Chapter 257 Bitters: BOSS is surrounded by undercover! (two-in-one chapter)
Do not soak in hot springs for too long. If you are soaking in hot springs above 40℃, it is best to control the time within 15 minutes.
Jing Baiye came out of the men's bath, followed by Toru Amuro, who had finished rubbing his back early. He rubbed his back through the smart strap. Perhaps because of the previous conflict with Morohoshi, his expression was still gloomy.
Yes, very disappointed.
They came to the rest area together and found that the other three female companions who were traveling with them were already sitting there.
Shirley happened to be sitting on the sofa facing the entrance. When she saw Jing Baiye coming over, she immediately moved to the side to make way for him, and handed him a bottle of bottled milk on the table.
"Gray, come on, drink some milk to rehydrate."
Hearing her invitation, Jing Baiye naturally sat next to her.
The rest area is basically a single or double sofa. After the two of them sit down side by side, Toru Amuro can only sit on the Curaçao side.
"Thank you." Jing Baiye took the milk, opened the bottle cap and drank it.
After coming to him in Scotland, he developed the habit of drinking a bottle of milk every day, and the frequency of drinking Coke gradually became less and less. After soaking in the hot spring for more than ten minutes, his mouth was dry, and he quickly drank a bottle of milk at room temperature.
It's over.
Shirley watched him from the side, saw him put down the milk bottle, and handed him a tissue to wipe his mouth. When she took her hand back, she lightly rubbed her fingers on his face a few times.
Curacao, who had her long hair tied up, held her chin up and looked at him. This Rum confidant usually wore formal clothes or gifts. This was the first time I saw her wearing a yukata. Like Toru Amuro, she looked more like a foreigner.
, but it is very suitable for Japanese yukata. As expected, good-looking people will look good in anything they wear.
"How do you feel physically?" Her eyes fell on his legs.
Jing Baiye rarely wears a yukata - in order to avoid exposing too many bandages, he usually wears long sleeves and long pants when going out - under his loose yukata, two legs covered with bandages are exposed.
"It's good. I'm healthy. You don't have to worry about me so much."
The other four people present looked at him with uniform disapproval.
Not long after, Scotland and Zhu Xingda came out together.
After seeing the hat on Morohoshi's big head, Shirley looked away with disgust, Curacao's expression was subtle, and even Miyano Akemi, who had the gentlest temper, also showed disapproval: "Jun Hoshi,
It’s best not to wear anything else while soaking in a hot spring.”
"..."
Zhu Xingda didn't say anything. He looked at Chao Jingbaiye, and Toru Amuro on the side also looked at him.
"...?"
Jing Baiye, who received their gaze, looked back with confusion.
Miyano Akemi is talking about Morohoshidai, why are they looking at him?
…
The group stayed in the rest area until 7:55 before returning to their respective rooms.
Jing Baiye fed Duola some snacks and gave it to his favorite Zhuxingda to take care of him. He calculated that time was almost up, picked up Qian Duoduo on his cell phone, and planned to follow the instructions in the email to find Spiatu.
S.
Scotland was sitting in the Japanese room. When he saw him coming out, he stopped him with a worried look on his face: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, I'll be back soon."
Spiatus asked him to go to Sansui Giemon's mechanical house to play. This was nothing, but the zoo organization might go there. If he was not careful, it would lead to overtime work with armed conflict - this was a vacation.
Jing Baiye hoped that the three of them could relax and would not let them participate.
Jing Baiye left Hazukijian and went to the second floor. He took out the second wooden door card that Spiatus gave him in the morning and stood at the door of Hazukijian.
"It's me. Can I come in?" He asked first without swiping his card immediately.
"Come in."
Jing Baiye raised the door card and swiped it on the recognition machine at the door. The door clicked softly, and he opened the seemingly fragile but actually quite strong paper door to the VIP room.
There are two VIP rooms in Ebisu Hot Spring Hotel, one is the Hazuki Room where Spiatus stayed, and the other is the Minazuki Room.
As soon as he entered the door, Jing Baiye saw Spiatus sitting at a low table drinking tea.
He was also not wearing a suit. He was wearing the pure black bathrobe provided by the hotel. Seeing him come in, he raised his head and smiled at him.
"Sit down."
Jing Baiye closed the door and looked around.
There is no reason why the price of the VIP room is four times more expensive than the ordinary room. The decoration here looks much higher than the ordinary room below, but it is a bit incongruous - it is obviously a Japanese room, but there is a picture hanging on the wall of the room.
Western oil painting.
He had no interest in artworks. He stared at the painting for a while and felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't name it.
The man in the portrait has slightly curly hair and a soft face. He seems to be smiling compassionately, but also seems to be just watching everything happening in the outside world with a cold eye. He is holding a crystal ball in his left hand, the ring finger and little finger of his right hand are curled up, and the remaining three fingers are pointing upward...
This seems to be a gesture of blessing in religion.
Jing Baiye took off his shoes, walked to the table with Qian Duoduo in his arms and sat down cross-legged.
Spiatus naturally picked up a teacup from the center of the table and poured him tea with his own hands, without any dignity from a superior to a subordinate.
A Scottish Fold cat poked its head out from behind Spiatus. It was petite, had gray fur, and looked at him curiously with a pair of blue eyes.
When Jing Baiye saw this color scheme, he thought of the cat he had raised in his first life. He felt like this when he saw it for the first time... But he just touched Qian Duoduo in his arms, not casually.
Lean in.
"Let them play on their own without having to hold it," Spiatus said.
Jing Baiye put down Qian Duoduo. He compared the sizes of the two cats, touched Qian Duoduo's head, and told him: "Moni is smaller, you can't bully it, you have to play well with it."
Qian Duoduo meowed at him and seemed to understand.
Spiatus took out a small ball from his cuffs and threw it casually to the side. The ball drew an arc and landed on the empty tatami not far away. The wheel turned and hit the wall. The two cats heard the sound and
Immediately run after the ball.
Jing Baiye saw them coexisting peacefully. He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea. As soon as his fingers touched the teacup, he felt something was wrong: "Is this ceramic?"
It feels different from the cups downstairs. The ones on the first floor are bamboo cups.
"Well, this is the work of the fifth generation Kikuemon. Someone gave it to me before." Spiatus glanced at the teacup casually.
"..."
Sakai Byakuya didn't know Kikuemon, and his intuition told him that this thing was very expensive, so after taking a sip, he held the teacup in both hands and put it down carefully.
"You stay in your room all day?" he asked quietly.
"I went out to the hot springs." Spiatus folded his hands in his sleeves and sat up straight. "I went down half an hour ago. I heard someone arguing at the men's bath, so I didn't go in. It was you two.
Are your subordinates quarreling inside?"
"…………"
Jing Baiye didn't expect that Spiatus would bump into him, and she suddenly felt guilty.
"Do your subordinates always get along like this?" Spiatus asked calmly.
"This..." Jing Baiye's eyes drifted to the side: "This happens occasionally, today was an accident..."
Although it was annoying for the two subordinates to quarrel, they had just had a conflict because they cared about him. He didn't want to directly say bad things about them in front of Spiatus, his top boss, which would affect their future salary increases and promotions.
"Spiatus...boss, how do you handle the relationship between your subordinates?" He couldn't help but want to learn from you.
"When I came to power, I got rid of all those who would disobey me, and those who were left were all people who would obey me. I have always let nature take its own course with them and will not force anything."
Spiatus added: "As long as you don't make trouble in front of me. Those who make trouble behind my back, as long as it doesn't affect the interests, I will pretend that I don't know about it."
Jing Baiye had heard from Belmode and Jerez about the bloodshed when Spiatus came to power. He had been in a mafia organization in his previous life, so he understood the necessity of this method.
"But my subordinates...they are a little different."
Scotland is his temporary guardian and will care about him; Toru Amuro is very attached to him and is always worried about him replacing him; Morohoshi looks indifferent, but he has never disobeyed him...
"I'm sorry that they disturbed you. I apologize to you on their behalf because I failed to manage them properly." Jing Baiye, as the boss of the two parties involved, took the initiative to take the blame.
"It's indeed different." Spiatus suddenly smiled.
When Jing Baiye was in the United States and France, he occasionally heard about some bold members of the YY organization. What kind of person he was, such as n scars on his face, a look that could make babies stop crying, etc., for trivial matters
Just kill a lot of people, never laugh, etc...
As the leader of a transnational criminal organization, Spiatus is indeed not a gentle and generous person, but he is not as scary and cold-blooded as those guys think - at least he loves to laugh.
"It's a good thing that they have conflicts. If the three of them join forces, you will be in a lot of trouble... You don't need to apologize, it's not your fault, and I won't blame them."
Jing Baiye breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time sighed in his heart.
Spiatus opposite saw his depressed expression and did not continue the topic. He took out a rolled up drawing from his sleeve and handed it to him.
Jing Baiye took it and looked at Spiatus' cuffs, wondering how many things he had packed inside.
"This is the map of the mechanical house, with the approximate locations of the mechanisms marked." Spiatus retracted his hand, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Let's go tomorrow night."
"tomorrow?"
"News from Jerez, people from the zoo will be there tomorrow night."
Jing Baiye knew that Jerez was a police officer in the Violent Gang Countermeasures Division of the National Police Agency. This department was as the name suggests - not only the legal underworld, but other small gangs or large criminal organizations involved in serious violence, this department would come into contact with them, including those from whom the original owner was born.
group, the zoo and their organization that harmed Kuroba Toichi.
In fact, sometimes he worries about Jerez. In such a department that often deals with criminal organizations, will he be sent out by the National Police Agency to collect intelligence from a criminal organization one day... He has evolved from a triple undercover agent to a quadruple undercover agent.
"I know." Jing Baiye happily accepted the overtime work during the holiday, "Then the reward..."
"There will be." Spiatus said, "I will tell you when you come back from completing your mission."
At this moment, the screen of his mobile phone placed next to the tea cup suddenly lit up.
Jing Baiye knew how busy he was. Seeing that he received the call, she wanted to get up and say goodbye: "Since you have the call, I'll leave first..."
"Don't leave in a hurry, this may have something to do with you." Spiatus picked up the phone, raised his head and glanced at him, "Sit down."
"..." Jing Baiye sat down again after hearing this.
He knew the rules in the organization, and even if it was related to him, he still decided to clear his mind and prevent himself from eavesdropping on what Spiatus was saying.
But he soon discovered that this was not necessary, because after Spiatus answered the phone, he only said two sentences in total - "Are you sure?" and "I understand."
Seeing that it took Spiatus 10 seconds to resolve a phone call, Jing Baiye asked curiously: "Is it related to me?"
"It has something to do with your men." Spiatus stared at him with his crimson eyes, "Manhattan...it's Kevin Yoshino who joined the organization not long ago. He discovered the family of the Japanese police undercover."
"..."
Jing Baiye was not surprised that Kevin Yoshino got the code name so quickly. After all, this man was a retired second-class sergeant from the U.S. Marine Corps. His combat effectiveness was not weak. His focus was...
"Japanese police...undercover?"
He repeated Spiatus's words in a low voice, and something in his heart tugged hard.
Tohru Amuro can be temporarily ruled out based on his appearance. Could it be that... could one of Morohoshi Yama and Scotland be...
"It was Japanese Whiskey—I told you, the Japanese undercover police officer who was caught by Jerez and Gin last year—who found his son in Manhattan."
Spiatus looked at him steadily: "Who do you think I am talking about?"
Jing Baiye breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Because you said it was related to my subordinates, I subconsciously...but what does it have to do with them?"
"Japanese Whiskey's son has been admitted to the police academy and will graduate in half a year. He wants to inherit his father's legacy and sneak into the organization to avenge his father." Spiatus's voice was slow and clear, "Let one of your two men
, kill him on the day he graduates from the police academy."
"Just think of it as a code test." He added in a gentle tone.
Jing Baiye nodded, indicating that he understood.
Scotland already has a code name, and Toru Amuro is afraid of death, so only Morohoshi is left.
I hope this subordinate who has a similar temperament to Gin can do it. Among his three subordinates, there must be at least one partner who can accompany him on the killing mission.
But then again...
"There are really many undercover agents in the organization?"
cia undercover sour mash whiskey and ethan hondo, unknown fbi undercover, xyz cocktails from the zoo organization, japanese police undercover Japanese whiskey, and... french dgse undercover, panno.
Jing Baiye counted them: "There are only six that I know of."
"More than that." Spiatus put down his cell phone, as if mentioning something that had nothing to do with him, "CIA and FBI have sent new undercover agents to infiltrate the organization, one each for mi6, csis and bnd. Who are the Japanese police?
The local agency has the most undercover agents. In addition to the two new ones, we also plan to send a third one."
"…………"
Jing Baiye listened blankly. His first reaction was not whether Ginjiu had worked well in these years, but...
"Boss, are you...surrounded by undercover agents?"
