Scotland took the doll.
He seriously thought about whether Kawakami Tsumugi was treating him like a child.
No. According to Kawakami's character, it is more likely that he is using himself to save others, and feels that he needs something to hold on to in order to sleep soundly.
So how do you tactfully remind your partner:
"My mental age is much older than yours, so I don't need this, thank you"?
Scotland didn't think of a way to tactfully remind Kawakami, so he took the doll over silently, but found that there was no place to put it, so he could only hug it to his chest.
Kawakamiji was satisfied this time and continued driving.
Although sleepy, Scotland was in no mood to sleep, especially with a member of the organization around.
To distract himself, Scotland played with the doll.
The workmanship is not very fine, the nose is sewn a little crooked, and the two round buttons are the dark eyes, which also look shiny.
Scotland looked into those eyes.
The mission just now came back like a ghost, once again engulfing his thoughts.

"Gin, what are you going to do on this mission?"
Scotland asked as they got into Gin's Porsche.
"Rye, you explain."
Rye Whiskey was as reticent as usual, and in a few words he made it clear to Scotland what they were currently doing:
Kill and silence.
The body of the company chairman who was shot dead by them before was not found, and he was treated as missing by the police.
But the chairman's wife, Tsukiko Aoki, has not given up. She has been urging the police to investigate the matter.
It wouldn't matter if it was just that, but the woman categorically claimed at the company press conference that her husband was threatened by a violent group.
Gin didn't bother to check whether the woman knew anything, he planned to shut her up directly.
After staying with Kawakami Tsumugi for a long time, Scotland couldn't help but start to think about the pros and cons of making gin:
Doesn’t this put the statement of “receiving threats from violent groups” into practice?
He immediately realized that even if it was implemented, it would be difficult for the police to find any clues due to the winery's superb ability to handle the scene.
It is precisely because the power of light is so weak that organizations in the darkness are so unscrupulous.
They arrived near their destination and got off the bus. Vodka took out a package from the trunk and handed it to Scotland.
Scotland opened it and saw it was a police uniform.
It's not any other clothes, it's a police uniform.
"What does this mean, role play?"
Scotland asked calmly.
"Big brother asked you to pretend to be a cop to attract that woman's attention and take the opportunity to kill him."
Vodka dutifully interpreted Gin's silence.
Scotland swallowed.
He finally understood why Gin wanted to capture him to carry out the mission.
He was the only one of the group who looked like a good guy in a police uniform—possibly along with Kashasha, but Kashasha wasn't here right now.
It's a bit ironic.
"As far as I know, that guy Kashaxia really likes to use this kind of technique to complete tasks." Gin sneered.
"Disguise? This is my first time wearing a police uniform."
Scotland's tone was relaxed, without revealing the slightest hint of what was in his heart, and even a little eager to give it a try.
It's certainly not his first time wearing a police uniform.
But when was the last time, graduation day?
Scotland didn't remember, and there was no point in thinking about it except to upset himself.
So he quickly changed into his police uniform and straightened his hat very carefully.
Gentle scum, looking like a dog. Scotland mentally evaluated himself.
"The problem is that it's so late, the mission target won't be suspicious?" Scotland found something suspicious.
"No." Gin said firmly, "When a desperate person only has one life-saving straw, he will have no time to take care of other things."
…………
At midnight, a policeman knocked on Ms. Aoki's door.
This villa is far away from the city and was bought by the Aoki family for emergencies.
It was remote, little-known, and at the same time heavily fortified and heavily guarded—or so it seemed to Ms. Aoki.
In the eyes of the organization, it didn't take much time to lock this place, and the so-called heavy defense was just an iron fence and electronic access control.
When Chairman Aoki accidentally "disappeared", he took away the oldest and most trustworthy bodyguards. And Ms. Aoki doesn’t dare to trust anyone anymore.
Therefore, there was only her and her daughter Aoki Kaguya in this villa.
There is an electronic device for communication on the pillar next to the gate. Scotland dialed in and the voice was urgent:
"Ms. Aoki, Ms. Aoki! We found major clues. The victim was indeed threatened by a violent group!"
The figure in police uniform was captured by surveillance and appeared in front of another person.
Inside the villa, Ms. Aoki wiped her face, and her eyes that were swollen from crying finally regained their luster.
Why did it arrive in the middle of the night, why was there no prior notice, why was there only one person and no sound of police cars nearby...
Ms. Aoki's mind was completely caught up in the word "major clue", and she did not consider these doubts at all.
"Have you found any clues?" Ms. Aoki asked tremblingly.
This sentence came from the communication device in front of the door, with an electronic sound and a crying tone. This tone of "Here comes the savior" made Scotland's heart choke.
But the scam continues.
"That's right," Scotland lowered his voice, "I'm sorry for disturbing you late at night. That violent group is very dangerous. For your safety, you must move as soon as possible-"
With a creak, the thick and tall iron door opened.
Inside the iron gate, the lights at the entrance to the villa came on.
Ms. Aoki opened the door. Her hair was disheveled and she was wearing professional clothes. It was obvious that she planned to stay up all night.
Although she looks miserable, this woman's eyes are filled with the light of hope.
Ms. Aoki ran down from the door.
"Mr. Police, may I ask -"
Scotland fired directly.
With a silencer installed, the sound of the bullet coming out of the chamber was not as loud as the sound of Ms. Aoki falling to the ground.
Scotland's marksmanship was accurate and penetrated her heart directly.
Ms. Aoki struggled for several seconds before dying. She made no sound.
"mission completed."
The blood snaked to Scotland's feet, like the tentacles of some creature. He took a small step back to avoid the blood.
"Search the villa. Aoki Tsukiko also has a daughter, Aoki Kaguya." Gin continued to order.
And a little kid? Scotland lowered his gaze to the ground, his hands clenched into fists.
"You didn't say that before."
Scotland's meaning is very clear. It's because you didn't make it clear. It's not his fault for not knowing.
In the car, Gin glanced at the rye whiskey in the back seat.
Previously, it was Rye who informed Scotland of the mission.
Rye whiskey and vodka were operating the machine, which was a signal jammer. When Tsukiko Aoki opened the iron door, the machine was activated.
Now, no one can get the word out.
"Sorry, I forgot."
Rye explained to Gin.
The two looked at each other, and Rye's green eyes were quite innocent.
