This time the organization issued it to "Uzuo", and "Uzuo" gave Jiang Xia the task of helping the organization's picker to get back the batch of illegal materials purchased from the Ghost Tiger Association.
The supplies are currently stored in a bank safe.
Jiang Xia felt that the plan for completing this task, in addition to the "bank robbery" favored by peripheral members, was actually "getting back the seal kept by Yuji Tomura, and seizing the time to collect it before his arrest was announced."
Goods” option.
Now, since you have obtained the seal, of course you must deliver it to the picker as soon as possible. Mailing is risky, and losing it will be troublesome. According to regulations, it is best to deliver it manually.
However, now, the main body must go to the police station first. And after all, it is an "assassination" that is quite explosive. Maybe a reporter he knows will come over and chat with him, and he will not be able to leave for a while.
If you let a puppet deliver it... each of the Z's would be too obvious, or it would be inconvenient to appear on the street in broad daylight.
Matsuda Jinpei's vest is more concealed, but of course a cadre of "Uzo" should not run errands for a peripheral member...
Originally, Jiang Xia planned to ignore the rules of the organization, put the seal in a box, pretend it was a courier, and put the puppet directly on the dealer's desk when no one was around.
But now, since Okiya Subaru is here...
Jiang Xia randomly grabbed a lucky boy and used him to run errands.
...Anyway, if part of the tasks of "Jiang Xia" are transferred to Subaru Okiya, no one else will know except him, the "boss" responsible for assigning tasks. As a peripheral member, Subaru Okiya has no authority to check the work of his peers.
past tasks.
Even if Subaru Okiya discovers that Jiang Xia is also Usa's subordinate in the future, or accidentally sees the relevant files, then "Usa"'s behavior today can be easily explained - Jiang Xia can't get away, and the "detective" is a very social person
As a professional, you have to go out and socialize frequently. If you are exposed as a "criminal", most of the advantages of a detective will be lost. Unlike a hacker or something, if a hacker is exposed one day, he can change his disguise and hide it.
You can still work as usual.
…
Next to the car ahead.
After Jiang Xia spoke, another second passed before the unlucky little boy finally turned around slowly.
Subaru Okiya's turning movements revealed a trace of caution, like those unlucky hostages or robbers in police movies who are pointed at a gun and asked to "turn around!"
While the body is moving.
Okiya Subaru finally recovered from the shock of "Usa's sudden appearance" and remembered what Usa had just said.
"..." It sounds like Uzo came to find him just to release a new mission?
Subaru Okiya breathed a silent sigh of relief - just after he had done a good deed, Uzo appeared behind him like a ghost. Just now Subaru Okiya thought he was going to die, and he felt extremely guilty.
Fortunately, Uzo seemed to be just passing by. He didn’t pay attention to him, nor did he care about him, a peripheral member who was also "passing by"...
…
Okiya Subaru came back to his senses, and when he saw his new boss's polite manner of patiently waiting, his scalp went numb, and he hurriedly replied to what Usa had just said: "Okay, we will definitely do it."
Just as he was saying this, Okiya Subaru suddenly felt a flexible shadow flashing past him beside him.
——Looking closely, he saw the cat on the dark clouds and snow jumping off the hood of his car and trotting straight towards Uzuo.
"..." Okiya Subaru moved his fingers, trying to stop him.
But the cat moved too fast, and the person opposite was the terrifying Uzo...
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as this cat, who was very friendly to strangers, ran all the way to Uzo and jumped into the arms of that terrible man.
Subaru Okiya watched with bated breath, feeling a little nervous: he was worried that the cat would have its neck snapped in the next second.
——After all, in his current concept, "Uzo = pervert" and "cat abuse = pervert". Rounding it off...
…
But no.
The smart cat landed smoothly in Uzo's arms.
Uzo caught the cat and even touched its head deftly. Then he looked up at Subaru Okiya, who was staring at his hand, and started chatting with interest: "What did you call it just now?"
"..." Subaru Okiya was startled. Thinking about what happened just now, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
He didn't dare not answer, so he had to repeat the name he just casually called: "...Xiao Hei."
Uzo nodded: "It does have that name."
Okiya Subaru: "...?" Wait, could it be true...
The next second, he heard Uzo say calmly: "This is my cat."
"..."
"…………"
Subaru Okiya thought of those happy days spent with cats, and the pile of cat equipment in his home not only did not decrease, but actually increased...
a bolt from the blue.
Uzo glanced around him, then withdrew his gaze indifferently, touched the cat, and said: "But it likes to run around in Tokyo and doesn't see each other a few times a week. It's almost free-range."
——In short, if you happen to encounter it, remember to listen to it."
Okiya Subaru: "..." Listen to the cat?
It's like Uzo can read minds: "It's very smart and has its own ideas. I'm usually busy and don't have time to spend more time with the cat. If it comes to find you, remember to treat it well."
Okiya Subaru: "..." Wait, this statement... maybe Xiao Hei is not Usa's cat at all. It's just that when the cat went to try to live in other people's homes, it also entered Usa's house, and then Usa
He felt that this cat was destined to him, so he took a free cat and made it his own...
Okiya Subaru briefly walked away.
When he came back to his senses, both Uzo and the cat were gone. They had probably left as quietly as they came.
He looked left and right, then at the hard seal in his hand.
If the seal with "Toramura Yuji" hadn't been there, I would have suspected that what just happened was just a nightmare...
Okiya Subaru sighed, and after the police and ambulances left one after another, he drove away and worked overtime bitterly.
…
The next day, relevant reports appeared in the newspapers.
Faced with this case that included keywords such as "famous detective", "hostage", and "assassination" at the same time, the reporters were very active and the causes and consequences were quite clear. In addition to the heroic performance of the young detective, they also focused on the ghost story.
Tiger will be exposed as an assassination plot.
Okiya Subaru saw the keyword "Ghost Tiger Society" and vaguely thought he had seen it somewhere before.
There is not much secrecy in this small organization.
He searched for keywords and quickly found relevant reports - not long ago, the leader and a large number of key members of the Ghost Tiger Society were arrested and forced to disband.
Okiya Subaru stared at the screen, pushed up his glasses, and fell silent for a moment: "..."
...Uzo just broke up an organization for such a small seal?
