Chapter 24 News and Information

 A report in the newspaper on Saturday morning made the general public actively participate in the discussion, which was reflected in Kuroki Jin's candy house.

Kuroki Jin sat behind the counter, listening to the discussions at the tables outside, wiping the cup in his hand. Next to him, Yuki looked at the cup he had been wiping for ten minutes and gave it a thumbs up.

"These drug dealers are so abominable!" Suzuki Sonoko's voice was the loudest. She slapped the table, "Look at what is written in the report. Are these all done by humans?!"

"Yuanzi, keep your voice down." Xiaolan reminded.

"This young lady is absolutely right." The boy at the table next to him said angrily, "They have hurt so many families. They have scattered their wives and families, and they should all be pulled out and shot!"

"One of them escaped." Kudo Shinichi unfolded the newspaper, "Kitashima Kohei, the receptionist of the casino, ran away that night when he realized something was not right. I still don't know what happened."

"Officer Takagi Wataru from the Metropolitan Police Department is also famous this time." The unknown boy continued to chat, "This Kitajima Kohei actually wants to drag Officer Takagi into taking drugs. He is really impatient."

"I heard that this is another big deal for their gambling house. It is said that it has something to do with Ichiro Funamoto, who died before." Someone from another table answered.

"It is said that they picked people who were considered to be wealthy from gambling and let them "accidentally eat" heroin. When they became drug addicts, they could only seek help from the gambling houses and give them a lot of money."

"I heard that Ichiro Funamoto has many sales lines. The police have seized three of them, including casinos, bars, and karaoke bars."

"The police really stole the show this time, don't you think so, Detective."

Kudo Shinichi kept frowning while reading the newspaper, and pretended not to have heard Sonoko's teasing. He was carefully reading the police report on the entire incident.

"Xinyi?" Seeing that her childhood sweetheart was silent, Xiaolan lowered her head to see his expression.

"Ah? I'm fine." Shinichi finally came back to his senses, "I believe the person who escaped will be caught by the police soon."

"That's natural." Someone picked up what he said, and then people at other tables started a new round of discussion.

Kuroki Jin also saw the appearance of the wanted Kohei Kitajima, who was unexpectedly young. It was hard to imagine that this man was their leader based on the confessions of the arrested persons.

He looks like a talented person.

"Sister Xi Ji, make me a parfait."

Kudo Shinichi was attracted by the boy who was talking, and saw that the boy greeted Ana Yuki very familiarly, and ordered a parfait that was not on the menu here.

"Wait a moment." Xi Ji smiled enthusiastically.

"Eh? Sister Yuki, do you still do parfaits here?" Sonoko moved to the counter instantly, her eyes shining.

"Not on the menu, only for acquaintances." Kuroki Jin finally stopped wiping the cup, raised his head and smiled at Sonoko: "Would you like one?"

"Is it okay? Of course I'll come!" Sonoko immediately became happy, and Kuroki Jin winked at Anayuki, which earned a deliberate pout from the latter.

"Your parfait." Soon Anayuki brought out two cups of parfait, which were exactly the same, and handed them to the boy and Sonoko respectively.

"Wow, it looks good." Sonoko took the parfait and carefully carried it to their table. Anayuki was considerate and gave three spoons so that the three of them could share it.

Kudo Shinichi was still looking at the boy who was the first to ask for a parfait. He saw the boy bring out a small chair from the counter, sit on it and start eating.

"I haven't seen it before." Xiaolan followed Xinyi's gaze and looked over, a little confused.

"Maybe he is an acquaintance of Sister Yuji." Yuanzi didn't care about so many things, she was very happy to open the new menu.

"Brother Kuromu, are there any new candies?" The boy who was eating parfait quickly raised his head and looked at Kuromu, with some parfait residue still stuck to the corner of his mouth.

"It's available at the back, go get it yourself." Kuroki Ren handed the milk tea to the customer, "I'll rely on you in the evening."

"Don't worry, Brother Kuromu, it's not like you don't know that I'm very nimble."

"Eh? Mr. Kuroki won't close the shop at night?" Yuanzi looked up with doubts on his face.

"It doesn't matter, Xiji is here and has found Wenren again... Oh, let me introduce you, Ruomu Wenren, a third-year student at Didan Junior High School, working here part-time."

"Hello, brother and sister." Ruomu Wenren stood up shyly, smiled, and bowed.

"You're such a good little junior, but aren't the exams coming soon for the third year of junior high school? I still have time to work part-time." Suzuki Sonoko asked with a smile.

"I also study here when I'm not busy." Ruomu Wenren glanced at the parfait that still had a mouthful left, "There's nothing I can do. Brother Kuromu is in charge of the food here and pays me a salary, and then lets me study. This way

It’s so hard to find a job.”

"Eh?"

"He has something going on at home recently, so he doesn't have much time to take care of him." Kuroki Ren blocked Sonoko's unspoken question, "He saw that we were too busy here at night, so he came over and asked if he wanted a part-time job, so I hired him.



Yuanzi may not have understood yet, but Xiaolan, who was sitting in her seat, understood a little bit. She pulled Yuanzi and asked her to sit down, and then smiled at Kuroki: "Mr. Kuroki is so gentle."

"No way." Kuroki Ren responded with a smile. After finishing the parfait, Ruomu Wenren consciously took the cup into the kitchen, rummaged two candies in the kitchen and stuffed them into his mouth before coming out.

"What should Sister Yuji teach me today..." Wenren spoke a little vaguely with candy in his mouth, but he jumped to Anayuki's side with absolute swiftness, and the two of them began to immerse themselves in teaching and learning.

Before leaving, Sonoko once again reminded Kuroki Jin to go to the party early in the evening, and also vaguely reminded him that he could bring his companions. Kuroki smiled and replied that a companion had agreed to go with him, and Sonoko expressed his expectation.

Before going to the party, Kuroki Jin needed to pick up Shirley. Seeing that the time was almost up, Kuroki walked into the kitchen and took off his apron (wearing it because he sometimes had to make things), and picked up his coat before picking up

The paper pressed under the cup.

Ruomu Wenren just put it down.

The organization's peripheral intelligence agent, no code name, was originally a wild child from the slums. After being adopted by the organization's A-level intelligence agent, he entered the organization and has been living outside, delivering news to the organization. The fact that he just recorded Buffy's morning and evening minutes is a sign that he has relevant information.

That's why Kuroki Jin said there were new candies in the kitchen and asked him to put the information in the kitchen.

Kuroki Jin picked it up and looked at it. It was specific information about yesterday's police operation. The police in the operation last night also had organized people. Kuroki didn't know who it was. The other party belonged to the Intelligence Department. He uploaded this information and after several hands

I only arrived at him later.

The organization has done a very good job of keeping the intelligence sources confidential. If there is no direct superior-subordinate relationship, there is no way to find out the identity of the other party. If someone tries to pry with ulterior motives, he or she might be reported to someone on a different line.

The peripheral intelligence agents are okay. The organization only spends money to buy the information they have. They are just interested in the organization. But people like this who work lurking in the Metropolitan Police usually have names in the organization.

Although members may not have code names, they are also within the protective circle of the organization.

Therefore, the fact that Kuroki Jin has the fastest access to the news is his greatest right to be promoted to the head of the Tokyo District Operations Department.

Kuroki opened the intelligence and quickly extracted useful information:

The police operation last night was not without losses. One of them was kidnapped by Kitajima Kohei.

Inspection - Takagi Wataru.
