Chapter 1406: Underworld Commission (The Black Monkey is Really Hard to Beat)

Looking at the man in front of him, Duanmu Huai was almost angry to death.

Damn, I don’t even have a traffic violation record in this world, why do you two want me to go astray?

"Who are you?"

"I am the head of the Hawkeye Group, Tezuka Renichi. Tell me your name! No matter who you are, you are not allowed to run wild on the Hawkeye Group's territory!"

"I'm not some gangster."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully, I am a detective!"

"…………………Aha?"

"Hey?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, not only the man was surprised, but even the gangster who was lying on the ground and crying for his parents after being chopped by Mianme Satori raised his head and looked at him in disbelief. Looking at their expressions, Duanmu Huai felt even more unhappy.

"What are you looking at! Do I look like a gangster?!"

"I see."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's self-introduction, Tezuka Ren nodded.

"You are the super detective... I've heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come here."

"Yes."

Although he was unhappy with his nickname, Duanmu Huai still nodded.

"Got it? I'm not here to destroy your place, nor am I here to grab your territory. I'm here to investigate the incident! Well, if everything is ok, then we'll leave first!"

After saying this, Duanmu Huai prepared to leave with Mianmu Sanatori, but at this moment, more men in black suits rushed over and blocked their way.

"Wait, you attacked our Eagle Moon Group and you want to just walk away like that? It's not that easy!"

"Oh?"

Seeing the man in black suit blocking his way, Duanmu Huai gave a sinister smile, then he clenched his fists.

"If you are not afraid of death, then come on, and let me see if you have the guts to bark in front of me!"

“…………Woo………!”

"Alas…………!"

  Seeing the roaring Duanmu Huai, the faces of the men in black suits suddenly changed, and some of them even sat down on the ground with their legs weakened. The others were also pale. As gangsters, they were always extremely vicious to others. But... the man in front of them gave them the feeling that he was ten thousand times more vicious than the big boss in the group! Just being stared at by him made them feel as if they were about to be killed!

"stop!"

Just when the atmosphere was becoming tense, Tezuka Renichi shouted, then he walked forward and looked at Duanmu Huai. Then... Tezuka Renichi put his hands on his knees and bowed his head deeply to Duanmu Huai.

"Wakato!?"

"What are you doing!?"

Everyone was quite surprised to see that Tezuka Renichi actually bowed his head to Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai also raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?"

"My subordinates were wrong to offend you just now. I apologize to you on their behalf!"

"So? What do you want from me?"

Duanmu Huai is not stupid. He knows that those who try to please him are either traitors or thieves. Menmu Sanatori even injured several of the other party. However, these gangsters were able to keep their composure and talk to him, and even bowed to him. He absolutely does not believe that nothing happened.

"In fact, we have also heard of the name of Jidao Detective. After meeting him today, we can see that his reputation is well-deserved. So... we would like to entrust you to help with a matter!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai became interested. Since the underworld was willing to bow to him, this must be no ordinary case.

"what's up?"

"plz follow me."

“………………Okay, lead the way.”

Duanmu Huai thought about it and decided to listen to what the gangsters wanted to do with him first. So he drove and followed the other party's car out of the foot of the mountain and drove along the road. Then the other party took Duanmu Huai and others to a construction site. Of course, although it was a construction site, the workers here were all strong and fierce-looking, and they didn't look good at first glance... Of course, for Duanmu Huai, you can't judge a person by his appearance.

  Who knows if these fierce-looking guys have a pink bunny girlish heart?

Tezuka Renichi brought the two of them to an unfinished building, and then waved away the younger brothers around him.

"I'm sorry, I can't entertain you properly."

"I'm not interested in any of this. Tell me, what do you want from us?"

"Then I'll tell you straight."

Staring at Duanmu Huai, Tezuka Lianyi's expression also became serious.

"I want you to help me find someone."

As he spoke, Tezuka Renichi took out a photo of a woman in her twenties.

"Her name is Yingyue Mio. She is the daughter of the leader of the Yingyue Group, but she disappeared a few days ago."

"Speak more clearly."

Duanmu Huai took the photo, glanced at it, and spoke lightly, and Tezuka Lianyi did not hide anything, nodded and began to tell the story.

In fact, the original underworld organization Yingyue Group had no interest in a small place like Yangchen Town. The reason why they came here was related to a certain development plan. The higher-ups planned to build some large-scale projects here and requisition part of the land in Yangchen Town. However, the residents of Yangchen Town were very resistant to this, so the land requisition work was not smooth. So the big boss there hired Yingyue Group to be responsible for the land requisition work.

This kind of thing is something that the underworld often does. For example, if real estate developers want to acquire a building, they will let the underworld harass the residents and businesses inside, making them annoyed and willing to move out. If there are still some who refuse to listen, don't blame the underworld for being rude.

Generally speaking, the underworld is too lazy to invest in such a small place, but because the development plan is very large, and even the Eagle Moon Group has invested money, the collection work here is also carried out very attentively.

But the situation here is also quite complicated. Originally, the Eagle Moon Group thought that they were just a group of country folks. They could scare them away by giving them some money. But they didn't expect that the people in the expropriated areas would be united in hatred of the enemy and would never let them expropriate their property. Therefore, the expropriation work did not go very smoothly. Of course, after the initial negotiations failed, the Eagle Moon Group began to gradually show their underworld side. For example, they smashed the other party's glass, harassed the residents in the expropriation area, etc., and the conflict between the two sides gradually became white-hot.

Then, something happened.

This is the case that Tezuka Renichi mentioned before, the disappearance of Takazuki Mio, the daughter of the leader of the Takazuki Group.

At the beginning, Team Leader Yingyue didn't care much because he had been arranging blind dates for Yingyue Mio and wanted to marry the boss of other teams. Yingyue Mio was not a gangster, she was just an ordinary college student. She was very dissatisfied with her father's arrangement of blind dates for her, so she ran away several times.

However, the Yingyue Group has a huge influence in Aomori, and every time Yingyue Mio was captured before she had a chance to escape, it seems to be the same this time.

But alas, this time it was different.

Just two days later, the Yingyue Group received a letter from Yangchen Town, which contained a photo of Yingyue Mio tied to a chair and a letter, saying that if Yingyue Mio was to be safe, then the collection work in Yangchen Town would be abandoned. Otherwise, Yingyue Mio's life would be in danger.

Also attached to the letter was Takatsuki Mio's little finger.

  This naturally made Team Leader Yingyue furious. As a gangster, he was the only one who threatened others, but now a group of country bumpkins dared to threaten him? So Team Leader Yingyue sent Tezuka Lian and his team to Yangchen Town to find Yingyue Mio and the bastards who kidnapped her! Let them know that the Yingyue Group is not just for show!

That being said, but... when they actually arrived in Yangchen Town, Tezuka Lianyi found that there was actually very little they and his companions could do.

Call the police - it's impossible to call the police. The Eagle Moon Group is a gangster organization. They kidnapped your daughter, but you didn't solve it according to the rules of the gang. Instead, you asked the police for help. If the news got out, you would be laughed at by other colleagues.

But if we really want to arrest those residents and question them, that's impossible. The Eagle Moon Group is a gangster organization, and they are registered with the police. If you harass the residents but are not caught in the act, the police may not care if the harm is not serious. But if you kidnap or kill someone, the police will definitely intervene and investigate to the end.

Not to mention that this is a large-scale development project, and the developer does not want to have any fierce scandals, so Tezuka Renichi and others can only intimidate them, but it is obvious that this is useless to these country bumpkins. This also makes them at a loss. After all, if they continue to delay like this, not only will Miss Yingyue Mio not be found, but they will also be in trouble.

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai and Mianmu Sanitori were immediately targeted by the Yingyue Group after they arrived here. After all, they might also be related to this matter?

  Even if it doesn't matter, at least I can vent, right?

I can't do anything to the locals, but can't I deal with the outsiders?

Well, it turns out that it doesn’t work.

This is why Tezuka Renichi called his men to stop. They came here for a mission. If Duanmu Huai and Mianme Sanatori were related to the missing young lady, it would be fine. If they were not, it would be a waste of manpower. If the team leader knew about it, he would definitely be punished. Duanmu Huai happened to be the rumored detective, so Tezuka Renichi made a decisive decision and planned to ask him for help.

After all, detectives are much more professional than the underworld in finding people.

"I know the situation."

After listening to Tezuka Renichi's explanation, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"But are you sure that young lady is in Yangchen Town? I mean, it's possible that your enemies have captured her and deliberately led you here to waste your efforts, right?"

"What you said is not without reason, but we also have evidence."

"evidence?"

“Yes, that’s the photo.”

As he spoke, Tezuka Lianyi handed over another photo. Duanmu Huai took the photo and saw that Yingyue Mio in the photo was tied up on a chair with a terrified look on her face. Behind her was the shrine that Duanmu Huai had visited before...

"In fact, that's the location in Ms. Takatsuki Mio's photo."

Tezuka Renichi pointed to where he was standing.

"That's why we sent people to monitor that place. That's why my subordinates think that you two are related to the young lady..."

"Are you sure it wasn't buried underground or mixed into concrete?"

Duanmu Huai snorted lightly, while Tezuka Renyi's face was stiff.

"We hope that's not the case. Otherwise... I don't know how angry the team leader will be. By then, something serious might happen."

"…………………"

Duanmu Huai looked at the photo again. In the photo, Yingyue Mio looked like a sacrifice. On the table in front of her, there was a small table for cutting off little fingers and a short knife. Not only that, Duanmu Huai also saw that behind Yingyue Mio, the shrine was open, and there was a book with a black cover inside...

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he looked away.

"I'll try to look for it, but don't get your hopes up. I'm not sure I can find it."

"I see."

If any other detective dared to talk to Tezuka Renichi like this, the latter would definitely grab the detective's collar and start threatening him. But unfortunately, in front of Duanmu Huai, Tezuka Renichi's only choice was to be obedient and docile like a lamb.

He also had no means to threaten Duanmu Huai.

"Then please contact me if you have any questions."

Duanmu Huai exchanged business cards with the other party, then turned and left with Menmu Sanatori, who had already started yawning.

“……………Brother Tezuka, is this really okay?”

After Duanmu Huai left, a younger brother ran in, looked at Tezuka Lianyi anxiously and asked. But Tezuka Lianyi did not answer his question, but frowned.

"How are those guys injured?"

"Most of them are minor injuries. Although they are painful, they do not hurt vital parts."

Having said that, the younger brother swallowed his saliva.

“Brother, those two guys are too scary, do we really want to entrust them to do it?”

This guy was one of the people who participated in the blockade before, and because of this, he knew very well how powerful Mime-satori was. Of course, the swordsmanship of the girl was secondary. The most terrifying thing was her attitude. When she tortured those who were knocked to the ground by her, she would appear quite excited and joyful. This reminded me of the scene when I was a child playing with and dissecting frogs in biology class. In front of the girl, they were like the frogs being nailed to death in biology class, with no way to escape and could only watch themselves being toyed with to death...

As for Duanmu Huai, although he did not attack, just being watched by Duanmu Huai made these gang members breathless. It felt that his pressure was even stronger than that of the leader of the Yingyue Group. Even being watched made people feel as if their breathing was stagnant. Frankly speaking, as a gang member, he felt that those two were not human beings at all! They were more like some weird monsters!

"Of course, one more person means more strength now."

Tezuka Renichi shook his head and then looked at his younger brother.

"Send everyone out to conduct a thorough search of the area. I don't believe that we won't find any clues!"

"Yes!"
