Chapter 60 Chapter 60 I hope you can have a long and smooth journey...
Even though sunsets come later in the summer, the evening glow still quietly arrives as Matsuda Jinpei narrates. Across the shimmering sea, the deep blue blends into the lighter pink, reflecting on the curly-haired young man's distinguished features, softening his originally heroic and sharp features.
Zhu Fujingguang listened quietly, his expression calm and even a little comforting, but he was almost about to sigh in his heart.
When Morufushi Kagemitsu ceded the "Cat" role to Hagiwara Kenji at Matsuda Jinpei's request, he was taking a gamble, and subsequent developments proved him right. While Tennessee was a complete codename, he held little loyalty to the organization—otherwise, he wouldn't have kept the SD card information secret and not reported it. He was also genuinely devoted to Matsuda Jinpei, so he was willing to follow his lead and slowly emerge from darkness into light.
However, I didn't expect that Hagiwara Kenji's obsession with Matsuda Jinpei was just a manifestation of his possessiveness of his own things.
While Hagiwara Kenji was on the phone and didn't notice him, Matsuda Jinpei left silently.
This is actually not Matsuda Jinpei's usual style. He should wait until Hagiwara Kenji finishes the call and then step forward to ask him what he means.
But even the fearless policeman had many concerns at that moment: Hagiwara Kenji was still in the stage of just accepting the olive branch from the public security, and he had his reasons for this. If the relationship broke down at this time, would it cause the other party to retreat into darkness again? Would it implicate Midorikawa Yui, who had paid too much for this... and so on. He was so rational and thoughtful that even Matsuda Jinpei could hardly believe it was himself.
When he heard this, Zhu Fujingguang couldn't help but interrupt him: "Have you never considered yourself?"
Hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei smiled. "If I didn't know his true thoughts, it would actually be quite pleasant to be around him. Of course, after I found out, I was furious. So furious, I wanted to box with him for three days and three nights."
Zhu Fu Jingguang: “…” He was indeed very angry.
"So if we're just spending time together for a short period of time, I should be able to use my limited acting skills and pretend I know nothing—are you almost achieving your goal? He's been so busy lately that he's practically creating clones. He's taken a few days off for the explosion, so I don't have to be constantly on guard against him."
After that night's call, Hagiwara Kenji received a long phone call. He wasn't sure if it was from the public security or the organization, but it was likely both. The next morning, he took several days off from the Metropolitan Police Department. However, there was a case that only Hagiwara Kenji knew the details of, forcing Matsuda Jinpei to take time off to look for someone, and then he encountered the airport pheromone attack.
Jinpei Matsuda finally realized clearly that he could not sense pheromones other than that of Kenji Hagiwara. After realizing this, the latter did not explain too much, but just said to Jinpei Matsuda in a coquettish manner, "Don't be angry, little Jinpei, I will explain it to you later."
"He was very concerned about the fact that he and I were both alphas, so he was so hostile towards you at first, and that's why he drugged me."
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked over with a little surprise.
The curly-haired young man noticed the gaze and glanced at him. "Maybe he bought the same potion he was going to use on you from the same batch. That's why I can only smell his pheromones now... That's all I can smell at the moment."
That's all he's shown so far. Zhufu Jingguang pondered this sentence. If he'd bought the gland-destroying agent he'd used on him at the time from the same place, its effects wouldn't be so simple. It might even have a restrictive effect, like forbidding Matsuda Jinpei from tagging anyone else.
Later, Kenji Hagiwara did go back to find Jinpei Matsuda and explain to him, but the reason was nothing more than what Jinpei Matsuda could guess: "I just care too much about Jinpei" and "I'm worried that Jinpei will choose someone else."
The words that would normally make him feel subconsciously happy, at that moment, turned into sharp blades stabbing at him.
"Because Hagi couldn't get to where he is today without your help, I think you have the right to know about this and make your decision."
Zhu Fushigami's eyes flickered slightly. Matsuda Jinpei's implication was that just as he had contacted the Public Security Bureau to help Tennessee become an informant, he still had the right to know Tennessee's current situation and contact the Public Security Bureau accordingly. Even though Hagiwara Kenji had made great contributions to the destruction of the organization, he could not be neglected in monitoring or punishing him.
This is the judgment made by Jinpei Matsuda as a police officer.
The curly-haired young man continued, "He's not in the right condition to handle bomb disposal right now, so I was planning to request a suspension for him before I actually left. But even now, I still think he could have been an excellent bomb disposal officer..."
He didn't say anything else.
The pink sunset glow was reflected on the sea surface and captured by the duck-blue eyes, as if flowing into another sea.
And deep in this sea, a silent tsunami is experiencing: "I will leave Hagi after the behemoth you are dealing with falls."
After pouring out the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time and no one to tell, the curly-haired officer was silent for a few seconds and then began to feel embarrassed: "Tsk, you called me out today just to ask about me and Hagi, right?"
The clear cat eyes that had been watching him quietly curved in an arc. "I've witnessed every stage of your relationship with Hagiwara. Can't I show some concern?"
Although Morofushi Kagemitsu wanted to tease, "I kept advising you to stay away from Hagiwara, but you didn't listen. Now you have decided to leave Hagiwara on your own initiative," he changed his mind and thought that even if the current Matsuda Jinpei went back to that time, he might still make the same choice.
Seeing that Curly was about to explode, Zhu Fujingguang stopped while he was ahead and got down to business: "I want you to help me design a bomb that can evade search and then be assembled by myself. It should be powerful enough. The materials are not limited."
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows: "You want me, a bomb disposal officer, to help you, a criminal, design a bomb?"
His expression looked so ferocious as if he was about to take out a silver bracelet and handcuff it around Morofushi Kagemitsu's wrist. The latter also cooperated by picking up the empty can of beer and threatening Matsuda Jinpei with it as if he was holding a gun.
After five seconds of tit-for-tat, Matsuda Jinpei surrendered first: "I'll give it to you tomorrow night."
Zhu Fushiki Jingguang took back the "gun" and put it back into the hands of the garbage maker himself: "You still trust me too much, Matsuda."
Without even asking what the bomb was for.
"Trust is mutual." As they were about to part, Officer Curly said with a hint of meaning, "Also, if anyone makes you unhappy, you can always come to me."
Zhu Fujingguang laughed: Looking for you, and then let you fight with Zero, right?
But at the same time, he felt a sense of loss that he couldn't explain: the current Jinpei Matsuda was no longer the same as the Jinpei Matsuda back then. Even if he didn't want to say it, they would still pressure him to open up to his friends of the same period.
The identity has changed, the position has changed, the time and people have also changed.
Slightly clenching his back teeth to prevent any negative emotions from appearing in his smile, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Matsuda Jinpei waved goodbye.
My journey can only go so far, I hope you can move forward smoothly and for a long time.

Arriving at the organization's base again, Zhu Fujingguang began to inquire about the house that the boss had taken him back to several times before.
Before the organization was in such a precarious situation, Zhu Fu Jingguang did not dare to look up relevant information at all. He only started to take action now that it had become a mess - if he was discovered, he could put the blame on Pisco, saying that he had bribed the logistics team.
Zhu Fujingguang wasn't too discouraged after finding no clues in the logistics team's distribution of supplies. After all, it was normal for a figure of his rank not to have supplies go through the logistics team. But it was impossible for him to give up on this important clue.
After some thought, Morobushi Jingguang returned to his safe house and used his computer to draw a diagram of the house's interior structure. He also included his own possible location and sent it to the email address that Furuya Rei had given "Cat" last time, asking him to help find a building that met the requirements. Although he knew Furuya Rei was probably too busy to even rest, he knew there was no faster source of information, and this also indirectly provided Furuya Rei with intelligence.
While waiting for the replies from Furuya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei, Morofushi Kagemitsu sorted out the intelligence he had, excluded the part provided by Furuya Rei, and divided the rest into two parts. The bulk of the information went to the Miyano sisters, especially Miyano Akemi. Shirley was an important research member and had been restricted in her personal freedom for a long time. Even after the organization was destroyed, she would not have a bad ending. Miyano Akemi, who "took the initiative" to do the mission for her sister, obviously needed a retreat, even though the latter should now be protected by the FBI or the public security.
There was also a portion he hesitated to give to Mezcal. The European head of the organization, persuaded by Scotland to abandon his dark side and join the light, vanished after their video call that day. No one could contact him, making the possibility of his betrayal extremely high. Gin was stationed at the Japanese headquarters, and it was Vermouth who was sent to Europe. It seemed she was determined to find him alive or dead.
Originally, Scotland, as a former member of the action team and "equally trusted", was the best person to find Mezcal. However, Scotland had worked with Mezcal for four months not long ago. Now that Scotland was not thrown into the interrogation room by Gin, many people were impressed by how much trust he enjoyed.
Only Scotland himself knew that what awaited him would be even more terrifying.
Just as he was thinking about how to set up a schedule to send this information to Furuya Rei's mailbox in the name of the above-mentioned people, Furuya Rei himself called him.
It's only been four hours since Zhufu Jingguang sent the interior map of the house... Isn't this a bit too efficient?
Perhaps because he was nervous about the possibility of coming into contact with information as high as the boss's address, Zhu Fujingguang's finger lingered on the answer button and he didn't press it until the call was about to be hung up.
There was a brief silence for a few seconds after the call was connected.
In the end, Zhu Fujingguang spoke first: "Have you found out about Zero?"
"Mr. Cat's drawing is very detailed, and the clues he provided greatly reduced our workload. However, it doesn't exist in any official searchable system, so it will be sent to you after multiple verifications."
After saying this, there was another silence on the phone, and then Furuya Ling spoke again: "Actually, I called this time just to -"
What are you thinking about?
His attention was piqued by the other party's words. Just as he was waiting for the next words, he heard Furuya Rei pause for a few seconds and then abruptly say, "It's alright. I'll continue screening Mr. Cat."
This was the shortest conversation between Rei Furuya and "Cat".
In the busy tone after hanging up, the emotions in Furuya Rei's last two sentences were clearly captured by Morobushi Jingguang.
...What is he afraid of?
