Chapter 224

Hoshikawa and Mingzao had expected that Toru Amuro would know about the relationship between him and Momotani, and would even find a chance to test their positions and ideas. He even planned to find a suitable opportunity to personally discuss cooperation with Toru Amuro. However, he did not expect that after Toru Amuro knew about this, the way he tested him would be so intimidating, so... rough and direct?

Anyway, after being stunned, Hoshikawa Kazuaki was choked by his own saliva. He didn't care that Bourbon's fierce face, Amuro Toru, was still waiting for his answer, so he bent down and started coughing. In order to avoid contaminating the food he was processing, Hoshikawa Kazuaki even turned around on purpose and faced the notorious intelligence expert Bourbon's test with his side.

However, coincidentally, it was this well-timed cough that broke the dangerous and tense atmosphere just now, and the atmosphere that was most suitable for threatening words deliberately created by Amuro Toru disappeared in an instant.

Amuro Toru saw that Hoshikawa and Akira were coughing so hard that their faces turned red, and a sense of helplessness flashed through his mind. From his angle, he could just see the profiles of Hoshikawa and Akira, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see that Hoshikawa and Akira were not deliberately using this method to avoid questioning. However, because of this, Amuro Toru found the situation even more difficult.

So, is this kid really lucky or unlucky? He managed to escape by such a coincidence. Do I really have to use more radical methods to scare him? He's just a kid, what if he gets scared?

Hoshikawa Kazuaki was scolded a little too hard this time, and it took him a long time to finally calm down. At the same time, he also figured out one thing. Amuro Toru suddenly flipped the table this time, not from the perspective of exchanging information with Morobushi Kagemitsu, but directly confronted him face to face with the position of Bourbon, a member of the black side of the organization!

All of us have already gone into battle to support the red team, but Toru Amuro still wants to follow the plot under his undercover vest? Xingchuan and Ming were a little anxious, but when he sat up straight and faced Toru Amuro's calm and cold eyes again, the anxiety in his heart suddenly calmed down as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head.

Yes, maybe in the eyes of Xingchuan and Ming themselves, the most important thing is for the Red side to quickly exchange intelligence, but for Amuro Toru, he is first and foremost an undercover police officer who goes deep into the organization to investigate intelligence, and all his actions must be based on completing public security tasks. Moreover, as an undercover, keeping his identity secret from everyone can indeed better guarantee his own safety, and it is easier to get intelligence from others.

Xingchuan and Ming can understand this approach, but it is really troublesome to go around in circles like this. However, if he really reveals his identity now, not only will he not gain his trust and get closer to him, but it will immediately arouse more suspicion from him, right? Maybe he will deliberately avoid him when it comes to matters related to the organization in the future.

Xingchuan and Ming sighed and decided to follow Amuro Toru's intentions and test the waters slowly to gain his trust first.

"Brother Amuro, you suddenly became so fierce. I was really shocked."

Amuro Toru looked at him deeply and suddenly revealed a sarcastic smile.

"Why, you still dare to call me 'Brother Amuro'? As an experimental subject of the organization, you know my identity very well, yet you dare to show up in front of me so brazenly and play this kind of game of house with me. You are so bold, yet you are scared by me? Do you think I will believe you?"

Xingchuan and Ming sighed helplessly and had to accompany him in circles: "Because I can feel that Brother Amuro is a very good person, and he is completely different from the rumors."

Amuro Toru sneered, stood up impatiently, and looked down at Hoshikawa Kazuaki, seeming to sneer at his childish remarks. His expression became cold and dangerous, and he raised his hand to suggestively roll up his sleeves.

"I don't have time to beat around the bush with you. If you are really smart, just tell the truth quickly. After all, you don't want to experience my interrogation methods in person, do you?"

Amuro Toru's fingers are slender, but the arm muscles hidden by his sleeves are extremely tight and powerful. As he rolls up his sleeves, they slowly reveal themselves, and anyone who sees them will feel a great pressure. Coupled with his cold and dangerous aura, people can't help but feel a chill in their hearts just by looking at him.

Xingchuan and Minggan laughed. Although they knew he was just trying to scare them, they still couldn't help but worry in their hearts. Would Toru Amuro really do it? Then they would be wronged. Forget it. No matter what, Toru Amuro's professional qualities as a public security officer are trustworthy. They should fight less dumb fans and fight the winery together. Now this opportunity is just right. It is very suitable for temporary adaptation as the first step to promote the cooperation of the red side.

"Okay, I do know that you are a member of the organization codenamed Bourbon, but even so, I have my own judgment. In my opinion, you are indeed a very good person."

As he said this, Hoshikawa Kazuaki couldn't help but recall that during their time together, Toru Amuro always took care of him without realizing it. Perhaps it was indeed due to Date Kou's implicit entrustment at the beginning, but it is undeniable that Toru Amuro is originally a warm and gentle person.

This is not just the inherent impression that the characters in the story gave to Hoshikawa and Akira, but also the reassuring personality charm that Hoshikawa and Akira personally felt from Amuro Toru during their time together. So even in the face of Amuro Toru's cold threats and the cold face under the Bourbon mask, Hoshikawa and Akira were still able to maintain their composure.

"And since the first time we met, Ida-sama has shown his trust in you, right? So you see, even Ida-sama thinks you are trustworthy, so of course there is nothing wrong with my judgment."

Amuro Toru frowned and said casually, "What does this have to do with that policeman? Are you trying to use him to hint to me that if I do something to you, he will cause trouble for me? You don't think I would be afraid of a policeman like him, do you?"

Xingchuan Heming was not frightened by him this time. Instead, he smiled slyly and replied:

"Of course I know you're not afraid of him, but I also believe that the person who could make Brother Ida, who is very familiar with me, willing to cooperate and pretend not to know me, and who trusted me with my safety during that time when someone could come to kill me at any time in the dark, is definitely not a bad person. You know, since I returned to work in the cafe, Brother Ida has never worried about my safety at work!"

Although Toru Amuro kept his expression unchanged, he was actually stunned by Hoshikawa and Akira's reasoning! He never thought that in such a short time when they met, even though the communication between him and the squad leader was so subtle, Hoshikawa and Akira had already noticed so many details that ordinary people would never notice. They were even able to analyze the squad leader's true thoughts from so many tiny details.

Even if squad leader Date has not received undercover training, he is definitely a leader in basic response ability, which he has been trained in the police academy. How could a high school student like Hoshikawa Kazuaki see through his thoughts? What are you doing, squad leader? How come you have been surpassed by a high school student in just seven years?

Looking at Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who was smiling slyly despite looking a bit sly, Toru Amuro couldn't help but admire him. He really deserves to be called the most popular high school mystery cartoonist in recent years. Not only is he quick-witted and clear-headed, but his observation ability is also comparable to that of many outstanding police academy graduates. However, it is more painful to use this acumen on someone who is now on the opposite side of his position, at least on the surface.

Amuro Toru could not reveal the true relationship between himself and Date Kou, nor could he deny Hoshikawa Kazuaki's inference at this time. And Hoshikawa Kazuaki could not miss this opportunity to gradually remove the mask with Amuro Toru and confirm each other's identity as the red party. The two of them stood and sat, awkwardly deadlocked here.

Just as the two were in a stalemate and unwilling confrontation, a child's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, making both of them frown.

"Amuro-nii! I'm here to play with you, Amuro-nii!"

The sound is outside the door!
