Besides, Amuro Tooru secretly thought, there was something else worth being wary of:
Last time, Gin had appeared near the deceased Doctor Utsumi.
This time, he himself had been dragged in again.
Combining these known clues, a conclusion slowly surfaced in Amuro Tooru's mind: ...Could it be that Uzo not only skipped his appointments, but also planned to make other executives take the blame for all the doctors' deaths?
The moment the thought emerged, he became alert. Come to think of it, Gin's activities seemed to have decreased significantly lately. He had even heard that Irish was showing signs of replacing him.

...Fortunately, he had long noticed that Doctor Yoshimura was a Peripheral Member, and at the crime scene, he had taken the most appropriate measures as Bourbon to prevent the organization's intelligence from leaking out. Otherwise...
No matter how much Amuro Tooru wished for Doctor Yoshida's files to end up in the hands of the police,
