The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Oda Taisei's attitude was clear: the Metropolitan Police Department's internal investigation team had considerable authority and might even have connections with high-ranking figures within the department. If Takayama Ryosuke could establish a firm foothold, it would naturally benefit the Oda Group greatly. Of course, he wouldn't want his pawn, whom he had waited so many years to grow, to be destroyed like this.

However, after hanging up the phone, Ryosuke Takayama couldn't calm down.

Although Oda Taisei and Onodera both told him that they would handle the matter and that he didn't need to get involved, how could he not get involved when his own safety was at stake?

With this in mind, Ryosuke Takayama carefully took out his sidearm and then quietly left the Metropolitan Police Department, following Superintendent Onodera.

Chapter 260: Chapter 258: Rooftop Meeting

Although Onodera Riki had become more vigilant after leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, he did not seem to notice Takayama Ryosuke's pursuit.

Ryosuke Takayama had been a street thief since childhood, and after becoming a policeman, he dealt with thieves and burglars every day. So his ability to track people was naturally not lacking. With him trying his best to avoid Riki Onodera, Riki Onodera did not find him so easily.

However, even now, Ryosuke Takayama has not discovered any movements from the Oda Group, nor does he know what methods they plan to use to find the mole within the gang.

With a sense of unease in his heart, Ryosuke Takayama carefully hid in the crowd, only occasionally glancing at Onodera.

After spending about forty minutes on the train, and confirming that everything was alright, Onodera Riki left the train and headed towards the meeting place he had arranged with Moriya Jun.

Ryosuke Takayama, who was following behind Riki Onodera, also witnessed Onodera enter a building and take the elevator to the top of the building.

After confirming the location, Ryosuke Takayama was still debating whether he should call Taisei Oda to explain the situation, lest the undercover agent reveal his identity to Inspector Onodera.

However, before he could call Oda Taisei, Oda Taisei called him first.

"I told you to just wait inside the Metropolitan Police Department, but it seems you still haven't followed my instructions."

On the other end of the phone, Oda Taisei immediately mentioned that Takayama Ryosuke was not currently at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Upon hearing what Oda Taisei said, Takayama Ryosuke's expression changed slightly.

He hadn't noticed the gangsters following Onodera Riki along the way. Now, just as he arrived at this building and learned the location of Onodera Riki's meeting with the Oda Group mole, Oda Taisei called to "warn" him.

Could it be that it wasn't Onodera Riki who was being followed, but him?

When he was following Onodera Riki, he didn't think about the possibility that he might be being followed, but after Oda Taisei called, he quickly realized the possibility.

Thinking of this, Ryosuke Takayama couldn't help but look around, trying to find the person who was following him.

Ryosuke Takayama had his suspicions long ago.

He was only transferred to the internal investigation team today, and apart from his superiors and colleagues in the countermeasures department, no one else should know about this so quickly.

However, Oda Taisei brought up this matter directly when he called this morning, which is very unusual. It's as if there's another pair of eyes watching him all along.

Perhaps Oda Taisei didn't just send him to the police academy to become a policeman. Maybe there are several undercover agents in the Metropolitan Police Department that he doesn't know about, or maybe that undercover agent is right next to him.

After warning Takayama Ryosuke, Oda Taisei stopped talking about the topic, and even his tone seemed to soften considerably.

"I know you want to investigate the mole, but I've already sent people to this building. To avoid suspicion, it's best if you don't get involved, after all, you're a very important member of our family..."

Hearing that Oda Taisei's tone was a little off when he called out to someone, Takayama Ryosuke seemed to realize something.

"You're not thinking of taking out Superintendent Onodera as well, are you? If you do, the Oda Group will completely break ties with the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"That's a last resort, but it's not impossible if necessary. After all, the brothers in the gang have suffered a lot at his hands before."

After hanging up the phone, Ryosuke Takayama hesitated for a moment before deciding not to return to the Metropolitan Police Department. Instead, he waited for the Oda Group to arrive and secretly observed how the incident would end.

......

On the rooftop, Jun Moriya was already waiting, smoking a cigarette.

When he saw Onodera Riki arrive, he took out a photograph from his pocket.

"Is this the photo of the traitor? I didn't expect you to be able to collect such crucial evidence so quickly. You've really worked hard," Onodera Riki reached out to take the photo from the other person's hand, but Moriya Jun pulled his hand back slightly.

"After this mole is dealt with, how long will I have to stay in the Oda Group? And after that, will I be able to regain my police status?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll probably be assigned to manage the warehouse after you regain your police status. You shouldn't mind the position, right?"

Moriya Jun shook his head noncommittally; to him, being a warehouse manager seemed quite nice.

However, Onodera's phrase "unsurprisingly" left him somewhat dissatisfied.

"Six years ago, before you sent me to the Oda Group, you said the same thing. After I helped deal with that gang, you told me that the Oda Group had been merged into the Mud Sand Association, and asked me to be an undercover agent again. As a result, I've been an undercover agent for another six years," Moriya Jun stubbed out his cigarette, seemingly wanting Onodera Riki to give him a definite answer.

“As you have seen, the Oda Group’s growth rate after being incorporated into the Mud Association was astonishing. At that time, there was no one more suitable than you.” Onodera Riki sighed slightly to Moriya Jun with a touch of emotion. “But this time there won’t be too much of a problem. After all, you’re not young anymore, and it’s time for you to come back.”

After hearing what Onodera Riki said, Moriya Jun handed the photo in his hand to his boss who had "tricked" him for many years.

He did not mention that the photo originated from Jianghang.

He knew very well that, given Onodera's personality, it wouldn't be easy for him to explain himself if he found out that someone had discovered his undercover identity.

Furthermore, Jiang Hang had connections with Furuya Rei, and in order to avoid causing trouble for his friend, although Jiang Hang never said he would hide all of this for him, Moriya Jun ultimately did not reveal the source of the photo.

As for Onodera Riki, he naturally regarded it as Moriya Jun's achievement.

His attention was now completely focused on the photograph, and then his gaze sharpened slightly.

"The traitor was him?"

Chapter 261: Chapter 259: How many undercover agents are there?

A cold wind began to blow from the rooftop.

The two people on the rooftop instinctively turned up their collars.

The photo that Jun Moriya provided wasn't very clear, and it was taken in a dimly lit environment.

And the person in the photo only showed half of their face.

But for Onodera Riki, who met with his subordinates every day, he could naturally recognize the person's identity at a glance.

After confirming that it was the other person, Onodera Riki's expression became somewhat serious.

"Can you be sure it's him?"

After all, the other party was his subordinate and a colleague he had known for several years. Even if he knew there was a mole in the department, when the mole's true face was revealed to him, the coldness he felt was even more biting than the cold wind on the rooftop.

Sensual of his boss's mood, Jun Moriya still nodded in confirmation.

“Last night, I saw the two of them meet in the movie theater with my own eyes. Afterwards, I even followed him for a while. So, is he from the Metropolitan Police Department?”

Onodera Riki sighed slightly and acknowledged the matter.

“He is indeed my subordinate. He has been working for me for many years. I really didn’t expect that the traitor would be him.”

Onodera Riki initially thought the undercover agent was a young police officer who had only recently joined the force, but now it seems that the Oda Group probably started planning the undercover operation many years ago.

What a cunning old fox...

This is how he internally judged Oda Taisei.

Thinking this, Onodera Riki took out his phone, intending to have the Metropolitan Police Department officers detain the mole first, and then make further plans after he returned.

To the surprise of the two on the rooftop, just as they were about to take action, Moriya Jun's phone rang.

The caller was Jun Moriya, one of Jun's underlings in the Oda-gumi.

"Brother, where are you right now? The boss just called and said that the mole in the gang is meeting with the cops. He wants us to come over here right now!"

Upon hearing what his younger brother said, Jun Moriya's expression immediately changed, and even Riki Onodera, who was standing next to him, noticed that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, the henchman told Moriya Jun in an anxious tone a location, which was the current location of the undercover agent they had found out.

"I'm coming right now..."

Upon hearing the location, Jun Moriya, who had initially felt uneasy, paused for a moment.

"Wait, where is that place you're talking about?"

He originally thought that Onodera Riki or he himself had been followed on his way here, and that his underling had called to say that the location was in the building where they were. But the location that his underling said was different from where he was now!

To be precise, the place the other party mentioned is not even in the same region as this place. If we take the Oda-gumi's territory as the origin, these two places are in completely opposite directions.

Even if he wanted to get there now, it would probably take him several tens of minutes.

Could it be that Oda Taisei wanted to use this method to see who failed to arrive in time and expose him as an undercover agent?

Or... for some other reason, did that group of people go to the wrong place?

For some reason, the image of that detective flashed through Jun Moriya's mind.

However, this matter should have nothing to do with him... With this thought in mind, after hanging up the phone, Jun Moriya quickly explained the current situation to Riki Onodera.

"I have to rush over there now, but I don't know if I'll make it in time."

“Then be careful,” Onodera said cautiously to Onodera Riki. “I’ll contact the countermeasures department to take that traitor into custody.”

After watching Moriya Jun leave, Onodera Riki remained on the rooftop and immediately made a phone call.

......

After watching Onodera Riki enter the building and take the elevator to the top, Takayama Ryosuke found a secluded spot in the distance and hid himself.

While observing the movements of the Oda Group, he was also trying to find the other mole who was following him.

At this moment, in his sight, the first batch of Oda Group members had arrived. They went straight into the building, trying to find Onodera Riki and his group.

Based on what Oda Taisei had revealed to him during this period, he was almost certain that he was not the only mole in the Metropolitan Police Department.

After carefully recalling his recent interactions with Oda Taisei and concluding that he hadn't given anything away, he couldn't help but begin to suspect that the mole within the Oda Group might actually be him.

Just then, his phone rang.

The person who made the call was Onodera Riki!

Ryosuke Takayama's heart began to beat faster without him realizing it.

Judging from the timeline, Onodera should have already met with the undercover agent on the rooftop, and perhaps he already knows who the mole is.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and then he answered the phone.

He had already made up his mind that if Onodera Riki came to ask him about his current location, he was ready to run away immediately. No matter what, he didn't want to spend the next few years or even longer in prison.

However, what Onodera Riki said made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"According to the intelligence from my inside source, the mole is Sakai Toshihiko. Take him into custody for now and wait for my return."

Onodera spoke hastily, and after revealing the name of the traitor, he hung up the phone immediately.

“Sakai Toshihiko…” Upon hearing the name spoken by Onodera Riki on the other end of the phone, Takayama Ryosuke immediately thought of the colleague he had worked with for two or three years.
