Chapter 288: The Wind is Truly Bewildering Tonight
Street Corner, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) waited for Chi Feichei to get in the Car, then immediately drove away from the spot.
"Gin, I've picked up Raki... Okay, Port Area rendezvous."
Chi Feichei listened to the Movement from the Bug, checked the Time, 1:37 AM. In a little over an Hour, Eguchi Noriko's lover would finish the meeting. Although it would take Time on the road, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't Call Home first and notice something was wrong, sending someone to Check. So, the Time had to be calculated from when the meeting ended. "Faster."
Maybe not even an Hour.
Although he had used a woman's voice to Say that Eguchi Noriko was going to tidy up, clean, and rest, Accidents could happen at any Time during that Period.
Their Time was limited.
"Bourbon is watching the Hotel where the meeting is being held over there. If the person comes out early, he will promptly pass on the News," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Said seriously, speeding up the Car, and joked, "Raki, you are now truly Raki Wine, full of Spices."
Chi Feichei opened a Crack in the Car Window. The Scent on his body was unpleasant now, a mixture of various Fragrances, even the Bloody Smell was Covered-up. However, facing this joke, he didn't know how to respond, and remained in Silence.
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) waited for a while without seeing a response, and then Said, "When we first met, was the person who greeted me with a smile your twin brother?"
Chi Feichei Glanced at Rena Mizunashi (Kir). He wasn't angry, just not used to strangers' jokes, since they weren't familiar with each other. "Kir, just focus on driving your Car."
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was coldly Glanced at, and felt a sweat in her heart, but didn't show it on her Face, and smiled calmly, "Okay, I didn't Say anything."
It seemed that like Gin, his Personality was bad, and his temper was not good either. He would use his Gaze to scare people at the slightest disagreement. The key point was, it was actually scary...
More than 40 minutes Afterwards, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) sped in her Car to Port Area. By the Time they arrived near the House Eguchi Noriko had bought, it had been almost an Hour.
Gin and Vodka also arrived shortly Afterwards.
Chi Feichei listened to the Movement from the Bug, got out of the Car and Said, "Probably in 10 minutes, someone will go to knock on Eguchi Noriko's Room Door."
"As quickly as possible!" Gin walked towards the Entrance, took out his Gun, and shot the Door Lock with one shot. Without stopping at all, he went straight into the House.
Chi Feichei also followed. Since Gin went straight in, he should have confirmed in advance that there was no one inside.
There was indeed no one inside, no Safety alarms or anything like that, and no Cash was found either...
However, with four people Searching the House, they would always find some abnormal Trace.
"Over here!" Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Said from a Room. After waiting for the other three people to come over, she knocked on the Wall.
The Sound was wrong!
Chi Feichei looked around at the furnishings in the House, Glanced at the unnatural wear marks on the Wall below the Light Switch on the Wall, and Reached Out to Turn on Light Switch.
"Raki?" Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was a little surprised.
Chi Feichei didn't explain, and continued to press the Switch down.
The Wall in front of Rena Mizunashi (Kir) rumbled open to both sides, revealing an Iron Gate with a Password.
"It's not much different from a Bank Vault." Vodka Said with emotion.
Chi Feichei crouched down to Look at the Keyhole, found two similar Keys from the Keys, tried them, and the first one was correct.
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) stared at the input keys on the Door, "There's still a 6-digit Password!"
Gin turned his Head to Look at Chi Feichei, "Did you Search during the Infiltration? Did you find anything?"
"On all the handwritten Information in her Home, there are 5 six-digit Numbers," Chi Feichei Said, "How many input opportunities are there?"
"No display," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Looked at it, "But for this kind of Door, it's usually 3 times."
"It's also possible that she didn't record the Password anywhere at all, but memorized it herself." Should we Call someone to send a Password decoder over?"
Vodka Said, "Let's Gamble Luck!"
Gin took out his Mobile Phone and Looked at the Time, "2:41 AM. Raki, what's the Situation over there?"
"The Corpse has not been discovered yet, but I Guess someone will go to knock on the Door again soon. No need to try randomly, based on Personality, Preference, and the Environment she might have been in when recording the Password..."
Chi Feichei listened to the Movement from the Bug while recalling Eguchi Noriko's Personality and Preference, imagining under what Circumstances Eguchi Noriko would write down the Password.
Since part of the Funds inside belonged to Yamaguchi-gumi, it wouldn't be Eguchi Noriko working here alone.
That Woman was good at reading people's expressions and intentions, and knew how to behave in a Group. To express Value, she wouldn't casually record the Password in a Magazine, and the Characters wouldn't be crooked or sloppy...
This Password was very important. To prevent it from being stolen, a smarter person wouldn't record it in something that represents 'Secret' like a Diary. Eguchi Noriko wasn't stupid, and could even be Said to be a shrewd Woman.
Excluding these, then...
It's the one written in the Poetry Collection!
"Kir, 492535."
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) quickly entered the six Numbers.
On the Door, the indicator Light jumped to green.
Gin directly turned the Door handle and walked in.
A space constructed of metal, with many Boxes placed on the Frameworks. Inside were all Cash, Japanese Yen, US Dollar, and Pound Sterling, these three types. In addition, there were some Gold Bar, and on the Framework to the right of the Entrance, there were also Guns and Bullets.
After moving the Money, Gin casually placed Explosives and drove away.
Having just acquired a batch of Explosives, everyone seemed to be using them very casually...
Nearby, at an Abandoned Wharf, two Cars stopped one after the other.
"Raki, the Water you wanted!" Vodka got out of the Car, handed the Mineral Water he had bought on the way to Chi Feichei, lit a Cigarette, and completely relaxed.
Gin Looked at the Time on his Mobile Phone, "2:51 AM."
"Everything is normal at the Villa, and no one has discovered the Corpse yet." Chi Feichei took off the Earphone connected to the Bug, threw it into the Sea, and then took out the Remote Control to detonate the Bomb placed in the Villa.
The explosion was enough to blow the Kitchen and Eguchi Noriko's Room beyond recognition, and the Bug would naturally be destroyed in the explosion as well.
Gin also detonated the Bomb placed at the Cash storage Location, completely eliminating the Trace of the group's Activity, used the Cigarette Lighter in the Car to light a Cigarette, and got out of the Car to enjoy the Wind.
This Action was over, and everyone could rest for two Days. Gin would at most confirm the follow-up, Check the Yamaguchi-gumi's Reaction, and Check if any Flaws were left.
The Atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Chi Feichei didn't light a Cigarette. The black Cigarette body of Cigareonne was too conspicuous. Although he wasn't the only one who smoked it, not many people in Japan smoked it. He didn't want Rena Mizunashi (Kir) to lock down his Identity because of this.
He unscrewed the Lid of the Mineral Water Bottle, took a small bottle, and added a little Snake Shedding Powder to the Water.
Hassashi's Snakeskin was tested to contain Amino Acid, Acidic Protein and other components, as well as some Trace Elements like Calcium, Potassium, and Sodium. No Toxin was found.
Overall, it could reduce inflammation and swelling, and improve vision. Drinking it in Water probably couldn't cure any Illness. Chi Feichei just treated it as a health product to supplement Energy and Trace Elements, temporarily replacing goji berries.
Staying up late, you need to pay attention to preventing hair loss...
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) noticed Chi Feichei adding Things to the bottle, and was a little curious, but thinking of Chi Feichei's cold Gaze before, she still didn't ask any further, and turned to Look at Gin, "Gin, can the Things be delivered here?"
"Yes," Gin Said, biting his Cigarette, and looking down to send an Email on his Mobile Phone, "I will contact someone to send it to a Safety Place."
Chi Feichei took two sips of Water, screwed the Lid of the Mineral Water Bottle tightly, threw it into the Car, enjoyed the Night Wind, and Looked at the dark and dim Sea.
Suddenly, intense pain like burning fire came from his Eyes.
Gin noticed the Abnormality immediately, and his Line of Sight immediately shifted from his Mobile Phone to Chi Feichei, "What's wrong?"
Chi Feichei lowered his Head, covered his Eyes with his right Hand, and remained Silent.
That kind of pain seemed to travel along his Nerves, all the way to his Brain. Most importantly...
Eyes!
Some people think that what blind people see is a piece of Darkness, but that's not actually the case.
If you want to experience the Feeling of a blind person, you can open one Eye and close the other. The Feeling of the closed Eye is the World of a blind person.
That Feeling is like having one less Window where the Eyes are on your Face. There's not even Darkness, only a void.
Now his Eyes were like this.
"Master?"
Hassashi's Voice gradually became blurred in his ears.
Chi Feichei quickly calmed down and analyzed the Situation.
Regardless of whether he would go blind or not, it was too early to Consider the Consequences now. He had to first Consider the Reason for all of this, and see if he could forcibly salvage it.
The Problem should be with Hassashi's Snakeskin.
Clearly no Toxin was detected, and even if there was Toxin, judging from his test results, the Antibody in his body was enough to immunize against most biological Toxins. Even because his Antibody was strong, he could also be immune to some Artificial Synthesis Toxins.
Then, was it because he drank Liquor tonight, which triggered the Synthesis or enhancement of some kind of Toxin?
Or was it because of his 'Child of Nature' useless Cheat Code?
The former would be better. He carried an Antidote developed from his own Antibody Research with him. Strengthening his own Antibody was never wrong. But if it was the latter, then he really didn't know how to solve it.
In summary, there was no Method to solve it now. He could start to Consider the Consequences, regret it, and summarize the experience.
Yeah, Things really can't be eaten randomly...
The next second, the pain in Chi Feichei's Eyes and Brain all disappeared. The sudden drop made people feel that the pain just now was just an illusion.
And in front of Chi Feichei's Eyes...
No, it should be in his Brain, a World composed of various color blocks appeared.
The three people around him, interspersed with red and orange, the dark blue Cement ground, the slightly lighter blue Sea, the orange engine of the Car...
Thermal Imaging?
"Raki!" Gin Reached Out and pressed Chi Feichei's Shoulder, his Gaze becoming even sharper and colder due to his seriousness.
Chi Feichei opened his Eyes, Looked at Gin, and the World returned to normal.
Gin put down his Hand, stared at the European Face with blond hair and blue Eyes opposite him, looked him up and down, and couldn't see any Problem from that still calm Face, "Eyes have a Problem?"
"No, just a bit of a headache," Chi Feichei closed his Eyes for a moment, and found that after closing his Eyes, Thermal Imaging appeared in his Brain again. He opened his Eyes, and casually found a Reason, "I added Venom to the Water as a nutritional supplement."
Gin: "..."
Vodka: "..."
Rena Mizunashi (Kir): "..."
Excuse me, when you see someone calmly Say 'I'm fine, I just accidentally poisoned myself', what Expression should you use to respond?
The key point is, this is a Core Member of the Organization, a Core Member who is excellent enough in Brain, Infiltration Assassination, and Sniping. And he almost poisoned himself to death?
The Wind is truly bewildering tonight...
Gin turned around to Look at the Sea, took a hard puff of his Cigarette, threw the Cigarette that had burned to the End into the Sea, and remained in Silence.
Chi Feichei Glanced at the Cigarette Butt floating on the Seawater, and remained in Silence.
Polluting the Environment isn't very good, is it...
Vodka and Rena Mizunashi (Kir) also remained in Silence, a little unsure of what to Say.
Gin turned around, stared at Chi Feichei and asked, "Who was it who Said before, 'Don't worry, I'm very clear-headed, I won't Joke with my Life'?"
"Not a Joke, a Mistake," Chi Feichei calmly corrected.
It seemed that not only could Things not be eaten randomly, but bad habits couldn't be learned randomly either. For Example, learning from Mori Kogoro to set flags, getting slapped in the Face didn't even need to wait until the next Day...
Gin lowered his Head and relit a Cigarette.
He finally Understood that 'clear-headed' was not the Standard for Raki to measure whether his Actions were normal.
Now seeing that calm Face, his chest would hurt, he would feel stuffy, and his Breath would be unsmooth... It was better not to Look!
Vodka spoke up and asked, "Raki, are you alright now?"
"I'm fine," Chi Feichei responded coldly.
Vodka: "..."
Could he give some Reaction?
For Example, express some fear afterwards. If not fear, at least some annoyance...
This really makes it impossible to continue chatting!
Fortunately, Gin's Emotion had eased up. He looked down and sent an Email, turned around and got into the Car, "No need for others to send Cash over. Raki, let's go there ourselves."
"Okay."
When Chi Feichei turned around to get into the Car, he closed his Eyes for a moment.
Thermal Imaging disappeared.
It seemed that it had a Statute of Limitations. It was uncertain whether the Statute of Limitations was determined by the amount of Snakeskin ingested, and it was also uncertain whether taking it again would cause pain...
Vodka and Rena Mizunashi (Kir) saw that both of them were acting as if nothing had happened, and continued to remain in Silence.
The two Cars left Port Area again.
Chi Feichei drove Rena Mizunashi (Kir), Gin drove Vodka. Afterwards, they met again in Shibuya District, delivered the Cash to Egota, and put it in the Basement of an uninhabited House.
