Although the organization cannot be said to be monolithic, it is definitely full of flaws.
Leaving aside the external undercovers, the official members with code names within the organization also have their own thoughts.
Speaking more broadly, Belmode, a close confidant of the boss, has always listened to orders rather than announcements. Although she will participate in the organization's actions, she has never reported to her superiors what she did during the actions and what she knew. Moreover - in the original work, She will shield Shirley, who has a problem with her, out of the desire to protect Xiaolan.
In the novel, Vodka, the seemingly stupid younger brother and driver, would only obey orders from Gin. For example, if Asakura really wanted him to do something, he would definitely ask Gin for permission first.
Vodka only agreed to do it with Gin's permission.
These things are the hidden factions in the organization.
And these factional differences will also secretly affect new members who join the organization.
The organization is very cautious in recruiting new members - for many mediocre people, they will not know that they are working for a huge criminal organization after working all their lives.
At this stage, they have no access to information related to the organization. The unit they work for is either a certain company or a small violent group, which has nothing to do with the organization.
Only a few capable people have the opportunity to come into contact with the organization and become peripheral members of the organization after going through credibility observation.
This is the case for Toru Amuro, who rose to prominence in the field that Asakura was responsible for, and because of his outstanding performance, he sneaked into the organization.
After that, he was vigorously cultivated by Brandy, and many things were left to him to handle.
Although in Toru Amuro's view, most of these things were trivial matters such as unloading goods at the dock and collecting express delivery, in the eyes of other official members, he seemed to have become Brandy's confidant.
Toru Amuro himself thinks so too, but out of the vigilance of an undercover agent, he is not yet completely sure.
"What's the matter?" Toru Amuro's voice was steady and emotionless, like a ruthless work machine.
They had just met in the bar not long ago, and he couldn't imagine the reason why Brandy called him at such a short interval.
"It's like this..." Asakura didn't talk nonsense and went directly to the topic, "I have some doubts about the FBI information. You should go and investigate first."
……Suspect? Amuro chewed on the meaning of these words and wondered if this might be some kind of temptation.
"Investigating who?"
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that if it was a test, Operation Brandy would not be so conspicuous. Calling him directly at this time would only make him suspicious.
"According to the FBI's information, Midorikawa Guang is an undercover police officer...but I don't really believe it."
Asakura's gentle voice came from the phone, and Amuro Toru felt cold in her heart when she listened to it - he was also an undercover police officer and knew that this information was indeed true, and Midorikawa Hikaru was his friend. If exposed...
hateful--
If the suspended animation plan is launched at this time... No, the organization must have strengthened its surveillance of Jingguang.
Forcibly exposing him and using Zhu Fu Jingguang as bait to trap and kill the members of the organization who were monitoring him - it would not work. If Brandy had only told me this news, I would have been suspected as soon as the incident came out -
At this moment, Toru Amuro's brain was running rapidly, trying to come up with a solution.
While he was thinking, Asakura continued: "Speaking of which, the way you and Midorikawa Hikaru became peripheral members of the organization..."
In the middle of speaking, Asakura was silent for a moment, as if he felt a little ashamed of his lying behavior. An honest and reliable person like me was actually forced to this point by an undercover agent, and continued: "I still trust him very much. .”
After all, the two of them are undercover agents of the Japanese police and are local snakes. It is not difficult to forge a flawless identity, so they can start from the lowest level and work their way up to the core.
As for Akai Shuichi, an FBI agent, if he wants to sneak into the organization quickly, he has to take a different path.
After hearing Brandy's words, Toru Amuro looked a little solemn.
"You mean-" He didn't use the honorific. This was Brandy's order, asking Toru Amuro to call him normally.
This is also an important reason why Toru Amuro is considered Brandy's confidant.
"Is there something wrong with the stars?"
Toru Amuro understood Brandy's implication almost instantly, and deduced that Moro Hoshida was probably an FBI undercover.
"Yes...so I hope you can investigate him." Asakura said, "And the timing of getting this information is also very clever. Although it was sent back by the organization's spies from the FBI, the three candidates , two positions, and suddenly I learned that one of them was an undercover police officer..."
What a coincidence... Toru Amuro thought to himself.
"Of course!" Asakura changed the topic, "It is possible that our spies suddenly get lucky. Although I don't believe in coincidences, there is indeed no shortage of coincidences in life... So, don't let me down."
"yes!"
Brandy hung up the phone and looked at the sign that the call had ended. Amuro Toru had an ugly expression.
In Brandy's words, he speculated on a possibility that sent shivers down his spine - the FBI deliberately leaked public security information in order to help Zhu Xingda achieve his position.
Impossible, this is too deliberate——
But soon, Toru Amuro suppressed this speculation. With the level of the FBI, he should not make such a substandard layout where the flaws can be seen at a glance.
...Having said that, what if it happens?
What if they did the opposite and deliberately used such obvious means to make others think that it could not be the work of the FBI.
Toru Amuro fell into a self-game.
And here, after the call ended, Asakura Makoto tore up the phone and threw it away, and continued to drive the car along the avenue. At the end of the road, the outline of the airport was already visible in the distance.
Over there, an ordinary-looking woman was standing on the side of the road, looking at the passing vehicles, trying to find the one that picked her up.
Soon, a gray car stopped in front of her, and there was no sound from the car.
Without changing her expression, the woman opened the door and got into the back seat.
"I didn't expect you to pick me up in person, Brandy..."
After she sat firmly, the car started and merged into the traffic.
"Ah, I didn't expect you to have such an ordinary face. This is not like you, Belmod."
Asakura looked at the woman leaning on the back of the chair in the rearview mirror.
The woman stretched out her hand and twisted her neck, tearing off the camouflage mask. Her silver hair fell away, revealing a face that could confuse all living beings.
"Disguise is so easy to use..." Looking at Belmod's movements, Asakura's eyes showed envy at the right time.
"Oh, I thought you would send that guy you trust to pick me up - tell me, what do you want to do when you come to me in such a hurry this time?"
"It's nothing..." Asakura Zhen returned his attention to the road in front of him, "I just want you to act like a person."
