Chapter 23
The old man was killed.
Toru Amuro recalled the scene when Scotch Whisky, who was Toru Amuro's childhood friend, was killed.
At that time, Morobushi Keimitsu's public security identity was exposed in the organization, and the members of the organization were hunting him down.
And Morobushi Keimitsu sent a text message to Toru Amuro.
[Sorry, Furuya, those guys found out my public security identity. It seems that I can only escape to another world. Goodbye, Zero. ]
When Toru Amuro rushed to the rooftop where Morobushi Keimitsu was, he only saw Morobushi Keimitsu who had lost his life and Akai Shuichi holding a pistol.
Toru Amuro has never forgotten what Akai Shuichi said to him at that time.
[Didn't you hear? This guy is a lackey of the Japanese Public Security. Unfortunately, the cell phone in his chest pocket was also shot through, and in the end, the true identity of this guy was not found out. It feels like killing a ghost, which is really unpleasant...]
At that time, Shuichi Akai and Keimitsu Morobushi were several steps apart.
However, according to Kamiya Minetsuki, the ballistic test conducted by the organization members showed that Keimitsu Morobushi was shot at close range with a pistol, and the pistol was indeed Shuichi Akai's.
If it was really Shuichi Akai who shot Keimitsu Morobushi, Shuichi Akai should have blood on his body at such a close distance.
Amuro Toru can be sure that Shuichi Akai did not have blood on his body at that time.
Moreover, Shuichi Akai said that 'the cell phone in the chest pocket was also shot through'. Since it was shot at close range, it makes no sense that he did not know the cell phone that Keimitsu Morobushi placed on his chest.
And at that time, Toru Amuro checked Keimitsu Morobushi's right hand.
The right hand of Keimitsu Morifushi was covered in blood, but there was no blood on the tip of his thumb and the back of his hand.
Putting these details together, we get a result that Toru Amuro cannot accept.
This means that Keimitsu Morifushi pulled the trigger with his thumb and shot himself.
It was suicide!
These details should have been thought of by Toru Amuro, who has excellent reasoning ability.
But the death of his best friend made Toru Amuro lose his basic judgment.
And the words that Shuichi Akai said with an attitude of "punishing traitors" at that time, and the pistol that belonged to Shuichi Akai.
Let Toru Amuro believe that Shuichi Akai killed Keimitsu Morifushi.
Or... Toru Amuro actually noticed it a long time ago.
After Shuichi Akai exposed his identity as an FBI, Toru Amuro noticed it.
Shuichi Akai, who is an FBI, and Keimitsu Morifushi of the Japanese Public Security Bureau are alone on the rooftop.
Shuichi Akai didn't have to kill the official member Morobushi Kagemitsu who was also an undercover agent.
But Toru Amuro couldn't accept this result, but accepted a result he wanted.
Now the result Toru Amuro wanted was exposed by Kamiya Minetsuki, forcing him to accept the unacceptable result.
Toru Amuro covered his cheeks with both hands, and his expression at this time could not be seen.
But the tears dripping from his fingers showed how sad Toru Amuro was at this time.
Toru Amuro lowered his hands, his eyes full of hatred.
Because there was a detail that was inseparable from Shuichi Akai.
Pistol!
Shuichi Akai's pistol!
"Such a capable person, but he failed to stop Kagemitsu from committing suicide. There were obviously many ways that did not require Kagemitsu to sacrifice! Shuichi Akai!"
Toru Amuro gritted his teeth. Although he had figured everything out, Toru Amuro's resentment towards Shuichi Akai did not decrease at all.
After calming down, Toru Amuro took out his cell phone and made a call.
Soon after, a car stopped in front of Toru Amuro.
After getting in the car, Toru Amuro said directly to the man sitting in the driver's seat: "Please prepare a ticket to New York for me tomorrow."
"Zero, why are you going to New York all of a sudden?"
The man driving the car was Toru Amuro's companion, who was also a member of the public security.
Toru Amuro said in a bad tone: "To find someone."
Then Toru Amuro edited his cell phone and sent a photo.
In the photo, Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan helped the drunk Kamiya Minazuki out of the izakaya.
"Investigate the identities of the two children in the photo, and send me the information after the investigation."
Toru Amuro crossed his hands, his eyes were extremely deep, and he muttered to himself in his heart.
'Are we both secretists... Golden Barley Wine, it seems that you have a lot of secrets. In this case, I will take off the secrets hidden in you one by one and reveal them all to me! '
...
On the other side.
Kamiya Minetsuki returned to his residence and lay on the bed with his arms and legs spread out.
Kamiya Minetsuki felt troubled when he thought that Amuro Toru had set his sights on him.
Kamiya Minetsuki was sure that Amuro Toru would investigate Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran.
Although he could not find out anything, Kamiya Minetsuki felt unhappy when he thought that Amuro Toru would investigate him.
And because of Akai Shuichi, Amuro Toru had set his sights on him, Kamiya Minetsuki was even more unhappy.
"I earned all my hard-earned money. The price will increase depending on the situation. This price is not commensurate with my efforts at all."
Kamiya Minetsuki sighed.
A long period of time passed.
During this period of time, Kamiya Minetsuki had not seen Vermouth, Amuro Toru and other code-named members of the organization except Gin and Vodka.
Most of the missions he received were solo missions, and a small part were missions with Gin and Vodka.
However, Kamiya Minetsuki secretly visited Miyano Akemi, and after confirming that she was stable, he stopped disturbing her.
After all, Miyano Akemi's identity was too sensitive. If other members of the organization saw him, some uncontrollable situations would inevitably occur.
Kamiya Minetsuki, who had no mission, came to the pachinko parlor to play as usual.
Not long after he sat down and played, the phone vibrated.
After answering the phone, Gin's voice came: "Where?"
"Pinball parlor, what? Is there a mission?"
"There is a mission, to clean up a rat in the organization, at 6 o'clock in the evening, in front of the SG Club bar, license plate Shinjuku 48-3923, a bomb is installed on this car."
"Okay, I know."
Kamiya Minetsuki hung up the phone, played for a while, and then looked at the time. It was almost half past five, and it would take about half an hour to drive to the place Gin said.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Kamiya Minetsuki left the pachinko parlor.
It was raining heavily now.
Kamiya Minetsuki rode his beloved Harley motorcycle parked on the street, put on a helmet, and sped away.
Five fifty in the afternoon.
Kamiya Minetsuki arrived at the SG Club bar.
The SG Club bar is a bar run by members of the organization. It is not open to the public, but only to members of the organization.
Gin's Porsche 356A was parked in the parking space on the street.
After a glance, he found that there was no car with the license plate Shinjuku 48-3923 in the parking space, so it should not have arrived yet.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, the white car with the license plate Shinjuku 48-3923 finally arrived.
After parking in the parking space, a young man got out of the car and walked into the bar.
Kamiya Minetsuki came to the man's car, pried open the car lock, and installed a trigger bomb on the car.
