Winters in London are always cold.

Even though it is only early winter, the sun is shining brightly and there is not much wind.

At this moment, it can be said that the temperature is the highest in the day.

But the air outside was still chilly and chilly.

In this case, the wine and drinks placed on the open-air dining table only serve as decoration. Everyone has a glass in their hands, but it is always the same glass.

Many members had already known from the call-up notice that this birthday party would be held outdoors.

Still dressed very appropriately and for the occasion.

However, if the demeanor is sufficient, the temperature will obviously be greatly reduced.

In simple terms, it is not very frost-resistant.

Therefore, cold drinks become even less popular at this time.

Even though people know that strong alcoholic beverages can warm the body, no one drinks them.

Everyone was holding either a glass of low-alcohol red wine as a decoration or a piece of freshly grilled kebab.

But compared to the cold air that penetrates every pore, this amount of heat can be ignored.

No one was dissatisfied with this, and no one dared to question it, as there was obviously a suitable place on this farm.

Why should this birthday party be held outdoors instead of in an indoor space with doors, windows and air conditioning?

They both know each other well.

This was no ordinary birthday party at all.

The purpose of gathering them together was not just to hold a birthday party for Xiang.

What’s the big deal about just blowing a cold breeze? The highlight is yet to come.

Toru Amuro followed the crowd and picked up a glass of red wine. While talking to Crown and others, his eyes swept over the people in the venue.

It finally fell on a blond and blue-eyed man wearing a three-piece suit.

This person should be the one who just stared at him with angry and jealous eyes.

But then, Toru Amuro's gaze subconsciously fell on the red-haired young man next to the blond man.

"Why, what is there about those two people that is worthy of your constant staring?"

Chivas noticed that Bourbon was looking somewhere else and looked in the direction of his gaze.

"Who are those two people?"

"Glenquinche and Johnnie Walker, the best among the mid-level code members."

Chivas was clearly impressed.

"The best?"

Amuro Toru repeated the word with an ambiguous tone.

"Yes, Granquinchi is the top leader of the equipment group in the French branch.

The other Johnnie Walker is a core member of the equipment research and development team under the adults. He only obeys the adults' orders and rarely shows up outside. "

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Toru Amuro once again looked at the red-haired young man who was introduced by Chivas.

This Johnnie Walker has a very special position in the equipment group.

"It's a pity that such an outstanding person is only a mid-level code member."

Amuro Toru opened his mouth tentatively.

Chivas glanced at Toru Amuro, thought about the pleasant collaboration with Bourbon before, and decided to quietly reveal the gossip he had heard.

"There were rumors before that the Lord would choose one of them for promotion."

As a result, a Bourbon was recruited from the intelligence team.

There was no movement after that.

At that time, many people believed that it was the sudden arrival of Bourbon that took the promotion spot that should have belonged to Glenquinche or Johnnie Walker.

After hearing this inside story, Toru Amuro instantly understood why he received such angry and resentful looks.

It is normal to feel angry when your promotion opportunity is snatched away by someone who suddenly arrives from nowhere.

However, that Johnnie Walker didn't look angry.

Is he hiding this emotion very well, or is he just not caring at all?

Inadvertently meeting the eyes of the red-haired young man in the distance, Toru Amuro found that the red-haired young man had a cold expression, and there was no anger or resentment in his eyes.

But it is the coldness that ignores everything.

As if he didn't care about anything.

Suddenly, Toru Amuro had the illusion that he was seeing Karasuma Soshin.

Wait, that is!!!

Toru Amuro was just about to laugh at himself for being a little paranoid, but when he saw someone with a similar expression, he thought of whiskey.

Then he suddenly discovered that this Johnnie Walker was wearing a ruby ​​earring on his left ear.

Short hair, ruby ​​earrings, and an inexplicably familiar look.

Amuro Toru walked up to Yamazaki, raised his glass, and asked in a low voice:

"Is the Lord here today?"

Yamazaki paused for a moment, then raised his glass and clinked it with his own.

"Why are you asking?"

"Johnny Walker."

Yamazaki's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression did not change at all.

"Just keep it in mind and don't reveal it to anyone else."

There are currently eighteen senior code members and fifty-nine intermediate code members in the equipment group.

Among them, only nine people knew that Johnnie Walker was the leader whisky trumpet.

These nine people are also Karasuma Soshin's true trusted team and the core senior executives of the equipment group.

The remaining nine senior code members are deputies of the eight senior executives.

Diogia is the highest person in charge of the equipment group's headquarters, Yingguo. He has a special position, so compared with other senior executives, he has two senior code members as deputies.

In contrast, Xiang, who only has a high-level title, is jokingly called the mascot of the equipment group.

He had no deputies, no direct subordinates, and no real power.

Chivas, as the core senior management, naturally knows this.

But as long as Karasuma Soshin did not give any instructions, he would not reveal a single thing even when facing the new star Bourbon.

As for Yamazaki.

When she saw Karasuma Soshin appear as Johnnie Walker but did not take off his ruby ​​earrings.

He cleverly guessed that Karasuma Soshin had no intention of hiding this trumpet from Bourbon.

After successfully verifying the result, Toru Amuro felt mixed emotions.

On the one hand, he lamented the trust that Karasuma Soshin had in him, and on the other hand, he was secretly glad.

Fortunately, he was just thinking about it and hadn't really contacted it, otherwise it would have been delivered to his door.

Granquinchi watched Toru Amuro moving around and talking among the senior code members, looking like a fish in water, and his dissatisfaction grew deeper.

Karasuma Soshin saw this, but he neither said anything nor paid attention to Granquinchi's indignation.

Just pretend you don’t know.

At two points, the senior and intermediate code members of the equipment group are basically all in place.

In addition to the protagonist of this birthday party, and Macallan.

Knowing that this birthday party was not simple, everyone did not show any strange expression.

Just pretend that I didn't know that this birthday party officially started at two o'clock.

Some were chatting, some were eating barbecue, and none of them cared about the whereabouts of the protagonist of the birthday party.

But at this moment, two people's faces suddenly changed, and the next second they fell to the lawn, covering their necks.

The sudden change made the entire open-air venue quiet in an instant.

You can't hear a pin drop, but you can clearly hear the birds singing in the distance.

Senior code members such as Yamazaki and Amuro Toru quickly stepped forward, while other mid-level code members retreated in unison.

Leave a big circle.

It fully demonstrated the attitude of joining in the fun safely.

Karasuma Soshin was also one of those who retreated, but his eyes did not fall on the two people who fell to the ground like the others.

Instead, it fell to one of the senior code members.

Of course, he just glanced past and didn't stay for too long.

"Who are you!!! Where are Abe and Turado?"

After seeing the faces of the two people falling to the ground, Chivas's face changed drastically.

Diogenes, who was standing a little further away, blinked and his heartbeat quickened.

A stranger actually sneaked into the birthday party, which only middle and senior code members were qualified to attend.

The intermediate code members who were watching were suddenly in an uproar.

Several mid-level code members who were familiar with the two men took two steps forward and found that the two men were lying on the grass, covering their necks, with painful expressions on their faces but unable to speak. They were wearing clothes that were very familiar to them.

But with a completely different face.

Abe and Turado were impersonated by someone, and the real Abe and Turado are nowhere to be found.

This fact shocked everyone present.

Many people only felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts and quickly spreading throughout their bodies.

Then he subconsciously distanced himself from the people around him.

No one dared to bet whether there were other people who were replaced quietly besides these two.

Could it be that the familiar companions around you are evil villains in disguise?

The tense and uneasy atmosphere gradually spread.

Some people began to test the waters, hoping to find out whether their familiar partners or companions had their cores secretly replaced by someone else.

Grancunchi did not move, nor did he make any probing remarks.

He was 100% sure that what was next to him was the real Johnnie Walker.

Even if others want to imitate him, they can't imitate this guy's temperament of looking down on everything and ignoring everything.

Yamazaki stepped forward and carefully checked it, frowning and saying affirmatively.

"He didn't sneak in by disguise."

As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-level code members who were already nervous and thus scattered further distanced themselves from the people around them.

A dark gleam flashed across Diogenes’ eyes.

"It's those guys from the Mysterious Side again."

The winter wind suddenly blew, making many people feel cold not only physically but also in their hearts.

At the same time, it became more and more creepy.

Toru Amuro was wondering whether the exposure of these two people was related to McAllen or Karasuma Soshin.

While he was thinking, McAllen arrived late.

Crown, who was standing at the back, noticed it first, made way for him, and asked him:

"What's going on? What's the noise?"

McAllen's face did not look good, especially when he saw that there were only two people lying on the ground, his expression became even more sinister.

Seeing McAllen coming, Toru Amuro and others who were surrounding the two impostors made way.

This allowed McCarron to walk unimpeded to the two people who were writhing in pain on the lawn.

"Identify your third accomplice, and I will spare your lives."

When they heard that the other party had a third accomplice present, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

However, as soon as McAllen finished speaking, the two men stopped breathing at the same time.

His eyes were open as if he was dying, and his pupils dilated in the blink of an eye.

This scene was like a bucket of water rolling into a smoking oil pan.

The atmosphere on the spot changed from tense and quiet to lively.

Under the watchful eyes of all,

Two people who were alive and kicking before, cough~ rolling on all fours, full of energy, died so quickly and cleanly without anyone approaching them.

Who couldn't infer that this third accomplice hiding among them had the means to kill people from a distance?

Yamazaki immediately wanted to rush towards Karasuma Soshin, but was stopped by Amuro Toru, who was standing next to her and had noticed her in advance.

Diogia walked up to Macallan and asked:

"How did you make these two people reveal their true colors? Can't you use it again one by one?"

McCarron shook his head.

"It was used, but it didn't work on the third person."

“If the methods used against the mysterious side don’t work.

Is it possible that the other party is disguising himself using non-mysterious means? "

As soon as Amuro Toru said this, everyone else suddenly became enlightened.

Apart from the mysterious means, there are ways to disguise yourself as another person.

For example, the famous Thousand-Faced Witch Vermouth in the organization can transform into anyone by using her ability to disguise herself and change her voice.

With the development of modern medicine, plastic surgery techniques are becoming more and more advanced.

If one is really cruel enough, not to mention plastic surgery to create a different face, it would be easy to change one's gender.

However, if it is the latter case, then the meaning it represents will be different.

This kind of surgery cannot be done overnight, and once it is successful, who knows when it will be replaced.

Even the closest partners among the middle and senior code members of the equipment group would not stay together all day long.

It is normal not to see each other for three to five months, but it is not uncommon to see each other once a year.

If you are just a mid-level code member, you can't even attend the year-end dinner, and it's not uncommon not to see you for two or three years.

If someone really wants to be replaced quietly, such a long time is enough for the other party to imitate the replaced person perfectly.

"Let's draw blood on the spot, or take fingerprints or record irises."

Diogenes gave timely advice.

“Let the research team work overtime to compare it with the information retained in the database.

There should be results soon.”

But don't try to pinch your face or nose to verify whether it is a disguise.

If unfortunately the adult's identity is revealed before the undercover is found, it will be a lot of fun.

Toru Amuro also realized this.

The whisky appears as Johnnie Walker, obviously not wanting to reveal its true identity.

If his identity was exposed due to the disguise inspection, Whiskey would definitely blame him.

At this moment, Toru Amuro suddenly reacted.

Was it that Whiskey exposed Johnnie Walker's trumpet to him this time just to prevent him from suggesting the facial recognition method?

Since he calculated this so early, did he really not know who the third person was?

Toru Amuro tried his best to resist the urge to look at Karasuma Soshin's expression at the moment, and echoed Diogenes' suggestion.

Yamazaki had no objection, and although the rest of the Crown executives were puzzled, they did not object.

The senior code members quickly reached a consensus, and the mid-level code members naturally had no objections.

Even in this cold weather, they were still outside, and the wind was gradually getting stronger, which was really not a pleasant feeling.

"Why don't you all move indoors and I'll go get someone to arrange some hot drinks."

At this moment, someone suddenly suggested.
