“No matter how precious the memories are, if you dwell on them too much, you will become trapped in them.
Today, when I saw the little sister's reasoning, I don't know why I suddenly thought of him again, so I couldn't help but want to tell you about him... Sorry."
"it does not matter."
"However, I have kept this matter hidden for twenty years. Now that I have spoken it out, I feel much better... Well, it's getting late. Let's go back early."
"Well, Ms. Hoshino, please be careful on your way."
"Ah, you too."
Without much conversation, the two waved goodbye, Karasuma Ying rode her electric bike, and Hoshino Terumi got into her car.
However, after watching Karasuma Ying leave in the car, Hoshino Terumi did not go home directly. Instead, she slowly started the car, first bought a bouquet of flowers at a roadside flower shop, and then drove towards the police cemetery.
She was very familiar with this road because she had come here once a year since she was very young, first when her parents brought her here, and now when she came here alone.
The time of her coming may vary from year to year, but she will definitely come.
After parking the bridge car outside, Hoshino Terumi walked straight to a tombstone in the middle of the cemetery with a flashlight in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other, bent down and put the bouquet down.
"I saw a very amazing child today. I don't know why, but she gave me a feeling that she was very similar to you. Maybe it's because she is an amazing person like you, right?"
Hoshino Terumi raised her hand and took out a yellowed old photo from the inner pocket near her heart.
The photo shows a man who looks to be in his thirties. He has a gentle and handsome appearance, and is holding a little girl of about five or six years old in his arms. Judging from the background behind the two people, this photo should have been taken in an amusement park.
Putting the photo back, Hoshino Terumi squatted down and picked up the fallen leaves in front of the tombstone one by one.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late, because I really want to see you tonight, please don't be angry with me.
Of course, I think you should be happy that I am here, after all, I am the only one who comes to see you every year, and you must be counting on me to help you clean up the fallen leaves."
The tombstone is very simple, without any unnecessary things or names of family members. It only has the name and police rank of the tombstone owner.
"Am I right, Officer Shirakawa?"
【Shirakawa Kiyoshi, Police Superintendent】
This chapter is almost three thousand words long, damn, it’s so painful.
Chapter 44: Geir gradually assimilates, standard villain laughs
"So, do you think the undercover agent is among these three people?"
In the dim conference room, Gin looked at the three photos handed to him by Gil and Bourbon, with no expression on his face.
Regler always likes to make simple things complicated, this is Gin's idea.
In Curacao's list, Bourbon and Kiel were suspected of being undercover agents, but later due to Curacao's rebellion, the authenticity of the list was affected.
In this matter, as an organization cadre who directly obeys the boss, Gin naturally received orders from the boss:
Re-investigate Bourbon and Kil. Once their undercover identities are confirmed, deal with them immediately without asking for permission.
's order overlapped with Reger's plan to a certain extent.
Due to Curacao's rebellion, the boss doubted the authenticity of the list. He demanded that the two people must be re-investigated before making a final decision.
Reger wanted to kill two birds with one stone. He used an undercover agent from the Metropolitan Police Department as bait to test the true identities of the two men. At the same time, he also came up with a "double undercover" plan, trying to play a game of Mission Impossible.
In Gin's opinion, Regler was simply wasting his time, and it was only because his plan coincided with the boss's orders that Gin was too lazy to say anything.
So, Gin, who was forced to increase his workload, just watched Bourbon and Kiel squatting in front of the Metropolitan Police Department like idiots every day.
Just when he couldn't help but consider whether he should go up and shoot them secretly and get rid of these two embarrassing idiots directly, they finally took some meaningful actions.
The two men secretly investigated the cadres of the organization's intelligence group. After some screening, based on the clues previously provided by Regel, they finally identified three possible undercover candidates.
Although under Regel's order, Gin did not stop the two men from taking action.
But just in case, he decided to wait until this matter was over and then make a major reshuffle of the intelligence team's cadres.
There is no other reason, because these people may be exposed at any time, so it is always better to be cautious.
Gin believed that Regel must have anticipated this situation a long time ago. After all, the clue he gave, "the undercover agent is good at intelligence gathering", was itself an obvious guide.
The possible crisis was anticipated in advance, but no risk avoidance was taken.
In other words, for the sake of his "double undercover" plan, he chose to sacrifice the entire intelligence team's cadres.
This old monster hasn't changed at all from more than a decade ago...
Gin couldn't help but think this in his heart.
"Yes, according to the clues provided to us by Regel, these three people are the biggest suspects." Kiel said in front of Gin.
"If Reiger's clues are correct, then the undercover should be one of these three people."
"There are three of them, but only one is undercover." Gin put down the photo and looked at the two people in front of him with a low and cold voice.
"How do you plan to determine the identity of the undercover agent?"
"Gin, I heard that the organization is planning to assassinate a group of congressmen who may pose a threat to the organization in the future?" Instead of answering Gin immediately, Kiel asked back.
"That's true." Gin replied.
If an organization wants to grow and become stronger, it is impossible to just stay at the bottom and engage in dirty deals in the shadows.
When the strength grows to a certain extent, it becomes natural to collude with a country's superstructure.
The organization's influence in Japan is extremely strong, so strong that Gin feels that even if he flies a helicopter to strafe the Tokyo Tower or flies an Osprey to bomb the Ferris wheel, no one will be able to trace it back to the organization afterwards.
The reason behind this strength is very simple: the organization has people at the top and has enormous power.
At the same time, in order to maintain this huge energy, some necessary transactions have occurred, such as the assassination of those congressmen who do not want to live a good life.
These people are either filled with a boring sense of justice in their hearts, or they are idiots who have already noticed the existence of the organization and are trying to do something unfriendly to the organization.
In short, they are the kind of people who need to be dealt with in advance.
Gin was not surprised that Gil and Bourbon knew about this. After all, he had previously asked the intelligence team to collect information on those congressmen. The two of them had been investigating the intelligence team these two days, so it was not surprising for them to hear some rumors about this matter.
He did not stop them from knowing this just because of their questionable undercover identities.
On the contrary, it would be better to say that Gin was looking forward to it.
He was really looking forward to it. If the assassination attempt on the congressman was exposed, it would be a good way to confirm the undercover identities of these two people.
Once the undercover identities of these two people are confirmed, there is no need for him to say more about what to do next.
It’s a pity that Gin can only think about this kind of thing on his own.
After all, putting aside the suspicion of being undercover agents, Bourbon and Kiel are rare and outstanding talents in the organization, and it is impossible for them not to have thought of this.
"Gin, I want to confirm again that the three people in the photo are not involved in the investigation of those congressmen who were to be assassinated, right?" Kiel asked again.
"Yes."
Gin is extremely cautious in his work. With undercover agents currently in the intelligence group, he has handed over the investigation into the assassination of the congressman to the more senior officers in the group.
After all, relatively speaking, the possibility that older cadres are undercover is indeed lower than that of younger cadres.
Thinking of this, Gin couldn't help but want to punch the No. 2 who had already gone out to play.
Based on Gin's understanding of Regger, this old monster must have known the identity of the Metropolitan Police Department undercover agent, but Regger just wouldn't say it.
The reason is that he believes Gin has a murderous impulse towards the undercover agent. If he reveals the true identity of the undercover agent in advance, Gin will definitely not be able to help but kill the undercover agent in advance, and his plan will be ruined.
So, Regler just didn't say anything. Not only that, he also left the matter to Gin to take charge of, and he went out to play.
To be honest, if Gin had known early on that Regal's personality was like this, he would sometimes really think seriously, could this old monster also be an undercover agent?
"In that case, I have a plan. If this plan goes smoothly, we may be able to get the undercover agent to reveal his identity."
After getting Gin's confirmation, a gloomy and sinister smile suddenly appeared on Gil's face, the kind of smile that made people think that she must be the real one at first glance.
"Of course, Gin, I need to use this assassination of the councillor as bait, and I need your cooperation."
"interesting."
Very satisfied with the smile on Kir's face, Gin's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing his signature villain smile.
"Tell me about it, Kiel."
Toru Amuro, who was standing by, looked at the strange smiles on the two people's faces and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He thought he might have guessed what plan Kiel was talking about...
I imagined the scene of Gil showing an evil villain smile like Gin... um...
Keir: I have a plan.
Gin: Okay, let me cooperate with you
Bourbon: You guys seem to be doing something outrageous...
Reger: I'm playing, please don't disturb me, if you need anything, please find Xiaoqin
Chapter 45 Are you so brave?
"Wow! Mr. Amamiya! This portrait of mine is almost as good as a photo!"
"No, they are just some sketches, nothing technical..."
It was another day on the way home from school. After returning to the office, Mao Lilan and others happened to see Amemiya Rui surrounded by a group of children in the shop on the first floor. Out of curiosity, they walked in.
Mao Lilan didn't know much about the new tenants, a brother and a sister. She only knew that the elder sister Amemiya Megumi was a host of Beika TV and the younger brother Amemiya Rui was a painter.
I heard that this brother and sister had been living abroad before, and only recently decided to come to Japan to develop their lives.
Although it is not known what prompted them to return to Japan from abroad, Mao Lilan believes that it is definitely not a problem of ability.
She didn't know much about her sister, but she had just witnessed her brother's painting skills. Just the sketches that Amemiya Rui had just drawn were enough to amaze Mao Lilan.
Whether it is the texture and spatial relationship of the picture, or the spirit of the characters, Amemiya Rui reproduced it almost perfectly in just a few minutes.
Those few simple strokes may be the pinnacle that others cannot achieve even after decades of practice.
"Okay, Suzuki-san."
Amemiya Rui smiled, took the sketch paper off the drawing board and handed it to Suzuki Sonoko who was sitting opposite her.
"Let me see... So amazing! Even compared to my brother-in-law, he's not much inferior!"
