——This shrewd and capable woman, although she is not a member of the anti-narcotics team, she, as the captain of the serious crime team, also came to Bishan District for an on-site inspection during a vicious murder caused by drug dealing a few years ago.
Not only did he discover that the person from Happy Forest might be the real culprit in that case, but he also noticed the arrival of the Black Crow group of external forces.
Although the police had long planned to wipe out Happy Forest, the unexpected appearance of black crows at this moment is also a variable factor that cannot be ignored.
In order to determine whether this force would hinder their plan to seize Happy Forest, and to prepare in advance to eliminate this new drug trafficking force, after knowing that Black Crow had the intention to contact Chitose Ritsuko, she also entrusted Ritsuko to be a so-called
As a double spy, he tried his best to trick the Black Crow's words, thereby detecting how much content this iceberg called the new power had hidden under the water.
"Ritsuko." Ye Suling once said to her before she set off: "This mission is very dangerous. Since Black Crow dared to act unscrupulously after arriving in Shencheng, even more rampant than the people in Happy Forest, I think he must also
You won’t have too many scruples. If he sees through your true face, your life may be in danger. So don’t force yourself, even if you get nothing, you still have to come back safely.”
"Officer Ye, speaking of which, I am also from that world. Because of the information I provided, many people may have encountered dangers that they should not have suffered. Why do you care so much about my life." Ritsuko just smiled at that time.
.
"For reasons, I am a policeman. The duty of the police is to protect. We do not have the right to judge other people's lives. That is what the law should do." Ye Suling looked at her seriously, "For reasons, Ritsuko,
I want to believe that you are a kind person, and you have not given up on your basic principles as a human being even if you have reached this stage. So personally, I also hope that you can survive."
——She is such an upright and somewhat cunning woman. Now that she has said such words, how can she escape so easily? No matter how she looks at it, Ritsuko doesn't want to betray her trust.
We made an appointment in advance to meet at a tavern in a small alley directly opposite the Jiangdong Baozhu Tower, a landmark building in Shanghai. The place is generally crowded during the day and sparsely populated at night. In addition, the tavern has a soundproof private room.
, specially used for people who are shady to talk about, and it is a place commonly used by Ritsuko for information transactions.
The owner of the tavern himself is inextricably connected with these customers. Coupled with the high usage fee of the private room, it is often necessary to make a reservation three days in advance to use this private room. Even a regular patron like Ritsuko is not surprised.
.
Turning all the way from the bustling avenue into the alley, this road was winding and winding, but it was already familiar to Ritsuko. She could just close her eyes and rely on her intuition to move smoothly. After a while, she walked into the tavern and found that the tavern was at this moment.
There were not many people inside, only a few out-of-town tourists happened to find this pub and ordered some random things for dinner.
When the boss saw Ritsuko, he didn't leave the counter. He didn't show too much enthusiasm like ordinary small restaurant owners. He just asked in a low voice: "Want to eat? There are no mullet today."
"It doesn't matter, it's good to have mandarin fish." Ritsuko said calmly.
To the ears of tourists from other places, the questions and answers between these two people were just normal conversations between acquaintances and the boss. Mandarin fish and mullet are both dishes commonly eaten by people in Shanghai - but who would have known?
Are they actually talking about slogans?
"No mandarin fish" means that there are no rooms left. In other words, today's private room has been booked. And "there is mandarin fish" means "I have brought distinguished guests." In other words, Ritsuko
Indicates that he is one of the people who reserved a private room in advance.
"Then how are you going to cook this mandarin fish?" Naturally, the boss would not let Ritsuko in based on a single word. After thinking about this, he had to pass the only slogan that only the person who booked the private room knew.
"If you want to steam it, remove the belly and stuff the ginger shreds into the belly. Change the fish body to nineteen knives. If you change it to 20 knives, you won't need it."
Ritsuko naturally knew that what she was saying was that any dish would be fine, but the key was to have a strictly private space, and the scheduled time was 19:00. If no one came to the private room by 20:00, she would not need it—
—This is also the secret code agreed between the store owner and the booker.
"Okay, the mandarin fish hasn't arrived yet, please wait a moment." The boss is saying that your customers haven't arrived yet, so you should go to the room and wait.
"The private room is still empty. I'm going to eat in the private room. It's so hot outside." Ritsuko's last words were meant for the foreign tourists who were eating.
Under the guidance of the boss, she entered the private room alone, only to see that the familiar private room was completely white, with nothing but tables and chairs. It was so plain that it could be described as a bare-bones house - of course, this was not because the boss was stingy, but because the customer was so purposeful.
What is required is to have a clear view of the room so that you can rest assured that there are no objects hiding to steal information.
There are two doors at the back of the private room with male and female marks on them, which are used to check the status of the belongings carried by the guests.
According to the customer's request, Ritsuko left her purse, hat and other containers that might contain bugs and other items in the outdoor lockers. A female employee of the tavern walked into the door and began to investigate Ritsuko.
After a strict physical examination to confirm that she did not carry any photography or eavesdropping equipment, Ritsuko was able to put on a mask and enter the sitting room.
But that distinguished guest seemed to be really arrogant. Ritsuko waited there for a long time. It was not until half past seven that she heard the steady sound of leather shoes coming from outside the private room.
For some reason, before seeing Black Crow himself, the sound of heavy leather shoes gave her an inexplicable sense of oppression and an ominous premonition.
"What's going on? I've obviously seen so many patrons before, and some of them are ruthless people who kill without batting an eyelid. Why do I feel like giving up before I meet them today?"
Ritsuko had to question herself to strengthen her determination, but she also inadvertently and quietly raised her guard.
The door of the private room slowly opened, and a tall man wearing a black trench coat and a black top hat came in with his head slightly lowered. He had his collar turned up, and Ritsuko couldn't see the details of his face clearly, but she noticed that the other person seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then Ritsuko
Seeing a faint smile suddenly appear on the corner of the other person's mouth, she couldn't help but feel creepy.
Why do I always feel that his figure is a little familiar? Is it an illusion?
Before Ritsuko could think of a result, Black Crow had already taken his seat, but he still had no intention of taking off his hat or lowering his collar, which showed that he didn't want Ritsuko to see his complete appearance directly.
