Gin likes me?

Rather, after combining his understanding of the organization and Rum, Zhang Yi had already taken Uozuka Saburo into account when deciding on this plan.

He calculated Uozuka Saburo's character, calculated the relationship between Uozuka Saburo and himself, and gambled all his trust in Uozuka Saburo.

Then he succeeded.

In fact, Uozuka Saburo had no intention of complaining about this.

Being able to escape is Zhang Yi's ability, and it can also be said that the timing, location and people are all right. I don't mind helping Zhang Yi in this regard.

After all, one still has to call the other person Master, and Zhang Yi has indeed done everything a master can do in more than two years of getting along.

Just as Zhang Yi had lamented before, his relationship with Uozuka Saburo was very unique in the entire organization.

As for myself... the first thing I have to solve is not whether there is anyone who can help me cover up.

"Alas, the Big Sister didn't contact me after completing the mission last night. I guess she already knew from Vermouth that I had obtained the name of the wine."

Covering his forehead with his hands due to the headache, Saburo Uozuka felt really tired.

Although he knew that Vermouth might not help cover up this matter as he thought, and might even take the initiative to ask Kurosawa Hotaru to work harder, the problem was...

"The big sister has tried very hard. She herself is not good at adjusting her body and balancing work and rest. Wouldn't this make her even more anxious, this damn Vermouth." With an unhappy click of the tongue, the most helpless thing for Uozuka Saburo was that he had no way to call Kurosawa Hotaru now and ask her to take care of her health or something.

I should never have gotten the name for the wine before Kurosawa Hotaru.

"Damn it, could it be that Rum guy and Vermouth teamed up to plot against me and Big Sister?"

After putting out the cigarette in his hand, which was almost burned out after only a few puffs, Saburo Uozuka sat up straight, thought for a moment, and then stood up from the sofa.

"It's already afternoon, let's go shoot a few shots." With a slight change in his eyes, Saburo Uozuka picked up his clothes, pushed open the apartment door and walked out.

. . .

"I am coming."

In the bathhouse filled with white steam, Uozuka Saburo slowly took off the towel covering his face and turned to look at Mouri Kogoro who was sitting next to him.

"It seems that you really keep training at the shooting club every week."

"That's natural, because my ability is not up to standard yet." Nodding slightly, Kogoro Mori was not happy about Uozuka Saburo's praise. On the contrary, the expression on his face was frighteningly serious.

"I received a message from Mr. Ishikawa. Something happened that made you, Mr. Kurosawa, meet me in this way."

"Ah, it's something I have some doubts about. As for what the final result will be, I can't judge it now." Shaking his head slightly, facing the inquiry of Kogoro Mori, Uozuka Saburo did not explain the matter clearly at the first time.

After a day of self-examination, Saburo Uozuka was able to confirm that there was no problem with his several meetings with Kogoro Mori. Even if the organization investigated, they could only find out that he and Kogoro Mori were friends who met because they became members of the same shooting club.

After all, Uozuka Saburo never said anything out of line to Mori Kogoro on the phone.

"I understand. What do you need me to do?" Kogoro Mouri nodded slightly, his eyes becoming more serious.

Based on the impression of Saburo Uozuka in Kogoro Mori's mind, Kogoro Mori felt that he should have guessed what had happened to Saburo Uozuka.

"After you go back today, find an excuse to temporarily stop your detective work. I need you to be ready to act at any time. Also, keep the rifle with you. If it is not a very serious matter, do not contact me and wait for my contact. Okay, Mr. Maori?"

"No problem, I'll be ready!"

"Well, please."

331: Why did you come to Neon?

"How was your break, Vodka."

"To be honest, I haven't had such a long vacation in a long time. In the past, there were always various unexpected events that interrupted my vacation. It's rare for me to enjoy a vacation from beginning to end like today."

Smiling and shaking his head, Saburo Uozuka, holding up his mobile phone, seemed particularly natural and familiar.

Without considering other factors, Saburo Uozuka knew that Rum's attitude towards him was very friendly.

A good subordinate who is truly cultivated by the organization, has a clean and traceable background, has outstanding abilities and completes tasks smoothly and decisively, and has a deep relationship with the organization and a very low possibility of betrayal. This is extremely rare for Japanese organizations nowadays.

Not to mention, Uozuka Saburo is the youngest cadre to have obtained the title of wine in the organization at this stage, which is a remarkable record.

Judging from the current outlook, perhaps only Kurosawa Hotaru, who is far away abroad with Vermouth on a mission, has the possibility of breaking Uozuka Saburo's record.

Such subordinates must of course be taken good care of, not to mention that in the eyes of Saburo Uozuka, the current Japanese organization is very short of high-end members that can be used.

"Well, just take a good rest. The organization has a new task for you to handle."

Although his attitude was good, Rum's character was always a little impatient and he didn't have much in the mood to exchange pleasantries.

Coincidentally, Uozuka Saburo was also very happy that Rum had such an attitude.

If Rum's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, Uozuka Saburo would feel scared.

Until the danger from Kimura Takashi is completely eliminated, Uozuka Saburo must be cautious.

Never underestimate any member of an organization. Kimura Taka can be said to have made Uozuka Saburo realize once again the meaning of this principle.

"I don't have a problem with that. What's the mission?"

"According to the information provided by the organization in Magnesium Country, a target person will arrive in Neon Tokyo tonight. It is suspected that he wants to meet with a certain force here and conduct a transaction."

"Suspected? In other words, I need to confirm this suspicion, right?" Raising his eyebrows, Saburo Uozuka, who was already familiar with the organization's mission process, guessed his mission.

"Yes, this is the top priority possibility, but not complete." Rum did not feel dissatisfied after hearing Saburo Uozuka's interruption.

Just as Uozuka Saburo had imagined, Rum was tolerant enough towards his attitude.

"The top priority is to find out why she came to Neon and see if there's any chance the organization can get involved. If not, find out who the other party to the transaction is and what the transaction item is. It would be best if these goals can be achieved, but of course it doesn't matter if they can't."

There was a slight pause in his speech, and although the voice did not change, Uozuka Saburo could clearly feel the cold and dead atmosphere slowly seeping towards him from the phone.

"No matter what, the final mission is to kill the person who is trading with the target mission. Remember, the killing must be witnessed by the target person."

"Show your strength?" Pursing his lips, Uozuka Saburo spoke softly.

"That's right, show your strength, because this mission is more important in the near future. Although I believe in your ability, Vodka, there will always be times when one person is too busy to handle everything." His tone became relaxed again, as if Rum was very happy that Uozuka Saburo could keep up with his thinking.

"I have two new members transferred from the Magnesium Organization. They are members of the action team. Let them meet and talk to you in detail about their expertise. They are good at both strength assessment and internal evaluation of the organization. I think they can help you. And you, as an old man in Neon, can guide them and let them get familiar with the action style here as soon as possible."

"Newcomers? I see." His eyes flickered slightly, and Uozuka Saburo did not raise any different opinions. He knew that this matter had been determined when Rum said it. Now he could only hope that the two newcomers he would meet in the future would not be the kind of troublesome guys.

"However, are there any members of the action team in the organization who are not troublesome?" Subconsciously curling his lips, Uozuka Saburo, who was very familiar with the working style of the action team in the organization, had already given up this hope.

After all, there are very few people in the action team who are as non-competitive as Daimon Miyuki, and strictly speaking, Daimon Miyuki is not a real member of the organization.

"Well, one more thing is that this operation is entirely under your control. If you feel that you need anything, just contact me directly and I will let the organization allocate resources to you."

“What does the resource include?”

"Everything in the organization except the experimental group."

"...I understand." His heart skipped a beat. Uozuka Saburo did not expect Rum to say such a thing.

The level of support was far beyond what Uozuka Saburo had imagined, and this made Uozuka Saburo nervous.

What kind of mission difficulty would allow Rum to feel at ease with such an attitude?

"Well, I'll email you the location of the two people waiting for you later. The meeting time is set for two hours. Contact me if you need anything."

"Yes, I will complete this task, Mr. Rum."

"I also believe that you, who have acquired the name of Vodka, will not mess up your 'first mission'."

"This is my first mission... This guy is really brave to say that." Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Uozuka Saburo clicked his tongue and muttered in a low voice.

"Another troublesome mission. Really? Is there no one else in the Neon Organization?"

. . .

"Hey, how long do you think we have to wait here?"

Leaning back in his chair impatiently, Chianti looked around, not even bothering to touch the coffee in front of him.

"Chianti, we've only been here for 30 minutes." Cohen raised his head and tried to comfort his partner while eating the strawberry sundae spoonfully.

"There are still 10 minutes left until the agreed time. Don't worry."

"I'm not in a hurry! I'm just not satisfied!" With his hands on the table, Chianti moved his face closer to Cohen who was wearing sunglasses.

"We are doing well in our mission in Magnesium, so why did you suddenly transfer us to Japan?"

"I don't know. I heard it was Rum's request."

"Tsk, that guy Rum. I heard that the Neon Organization has caused quite a bit of turmoil in the past two years under his control." Chianti leaned back and glanced away again.

"I don't know what kind of trouble we'll get into."

"I don't know what kind of trouble you're involved in, but for now, I have some small opinions about your attention and vigilance, Miss Chianti."

"Um!?"

332: Mission Begins

Chianti turned his head suddenly and subconsciously tried to stand up by supporting himself on the table.

However, when her butt just left the chair, she felt a huge and irresistible force pressing on her shoulders, making it impossible for her to get up freely.

"Okay, calm down. Just based on this performance, I think Mr. Cohen over here is much worse than you." Holding down Chianti who was about to explode with one hand, Saburo Uozuka turned his head with a smile and looked at Cohen, who was wearing sunglasses like himself.

"You observed me when I walked into this coffee shop, and also paid attention to me when I approached. You are very alert and attentive. Okay, now you can loosen your hand on the gun. We met here. If there is any trouble, I will have a hard time explaining to Rum."

Cohen blinked his eyes behind the sunglasses, and obediently loosened his right hand, placing both hands on the table, but his eyes never left Uozuka Saburo's face.

"No, I didn't catch the moment you sat down. You're very capable." Cohen shook his head slightly, his tone calm, but he was already nervous in his heart.

Unlike Chianti, Cohen, who has always been vigilant, has been paying attention to the customers coming in and out of the coffee shop, and watching the pedestrians passing by the window.

But he clearly noticed Uozuka Saburo walking into the store and noticed his actions, but when Uozuka Saburo approached him, he lost sight of him.

This is incredible for a sniper.

This means that the person in front of him has the ability to directly threaten his life!

"Who are you!" Chianti turned his head to look at Uozuka Saburo unhappily, and when he saw that his partner Cohen had no intention of taking action, he understood something and slapped Uozuka Saburo's hand away, rubbed his shoulder which was a little painful from Uozuka Saburo's pressure, and his tone was not so kind.

"Of course it's the person you're meeting today. You don't think that someone would casually approach you, do you?" Looking at Chianti and Cohen beside him with amusement, Saburo Uozuka picked up the coffee he had just ordered and took a sip.

This statement is not meant to be sarcastic. Judging from their appearance, the two members of the organization in front of them are really intimidating.

Cohen, who was a bit dull and spoke in a strange tone, had no outstanding appearance. His body was wrapped in clothes, and his hair on both sides looked messy under the pressure of the hat. Moreover, the two round-lens sunglasses did not have the handsome feeling that ordinary sunglasses embodied. Instead, they made Cohen look even more silly.

As for Chianti, who was wearing a tight leather jacket on the other side... Just the dressing style alone was hard for Uozuka Saburo to accept. Although she had a good figure and her short hair looked quite capable, her appearance was not shabby and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was exquisite.

However, the temperament on her face that says "Don't mess with me, or I'll beat you to death" is matched with the arrogant butterfly tattoo on her left eye.

Really, Saburo Uozuka felt that the coffee shop owner was very service-oriented by allowing these two people to come into the store and sit down.

"Chianti and Cohen, I'm Vodka, thank you for your kindness, it's our first meeting."

"Vodka, no, I know Vodka, she is not like you at all!" Staring at Uozuka Saburo with his eyes fixed, Chianti's vigilance, which had been somewhat lowered, suddenly increased again.

I know what Vodka said. Could it be that this person in front of me wants to deceive me and Cohen by using Vodka's name?

"You are Vodka. I've heard about you. You're awesome. Nice to meet you." Unlike Chianti, Cohen on the other side nodded as if he had suddenly realized something after hearing Saburo Uozuka's self-introduction.

"What do you mean, Cohen?" Looking at his partner in confusion, Chianti suddenly felt as if he was the only one who was out of the situation.

"He is the new vodka of the organization. He is very powerful. He is the one who cursed when Chianti saw the intelligence before."

"...Ah, it's that perverted guy who got the name of the wine at the age of 20 this year!" Following Cohen's guidance, Chianti's expression suddenly became surprised, as if he didn't realize that he was saying his previous evaluation in front of the person involved.

"This is a recognition of my strength. I'm very happy too." The eyes behind the sunglasses narrowed slightly. After a few simple sentences, Uozuka Saburo had already figured out some of the personalities of the two people in front of him.

Uozuka Saburo would not be angry about people who speak their mind.

Well, I definitely won’t be angry!

"I believe you all have some understanding of me, so please introduce yourselves."

"Cohen, a Class C member of the organization's action team, a full-time sniper, with an A sniping rating and a B- in close combat rating."

"Chianti, also a C-class sniper, has the same rating as Cohen, but is a B in close combat, and has no other specialties."

"I understand." Nodding slightly, Uozuka Saburo looked at Chianti and Cohen carefully.

In the organization's rating, A-level sniping ability is already very good. It should be noted that this is the ability rating of formal members, not the results of assessment in the training camp.

According to Saburo Uozuka himself, his sniping score is only B.

but.

"C-class members, they are special members trained by the organization. No wonder two people with wine names appeared at once. I was shocked."
