Gin likes me?

Uozuka Saburo felt that he could not handle it, and even felt ashamed to be sitting in front of Mori Kogoro.

He certainly knew what kind of person he was, and he had no problem even pretending to be an undercover police officer to facilitate his actions.

But this does not mean that Uozuka Saburo can remain indifferent and watch herself face another man's sincerity and awareness under a false identity.

It was a great insult, both to himself and to Kogoro Mori.

However, when Uozuka Saburo, who was so upset that he wanted to overturn the table and leave, noticed that Maori Kogoro was lowering his head and his fists were clenched and trembling, he felt even more annoyed and desperate.

He understood that if he escaped at this moment, what kind of blow would this man who had risked everything in front of him face.

To put it bluntly, even if today's events are glossed over and time and reality smooth out Kogoro Mori's fiery determination at the moment, it will not be a loss to Uozuka Saburo.

However, thinking that such a man who was once so upright and had given up his dignity would succumb to reality after suffering so many blows...

With a cigarette sticking out of his mouth, Uozuka Saburo's eyes had become determined.

Everything has a cause and an effect. Since he has been pretending for such a long time, Uozuka Saburo doesn't mind continuing to maintain this identity.

It has nothing to do with justice, good or evil, it’s just that Uozuka Saburo feels like doing this.

Anyway, I am a killer. Isn't it normal to do something extraordinary and meaningless to society according to my mood?

and. . .

As Vodka's words to him more than once flashed through his mind, Uozuka Saburo's eyes became a little vague.

No one can really predict what will happen in the future, right?

"I know that if I make this decision, the people I will feel most sorry for will be the mother and daughter, but I can't let them be in danger because of me." He suddenly raised his head and heard that Uozuka Saburo did not directly refuse. The quick-witted Maori Kogoro knew that his chance might have come.

But when he heard Uozuka Saburo mention his wife and daughter, Maori Kogoro's somewhat excited eyes dimmed again.

Who can really have the heart to abandon his wife and daughter?

"Come on, Mr. Maori, if you really choose to act with me and get exposed, no matter how you cut off your relationship with the mother and daughter, they will never be safe." With a sneer, Uozuka Saburo interrupted Maori Kogoro.

In this short period of time, Uozuka Saburo already had a general idea in his mind. Although it was not perfect yet, Uozuka Saburo felt that it was feasible.

"I admire your awareness, but that doesn't mean I can accept your help. As you said, I don't trust anyone easily."

"I can prove it with my actions!" Kogoro Mori spoke anxiously. He understood what Uozuka Saburo meant, but he was really unwilling to accept it.

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Mori. I think there are two things you need to clarify now." Raising his hand to interrupt Kogoro Mori's words, Uozuka Saburo stretched out two fingers and said in a deep voice.

"First, you don't need to show me your credibility. What you need me to understand is your ability, why I would choose you to help me, and what kind of actions can help me."

"Second." The corner of his mouth pulled up a smile that made Maori Kogoro shudder for a moment. At this moment, Uozuka Saburo seemed like a devil who was teasing people to go to hell.

"How far you can go for this, how strong your determination is."

261: He will probably die soon.

"Well, although I said that in a casual way, what should I do in the future?"

Carrying the wine and snacks for Kurosawa Hotaru, Uozuka Saburo walked slowly on the way back to the safe house.

In fact, Uozuka Saburo had not completely thought about how to deal with Kogoro Mori, but he still had some ideas of his own in his mind.

Although he had always complained about Vodka's statements before, after being in the organization for a long time, Uozuka Saburo had to admit that Vodka was right most of the time.

In the current organization, the only person he can completely trust is Kurosawa Hotaru, and the people he trusts relatively are Vodka and the Miyano sisters.

As for Miyuki Daimon, although Uozuka Saburo and he worked very smoothly together on missions, Uozuka Saburo would never put him on his trust list.

This is the organization. To be honest, trust is such a luxury that Saburo Uozuka was so surprised that there were four people on his current list of newcomers.

"Anyway, Maori Kogoro needs to think about the last question for a while, so I can focus on the current matter. Now I need to think about it. The organization leader that I and the big sister will contact later is troublesome and difficult for the master. "

Scratching his hair in annoyance, Uozuka Saburo naturally turned into an alley, as if he wanted to take a shortcut.

"But it's time to go back, and I don't know if the big sister will be angry... Haha!" His footsteps suddenly paused, and with a loud roar, Uozuka Saburo suddenly twisted his body and threw the bottle in his hand heavily to the back.

"Bang!" The glass and wine hit the concrete wall and shattered and exploded, but failed to hit the target that Saburo Uozuka intended.

However, the moment he threw the bottle, Saburo Uozuka had already taken out his pistol and pointed it towards the corner.

Coming out of the tavern, Uozuka Saburo felt something was vaguely wrong behind him. Although he used the anti-reconnaissance techniques he learned from the training base to carefully observe through the glass on both sides, unfortunately, without wanting to alert the enemy, Uozuka Saburo did not notice anything wrong.

But Uozuka Saburo did not relax. In this respect, his attitude was the same as Kurosawa Hotaru's.

Even if you don't find any problems after repeated observations, if your intuition tells you that there is danger, then you must believe that there is danger around you.

Being cautious and being strong do not conflict with each other, let alone Uozuka Saburo who has experienced constant conflicts in recent days.

Although he was resting, Saburo Uozuka's tense and alert nerves had not completely relaxed.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed steadily at the corner. Actually, Uozuka Saburo did not want to take action in this awkward place at first. According to his idea, he wanted to move forward a little. In that way, even if the person behind him found out that he was luring him, it would be difficult for him to escape.

However, when Uozuka Saburo arrived here, the sense of danger made his scalp tingle, and he immediately gave up continuing to lure and took the initiative to attack.

But unfortunately, although this choice gave him some initiative, it also gave the other party the opportunity to react.

Just like it is now.

Standing at the corner, looking at the empty alley, Uozuka Saburo looked very unhappy.

He clearly felt that he was being followed, but nothing was caught. This feeling of being fooled was totally unacceptable to Saburo Uozuka.

"who is it?"

This was a problem that Saburo Uozuka wanted to figure out immediately, so much so that he did not dare to return to the safe house for a while. It was not until Kurosawa Hotaru had waited too long and called to inquire about the situation that he returned to the apartment with a gun in hand and cooperated with Saburo Uozuka to make sure the surroundings were safe.

. . .

"Hey, it's been a long time. How are you? Are you getting used to Tokyo after such a long absence?"

In a sparsely populated night bar, the dim lights and lazy record music easily create an intoxicating atmosphere in the bar.

However, this atmosphere was instantly broken by the laughter of a man who pushed open the door, looked around, and walked straight to the bar.

However, the few people in the bar didn't care about it at all.

"You are so enthusiastic towards me, but I may misunderstand you, Vodka."

Shaking the red wine in the goblet in her hand, a charming woman who looked like a goddess under the light slowly turned her head and smiled faintly at Vodka who was sitting next to her.

It was clearly a very shallow smile, but it raised the temperature in the pub.

Alluring, beautiful, dangerous.

Looking at the woman in front of him who he didn't know what words to use to describe, Vodka smiled and shook his head, not at all confused by her aura.

Everyone knew each other too well, and they all knew how dangerous and unscrupulous the person sitting opposite them was.

"Forget it. If other people in the organization hear it and misunderstand it, I will be in trouble."

"Oh, Master Vodka, who is known as the pillar of the action team and is deeply trusted by the boss, would you have such worries?" The smile on her face became even happier, and the woman seemed to really enjoy teasing Vodka like this.

"Don't be. Compared to the new boss, who can compare to you, Vermouth." Vodka took the drink from the bartender and took a big sip, then looked at the woman in front of him with a smile.

"Not to mention, I've been tormented to death by Rum for some time. Now that you're finally here, my task will be a little easier."

"You actually put your hopes on a little girl. You really disappoint me, Vodka."

"Young lady? Haha, this is the most..."

"Huh?~"

"That's the most correct thing to say. To be honest, Vermouth, you are really enviable. We have known each other for so many years, and you haven't aged at all. It's amazing." He praised Vermouth with a smile, drank the beer in the glass and half of the vodka in one gulp, then twisted his neck with a smile.

"I heard from Rum that you arrived early and I was shocked. So, what do you think of Tokyo now?"

"I have no interest in this topic. Tokyo, hasn't it always been like this?" The Zen-trained fingers gently stroked the rim of the goblet, and Vermouth glanced at the vodka.

"But I did meet your apprentice, Vodka, today."

"Oh, how do you feel?"

"It's pretty good. I think he'll die quickly."

262: Provoke me?

"Tsk, you think so too. It seems that I am really a failure as a master."

He made a somewhat unhappy sound, but there was no trace of annoyance in the words that came out of Vodka's mouth.

"It's really a failure. You clearly saw where the problem was, but you just left it alone. You are really a good master."

Looking at Vodka with a smile, Vermouth didn't care about other people's feelings at all. The sarcastic words came out of her mouth lightly.

"I don't care what he becomes, but I just hope he doesn't affect my people."

"I was a little curious when I heard that you accepted an apprentice in Japan, but now it seems that you just want to have some fun?"

"Hey, hey, that's too much. Saburo and I have a very good relationship, and I have taught him a lot, right?" Vodka slapped the table in dissatisfaction. He felt that Vermouth's opinion of him was too extreme.

"As for Sanlang, his abilities in all aspects are outstanding. In terms of comprehensive evaluation, except for that perverted little girl, there has not been such a talent in the organization in the past ten years, if not twenty years."

"That's why I said, do you want to have some fun?" Looking at the vodka with a smile, Vermouth took a sip of red wine.

“No matter how outstanding your abilities or how high your talents are, they are gone when you die.”

"He clearly realized he was being followed, but his first thought was to lure him to a remote place and deal with him himself. He felt something was wrong, so his first reaction was to attack first."

"Vodka, are you training your apprentice like those brainless policemen in Neon?"

"Don't say that. I really like Saburo's innocence." Vodka lit a cigarette with a smile. Facing Vermouth's constant sarcasm, Vodka acted as if he didn't care.

"And not only do I like it, even that girl Kurosawa Hotaru likes it~"

"Really? That's because she's still young and doesn't understand what..."

"Oh, the two girls from the Miyano family also like it. What do you think? Do you think we have good taste~"

"..." The slightly narrowed eyes slowly widened, and the curve of the corners of the mouth became more obvious. However, although Vermouth was smiling, she did not give people any warm feeling at all.

"Vodka, after all these years, your mouth is still so annoying."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. This is my personality. That's why I have to work hard to improve my strength to avoid being beaten to death." He smiled and shrugged. At this moment, Vodka was very happy and laughed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

"But to be honest, I am very optimistic about Sanlang. Anyway, your future mission partners will be the two of them. Although I know you are here to observe that girl, you are still a team anyway. You can also take a good look at Sanlang. Don't worry, his performance will surprise you."

"Rather, if you hadn't retreated so quickly today, you would have seen how good Saburo is."

"Oh, that's really a pity." Hearing the provocation in Vodka's words, Vermouth nodded with a smile.

Being able to make this old fox-like guy confront him so sharply, it seems that the man named Uozuka Saburo is really valued by him.

"I hope that in the next mission, nothing will be affected by his ridiculous recklessness. Otherwise, I will not show mercy~"

After drinking the red wine in the glass in small sips, Vermouth raised the glass to the vodka, then stood up and walked out of the bar slowly.

"Show mercy, I want you to show no mercy, Vermouth." Watching Vermouth's figure slowly disappear from his sight, Vodka grinned and revealed a triumphant smile.

"Sanlang, Sanlang, don't blame the master for being cruel. There are some things that would be too hurtful if I were to teach you. It's better to let that witch do it."

"Also, Master, I am really curious about how you will change in the hands of that witch. I hope I am not wrong, Sanlang."

. . .

"So, after waiting for so many days with great anticipation, the first task we face is a guessing game?"

When time quietly came to the date Vodka had asked for, Saburo Uozuka, who followed the address on his mobile phone to the destination, stared with dead eyes, full of complaints and complaints that could no longer be expressed in words.

After the conversation with Vodka, Uozuka Saburo made many guesses and plans about this man who would soon become the cadre of the organization led by himself and Kurosawa Hotaru.

After all, this is a task that even Vodka finds troublesome, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

but! !! !!

Looking at the new anonymous email on his mobile phone, Saburo Uozuka resisted the urge to throw it to the ground.

[Find me before 20:00. The range is this commercial street. I look forward to your performance. ~]

"Looking for your sister, I'm going to shoot you after I find you, right? And then add ? Acting cute? Are you some little witch wearing a skirt and holding a magic wand? Damn it, do you want me to ask you if you want to make a contract with me after we meet, you bastard!"

"Calm down, Uozuka." His eyebrows were furrowed. Although he was a little disgusted by the email on his mobile phone, Kurosawa Hotaru was much calmer when it came to acting.

Rather, she was a little curious as to why Uozuka Saburo's emotions and reactions were so strong.

"I'm sorry I lost my composure, Big Sister." Taking a deep breath, Uozuka Saburo tried hard to calm himself down.
