Just when Toru Amuro felt that Asakura was not hopeless, he decided to make a plan and prepared to instigate the opposition's top official beyond his own control.
On the other side, Akai Shuichi, also known as Rye Whiskey, was busy working.
Because the person who is optimistic about him is Gin, and Gin's personality is not quite the same as Brandy's.
It is not difficult to gain Brandy's trust. As long as he can be sure that someone's most important information is in his own hands, then he will trust that person like a confidant. Of course, the implication is that if that person has nothing to do with anything, even if he and Brandy go through life and death, it will be difficult for the latter to trust him with his back.
Shuichi Akai is such a character.
Based on Asakura Makoto's understanding of him, this guy would not give up his established goal for some reason. In the original historical development, even if he kept saying that Miyano Akemi was his true love, he would not be able to capture Gin. At that time, he did not take into account the situation Miyano Akemi would face after the failure.
Perhaps he took this into consideration, but in his eyes, the sacrifice of true love was not that important compared to the success of successfully arresting Gin.
Asakura is the most trustworthy person who would give up true love and firmly choose to implement the plan.
But having said that, Asakura is really a bit weird. He doesn't believe that others will be loyal to him from the bottom of their hearts, but he does believe that there is a bond between others that can sacrifice for each other.
Question people's emotions, but believe in them.
He doesn't believe those subordinates who are grateful to him because he has won their hearts. Instead, he will believe that they care about their families and friends.
Perhaps in his heart, he believes that the loyalty that can be bought is not as good as the loyalty that comes from the heart.
Compared with him, it was much easier to win over Gin.
Killing is the fastest way to gain his trust, and there is only one way to make Gin trust you more, and that is to kill more efficiently.
After being vigorously cultivated by Gin, Akai Shuichi naturally needs to perform as many tasks as possible. The more blood on his hands, the faster his promotion will be——
As for the so-called promotion to the core cadre of the organization without touching anyone's blood...it's better not to be so whimsical.
Akai Shuichi stood at the bus stop, waiting for the bus to stop.
He leaned against the side of the stop sign, using the smooth surface of the metal pillar to observe the surrounding environment reflected in it.
Perhaps it was due to suspicion or some kind of intuition. In the past two days, he always felt a prying gaze for no reason. However, after several observations, no matter whether he controlled the speed of driving or took a taxi, he could not find out what was secretly there. The person following.
It is not a trivial matter for an undercover agent to be followed by an unidentified person during an undercover mission. If the organization discovers his suspicions and takes investigation action, he will be very passive without knowing it, and may even be unknowingly His identity was exposed instantly, causing the entire mission to fail.
No anti-theft
In order to leave a loophole for himself and to easily find potential stalkers, Akai Shuichi chose public transportation, a crowded and confusing way of traveling.
He was betting that the other person would blend in with the crowd and end up in the same room as him.
The bus slowly pulled into the station and people waiting lined up to get on the bus. Shuichi Akai walked at the front of the queue. He wanted to give the other party a chance to get in the queue without leaving any trace.
In the dark, a person sitting in the station and reading a magazine saw him lining up in the queue. After closing the magazine, he got up and followed the end of the queue.
Akai Shuichi looked at the reflection of the bus window and saw that there were basically no people who wanted to get on the bus. His legs that he had just taken to climb up the steps of the bus suddenly stopped and he immediately left the team as if he had remembered something. He hurried to a convenience store not far away.
"Sorry, just a pack of cigarettes, please hurry up."
He took out a banknote and slapped it in front of the cashier. His eyes fell on the queue. Now he could see the details of the people who got on the bus. If he waited until the bus was blocked by seats and crowds, it would not be so simple to observe. .
"Please keep it." The cashier looked at the bill, took out the most expensive cigarette in the store, mixed it with change and handed it to Akai Shuichi's hand.
After getting it, Akai Hide quickly returned to the end of the waiting queue without even looking at it.
If Asakura Makoto were replaced here, the subsequent actions would most likely be to just walk away and let the possible enemies drive away. However, Akai Shuichi was different. He had to catch the person who was following him and find out what his purpose was. What.
Three or four people in the team looked at him a few times. After all, the person at the front ended up at the end for no apparent reason, which could still attract some people's curiosity.
Noticing their gazes, Akai Shuichi raised the unopened cigarette case in his hand, showing that he was just a smoker's pipe.
Who could it be?
After diverting the attention of irrelevant people, he began to take advantage of the space at the end of the team to observe the surrounding environment. If someone could not control himself and observed him from the team at this moment, that person would be discovered by Akai immediately.
The result is - no one seems suspicious.
This result was as if the sight he felt was just the unconscious suspicion of being undercover for a long time.
Shuichi Akai got on the bus and the bus started driving along the road.
At this time, on the side of the road, a woman dressed as a tourist with a camera hanging around her neck looked at the bus going away. She took out the camera to focus for a while, took a photo of the rear of the bus, and then continued along the road, taking pictures of her. Think novel scenery.
Logically speaking, Shuichi Akai should be suspicious of this upright appearance of wearing a camera, but who made this woman too conspicuous? When Shuichi Akai was waiting for the bus, he kept clicking the shutter in his hand, and she didn't look like an undercover stalker at all. agent, but rather like meeting an ardent fan of an idol.
With that outfit, if you look inside from the unclosed zipper of the backpack, you can vaguely see the corner of a map of tourist attractions, coupled with unique Japanese-style jewelry that locals rarely buy, and an obvious foreign face.
There is no doubt that she is more like a tourist coming to the island country for the first time than a well-trained agent.
On the bus, Akai Shuichi peered at the woman's movements through the window, and saw that she continued to take photos after he left, so she was ruled out as a suspect.
Now--
He turned his eyes to the inside of the bus and looked at these seemingly normal passengers one by one.
Although there was no evidence to prove that the stalker was among these people, Shuichi Akai felt a purposeful gaze on him from the moment he got in the car.
This feeling is very subjective, but he believes that this is his intuition warning him that there is definitely a ghost hiding among the people in this car.
