Chapter 4 Four Ghosts Behind

The criminal was finally arrested by the police, crying.

No one expected - except Amuro Toru and the other two - that the seemingly frail lady would say fearfully, "Don't kill me and I'll give you money," while throwing the prisoner who was holding her over her shoulder and slapping him several times in the face as if her hand slipped.

Afterwards, the handsome private detective who looked like a gigolo also rushed forward and held down the struggling prisoner, saying "Don't lay hands on my client". The police officers who were a little closer could even hear the prisoner's arms making sad sounds as if they were about to break.

For a moment, the police didn't know who the criminal was.

As for Toru Amuro himself, he felt that the spirit behind him that only he could see was more like the real criminal than anyone else present. When he and Vermouth were fighting, not only did the young spirit behind him stand by to cheer him on, he even took advantage of Toru Amuro holding down the criminal and rushed over to use his spirit to go in and out of the other's head.

Amuro Toru swore by his excellent eyesight that he definitely saw the criminal shaking like he had just come out of an ice cellar, and that the reason he broke down and cried while getting into the police car must have been because of this "haunted" incident.

When he looked away with disapproval, the little devil whistled and met his gaze without flinching, with an extremely innocent expression and a sincere tone: "I just want to try if others can feel my touch."

It was only when Toru Amuro had just known Akae for less than a day that he was shaken when he saw the other's expression, suspecting that there was really something wrong with the criminal. Otherwise, he had been traveled through by the little devil several times and would not have felt anything except a little cold.

Seriously speaking, if the person here is the Furukaya Rei whom Akae has known for eight years, the public security elites who have long seen through his true nature must know that they should pretend that they heard nothing at this time. Otherwise, if they believe these nonsense, they will be eaten to death by the arrogant little devil in the future!

Unfortunately, Toru Amuro didn't know, and Rei Furuya had no way to remind him.

After the police had dealt with the criminal, they were about to ask the two enthusiastic people who came to help to take a statement, but they found that they had already left.

The police could not have imagined that the detective and the client, who had just worked together to subdue the criminal in public, would become tense again after avoiding the sight of others.

"I have a new mission." This time, without any pretense, Bermode stated the real purpose of her trip. The female star was lazily leaning on her motorcycle while she spoke. The mask and wig she had just taken off were thrown into the trash can. She held a thin long lady's cigarette between her fingers. The grayish white smoke blurred the expression on her face. All that could be heard was her frivolous tone: "Rum asked me to partner with you. We will leave for New York this afternoon."

Amuro Toru sensed something was wrong and frowned slightly: "Didn't I just finish my overseas assignment yesterday? Rum shouldn't be planning to send me abroad for the second time in such a short time."

"Haha." Bermode chuckled a few times, and it was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or mocking him. "You do know him well."

She had fluffy golden hair on her shoulders. After saying this, she lowered her head and took a puff of cigarette. Then she deliberately moved in front of Amuro Toru, pressed close to his profile and exhaled mint-flavored cigarette ambiguously. She waited until the young man with the same hair color as her showed an even colder expression before she slowly retreated to a safe distance.

Vermode stared closely into Amuro Toru's eyes.

"I thought you would care more about the content of this mission, right?" She smiled slightly, and her beautiful face was suddenly filled with malice, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. "After all, as the most capable intelligence officer under Rum, you wouldn't know that the last time that person was exposed was in New York, right?"

"That FBI, Akai Shuichi." Bermode put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it away to accompany the disguise props. He touched Amuro Toru's chest with his free slender fingers and said in a half-smile: "No, no, no, for you, you should shout..."

"The traitor Ley who framed Scotland and then killed him himself."

The female star announced in a joyful tone: "Our mission is to go to New York and execute him."

When she said the code name Scotland, the blond young man's face turned gloomy. When Bermode finished speaking, his face became even uglier. His beautiful purple-blue eyes were filled with murderous intent. He replied word by word: "Got it."

"I will kill Lei myself," he said coldly.

Not until Vermouth left completely did Toru Amuro's expression relax a little, but the depression between his brows was still there, and he looked like a vicious murderer who could pick up a gun at any time.

"I have a question." Akae Nazuki, who had not spoken during the conversation, floated down from midair, leaned against the tree opposite, looked up at Amuro Toru and asked, "What generation is the BOSS of the organization?"

Amuro Toru's original worries were interrupted by this sentence. He was stunned for a long time before he realized what this question was.

When he briefly introduced himself to the other party last night, he mentioned the organization's general personnel composition and the fact that he was in a mysterious organization that appeared half a century ago. So it stands to reason that the organization's boss would indeed experience a generational change, but...

"As far as I know, it was the first generation," Amuro Toru whispered, "It has always been that gentleman alone."

Chi Jiang Na Yue hummed in an ambiguous manner, and then asked the second strange question: "What is the relationship between that... Bermode and your top boss, Rum?"

This is truly private information, and even Toru Amuro took a long time to figure it out.

He looked at the spirit behind him with a complicated expression: "Originally there was nothing special. It seems that eight years ago, things became like fire and water."

"Well, I can see that. After all, she hates you and everyone in your family." Chi Jiang Na Yue smiled strangely, stretched her waist, and casually dropped a bomb. "Then, the first generation BOSS died at least eight years ago."

Amuro Toru was stunned. After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head, his face was full of shock, and he said in a lost voice: "What did you say?!"

"You said that Vermode is the boss's most favored person. Obviously, her stance is naturally on the boss' side." Chijiang Nayue seemed reluctant to explain, but for some reason she still patiently expressed her analysis.

"According to the structure of the organization, Rum and the Action Team belong to two factions. In order to maintain balance, as the boss, Bermode should not express overly obvious personal feelings towards any faction, otherwise the other faction will not let it go. This is checks and balances."

He said meaningfully: "But now Bermode has made his feelings towards the second-in-command of the organization public...Any leader who can develop an organization for half a century will not sit idly by. The fact is that the boss has been watching for eight years."

"So, maybe it's not about watching, but he can no longer check and balance it." Chijiang Nayue said happily, "How can the dead prevent these things from happening?"

He was able to come to this conclusion because he was really familiar with these people and understood the character of Karasuma Renya, the original boss of the organization. It would be normal for the undercover agents who had only seen the boss a few times not to be able to guess this.

Chi Jiang Na Yue thought deeply: After all, not everyone is like him, having once been the boss of the Black Organization.

And, then it all makes sense.

Nayue Chijiang is an undercover agent who knows the organization codenamed Scotland. He is also his friend Morobushi Jingguang from the same period. He knows how his identity was exposed for the first time in the organization - a traitor in the Metropolitan Police Department who belongs to the organization's boss passed on the intelligence.

If that's right, it's the same in this world, which means the organization should know that Scotland is really an undercover agent, but Belmode said that Scotland was framed by Lei...

He basically sorted out the difference between this world and the main world.

The boss died at least eight years ago. As the second-in-command, Rum's relationship with Bermode of the boss's faction deteriorated. When Scotland's identity should have been exposed, it was a member of the boss's faction who passed the intelligence back to the organization. Rum did not completely trust this information, which gave the public security department a chance to cover up.

However, perhaps some accident happened later, or Scotland was unaware of the police patching up the loophole, and in the end, as his original fate had intended, he chose to commit suicide in front of Ley.

And when Ley defected and killed Scotland, who was "not a traitor", he was automatically blamed for the "frame-up".

Um……

There was a hint of pity in Chijiang Nayue's eyes.

The Akai Shuichi in this world is even more miserable than the one he knows, and the blame he bears is heavier than the last.

However, after understanding the development of this world, Chi Jiang Na Yue almost guessed how she died at the age of 18.

He made some changes to his original plan in his mind and replaced it with a completely new version.

Toru Amuro's face looked a little numb.

He only knew that this little devil was a genius who could tell amazing "secrets" at a glance, but he forgot that this guy was not only a genius, but also very daring.

The public security department certainly knew that it was a bit strange that the relationship between Vermouth and Rum had deteriorated, but the most they could think of was that Rum, as the second-in-command, had ambitions to usurp the throne. Just because Rum was still the second-in-command in name for so many years, no one would have thought that the boss was already dead.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t rum be popular?

When he just finished listening to Akae's analysis, Toru Amuro was still skeptical. It was not until he put the premise of the boss's death into context and re-examined the intelligence he had obtained over the years that he had to admit this shocking fact.

There is a high possibility that the first generation boss of the organization really died at least eight years ago.

This information was so important that Toru Amuro immediately began to think about what reasons he could find to thoroughly verify the accuracy of the information. However, after being silent for a few seconds, Akae Nazuki spoke again.

"By the way, I just forgot to tell you something very important." The black-haired boy said shyly, "I seem to have remembered something."

Amuro Toru choked and had a bad feeling in his heart.

This is a little devil who can tell the bombshell news that the boss is dead without batting an eyelid. What kind of news would it be to make him pretend to be embarrassed?

"What?" Amuro Toru asked solemnly.

“I remembered who I was.”

The young man smiled brilliantly and belatedly introduced himself: "I am Akae Nazuki, but you would probably want to know my other name more."

He cleared his throat. "For example, my code name is Kaluya?"

…

In an instant, the undercover public security agent's expression changed as if he saw ten Akai Shuichi dancing striptease in front of him.
