Chapter 125, Thirty-Three Weeks (3)
November 7th, 6 PM.
Ray, who had been badly tricked by Bourbon and was still cleaning up a troublesome mission, received another urging email from Gin.
"Tsk, what kind of urgent task is this? Didn't I just urge them before?" Lei opened the email impatiently.
Forget about the mission in the UK; the organization will send someone else to handle it. You should fly back immediately.
Scotland has been arrested and taken to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Bourbon, ignoring warnings, has infiltrated the department to rescue him. You'll have to deal with your partner yourself.
——GIN】
Lei: "..."
Lei: "???"
What?
The Scottish guy got arrested??
Bourbon stormed the police station to save Scotland?
Ray nearly dropped the cigarette he was holding. He turned and fired a shot at the pursuer before running far away again. Then he picked up his phone and frantically poked Gin, demanding an explanation.
Gin was in a terrible mood and not in the mood to explain properly, so the long explanation he received was obviously written by Vodka.
Initially, it was an undercover agent that Rum had planted in the Metropolitan Police Department who sent him intelligence, which showed that Scotland was an undercover agent in the Metropolitan Police Department codenamed Black Cat.
Lei: "..."
So that's how it is. So the reason we urged him to go back was to deal with the undercover agent in Scotland and to test his loyalty.
What happened next? Lei continued scrolling down.
Then, Rum immediately began investigating Scotland and Bourbon's location, but before they could set a trap to capture and interrogate Scotland, the police arrested him first.
The charge was illegally carrying a dangerous weapon.
Yes, he was walking home when he was accidentally caught up in a fight, and then a sharp-eyed policeman discovered that Beth had a sniper rifle hidden in his bag.
Lei: "..."
Wait a minute, so this situation means that a police officer was arrested and taken to the station by unsuspecting colleagues while undercover?
But if that's the case, then the organization and Bourbon's attitudes don't seem right either. Ray's finger continued to slide down.
Sure enough, the turning point came soon.
The undercover agent who previously sent information to Rum sent another message before completely losing contact, saying that he had been tricked and that the information that Scotland was an undercover agent was false information fabricated by the Metropolitan Police Department. Sakura had already suspected his undercover identity.
The reason Sakura and the police set up this scheme was so that when Rum began to anxiously investigate Scotland and Bourbon's location and start the organization's members to prepare to arrest Scotland, Sakura would find Scotland's location in advance, let the police find a pretext to arrest him, and then lure Bourbon into the trap.
Killing two birds with one stone, and also taking care of the undercover agents in the Metropolitan Police Department—it's perfect.
Lei: "..."
So now the BOSS is very angry and reprimands Rum, telling him to at least get Bourbon out of there as soon as possible. Rum, in a fit of rage, orders someone to rescue Bourbon Scotland.
Gin was also annoyed and eventually dumped the troublesome task on Rae, saying, "Your partner should handle this yourself."
Lei's face was full of speechlessness. It took him a while to sort out all the twists and turns that had happened in less than half a day before he boarded a plane to Tokyo.
However, the fact that Bourbon was willing to infiltrate the police station to rescue people suggests that he actually had a real connection with Scotland.
Or is it simply a battle of wills between Bourbon and Sakura?
Lei couldn't be sure for the time being and could only wait until he got back to see how things went.

November 7th, 9 PM.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Kenji Hagiwara walked in carrying a bowl of pork cutlet rice, placing the generous bowl in front of Kagemitsu Morofushi with an incredibly bright smile on his face.
"Please use it, Mr. Midorikawa Hikaru."
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."
Hagiwara, your gloating smile is a bit too exaggerated. Try to tone it down a bit.
"Oh dear, is it inconvenient to eat with handcuffs on?" Kenji Hagiwara sat in the chair opposite him, cupping his face in his hands and laughing happily. "But there's nothing we can do. Mr. Midorikawa can't explain the origin of that sniper rifle, so we dare not remove your handcuffs."
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked down at the silver handcuffs that Hagiwara Kenji had personally put on his wrists, then at the pork chop rice that the police station had prepared for prisoners, and deeply suspected that this was intentionally done by his malicious friend.
However, this plan is indeed reckless and audacious, yet it is full of unknown possibilities, and perhaps it really has the potential to break through the current predicament.
Therefore, Morofushi Kagemitsu was actually in a pretty good mood. He smiled helplessly and innocently at Date Wataru, who had come in with him, and replied, "That was really an accident. I don't know whose sniper rifle it was. I'm just an ordinary band member. I guess someone wanted to frame me, so they put a sniper rifle in my bag."
After saying that, he naturally raised his hands and placed them on the table to begin eating the pork chop rice.
Ida Kou stood at the door, marveling at his acting skills.
Kenji Hagiwara thoroughly enjoyed acting with him, and continued the interrogation drama between the police and the criminal with equal charisma, raising an eyebrow and saying, "So, Mr. Midorikawa, why didn't your other two bandmates come forward to vouch for your bail?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu's smile was flawless: "I don't know either. I can't get through on the phone. They're probably busy with something."

When Rum first learned that Scotland had been arrested by the police due to an accident, his first thought was to have Bourbon use his status as a band member to prove Scotland's innocence and get him released.
This request almost ruined Bourbon's life.
If Bourbon were to openly and legitimately go to the police station to find Scotland under the identity of Amuro Tooru, he would definitely be arrested and locked up along with him on some pretext.
Bourbon initially didn't realize it was Sakura's conspiracy and trap, but after the incident, he habitually collected, organized, and deduced all the information. He keenly sensed that something was wrong, so instead of openly picking up Midorikawa Hikaru, he chose to infiltrate the police station to investigate the information first.
Then, the undercover agent's last intelligence and Bourbon's intelligence that something was wrong and it was a trap were transmitted to Rum at about the same time, which allowed the whole truth to come to light.
This is also one of the main reasons why the BOSS was angry and reprimanded Rum.
Because of his impatience, he almost got Bourbon arrested as well.
However, things aren't much better now. Bourbon got even angrier after discovering that Sakura had intervened. Even when the boss asked him to give up Scotland and go back, he refused. He insisted on confronting Sakura head-on to rescue Scotland.
Vodka was deeply moved by this.
"I never imagined that Bourbon... would actually develop genuine feelings for Scotland?"
Everyone knows that if they really have to give up on rescuing Scotland, then with Cherry Blossom watching them like a hawk, the organization will have no choice but to find an opportunity to kill Scotland to silence him and prevent him from leaking the organization's intelligence.
Fortunately, it was only Scotland.
If Bourbon, who possesses information far more valuable than gold, were captured, the organization would mobilize all its personnel to rescue him or kill him to silence him.
Because only Scotland was arrested, Bourbon still had a chance to slowly try to rescue the people.
But this incident had a significant impact. Not only Ray, but even Vermouth came back to watch the show, and even provided Bourbon with a more perfect disguise.
The police seemed to realize they had discovered the trap and couldn't catch Bourbon, so they quickly transferred Scotland to a more heavily guarded prison, making it really difficult to see him now.
This prompted the organization to launch an assassination plan.
Since we can't save him, let's kill him.
Only Bourbon and Rye are still insisting on saving Scotland.
December 5th, 4 AM.
Having dealt with the seventh person this month who came to assassinate Hikaru Midorikawa, Wataru Date could only sigh.
How did that organization manage to find so many fearless individuals to infiltrate the police force and assassinate Zhu Fu? He had been staking out the area for days and finally caught the second person.
Fortunately, they managed to conduct a joint search with the police by using various methods and working with Furuya. Otherwise, given the police's own defenses, they would have let at least three people in. Seriously.
"I should be able to rest for a day or two after today's event. I'll go back and rest for a day; I'm a bit exhausted. I need to be prepared for the final battle in two days." Date Wataru extended his hand to Hagiwara Kenji. "I'll leave the rest to you."
“Leave it to me, class monitor.” Kenji Hagiwara smiled and gave him a high five. “It’s okay. We can call Jinpei over now. We’ll definitely protect Mr. Midorikawa.”
Matsuda Jinpei returned to the bombing squad after the bombing incident. His situation was also quite complicated, so it was a bit difficult for him to participate in this case. He persisted in applying for almost a month before he was able to join the case before December 7th.
They were increasingly convinced that they could succeed this time.
However, fifteen minutes later, Kenji Hagiwara received a phone call.
That's the junior that Date Wataru is mentoring; his name is Takagi Wataru.
The young man was crying, his voice trembling violently.
“Mr. Ida… was in a car accident…” he said.
Hagiwara Kenji was stunned.

Ray turned to look at the blond youth who had suddenly stopped, and asked in confusion, "Bourbon, what's wrong?"
The blond youth lowered his head, his expression obscured in the darkness.
"It's nothing," he said.
Although he could clearly sense that something was wrong with Bourbon, he kept a cold face and focused on operating his phone, and Ray didn't intend to ask any questions that might upset him.
Bourbon's mood has been really bad lately because of Scotland and the cherry blossoms, so it's best not to provoke him.
Ray continued upstairs with his guitar bag on his back, while Bourbon silently followed behind, his face grim as he stared intently at his phone screen, seemingly oblivious to what message he had received.
Three minutes later, Lei was the first to climb to the rooftop, walk to the edge of the rooftop, and take out the sniper rifle to assemble it.
"Bang--"
The man with long black hair suddenly turned around, his wide green eyes slowly reflecting the bloodied figure of the blond youth.
You are dead.
