Chapter 293 The storm is coming
After feeling the body temperature from her sister, Huiyuan Yuki smiled gently, and gently put her arms around her sister, her eyes full of doting:

“Ai-chan, Mr. Makino is still watching. Mr. Makino probably has something important to say. It’s not too late to act cute to your sister after we finish talking about the serious matters~”

Without waiting for Huihara Ai to answer, Makino smiled and waved his hand, saying, “No, I have almost finished talking about the important things, and it’s time to leave~”

In his impression, although Haibara Ai has always been a sister complex, it seems that she has not reached this level yet.

Could it be that because he rescued Miyano Akemi from the brewery and allowed her to live with Haibara Ai for a long time under the identity of “Haiyara Yuki”, an unknown little switch deep in Haibara Ai’s heart was triggered?
Hearing this, Huiyuan Yuki frowned and said, “Ah? You finally came here, even if you don’t have anything important to do, you can stay for a while. You shouldn’t have had dinner yet, right? I’ll go now…”

Makino chuckled and shook his head, then slowly stood up and said, “You guys should want to have a good chat after hearing this news, right? I won’t disturb you sisters from spending time together, as I just need to go home to take care of some work.”

At this point, Makino paused and said seriously: “By the way, you can ask Xiao Ai for a few days off these two days. Tokyo will be more chaotic recently. Although your safety is not a problem, if possible, try to go out less recently. If you have any special needs, just contact me at any time.”

Hearing this, Huihara Yuki was stunned for a moment and nodded silently.

After hearing what Makino said, Haibara Ai, who had originally buried her head in Haibara Yuki’s arms, seemed to realize something and quickly turned to look at Makino with a slightly solemn expression.

Makino turned and walked towards the door, chuckling, “It’s not a big deal, it will be over soon. I’ll tell you in detail when it’s all over. You can take this time to think about your future life~”

After saying this, Makino left completely.

The Haibara sisters looked in the direction where Makino left with complicated expressions.

Although Makino didn’t say it explicitly, they all understood the meaning behind this sentence.

“The future and… freedom…”

……

The next morning.

Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Division, inside Makino’s office.

Makino looked at Kuroda Heibei in front of him and sighed helplessly.

From the time he entered the door until now, apart from basic procedures such as greeting and saluting, Kuroda Beiwei standing in front of him has not spoken a word.

That hesitant look, coupled with that already ferocious face…

The scene was very strange at one point.

Seeing that Kuroda Bei had no intention of speaking, Makino put down the documents in his hand and coughed lightly, “Ahem! Manager Kuroda, you came to my office specifically to see me. You must have something important to say, right?”

Makino’s light cough and question put an end to Kuroda Bei’s hesitant thoughts.

After tidying up his words a bit, Kuroda Bei nodded and said, “Counselor Makino, I heard that you will lead a team to visit and inspect the ocean buoy the day after tomorrow?”

Makino nodded and said, “Well, the director of that ocean buoy and I have some connection, so when the higher-ups learned the director’s name, they thought of me first.”

At this point, Makino narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Although Manager Kuroda has just arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, your name seems to be on the list of people sent by the Metropolitan Police Department to visit this time. It is said that a senior official of the Metropolitan Police Department personally included you in the list of visitors.”

When Kuroda Hei heard what Makino said, a light of “I’ve been discovered” suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The next second, Kuroda Bei slowly shook his head, with a hint of a smile on his face: “Counselor, please don’t tease me in this way. After all, I have already revealed my ‘other identity’ to you, right?
This ocean buoy is the world’s first facility connected to global police surveillance cameras. It can perform global facial recognition based on surveillance footage, which can greatly increase the efficiency of police in catching transnational criminals…”

Before Kuroda Bei finished speaking, Makino chuckled and shook his head, saying, “Manager Kuroda, let’s skip this kind of introduction to the public. I think you want to talk about something else, right?”

Seeing that Makino already understood the basic situation of the ocean buoy, Kuroda Bei’s expression suddenly became serious.

He first nodded seriously to Makino, then turned his head and looked around carefully. When his eyes passed by the place where there was a socket, he paused for a moment, and after confirming that there was no problem, he immediately looked at the next place.

“Don’t be so vigilant. At least there are no eavesdropping devices in my office.” After understanding Kuroda Hei’s intention, Makino let out a sigh of relief.

Although he could understand Kuroda Heibei’s cautious approach and attitude, just like Furuya Rei always asked him to meet in a “dark alley”, although he could understand it, he always felt that it was a bit weird.

Just like Kuroda Bei in front of him, he had been in his office for more than five minutes, but they still hadn’t talked about the main point…

After hearing what Makino said, Kuroda Bei was stunned for a moment, shook his head and laughed: “Sorry, Counselor, this has become my habit.”

“It’s okay, I understand. After all, you have been hiding underwater for a long time. If you don’t even have this kind of cautious thinking, I’m afraid something would have gone wrong long ago.” Makino shook his head calmly.

Kuroda Bei nodded, walked slowly forward to the desk where Makino was sitting, frowned and said: “According to the intelligence we have learned, that organization seems to be planning to attack the ocean buoy on the day when the ocean buoy is officially launched.

According to the intelligence from Zero, that organization seems to attach great importance to this operation and may even send…”

At this point, Kuroda Bei reorganized his words as if he was afraid that Makino would not believe him: “You should have heard about what happened in Yokohama not long ago? What I can tell you is that the incident is indeed related to the Black Organization.

In that incident, they deployed an armed helicopter and an Osprey aircraft. According to our investigation, both aircraft had sufficient firepower. In this Ocean Buoy Operation, the organization is likely to send even more powerful weapons and equipment!”

After mentioning this matter, the expression on Kuroda Bei’s face also changed slightly.

Although he understood the “power” of the organization better than many people, when he heard about this incident some time ago, he still felt a sense of urgency and powerlessness.

This was also one of the important reasons why he proposed to his superiors to transfer to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible.

In the past two years, the Black Organization has launched more and more actions in Tokyo, and the noise they have made has become increasingly louder.

Now, the Black Organization has even begun to use armed helicopters, which are extremely threatening heavy weapons that ordinary terrorist organizations cannot afford!

He always has a sense of urgency that a storm is about to come.

In the past, he could never imagine that the Black Organization would carry out such a mission so “openly”.

During the time he was asleep, some “unknown” changes seemed to have occurred within the organization. Thinking of this, Kuroda Heibei looked at Makino in front of him seriously, with a gleam of expectation in his eyes.

He had never seen such a powerful person.

No…it’s more terrifying than powerful!
Without the support of the “Public Security” intelligence system, Counselor Makino single-handedly weakened the power of the Black Organization in Tokyo.

To be honest, even the word “terrible” may not be enough to describe this Counselor Makino!

If this Counselor Makino could help…

……

While Kuroda Bei was observing Makino, Makino was also observing him.

Judging from what Kuroda Heibei just said, he didn’t seem to know that Furuya Rei had already told him this information.

In fact, Furuya Rei gave him much more information and intelligence than Kuroda Heibei.

If Kuroda Heibei had not deliberately “kept something back” for him, then it was probably that Furuya Rei had not told Kuroda Heibei and the “Public Security Bureau” all the information he knew.

After experiencing the exposure of “Murofushi Kagemitsu”, Furuya Rei obviously realized that just as he could be undercover in the winery, the winery could naturally place undercover agents among them.

Plus, there is a cross-dressing master named Vermouth in the organization who he is very familiar with… It is not difficult to understand why Furuya Zero would keep some tricks up his sleeve.

“Manager Kuroda, why did you tell me such important information?”

Kuroda frowned and said, “Counselor, although this is just my guess, based on my understanding of that organization, since they dared to attack the ocean buoy built by Interpol, it means that they have already made preparations in advance. For example, one of their members has already sneaked into the ocean buoy!
According to my understanding, although this ocean buoy is considered an underwater base of Interpol, the security measures are not very strict. It is not impossible for the organization’s people to sneak in!”

“Oh? You want me to help you find a member of the Black Organization who sneaked into this huge underwater base?” Makino stared calmly at Kuroda Heibei opposite him.

Although Kuroda Bei wanted to nod, he also knew that this request, which was like “looking for a needle in a haystack”, was indeed a bit outrageous.

After thinking for a moment, Kuroda Bei slowly shook his head and said, “No, I just want to borrow your wisdom and skills. If I really encounter any problems, I hope you can help me.”

……

That evening.

In a high-end restaurant near the Rice Flower Library.

After parking the car, Makino, led by the waiter, walked towards the private room that had been reserved long ago.

As soon as he opened the door of the box, a blonde woman with a ghostly smile appeared in Makino’s sight.

After the waiter closed the door and left, Makino slowly sat down opposite the blonde woman and chuckled, “Vermouth, is it really okay for you to go out without changing your appearance?”

Hearing this, the curve of Vermouth’s mouth became noticeably bigger: “Oh? Officer Makino, did you specifically ask me out on a date just to ask me this kind of question?”

Before Makino could speak, Vermouth nodded with a smile and said, “Although I don’t want to admit it, I quite like this face of mine~”

At this point, an expression of loneliness or pain flashed across Vermouth’s face.

This expression was keenly captured by Makino, but he did not intend to continue talking about this topic.

After sorting out her inner emotions, Vermouth smiled and shook her head and said, “Okay, Officer Makino. There is only one day left before the official operation. Have you figured out what to do?
I’ll tell you in secret that this time the boss gave me another order in secret. He asked me to find a way to tamper with the cross-age recognition system with facial recognition, completely erase our traces from the past surveillance records, and then…completely destroy this system and the creator of this system.

Unlike Rum who wants to use this system and its creator for his own benefit, BOSS seems more inclined to completely destroy everything related to this system~
In addition to me, other members of the organization who are not directly under Rum should have also received this secret order from the boss. Officer Makino, you should know what this means, right? “

Makino nodded slightly.

Although he had thought of this possibility a long time ago, before receiving this information from Vermouth, he only guessed that the BOSS and Rum might not be of the same mind.

Now it seems that BOSS and Rum have their own plans in mind.

In addition, it is also important information that BOSS wants to destroy this “cross-age recognition system with facial recognition function”.

Because only things that are not good for you need to be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Makino put away the smile on his face, looked carefully at Vermouth in front of him, and said seriously: “Vermouth, although it’s a bit fast, I’m ready to close the net.”

“What did you say?!” After hearing this, Vermouth’s smile suddenly froze on her face.

After seeing Vermouth’s expression, Makino smiled again: “Although I don’t want to admit it, the various information and intelligence you have provided me during this period of time are indeed very useful.”

Vermouth did not respond to Makino’s words, but said in a low voice with a serious expression: “Are you really not kidding? I know you are very powerful, but it is impossible to bring down the organization with just the information I gave you!

When this matter is over, I will leave Tokyo immediately and help you collect more information about the organization from abroad. You should know that this is not an easy task, nor is it something that can be rushed! Just you alone…”

Before Vermouth could finish, Makino slowly shook his head and said, “In fact, in addition to the information you gave me, I also have a little bit of information from other places, and you may have misunderstood. I don’t intend to do it myself~”

“What? Then what are you going to do?” Vermouth frowned and stared at Makino in front of her with a puzzled look.

Makino chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll know when the time comes. Let’s get back to the point. Considering our partnership and the information you provided me, I want to give you a choice.”

“choose?”

“That’s right, Vermouth… do you want to fake your death or really die?”

Vermouth: “???”
