Chapter 142 Another Phone Call
Day 11 of the road survival game!
"This has to do with the relationships within the organization, so I'll keep it short..." Seeing that Matsuda didn't know, Furuya Rei assumed that Gin's sister was unwilling to reveal the organization's internal problems to the police, and didn't find the question strange.
However, out of vigilance towards the organization and suspicion towards Gin's sister, he naturally wanted to tell them this information as soon as possible, especially if the other party hadn't told them, so as not to let them be deceived due to their lack of knowledge.
So he succinctly told the group about the power struggle between the organization's boss and Rum within the organization. After finishing, he subconsciously probed in a joking tone: "By the way, Feng Sang, is your brother really the heir to the organization?"
The organization's boss gave him so many privileges. Nominally, he was the third-in-command, but in reality, he had more decision-making power in the organization than Rum. All the organization's cadres had Western distilled spirits as their code names, but he was the only one with a Japanese sake name.
They were all officers with code names, yet only he had the authority to command and direct all members of the organization… With so many unique characteristics combined, everyone in the organization considered him to be the organization's heir!
However, if Gin is indeed the successor of the organization, then he must be related to the organization's boss. Gin's sister speaks authentic Chinese with a slight Northeastern accent. Does this mean that Gin and she lived in China for a long time before?
If that's the case, the organization's boss is truly cunning, sending his blood relatives to the country with the strictest crime-fighting measures in the world, leaving these investigators in the dark. No wonder they couldn't find any clues about the organization's boss and his relatives.
Unfortunately, Chinese customs are very strict. Investigations that are not related to Interpol cooperation will not be approved by the visas of sensitive personnel from other countries. If an ordinary person sneaks in and is exposed, it will cause great diplomatic trouble.
The complex relationship between China and Japan makes it easy for anyone infiltrating the investigation to be suspected of being a spy with ulterior motives. Even though he had guessed this during the Twin Towers investigation, he couldn't send people to investigate or go there himself...
Just as Furuya Rei was saying that he couldn't infiltrate and investigate Gin's information like other countries, Fuugoro Mamoru, who was asking him this question, originally wanted to deny it outright.
They, as siblings, had no connection whatsoever with the organization's boss, so how could they possibly be members of such a large transnational criminal organization? But... the words of denial were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.
Because she suddenly realized that it would be impossible for her, but her brother seemed to be an exception. He was the kind of person who could easily gain recognition, respect, and fear for his abilities and power wherever he was.
While working at the mercenary company, he was already being groomed as a potential successor by the company's leader after less than two years. After joining the organization, is it possible that he'll also be valued by the organization's boss and truly be groomed as their heir? -_-||
Thinking of this, she answered very honestly, "I don't know how to answer this question either. My brother rarely talks to me about his work, and I've never heard from him about his position at his workplace!"
.
"Oh! I see." Given Feng Sang's personality as revealed by his words and actions, the fact that he didn't deny it means that he and his sister do indeed have some kind of relationship with the organization's BOSS. In other words, they should both know the organization's BOSS's true identity?
Although the Japanese government disappointed him, he had seen all sorts of disappointing information within the public security intelligence system, and had ridiculously become accustomed to the presence of all sorts of terrible people in the government.
Therefore, upon hearing about the Silver Bullet, he did not descend into a state of fury over that terrible future, because he had already learned about the first bad side of a high-ranking Japanese official.
He made up his mind that he became a policeman to protect the Japanese people, not to protect those corrupt officials and the big capitalists who manipulated them behind the scenes. It was with this kind of awareness that he became a policeman.
Only after learning the truth could he rationally and calmly deduce, based on information about Shuichi Akai's girlfriend's background, that Hiro's inconsistencies before and after the incident meant he had been betrayed by his own people. Only then did he come to the conclusion that the silver bullet must not fall into the hands of the US and Japanese governments.
That is an existence that should never have been created in the first place, and that does not mean that the organization is a good existence. If it were in the hands of the organization, it might one day use it to do something even worse than the actions of the US and Japan.
Therefore, this huge cancer of the organization must be completely eradicated. With this in mind, Furuya Rei deduced that Gin and Fuusei probably knew the identity of the organization's BOSS, so he decided to first get along well with Fuusei, who was easier to get along with than Gin.
He would find an opportunity to investigate the organization's boss through her, and then completely eliminate the boss and the organization. Of course, he wouldn't leave a single piece of the silver bullet's research data to the officials of either country...
While thinking this, he overlooked how well his close friends and colleagues knew him and how excellent their professional skills were. So, regardless of his earlier probing and subsequent reaction, they, especially Hagiwara, saw through his words.
Hagiwara almost immediately guessed what he was thinking. Hagiwara was a little helpless about this. Unlike him, who just wanted a job that wouldn't lead to unemployment, Kofuya was very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.
However, he plans to use Fuu-chan. He wouldn't interfere with people who are unrelated to him, but not Fuu-chan. Even if she is the younger sister of a ruthless criminal boss, he cannot let Kofuruya use her.
Kaze-chan was his miracle, someone he would protect even at the cost of his life. With that thought in mind, he didn't wait for Furuya Rei to continue probing and coaxing Kaze-chan into revealing more information about the organization's boss.
He then naturally changed the subject: "By the way, Furuya, besides giving me and Jinpei an operation code name, did you also give us 'personas' for other organization cadres?"
"Uh..." Oh no, how could I have overlooked the fact that Hagiwara was right next to me? With him there, and considering his relationship with Gin's sister... I'm getting a little impatient again. Rei Furuya, who also guessed his thoughts from his friend's reaction, wanted to facepalm in exasperation.
But the police officer was still very concerned about his reputation, so he could only pause subtly before replying nonchalantly, "It was based on his words that I made some up. To put it simply, I combined the information he revealed in his words with his own."
I made up a story that after his accident, I was seriously injured and could no longer participate in some of the organization's operations after the incident was over. In the future, I took on a job similar to an instructor in the organization, and happened to be in charge of 'educating' you two.
I've even become very close friends with both of you, sharing everything. As for your and Feng Sang's 'personas,' I haven't mentioned them. After all, I don't know Feng Sang, and Gin and Feng Sang are siblings. In this situation, saying too much could lead to mistakes, and even a careless remark could be noticed by Gin."
.
“OK! I know how to talk to my future brother-in-law when I call him later.” Hagiwara emphasized the words “future brother-in-law” to show his attitude.
If he had said that normally, Feng Xingshou would have quickly refuted and clarified it to avoid being misunderstood by Hagiwara's friend as "taking advantage of a favor" or something like that. Unfortunately, this time Hagiwara spoke in Japanese, and she couldn't understand what Hagiwara was saying to the police officer on the other end of the phone.
So, without her rebuttal or clarification, and without Furuya Rei knowing that her understanding of Japanese was limited to a few Japanese anime slang terms like "kawaii" and "yamete," and that she knew nothing else, she was completely ignorant of Japanese.
He assumed that her lack of rebuttal meant she was admitting it, mistakenly believing that the two had developed into a relationship. Hagiwara even called her future brother-in-law, clearly stating his position. What could Furuya Rei do about this?
He could only make a face as if he had a toothache, and say in a sarcastic tone, "I hope you really understand this time, and don't go overboard with your improvisation like last time..."
"Hey! That was just a glitch we made because we didn't know the phone could pick up audio. Don't make it sound like we're the ones who do all the reckless things." Weren't he and Jing Dan the ones who always did the most reckless things? When did it become his turn to criticize himself and Hagi? Matsuda thought speechlessly.
Morofushi Kagemitsu watched helplessly as the group started bickering again, just like they did in school. He quickly reminded them, "We've been on the phone for almost 12 minutes already. Don't forget we haven't found the exit yet!"
"Ahem... Furuya, that's all. We're leaving the Bellend Group to you. We need to talk to Fuu-chan, so we'll hang up now." After Hagiwara finished speaking, worried that Furuya might be unwilling to give up since he hadn't gotten any information from Fuu-chan, he tried to get more information from Fuu-chan.
He hung up the phone decisively and then said to Matsuda, "Jinpei, call Kaze-chan next! With your memory, you should still remember his phone number. Let's continue looking for the dungeon exit while talking to him."
"Tsk!" Matsuda clicked his tongue upon hearing this, but did not object. He followed Hagiwara's footsteps and dialed the same phone number he had called at the Twin Towers last time.
When Kazekage saw that he was talking to his brother, he immediately perked up his ears and, even though he was next to Hagiwara, he subconsciously moved closer to Matsuda.
Hagiwara felt the faint touch between his hands and immediately guessed Fuu-chan's reaction. He simply slowed down and walked alongside Matsuda, reminding her, "Fuu-chan, it's fine to care about your future brother-in-law, but don't forget to watch out for the exits!"
So, after acquiring two sets of memories, the model worker from the winery waited for more than 20 minutes before receiving a call from an unknown number. The first thing he heard when he answered the phone was this sentence that he found extremely jarring.
He sneered and immediately said sarcastically into his phone, "Hmph! You're not qualified to be a smirking guy like that."
"Pfft!" Matsuda couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Gin had actually taken it seriously, thinking that his childhood friend was still in the process of pursuing him.
