Chapter 36 The Man Destined to Drown

After entering the rainy season, Tokyo has been rainy for days. Although it is not very convenient to travel, it is a good time to do things for some people in special situations.

In an inconspicuous coffee shop on the street, Yuya Kazami was handing a brown kraft paper bag to the man sitting opposite him.

The man was wearing a black knitted hat, with some golden hair on his temples and neck. He wore a pair of brown sunglasses on his nose, covering most of his face. The only thing that was clearly visible was his smooth and beautiful jawline, which was enough to show that he had an outstanding appearance.

"Mr. Fūya," Kazami Yuya looked around hesitantly, "Is it really okay for us to meet at this time?"

It has been less than four months since Rei Furiya officially infiltrated the Black Organization. Although he unexpectedly succeeded in obtaining a code name and successfully infiltrating the top levels.

But in such a short period of time, can we really succeed in gaining the trust of the senior management of that mysterious organization and have the confidence to meet with the police here without any problems?

"Ah, that's all right."

The person that Yuya Kazami was meeting in such a remote and deserted coffee shop was none other than Rei Furuya, who was lurking in the Black Organization under the alias Toru Amuro.

"Don't worry, that organization just happened to assign me an important and secret mission," Furiya Ling explained concisely while looking at the things in his hands with a frown, "If I temporarily disappear from the sight of that organization while investigating this mission, it won't arouse suspicion."

What's more.

Furiya Rei looked down at the data, not to mention whether his identity would be exposed. Now he was simply suspicious that Kamiya Aoi wished that he would disappear and run away, and no longer continue to be an undercover agent.

Maybe instead of revealing his temporary disappearance, they would find an explanation for his disappearance.

As for why he was so suspicious——

"Is this all you found?" There were no more than ten pages of information in total, and Furuya Rei quickly finished reading it all.

"Yes." Feng Jianyuya was a little ashamed, "After receiving Mr. Fūya's order to investigate Shen Youkui, I immediately started the investigation."

"Strangely, there is very little information about Kamiyakui for some reason. Even the information I found in the public security internal database is very limited, so I suspect that the information about him may have been deliberately deleted."

At this point, Kazami Yuya took out a notebook from his suit pocket and continued based on the brief notes on it: "So based on the remaining clues, I went to the orphanage in Beika Town that had raised Shen Youkui and conducted a detailed investigation."

"And then? What did you gain?" Furiya Rei asked, crossing his hands on the table.

The advantage of the public security over the black organization lies in their official police status, which allows them to openly question people involved in certain events and conduct on-the-spot investigations. The black organization's intelligence network can only obtain information in a more low-key and euphemistic way.

"The reason why Shen Youkui was sent to the welfare home is that his parents died in a bombing and extortion case." Feng Jianyuya first pointed out a point that was also recorded in the data, and then added, "According to the director of the welfare home, Shen Youkui has always been very sensitive to bombing cases and usually borrows books and newspapers with relevant knowledge. He even used simple materials to make a small-powered homemade bomb."

After hearing this, Fūya Rei's calm expression finally changed. He slightly widened his eyes, and the look behind his brown sunglasses was very subtle: "..."

For a moment he didn't know how to react to this.

"But fortunately, the force was not great, and the consequence was only a small fire." Kazami Yuya said this, and then changed the subject, "The dean said that when the police were called, the information conveyed to them included 'an explosion was heard', so the police who responded that day also included explosives officers."

"After a collaborative investigation with the Metropolitan Police Department, it was determined that the explosives disposal officer who responded to the call that day was Kenji Hagiwara."

Furuya Rei understood and roughly understood why his friend had established a connection with Kamiya Aoi.

As if to confirm his guess, Kazami Yuya said, "After Hagiwara Kenji and Kamiya Aoi established a funding relationship, the welfare home originally kept some copies of the remittance slips, but the director said that Kamiya Aoi took all the receipts away after passing the vocational examination, and they have had no contact at all in the past two years. I believe that the original and copy of the receipts should be in the hands of Officer Hagiwara Kenji and Kamiya Aoi respectively."

"Besides that, no one else related to Shen Youkui was found."

Yuya Kazami closed his notebook, feeling quite emotional.

With such a carefree character, he thought there would only be this young boss in front of him.

Fūya Rei had no idea that his subordinate was making ridiculous comments in his mind, so he took a sip of coffee and fell into deep thought.

If the copy is in Kamiya Aoi's hands, it is absolutely impossible to get it. Is the original in Kenji's hands... Matsuda also participated in the collection of Kenji's relics, right?

"By the way, I called you last time and contacted Jinpei Matsuda, who you said wanted to meet me." Furuya Rei originally wanted to let Yuya Kazami to meet his friend on his behalf, but then he changed his mind and said, "Send this information to him as well. If he contacts you later and says he wants to give you something, you can go meet him."

We can only try to see if Matsuda had seen the original documents when he collected Hagiwara's belongings.

By the way, he can also test whether Matsuda is the same as him. Because he has the memory of the previous round, he can directly contact Kazami Yuya and emphasize that he wants to meet him.

Furuya Rei was sure that if Matsuda Jinpei had the same experience as him, then he would be able to convey this message to him no matter what.

"Yes." Kazami Yuya replied calmly, and then asked cautiously, unable to hide his curiosity, "Um, Mr. Furuya, why do you want to investigate this person called Kamiya Aoi? Are those documents evidence of a crime that hides secret information?"

Yuya Kazami, whose inner unbridledness is inversely proportional to the reliability of his appearance, asks his superior at the same time that his mind naturally fills in that there is an undercover spy hired by evil forces in the Metropolitan Police Department, and that Kamiya Aoi is a key witness, and that an ordinary document is the fatal evidence... a plot from an old-school police and gangster movie.

"No." Furuya Ling was a little amused. "Investigating this... is for my own personal reasons. I want to confirm some things."

Originally, with the memory of the previous week, he knew the purpose of Kami Yuukoi's actions best, so Furuya Rei shouldn't have any doubts about Kami Yuukoi.

However, there are so many doubts about "Cointreau"...it's impossible not to think too much about it.

However, despite this, what Rei Furuya is thinking about now is simply to use these things that prove the relationship between Kamiya Aoi and Hagiwara Kenji to fabricate an identity of "informant" for Kamiya Aoi and send Kamiya Aoi away from the too tragic ending of last episode.

...As for Kamiya Aoi himself, if it is true as the bullet screen says, that it is because Hagiwara Kenji has taken good care of himself and Keimitsu, then he is probably thinking about how to pack himself and Keimitsu up and send them out of the Black Organization.

Now it depends on who packs faster.

By the way, speaking of this.

The porcelain coffee cup landed on the saucer with a crisp sound, and Furiya Ling asked, "Has the fugitive bomber been caught?"

The reason why the guy escaped in the first place was simply because the police did not know his information. Now that they have the name and portrait that I provided, they should have caught the guy who is the culprit.

However, a look of shame appeared on Kazami Yuya's face again: "Although there is specific information provided by Mr. Fūya, but... the person has not been caught yet."

Before the dangerous aura of Rei Furuya could be transformed into actual action, Kazami Yuya rushed to rescue him, saying, "Because the information of this criminal seems to have been deliberately erased! Although, although there is his name and appearance, but... but if he is not wanted, it is really difficult to find such a specific person in Japan..."

It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

The information was also erased? The more suspicious he was, the less he showed it on his face: "Then we should put him on the wanted list. Isn't it natural to issue a wanted list for a criminal who caused two large-scale explosions and killed several police officers?"

"Yes!" Feng Jianyuya did not dare to refute, "I will join forces with the Metropolitan Police Department to issue a wanted warrant for him!"

There are things to deal with one after another, and since the person has not been caught yet, Furuya Rei will not dwell on this issue any longer.

Yuya Kazami carefully glanced at his boss's expressionless and unpredictable face, and as if to make up for the poor investigation in the previous two matters, he took the initiative to start the next report without waiting for Rei Furuya to bring it up.

That is, it is about the matter of Iyama Hajime, the head of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute who took away important research data of the Black Organization and is now missing.

"Iyama Moto, male, 45 years old. His hometown is Miura County, Kanagawa Prefecture. Since he went missing, we immediately sent people to monitor his real estate and bank accounts, and there has been no abnormality so far. However, during the investigation, we found that Iyama Moto's wife had met with Kobayakawa Kazuki, a fellow villager of the two of them who currently works for an electronic parts manufacturing company, several times."

As he spoke, Kazami Yuya handed another brown brown paper bag to Furuya Rei. Compared to the bag that contained Kamiya Aoi's information, this one was much thicker.

"Kobayakawa Kazuki was the person who contacted Iyama Moto during his disappearance and passed on news to him and his family."

Although he has not seen the information sent by Yuya Kazami, it is not difficult for Rei Furuya to draw such a conclusion.

"Yes, you are worthy of being Mr. Furuya." Kazami Yuya couldn't help but praise him and changed the subject: "We found out that Kobayakawa Kazuki is a member of a private club in Toriya Town, but the membership fee of that club is very high, and Kobayakawa Kazuki can't afford it with his income."

His frequent meetings with Iyama's wife, his membership in a private club that he couldn't afford, and the fact that there had been no changes in Iyama's own assets...all together, it was easy to draw a conclusion.

"The Black Organization pays these research institutes a lot of money every month. Iyama Moto must have made preparations long ago and embezzled money from these funds in advance to give Kobayakawa Kazuki to join the private club. He also has another hidden account or cash for him to use when he escapes."

Furuya Rei put away the information and said, "Kazami, check the private club and confirm whether there is anyone suspected to be Iyama Moto's target in the properties under Kobayakawa Kazuki's name. Also, arrest Iyama Moto's wife first."

"Catch it?" Feng Jianyu was stunned for a moment.

Taking a deep look at his subordinate who seemed serious and reliable but was actually a little slow and out of touch, Furuya Rei explained, "The fact that she was able to meet with Kobayakawa Kazuki shows that she must know something. Iyama Moto was someone who had prepared a way out for himself long ago, so he might not take the information he took away with him..."

For some reason, while speaking, Fūya Rei suddenly paused subtly.

Yuya Kazami seemed to have figured out Mr. Fūya's idea and continued, "...So, in order to protect his family, he might pretend to be missing to attract attention and give the information to his wife? I see, Mr. Fūya, let's arrange for action."

Furiya Rei neither confirmed nor denied it. After finishing the little coffee left in the cup, he raised his hand and looked at the clock: "It's almost time, I should go too."

"Please be careful, Mr. Furuya."

Yuya Kazami gave some instructions to Rei Furukaya who stood up.

Wearing a black knitted hat, with most of his face hidden by brown sunglasses, and his hands casually placed in the pockets of his black jacket, Fōtani Rei smiled when he heard this.

That was a person that Yuya Kazami was very familiar with. He was the best undercover agent in the history of the Public Security Police Agency's secret agency in the Heisei era. His boss was codenamed 'zero' and had a confident smile that belonged only to Rei Furuya.

Yuya Kazami felt relieved.

However, he didn't know that the moment Furiya Rei walked out of the coffee shop, the confident smile on his face disappeared instantly. His expressionless face and tense jawline showed that he was not in a very good mood.

No one knew what he saw on the bullet screen that just passed by his eyes.

-

In a simply furnished room in an apartment building far away from Tokyo's bustling area.

A silver-haired boy sat sideways at a desk, revealing a headset on the side of his face, his eyelashes drooped, and he seemed to be listening to something quietly.

Unfortunately, the sound of the rain and the intermittent signal, which might have been interfered by the jammer, continued. Even though the silver-haired boy had adjusted the frequency, the information coming out of the earphone was still not enough.

"Kamiyu Aoi... Orphanage... Fire..."

"Documents...Kenji Hagiwara...Matsuda..."

"Iyama Motoko... the club... his wife..."

"Attract attention yourself...data..."

This information was so fragmented that it was outrageous. However, Kamiya Aoi, who had the advantage of knowing the main plot and discovered that Furuya Rei had a beautifying filter for him, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

Who could have imagined that the biggest obstacle for him to play Black was not whether Black believed he was black, but whether Red believed he was black?

Fūya Rei investigated him and sent people to the welfare home. He might be trying to use his Red Party connections to get him out of the winery.

After all, he was a friend who had helped and cared for him, and he was like a younger brother to me. No matter what, it was impossible to let Shen Youkui continue to get promoted and get a raise in the Black Organization.

Although...he has actually reached his limit.

Shen Youkui silently supported his forehead. In that case, he would have to take the initiative and break the filter that the undercover agent cast on him.

Shen Youkui has been planning this for a long time and has a complete plan in his mind. He has been making trouble since the "Russian Roulette".

First, destroy any documents that may be in Matsuda Jinpei's possession.

This is actually simple. Shen Youkui skillfully entered a private forum similar to the "dark web" through the Internet and set up a commission to "go to 4-chome-16, Beika-cho and steal all letters and documents" with a reward of 3 million.

But that's not enough insurance.

Shen Youkui thought about it carefully, sent a short email to a certain email address through an encrypted address, then got up and went out, raised his hand at the door of the room opposite.

Before he could knock, the door was opened from the inside. Gin, wearing a black windbreaker and a top hat, looked down at Kamiya Aoi who was standing at the door.

"What is it?"

Even in the safe house, Gin's vigilance was still extremely high.

Shenyou Aoi glanced at Gin, who was dressed ready to go to work at any time, then looked down at her own loose home clothes, and suddenly felt like she had learned something.

"I need your help with something. Can I borrow your contact number?"

In theory, each person in an organization has a contact phone number that can only be used by the person himself, and even a partner cannot give it to another person.

Gin's contact phone number contains other secrets beyond those of the organization's members.

Rejection is the only outcome that Shen Youkui will get.

However, the way Kamiya Aoi asked for it openly with her palms facing upwards reminded Gin of what happened in the villa not long ago.

"Huh, you really dare to say that." Gin sneered.

However, Kamiya Aoi, who made no demands, was not thrown out.

A black phone gently landed on the silver-haired boy's outstretched palm.

The author has something to say:

Bug Fixes

— Setting explanation —

I didn't find out what the code name of the guy who died after drinking XYZ in the original book was. His code name was Cointreau because XYZ is a cocktail made with rum as the base, Cointreau and lemon juice. I personally speculate that there is a certain meaning behind Gin giving this unlucky guy this drink.

That is, "rum" is the base wine, which may be the person who discovered the identity of the young man, "Cointreau" is the young man's code name, and "XYZ" means the last glass of wine cocktail to see the young man off ()

As for whether Gin would make such a metaphor, I personally think he would do so after pondering his character. Because in the original book, when his Porsche 356A was said to be still the same car, Gin replied that his car was a German rain frog. The implication and metaphor is that his car looks small, but it is very famous, so don't underestimate it.

So to sum up, the code name of the guy who died after drinking XYZ in the original novel is "Cointreau". This is my personal speculation, not the setting of the original novel. Please don't misunderstand!
