Chapter 539 Gin Look at Bourbon
Vermouth held her chin and remained silent for a moment, looking at the empty inbox, when she suddenly remembered something.
She turned to the computer, closed the encrypted folder containing the data, and opened the organization's interface instead.
After entering the password and logging in, Vermouth searched for information related to "Uzo" as she did before, but found nothing.
After hesitating for a moment, she chose another keyword - Jiangxia.
After an outer member is given a code name, in order to prevent careful insiders from guessing the identity of the code name member from personnel changes, the organization usually does not immediately delete the member's files during the outer period, but gradually weakens his "outer member" identity.
After one to two years, when the time and identity are sufficiently blurred, the corresponding files will be sealed.
Of course, if there is a suitable opportunity before that, the organization will take the initiative to create a "death" depending on the circumstances, allowing the promoted "peripheral members" to disappear naturally.
It has apparently been less than a year since Jiangxia obtained the code name, so it does not meet the conditions for sealing.
Besides, he certainly hadn't encountered a suitable time to "die". After all, Jiang Xia's detective identity was originally an important part of his "Uzo" identity. Unless he made some irreparable mistake, the organization would not allow this useful identity to be easily erased.
…
Due to Vermouth's special relationship with her boss, and her own strong abilities, she has a high authority in the organization.
The information about "Uzo" that Bourbon wanted to find but couldn't find was not hard to find at Vermouth. As a "peripheral member", Jiang Xia would be even easier to find.
In addition, except for some extremely important tasks, other tasks will not impose any restrictions on Vermouth.
Vermouth's fingers flew, typing out key words on the keyboard, and successfully found the file belonging to the peripheral member "Jiang Xia".
Then he suddenly discovered that there were changes in Jiang Xia's file two days ago.
——An additional task record has been added.
Last week, in a ten-digit transaction in Gunma Prefecture, the organization's delivery of goods went wrong, and there was also a leak of information. The code-named cadre in charge of this matter was almost arrested. However, he finally escaped at all costs and is currently under investigation by the organization.
After suffering such a loss, the organization could not just pretend that nothing had happened. However, for the organization, although several billion was not a small amount, it was not a huge amount. In the end, in addition to the local institutions in Gunma Prefecture starting to deal with the aftermath, the top leaders of the organization only sent an elite intelligence officer to investigate the cause and effect and deal with the parties involved in the transaction according to the situation.
...The person in charge of this task happened to be Bourbon.
Vermouth glanced at the mission details and frowned.
In order to prevent themselves from being too incompetent and being silenced by the top leaders of the organization, the cadres in Gunma Prefecture wanted to survive. After submitting the accident situation, they quickly identified three possible culprits and submitted additional information.
All Bourbon had to do was to confirm the information of the three people and then find the final suspicious person.
For him, a task of this difficulty should have been concluded in a day or two, but Bourbon actually filled in a full ten days in the estimated time.
...Of course, this is not the reason why Vermouth paid attention to this little task.
What she cared about more was that Bourbon actually included Jiang Xia in the mission team.
... Bourbon often travels on public funds. He is capable and can always find useful information. His organization is large and powerful, so no one will blame him for his petty wealth... But why did he bring Jiang Xia along?
... Bourbon doesn't look like the kind of leader who is considerate of his subordinates and would provide them with funding. He is also extremely strict with peripheral members, which results in few people being willing to get close to him.
Judging from the mission records, when Bourbon took Jiang Xia out to do missions in the past, he only used Jiang Xia as a tool. And those missions were all within the normal deadline, but this time not only did the time extend significantly, but Jiang Xia also kept losing contact...
Vermouth tapped her fingers on the table a few times, her eyes flickering.
After pondering for a moment, she picked up her phone and called Gin.
The call was quickly picked up by the other end.
"Gin, I'm looking through the latest files. Guess what I found?" Vermouth dragged out the last word and said in a tone of gloating, "The new cadre you brought up ran away with Bourbon. It seems that he was very focused on his mission. He didn't even reply to my messages in the past two days."
…In her impression, gin and bourbon have never gotten along.
Gin hates Bourbon's autocratic and unyielding style.
And Bourbon...
Bourbon seems to hate everyone except himself. Maybe this is the pride of genius...
In short, Vermouth felt that since she was trapped in the FBI's web and it was inconvenient for her to move, it would be quick and easy to get Jiang Xia out of Bourbon's unknown purpose and find Gin to add fuel to the fire.
After all, in Vermouth's opinion, Gin's mind is easier to figure out than the overly mysterious Bourbon. It's safer for Jiang Xia to be with him than to be taken away by Bourbon and lose contact.
However, the development was not quite what she expected.
——Gin was not at all surprised by the information she provided, as if he had known about it for a long time.
Only an impatient voice came through the receiver:
"He was just playing a silly game with Bourbon - why are you checking Uzo's file for no reason? It's none of your business."
Vermouth: “……?”
...Gin actually knew?
Suddenly, I felt a sense of being excluded...
Vermouth was silent for a moment.
However, as a well-known actress, she controlled her tone very well, still complaining half-truthfully like a bystander who didn't mind making trouble:
"What a bad attitude. This is for your own good. You seem to like newcomers like Uzo. I just think that Bourbon doesn't know that he is a codenamed member yet. If he is used as cannon fodder because of some frictions in daily life, the organization will suffer."
Gin sneered at this. Bourbon was not really short-sighted. Judging from his performance so far, he undoubtedly hoped that this "peripheral member" could grow into a capable subordinate and become part of his intelligence network.
Besides, Uzo is not the kind of person who will be easily arranged. Instead of worrying about these, it is better to worry that he will arrange others casually.
Compared to this, Gin thought, he always felt that Vermouth had a strange obsession with Uzo - at first she was obsessed with killing him, and later it vaguely turned into another twisted emotion, especially after she failed to plot against Uzo and was instead tortured in the room.
...Hmm? Could this woman have awakened some strange attribute?
Tsk, disgusting.
