Gin likes me?

However, such an action was a bit too abrupt, and it would be inappropriate whether Suzuki Ayako did it herself or asked someone to do it on her behalf.

"I think this may be a little inappropriate. After all, we don't know the main reason for the conflict in Mr. Maori's family."

After thinking for a while, Uozuka Saburo shook his head at Suzuki Ayako and did not support her idea.

After all, if what Kogoro Mori said to him before was true, his current actions are easy to understand. He just wants to cause conflict unilaterally and then make his wife and daughter leave him. In this way, he will be determined to really contact Saburo Uozuka.

"But it seems that you are not doing well, Mr. Maori Kogoro, and you don't seem to have listened to what I said to you before."

There was a subtle look in his eyes, and Uozuka Saburo did not make any comment on Kogoro Mori's actions.

Although he had some new ideas of his own in his mind, he did not necessarily have to leave a place for Kogoro Mori.

"That's true. I'd better not get involved in it then." She nodded slightly. It was actually a normal thing for Suzuki Ayako. If Uozuka Saburo hadn't mentioned that he knew Mori Kogoro, Suzuki Ayako would not have continued to discuss this topic.

"By the way, Ayako, are you still going to school and helping with things at your family's company at the same time?"

"Well, as for college, I don't have to worry about anything now. I have already mastered all the knowledge. If it weren't for your support in letting me stay in school longer and not miss out on the once-in-a-lifetime student life, I could have already worked full-time in the Suzuki Group."

Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a smile, Suzuki Ayako really liked that Uozuka Saburo brought the topic to herself.

She knew that this was a sign of concern from Uozuka Saburo. Since Uozuka Saburo was so proactive, Suzuki Ayako would certainly give him this opportunity.

"I am right in thinking so, because I feel that although you, Ayako, are very capable and talented, at your age, you should not put all your energy into that kind of tiring corporate life." Looking at Suzuki Ayako with approval, Uozuka Saburo felt from the bottom of his heart that everyone should spend their own student life.

Anyway, before he traveled through time, he really liked the school life.

"Anyway, your Suzuki Group is so powerful, you don't need our Ayako, right~"

"Well, I'll listen to you, Mr. Uozuka. I'm actually very interested in university campus life, but I'm not going to give up on the company either. After all, I've been working here for such a long time, and I've developed some feelings for it. I want to see the company develop little by little under my control~"

She nodded obediently. When Suzuki Ayako said these words, she actually felt very sorry for Uozuka Saburo in her heart.

She already knew Saburo Uozuka very well and knew how he longed for and loved a normal student life.

Unfortunately, Uozuka Saburo no longer has the chance to experience such a life.

"That's right. If you were attending college normally, I would have time to ask you out when I'm not on a mission. If you have a formal job, it won't be so easy to meet you."

"No, as long as Mr. Uozuka misses me, I will rush to Mr. Uozuka's side as quickly as possible after receiving the call!"

She quickly reached out and grabbed Uozuka Saburo's hand, then Suzuki Ayako raised her head and looked at Uozuka Saburo seriously, as if she was swearing.

"You just talk nonsense all day long. If there is really an important matter that needs your personal handling, can you just leave it all behind? The Ayako I know is not such an irresponsible person." He raised his other hand with a funny look, bent his index finger and gently tapped Suzuki Ayako's forehead. Looking at Suzuki Ayako who suddenly looked at him with some grievance, Uozuka Saburo, who knew what the other party wanted, could only reach out his hand helplessly and gently put his arm around Suzuki Ayako's shoulders.

Yes, for such actions, Saburo Uozuka has become accustomed to it after his bottom line has been tested again and again.

"Okay, of course I know exactly how you feel about me, Ayako, so there's no need to keep saying things like this that would make me feel embarrassed."

"Hehe, I just want to make Mr. Uozuka feel guilty, so that I won't be abandoned by Mr. Uozuka~"

"You..." Helplessly looking at Suzuki Ayako who was snuggling in his arms with a smile on her face and a happy expression, Uozuka Saburo felt both happy and nervous.

He felt that he really liked Suzuki Ayako, a girl who dared to love and hate.

However, he also felt that he really couldn't find a suitable reason to confess this matter to Kurosawa Hotaru.

Damn, why are these lips so soft and sweet!

278: I'm all ears

"I didn't expect you to contact me so soon, Mr. Maori."

Looking at Mouri Kogoro who was sitting opposite him again with subtle eyes, Uozuka Saburo felt that, although he had not fully understood other aspects, from the perspective of will and persistence, Mouri Kogoro was definitely an outstanding person.

"Because I feel that I don't need more time to prepare. That would only make Mr. Kurosawa think I'm weak."

Looking at Uozuka Saburo seriously, Maori Kogoro sat steadily on the chair, as if he was about to carve the word "enlightenment" on his face.

"So, you are ready?" Raising his eyebrows, Saburo Uozuka looked at Kogoro Mori with a look of curiosity in his eyes.

He also didn't expect that he had just talked with Suzuki Ayako about the situation at Mori Kogoro's family yesterday, and as a result, he would receive a message from Mori Kogoro requesting a meeting early the next morning.

Thinking of what Suzuki Ayako had said to him, Uozuka Saburo looked at Mori Kogoro with a slightly different look in his eyes.

Does this man really want to cut off ties with his family because of his own awakening and beliefs?

"Yes, I'm ready, Mr. Kurosawa." Without any hesitation, Kogoro Mori quickly responded to Saburo Uozuka's words.

However, this answer was not what Uozuka Saburo wanted to hear.

"Are you really ready, Mr. Mori?" Looking at Kogoro Mori with a playful look, Uozuka Saburo leaned back slightly. Although he did not ask any harsh questions, Kogoro Mori felt very uncomfortable.

"...Yes, I'm ready." When faced with Uozuka Saburo's second question, although Mori Kogoro also gave a definite answer, it was not as strong as the first time.

"It seems that what you said, Mr. Maori, is not what you really mean." Smiling and shaking his head, Uozuka Saburo took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"I still remember the first time I met Mr. Maori. Does Mr. Maori still remember it?"

"Of course, it was that day that Mr. Kurosawa saved my daughter, Xiaolan, and I am extremely grateful for that!" Looking at Uozuka Saburo seriously, Kogoro Mori felt a little depressed.

He had originally wanted to skip the topic, but it was brought to the surface by Uozuka Saburo.

"It's just a coincidence. Mr. Mori, there's no need to take it so seriously." Smiling and waving his hands, Uozuka Saburo ignored Kogoro Mori's changing connection and continued to speak to himself.

"But your wife and daughter left a very good impression on me. Your wife is beautiful and generous, and your daughter is well-behaved and cute. Mr. Maori is really a happy man."

"...Yes, I am indeed very happy to have Eri and Xiaolan."

"So, Mr. Mori, I'm very curious, after you decided to follow me and came to me now, how did you deal with your family problems?" His eyes were fixed on Kogoro Mori. Although he had some guesses in his mind, Uozuka Saburo now needed Kogoro Mori to say it in person.

"...Huh~" Facing Uozuka Saburo's question, Maori Kogoro sighed deeply, with sadness and stubbornness mixed together on his face. He answered Uozuka Saburo's question in a tone as if he hated himself.

"I have separated from my wife and daughter. Although we haven't divorced yet, we no longer live together."

"I'd feel sorry for my daughter if I leave her to my wife, but I believe that Eri will be able to raise Xiaolan well."

"And you will no longer have any contact with them, and just want to send some money every month to appease your heart as a father and husband?"

Waving his hand to interrupt Kogoro Mori's words, Uozuka Saburo did not find the answer strange, but felt a little powerless.

If there were really other ways, he didn't want to involve Kogoro Mori with himself, but after seeing the man's persistence, Saburo Uozuka knew that if he didn't come forward to guide Kogoro Mori a little, he might be driven by his increasingly irrational mind and move towards the path of self-destruction faster.

It's a very simple reason. Kogoro Mouri knew that Saburo Uozuka's identity was not ordinary. Except for the meeting on the day he rescued Xiaolan, he learned the rest of the information from Xiaolan.

After all, Xiaolan and Sonoko have a close relationship. Every day at school, just chatting with them will allow Xiaolan to learn some things about Uozuka Saburo from Sonoko.

Through this, Kogoro Mori can easily find the relationship between himself and Suzuki Ayako. Regardless of whether he will get useful information from Suzuki Ayako later, he will not give up observing Suzuki Ayako's behavior and continue to try to investigate things about the organization in Tokyo.

As a member of the action team, Saburo Uozuka knew very well what the organization would do when faced with people who had no background but dared to investigate the organization's affairs.

If it is true that Kogoro Mori persevered in finding out the identity and the organization issued the order, then after eliminating Kogoro Mori, the organization would not miss the opportunity to investigate the network of relationships around him.

At this time, if Suzuki Ayako was really involved, Uozuka Saburo would be really in tears.

So, instead of letting Kogoro Mori wander around outside by himself, Uozuka Saburo felt that it would be better to grit his teeth, show him a way, calm him down, and stop him from jumping around.

Moreover, if Kogoro Mori really showed the ability to attract the attention of Saburo Uozuka, Saburo Uozuka would not mind finding an assistant for himself as Vodka said.

"It seems that you still don't fully understand, Mr. Mori." Looking at Kogoro Mori's stunned expression, Uozuka Saburo thought that he should try his best to save this man who had already gone a little crazy.

. . .

It took almost half an hour for Uozuka Saburo and Mori Kogoro to reach the most basic consensus.

However, Kogoro Mori also had his own persistence. Although he gave up the idea of ​​completely severing contact with his wife and daughter after hearing Saburo Uozuka's explanation, he still decided to move out and live alone.

In this way, it will be much more convenient to take action when receiving orders from Saburo Uozuka in the later stage.

After confirming the family factors that had been bothering him these days, Kogoro Mori felt a lot more relaxed.

With a smile on his face again, Kogoro Mouri took a sip of coffee and looked at Saburo Uozuka with a gleam in his eyes.

"Then Mr. Kurosawa, please let me tell you about the plan I have come up with after thinking about it these days."

"Oh, I'm all ears."

279: There is no way to save pedantic justice

The subsequent conversation can be said to have gone relatively smoothly.

Having resolved his worries, Kogoro Mori confidently introduced to Saburo Uozuka the idea he had been working hard on at home over the past few days.

He plans to register as a private investigator.

The reason is very simple. As a former policeman who has good friends and relationships in the Metropolitan Police Department, Kogoro Mori does not want to completely give up this convenience.

The purpose is to investigate the corrupt personnel within the police, so of course we cannot cut off contact with the police.

If he develops into a private detective in the future, he will have an excuse to intervene in police affairs. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has an inexplicable liking for detectives, and this was already understood when Kogoro Mouri was still a policeman.

In addition, as a private detective, his working hours are completely determined by his mood and actions, which is very flexible. He can basically cut off the situation where personal matters would delay the communication with Uozuka Saburo. Moreover, as a private detective, even when conducting some investigations, it will not appear abrupt, which can greatly improve the tolerance of the organization.

After all, when investigating the organization's affairs, some content may be accidentally brought up during the investigation of other cases, but the focus is not on the organization, which is completely the case with Lianzhong.

As for Kogoro Mori's idea, Saburo Uozuka also agreed very much.

It can be said that Kogoro Mouri gave himself a surprise. Originally, Uozuka Saburo wanted to use his own channels to help Kogoro Mouri find a position in a club in Tokyo to facilitate his actions, but it was obvious after comparison that Kogoro Mouri's plan was better.

Well, now that we have discussed the planning aspects, what remains is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Kogoro Mori.

In terms of intelligence, Uozuka Saburo felt that Mori Kogoro was good enough and it was enough that he could come up with such a suitable plan in just a few days.

Although there are still many details that need to be refined, some of the problems seem just right to Saburo Uozuka.

To a certain extent, Kogoro Mori is his subordinate, and he is a subordinate who misunderstood his identity and wanted to work with him to restore justice.

If you are too smart, many things will be difficult to handle.

It was still early, and neither Uozuka Saburo nor Mori Kogoro were ready to eat lunch.

Under the leadership of Saburo Uozuka, in just four hours in the afternoon, Kogoro Mori followed Saburo Uozuka without stopping.

He was first pulled into a private fighting classroom by Saburo Uozuka. After a simple warm-up, he tested Saburo Uozuka's hand-to-hand combat ability and weapon fighting skills.

Then he took Kogoro Mouri to a shooting training camp, and spent more than an hour letting Kogoro Mouri play with everything from pistols to rifles, and from rifles to submachine guns.

Finally, Uozuka Saburo, who was standing next to the panting Kogoro Mori and looking at the evaluation results, finally showed a satisfied expression.

He felt like he had really found a treasure.

Based on the level of performance of Kogoro Mouri, Saburo Uozuka felt that it was a waste of his talent for him to be an ordinary policeman in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Needless to say, in terms of physical strength, as a former policeman and a field officer, although he has been idle for a while, Kogoro Maori's physical data are all very good. In terms of fighting, although he did not beat Saburo Uozuka in the end, Kogoro Maori's shoulder throw that almost made Saburo Uozuka suffer a great loss was really eye-catching.

Although his performance in weapon fighting was somewhat unsatisfactory, his results in martial arts were able to make up for the gap. Moreover, with such a talent in martial arts, Uozuka Saburo was confident that Kogoro Mori would quickly master the essentials of weapon fighting.

As for shooting, Kogoro Mori also achieved encouraging results.

The best result was with the pistol. He scored ten rings almost every time in close-range shooting. Moreover, the design of Kogoro Maori took into account both speed and accuracy, which surprised the coach and boss who was watching the fun at the side.

The next best result was in shooting with a submachine gun, but for a rifle with a slightly longer range, Kogoro Mori's level was not as amazing as that with a pistol.

Although it is possible to hit the target with every shot.

However, Saburo Uozuka also understood. After all, Kogoro Mori was a police officer who graduated from the police academy. Pistol training was enough for him. It was not a special special forces department.

Although there are still some aspects that want to test Kogoro Mori, unfortunately, there is no way to take Kogoro Mori to a better-equipped organization training ground. This training camp with a club background and which has exceeded the standard in "firearms training" is the best place that Saburo Uozuka can find.

"Mr. Maori, although I guessed that you would be someone who would make my heart beat, I didn't expect that the abilities you showed would be so outstanding."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri happily, Uozuka Saburo was in a completely different mood at this moment.

He was moved! It would be a pity to miss such a talent!

Even if you can't recruit him into the organization, staying and helping with work is also a great choice!

"I'm very happy to get such evaluation from Mr. Kurosawa. I finally feel relieved." He nodded with a smile, as if Uozuka Saburo was very satisfied with Mouri Kogoro's performance. After running around all day today, Mouri Kogoro had more respect for Uozuka Saburo.

We know that Uozuka Saburo is no more than 20 years old, and to be assigned such a dangerous undercover mission at this age, he must be an outstanding talent in all aspects.

But when Kogoro Mori saw with his own eyes the performance of Saburo Uozuka in all aspects, he was really impressed by Saburo Uozuka's performance.

"Well, after we go back, we will prepare according to the plan you told me, Mr. Maori. By the way, physical training and combat technique training cannot be neglected. You must always maintain a high level of combat fitness and condition."

"As for the fighting aspect, I will find you a training club. Mr. Maori needs to learn it well."

"Here is the membership card for the shooting club. With this card, it will be much easier for you to train. I am very optimistic about your shooting talent, Mr. Maori. I also hope that you can be calm enough to pull the trigger when you aim at the target."

"Please believe me, Mr. Kurosawa, when I decided to follow you, I already understood that pedantic justice cannot save the Tokyo police!" Looking at Uozuka Saburo seriously, Kogoro Mori was overwhelmed with emotion when he knew that he had passed the test.

"I'm standing here just to eradicate those bastards!"
