If I refuse Samuster and then attend the flower show, it would be very strange; and if I refuse Komiyama Yuu, it would be embarrassing if he ran into me at the flower show again. Although it might seem that the problem could be solved temporarily if I refuse both parties, it would be troublesome if other things happened next time.

So Jiang Lai thought for a moment and then typed a reply.

Reply to Samust calmly: [Sure. I will go with a few friends, so don't reveal my identity.]

This was to inform Samust in advance not to show any respect to him, but to treat him as an ordinary person.

The reply to Yuu Komiyayama was warm and cordial: [Okay, Komiyayama. By the way, my family just bought a new oven and made a lot of snacks. I'll bring you a box tomorrow to try.]

This is a friendly interaction. After all, counter-strategy is still necessary. Jiang Lai smiled.

After replying to the two text messages, he looked up and saw that the disinfection function he had set on the computer in front of him had been completed.

So Jiang Lai put away his phone and started to prepare to investigate the intelligence he brought back this time.

His palms were slightly sweaty, and Jiang Lai stared at the computer screen with a sharp gaze, his heartbeat slightly faster. Facing this scene that was like opening a blind box, he had mixed feelings between his breaths.

Because time was tight and there was only five minutes left, Little Sheep Jiang Lai did not have time to screen and review the items. He simply packed up the items quickly and stuffed them all into the USB drive.

At this time, Jiang Lai opened it and saw folders one by one. He exhaled and began to examine them carefully, looking for useful information.

Of course, there are many secrets stored in Matsumoto Yotaro's computer, most of which are dark and confidential business matters. Jiang Lai scanned it for a few times, paused, and took out some of them, intending to shuffle the intelligence in batches and send them to the Metropolitan Police Department using HLJ's number.

If it is transmitted directly, the organization may suspect that it is related to the people on this mission, so it is better to send it separately. Jiang Lai does not want the organization to link Little Lamb Ice Wine and HLJ together, even if it is just suspicion.

The rest were some messy personal information and a small movie in the corner. Jiang Lai stuffed all those things into the recycling bin with a blank expression.

After screening them one by one, Jiang Lai finally found the last folder. The previous search only contained some criminal records related to Matsumoto Yotaro, and Jiang Lai did not find any traces of the organization. To be honest, he was a little disappointed now.

If the last folder does not contain anything important, then the only gain this time would be for HLJ to gain a few more points with the police.

After Jiang Lai secretly continued to transmit information, HLJ's identity actually had enough trust in the police.

He took a deep breath, regained his spirit, dispelled the negative emotions in his mind, opened the last folder, and began to search seriously.

His search is not simply to click on the displayed files to view them, but to use technology to dig out certain content that is deliberately hidden.

At this time, in the last folder, he also found a hidden text document.

Inside was a bunch of stuff that looked like gibberish, but also like some kind of code table, mixed with Japanese and English letters, but arranged in an orderly manner.

Jiang Lai stared at the string of things that looked like a corresponding password list for a long while, and then his expression paused, as if he remembered something. He quickly reduced the folder, connected his phone to the computer, and opened another file!

——The researcher's diary! Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes, still remembering it in his mind. At the end of the diary, there was also a bunch of Japanese and English letters mixed together in a mess!

He took a deep breath, found the incomplete research institute diary again, and turned to the end without hesitation, seeing the densely packed things that seemed to have been typed out randomly.

He glanced at the corresponding password table in the document next to him, and finally felt certain.

The latter part of the researcher's diary is not the confusion caused by unconsciousness, but should be the most important part of this diary!

The organization originally sent Akai and Malbec to retrieve the chip because they were worried that the organization would be exposed, and on the other hand, they were also worried that the researchers had written something confidential in it.

Jiang Lai glanced at the last date in the researcher's diary [December 25], and the words written there that were both desperate and hopeful. He thought to himself: This day is my birthday, and now I am also a hidden BOSS. Inexplicably, I felt a sense of hope and inheritance.

He collected his thoughts, concentrated and held his breath, edited the translation code himself, compared it with the code table next to it, and began to try to decrypt the content behind the researcher.

However, after editing most of it, he found that something was not consistent - the password list in Matsumoto Yotaro's computer was not complete!

"..." Jiang Lai paused.

Just at this moment, there was a very light knock on the door, the "knock knock knock" sound was barely perceptible.

"?" It's so late, everyone should be asleep, who on earth is it...

Before Jiang Lai stood up, the door was pushed open and a strand of long silver hair came into view.

The young boy with grey-green eyes pushed the door open and walked in. He closed the door gently and raised his calm face: "Good evening, Brother Jiang Lai."

"...Xiao Zhao?" Jiang Lai was stunned. "Are you still awake? Why did you come to see me?"

"I guess your mission should be rewarding." Kurosawa Akira, wearing bunny slippers, walked silently to Jiang Lai's side.

Jiang Lai did not cover the computer. Although he paused when he thought of the researcher's diary, worried that Xiao Zhao would see it and recall bad memories, he finally chose to open it honestly and straightforwardly.

The silver-haired boy's grey-green eyes were fixed on the screen, and a few ripples appeared, but they quickly calmed down: "The diary of the research institute members..."

"It's mainly this," Jiang Lai pointed to the side, "a password table. I'm trying to decipher the garbled code at the end of this diary. But the data is incomplete."

Kurosawa Akira's face suddenly became serious when he noticed the password table. When he heard Jiang Lai's supplement that "the data is not complete", he relaxed a little, but still lowered his voice and muttered: "...It's a bit bad."

"What?" Jiang Lai blinked.

Kurosawa Akira said in a childish voice, "Wait for me", then went out and came back quickly, with a plush teddy bear doll in his hand - Jiang Lai remembered this doll. It was the toy that Kurosawa Akira used to hold when he was still following that strange neighbor. It was also his good companion that he brought to Jiang Lai's house and now placed on the bedside.

I just don't understand why Kurosawa Akira went back to get this.

The silver-haired boy walked back to Jiang Lai, unzipped the fur on the back of the doll, and pulled out a small white piece of paper. In Jiang Lai's surprised eyes, he handed it to him: "Here, take a look at this, can you fill in the remaining password?"

"..." Jiang Lai raised his warm brown eyes, opened his mouth, and finally asked nothing, just smiled, "Okay, thank you Xiao Zhao."

With the card sent by Kurosawa Akira, Jiang Lai successfully completed the translation and editing of the password. He ran the program and translated the garbled part at the end of the researcher's diary.

While waiting, Jiang Lai spoke: "Just now... why did you say it was a bit bad?" He turned his head to the side, his words carrying a bit of curiosity and seriousness.

Only a night light was on in the room, casting a faint shadow over the silver-haired boy. His expression was gloomy and his voice was a little unclear as he answered, "Because... this also means that the organization has also obtained the password table this time."

Jiang Lai was startled for a moment, then quickly reacted. He guessed, "Could this password table be the secret code for the hidden BOSS camp to communicate? But I have never used it, nor have I seen them use it."

"To be precise, it should be the ones used by the hidden bosses and members before me. I didn't use it much myself, and I only got some of the reserved passwords." Kurosawa Akira said, "The handover of hidden bosses is not always smooth, because there are too many deaths and accidents."

I never thought that Matsumoto Yotaro actually had a partial password table. Jiang Lai thought to himself. Perhaps because he was involved in both the black and white sectors and had many contacts, he accidentally obtained this incomplete table.

The organization arranged a large-scale battle array and sent capable generals Gin, Ley and Icewine to eliminate the attackers and collect data. They may have learned from an unknown source that the other party had the code list.

"That gentleman had received some of the communication information, although it was garbled, but I believe he must have had some suspicions and kept it well, ready to crack it at any time, or always working on it."

"..." Jiang Lai was silent for a moment, "What is the garbled intelligence?"

"I'm not sure, but it's certain that some of the names of the personnel will be exposed." Kurosawa Akira's eyes darkened, and his hands on his knees curled up slightly, "Even the hidden boss's email address and so on."

Jiang Lai understood what this meant. Some members who had always been in the hidden BOSS camp and were perfect in hiding might be exposed and purged.

——Fortunately, the other party did not get the complete version, so there is still opportunity and time.

"Should I change the hidden BOSS email address?" Jiang Lai asked hesitantly.

"We have to find a way to notify the other members first." Kurosawa Akira shook his head. "It doesn't matter. The mailbox is cleaned regularly. And he can't find you with just this account."

Jiang Lai thought: Indeed, I am still confident in my hacking skills - even if I am not confident, I am confident in the real protagonist's phone (?)

If they really cracked something, maybe they would communicate via email in the future. Jiang Lai pondered silently. Would the other party persuade him to surrender? Trick him? Threaten him?

"We are now officially entering the acceleration track," Kurosawa Akihiro exhaled lightly, his gray-green eyes focused, "...We don't have much time left to prepare."

"I understand." Jiang Lai's expression also became serious, and he raised the corners of his lips slightly, "But on the other hand, if we get the garbled intelligence left by that gentleman and discovered by the public, maybe it would be a great gain if we can decipher it."

Kurosawa Akira once said that the handover between the previous hidden boss and him was actually just a quick meeting, and too many things were destroyed or hidden, causing great damage to the vitality of this place. Now, I heard that some information is still preserved, which may be a good thing.

"We have to be a few steps faster than him." Jiang Lai's brown eyes blinked slightly, and his words were clear and firm, "-- At least, we can't be slower than him."

Before that gentleman completely cracks the password, he must contact the former members and retrieve the information. And, before he finds out, he must grow rapidly.

Let the glimmer of fire rise and burn into an unquenchable prairie fire.
