To some extent, Team Zero was built specifically to fight that organization, at least for the most part.
They have only one path, so there will be fewer eyes from all forces. In contrast, those who can join the Zero Group will undergo extremely strict scrutiny.
For example, bourbon, or Amuro Toru, or Fengtani Rei.
Strict background checks and Zero Group’s powerful identity modification capabilities prevent current wineries from finding any flaws in him. Therefore, after the mission failed, Toru Amuro faced Rum's interrogation calmly.
In fact, Tohru Amuro has already drafted the manuscript, but he is still hesitating about which version of the manuscript to use.
"You are very relaxed. It seems that you have a good explanation for this failed mission, Bourbon."
Rum's voice echoed in the ward, distorted by the voice changer, making it indistinguishable from men, women, children.
He was separated into a single ward. When he left, Kashasha said goodbye to him happily and wished him a severe scolding from his boss.
"It's really a relief. Being in the same ward with Kashasha is simply torture." Bourbon said.
"What explanation do you have for this failed mission?" Rum asked.
"First of all, I did things poorly and failed to adapt to changes." As an opening statement, Toru Amuro first reviewed himself, "However, I think there is something wrong with Kashasha.
He had no real intention of completing the mission. "
…………
"...I admit, sir, I have a big problem with the failure of this mission."
Kawakami's humbly self-examination and sincere expression are exactly the same as the one after the research institute was bombed.
He is still very good at admitting his mistakes when facing his top boss. In order to make the scene more solemn, Kawakami put on an oversized hospital gown. The feeling of the ointment sticking to the skin and fabric made his hair stand on end.
He hated this feeling, the ointment clinging to his clothes and skin, as if something was grabbing it with tentacles.
As Kawakami expected, the day after he was admitted to the medical room, the winery separated him from Bourbon and interrogated him separately.
Of course, this level of interrogation is relatively mild. It only involves repeated questioning and using the environment to create oppression. It has not yet reached the level of confessional agents, physical abuse and mental abuse.
It was that gentleman who interrogated Kawakami Tsumugi.
This made Kawakami feel excited.
Because this mission is not on the same level as the theft of data from the institute. According to the procedure, it would be enough for Gin to interrogate him.
Maybe the gentleman will tell him the identity of Barolo's undercover agent?
"It seems that you are also aware of it." The gentleman said calmly, "Aside from doing other things during the mission, tampering with the mission process without authorization, and marginalizing your partners during the operation, what other mistakes did you make?"
...This is not easy to answer.
It seems that the gentleman seems a little angry?
Kawakami racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to slander himself for a long time. After a long time, he choked out: "The biggest mistake was the failure of the mission."
The implicit meaning is that as long as the mission does not fail, the previous ones are not a problem.
The gentleman laughed angrily.
"I am willing to accept any form of punishment." Kashasha suppressed another sentence.
After finishing speaking, Kashasha lowered his head and stared at the sheets without saying a word. The attitude of admitting his mistake seemed quite sincere, exactly the same as last time.
"Kashasha, you did not misjudge the situation. There was someone from the public security behind that policeman, so you contacted Gin in advance and carried out an encirclement and suppression of the police forces.
Compared to other members, it is quite perfect, but this is not your level. Because the initial mission was not completed, we still don’t know how they got the clue. "
...Thank you very much for your consideration.
As for how you got the clues, I suggest you go to Barolo’s office and take a look yourself.
Kawakami knew that Bourbon could not protect him and would most likely complain, so he still told part of the truth:
"I was careless. The explosion was indeed unexpected. Before going on the mission, I checked their production area and found that the parameters of many instruments had been adjusted.
I inquired about the identity of the policeman who lurked in: a high-achieving undergraduate chemistry student. He has authority and access to the production area.
Therefore, I suspect that the explosion was probably done by the mission target. As for whether it was the order of the police, I have no way of knowing. "
…………
"It's unexpected that those gangsters would detonate a bomb factory." Toru Amuro explained the situation to his boss, "So, Kashasha got away with it."
Yes, after thinking about it, Toru Amuro still blamed himself for the explosion.
Why not identify Kashasha?
First of all, he has no evidence.
Toru Amuro knew that the explosion was caused by Kashasha because he was an undercover agent of the police. He knows best whether the police have done this or not.
However, if you put aside this identity and look at it from the perspective of an organizational member:
There is no flaw in Kashasha.
The only suspicion was that he visited the production line before the arrest. But looking back now, during the entire "visit", Kashasha did not touch those instruments.
Even if Bourbon knew it was him, he didn't know how.
And even if he firmly identifies Kashasha, Toru Amuro believes that with Kashasha's sharp-tongued character, he will definitely be able to come up with a convincing reason.
Second, Bourbon doesn’t know Kashasha’s motives.
Why did he go out of his way to create an explosion? Are you just bored and want to set off some fireworks?
When there is insufficient information, we cannot make preconceptions, let alone alert the enemy. Bourbon plans to investigate this matter privately.
"Do you think the failure of this mission was due to Kashasha?" Rum asked.
This was obviously a trap, and Toru Amuro didn't respond at all.
"I was injured during the mission and it was delayed. However, I don't think Kashasha took this mission seriously."
Toru Amuro had already told Rum about Kashasha's various escapades before, so this sentence was just a summary.
"I know," Rum said.
After another five minutes, Rum announced:
"You did a great job. This mission debriefing is over, Bourbon."
The faint red light of the camera went out quietly.
Bourbon sat silently for a few more minutes, then collapsed on the bed as if his strength had been taken away in an instant.
…
Kawakami Tsumugi was still chatting with that gentleman.
For Kawakami, it is useless to ask the same question repeatedly, or to ask the same thing repeatedly with different questions.
Because of his hyperamnesia, he can face the same question a week or even half a year later and repeat the same answer word for word, even with the same tone of voice.
Therefore, the gentleman's interrogation only lasted about 20 minutes, and the rest of the time they were doing their usual business.
To be honest, this kind of "making things normal" is more difficult to deal with than interrogation, and it is easy to reveal flaws or logical loopholes inadvertently.
But Kawakami Tsumugi has always been good at talking nonsense, and he discussed with the gentleman various interesting things about Yoneka Town and his previous thesis: "Crime Convergence Caused by Social Influence."
It's just that the clothes have been stuck to the body for a long time, and the itching is uncomfortable. In this case, it is difficult for Kawakami to reach out and scratch, so chatting is very painful.
He knew that Mr. Bourbon should be waiting for a confession from Bourbon in order to identify how much he had selectively hidden.
So why is Bourbon so slow... Kawakami Tsumugi complained in his heart.
Judging from the way he is quarreling with others, he is not stuttering, right?
