Chapter 172
There is only one day left until Morofu Kagemitsu is exposed.
Baifu confirmed with Nishihara Tadahiko again that he had indeed found a suitable and reliable colleague, who agreed to accompany him in a play and keep his mouth shut afterwards. At the same time, in order to prevent mistakes during the fake death process, Baifu also asked Morobushi Kagemitsu to keep in touch with Nishihara Tadahiko and evaluate the candidates for help. Naturally, the result made Morobushi Kagemitsu very satisfied.
Baifu didn't know how Nishihara Tadahiko had managed to find someone among the police who were all full of justice who was willing to help do something that was completely inconsistent with normal police work and even obviously against the rules. However, Nishihara Tadahiko said with certainty:
"Officer Ida is not a rigid detective. He is very capable and is willing to help. The most important thing is that the undercover police officer who was exposed said that Officer Ida is a trustworthy person."
Baifu: “…”
Baifu understood. This was basically mutual help between colleagues, right? And even if he hadn't intervened, it seemed that Morobushi Jingguang could have escaped from the organization smoothly with his own ability and the help of his colleagues. The reason why he chose to follow his advice was probably because he had promised to help him create an opportunity to successfully infiltrate the organization's research team.
However, what choice Morobushi Jingguang makes is not something Baifu needs to worry about. He only needs to make sure that he can successfully save Morobushi Jingguang from the inevitable death in the pursuit one day later.
After making sure everything was ready, Balvenie called Gin.
"I will be in Tokyo for some time. Do you have any interesting tasks? Yes... Just like before, I will mainly focus on recuperation and conditioning my body... Of course, I won't do some difficult tasks, but my body is a little rusty and I want to move around. It won't affect the work arrangement in the laboratory... OK, I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Baifu's expression changed back and forth between disbelief and unbearable laughter. He never thought that one day he would hear the organization's overworked Gin advise him not to rush to complete tasks, so as not to tire himself out. Of course, Gin's original words could not have been so amiable, but threatened in a vicious tone:
"Your body is the precious property of the organization. If you dare to damage it because of your whim, believe me, I will let you know what regret is."
Of course, Baifu said that he would be sensible and asked Gin to give him one if he had any interesting tasks, just to relax. The reason why he did this was actually just to be able to participate in the undercover operation the next day, so that he could make some moves.
The scope of undercover agents has been narrowed down to a very small area in the top management of the organization. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, no tasks were assigned to the suspected targets at this critical moment.
Morobushi Kagemitsu has been hiding in the safe house of Balvenie these past two days and has not gone anywhere. He has claimed that the whereabouts of Scottish Whisky has been a mystery recently, and even he himself has been out of contact frequently, and no one knows where he has gone.
The 7th came quickly. According to Baifu's information, the organization will get accurate information about the undercover agent today. Having rehearsed various emergencies thousands of times in his mind, Morobushi Jingguang was very confident in this fake death plan. So although he had already prepared everything, he was not in a hurry to leave at this time. Instead, he looked at Baifu with a gentle smile and asked seriously:
"Whatever the reason, thank you for everything you have done to save me these days. How can I repay you for this favor?"
Baifu was about to open his mouth to refuse, but before he could say anything, his eyes swept across the black instrument bag containing the sniper rifle on the back of Morobushi Kagemitsu, and his mind suddenly emerged with the scene when he first entered the dungeon as Hoshikawa Kazuaki and wanted to save Date Kou but they almost got into a car accident together.
After that incident, Ida Kou, who investigated the scene, once said that thanks to the unknown sniper who blew up the truck tires in time, the two of them were able to survive the car accident. But it is obvious that the appearance of the sniper was too coincidental. It was as if someone had known that a car accident would happen there, so they set up a sniper rifle in a suitable location in advance, and then waited until the out-of-control truck appeared, and then opened fire in time to save the two people.
When he was Hoshikawa Kazuaki, he once wondered if his future self had arranged for such a sniper to exist while doing dungeon missions. But since he had never encountered a suitable opportunity, he had put it aside. But now, wasn't the Morobushi Kagemitsu in front of him a sniper whose sniping skills were second only to Akai Shuichi?
Thinking of this, Baifu immediately understood that the sniper who did not show up at that time was Morobushi Kagemitsu. No wonder the serious-looking Date Kou immediately changed his attitude after receiving an email. At that time, he thought that some forces behind Date Kou took action, but he did not expect that the truth was that Morobushi Kagemitsu wanted to repay his favor and ran over to ambush in advance.
Since it was something that was bound to happen, and it was obviously beneficial to both parties, Baifu ordered without hesitation:
"Since you want to repay me for this favor, then on the afternoon of xx/xx/2020, two years from now, take your sniper rifle and ambush in advance on Sakurada Road in Beika Town to prevent a car accident caused by illegal driving of a truck."
Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Bai Fu, with his cold personality, would actually make a request to himself, and the content was so bizarre that it was directly locked in two years. Since it was a commission to save people, Zhu Fu Jingguang would certainly not refuse. What concerned him was how did Baifu know that a car accident would occur at that specific time and place?
Could it be that the car accident was actually planned by someone, and Baifu just happened to know the inside story? However, planning a car accident two years later, no normal person would do such a time-consuming and easy-to-go-wrong thing, but looking at Baifu's firm attitude, it is obvious that he is very sure that this thing will happen. So, why?
Wait, could it be that Baifu planned this accident himself? That's why he knew the time and location so clearly, and his attitude was so sure. However, planning a car accident by himself, and then finding someone to prevent it from happening, is this kind of operation a serious problem?
No wonder there are always rumors in the organization like "Momofumi is mysterious and dangerous, and an unreasonable lunatic". Isn't it someone who deliberately spreads rumors? Morobushi Kagemitsu's expression is very strange, but he still stubbornly doesn't ask any more questions, but the look he gives to Momofumi is more complicated than before.
Baifu didn't care about Morobushi Jingguang's thoughts. He just asked him to cooperate with him to leave some inconspicuous traces at the designated location, and then threw him a brand new mobile phone with satisfaction.
"This phone is very safe. When you escape later, remember to smash the phone you used before and leave it at the scene as evidence. The fingerprints left on the phone will completely match the fingerprints belonging to "Scotland" in the organization's intranet. This is also a very important evidence chain in the later verification."
Bai Fu looked at Zhufu Jingguang with a half-smile, and said meaningfully:
"After confirming your 'death', I will suggest that Gin send intelligence team members to confirm the identity of the deceased again. As I recall, Bourbon seems to be the only intelligence officer still in Tokyo who is qualified to participate in the mission of the action team? I heard that you were partners in the same action team before, and it seems that you had a good relationship. I hope he doesn't show up early and disrupt our plan."
Morofu Jingguang's heart tightened when he was looked at by him. His fingers holding the instrument bag clenched slightly and then quickly loosened. His eyes were still clear and smiling, his expression did not change at all, and his tone was still as calm and gentle as before:
"Who knows? After all, it's something that hasn't happened yet. And you're wrong about one thing. My relationship with Bourbon is not as good as you think. After all, I'm an undercover police officer who has infiltrated the organization. It's impossible for me to have a close relationship with a member of the organization." After saying that, he showed a helpless expression to Baifu.
Morobushi Jingguang skillfully controlled his expression and tone, naturally separating the identity of Yukunran from himself, and at the same time reinforcing Bourbon's identity as a member of the organization. Although it has been confirmed that Baifu is indeed on the side of the red team, he has to expose himself, but Yukunran must not reveal his identity because of his own judgment.
Baifu's words of probing were not really meant to be probing, but more like a secret reminder to himself that it would be best to get rid of Bourbon in advance. Of course, since there had been rumors in the organization that he and his partner Bourbon had a bad relationship, it was reasonable for the other party to remind him like this. Morofu Jingguang was not worried that Baifu would deliberately make things difficult for Bourbon because of this, as that was not something a cold person like Baifu would do.
Baifu looked at him steadily.
There is no flaw, even the curve of the corner of the eye when smiling has not changed at all. They are indeed professional undercover agents who have been deeply involved in the organization for many years! As expected, compared with the previous hearsay and the content simply read from the comics, it is more shocking when you see it with your own eyes, and you can feel the power of these undercover agents more.
This is good, at least Baifu doesn't have to worry about him exposing his identity and causing trouble for him after he is put into the research team. Just like this time, if the insider in the Metropolitan Police Department hadn't leaked the secret to the organization, the organization would never have discovered Morobu Kagemitsu's undercover identity.
However, hearing him say this in person did feel quite ironic. It made me look like a fool for having been so moved by his attitude.
"You don't really have close relationships with the members of the organization?" Bai Fu sneered. "That sounds like something an undercover agent would say. After all, we are all heinous criminals who will be arrested and imprisoned sooner or later. There is really no need to have close relationships with them."
Morobushi Jingguang's smile froze, and he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong. Although he said that just to help You Xunran conceal his identity, he overlooked that Baifu in front of him was actually a member of the organization. The goodwill he had intended to show to the other party in the past few days might have been wasted because of this sentence.
But it was not that Morobushi Kagemitsu was careless, but that what Momofumi had been doing and the attitude he showed were far from what was rumored, and he was not even like a member of an organization that associates with evil. This made Morobushi Kagemitsu think that he should not be in the organization at all, but should grow up safely under the care of Nishihara Tadahiko, and shine in society as an ordinary scientific research genius, instead of being trapped in the organization to conduct shady scientific research.
Morobushi Jingguang was embarrassed and wanted to explain, but Baifu obviously didn't want to listen. He impatiently urged Morobushi Jingguang to check the props used for fake death again, and then he heard the sound of a cell phone ringing. The expressions of both of them became serious at the same time.
Baifeng answered the phone and found that it was indeed Gin himself who came to issue the mission to hunt down the undercover agent Scotland. The content was exactly the same as Baifeng expected, except that he added a sentence at the end:
"This is a group mission. Now no one knows where the rat has gone, so who can find it depends entirely on luck. I'm telling you this just because you need to stretch your muscles, but be careful not to get yourself hurt. The organization can't afford any damage on your part, so don't do anything that would waste the organization's assets."
Gin was as cold as a scumbag, and completely treated Baifu as a precious experiment that could run around freely, rather than a living human being. Baifu accepted the task with a cold face, then raised his mobile phone and smiled coldly at Zhufu Jingguang:
"Rat! The hunt has begun, run for your life!"
Zhufu Jingguang just smiled slightly, not angry at Baifu's anger at all. He just sighed in his heart. He didn't have the chance to explain this time. He hoped that the misunderstanding could be clarified when they met next time.
Morobushi Jingguang ran out of the house, so Baifu reopened the door of the storage room and looked at the bomber who was still sleeping on the ground. He walked up to him skillfully, injected a sedative, and then before he could fully wake up, he took the bomber out of the safe house and threw him into the car that had been prepared long ago, so that he could escape on his own after he woke up. At the same time, he also threw the bomb that he had received from the bomber a few days ago into the car.
Although Morobushi Jingguang was the real protagonist of today's fake death drama, the bomber was also equally important. Baifu stood in the dark, watching the bomber drive away in a confused state of mind, sneered, and looked in the other direction where Morobushi Jingguang left.
Good luck to you, unsung hero of the darkness.
