Chapter 57 The Death of Morofushi Kagemitsu 3
"Caw caw caw..." In the grove at night, crows made eerie calls, circling and landing on the branches.
On the sticky soil, an ant carries heavy food, meandering around the scattered stones and weeds on the ground.
The poor ant was working diligently when a foot landed on it for no reason.
"Tap tap tap—" The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar.
"There's none over there!" A man dressed in black, carrying a flashlight, shouted in the direction of the flashlight's beam.
“There aren’t any here either!” the man in black on the other side replied.
"Keep searching!"
In the dense forest, in the quiet of the night, the Black Organization searched diligently for Morofushi Kagemitsu's whereabouts.
After the man in black left, a rustling sound came from the leaves of a gnarled tree.
Like a nimble monkey, Morobushi Kagemitsu jumped down from above and, without hesitation, ran straight in the opposite direction from where the man in black had left.
Moribu Kagemitsu knocked away the spider web with his hand and pushed aside the branches blocking his way.
His heavy breathing came in fits and starts; he couldn't let his guard down for a moment and ran with all his might.
He cannot be caught, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain, and all his sacrifices will be for nothing.
As he thought about it, Morofushi Kagemitsu seemed to see Kuroda Hyōe's blood-soaked face and his colleague lying helplessly on the ground, so he increased his speed a few more times.
The moon overhead provided light for Morofushi Kagemitsu to travel, and based on the moon's direction, he quickly found his bearings and headed south.
"Whoosh!" Zhu Fujingguang emerged from a patch of grass like a fish rising from the water and came to an open road.
There seemed to be a small county town here. Morofushi Kagemitsu squinted, pulled up the hood of his hoodie, held a gun in his hand, and slowly walked along the wall of the building.
It's 11 p.m. and the streets are almost deserted, with only a few houses having their lights on.
At the entrance of a dark alley, Morofushi Kagemitsu leaned against the wall, hiding in the blind spot of the Black Organization members.
Once the group of men in black left, Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly crossed the road and disappeared into an alley on the other side of the street.
He nervously surveyed his surroundings, sweating profusely, and as he turned a corner in the alley, lo and behold, he ran into someone he knew.
Shuichi Akai stood there, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He encountered his mission target as soon as he arrived; what a coincidence.
Before he could think any further, a bullet from Morofushi Kagemitsu interrupted his thoughts.
After firing the shot, Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately ran back, and Akai Shuichi reacted just as quickly, taking off after him.
Morofushi Kagemitsu left the alley and turned into another side path, intending to seize the opportunity to shake off Akai Shuichi.
However……
A high wall appeared in front of Morofushi Kagemitsu, blocking his way.
He turned around and saw that Shuichi Akai was already behind him.
At this moment, Morofushi Kagemitsu felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
"Don't move!" Morofushi Kagemitsu raised his pistol and aimed it at Akai Shuichi.
“Scotland, as expected of you, to have survived so long despite the organization’s pursuit.” Shuichi Akai slowly raised his pistol.
Morofushi Kagemitsu did not believe that Akai Shuichi would easily show weakness. As one of Gin's most valued people, Akai must have a backup plan.
There was a tight net outside, and he only had two bullets left in his pistol. In this situation, was there any hope of survival?
“Ahem, Scotland, perhaps you could listen to me for a moment,” Shuichi Akai said soothingly. “We’re the same kind of people!”
"What!"
"I am FBI agent Shuichi Akai, an undercover agent just like you."
"Ha!" Moribushi Kagemitsu's eyes instantly turned into beady ones.
It turns out the Whiskey Trio were all undercover agents! Does that make sense?
Seeing the incredulous look on Morofushi Kagemitsu's face, Akai Shuichi continued, "I can help you."
"if only……"
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground reached their ears, immediately alerting them.
Who is it?
Morofushi Kagemitsu was holding a pistol; he turned his head and his eyes suddenly widened.
In his field of vision, a tall man with long silver hair slowly walked over.
It's Gin! We're doomed!
Despair instantly enveloped Morofushi Kagemitsu. The man took one step after another, each step landing on Morofushi Kagemitsu's wildly beating heart.
Not only is he going to die, but he might also implicate Shuichi Akai!
In an instant, Morofushi Kagemitsu thought of many things. He should have died long ago, so that so many people wouldn't have been hurt. Moreover, once he was dead, no one could pry any information out of him.
With a determined heart and gritted teeth, Morofuk Kagemitsu swiftly pointed the gun at his own heart.
He could die as soon as the trigger was pulled and the bullet pierced his heart.
However, Morofushi Kagemitsu completely underestimated Kurosawa Jin's reaction speed and reaction time.
What is prediction? This is prediction!
Kurosawa Jin ran up to Morofushi Kagemitsu in a few steps, snatched the pistol from him, and dislocated both of his arms.
Fortunately, he arrived quickly, and things hadn't reached the point of no return.
The exposure of the secret hideout's location was undoubtedly the work of Negroni, also known as Number Three.
Therefore, Kurosawa Jin had no choice but to adopt Plan B—the Morofushi Kagemitsu fake death plan.
He abandoned his vodka and sped off, eventually spotting Shuichi Akai and Hiromitsu Morofushi in the alleyway using GPS tracking.
Kurosawa Jin grabbed Morofushi Kagemitsu by the neck and pinned him against the wall, then knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.
Then he let go, and Morofushi Kagemitsu slid down the wall and sat on the ground.
Kurosawa Jin turned around and saw Akai Shuichi standing there, looking extremely obstructive.
Why did Heaven have to arrange for Shuichi Akai to kill Kagemitsu Morofushi? Jin Kurosawa thought to himself.
"Useless thing, can't even catch a mouse," Kurosawa Jin said with dissatisfaction. "If I hadn't come, you would have been dead long ago."
“Give me another chance, and I want to kill Scotland with my own hands,” Shuichi Akai pleaded.
Morofushi Kagemitsu already knows his undercover identity. If Morofushi Kagemitsu falls into Gin's hands, he himself will be in danger.
In order to destroy the organization's grand ideal, Morofushi Kagemitsu has no choice but to die!
"Get out. We don't need trash here. Don't make me say it a second time."
The sound of a bullet being chambered reached Shuichi Akai's ears.
Knowing that he couldn't confront Gin head-on, Shuichi Akai had no choice but to leave.
With the troublesome fellow gone from his sight, Kurosawa Jin could finally put his plan into action.
He knelt down in front of the unconscious Morofushi Kagemitsu and took out the fake death pill that Zhang Tongri had given him in advance from his spatial ring.
Once he takes this pill, Morofushi Kagemitsu will appear to have been poisoned to death, but in reality, he will only be in a state of suspended animation.
If the boss asks, he can simply say that Morofushi Kagemitsu committed suicide by poisoning himself, which is a very easy lie to cover up.
Just as Kurosawa Jin was about to reach out and pry open Morofushi Kagemitsu's mouth, a whistle came from above them.
"Hey, look who's here!"
On the high wall, Number Three, dressed in a black cloak, sat atop it, watching Kurosawa Jin below with great interest, his eyes filled with excitement.
This is troublesome! The Black Swamp Formation's hidden passages are unfavorable; unexpected changes have occurred, and he can only adapt to the situation.
"Should I call you Negroni or Number Three?" Kurosawa Jin stood up, not to be outdone, his aura in no way inferior to his opponent's.
“Either is fine.” Negroni jumped off the high wall, landing on the ground as lightly as a dragonfly skimming the water.
His gaze fell on the pill in Kurosawa Jin's hand. "The Fake Death Pill. Using it to help Morofushi Kagemitsu escape his inevitable death is indeed a good method."
"Zhang Tongri gave it to you?" Negroni leaned closer to Kurosawa Jin, the mole on the corner of his mouth particularly eye-catching.
Kurosawa Jin's hand, holding the gun, was itching to strike. If this weapon hadn't been incapable of killing Negroni, Negroni would have been killed long ago.
"I hate beating around the bush. What's your purpose?" Kurosawa Jin didn't waste any more words with the other party.
"Tsk, this is boring!"
Negroni feigned displeasure, took out his phone, and showed the information on it to Kurosawa Jin.
That was the order given to Negroni by the BOSS.
“I will film the entire process of how you kill Morofushi Kagemitsu and sync it to the BOSS in real time,” Negroni said with a malicious smile.
"Your every move will be exposed to the BOSS. Get ready for your performance, Kurosawa Jin, be careful not to give yourself away!"
After saying that, Negroni snapped his fingers while raising his phone to record a video.
The snap of his fingers seemed to have magic; Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had been unconscious, opened his eyes in a daze, and his dislocated arms were miraculously reattached.
In this situation, it's impossible to use the fake death pill.
With Negroni's real-time recordings, Kurosawa Jin's every move will be seen by the BOSS.
He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and met Morofushi Kagemitsu's eyes, instantly getting into character.
"Tell me, who notified you to escape in advance?" Kurosawa Jin pressed a gun against Morofushi Kagemitsu's head.
"Ha, you won't get any information from me!"
"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!" Morofushi Kagemitsu said viciously to Kurosawa Jin.
His left hand stealthily reached for the grenade in his pocket, and Kuroda Hyoue's words echoed in his ears, "Don't use it unless absolutely necessary."
Looks like it's time to use it! Looking at the other person's face, which was almost exactly the same as Kurosawa's, Morofushi Kagemitsu inexplicably thought of Kurosawa's death.
Perhaps before he dies, he can still get some information out of Gin and learn the truth about what happened back then, so he can die in peace.
"Scotland, you should know the organization's methods. You're being stubborn now, but you'll regret it later."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fujingguang pretended to be deep in thought and lowered his head.
A minute later, Morofushi Kagemitsu looked into Kurosawa Jin's fierce eyes and said, "I can tell you, but I have one condition."
"I want to know how Japanese policeman Jin Kurosawa died four years ago?"
Kurosawa Jin's heart skipped a beat. Although he was glad that Kagemitsu still cared about him, now was not the time to ask that question.
“You have no right to negotiate!” he said coldly.
However, Negroni, that troublemaker, held up his recording phone and shoved the lens right in Kurosawa Jin's face.
"Oh, Gin, what's there to be embarrassed about telling people? You killed that person with your own hands!"
Negroni made it very clear that Morofushi Kagemitsu could basically conclude that Gin was the culprit.
[Warning! Warning! Morofushi Kagemitsu's approval rating is rapidly declining. Please restore your image as soon as possible.]
[Kurosawa Jin: How am I supposed to salvage this?!]
Kurosawa Jin looked at Morofushi Kagemitsu, whose eyes seemed to want to kill him, and thought to himself how to pulverize Negroni.
The boss must have seen the report on that incident back then. Kurosawa Jin couldn't lie to the boss, so he had to keep up the act.
"Yes, I killed that person," Kurosawa Jin said nonchalantly. "That guy didn't deserve to have a face like mine!"
Morofushi Kagemitsu was burning with rage and could not control his emotions at all. It turned out that the murderer had been by his side all along, but he just didn't know it.
I can go down and see Kurosawa-nii soon! I can't go to see him empty-handed!
"I see." Morofushi Kagemitsu stood up, leaning against the wall. "Keeping my promise, I'll tell you who tipped me off."
“It’s you! Gin! It’s you!” Morofushi Kagemitsu pointed at Kurosawa Jin.
"Nonsense! Scotland, you're asking for it!"
"Yes, I'm courting death! Gin, come to hell with me!" Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly pulled the pin on the grenade without any hesitation.
"Bang—"
A violent explosion resounded through the dark night sky.
Who gave him the grenade! This was Kurosawa Jin's last thought before losing consciousness.
