Come to think of it, he seemed to have forgotten to strengthen contact with Kogoro Mori's family these past few days?

With their bad luck, which is like they're possessed by a bad spirit and kill people wherever they go, they'll probably be quickly dragged into some trouble when they return to Tokyo...

Perhaps, he could find out about the situation in Tokyo from the innocent genius boy with glasses?

Chapter 237: Okay, Let’s Go Now

After listening to Toru Amuro's "experience" and finding that he maintained social standards with his usual good to the point of disgusting smile and would never say anything he shouldn't, Uozuka Saburo turned sideways and began to focus on exchanging information with all parties.

Anyway, Mejiro Mitsuaki also hid her identity in the topic. As a reserve cadre of Vermouth, she may lack some experience, but she definitely has skills such as rhetoric and investigation. She must have her own sense of propriety when it comes to the identity information of herself and others, and will definitely not let him know anything else. He doesn't need to worry too much.

If anything is revealed... it would just prove the golden-haired boy's double-mindedness, and the big brother could shoot him!

Thinking grimly in his heart, Uozuka Saburo slowed his breathing, picked up his cell phone and started working seemingly unintentionally.

Naturally, he first communicated with Gin in code, saying that he had met with Amuro Toru and asked if there was anything wrong. Gin seemed to have been waiting for him to ask about this, confirmed his various guesses, and clearly told him that he was sent to cover their whereabouts.

————Although he has a kind of pathological desire to control everything in the organization, Gin is not arrogant. He knows clearly where unexpected dangers may occur and how to prevent or resolve them.

Uozuka Saburo, Mejiro Mitsuaki, Maki Ichiji, and now Amuro Toru, although they seem to have various connections with each other, they are actually opposed to each other and are a little wary of each other, which enables them to act better.

Uozuka Saburo had been following his elder brother for so many years that he was somewhat familiar with his habits in arranging things, and had no objection to this. He simply replied with a message saying "received" and a message reminding his elder brother to take care of his health, then closed the internal system and turned to another place.

The second recipient of the message was not Conan, but Silent Suzuka and several other horse girls who were close to him.

If his base is the organization, the force directly under the boss headed by Big Brother Gin, then this Central Tresen Academy is his most important base in public.

Although I didn't receive messages from the horse girls every day during the past few days, as long as there was something important that they thought was important, they would share it with Uozuka Saburo as soon as possible and ask for his opinion.

Uozuka Saburo naturally had to maintain his image as a good teacher, using his rich life experience to provide them with experience and help them overcome difficulties. Silent Suzuka was one of them. After expressing her feelings to him, this stubborn girl seemed to have her heart cleared. Although she often sent him text messages to share daily affairs, she was very sensible and would not send too many. Only occasionally, when she couldn't help it, she would send one or two messages to express her longing.

To be honest, this feeling is a bit strange... When this little girl was born, I had already been an adult for two years and had been in the underworld for five years. My life experience is much richer than hers, but I can still feel something new from her.

————Don’t get me wrong, it’s not love, but some kind of affection similar to that between siblings or father and daughter.

At that time, he always sneered at the foolishness of those who secretly kept a so-called "close female friend" outside, and he could not understand why they deliberately created such an easily breakable weakness for themselves. But when it really came to him, he found that he seemed to be the same.

In the midst of betrayal and intrigue, it feels so good to have someone you can completely confide your emotions and trust in...

Of course, Silent Suzuka is far from reaching this level now, and he is more inclined to the trust and tacit understanding of his elder brother, but he still has some feelings and can clearly know where it will develop.

So after fulfilling his daily liaison duties and ensuring that nothing major had happened in Central Tresen Academy, Uozuka Saburo directly cut off contact without giving Silent Suzuka any chance to bother him.

The third one is Conan, this little kid who can be considered his "disciple" to some extent.

Although they had only been together for a little over two days, Uozuka Saburo was very optimistic about this genius kid who loved being a detective. Not only because he was smart, but more importantly, he was very easy to control...

During the past few days since we separated, he would occasionally send a completely incomprehensible detective puzzle, or seemingly unintentionally point out some of his first floor at the time, hoping to find out some personal information from him.

His intelligence and sharpness were indeed quite high, but his methods were so crude that it was unbearable to watch. On the contrary, he easily revealed a lot of things when facing Uozuka Saburo's investigative tactics.

Even if he didn't reveal a single word, and sometimes even didn't answer at all, Uozuka Saburo was able to grasp the situation of the Mori family in real time after they returned to Tokyo.

Like now...

[Conan, did a bomb explode in Tokyo? ]

What bomb?! What do you know about last night's explosion? Damn! I knew a bomb that large couldn't be set off by just one person, especially since that guy was armed with a gun...

"..."

Well, it seems that the situation over there has really entered a white-hot state, and even the spare bombs have been used. It is inevitable that one or two forces will want to retreat and spread to the periphery... I am afraid that the train station will not be so safe anymore.

He casually sent two more ambiguous messages of speculative nature, easily diverting Conan's attention and ending the contact. Uozuka Saburo thought about it, and finally found a few contacts in the address book on the surface of the mobile phone system, selected one of them and sent a text message.

"Hey, what have you been doing since just now, Uozuka-senpai? Could it be that you've got a girlfriend?"

"...This joke is not funny at all."

Frowning and avoiding Amuro Toru's approach, Uozuka Saburo raised his head and found that several horse girls were also looking at him, without saying a word, as if they were really interested in the excuse that Amuro Toru had just made up.

"...We're just contacting a familiar horse girl trainer in Tokyo to see if he wants to go with us to the Chukyo Racecourse to watch the race." Uozuka Saburo explained helplessly.

"Oh? You have acquaintances in Tokyo?" Amuro Toru's eyes lit up and he asked casually, "Is it someone I know, senior?"

"No, we're just a guy I've met a few times and had a good chat with."

Uozuka Saburo naturally heard the hidden meaning in Amuro Toru's words, but he did not explain too much to him. He just stared at the screen of his mobile phone waiting for the other party's reply.

And his thoughts did not disappoint. With a slight vibration, a line of words appeared on his screen.

[Okay, let’s go now.]

Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but smile brightly.

Chapter 238: Why doesn’t Ma Musume suffer from school bullying?

In the next two hours, Uozuka Saburo did not try to contact anyone else, but concentrated on dealing with the black-skinned golden retriever in front of him. He was guarding against all kinds of his questions as if he were guarding against a thief, and refused to reveal any information.

This was certainly not instructed by the eldest brother or the boss, but was simply due to personal grudges and a necessary precaution against other cadres and members of the organization.

After all, he knew the nature of his own organization all too well: aside from a few die-hard fans of the boss, who knew if these "outside hires" were spies? Did they have ulterior motives? Did they suddenly want to stab him to death?

In response to this, Toru Amuro expressed his deep understanding, and to show his respect, he also launched countless verbal tests and sarcastic remarks, silently and openly and covertly making Uozuka Saburo very angry. His face turned red, but he couldn't even utter a decent counterattack.

This made Oguruma and the other two standing by very puzzled, and they also felt a little unfair towards this "acquaintance of Mr. Uozuka" psychologically.

I'm obviously very tactful when talking to them, why is it that I'm so unfriendly when it comes to Mr. Uozuka?

Do they really look down on their teachers or what?

Fortunately, Toru Amuro, who was as smart as a monkey, discovered the other party's "strategy" in time and successfully withdrew from the conversation before the horse girls looked at him even more unfriendly. He told them that if they needed anything, they could come to the car in front to find him and he would never refuse.

Watching Amuro Toru leave the carriage, Uozuka Saburo breathed a sigh of relief. Turning back, he saw three people looking at him with different, but somewhat worried, expressions. He couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"...Brother, is that person really your descendant?"

As usual, Oguruma, who usually spoke the least, was the first to ask, and the confusion in his words was very obvious: "Why do I feel that he and Big Brother don't have a past, but rather a little... a little..."

"It feels a bit like there's a grudge." Zhenqi, who was very sensitive to other people's ill intentions, confirmed it word for word. "You must have offended him before, and he's always been holding a grudge. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated you like this."

"Haha~ I wouldn't say it was an offense, it was just some ordinary playful stuff."

For example, pointing guns at each other with the safety on, or attacking each other with bare hands without holding back.

"But please be careful with Uozuka-sensei and don't trust him too much."

Having just asked Vermouth, Mubai Guangming knew that the other party was an official codename cadre, but he became even more wary of him. He stared at the black-clad burly man with a pointed look and said, "Some things you think are just jokes, but he sees them as an affront to his dignity. He even thinks that after returning home and thinking about it, he suddenly feels that you look down on him and even has murderous intentions towards you. People like this do exist in this world. You can't take it lightly, can you?"

Hey~ How could I not know that he wanted to kill me?

At that time, the kid had already pulled the trigger halfway, and even a blind person could see the murderous look in his eyes.

If Brother Gin hadn't also put a Beretta on his head, the square head you see today would not be a quadrilateral, but a pentagon!

"Don't worry, he's not as bad as you think." Uozuka Saburo shook his head and smiled, "Even if he is really that bad, your Uozuka teacher will be a little worse than him!"

"..."

"..."

"...I hope so."

Seeing the worry still in their eyes, Uozuka Saburo checked his watch and saw that the train would arrive at Tokyo Station in less than an hour. He casually continued chatting with them on this topic. "By the way, I've always had a lot of doubts about you horse girls. Could you please help me clear them up?"

"Confuse?"

"You say."

"Tell me everything you know."

"Well, don't be so nervous. It's just a simple little problem."

After a pause, Uozuka Saburo organized his words and tried to use a less biased tone to ask, "Have you...since you started at Tresen, including places like Kasamatsu and Central Tresen, really never seen anything like bullying on campus?"

This is a phenomenon that continues to occur in modern school education in Japan, or even the world over. Whether it is in Britain, France, the United States, Germany, China, Japan, South Korea or Thailand, this situation is inevitable wherever students gather.

Japan is one of the countries most seriously affected.

Saburo Uozuka always thought that this kind of thing was normal, because he always agreed with an old saying in China: Where there are people, there are grievances, and where there are grievances, there is the world of martial arts.

Intelligent creatures are naturally unruly, and aggression towards other individuals of the same species is an innate instinct. Therefore, it is normal for them to frequently see competitions to test their own strength and fights to determine who is superior and who is inferior.

But since he came to Tresen more than a month ago, he seemed to have never seen such a situation happen between horse girls?

Not to mention that he didn't see it because he had been there for too short a time. He had even discovered the "specialty" of Teresin, the "Horse Jump". The entire Central Teresin had no more secrets for him. How could he not have seen it?

Moreover, he felt that if there was any bullying on campus, those strong-willed horse girls would definitely be exposed immediately. How could they possibly hide?

Therefore, as a strong advocate of the saying "human nature is evil", Uozuka Saburo never believed that such a group of horse girls with physical fitness more than three times that of adult men would not try to use this power to oppress their own kind?

The mermaids in the Seto group often eat fish. Isn't this completely wrong from a biological point of view?

“““…?”””

The three horse girls looked at each other, and finally Oguruma and Mejiro Mitsukoshi turned to look at Zhenqi Yizi: If you ask who among them has the most authority to answer this question, it must be her, the horse girl who once retired due to a broken leg, worked in society for more than a year, and then returned to school.

"...Well, I'm not sure..."

Smoothing half of her curly hair, Zhenqi thought for a moment, shrugged, and said, "Maybe it's because I judge others by my own standards, thinking that other pony girls won't have any ill will towards me, and I won't have any ill will towards them either, that's why there's no bullying... I guess."

Chapter 239 Oh, Uma no man

"But aren't you always in competition with each other?"

Uozuka Saburo couldn't accept this answer and continued, "Although there are many races and everyone can run many events every year, there is only one first place in each race. Sometimes you prepare for so long, overcome so many difficulties and obstacles, and endure so much hardship, but in the end, you miss your dream by just a tiny margin before the finish line. Isn't it unbearable?"

"Of course I'm not willing to accept this! I'm extremely unwilling to accept this, okay?"

"Then why not try a little 'off-field effort'?"

"Huh? Off-site, um...this."

"...Perhaps it's because a victory like that feels meaningless."

Besides Oguruma, Shinki Ichi and Mejiro Mitsuaki were both able to understand Uozuka Saburo's words. So when the former was momentarily lost for words, the latter spoke up for her, "Running isn't as important to us as it is to Oguruma, where it's almost everything else besides eating, but it still plays a very important role. We can accept using various strategies, techniques, and even small tricks to disrupt each other and win during a race, but we absolutely cannot accept relying on other means to bully and disrupt the opponent's condition to win the race."

"That's right! That's, how should I put it?"

Zhenqi thought for a moment and said, "Right! 'Not just about winning the game, but also about surpassing the opponent and further confirming one's own strength.' That's probably the feeling, right?"

"Yeah, me too."

Oguruma nodded solemnly.

To confirm my own strength...that's a good reason.

After mentally simulating this mentality, Uozuka Saburo tentatively accepted the explanation, but he didn't stop asking questions. Instead, he continued, "Well, I understand you're unwilling to resort to trickery to win the competition, but haven't you ever encountered some particularly annoying bastards in your daily life who you just couldn't wait to get rid of?"

"Of course there are! Some ponygirls are really foul-mouthed and like to get physical, making you want to give them a good beating!"

Zhenqi said this very experiencedly.

"So? You've beaten up other horsegirls?"

"Uh, well, I've been beaten."

"you win?"

"Of course!"

"And then? You didn't tell her to beat her up every time you saw her, to control her to buy lunch, or to bully her if you didn't like her?"

"How is that possible!? I wouldn't do something like that!"

Zhenqi said, waving her hands vigorously. She suddenly felt curious about how she was perceived by the boss. "We'll just argue, and if we can't win, we'll just fight. It won't escalate to such a nasty level... Or rather, what's the point of doing this? I don't understand it at all."
