Zongman, working as a teaching assistant in Trasen

However, for some reason, the Americans, who possess such powerful technical capabilities, did not invest more heavily in research and development. Instead, they gradually hid it twenty years ago near the turn of the century. Even the organization only knew about the existence of such a technology through hearsay, but had never seen the real thing.

But I didn’t know that he would see it here now!

Speaking of which, the information shows that Congressman Armstrong was also involved in the peripheral development of this technology, and he participated in it through a private company under his name. He only gradually rose to prominence after the project disappeared...

For so many years, they've kept a low profile, not even revealing their possession of this technology during foreign wars as an arms dealer. But who would have thought they'd be able to practically transform it twenty years ago?! This is truly...

"...Brother, Uozuka-san?"

"Ok?"

Waking up from his runaway thoughts, Uozuka Saburo looked at Yagami Kaku, whose eyes had a complicated look in front of him, and his mind suddenly became clear.

Yes... This is definitely a confidential item of Yagami Jue, or the international arms dealer Armstrong family. If I really treat it as a trading secret to be collected, it would be against the rules.

————At least from now on, he and Yagami Kaku can no longer be brothers.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, the burly man in black quickly collected himself. He took a deep breath and said, "You...really trust me too much, Brother Yagami...let's talk about this matter after this is over. Before then, and even in the future, you must not let anyone else know about this—not even the 'others' on our side!"

"Haha! I knew you wouldn't let me down!!"

After hearing what Uozuka Saburo said, Yagami Kaku's expression quickly brightened up, and he said with endless relief and joy: "To be honest, I didn't intend to shoot this video. Secondly, it was accidentally recorded by a passerby during the battle. I wanted to sell it for a good price without making a fuss. If that person hadn't happened to run into Brother Kiryu on his inspection when he was leaving, I wouldn't even know that I almost revealed such a big flaw..."

"Oh~ I see."

Uozuka Saburo nodded, and finally he understood why Kiryu Kazuma withdrew from the Tokyo battlefield with Yagami Kaku - it was not to stay away from the battle, but to protect Yagami Kaku so that he could have a brother who knew the inside story to help him when he was doing things.

This chivalry...isn't it true that he is worthy of being called the "Dragon of Dojima"?

He figured out a lot of things and had some guesses as to why the two had agreed to go so readily. But to be sure, and to ensure that the three brothers were as honest as possible, Uozuka Saburo asked, "So, Yagami-san, since you understand the importance of confidentiality, why did you tell me everything? To be honest, although I appear to be alone now, I have an organization behind me... If anyone notices something and wants me to report it, I absolutely cannot hide it, otherwise I will be killed."

"Brother Uozuka..."

Yagami Kaku was happy that Uozuka Saburo could be honest with him, but he was also worried that his secret was not easy to make public. If it implicated his brothers, they would be unhappy.

At this moment, Kiryu Kazuma, who had overheard the conversation reaching a deadlock, broke the deadlock and took the initiative to tell the truth: "Brother Uozuka, don't blame Brother Yagami for putting you in an unjust position. It is really because this matter happened suddenly that we must rely on your strength."

"Oh? It happened suddenly?"

"Yes...it's an emergency, and we have to find someone we can trust and have enough power to work with us."

Nodding, Yagami Kaku mentally prepared himself. He looked up at Uozuka Saburo and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday, after we eliminated the two monsters from the video, Brother Kiryu and I followed the clues and found their temporary base. We suddenly discovered that there were not only some chemicals we couldn't understand, but also traces of a third person."

"In the room were their draft plans and torn-up roadmaps. We spent some time piecing them together before we finally figured out his path: the two men Brother Yagami encountered remained in Tokyo, operating covertly to muddy the waters. This man, on his own, headed southeast, wandering around the Tokyo metropolitan area for a few days, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

Chapter 242 It’s Him!

Kiryu Kazuma glanced at the horsegirls chatting cheerfully in the rearview mirror and lowered his voice further, saying, "Their fundamental intentions are still unknown, but their goal is very simple: to create chaos in places where people gather, spread an unknown plague, and sow chaos. And based on the supplies they left in their plan, we've determined that their most likely destination is..."

"...Chiba Prefecture, Chukyo Racecourse, huh."

Uozuka Saburo said this in an affirmative tone, his brows furrowed deeply involuntarily.

No wonder these two agreed so readily to go to the Zhongjing Racecourse together, and they quickly prepared a large cart and so many supplies. It turns out that things have really come to this point.

But this was different from what he expected, and not just a little bit different...

He wasn't even sure if the organization had enough manpower in Chiba to deal with the catastrophic consequences if they failed to stop the biochemical monster.

It is just as what Yagami Kaku subtext said: Before the other party blatantly releases the plague on a large scale, it is absolutely inappropriate to spread the information about the existence of monsters carrying the plague at will - otherwise the ordinary people will be in chaos before the other party poisons them.

In today's society, it is very easy to create a conspiracy theory that causes panic among the entire nation. Saburo Uozuka himself is an expert in this.

...Perhaps those "foreign police" who sneaked in were also here for this purpose? If we run into this...

"So, what do you say, Uozuka-san?"

"...What else can I say? Just give up and go home?"

Taking off his sunglasses and glaring at Kaku Yagami with annoyance, Uozuka Saburo shook his head angrily and helplessly, "Now that we're here, I can't just sit there and watch you two take risks without making sure everything is safe. Japan is my territory after all, and I can't let some idiot shit and pee on us."

"Yes! Let's get rid of him!!!"

"Ah."

As a result, all three of them expressed their opinions on this matter, formed an alliance, and their friendship with each other became even deeper.

This is not like those hot-blooded comics for young people, where one is willing to trust his partner unreservedly and unilaterally without even knowing the other person's background. Instead, it is about reaching a consensus on the premise of fully knowing the other person's background and what they might do, and trusting from the bottom of one's heart that the other person will protect one's back.

A trust that only gangsters like them have.

......

......

"Wow~ We're finally here!"

"Well, I'm hungry."

"Don't you have anything else to say besides this..."

"Hoohoo~ Relax, we're going to have a feast next!"

"Yeah, yeah! Our Mejiro family's carefully selected meals are amazing~!"

"7 minutes and 46 seconds late for the reservation. Master, there's something wrong with the rental car."

"Really? Maybe we've reached the passenger limit, so the machine isn't running as fast as it did when the four of us came."

Kiryu Kazuma looked back at the eight-seater commercial vehicle, locked eyes with Uozuka Saburo and Yagami Kaku, and said nonchalantly, "I'll have my brothers go to the rental company to 'find out the situation'. If it's really their fault, I won't let this happen to me."

"Hey, thank you for your hard work."

After rubbing the big head of Mipobo, and sending away his sensitive horse girl, Kiryu Kazuma turned his head and winked at Uozuka Saburo, the last one left in the car, and asked him to start fiddling under the seat.

Of course there are problems with this car... After all, if anyone puts a full set of alloy armor, a high-frequency vibration knife, several rifles, pistols, grenades, and more than 500 rounds of bullets in the rear compartment and bottom of the car, it will slow down the car.

The car arrived just seven minutes slower than the normal speed, which was already an amazing result of Kiryu Kazuma's driving skills. If an ordinary person were to drive it, the car might have flipped over halfway due to unstable center of gravity.

"Alright everyone, look here first!"

Like a teacher on a spring outing, Yagami Kaku took the initiative to walk up to the horse girls and clapped his hands, saying, "Don't worry about eating yet. Go get your luggage and let's go to the hotel to stay first."

"""good!"""

All the pony girls who already knew that this was Elisa's lover spoke about it together, and winked at Elisa from time to time, as if they had made some plans in private, which made Yagami feel a little confused.

"Ms. Alyssa, can you help them check in? We have some photography equipment in the car. My two brothers and I will park the car, grab the equipment, and come over."

"Okay, okay... Ah Jue, can I come and assign accommodation?"

"Well, of course, just do as you think."

"!!! Hehe, great, great! I'll go get everyone accommodation cards right away!!"

"..."

Watching Alisa Mejiro happily running back to the group of horse girls, Yagami Kaku suddenly felt a slight pain in his waist. He didn't know where the pain came from, so he could only put it aside for the moment and turned around and got on the passenger seat of the business car again.

The three men drove into the hotel parking lot, found a corner against the wall and backed in. Taking advantage of the blind spot of the surveillance camera, they stuffed all the weapons they could carry daily into their camera bags, and walked into the elevator to the next floor with the bags full.

————Although guns could not penetrate the monster's skin and flesh, for a veteran like Uozuka Saburo who had followed his elder brother to play with guns for many years, guns were not just weapons used to directly attack others, but also tools that could be used in all aspects on the battlefield.

That guy doesn't seem to have much IQ. If you give him a gun, he can use the advantage of the field to kill the opponent!

"Come to think of it, I was just busy asking about your firepower equipment and monster forms, but I haven't asked you how you plan to search for that guy."

In the elevator, Uozuka Saburo suddenly thought of this. While looking at the floor number popping up online, he asked, "You don't have any staff here, are you planning to search on your own?"

"Well, we have information about what he looked like before he turned into a monster, as well as his approximate check-in time. We just need to disguise ourselves as detectives and investigate."

"I see. So what does he look like?"

"that is……"

Ding-ling, just at this moment, the elevator door opened and a neutral face poked in from outside, startling both Yagami Kaku and Kiryu Kazuma, their nerves suddenly tensed.

This is the person they are looking for!

Chapter 243 Wait! Is something wrong?

"...What's wrong?"

Facing the gazes of the group of people in front of him who looked like a woman but was not a woman, Yagami Kaku, who was standing in the front, also realized that he had overreacted and quickly made amends:

"Nothing, I just thought you looked familiar, as if I've seen you somewhere before."

Yagami Kaku smiled and said, "My name is Iori Yagami, the Iori Yagami from the King of Fighters game. If you are the person I know, you will definitely remember me."

"...I don't know him. You got the wrong person."

"Is that so... Ah! Sorry, sorry, so you're a man! I was so confused."

"..."

Uozuka Saburo, who had been standing by without blinking a glance, quietly covered half of his face, unable to bear to look at his younger brother's dismal ability to cope with the situation.

"And Iori Yagami, why didn't you say Kusagi Kyo? Calling someone by such a distinctive kana would simply give them a clue as to where to look, and they'd find you, Kaku Yagami, right?"

The young man has strong fighting ability, but his ability to respond needs to be greatly improved.

However, now that things have come to this, Uozuka Saburo did not have any more thoughts of complaining. After all, it was hard not to be nervous when encountering such a human-shaped tank-like existence in such a narrow situation.

Having watched the video, he knew that if he had been standing at the front, they would have probably pulled out their guns and fired.

However, after the elevator door gradually closed and calm returned to the elevator, Uozuka Saburo became a little curious: this creature, whose gender could not be determined at first glance, did not seem to be as irritable and mentally demented as its two accomplices in the video.

Instead, a little...stupid?

Yes, she is the type like Oguruma. It seems that nothing in the world has anything to do with her except eating and running, so she is the kind of innocent person who never cares too much about others!

Uh...why does it sound a bit weird?

Based on what the two men had just described to him on the road, shouldn't they be vicious, lawless, antisocial, irritable, and completely confused lunatics? Why did this guy seem so normal?

...Well, although it can't be called normal, it is obviously not the kind of thing that you can tell at first glance is going to blow up a building.

The three of them had parked their car on the third underground floor, and the person who took the elevator was on the second underground floor. Now they were also going to the first floor, which gave Uozuka Saburo a chance to quickly observe the other person:

Just now I only paid attention to its face. It was neither as hard and well-defined as a man's, nor as petite and mellow as a woman's. Instead, it had a feeling of a boy who had not yet fully grown up. He was not short, but definitely not tall either. Roughly speaking, he was about 1.75 meters tall. He was thin, with neither broad shoulders nor pelvis. His exposed wrists could even be described as slender. He was wearing a whole set of cheap clothes that looked like they were just bought from a flea market. Not only did it have no special features, but even the size was not exactly right. He wore a baseball cap that covered most of his head. The small part of the back of his head that was exposed was a bald patch of green skin, which made people wonder if there was no grass growing under the cap.

Um......

How should I put it? Uozuka Saburo felt as if he had seen a similar character somewhere before.

In that laboratory specializing in human enhancement in a certain organization that he didn't want to remember at all, those young and pathetic experimental subjects... were exactly the same.

As a veteran gangster, Saburo Uozuka has seen all kinds of cruel scenes that are hard for ordinary people to imagine, and even for ordinary gangsters to imagine. Among them, of course, there is no shortage of things like using ignorant minors for human experiments.

After all, bullying the weak and taking advantage of the weak are what all the darkness, both mainstream and inferior, like to do.

So in this case... these three guys who can transform into monsters are not actually well-trained soldiers, but are just pawns thrown out as experiments to collect data?

Who is behind this? Is he related to the foreigners who invaded Japanese territory?

Do those Interpol police have relevant intelligence?

…I should have kidnapped Conan and kept him around as a mentor. Uozuka Saburo, whose reasoning abilities weren't particularly strong, thought with a bit of a headache.

It has to be said that in this situation where there is no more evidence and no clue, detectives who can always come up with all kinds of outrageous ideas by a flash of inspiration and always get the right direction by accident are really rare advanced tools.

After returning, I have to strengthen the relationship with the Mori family and the contact and training of Edogawa Conan.

With this thought, the elevator arrived at the first floor and Huan Huan opened the door. The man who was suspected to be the "biochemical experiment subject" walked out without even glancing at Yagami Kaku and the other two. He found the stairs with a clear goal and climbed up. After a few turns, he disappeared from their sight.

————He clearly wanted to go upstairs but didn't take the elevator, and he deliberately gave us this suspicious feeling...

Was he trying to hide his exact floor? Or was he trying to lure us in so he could kill us quietly? Or was it both?

The three of them were not newcomers to the business, and they could see through the bait and hook at a glance, but they completely ignored the other party. They just expressed doubts like normal tourists and walked straight out and nodded, heading towards the horse girls chattering at the front desk. Not only did they have companions, they also had absolutely normal, reasonable and legal reasons for being here. No matter which side's intelligence personnel came, they would not be able to find any flaws!

"Master, it took a long time."

"Yeah! What are you three doing down there? Going to smoke again?"

"Sniff~ No smell of smoke, just a warm scent, very reassuring."

"..."

"..."
