Chapter 1346 Kuroda Heibei
In front of the stone tablet engraved with "Tomb of Yamamoto Doki", a burly man with his hands in his pockets was staring at the tombstone in front of him in a daze.

The man was wearing a neat brown suit. Looking from the side and back, one could see his gray hair and beard.

He should be Kuroda Bei, right?

Qin Zhibo adjusted his facial expression and walked forward.

"Hello……"

Hearing the voice behind him, the man turned around.

When Qin Zhibo saw the man's face, he immediately confirmed that the person in front of him was the Kuroda Heibei with whom he had agreed to meet.

Kuroda Beibei, male, 50 years old, police officer, social credit...

Qin Zhibo quickly glanced at Kuroda Heibei's basic information, and then looked at the other person's appearance.

It's a little different from what I imagined.

Kuroda Bei's face has a tough guy style, with a slightly darker skin color, and a sense of indifference and fortitude like T800.

It's just a battle damaged version.

Under the one-eyed sunglasses he wore, you could see large scars exposed outside the lenses.

Unlike the battle-damaged Nagano prefectural policeman we saw earlier, his scar was a burn-like scar, running from his cheekbone through his right eye to his forehead.

Seeing Qin Zhibo, Kuroda Beiwei spoke in his deep and hoarse voice.

"We finally meet, Detective..."

"Our conversation will have to wait a bit, as someone else will be coming over later."

Anyone else?
Qin Zhibo was surprised. Could it be the policemen he had just met?

But after all, I am a famous detective with a social credit of 12900. If those policemen were also the people I met this time, they should have recognized me just now.

who can that be?

Qin Zhibo did not ask his doubts, but walked calmly to the side of Kuroda Heiwei.

The two were silent.

During the silence, Kuroda Bei continued to stare at the stone tablet in front of him, his eyes filled with thought.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the profile of Kuroda Heibei and found that in addition to the scar on his eye, he also had deep nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose.

Looking at the basic information floating above Kuroda Heibei's head, Qin Zhibo's eyes flashed with a hint of thought.

Kurodabei's last name is Kuroda...

The results of Hakuba's previous investigation in London showed that the organization's boss Karasuma Renya was once a member of the British aristocratic Spencer family, and his mother's surname was Sera.

After his father's death, Karasuma Renya traveled across the ocean to Japan during the Meiji Restoration and established his own family here.

The family established by Karasuma Renya has a patriarch whose surname is Karasuma, that is, Karasuma Renya himself.

The surname of other members of the family was Kuroba, and later surnames such as Kurosawa and Kuroiwa were derived.

If we follow this surname rule, the surname "Kuroda" might also be a descendant of the Karasuma family...

Qin Zhibo thought about it for a moment and dispelled this doubt.

First of all, the surname Kuroda is a fairly common surname among Japanese people, and it is not uncommon to meet a descendant of Karasuma Renya.

In addition, judging from Kuroda Heibei's appearance, he is very different from the other descendants of the organization's boss Karasuma Renya.

Kuroda Beiwei has an obvious tough guy style and a square face.

Although I don’t know what he looked like before he was injured, I guess he didn’t look much different from now.

And Kuroba Kaito, Kuroba Toichi, the Kudo father and son, and even Gin Kurosawa Jin, are all handsome men with sharp faces, and any one of them can debut on their own...

Just then, the sound of running was heard from the other side of the park road.

Qin Zhibo and Kuroda Bingwei turned around when they heard the sound and saw a man in a sports hoodie running towards them.

Under the hood of the hoodie was a handsome face with dark skin.

It’s Toru Amuro!
Qin Zhibo recognized the person at a glance.

And Amuro Toru quickened his pace and came in front of the two of them, raised his hand to take off his hood, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm late..."

"I guess we didn't miss any important information, did we?"

When Kuroda Hei heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"You came at the right time. We haven't even started communicating yet..."

"Now that everyone is here, let's talk while we walk."

……

In the park, Qin Zhibo, Kuroda Beiwei, and Amuro Toru formed a new trio and strolled on the park's paths.

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised by Amuro Toru's arrival, so he was the first to ask, "If you come here, is everything okay over there?"

Toru Amuro replied, "I asked my boss at my part-time job for a few days off, so it doesn't count as skipping work."

"It's not a part-time job, it's..."

Qin Zhibo hesitated to speak.

And Amuro Toru immediately guessed the meaning of Qin Zhibo's words, so he explained: "It's okay, as long as you are outside of Tokyo, the probability of encountering members of the organization is very small."

"Besides, today is a weekday, and there aren't many people in this park..."

Tokyo is the most densely populated city in the world and a hub for all kinds of important information and value goals. Therefore, various activities organized are also centered around Tokyo.

A small place like Nagano Prefecture is not worth visiting for the organization at all.

"And if I happen to meet someone I know, I'm just a student of the famous detective..."

This sentence reminded Qin Zhibo that Toru Amuro had been his disciple before.

However, after a certain incident, Toru Amuro temporarily left Qin Zhibo.

At this time, Kuroda Heibei, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "I was a little worried before that because of your previous experience as an undercover agent in the organization, this meeting would cause some unpleasantness..."

"It seems my worries are unnecessary."

"No..." Amuro Toru's mouth curled up slightly, "There were just some small misunderstandings, and now the misunderstanding has been resolved."

The misunderstanding that Toru Amuro mentioned was that Qin Zhibo had previously joined the organization through the channel provided by Mr. Clock, and then told the Nine Angels Organization about this.

The Nine Angels Organization contacted Heibei Kuroda, who then conveyed the matter to Toru Amuro.

Due to Toru Amuro's lack of intelligence and the mutual distrust among the various forces, Toru Amuro still thought that Qin Zhibo was a double undercover agent sent by the organization to the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

However, since the two sides cooperated to capture Gin in Haido Park, the misunderstanding between them was completely resolved.

Qin Zhibo considered that he had contacted Kuroda Bei through the Nine Angels, and Kuroda Bei took the initiative to call Amuro Toru over.

This shows that Kuroda Heibei intends to take this opportunity to let Amuro Toru thoroughly understand the various secrets behind it.

In that case...

"Since I called this meeting, I'll speak first."

"The story begins with my trip to England a while ago..."

Next, Qin Zhibo told the two about some things that happened in the UK.

This included "fishing" on the Vauxhall Bridge using Michael's identity and successfully catching the big fish, Vermouth.

Then Vermouth was rescued by someone, causing the mission to fail. Afterwards, through the investigation of Hakuba Inspector General Hakuba's son and the tracking of related personnel, the life experience of the organization's boss and some other members of the organization who had not appeared before were learned.

After listening to Qin Zhibo's statement, Kuroda Bei murmured seriously.

"The boss of the organization is actually the Japanese tycoon who died 40 years ago and was once a British aristocrat?"

"This is a completely new situation..."

Compared with Kuroda Heibei's relatively calm reaction, Amuro Toru on the side seemed less calm.

His pupils were dilated, cold sweat was dripping down his forehead, and the disbelief in his eyes was not concealed at all.

what?
Is Elena still alive?

And still working for the organization...

Elena Miyano, this person is very familiar to Toru Amuro.

When he was young, he was often laughed at and excluded by other children because his hair color was different from that of the children around him.

Every time he was ridiculed, the strong-willed Toru Amuro would inevitably "hang out" with those who laughed at him.

As a result, every time he was injured, he would go to a nearby private clinic to treat his injury.

It was a clinic run by a couple, both of whom were doctors and had a daughter.

And Miyano Elena is the wife of the couple.
Toru Amuro still remembers what Elena Miyano said to him.

"Although people's appearances are different, once the skin is torn off, everyone has the same flesh and blood..."

"The proof is that in this world we live in, everyone has the same red blood as you."

It was Elena's teachings that made Toru Amuro gradually try to let go of the idea of ​​fighting with others.

Later, Toru Amuro's visits to Elena's clinic did not decrease as the number of his injuries decreased.

He learned to ride a bicycle with Elena's company and spent a happy childhood.

If Toru Amuro's lover is the country he lives in, then his first love is probably Elena Miyano.

But suddenly one day, Elena said that she and her family were moving away and asked me not to look for her anymore.

From then on, there was no news of the Miyano family, as if they had disappeared from the world.

In order to find this very important woman in his life, Toru Amuro applied for the police academy when he grew up, intending to use police channels to obtain information about the woman.

However, what he never expected was that when he finally got the woman's information, it turned out that she was undercover in the organization.

Here, he learned about the unknown side of Miyano Elena...

Because she and her husband conducted forbidden research, the couple were expelled from the scientific community, and Elena was called "the angel who fell into hell."

After joining the organization, he worked hard for it and died in a laboratory fire 17 years ago.

This is the information that Toru Amuro found out within the organization. It surprised him and made him feel a little disappointed.

Toru Amuro didn't want to believe this was true, but the facts were right in front of him.

Even if Elena was probably forced by the organization, I would never hear her say it herself...

But now Qin Zhibo said that Elena is still alive?

And in order to work for the organization, he even killed people?

All this made Toru Amuro unbelievable.

"Is that person you're talking about really Elena Miyano?"

"Is it really her?"

Toru Amuro glared at Qin Zhibo and questioned him.

Qin Zhibo looked at him with a frown, somewhat confused by his reaction.

Although Toru Amuro may have heard of Elena in the organization, he shouldn't have such a big reaction, right?
Kuroda Bei next to him also asked: "Bourbon, do you know this person?"

Kuroda Bei is used to calling Amuro Toru by his code name within the organization.

When Toru Amuro heard Kuroda Heibei's low voice, his brain reacted instantly and he realized that he had lost his composure.

"Feel sorry……"

"I've heard of this person in the organization. He died in a laboratory fire 17 years ago..."

Qin Zhibo looked at Toru Amuro's pupils which were still trembling slightly, and knew that the reason was probably not that simple.

However, he did not ask any more questions now, and instead introduced: "I also thought that she died 17 years ago, but now it seems that it was a way for her to escape."

"Because no one would investigate a dead person."

“Just like Karasuma Renya died 40 years ago, but there is evidence that he is still alive.”

"Now, in order to fight against this giant organization, I think we should unite all the forces in the world..."

"As for matters related to the alliance, the Nine Angels have already sent people to negotiate."

Qin Zhibo did not tell anyone about the Kudo family and the Kuroba family.

After all, we are still in the stage of preparing for the cooperation. If we want to introduce each member, it will not be too late to wait until the cooperation officially starts.

At Mary's own request, her existence was to be kept secret from everyone.

"Nine angels?"

Hearing a term he had never heard of before, Toru Amuro was stunned.

Kuroda Bingwei took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "This is why I called you here this time..."

"But this is a long story, let's go over there first."

As he spoke, Kuroda looked at the pier above the river.

……

The three of them strolled onto the pier.

There are not many people here during the day, and there are only three people on the entire bridge.

Kurodabei stood in the middle of the bridge, looked at the blue river, and murmured to himself, "Akagawa...I haven't seen you for many years."

"Okay, let's get back to business."

Kuroda turned to look at Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru and said seriously, "17 years ago, I was assigned by my superiors to go to the United States to discuss cooperation with an important person."

"The content of the cooperation is that the Japanese police and the FBI jointly investigated a certain organization."

"However, for the sake of confidentiality, both parties agreed to use a certain 'pretext' as an excuse for the meeting."

"And this 'pretend' is the genius shogi player, Hiroshi Haneda."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru's pupils trembled suddenly.

As a Japanese public security policeman, Toru Amuro was naturally aware of this mysterious case that happened 17 years ago.

Qin Zhibo understood the connection between them in an instant.

No wonder Yasuharu Haneda was able to contact Heibei Kuroda, so this is what happened...

Kurodabei looked at the two of them and said, "It seems that you have all heard of that case. This will save some time in explaining..."

"I'm sure you've guessed that the American dignitary I want to contact is the capitalist Amanda Hughes."
