Chapter 154 Returning Still a Young Man

The airport at night is so hazy and trance-like under the dim lights.

Nobushige lit a cigarette with a cigarette lighter and held it in his hand, letting the white smoke rise in the small space, making his disguised face even more unreal.

Passengers coming and going at the exit often look tired, but when they see friends and relatives picking them up at the station, no matter how hard they work, they will smile happily.

Among these people, Rei Fangtani's signature light blond hair stands out against all the black.

It's just that he was wearing a dark gray short casual top, nine-point jeans, and a fully loaded backpack. There was no highlight in either his clothing or his overall temperament.

Jianggu Ling was certainly not ordinary, but under his deliberate concealment, his originally proud aura had dimmed a lot. After blending into the crowd, he appears very low-key and inconspicuous.

In the crowd, can you notice him being ordinary?

At least at this moment, Zhu Fu Jingguang was the only one who saw Jianggu Ling as complete and real.

Nobushige reached out and turned on the double flashlights and lowered half of the windows.

Jiang Guling raised his head slightly and looked towards him. His eyes suddenly became sharp in an instant, revealing a sharp coldness.

This momentum belongs to bourbon.

Nobuhiro sighed in his heart at the speed of Shitaya Rei putting on the mask, and at the same time, he also suppressed the emotion that shouldn't be in his eyes:

"Bourbon."

Rei Fukutani opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, and smiled at Nobutani: "Mezcal."

This call made Xinfan slightly stunned.

He and Zero hadn't seen each other for a long time, so long that he almost forgot the voice. However, even if they meet again after a long absence, he is no longer the Zhu Fu Jingguang he was back then. Even the sound coming from this devastated body was no longer familiar to Jiang Gu Ling.

And Zero... is not the same as he was four years ago.

His eyes, which were always as bright as torches, were swallowed up by the endless darkness at some point and were dyed gray. Although the corners of his mouth were raised, there was a sense of loneliness without hesitation.

Jianggu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and called out in a cold voice: "Mescal?"

Xinfan came back to his senses, silently suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and asked him as calmly as possible: "Where are you going?"

Rei Fukutani glanced at him meaningfully, but didn't ask any more questions: "I've booked a house at the Fujita Hotel in the 32nd section of the 5th chome of Yoneka Town."

Fujita Inn?

Nobushige passes that place every day when he goes to work. Of course he knows how close Fujita Hotel is to Ritsufeng's music classroom and Mori Detective Agency.

Could it be that Bourbon wants to contact Mouri Kogoro so early?

Speaking of which——

"Aren't you in the United States? Why did you suddenly return to Japan?" Nobushige drove the Maserati away from the airport and headed towards Miwa Town.

Even though the car was driving at a high speed, Furiya Rei still opened the car window arrogantly, letting the strong wind blow his fine blond hair into a mess.

Hearing Nobushige's question, he still looked out the window and said, "Of course I received a mission that I had to come to Japan to perform. Speaking of which..."

Rei Fukiya paused for a moment before saying: "If I am not helping someone compile a summary, I will not let that person remember that my mission in the United States is basically over."

As he spoke, he glanced at Nobuhiro indifferently. However, Nobuhiro found some complaints and depression in his eyes that he had concealed very well.

It seems that the review really gave Jiang Guling a headache.

Nobuhiro shrugged and expressed that he was helpless: "I don't know what task Gin took. Now I have several important intelligence lines in Japan, and he asked me to cooperate with you."

"Gin..." Fangtani Rei held his elbows and gently rubbed his chin with his index finger, "I'm afraid he's too busy now."

Xinfan raised his eyebrows: "Does he still have some free time?"

"Of course, after all, I heard that the traitor Shirley, who the organization was supposed to eradicate, escaped from his hands." Rei Fukiya had a sarcastic smile on his lips, "One of my missions in Japan this time is to investigate he."

Nobuhiro was actually a little surprised by this. It's okay if the mission failed and Gin went through the procedure to be investigated, but it's a bit strange that the gentleman specially blended American bourbon and came back.

So he quickly noticed another important information in Fang Gu Rei's words: "One of the missions?"

"Yes." Fang Guling's smile deepened, "Another mission is to investigate you, Mescal."

"Oh, is that so?"

"You know, right? You acted with Tequila, and not only did you fail to complete the mission, but he died unexpectedly. The nature of this matter is similar to that of Gin. The one who asked me to investigate Gin also investigated you. Have you had any strange intentions?"

Of course Nobushige knows, so he has been without tasks in the past few days, basically putting down all the organizational matters in his hands.

but:

"The investigation is over, otherwise I wouldn't be the one who came to pick you up today." Nobuhiro said that he didn't believe Bourbon's lies at all. "If it's not convenient for you to talk about the second mission, then shut up. Just make it up in front of me. I’m afraid it’s not a sensible move.”

"Okay." Fangtani Rei obediently shut his mouth, closing his eyes and resting against the car window.

Xinfan glanced at him quietly without any trace, and then quickly looked away.

He relaxed a little in his heart.

In fact, seeing Zero again after four years, and contacting him with a new identity that might be disgusted, made Nobuhiro a little nervous from the moment he parked at the airport to wait for him tonight.

He didn't understand where his tension came from, and he didn't know how to resolve it.

Fortunately, his many years of undercover life have allowed him to manage his expressions much better than ordinary people. He can force himself to stay calm and force himself to speak to Bourbon as mezcal.

He is very successful.

Bourbon did not suspect that Mescal was someone he had known before, nor did Fangtani Rei feel a familiar aura on him.

This is good, really good, and good for everyone.

In fact, Nobuhiro had never considered telling Rei Fukiya the truth before. He wanted to find him and say personally, "I am Zhu Fu Jingguang, and I am still alive." He wanted to face everything in the future with his only close friend.

However, all this turned into a bubble after he became Mescal and when he came into contact with the core of the organization.

He finally realized why Taku Itakura said that giving up the software was for the sake of all mankind. He finally understood Belmod's words, "We are gods and devils, because we want to go against the flow of time and revive the dead." .

He understood a lot, so he had to remain silent.

Not letting Fangtani Rei know this is not only to protect him, but also to protect Nobunaga himself.
