Chapter 36 The Whiskey Trio's Daily Life 3 [VIP]
By this time, they had been lying on the rooftop for seven or eight hours. The sky had darkened, and in the dim environment, they could not relax even slightly, keeping their eyes constantly on the line.
I am very tired.
Scotland also needed a pick-me-up, so he naturally didn't refuse Shuichi Akai's request to smoke.
Shuichi Akai smiled, lit a cigarette, and noticing the other's fatigue, asked, "Scotland, why don't you rest for a while?"
“No, Ray, give me one too,” Scotland said with a shrug.
"Ah... why are you suddenly being so proactive?" Shuichi Akai was shocked, a little afraid that he had led the other person astray, and felt a little guilty.
"Just to perk me up." Zhu Fujingguang casually took the cigarette, lit it, and continued to observe the situation in the building across the street.
Around 4 a.m., Morofushi Hiromitsu and Akai Shuichi finally spotted their target: the boss of the Ruby Building.
The two exchanged a glance, making sure Bourbon's actions hadn't been discovered yet, but they didn't know why the boss of the Ruby Building had suddenly come here. However, Morofushi Hiromitsu could only pray that Furuya Rei's actions hadn't been discovered.
It was unclear whether Bourbon had found the classified documents at this point. All that was known was that Rei Furuya was tied up with other matters and, in order to maintain his student persona, it was difficult for him to act. If he were to directly snipe at the head of the Ruby Building at this moment, even with a silencer, it would still arouse suspicion.
"Find Bourbon's location first and make sure he's safe," Shuichi Akai said sternly, staring through his gun's scope at the boss of the Ruby Building.
"Okay." Without needing to be reminded, Morofushi Kagemitsu's attention had automatically shifted to Furuya Rei the moment the Ruby Building boss appeared.
Even with the scope, I could still see the blond, bespectacled man in the building over there through the window.
Rei Furuya has successfully broken into the boss's office in the Ruby Building and is already searching for documents.
Morofushi Hiromitsu contacted Bordeaux, the head of the organization's technical department, hoping that the other party could access all the surveillance footage from the Ruby Building.
Bordeaux is rumored to be a very strange and mysterious person. Like Gin, he is a ruthless assassin in the Black Organization. It is said that he has never met anyone except Gin, Rum, and the Boss.
The other party quickly sent over the surveillance footage, without asking any further questions or saying anything else.
Morobuchi Kagemitsu carefully observed the area and only felt at ease after confirming that there were no suspicious people near the boss's office in the Ruby Building.
“Tsk,” Shuichi Akai frowned, “That old man went to the floor above his office, with three bodyguards with him.”
"..." Morofushi Kagemitsu frowned and pondered for a moment. No matter what, Zero was the most important. Not getting the confidential documents was a major blow to the organization, and the organization would not punish them excessively.
So he didn't hesitate to message Rei Furuya, informing him that the boss of the Ruby Building was coming back soon.
Shuichi Akai noticed his behavior but did not stop him or say that everything was for the mission's sake. He pretended not to know and continued to observe the Ruby Building boss who was about to arrive at the office floor in the distance.
It took Furuya Rei a long time to take out his phone to check the message. He read it calmly without any other expression, and he did not show any shock.
But he was still somewhat unwilling to leave and abandon the mission, not only because Hiro would be punished with him, but also because his secret rivalry with Lai made him unable to give up.
Seeing his childhood friend's expression, Morofushi Kagemitsu understood that Furuya Rei's stubbornness was innate, immortal, and that Furuya Rei would never give up on such matters.
Inside the Ruby Building, Furuya Rei calmed himself down, carefully considering the places he had searched and the information he had gleaned from chatting with other employees in the building downstairs. Piecing together the key pieces of information, he seemed to be vaguely discovering something else.
Shuichi Akai noticed that the boss of the Ruby Building had already reached that floor. He frowned and said, "Get Bourbon out of here right away. I'll fire immediately." If he didn't fire now, he would miss the best sniping spot and it would be difficult to have another chance to snipe him.
"Wait a little longer," said Morofushi Kagemitsu, noticing Furuya Rei's confident expression. "Just a little while. Trust Bourbon; he's never failed before."
“Tsk, okay, only two minutes,” Shuichi Akai replied.
Rei Furuya could already hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching from afar. The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground struck his heart heavily with each step. The soundproofing in this office was really bad.
He slowly came to his senses and focused his attention. He counted on the bookshelf and found a switch hidden among them. He touched the book, and a small shelf popped out instantly. Behind the shelf, sure enough, was a miniature USB flash drive.
Rei Furuya picked up the USB drive and put it in his pocket, then ducked into the shadows. Sure enough, the next second, a silenced gunshot rang out, followed by three more. Because of the close proximity, he could hear some of the noise. There weren't many people on this floor, so the commotion wouldn't attract much attention from others for the time being.
Taking advantage of the moment, Furuya Rei flung open the door and slipped out, looking at the four corpses lying in a pool of blood, barely clinging to life.
"You...you are...that...organization..." The boss of the Ruby Building seemed very shocked. He did not expect that the Black Organization would actually send people to stake out the place for so long in order to kill him. The Black Organization's capabilities were truly terrifying!
"I won't see you." Furuya Rei left indifferently, quietly going down the stairs, then taking the elevator like an ordinary college student, taking the opportunity to cover his face with his hat and put on that smile.
Arriving at the entrance of the Ruby Building, and hearing the chaos inside, Furuya Rei saw Scotland and Ray standing there with their basses on their backs. He pulled down his hat and walked over.
He wasn't too worried about the Ruby Building incident. After all, he had been very careful to avoid the surveillance cameras. Besides, the organization's technical department would handle the aftermath properly.
Rei Furuya walked to where they had parked, got into the white Mazda with Scotland, and Hideaki Akai got into the red Ford Mustang without changing his expression, once again reenacting the Mustang chasing the little white rabbit.
However, after getting on the bus, Furuya Rei couldn't help but frown and ask Scotland, "Why do you smell like smoke? I could smell it from far away, and I thought it was that guy Ray's."
“…Ahem, this…” Morifushi Kagemitsu paused for a moment, unsure how to begin.
Rei Furuya frowned, thinking that his childhood friend certainly didn't seem like the type to smoke. He then began to imagine the scene of them sniping from a high-rise building, and suddenly realized, "I know, Scotland. Is it because you were too close to Rye and got too much flavor in the marinade?"
"Maybe...maybe..." Morofushi Kagemitsu's fingers curled up, but he finally confessed, "I smoked one to stay awake..."
"Huh?" Furuya Rei's grip on the steering wheel tightened involuntarily. His forehead twitched, and looking at the red Ford Mustang following behind his beloved Mazda through the rearview mirror, he felt an itch in his teeth. "Was it Ray who made you twitch?"
"..." Morofushi Kagemitsu, who noticed that his childhood friend had gotten angry, was quite helpless. He shrugged and said, "No, I'm just trying it myself to perk myself up."
“Scotland, you’re making excuses for him. Don’t think I don’t know that smoking is rarely due to other reasons besides someone around you,” Furuya Rei said through gritted teeth. “Ray is really something.”
————Mini Theater————
Morofushi Kagemitsu and the Cat
Cast: Scottish, Bourbon, Rye, Gin, Vermouth.
Location: A base of the winery.
We apologize for the out-of-character (OOC) content.
That day, Vermouth brought a beautiful Ragdoll cat to the hideout and found Scotland: "Oh, Scotland, I have to go on a business trip soon, so I'll have to ask you to take care of my little prince at home."
"Wow, what an adorable kitten! Of course, Vermouth, I'll take good care of it." Morofushi Kagemitsu was very happy.
However, ever since Morofushi Kagemitsu got this Ragdoll cat, he hasn't been taking on Gin's tasks much anymore. "I have to help Vermouth take care of the young master, I don't have time."
Gin wondered, "What's so special about taking care of a cat?"
Rei Furuya, who hadn't spoken to his childhood friend in a long time and hadn't seen his friend smile at him in ages, was also troubled: "Are cats cuter than me?"
Ray, who hadn't had a technical exchange with a sniper he was satisfied with in a long time, was also heartbroken: "It's been several days since I improved my sniping skills. I wonder when Scotland and I can have another exchange."
Then the three of them had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant idea.
Gin picked up a yellow-orange cat and deliberately showed it to Scotland: "After you finish these tasks, I will give you this cat and allow you to keep cats at my base."
“Okay!” Morofushi Kagemitsu readily accepted.
Rei Furuya, who hadn't seen Gin for several days because of his mission in Scotland, gritted his teeth: "Damn it! Gin beat me to it!"
Shuichi Akai was equally annoyed: "Damn it! How dare they enslave my good partner like this!"
The two, who were secretly competing in the shadows, exchanged a glance upon hearing the sound and realized that the other was also secretly watching them. So they decided to come up with a brilliant idea to win back their good partner!
