“Yes, I am Bourbon.” Public Security Detective Furuya Rei nodded. “This is my code name in the organization.”
"So, Ms. Miyano Akemi, we can be considered 'colleagues' in a way..."
"After learning my true identity..."
He looked at the horrified Miyano Akemi, the surprised Akechi, and the thoughtful Toyama Yoruichi, and openly declared.
"Just like I said before—the three of you have become my prisoners."
...
Yoruichi Toyama: I was terrified at the time.
Yoruichi Toyama: I was faking it.
Yoruichi Toyama: Actually, I felt nothing at all, and even felt like laughing a little.
Of all those present, Yoruichi Toyama knew Rei Furuya's multiple identities better than anyone else.
He knew it even better than he did.
After all, at this point in time, he had not yet become Kogoro Mouri's apprentice under the identity of "Toru Amuro" and had not yet joined Poirot Cafe.
Therefore, he could only scoff at the act of a fake wine bluffing to pass off as genuine.
He casually put the cat down and then focused on supporting the already swaying Akemi Miyano.
However, Miyano Akemi suddenly clenched her fists, seemingly trying to control the trembling in her body, and then shook him off and took a step forward.
They stood in his and Mingzhi's way.
“Bourbon, I won’t let you hurt them.” Her voice was as cold as ice, but her eyes burned with a fierce fire.
"At worst, we'll all die together!"
As her voice suddenly became more impassioned, Akemi Miyano pulled out a gleaming kitchen knife from somewhere, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Hey, Akemi!..."
"Miss Akemi, don't do anything reckless!"
While Miyano Akemi was still emotionally unstable, Toyama Yoruichi and Akechi rushed forward and grabbed her arms on either side.
Meanwhile, Rei Furuya on the other side seized the opportunity to snatch the kitchen knife.
However, due to the hasty action, he still managed to cut his tiger's mouth.
With a complex and unreadable expression, Furuya Rei sucked on the wound on his hand.
"Serves you right!" Yoruichi Toyama glared at him, then put her arm around Akemi Miyano's shoulder. "Calm down, Akemi, I think you've misunderstood."
"Mr. Furuya, he definitely can't be a member of the organization..."
Akemi Miyano's body, which had been struggling, suddenly stiffened.
"How...how did you know..."
“Because he’s a spy,” Mingzhi said with a mixture of helplessness and contempt.
"Anyone who can get into the police force can't be an undercover agent for a criminal organization, otherwise Japan would really be doomed."
"So it can only be the opposite; he's an undercover agent from the public security police who infiltrated your organization..."
"And the fewer people who know about this, the better."
"That's what he meant when he said he didn't want me and Yuanshan to stay here."
Akemi Miyano listened, looking bewildered.
It was as if they couldn't sort out such a complex logic all at once.
But gradually, light returned to her eyes.
That was a confirmation that a glimmer of hope had been seen.
"So, you really are..."
Rei Furuya looked at her and nodded seriously.
"Yes, Ms. Akemi."
"I am Rei Furuya, a secret police officer belonging to the Security Planning Division of the National Police Agency's Security Bureau."
