Chapter 74 The trouble has reached the inside.
Although this incident inexplicably led the organization to send Lai back to his hometown, it was already quite good that our side did not suffer any casualties or cause factional conflict among the undercover agents.
Ray, you can go in peace.
Morofushi Kagemitsu smiled and said goodbye to Manager Uchimi, specifically reminding him: "This puppet can be placed in the company first. It's best to find a good south-facing location. Don't place it too high, and there shouldn't be any open flames or large areas of red nearby."
This was his conclusion after carefully examining the company's building structure. There were quite a few rooms that met the criteria, but given Manager Utsumi's personality, he would definitely place the puppet in his office. At that point, Number 66, hiding inside, could freely explore the database that he couldn't access.
Furthermore, if Utsumi wanted to be transferred from a codenamed member like himself, he would definitely need to contact someone with higher authority. He not only needed to inform Melo, but also report to his superiors. And here he was, with all the contact information he needed.
Number 66, it's your turn.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Don't worry, he's already taken me to his office and is checking for listening devices!]
OK, let's wait and see.
Morobuchi Kagemitsu got back into the car, activated the autopilot, drove back to another residential area, parked, and then returned.
I had just reached the intersection, ready to wait for the traffic light to change, when a friendly middle-aged man surrounded by pink bubbles spoke up:
"Master, it's almost evening, why are you still setting up your stall?"
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
master?
He looked at his clothes; they were clearly casual wear! He had changed into them specifically for that purpose.
Do I look like a fortune teller when I wear these round sunglasses?
He asked from the bottom of his heart.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Since you asked this from the bottom of your heart, I will mercifully tell you...]
[Anti-fraud expert #198: It really does look alike.]
Stop, I don't want to hear the truth right now.
He remained silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the old man continued to ask, "How much do you charge? Or would you like me to have my fortune told too?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu and the anti-fraud guy checked the traffic light time, then took another look at the image of the old man in their minds. Noticing that the old man's sneakers were not tied properly, they kindly reminded him, "Be careful when crossing the road."
After he finished speaking, the green light came on, and he started to walk away. The old man was left standing alone on the side of the road, hesitating whether or not to take that step.
[Thinking about you...]
Having done a good deed, Morofushi Kagemitsu returned home under the guidance of the Anti-Fraud King, and then began preparing for the upcoming rendezvous and trip to Tottori.
If he's planning to go to Tottori, it's definitely not acceptable to say it's a business trip for such a vague reason. It's safer to make sure he has a backup plan first.
Perfect timing! Since the organization still hasn't caught Miyake Masaki, he told Mello that he seemed to have found some trace of him and planned to use this "feng shui consultation" as a pretext to investigate. After all, he had met with Kono Aoto using Miyake Masaki's appearance before, so it was only natural that Miyake Masaki would also know what he had deliberately let Kono Aoto know.
After sending a text message, Melo, who didn't believe Scotland would convert to religion, accepted his reasoning but still gave a warning: "Be careful during the investigation, lest you lose your life like some people did for knowing things you shouldn't have."
These words made Morofushi Kagemitsu even more convinced that the core secret the organization was trying so hard to protect might be in Tottori.
In that case, just in case, he might need the local police to cooperate with him a little at the right time.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Wait, are you talking about the police in Tottori? Well, before you actually do that, I suggest you look at their performance record over the past few years and think it over carefully.]
What does this mean?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #198: Take a look at the files. There's a mountain of unsolved cases, but very few have actually resulted in the arrest of the perpetrators. Oh, and there are a few wrongful convictions, but the proceedings are lengthy and the individuals involved are still not released.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: Are you sure they can help you, or not just hold you back?]
...Is it really that tragic? Could those cases be complex and difficult to solve? Perhaps the perpetrators were too cunning, rather than the police being incompetent.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: I've even prepared the data tables for you. 83% of them are very simple cases; there are hardly any murders. Oh, and they even have a report saying they lost a suspect's DNA sample.]
...That would be a bit too careless.
Forget it, I'll just go it alone.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Just report it to the police team and mention technical support to them. Otherwise, if they find out what kind of "black technology" we used, we'll have a record of it.]
good.
[Anti-fraud expert reminds you: Scam exposure updated! Scam exposure updated!]
A long-awaited news preview... looks like things are about to get turbulent again. Something's going to happen just before heading to Tottori; it doesn't sound like a good omen.
Morofushi Kagemitsu read it directly in his mind and saw the familiar title format, which directly provided effective information;
[A bottle of real liquor, a USB drive, and one night, the contact's true identity was almost exposed!]
contact person? !
Could this contact person be Mr. Jin Quan?
He checked the news category again; it was a scam exposure. This seemed to match the time he had arranged to meet Mr. Jin Quan two days later.
Seeing that this involved the police team again, Morobushi Kagemitsu quickly read on:
It was the end of the month, not a peak holiday season, so the cinema wasn't crowded. The contact person bought tickets for the evening showing as agreed. He checked the time and lobby on the ticket before entering the designated screening room.
The audience from the previous movie hadn't completely left yet, and the cleaning lady had already started her work. He noticed that she had some difficulty walking, and when they met on the trapezoidal steps, he instinctively stepped aside.
After the contact person sat down, he subconsciously touched the pocket containing the two USB drives to make sure they were still there. Then, he casually looked around to find the location of his contact.
About a minute before the movie started, he saw a man wearing a brown fleece-lined trench coat and a three-dimensional octagonal hat enter the room. This was the person he was supposed to meet.
But the man didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he slowed down as he passed the cleaner, glanced at the audience seats and the screen, and then turned and walked away, seemingly realizing he had entered the wrong show.
As an experienced liaison, he sensed something was wrong when he noticed the contact's actions. He glanced at the cleaner and found that she was also looking in his direction.
"Buzz, buzz."
His cell phone vibrated twice in his pocket, most likely a warning from his contact.
Realizing this, he immediately got up and prepared to leave.
"Drip—drip—drip—"
Three crisp electronic beeps sounded from the pocket where he kept his USB drive. He tried to do something more, but it was too late; the explosion had already engulfed everything.
This is bad. Judging from the description, the contact person has probably already been identified. That cleaner is likely someone the organization placed there. Keeping him around is just to lure out the one who came out on the street.
It's worth noting the two USB drives. One of them is likely an empty USB drive of the same model as the one I'm supposed to hand over, while the other might contain some data I need. One of them is loaded with a bomb.
So, was it someone inside the public security bureau who did it?
However, there's something that doesn't make sense.
As far as he knew, since that purge, the police had become extremely cautious about recruiting new members. After his team was fully assembled, no new recruits joined, and their operations remained completely secret. Moreover, he had transmitted a considerable amount of important intelligence to the police without ever being intercepted; why this time of all times?
He did not distrust the current police team, but he couldn't say for the moment who the suspicious person might be.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #214: Could the intelligence itself be problematic? I remember we haven't told the police team what information we want yet, but I think we'll try to get information about the safe, right?]
You mean it's related to the contents of the safe?
[Anti-fraud expert #214: I can't be sure, but based on our previous speculation, there might really be some big shot's dirt on them. Otherwise, I can't imagine why we would act rashly based on such information.]
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Wait a minute, since one of the USB drives might contain electronic data, let's keep an eye on the police. Once someone starts transferring files to the USB drive, we'll probably know where the problem lies.]
Can.
However, just to be on the safe side, I should still remind Mr. Jin Quan.
[Anti-fraud expert #26: I'm going to send a message.]
Okay, let's just ask about the combination lock.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Don't be so down, we still have two days, enough time to set things up. Here's some good news: Ethan's main church, after all that commotion, has finally yielded some results.]
Did he email me?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Yes, he posted new intelligence in the Black Guest trading window according to the code, which means he has figured out what happened to Chunren Company back then.]
Instead of seeking the truth of what happened back then, Morofushi Kagemitsu asked about Ethan Hondou's actions: how did he find out the intelligence?
[Anti-fraud expert #19: This is a classic case of double-dealing. He told the boss's child most of the truth, but added a "received favor" background to his own persona, thus persuading the stubborn, immature college student to cooperate with his plan.]
[Anti-Fraud King #26: Then they lured out the mastermind, who turned out to be one of their Irish underlings.]
It's Pisco again.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Back then, the boss of Chunren Company tampered with the safes customized by a group of wealthy individuals, allowing him to learn many secrets, including those concerning Pisco. Given this situation, you can imagine what would happen next.]
...
[Anti-fraud expert #11: Moreover, to vent his anger, Pisco told other people who had these custom-made safes about it, causing the direct owner to be isolated and eventually bankrupt.]
...
Morofushi Kagemitsu knew that the dead should be respected, but he still felt that the boss deserved it.
However, he was fairly certain what was inside the safe.
If he had known this would happen, he would have destroyed that thing directly.
