01/04, Shui Yao Day.

Another year passed, and Ritsu Sasashima ushered in his 598th day in the organization.

Time flies really fast, I didn't expect to have a second birthday in the organization. However, unlike the first one, this birthday was spent at the institute, because the two model workers, Gin and Vodka, rushed overseas on Chinese New Year's Eve to carry out their mission.

Holding the fried chicken bento box that he bought at a convenience store, Ritsu Sasashima sat in his car and enjoyed it, and he didn't know when he had more and more consumption records at convenience stores... There is a suspicion that they are close like gin.

He didn't want to be a model worker at all.

Hastily solved the problem of food and clothing, today's Sasashima Ritsu did not receive the task of the action group, but received instructions from the National Police Agency - because he provided a lot of information about the organization during the period of infiltration in the organization, he has been exceptionally promoted to the police station and established the [Shadow] team.

Looking at the time displayed on the watch, there was still half an hour before the agreed thirteen o'clock, which was enough to reach the AEON shopping supermarket in Ikebukuro a few kilometers away.

After putting the finished lunch box into a plastic bag and dropping it in the passenger seat, Ritsu Sasashima drove her car to the underground garage of the Ikebukuro AEON shopping mall, and after making sure that she didn't have any listening devices and transmitters on her body, she put on a black cap and wrapped herself in a long black trench coat, and cautiously went to the second floor of the shopping mall.

[There are still two days to successfully go undercover for 600 days, which is a surprise gift for you in advance.] ]

Thinking of the words at the end of the email, Ritsu Sasashima didn't understand the meaning of this, for himself, the surprise gift was probably to be able to leave the organization. And after learning from Hagiwara that Shibuya had also disappeared, he asked the National Police Agency about whether Shibuya had infiltrated the organization, but he ignored it.

this

makes Sashima Ritsu very puzzled, and what's even more curious is-

It is true that he has not encountered a valley zero in the organization, so the possibility of him joining the action group or the scientific research group is ruled out. And according to the ability to drop the valley, if he enters the organization, he will definitely get a code name within a year, and from time to time he will use the organization's internal computer to check the newly obtained code people, and the answer is that the only person who has obtained a code name within this year is his colleague Miyano Shiho.

At the end of last year, Shiho Miyano successfully obtained the code name "Sherry", which is sherry.

So where exactly will the valley zero be? Could it be that he was secretly cultivated by the National Police Agency and waited until the right time to enter the organization?

Just as Ritsu Sasashima was thinking, he had already unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the supermarket.

He put away his thoughts, at this stage, it is better not to think about this, it is better to communicate with his helper first and exchange the information he has recently obtained... And it is necessary to set a reasonable set of connector codes.

Instead of going directly to the second floor, he wandered around the first floor for a while, and when the time was almost on the hour, Ritsu Sasashima took the escalator to the area on the second floor of the supermarket.

With two bottles of Calpis in his hand, Ritsu Sasashima stood in the area of brewing food, and took Sasasima's chocolate-flavored cereal from the mail, when he saw the man standing on the opposite side of the shelf selecting the goods.

It was indeed a surprise, and even made Ritsu Sasashima a little unexpected.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was smiling and pushing the shopping cart to select food, disappeared in an instant when he saw the person standing opposite, and he looked a little stunned, he probably didn't expect the person he needed help... It will be Ritsu Sasashima.

“……”

The first to react was Ritsu Sasashima, whose slender fingers tapped the chocolate cereal in his arms at a rapid pace, his eyes falling on the other things that needed to be purchased, conveying a message.

Morse code, their favorite little code.

After reacting to this, Zhu Fu Jingguang pushed the shopping cart and left, he had already answered the message that Sashima wanted to convey, and tried to restrain the corners of his mouth from rising towards the cold area.

Symbolically buying something and returning to the parking lot to sit in the driver's seat, Ritsu Sasashima drove to the open-air parking lot near the Kabido Chuo Bridge and walked to the nearby lakeside.

He sat on it with his hands on the railing, much easier than when he was fourteen, and the long legs, which had nowhere to be placed, could only curl up without touching the ground.

He tilted his head and looked at the calm lake, which had changed and become more prosperous.

Ritsu Sasashima didn't expect that Jufu Jingguang would go to the police department, but he chose to go undercover in the organization himself in exchange for him staying away from the organization, why did this guy still come to touch it? Is it an arrangement of fate, some things can't be avoided, and they will be carried out in other ways.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was carrying a plastic bag in his hand, and it was still the same thing as back then, beer and shredded squid. But unlike back then, he did not rush down the stairs, but slowly approached him step by step.

"Beard."

Zhu Fu Jingguang's footsteps paused, reached out and touched the mustache on his chin, and asked with a smile: "Is it quite suitable for accidents?" ”

"Well, it looks a lot more mature and stable."

There was a lot to talk to him, but time didn't allow it, and meeting was risky.

Ritsu Sasashima took out the envelope he had prepared a long time ago and handed it to Jingguang, and said, "To make a long story short, there is a code for the joint written on it, remember to burn it after remembering it, and be sure not to tell anyone." ”

"Well, I understand."

"The most recent addition to the code name is Shiho Miyano of the research group, codenamed Sherry, and the recent progress of drug research has progressed to the stage of molecular modeling. There was also a serial murder case in Mie Prefecture in mid-November last year, which was carried out by Glenfiddich, a code-name member of the organization, and the three men who were executed were all members of the organization's ranks. ”

"Do you know what caused the execution by the Order?"

"At the beginning of the month, there was a bank robbery that was committed by the three of them, and the organization did not arrange for them to carry out such a mission, and one of them was treated as a traitor by the organization because of his unauthorized actions."

Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded, he glanced at Sasasama's left hand, the index finger under the black leather glove was slightly raised, and he could tell that he was wearing the ring properly.

"Is there anything else going on?"

"No, it's almost time for me to go back to the institute."

The longer the contact, the greater the risk, and Ritsu Sasashima walked in the direction of the parking lot, and as before, they were still going in the opposite direction.

"Aru..."

After a pause, Ritsu Sasashima pursed her lips vigorously and said with a wry smile: "Toru Nanase, it's my current name." ”

"No matter what, it's going to be safe, okay?"

There was no answer because it was difficult to guarantee.

Ritsu Sasashima turned to look at Jingguang, who was standing there with a worried face, and struck his left chest twice with a fist in his right hand, telling him with such a move... You'll be fine.

Instead of continuing to look at his distant back, Zhu Fu Jingguang walked towards the railing, learning his posture and sitting on the railing, the railing was a little cold in winter. But the piece he touched still had a glove to cover the residual warmth.

Alu... You and Zero are going to be fine, and I'll do my best to help you.
