【Chi'an】Lies Tetralogy

When Kazami climbed the narrow outdoor stairs to the top floor of the old apartment, he saw Amuro sitting alone against the edge of the wall, blowing the evening breeze.Seeing him climbing up out of breath, Amuro seemed a little surprised.

"Only you?"

"I drove over after receiving your signal. The rest of us are still on standby near the venue." Kazami thought for a while, and suddenly realized the meaning of Amuro's words, and added: "Akai Shuichi's words have already retreated by themselves .”

Amuro frowned, "Did he say anything before he left?"

"He said that you should be safe and sound. Since the other party has seen through the disguise, it will be useless for him to stay for a long time, so he will go back first."

That bastard who did his own way... Amuro took out the transmitter hidden in the ear hole, and Kazami found him with this thing.It seems that when he was taken away by Kidd, Akai also tracked his movement, so he judged that it would be okay to leave him alone.Not seeing Akai made Amuro somewhat relieved, but also somewhat uneasy.

"Forget it. Let everyone know that we will call it a day."

On the way back in Kazami's car, Amuro briefly recounted the confrontation with Izumiguji.Due to Kidd's intrusion, and Amuro acting in the name of the black organization, in fact, they failed to grasp the handle of the Quangongji Group this time, and they were still unable to carry out the arrest publicly; "The reason was prevaricated to the police.Although it is close to the truth, it can only re-plan the next course of action.

"Recent work seems to be not going well..."

Amuro rested his cheek in one hand, facing out the window, Kazami glanced at him, feeling that his boss looked a little frustrated.The experience of being with Amuro let Kazami know that although Amuro is good at disguising, sometimes his temperament is very revealing, and the tiredness after the task is over can make people relax. This may be the true side of Amuro that he can show in front of Kazami a little.

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it started when the investigation of Akai's fake death case started."

"He's a bloody broom star." Kazami said.

Amuro laughed softly.

"That's right. The guy who brought bad luck..." The young man was still looking at the passing lights outside the window, but stopped talking.Kazami drove the car silently, unable to guess what Amuro was thinking at the moment, but perhaps because of the light, he looked a little confused.

Bourbon leaned over the railing and squinted down.Ley was standing downstairs in the shade of the trees, and his face couldn't be seen from here, but Pop could imagine that unpleasant face, which must be the expressionless one with a cigarette in his mouth again.Ley seemed to be waiting for someone.

This guess was soon confirmed.A few minutes later, a car drove up and stopped in front of the building.Ley dropped the cigarette, stamped it out at his feet, and walked to the car, his long black hair bobbing with his steps.The car window rolled down, revealing a woman's smiling face.

"What are you looking at?" A voice sounded beside Bo itself.

Before he could straighten up, a hand reached out and rubbed the top of his head. "Every time I see you lying on your stomach like this, you look like a child who hasn't grown up." The man code-named Scotch Whiskey smiled softly.Bourbon didn't complain, and smoothed his tousled hair with his hands. "Have you finished reporting to Gin?"

"Well, the boss seems to be quite satisfied." Scotland threw the piano case on his back, "Ley's last shot just happened to help us."

"I could have done it myself without him!" protested Bourbon, "and he blew the man's head off in front of the kid, it was—"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say," Scotch's voice was not accusatory, but to the point. "You still behaved too honestly, Zero. The method of rescuing the hostages like that is too much like a policeman, not a killer in an organization... It will make people suspicious."

Bourbon still seemed a little unconvinced, "Rye fired that shot just to steal my credit."

Seeing his unhappy look, Scotland felt that he was really childish, so he couldn't help but patted the back of his head again.Bourbon stopped blowing his hair and sighed.

"According to what you mean, I still have to thank that cold-blooded knit hat freak?" He looked down angrily, and found that Ley was no longer there, and the car had just started to drive away. "It's really easy to handle, just after killing a man and then hugging a woman." He said sarcastically.

"I heard that Ley loves that girl very much, and treats her very dearly."

"Is that so..." Bourbon showed a lack of interest, and walked down the stairs with Scotland.He knew that woman was Shirley's older sister—the daughter of Miyano Elena.

"I hope so. Otherwise, there's nothing good about that annoying fellow."

"...Senior, Senior Jianggu!"

Amuro snapped back to his senses. "Ah, sorry! What did you just say?"

"I mean where should I send you. Mr. Jiang Gu, you don't look very good, are you okay?"

"It's just a little distracted." Amuro looked outside in a daze, and found that the car had already driven into Mihua Town. "Just go ahead and put me down. Thank you for the report later, Kazami."

"A matter of duty."

Kazami turned the car across a street and stopped on the side of the road.When Amuro unbuttoned his seat belt, Kazami said: "I talked to Akai Hideichi today, maybe I did something unnecessary, please forgive me."

"You and Akai?" Amuro showed a surprised expression. "What did you say?"

"I hope he pays attention to propriety."

Amuro seemed a little embarrassed for a moment, but Kazami immediately continued: "When Akai was rounded up, maybe I should have come to Hayama Road."

"why?"

"At that time, we all thought he was at Kudou's house, so we stayed here to catch him, but we didn't expect the deity to appear on the other side. If I were there-in short, I couldn't help you that time."

"No, it's the same even if you go."

Amuro shook his head, a helpless smile in his voice.Does it mean that I am not Shuichi Akai's opponent?Kazami thought a little unpleasantly.

"I just don't want to see you being so upset."

"Thank you, Kazami-kun." Amuro opened the car door, his bright purple-gray eyes looked younger than Kazami. "It's enough for you to fulfill your mission in your own position."

"With all due respect, you have not set an example on this point."

"Huh, is it?"

"After all, a commander like you who is always at the forefront is rare."

Amuro grinned. "With such an incompetent boss, we need more reliable subordinates." He got out of the car and threw the automatic rifle in his hand to Kazami. "This gun belongs to the FBI. I confiscated it. You can take it back to the headquarters and hand it in."

In the dead of night, the flowers and branches on the walls of the houses on both sides of the block exude a strong fragrance.Amuro walked a certain distance before he heard Kazami's car leaving behind.He slowly turned a corner, and Kudo's mansion appeared in sight.

The lights in the mansion were still on.

Amuro's heart skipped a beat.He walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked at the light through the iron fence.But just as Amuro was hesitating whether to open the door and go in, the lights went out.
