Chapter 178
Gin asked Bourbon and Merlot to go together to collect clues and verify whether Scotland's death was true. In fact, he also wanted the two to supervise each other.
Bourbon had been a partner with Scot for a while, so it is possible that he secretly let Scot go for some personal reasons. But it is also true that Bourbon was not involved in the scene of Scot's death. Therefore, although he is suspected, the suspicion is not very strong.
Melo was the only person who witnessed and shot Scotland during his escape. He was also the first member of the organization to arrive at the scene when the truck that Scotland was in exploded, even earlier than Bailey who arrived halfway.
As a new member of the code, it is understandable that Melo is so active. However, as a direct participant in the operation, he also needs the full supervision of other code members.
Gin asked them to work together, not only to supervise each other, but also to clear each other's suspicion. Both of them knew this, so when they acted, they could at least maintain basic harmony on the surface.
However, for Rei Furutani, who is a member of the Bourbon organization and a childhood friend of Morobushi Kagemitsu, his heart is not as calm as he appears.
The person who was hunted by the organization and was suspected to have died in the bomb was actually his childhood friend!
Although Morobushi Jingguang had already informed him before the organization issued the killing order, and even directly stated that the organization's Balvenie Whisky would secretly help. But they all knew how difficult it would be to fake their own death and escape the organization's pursuit safely when there was a traitor in the public security department. Not to mention that they had to change their identities and infiltrate the organization's more secretive scientific research team again.
Even if he was fully prepared in advance, it was a dangerous plan that could very likely result in his death. The internal investigation of the organization, the betrayal of the public security insider, if Hiro had not really reached a point of desperation, why would he choose such a path?
Furuya Rei struggled to maintain the mystical mask of Bourbon, but he was almost shaking with worry in his heart. He knew that with Hiro's ability, there was still hope that he could escape successfully. He also knew that even if Hiro succeeded in faking his death, he would never risk contacting him at this time to avoid exposing his undercover identity. But because of this, he also had no way of knowing whether Hiro was safe and whether he was injured.
Intense worry and fear lurked in his heart, like a tide, washing over and over again the mental defenses of Rei Furuya.
At this moment, Mello had already come over according to the address. Furuya Rei immediately gathered all his thoughts and showed a slightly playful and cold smile of the Bourbon Organization.
"You are Mello? The first one to track down the rat, and the only one who shot and injured him? This year's new recruits are really amazing!"
Although he said this, Furiya Rei clenched his hands tightly in his pockets, and his neat nails almost poked a row of bloody holes in his palms.
"That's really a compliment." Mello gave a fake smile, "Bourbon, since you are a senior and the ace of the intelligence team, how can a newcomer like me dare to accept your compliment. But since Gin has asked us to investigate together, then you will be in charge of arranging the investigation mission this time?"
Bourbon stared at him coldly, sneered, and said threateningly:
"Don't use this matter to bully me. I admit that I was misled by that damned rat this time, which gave a small person like you the opportunity to jump out and bully others. But if you are so naive as to think that you can take this opportunity to climb over my head, then you'd better get out of the organization as soon as possible, and maybe you can live a few more days."
Merlot, however, didn't care about Bourbon's attitude. He just raised his eyebrows and changed the subject: "Why don't I take you to the place where I shot the rat?" After saying that, he got into the car first without waiting for Bourbon's response.
Fūya Rei's heart stagnated, but he sneered and replied, "It's good to go and take a look."
The place where Scotland was shot was relatively remote. Because a large number of police forces had just been mobilized to hunt down the bomber, no patrol officers had come to deal with the scene yet. Large patches of blood mixed with mud, and the wheel tracks were still clearly visible. Mello lowered his head and admired his masterpiece with satisfaction, while Furutani Rei suppressed his inner anger and picked up a bloody mobile phone from the ground with a stiff face.
The phone was pierced by a bullet, and a large amount of blood gushed out, seeping into every component of the phone. It should have been completely damaged. However, Furuya Rei recognized it at a glance. This is Morobushi Kagemitsu's phone.
Was Hiro really injured, or was this just an act, part of his plan? Did Hiro manage to evacuate?
Furuya Rei closed his eyes and suppressed the random thoughts in his mind. Now is not the time to think about these things. Moreover, Balvenie Whisky is secretly helping, and Hiro may not really be injured. I can't panic on my own.
"Hey? Is this a phone dropped by a rat? As expected of Mr. Bourbon, he is really attentive." Mello came over and said with a fake smile.
"Organization Gin demands to see absolute evidence. The organization will compare the fingerprints and blood samples left on the phone with the fingerprints and DNA data in the organization's files. Then we will know whether the person you shot was actually Scotland himself."
Carefully putting away the phone, in order not to reveal the strange expression he could not control when he saw the blood-stained phone, Furuya Rei had to put on a stern face, pretending to be angry, and snorted heavily. Then, without even looking at Melo behind him, he went straight back to the car and said coldly, "Next location."
Afterwards, they collected the blood scattered along the way, collected the fragments of the body remains that were blown up, stole the bomber's testimony, and handed it over to the researchers sent by Momofushi according to Gin's instructions. Only then was Furuya Rei finally able to return to his place of residence to take a break.
He could hardly imagine what kind of mood he was in as he accompanied Mello in picking up the pieces of the body that had been blown to pieces, while also keeping Bourbon's mask intact.
Only in his mind he kept replaying the explosion scene. Sometimes the disguised corpse was blown to pieces, and sometimes the familiar face of childhood friend was stained with the pain and despair before the moment.
He knew that all this was probably fake and part of Hiro's evacuation plan, but his brain seemed to be out of control, repeating over and over again the assumption that Hiro's evacuation failed and he was really killed in the explosion. If that was really the case, then these corpses in front of him were really Hiro's...
No! I can't continue to let my imagination run wild!
Furuya Rei coldly dispelled all his emotions, but this also made his Bourbon mask no longer as easy to use as before. So he could only keep a stiff face all the way, pretending to be fooled by the traitor and angry because he didn't get the credit, so that he could maintain the Bourbon mask in front of him without revealing his true colors.
Furutani Rei knew that he should be thankful that the person who followed him to collect intelligence this time was a complete newcomer. Today was his first time to come into contact with the "bourbon whiskey" in the organization, so he could not find any difference between himself and usual.
However, until all this was over, Rei Furuya's heart was still filled with numb and painful worry. He dared not show any sadness or worry, nor did he dare to let the mask of "Bourbon" be broken in the slightest.
He dared not think too deeply, could not be distracted, and could not do anything unnecessary. He could only wait for a result unilaterally, letting the worries in his heart ferment a little bit. Although reason told him to believe that Hiro would survive, human emotions and worries about friends were real, how could reason control them?
Until news came from the laboratory that the test report came out.
Rei Furuya immediately opened the computer and checked the information carefully one by one. When he saw that the blood type was A, his eyes froze. After checking the entire report several times, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he relaxed and slumped in the chair, exhausted physically and mentally, and could hardly move.
The blood sample on the phone is type A, and the physical examination data in the organization is also type A. The fingerprints extracted from the phone and the DNA extracted from the body remains can all be matched with the data in the organization's database.
It has been confirmed that the person who was killed in the explosion was Scotland himself, and Gin is relieved, so the organization members can finally divert their attention from the appearance of the undercover agent.
However, only Furiya Rei knows that Morobushi Kagemitsu is actually type B blood.
