Chapter 190 Yes but Not Necessary
Bourbon's expression finally became serious after these words. While driving the car on the highway, he said to Nobuhiro: "You know a lot."
Nobuhiro smiled indifferently: "Like that woman from Belmod, you always like to engage in mysticism, and you are not familiar with other members of the organization. At this juncture, can that gentleman specially transfer you from the United States to Japan? There are only a few tasks after thinking about them."
There are currently not many capable members in Japan. Gin was temporarily suspended due to Miyano Shiho's matter. Nobushige and Miyano Shiho participated in the first round of the task of confirming Kudo Shinichi's death and must avoid suspicion. Combined with Silla's words before, it was too easy for Nobuhiro to guess Bourbon's second mission.
Hearing this, Bourbon smiled lightly and did not refute: "First, Kudo Shinichi discovered the transaction and did not completely silence him. Later, he let go of the organization traitor Shirley. Gin may really fall into trouble this time. "
"Why do I see you so happy?"
"I don't know how many people in the organization are waiting to see Gin's jokes, and I'm just one of them." Bourbon suddenly changed the topic, "Is our mission goal today to silence them?"
Nobuhiro was noncommittal about Bourbon's previous sentence.
His body sank casually into the back of the seat, looking lazy and relaxed: "Masami Hirota, professor at Nanyang University, engaged in cognitive and neuroscience research. The information on that disk can be considered an expert in biopharmaceuticals. If Without the assistance of relevant research, he would not be able to understand it at all, let alone interlaced lines. He would most likely regard the things on the disk as students' experimental data, even if it is because it is stored by students and will not be discarded casually. I’m afraid it will just sit in the study and gather dust.”
"You mean not to kill the professor?"
"You can silence him, but it's not necessary. If you're afraid of not being safe, it doesn't matter if you shoot him before you leave. Someone will take care of the aftermath."
Not only that, Nobushige remembered that Professor Hirota would soon be killed by his former student in an accident disguised as a photo. The crime should have occurred at night, so he chose to go there during the day to destroy the disk. Even if something happens to Professor Hirota tonight, he still has a chance to stop it.
After hearing Nobuhiro's words, Bourbon sneered mockingly: "You are really indifferent. Whether or not to kill someone is only a matter of necessity in the eyes of you members of the action team, right?"
Nobushige glanced at him: "Don't talk as if your hands have never been stained with the blood of innocent people."
Bourbon did not squint, still looking calmly at the road ahead, as if Mezcal's voice was no different than nonsense. Just looking at Nobunaga from such a close distance, I still noticed that the light in Bourbon's eyes extinguished into ashes in an instant, and even the air became stagnant.
It was as if someone had briefly strangled his throat, and he could clearly feel the oppressive suffocation coming from his chest. Where Bourbon couldn't see, his palms were clenched tightly, and his nails dug crescent-shaped marks on his palms.
Nobuhiro rarely had the opportunity to be so upset that he had said the wrong thing. The atmosphere just now was too familiar, so familiar that he couldn't help but speak in the mezcal way.
This is not wrong in the first place. After all, if he himself does not assume the role, others will look more suspicious.
But bourbon is not just bourbon, and in Nobuhiro’s mind, mezcal is not just mezcal either.
"The scientists in the organization have been showing off the APTX they studied all day long, but I have never seen its power." Bourbon suddenly said, "But I think poisons are far less convenient than guns or daggers."
Nobuhiro opened the window and let the wind flow into the car, waking up his chaotic brain.
Then he said: "APTX-4869 is just a defective product. Its only effect may be that no traces can be detected on the corpse after taking it. What those scientists are really proud of are other things they discovered during the research process."
Bourbon glanced at Nobuhiro without any trace, and said casually: "You know APTX-4869 very well."
Nobuhiro clearly saw the purpose and plan of Ryoya Rei, but he did not mind revealing some information to his dedicated and diligent partner: "APTX's entire research team is making preliminary preparations for the organization's ultimate goal. There is no use in experimenting or knowing more.”
This is true. Nobuhiro has the complete version of the APTX-4869 research data here, and he has already copied the key parts to the Japanese police. It's just that the government cannot study this kind of thing with great fanfare, and the final results of several small-scale and intermittent research plans are not very good.
And as Nobutushige's lurking in the organization gradually deepened, he found that it would be useless even if the Japanese government understood the entire research of APTX. Because the APTX research team within the organization didn’t even understand what they were doing…
…
Bourbon parked the car in front of Professor Hirota's house, and the person who opened the door was his wife, a kind-faced and chubby lady.
"Who are you?" Hirota Toshiko asked doubtfully.
The combination of these two people was really too weird. The moment they met, she thought her husband had offended the underworld. However, the next second, both guys showed a smile as bright as spring breeze, which made her skin crawl.
"Ahem." Nobuhiro cleared his throat, "Is Professor Hirota at home? We are his students."
Hirota Toshiko looked at this and that, the suspicion in her eyes getting worse, but she still said politely: "My husband has classes today, and he may not be back until the afternoon."
Nobuhiro and Bourbon looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Then we'll come back in the afternoon."
After leaving Professor Hirota's house, Bourbon immediately moved to the back of the one-family house, preparing to climb over the wall and enter.
As a result, Shinfan stopped him: "What are you going to do?"
"The mission has been completed." Bourbon said innocently, "The disk should have been kept in Hirota Masami's study. We just need to go in, find it and then destroy it."
Nobushige said righteously: "No, that will make Hirota Masami aware of the loss of the disk. If he further wants to explore the cause, he might find the organization. And we don't know if Hirota Masami has anything other than the disk." Backup. It would be better if you could ask in person."
Bourbon always felt that Mescal had other purposes, but he couldn't tell anything from his words. On the contrary, he felt that it made sense. I had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Okay. But what are we going to do while we wait for him to come back?"
It would definitely be too late and pointless to go back to Tokyo. If you just work with the organization members but don't do tasks, you don't know what else to do.
