"Wait, chasing Rye?!"
Scotland nodded.
"Is that the guy who has long hair like Gin, looks a little dull, and seems to be mute?"
The gray-haired young man asked enthusiastically,
"Well, okay, this is a bit unfamiliar to ask. Of course I know who Rye Whiskey is, but I'm actually not familiar with him..."
They were already back in the car, and the next step was to head to the coordinates Gin had given them. Scotland threw his sniper rifle to Kawakami Tsumugi——
Because in this mission, Kawakami Tsumugi was assisting, so except for two Colts and lemon candies, he didn't bring any handy weapons.
As for the sniper rifle, Scotland still has one in the trunk, so it can be used when the time comes...
Scotland glanced at Tsumugi Kawakami, who, facing the exposure of the undercover, made no secret of his emotion of watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
But I can't see anything other than schadenfreude.
He couldn't help but think about whether Kawakami Tsumugi behaved like this in front of Gin when he was exposed - in fact, thinking about this made Scotland uncomfortable. He had to silently recite "Scotland is loyal to the organization" several times in his heart and selectively forget about himself. It's a fact that the police are undercover.
So is Tsumugi Kawakami a good actor, or is he as "loyal to the organization" as he is?
"Rye is not easy to deal with." Scotland said, "Sit tight, Kashasha, I'm going to speed up."
Scotland stepped on the accelerator, and his fingers involuntarily clenched the steering wheel until they turned white.
How did rye whiskey come to light?
If the identity of Rye Shuichi Akai is not fake, is this some action from the FBI, or is it... a follow-up to his incident?
And, does this have anything to do with Tsuyoshi Kawakami?
Thinking of this, Scotland casually observed the gray-haired young man in the passenger seat:
Kawakami Tsumugi was checking his sniper rifle, and at the same time he did not forget to stuff lemon candy into his mouth... After noticing Scotland's gaze, the gray-haired young man hurriedly held the candy wrapper in his hand, trying to pretend that he was not fishing.
Scotland looked away silently.
Even if the exposure of the rye whiskey was really related to Kashasha, he felt that... the current Kawakami Tsumugi probably didn't know anything——
Judging from the fact that he was brainwashed, it is difficult to explain clearly how Kawakami Tsumugi was tortured by the organization.
As for why you doubt Kawakami Tsumugi?
After discovering that the brainwashing had not completely distorted his thinking, Scotland gradually pieced together the truth of the incident from different people:
Kashasha identified Rye Whiskey after he was exposed, claiming that Rye was the real undercover and that Scotland was just innocently implicated. This gave him a chance to breathe, so that when he entered the interrogation room, he could rely on drugs to eliminate suspicion.
However, because there was insufficient information to prove that Rye was an undercover agent, they all stayed in the organization.
And with Kashaxia's infallible character, since he identified Rye Whiskey, he would definitely find - or forge - evidence that could put Rye to death.
This evidence may not have been found by the organization at first, but maybe it still plays a role now...
With his mind spinning, Scotland was speeding on the road. After running through two traffic lights, he suddenly stepped on the brakes.
"--what happened?"
Kawakami Tsumugi, who was strangled by the seat belt, stabilized himself on the passenger seat. He rubbed his neck and asked Scotland.
"It's okay, I don't need to rendezvous with Gin."
Scotland answered Kawakami Tsumugi's question, "Gin issued a large-scale fatwa, well... just like the time I was exposed."
Hearing this, Kawakamiji's brain has already thought out a series of guesses.
Since Gin issued an order to hunt down Rye Whiskey, it means that Gin did not control Rye instantly when he was exposed.
This is normal. According to Kawakami's arrangement, in order to test the system, Kawakami always has to give Rye time to run, otherwise he will not be able to trigger the effect of "changing the established destiny".
[But currently, it seems that although Rye Whiskey is in a crisis of identity exposure, there is no mission to trigger the system. 】The Mad Hatter said in Kawakami's mind.
[It is very possible that the system did not respond because things developed beyond my expectations...]
Kawakamiji thought,
[I sent a distress message to the FBI in Japan in the name of rye whiskey, and then reported the rye problem to Gin in the name of Miyano Akemi almost at the same time. This created a time lag. 】
Kawakami was completely sure that Rye Whiskey was from the FBI, or relied on the information found in Miyano Akemi's communication tool.
How should I put it... This girl discovered that something was wrong with her boyfriend. Instead of reporting it to the organization, she even considered covering up Rye...
Tsk, I can only say that love brain kills people.
Kawakami, who couldn't stand it, was helpless at the actions of his pig teammates. He simply wrote a letter of report to Gin in the tone of Miyano Akemi to report the rye whiskey, without having to bother with fabricating information.
[The FBI has received a distress signal from its undercover agent and will most likely take action. At this time, Rye will be able to discover his exposure before Gin comes to the door...
But not too soon. It's almost like gin can control rye in a certain area, but it shouldn't turn into a city-wide manhunt like in Scotland...]
This is the unreasonable thing that Kawakami thinks.
According to his plan, Rye couldn't run too far, unless Gin was too weak to control Rye - which was almost impossible, Gin never lost control.
This should be another situation. When the FBI received the distress message and approached Rye Whiskey, someone had already notified him in advance. Therefore, Rye had enough time to run far away, at least to where the fatwa was issued. situation.
As for whether this advance notice was expected by Gin, or simply because Gin planned to let go...
"So now it has evolved from fighting around undercover agents to a large-scale cat-and-mouse game, right..." Tsumugi Kawakami complained, "Gin is not good, it can make Rye run away, it's just——"
"Ah, one more thing." Scotland interrupted Kawakami, "Gin asked me to hunt down Rye directly and asked you to meet with his people, so we have to part ways."
The cat-eyed young man couldn't help but smile apologetically at Kawakami Tsumugi.
But no matter how real the guilt was, it could not cover up the fact that Scotland politely asked Kawakami to get out of the car - the gray-haired young man stood on the roadside with an indifferent expression, carrying his laptop and a guitar bag, looking at Scotland Driving away in a white car.
I was also slapped with car exhaust fumes.
According to Gin's order, they had to split up, but Scotland was too straightforward now. This disposable posture is the same as Gin and Belmode.
[I feel like this Scotland now, this Scotland now... haha. 】
Kawakami couldn't help but eat a few lemon candies and wrapped himself tightly in a windbreaker. At this time, the effect of the warm-up patch was still there but the cold wind was still biting. To a certain extent, such coldness could ensure the functioning of his mind.
It can only be said that if you follow the good and follow the bad, it will be ruined. It didn't take long for Scotland to be led by gin.
Kawakami's selective forgetfulness of the possibility of brainwashing allowed Scotland to reveal his true nature.
But if you think about it carefully, it's Gin's fault. If Gin hadn't avoided Kawakami Tsumugi, but contacted him directly, he would have been responsible for the planning task, and Kawakami Tsumugi wouldn't have fallen into this state of confusion. Please get off the dilemma.
Thinking of this, the gray-haired young man couldn't help but contact Gin and asked:
"It's not what I said, Gin, are you excluding me? Is there anything you can't communicate with me directly and must be relayed through Scotland? Or do you want to say that you don't want to talk to me?"
Hearing Kashasha's question, Gin's answer was full of indifference: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now, Kashasha. Come and join us as quickly as possible."
"Fine."
Kawakami made a compromise. After all, Kashaxia still cares about the mission at this stage. Even if the gin is a failure, he will temporarily endure it.
"I'll be right over, but what's going on over there in Rye? And why is my mission different from Scotland?"
