Belmode immediately heard the hidden meaning of Yu Jiang's words: "Do you think my identity has been exposed?"
"I didn't say that." Yujiang shrugged, "It's just that you don't think it's strange. You just decided to sneak into Didan by pretending to be Tomaki Shinde, and the Shinde family happened to be involved in a car accident, followed closely by Didan High School.
An unidentified American teacher came. What a coincidence, and I never believe in coincidences."
"It doesn't mean that I have to assume the identity of Tomaki Shinde. If he hadn't been in a car accident, my original target would have been Yuzuru Shimizu."
Yu Jiang: “???”
"Ah, don't look at me like that~" Belmode smiled, "Don't worry, with our relationship, I will definitely leave you a complete body when the time comes.
"Besides me, that woman may also be here for you, right? I heard that the Japanese police have already noticed you, and it is only a matter of time before the FBI."
Yu Jiang narrowed his eyes: "Belmod, do you want to give it a try?"
"try what?"
"What is the purpose of testing Judy St. Timilion?" Yu Jiang opened the mission details and handed it to Belmode, "There will be an excellent opportunity on October 31st. How about it?"
Belmode roughly scanned a few keywords, and his smile deepened: "Okay, don't forget to transfer the commission to my account."
…
Yu Jiang and Gin set the time for the action meeting to be on a weekend night. In addition to them, Belmode and some peripheral members will also participate.
This weekend also happened to be the day when the official match of the Throne Battle began. Yue had a match on the first day, and his opponent was Seiji Tabata, who had been defeated by him before.
This game is a key game for him to achieve his 50th consecutive victory in official competitions. All media are paying close attention to this game, wanting to see if Haneda Tan, who is at the peak of his career since his debut, can continue to create miracles.
Reiko Shimizu stayed at Yu Jiang's house all afternoon, which has now become the base of Papette Group 2.0.
After sorting out the materials at hand, she raised her head and glanced aside.
Yu Jiang sat on the sofa by the window, occasionally looking at the chess records in his hands, and most of the time he just played with the dog in a daze. The rice ball lay beside him, with his belly exposed comfortably, letting Yu Jiang move his hands up and down on it.
Tsk tsk.
He is obviously a ruthless guy who has done all kinds of evil things, but sitting in the sun and petting dogs like this, he seems to have a certain appearance and an otherworldly temperament.
If she hadn't understood Ikue's true nature, Shimizu Reiko would have been almost deceived by appearances, and she would have thought of him as a sunny shogi player.
"Yuxian." Reiko Shimizu teased, "Aren't you going to invite a little traffic policeman to watch tomorrow's game?"
Yu Jiang didn't realize who the "little traffic policeman" was referring to at the first time. He frowned and said, "It's not an important competition, why do you want her to do it?"
Reiko Shimizu raised her eyebrows: "So, if it was an important game, you would invite her?"
Yu Jiang didn't even bother to look up at her: "Mind your own business. Have you fully investigated the situation of the Mitsui? Do you know what cargo is in the container?"
Shimizu Reiko choked: "I have investigated all possible channels, and the information will be summarized for you immediately. But don't have high expectations. The organization of that batch of goods is very mysterious. Instead of investigating it yourself, it is better to ask Gin directly."
…
Miyamoto Yumi nodded for the sixth time.
Miike Naeko glanced at her and said strangely: "Yumi, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep last night?"
"Yesterday, Grandma Shan called me over to work overtime again and asked me to summarize the unsolved cases of the past few years." At this point, Miyamoto Yumi let out a big yawn.
Miike Naeko was even more surprised: "What unsolved case? Our Ministry of Transportation still has unsolved cases??"
"There are many unsolved cases, such as the Kasai Bridge case, the Aoki Forest disappearance case, etc. I don't know why Shan Lao is suddenly interested in these cases. She seems to be investigating something."
"Hey, Shan Lao has always been like this. She seems to have endless energy." Miike Naeko thought for a while and asked Miyamoto Yumi, "You should be able to take a day off tomorrow, right? Do you want to go watch the Haneda Triple Crown with me?"
"
Miyamoto Yumi looked at her friend in confusion: "Haneda Triple Crown?"
Miike Naeko said excitedly: "That's Haneda Danya. He is the chess king, king general, and the holder of the throne title, so we call him the Haneda Triple Crown. Of course, a throne battle is being held recently, and soon he will be the Haneda Fourth Crown.
"
"You, you, you... what did you say?" Miyamoto Yumi suddenly woke up, "Haneda Danya?!"
Miike Naeko asked strangely: "What's wrong? Aren't you always not interested in shogi games?"
Miyamoto Yumi was so excited that she couldn't speak. Even if she popped out a few words, they would be incoherent: "No, wait, what's going on? Haneda Dan is also a shogi player... No, no, no, he is the one you liked very much before.
A shogi player? Oh, that’s right, it’s possible that they have the same name. I remember he told me that he named Haneda just to please his teacher, so this Haneda Dan should also have been named that way, haha.”
Miike Naeko didn't understand what Miyamoto Yumi was struggling with, but at least Miyamoto Yumi had regained her energy: "Tomorrow morning the Haneda Triple Crown will hit the 50th consecutive victory in the official competition. How about you come with me to the scene to give it to him?
come on?"
"Yes! Of course!" Yumi Miyamoto agreed.
Regardless of whether this Haneda Dan was the one she knew, she had to go to the scene to confirm.
Just like that, amidst the great expectations, the battle for the throne began.
This game was so important that even Yasuharu Haneda, who had not appeared for a long time, was present. He appeared on the TV broadcast as a guest and explained the game to the audience together with the beautiful host.
When Ikue arrived at the venue, Tabata Seiji was already in place.
Haneda Dan also had three titles, and his seniority was far above that of Tabata Seiji, so Tabata Seiji bowed to him with great respect.
Ikue nodded in return, greeted the staff and cameras at the venue, and then sat down opposite Seiji Tabata.
Shogi competitions require players to wear formal attire. Compared with previous shogi players, now shogi players have gradually accepted lighter suits.
Because of Yasuharu Haneda, Ikue wore a kimono and Seiji Tabata wore a suit.
When he was sitting down, Yujie noticed that there was a mobile phone in Seiji Tabata's chest pocket. However, there is no explicit rule in the shogi game that no electronic devices are allowed, and many shogi players will use their mobile phones to check the time.
As soon as the chess game began, Ikue was keenly aware that Tabata Seiji's chess style had changed.
No longer indecisive, but with a sense of vigor.
Under the pressure of his opponent, Yu Jiang had to stay alert and deal with it carefully.
However, even so, the first round of chess still ended with Yu Jiang losing.
