Gin likes me?

Well, this news was told to Rum by Saburo Uozuka.

After hearing the news, Rum was really a little surprised.

In his opinion, even if it was true that the previous incident with Akai Hidei caused Saburo Uozuka and Miyano Akemi to become somewhat estranged and alienated, based on Saburo Uozuka's temperament, he would not do such a harmful thing to Miyano Akemi behind her back.

However, the explanation given by Saburo Uozuka was acceptable to Rum.

It was precisely because he still had some friendship and care for Miyano Akemi that Saburo Uozuka took the initiative to talk to Rum about this matter.

Because Miyano Akemi's actions and thoughts are so immature, instead of letting other people in the organization discover that something is wrong with Miyano Akemi later, it is better for her to take the initiative to expose it so that Rum can know more about it.

As for Saburo Uozuka, he could pay more attention and stop Akemi Miyano when she really wants to do something.

Seeing that Uozuka Saburo had explained it so clearly, Rum had no other opinions.

In his opinion, with Miyano Akemi's abilities, it is completely impossible for her to leave the organization on her own.

As for Uozuka Saburo, although I was not sure before, I can now be basically assured.

Because Kurosawa Hotaru has returned to Neon, and like Vermouth, Kurosawa Hotaru doesn't have a very good impression of the Miyano sisters.

Realizing that he had fooled Rum, Uozuka Saburo felt a little relieved.

Because of Kurosawa Hotaru's return, many things can no longer be done as blatantly as before.

People on Uozuka Saburo's side need to be more cautious in carrying out anti-organization activities.

However, due to Rum's adjustment of the Neon Organization's business and no longer carrying out any large-scale terrorist activities, Uozuka Saburo has less room to intervene.

So, under the suggestion of Kogoro Mori, Saburo Uozuka and others began to work hard to do what Rum liked most in the organization.

Find undercover!

However, they are not looking for undercover agents in the organization. Instead, they will focus on Tokyo first, and look among the government and police personnel in Tokyo to find those who may be undercover agents sent by the organization, and those who have connections and transaction relationships with the organization.

This part of the work is even more troublesome, but fortunately, Kogoro Mori, Miyuki Daimon, and Kasa Aso are all restless characters and do not hate such troublesome things.

In addition, with the cooperation of Saburo Uozuka and Taka Kimura within the organization, although the specific list of undercover agents cannot be found, many problems can be discovered through many action reports and unclear sources of intelligence.

Organize the clues that can be investigated, and then hand them over to Hagiwara Chisu, and let them conduct a thorough investigation in the name of public security.

In just half a year, they successfully uncovered an undercover agent and a trading partner.

Although there were only two people, it was very exciting news for Kogoro Mori and the others.

Apart from these troublesome things, Uozuka Saburo can be said to have had a very easy time in the past six months since Kurosawa Hotaru's return.

Although compared to Kurosawa Hotaru, she did not return to Neon, and was so free when she acted independently.

But after Kurosawa Hotaru returned to the Neon organization, it must be said that she really took over a lot of work from Uozuka Saburo.

Although most of them were carried out with Uozuka Saburo, there were also quite a few that Kurosawa Hotaru was responsible for on his own.

In fact, it was a waste of talent to let two super elite killers be in charge of those people who were not that difficult.

But as time went on, not only the organizations in Japan, but also the organizations in Magnesium were hindered in their development.

With the pressure from various official organizations and hostile forces, even the organizations that were once really arrogant have begun to treat the environment that is changing every day with caution.

This peaceful development was very much in line with Uozuka Saburo's wishes. As for the tasks, Uozuka Saburo didn't care whether they were difficult or easy, as long as there were fewer of them, it was better.

This shows that the frequency of the organization's troublemaking has decreased.

And when Uozuka Saburo really found that he was not needed to follow the mission, he only needed to tell Kurosawa Hotaru briefly, and Kurosawa Hotaru would give Uozuka Saburo a holiday without any hesitation.

Yes, it's that easy~

More importantly, Uozuka Saburo has found out from Kurosawa Hotaru that she does know about his girlfriends in Tokyo.

But judging from Kurosawa Hotaru's performance, she really doesn't care that much.

As long as Uozuka Saburo does not take the initiative to seek death by talking about Suzuki Ayako or Hagiwara Chisuga in front of Kurosawa Hotaru, Kurosawa Hotaru will completely let Uozuka Saburo ask for leave to go out and accompany Suzuki Ayako and the others.

After all, although the two had barely confirmed their importance and feelings for each other during their previous dates, they would both feel particularly unnatural if they were to get along and be in love like an ordinary couple.

Therefore, Kurosawa Hotaru generously handed over the task of relieving Uozuka Saburo's pressure to Suzuki Ayako and others.

Well, it is definitely not an excuse just because I have the idea of ​​backing out.

. . .

"Really? If I hadn't had something going on at home, I would have also wanted to go play with you."

Sitting in the passenger seat of the car, Suzuki Sonoko pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"It's just a trip to Magnesium Country. It's not like you haven't been to the garden before."

Looking at Suzuki Sonoko with amusement, Uozuka Saburo teased.

"That's different. I also want to go to Magnesium Country with Xiaolan."

"It's not just Ran, you just forgot about Shinichi."

"Who cares about him? Let Kudo go find his parents by himself. I'll take care of Xiaolan!"

He waved his hands in disdain. Although they spent a lot of time playing together, Suzuki Sonoko and Kudo Shinichi always showed more disdain for each other.

"Besides, Kurosawa-kun is going too, and I'm the only one who can't go. I really can't accept this!"

"I'm not going there to have fun. I just happened to have something to deal with in Magnesium Country, and I took care of Xiaolan and Shinichi while I was there. I sent them to Sister Yukiko until she got hurt."

Raising his hand and rubbing Suzuki Sonoko's hair, Uozuka Saburo smiled and shook his head.

"So don't be angry here. You have already promised Aunt Ayako and Aunt Tomoko about the family matters. You can't go back if you want to."

"If you really want to go out and play, when I come back from my business in Magnesium, I'll find time to take you and Ayako out to play by myself, okay?"

"Really? It's settled then, Kurosawa-kun. I'll wait for you to come back from Magnesium Country."

"Well, I always keep my word."

644: The Vermouth they saw?

"Do I need to go to Magnesium Country?"

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Saburo Uozuka, who had just finished a mission together and was about to return to the apartment, turned his head to look at Kurosawa Hotaru who suddenly made a request to him.

"Is there any mission from the organization?"

“It’s not the organization’s mission.”

Shaking her head slightly, Kurosawa Hotaru put down the phone she had been fiddling with, turned to look at Uozuka Saburo. The coldness in her eyes startled Uozuka Saburo.

He knew that once Kurosawa Hotaru showed such an expression, it meant that something really urgent had happened.

"I need you to go to Vermouth."

"Vermouth, what happened to her?"

The expression on his face became serious. While watching the road conditions ahead, Uozuka Saburo also paid some attention to Kurosawa Hotaru in the co-pilot seat.

He knew that something serious must have happened on Vermouth's side, causing Kurosawa Hotaru to make such an anxious judgment.

Although in the past six months, Vermouth has not contacted him or teased him like she used to, Uozuka Saburo himself has consciously avoided more contact with Vermouth.

But both Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru are concerned about Vermouth.

It's not just a matter of owing someone a favor, because Vermouth really played a big role in the growth of Saburo Uozuka and Hotaru Kurosawa.

It can be said that without Vermouth's protection, even if Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru could grow to their current level, they would not have achieved it in such a short time.

"Nothing has happened yet, but that may not happen in the future."

The tone also turned cold, and it was obvious that Kurosawa Hotaru was very dissatisfied with Vermouth.

"Tell me more about it, big sister."

Without hesitation, Uozuka Saburo expressed his attitude.

He must help Vermouth, but before that, he must first figure out what exactly happened.

"I just noticed something was wrong before. For the past six months, Vermouth has been carrying out an undercover investigation. In the last contact, she said she was ready to close the net."

With her eyes flickering, Kurosawa Hotaru adjusted her somewhat irritable mood, cursing Vermouth's impulsiveness and stupidity in her heart, but she quickly told Uozuka Saburo what she knew.

After listening to Kurosawa Hotaru's story, Uozuka Saburo also learned what kind of mission Vermouth had been carrying out in the past six months.

The cause of the incident was that Chivas, the head of the American organization, accidentally discovered that a part of the organization's internal action records was too vague.

With a cautious approach, Chivas conducted a very detailed re-investigation of this part of the records, and found something wrong.

However, this investigation also involved an old cadre who held a considerable position in the organization. Even Chivas would not be able to solve this problem with a tough attitude.

If he just had doubts and made mistakes in judgment, it would not be good for the stability within the organization or the relationship between the two people.

And if my judgment is correct, and the old cadre did take action to organize intelligence to gain benefits for himself, then suddenly going to his house to inquire would undoubtedly be equivalent to alerting the enemy.

Not to mention, Chivas does not believe that the cadres in the Magnesium organization can investigate this matter clearly without attracting the other party's attention.

Insufficient ability.

There was no way out. Chivas, who dared not hide or delay, reported the matter directly to the boss.

After getting the boss's permission, the task was given to the Thousand-Faced Witch of the organization, Vermouth.

With Vermouth's help, this investigation task can be said to be easily accomplished.

And in fact, Vermouth's actions did not disappoint.

After almost half a year of planning and investigation, Vermouth finally figured out the suspicious point.

Although there was nothing wrong with that senior veteran cadre, his son, a second-generation member of the organization, was so confused that he actually betrayed the organization's intelligence and interests to enrich himself.

The organization has never tolerated such traitors.

At the boss's command, the senior executive was quickly controlled, leaving only the traitor who usually did not live or contact with his father, wandering around alone.

The reason why they did not take action against the traitor immediately was because after confirming this matter, Vermouth made a suggestion to the boss.

Killing him is easy, but wouldn't it be better if we could use this traitor to lure out someone in the FBI who poses a great threat to the organization and assassinate him together?

Yes, the person Vermouth really wants to deal with is not the traitor, but Akai Hidei, who spent half a year recovering from her injuries in the factory explosion that year, successfully escaped from the organization, returned to the FBI in Magnesium, and resumed the clearing operation against the organization.

The explosives buried by Saburo Uozuka did not kill Akai Hidei directly. After being rescued by other members of the FBI, after more than half a year of careful recuperation, the fully recovered Akai Hidei continued to pursue her wishes in her position in Magnesium.

Pull out the tissue completely.

Because of her many years of undercover experience in the organization, when facing the magnesium organization, Akai Hidei is always able to keenly find the organization's loopholes based on the organization's style of doing things and strike hard.

In just over half a year, great losses and harm were caused to the organizations in the Magnesium Country.

Even within the organization, some people call it the 'silver bullet' that harms the organization.

The boss readily agreed to Vermouth's suggestion.

And out of trust in Vermouth, he actually allowed Vermouth to be fully responsible for such a mission, without allowing other people in the organization to participate and help.

To Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru, such behavior was indeed overbearing and irrational.

As for Akai Hidei, Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Hotaru can be said to be the people who know her best in the organization.

Whether it was the tit-for-tat between Akai Hidei and Kurosawa Hotaru in Magnesium Country before she went undercover, or after she went undercover in the Neon Organization, Uozuka Saburo's attention to the ability of rye whiskey confirmed one thing.

Akai Hidei is indeed an FBI agent with outstanding personal abilities.

Ordinary members of the organization would never be a match for Akai Hidei. Even among the elite cadres, there are definitely only a few people in the organization who can compete with Akai Hidei.

Although Saburo Uozuka and Hotaru Kurosawa were full of disdain every time they talked about Akai Hidei, as if they would be able to defeat Akai Hidei as long as they were given another chance to fight.

However, both of them still highly recognize Akai Hidei's abilities.

At least, if it was Vermouth who wanted to assassinate Akai Hidei, it would definitely not be an easy task.

"I have been asking Chivas for information about Vermouth's actions over the past two days. According to my understanding, she will probably take action within the next two days, so Yuzuka, you must get to Magnesium as soon as possible."

Pinching her brows, to be honest, if she really couldn't leave, Kurosawa Hotaru really wanted to go on this trip to Magnesium by herself.

It's not that he feels that he can help Vermouth better, or that Uozuka Saburo is less capable than himself.

Although her desire to help Vermouth was genuine, Kurosawa Hotaru never gave up her vigilance against Vermouth.

Even at a family celebration party after a mission was successfully completed, when the excited Saburo Uozuka took advantage of the alcohol to say that Reiko Akiba and Andrea Vitells, who were not very clear in Vermouth's investigation files, were both his girlfriends, Kurosawa Hotaru did not waver at all.

Ever since Uozuka Saburo took her hand and expressed his feelings on the Ferris wheel half a year ago, Kurosawa Hotaru found that her previous worries and irritations were completely unnecessary.

After more than half a year of getting along again, Kurosawa Hotaru realized that she could really be with Uozuka Saburo easily and naturally every day.
