Chapter 789: The spread of brain supplements
"This mission... the part I have to do is actually very simple. But when I work backwards and try to review it, I always feel..." Subaru Okiya paused and pushed his glasses, "very scary."
Akai Shuichi glanced at him.
Shuichi Akai actually had some doubts about this matter.
——As a well-informed FBI agent, Shuichi Akai has a good memory.
A few days ago, after the newspaper published the news that President Watanuki killed someone and buried the body and was eventually arrested, he immediately remembered that this was exactly the target of Okiya Subaru's mission.
At first glance, Okiya Subaru was lucky, as the target sent himself in.
But the coincidences always made Shuichi Akai feel that things might not be so simple.
However, let's look at the details of the case: Watanuki Yoshiichi killed someone a month ago, and the timeline is really long. Moreover, "killing a person and framing Watanuki Yoshiichi" is something that the organization can do with its moral standards. But according to Shuichi Akai's understanding of the organization, facing a target like Watanuki Yoshiichi who is not a big shot, the organization's approach is usually simpler and more brutal.
Killing someone a month in advance like they are doing now, and then framing them at the right time... it's simply unimaginable.
...That’s what Shuichi Akai originally thought.
But now, after hearing what Okiya Subaru said, he realized that the situation did not seem to be what he expected.
Shuichi Akai held the gun hidden in the express package, looked at Okiya Subaru thoughtfully, and waited for the next words.
Okiya Subaru took a deep breath and recalled the unpleasant meeting with Usa:
“That day, not long after I arrived at the target, Uzo suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me what my plan was.
"When I told him about the common practice of assassination, he looked very dissatisfied. He even said with disdain that it was a crude act that only thugs would take."
Akai Shuichi: "..."
...In this case, the style of this cadre is indeed a bit strange.
Speaking of which, since "Uzo" holds such a philosophy, his relationship with Gin must not be very good.
——As someone who knows a little about Gin, the moment Shuichi Akai heard the series of derogatory words, Gin's face immediately appeared in his mind.
...In short, if what Okiya Subaru said is true, then Akai Shuichi has reason to suspect that Usa and Gin have a grudge, and he said those words to express his personal opinions in front of his subordinates and complain about the way Gin carried out the tasks.
However, from another perspective, in this case, even if the relationship is not good, Uzo and Gin must have had some contact. In addition, if the words "Uzo" are really mocking Gin, it means that this cadre who has never been heard of is actually in the same position as Gin.
...With a boss like this, the potential gains from being "Okiya Subaru" are greater than one might imagine.
After making a simple guess, Akai Shuichi didn't think about it any further. He quickly looked at Okiya Subaru and motioned him to continue.
——The speculations about Ozo and Gin just now only represent the best possible scenario.
Because, although Gin is often the typical representative of "thugs", there are actually many similar people in the organization. Uzo may not be referring to Gin, but may be referring to someone else.
Subaru Okiya looked at the long and narrow "express delivery" next to Shuichi Akai and suppressed his fear.
He continued: “To be honest, I thought the new generation of the organization had changed their mindset and began to advocate more peaceful solutions to problems, and was planning to clean up their act.
"But then I realized that maybe I was overthinking...
"Uzo rejected my proposal for the assassination, and then took me to the construction site next to Watanuki's house when Watanuki was not at home, and asked me to dig down along a vacant lot.
"At first I thought that what was buried underneath was Yoshikazu Watanuki's fake accounts, or something else that could be used to threaten... I didn't expect to dig up a body."
This was obviously a very unpleasant memory. The corpse was severely decomposed, but it had not yet completely turned into bones. It was in the most terrifying stage. Not only did Subaru Okiya dig the body out unexpectedly, he was also forced to stare at the corpse for a long time, and while staring at it, he listened to Usa's friendly threats beside him...
Okiya Subaru was silent for a moment, sighed, and then looked at Akai Shuichi and continued what he had just said:
“You should have read the relevant reports after the incident.
"——A month ago, Watanuki Yoshikazu may have accidentally or intentionally killed Koda Sanae who came to his house. Then, in the early hours of the morning, he secretly moved the body to the construction site next door through the sewer and buried it on the spot.
"Wan Guanyi lives alone. His yard is very large and there are few people around his house. Not only is it not in the downtown area, but it is a bit desolate. In short, it is almost impossible for passers-by to accidentally see the situation of his house.
"But when Uzo took me to dig up the body, he explained the case in great detail from beginning to end... It was as if he had written the script himself."
Akai Hide lit a cigarette and listened quietly. Soon, he noticed something worth noting from Okiya Subaru's words.
He asked clearly, "The target committed murder a month ago and was arrested a few days ago. It's been a long time since then, so it's hard to observe. But the organization has many spies, and Wuzo knows the details of the case. It's also possible that he or his subordinates happened to pass by and spied on the situation... In short, there are many reasonable explanations. Why do you think he 'wrote the script'?"
"Because this is not an isolated case." Okiya Subaru got to the point, his expression becoming serious:
“Uzo may have done similar things before - there have been rumors of this in the organization.
"I actually heard some rumors about this new boss, but I never thought about it before because I didn't think the legend of the organization would be so close to me... It wasn't until a few days ago when I dug up the body and heard him explain the mission process that I finally matched Uzo with those scattered rumors."
Under Akai Shuichi's gaze, Okiya Subaru lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of alarming something terrifying, and whispered:
"According to rumors, Uzo really doesn't like to kill people. But the targets he targets always encounter various accidents - either they are suddenly involved in seemingly unrelated murders and are killed. Or they have psychological problems and collapse and kill others...
"It is said that Wuzo even attacked some cadres, and even cadres could not escape his terrible 'script'. Only one person with outstanding ability noticed Wuzo's method and survived, which led to those rumors in the organization... If it weren't for him, perhaps more people would have disappeared from the organization without anyone noticing."
