Thinking of this, Toru Amuro was silent for a moment and suggested tactfully: "If you like it, why not raise one yourself." Then don't accept such commissions and harm other people's cats...
Toru Amuro remembered that a few days ago, he picked up a familiar cat that was lying on the street in the office. The cat probably looked familiar to him and didn't bother to run away when he approached... If this continues, these cats
Cats may gradually get used to a wandering life, changing from domestic cats to street cats, then to town cats, city cats, county cats or even national cats... This is not good for cats, and it is also bad for the reputation of the firm.
However, Jiang Xia shook her head regretfully: "There is no time and no manpower - you are rarely in the office, and I often have to travel on business."
Toru Amuro: "...Who said I'll be raised in the office? I'll be raised at home."
"No." Jiang Xia still shook his head.
He thought about the ghost mint ingredients at home and gestured to the shape of the flowerpot: "I have a lot of potted plants at home."
Next to her, the mermaid poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia and nodded with deep understanding - those potted plants are the raw materials used to make ghost mint and must not be scratched by cats.
And she doesn't like cats either. She always feels that the tail will be dangerous in front of cats... Thinking of this, the mermaid turned back to look at the cats in the cage, then silently crawled to Jiang Xia, using Jiang Xia's body to cover the cats.
possible gaze. Then he touched his beautiful fish tail cherishingly.
Toru Amuro was thoughtful, is it inconvenient to keep a cat at home?
...Is my suspicion that "Jiang Xia accepted the commission just to flirt with the client's cat" true?
Although it sounds a bit absurd, if you think about it carefully - these cats come in all varieties, are well taken care of, and most of them are clingy. A few of them are rebellious and will only try to escape when being petted.
It will scratch people in turn... It seems very reasonable for Jiangxia to maintain the cat-finding business when you don't have to worry about catching cats yourself and someone else does it for you.
...I just feel a little sorry for the customers.
but……
Toru Amuro turned around and looked at the chocolate mountain on the other side of the living room with a slightly speechless look.
...Even the cat's owner doesn't mind, so he'd better stop meddling.
Moreover, Jiang Xia is not a cat abuser. The cats quite like him. Except for a few lively ones who love freedom, all the cats have become familiar with Jiang Xia.
Tohru Amuro temporarily stopped thinking about these trivial matters.
He remembered the purpose of coming to the office today and asked Jiang Xia casually:
"I remember that a few days ago, you received a letter of entrustment from Yueying Island, and you said that the wording of the letter looked like a murder notice - why didn't I see your report on solving the case on the island?"
Toru Amuro will be interested in this matter and will start talking about it early this morning.
Early morning.
When he was handing over information about Inoue Real Estate to Gin who had rushed back from nowhere, he habitually glanced into Gin's bag - for an intelligence officer, it is the most basic thing to pay attention to all the scenes passing in front of him.
The operation. This kind of small action may be annoying, but it is not too suspicious.
In the past, it was difficult for Toru Amuro to obtain information from Gin in this way.
But today, for some reason, Gin's mental state seemed not to be very good, with a vague feeling of fatigue after being tense for too long.
So this time, Toru Amuro successfully spotted an unfinished mission report in his bag.
Then I saw an unfamiliar word on it - Ouzo.
As an undercover agent of the organization, Toru Amuro memorizes the names of various wines.
He searched his memory briefly and quickly remembered that this was a Greek liquor - it would appear on the organization's mission reports, and it was undoubtedly the codename of an official member.
But the strange thing is that Toru Amuro discovered that he had never heard of the person "Usa" before.
This made him quite concerned.
——In Toru Amuro’s impression, except for some cannon fodder scheduled to be disposed of within the organization and employees who are in urgent need of retirement, most of the people who can go on missions with Gin are old people who have been with the organization for many years and have great loyalty.
All have been confirmed.
During the years that Toru Amuro has been undercover, he has been in contact with many organizational cadres with code names, and is familiar with a large number of wine names.
Especially here in Tokyo.
Even if he has never met, he has a rough list in his mind, and can even vaguely guess the areas in which each person is good at... But this "Uzo" who suddenly appeared is completely unknown and has never been on his list.
appeared.
...but Ouzo was able to go on a mission with Gin. Moreover, judging from the position of the name on the mission report, "Ouzo" was indeed a participant in the mission, not the target of the execution.
In other words, he cannot be an incompetent cannon fodder.
...Could it be a new face who has just been transferred from another branch?
Or, Uzo has always been a permanent member of other branches, and is only responsible for cooperating with Gin when Gin is on a business trip?
...Both are possible.
The former - the organization has a lot of affairs in the Tokyo area, and the attrition rate of its members is also high. It takes a lot of time to train competent cadres, and it is difficult to replenish manpower. The operation of transferring people over is quite common.
And the latter speculation is not unreasonable - in Toru Amuro's impression, Gin does not have procrastination. But this time, after Gin got the relevant information about Inoue Real Estate, it took him a long time to come to him to hand over the relevant information... This
It means that Gin is probably stuck in something.
Tokyo has been surprisingly peaceful these days, and I haven't heard of any important people dying.
Therefore, Toru Amuro is more inclined to think that the incident that caused Gin to become "inextricable" happened in another location - that is to say, Usa was a cadre of another branch.
…
After having doubts about the new wine on the file, Toru Amuro thought about it. It was not a secret that he liked to observe other people's information anyway.
So he simply asked Gin openly: "A new face is here? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
Gin's reaction at that time left a deep impression on Toru Amuro.
——This deep organizational cadre paused for a moment as he collected the materials. He turned his head and glanced at him. There was an indescribable and strange pleasure in his eyes, as well as some indescribable sense of superiority.
After this positive emotion, Ginjiu remembered something, and his expression became slightly more complicated and slightly fearful.
...Maybe it's because there are too many elements, or the awareness of confidentiality is too strong.
In short, after Toru Amuro asked about the information in Gin's bag, Gin did not mention anything about "Uzo". He just usually took out a gun and pointed it at Toru Amuro, leaving the sentence "Watch your eyes, and don't bear with me anymore."
If you don't stop looking around, I'll dig it out for you" and other threats, and then strode away with the information and vodka.
Toru Amuro also slowly put down the gun that he and Gin had taken out simultaneously and pointed at each other.
He looked at Gin's back, then moved his eyes to the vodka next to him, his expression gradually becoming serious.
