Chapter 298 Rum
Beika-cho, luxury apartment.

After asking the only two subordinates left to guard the garage downstairs and outside the room door respectively, Rum walked into the house with a serious expression.

Since he received calls from all over the world in the evening, he has been trying to find a way to get in touch with the outside world.

But until now, he has not received any useful response or intelligence.

What’s even more incredible is that in less than half a day…the organization’s “core members” around the world and several of its most important research bases lost contact.

It can be said that the organization has almost reached the point of being “dead in name only”.

Even for him, it was the first time he encountered such a “special and desperate” situation.

He also basically understood what happened on the ocean buoy.

Although the ocean buoy was successfully blown up as originally planned, the Interpol and the arrested Binga seemed to have evacuated before the attack.

Not only that, the organization’s destroyers and submarines were discovered and sunk by nearby troops as soon as they destroyed the ocean buoys.

If nothing unexpected happens, Vermouth, Bourbon and others on the destroyer may have “completely lost contact”.

Although the news was extremely bad, Rum no longer had the energy to think about it.

With the organization on the verge of collapse… or already collapsed, he didn’t have the energy to think about these “little things”.

And he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something “extremely important.”

After a long time, Rum’s eyes accidentally swept across the mobile phone on the table. After seeing the black screen of the mobile phone, he instantly thought of something and his pupils suddenly contracted.

The next second, he immediately picked up his phone and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.

Until now, the BOSS has not contacted him!

Although the BOSS has been in seclusion for a long time, it is impossible for him not to know what is happening in the outside world!
The BOSS that he had been looking for for so many years could naturally not be found by those intelligence organizations.

The only possibility…

Thinking of this, Rum tightly grasped the phone in his hand, veins popping out on his forehead: “Have you already made such a plan… Boss?!”

Putting aside why the intelligence organizations of various countries took action at the same time, there is a major premise before this – “intelligence organizations around the world know the exact locations of important members and bases of the organization in various places.”

But apart from him and the BOSS, it is impossible for any person or organization to know so much and such detailed organizational intelligence!

In other words, the one who leaked this information to those intelligence organizations was probably not someone else… but the BOSS himself!

Only in this way can it be explained why those intelligence organizations know the confidential intelligence of so many organizations.

Only in this way can we explain why the organization collapsed so quickly, and why the boss deliberately disappeared and gradually cut off ties with the organization…

–“Bang!!”

When the last bit of rationality was devoured by the burning rage, Rum threw the phone in his hand directly at the computer screen in front of him. The flying glass fragments reflected his bloodshot pupils and the uncontrollable rage on his face.

——“Click”

A moment later, a slight sound of a door opening suddenly came from behind Rum.

After hearing the door open, Rum took a few deep breaths and said without turning his head, “I’m fine, just continue to guard the door!”

After saying this, Rum put his hands on the table and prepared to stand up.

As his anger gradually subsided, his body seemed to have lost its strength. Without supporting himself on the table with his hands, he was unable to stand up with the strength of his legs.

After successfully standing up, Rum did not continue walking, but stood there with a pale face.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he seemed not to hear the reply from his subordinates and the sound of the door closing behind him.

Carter would never open the door and come in without my permission!

Something is wrong!
Thinking of this, Rum immediately turned his head and looked behind him.

A strange man wearing a black suit, a black top hat and a monocle on his face instantly appeared in his sight.

The strange man, with his white-gloved hands, carried his two men who were supposed to be standing guard in the garage and outside the door.

After seeing the scene in front of him, Rum was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly covered his face and burst into laughter.

——“Hahahahaha!”

After the laughter stopped, Rum looked at the strange man in front of him with a complicated look and said slowly: “The boss sent you to clean me up? Humph, how ironic! We don’t know where he is, but he knows me and the organization very well…”

Hearing what Rum said, Makino threw away the non-burnable garbage in his hand, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to borrow the identity of the “faked-death thief”, but he didn’t expect that Rum would directly treat him as the “BOSS’s man.”

Seeing that Makino didn’t answer, Rum slowly closed his eyes and laughed at himself: “I see, it seems that the boss has long planned to enjoy the results alone, and then get rid of the organization that is no longer useful to him, and me as a ‘scapegoat’?!”

After hearing this, Makino roughly understood what Rum meant.

It was similar to what he had guessed before. Rum had already guessed and had some ideas about the BOSS’s “invisibility”, otherwise he would not have been trying to find the BOSS.

Makino glanced at Rum, whose expression and emotions were out of control, then glanced at the smashed cell phone and laptop behind Rum with the corner of his eye, and a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

After saying what he wanted to say, Rum did not continue to focus his gaze on Makino in front of him, but covered his face with his hands and let out an extremely weird laugh.

It was the first time that Makino heard such a “complex and ugly” laughter. Rum’s laughter seemed to be mixed with a variety of emotions such as “anger, loss, ridicule, fear, etc.”

Apart from laughing, Rum didn’t make any unnecessary movements, and it seemed that he didn’t even have the thought of “fighting back” or “escaping”.

After a moment’s silence, Makino waved his hand and knocked out the almost “crazy” Rum, then walked to the table beside him and asked Bane to check the laptop and mobile phone on the table.

After doing all this, Makino looked down at Rum and two of Rum’s subordinates who were tied up by him, then looked up at his surroundings, asked Bane to help calculate the appropriate amount of explosives, and then took out a pistol from the system backpack.

——“Bang! Bang…”

……

The next morning, Hachijo Island.

The waters near the ocean buoy have been completely blocked by the “Okinawa Force” and the nearby “Maritime Guard”. Non-military agencies such as Interpol and the Metropolitan Police Department have no reason to stay here anymore.

After breakfast, Makino left the Suzuki Resort Hotel in Inspector Shiratori’s car and prepared to go to the Metropolitan Police Department.

In addition to Makino and Inspector Shiratori, there were also Chief Makino Yosuke and Naomi in the car.

“Counselor Makino, how is the investigation of the intruder going? Can you tell us?” Director Makino Yosuke looked at Makino beside him and spoke slowly. Makino shook his head slowly and said, “Director Makino, you don’t have to be so polite. The person was caught in Interpol territory, so we will naturally share intelligence~
My men were interrogating that man last night, but he seemed to be very tight-lipped and didn’t reveal any useful information or intelligence. At present, we only know that he is a member of a terrorist organization, and his code name in that organization is ‘Binga’. “

“Terrorist organization…Binga…” Director Makino Yosuke frowned deeply.

When Naomi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard the word “Binga” from Makino’s mouth, she glanced at Makino through the rearview mirror without leaving a trace, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

‘Is he the fellow called Binga?’

Without waiting for Chief Makino Yosuke to speak again, Makino chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, the higher-ups contacted me this morning. Until the results of the interrogation of that ‘Binga’ come out, you can temporarily stay near the Metropolitan Police Department.

Accommodation has been arranged for you, and if you want, you can watch the entire interrogation process.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you!” Director Makino Yosuke nodded gratefully.

After a moment, Director Makino Yosuke seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: “By the way, Counselor Makino, although the ocean buoy is gone… we may stay in Tokyo for a long time for the time being.

Because the headquarters seemed to be very busy as well. Just yesterday afternoon, when the ocean buoy incident happened, our headquarters seemed to have joined forces with Europol and local police agencies to carry out a large-scale operation.

I don’t know the specific content of this operation, but according to the above statement, this should be the largest anti-terrorist operation to date.”

Hearing this, Inspector Shiratori, who was driving, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the rearview mirror in astonishment: “Counselor!”

Inspector Shiratori’s strange reaction immediately aroused the curiosity of Chief Makino Yosuke and Naomi, and they both turned to look at Makino at the same time.

After noticing the gazes of several people, Makino slowly spoke: “According to the information we have obtained so far, yesterday afternoon, SAT members of police headquarters in various places, including the Metropolitan Police Department, received an attack order and also carried out an anti-terrorist operation.”

“What?!” Upon hearing the news, Director Makino Yosuke’s eyes widened.

After a long silence, Director Makino Yosuke frowned and said, “Is there any connection between them? Interpol, Europol, and even this country…”

……

At the same time, inside the FBI temporary base in Haido Town.

Shuichi Akai looked carefully at the information sent from FBI headquarters on the computer screen, frowning.

At this moment, Judy came over with two cups of iced coffee: “Xuyi, you have been staring at this information for an hour.”

Hearing this, Akai Shuichi slowly closed his eyes and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.

Judy was right, he seemed to have been staring at the document for a long time.

After taking a sip of the coffee handed to him by Judy, Akai Shuichi frowned and said, “Both this information and yesterday’s actions are too…suspicious!”

Hearing this, Judy also frowned with a serious expression.

After they received the emergency order from headquarters yesterday, they immediately set out.

After arriving at the destination and starting a firefight with the other side, they discovered that the “terrorist organization” mentioned by the headquarters was actually the Black Organization they had been tracking down.

In addition to them, local SAT troops and public security members seemed to have received similar tasks. Like them, they rushed to the black organization bases in various places to launch annihilation operations.

Not only that, according to the intelligence just sent by the headquarters, it seems that the headquarters of their FBI and CIA have dispatched a large number of personnel to attack the bases of the Black Organization in various parts of the Lighthouse Country and eliminate many members of the Black Organization…

The Black Organizations in Japan and Lighthouse seemed to have suffered devastating blows at the same time.

This massive action started quickly and ended quickly.

This cannot be explained simply by the word “suspicious”.

In order to obtain more information and to find out what exactly happened, their boss James took the earliest flight of the day and is currently on his way back to headquarters.

After a moment of silence, Judy slowly spoke to comfort Akai Shuichi: “Don’t think too much about it, let’s wait until the boss understands the situation first. Besides, although this action is full of strangeness, the Black Organization has indeed suffered a serious blow, which is obviously beneficial to us!”

Akai Shuichi nodded silently and let out a light breath.

That’s true. Although this incident was extremely strange, they did greatly weaken the power of the Black Organization through this action.

If I remember correctly, the second in command of the Black Organization, Rum, should also be in this country. I don’t know what he will do next…

……

Soon after, the Police Department.

Chief Inspector Tezuka looked cautiously at Makino and Minister Odagiri in front of him and smiled sheepishly: “I’m very sorry, you two, it’s true that you arrested the man, but…”

Before Chief Inspector Tezuka could finish, Minister Odagiri shook his head and said, “It’s okay, Chief Tezuka. According to the information, this suspect named Binga is the criminal who broke into Europol’s surveillance base in Frankfurt not long ago. In addition, he sneaked into Interpol’s ocean buoy this time, which is indeed beyond the management scope of our Metropolitan Police Department.”

Inspector Tezuka did not express his opinion, but turned his head carefully again to observe Makino’s expression.

It wasn’t until he saw Makino nod that he breathed a sigh of relief and was completely relieved.

Makino: “?”

This should be the first time he and this National Police Agency officer named Inspector Tezuka met, right?

Why did he see such a complex look of “respect and fear” in the other person’s eyes?

Without waiting for Makino to ask, Chief Inspector Tezuka smiled and said, “Please rest assured, although the person must be detained here, the task of interrogation will not change and will be handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department!”

Hearing this, Makino and Minister Odagiri looked at each other and nodded silently.

Inspector Tezuka’s meaning was very clear. Although the National Police Agency must be responsible for “Binga”, the task of interrogation and the credit would be fully attributed to their Criminal Department.

After leaving Inspector Tezuka’s office, Minister Odagiri looked at Makino beside him in confusion: “Have you met Inspector Tezuka before? Why do I feel like he seems a little afraid of you?”

Makino thought for a moment and shook his head, “I don’t know. This is also the first time I’ve met Inspector Tezuka.”

After finishing speaking, Makino turned his head and glanced at the office door labeled “Foreign Affairs Department” and had a vague guess in his mind.

It seems that Inspector Tezuka, who is in charge of the Foreign Affairs Division on the surface, is also a member of the “Public Security”.

Only this can explain his behavior when facing me just now.

——“Buzz buzz buzz”

At this moment, Makino’s cell phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming call.

After seeing the words “Kudo Yusaku” displayed on the screen, Makino’s eyes suddenly flashed with a smile, and he thought to himself: “As expected of Kudo Yusaku, he is so well-informed.”
