It has been nearly a month since Tsumugi Kawakami terminated their partnership.
Scotland's biggest feeling is that his undercover career is finally on the right track.
As long as Gin is online during the entire mission, he doesn't care where you are. As a result, Scotland was finally able to steadily deliver intelligence to his top line.
Although they are just small fish and shrimps that are not very important. But they have opened up a set of suitable and quick contact methods.
Moreover, Gin's suspicion is much easier to deal with than Kawakami Tsumugi's way of putting on an all-seeing expression from time to time and saying a few specious words.
At least Scotland could quickly figure out what was wrong with them instead of having to guess for a long time and still be terrified.
So, the Riddler gets out of the organization.
Scotland added the prepared miso soup from the pot.
Under the influence of Kawakami Tsumugi, he subconsciously made soup sweet. The Scottish taste is a bit sweet.
But Kawakami Tsumugi has not completely left his life.
Scotland discovered this from a small detail: the pothos.
A week later, Scotland discovered that Kawakami Tsumugi occasionally sneaked over to water the pothos at night, mainly because Scotland was watering it every day. The direct result was that the pothos almost drowned again due to overwatering - this was no longer the case. I know which pot of pothos it is.
In order to confirm his guess, Scotland conducted a small experiment:
He bought two large packs of lemon candies and put them on the coffee table. Sure enough, the lemon candies mysteriously disappeared the next day.
...He knew that there was no way that Tsuji Kawakami could bear not to take away the lemon candy.
Therefore, sometimes Scotland really can't figure out what Tsumugi Kawakami is doing.
It was he who proposed the dissolution of the partnership, and now he comes here every day to water the green plants, instead of just taking them away. Maybe he knows that he will easily die if he keeps them...
After dinner, Scotland took out a few packets of lemon candies from the shopping bag and placed them on the coffee table as usual. Kawakami Tsumugi would not come every night. This way, the frequency of his visits could be inferred.
However, the frequency of visits this month was irregular. Sometimes Kawakami would come for several days in a row, sometimes at intervals, up to a week.
But if you can't understand Kawakami Tsumugi's thoughts, don't understand him. Just maintain this tacit understanding, Scotland thought.
…………
While browsing the organization's task list, Scotland received the news that he was online through an advertisement pop-up window. This time, he was needed to assist the public security in a mission.
"A video tape circulating on the dark web?" Scotland's expression became solemn, "There is such a rampant thing..."
Two days ago, the police’s informant on the dark web reported that an organization on the dark web was distributing bloody videos.
They not only spread it, but also regarded it as a bad business method, attracting countless perverts with twisted psychology to spend huge sums of money.
Different types of services can be obtained by paying different amounts of money. The victims are placed in front of the camera like livestock for selection. Advanced customers can even provide identity information to designate prey. Then, the process of the prey being tortured and killed will be revealed on camera.
Of course, the method of killing can also be specified, but it also requires money and is expensive. Therefore, the group's largest audience is people who simply buy gory videos.
And the base of that organization... is Japan.
His upline also sent a video, and Scotland watched the video with nausea.
He dared not look into the eyes of the victim inside. Because, in addition to making Scotland angry, it would also make him think of the numerous corpses under his own hands.
Scotland clicked the mouse to indicate that he had received the message.
The background of the ad pop-up window turned blue, and a line appeared on its own, then quickly disappeared:
[Your own safety is more important, don’t expose yourself. 】
The trading platform of this organization is based on the latest darknet island that appeared not long ago. The details of this dark network are not yet clear to the police, and it is not even ruled out that it is an organization.
But whether it is an organization or not, organizations in the dark must know more about this emerging dark network than the public security forces.
Therefore, the Scottish upline intends to use their organization as a springboard to bring to justice this group of scum who profit from the bloody videos.
【How can I help? 】In the input box, Scotland asked.
The background of the ad pop-up window flashed, and the Scottish upline replied to him, and new text appeared and disappeared:
[I will give you a device. All you have to do is to use the computer when the members of the organization are using it - I guess it will only work if they are code members. Turn on the device less than five meters away from the computer and leave it on for at least 120 seconds. 】
[You don’t have to worry about the rest. Also, don’t use your own computer, as it may leave traces. 】
It doesn't sound difficult... if you just get close and don't mess with the computer. Scotland thought.
As far as he knew, Vodka in the Gin team had been responsible for technical support. Now that he was working with Gin, he naturally had the opportunity to get close to Vodka.
【I see. 】
Scotland replied. He did not ask his liaison officer when the device would be handed over to him. This will naturally happen at short notice.
The vulgar picture on the ad pop-up window was changed, and another message was sent:
[This mission actually has little to do with fighting the organization. In principle, I shouldn't ask you for help... but we really want to bring those scum to justice. 】
Scotland understands the idea of going online, and anyone with a conscience who sees those videos would make the same choice as they did.
"It's okay, we are always cautious." Even though he knew that the people behind the screen couldn't hear, Scotland couldn't help but say softly.
Be cautious, but Scotland always remembers Kawakami Tsumugi's words, "And you are full of flaws."
Now that Scotland was under Gin's control, without Kashasha's personal surveillance, he became even more vigilant.
To be honest, at first the Scottish liaison officer also doubted whether the sudden loss of surveillance was because the organization was playing hard to get, but he was convinced by Scotland.
Scotland's undercover career was bound to begin, and it was impossible for the public security to spend so much manpower and material resources on letting him infiltrate the organization and do nothing.
While being persuaded, Scotland also told his online conjecture about Kashasha's true camp.
After getting records of CIA activities in Japan from the police, Scotland made a comparison. The CIA's biggest recent action is the kidnapping case of Reina Mizuno, a Japanese TV station.
And this case...Scotland remembers that Kawakami Tsuyoshi also paid attention to it.
During that time, he mysteriously disappeared several times, and after Rena Mizuno was the death of Armagnac, Tsumugi Kawakami was brought into the interrogation room. This seems to be another piece of evidence supporting the Scottish conjecture.
Although his supervisor didn't believe it, Scotland couldn't produce conclusive evidence.
In Scotland's view, the advertising pop-up window automatically closes.
This represents the end of this intelligence exchange. It seems that the liaison officer's sigh before leaving was just to vent his anger and did not require a response from him.

I’m so happy that the Little Black Room chapter has been released. I’m grateful for the unblocked kindness.
