In that situation, no one could have imagined what would happen next; they just didn't want Aunt Absinthe, who always had the upper hand, to be smug.
It seems that taking that shot wasn't for nothing.
While Yoruichi Toyama was distracted, Kenzo Masuyama on the other end of the phone recounted the entire scene of being sniped.
Ireland, who had been struggling excitedly, stopped and remained silent for a long time.
“Kenshiro!” Masuyama Kenzo called out, “You’ve been with me since you were a boy, and I’ve treated you like my own son.”
"If you also regard me as your father, how will you treat the benefactor who saved your father?"
Language has never been the most powerful tool for persuading others.
However, Ireland was not entirely unaware of the scene described by Kenzo Masuyama.
He simply assumed it was a failed rescue operation by Vermouth.
But now there is another explanation.
If the two explanations were still evenly matched in his mind, then Masuyama Kenzo's emotional appeal was the final factor.
This finally tipped the scales in Ireland's heart to one side.
“I understand…” he said with a deep sigh. “Thank you, Mr. Masuyama, for letting me know the truth.”
"And... thank you, Detective Toyama!"
"I will fully cooperate with whatever information you need me to provide."
...
After confirming that Ireland was being genuinely honest, Kazami had most of his restraints removed, his hood taken off, and his handcuffs put back on.
However, before that, Amuro Tooru had already left the interrogation room with the escorts.
When it was out of sight in Ireland, Kazami pointed to the mirror on the wall.
A one-way mirror!
Yoruichi Toyama suddenly realized.
This is indeed a cautious approach until the three identities of "Rei Furuya", "Toru Amuro" and "Bourbon" are completely integrated into one.
Kazami, who had received advance instructions from Amuro Tooru, presided over the interrogation.
He first had Ireland and Kenzo Masuyama have another video call to confirm that what had just happened was not some kind of deception by the police.
"Based on the evidence we have now, your crimes are enough to warrant a ten or twenty-year sentence."
Kazami's opening remarks are so disheartening.
Ireland looked slightly dejected.
“It’s what I deserve,” he said sullenly, “but Mr. Masuyama…”
Kenzo Masuyama is already 70 years old, and it's hard to say whether he has another ten years to live.
"Let me finish speaking first," Kazami said.
"At the same time, we also found that Masuyama Automobile Group is a legitimate company and has not made any improper profits, so this part of the property will not be confiscated."
In other words, if he could successfully get out of prison, Kenzo Masuyama could still be a wealthy man and enjoy his old age.
If he and Ireland truly had such a deep bond, they could easily have lived a comfortable life together as father and son.
Ireland, however, remains deeply worried.
"Is it possible... in other words, if we fully cooperate with the police investigation, Mr. Masuyama could get a reduced sentence?"
This person is quite righteous, as he didn't mention anything about himself.
Kazami, however, remained silent with a blank expression.
"That depends on whether the information you provide is truly valuable."
“I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!” Ireland eagerly chimed in.
He recounted his entire operation of impersonating Manager Matsumoto from beginning to end, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
“You can completely trust me!” he said. “After all, like Mr. Masuyama, I have completely lost hope in that organization.”
As he said, Kenzo Masuyama was recruited by the brewery after he had achieved some success in his business.
The company is not a business of the brewery, but rather a side business of Masuyama.
Over the years, Masuyama has not been able to make a greater fortune from the brewery; instead, it has received a considerable amount of compensation from the company.
They truly brought their own food and powered their energy with love.
Of course, Masuyama probably had his own agenda, but he didn't tell the boy he adopted.
As Kenshiro grew up, his talents in both literature and martial arts caught the eye of the brewery, which recruited him. Within a few years, he earned the codename "Ireland" from the core members.
Meanwhile, as Masuyama Kenzo grew older and realized that the brewery was a bottomless pit of money, he began to secretly consider retiring.
When he made it clear that he wanted to retire, Gin assigned him one last mission.
That is, the mission to assassinate the senator.
He later learned that the distillery had no intention of sparing his life.
Kenzo Masuyama has already written a will to have Ireland inherit the vast Masuyama Group business.
If the vermouth operation goes smoothly, Kenzo Masuyama's death will be blamed on the police, and Ireland, who deeply loves his adoptive father, will only be more devoted to the distillery, handing over a large fortune in the process.
This outpouring of grievances greatly shocked Yuanshan Yeyi.
What kind of exploitative company is this? Even the most ruthless capitalists will back down, and the wealthiest landlords will bow down in defeat!
So, joining the distillery means that members not only have to dedicate their youth to the organization, but also their entire lives, and even their children and grandchildren.
They won't even leave anyone a penny for their coffin?
Then don't blame the distillery for not letting anyone work for you except for gin and vodka.
What does Gin represent? It represents the realization of self-worth.
Vodka... too, but his self-worth comes from "Gin's approval".
It transcends base desires and doesn't compare itself to them.
"However," Yoruichi Toyama asked, somewhat puzzled, "the alcohol... is your organization really that short of money?"
Thinking about it this way, Aunt Vermouth taking over the identity of "Aizawa Akane" wasn't just to deal with that delusional maniac, Mitsui Fumiya.
