Chapter 59: New Year's Eve in the Temple 4
When approaching the guest room, Akiyama Kanade put Haibara Ai on the ground.
"I almost forgot about this. This is for you."
"This is..." Huihara Ai took a pendant from his hand, "Sister...?"
The emerald blue eyes dilated slightly due to extreme shock.
This was a gift she gave to her sister on her birthday last year. Her sister was very happy and put it on her neck right away. How did it end up in the Blue Curacao? Could it be that -
"Hmph..." Akiyama Kanade squatted down and touched her head. The black-haired man looked gentle, "Don't make it public. Don't let anyone know except yourself... She is fine, but now is not the time for you to meet."
After Blue Orange Wine disappeared three years ago, Akiyama Kanade still kept an eye on Shirley. Miyano Akemi was her elder sister, so he also paid attention to her.
When Mingmei took on the task of a 1 billion yen robbery, he quickly got the news.
Because the elder sister has always been on the periphery of the organization, she does not have a deep understanding of this huge monster, and she thinks that as long as she completes the mission, she can really take her younger sister away.
Akiyama Kanade did not show up to remind her, but chose to take advantage of the situation.
Miyano Akemi is a different person from Shirley. Her life environment is relatively simple, so her thoughts tend to be optimistic and naive. Even if he can stop her this time, there is no guarantee that there will be no next time.
So it would be better to solve the problem once and for all and let the organization think that Miyano Akemi died at the hands of Gin.
In fact, the person who finally went to see Gin was Akiyama Kanade's backup body. As for Akemi, he temporarily sent her to the Rabbit Country, where the organization was the weakest.
He wanted to find an opportunity to tell Shirley about this so that she wouldn't worry, but he soon received news that Shirley had gone missing from the institute.
Not even Shadow could find out where she went.
Of course, most people would never imagine that there is such a thing as "rejuvenation" in the world.
…These words are so outrageous, why are people still atheists?
This is unscientific!
Huihara Ai buried her head in the black-haired man's arms. Akiyama Kanade patted her back gently and felt her shoulders and neck trembling slightly. He sighed and said softly, "Okay, it's okay."
He thought of his sister, whose face was now blurred. When she was sad, would anyone hug her?
He couldn't help but tighten his arms.
"It's late, go to bed, we'll talk about the rest next time." After the little girl calmed down, Akiyama Kanade saw Haibara Ai back to the guest room. Mao Lilan was worried about her and came out to look for her. She bumped into the two of them and saw Haibara Ai's red eyes. She squatted down with a worried look on her face and comforted her.
The brown-haired girl turned her head to look at the thin white figure not far away. He was so handsome that he looked like a painting wherever he stood, but there was a hint of worry between his brows that could not be concealed.
"Be careful," she whispered.
This is destined to be a sleepless night.
Akiyama Kanade saw Bourbon waiting at the door of his bedroom.
"Welcome back, I thought you had run away because you were scared..." The blond young man was wearing a black coat, standing straight. He lifted his hair, and tiny strands of gold fell from his fingers.
He had a smile on his face, as he always did, but it was devoid of warmth.
Akiyama Kanade once again clearly felt Bourbon's extreme dislike for blue curaçao.
Although he knew that Bourbon would be responsible for luring the Blue Curacao wine into the trap tonight, he had not discussed the specific details with Amoruso, so Akiyama Kanade naturally had no way of knowing.
Akiyama Kanade was actually a little surprised that Bourbon would appear at his door, because Matsuda Jinpei lived next door to him and any movement could wake him up.
However, alarming the police was not in keeping with the organization's low-key style.
Akiyama Kanade suddenly realized something, rushed up the stairs and pushed open Matsuda Jinpei's door.
It was completely empty.
His expression suddenly turned very ugly.
Bourbon smiled behind him, playing with a pair of familiar sunglasses between his fingers.
"Are you looking for him?"
Akiyama closed his eyes.
Too.
There is no better bait for blue curacao fishing than Matsuda Jinpei.
"…What did you do to him?" His voice was cold and hard.
"You really think highly of him..." Bourbon's tone was a little complicated for some reason. "If you want to save him, you can still save him by rushing to the forest behind the mountain. You know how much Amoruso hates you. He must be very happy to see you in pain."
This is a conspiracy against Blue Curacao.
Akiyama Kanade rushed to the woods behind the mountain and pressed the public security emergency notification button on the way. At the same time, he reported the situation here to Sakumichi Naoto by phone.
What surprised him was that Zuo Daozhiren's tone was not panic at all, as if he had been prepared.
Akiyama Kanade knew him quite well. The little policeman liked to show his emotions on his face, whether three years ago or now, and he couldn't be so stable.
Did the police know about Amoruso's actions tonight?
It's not impossible.
Amoruso brought several outsiders to ambush this time. There might be undercover police officers among them... No, that doesn't make sense. These people were notified by Amoruso at short notice and they went out to act immediately. There was no time for any leaks during the process.
Moreover, even if these outsiders could contact the police, they would not know any intelligence until they arrived at their destination.
This is not the only strange thing.
According to Bourbon's previous words, Matsuda Jinpei should be in Amoruso's hands at this time, but in fact Amoruso just led his men to ambush in the woods, waiting for Bourbon's signal, and he had never met Matsuda Jinpei.
Besides, it only took Akiyama Kanade only ten minutes to send Haibara Ai back to her room. Unless Bourbon attacked by surprise and succeeded in one strike, he could not have subdued Matsuda Jinpei in such a short time. Because Officer Matsuda was a particularly outstanding one even among the police, and he was not someone who could be dealt with casually.
Then there is another possibility.
Bourbon may not have captured Matsuda Jinpei, but somehow managed to get him out of the room temporarily. He then took Matsuda Jinpei's sunglasses to make it look like he was captured.
But he confirmed that the sunglasses were indeed those of Jinpei Matsuda... Officer Matsuda treasured his sunglasses so much, how did Bourbon get them?
Akiyama Kanade had a guess. Although this guess was a little unbelievable, it made sense now.
Bourbon is actually an undercover police officer.
It was he who tipped off the police and reported Amoruso's actions. No, it was he who provided Amoruso with information about Blue Orange Wine from the beginning and guided Amoruso to make a plan to assassinate Blue Orange Wine, so all this was a conspiracy against Amoruso. Blue Orange Wine was kept in the dark because it was not trusted by the police, and foolishly became the bait to catch Amoruso.
As for Jinpei Matsuda.
It is possible that he showed his public security credentials and then forced or tricked the other party into cooperating. As an ordinary police officer, Officer Matsuda naturally had to follow the instructions of the public security.
The whole logic makes perfect sense.
Then he only needs to verify it to know whether his guess is correct.
If the police had really been prepared to capture Amoruso, there should be police guarding the area surrounding Amoruso and Blue Orange Wine.
Bourbon knew where Amoruso's ambush was and was able to accurately determine the location.
Akiyama Kanade manipulated a few spare bodies that had not yet been collected to pretend to be tourists looking for the wishing well and walked around the woods a few times. Sure enough, people dressed as police officers appeared and persuaded them to leave.
Bourbon is really an undercover police officer.
The police concealed this matter from Blue Orange Wine. They must have planned to wait for Amoruso and Blue Orange Wine to kill each other first, and then come out to reap the benefits.
Bourbon, you are so scheming!
Even a senior actor like him was played by him!
Damn it! I’m so angry!
I wanted to turn around and beat him up right away!
No, I need to be beaten at least ten times to calm down!
If Bourbon was an undercover police officer, there was no way he would target Blue Curacao just to help Cherry Brandy keep her lover, so why was he so cruel to Blue Curacao?
What had Blue Curacao done to him that he had to steal even someone's underwear.
Ah, I see. He really likes Officer Matsuda too!
This despicable public security officer wanted to abuse his power for personal gain, use his official duties to settle personal grudges, and use official business to get rid of Blue Orange Wine and take over his own position!
Don’t even think about it!
If it weren't for Bourbon, it would be impossible for him to guess that Amoruso and Blue Curacao were the same person's vests, so he could be said to be flawless.
This undercover agent is much more professional than Ley and Scotland.
Wait, if that's the case, aren't Bourbon and Scotland colleagues?
No wonder Bourbon was so sad when Scot died...it seems they were really good friends with similar interests.
Then his previous concern that Blackfriars was unwilling to sacrifice his soul to save Scotland would no longer exist.
Seeing that Amoruso's ambush was just ahead, Akiyama Kanade withdrew his thoughts. Now was not the time to think about that. Bourbon's account could be settled later.
Solve the problem at hand first.
Since he knew that the police were lying in ambush outside and were keeping a close eye on the situation inside, he could also make some changes to his original script.
This time, Blue Curacao still kills Amoruso, but the process can be played out in a more difficult way, so that the police can see how important Officer Matsuda is to Blue Curacao and what he can do for him. Let them be sure that as long as Officer Matsuda is fine, Blue Curacao can still be controlled.
That way they won't just take down Amoruso and then kill him off again, but will continue to squeeze out the value of Curacao.
Bourbon was the only uncontrollable factor. He was so hostile to Blue Curacao that Akiyama Kanade felt that he would kill him in the chaos.
But the problem is not serious and the risk is controllable.
Everything that followed was carried out according to Akiyama Kanade's script. Blue Orange Wine discovered Amoruso's ambush and a brief gunfight broke out between the two sides. Blue Orange Wine questioned Amoruso where he had taken Jinpei Matsuda, and Amoruso avoided the question and was full of sarcasm.
The two men chose to fight at the same time, just like that night three years ago, and staged another Super Saiyan war. The public security officers hiding in the dark and the outsiders brought by Amoruso were stunned and could not intervene at all.
In the end, Blue Curacao, who was in poor health, was at a disadvantage and was kicked out by Amoruso. His back hit the tree trunk hard and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
The young man in white fell to the snow like a doll without its core, with bright red blood dripping from the corner of his lips. But he still spoke in a hoarse and low voice: "...Give him back to me."
Amoruso on the other side smiled lightly, his voice happy, "I didn't know what you were talking about from the beginning... That's it, Blue Curacao. I have finally waited for this day, and I can send you to hell with my own hands--"
The script has come to an end.
The next moment is when Amoruso approaches, lets down his guard in order to taunt Blue and Orange, and is killed by Blue and Orange.
Akiyama Kanade secretly prepared herself and tensed her muscles.
Jiu Sheng Chun Shu was lying on his side on the snow at this time, with his black hair winding behind him and drops of red blood stains on the snow in front of him.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Amoruso who was gradually approaching him.
Then a bullet came through the air and hit Amoruso's right arm where he was holding the gun.
Akiyama Kanade was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, more dense bullets were fired, and Amoruso immediately hid behind a tree trunk, using it as a cover.
Did the police just take action?
No.
Akiyama Kanade saw it.
Not the police.
It was Jinpei Matsuda.
The black clothes he wore almost blended into the darkness around him, but his eyes were still as bright as two fallen stars.
The light of the stars shone into Jiu Sheng Chun Shu's eyes.
He saw him mouthing--
"Wait for me there."
