Chapter 26 The First Player

Passetto exhaled and did not respond to what Furuya Rei said. Instead, he said, "I don't care why you betrayed the organization, Bourbon, but let me remind you that the fate of a traitor who is discovered is not good."

"So, are you guys coming in with me?"

Asahina was eager to try: "Can we go in together? I have never been to Hong Kong Hei."

Furutani Ling grabbed him and said, "Forget it... There's no need to meet with Dr. Mori. I believe it would be smoother for you, Pasetto, to act alone in the port mafia, right?"

"I think Canada and I should not go in. It might be more convenient for you to stay in the dark. Why don't we just wait at your residence in Hong Kong? What do you think?"

Asahina let out a disappointed “Ah.”

...Is it because the recorder is in his hand, or do they really believe that he has completely betrayed? Are they afraid that he will contact the Hong Kong underworld and arrest them, or do they know that he is not completely safe inside the Hong Kong underworld? Or are they afraid of what Canada will do?

Wait, if he is really an undercover police officer, there must be other undercover police officers inside the Hong Kong underworld, right?

Unable to stop analyzing and thinking of a bunch of possibilities, Pasetto pressed his temples and waved his hand casually: "It's up to you."

And behind Pasetto, where he didn't notice, Furuya Rei and Asahina exchanged a secret look.

Asahina: "Wow... He actually didn't do anything, but turned against me? Zero, you are amazing! From now on, I will do whatever you say!"

Furuya Rei: "It's just a simple double act, plus a little bit of gambling... I'm lucky, I won the bet. Let's go."

He wanted to destroy the reconciliation between the Port Mafia and the organization - although he didn't really believe that a simple "hello" and a little doctor could influence the leader of the Port Mafia, he was always more accustomed to preparing for the worst. After thinking about it, it was impossible to kill Mori Ogai or Pasetto, so he could only start with Pasetto.

Furiya Ling didn't know Pasetto that well, but he could see that Pasetto was an extremely cautious and suspicious person, and he would avoid "head-on combat" if possible - which was understandable, since this guy was an intelligence agent with average skills and was afraid of death.

He had lied about Pasetto still having a connection with the Takase Society. If Pasetto really asked him to produce the so-called "evidence", he would be completely helpless...

Moreover, he was not sure who Cointreau trusted more between him and Pasetto, given the level of protection Cointreau had given him before; he also did not know whether Pasetto had a backup plan. Even if the two of them had the advantage in numbers, they still did not stand a good chance of winning.

But when Kazuma put the idea of ​​"joining forces to deal with Bourbon" in front of Passeto... in fact, he was only given two options: either join forces with Canada to deal with Bourbon, or follow Bourbon's instructions and be "forced" to betray the organization. There was no other way.

Judging from his personality, the possibility of choosing the second path is far greater than the first - one is to deal with Bourbon, the other is to deal with Canada. In addition, he is also more likely to guess what "Bourbon" is thinking from Kazuma's words and attitude, as well as the vague uneasiness and rejection that Passito showed as he got closer to Gangkuro on the road... In short, Furuya Rei is 80% sure that he will agree.

As for the remaining 20% ​​chance of failure... in short, it's still worth a gamble.

That's all they can do.

Fortunately, the result was good, he won the bet. So did Kazuma.

After bidding farewell to Furuya Rei and Asahina, Pasetto instantly changed his facial expression and walking pace, and stepped into the building of Ganghei.

When he stepped into the building, he looked like an ordinary, perfect office worker who had worked for seven or eight years and looked tired.

"Hey, Imai-kun, good afternoon! Didn't you say you took a day off today? Why are you here in the afternoon?"

Colleagues from the same group who passed by waved to him in surprise.

Passetto's alias in the Hong Kong underworld is "Imai Akito". Hearing this, he raised his head and naturally gave him a tired smile: "Ah, because I suddenly remembered that a document was filed incorrectly, and there were a few places in the document that I forgot to deal with before. But the document is said to be needed before tomorrow... So I hurried back, and I don't know if the document is still here."

"Ah... in this case there is nothing we can do."

His colleague gave him a sympathetic look in return: "Originally, it's not that easy to get these days off. It's said that the mother of a staff member in the neighboring department fell seriously ill two days ago, and he had to use up half a month's vacation that he had saved to get these two days off. It was his superior who specially approved it because he was filial."

The Hong Kong underworld was in a turbulent period during this period. The old leader's personality became more and more violent and erratic, causing panic among the Hong Kong underworld. Coupled with yesterday's incident, the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.

Pasetto sighed with a sad face: "Ah, I can only say that I have bad luck... Forget it, I will go and find where I put the document."

After saying goodbye to his colleagues, Pasetto naturally walked into a closed room and hid inside.

In Hong Kong underworld, all intelligence personnel's work rooms are closed. They are not allowed to enter or leave at will, nor can they search at will.

Although he has a little suspicion that his undercover identity has been discovered, to be honest, this suspicion has existed for him since the day he entered the Hong Kong underworld - thank God there are no people with special abilities in the Hong Kong underworld who can see what is in people's minds, otherwise he would have died long ago.

He is even safer now because he has some leverage over his current boss.

So in the absence of any evidence or definite clues, it was still safe for him to stay here - in the current Hong Kong underworld, the possibility of dying if you wander around is much higher than staying in a specific place. No wonder he would guess whether the old leader was about to die.

As for Mori Owl, the leader's only doctor, he was actually quite easy to find.

The places where he often moves are actually very fixed, in front of the leader and in the infirmary, two points and one line are very easy to find. But no matter which of these two places, they are all strictly protected. Of course, the heavy protection outside the forest gull... Who knows if it is a kind of "surveillance" and threat from the leader?

Of course, at the moment, Pasetto is not going to look for him.

And the authority of a mere doctor like Sen Ou is not enough to find him, right?

Three hours later.

The top floor of the Gangkuro headquarters building.

This place has always been a place where only the leader and his most trusted members can set foot, and the members guarding here are all the best and most loyal members of the Hong Kong underworld. Without the leader's order, no one can walk out of here intact.

At this moment, in the room that belonged exclusively to the leader, there were three people standing there.

There were only two adult men among them, and a child who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

One of the two adults was holding a pen and paper, as if he was writing something down, but there was no movement at all; the other one was wearing a white coat and looked like a famous doctor. Neither of them was the leader - it would be better to say that the leader was lying on the bed with his eyes open.

The doctor in a white coat slowly wiped the blood off the scalpel, turned around and gave a gentle smile to the other two people in the room: "Unfortunately, the leader passed away during the treatment, and before he died, he passed the position of leader to me... Imai-kun and Dazai-kun are both notaries. What do you think, Imai-kun?"

The weather today is really nice... Dusk is truly the devil's hour.

Imai Akito——Pasetto held the recorder disguised as a normal writing pen stiffly in his hand.

Even if he had a hundred courages, he could not have imagined what he was seeing now.

Mori Ogai was actually murdering the leader, and he was a witness... How dare he, an ordinary doctor, do this? !

"Is this the deal between you and Cointreau, Dr. Mori?" He showed a miserable smile, and his tone was extremely stiff: "I really didn't realize that you, Dr. Mori, had such great ambitions?"

...Shit, what is he talking about? Use your brain! What can you say now that will keep him alive? ?

However, his mouth continued to open and close without paying attention to his master's thoughts as he continued to speak: "Is this really okay? Such wounds don't look like they were caused by an 'accident'. Did you, Mr. Mori, learn medicine on your own?"

Mori Ogai was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly: "Ah, it is true that some of it was self-taught from medical books, but my medical skills are pretty good. It doesn't seem like an accident, as long as other people know that it is indeed an accident, it is enough."

"But Imai-kun is really hard to find, and it's really hard to do business with Coindo-kun... But this also makes me believe in Imai-kun's ability even more. I believe Imai-kun will work hard to cooperate with me, right? Please also tell Coindo-kun that our Port Mafia will follow the leader's will and continue to maintain friendly relations with the others."

Pasetto nodded.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little cold.

It all makes sense.

He thought calmly in his mind, gnashing his teeth and repeating the name of Cointreau a hundred or eighty times.

Cointreau, Cointreau... Cointreau! He is such a fucking bastard! !
