Fanchuan Ze/Text
Driving Kobayashi's tool truck and wearing employee work clothes, Noboru Imaizumi arrived at the agreed upon location on time.
In fact, after staying in the factory for such a long time, Noboru Imaizumi only met the core member - the undercover agent from the FBI with the organization code name "Ley" when he was transporting aconite for the first time.
Apart from the products he saw during these days, there was nothing that required special attention.
Although today's goods are very important, the core members with code names are now gathered inside the base, and the people who come to collect the goods may be just ordinary members of the organization.
It's just "maybe" and should not be taken lightly.
Imaizumi stepped on the brakes and parked the tool cart securely on the side of the road. Through the rear mirror, he observed the quiet streets behind him. From time to time, two circles of light came from a distance, which were the car's headlights. .
It seems that the contact person has arrived.
Imaizumi opened the car door and got out of the car.
It was late at night, there were only a few street lights in the remote town, and the residential buildings in the distance were shrouded in a hazy night fog.
On the exposed wires, a bird that had not yet fallen asleep suddenly fell. Its color could not be distinguished in the shallow light, but it made a hoarse and abrupt cry.
It was probably the crow of a crow, resounding down the deserted alley, bouncing off the narrow and tight walls, adding a bit of eerieness and chill to the place.
The car stopped behind Noboru Imaizumi at that moment.
A man slowly got out of the car, the car lights were still on, and two beams of light shone directly over him. His figure was against the light, and most of it was still hidden in the shadows.
Imaizumi stood leaning against the back of the tool cart, squinting his eyes slightly to look at the man - he couldn't see clearly what he looked like, but through the outline of his body, he could tell that he was wearing a knee-length coat. .
In other words, it is like a "white coat" that is common among doctors and researchers.
"Sorry, I may be a little late." The man came over, and as soon as he got closer, Imaizumi smelled a somewhat unpleasant smell.
This smell is very pungent, but it is also very special. Anyone who has smelled it once will probably never forget it.
So Noboru Imaizumi quickly realized that it smelled like formalin.
"No, it doesn't matter." Imaizumi greeted him, "The time is just right."
When you look closer, you will find that the other person is a plain-looking man. You can't tell his specific age, but judging from his temperament, he must be at least thirty years old.
The man wears rimless glasses with thick lenses, is tall and thin, and has a slightly forward neck. These phenomena all indicate that he is a man who often needs to "bow his head" in work or life and does not have much time for daily exercise. .
Much like those scientific researchers who spend time in the laboratory.
Noboru Imaizumi has always speculated that the goods transported from the Inoue Logistics Factory, after passing through the hands of the recipient, are likely to be transported to local research institutes in Tokyo, large or small, legal or illegal.
The man standing in front of him now all supported his speculation: this man should be a researcher from a certain research institute linked to the organization.
It seems that today, the core members of the organization are indeed gathered inside the base - so much so that a scientific researcher needs to come and pick up the raw materials himself.
"Where to move things?" Noboru Imaizumi opened the trunk and showed the car full of agarwood.
"Just move it to my trunk. Thank you for your hard work." The other party's conversation was very elegant.
Imaizumi looked at the SUV for a while, and then said: "There are a lot of boxes. I think the trunk of your car alone may not be able to put all the boxes. Is there room in the back seat? If there are more boxes to come out later, I may have to put them in You're in the back seat of the car."
The man nodded: "Okay."
Although he just had a fever last night, Imaizumi moved very quickly. He did not get regular sleep for a long time, which caused his immunity to be weakened recently. But fortunately, the foundation is there, and after a good night's rest, he is now His condition has never been better than before, and his body is full of energy.
The back compartment was quickly filled, and sure enough, there were still a few cardboard boxes left.
Imaizumi Noboru: "I'll put the rest in the back seat for you."
"Okay." The man in a white coat opened the rear door and stepped aside to make way for Noboru Imaizumi.
Imaizumi stacked the remaining cargo behind the back seat of the car, raised his fingertips slightly, and a tracking locator was quietly placed under the seat.
Since someone from the research institute came to pick up this batch of materials in person, it can be seen that where this person will go next is where the research institute that mainly develops drugs is located.
——As long as you follow this person's whereabouts, you can directly find the location of the research institute.
Noboru Imaizumi slowly walked out of the back seat of the car, raised his hand and pulled down the brim of his work cap, covering most of his face and only revealing his graceful lower jaw.
"Put it all inside, sir." He smiled quietly at the man.
The man obviously didn't realize there was anything special in the car, so he only opened his mouth gently: "Thank you for your hard work."
They said goodbye to each other politely, the man returned to the car, and the SUV quickly disappeared into the night.
Imaizumi climbed back onto the tool cart and parked it in a seemingly safe place.
Kobayashi Yukisuke was still asleep behind the car, snoring slightly and even smacking his lips.
Imaizumi took off his work clothes and put it on the driver's seat before getting out of the car.
He returned to the Captiva where he had originally driven. A laptop was quietly placed on the passenger seat, and the passing path of the annunciator was displayed in real time above it.
Imaizumi quietly observed the location above and began to plan his next actions based on the route.
As for Kaoru Kawajiang, that "meeting" is almost over.
After pouring the Camus Cognac into the wine glass tower, Noboru Imaizumi distributed the wine to the members present one after another.
Some people took it and took a sip. Some declined and did not accept it. Others were minding their own business without even looking at him.
When handing the glass of wine to the FBI codenamed "Rye", Noboru Imaizumi briefly exchanged greetings with him.
"Long time no see, Mr. Morohoshi." Noboru Imaizumi handed the glass of clear amber liquid to the man's hand.
The man raised his eyes and glanced at him gently, took the wine, his expression was indifferent, and he only said solemnly: "You are promoted very quickly."
I don't know if this sentence means anything.
Noboru Imaizumi didn't show any extra expression, and only responded with a humble attitude: "It should be my luck."
"By the way, Mr. Zhuxing. I want to ask you a question."
The man raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem?"
"A few weeks ago, when we were docking at KTV, I thought we should have briefly met a few times. At that time, you seemed to be standing behind and patted me on the shoulder."
Noboru Imaizumi controlled his body, blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes, and asked sincerely: "So I want to ask if there is anything you wanted to say to me at that time."
The man with long black hair nodded slightly, and at this moment, his deep facial features finally became a little more floating.
He took a sip of the clear wine in the goblet, and then showed an unknown smile: "How old are you this year?"
"Twenty-five years old."
First, they found that no information about Kawae Kaoru could be found, and not long after, Shiraishi Masakihito came up with the picture book from many years ago. That day in the drink hall downstairs of the Metropolitan Police Department, Imaizumi Noboru was not polite to him. After reporting that Kawajia Kaoru was his informant, he forcefully asked the other party to identify Kawajia Kaoru.
——Kawae Kaoru, twenty-five years old, both parents are dead, and his social network is narrow. His resume is mediocre, his experience is ordinary, he is proficient in some mathematics and physics knowledge. He entered the organization by chance and has been working at the bottom.
The people from that organization would ask him about the password combination of Lao Shizi, certainly to verify the authenticity of this experience.
"I may have seen you somewhere before," he heard Ley say.
This time it was replaced by Imaizumi Noboru, who was a bit surprised.
His pupils shrank for a moment, and he couldn't figure out how long ago the man in front of him pointed to "before".
Could it be that Kawae Kaoru had met Rai before?
It is easy to make mistakes if you talk too much. It is not appropriate to make too much noise now. After weighing the pros and cons, Noboru Imaizumi decided to pretend to be stupid for the time being.
"Really?" He tilted his head in confusion, "I don't remember. But if I have really met Mr. Zhuxing, I think I should have some impressions? Where did we meet?"
"Six years ago, in a beach hotel bar."
"You recommended a whiskey to me and said that most modern people don't like to try rye whiskey, but you do appreciate the rich and thick taste."
Noboru Imaizumi, who was sitting in the carriage, was stunned.
Based on his assessment of this person's living environment when he became "Kawae Kaoru" on the first day, he really couldn't determine that a Uniqlo guy with bad dressing taste, dyed hair with exaggerated colors, and being treated harshly by the bar owner, And a jobless vagrant can say something like this.
What's more, Kaoru Kawae looks like he's only in his early twenties. If he really said this to this FBI investigator while sitting in a bar six years ago, how old is Kaoru Kawae?
"I have no impression." He manipulated Kawajia Kaoru to say.
"Six years ago, I think I was only nineteen years old, Mr. Morohoshi. Although I am not that old-fashioned, there are indeed laws in China that prohibit minors from drinking. I guess that bar will not let me in. We can't Met you at the bar."
"Really?" The man put down his wine glass.
"Maybe I remembered it wrong. That's a pity."
This meeting with the other core members with code names has almost come to an end.
Sitting in the carriage, Imaizumi raised his eyes and saw a prompt popping up on the screen of his mobile phone:
[The twenty-four-hour trial period of [Connectivity Mode] is about to end. The countdown is at 5:00. Could you please sign a usage agreement to ensure that [Connectivity Mode] will continue to be enabled in the future? 】
There are still five minutes for him to think about whether he should agree to the conditions offered by this app.
The conditions are not harsh, but while you get convenience, you also need to pay a certain price.
Regarding this price, if you say it is light, it can be called it is not painful, if you say it is serious, it can be called earth-shattering.
Imaizumi Noboru was still a little hesitant. After all, it was never impossible for something with a small probability to happen to him.
He suddenly noticed that at the venue, a charming woman with long blond hair stood up first, with a little surprise in her eyes.
She seemed to have said something to Gin who was sitting next to her. The other person was also stunned and quickly stood up.
I don’t know who said something in the venue, but Noboru Imaizumi finally heard it this time——
Chapter completed!
