expected, so he followed up with a slightly hesitant tone, asking, "Potnis is also an executive. Would it be inappropriate for me and him to report our missions to you?"
Completely unaware that he had been tricked into revealing information, Vodka thought it was a perfectly normal concern, and was even pleased that he seemed so concerned about the organizational class order, so he responded.
"Don't worry, it's Boss's order to keep an eye on Potts's movements. He's a terrible manager, relying entirely on his adoptive father's legacy. Look at him, he doesn't even have any subordinates he can easily mobilize, he has to come to me for help... The main problem is that he's too mysterious, has a somewhat crazy personality, and isn't very loyal to the organization. It would be bad if he did something that would affect the organization. If you're on the organization's side, you should listen to me more and listen to him less."
This is a lot of information. Morobushi Kagemitsu didn't expect that he would get so much information just from asking a question.
His and Zero's previous guesses were partly correct; Usoppei Saiki did indeed hold a prominent position in the organization, but the Boss did not trust him... In other words, Usoppei Saiki probably didn't know much about the organization's secrets.
That legacy from his adoptive father… Does the adoptive father refer to Alex? Vodka once said, “Even if Alex were resurrected, it wouldn’t save you.”
This guy, Yali, was probably a key member of the organization. Because he passed away, it was only because of his death that the irresponsible and somewhat mentally unstable second-generation heir, Usakabe Saiki, was able to take over.
Judging from his seemingly indifferent attitude and the fact that he even received a code name, it's probably because the Boss wants to maintain the connections of the people in the elixir. After all, if the Boss wants to take a mysterious route, he's bound to encounter the problem of his subordinates becoming too powerful.
So that's how it is. Bo Yezaki is very casual about the organization, but the organization can't do without him for the time being, but even if he were gone, it wouldn't shake its foundation... That makes sense.
There's really nothing worth arresting and interrogating about Bo Ye Saiki, but dealing with him more might be another shortcut to building trust with the cadre, Vodka.
Zero, through Vodka's sympathy, has obtained some information that shouldn't be known at their level, proving that this path is useful.
While it's possible that they felt Zero was about to be promoted to a higher-ranking position and could be more lenient, as Gin's partner, Vodka had long been in contact with the organization's core members, and anything he casually mentioned could be information they needed.
This is the difference between cadres and outsiders. Therefore, an undercover agent cannot slack off too much and must infiltrate the cadre circle as soon as possible.
“Since this is for the organization’s sake, I know what to do.” Morofushi Kagemitsu stated his position and began to take sides. “If I discover anything, I will report to you immediately.”
Vodka felt good that he had gained another member of his team to fight against Bo Ye Saiki's squad: "It doesn't matter if this mission fails. The fact that you can stay at Potnis's house means he doesn't dislike you. Try to build a good relationship with him, and it would be best if you could find out where he is and what he does all the time."
Morofushi Kagemitsu said quietly, "You are also his friend. If you make the suggestion, he will let you move in as well."
Vodka: "...I'm busy here. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
Don't say such terrifying things! Are Usoppō Saiki's friends really friends?! They're victims of persecution!!!
Morofushi Kagemitsu put away his phone and mentally reviewed the information he had just received. He felt that his days of cleaning had not been in vain, and his unease subsided somewhat.
So, I guess I've gotten on vodka's bandwagon. The problem now is, if I want to deepen my connection with vodka, I need to find out where Usuke Saiki is... So, where is Usuke Saiki?
Could it be that he went crazy and got sanctioned for wandering onto someone else's turf?
Should he also infiltrate that church and see what's going on?
Despite Morofushi Kagemitsu's worry that his life might have already ended, Usaku Saiki attended police academy classes peacefully for a week.
To say that nothing happened would be inaccurate, since the principal came to talk to him, implying that he wanted to forgive the person who attacked him.
But the principal soon forgot about him, because although the police academy tried to suppress the news, people's love of gossip was irrepressible. Students at school told students who had taken leave to go home, and those students told their parents... It was fine if they didn't know each other, but if they did know each other, their enthusiasm for sharing was even greater.
Finally, the parents of the child who had previously committed suicide due to bullying also received the news and rushed to the police academy. Upon hearing that the victim was to be asked to forgive the victim in this case, they immediately began to put pressure on the principal, claiming they would tell reporters...
In any case, it's currently only circulating within a small circle, and the outside world hasn't heard anything about it yet, or perhaps those who heard it after it passed through a few hands didn't take it seriously. But if reporters get involved, then it won't be a small matter; it will be completely contrary to the higher-ups' intentions.
So now the pressure has shifted to the school leaders, who are now arguing with agitated parents, while Bo Yezhaiji is quite relaxed.
Even in his leisurely state, Bo Yezaki didn't forget the boast he had made to Vodka.
Usoha Saiki actually had no idea what that religion was all about. His understanding of it came entirely from what the two believers told the police on the day they framed him.
However, Vodka had ill intentions at the time, and in order to refuse to work in an office, Usoppei Saiki could only find a sucker to complete the task.
He wanted to maintain his current free life, so he had to at least pretend to be working hard. As long as he could save face, his boss wouldn't hold it against him too much.
So Usakabe Saiki began collecting information about the "Happiness Truth Cult," and even called the Metropolitan Police Department to ask Inspector Megure for information.
Inspector Megure was a little surprised when he received the call. When he heard that the purpose of the call was to learn about the "Happy Truth Cult," he instinctively wanted to refuse.
For some reason, his first reaction was that Hanchuan Shenliu wanted to take revenge.
But soon, Inspector Megure remembered that they were police academy students and wouldn't do such a thing. He had misunderstood them before, so feeling apologetic, he didn't immediately refuse. Instead, he asked, "They did confess to some things. What are you trying to do with all this information?"
"I'm just a little concerned. After all, I was completely innocent in this mess, so it's normal to want to know why I was framed, right?"
Inspector Megure's rational mind thought it was normal, but his emotional mind thought it was a bit abnormal, and he even considered calling the police... Oh, he's a policeman, so it's alright.
"This is not in accordance with the rules..."
“Inspector Megure, I am the victim. Shouldn’t I still have the right to know some harmless information about the case that is related to me? Besides, it seems that I was the one who solved this case.”
The police department was speechless.
Because of the attack on Kankawa Shinryu at the police academy, the higher-ups wanted to suppress it and didn't want the victim to be in the limelight recently, so the case didn't receive any recognition.
Inspector Megure felt a little sorry for Shinryu Samakawa, especially since it wasn't really a matter of principle. This religion wasn't some secret society, and even if he didn't answer, Shinryu Samakawa had plenty of other ways to find out the information.
Somewhat hesitant, Inspector Megure finally provided the information after being persuaded by Shinryu Sugawa.
Kenji Hagiwara also noticed that Saiki Usaba had been busy investigating the "Happy Truth Cult" recently.
Bo Yezaki's reason was that he had never been exposed to this religion before and was curious to learn about it.
There are actually many religions of various kinds in Japan, but when Kenji Hagiwara recalled the orphanage in the remote countryside on his resume... he felt he could understand it; such religions look down on poor people.
So after Usuiba Saiki got the information from Inspector Megure, Hagiwara Kenji also took a look at it.
After the two were arrested, they confessed to a lot of things. Perhaps because they harbored deep resentment, they felt that if they hadn't joined that religion, none of this would have happened. Therefore, they focused on complaining about a lot of the religion's dark history.
Bo Yezhai concluded: "Clearly they are not devout enough, otherwise they would have given their money to the leader long ago, instead of being swindled by the followers. The fact that they were not fooled by the leader shows that they are not stupid, but only to a limited extent."
Kenji Hagiwara: "...That's not the point."
Ever since their last argument, Kenji Hagiwara has noticed that the other person is talking more and more in front of him, and sometimes the criticisms are particularly sharp... But in front of others, Shinryu Hagiwara is still the cold and cool guy, looking like he's too lazy to talk.
Kenji Hagiwara is quite pleased with this change.
Bo Yezhai continued reading the information: "The cult leader knows hypnosis, so many people are fooled and more and more people are joining the cult."
Kenji Hagiwara frowned repeatedly: "This has harmed so many people... and so many of them committed suicide voluntarily... so many families have been torn apart..."
"This cult leader deserves to die."
Kenji Hagiwara was pessimistic: "...It's difficult. Most people volunteer, and we probably can't get evidence against the rest. Besides, Japan hasn't sentenced anyone to death in a long time."
In Japan, it is difficult to convict such heinous acts committed under the guise of religion, and since the ignorant believers claim it is voluntary, it is difficult for the police to intervene.
Bo Yezhai seemed to be deep in thought.
It's not good to always be out of step with the organization's style. Even if it's him, it's best to submit a pledge of allegiance to show that everyone is on the same side, so that he can better court disaster.
This cult leader is pretty good; let's see if vodka goes well with him.
On Friday, in order to prove his alibi, Usakata Saiki did not plan to take leave and wanted the police academy to testify for him again.
On the contrary, Instructor Onizuka waited and waited, but he didn't come to submit his application form. He was getting really upset and came to find him: "Aren't you going to ask for leave this week?"
Bo Yezhai nodded: "There are still books I haven't finished reading."
Instructor Onizuka asked with some concern, "Do you have any other enemies?"
Usakabe Saiki: "...I remember that security at the police academy has been strengthened, so the situation from last week shouldn't happen again."
Instructor Onizuka: "...That's not what I meant, cough, never mind."
Having failed to achieve his goal, Instructor Onizuka left with a worried expression.
He didn't really think it was that mystical, but he was very anxious and didn't sleep well all night, constantly hallucinating that the phone was ringing.
The next day, upon discovering that nothing had happened, Instructor Onizuka was so moved he almost cried. He readily agreed when he heard that Shinryu Sugawa also planned to spend the day reading in his room.
"Sure! Reading is a good thing!"
Usaku Saiki, who was thought to be peacefully reading and resting in the dormitory, betrayed the trust of Instructor Onizuka.
On Saturday night, he first called Vodka, falsely reporting the results of the negotiations, and then waited a while before finally calling Morofushi Kagemitsu.
Morifushi Kagemitsu replied almost instantly: "Potnis, where have you been these past few days?"
Without leaving the police academy, Usakawa Saiki calmly replied, "I went to negotiate."
Morofushi Kagemitsu had already received a tip from Vodka, knowing that not only had the negotiations failed, but Vodka had also decided to silence him. He didn't know if Usui Saiki had let it slip or committed some sin... but he still had to keep up the act, so he asked, "What was the result?"
"Not ideal. Now, take your gun and go to this place."
Bo Yezaki opened the [Universal Navigation] app and gave Morofushi Kagemitsu a series of addresses: "Vodka said he wanted to silence him."
Just as he had thought, Vodka wanted him to "do something" in Japan so that the organization would have leverage over him, so he easily issued the order to silence him.
After a pause, Usoppō Saiki continued.
"Don't worry, this is a very safe and simple task. I will make sure you get out of here unscathed. Just follow my instructions."
