Chapter 31: Infernal Affairs - Three Policemen, One Show...
"Scotland?"
Apparently not seeing him come out of the main gate, Lei asked into his earpiece.
Morofushi Kagemitsu ultimately did not expose Uemura Keiko's identity, but simply replied, "...It's nothing, it's just that blood accidentally splattered on my shoes."
"And this woman?" Ray paused, then asked, "Did she see your face?"
Zhu Fujingguang subconsciously touched the mask on his face and said, "No, let's keep her. We need to make an example of her and leave someone alive to report back."
"good."
Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't look at Uemura Keiko again. He quickly left the villa, climbed over the fence according to the planned escape route, and returned to his car. The gunshots from their location had already attracted the attention of others. As soon as he climbed over the fence, he saw the villa area's security guards rushing towards Uemura's house.
Let's leave the rest to Keiko Uemura; she should know how to handle it.
The villa area wasn't far from the local police station, so I'd better drive away quickly and meet up with Eli. Of course, I needed to prepare some explanations to deal with any questions Eli might have.
[Keiko Uemura's fate has taken a turn (starry-eyed)]
Fate took a turn...?
Could it be that the Anti-Fraud King really can tell fortunes?
[This isn't fortune telling; it's just presenting one of the many possibilities for the future to you through a report. (adjusts glasses)]
Actually, it's pretty much the same; some ancient fortune-telling books also require a foundation in mathematics.
Since the appearance of the Anti-Fraud King, Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had been secretly brushing up on his fortune-telling knowledge, retorted somewhat hesitantly.
[...Mathematics and metaphysics are still different (shrug)]
for example?
[For example, if you don't turn on your lights, the traffic cop on the right will pull you over (light bulb)]
Zhu Fujingguang was startled and quickly turned on his headlights to change direction, almost getting stopped by his colleagues from the Ministry of Transportation.
[In the future, you might be pulled over by traffic police for a traffic violation, but you're almost certainly not stopped because they recognize you as a member of a black-clad organization. That's probability; if the latter were reversed, that would be truly mystical. (Taking notes)]
Well, it seems only high-probability events get included in anti-fraud apps. With his involvement, he believes many things will have a chance to turn around in the future.
Having confirmed that the so-called future could be changed, Morofushi Kagemitsu felt a little more relaxed. He gently stepped on the brakes and brought the car to a steady stop in front of Rae, who was waiting by the roadside.
Without a word, Ray got into the car, and the two rushed to the port to prepare for the possible gunfight that was about to break out.
"...So, is there a problem with Mrs. Uemura's identity?"
Sure enough, while inspecting the weapons in the makeshift safe house, Ray couldn't help but ask about the previous mission.
"Her..." Morofushi Kagemitsu had prepared his explanation in advance and responded very naturally, "I found out that she used to frequent shooting clubs, and that Uemura guy does have some weapons hidden at home. I just think it's necessary to be wary of his wife at this time."
Ray paused in cleaning his gun, then said, "I saw over there that the woman seemed to be about to call the police. But you took out Uemura a few seconds later, so I figured there was no need to waste any more bullets."
Morofushi Kagemitsu glanced at Laiyi, who met his gaze without flinching. After a moment, both of them lowered their eyes.
Let's try again when we have another chance.
They all thought so.
This feeling carried over to the port conflict that night. Even with double the number of bodyguards, it was to no avail. Often, quality, not quantity, matters. This rabble was no match for the two of them, and before long, the other side was felled like wheat being harvested.
In a remote port littered with corpses, Morofushi Kagemitsu finally caught his target. He instructed Rai to lie in ambush while he went to settle accounts with Kumagai Ichiro, who dared to default on interest payments to the organization.
That should be about right, at this distance.
He stopped when he smelled gunpowder at the warehouse entrance.
[Identifying the chemical composition of the air...]
Without needing any calculations or analysis from the Anti-Fraud King, Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly moved away from the warehouse.
He hadn't taken more than a few steps when a huge explosion rocked the warehouse, the blast wave slamming him against a shipping container. After he finally managed to tear himself off, another shockwave hit, and if he hadn't ducked into a nearby unloading truck, he probably would have been thrown back up.
"Bang!"
Huh? Where did that gunshot come from?
Who on earth shot someone in this kind of environment?! Have they no sense of public morality at all?!
Could it be that Ray?
Morofushi Kagemitsu cautiously looked toward the hiding place of the thief, but then felt that it didn't quite seem like it.
[Stand by, another wave of attacks will occur in 2 seconds (3 red exclamation marks)]
"Don't come out, Scotland," Ray's voice came through the earpiece, overlapping with the anti-fraud warning. At that moment, both the left and right channels of Morofushi Kagemitsu's audio told him that the situation outside was dangerous.
Of course, he wouldn't risk his life, so he hid well in the car and didn't show himself.
Sure enough, the next second, another wave of heat hit. This time it was even more destructive than the previous two; he could even hear the sound of metal clashing outside.
[Air quality retesting begins...]
[Due to excessive smoke and dust at the scene, wearing a mask is recommended.]
[Sampling complete, comparison in progress...]
Zhu Fujingguang took out a mask from his pocket and obediently put it on. At the same time, a sound came through his earpiece:
How are you now?
After the waves subsided, Lai hadn't abandoned him and run away.
"I'm fine." Morofushi Kagemitsu also inquired about Rai's situation. "How about you?"
“I was far away, so nothing happened to me,” Lei said calmly. “Before the third explosion, I saw someone go in through the back door of the warehouse, but I can’t be sure who that person is.”
Upon hearing this, the anti-fraud team, who were working overtime to analyze samples, began scanning for biological traces at the scene.
[Currently, there are no signs of life in the warehouse; only human remains and some unmelted gold jewelry (files) have been detected.]
Gold jewelry.
He remembered that Kumagai Ichiro did seem to be wearing a lot of gold jewelry today, and his taste was pretty much the same as usual.
However, Kumagai himself was not in the warehouse.
It's someone else.
"Did you hear where that gunshot came from?" Morofushi Kagemitsu chose to ask Rai, who was more experienced in this area.
“To the northeast,” Lei said confidently. “That’s the direction the guy went into the warehouse. Although my view is a bit blocked, it’s not hard to tell that someone must have been arguing with the person who escaped into the warehouse in that direction.”
Morobuchi Kagemitsu sensed something was wrong: "Those people should know we're here, right?"
Ray agreed with him: "Logically, he shouldn't be retreating this way unless there's something more formidable than us in that direction."
"Want to come along?" Morofushi Kagemitsu invited.
"Two minutes," Leie replied crisply.
Lei's movements were not slow. After Morofushi Kagemitsu got out of the car and tidied himself up, he saw Lei's long hair flowing by in the distance.
It's so late at night, it looks like there's a female ghost wandering around here. If someone with a weak heart saw it, they'd probably scream.
"Ahhh—!"
Startled by the sudden scream, Morofushi Kagemitsu tensed up and instinctively drew his gun, pointing it at the source of the sound.
"A ghost!"
He managed to resist the urge to pull the trigger, slipped behind a nearby truck, and peered out to aim at the screaming target.
He was a young man, looking like he'd just graduated from college, pointing and yelling at the spot where Ray had just flashed by. If it weren't for the white van behind him, you wouldn't even notice that his legs were as weak as noodles; what was probably keeping him standing was the instinct to save his life.
Despite appearing to be an innocent bystander who had stumbled upon a crime scene, Morofushi Kagemitsu remained wary of him.
Such a huge explosion happened here less than two minutes ago, who would want to come this way? It takes the police five minutes to get here, how come he is here unharmed?
That's highly suspicious.
"Who, who's over there?!" the young man shouted tremblingly towards his hiding place, looking terrified. "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. This explosion has nothing to do with me! Don't come after me!"
What on earth is this all about? Even if a human soul really leaves the body, can it really move that quickly?
No, according to what's said online, it usually takes seven days (for the ghost).
No, this rant isn't meant to solicit your professional opinion, please remain silent.
[……(cry)]
After the anti-fraud guy quieted down, Morofushi Kagemitsu concealed the gun in his pocket, keeping the safety open. Since he had already been discovered, he might as well take advantage of the current atmosphere and try to bluff this young man who seemed to know something.
"Um...are you alright?"
He resumed his amiable demeanor, and appropriately revealed a trembling voice of fear.
"Ah, there's still someone here. You scared me to death..." The young man breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw Zhu Fu coming over, he grabbed his hand and pulled him behind the car.
It took a lot of willpower for Morobuchi Kagemitsu to refrain from throwing the man over his shoulder.
The young man looked extremely nervous and frightened, gripping his hand tightly, and said, "We have to leave quickly, this is an extremely yin place, easily haunted! I just saw a long-haired female ghost floating there..."
To prevent this guy from going further absurd, Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly interrupted, saying, "But wasn't there an explosion just now? If I hadn't been hiding in the car the whole time, I would have been dead!"
"That was two groups double-crossing each other," the young man said in a low, mysterious voice. "So many people were killed in the bombing, maybe one of them is one of them! I've already called the police, we... Ahhh! Hurry, hurry!"
Instead of being pulled away, Morofushi Kagemitsu pretended to be clueless and stood still.
The young man grew anxious and started tugging at his sleeve again, saying, "That female ghost just floated over again! Come on, please, let's go quickly..."
Ah, that's probably Ray cooperating with me.
Morofushi Kagemitsu grabbed him and hid behind another container. While forcefully pulling open the container door that wasn't properly closed, he said, "Hide here, the cops will probably come from over there."
Before the two had taken two steps, the young man suddenly used the container door to pin his hands down, then pulled a pistol from his pocket, pointed it at him, and said:
"Don't move! Put your hands up!"
Morofushi Kagemitsu, who felt extremely familiar with him: ? ? ?
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you afraid of ghosts anymore?" He tried to put on another act, mainly because he didn't want to be coerced like this without any explanation. "I haven't even said you're suspicious yet! I was even thinking of taking you with me, so why don't you do this to me?"
But the young man said to him with a serious expression, "Stop pretending. Today, the only people who will be in this port are criminals and police."
"I...I'm not." Morofushi Hiromitsu realized that this man was an undercover police officer, and he probably wouldn't be able to extract any information from him, so he prepared to leave. "Isn't there any other option?"
The young police officer remained unyielding: "No."
Through the crack in the door, Morofushi Kagemitsu saw Rae quietly approaching and continued to stall for time: "Officer, I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person. You should give me a chance."
The young police officer wasn't buying it: "Sorry, I'm a police officer."
Undercover police officer Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...Oh.
I'm sorry, I'm a police officer too.
The next second, Lei fell from the sky.
A note from the author:

Ray: What a coincidence, I'm a cop too.
Open your eyes when it's light; there are no bad people alive today.
