Chapter 59 Chapter 59 I recently got a curly-haired cat.
After Kashasa left, Zhu Fujingguang leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
Unlike Gin, Scotland lacked the authority to interrogate or execute a specific codename member. Furthermore, Kachasa was merely attempting to profit from both the logistics team and Pisco, which wasn't strictly a serious offense. He could certainly indirectly eliminate Kachasa elsewhere to create a deterrent effect, but perhaps a better option would be to use Kachasa to investigate Pisco's situation.
Originally, Pisco had a neutral attitude towards Scotland, but after being involved in a factional struggle with Rum, he became dissatisfied with Bourbon, which was Rum's right-hand man, and also became dissatisfied with Scotland, which was superficially tied to Bourbon.
In fact, the fact that Pisco was behind the attack on Bourbon and Kato Hiroshi that night surprised Morobushi Kagemitsu. While Pisco was a veteran member of the organization and had considerable experience, he primarily operated as an entrepreneur, running an automobile business and generating financial returns for the organization. His aggressiveness was less pronounced than that of Rum and Gin.
A person who has been able to survive in the organization for so long and live a comfortable life would not suddenly become passionate and start fighting for power and profit at this age. What's more, the organization is in turmoil now. Pisco must have known something and there is something he is eager to fight for by doing this.
But what would that be?
Morofushi Kagemitsu thought of Kato Hiroyuki's morbid pursuit of health, of Kato Chinana, whose ancestors had lived a long life, of the organization's never-ending human experiments, of the heavily protected research team, of the special materials in Tottori, and of the bottle of unknown liquid he had seen on the table when he had rescued the "butler" that day...
I thought about yesterday's pheromone attack, about Scotland being experimented on with "Schafer", and about the boss trying his best to bring Scotland and Bourbon together, who had a perfect match.
The scattered puzzle pieces are coming together one by one, slowly revealing a picture of darkness, blood, and cruelty, and I might be the most critical step in it.
He appeared in the organization's base in such a high-profile manner this time. In addition, he and Bourbon had "killed" Lei and Miyano Akemi before. The boss must know that he has returned to the country and combined with Bourbon. According to the effect of "Shafuli", he will meet the boss soon and may lose his personal freedom.
This was still within Zhu Fujingguang's expectations, but some intelligence and equipment that had not yet been obtained had to be obtained now.
He habitually opened the phone he'd used to talk to Rei Furuya under the guise of "Cat," but his finger lingered on the dial button for a long time, not pressing it. Even though he'd been busy trying to stop himself from thinking about yesterday, the sight, hearing, or even the thought of Rei Furuya would bring the suffocating car interior and the darkened room back to life in Morobushi Keimitsu's mind, both clearly and chaotically.
The coffee pheromones still hugged him tightly, just like real coffee, making him more awake while increasing the burden on his stomach.
Zhu Fujingguang didn't dare to guarantee that in his current condition, he could hide from the sharp-sighted Jiang Gu Ling.
Let's just wait a little longer. Maybe Zero will call me after a while.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fujingguang closed the phone and contacted another person.
*
The curly-haired young man was still wearing his black suit and sunglasses, looking like a cool guy. However, in his hand, instead of a typical cigarette, he was holding a bottle of beer. The water droplets slowly sliding down the surface of the can slightly reduced the heat and oppression brought by his dark outfit in the midsummer.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he didn't turn around: "Why did you ask me to go to the beach again? Are you planning to push me overboard if things get bad?"
"You're right, I'll push now." The mechanical voice of recitation followed Matsuda Jinpei's words very promptly. At the same time, a pair of hands belonging to the former sniper were placed on the shoulders of the curly-haired young man, as if he would exert force in the next second.
Matsuda Jinpei chuckled. "I've been wanting to fight you since I saw you at the convenience store. It's not too late to try now."
Having said that, he finally turned around and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang for the first time. He was immediately stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and asked: "What on earth have you been through in the past two days? Why do you look so bad?"
Zhu Fujingguang stood beside him.
The sea breeze blew, slightly lifting his hair and causing the light that fell on him through the gaps in the shade to sway, blurring the emotions in those cat-like eyes. "So far, you're the first person who hasn't commented on my pheromones, Matsuda."
Back in the coffee shop, Morofushi Kagemitsu was just wearing a new piece of clothes of Rei Furuya, but the curly-haired police officer was able to immediately detect the other person's pheromones and express disgust. But now he stood in front of Matsuda Jinpei with coffee-scented pheromones all over his body, but the latter remained indifferent.
Jinpei Matsuda fell silent.
After a while, he took another sip of the beer in his hand and smiled: "I really didn't expect it. I didn't expect that the source of your current state was Amuro, and I didn't expect that you would notice my abnormality so quickly."
"That day outside the airport, with all the chaos and pheromones so dense, you stood there like a beta."
Morobushi Kagemitsu originally wanted to ask what happened to you, but when he thought of Hagiwara Kenji who disappeared after sending Kato Chinana away, and the potion that tried to stab him in the back of his neck at the amusement park, he directly threw out a name: "Is it because of Hagiwara?"
"You've already seen it, yet you're still asking?" The words sounded harsh, but in fact, Jinpei Matsuda's tone was very calm, closer to a statement.
After saying this, he glanced sideways at Zhu Fu Jingguang's expression: "Are you going to say that 'If you don't mind, tell me about it' again? You're clearly in a much worse state than I am, yet you always seem to want to help this and that."
Morifushi Kagemitsu wanted to retort, "Then why don't you list the evidence?" But then, remembering Matsuda Jinpei's intuition that he was cheating, he deleted the sentence and said obediently, "Tell me about it if you don't mind."
Jinpei Matsuda: “…” The beer can made a teeth-grinding sound in his hand.
His expression clearly said, "I'll say it if you ask me to," but then he actually said, "I'm going to leave Hagi."
This statement was truly earth-shattering, after all, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara had only been dating for about half a month.
Given the persistence that Kenji Hagiwara has shown towards Jinpei Matsuda, and the fact that Jinpei Matsuda is unwilling to let go even after knowing the other person's identity, it stands to reason that this relationship will not be broken in a short period of time.
More importantly, on that night on the foreign beach, Matsuda Jinpei said to Morofushi Kagemitsu, "I will not leave Hagi."
Quickly recalling what he had seen of Hagiwara Kenji, Morifushi Kagemitsu asked, "Because of the omega who was pestering Hagiwara at the airport that day? Because he drugged you?"
Matsuda Jinpei shook his head slightly and then nodded, but did not speak for a while, as if he was thinking about how to organize his words, or as if he was just immersed in this not-so-long past.
Finally, he seemingly casually placed the beer can on the cylindrical railing, but miraculously it didn't fall. The crisp sound of metal colliding became the beginning of this story: "He was too obsessed with me... or maybe it was just obsession."
Logically, since Kenji Hagiwara had successfully pursued Jinpei Matsuda, there was no need for him to remain in the Explosion Squad. After all, juggling multiple roles would be exhausting and would easily lead to the organization's discovery. Yet, he remained in a place where intelligence was scarce and field work was exhausting.
Jinpei Matsuda understood this because he himself did not want to be separated from his lover. Since the other party was so compatible with him in bomb disposal and was also a very good bomb disposal officer from a technical point of view, there was no need for him to ask Kenji Hagiwara to resign as a bomb disposal officer.
He also had a subtle thought, hoping that by working with the police every day, Kenji Hagiwara could subtly change his views as a member of the organization.
Whether this idea will be successful has not yet been verified - after all, it takes time for subtle influence to take effect, and then something went wrong.
Although Jinpei Matsuda looks fierce and has an aura of 2.8 meters, he is actually very popular in the explosive virgin class and even has potential fans in the entire Metropolitan Police Department.
Even with the arrival of Kenji Hagiwara, who took some of the spotlight away, Matsuda Jinpei's position as the core of the virgin squad remained unchanged. Some who had previously held back from pursuing Matsuda due to his aura began to have their own thoughts, seeing that Matsuda Jinpei didn't resist Hagiwara Kenji's advances.
Curly-haired police officer is naturally weak in this aspect. Unless someone is as persistent as Hagiwara Kenji in breaking through his social defenses, even if other people say "I like you" in front of him, he might think that they want to learn bomb disposal techniques from him.
Just because the person he likes doesn't notice doesn't mean that the perceptive Hagiwara Kenji hasn't noticed that person's little thoughts. Hagiwara Kenji won't take the initiative to do anything big, but that doesn't prevent him from having his own ideas at a critical moment.
The first time was during a joint operation in which Kenji Hagihara participated. A police officer suffered burns on more than 10% of his skin, with the deepest burns reaching deep II degree.
No matter who investigates this matter or how they investigate, they can only regret that it was due to the accident and Hagiwara Kenji's inability to arrive in time. The semi-long-haired explosion police officer also publicly expressed that he felt very guilty about this.
Only Jinpei Matsuda, who was most familiar with Kenji Hagiwara, noticed the subtle sense of incongruity. He repeatedly reviewed the case files in private and realized the unreasonableness in them - Kenji Hagiwara had enough time to prevent the police officer from being injured.
Strictly speaking, this cannot be considered as watching someone die without helping, because the timing was very critical, so critical that even if Kenji Hagiwara really wanted to save someone, he could not guarantee that he would escape unscathed.
So even though Matsuda Jinpei remembered that the police officer had tried to invite him to go to the izakaya in the evening on the morning of the incident, he did not directly convict Hagiwara Kenji.
Jinpei Matsuda knew that it took great courage to walk from darkness to light, and the slander from people close to him might very likely push him into the darkness again. Having suffered greatly from stigma, Jinpei Matsuda naturally did not want Hagiwara Kenji to suffer such grievances.
It wasn't until a similar incident happened a second time that Jinpei Matsuda, who was present, felt a sense of responsibility and returned to Hagiwara Kenji's team, which saved the officer's life.
That night, Matsuda Jinpei sorted out his thoughts and found that Hagiwara Kenji had more or less shown his obsession with Matsuda Jinpei before, but it was only after he was recently promoted to team leader that he began to have ample room to make small moves.
Unwilling to let the situation continue like this, Matsuda Jinpei wanted to talk to Hagiwara Kenji about these two incidents, but he found that the latter was on the phone.
He had no intention of prying into his lover's privacy and originally wanted to turn around and leave, but was pinned to the spot by a word from Kenji Hagiwara.
"I won't be lonely... I recently got a curly-haired cat. It looks fierce, but it's actually very cute. It's just that there are too many people coveting small pets, which is a bit annoying. But I should be able to clean it up slowly and everything will be fine. Anyway, I'm doing well, so don't worry, sister."
His tone was intimate and lively, just like any other ordinary act of aegyo from Hagiwara Kenji, as if he really was just discussing the sweet troubles of raising a pet.
If it weren't for Jinpei Matsuda knowing who the "Curly-haired cat" and "little pet" were referring to.
If he hadn't heard that this was not a nickname for a lover, but a true expression of love and appreciation for a small animal that was very pleasing to him.
