There were many things Toru Amuro wanted to say, but he couldn't say a word.
He was not afraid of dead people. He had insomnia that day because the person who died was an undercover agent and he was one of the promoters. He was not afraid of the police either. He chose to avoid it that day just because he couldn't meet his friend Date Hang from the police academy.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was not even afraid of murderers. He was distracted when he heard the news because he was angry at Wai Shouyi's escape from prison and worried that he would reveal their identities.
But Toru Amuro couldn't explain these, and he couldn't tell the real reasons.
Angstra was not as suspicious as Gin. He did not doubt them, but simply went astray.
He silently comforted himself that this was a good thing for them. Being misunderstood as a coward would be embarrassing at best, and being discovered as an undercover would be a loss of life.
On the bright side, Amuro showed a helpless smile: "Then what do you want to do?"
Angstra would not send them back just because he thought they were timid, which was one of the reasons why he did not defend himself.
"I'll start with a simple task for you." Angstra sighed and turned to look at the shelves, "You are so timid and don't know what the Star Conference is like."
Toru Amuro frowned slightly. Although the current development did not expose their undercover status, it was still somewhat disadvantageous.
The two police officers are here to serve as undercover agents, not to support themselves in an organization. Their first priority at the moment is to get the wine code name.
Working under Angstra, a high-status member of the organization, they would have had more opportunities to show their faces, but now their junior boss thinks they are timid and will not give them important tasks for a while.
This is not the key, the key is that his third subordinate, Zhu Xingda, is coming soon.
Morohoshi's appearance matches the aesthetics of Angostura, and he will not be forgotten like Rikuchi Kusuda or Kiichiro Numabuchi. The most important thing is that he was recommended by Gin, a model worker in the organization.
Code members do not have missions every day. Gin is the only one who is so busy in the organization. Even if there is a mission, he will not bring three subordinates with him at once.
For example, when he went to kill the real estate developer in Suzuki Tower, Angstra took Zhu Fu Jingguang with him. When he went to the library to act privately, he only took Amuro Tohru with him.
There weren't many missions in the first place, but now there's Morohoshi Dai, who doesn't sound like a good guy from the description.
Now that Angstra thinks they are timid and unable to bear the heavy responsibility, he may reuse him.
When I thought about the possibility that a junior boss would throw them into a safe house in the future and take Morohoshi on a mission alone... Toru Amuro's hostility towards this colleague whom he had never met rose again.
"...Amuro, what are you thinking about?"
Amuro Toru came back to his senses and turned around to see Angstra looking at him strangely.
"I was thinking about what dinner I would make for you tomorrow. What would you like to eat?" Toru Amuro lied without blinking.
"I'll send you the recipe when I get back." When it came to this, Angostela had no doubts.
After the two of them finished shopping, Toru Amuro pushed the shopping cart to check out. Angstra took a look at the total price and took away the checkout slip: "After saving for a while, I will reimburse you both."
Toru Amuro didn't care about this, he carried his things and returned to Mazda with Angstra.
It took them about twenty minutes to purchase, which was enough time for Zhu Fu Jingguang to calm down and make a phone call to confirm the situation.
He and Tohru Amuro, who had walked to the passenger side, looked at each other, then quickly looked away and watched as the other person walked around the front of the car and returned to the driver's seat.
Angstra opened the rear door and got into the car: "Morukawa, are you feeling better?"
Zhufu Jingguang didn't understand what Angstra meant by what he said. He glanced at Toru Amuro beside him out of the corner of his eye. Amuro Toru was looking straight ahead, as if he didn't notice his little movement.
Only Angstra from behind continued to say: "It's just a murderer. There are so many people in Tokyo, you won't meet him by chance, so don't be afraid."
"...?" Why does he think he is afraid of murderers?
"Angstra picked out scotch and bourbon for you, and she blamed me for leaving you alone." Only then did Toru Amuro look at him, "Let's have a drink tonight."
"...How can I drive back after drinking?" Zhu Fu Jingguang thought about this.
"You can stay in the safe house for one night." Angstra came closer, put her hand on the passenger seat, and said in a very gentle tone: "The sofa is too small, and there are two beds in the attic. If you want to sleep on the bed
If so, I can give you the bedroom and go to the attic by myself..."
"no!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang interrupted him directly before he could finish his words.
"What's wrong?" Angstra was stunned.
"...I mean, you don't have to give up your bedroom to me. You are the boss and I am the subordinate. Amuro and I can just go to the attic and spend the night together."
Zhufu Jingguang realized that he had overreacted after he shouted no, but he could not let Angstra sleep so close to someone who was trying to do illegal things to him.
"..."
Amuro Toru's face was expressionless, and he could see what Zhufu Jingguang was worried about.
He regretted telling his plan to Fa Xiao, who was too upright in some respects. He originally thought he could help, but instead of helping, he actually caused trouble and blocked it...

After returning to the safe house, Jie Byakuya was the last one to take a shower. Amuro Toru was the first one, and Midorikawa Shin was the second one. They were both about the same height and shape, so they could borrow each other's clothes.
This was the first time Midorikawa Xin lived with him. Before, he didn't know that he would be so slow to take a bath, and he would linger for a long time as if he was looking for something in there.
When he came out wiping his hair, he saw Toru Amuro and Shin Midorikawa sitting on the sofa in the living room, with an open bottle of Scotch whiskey on the table in front of them.
"How does this wine taste?" he walked over and asked.
"It's pretty good." Toru Amuro raised the empty wine glass in his hand, "Scotch is the most classic whiskey. Do you want..."
"Give me a good drink."
Midorikawa Xin interrupted him indifferently, took his glass and poured wine into it.
Just because Jing Baiye didn't drink, it didn't mean he didn't understand wine. Belmode had taught him how to identify real and fake wine. He reached out and asked Midorikawa Xin for a cup: "Give me one."
"You want to drink?" Midorikawa Xin frowned.
"If you don't want to drink it, let me see if this is real whiskey. Some unscrupulous merchants will sell fake wine."
Jing Baiye took the wine glass, observed the color of the wine, and smelled it.
Counterfeit liquor is a serious problem in many countries. Whiskey is one of the six major base liquors. He has seen a lot of news about fake whiskey in the United States.
Some unscrupulous businessmen will blend cheap industrial alcohol to make fake whiskey. The alcohol content is even a little higher than real whiskey. From the appearance, it looks like the real thing, but the color and smell of the liquor are slightly different.
