Chapter 62 First Appearance of the Disguise
As night falls, the brightly lit skyscrapers, neatly arranged streetlights, and rapidly moving car headlights paint the urban night scene with a dazzling brilliance.
At this time, most people have already gone home from get off work, but inside Mihana Hospital, there are still some doctors and nurses busy treating patients and saving lives.
In the parking lot of Beika Hospital, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards the building without saying a word.
Not long ago, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda were preparing to go home after get off work as usual when they unexpectedly heard the news that Wataru Date had been in a car accident. So they stepped on the gas and the two of them rushed to Beika Hospital.
"Hagiwara, Matsuda, I'm here." Date Wataru stood at the entrance of the outpatient building, waving at the two figures rushing towards him.
"Squad leader!" Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda were out of breath from running, and as soon as they stopped, they hurriedly checked each other's injuries.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Kenji Hagiwara looked the burly man across from him up and down.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Ida Kou spread his arms and spun around counterclockwise to show that he was healthy.
Upon seeing Date Wataru intact, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda both breathed a sigh of relief; the events of the past few years had almost given them PTSD.
They were terrified, afraid of seeing their companion's corpse again.
Two or three years had passed since they received the videotape. On the day they learned of their former friend's death, they went to the Kurosawa Group to question Naoto Hideaki, only to be told, "I lied to you all to protect your safety. The organization is not something you can handle."
The energetic young people could not accept such an excuse, and they directed almost all their hatred at Gin.
Driven by passion, they continued their investigation into the Black Organization, but at every crucial moment, members of the Kurosawa Group or the Public Security Bureau would appear to stop them and warn them, forcing them to suspend their operations until now.
"What brings you here?" Date Wataru asked, a toothpick dangling from his mouth, hands on his hips as he looked at the two men.
“We heard from the village that you were in a car accident, so we came here.”
Matsuda Jinpei, standing to the side, clenched his fist and said, "That damned Murakami, spreading false information. Just wait until I get back, I'll deal with him."
"Haha, Murakami is right." Date Wataru grinned, showing his big teeth, and laughed without taking it seriously. "I didn't even notice that car at the time. If someone hadn't saved me, I'd probably be lying in a hospital bed by now."
"Baka! How can you still laugh!" Matsuda Jinpei punched Date Wataru hard on the shoulder when he saw his expression.
"Ouch—" Date Wataru cried out, clutching his arm. "Matsuda, at least hold back a little, it really hurts."
"Who told you to be so heartless, class monitor? Jinpei and I were really worried about you," Hagiwara Kenji said irritably.
"Okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time." Date Wataru touched his buzz cut and chuckled, which made Matsuda Jinpei unable to resist punching him again.
"By the way, what about that kind person? How is he?" Kenji Hagiwara asked curiously, remembering the person who saved him that Wataru Date had mentioned.
"He's inside, but he should be out soon." Ida Wataru turned around and looked at the elevator on the side of the hospital lobby.
Sure enough, when the elevator display screen showed the Arabic numeral "1", the elevator doors opened, and Takagi Toru pushed the person in the wheelchair out.
"Are you sure you don't want to be hospitalized, Mr. Gu Ze?" Gao Mu asked as he pushed the wheelchair.
"No, I'm not going to be hospitalized. There's no freedom at all in the hospital, and the food isn't good either," Gu Ze complained, crossing his arms.
As they spoke, they arrived in front of Date Hang and his two companions.
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda glanced over and saw a baby-faced young man sitting in a wheelchair. He looked to be no more than nineteen or twenty years old, with short, dark brown hair and large, dark almond-shaped eyes that were hard to look away from.
The young man's right leg was immobilized in a cast, and he had abrasions on the right side of his face. He was thin and small, and he looked pitiful sitting in a large wheelchair.
"How are you feeling, Mr. Gu Ze?" Date Kou stepped forward to take Takagi's place and pushed the wheelchair.
"Not good, it still hurts." Perhaps due to the pain from his injury, Gu Ze's face was devoid of a smile. He looked at Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda standing there, "And who are these two?"
“My colleagues, this is Matsuda Jinpei, and this is Hagiwara Kenji,” Date Wataru introduced them one by one. “Hagiwara, Matsuda, this is my savior, Gu Ze.”
"Hello, hello." Kenji Hagiwara greeted him warmly, "Is Mr. Gu Ze Chinese?"
“My mother is Chinese and my father is Japanese,” Gu Ze, also known as Kurosawa Jin, said, according to his pseudonym.
After several years of hard work, Kurosawa Jin is back to boost his reputation. This time, he started over with a new account, and he was very experienced. He rescued "Date" with a hero move and perfectly entered the story.
They chatted and thanked Gu Ze, who listened to Xiao C's report with satisfaction.
[Ding! It has been detected that the soul of the character "Gu Ze" is the same as the user's soul. The system will merge the recognition value of the character "Gu Ze" with the user's recognition value.]
Current approval value:
Hagihara Ken 2:5
Matsuda Jinpei: 5
Date Aircraft: 10]
The black party approval value module of Xiao C was uninstalled by Gu Gu two years ago, and Xiao C now has no difference from restoring factory settings.
"Hagiwara, Matsuda, are you free? Takagi and I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department to handle a case report, so we'll have to ask you to take Mr. Gu Ze home," Date Wataru said.
“No problem at all.” Kenji Hagiwara gave an “OK” sign.
“Leave it to us.” Matsuda Jinpei took the handle of the wheelchair.
With the consent of Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, Wataru Date said to Gu Ze with peace of mind, "Until your leg is healed, you can call me if you need anything. I will take responsibility."
After saying that, he left the hospital with Takagi, leaving Gu Ze and the other two behind.
"Let's go too." Matsuda Jinpei pushed the wheelchair ahead.
A short while later, the three arrived at a Mazda in the parking lot of Beika Hospital. Kenji Hagiwara helped Gu Ze into the back seat, while Jinpei Matsuda got into the driver's seat.
"Where does Mr. Gu Ze live?" Matsuda Jinpei fastened his seatbelt and started the car.
"Wait a minute, I forgot something." Gu Ze took out his phone and opened the notes app. "In Beikacho 2-chome..."
At this moment, Kenji Hagiwara, who had settled into his wheelchair, sat in the passenger seat and, upon hearing Gu Ze's words, asked, "Mr. Gu Ze, have you just moved to a new house?"
"Pretty much. I just arrived in Japan yesterday. I lived in China before." Gu Ze put away his phone. "I came to Japan to study at university."
As the car drove along the road, Gu Ze turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
"Go to university? Which university?" Matsuda Jinpei, who was driving, asked casually.
"University of Tokyo".
The traffic light turned red in an instant, and Matsuda Jinpei stepped on the brakes, stopping the car in front of the stop line.
“Oh, it’s the University of Tokyo.” Kenji Hagiwara said casually, gazing at the pedestrians outside the window. “We have a friend who also graduated from the University of Tokyo…”
Upon hearing Kenji Hagiwara's words, Jinpei Matsuda suddenly fell silent.
"..." Gu Ze opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Of course he knew who Hagiwara Kenji was talking about, which was his true form, Kurosawa Jin.
If he were to foolishly say he wanted to get to know this person now, it would definitely make the atmosphere in the car very awkward.
"Hmm, that's quite a coincidence," Gu Ze said, then changed the subject.
Thus, the three chatted about this and that along the way, and finally arrived in front of a villa. During this time, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda each gained 2 points of approval.
When the group stood in the dark entrance hall of the villa, Matsuda Jinpei couldn't hold back any longer and said with a look that said, "I'm going to fight you rich people," "You live alone, don't your parents live with you?"
Gu Ze silently turned on the lights, and the entire hall was instantly illuminated, revealing its magnificent interior decorations.
His bangs covered his eyes as he said calmly, "They died in a car accident a few months ago."
Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji:...
Without a doubt, Matsuda Jinpei received a beautiful elbow strike from Hagiwara Kenji.
"I'm sorry, please accept my condolences," Kenji Hagiwara added. "If you need help, please contact us."
"Thanks."
His parents died young, he inherited a huge fortune, his house was empty, and he was in a wheelchair...
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda looked at Gu Ze with increasing pity.
[Ding! We have detected a change in Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji's impressions of you.]
Both of them have now reached a approval rating of 10.
From an angle unseen by them, Gu Ze curled the corners of his mouth, only to revert to his usual expression a second later.
If anyone were to ask what it feels like to use an alternate account, then Kurosawa Jin would certainly have a lot to say about it.
Kurosawa Jin: It feels very strange, like having two windows open on a computer screen, allowing me to monitor the dynamics on both sides at the same time.
While Gu Ze's alternate identity is talking to the red team character, in the other hemisphere, in the beautiful country, the real Kurosawa Jin is in a tense and exciting standoff with Akai Shuichi.
Beside the containers at the dock, Kurosawa Jin and Akai Shuichi pointed guns at each other's heads.
If the neon lights are still the deep twilight, then America is in the soft light of dawn, with a light mist spreading over the port at dawn, hazy but not enough to completely obscure the view.
“Ray, I really didn’t expect you to be an undercover agent.” Kurosawa Jin revealed a cold smile, staring intently at Akai Shuichi.
A few months ago, Shuichi Akai's undercover identity was exposed, and this plot was unavoidable. So Jin Kurosawa embarked on a journey to hunt down Shuichi Akai all over the world.
“Now you know.” Shuichi Akai’s aura was in no way inferior to Jin Kurosawa’s.
"If we both fire at the same time, who do you think will die first?"
"We'll find out after we fire." Shuichi Akai slightly pulled the trigger.
Kurosawa Jin chuckled. Since he couldn't kill Akai Shuichi anyway, he might as well earn some recognition points.
“Ray, do you remember someone? His name is Jack Jones.”
Unsure of what Gin was up to, Shuichi Akai decided to remain silent for the time being. His brain began to work, searching for the name, and soon he remembered the person he had met at a beach hotel in Florida that year.
Not yet an FBI agent, he stumbled upon Jack Jones meeting with his subordinate. He even borrowed a light from the man, smoked, and chatted with him. In the end, he almost shot down the rope ladder the man was using to escape.
Could Jack Jones and that heavily disguised subordinate be members of the organization? But he'd never seen anyone like that in the organization!
“Jack Jones was me in disguise; that was our first meeting, Ray.” Kurosawa answered the question on the other’s mind.
What?! It's him! Shuichi Akai's eyes widened visibly.
"You knew it from the beginning!"
He quickly realized that Gin knew from the beginning that Dai Moroboshi's identity was questionable, which explained why he had been targeting him.
Why didn't Gin report this to the organization, but instead let him go undercover? This doesn't make sense, it's not like Gin at all!
Wait a minute, what about that mysterious subordinate? Shuichi Akai has been working for Gin for so long, and he's never seen this person before.
Masaka! A terrifying thought flashed through Shuichi Akai's mind.
Gin is an undercover agent!
Shuichi Akai felt like he was going crazy. How could he have such a thought!
"Hahahaha—" Kurosawa Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter as he saw Akai Shuichi's expression constantly changing. He suppressed his murderous aura and lowered his gun.
"This is so much fun, hahaha!" Kurosawa Jin opened the magazine on his gun and showed it to Akai Hideaki. "It's empty."
"You! Huh?" Shuichi Akai, having received confirmation, felt as if the world had become surreal.
Shuichi Akai: No, buddy, you really are an undercover agent!
[Ding! It has been detected that the user's impression of the red team character, Shuichi Akai, is trending towards positive. The character's approval rating has changed from negative to positive.]
Shuichi Akai's approval rating is 50.
"Let me introduce myself." Kurosawa Jin extended a hand. "Kurosawa Jin, an undercover agent for the Japanese Public Security Bureau."
