Gin's Porsche stopped on the side of the road halfway through, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
There was a fork on the left side of the road, and not long after, another car pulled out of the fork and stopped in front of them.
Kawakami knew this car and had been in it once before. He instantly knew who was coming:
Curacao, Rum's right-hand man.
Kawakami Tsumugi hadn't seen this silver-haired woman with heterochromatic eyes for a while. But the words "I can remember you" are still fresh in his mind.
Curacao got out of the car, and Vodka and Gin also got out. Gin stepped forward to negotiate with Curacao, while Vodka opened the back seat and moved Bourbon out like potatoes.
After such repeated tossing, Bourbon's wound had already been torn open again, and it was terrible to see.
But this also proves that he was not seriously injured, so he is not dead yet.
Kawakami politely sympathized with Bourbon, and thought for a second whether he needed help. Then he immediately thought of Gin's unkind suspicion before: "You are also suspicious yourself," so he sat in his seat with peace of mind.
As a suspect, he should avoid suspicion and not help.
Kawakami took a lemon candy.
He watched with amusement as Vodka delivered the bourbon to Curacao. Curacao was much more careful when she picked up Bourbon. She carefully helped her unconscious colleague into the passenger seat.
The movements were very gentle, and thinking back to what Curacao said to him last time they met, this girl is actually quite good. Kawakamiji commented in his heart.
But why put it on the passenger seat? He couldn't help but think.
Although cars in Curacao are equipped with anti-peeping films, it is still inappropriate to put an unconscious and injured person in the passenger seat.
Curacao seems to be quite kind to his colleagues, and there will be no situation like Kawakami Tsumugi who just throws away annoying people...
In other words, there is a high probability that there are other people or something in the back seat of the car.
Kawakami took another look at the car's tires and fenders:
It's stained with fresh mud. It hasn't rained recently. According to the route planning at the intersection from Curacao, the best roads nearby will not cause water accumulation according to the terrain.
We didn’t take the best route, so coming here from Curacao may not be the way to go. Maybe come back halfway through other tasks. But that’s not necessarily the case…
If he could get closer and observe the details, Kawakami might be able to deduce a rough idea of Curacao's route.
But this is not necessary, he has already come up with several possibilities through guesswork.
Kawakami watched Gin and Vodka get back into the car. Gin's expression was as usual, and there was no clue.
As for vodka... he may not know what happened at all, and it is impossible for Kawakami to say anything in front of Gin.
The car started moving, and Scotland, who was in a coma, slid down the seat. Kawakamiji reached out and pulled him back onto the seat. He took the initiative to ask Gin:
"Which organization base are we going to?"
According to the rules of the organization, except for partnerships and special circumstances, members of different groups cannot meet privately. How Scotland and Bourbon came together still needs to be investigated. The investigation will definitely require a place to temporarily restrict Scotland's freedom.
Bourbon also needed to be investigated, but that was taken over by the intelligence team.
"According to the rules, I can't tell you right now."
Gin replied seriously, since Kashasha, who had never followed these rules and regulations, suddenly became honest, he would naturally want the other party to stay honest all the way.
Kawakamiji rolled his eyes, ate another lemon candy, and patiently explained:
"Regarding the 'abnormal situation' in Scotland, I have a witness. If I know the location in advance, I can ask her to go there in advance to save time."
Based on Gin’s performance, it’s probably just a process. In this case, the sooner it is dealt with, the better. Neither party has time to waste on this.
Gin said: "Last time it was the rat from Armagnac, but this time it's Scotland?"
Just like Kashasha looked at the opportunity to investigate Armagnac when he kidnapped Kiel last time, this guy should be eyeing Scotland this time, Gin thought.
After working together for a year, he still somewhat understands Kashasha's behavior. Kashasha likes to do business privately, maybe because he has been hanging out with Rum for a long time.
According to the response from the intelligence team, there is a high probability that Bourbon did not betray the organization.
Under such circumstances, it is quite doubtful whether Scotland has a problem. Maybe Scotland’s involvement in the matter was tricked by Kashasha.
If you want to investigate others but still have to go out of your way to find a valid reason, Kashasha is hypocritical.
"Tell me the organization's base. All you have to do is give the place name, Gin; or shut up."
Kawakamiji rubbed his temples. In the past few days, he had been working all night because he had to go out on duty before dawn because of the rye whiskey roll. He had not eaten breakfast and missed lunch because of Scotland.
In other words, he was feeling dizzy and his eyesight was dark. He had worked so hard before that it was nothing, but he was unbearably tired as soon as he relaxed in the car, so Kawakami didn't want to quarrel with Gin at all.
Gin still ignored Kawakami and lit a cigarette to pollute the air in the car.
…………
Curacao looked at Bourbon who was unconscious in the passenger seat, stretched out his hand to fasten his seat belt, and touched his hand with smooth blood.
She couldn't help but feel embarrassed in a rare way.
The best thing to do is to throw the bourbon in the back seat, but there is still the body of the mission target in the back seat.
Curacao neither wanted to put Bourbon and the target's body together, nor did they want Bourbon to sit in the passenger seat, which would easily arouse the suspicion of the traffic police.
Or stuff the body into the trunk? Curacao was even more reluctant, as the trunk was where she kept her equipment.
A girl's trunk is just like her makeup box. It is a very important place and should not be filled with strange things unless it is an emergency.
Return to Rum first, Curaçao thought.
"Bourbon has been found. The opponent was shot in the abdomen and is in urgent need of treatment." Curaçao reported to Rum on his mobile phone. "But the mission target... she committed suicide by taking poison. At the same time, a USB flash drive was found after searching."
"Have the bodies been brought back?" Rum asked.
"Bring it back."
"Come back as soon as possible."
"yes."
Curacao also wanted to ask Bourbon what to do, because there was no reliable place to treat her wounds where she returned to life. But Rum had terminated communications.
She could only put down her phone, take a look at Bourbon, whose condition was unknown, and then looked back at the body of the mission target.
The target of the mission is a woman, whom Curacao has been tracking. The transferred locator has caused some interference in her tracking, but it is not difficult to deal with.
As for how the bug got onto the wave itself...
Let Rum look into it. This question is not within the scope of her mission.
