Chapter 221
Matsuda Jinpei smoked three cigarettes in the corridor before he finally came to his senses from the fact that Kagino Satoshi had become a member of a criminal organization without knowing it. He took out an evidence bag he carried with him and put the cigarette butt in it. He then made an irritable "tsk" sound and couldn't help muttering:
"He's a very well-behaved child. Where did his usual cleverness go? Why did he have to be so confused about such a serious matter?"
He was about to put away the evidence bag when a slender white hand reached out from his side and stopped him. Hagiwara Kenji took the evidence bag that Matsuda Jinpei used to hold his cigarette butts, opened it, and put his own cigarette butts in it, while sighing:
"After all, Xiaozhi is still young and doesn't understand how terrible those cruel and crazy criminals are. In the final analysis, it's because we didn't educate and supervise him deeply enough, so he got involved in such things at such a young age."
Seeing Matsuda Jinpei's face turn cold again and he snorted heavily, Hagiwara Kenji put his hand on Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder and changed the subject:
"However, Xiaozhi's handling of the situation this time was much better. Knowing that he was about to lose control of the situation, he immediately found the influential Kofuruya and surrendered. And in order to make his case more convincing, he even dragged the two of us over to help testify. In addition, he has been a public security assistant for three years, so this is the most appropriate thing to do. And in fact, judging from the results alone, Kofuruya has already recognized him, otherwise he would not have left him alone to find out the situation."
Matsuda Jinpei, however, directly exposed it with a cold face:
"What progress? That probably wasn't his idea at all. He must have been at a loss for ideas, so he just let someone else give him the idea. And you noticed it just now, didn't you? When Furuya put pressure on him, he couldn't figure out how to make the trade-offs, but suddenly thought of something and changed his mind. I don't know who the guy who gave him the idea was, and he could make this brat trust him to this extent."
Matsuda Jinpei's expression was obviously very bad, but to Hagiwara Kenji, every word sounded sour. Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, lowered his head, slightly hunched his body, and his shoulders shrugged.
Matsuda Jinpei glanced at him and didn't want to respond. But Hagiwara Kenji kept laughing, so Matsuda Jinpei's face became even uglier.
"Hey! Hagi, are you done yet?"
Hagiwara Kenji then stood up, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his eyes, and said with a smile:
"Pfft - sorry, Xiao Zhenping, I'm fine now. But I didn't expect that Xiao Zhenping would get so angry about something like this. Is he really jealous because Xiaozhi asked someone else for advice instead of you?"
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about, Hagi? How could I be jealous of something like that?"
“Okay, okay, I’ll just pretend I don’t know. Hahaha, jealous little Jinpei is really cute—Ouch! Little Jinpei’s fist is so powerful, Kenji-chan is in so much pain!”
Seeing Hagiwara Kenji deliberately putting on a pitiful expression, Matsuda Jinpei retracted his fist, snorted and turned his head away even though he knew that this guy did it on purpose.
Hagiwara Kenji smiled secretly in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't continue teasing, otherwise Xiaozhenran would really get angry. So he also put away his joking expression and then said to Matsuda Jinpei seriously:
"But speaking of the person hiding behind Xiaozhi and giving him advice, I can guess his identity."
Upon hearing this, Jinpei Matsuda immediately gave him an impatient look, urging him to speak faster, and his eyes became more serious.
"Xiao Zhenping actually knows him, but he's not very familiar with him. He's the long-lost childhood friend that Xiaozhi finally found a few days ago, the kid named Hoshikawa Kazuaki. He's a genius who can control the current situation and understand people's hearts, so it's natural for him to give Xiaozhi some advice." Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile.
Matsuda Jinpei's eyes moved, and he said thoughtfully:
"Is it the child from the orphanage you've been taking care of? It turned out to be him. I didn't expect that Xiaozhi would come up with ideas together with the child even though he didn't even tell us about this. They've only met for less than two months, right?"
Hagiwara Kenji smiled and slapped Matsuda Jinpei on the shoulder, teasing:
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, you've been friends since childhood. Isn't it normal for you to have some little secrets? And Xiao Zhenping just refused to admit it. You're obviously jealous, aren't you?"
Matsuda Jinpei just raised his fist again, and suddenly the two of them stopped playing and turned to look at the door of the private room. They saw Furuya Rei had opened the door and walked out, and then closed the door with his hand, his face more solemn than ever.
The two looked at each other, walked up and asked:
"Why do you look like that? Is there something else wrong with Xiaozhi's matter?"
Furutani Rei shook his head, and his solemn expression quickly disappeared. He curved his eyes, and in the blink of an eye he returned to the image of a sunny and cheerful coffee shop waiter.
"Wow! That's amazing!"
Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him.
Matsuda Jinpei glanced at the closed door and asked with some concern:
"Hey! What do you mean by that sullen face? Is the trouble caused by that brat really that big? Can it be solved?"
Furuya Rei looked at him with some surprise, then showed an exaggerated fake smile that would make Matsuda Jinpei's hands itch and want to beat him up on the spot, and spoke under the expectant and angry gazes of the two people:
"I am just an ordinary cafe waiter. What can I do about the education of such a naughty child? So I would like to ask the two police officers to give this child some advice and not let him do such outrageous things again."
After saying that, Furuya Rei ignored Matsuda Jinpei's threatening fist, waved his hand and left. Hagiwara Kenji received Furuya Rei's hint smoothly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and put his arm around Matsuda Jinpei's shoulders, and winked at him in the direction of the private room door. Matsuda Jinpei immediately understood, and then showed a slightly sly smile.
"That bastard is right. That naughty kid really needs a good education."
After leaving, Furuya Rei once again transformed into the versatile waiter Toru Amuro. When he received a call from Azusa Enomoto, who needed him to help buy flour, he immediately agreed. He calmly squeezed into the supermarket, greeted every customer who passed by, and looked more sunny and cheerful than before. However, in reality, he was far less calm than he appeared.
Toru Amuro was still thinking about the news he had just received from Satoshi Kagino.
As the whole process of Morobushi Jingguang's rescue had been guessed long before, after learning the exact process and the people involved, although he was surprised that Baifu would choose to actively disobey the organization's orders and take the risk to rescue an undercover public security agent whose identity was exposed, from You Kunran's usual attitude and his hidden protection of Baifu, he could see some clues.
As for the fact that the squad leader and the police officer Nishizono Tadahiko were also involved, he had already vaguely guessed it. Now it just further confirmed his previous judgment.
What really made Amuro Toru feel uneasy, and even to the point where he had to buy flour as a daily routine to regulate his mind, was actually digesting another more important piece of information. This was also the real reason why Kagano Satoshi insisted on meeting Furuya Rei with the information even though he had to reveal his identity in front of his public security superiors.
The organization has successfully developed a completely independent artificial intelligence and is preparing to find the right time to launch it into the network. It is also trying to use the whole of Japan as a springboard to begin radiation, until it has the right to speak in the entire network world and become the strongest organization in the world that no one can compete with!
The current strength of the organization has already caused headaches for countless countries. Not only have they failed to suppress it several times, but they have not even figured out all the bases and true strength of the organization. Once the organization really succeeds in controlling the entire Internet, then countries will no longer be able to truly eliminate the organization, and even the security crisis caused by it is something that many countries cannot afford.
No matter what, this must be stopped!
At this point, Toru Amuro truly realized how wise it was to subconsciously help cover up Kagino Satoshi's tracks when he was investigating his loyalty.
This kind of secret will only be circulated among the core programmers who are the most valued by the organization. If he, an intelligence officer who is not involved in the planning of the network project, is the only one to investigate, even if he gets the news, it must be after the incident, and it is too late to stop it. However, because of the research and development content revealed in a paper he had written and the strong ability he had shown, Kagino Satoshi was entrusted with an important task as soon as he entered the organization, and learned about the organization's shocking conspiracy before all the undercover agents.
If this matter can be successfully resolved, then Satoshi Kagino, who first broke the news, will be the number one contributor to saving the world's network security.
So, next, how to resolve this crisis?
Amuro Toru rubbed his forehead with a headache. This is no longer just a crisis for the whole of Japan, but a crisis shared by countless countries around the world. The public security department must not simply suppress the matter and solve it secretly as in the past.
It seems that I need to apply to the administrator as soon as possible and consider how to get the security agencies of other countries to participate in the battle against the organization. However, they can't easily get such important confidential information without paying any price. It just so happens that they can withdraw the annoying investigators who were casually sent to Japan as soon as possible.
For example, that annoying FBI that always shows off in other countries! Get out of my Japan!
Fūya picked up a bag of flour angrily, then gently put it into the shopping cart, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The current situation of the organization is unclear, and I have been under special attention from the organization recently because of my close relationship with Xingchuan and Ming. It is not very convenient for me to participate in public security operations. If the organization really intends to put artificial intelligence into the network to carry out illegal activities in the near future, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to stop it without exposing my undercover identity. In this case, I should also consider exchanging information with Hiro as soon as possible, and I may need to ask him to help in secret when necessary.
