After the Undercover System Went Haywire, I Switched to Grinding Suspicion Points Chapter 243
Under Gin's concealnt, it wasn't until the day of action that Chianti finally understood what this mission was about.
"Gin's going to kill your housekeeper."
Chianti lay on the container at the port, looking through her sniper scope at the several people confronting each other in the distance, talking to Usuha Izuki through her earpiece: "How about it, Botanist? Want to help save her? He's definitely trying to strike at you by killing your housekeeper, maybe even starve you to death..."
Usuha Izuki was silent for a mont: "Although Gin isn't a good person, he wouldn't use such thods. Can't I just go out and buy food myself?"
Chianti was actually just habitually pinning bla on Gin: "Then he just simply wants to kill your people. Just like if Vodka died, Gin would feel uncomfortable doing anything—gradually cutting off your arms! Now he's killing your housekeeper, next he'll kill !"
Usuha Izuki said in a comforting tone: "Calm down. He's at most just making an example of soone. He wouldn't really make a move on you. As long as you don't give him a reason, even if you die, it would definitely be on a mission, not so blatantly."
Being further provoked, Chianti really felt annoyed: "Thinking about it this way, weren't those people who went on missions with him and got killed as undercover agents really wronged?"
"Even if they were wronged, they're dead. The Boss stands with Gin, and dead people can't explain themselves." Usuha Izuki sighed. "Look, he wants to kill Miyano Akemi and definitely cleared it with the Boss first, otherwise he wouldn't dare touch people around ... And Miyano Akemi does have deep connections with the FBI. Since it's the Boss's order, I can't say much..."
He indeed didn't say much, but the unwillingness and dissatisfaction with Gin in his tone were almost overflowing. Chianti empathized: "So what do we do? Just watch Gin kill her?"
"We can't let Gin take all the benefits." Usuha Izuki said. "Like this—when you see Gin about to kill soone, you beat him to it and kill Miyano Akemi first!"
Chianti: "...Hah?"
"Just shoot the heart. Don't shoot the head. I'll see if I can prepare her for burial later. After all, she's taken care of for so many years. When she goes, it's better if she looks beautiful..."
Listening to Usuha Izuki's muttering, Chianti pondered for a mont—and accepted this logic.
Right, although Botanist was mostly normal in front of her, the rumors did say he was a bit crazy. Maybe in his logic, beating Gin to shooting Miyano Akemi's heart was indeed a win-win situation that both got revenge on Gin and repaid Miyano Akemi.
This logic was a bit strange for normal people, but it was just right for a ntal patient.
So what if he was ntally ill? ntal patients often produced geniuses! This wouldn't affect her relationship with Botanist!
Usuha Izuki seed very worried as he asked: "Can you do it? Do you know where the heart is?"
Chianti couldn't stand being provoked and imdiately said: "What's there not to know? She's even standing still. If I can't hit this, I'll twist Gin's head off and give it to you to kick like a ball!"
"That's good. After all, you're soone I brought in. If you drop the ball in front of Gin at a ti like this, I'll lose all face." Usuha Izuki sighed with emotion. "Oh right, after you kill Miyano Akemi, rember to fire a few shots near Gin to scare him. How dare he touch my housekeeper!"
Chianti would never pass up such a chance for personal revenge. Actually, she'd always been annoyed with Gin threatening people with guns all the ti, but she couldn't retaliate herself. Now with Usuha Izuki backing her, she was suddenly energized like she'd been injected with adrenaline: "OK, leave it to . Stop talking for now—they seem about to break down!"
As Chianti predicted, Gin was indeed about to make his move.
Gin's personality was actually quite nasty too. He liked playing with opponents like a cat with a mouse, occasionally showing very dramatic expressions that would scare children to tears—but since eting Usuha Izuki, his smiles had beco much rarer.
Vodka actually wanted to ask "Big Brother, why don't you smile anymore?" but realizing he couldn't smile for similar reasons, he silently swallowed those words back.
However, today Gin rarely smiled. Even though he felt Usuha Izuki didn't have any real feelings for this housekeeper, and the main point of this mission wasn't to make Usuha Izuki uncomfortable, just thinking that Usuha Izuki would be in a bad mood because of this made him unable to control his good mood.
Although it was still a cold laugh that made anyone who saw it feel no joy, in Vodka's eyes, Gin was indeed in good shape today.
Well, after all, he was only facing a powerless female college student who had just graduated, the mission content was simple, and he'd successfully prevented Usuha Izuki's participation. What was wrong with Big Brother being happy!
Miyano Akemi was still trying to argue: "You're too naive, Gin. If you kill , you'll never get that ten billion!"
Gin showed a cruel smile: "The naive one is you. Do you think I don't know where you hid the money? I told you, this is your last chance. Even if your sister has so status, it can't prevent your death..."
He subtly adjusted his hand movents, about to pull the trigger.
But at that instant, suddenly a gunshot rang out. A bullet shot past almost grazing Gin's hat, and the next second hit Miyano Akemi's heart area. She staggered, clutched her chest, and fell to the ground.
Gin, whose kill had been stolen: "...???"
Gin quickly realized it was Chianti.
Although he'd agreed to Chianti participating in this mission, it was actually just a compromise strategy to avoid Usuha Izuki coming himself. His order to Chianti was to stand by remotely and wait for him to kill Miyano Akemi. If Miyano Akemi brought backup or sothing, Chianti would provide covering fire.
But this woman actually acted on her own initiative and moved before him...
"Chianti..." Gin gritted his teeth, about to say sothing, when several more bullets landed at his feet, forcing Gin to dodge several steps and move further from Miyano Akemi's corpse.
Although Gin felt Chianti wouldn't be stupid enough to kill him at a ti like this, this provocative behavior and being at a disadvantage with no way to retaliate made him very uncomfortable.
He looked from afar at Miyano Akemi's body and the pool of blood. Based on Chianti's sniper rifle and the amount of bleeding, she probably wouldn't survive. He turned to Vodka: "Retreat!"
"What about Chianti..." Vodka was also shocked by Chianti's sudden disobedience.
"We'll settle accounts when we get back!"
After observing Gin and Vodka's retreat, Chianti also didn't stay. While running toward where she'd parked, she reported to Usuha Izuki: "One shot hit Miyano Akemi's heart. I also drove Gin away. I think he'll co settle accounts with later."
Usuha Izuki said straightforwardly: "Just tell him I ordered it."
Chianti was close to her parking spot. When Vodka and Gin arrived, she was already waiting impatiently by the car.
"Too slow!"
Vodka was shocked by her attitude: "Chianti, shouldn't you be explaining your behavior just now?"
"You said to kill her, so what's with all the dawdling? I suspected Gin was stalling for ti. Maybe the police would co surround us soon..."
Gin said with a dark face: "Get in the car first."
Chianti also got in the car. As soon as she closed the door, she turned to see Gin pointing a gun at her.
"Speak. What exactly do you an? Why did you act without authorization?"
"...Botanist said we can't let you take all the good stuff, so he told to act first. This way you'll be disgusted for a week. If you don't believe , you can call Botanist and ask."
Gin: "............"
Vodka: "...Big Brother, I think we don't need to ask. Only Botanist could do sothing like this."
Chianti looked very displeased: "Enough already? Put your gun down! Just an undercover agent, always threatening people..."
Hearing Chianti call him an undercover agent again, Gin's blood pressure rose: "Your first shot was aid at Miyano Akemi. What about the following shots?"
"Oh, I wanted to provide covering fire, but I was chatting with Botanist on the phone and accidentally slipped." Chianti was also good at making excuses. "Who told you to stand where you blocked my view?"
This was obviously an excuse, but after involving Usuha Izuki, Gin didn't want to continue confirming.
Anyway, it was just Usuha Izuki wanting to disgust him, and Chianti also found him displeasing, so she improvised a bit. Too normal.
"Just tell if the mission is completed or not." Chianti rolled her eyes. "With your dawdling, you couldn't even fire when the police arrived. What's wrong with helping! Besides, this was Botanist's order. He said if you have any complaints, go directly to him and stop giving attitude."
Gin took a deep breath and put away his gun.
Forget it. When he agreed to let Chianti join, he'd prepared for things to go wrong. It was just disgusting that soone died before he could act himself, but the mission objective was achieved. It was already much better than the worst result he'd anticipated.
Miyano Akemi, dead.
But Miyano Akemi, whom Gin believed was already dead, had actually been rescued by people hiding nearby in advance.
"You... who are you..."
"Japanese Public Security, Kazami Yuya." The serious-looking man showed Miyano Akemi his police badge.
Miyano Akemi was confused: "Eh? Not the FBI?"
Kazami Yuya: "...? Why would there be FBI here? Also, stop talking first, with this amount of bleeding..."
"Uh, it's okay. I'm actually wearing a bulletproof vest, but it only has plates in the heart area. If it were anywhere else, I'd be done for... This blood is from blood packs."
After all, good quality full bulletproof vests were actually quite cumberso to wear. With her slender build, Gin would definitely notice if she wore a full set.
So she'd retrieved from a box disguised as a book delivery to her ho this bulletproof vest that only reinforced the heart area, sent by "soone." It supposedly could stop light sniper rifles. She'd actually been a bit doubtful, but had no other choice and could only choose to trust... Since she survived, she hadn't trusted the wrong person.
Miyano Akemi took off her windbreaker, wincing as she held her chest: "But it still hurts a lot..."
"After all, the impact was quite strong. Your internal organs might be injured. You'd better not move... This bulletproof vest is pretty high quality. Is it also the organization's black technology?"
Kazami Yuya responded sowhat dumbly.
...Why did this seem different from what his superior had explained?! This person was actually fine and nowhere near dying!
And why did this Miss Miyano think the FBI would co?!
Where exactly did their communication go wrong?!
