"Sugimizu, please make a record," Chongzong glanced at Sugimizu and Sugimizu understood, taking out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket. But this was just a cover. In fact, Sugimizu used this action to turn on the switch of the recording device in his pocket. Taking out the notebook was just a performance for Ayaki Yuriko to see. The purpose was to relax her, to make her think that she was only facing two little kids.
"What is your real name?" Chongzong asked.
"Ayaki Yuriko," Ayaki Yuriko answered without hesitation.
"Why did you attack Koga Mizuo?"
"I had no purpose, it was just a mission."
"Who gave you the mission?"
"Bai Yaxin."
"Why did he ask you to assassinate Koga Mizuo?"
"He didn't say."
"In what capacity do you carry out missions for Bai Yaxin?"
"I am employed by Bai Yaxin's organization."
"For how long?"
"For many years, maybe five or six."
To have been involved for five or six years, Ayaki Yuriko must be a senior member of Bai Yaxin's organization, Chongzong thought. The value of using this woman may be greater than he imagined.
"Some time ago, a man attempted to kill Yuki and Koga, but ended up killing Watanabe Gengo instead. Were you aware of this?"
"Hmm... Oh, you're talking about that incident," Ayaki Yuriko pondered for a moment, then seemed to remember something. "It was Aziz, the weird guy who likes plants."
"He is also a top assassin in the organization. None of us expected him to fail in such a simple mission and lose his life."
"So, it was Bai Yaxin's order for him to go on the assassination mission?"
"Yes, isn't it obvious?"
Ayaki Yuriko spoke casually, showing no grief over the death of her comrade, nor any shame or guilt for admitting her crimes against Koga and Yuki. Was this woman so cold-blooded that she had no emotions at all?
Chongzong and Ayaki Yuriko locked eyes with their icy gazes, feeling a chill from the depths of their souls. For some reason, this woman's heart had already died, Chongzong believed.
"Take a break first. "Chongzong unilaterally ended the conversation, signaling Sugimizu to stay in the room while he stepped out. He intentionally left the door slightly ajar, standing by the side where Ayaki Yuriko couldn't see, listening carefully to any movements inside the room.
"How about it, Yuki? Shall we end here for today?" The main reason Chongzong stopped was because he was worried about Yuki. The content of these conversations was too burdensome for a child like her.
But Yuki was much stronger than Chongzong had imagined. Not only did she write down every word of the conversation, but she also completed her core task. At the end of each sentence spoken by Ayaki Yuriko, she noted her understanding of whether it was true or false.
