"This mission... the part I have to do is actually very simple. But when I work backwards and try to review it, I always feel..." Subaru Okiya paused and pushed up his glasses, "It's very scary."
Akai Shuichi glanced at him.
Regarding this matter, Akai Shuichi actually had some doubts.
——As an FBI agent with good intelligence, Shuichi Akai has a good memory.
A few days ago, after the newspaper published the story of President Watunuki's murder and burial, and his eventual arrest, he immediately remembered that this was Subaru Okiya's mission goal.
At first glance, Okiya Subaru was lucky, the target sent him in by himself.
But the coincidence always made Akai Shuichi feel that things might not be simple.
However, look at the details of the case: Giichi Watanuki committed the murder a month ago, and the timeline is quite long. Moreover, "killing a person and framing the blame on Giichi Watanuki" is not a good idea based on the organization's ethics.
Although the level is completely achievable, according to Akai Shuichi's understanding of the organization, when faced with the goals of Watanuki Yiichi, who is not a big shot, the organization's approach is usually more simple and crude.
It's simply unimaginable to kill people like this one month in advance and then blame them at the wrong time...
...That's what Akai Shuichi originally thought.
But now, after hearing what Subaru Okiya said, he realized that the situation did not seem to be what he expected.
Shuichi Akai pressed the gun hidden in the express package and looked at Subaru Okiya thoughtfully, waiting for the next step.
Okiya Subaru took a deep breath and remembered the unpleasant meeting with Uzo:
"That day, not long after I arrived near the target, Uzo suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me what my plan was.
"After I told him about the common practice of 'assassination,' he looked very dissatisfied. He even said disdainfully that it was a rude behavior that only thugs would adopt."
Akai Shuichi: "..."
...In this case, the style of this cadre is indeed a bit strange.
Speaking of which, since "Uzo" adheres to such a philosophy, his relationship with Gin must not be very good.
——As a person who knows something about Gin, the first moment Akai Shuichi heard the series of derogatory words, Gin's face immediately appeared in his mind.
...In short, if what Subaru Okiya said is true, then Shuichi Akai has reason to suspect that Usa and Gin are having an affair. He said those words to bring private goods in front of his subordinates and complain about the way Gin performs tasks.
However, from another aspect, in this case, even if the relationship is not good, Uzo and Gin must have been in contact. In addition, if the sentence "Uzo" is really mocking Gin, then
It means that this cadre whom I have never heard of has a status similar to that of Gin.
...With a boss like this, the rewards that "Okiya Subaru" may gain from his identity are greater than imagined.
After Akai Shuichi made a simple guess, he didn't think about it in depth. He quickly looked at Subaru Okiya and motioned for him to continue.
——The speculations about Uzo and Gin just now represent the most ideal situation.
Because, although Gin is often a typical representative of "thugs", there are actually many similar people in the organization. Uzo may not necessarily be referring to Gin, but may also be referring to other people.
Subaru Okiya looked at the long and narrow "express delivery" that Akai Shuichi was standing next to, and suppressed his shock.
He continued: "I am ashamed to say that I originally thought that the new generation of the organization had changed their minds and began to advocate a more peaceful way of solving problems, intending to come ashore with a clean slate.
"But later I discovered that maybe I was overthinking...
"Uzo rejected my proposal of 'assassination', and then took me to the construction site next door to Mian Guanyi's family when Mian Guanyi was not at home, and asked me to dig along an open space.
"I initially thought that buried underneath were false accounts from Giichi Watanuki, or other things that could be used as a threat... I didn't expect that a corpse was dug up."
This was obviously a very unpleasant memory. The corpse was severely decomposed, but it had not completely turned into bones, and was in the most terrifying stage. Subaru Okiya not only dug it out unprepared, but was also forced to follow him
The corpses looked at each other for a long time, and while looking at each other, they heard Uzo threatening in a friendly tone next to them...
Okiya Subaru was silent for a moment, sighed, then looked at Akai Shuichi, and continued what he just said:
"You should have read the relevant reports after the incident.
"——A month ago, Giichi Watanuki may have accidentally killed Sanae Koda who was visiting his home, or he may have intentionally killed him. Then in the early hours of the morning, he secretly moved the body through the sewer to the construction site next door, and placed it on the spot.
buried.
"Yiichi Watanuki lives alone, with a large yard and few people around his house. Not only is it not in a busy city, but it is also a bit desolate. In short, it is almost impossible for passers-by to accidentally see the condition of his house.
"But when Uzo took me to exhume the corpse, he explained the case in great detail from beginning to end... It was as if he had written the script with his own hands."
Akai Hide lit a cigarette and listened quietly. Soon, he noticed something worth paying attention to from Okiya Subaru's words.
He asked clearly and logically: "The target committed a murder a month ago and was arrested a few days ago. It is indeed a long time ago and it is difficult to observe. But the organization has many eyes and ears, and Uzuo knows the details of the case. It may be because of him, or because of him
His subordinates passed by by chance and spied on those situations... In short, there are many reasonable explanations. Why do you think he 'wrote the script'?"
"Because this is not an isolated case." Subaru Okiya got to the point and his expression became solemn:
"It's very possible that Uzzo has done something similar in the past - there have been rumors of that in the organization.
"I have actually heard some rumors about this new boss, but I never thought of it before, because I never thought that the legend of the organization would be so close to me... Until a few days ago, when I dug out the body, I heard again
With the task process he explained, I finally reconciled Uzo and those sporadic rumors."
Under the gaze of Akai Shuichi, Subaru Okiya lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something scary, and whispered:
"According to rumors, Uzo really doesn't like killing people. But the targets he targets always have various accidents - either they are suddenly involved in seemingly unrelated murder cases and are killed. Or they have psychological problems.
, crash and kill others...
"It is said that Uzo even attacked some cadres, and even the cadres could not escape his terrible 'script'. Only one person with outstanding ability noticed Uzo's methods and survived, and that's how the rumors in the organization began...
Without him, more people might have disappeared from the organization without anyone noticing."
