Chapter 667: Strange Organization Name
Jiang Xia took the new phone, found his email, and clicked on it to check.
I saw a document lying in my inbox.
After clicking it, there are electronic files of three people, the familiar three-choice option, the familiar taste.
But this time, Toru Amuro seems to have made his choice in advance.
"We have found three people now. Among them, 'Tatsuzo Watanuki' is the most suspicious."
Amuro Toru recalled the kind-looking grandfather in the archive photo and said:
"This man is a cadre of the Mud Society. According to intelligence, he and Slack from Epimetheus went to the same bar at the same time a week before the incident. Although the evidence is not clear, the force that intercepted the ship is likely Epimetheus, but we haven't been able to find the connection between the two men yet - I plan to keep an eye on Watanuki Tatsuzo for a while and search for loopholes. If I can't find him, I'll find a chance to arrest him and interrogate him. As long as the arrest is covert enough and the Mud Society doesn't catch any evidence, there will be no problem."
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and finally chose the most convenient question: "...Epimetheus?"
"An organization that hides in the shadows like a rat." Amuro Toru said with a hint of disdain, "I'm not sure what it's called, but it's said that they're frantically searching for a gem called 'Pandora', so when we mention those people, we usually call them that."
"The husband of Pandora in Greek mythology, a very vivid name..." Jiang Xia was talking about things related to the mythology, but in his heart he thought of the gems containing energy cores.
If I remember correctly, this organization is Kidd's mortal enemy. As far as I can remember, they also have some gems containing energy cores in their inventory, but they are not as high quality as Kidd's.
This mission actually involves that organization, and I don’t know if I can encounter the energy core.
However, regardless of whether there is one or not, based on experience, these things related to various organizations will definitely yield some gains...
While thinking, he finished reading the information of his target this time, "Tatsuzo Watanuki".
Then I took a look at the other two character files.
Noticing that the other two looked fierce and had great potential, Jiang Xia couldn't help but ask casually, "Don't worry about the other two?"
Amuro Toru shook his head, "No need. One of them is a cadre of the Mud Association, just like Watanuki Tatsuzo. This person is responsible for external relations, and it is obvious that he has contact with people in Epimetheus. According to experience, people in this situation are less likely to cause problems. It is possible that he was just thrown out by the real culprit as a cover. I have sent local people to verify it.
"The last suspect is from the organization and is currently in the interrogation room. If it is really him, he would have confessed by now. Don't worry too much."
Jiang Xia: “…”
The three choices of the organization are different from the familiar three choices of the detective. It should be described as "simple and crude", or praised as efficient...
Speaking of which, he didn't know which officer was in charge of the interrogation, or what the murderous aura smelled like... Unfortunately, Toru Amuro was unlikely to take him to visit the scene. As a detective, it was not appropriate for him to bring up these issues.
…
After Amuro Toru finished speaking, he noticed that Jiang Xia had fallen silent, so he glanced at the passenger seat.
Although it wasn't very obvious, Jiang Xia seemed to be in a slightly depressed mood.
Toru Amuro: “…” The topic of interrogation in an organization might be a bit heavy for a high school detective.
Thinking of this, he did not go into the topic further, but drove quietly. He planned to let Jiang Xia digest it himself - after all, Jiang Xia was still in the organization, so it was inevitable that he would be exposed to these things, and he would have to learn to adapt to some extent.
In this regard, Amuro Toru felt that he understood Jiang Xia quite well, because he didn't like these things either.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but recall the cruel methods and the dark side of the organization. How he had gone along with them in order to infiltrate, and how he had to pretend nothing happened when he saw his companions die tragically... His childhood friend who had been undercover with him and died tragically on the rooftop flashed in his eyes, and a trace of murderous intent that could not be suppressed flashed in Toru Amuro's eyes.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt Jiang Xia's eyes move in the passenger seat.
Amuro Toru glanced over subconsciously, and then found with a little surprise that for some reason, the employee's mood seemed to have improved again.
"……?"
I didn’t expect Jiang Xia to have such a strong ability to self-regulate. It’s only been less than a few minutes.
...I was worried about his mental state before, but now it seems that the situation is better than he thought?
So should I find a psychiatrist or not?
Amuro Toru was briefly confused.
Then I decided to put this thought aside for now.
——At this stage, the most important thing is to concentrate on completing the task and then let Jiang Xia return to Tokyo as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he didn't know whether Jiang Xia needed to see a doctor or not. But he might need to go to the doctor first to adjust his mentality...
…
The Toushen Forest is actually not far from Jiang Xia and his friends’ destination.
And this time, there was no flat tire on the road.
Just after noon, Toru Amuro successfully arrived at his target accommodation location - Akagi Ryokan.
When getting out of the car, he slammed the door and looked back at the intact car. He was slightly surprised, but felt that this was a good sign.
…
On the other side, the city station.
Vermouth pressed the buttons on her phone, flipping through the information retrieved from the organization's database, checking the details of the mission.
——Of course it was not her mission, but Jiang Xia and Bourbon’s mission.
Vermouth had seen this information several times before and had memorized it firmly in his mind.
After quickly flipping through it and finding no additions, she exited the interface, adjusted the plug-in on her phone, and dialed a number.
Not long after, the person on the other end picked up the phone.
Suzuki Sonoko's voice came through the speaker:
"Xiao Lan? I'm almost there. If you're already here, you can wait for me nearby. There's a folk custom shop there, and the specialties there are so - so pretty!"
"Okay." Vermouth can imitate other people's voices freely. At this time, she switched to Mao Lilan's voice, then looked at the huge billboard in the distance and smiled, "Actually, just now at the gas station, I won a ticket for the designated seat of the two·mix concert..."
…
At the same time.
Maori and his group rented a new car and were heading to the meeting place agreed with Suzuki Sonoko.
——Recently, a romantic love drama called "Red Maple Leaves on a Winter Night" has been popular, starring Yoko Kinoshita.
As her avid fan, Kogoro Mori plans to go on a holy tour to the filming locations of famous scenes in the movie.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were also very interested in this and made an appointment to go together.
