"At 4pm today, I saw Akai Tsutomu in the wealthy area of Beika-cho 2-chome."
In the corner, Vermouth walked out of the shadows, came to the desk, lit a thin cigarette, and joined the group of people puffing smoke.
But before she could continue, Sakaki Makoto raised his hand and interrupted:
"Who is Akai Mutake?"
"You don't know him?"
"I don't know him. I've never heard of him."
Sakaki Makoto looked innocent, acting like the naive heroine in some Qiong Yao dramas.
The tone is sincere, the acting is realistic, and there are no flaws.
"....Akai Mutake is Akai Shuichi's father."
Vermouth briefly explained:
"He had a lot of ties with the organization more than a decade ago and was a big enemy of the organization, but he has been dealt with."
"But he's still alive."
"Yes, that's the biggest problem! He's still alive!"
Vermouth's face was extremely solemn, completely different from her usual carefree and calm self. The hand holding the cigarette was shaking slightly:
"He should be dead... He can't be in Tokyo..."
"Vermouth, get to the point."
Gin's cold voice brought Vermouth back to his senses. He took a deep breath and calmed down his nervous mood.
"In short, you just need to know that Akai Tsutomu is a dead man. He knows many secrets of the organization and must not be allowed to live! This is also what the boss meant."
"After discussion, the boss decided that the three of us, Gin, Rum, and I, would be responsible for this incident. We would assist each other and find Akai Tsutomu who is hiding in Tokyo as quickly as possible and...kill him once and for all!"
"Rum is also going to participate in this operation?"
Chianti was surprised:
"Hasn't he always been hiding behind the scenes? Why did he show up for the first time this time?"
“Because it’s a big deal.”
Vermouth said in a deep voice:
"Once the secrets held by Akai Wuwu are made public, it will bring powerful enemies to the organization! Although the boss is ready, now is not the time..."
Not the right time, naturally referring to the unfinished aptx plan.
If the aptx plan is not completed, the boss's wish cannot be realized. An all-out war at this time will do more harm than good.
"I have a question."
Sakaki Makoto pretended to be puzzled and said:
"Assuming that Akai Mutake is not dead and has managed to survive the organization, where has he been all these years and why did he suddenly appear?"
"Secondly, if he showed up, why did he show up next to the Akutagawa family villa?"
"Could this be a trap set by the FBI?"
"It can't be an FBI trap!"
Vermouth denied without hesitation:
"The FBI had no idea what happened back then! I've been in the United States for so many years, so I know some of the inside story."
"As for the question you just raised, the reason why Akai Tsutomu appeared next to the Akutagawa family villa was probably to look for members of the organization. We all agree that the person he is targeting is most likely one of you and Bourbon."
The room suddenly became quiet and no one spoke.
Sakaki Makoto frowned, thinking deeply, pretending to be a thief. Bourbon's expression was similar to his, but not as exaggerated, and he seemed a little calmer.
"How could it be me?"
After a long while, Sakaki Makoto asked:
"I have only been in the organization for a year and have never done anything that might expose my identity. Akai Tsutomu is probably going after Bourbon."
"I don't rule out this possibility, but it's more likely that Akai Tsutomu's target is you!"
Vermouth glanced at Gin, and after getting his consent, said:
"Do you know who was responsible for killing Akai Wuwu?"
"Who is it?"
Grain
"Rum, and your father."
"?"
A red question mark popped up on Sakaki Makoto's forehead, along with... a big exclamation mark.
This time he was not pretending, but was truly surprised.
Mary Akai said that it was Rum who killed her husband, but she never mentioned Ryunosuke Sakaki.
Sakaki Makoto also naturally believed that Sakaki Ryunosuke, who had once teamed up with Akai Mumu, could not be the murderer who killed Akai Mumu.
But Vermouth's conclusion is completely opposite to that of Akai Mary.
"That was 17 years ago. The last mission your father carried out was to kill Akai Tsutomu together with Rum."
Vermouth said:
"According to his and Rum's subsequent reports, it is confirmed that Akai Tsutomu is dead."
The last mission?
Sakaki Makoto suddenly remembered that after the failure of the riot, Sakaki Ryunosuke was forced by the organization to carry out a mysterious mission.
Could it be that... this extremely dangerous and mysterious mission is to kill Akai Tsutomu?
If this is true... Sakaki Makoto suddenly didn't dare to think further.
If Akai Mutake really died at the hands of Sakaki Ryunosuke, then Sakaki Ryunosuke must be one of the biggest enemies of the Akai family!
Mary Akai never mentioned this matter. Did she not know... or did she deliberately hide it?
This is a mortal feud!
What exactly is Akai Mary planning?
"So you understand why the organization unanimously believes that the probability of Akai Tsutomu coming for you is very high."
Vermouth shook his head:
"But we can't figure out why he disappeared for so many years if he didn't die... But this doesn't affect the organization's search for his whereabouts!"
"...Tokyo is so big, with a permanent population of 14 million. Isn't it too difficult to find Akai Tsutomu?"
