Gin likes me?

322: Well, as long as you are happy~

"Yes, originally Rum was a little suspicious of you, but after my performance, I think he should be sure that you are dead."

Sitting in a Western-style breakfast shop downstairs from an apartment building, where Saburo Uozuka was considered a regular customer, Saburo Uozuka was eating freshly baked bread while speaking incoherently with his cell phone between his legs.

"What? I shouldn't call you directly? Don't worry. The biggest difference between you and me is that, in addition to being better at killing people, I am also a capable person in the organization in terms of detecting and designing electronic devices. Do you remember the Kimura Ying who once taught me a course? He is the most powerful hacker in our organization's Neon region. As for me, I have been learning from him, so I know more about whether the phone is monitored or not."

"By the way, I have a name for my drink now, um, it's called Vodka. Are you too lazy to think of a new name? Even though this name doesn't sound very cool, I'm used to it."

"Don't worry, I know. You should get your affairs in order as soon as possible. I must be careful on my side. I am so young and I still have a bright future, right?"

"Okay, that's it." After hanging up the phone with a curse, Uozuka Saburo picked up the still warm milk and took a sip.

Yes, just as he said, he knew exactly whether his phone was being monitored or not, and he was not worried at all that his phone calls would be noticed by the organization.

However, he will definitely be careful not to do such things. After all, he is now a middle or senior level in the organization and a well-known figure. If he is not careful, big problems will still arise.

Apart from anything else, Saburo Uozuka was already a little confused about the various arrangements that Rum had made for the Neon region organization.

If it were in the past, I could still do it with vodka... Um, I shouldn't have asked Zhang Yi to discuss it, but now, I really have to fight alone.

However, this cannot be said completely~

Looking at the long-distance number that lit up on his cell phone, Uozuka Saburo wiped his mouth in embarrassment.

He originally wanted to be more proactive, but he didn't expect that Kurosawa Hotaru was faster than him.

"Hey, big sister, how are you doing over there~"

"I didn't interrupt you. Really. Didn't I just return to Neon yesterday? I was too tired and fell asleep right after returning home. I just woke up and am having breakfast now. I was just about to call you. Really, you have to believe me!"

"What? I was on the phone just now... Well, that was Kimura Ying, yes, that Kimura guy. He knew I was back, and wanted to invite me and Da Men to drink together in the evening. Uh, don't worry, big sister, we are just going to drink, we won't go to those messy places, don't you believe me!"

After much persuasion, he finally calmed down Kurosawa Hotaru, who was far away from him but had a more accurate judgment of his actions. Uozuka Saburo wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and picked up the milk that was already a little cold.

"Huh, what a mess. Originally, I never lied to Big Sister, but now I'm used to telling lies. If Big Sister hadn't been too lazy to expose me, I don't know how much I would have lost face. This person really can change."

"People always change with time, don't they? If someone remains unchanged, it will be strange. Can I sit here, sir? There is no suitable seat left."

"You've already sat down, why are you still asking me why?" With his eyes tilted to the side, he glanced with amusement at the man sitting opposite him, then smiled and shook his head.

"I'm very curious about why you contacted me so urgently and boldly chose a breakfast shop as the meeting place."

"Mr. Mori."

. . .

"So, is your intimate time with your little boyfriend over?"

Slowly putting away the phone, Kurosawa Hotaru looked coldly at Vermouth who was looking at him with a teasing expression and making jokes beside him, and then looked away.

They have been working together for two years, and Kurosawa Hotaru will no longer make any big moves because of Vermouth's teasing.

If he was so impulsive every time, after two years, Kurosawa Hotaru didn't know how many pistols he would have to replace in order to reduce his weapon consumption.

"I've said it before, Xiaoying, when facing a boy, even if you know a lot of things, you can't let the other party know that you know, understand? It's not good to let a boy feel that everything is under your control~"

"People like that don't deserve to stand by my side." After answering Vermouth coldly, Kurosawa Hotaru picked up the telescope again and looked at their mission target tonight.

"Oh, I really feel sorry for Uozuka-san. He is so gentle to you, but you are not considerate at all~" The sarcastic words made Kurosawa Hotaru frown slightly, and she turned her head and looked at Vermouth calmly.

She knew that although Vermouth would occasionally make fun of matters concerning Uozuka Saburo, she would never mention it in such a special tone.

Vermouth wouldn't want to have a conflict with herself because of Uozuka Saburo, so...

"What is it that Uozuka is hiding from me?"

"It seems a bit inappropriate for me to interfere with what Uozuka-kun didn't say to you... Well~ you are such an impatient girl." Looking at the dagger shining brightly in the moonlight, Vermouth raised her hand in defeat, but there was still a smile on her face.

"It's not a big deal, but next time I see him, I won't be able to call him Brother Uozuka easily. After all, the organization has its own rules~"

"..."

"What should I call you then? Vodka brother, that doesn't sound nice. I'd better call you Uozuka brother. I don't think Uozuka brother will mind anyway."

Her eyes widened instantly, and Kurosawa Hotaru flashed in front of Vermouth, staring at Vermouth's eyes.

"What you said is true!"

"How could I lie to you about such a thing, Xiaoying~" She shrugged. Although she knew that Kurosawa Hotaru's reaction would be very strong, even Vermouth felt a little flustered when being stared at like that. At this moment, she felt as if she had gone too far.

"..." Without answering Vermouth's words, Kurosawa Hotaru just turned around slowly and returned to her surveillance position. However, the surging breath made Vermouth know that at the moment Kurosawa Hotaru was far from being as shocked as she appeared.

"Let me handle tonight's operation alone, Vermouth."

"Well, as long as you are happy~"

323: I'm ready, Mr. Kurosawa

"Since I'm doing this, of course I'm prepared."

Chuckling and shaking his head, Kogoro Maori picked up the coffee and took a sip, then looked at Saburo Uozuka sitting opposite him with a smile as he handed a color to his 10 o'clock.

"My current open action is to track the man who his wife suspects of cheating on him. It shouldn't be a problem for me to eat at the same breakfast shop as the target. We just happened to share a table."

"Haha, you are really thinking more and more clearly now." Looking at Kogoro Mouri with amusement, Uozuka Saburo picked up his bread and took another bite.

"After all, I have been familiar with this job for two years, and I know most of the things I should pay attention to. This is not the first time I have encountered danger due to mistakes."

Shaking his head with amusement, Kogoro Mori looked at his plate with a very natural expression, and kept the sound of his mouth within the range that Uozuka Saburo could hear.

Kogoro Mori was right. Although he decided to follow Uozuka Saburo in private actions at the beginning, there are some things that Kogoro Mori cannot erase simply by willpower.

Completely different from his previous style of action when he was in the police academy and as a policeman, Kogoro Mouri tried very hard to adapt to the change of identity in the shortest time possible.

From a policeman to a private investigator.

However, Kogoro Mouri was not able to adapt quickly to his secret identity as a dark walker who fought violence with violence and used any means necessary to obtain the information and things he needed.

After all, he has been a policeman for so many years, and he has become accustomed to many ideas and bottom lines. When he acts with a new identity, these ideas and bottom lines have become the most ancestral things of Umi Mori Kogoro.

There were even two times when Kogoro Mori would have died from his own mistakes if Uozuka Saburo had not come to the rescue.

Of course, overall, Uozuka Saburo is still very satisfied with Mori Kogoro.

This man's willpower and ability to act far exceeded his imagination. Although he struggled with the differences between his past and present at the beginning, after being rescued by Uozuka Saburo and ridiculed several times, he quickly strengthened his beliefs.

Yes, now that I have chosen this path, I can no longer hesitate, and judging from the results, my choice was not wrong. Following Uozuka Saburo, although there are big differences in some practices, the results achieved are real.

Apart from anything else, at the request of Uozuka Saburo, Mori Kogoro has successfully eliminated three "gray companies" whose ostensible identities make it impossible for the police to conduct detailed investigations, but which are very easy to deal with using their current identities.

Such results are a great comfort to Kogoro Mori, and also the motivation for him to continue to persevere.

Because he had not eradicated such a company and group with so many "lines", the families and innocent people that could be saved from the sidelines would definitely be more than the cases he handled every year when he was an identity policeman.

"Tell me, why are you so anxious to contact me? I was abroad and just came back yesterday."

"It's like this. You contacted me before you left and asked me to continue to carefully monitor the department manager of that company. I have also been keeping an eye on him, and finally three days ago, I found something wrong." Kogoro Mouri said in a low voice, his fingers lightly running across the coffee cup in his hand.

"It's true what we guessed before. That department manager is indeed secretly connected with a criminal organization in Tokyo, helping them to carry out money-swindling operations. The most important thing is that the department manager's name is a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division, Corporate Investigation 2nd Division. This is of great help to his actions."

"It's him indeed. This is really a difficult situation." With a slight flicker in his eyes, Uozuka Saburo took out his mobile phone and sent an email to contact Daimon Miyuki.

Uozuka Saburo trusts the information and target persons from Kogoro Mori, because at least so far, all the criminals discovered by Uozuka Saburo are people he knew through the organization's intelligence network.

Moreover, most of them are people who have been in contact with the organization before, but now have no use to the organization, or people who the organization wants to deal with.

For such groups and individuals, Uozuka Saburo sold them to Mori Kogoro and asked him to help deal with them, and he had no psychological burden at all to report them.

What a joke, you have chosen to cooperate with the organization, how can it be a good thing?

Of course, those who were forced into prostitution by the organization are not counted. Such information is still easy for Uozuka Saburo to analyze.

"Yes, and from what I observed, he seemed to have discovered something and might have prepared to escape."

"You're right. He has indeed made preparations for his escape, and his preparations are very complete." The phone vibrated slightly. Looking at the reply email from Miyuki Daimon, Uozuka Saburo nodded slightly. He had already made a judgment in his mind.

"He has already bought a flight ticket for tomorrow morning and is ready to leave Neon."

"Then I'll make an anonymous call now and report the evidence we collected to expose this person? Let the Metropolitan Police Department send someone to deal with him." Kogoro Mouri spoke in an urgent tone, exerting a little force on the fingers holding the coffee cup.

Being targeted by Uozuka Saburo and Mori Kogoro, the department manager's crime was certainly not as simple as just making money. It would not be an exaggeration to describe his crimes as innumerable.

"No, this kind of action is not appropriate. There are too many connections involving this person, and there are many people hiding behind him that we haven't discovered yet. If we let him be caught by the police and exposed to other people's sight, it will not be so easy for us to continue the investigation." Shaking his head, Saburo Uozuka rejected Kogoro Mori's proposal.

"Then what should we do?" Betsuka Saburo refused, but Mori Kogoro was not in a hurry.

After two years of getting along, he knew very well what kind of talent this young man, who was only 20 years old this year, was.

He will handle any problems that arise, but gradually as they get along, Uozuka Saburo brings confidence to Mori Kogoro.

"Fortunately, although he is a connection hub, he is also the one who was thrown out to be responsible for the exposure. In this case, we can do something better."

Tapping the table lightly with his fingers, Uozuka Saburo actually had a plan already.

"Kill him. This is the most unpolice-like method. It will buy us some time."

"Killing him? That's indeed a solution."

"Well, and this time the assassination will be done by you, Mr. Maori."

"..."

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem, I'm ready, Mr. Kurosawa."

324: Uozuka Saburo has become more skilled

After confirming that he would take action against the target person tonight, Kogoro Mouri did not stay any longer. He walked out of the store lightly following the cheating object who had also finished his meal and was openly targeted by him.

As for Saburo Uozuka, after finishing his bread and milk, he asked the waiter to take away his plate, ordered another cup of coffee, sat on the table by the window, and slowly enjoyed the morning sunshine.

"This is what it feels like to be on vacation." He squinted his eyes in enjoyment, but even though it was a vacation, Uozuka Saburo did not completely empty his mind.

He had already decided on the arrangement for Kogoro Mori. In the beginning, Uozuka Saburo simply couldn't bear it and wanted to see if he could train Kogoro Mori to become his helper in the future when it was inconvenient for him to show up in public.

But after two years of observation, Uozuka Saburo felt that if he only let Maori Kogoro handle those small matters, it would be too insulting to his abilities.

What's more, as Kogoro Mori continued to complete the tasks given to him by Saburo Uozuka, he really went deeper into this quagmire as he wished. At this stage, it is no longer possible to withdraw.

Therefore, since there is no way to completely get rid of Kogoro Mori, the only thing we can do is to make Kogoro Mori adapt to this quagmire better.

Therefore, killing with one's own hands is a must!

Kogoro Mori, who had been working under Saburo Uozuka for two years, was already prepared for this.

Kogoro Mori was already very familiar with the tactic of fighting violence with violence. He also knew that Saburo Uozuka had always avoided personally dealing with people who could not be seen in public due to concerns.

But today, when Saburo Uozuka made this request, Kogoro Mori knew that it was time to continue to stand firm in his beliefs.

"The assassination at night is not a difficult task. According to the distribution of points given by the gate, it is just a sniper attack at about 260 meters. With Mao Li's two years of training, he should be able to take it down easily." Playing with the spoon with his fingers, Uozuka Saburo slowly opened his eyes and casually looked at the passers-by outside the window.

"I am more curious about what Rum will do for me next."

That’s right, this problem is what bothers Uozuka Saburo the most right now.

Rum's conversation that day was definitely not a joke. Before he was awake this morning, the news of his appointment change had already arrived on his mobile phone. At the same time, the email also told Uozuka Saburo many updated rights and benefits after he became a liquor manager.

I have to say, that treatment really made Uozuka Saburo jealous!

You know, in the previous two years, because Kurosawa Hotaru left Uozuka Saburo, the money that Uozuka Saburo could control was only his monthly basic salary and the commission he received as a reward after completing a task.

But for Uozuka Saburo in Tokyo, it was definitely not possible to just feed one person and satisfy the whole family.

Every month, she would use various methods to provide living assistance to the Miyano sisters; there was also Asai Narimi, who had obtained a full scholarship with excellent grades and had enough funds to maintain a high-quality life through internship with her teacher, but she never told this to Uozuka Saburo, and instead waited with a smile for Uozuka Saburo to transfer money every month; oh, and there was also Akiba Reiko, who also provided financial support for a period of time in the early days, but later seriously refused Uozuka Saburo's money to help her grandfather in the hospital, but never refused the gifts given to her by Uozuka Saburo every time they met, and even had an expectant expression, so that Uozuka Saburo had to prepare new gifts every time.

As for the money spent on buying gifts and playing for Suzuki Ayako and Hagiwara Chihiro's dates, and the gifts he gave from time to time to that girl Suzuki Sonoko, and even occasionally brought his close partner, the little girl Mori Ran, the daughter of Mori Kogoro, they were even more insignificant.

So, in the past two years, Uozuka Saburo has been living in poverty! Sometimes he even had no choice but to borrow money from Daimon Miyuki and Kimura Taka.

It was not until his abilities and stamina were improved a lot in the later period, and he was able to maintain a high-intensity task acceptance and completion frequency, that Rum felt that it was not good to let Saburo Uozuka continue to complete tasks like this, and he quietly improved Saburo Uozuka's treatment. Only then did Saburo Uozuka settle down again.

As for where Uozuka Saburo's money went, Rum no longer cared after learning about the relationship between Uozuka Saburo and the Miyano sisters, and that there was a private doctor who was in poor health but was a genius and needed Uozuka Saburo's support and sold himself.

There are so many things going on in Tokyo, how can he manage it all?

But at the same time, the increased treatment represents a change in Saburo Uozuka's status and responsibilities within the organization.

Now it was Rum who let Uozuka Saburo rest, but Uozuka Saburo was also very curious about what position he would be assigned to in the Neon organization controlled by Rum.
