Chapter 491
Wrath and Greed: The Second Mission Walkthrough
The clone didn't share this temporary arrangement with the main body. Anyway, since the clone had the ring and the main body had the phone, the other could see it just by glancing at the temporary group chat.
He found a secluded storage room, stuffed Ishigami inside, and then returned to his temporary, assumed job, planning to continue his mission after get off work.
He didn't go to see Morofushi Kagemitsu; this was a task assigned to another version of himself, and it was also a very important part of this plan.
—Aoyagi Akimitsu wanted to leak information about the Karasuma family to the Public Security Bureau, and the "messenger" he chose was none other than Morofushi Kagemitsu, a former undercover agent.
Logistics work is relatively relaxed, and since the organization doesn't assign tasks to lower-level members every day, many people have their own daily lives. Aoyagi Akimitsu clocks out on time at 5:30 PM.
He didn't remove his disguise, nor did he go shopping or eat out. Instead, he went straight back to Itakura Taku's residence.
Currently, only two police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department have arrived, and there are no extra personnel to monitor the area, so it is very safe here.
Aoyagi Akimitsu split his forces into two groups. From the time he left the hospital until nightfall, his main body stayed with Morofushi Kagemitsu and the Mori family, while his clone used mist particles to observe the target's movements.
The main body did see the group chat content. He said he was taking a shower, and they also exchanged information about the situation on both sides.
Nothing unexpected happened during this time. Morofushi Kagemitsu stayed obediently at the inn and remained in a very fixed position. However, a small incident occurred at the clone's place.
Around 10 o'clock, just as the clone was about to leave Itakura Taku's room to begin the next step of the plan, the cell phone confiscated from the lower-level members suddenly received a call.
It was a strange woman calling. After listening to a couple of sentences, Aoyagi Binguang immediately confirmed her identity.
"Hello, is this... you? Sorry to bother you, I'm Masami Kakutani."
"Is there a hospital dinner today? My husband hasn't come home yet. If he accidentally drank too much, could you tell me the address and I'll drive over to pick him up?"
Kakutani is the surname of the archivist whom the main character encountered.
Aoyagi Akimitsu thought for a second and felt that Anchu City was destined to be chaotic tonight, so a little bit of trouble wouldn't matter. He then generously informed the other party.
"You mean Kakutani-senpai? I just saw him; he went to the cemetery."
The other person was puzzled: "A cemetery? What are you doing at a cemetery so late?"
Aoyagi Akimitsu said nonchalantly, "Perhaps he's visiting the grave of someone very important? It's the first time I've seen him with that expression, so I didn't go up to greet him."
The other party was skeptical, thanked them, and hung up the phone.
Aoyagi Akimitsu left Itakura Taku's house, casually disposed of the phone on the way, and put the trivial matter behind him.
He used the spreading mist particles to teleport directly behind someone in Nagano, knocking the person down. He politely asked a few questions, and after receiving the answers, he snapped the person's throat, fed the corpse to the snakes, and then took the phone.
Aoyagi Akimitsu accomplished all of this in just a few minutes, giving him ample time. He walked through the woods to the vicinity of the base. After confirming that no one was around, he transformed his appearance into his original, disguised form.
Then the clone and the main body began to wait for the signal from the valley sheath.
Here, I must briefly mention the work this red team player has been doing in Nagano these past few days, which is also related to their goals.
The incident stemmed from Rum's bribery of high-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Police Department, including the Fourth Division Chief, Kenji Hyodo.
The Metropolitan Police Department is the police headquarters of Tokyo, which is further divided into ten regional headquarters, each responsible for managing police forces and cases in their respective districts.
The fourth area under its jurisdiction includes Shinjuku Ward, Nakano Ward, and Suginami Ward. Therefore, when Itakura Taku, who lived in Nakano Ward, repeatedly reported harassment issues to the police, the police did not handle the matter in a timely manner.
Superintendent Hido was from Nagano and had worked for a long time at the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters before being transferred to Tokyo. It was during that time that he joined a church.
That was a folk religious group that Aoyagi Akimitsu could directly classify as a cult. In addition to their usual operations such as accumulating wealth, brainwashing, and attempting to interfere in politics, they also regularly carried out human sacrifices.
They are still quite timid at the moment, and only dare to incite believers to target those who are not valued, such as homeless people on the streets, adults who have run away from home, and some elderly people who are disliked by their families.
Although these are marginalized groups, often overlooked in daily life, their actions, though seemingly insignificant, eventually caught the attention of the Nagano police, leading to an investigation by the Public Security Bureau. Superintendent Hyodo, bribed by Rum, is unaware of the organization's true nature and may subconsciously view it as a typical yakuza group. After the truth came out, he contacted Rum, asking the organization to dispose of the bodies.
Rum was initially very dissatisfied, but he also became interested in the church. While Karasuma Mochizuki was busy with experiments and temporarily had no time to deal with him, he personally came to Nagano and sent people to contact the believers.
Knowing that his health was deteriorating, Gu Shao went to see him in person to minimize daily contact. She modified the consciousness of some people who could still be saved and collected information to send to the contact person, hoping to strengthen the family's protective network.
This time, seeing that Qingliu Binguang asked her to find a way to alert the police, she simply combined the two tasks into one.
She kidnapped Rei Furuya, intending to throw him into the church's underground altar.
She knew that once this conscientious and responsible police officer learned of the cult's existence, he would not ignore this potential bomb; Japan had suffered greatly from cults.
Through the serpent eagle—which was very busy today, constantly flying between her and Aoyagi Akimitsu—she saw Furuya Rei about to go downstairs, immediately transformed into an eagle, and sneaked into the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters through the window.
The serpent eagle flew in through the window, its claws already coated with anesthetic. Obeying Gu Shao's command, it stepped on Furuya Rei's nape from behind, knocking him unconscious. Gu Shao led him quickly away via a secluded path, and the serpent eagle flew off on its own.
She could have waited until Rei Furuya left headquarters before making her move, which would have been more convenient. However, Aoyagi Akimitsu wanted the Public Security Bureau to descend into chaos at headquarters, so she did just that.
After settling Furuya Rei in place, Gu She found Kuroda's email address through his phone and sent him an email.
After doing all this, she informed Aoyagi Akimitsu and also told him which corrupt police officer was on duty at the Nagano Prefectural Headquarters that night.
[Greed: It's Takeda.]
Both the main body and the clone were staring at the group chat. They had agreed that unless there were special circumstances, the main body would respond.
[Rage: Is this the guy who shot a trader in the street to silence him, but his aim was poor and a stray bullet hit a girl passing by, and then his brother took revenge and killed him first?]
Gu Shao wasn't surprised that he remembered the case of avenging his brothers and sisters so clearly, and replied directly.
Greed: That's him.
[Furious: It would be convenient if it were him.]
[Furious: Watch me now.]
Aoyagi Akimitsu's true form withdrew his gaze from the group chat and quietly got out of bed.
It was 1:40 a.m.
He glanced next door; Conan Edogawa was fast asleep. He quickly dressed and quietly opened the door.
The internal medication added to the dinner was indeed effective; the police officer, who should have been extremely vigilant, actually fell asleep leaning against the wall.
Aoyagi Akihiro swished open the window, but Morofushi Kagehiro didn't react.
He squatted down in front of him, reached out and waved his hand, then pinched his earlobe. Just like the time at the hotel, there were two barely noticeable ear piercings, but he still didn't react.
Aoyagi Binguang estimated the effects of the medicine, didn't linger for long, and left through the window.
At the same time, another Aoyagi Akimitsu, hiding in the forest, approached the location of the Irish whiskey while taking out the cell phone he had recently stolen in Nagano.
The entity did not communicate with him at all, but he knew what he was supposed to do.
Aoyagi Akimitsu flipped through the cell phone he had confiscated from the trader, found the email address of the corrupt policeman surnamed Takeda, and typed an email.
[I think I've been being watched lately. Last night, I ran into a very fierce-looking foreign man with long silver hair... You killed that exchange student before, could it be that the US sent people to investigate?] (End of Chapter)
