Chapter 116 [The worst outcome is nothing more than becoming the corpses of a pair of mandarin ducks]
"The target vehicle is heading towards designated location D. All teams, please take note. Teams traveling more than ten kilometers away, gather at point D. All other locations remain stationary."
"The main body is heading to Point D via Route 16. Attention, all personnel along the way."
"Did you give her the information Hanamisake needed?"
"We're still investigating. It seems that person is also engaged in industrial espionage. It will take time."
There was order amidst the chaos in the command center, and everyone was busy with their own affairs.
Even Jinpei Matsuda, who was unable to intervene, found a machine from somewhere and started dismantling it with great enthusiasm.
After Hagiwara Kenji paced back and forth in the room dozens of times, Matsuda Jinpei took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and asked, "Hagi, what are you doing?"
Kenji Hagiwara scratched his hair, and when he noticed that he had messed it up, he quickly smoothed it back out.
"I'm worried about Komorobushi and Kofukutani." When he was depressed, the corners of his eyes, which were already slightly turned down, looked even more innocent and pitiful.
However, the person looking at him at this moment had been with him for twenty years, so he was not affected by the influence of childhood at all. He just looked at his friend blankly and was speechless.
"I've already made all the necessary preparations, but I'm still feeling impatient..."
"...It's a big taboo. I know, Jinpei-chan." Hagiwara Kenji squeezed in next to Matsuda Jinpei and sighed deeply. "It's because I feel like I can't do anything here that I can't calm down."
This feeling had also occurred to Jinpei Matsuda when he encountered his fateful turning point. However, at that time, he was still able to hide in the rear and help find the bomber, so the feeling was not so obvious.
Now, Zhu Fu Jingguang was also facing a critical juncture in his life, but he didn't even have the opportunity to help from behind. His skills, knowledge, and abilities were unable to be fully utilized due to various reasons.
It had been over four years since he had escaped from the fateful node by "death", but he still couldn't get used to the fact that he was supposed to be a "dead man".
The most unacceptable thing is that at a time like this, I can only watch my friends face life-and-death dilemmas like a spectator, unable to share any danger for them.
He was determined to become a policeman, even though he kept saying that it was because he wanted a stable job. But in this world, if there is no stable job, why would he risk his life at any time to become a policeman without a sense of justice?
He knew that everyone put him in a "nothing to do" state so that he could take charge when unexpected events occurred. However, this understanding did not change his current situation of being anxious because of having nothing to do.
"...Sir, Mr. Hagiwara!"
Just as he was getting anxious, he vaguely heard someone calling his name. Kenji Hagiwara suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the commander, with a hint of inappropriate expectation in his heart.
The person next to Nanatsuki Koshimizu...I remember she was someone who had returned from the United States. She was working as a courier, helping to deliver messages everywhere.
In the information age, various chat tools have emerged frequently. Because there are so many of them, you may not be able to see the latest news in time when you are too busy.
Kyoko Takahata's role is to remind the responsible personnel of the latest important information.
"What's going on?"
"The young clan leader's clone brought back two people, Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho. Please give us your instructions."
Hagiwara Kenji thought about the title "Young Clan Leader" for a moment and immediately realized it was referring to Agatsuma Sayuri. He also remembered the two Miyano sisters, having read all about the so-called fate that Agatsuma Sayuri had brought upon herself.
Dr. Miyano, whom Rei Furuya has always cared about, FBI agent Shuichi Akai who is undercover in the organization, his girlfriend Akemi Miyano under a disguised identity, and Shiho Miyano, the main scientific researcher who opened up the subsequent fate.
Since Agatsuma Sayuri (her clone) was able to bring the two sisters to this place which has become a wartime command post, she must be going to have a showdown with the Miyano sisters.
"Have the guests stay in the lounge for a while while I prepare their rooms. If they have any other needs, I will try my best to meet them. If you are undecided, please contact me directly."
"Understood." The maid who delivered the message quickly left, and the situation continued to proceed in an orderly manner.
A moment later, the maid returned and hurriedly said, "Mr. Hagiwara, two guests strongly request to speak with you now."
Hagiwara Kenji paused for a moment, somewhat embarrassed, and then agreed: "Then I'll go to the lounge right away..."
"No need, I brought the person here."
The person who spoke was my wife Sayuri's clone, the one who had brought the Miyano sisters here. She led the Miyano sisters into the command room and found a quiet corner without any equipment to sit in.
"They'll need to know the follow-up anyway, so there's no need to waste time explaining it." She said this as she poured water for the Miyano sisters and herself.
Agatsuma Sayuri did not give the Miyano sisters a chance to say hello, so Miyano Akemi had to lead Miyano Shiho to nod to Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei as a greeting.
Kenji Hagiwara glanced at his busy comrades. In this quiet corner, not only did they not help, but they also disturbed the rear command center with the sound of their conversation.
"Okay, okay," my wife Sayuri understood his intention from the movement of his eyes and immediately surrendered, "Then I will just give them a brief introduction, just as a way... to let them see what we are doing."
Miyano Akemi took the opportunity to speak, naturally wanting to bring up the fact that her boyfriend Dai Moroboshi, also known as Shuichi Akai, had been switched.
Agatsuma Sayuri interrupted her in time, gesturing towards the busy crowd and the dozens of computers that filled most of the room. "We are carrying out the plan to save Scotland, and Ley is on the scene."
"...As expected. It's impossible for Ada to call me at such an important time, and he would just say some irrelevant words."
"Yes, we've discovered that another force is targeting us... There are signs that this is the same group that broke into your house."
Just now, Kenji Hagiwara didn't want to speak and disturb the command center, but seeing that the voices over there drowned out the voices here, he thought it shouldn't have any impact, so he also told them the latest news.
"As expected..." Miyano Akemi had been alone outside to rescue Miyano Shiho, so no one had given her the latest news. She still showed a calm demeanor, as if the situation was just as she expected.
Come to think of it, if she hadn't had such a prediction, why would she leave home at night and take the risk to rescue her sister?
The command center was busy but not chaotic, and the clone did not receive the will from the original body. At my wife's house, Sayuri Agatsuma began to tell the Miyano sisters the whole story from the beginning.
The action that affected everyone in the command center was slowly unfolding during their conversation.
In accordance with Lei's "personality" in the organization, Shuichi Akai reported to Gin that he was going to "mutually investigate" with Scotland.
Could this really lead to the discovery of the mole within the Public Security Bureau? Zhu Fushi Jingguang was unsure. The mole, whom the Metropolitan Police Department had failed to uncover despite repeated investigations, was actually hidden within the organization?
If that were the case, they should have found it earlier.
As for what Gin thought after receiving the message, only Vodka knew.
"Brother, what is the purpose of Lei sending such a message?"
In their previous investigation missions, they had never reported at the beginning of the mission. If they did this, wouldn't they have to report every step? Then Gin, who was both the commander and the operator, would be really busy.
Gin chuckled, sipping the wine with the same code name as his own. In a good mood, he explained to his younger brother, "It's nothing more than seeking credit. Ambitious people will become greedy vultures when they see an opportunity, refusing to let go of their prey."
"So, there's something wrong with Scotland?"
"The mouse will always show its flaws," Gin said, glancing at his vibrating phone and smiling even more meaningfully, "Just like now."
It is not known whether Gin contacted the organization's informant in the Japanese Public Security Bureau to investigate after Lei reported the progress of the mission, or whether he felt that there was something wrong with Scotland first and Lei happened to notice the abnormality in Scotland.
Lei's report coincided with Gin's newly released task, which was a good opportunity for Lei, as he was in a good position to seize the initiative and take the credit.
"Brother, is there something wrong with Lei? He was able to find Scotland as soon as he accepted the mission, which means he must have noticed that something was wrong with Scotland before."
Gin pondered for a moment and did not give a clear answer.
To outsiders, Gin appears to be quite efficient at killing "rats," but he does investigate. It's just that the organization prioritizes secrecy over evidence. Sometimes, when there's no certainty, he assesses the damage and decides, depending on the circumstances, whether to err on the side of believing it exists.
If the "loyal minister" was really killed, the organization might suffer a certain loss. However, as long as the organization could remain hidden in the dark, according to their operating model, they could always make up for the loss.
If the existence of the organization is exposed, decades of forbearance will be destroyed in an instant.
"Vodka, inform all code members that Scotland is a rat of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Kill him."
The mystery was solved, and Gin seemed to have lost interest in even issuing orders, and simply let Vodka do it.
Vodka was editing a new order while muttering, "I've always said Scotland was weird. Before Hanamishu joined the organization, he always protected Hanamishu, who was still an ordinary person."
"Brother, Hanamizuki likes Scotland so much, I'm afraid he will rebel because of Scotland?"
After all, my wife Sayuri joined the organization just for Scotland, and now she is leaving the organization because of Scotland. It is so reasonable that there is no reason for her not to do so.
"Just give Hanamizu an order and tell her to kill Scotland within a day. If she can't do it... heh."
A sneer decided the fate of Scotland and Hanamijiu at the same time. After one day, the lovers might become enemies and be separated from each other... or they might both go to heaven and die as a pair of mandarin ducks.
"Understood, big brother."
As the notification sounds of many mobile phones rang out, the codename members of the organization who had redistributed to various corners of Tokyo had not yet recovered from the fatigue of the previous task when the next task came one after another.
And this time, they need to turn their guns on those who are still their companions today.
Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, in addition to the normal staff on duty, many police officers who should have been off work remained at their daytime posts, contrary to their usual practice.
Megure Juzo and Kazami Yuya of the Ministry of Public Security looked at each other, staring at each other.
Seeing that it was already past midnight, Megure Jusan wiped his face, his tiredness no longer concealed.
He couldn't help but ask the silent police, "What exactly are we waiting for? Do we need to dispatch police in advance and prepare?"
Just as he finished speaking, a public security officer came in from outside, quickly walked up to Kazami Yuya, and reported to his superior with his hand covering his mouth: "The target has appeared."
Yuya Kazami nodded, and several public security officers who had been on standby followed the police officers who came in out and quickly walked towards a place in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Kazami Yuya pulled out his phone and seemed to see something, his expression froze in shock. Then cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands moved quickly, sending out several messages in the blink of an eye.
Without even waiting for the animation of sending the last message to finish, he looked at Megure Jusan and demanded bluntly, "Investigation Section 1, everyone prepare."
When he walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department's main gate, a helicopter had already taken off from the top of the 18-story building. Judging from the sound, there were probably more helicopters waiting in line to take off.
All the police cars sounded their sirens and drove towards a certain address.
They didn't know what they were about to see, they only knew that there was an important mission there that made many public security officers stand on high alert.
