[Lord Conan] Bourbon's Lover is Japan

The series of Internet of Things terrorist attacks caused by Makoto Kusakabe ended successfully when the wreckage of "Swan" was successfully recovered and no one was injured.

Eguchi finally controlled the strength so that the bullet of order would not directly penetrate the cabin that was weaker than the wall of the Karasuma Annex, protecting the Martian soil samples in the cabin.

The shocking rescue incident came to a successful conclusion, and the prestige of the police not only did not decline as Kusakabe had hoped, but instead rose.

But for the police, they didn't want to take credit. They just breathed a sigh of relief when everyone cheered, then rolled up their sleeves and finished off a cup of celebratory espresso, and then cheered up to clean up the follow-up.

The aftermath work took them all night, and it only solved the problem of evacuating the crowd to go home.

There are still a lot of reports to be written.

Everyone was exhausted—even though they were full of energy at the critical moment, after letting go of the big stone in their hearts, the tight strings were loosened, and the accumulated fatigue surged up in one breath.

Rao Fuguya Ling, after driving so intensely, his body has somewhat reached its limit.Eguchi took over part of his communication work and drove him to the lounge for a while.

Makoto Kusakabe is currently still in the Metropolitan Police Department.Compared with dealing with this disqualified public security prosecutor who is no longer able to commit crimes, what is more important right now is the diplomatic problems caused by the hacking of the NAZU system and the problem of transferring the work from Scepter4 to the public security again.

Eguchi ran into Kazami while he was out making coffee.

Seeing Eguchi coming out of Furutani Rei's office, he froze for a moment.

Eguchi nodded to him to say hello, but Kazami hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that she was leaving, he called out eagerly.

"Miss Eguchi!...I have something to say to you, is it convenient now?"

Eguchi tilted his head.

Wind is not normal.

It was a bit unusual when he set off from Furutani Rei to arrest Kusakabe.

"What's wrong?"

"..."

It was he who wanted to talk, but it was very difficult to do so.

Feng Jian clenched his fists tightly, with an indescribable forbearance on his expression.

"...I want to talk to Ms. Eguchi about Mr. Furutani."

Eguchi was taken aback.

Avoid Mr. Zero and want to talk to her about Mr. Zero?

She thought for a while, then nodded under Kazami's nervous gaze.

"……come on."

Talking about things outside of work in the office is out of the question.Eguchi gave up the idea of ​​making coffee, went to the vending machine to press the coffee, and gave Kazami a can.

Contrary to Tong Yanchi's police officer, the old-fashioned Kazami took the coffee a little flattered.

The two picked an empty corridor, facing the open window.The cool wind blowing across the face in the early morning made people sober.

With a click, Eguchi opened the tin can.

"So, what is Kazami-kun trying to say?"

"...Maybe I shouldn't say this..." He took a breath, "Does Miss Eguchi know Mr. Furutani?"

Eguchi fell silent.

Does she know Zero-kun?

She knew the life of Jiang Gu Ling in other worlds, and she accompanied him through perhaps the most influential years in his life.

Does that count as getting to know him?

"No one can fully understand another person," Eguchi said, lips touching the cold rim of the jar, "but I was watching him all the time."

Kazemi was dumbfounded, and looked down at the coffee in his hand.

It was dark inside, bottomless, and bitter like his current mood.

He probably shouldn't have done it on impulse.Especially telling such things to the chief's lover.

But he couldn't keep silent.Especially after witnessing this incident and witnessing the madness of the injured Kusakabe.

Eguchi did not urge him, and gave him time for silence.

"...Miss Eguchi, have you seen the incident that Makoto Kusakabe was involved in?" Kazami said distressedly, "Last year, Makoto Kusakabe was a public security prosecutor, and his assistant, Ersanichi Haba, died during the interrogation by the police. middle."

"I have read it. Kusakabe Makoto has nothing to do with this case in the external documents, and his superiors picked him out of it. Only the internal documents of the public security indicate the true identity of Haba."

"Yes. The police do not know their assistants. In particular, the relationship between the police and the public prosecutor is not close... It was Furutani-san who ordered the arrest of Yuba, and I was the one who dispatched it. No one knew at the time Baba is Kusakabe's assistant."

Feng Jian squeezed the coffee tightly for a moment, the tin can creaked and his breathing became short of breath.

"Haba...he didn't confess his identity during the interrogation by Mr. Furutani, and was forced to commit suicide in the end."

A moment of silence spread between the two of them.

Eguchi took a sip of his coffee before turning to look at Kazami.

There was no anger in her eyes as Feng Jian imagined, or any other emotions that accused him.

She's just calm.Eguchi has always been calm.

Rei Furutani obviously didn't tell his subordinates that Yuba was still alive, and gave Yuba a completely new life, completely eliminating the old identity in the world.

However, his suspended animation did not expect to be the beginning of all kinds of darkness.

Eguchi thought of Miyano Shiho.With her help, Miyano Akemi faked her death without incident, but her sister, who didn't know about it, interrupted the organization's experiment to protest, and was almost forced to death by Qin Jiu.She also thought of those nights when Zhu Fu Jingguang and Jiang Gu Ling couldn't sleep.

She spoke slowly.

"Is Kazami-kun trying to condemn Zero-kun to me for doing something wrong?"

"Of course not! Mr. Jiang Gu is an excellent officer, no matter how difficult the task is, he can complete it, and he has always led us forward correctly!"

Kazami anxiously explained, his voice raised for a moment, then gradually weakened, pouring out his troubled heart.

"I am... I just can't understand. I never thought that Mr. Furuya would do such a thing... In this way, can it be called the justice of the public security? Miss Eguchi, as Mr. Furuya's lover, is right What does Mr. Jiang Gu think like this? This is my confusion... the police, can it be justified... to drive others to death?"

Eguchi shook his head.

"Zero-kun, he has always acted as a 'safeguarding the country's public security' before being 'Furuya Zero'. This is his belief. For this reason, except for the haba that Kazami-kun said, he is sneaking into Zero-kun also had a lot of lives in his hands during the organization. It’s not an exaggeration to be called a murderer.”

Kazami was stunned.

Eguchi looked out the window at the night scene.At five o'clock, the Tokyo Pillar Tower stands tall, and the streets are flickering with colorful neon lights.

"It is wrong to ask others to make little sacrifices for the sake of justice. But even if you think so, you still have to move forward for the sake of justice. Has Kazami-kun ever faced such a choice? Your gun is aimed at a man who thinks about the people Good congressman, but you have to kill him, so that you can win the trust of the organization, you can sneak deeper and darker, and you can achieve the task required to disintegrate the organization from the inside. Will you shoot? If not, the organization will Killing you, exhausting resources and mental energy to contact the organization will all be in vain, and many people will die in the future. Will you shoot?"

During Furutani Rei's time as Amuro Toru, Kazami had always been his assistant and connector, but this was the first time he had heard in detail about sneaking into the work... the darkness.

"I……"

"Rei-kun is a good police officer. He will pass on information, and sometimes fail the mission at the right time, save the people the police want to save, and preserve the justice of the police. But I am not." Eguchi smiled, making Kazami suddenly shudder , "My infiltration work is to contact a project and destroy that project, not to disintegrate that organization. So in order to improve my status as soon as possible, I killed many people."

The slight arcs at the corners of her mouth were quickly lowered, and her blue eyes were fixed on the speechless man in front of her.

"There is a motto inside Scepter4 - "Swords make swords, and our righteousness has no haze."What kind of justice does Kazami-kun understand?It is also intolerable for the public security to allow illegal operations in the eyes of others. Knives are allowed in Scepter4, just like the police carry guns, we will do whatever it takes to maintain order.There are countless ways to enforce justice itself. "

"Before thinking about whether the approach is correct, I think that Zero-kun will probably give priority to how to achieve the purpose of 'guarding'. And," Eguchi's eyes floated a faint smile, "Whether Zero-kun is in Kazami-kun's eyes How powerful, he is only a human after all. People will always make mistakes sometimes."

This was an answer Kazami hadn't thought of.

"...Mr. Jiang Gu, is he just an ordinary person..."

He murmured, his eyes gradually firmed up.

"—But, there is no one more suitable to follow than Mr. Jiang Gu."

Even if it is an illegal means, even if it is a mistake, even if it is too harsh, Jiang Guling is always with justice firmly, and he has sacrificed himself before sacrificing others, like the Big Dipper in the desert, illuminating the direction of progress .

This is his charisma and the reason why his subordinates are willing to follow him.

In this huge Tokyo and the huge land of Japan, some people choose to dig out the truth, some people choose to lie dormant in the dark, some people are brewing murderous intentions in the light, and some people can sacrifice themselves for the rise of dawn in the dark , to carry out the justice in my heart.

The sky is white, it is dawn, and a new day has begun.

After drinking that can of coffee, my mind is almost clear.Eguchi patted Kazami on the shoulder, with a deadpan face, and brought it up now with a bit of a naughty taste.

"By the way, Yuba is not dead, Mr. Zero helped him create a new identity."

Half a second later, after receiving the message, his hot head immediately cooled down, and Kazami's horrified screams filled the corridor of the police station.

"…………ha?!"
