Chapter 43(1/2)
Toru Amuro suddenly realized that he could not see through Furukawa Kumisa - this was not an ordinary thing for him, who was always known for his observation and insight.
Before they boarded this flight, he had always felt that Furukawa Kumisa was a very qualified member of the organization.
Alert and cold, he is a cold-blooded poisonous snake covered in beautiful skin. He is good at waiting for opportunities. He seems lazy and slow on weekdays, but once he takes action, he will kill him with one blow.
But all this seemed to be overturned from the moment they sat in the cockpit.
She was ten thousand meters high in the sky, looking at the sea of clouds in front of her, and told him openly and honestly that she was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. She rebuked him righteously, saying that she was carrying the weight of life so sacredly.
——He suspected at that moment that he had seen her wrong.
But what really made Toru Amuro's heart tremble were the two words he heard her say when they made an emergency landing only a few hundred meters away from the water.
"I want to live a normal life."
——She rejects everything she is doing now. She hopes to get rid of the status quo and be free to be herself.
Maybe this is what she is saying... She is no longer willing to sink into the darkness and involuntarily take human lives, but she can walk in the sunshine openly and live an ordinary life.
Even at the very end, in what she thought was the last second of her life, after she listened to the lifelong troubled heart of a stranger she had never met, she was willing to do her best at that last moment as a stranger.
With my own meager efforts, I can help him resolve the knot in his heart.
"I forgive you."
She couldn't possibly be the person in Kudo Shinichi's memory, but she was willing to spend the last second of her life to help this unknown boy escape.
This almost overturned all his previous understanding of "Furukawa Kumisa".
But now that she woke up in the hospital, the first thing she said was to cover up Kudo Shinichi's identity.
——If Toru Amuro hadn't been convinced that Furukawa Kumisa would never have known Kudou Shinichi, he would have almost thought that they had had such a thrilling past.
But they didn't.
In the cabin, she righteously considered the nearly two hundred lives behind her.
At the last moment of her life, she tenderly helped a young man she had never met.
In front of the escape ladder, she was willing to use her last consciousness to persuade the steward who was already determined to die.
The first thing she said after waking up was still thinking about others.
All her actions almost made Toru Amuro feel that the girl in front of her had all the "beautiful" qualities.
Kind, gentle, and self-sacrificing.
So he went to investigate Furukawa Kumisa's files as soon as he landed - but the results of the investigation disappointed him.
Furukawa Kumisa is an orphan who was adopted by the organization since he was a child. After he showed the talent of "hyperamnesia" as a child, he was specially trained by the organization. As a technical talent, he was sent to study in the United States. After returning to the country, he took over the job of Curacao.
Work, and became a person that even Rum admired.
Like the scientist Miyano Shiho who is now being hunted by the organization, she has been in the organization's sight since she was born. There is absolutely no possibility that she was sent by other forces to be an undercover agent of the organization.
Toru Amuro felt it was a pity, but in despair, she gave birth to a different kind of hope - in an environment where she was closely monitored and cultivated by the organization since she was a child, she could grow up to have such a clear conscience. Does this mean that she is very attached to the organization?
unsatisfied?
She was so dissatisfied with the current situation and wanted to get rid of her current life at the last moment of her life. Does this mean that as long as she has the right opportunity, she might... betray the organization and become their helper?
Publicly and privately, these are the results Tohru Amuro wants to see.
Yu Gong, he naturally hopes that Furukawa Kumisa can help them on their way to destroying the organization.
Yu Zi...he fully understands the powerlessness of watching oneself sink into the abyss, but having no choice but to join in the misery.
Moreover, she is different from the undercovers like them. She does not have the belief that "one day we will see the light of day" like them. Her future is bleak and she sees no hope.
——He hopes to help her if he can.
Whether as Toru Amuro or Rei Fukiya, he hopes to help her get out of trouble.
But this all requires long-term planning and he cannot act rashly.
He needs to truly ascertain her attitude first, and then subtly extend an invitation to her...
Kumisa Furukawa knew nothing about Toru Amuro's psychological activities. She just watched Toru Amuro silently feed herself a spoonful of porridge, and even picked up a tissue from time to time and thoughtfully wiped away the residue from the corners of her mouth. She just watched
feel……
—— Terrified.
"Holy shit, oh shit, what's wrong with this guy? Why is he so nice and gentle to me all of a sudden? I'm getting goosebumps!!"
"Is there a possibility that he was very good to you before..."
This is the truth. Toru Amuro has always been a person who makes perfect appearances.
"But it's not this kind of 'gentleness from the heart'!! He used to treat me like a colleague and a junior at most, but now he directly feeds me and wipes the corners of my mouth... He couldn't have hit his brain during the emergency landing.
Bar??"
"...Host, you were the one who hit your head during the emergency landing."
Furukawa Kumisa thought it made sense, and then unilaterally blocked the system.
"Um, Amuro-kun..."
Amuro kept moving her hands, put a spoonful of porridge to her mouth, blew it to cool it, fed it to her lips, and then raised her eyes to look at her.
"Um?"
His eyes were gentle, almost watering.
Furukawa Kumisa: "..."
She took a deep breath, held down her frightened little heart, and then spoke the prepared words.
"I hope Mr. Amuro can do this for me. Of course, this is not unconditional. If Mr. Amuro is willing, we can make a deal."
Furukawa Kumisa knew that it would not make sense to treat people like Bourbon and say to him emotionally and rationally, "Kudo Shinichi has helped us, and we want to reciprocate him." It would be better to directly promise a benefit transaction.
Well done.
"If Mr. Amuro hides the fact that 'Kudo Shinichi is still alive' for me, all the credit for this trip to Hokkaido will eventually go to your name, and I will recommend you to Rum as his deputy."
Toru Amuro has always had the ambition to climb up, which is no secret in the organization - the organization is a place that encourages and even breeds ambition.
After Curacao's death, he had always regarded the position of Rum's deputy as something in his pocket, but he did not expect that a man of his own who had returned from studying abroad would appear in the middle, and he was almost a person with connections from heaven.
This was also the reason why Furukawa Kumisa was wary of Tohru Amuro - she put herself in his shoes and thought that if she were faced with such a situation, she would regard that person as the biggest obstacle to her promotion.
But in other words, if he withdraws from this competition, or even pushes Tohru Amuro, his promotion will almost be certain.
She didn't think Toru Amuro would give up this opportunity.
As expected, she saw Toru Amuro's eyes move, and there was something different in the eyes he looked at her.
"A very exciting proposal," he smiled slightly, "but I'm more curious...Why does Furukawa-san think so highly of Kudo Shinichi?"
Furukawa Kumisa had already drafted this question, and when he was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by a ringtone.
It is her daily mobile phone.
This is the mobile phone she usually keeps by her side. Like the other two, it did not sink into the sea with her luggage.
Even because it was not soaked in water for long, it could still be turned on after the water was removed after being picked up.
She had already plugged in the charging cable for her phone when she woke up, and now it was ready to be turned on.
She took the phone and took a look. It was a video call request, and the number belonged to Sato Miwako.
She answered the phone, and an angry man suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Furu! Kawa! Kyu! Mi! Sha!" Matsuda Jinpei was rarely so furious, "Why don't you answer my call??!!"
Furukawa Kumisa was so frightened that he almost threw his phone away, but he took a moment to hold it steady.
"Sorry, sorry, something happened here, my phone just turned on..."
"The whole police station knows something happened to you!!"
The furious Matsuda's curly hair seemed to explode, and then his face was pushed away by a white hand, and Sato's face appeared in front of the camera.
"Matsuda, please speak up! Something like that happened to Furukawa! Why are you so cruel to her?"
Sato looked at the camera and softened his voice: "Furukawa, are you okay? I heard that your flight had a problem and made an emergency landing at sea, but there were no casualties. We were all anxious. Matsuda kept calling your mobile phone, but he kept
No one heard……"
Takagi interjected from the side: "It was reported in the news that two passengers were responsible for the emergency landing, but the names of the passengers have not been reported... Let's not talk about this. Are you okay, Officer Furukawa? Looking at your background, are you in the hospital now?
?”
Furukawa Kumisa thought of what Takagi had said before, and understood that it was either the organization or the police that suppressed this incident, which was why the name of the protagonist did not appear in such sensational news - this is not bad news, at least Kudo Arata
Things of one can be hidden more tightly.
After receiving the concern from so many colleagues, Furukawa Kumisa's heart was still very warm. She said: "Well...I'm fine. I just kowtowed when I made the emergency landing, and then my hand was, um...fractured, but it's nothing serious.
, I’ve woken up! I made everyone worried, but I’m fine now!”
She was still about to say something, but suddenly her lips felt warm and another spoonful of porridge was brought to her.
To be continued...
