Chapter 177
When Chianti and Cohen finally followed the clues and rushed over, the police's on-site investigation was almost over. The two only had time to learn the situation from the onlookers, and then they realized what a big show they had missed.
Although it was too bizarre that an undercover sniper died in an accidental explosion, both the police trace test results and the witnesses' own eyes proved that it was indeed true. The two had no choice but to find a place to report to Gin, but they did not expect to be directly pulled into the public channel by Gin.
"Before you two reported, Merlot and Baifu had already reported the situation on the scene."
Chianti was immediately furious. "What? Balvenie is here too? If he could have gone there on his own, why did he send Cohen and me away? Was he trying to trick us?"
Bai Fu sneered: "Chianti, it's obviously your own fault. I gave you the relatively easy clue, but you arrived at the scene much slower than me. Fortunately, the mouse died in the end, otherwise with your speed, he would definitely escape."
Chianti was furious and wanted to quarrel with Balfour on the public channel, but Gin said "shut up" to suppress him. Then Gin said to Balfour coldly: "Explain why you acted separately from Chianti and Cohen."
Baifu seemed to give Gin face, and explained, "I have found more than one clue, so I suspect that Scotland is misleading us. Even if it is not, I can follow the directions of different clues to flank both sides and not worry about not being able to catch the person. That's why I asked you to lend me someone, but I didn't expect..." He chuckled and said meaningfully, "Not all code members are as capable as Mello and I."
Balfour deliberately dragged Merlot into the water, hoping to use him to distract Gin's firepower and increase the credibility of Scotch's death. Merlot, as a newcomer who had just been promoted with a code name, wanted to perform well in front of the senior management at this time, and immediately accepted Balfour's praise.
"I shot a rat and wounded it, and followed the blood trail to the explosion site. I was on another street when the truck exploded. With that kind of explosion, the rat definitely couldn't escape. The bomber who was later caught by the police also said that the bomb was very unstable and could explode at any time. He wanted to do something big with the bomb, and he chose that road randomly. So although it was a coincidence that Scotland was killed in the explosion, there was no doubt about it."
"A newcomer not only found the rat's location first, but also tracked it all the way to the first to find out the cause of its death. Bourbon! As an intelligence officer, you didn't even find the shadow of the rat. What do you have to say?"
Gin's voice was still chilling even through the internet, and several people in the channel shuddered at the same time.
Although it was not a face-to-face threat, Bourbon knew very well that if his answer did not satisfy Gin, the next collective mission would probably turn into a hunt for him by the entire organization. He tensed up and replied with some anger as if he had been fooled:
"Rye and I were both fooled by Scotch. Probably because we had been on a mission together before, Scotch was very familiar with our style, so he left behind some suggestive clues that were obviously specifically targeting us. Rye and I followed them, but we were led far away by those clues. By the time we discovered the problem, it was too late."
If it were any other time, Bourbon would not have said a word to explain Rye Whiskey. But in today's situation, he had to produce reasonable evidence and find someone who could prove his innocence. He couldn't clear himself, so he could only bring out Rye Whiskey to take the lead.
Rye Whiskey also agreed with Bourbon's excuse for the same reason. However, some doubts in his heart have not been dispelled.
I should have been able to find out earlier that something was wrong with the clues left by Scotland, but Bourbon interrupted my thoughts every time. It was precisely because he kept comparing himself with me that I couldn't calm down and search thoroughly.
So, was Bourbon really comparing himself with him because he was not on good terms with him, or was he deliberately provoking him in order to interrupt his train of thought?
And Scotland, the man whom I dared not underestimate in terms of both strength and prudence, would he really die just for such a ridiculous reason?
Obviously, Gin thought the same thing. So he ordered directly: "Bourbon, Merlot, you two go together to verify the truth of Scott's death. I need definite evidence. After getting the blood sample, hand it directly to the research team under Baifu for testing."
After going around in circles, he finally got another job, and Baifu responded lazily. He didn't care about the attitudes of others, and just said hello to Gin and logged off.
When Bourbon heard Gin mention Balfu, he thought of what Yukinran had mentioned in the last phone call, that Balfu would help him complete his fake death plan. Maybe Balfu could know about Hiro's situation? But he was just thinking about it and had no intention of actually asking.
At this time, Morobushi Jingguang has returned to Baifu's safe house again. Thanks to his previous research on how to change his appearance through makeup, coupled with his years of experience in disguise, no one noticed anything unusual along the way.
Knowing that Morofushi Jingguang was concerned about the organization's attitude and the safety of his childhood friends, Baifu briefly told him the follow-up situation and then threw a stack of information in front of him.
"The subsequent verification is no longer something you can interfere with. From now on, both the organization's Scotland and your public security identity are now absolutely dead. Didn't you say before that you wanted to sneak into the organization's scientific research team? This identity is fake, and your background is definitely suitable for you to sneak in. It's just that you have to start from the lowest level of logistics personnel, and as for how far you can go in the future, it depends on you."
After working for many days, we can finally finish our work. Baifu's tone is not very good. However, Morofushi Jingguang took the information seriously, looked at Baifu with sincerity and gratitude, and said seriously:
"Thank you very much for your help. Due to principle, I'm sorry that I can't tell you my true identity. But if you encounter any trouble in the future, please let me know if I can help you. I will do my best."
Baifu was not used to someone thanking him so solemnly in person. He turned his head slightly, looked into the void, and sneered:
"Aren't you always cautious and suspicious when you're undercover? Why did you accept this new identity I gave you so easily? Don't forget that I'm a criminal in the eyes of people like you. Aren't you afraid that I'll set a trap to harm you?"
Morobushi Jingguang glanced at him and said jokingly, "Ah, you have to see it to know. But if I join the research team in the future, will I be able to become a colleague with Master Baifu? I am really looking forward to it."
However, Baifu felt that he had punched cotton, which was soft and boring. He replied unhappily:
"No way. I don't want to see you again."
After saying this, he was about to get up and leave. But after walking a few steps, Bai Fu stopped again, took out a key and a wad of cash from his pocket and threw them on the table.
"This safe house is yours from now on. I won't come here again. Also, don't touch any of your bank accounts under your previous identities. If you need money, use mine first. After you join the research team, the organization will pay you."
After saying this, Baifu strode away.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the direction Bai Fu left, then looked at the identity information in his hand, as well as the keys and cash on the table, and sighed with mixed feelings.
Xiyuan's brother is also a duplicity guy. He is a kind and enthusiastic person, but he pretends to be cold and cruel, and regards himself as a bad guy. But it is understandable. After all, it is difficult for a child who grew up in an organization to survive if he does not pretend to be the same bad guy.
It should be said that it is really rare that he can keep this kindness. It is worth it that Xiyuan spent so much effort to keep him. Baifu is indeed worthy of Xiyuan's efforts. It's a pity that he is too defensive towards me, otherwise it would be better if I could convince him to cooperate with me. I don't know when we will meet next time.
However, Morofushi Jingguang did not expect that in the next three years, he would try to get close to Baifu countless times, but would not meet him even once.
