Chapter 114 Chapter 114 You promised me!
Olga would eventually leave. As a member of the organization, she couldn't stay by Rei's side constantly to keep him locked up. This was almost destined from the beginning.
She had to carry out the tasks assigned to her by the organization.
Olga's mission this time was to go to Southeast Asia and sort out the organization's money laundering channels. Since Slivovitz was arrested by the police, some of the organization's money laundering channels had been inevitably affected.
Before leaving, Olga folded her arms, her right index finger tapping rhythmically on her left forearm. She simply stared at Furuya Rei, silent.
Should I take him to Southeast Asia? Olga was still worried about not keeping him under her watch. But...
Money laundering channels are extremely important to the organization. Bringing Rei Furuya with you, even if you intentionally try to avoid anything related to money laundering channels in front of him, he will definitely discover some clues on his own. This would be extremely disadvantageous to the organization.
Suddenly, Fūya Rei raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. He smiled, his eyes curved, and assured Olga in a relaxed yet solemn tone:
"I will be a good boy and will never put myself in danger. I promise you, Olya."
Olga stared at him, pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision: "It's settled."
Then she directed several lower-level members of the organization to move her suitcase out.
"Well, goodbye, Lingling." Olga tiptoed a little and hugged Furuya Ling.
However, this time, before Olga could make any move, Furiya Rei had already put his cheek against hers.
Their skins were pressed tightly together, and they could clearly hear each other's breathing and feel each other's warmth.
He whispered softly and tenderly in her ear:
"Goodbye, Olya. I'll wait for you to come home."
After three such cheek kisses, Fūya Rei reluctantly released her embrace. His eyes held a smile, and his expression and demeanor were both incredibly natural and graceful.
Olga was still a little dazed when she got on the car to the airport.
She raised her left hand and, uncertainly, touched her cheek with her fingertips. Then, once again, she confirmed—something was wrong with Ling Ling. He was no longer the Ling Ling who would blush at the mere touch of a hug.
but,
Olga didn't realize that the corners of her mouth had inadvertently curled up.
That's good too, isn't it?
*
Olga left, and Rei Furuya contacted Kazami almost immediately.
He casually let go of the fact that he had "disappeared" a week ago due to a disagreement, and then talked to Kazami about the recent electrical appliance explosion terrorist attack and asked him for more details.
Unfortunately, Kazami didn't have any details. The police could only conclude based on the scale that this was a terrorist attack.
After listening to Kazami's report, Furuya Rei asked him:
"Can all those exploding appliances be connected to the internet?"
"Huh?"
Kazami was stunned for a moment on the other end of the line, and then, Furuya Rei could clearly hear the sound of papers shuffling. It seemed that Kazami hadn't thought about it in this way before.
After a while, Kazami's voice came from the other end of the line. His tone was slightly higher than usual, and he stuttered a bit. Obviously, after Furuya Rei's question, he had realized something:
"Yes, that's right. Could it be——"
"Yes, it's the Internet of Things," Fūya Rei calmly stated his analysis. "The criminal used the internet to indiscriminately cause connected appliances to go out of control."
The person on the other end of the phone said almost immediately, "I'll have the Metropolitan Police Department issue a notice, reminding citizens not to connect any electrical appliances to the Internet until the criminal is apprehended!"
Hearing the urgent tone of Kazemi, he seemed to be about to start this matter immediately. However, Furuya Rei stopped him:
"No, Kazami. Don't release the news, it will alert the enemy."
"But—!" Feng Jian almost subconsciously wanted to refute. His right hand, which was holding the phone, trembled uncontrollably, and he struggled internally. In the end, he just lowered his head and replied reluctantly but submissively, "Yes."
His superior, Rei Furuya, is the most outstanding elite in the public security system, but also a ruthless killer. To achieve a greater goal, he does not mind using cruel and dark means.
Kazami knew he couldn't change this. He couldn't change Rei Furuya's mind, nor could he stop Rei Furuya's actions. All he could do was obey. And then... catch the criminal as soon as possible and minimize casualties.
On the other end of the line, Furuya Rei seemed completely oblivious to Kazami's anomaly. Or perhaps he noticed but pretended not to know or care.
"Uh--Bomb Man."
Furuya Rei pondered for a moment:
"Criminals who use bombings typically have four main motivations.
First, it's about getting attention. These criminals are often losers in life, and they do this just to be seen."
"Impossible!" Feng Jian almost subconsciously denied this possibility. "The criminal was able to use the Internet to carry out such a large-scale explosion. With such skills, he can't be a loser in real life!"
"Yes, that's right." Furuya Rei calmly confirmed Kazami's reasoning, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He continued:
"The second situation is to exert power. These prisoners feel powerless and passive in real life, often acting in a submissive manner. They need to resort to crime to compensate for this powerlessness. Bombs, however, allow them to feel powerful."
"I don't think the criminal this time is this type..." Feng Jian said this, of course, just out of directness. If he were to list the evidence, he would be unable to explain it clearly.
Furuya Rei didn't say the room was right, nor did he say it was wrong. He just continued:
"The third type is revenge. These individuals believe they have been treated unfairly and use bombings to retaliate against a specific person, institution, or social group, seeking retribution for a perceived wrong."
"Hmm..." Kazami murmured, "I feel a little closer, but something still seems wrong..."
Furuya Rei did not offer his own opinion and continued:
"The fourth situation is to promote an idea. This motive is the rarest. This type of prisoner wants to convey a political, religious, or social idea—"
"That's it!"
Feng Jian suddenly interrupted loudly in excitement, and then reacted,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Furuya. I mean, the Tokyo Summit will be held next week, and important figures from all over the world will be there. The criminal chose this time to launch a large-scale IoT terrorist attack, and specifically chose Tokyo, right—"
Furuya Rei's expression finally grew serious. "Where will the Tokyo Summit be held?"
"An international conference center at the Marine-no-Hama integrated resort on an artificial island in Tokyo Bay!"
If it wasn't inconvenient to sit in the car, Feng Jian would have almost jumped up.
"Before the Tokyo Summit begins, the Criminal Division, Public Security Division, and Security Division will all take turns conducting on-site inspections. This afternoon is the day for our Public Security Division's inspection! I need to rush over immediately!"
Fūya Rei's brows furrowed, and he immediately stood up, picked up a coat, tucked his phone between his shoulders, and walked out of the house while putting on his coat: "Send me the address, I'll go with you."
"--yes!"
Kazami's confidence surged. He didn't trust Mr. Furuya's character, but he had absolute faith in his abilities. It looked like this IoT terrorist attack would soon be solved!
*
The final result was not satisfactory.
During the inspection, an explosion occurred at the summit site. Compared to previous explosions across Tokyo, this was undoubtedly the largest. The detonation point was a rice cooker in a restaurant at the summit site.
Many police colleagues died on the spot because they were at the center of the explosion.
Furuya Rei and Kazami Yuya, having already completed their inspection and identified all potential safety hazards, decided to return immediately to devise solutions and were already at the venue's gates. Therefore, they were simply blown away by the blast and escaped unharmed.
But even so, the two of them were feeling unwell and were injured to varying degrees.
Especially Rei Furuya, who had been shot three times by Gin before and whose wounds hadn't healed yet. Plus, he had incurred some new injuries the night Gin strafed the Toudou Aquarium with his helicopter. And then there was this explosion...
With old injuries compounded by new ones, Furuya Rei's condition was far from perfect. He developed a low-grade fever almost immediately, and felt dizzy. This was a silent warning from his immune system.
Rei Furuya tended to his wounds at home, giving a somewhat helpless smile. If Olga knew... He shook his head and tied the bandage. Then, he put on his clothes and, groggy, headed out again.
He must resolve this farce as soon as possible.
But it seems...
Trying hard to control his trembling hands, Rei Furuya touched his burning forehead with his cold hands, sighed silently, and rested his forehead on the steering wheel.
It seems that this time, I have to seek help from some external forces.
Rei Furuya came to the safe house where he had agreed to meet with Kazami, and told Kazami the part of the plan he should know that he had temporarily modified on the way.
"What?!" Feng Jian stood up from his chair almost subconsciously after hearing this. The wooden chair was pushed back a little by his movement, rubbing against the plastic floor, making a sharp sound.
This kind of sound was undoubtedly even more unbearable for someone with a fever. Furuya Rei suppressed the discomfort brought on by the dizziness, propped up his forehead with one hand, and turned slightly to look at the indignant Kazami with that expression he was most familiar with, a look without a trace of fluctuation.
Soon, under Furuya Rei's calm gaze, Kazami sat down again somewhat timidly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Furuya. I just—" Kazami lowered his head, his hands under the table constantly rubbing his sleeves, "I just..."
"You think this is wrong," Furuya Rei directly pointed out Kazami's thoughts. His tone was flat, as if he was objectively expounding on a theory.
But Feng Jian still felt terrified for no reason.
Kazami looked up at Furuya Rei, then quickly lowered his head again. However, he did not refute his words.
"Kazemi," Furuya Rei felt even more dizzy. He clenched his hand that was supporting his forehead into a fist, applying pressure to his forehead with his knuckles in an attempt to ease the dizziness while trying to maintain a normal tone of voice. "We are the Public Security Bureau."
Just this one sentence, just this one statement of fact, was enough to render Kazami completely speechless.
Yes, they are the public security. To achieve their goals, they will not hesitate to use any means, even if they are shady. But...
Kazami thought, since Mr. Fūya is so close to the truth, why doesn't he go and check it out himself?
Fūya Rei concealed his situation so well that even his direct subordinate, Kazami, didn't know that he was actually seriously injured and hadn't recovered yet. The only reason he could still sit here and talk to Kazami seemingly normally was that he was relying on his great willpower.
Furuya Rei's silence was mistaken by Kazami as an expression of dissatisfaction with him.
Out of an inexplicable fear for his boss, Kazami almost immediately agreed to Furuya Rei's plan: "I understand, Mr. Furuya, I will do it well, don't worry!"
Furiya Rei seemed about to say something, but at that moment, his phone rang.
Feng Jian saw his stern and cold boss, and the moment he saw the caller ID, he curled the corners of his lips in a rare and strange way.
But soon, when Feng Jian looked over again, he had returned to his expressionless look, which made Feng Jian wonder whether the fleeting smile just now was just an illusion.
As Furuya Rei was about to answer the phone, Kazami consciously said goodbye.
"Well then, I'll go make the arrangements first, Mr. Furuya."
He stood up and nodded to Furuya Rei.
Furiya Rei just waved at him.
Kazami bowed slightly, turned around, and quickened his pace to leave.
In fact, he had already guessed who was calling, Kazami thought. In all the years he had worked with Mr. Furuya, there was only one person who could make Mr. Furuya look so sincere and not fake.

Olga saw Rei Furuya on TV.
She is in Southeast Asia, but has been following developments in Japan, especially Tokyo, from afar.
So, while watching the news, Olga naturally saw the fleeting figure of Rei Furuya in the video of the explosion at the Tokyo Summit venue.
He is disobedient!
This was Olga's first thought.
This video must not be seen by the organization.
This was Olga's second thought after she calmed down. What if the organization saw its core members appear at the public security inspection summit venue on the day...
No. Absolutely not!
Olga dropped the barbed cane. The barbs were now covered in blood and bits of flesh. She left the unfortunate creature, who was no longer recognizable as a human, and left the room filled with the smell of blood.
However, in an open space with a wide view, Olga leaned against the wall, paying close attention to the surrounding situation, took out her cell phone and dialed the number.
The phone rang several times before it was connected.
A gentle and familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Olia——"
"You promised me!" Before Furi Rei could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Olga in frustration.
The air was silent for two seconds, and then Furuya Rei's voice sounded again, with an imperceptible weakness: "Sorry, Oria."
"What's going on?" Olga immediately noticed something was wrong with Rei Furuya's voice. Her brows furrowed in frustration, and her angry tone softened unconsciously. "What's wrong with you?"
Rei Furuya seemed to smile, a little breathy. Olga didn't hear it clearly, but she heard him say in his usual tone, "I'm fine. Sorry to have worried you, Olya."
If nothing happens, then something fishy must be happening!
Olga was upset. But Rei Furuya was so weak that he could barely hide his tone... The combination of his previous injuries and the new ones must have been making him feel quite uncomfortable.
Olga closed her eyes, and when she spoke again, the exasperation in her voice had completely vanished. She slowed down her tone, and although she was still angry, it was much softer:
"Lingling, immediately, find a way to delete this video. There can't be a trace of it left on the internet. Can you do it?"
"What video?" Furuya Rei's confusion was obvious on the other end of the line. He wasn't pretending.
Olga sighed silently. This guy, once he was busy with work, probably wouldn't even turn on the TV to check the news.
"When Tokyo TV was reporting on the bombing, you were captured on the live video."
In the silence, Olga didn't know why she added a sentence, but it sounded like she was trying to comfort Rei Furuya.
"Only half a second. Organization members don't like to watch the news. You still have time, Zero."
Deleting a video from the entire internet was certainly no problem for Rei Furuya. Less than five minutes after the two ended their call, when Olga opened her phone's browser to search again, the video had vanished from the internet without a trace.
This is something the police are good at.
*
After Furuya Rei deleted the live video shot by TV Tokyo from the entire network and destroyed the original, Kazami finally completed the fabrication of physical evidence and successfully made Maori Kogoro the first suspect of this electrical appliance bombing. Then,
They dragged Conan into the case.
Within two days, before Maori Kogoro was formally charged, Conan deduced the true identity of the criminal. And Furuya Rei...his injuries had finally recovered somewhat—at least his fever had subsided—and he was able to move freely again.
During this time, Rei Furuya kept an eye on Conan's movements. Finally, they caught the perpetrator of the IoT terrorism attack outside the Metropolitan Police Department—the prosecutor Kusakabe, who was originally in charge of prosecuting Kogoro Mori.
Kusakabe's original plan was to hack into the return capsule of NASA's Mars rover and cause it to crash into the Metropolitan Police Department.
Fortunately, they threatened Kusakabe to reveal the code, successfully changing the trajectory of the return capsule. With the help of the drone developed by Dr. Agasa, the drone carried explosives and assisted the return capsule to successfully open the parachute.
Just when everyone thought this farce could finally be over——
"wrong!"
Conan looked up at the sky, where the return capsule was approaching the ground like a meteor. It had changed direction and was now heading towards the Casino Tower on the ocean shore! The Casino Tower was the location where the people near the Metropolitan Police Department were being evacuated...
Without giving it much thought, Conan immediately activated his skateboard and sped off towards the casino tower. He had to stop the return capsule; Ran was still there!
Unfortunately, the speed of a skateboard is limited. Furthermore, the Metropolitan Police Department's evacuation efforts caused widespread panic among the public, and many people who were not originally in the danger zone were now driving to the Casino Tower for shelter.
In short, the road conditions were very bad, and for a while, traffic jams and dangerous driving coexisted.
At this moment, Rei Furuya drove over. He picked up Conan, and the two drove towards the casino tower.
Conan swore that this was his first time riding in a car and he was so scared. Compared to Rei Furuya, Kudo Yukiko's dangerous driving and showmanship seemed like a child's play!
This guy really dares to drive towards the speeding Shinkansen!
At that time, Conan felt that he was about to fly out, and he barely managed to hold on to the handrail on the roof to stabilize himself. Then he looked over and saw that they were about to hit the Shinkansen!
"Mr. Amuro!!!" It would be a lie to say he wasn't panicking. Even Conan couldn't help but panic at this moment. His eyes nearly popped out of his head as he looked at the Shinkansen train that was about to collide with them.
At this critical moment, Conan saw that Furuya Zero showed an excited expression.
He is so crazy...
The next second, the car turned sideways and passed by the Shinkansen at almost 90 degrees.
Amidst the huge noise, Conan felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He saw it! Sparks were flying after the wheels rubbed against the Shinkansen!
The car won't explode by itself then, right?
After another terrifying sprint, the two drove the car, which had become a battle-damaged car, to a parking garage near the casino tower.
Now, according to the calculated route, as long as they reach the top floor of the parking garage, there is hope that they can use Conan's football to change the direction of the return capsule again and make it fall into the Pacific Ocean.
"The power of love is truly great."
The elevator continued to rise. Rei Furuya looked at Conan beside him. He had looked frightened just now, but he hadn't flinched at all.
Is it because of that girl named Mao Lilan? She is also in the casino tower.
Conan was obviously a little shy, or perhaps a little embarrassed, by Amuro Toru's question. He tried to turn the tables, so he deliberately put on an expression that he had everything under control and asked back:
"I've always wanted to ask, Mr. Amuro, do you have a girlfriend?"
Although it was to turn the tables, Conan was actually genuinely curious about this question. Unlike other undercover agents Conan had encountered, Furuya Rei seemed cold-blooded, or in other words, more unscrupulous.
Can a guy like this really have a lover?
But then he heard Furuya Rei laugh silently. Conan had never seen him with such an expression before—an expression that was without any purpose, a bit ostentatious, and genuine.
"Actually—"
The elevator has reached the top floor. Before the elevator door opened, Conan saw Furuya Rei winking at him.
"I'm married."
He just casually dropped a bombshell in Conan's mind.
“——Huh? Huh——?!”
If it weren't for the seatbelt, Conan would have almost jumped up.
Married!?
Are you kidding him again?
Conan looked at Furuya Rei with some suspicion, trying to confirm the truth of his words. But just then, with a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and Furuya Rei stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, rushing out at full speed.
Conan didn't even have time to see the expression on Rei Furuya's face before he staggered due to the push on his back caused by the sudden acceleration.
The car smashed through the glass on the top floor of the parking garage and soared into the air. Before falling rapidly, Conan unbuckled his seat belt, climbed out of the car window, and kicked out a fireworks football while shouting:
“Go ahead—!!!”
Amidst the sudden burst of brilliant light in the night sky, Conan himself was indeed falling straight down from mid-air at an accelerated rate.
Then the feeling of weightlessness suddenly lessened. It was Rei Furuya who had grabbed Conan. He shattered the glass of the building opposite with his gun and rushed in with Conan, crashing into the shattered glass.
The two men had no time to care about the broken glass on their bodies. As soon as they sat up, they hurriedly looked in the direction of the casino tower, and then - they breathed a sigh of relief - several ropes fixing the casino tower were broken, and other than that, it was safe and sound.
Rei Furuya stood up, enduring the pain from the accumulation of new and old injuries. He was about to leave quickly to go to the hospital to treat the broken glass and other new injuries before Olga returned, when he heard Conan's voice from behind him:
"Why do you want to involve Uncle Kogoro?"
Furuya Rei didn't even turn around, but from what he said, it seemed as if he had put on that unkind mask again:
"I'm in a position where I can't conduct an open investigation. As long as I involve him, you'll inevitably become my assistant. That way, I can draw on your true strength."
Of course, the most crucial reason is that Furuya Rei himself is too seriously injured. Even if he can conduct an open investigation, he is unable to do so. However, he will not tell Conan this.
In fact, until now, not to mention Kazami, even Conan, who always had a sharp eye, couldn't even see that Furuya Rei's physical condition was actually very bad. He concealed it too well.
Conan didn't seem satisfied with this answer. Perhaps out of sarcasm, or perhaps out of curiosity, he suddenly raised his voice and asked:
"What if it's Mr. Amuro's lover? If you think it's necessary, will you use her?"
Conan paused for a moment when he saw the back of Rei Furuya with satisfaction.
How about that? You were so confident when you were using Uncle Kogoro and me. But when it comes to the people you care about, can you still be so decisive, so cold and rational?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Furuya Ling turned around and smiled at him. This smile was really cold.
"If the time comes when I think it's necessary, of course."
After saying this, he turned and left, leaving Conan standing there in a daze, his eyes wide open.
Amuro Toru is serious! Conan realized.
Hello...
Conan suddenly remembered the story of Akai Shuichi and Miyano Akemi. He couldn't help but shudder - Mr. Amuro's marriage partner...could he also get married to better penetrate the organization?!
Conan felt that he had uncovered the truth, although as a detective, he shouldn't have thought so without any evidence.
It was at this time that Conan realized that Amuro Toru was different from the undercover agents he had met before. He would really give up his bottom line and do whatever it takes.
*
Rei Furuya went to tend to his wounds. He had to finish everything before Olga came back.
But unfortunately, Olga has already arrived in Japan.
At this moment, she was standing in front of the wreckage of the white Mazda RX-7 with a gloomy expression.
