Chapter 103 That burly Shirley…
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Really? Let me check the replay from that day... No, there was no wind that morning.]
...Forget it, I shouldn't have expected them to have any romantic side.
Morobuchi Kagemitsu shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't receive any notification about any extra missions today."
“I only found out an hour ago.” Shuichi Akai, who was about to touch a sniper rifle, said, “Cook—the organizer of tonight’s dinner—applied for protection from the FBI. When the organization notified me, I thought Cook was afraid of retaliation from the organization.”
[Anti-fraud expert #11: I'll check with Vermouth and see if she has any response.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely. Cook and the organization still have some business to do. The organization won't easily kill someone like that without concrete evidence."
Hideaki Akai nodded: "So, the mission has been canceled."
"Something unexpected has happened?" Morofushi Kagemitsu was once again recalling the pile of documents Pisco had given him.
"There's been no reply to the email address I sent the task to," Shuichi Akai said.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: She's ignoring us.]
The little alpaca stomped its feet while suspended in mid-air.
“Vermouth is unusually quiet now,” Morofushi Kagemitsu said.
Actually, he didn't see anything unusual about it. After all, this woman had just brazenly attacked the organization's secret experimental manor, and if she caused trouble again in a short time, it would easily expose her weaknesses. Even someone as confident as Vermouth would know to be cautious.
The two briefly discussed the vague and unresolved task, and then the interior of the clock tower fell silent again.
Morofushi Kagemitsu wouldn't let the silence continue, so he asked, "Any news lately?"
This is a common way they ask each other to exchange information when playing duo queue in the country.
He thought that although they had agreed to meet again the day after tomorrow, since tonight was such a good time and place, he might as well ask first.
Shuichi Akai was no stranger to this, and casually stubbed out his cigarette, saying, "Someone wants to see you."
See me?
Morofushi Kagemitsu was somewhat surprised and asked, "Who?"
Shuichi Akai chuckled and teased, "It's that burly Sherry you mentioned."
Sherry, who is tall and strong.
Oh... how come this guy still remembers the joke he made?
Morofushi Kagemitsu smiled and said, "So it's Miyano Shiho? But why did she think of seeing me? And given the current level of secrecy surrounding her identity, it probably won't be easy for us to meet."
“I have some connections.” Shuichi Akai’s efforts in the United States during this period have not been in vain. With the support of organizational funds, he has opened up many channels between the underworld and the legitimate world. “She has heard about what’s going on in Japan and has something she wants you to see.”
So it was because of the electronic jamming program. I didn't expect that even the United States had heard about it. It seems that the impact on the organization is indeed very significant.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Haha, there's a certain thrill in seeing someone you dislike make a fool of themselves and then the whole world knows about it!]
The alpaca proudly put its hands on its hips, and the light on its body flashed even more frequently.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: By the way, Gin has been keeping Chianti and Cohen on the job lately, and Ireland hasn't been spared either. If Melo hadn't run away quickly, he probably would have been drafted too.]
Melo will be arrested? Hmph, she'll just push me out to suffer in her place.
So, Pisco's decision to call me to the US overnight actually shielded me from this major shock.
Having learned some background information, Morofushi Kagemitsu was curious about what new discovery Sherry had made: "What is it?"
This young girl is rather naive, always wearing her resistance to the organization on her sleeve. Given the organization's wariness of her, the true value of what she discovers remains to be carefully assessed.
Shuichi Akai only said, "It's a set of experimental data and a safe with a password."
A combination lock box. It's that kind of thing again.
The series of problems at Chunren Company had only been resolved a few months ago, and now this combination lock box has popped up. Could it be from the same batch of goods?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Then we'll have to take a look. A simple scan will tell us.]
"The experimental data... what is it about?" Morofushi Hiromitsu didn't ask about the safe; it was obvious they hadn't been able to open it, otherwise they would have given a different explanation. "Your FBI experts should have already analyzed it, right?"
Hideaki Akai paused, straightened up, walked from the window to the sniper rifle rack, and said, "This experimental data involves ICPO and is related to an old drug case. Judging from the description, it seems that their people were captured and became the targets of a drug experiment."
Zhu Fujingguang's heart sank, and the little alpaca that had been circling in place also stopped moving.
Human experimentation again...
He had just left the experimental manor, and his mind was filled with thoughts of the island of "destiny," so he hadn't paid attention to it for the time being. The organization also had many medical bases around the world.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Then we should definitely go and take a look; what he left behind will be very helpful to us.]
...You guys didn't go and wander around the FBI's classified vault again, did you?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: We went, but they haven't entered the documents yet. How are we supposed to check?]
Not entered? That can't be right. I remember that agencies like the FBI are quite modern.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: But these two days are the weekend, and they haven't fully staffed their shifts yet.]
……All right.
Morofushi Kagemitsu glanced at the time and said to Akai Shuichi, "I will be there on time the day after tomorrow morning."
Shuichi Akai remained silent. After a silent farewell under the moonlight, the two returned to their respective shadows.
"Smack."
Morofushi Hiromitsu gentlemanly opened the car door for Vermouth and drove her back to the villa of the famous star Chris.
Despite his attempts to subtly probe about the banquet along the way, Vermouth, who had just shared an incredible secret with him, remained silent this time, leaving Morofushi Kagemitsu with a mystery before sending the mute driver back.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: We've reviewed Cook's schedule for the past month, and aside from conspiring with business partners, he's been indulging in pleasure. Even the organization members he's been in contact with are just ordinary executives, and their conversations seem normal; nothing seems amiss.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu changed out of his tiring clothes and pondered the matter.
Although Vermouth occasionally visits Japan, her main influence is rooted in the United States, and she can get involved in most things. No matter how urgent yesterday's mission was, it was unlikely that she would be bypassed. She definitely knows the inside story.
He had launched a long series of attacks—posting content, mobilizing members, and then canceling the mission—but hadn't accomplished anything. He really couldn't figure out what this woman's purpose was.
It couldn't be so that she could meet Shuichi Akai.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: How could that be? She really dislikes the Miyano sisters, and Akai is Miyano Akemi's boyfriend...]
The little alpaca, which had been wandering around, stopped turning, and Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had just put on his bathrobe, also slowed down.
...Anti-fraud expert, do you think Vermouth might make a move against the Miyano sisters now?
[Anti-fraud expert #66: I feel we absolutely need to investigate this woman's recent whereabouts!]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: My God! How can it be so laggy? I guess I'll have to switch to a different route and take a longer route...]
The alpacas shimmered with a faint light, a sign that they were diligently searching for information.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Jing, you should go to sleep first. We'll probably have to keep fighting until tomorrow morning (sad face).]
Zhu Fujingguang glanced at the alpacas, whose brightness was enough to serve as a bedside lamp.
He closed his eyes and counted alpacas to help himself fall asleep.
The next morning, Morobuchi Kagemitsu, who had counted 233 alpacas, got up listlessly.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: ...It seems Vermouth is planning to stir up a bloodbath.]
Triggered by several keywords, Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly became alert.
A woman as ruthless as her is prone to causing trouble, and he is usually very careful not to let things affect him. But he just reached some kind of agreement with Vermouth yesterday, and it seems unlikely that he will escape unscathed from the ensuing bloodshed.
Moreover, not to mention that the Miyano sisters are also involved, the younger one of whom is not even an adult yet.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, the anti-fraud alpaca flashed in the next second.
[Anti-fraud team reminds you: Latest news update! Latest news update!]
Huh?! Of all times, something's happened. Is Vermouth's information network that efficient? She even knows I've arranged to meet Akai tomorrow morning?!
[Beware! These "limited edition" keychains might break your heart!]
"Limited edition pendant"...? Could it be an abbreviation of some top-secret document?
He looked intently at the main text, followed by a shocking opening:
My sister is dead.
The silver-haired demon told him this news; he had killed him with his own hands.
This is her punishment for disloyalty to the organization.
He also reminded himself.
The young researcher could not accept this fact and expressed her protest by stopping the experiment.
...
The organization put her under guard. Perhaps because of the investment they had made in her over the years, or perhaps because of the important unfinished project she was working on, they did not kill her immediately, but instead had her kept under close surveillance.
To teach her a lesson, the silver-haired assassin locked her in a laboratory, separating her from the poor experimental subjects by only a transparent glass partition, despite her continued refusal to participate in human experiments.
She watched helplessly as two sisters, captured by the organization to experiment on drugs, suffered terribly from the side effects of the drugs.
The silver-haired killer told her over the walkie-talkie that the drug he was using was a trial product she had just prepared two days prior.
...
She locked herself in a corner of the laboratory, took out a capsule from the pendant she always carried with her, and swallowed it with a sense of despair.
This is an unfinished product that she secretly brought out.
The scorching fire blade felt like it was slowly torturing every cell in her body, and every heartbeat felt like it was stirring up the magma that seeped into her blood.
She clutched her chest in anguish, clutching the gift she had received from her sister the last time they met—a limited-edition summer championship soccer keychain.
She should go and keep her sister company.
!!
shock!
Morofushi Kagemitsu never expected that the two sisters would end up dying together!
