Chapter 406: Cough Twice After Being Kidnapped
"I saw the summary you submitted. I heard that your evaluation of Epcot was D?"
The voice on the phone was very deep, and the traces of voice change were so obvious that it was obvious at a glance that it was not the voice changer invented by Dr. Ali. If Conan were like him, he would have revealed that he was not dead.
But no matter how much Nobufan wanted to complain about, he couldn't say it. He had to flatter the leader with a smile: "If you think I'm not perfect, please correct me."
"..." The BOSS on the other side of the phone was silent for two seconds, and then he said uncertainly, "If you are kidnapped, just cough twice, and I will send Belmode to rescue you."
The BOSS is so pitiful. The super villain who holds the power of life and death of the largest transnational criminal group has never been able to establish a qualified leadership image for the new era in front of his subordinates. The prestige is not even as good as a mere gin. At least Shirley was definitely more afraid of Gin.
Nobuhiro coughed twice and said seriously: "I wrote the summary based on the actual situation. I think there are still big problems with Epcot's working ability."
"Newcomers always need time. You didn't know everything when you first joined the organization, right?"
This question may be a trap and difficult to answer.
Fortunately, the gentleman didn't give him time to think about how to use roundabout words. He then ordered: "So I hope you will investigate Epcot when you are free recently."
Nobushige was surprised: "I thought the investigation was over before Epcot got the code name."
The gentleman did not respond directly to his doubts, but emphasized: "You are responsible for this matter alone, don't let Rum know."
After hearing this, Xinfan raised his eyebrows and laughed playfully.
It's interesting. Is there a rift between that gentleman and Rum?
To say that what the red side wants to see most at the moment is definitely the organization's internal strife, allowing them to reap the benefits without spending a single soldier.
Although BOSS and Rum are both extremely wise and measured people, it should be impossible for an irreconcilable conflict to break out between them. But even if the two sides are just suspicious of each other, it is already good news for Nobuhiro.
…
Before starting the investigation against Epcot, Nobuhiro originally thought it was a very simple matter. Because he knew Epcott's real name, her identity and experience, this was already a higher starting point than the starting point for investigating other people.
In fact, Tanaka Kikue's past experiences until her attempted murder were all very normal. But not long after that, Tanaka Kikue seemed to disappear from the world, leaving no trace.
Nobuhiro even used public security resources to investigate in detail, but still found nothing. This made him even more suspicious that Tanaka Kikue and Rum might be inextricably linked.
For this reason, Nobushige decided to start with Rum.
Rum is no stranger to every member of the organization. In many missions in the past, Nobuhiro has directly received Rum's orders. As an undercover police officer, he had investigated Rum's basic situation many years ago.
The person Xinfan trusts most in the organization now is Silla. He still needs to worry about whether Bourbon will be cheated, but Silla will not give him such worries at all.
Nobushige also handed over the task of investigating Rum to Silla. Silla has Pisco's intelligence network and connections, and he may make surprising discoveries.
At the same time, Nobuhiro was not idle. He browsed a large number of documents and reports handled by Rum in the recent period, hoping to find clues pointing to Epcot.
Rum's whereabouts are a mystery, and his location should change at any time. He can only confirm that Rum has visited the United States recently, but what exactly he went to do is unknown.
"In addition, I also found out that Rum had met with Epcot alone." Silla held the coffee cup and said helplessly, "Rum is usually too careful, and he has a special identity, so I didn't dare to find out too clearly. .”
Nobushige warned: "This is the gentleman's order, so you can be a little bolder. But try not to let Rum notice."
I doubt that there will be any punishment, but having that gentleman question my abilities is not worth the loss.
Silla nodded, but did not ask why the BOSS asked Mescal to investigate Rum.
He suddenly remembered something: "There is something I don't know if I need to report to you. There has been a very large personnel transfer at the FBI recently. I have already told Gin about this news."
"What specific aspects of personnel transfer are you referring to?"
Silas thought for a few seconds before saying: "The FBI transferred a group of people from the United States to Japan. Among them was a very powerful sniper. It was initially judged that the sniper ability was no less than Shuichi Akai's paper data."
Nobushige was slightly surprised.
Shuichi Akai's paper data can completely defeat professional snipers like Chianti and Calvados. Having such strength means that the new FBI agent is better at sniping than most people in the organization.
The FBI is really full of talented people.
However, it would be better if they could break into the Japanese police's territory without being so gangster-like and logical!
Silla's eyes suddenly became sharp when she looked at Mescal, and she suddenly felt inexplicable.
Why did he suddenly feel that Mescal hated the FBI more than the organization?
Could it be that he previously misunderstood the focus of the public security work and only investigated the organization's intelligence, but ignored the FBI?
Fortunately, I woke up early!
Silla vowed that from now on, his main task would be to dig out FBI intelligence, and he would never let those Americans run wild in Japan.
Xinfan was staring at the computer seriously, but he suddenly noticed that Silla opposite him was excited, so he glanced at him inexplicably and cleverly.
"What's wrong with you...!!!" Nobuhiro swallowed the question.
Silla asked strangely: “What’s wrong?”
Nobuhiro read the document on the screen carefully, especially the date and the location of the signature. He read it three times.
Even so, he still doubted whether he had seen it wrong, because——
"This report from seventeen years ago is signed with Mezcal in the signature position." Nobushige said in shock.
"No way?" Silla was stunned, then stuck her head over, "It's really true. But you shouldn't have joined the organization at that time, right?"
More than that.
Nobushige knew that his original code name was Scotland, and that the code name Mescal was given to him after he accepted a special mission from that gentleman.
Who was Mescal seventeen years ago? Why did this code name fall on Nobushige?
Nobuhiro's expression suddenly became serious, and he said to Silla: "You should have all Pisk's things. He is the elder of the organization and should know what happened seventeen years ago."
"I'll investigate immediately!"
