It was already two o'clock in the morning when Kuroki arrived at the inspection department base. There was no moon in the sky tonight, and the inspection department was in a relatively remote location. He relied on the headlights of his car to illuminate him so he wouldn't hit the gate.
After swiping the card to enter, Kuroki Jin was wearing a black operational uniform, a hat and a mask, covering his face.
When he approached three kilometers from the base, Gin in the base received the news and sent someone at the door to pick him up. After Kuroki passed the organization's security check, he was taken to a separate interrogation room.
In the interrogation room, Gin, Jacobs, and Grange sat in three positions. They were obviously father and son, but Jacobs's seat was closer to Gin.
The arrival of Kuroki Ren made all three of them look at him, and then Gin motioned him to take a seat with his eyes. Kuroki Ren calmly sat down between Jacobs and Grange.
"I mean, Potter, you didn't frame me on purpose, did you?" Jacobs looked impatient, "Did you already know that Judy is the FBI, and you specifically didn't tell me that you were here to watch me having fun, right? "
Kuroki took off his hat and mask. Everyone here has seen his true face, so there is no need to be secretive.
The expression on his face looked surprised, and he innocently spread his hands and said, "Why do you say that? How could I possibly know that Judy is the FBI?"
The only FBI person he had contact with on the surface was Shuichi Akai, and when he was an undercover agent, everyone had contact with him more or less.
But when it came to knowing Judy's identity, the only people in the organization who knew about it were Gin, Vodka and Belmod. Whether Vodka knew about it or not depended on whether Gin had the patience to tell him in detail.
Kuroki Jin guessed that there was probably no such thing.
So what Jacobs said is worth thinking about.
Jacobs also paused for a moment, and after going through the words in his mind, he continued: "Okay, then that guy Pisk is causing trouble. Anyway, I don't know that Judy is from the FBI. What would I say if I found out? I won’t get close to her either!”
Originally, the two parties were already fighting fiercely, but he also created an excuse for himself. Isn't this sick?
"Prove yourself." Gin said coldly, "Kill that FBI and we won't pursue him this time."
Jacobs' expression froze slightly, and his originally indifferent face began to look awkward.
"I have the same attitude." Grange said beside him. He was getting older, his voice was no longer strong, and he looked tired and old.
But compared to this old-looking voice, his appearance still looks like that of a man in his prime - oily hair combed back, with not a single white hair to be picked out; square-framed glasses, making the whole person appear rigid and steady; wearing a black suit , compared to the sportswear-like action clothes of the Operations Department and the windbreakers of the Supervision Department, he looks more like a successful person.
Grange's posture is tall and straight, and he sits as if he were holding a shareholders' meeting in a company.
Gin and Jacobs are not surprised that he is like this. In the words of Jacobs before, he said: "He looks like a human being."
Seeing that Grange had also spoken, Gin opened his mouth to characterize the incident.
"Hey." Kuroki Jin interrupted quickly. He was younger than Jacobs, and his tone of voice was full of youthful liveliness: "Listen to me."
"Porto." Grange's eyes fell on Kuroki for the second time. He smiled kindly and said, "What is the opinion of the director of the operations department?"
Although it was a question, the tone of Grange's words was more like a question.
Kuroki Jin faces Gin's sarcastic comments and even shots all day long. How can he be afraid of you? So he looked back at him with a smile and said, "I thought that as a businessman, Mr. Cao Jian should know how to maximize profits."
He didn't wait for Grange to react, then looked at Gin with a sincere look: "The FBI's mad dogs came to Japan for no apparent reason and are still wandering around Tokyo. I think there is no better opportunity than this to find out their movements. .”
"You mean, let Jacobs play a guest role as an intelligence agent?"
Kuroki Jin pressed down the corner of his mouth that was about to twitch, still looking like he was trying to organize himself, "I think rather than killing Judy alone and alerting more investigators who don't know if there are more investigators, it's better to leave this target. Here, let’s have another target to keep an eye on.”
Gin nodded slightly, then turned to look at Grange, "What's Grange's opinion?"
Grange frowned slightly, glanced at the other three people present, and sneered: "I have no objection."
"Then it's settled." Gin stopped hesitating and made a decision directly, "Jacob's Creek is responsible for inquiring about information. Potter, you can help me."
Jacobs nodded slightly in agreement, while Kuroki's expression froze, and his small eyes were filled with confusion, as if he was asking: Why do you still have something to do with me?
Gin glanced at him, and Kuroki Jin immediately said: "Okay, no problem."
Things seemed to be settled just like that.
When Grange and Jacobs left the interrogation room, Kuroki's original dignified sitting posture suddenly collapsed, and he leaned back and became decadent.
Gin didn't care about him, just thinking about something quietly. This silence made Kuroki Ren, who was secretly glancing at him, feel a little uneasy.
"I said Gin, it's such a big deal, why bother asking me to make a trip."
He was good at opening up topics. If Kuroki Jin hadn't been a talkative person, he might have been choked to death like Vodka when he was around Gin.
"The effect will be better." Gin explained lightly, and then asked: "Didn't Belmode tell you that the FBI people returned to China?"
Kuroki Ren's expression turned bitter, and his whole person looked extremely miserable. "You know Gin, that guy from Belmode... always has some bad taste."
He didn't say whether Belmode had told him or not, and called him back.
As expected, Gin stopped focusing on this topic, and just reminded Kuroki Jin to pay attention to the FBI's movements next time, and cleared him out of the interrogation room.
Kuroki Ren left with a smile. The moment the door closed, his expression became heavy, and then he turned back to the youthful expression unique to a young man.
Outside the door, Jacobs was waiting for him.
"Thanks." He knew that Kuroki didn't smoke, so he didn't give him a cigarette. Instead, he held a cigarette in his mouth and blew out the smoke. "If you hadn't come, I would have killed someone on my hands."
"Didn't it happen before?"
"...I have." Jacobs' expression turned ferocious for a moment, "But this won't work."
"I said," Kuroki Ren rarely said seriously, "Aren't you...?"
"So what about the FBI." Jacobs's eyes were lowered, making it difficult to see the emotions inside. "What I want, I will definitely get."
He liked Judy's appearance, and the two of them had a common hobby of loving games and endless topics to talk about. He doesn't lack money, but he lacks someone who can resonate with him on a spiritual level.
Coincidentally or not, Judy did it all.
"As long as she is no longer an FBI agent, the organization will leave her alone."
Jacobs threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the trash can and made a quick decision in his mind.
