Life in a bookstore is peaceful and leisurely, like a simple meal. After completing the tasks assigned to you by the organization, you will continue to slowly dig into the core system of the organization.
After Igarashi reminded you, you began to pay attention to the difference between Fenjiu and HLJ. Of course, you did not change your habits drastically at the beginning, so as not to be discovered to be wrong. You made changes little by little, and although they were minor, you were able to see the difference between HLJ and Fenjiu.
In addition, you also secretly made several arrangements with Igarashi to carry out battles with HLJ, played by Igarashi, in the name of Fenjiu.
In this way, even if the organization finds out something wrong in the early stage and comes to settle accounts with you, you will have reasons and evidence to defend yourself.
Since you and Toru Amuro became good teammates, he rarely came to you for help to look up information, which made you feel a little uncomfortable, so you couldn't help but ask: [Is there anything you don't need my help to look up? ]
Toru Amuro replied to your message quickly: [You must be very busy. There are people in charge of this in the public security department, and there are also people in the organization. ]
Oh...it turns out there are people specifically responsible for each side.
You exhale, pause for a second, and quickly type on the keyboard: [Wait, since there are dedicated people responsible, why did you always send me information in the middle of the night for me to check? ]
The other party didn’t reply to the message for a long time.
One minute later: […You are very capable. Those times were when the nearby police were on a mission. If you were left alone, there was a certain chance that they would be able to track down their whereabouts.]
You: “…” Okay, I understand.
So now that I have become a friend, there is no need for any additional interference or staring at me.
At the end of the chat, Toru Amuro gave you one last reply: [Be careful, the organization seems to be keeping an eye on you. ]
“……!” You widened your eyes.
After a pause, you type back: [Okay. I'll keep an eye on it.]
Apart from these, in your spare time, you will just stare at Igarashi's strange string of codes.
However, you have almost stared out a flower, but still have no clue.
Igarashi's mother doesn't know how to use computers... Then how could she come up with something so difficult to solve? You rub your forehead with a headache.
And if the intention was to let the other party solve it, it shouldn't be too difficult. Is there something wrong with my understanding?
But Kuroba Kaito saw your expression and came forward curiously: "Hey? What is this, a code?"
With the idea of giving it a try, you show the code on the screen to Kuroba Kaito: "I guess... Any idea?"
"Ah..." Hei Yu Kaidou was slightly stunned, frowning, "I feel a little confused."
“Is that so?” You shrugged helplessly. “I have no idea what the code is.”
"Code?" Kuroba Kaito tilted his head. "I thought it was some kind of corresponding password book or something."
"Why?"
Kuroba Kaito pointed at the screen and said, "These numbers mixed with Roman or English, I thought they were a passage from a code book or something."
"......!" You were stunned at first, and then seemed to have an epiphany!
...That's right! When Igarashi Fumizumi's mother told me the last thing, she didn't say it was a computer code! She just said to unlock it.
The impression of code is the subconscious understanding of Igarashi, who is proficient in computers, and myself. But in fact, this may not be the case.
If this is the case, it fits with the image of Igarashi's mother who doesn't know computers.
"Thank you, Kuaidou!" You patted the other person's shoulder with a little excitement.
"Ah...?" Hei Yu Kaito scratched his head, "Actually, I didn't do anything..."
"Then I'm going to school. I'll come back to borrow books after school this afternoon." The boy with sapphire blue eyes smiled and waved to you, then left the bookstore holding his schoolbag.
Saying goodbye to Kuaidou, you tap the keyboard to send a message to Igarashi Fumizumi.
[That may not be computer code, but just a simple code. Did your mother leave you anything else? Like a book or a small notebook.]
After a few seconds' pause, you sent another one.
[Or...is there anything that your mother often told you about when she was alive, or something that left a deep impression on you?]
Igarashi Bunzumi did not reply to you immediately.
The other person must be very busy, right? You put away your phone.
It wasn't until late afternoon that he replied to you, and his words were very simple.
【Okay. Thank you.】
So is it right or wrong? Has it been solved? You blinked and looked at the other person's reply. However, these few simple words could not reveal more information.
However, this is also a privacy issue for the other party, and you certainly cannot take the initiative to bring it up and ask about it.
never mind.
"Dingling——"
The wind chime at the door suddenly rang, and you subconsciously turned off your phone and looked up.
The sun was setting, and the sunlight was shining from the side, so that the people at the door were in the backlight. The man with black curly hair had slightly exposed sharp shark teeth, and beside him was the killer in a top hat with smooth silver long hair.
A gloomy and solemn shadow stretched across the ground.
——It’s Kitagawa Makashi and Gin.
You recognized them at a glance, your pupils shrank slightly, but your expression remained calm: "Do you have a mission?" you asked proactively.
"..." Gin snorted coldly, but didn't say anything. He stepped in. Kitagawa Maku followed closely behind him.
The corner of Gin's black windbreaker drew an arc in the air, and Kitagawa Maaki's right hand was always in his pocket.
I always feel that the person coming has bad intentions... Your sixth sense of crisis makes you hold your phone tightly.
The leather shoes stepped on the ground, making only a slight sound. The silver-haired man stopped a few steps away from you, staring at you with his dark green wolf eyes: "...The organization is investigating the rats inside."
A cold and hard pressure was spreading.
"..." Your lowered hands curled up slightly, and you still had a faint smile on your face, "So does the organization need me to do anything?"
"You explained before that you knew HLJ but were not familiar with him and had only worked together once." Gin said in a deep voice, "But the comparison between you and that guy shows that you are 90% similar!"
"Are you the same person, Fenjiu?" Although it was a question, it was spoken with an unquestionable tone.
A knife-like scrutiny fell on you. You suppressed your panic and narrowed your eyes: "As a hacker, learning from your opponents is a smart move. You can't confuse me with that guy based on this."
"Is this an insult to me?"
The silver-haired man sneered and didn't seem to believe you: "If you want to explain, wait until you get to the organization. I hope that by then... you can still maintain this look." He raised the corner of his mouth.
"Directly arrest the members of the organization? I can refuse without proper evidence." You still stand there.
Kitagawa Makoto, who had been silent all this time, finally raised his head. His dark red eyes stared at you: "Master is in charge of watching over you, so you'd better not do anything small." His sharp shark teeth carried a sense of oppression.
You heard the click of Gin's Burletta loaded in your pocket.
Facing these two people... it seems useless to explain, but you are indeed trying to delay time as much as possible in order to -
"Boss...?" The black-haired high school student at the door looked at the bookstore in confusion.
Members of the organization will choose to hide from ordinary people unless necessary.
So at this moment both of them fell silent.
You put on a smile and said, "Kaidou, do you want to borrow a book? I've prepared it for you." You took out a book from under the counter and handed it to Kuroba Kaidou. "I have something to do today. You can take it and go home to read it."
"Eh...?" Kuroba Kaito looked down at the cover of the book, confused for a moment, but when he saw your expression as you turned your back to the two people behind you, he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, boss. I'll be leaving now. Bye."
Hei Yu Kaidou turned and left. As you watched him walk away, your tense heart relaxed a little.
You know Kuaidou understands what you mean and will definitely find the paper tucked inside the book.
That was the second resort you had prepared just in case something like this happened.
——I hope the other party can contact the police smoothly according to what you said.
"Let's go, Fenjiu." The threatening words rang in your ears, the barrel of the gun was against your waist, and you didn't turn around.
"Okay... I'll go with you then." You replied.
