Chapter 38 The Man Destined to Drown

Matsuda Jinpei pushed up his sunglasses that were sliding down his nose. There was the email with information about Kamiya Aoi and the login name in front, and a strange barrage of information in the back.

There was no need for the two of them to waste time explaining the situation, so he went straight to the point:

"What new discoveries have you made?"

On the other end of the phone, Furuya Rei, who was in Toriya Town, stared at the door of the private club across the street and answered very straightforwardly: "I suspect he is destroying the data related to his past. Matsuda, when Hagiwara's relics were collected last year, did you see anything like a remittance slip or a letter?"

"Hey, you're really frank." Matsuda Jinpei said with a smile, turning off his other smartphone with one hand, "Aren't you afraid that he's monitoring your phone?"

The silver-haired boy's hacking skills were so advanced that they were frightening.

Besides, wasn't that mysterious bullet screen just saying that? Shen You Aoi is holding a computer and I don't know what she is doing.

"This phone doesn't have an internet connection, it can only make calls and send text messages." The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning key information such as Kamiya Aoi's name in the conversation.

Furugaya Ling glanced at the black box on the front passenger seat of his car. It was a shielding device used to block radio signals. "Besides, he is not always eavesdropping on others."

In fact, it was because there were a few bullet screens passing by his eyes, and the content was exactly what Kamiya Aoi was doing - Furuya Rei also discovered the real-time nature of the bullet screen information.

[It’s so funny, Kui Kui Zi actually asked someone to steal Song Tian Tian’s house! What kind of operation is this!]

[←Don't blame me for stabbing you. I went to steal Kenji's relics.]

[Fuck! I didn’t ask! I was just passing by! Why did you stab me!]

Looking at the bullet screens passing by, public security police officer Furuya Rei said: "..."

Stealing the house again?

"Well... if you put it that way." Matsuda Jinpei covered his chin with one hand and recalled thoughtfully, "I have never seen receipts or letters, but... I remember that I borrowed a few books from Kenji, and Kenji would sometimes put postcards and other things between the pages of the book to keep it flat."

"If there are such documents or letters, they should most likely be on Kenji's bookshelf, in an unknown book." Matsuda Jinpei judged.

Most of Kenji Hagiwara's relics are in Kanagawa. Matsuda Jinpei wondered if he was heading to Kanagawa Prefecture now.

"No need to go to Kanagawa." Fūya Rei, who had received information from the bullet screen, was silent for a moment, "His target should be you."

“…”

Jinpei Matsuda, who was also the target of Kamiya Aoi in the previous round, has nothing to say.

"This kid... where on earth did he learn this kind of sneaky way of dealing with problems?" Hagi's behavior and words might be a little frivolous, but he doesn't have the bad habit of sneaking around!

This is also the question that Rei Furuya wants to know the answer to.

"However, although he wants to steal things from your house, he probably won't go there by himself this time. After all, no one will pick him up." Furuya Rei quickly thought of a countermeasure, "I have a plan, do you want to try it?"

Matsuda Jinpei leaned back against the wall in the shadows and looked up at the sky where dark clouds were gradually gathering.

The rain stopped for a short while at noon, but it seemed to be starting to rain again.

"You said that, which means you are very confident of success. Don't procrastinate. I have gone through rigorous training. My senior who wanted to treat me to a meal came to call you, but now he is almost starving to death on the street!"

“…”

Fūya Rei was a little speechless and held his forehead with one hand: "I don't think Kamiyakui will go to your house to look for things this time. After all, there is no reason, and he can't find help."

After all, after restarting the game for two weeks, Furuya Rei thinks he has a good understanding of Kamiya Aoi's behavior and way of thinking.

Simulating what would happen if she were to put herself in the shoes of Kamiya Aoi, Furuya Rei paused for a moment and continued:

"... maybe he'll hack into you first, use your coworker's phone to remotely monitor your presence, and then hire a random street thug to go to your house and look for the item."

Regardless, Kamiya Aoi's alienation from the Black Organization members hasn't changed much from last week to this one.

What's more, he was going to a policeman's house to find proof of his connection with another policeman, and it was impossible for him to seek help from the Black Organization.

It is not necessary to go to the extent of invading the Metropolitan Police Department just to confirm Matsuda's whereabouts.

"With his skills, he will most likely use the 'crawler' to infect the hacked phone and conduct surveillance." Furuya Rei revealed his plan. "As long as the phone has Internet access and Bluetooth functions, it cannot be stopped. So let's just do this first."

"I will have the technical personnel in the Public Security Police immediately hack into your and your colleagues' phones and implant a response program in advance. As long as the phone is turned on, it will play the recording in the background... Well, use the recording of your daily conversation with others. Only one segment is needed. From what I know about him, as long as he is sure that you are in the Metropolitan Police Department, he will most likely not pay attention to the subsequent conversation. However, for the sake of safety, you can record a few more sentences."

Based on what Furuya Rei has learned about Kami Yuukoi in the first two rounds, each of the latter's actions is extremely purposeful, and once the goal is achieved, Kami Yuukoi will ruthlessly stop paying attention to the follow-up.

Therefore, it is very likely that the recording method could fool him temporarily.

"Oh, by the way, I don't know much about the training of the mobile team. Is there a high chance of getting hold of a cell phone?"

"...No, except for lunch break, mobile phone use is not allowed at other times." Matsuda Jinpei.exe responded for a long time before slowly answering.

So the plan of Fūya Zero is completely feasible.

Although he still does his own thing, Jinpei Matsuda no longer has the prejudice against the police profession that he had when he was in the police academy. When he heard Furuya Rei plan an information technology crime so skillfully, his forehead twitched slightly and his face was filled with ellipsis.

Although it is indeed a plan that can be executed, "Hey, do you still remember who you are? How come you can talk about illegal information intrusion so easily?"

Of course, Furuya Reisaku said: "The best way to deal with a person is to use the method he is best at." Using the other party's method to trick the other party will definitely work every time.

Jinpei Matsuda subtly sensed from these words that the blond bastard's heart might be darker than his skin.

"That's all done. I'll be waiting near my house in advance."

Anyway, the purpose is just to prevent the documents that may be in your home from being destroyed by Shen Youkui.

Jinpei Matsuda thought, if there really was someone who went to his house to steal things, all he had to do was catch him, right?

"Well, if you have anything in the future, please use this phone to contact me, and don't go through Kazami anymore."

The confidentiality of Yuya Kazami's cell phone is really not that high... Thinking about how easily Kami Yu Aoi completed the interference and invasion last week, Furuya Rei couldn't help but have a headache.

Before hanging up the phone, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly asked, "By the way, do you want to make a bet? Bet on when he will make a move and whether he will appear near my house."

Boring!

Furiya Rei would not bet with him: "No..."

Matsuda Jinpei interrupted him: "Are you afraid of losing to me?"

"Tomorrow, I won't show up." He changed his words quickly.

"Then I'll bet that he'll show up today!" Matsuda Jinpei smiled with satisfaction.

Then several bullet screens popped up in front of his eyes again.

[What I'm saying is, stop gambling, you two! Gambling like a dog will end up with nothing!]

[No one bets right, everyone bets right.jpg]

[It’s so funny, Touzi has such a strong and competitive spirit. Oh! She has never known how to write the word “lose” in her life!]

[Is there a setting where these two become childish when they are with each other?]

[I think the total is no more than five years old.]

Matsuda Jinpei: “…”

So, what kind of nonsense are these barrages saying?

…

As a result, he waited all night long but nothing happened. The next day, when the plan was successfully carried out, Matsuda Jinpei, who was waiting near his door and yawning, saw a thin man skillfully prying the lock and sneaking into his house.

Damn it, Zero actually guessed it right, and Shen You Aoi really took action the next day.

According to the plan, Matsuda Jinpei wanted to catch the thief in the act, so he did not hesitate and ran towards his house, trying to trap the thief in the room and arrest him on the spot.

At this time, Matsuda Jinpei, who had bet that Shen You Aoi would not appear nearby, did not know that she was on the rooftop of a building across the street from his house.

Kamiya Aoi was shocked by his unexpected appearance.

"So it's a recording..."

He realized that his thoughts and actions were probably guessed by Furuya Rei in advance, which made Matsuda Jinpei on guard.

Kamiya Aoi stopped looking at the surveillance screen on the tablet, set up the M24, and took in Matsuda Jinpei's figure directly through the sniper scope.

However, game skills only affect the results of his shooting, and he will not be gifted with the qualities of an excellent sniper. Therefore, Shen Youkui only saw Matsuda Jinpei running past through the sniper scope, and then immediately lost sight of him.

"Isn't this just basic incompetence?"

Kamiya Aoi strangely heard a kind of evil smile in Gin's words, her heart ached for a moment, and she chose to pretend she didn't hear it.

The result still depends on his own old professional skills - in the surveillance footage, the thief who had obviously succeeded walked out of Jinpei Matsuda's house calmly with a bulging backpack.

Even when he met Jinpei Matsuda, the real owner of the house, he did not show any signs of guilt.

"He has a strong character, and doesn't look like an ordinary street thug." Shen Youkui said to herself, "This is a bit of a pity."

After all, he was discovered by Jinpei Matsuda.

Matsuda Jinpei, with fluffy black hair and sunglasses on his face, yawned lazily, and raised his arm to block the thief when he passed by him.

"Hello, what did you steal from my house?"

The surveillance screen cannot convey sound in real time. Shen Youkui is hesitating whether to hack into Matsuda Jinpei's mobile phone, but is afraid of encountering the same "trap" as before.

Although he was confident that no one in the world could compete with him in the field of hacking technology, leaving unnecessary traces was another factor that needed to be carefully considered.

While he was hesitating, the tall, silver-haired man knelt beside him and translated word for word the silent words of Matsuda Jinpei from the surveillance footage.

As expected of a pillar character of the Black Camp, I never thought that Gin Nakagawa could actually read lips.

Kamiya Aoi looked at Gin and wanted to ask how to learn this skill.

“Ding Di——”

The notification sound of a new email being delivered interrupted Shen Youkui's hesitation to ask a question.

Gin took out the mobile phone that he had lent to Kamiya Aoi the night before with one hand, and lowered his eyes to read the new email.

"Hurry up and solve the problem here. The Soviet Red Card has found a clue about the mouse."

Soviet Red Card is another hacker in the Black Organization. Before Shen Youkui appeared, he was in charge of network information technology and mobile communication support for the action team.

However, ever since Shen Youkui officially obtained the code name and began his activities, the Soviet Red Card has been flying around the world on vacation every day as if he had retired early, and rarely cares about the tasks in the organization.

Only Gin can still summon him.

"Let me guess, have you found Iyama Gen's wife?" Kamiya Aoi asked with a slight curl of her lips while watching the surveillance screen.

"..." Gin stared at him for a while, "Clean up what you did to my phone."

The implication is that Shen Youkui guessed correctly, but he suspected that Shen Youkui did something to his phone.

"Huh? You're wrongly accusing me of that. I didn't need to do anything at all." Kamiya Aoi finally moved her eyes away from the surveillance screen, staring up at Gin's cold, emerald eyes, and said arrogantly:

"I want to see the secrets you have here as easily as looking up at the sun in the daytime."

The pale and slender finger pointed to a position a few cents to the left of the man's chest. Kamiya Aoi was talking about the mobile phone that Gin placed in the secret pocket on his chest.

However, since the mobile phone that should be in the secret pocket is in Gin's hand at this moment, the meaning of Kamiya Aoi's words can't help but make people think too much.

"Iyama Moto's wife is not the point. Iyama Moto will never give his life-saving chips to others. I have a rough guess where the information is." Shen Youkui said, "Once Bourbon uses her to fish out Iyama Moto, she will be useless - find a sniper in advance and wait."

Gin: "The only thing that's free right now is Scottish whisky."

Shenyou Aoi:?

"Wait--" Shen Youkui, who was full of questions, hurriedly stopped Gin, fearing that if he was a second slower, the latter would really find Scottish Whiskey to assist in this mission.

Gin paused pressing on the phone, and although he said nothing, his eyes made his doubts clear.

Asking the police to assist the public security, Gin, you really think your mission completion rate is too high. Kamiya Aoi thought speechlessly.

"I've already contacted Margo." He didn't explain much, just gave an executable plan.

It seemed that Shen Youkui had already arranged everything, so he didn't need to waste his energy and thoughts on this task.

"Hey, I'm telling you... Iyama Moto's whereabouts are unknown, and the Soviet Red Card can't find any trace of him. It was you who did it."

Shen You Aoi neither confirmed nor denied it, but just slightly raised the corners of her lips.

However, silence is sometimes a positive answer. Gin snorted and put away his phone. "Oh, I thought you liked the guy with a keen sense of smell."

Not only did he accept the other party as a partner, but he also directly handed over such an important task to him.

But now it seems that this is not the case. Shen Youkui has not lost her vigilance and turned into a weak waste.

In reality, there is no magic that can automatically stop the time of everything happening around the protagonist when he is talking.

So Kamiya Aoi and Gin only exchanged a few words, and in the surveillance footage, Matsuda Jinpei had already subdued the thief in a few moves, pinning him down on one knee with one hand behind his back, making him unable to move.

Matsuda Jinpei himself used his free hands to calmly take out the books that were taken out by the thief from his backpack, searching for the "surprise" that might be hidden in a page.

Shen Youkui was also watching this scene very nervously.

"ah……"

When Jinpei Matsuda opened the car magazine with the pages curled up at the corners, he had a premonition in his mind.

But when he actually saw a flat ironed bill of lading with the familiar handwriting of a young dyer in this magazine from Kenji Hagihara, he realized that he had never seen such a bill of lading before.

Jinpei Matsuda still made a surprised sound.

There really is one! Documents proving the close relationship between Kamiya Aoi and Hagiwara Kenji!

This kind of game really enjoys tricking players... There is not even any hint for such an important identity item, and it all depends on the player to figure out where to put it!

Shen Youkui's eyelids jumped, and she directly pressed the call button on the headset and ordered: "That receipt - grab it or tear it up, anyway, don't let that curly man get it."

He held the M24 tightly, leaned over the edge of the rooftop, raised the gun, and aimed at the ignorant Matsuda Jinpei.

Gin thinks that outsiders should not interfere in the operation, but Kamiya has seen too many scenes where Gin's plans to pursue "professional actions" failed.

So he thought it was a good idea to let an outsider take the lead in causing trouble. The person borrowed from Gin was kept as a backup.

The hum of the motorcycle engine was getting closer. The person Gin picked was worthy of the word "professional". Whether it was the sudden approach or the swift move to snatch the fragile paper from the unsuspecting Jinpei Matsuda's hand.

Everything happened like a stop-motion animation, with a frame flashing by in the blink of an eye.

After Kamiya Aoi blinked three times, Matsuda Jinpei, a policeman who was robbed in the street, also reacted. He grabbed the thief by the collar and was about to throw him aside while chasing the robber's motorcycle.

At this moment, Shen Youkui pulled the trigger of the M24 without hesitation.

"Bang--!"

Without installation, the sound of the sniper rifle can be heard throughout the sky.

Matsuda Jinpei, who had already jumped a distance, suddenly stopped, curled up his body, and hid behind the flower bed, looking around vigilantly.

Hey, hey... there's actually a sniper. This is completely different from the situation where the kids are playing around and stealing the house, right?

But why didn't he see the bullet hole?

On the other side of the roof.

"..." Gin said rudely: "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Not only can he not suppress the recoil, he also can't even release the force. When he fired the last shot, the muzzle of the gun went to who knows where.

Kamiya Aoi's face was red as blood, and for the first time she couldn't refute a single word in front of Gin: "..."

How come this "shooting" skill is completely different from what he thought? Couldn't he just pull the trigger?

The worst thing was that his left hand, which he used to pull the trigger, was resting on the butt of the gun, and the recoil of the previous shot was all rebounded on his shoulder joint.

Now I can't even lift my left hand. If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably dislocated...

After the numbness, the pain of dislocation made Shen Youkui sweat a little.

“…”

Just when Shen Youkui was feeling extremely embarrassed, a warmth that did not belong to him suddenly covered him from behind.

Gin suddenly leaned over, with one hand on the edge of the roof, and with the other hand took over the position of Kamiya Aoi that was originally pressing the trigger, and included the latter and the sniper rifle in the embrace created by the shadow cast by himself.

"Come on, come on."

This unexpected approach reminded Shen Youkui of the scene last week when Gin taught him how to shoot.

Just like the decision in the previous round, Shen You Aoi immediately stepped aside to let Ken take over, and quickly loosened her right hand, preparing to make room for the professional sniper Gin to perform.

However, Gin did not give him this opportunity. The man with cold breath pulled Shen Youkui with one hand and readjusted the position of the gun muzzle.

The crosshairs were aimed at the thief who was running away in a panic, thinking he had escaped.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot.

Having accurately located the sniper point based on the second gunshot sound, Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth and boldly stretched out his sight——

On the rooftop of the tall apartment building, a figure with slightly fluttering silver hair and broad shoulders, like a shadow lying on the edge of the rooftop, caught Matsuda Jinpei's eye.

"Let's go." Gin didn't even need to look a second time. The subtle feeling of hitting was enough for him to confirm the target's death. He stood up and raised his sniper rifle.

Shen Youkui breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you would just kill the policeman directly."

Although this is possible, it will slightly affect his next plan. So Shen Youkui secretly doesn't want this to happen.

"Since the operation was successful, those who knew about it should not exist in the world." Gin said, glancing at the arms of Kamiya Aoi hanging limply by her side, and sneered, "This piece of trash looks really ugly."

After saying this, he walked away without hesitation, his steps cold and determined, as if the person who had insisted on catching up with him not long ago was not him.

Shen Youkui couldn't refute: "..."

So he decided to get back at his old self in other ways.

"Margo, it's me." It was a bit awkward to hold the headset in her left ear with her right hand, not to mention that her left hand was in excruciating pain. Kamiya Aoi tried to be brief and to the point, "How are the preparations going? Bourbon should be here soon."

"Oh, so you've already finished it? You're really efficient. Thank you for your hard work."

The communication was cut off and Shen Youkui slowly walked out.

The plan was going better than expected, he thought.

-

[Let me see who is here to see the afterlife again?]

[This battle of wits in the special is really interesting. Although it is a routine of mutual prediction, it is really shocking to see it for the first time when it turns around.]

[Touko's car broke down before, how come it was fixed so quickly? She is indeed one of the money-eating beasts of the Black Organization, hahahaha.]

[I really want to know how Touzi felt when she stepped on the accelerator with sparks and lightning, and rushed over just in time to see the informant being shot in the head by a member of the Black Organization.]

[The feeling of wanting to blow up the winery.jpg]

[With mixed feelings, Gin is being affectionate with Aoi, while Toru is on his way to work. Is this the part-time emperor? I understand.]

[The unit about the Iyama Moto couple is a bit uncomfortable. Sigh. They joined the brewery's research institute because of his wife's illness, and then turned to the light under his wife's advice. The police have found them and can give them new identities and start a new life...]

Having already gotten used to the barrage of messages in his field of vision, Rei Furiya stepped on the accelerator again to speed up, while at the same time using his old cell phone to call his friends of the same period.

Although the bullet screen seemed to foretell only the failure ahead, he felt that the situation on Matsuda Jinpei's side was probably not optimistic either.

Hang up after the call rings three times, then call again - this is a secret code agreed upon between the two people, meaning that the party who takes the initiative to call is in an environment where they may be monitored at any time and can only listen but not speak.

"Failed." The moment the call was connected, Matsuda Jinpei sighed, "There was a motorcycle gang nearby, and there was also a sniper... The thief who broke into my house died before he could say anything. What can I say, it was really a big deal."

Sniper? ? Furuya Rei was also stunned for a moment. This was not what he thought Kami Yuuki could do.

"... Judging from the bullets, the opponent is probably using an M24. He is wearing a black hat and has long hair. He seems to be a tall man. If you have any impression of this person, be cautious."

Because Gin and Kamiya Aoi were in overlapping positions at the time, and both had long silver hair, the dual factors of distance and perspective caused the image described by Matsuda Jinpei to sound like one person, but in fact it was the overlapping characteristics of two people.

After informing the other party of all the information he had obtained, Jinpei Matsuda hung up the phone.

Furutani Rei, who was extremely familiar with the Black Organization's black members, immediately recognized the identity of the sniper from his friend's description - it was Gin!

In that case, the sniping incident should have nothing to do with Kamiya Aoi... Furuya Rei listened in silence, frowning, guessing that Gin might have received some information...

But it still doesn't make sense.

After a sudden stop, Furuya Rei rushed over to meet Kazami Yuya's gaze and asked, "Where is Iyama Moto's wife?"

Feng Jianyu didn't know why Furuya Ling was so anxious, and after a moment of hesitation, he immediately replied, "It's in the apartment in front."

"Everyone, turn off your smartphones and transfer the informant to the safe house immediately!"

As he spoke, Furugani Rei turned off his smartphone and put it back in his pocket, then ran eagerly towards the apartment where Iyama Moto's wife was.

The author has something to say:

There is still one chapter left. It will be done once the next chapter is fixed. The plot of this chapter is a little out of touch with the next one because it is not fixed yet (hope to the sky). It will be fixed and replaced tomorrow! Starting from September, I want daily updates!! I want a little red flower!
