The meeting with Elenika went smoothly, and the subsequent disguise did not take Aoi Hoshino long. However, since the object of disguise was a corpse, the disguise props did not fit the facial skin well enough, but it was not a big problem.
Aoi Hoshino reached out to help him adjust his posture, trying to make him look like he was unconscious, but still allow Gin and the others to see him clearly from outside.
After everything was done, he called Gin.
"Ring, ring, ring—"
"Ring, ring, ring—"
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. Hoshino Aoi was not anxious and just waited patiently until -
"Middles."
Gin's gloomy voice sounded in her ears. Even through the phone, Hoshino Aoi could feel his coldness at the moment.
"Yo~ Gin~"
There was no change in the expression on Hoshino Aoi's face, but her tone was extremely brisk, as if she didn't notice anything was wrong with the atmosphere at all, and she greeted the person on the other end of the phone:
"It's been a few days since we last met. Are you okay? Didn't that Rye guy plot against you while I was away? If so, I'll laugh at you for a hundred years~"
Unfortunately, Gin had no intention of paying any attention to her teasing.
"explain."
He said calmly, his tone giving off a feeling of 'if you dare to lie, you're dead':
"Rye said you saved Scotland."
"Humph, I knew he would turn the tables!"
Hoshino Aoi said angrily:
"He clearly took advantage of the confrontation between Scotland and me to attack me. If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would never see me again! And he actually turned the tables on me?! He's truly an FBI lackey, his methods are truly filthy!"
"oh?"
Gin had already learned from Miyano Akemi yesterday that 'Rye' was an undercover agent.
In addition, they already had some doubts about "Rye", so they didn't feel much about Miyano Akemi's report except that they were sure that she did not betray the organization.
However, the word "FBI" in Hoshino Aoi's words obviously caught Gin off guard.
He raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.
"Have you figured out Rye's true identity?"
"yes."
Hoshino Aoi's voice still sounded indignant:
"What do you think I've been doing these past three days?! You didn't really believe Rye's lies and think I eloped with Scotland, did you?!"
After saying this, without waiting for Gin to reply, he immediately said:
"I'm warning you, Gin. Don't make me question your intelligence! If you believe everything Rye, an undercover agent, says, I'll blow up all the organization's bases tomorrow. With your intelligence, there's no point in you living. You might as well die. It would save some air and contribute to the planet's environment."
"Oh……"
Compared to her who was getting more and more excited as she spoke, Gin was obviously much calmer.
"If I really believed what Rye said, do you think you could have spent three peaceful days like that?"
Given his aversion to undercover agents and traitors, and the organization's investigative capabilities, if she had really been identified as a traitor, did she think she could really escape the organization's investigation and pursuit?
Gin sneered, wondering how she had become stupid after not seeing her for three days.
Hearing this, Hoshino Aoi's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile appeared on the corners of her lips, but there was a hint of realization in her voice, as if she just understood what Gin's attitude meant.
but……
"what happened?"
She pretended to know nothing and asked curiously:
"Did Rye reveal something? Otherwise, how could you suddenly be so sure that there was something wrong with him?"
They had only suspected him before, but within just three days, they had confirmed that 'Rye' was an undercover agent, and had begun to doubt his words.
Normally, this would arouse other people's curiosity.
So even though Hoshino Aoi knew very well what had happened in the past three days, she still pretended to be confused and curious, and asked Gin:
"So, it seems that because they've confirmed that Rye's identity is questionable, they didn't suspect me? If I had known this, I wouldn't have rushed to investigate him. It's cost me three days of sleepless nights."
Her voice sounded somewhat resentful, and in response, Gin just sneered and said:
"Don't be too happy too soon. Although Rye's words can't be believed, he's not wrong about one thing. You did take Scotland away, and you haven't contacted the organization for so many days."
If the undercover identity of 'Rye' had not been confirmed immediately, the organization would not have issued an order to investigate 'Rye Whiskey', but an order to hunt down 'Middles'.
"Please, if I don't take Scotland with me, am I going to wait for Black Rye to rescue Scotland? When did the organization start doing charity? They've even started to show mercy to undercover agents? As for why I haven't contacted the organization for such a long time..."
Hoshino Aoi paused, then suddenly chuckled:
"Look, even now that I've confirmed Hei Rye's undercover identity, aren't you still questioning me and doubting me? So, to prevent anyone from blaming me, I must thoroughly investigate who the person is, and then, with evidence, prove that you can't believe anything he says."
"So, you've found evidence to prove he's from the FBI?"
"certainly."
Aoi Hoshino's tone sounded somewhat smug:
"And I've even found out his true identity. As for Scotland..."
She turned her head, and the slight friction sound came through the microphone and reached Gin's ears.
He tilted his head, carefully listening to the movements on her side.
It seems like Scotland is right beside her...
Gin's eyes flashed, and then he heard her continue:
"He's been too noisy and has refused to cooperate with me. He even tried to incite me to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department with him, saying he could protect me. Ha, do I need his protection?"
As Hoshino Aoi said this, she sneered with some disdain:
"Then I used anesthetic to knock him out, and he wasn't awake for three days."
At this point, her tone became a little unhappy:
"If I wasn't worried that you would suspect me and say that the person I killed wasn't Scotland, I would have killed him three days ago. Why would he have the right to complain in front of me? As a result, I have to make sure he is alive. If others knew about this, would I, Middles, still be able to stay in the underworld?"
