Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 71 On Universal Reason
Nan Ling took a deep breath.
"Don't worry." Nan Ling felt the muzzle of the gun that Gin had pointed at the back of his neck move to the back of his head. Maybe this was a more convenient place for him to put it? His thoughts wandered aimlessly, "You are an important asset of the organization."
Gin paused and repeated the words .
"It's important property, 077, so I won't kill you. You could just tell the truth."
"You're not even going to call me by my code name?" Nan Ling chuckled. "There's no need to be so heartless, right?"
"I think the word you want to use is probably 'arbitrary'. My judgment is not affected by emotions." Gin said indifferently.
"But you may not believe it," Nan Ling ignored him and shrugged his shoulders, "This is just a coincidence. I just happened to want to go to Kyoto, is that not okay?"
He couldn't see Gin's face, but that didn't stop him from guessing Gin's mood.
It must be the feeling of wanting to beat him to death but not being able to. It must be so frustrating.
From the perspective of universal reason, there is no logical problem with his statement.
If it was an ordinary member who dared to confront Gin like this, he would have been shot to death by him.
But on the one hand, he is an experimental subject and Gin cannot kill him.
On the other hand, putting aside this identity, he is also a very important member of the organization, very capable, and his status is almost second only to Gin himself.
He couldn't just touch him without sufficient evidence.
So... Gin, just take your time to be upset.
Anyway, as long as he is unhappy, Nan Ling will be happy.
hapiness.
I told you not to scare me just now.
Gin was rarely silent for a moment.
Just as Nan Ling expected, there was nothing he could do to him because of this.
He just suddenly wanted to go to Kyoto and just happened to meet Bourbon. He couldn't doubt a formal member just because of such a groundless rumor.
Especially Chat.
It would be easy to change someone else...but Chat's previous resume was excellent, and except for being lazy sometimes, there was almost no fault to be found.
On the other hand, it is also a fact that Bourbon's mission failed, and the most suspicious person... is still Chat.
Gin frowned.
Nan Ling has now basically put his mind at ease and began to happily look through Bourbon's investigation report in his hand.
Although he had roughly guessed something, he still felt a little surprised when he came across the autopsy report on Yamada Ichiji and the other dead people.
No, it was quite unexpected.
"There were five knife wounds on his body. The fatal wound was the one to his liver, which caused heavy bleeding..."
"...a total of 18 stab wounds, no obvious fatal wounds, cause of death was excessive blood loss..."
"…The fatal wound was a wound to the heart…"
Nan Ling read slowly, his fingertips following each word.
He clearly killed those people with poison...
That kind of neurotoxin that leaves no trace and takes effect very quickly does make it easy for people to associate it with him.
Plus, I happened to be in Kyoto at that time.
Nan Ling slowly raised his head and looked with complicated eyes at Amuro Toru who was standing beside him silently.
But he didn't look at Nan Ling again.
"You know my habits, Gin." Nan Ling stared at Amuro Toru without blinking, but was talking to Gin, "It won't be so difficult for me to kill people."
"Eighteen knife wounds? But not a single one was fatal? Look at his wounds again." Nan Ling questioned expressionlessly, "Even if I were to interrogate him, I wouldn't use such a crude method."
Gin stared at the report with a frown.
Indeed, the way those people died was completely different from Chat's habits.
This is the best proof of Chat's innocence.
He also suspected that Chat pretended to be unskilled and stabbed a few times randomly.
But it's different.
He had seen, more than once, Chat stabbing someone with his silver scalpel.
Always simple and direct, as precise and elegant as surgery...that habit cannot be erased by the word "pretend".
He had also seen the photos of the body that Bourbon had taken, and the wounds were not something Chat could have caused.
The biggest question about Chat in the whole thing is actually why he happened to appear in Kyoto at that time.
but……
Could it really be a coincidence?
Gin thought for a long time.
"…If you insist, Chat," he said at last, "you will be responsible for investigating the consequences of this matter."
call……
Only then did Nan Ling breathe a sigh of relief.
I have passed this level today.
Since Gin is willing to leave this matter to him, it means that he has basically dispelled his doubts about him.
All I had to do was pretend to investigate and come up with a somewhat reliable conclusion, such as a feud between gangs.
Gin would say this now...haha, he must feel that he is embarrassed.
Do you think I'll give you a way out like this?
Oh, that’s wishful thinking.
Nan Ling looked unwilling: "So you still want me to prove my innocence? You know I'm not good at intelligence investigation."
"You can choose to prove your innocence, or I will cripple your limbs now and take you back." Gin replied coldly.
"Don't do that." Nan Ling stretched out his voice and spread his hands casually. "I'll check it, isn't it okay for me to check it? Are you satisfied?"
His slightly sarcastic tone obviously made Gin very unhappy.
"Three days, Chat, three days." Gin turned his head and looked at him before leaving, his green eyes full of warning.
Nan Ling was a little impatient.
OK, OK, it's just three days? Why stress it so much? Isn't it just to remind him of his first mission? Isn't it just to remind him that he is always under the control of the organization?
What a psychopath and control freak.
Nan Ling had a little Gin figure stabbed in his heart.
When the Porsche 356A disappeared from Nan Ling's sight, he turned to look at Toru Amuro, who had not spoken a word tonight.
"Should I thank you... Bourbon?" It was difficult for Nan Ling to describe his feelings when he pronounced this name.
Let's say thank you to him, he is the culprit that caused Nan Ling to fall into this situation tonight.
But if you say you hate him, he helped forge the investigation report and even helped him deal with the hidden dangers of the Shinkansen.
"At least I have a clear conscience." Amuro Toru's tone was calm without a trace of emotion.
[Transaction failed...Initial suspect: Chat.
...I will continue to investigate. - Bourbon]
This was the content of the email he sent to the gentleman that night.
He finally decided to pin the blame on Chat, even though he knew that without him he would have died that night.
The creed he has always followed is to protect the interests of the country as the top priority.
As for the means used, does it matter?
Not to mention that Chat is a member of the Black Organization, even if he is the FBI, he has a clear conscience in framing Toru Amuro.
...He should have a clear conscience.
Until he started investigating Chat's route from Tokyo to Kyoto.
At first he didn't realize who Chat was disguised as to take the Shinkansen.
But later, when he mobilized the public security intelligence network, he finally discovered something was wrong.
There was a passenger named "Bai Zeliang" whose information was very strange.
Toru Amuro took some time to check and found out that this person's previous resume was blank in reality.
No one at what should have been this person's alma mater had ever heard of him, and no one at what should have been his workplace recognized his face.
If it were just that, it would be fine. But when Amuro Toru looked up Bai Ze Liang's parents, he found that there was no such person.
He was basically certain at that time that this person was Chat's pseudonym.
But the strange thing was, based on the information he knew, the train Chat was on was the one that was truly wrong.
