Chapter 14: Akai Mutake
On the second floor of the café in 9-chome 26 Banji, Kakutocho, a middle-aged man in a gray suit waved his hand to the greeting service provider and walked towards the stairs on the second floor.
Stepping on the wooden stairs and facing up, I soon saw the white-haired young man by the window, and when I noticed his appearance, my eyes showed a little surprise, but I still stabilized my emotions and stepped forward.
Ritsu Sasashima, who was sitting in his seat, looked away when he heard the sound, but raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the appearance of the person who came, obviously he didn't expect him to come here, and thought it would be Mr. Andrew, who was in charge of delivering the message.
"I didn't expect you, sir, would you like to come out from behind the screen to meet someone?" Ritsu Sasashima smiled and pushed the black tea in front of him, and said suddenly: "This is the black tea ordered for you, it is already the best in the store, don't dislike it." ”
He has short silver-gray hair, a very thick beard, and obvious burn marks on his right eye, and it is not difficult to see from the eyes he wears that his right eye should have been injured to the point that it needs to be covered with black sunglasses, which also makes the already terrifying face even more mysterious.
Kuroda Guard, the name Ritsu Sasashima is not unfamiliar, after Matsumoto Kiyoshi was promoted, he served as the management officer of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Department Investigation Division, which can be regarded as his boss, but the two have never met.
But it was obvious that the person in front of him was not the real Kuroda Guard, and he was good at disguise, so he could naturally see through some inferior camouflage methods, and the reason why he shaped himself like this was that he hoped that no one would stare at his face for a long time.
"I didn't expect you to come to me in the form of Ogier." Kuroda Beibei sat down on the opposite side, took a sip of the black teacup in front of him, narrowed his eyes meaningfully, and said, "What?" Are you suggesting to me that your position has changed? ”
"Didn't I think Mr. Kuroda still has a penchant for buttoning people's hats? I just don't think there are any identities that need to be played. Ritsu Sasashima leaned back very steadily, crossed Jiro's legs and asked with interest, "I've come to see you in your true form, Mr. Kuroda doesn't seem to be sincere, does he still not trust me who was removed from the National Police Agency?" ”
Kuroda Beibei knew that his camouflage would be seen through, so he hurriedly put down the black teacup, folded his hands in front of his chest and said, "I'm just curious about where you stand now, are you considered Ogier now?" Or - you're still Ritsu Sasashima. ”
Ritsu Sasashima's face couldn't help but become ugly when he heard this, he felt that the person in front of him was a little too hypocritical, obviously he didn't trust himself, otherwise he wouldn't have asked like this. And he didn't like to work with someone he didn't trust, so he didn't plan to waste time on Kuroda Guard, and just got up and prepared to leave.
But I didn't expect that this person suddenly became his familiar voice, and gradually overlapped with the voice in his memory-
"Xiaolu, you really haven't changed."
Such an intimate name is only the Akai Marie family, Sasashima Ritsu's eyes widened slightly, thinking of Akai Wuwu, whose whereabouts are unknown, and why he deliberately chose to meet him back then, and his favorite drink was black tea.
He turned around to carefully observe Kuroda Bei's appearance, and the change in appearance was indeed very different after the disguise, but his height did not change, and even his dominant hand was still right-handed.
"Akai ...... Wuwu? ”
"You used to like to call me Uncle Wuwu, but now you are so unfamiliar that you can call me by your full name?"
Akai Wuwu did not choose to hide his identity, but calmly faced Ritsu Sasashima, who had been treated as his own son, thinking of all the things that had happened over the years, he sighed deeply and said three words: "I'm sorry." ”
He did owe Ritsu Sasashima a "sorry", because he was the one who sent him into the organization with his own hands back then.
Akai admitted that he was selfish, he knew the identity background of Ritsu Sasashima, and naturally understood that he was talented in pharmaceuticals. In the same way, he also knew that the so-called gentleman was Karasuma Renya, and even knew that Karasuma Renya had already been aware of the existence of Sasashima Ritsu, but there was no other way, the most suitable person to become an undercover agent, the person who would be cared for by Karasuma Renya - it could only be Koritsu.
In order to destroy the organization, he had to send Ritsu Sasashima in, but he didn't count Rum, and he didn't expect that in addition to APTX4869, there would be a human experiment of a morally degraded berserk potion.
So Akai Wuwu has always felt guilty, and he was confused for a while after learning of Sasaishima Ritsu's death, but fortunately, the appearance of Ghost Ze Chong made him quickly react that Xiao Ritsu may not be dead, and after a series of investigations, he also confirmed his thoughts.
But this "I'm sorry" still has to be said.
Ritsu Sasashima was a little uncomfortable after hearing the apology, he didn't want Akai Wuwu's apology, because he couldn't represent the National Police Agency, otherwise he wouldn't have been removed directly two years ago.
He sat back in his seat, took out the plan he had just written from his pocket and handed it to Akai Wuwu, and said in a deep voice: "I hope that Uncle Wuwu can pass my fang, and there is no need to apologize, if it wasn't for you back then, I'm afraid I would have been taken away by the organization a long time ago." ”
Akai Wuwu picked up the plan and looked at it, but the more he saw the back, the more incredulous he became, he frowned and looked at Ritsu Sasashima, and said with a serious expression: "I don't agree with you doing this, after doing this, you will no longer be able to live as Ritsu Sasashima." Xiaolu, you don't need to do this. ”
"I did this for a purpose, and I made a deal with my current husband, so this proposal is the best way to go." Ritsu Sasashima took a sip of his coffee cup steadily, and then smiled: "Uncle Wuwu, there is really no need for this better fang. ”
Akai Wuwu silently put down the plan in his hand, and after thinking for a long time, he could only sigh and say in a deep voice: "Okay, I will follow the first step of your plan to announce the death of Ghost Ze Chong." ”
"Then it's for you to arrange it, just keep a low profile for the funeral or something, after all, it's an empty tombstone without a body, so it's buried next door to the 'Sasashima Ritsu Tomb'."
"Are you sure you want me to announce it directly? Don't need to go to the road? ”
Ritsu Sasashima stood up and waved his hand, turned his back to deliberately not expose his emotions to others, and said in a leisurely tone: "I don't like to say goodbye to people very much, I have planned parting since the birth of Onizawa Chong, so - please Uncle Wuwu, I have other things to do, so I will leave first." ”
Akai looked at the back of Ritsu Sasashima leaving, he clenched his fists and retracted his gaze into the plan in his hand, this is indeed the best plan, but it is also the most unfair plan for Ritsu Sasashima.
He even had a ridiculous thought in his mind that if only the organization had never existed, their lives should not be like this.
