Chapter 285 Thirty Villains
When they first followed Binga all the way to the vicinity of Hakata Port Tower, Furuya Rei and the others only felt vaguely uneasy. They did not guess that this matter would be related to someone they were familiar with. They only thought that Binga would come to meet the mastermind behind the scenes, or Sharon, whose identity had already been exposed by them.
But when they got close to this place, they easily discovered that something was wrong around them. The observation deck on the Hakata Port Tower, which usually lit up at night, was now completely dark, and they could vaguely see a few dissatisfied tourists around.
After we approached and talked to them, we found out that someone had reserved the observation deck not long ago, and now all tourists are prohibited from going there.
It was simply like having a sign above their heads that read [The dangerous people you are looking for are here]. If you say they were arrogant, they knew how to clear the area; if you say they were low-key, they actually cleared the area with great fanfare.
Is there really nothing wrong with such an organization?
After confirming again and again that the car carrying Binga was indeed parked nearby, and after inquiring from the surroundings, he found out that a man with a very conspicuous cornrowed hairstyle had entered the tower not long ago. Morobushi Kagemitsu, who had been in contact with Officer Takeda, sent him the address of the place and attached a photo they had secretly taken of Binga getting into the car as proof.
Although it was unclear whether Officer Takeda could catch up, they couldn't just go home after coming here, right? The five troublemakers in the police academy looked at each other, and reached a consensus with the same eager expressions.
Follow and see!
Of course, they felt depressed about this decision for a while afterwards, but it was not that they regretted following him. If they had not followed him to the observatory, they would not have run into the scene of Binga's suicide, and they would not have had such a subtle conversation with Chijiang Nayue who was not supposed to be there at all.
Everyone, including Rei Furuya, believed that if they had not followed to the observatory, they would definitely regret it when they later heard about Binga's death from other people.
Rather, some of them have begun to regret it.
"Is there any misunderstanding?" Hagiwara Kenji said this and he felt that his voice sounded a little flustered and nervous. "Enemy or something, don't make such jokes at this time, Xiaonanyue?"
"So don't call me that... Never mind, it's up to you guys." Chijiang Nayue, who was talking to them with a stranger's face, sighed and waved her hand indifferently.
Although there was a smile between his eyebrows, they felt that he was even colder than before: "Hmm? Could it be that you were the one who eavesdropped on our conversation outside the door at that time, Kenji-kun? You came here to find the 'mastermind' in the first place."
Chijiang Nayue raised her chin towards the man whose head had turned into a pool on the ground, then leaned back casually against the railing.
"As you can see, I am the one who controlled everything that happened - well, you should have known it was 'Kaluya'." The man smiled, "Then again, there is nothing surprising about this, after all, I said from the beginning - 'In fact, the murderer is really me', I even said this twice, and now it's the third time."
"There's nothing to be astonished about, officers," he repeated.
Just as Akae Nazuki said, when he saw him appear in front of Binga, everything came together in Furuya Rei's mind. He even remembered that when Akae Nazuki first came to Hakata, he said "There is some work to be done here", and the other party never concealed the relationship between him and Sharon from them from beginning to end.
Furuya Rei is not stupid. When he was with Adam, he certainly did not focus on the identity of the place as a gigolo parlor. Instead, he could not help but think about another thing: how could such a shop be kept "peaceful and law-abiding" in the chaotic Hakata? Even the police's first reaction after learning about the incident was that another big gang was going to take action...
And the former manager who Akae Nazuki said made many mistakes.
What Furutani Rei was originally concerned about was the determined tone of Akae Nazuki at that time. He wanted to know why Akae Nazuki was so sure that the former manager and the organization the former manager joined would not cause any trouble?
The answer now seems very simple, because the backer behind Adam is Sharon Wynyard, and the backer behind Sharon is the mysterious black organization that they only know a few code names of so far.
Chijiang Nayue, it seemed, no, what he said just now was actually admitting that he was also a member of that mysterious organization, and it seemed that he was a core member with a much higher status than Binga.
Fūya Rei had a lot of questions to ask, especially when he found that his childhood friend became inexplicably distraught because of those words, he felt confused for a while.
In fact, judging from what Akae said, they are just in different positions now, and are far from being enemies... After all, they were serious about making friends before, and Furuya Rei himself didn't feel very good in his heart, and always felt like he was being deceived.
The problem is that after careful recollection, he found that although Chi Jiang Na Yue had never said it directly, the other party had indeed never lied to them and had readily admitted it several times. It was just that they took it for granted that the other party was joking, which led to the current embarrassing situation.
...I can't get angry at all, I just feel a little depressed. This is the current mood of Rei Furuya.
But! Why do Hiro and Matsuda look so shocked and unbelievable? They have only known each other for more than half a month. It can't be that Hiro and his friends excluded him and secretly formed a group with Akae, and cultivated a deep friendship with Akae... It shouldn't be!
Furiya Rei was completely puzzled and had a ridiculous illusion that he was being isolated.
The observation deck was very quiet. The few people who came up later were all speechless. No one spoke first to burst the false peace. However, the smell of blood lingering in the nose became stronger and stronger, gradually reaching a point that could not be ignored.
They all saw that the man shot himself, and they did not think that Akae Nazuki killed Binga, but they could not help but think of the conversation Hagiwara had heard before, and they could not help but wonder if Akae Nazuki had also pushed Binga's death. It seemed that he had.
The man who admitted the name of the murderer just stood there and looked at them very calmly. There was no panic on his face as if he had been exposed, nor was there any tension as if he had done something wrong. He just looked at them with a matter-of-fact expression and a faint smile, as if he had made up his mind about something.
What are you sure of? Are you sure that even if they know his identity, they can't do anything to him?
"I say, you actually remember everything, right? "Furugaya Rei suddenly heard Matsuda Jinpei ask this in a very serious tone.
"I don't understand—"
"Including that time, you have lied to me countless times that you are the murderer. You have probably said this to other people many times as well." Matsuda Jinpei interrupted Akae Natsuki's excuses.
The curly-haired young man raised his hand to loosen his tie. There was no impatience on his face. His steel-blue eyes looked directly at the familiar yet unfamiliar person opposite him.
"I will never believe what you said again. Not only me, but also the squad leader and Hagi, we will never believe your stupid nonsense again." Matsuda Jinpei said fiercely, "Little bastard, you better have some evidence to prove that what you said is true this time."
As soon as Matsuda Jinpei finished speaking, Akae Nazuki on the opposite side gave him a look of contempt, as if to say, "What are you talking about?"
"Don't make a mistake. You are the ones who need to find evidence to prove that I'm the murderer." Chi Jiang Na Yue stuck out his tongue. This action was very natural for him to do. "There is no surveillance here, which means--"
He stood up from the railing and walked towards the five people - or rather, towards the elevator a little further behind them.
Then, as he passed by Jinpei Matsuda at the edge, his calm voice was heard.
"You have no evidence, even though I just admitted it myself."
"So, are you going to report me?" Chi Jiang Na Yue asked with a smile, "Now you are the only ones who know that I am the one behind this."
"Or maybe..."
He smiled again. Ever since they bumped into this scene, he no longer concealed his smile, but anyone could see that his smile did not reach his eyes.
"Or in other words, you are going to arrest me in person." The mastermind from the organization said calmly, "I look forward to it."
After saying the last words, Chi Jiang Na Yue left without any regrets, without even looking at them until the very end. They were not far away from him, but they couldn't even take a step to chase him. It was as if their feet had taken root, and they could only watch his figure disappear through the gap of the elevator door.
And Furiya Rei saw it clearly: he seemed to still be smiling until the moment the compartment door was completely closed.
He deliberately told them that he was the mastermind, and deliberately pointed out that they had no evidence to prove it. So that expression was laughing at the fact that they would be soft-hearted because of their emotions and fail to catch him?
In the elevator, Chijiang Nayue turned her head and sneezed, but without stopping her hands, she was sending a message to Sharon, telling her not to wait for her downstairs and to go back to the store with Kuaidou first.
He dealt with Binga first and then Rum would definitely have some opinions, so he would have to go back to find Rum later. Of course, he didn't need to let Teacher Sharon know about this... After all, he didn't want Sharon to see him hypnotizing Rum again.
He touched the inconspicuous brooch on his collar, on which a gem was shining.
[I think I should have filmed everything just now, right?] The mastermind behind the scenes said in his mind with satisfaction, with a mysterious smile on his face, [Great, using this as leverage, Hiro-kun won't be able to keep me locked up.]
[Book] A moment of suffocation: [Let Mr. Zhufu go, Xiaohong! ! ]
Chijiang Nayue was humming a brisk melody, and she didn't look like she was being dissuaded at all.
What's the point of letting someone go? Isn't that too rude? He was playing the role of a villain, and how could a villain let someone go so easily?
So [Shu] heard his savior in the elevator very, very happily say directly: "Don't worry, I have a lot of experience in being a qualified villain."
...It's when I hear you say that that I feel even more worried!

Morobushi Jingguang still had a pain in the back of his head. Even after returning to the hotel room to rest, the symptoms did not ease at all, so he didn't take it seriously.
As a police academy student, he might feel uncomfortable as he had just resolved his problems. However, Morobushi Jingguang received his own memories in that timeline completely, so if he looked at it from the perspective of Scotland, this headache was not a problem at all, and was even more uncomfortable than the anxiety in his heart.
Morofu Jingguang was sorting out his memories. Now that there was no one to disturb him and he didn't have to worry about the organization's hunt, he had time to calmly think about everything that happened 'before' his death.
Therefore, he had to confirm one thing: Chijiang Nayue was indeed an undercover sent to the police academy by the organization, and not a public security officer who was also sent to the organization as they mistakenly thought at the time.
But the more this happened, the less Morobushi Kagemitsu believed that it was Akae Nazuki who exposed his and Zero's identities and caused the latter to be hunted down and silenced.
There was no other reason. Since they were undercover agents of the organization, it meant that Chi Jiang Na Yue knew their identities the first day he saw them in the organization. However, not only did they take root in the organization safely and steadily, they also successfully obtained a lot of important intelligence for the public security.
If it could have been exposed, it would have been exposed long ago, it shouldn't have been exposed until that moment...
Morofushi Jingguang tried his best to keep calm and think calmly, but as long as he thought about this memory, he could not avoid thinking about Kaluya and his final outcome.
He was actually the target of the sniper bullet.
Now, from a third-person perspective, Morobushi Kagemitsu easily discovered this matter.
The person who hid in the dark and shot the bullet was actually trying to kill him, but was easily blocked by Kaluya, so Kaluya was the one who was taken away in the end.
It is impossible to describe how Morobushi Jingguang felt after discovering this. He felt that he was increasingly unable to see clearly what kind of person Kaluya - Akae Nazuki was. There was only one thing he was sure of.
He was the one who killed Kaluuya.
Knock knock.
Morofushi Kagemitsu heard a knock on the door, followed by Yuujinran's serious and solemn voice: "Hiro, you are still awake? We need to talk."
Morofu Jingguang's head suddenly hurt even more.
What to do? When he thought about it, among the five of them, only Zero knew nothing. How was he going to explain it to Zero later?
