Persona: Devil Summoner

"Yes, I know. Thank you, thank you!!! I, I will definitely change my ways!!!"

He spoke in the most sincere tone, however, his face, pressed to the ground, revealed a strange smile.

Chapter 592 Late Reply

The situation was under control, and Jiang Tianwei let Fang Zexia out and let her lie in the corner. At this time, Fang Zexia's breathing was rapid and light, and she couldn't even open her eyes. It was as if she was going to die in the next second...

The peerless beauty Cleopatra also jumped out. As the "attending doctor", she sighed and said, "There is nothing we can do. Her injuries are very serious. The only thing that can save her is a lover's kiss."

"Do you think I haven't heard the story of Snow White?"

Jiang Tianwei looked at Fang Zexia and Cleopatra in front of him with a frown.

He glanced at his phone and the message on it clearly stated that although Fang Zexia had been seriously injured before, she had returned to a healthy state after Cleopatra's treatment.

In other words, her current weak appearance was simply a fake! It was a hoax! What do you mean it’s just a lover’s kiss! Brother Narukami is watching! Why is she doing such a cheesy thing? Can’t she do this kind of thing at home? !

However, Ming Shangyou was obviously a man who had seen the world. When he saw the two beauties here, he instantly understood what was going on. He took out his cell phone, pretended to make a call, and went downstairs naturally.

"snow White?"

Cleopatra tilted her head, and her beautiful white hair swayed with the movement, which was particularly beautiful. It can be seen that there should be no story like Snow White in her time. Jiang Tianwei didn't care about her, tapped Fang Zexia on the forehead, and smiled: "Okay, get up quickly. Do this kind of thing when you get home."

Jiang Tianwei's words made Fang Zexia pout and she got up from the ground reluctantly: "You have no sense of humor at all!"

"Okay, okay, I don't have any interest in romance. I'll buy a two-foot Persian carpet and slap you in the face when I get back."

Jiang Tianwei was talking nonsense casually. This time, it was rare that the topic Jiang Tianwei talked about touched Fang Zexia's unknown territory. She asked curiously, "Why buy a carpet?"

Cleopatra, however, smiled wickedly and said, "Then I won't bother you two anymore." She turned around, returned to her phone and disappeared.

Speaking of Cleopatra, the most famous story is that she once wrapped herself in a blanket and asked her subordinates to go out of the city to meet Caesar in the name of giving gifts. It is said that the two talked all night long, but it is not known whether they just talked or did something other than talking.

Jiang Tianwei is not a woman, he does not understand women's hearts. At the same time, he is not the emperor, so he does not know what the emperor thinks. But he is a man, so he knows very well what a man should do in this situation.

"So, have you ever worn a kimono?"

"Uh, through, what's wrong?"

Fang Zexia rarely encountered a time when she didn't understand Jiang Tianwei, and her big eyes flickered. Jiang Tianwei laughed and didn't explain, and quickly chased after Ming Shangyou. She was confused: "What are you doing? Explain to me first, then leave! What topic is blanket and kimono!"

--------------

It was a rare opportunity to meet a senior like Ming Shangyou, so Jiang Tianwei was certainly not stingy. He generously invited the other party to have lunch together.

This is a habit deeply ingrained in the Chinese people. No matter what the issue is, they like to talk about it at the dinner table.

However, I don't know if Narukami Yuu is shy or afraid of strangers. In short, he doesn't talk much.

The way these two people talked was like a crosstalk, one talking at length and the other just saying "um" and "ah". This made Jiang Tianwei feel like he had no idea where to start. Although he wanted to get closer to them, Ming Shangyou kept a calm and cool face. As they talked, he didn't know how to continue the topic.

If you ask Jiang Tianwei to use memes, he has a lot of them, but if you want him to advance the conversation, his knowledge is not enough, especially for someone like Narukami Yuu who doesn't seem to understand memes.

This meal was definitely the most frustrating one Jiang Tianwei had ever had. Ming Shangyou's taciturn personality made it really difficult to communicate with him.

The only thing that was made clear at the dinner table was that he was indeed the helper invited by Bai Zhong Naoto, but he was originally from Tokyo and just changed his profession.

To be honest, this senior is really reliable, as he is willing to work for a gangster just for a word from his companion.

Then there is no more.

At the dinner table, Jiang Tianwei received calls from Kawahara group members one after another. Kawahara Masaaki was in a coma now - and he had inhaled anesthetic gas, so he would not wake up until tomorrow at the very least. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and an organization certainly cannot be without a boss, so everyone was willing to ask Jiang Tianwei about many things that had to be decided.

This is not to say that everyone trusts the judgment of this young man, but at times like this, if you ask your leader, you can push all the responsibility to him. If you act arbitrarily, you have to be careful about being held accountable later.

Jiang Tianwei also understood this atmosphere in the workplace, so he made decisions that he thought were reasonable.

The sudden attack by the Sakurano Group caused chaos in the entire Kawahara Bank. Moreover, at this time, there was a shooting incident in the hospital where their team leader worked? How could they not be anxious? Although they usually wear suits and look well-dressed, they are still gangsters at heart. It is difficult to change their character of not obeying others.

Then, there are the movements of the police. Arresting the Sakurano Group was necessary, but unexpectedly, many cadres of the Kawahara Group were also called in for questioning, which is why there is no leader and these cadres did not stand up.

Moreover, Kitagawa Minghai really turned himself in as he said.

What’s even more shocking is that he actually admitted that he was related to the mental breakdown incident that caused so much uproar!!!

The Special Investigation Department that had been investigating this case was going crazy! Happiness came too suddenly!!! So they immediately organized people to question him, but because he was covered in blood and his mental state was not very good, he had to be treated first.

Since Narukami Yu was still at work, he had lunch and then hurried back to Kawahara Bank to take over his shift. After all, the bank needed manpower to rebuild everywhere and couldn't wait.

Jiang Tianwei listened to the reports from Kawahara Group and felt like he was a big boss. How should I put it, the feeling of holding power was just great!

"Well, now that the case is solved, all that's left is to investigate Okumura. I wonder if there's any news from Naoto?"

Just as he was thinking this, coincidentally, his cell phone rang!

"I said that Bai Zhongzhidou must be a fortune teller. How come his timing is always so perfect?"

Jiang Tianwei opened the text message while joking with Fang Zexia, who was pouting unhappily.

"Sorry, senior. I just saw the message. Is it too late for me to go over and gather now? - Yoshizawa Sumire"

Jiang Tianwei looked at the time silently and said, "My dear sister, did you know that you are four hours late?"

It seems that even Naoto, who is so powerful, can't time things so accurately!

Since she didn't contact me, I'll contact her first! I'll also tell her about my relationship with her senior: the two of us solved the problem of the emotional outburst. We're so strong!

Chapter 593 The next target, getdaze!

Okumura Foods is a company that is currently on the rise.

The name tells us their main business scope, which is a typical example of a business that fits the title. Their Cosmos Burger is not only well-received in Japan, but you can even see their branches in Hawaii, so you can imagine how powerful this company is.

Especially in the fast food industry, this is an area where it is difficult to catch up.

First of all, it is the traditional perception of the public. Presumably, everyone should have heard that fried chicken, hamburgers and French fries were first called junk food. Countless experts and scholars have used various methods to prove that eating hamburgers is more toxic than drinking a three-in-one meal of arsenic, chlorpyrifos and dichlorvos.

However, some conspiracy theories later emerged, believing that the opposition was mainly due to the impact of fast food on traditional meals, so these were actually conspiracies of the mainstream catering industry.

Regardless of whether this conspiracy theory is true or not, the public does have the impression that fast food is "unnutritious and unhealthy."

Secondly, the fast food industry also has its own giants.

In most cases, the first people to get in the front row will reap the benefits. For example, during the gold rush, the first group of people made a lot of money, while the people who came later made less and less. In various business fields, the first people to grab the market will thrive, and it will be difficult to make money once the market is saturated.

For example, in the payment field. When Chinese people talk about payment methods, they think of WeChat Pay and Micropayment. As a result, someone insisted on launching a new payment software beyond their capabilities and set a small goal for employees to grab 50% of the payment usage rate from these two giants. How is this possible? In the end, the employees were forced to apply for the software themselves and increase the download and operation volume by themselves...

Similarly, in the fast food industry, there are global chains such as KFC and McDonald's, countless small-brand hamburger shops, and "assassins" such as American hot dogs and handmade beef burgers waiting in the wings...

It would be fine if Okumura Foods had been running a fast food business for generations, but according to the information found by Bai Zhong Naoto, until 20 or 30 years ago, Okumura Foods was just a very small coffee shop, estimated to be even smaller than Le Blanc, and it was operating at a perennial deficit.

The catering industry is usually considered a highly profitable industry, and businessmen are also usually considered to be a very wealthy profession. At least this was not the case for the previous generation of Okumura Foods...

That small coffee shop only has a few regular customers, and it really is losing money to gain publicity. Although it has a good reputation, it just can't get on the right track.

This phenomenon did not change until the current CEO of Okumura Foods, Kunikazu Okumura, took office.

Okumura's first step was to reform the company's atmosphere, structure and main business direction. Then, surprisingly, he successfully transformed himself like a miracle, and finally, after more than ten years, he successfully became a world-class enterprise.

"I always thought that Cosmos Burger was a very old brand, but I didn't expect its history to be so short?"

In the secret base, Kitagawa Yusuke held his chin with one hand and expressed his confusion. With his thin figure, he was what people often call a skinny beauty. At this time, he posed like a thinker in an art gallery. He really turned himself into a work of art.

"Yes, if it's just a short period of time, it's not enough to constitute suspicion. After all, we have to accept that there are people in this world who are just lucky. Didn't an American win tens of millions of dollars in the lottery before?"

Jiang Tianwei said as he spread a pile of information on the table, which contained all kinds of information about the competitors of Okumura Enterprises.

If you have watched the famous Japanese TV series "LEGAL-HIGH" (the correct translation should be "The Winner is Justice"), you will probably remember a line: "So-called big companies are finished once their corporate image is attacked."

Moreover, there are countless examples of attacks centered around the character’s image in the plot.

Coincidentally, the rise of Okumura Foods seems to be in line with this principle. Every time when its competitors make a move, or when it has conflicts of interest with certain companies, Okumura Foods' competitors will always break out a huge scandal at the right time.

Including, but not limited to: the chef suddenly starts dancing shirtless, the deliveryman suddenly goes crazy and crashes into the guardrail and falls into the river, the storage warehouse is suddenly set on fire, the employee suddenly starts holding the camera and angrily denounces the company for being black-hearted during the interview... There are even reports that the driver suddenly loses his mind while driving, causing the car to crash and the people to die, and the company executives in the car suddenly die on the spot, which directly leads to chaos in the management...

If one thing is a coincidence, and two things are coincidences, then with so many coincidences put together, there can only be one conclusion.

"So, this Okumura Foods has the same power as us, right?"

It was the first time for Togo Ichimi to attend such a meeting. She sat upright with her hands on her knees, very nervous. And, because it was her first time, she especially wanted to perform well.

“It may not be the same as us. Maybe, Okumura Foods hired someone to carry out these actions.”

Shinjima pointed out the imperfections in her statement. The most taboo thing in this kind of reasoning is to miss out on possibilities. It is difficult to draw the correct conclusion by following the wrong direction.

"No matter what, Okumura Foods is very problematic. The evidence is this."

Jiang Tianwei opened the mobile phone APP and entered the name of Kunikazu Okumura. Then the phone began to prompt him to enter the location and source of the distortion.

Jiang Tianwei has already tried out the location. You just need to consider the places where Okumura Kuniwa stayed the longest. If nothing unexpected happens, the distorted location is the company.

But the source is unknown. But don’t worry about this, with the amazing method invented by Jiang Tianwei, the AI ​​dictionary player, exhaustive enumeration is not a problem at all.

"Oh, sorry, I'm late. Hello everyone. Oh, I didn't expect you had such a secret base."

The last one to arrive was Goro Akechi. He came in in a handsome way befitting a detective prince, like an idol from some boy band. He ruffled his hair in a way that you would only see in commercials and gave everyone a bright smile.

Yoshizawa Sumire was not very good at this kind of topic, so she simply did not participate in the discussion. At this moment, she was like a service staff, wearing a maid outfit that Jiang Tianwei got from somewhere - judging from the texture, it was not the kind of crude cosplay, but the regular employee uniform of a maid cafe.

"Tea, please."

She held a cup of iced milk tea and placed it in front of Akechi.

"Thank you. Oh, I'm so tired that my mouth is dry. I'm so sorry, I was called over because of the progress made at the police station. If it wasn't for the excuse of having lunch, I really couldn't get away - this is confidential information and cannot be made public."

Even though no one asked, Goro Akechi took the initiative to talk about the situation on his side.

"Today, someone turned himself in to the police station. He claimed to be the real murderer of the cripple! - Guys, why aren't you surprised at all?"

Goro Akechi spoke a piece of important news in a mysterious manner, but unfortunately, no one at the scene showed any doubt at all. Instead, Goro Akechi himself was confused.

"Mingzhi, this topic has passed. I caught that person."

Jiang Tianwei took a sip of the milk tea in front of him, waiting for the famous scene to appear next.

Jiang Tianwei's favorite sentence is Goro Akechi:

"what?!"

Chapter 594 Goodbye Taira Masakado

Jiang Tianwei didn't brag too much about his great achievements to Akechi Goro, but simply summarized them in two sentences, omitting all the battles and helpers. He summarized them in one sentence: The great leader of the Phantom Thieves is unparalleled in the world, and everyone is very happy to capture the mastermind behind the scenes. The banner reads: I don't care if you understand it or not! Just give it a thumbs up!

Goro Akechi couldn't tell whether he was pretending to be aloof or not trying to change the subject, so he simply followed his lead and started discussing the current issue: "Looking at the information on the table, are you planning to take action against Kunikazu Okumura?"

"Yes, according to reliable intelligence sources, I think there is a big problem between Kuni Okumura and this person."

Jiang Tianwei told his analysis to Mingzhi Wulang again, and Mingzhi nodded: "Yes, so many coincidences are connected together, it is hard not to be suspicious. So, when do we start?"

"Of course the sooner the better. Every day we delay, one more person may be killed in this world!"

When Jiang Tianwei said this, Akechi Goro asked curiously, "But, hasn't the murderer who turned into a cripple been caught?"

"Great Detective Akechi, look, how many people are there in our Phantom Thieves?"

Goro Akechi pointed his finger at them one by one, and finally pointed at himself: "Including me, there are five in total."

"There are five Phantom Thieves, so why is there only one crippled murderer? Maybe there are more! Right?"

"Yes. You are quite right."

"Besides, even if there are no other crippled murderers, I can't just leave Okumura Kunikazu alone."

Jiang Tianwei sighed, and Shin Niijima opened a webpage on his mobile phone and showed it to Goro Akechi. It was the official website of the Phantom Thieves. In the ranking of "Who do you hope will have their hearts changed", Kunikazu Okumura's name was ranked first.

However, many times, you can't just look at the rankings.

You also have to look at the gap between the first and second place. It's like failing to get into Tsinghua University, but the difference of 1 point and 700 points are two different concepts... And Kunikazu Okumura's ranking is really far ahead! To be honest, he would be a loss if he didn't make mobile phones, he is really far ahead... If it is a bar chart, you can see that Okumura's votes are obviously much higher than the second place.

The comments were filled with messages about sweatshops, exploitation of workers, unscrupulous companies, etc.

"Even if Okumura is no longer capable of harming people, we have to hurry up and rescue these people. Akechi, you probably don't know that I once worked for a shady company."

Jiang Tianwei was talking about the Chinese restaurant that he now used as his secret base.

Having once worked in a sweatshop, he knew all too well how these guys exploited and tortured their employees.
