Chapter 61 Zero'side
1
It's too abrupt.
No matter how you think about it, Kamiya Aoi's death was too sudden.
The sense of unreality and absurdity did not disappear until the next day when Rei Furuya saw Ethan Hondo, who was arrested for "espionage", in the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau.
Despite this, Furuya Rei still completed his job well - that is, to find out what kind of information Ethan Hondou had obtained during his stay in Japan, as he entered Japan with a concealed identity.
Indeed, considering that Ethan Hondou is an experienced and highly qualified agent, Furuya's procedural interrogation did not reveal anything.
But it doesn't matter. Ethan's own value is much higher than the information he knows.
Therefore, the key point is not whether we can get anything out of him, but what we can get by using him as a bargaining chip in the subsequent negotiations with the US CIA.
Both Furuya Rei and Ethan Hondou were very clear about this.
The questions and answers between the two were filled with tacit understanding and ambiguous perfunctory responses.
As soon as the procedure was over, Fūya Rei stood up and left with an expressionless face.
"I thought you were going to ask me why I killed him."
As if he simply wanted to talk about something else during the interrogation, Ethan Hondou said this to Furuya Rei who was about to leave the room.
But for Rei Furuya, this was absolutely a provocation.
The blond young man in a steel-gray suit had a blank expression on his face and glanced at him coldly. He then remained silent, without giving Ethan even a single word of answer, and walked straight out the door.
With his back to him, Ethan Bendon said, "You should know that even if I don't do anything, he won't fall into the hands of you police."
When the man said this, his tone was very calm and steady.
Because what he said was indeed an irrefutable fact - Kamiya Aoi was fearless and not afraid of being arrested by the police who arrived at the scene - Furuya Rei naturally knew this very well.
Otherwise, he would not have replied "You'd better not do that" when Shen Youkui asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
However, even if Furuya Rei is aware of these facts, it does not mean that Ethan Hondou can deliberately bring them up again and again.
He was shaking him.
Just as the Japanese Public Security Bureau wanted to get something from Isen Hondou, Isen Hondou, who was representing the CIA at this time, also wanted to get something from Furuya Rei.
For example, where was the secret information that Shen Youkui used the crawler virus to grab stored? Did the various software programs he used also fall into the hands of the Japanese police?
For this reason, he used words to anger Furuya Rei, who obviously had a special relationship with Kamiya Aoi, and to shake him, hoping to find the information he wanted in the few words he revealed in anger.
Ethan is worthy of his identity and position. Even as a prisoner, he still tries his best to obtain intelligence.
This time, all he got in return was silence from the blond young man.
Perhaps realizing that such a method would have no effect on Furuya Rei, Ethan Hondou fell silent.
A few seconds later, just as Furuya Rei's hand touched the door handle, Ethan Hondou asked one last question:
"When you infiltrated the Black Organization, what mission did the Japanese Public Security Bureau give you?"
This question was really abrupt and strange, and extremely offensive - he himself could not answer the question "What is the mission given to him by the FBI", but he actually asked Furutani Rei, who did not share the same political stance.
Even in the Black Organization, undercover agents from different countries have never worked together in a friendly manner.
Even though they were both undercover agents, they were never companions.
Fūya Rei kept walking, and the door of the interrogation room opened and closed with a "click" sound in his hands.
Silence returned to the room.
Outside the door, Yuya Kazami, wearing black-framed glasses, held a laptop with a serious expression. When he saw Rei Furuya coming out, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Furuya, the US Embassy issued a condemnation statement, accusing us of detaining foreign businessmen without reason... demanding the immediate release of Ethan Hondou, and is now negotiating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Ethan has been detained for more than sixteen hours on charges of espionage.
I don’t know what Emori Hondou did in the end. Maybe it was Mizuno Renna, who is still missing, who did something. In any case, almost as soon as Emori Hondou was arrested, the U.S. Embassy in Japan immediately took action and demanded that the Japanese public security bureau release him.
At first, the superiors did not intend to resist for Ethan.
Fūya Rei was also prepared to not let go no matter what, and to grit his teeth and fight to the end.
But what I didn’t expect was…
"However, the various evidences you reported in advance can fully prove that Ethan Hondou is a spy operating in Japan. Therefore, the Foreign Minister has the upper hand in the negotiations. Mr. Furuya, everything is as you said. Next, the US side will probably take measures to negotiate for his release."
After Yuya Kazami finished speaking, he looked at the dazzling and terrifyingly comprehensive data on the computer screen and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the terrifying ability of his superior.
It is hard enough for ordinary people to be an undercover agent in a criminal organization, not to mention having to calmly and patiently dig out undercover agents from other countries and other intelligence agencies, and also having so much evidence of their actions. It is really terrifying.
Furukaya Rei didn't notice his subordinate's overly active and divergent thoughts. He looked down at his cell phone and didn't receive any other messages.
The mobile phone held in the hand of the blond young man was all black and compact. Yuuya Kazami glanced at it inadvertently and felt that this mobile phone was very unfamiliar and did not seem to be the model that Rei Furuya usually used.
Furuya Rei stroked the phone for a moment, and then asked, "Have the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Sakura-gumi reached a truce now?"
Yuya Kazami put away his curiosity and said in a businesslike manner: "Currently, neither side has taken any action."
Speaking of this, it's really a blessing that Furuya Rei was able to find out the information about a highly respected middle-level cadre of the Yamaguchi-gumi, who is also an important cadre of the Sakura-gumi.
Using this information, the two groups successfully devoted a great deal of energy to a thorough internal investigation, gradually calming down some of the meaningless armed conflicts.
The overworked public security and police officers took the TOEFL test, which gave them a chance to take a break after more than half a month of hard work and to have a short break and rest.
Thinking of this, Yuya Kazami suddenly remembered something and quickly stepped forward to catch up with Rei Furuya who was walking away in front of him. "Mr. Furuya, I heard that the Metropolitan Police Department is reviewing the resume of Officer Jinpei Matsuda these days."
Upon hearing this, Fūya Rei couldn't help but squeeze the small black cell phone in his hand.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this, so it wasn't a surprise to hear it now.
The blond young man slowed down his pace, and there seemed to be some helplessness in his tone: "Matsuda, he is now suspended from work at home for review, right?" After receiving a positive answer, Furuya Rei thought for a moment, "What procedures do I need to go through to visit him?"
Yuya Kazami: “Not yet.”
Fūya Rei made a decision: "I'll go see him. If you have any news, let me know."
Yuya Kazami nodded in understanding.
#
Saying that he was going to visit Matsuda Jinpei who was under suspension review, Furuya Rei walked out the door and got into the car, but he did not start the car immediately.
The blond young man half lowered his face, leaving a golden glittering head in the rearview mirror, and his hand kept stroking the black mobile phone that he had been holding tightly in his hand and had not put down for a moment.
It's not his.
This is Shenyou Aoi's.
When Furuya Rei slowly held the silver-haired boy in the rain into his arms, the cell phone slipped out of the latter's sleeve and landed almost right next to Furuya Rei's leg.
What was displayed on the mobile phone screen was a verification login page. It was not the intelligence cracking system that Rei Furutani was familiar with, but the internal top-secret intelligence database of the US CIA.
I think Shen Youkui might have intended to use this as a bargaining chip. He had planned everything, but Ethan Hondou's actions were too sudden and unexpected.
To be honest, Rei Furuya actually understands why Ethan Hondou ultimately made such a choice.
If Shen Youkui is alive, the threat will be great, but if he can be controlled, the benefits will be greater and more.
With his casualness, he can set up a trap that goes unnoticed until it is too late to do anything. He can also write an intrusion program that ignores the information security barriers of government agencies around the world.
If such a person is not on my side——
Furiya Rei is now certain that the system that the Black Organization wanted to obtain in the previous round was the program written by Kamiya Aoi.
It was just that when he appeared in the sight of the black organization, he used the name of that technology company. With Shen Youkui's technology, he could definitely make him appear in that company without anyone noticing.
As for why Kamiya Aoi did this, Furiya Rei connected the information he got from the previous and current rounds and analyzed it. He suspected that Kamiya Aoi's target of revenge was not only the bomber, but also the Black Organization.
This guess about Rei Furuya was already vaguely made in the previous week when he saw the member information revealed by Kamiya Aoi, but there was not enough information to prove it.
So after time was restarted this time, Furuya Rei was very concerned about Kamiya Aoi's actions, and took the lead in investigating the whereabouts of the bomber.
——As a result, the whereabouts of the bomber are unknown and he is suspected to have been covered up by someone.
This is a very important clue.
This means that the reason why Kamiya Aoi retaliated together with the Black Organization was because when he was tracking the whereabouts of the bomber, he found evidence that the latter was protected by the Black Organization.
If this is not the case, then how could a bomber who has no knowledge of computer technology hide his tracks for several years under the terrifying tracking of Shen Youkui?
Look at those other undercover agents whose identities were easily discovered by Shen Youkui and who fell into the trap - this bomber can't be more powerful than the undercover agents who have the support of the state machinery behind them, right?
The only explanation is that the person hiding the bomber's traces is someone in the Black Organization. Since they are in the same organization, they are more or less aware of CR's movements and abilities. They also understand that no matter how terrifying CR's tracking technology is, it will be greatly reduced without the support of the network.
Knowing this "weakness", we can directly arrange people to go to the countryside where communication is not well developed.
Not to mention hiding for a few years, even hiding for more than ten years is possible.
Lifting the blinds and looking at himself in the rearview mirror, Fūya Rei pursed his lips tightly and started the car with an expressionless face.
Now, Fūya Rei is extremely eager to know what exactly Kamiya Aoi found out that made him act so extremely crazy in the end.
But... this time, Kamiya Aoi's behavior was very different from the last time. Furuya Rei tried to influence Kamiya Aoi's behavior with the mentality of saving her, but in the end, not only did he fail to do anything, he also seemed to have buried a very important clue.
Damn...!
However, in the final analysis, these thoughts are just his wishful guesses.
If Kamiya Aoi could survive... if Kamiya Aoi was not killed by Ethan Hondou... all the doubts would have been answered!
The car had already started, but Rei Furuya still didn't step on the accelerator and drove away from the parking space.
The blond young man looked into his own eyes through the rearview mirror again.
Now that it has happened once...why can't it happen again?
Rei Furuya knew very well that theoretically this was impossible.
But he had already experienced two restarts of time...so, thinking about the arrival of a third restart of time was not some unrealistic fantasy, right?
Deep down, knowing that this was ridiculous, Rei Furuya started his car and drove to the home of Jinpei Matsuda, who was currently under suspension for investigation.
The journey was smooth and nothing happened.
It was hard to tell whether he was disappointed with the quietness of the journey. After parking the car, Furuya Rei walked down the car with an expressionless face, took a few steps forward and rang the doorbell of Matsuda Jinpei's house.
After a few seconds, the door opened from the inside.
Fūya Rei slowly raised his head, and at that moment, his entire body seemed to be silent for a moment.
The feeling came too quickly and disappeared even faster, in no longer than the blink of an eye.
However, when Furuya Rei raised his head again, the person who appeared in front of him was not his good friend Matsuda Jinpei.
Instead, it was a face full of coldness, indifference, and deep features - Gin.
The person who appeared in front of Furuya Rei was actually Gin!
The blond young man still had one hand half-raised to knock on the door, but after the scene changed, he now held the door handle with one hand.
——Time actually restarted again.
In response to this, the experienced Rei Furuya quickly adjusted his expression, looked at Gin quietly, and did not speak rashly.
The man with silver hair draped behind him and wrapped in a black windbreaker looked at Furuya Rei calmly and said, "I have arranged a new partner for you. Go meet him now."
After Gin finished speaking, he once again looked at Furuya Rei with a cold and slightly scrutinizing gaze. It was unknown what he was thinking of, and he immediately added:
"This time, our partners are different. Don't try to replace them like the mystics did."
This sentence sounds very familiar.
Furiya Rei immediately found the time point corresponding to this sentence from his memory -
At the beginning when nothing had changed, to put it simply, before the first time restart, Rei Furuya was trusted and returned to Japan from the United States.
That night Gin came to him and told him that Bourbon, who had always pursued mysticism and had no partner, would become a thing of the past.
The person who inexplicably landed in the position of partner of Furuya Rei was none other than Kamiya Aoi, codenamed "Resurrection No. 2".
"Of course I won't ask him to leave. But if he doesn't want to, I don't think I can stop him from not wanting to work with me."
Furiya Rei tightened his grip on the doorknob slightly, complaining lightly with a hint of dissatisfaction and resistance, but in fact, he began to feel nervous after figuring out the timing of the restart.
"Then just pray that he doesn't think that."
Gin left this ambiguous sentence and turned away. Vodka was waiting beside him like his shadow.
Furugaya Rei stood there for a while, then slowly closed the door.
Will the person I'm going to meet next be... Shen You Aoi?
