Gin likes me?

He was still somewhat excited. After all, it was his first time to undertake such a mission. He also used his detective identity to hone his observation and hidden abilities. He was of course very happy to have achieved results.

"After Brother Liu discovered the person who was following Miss Kurosawa, I also subconsciously observed that person, but quickly looked away because my task was to cover Brother Liu without being exposed." Picking up the water cup and taking a sip, Kogoro Maori excitedly described his performance at that time in a vivid manner.

"And just as I was shifting my gaze, I noticed that a person sitting not far from where I was sitting in the open-air restaurant was also looking at that person and Ms. Kurosawa."

"Although we were some distance apart, I was able to confirm that the man had been concentrating on observing Ms. Kurosawa. The most important thing was that when I was carefully observing him, I found evidence that the man who was openly following her saw Ms. Kurosawa enter the apartment, walk a few steps, and then pick up the phone. At the same time, the person in the restaurant also picked up the phone and answered it."

"Oh, is that so? Where is that person now?" He stood up anxiously. Saburo Uozuka did not expect that Kogoro Mori could discover such an important situation.

"Don't worry, Kurosawa. Now that I've discovered such a good situation, how can I just defend myself and come back as if nothing happened?"

Smiling, he pressed Uozuka Saburo's shoulder and asked him to sit down first. Liu Hu took out the signal receiver from their equipment box, opened it and found a flashing red dot that was working.

"After I got the news from the Maori brothers, I immediately contacted that person in disguise and left a signal transmitter on the back of his shoe. It is not a problem to find him through this. Or rather..." Looking at the display on the screen, Liu Hu narrowed his eyes.

"It's not time for us to go looking for them yet."

"You make sense, Brother Liu, but we also need to make some preparations." The spirits were lifted, and Uozuka Saburo was very happy to have obtained unexpected information. This was the first step for their smooth operation, which was enough to boost their morale.

. . .

"Is this the place?" Sitting in the black car that Liu Hu got through some means, Uozuka Saburo carefully looked through the glass at the restaurant about 100 meters to the front and side.

"Yes, the location indicated by the signal is right there. How about we go over and take a look?" Liu Hu raised his eyebrows. Compared to Uozuka Saburo's curiosity about that man, he was more interested in the batch of professional equipment he had obtained.

Not to mention the general weapons and firearms, those high-tech electronic equipment really made Liu Hu's eyes light up.

It is exquisite and easy to use. It is definitely the equipment made for undercover agents!

It’s just a pity that when Liu Hu asked two questions out of curiosity, Uozuka Saburo was a little embarrassed and hesitant, not knowing how to answer.

After all, Saburo Uozuka couldn't say that it was my girlfriend who, because she was worried about me, used the technology center under her own name to modify some of the equipment she had applied for from the organization.

Yes, in addition to those guns, what Saburo Uozuka brought to Magnesium included but was not limited to eavesdropping devices, camouflaged monitors, small signal transmitters and receivers, small remote-controlled cameras with self-destruct devices, etc., all of which were purchased by Ayako Suzuki personally to help Saburo Uozuka.

The origin of the thing also shocked Saburo Uozuka when he learned about it for the first time.

It turned out that after officially establishing an ambiguous relationship with Uozuka Saburo and feeling that Uozuka Saburo was not really determined to stay away from her, Suzuki Ayako had already started to worry about Uozuka Saburo's affairs on her own.

Although Suzuki Ayako is not good enough in the mission and Uozuka Saburo will not agree to let Suzuki Ayako participate, what if I can use my own methods to make Uozuka Saburo safer when performing the mission?

With this idea in mind, Suzuki Ayako used the wealth she had accumulated since childhood, and even found her parents and her uncle, Suzuki Jirokichi, who was willing to participate enthusiastically. With their help, she established a scientific research laboratory with the hidden group under the Suzuki Group.

It was announced to the outside world that communication equipment was being researched and manufactured, but in fact, the biggest task of this laboratory, which was completely controlled by Suzuki Jirokichi, was to satisfy Suzuki Ayako's needs from all angles for the improvement and upgrade of equipment that could help Uozuka Saburo in the mission.

No cost is spared, only the performance is required to be the best! Under such requirements, those "research madmen" in the research laboratory conducted numerous studies and experiments with fanatical interest.

But when Suzuki Ayako was worried about Saburo Uozuka's safety this time and chose to take out some of the best items, Saburo Uozuka was completely dumbfounded.

Even though he had become a hot super star cadre in the Neon Organization and was able to apply for the organization's best equipment and gear when he went out on missions, he was still stunned when he saw what Suzuki Ayako brought him.

If the things taken out by the organization are high-tech of this era, and it is also limited by the nature of the organization and it is difficult to get the world's top equipment, then what Suzuki Ayako took out can be said to be the complete black technology of this era.

Apart from the fact that the cost of each item is too high and they are so exquisite that they cannot even be mass-produced, there is nothing wrong with these things even with Saburo Uozuka's professional eye!

Of course, after getting these equipments, Saburo Uozuka's first reaction was happiness and excitement.

After all, as a professional killer, he also fantasized about being able to kill people with all kinds of sci-fi and high-tech methods, just like 007 in the movies of his previous life.

The second reaction is more realistic.

Suzuki Ayako said that these things were made for her own use, but that doesn't mean she can't use them.

Of course, Saburo Uozuka would never ask Suzuki Ayako such a question, he still believed in Suzuki Ayako.

Well, except for carefully checking all the things that Suzuki Ayako gave me after I got home.

Ahem, of course, this is just an action taken out of professionalism as a killer and has no other meaning.

"Let's take a look around first. Brother Maori, please find a good spot. If you have any questions, please contact us immediately. If you are in the store, Brother Liu and I will go in."

"receive."

389: Because of your professionalism, I can only give you 2.5 points

After entering the restaurant not far away, Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu first pretended to separate casually and took a rough glance at the environment and personnel distribution in the restaurant.

Maybe it was because it was already a little late, Uozuka Saburo and his friends were lucky enough to find that there was not a single customer in the restaurant, not even a waiter. The only sound was the humming coming from the kitchen which was blocked by the door curtain.

"Oh, are there guests? Welcome." Hearing the bell ringing when the door was pushed open, the person in the kitchen came out with a warm smile, lifted the door curtain and smiled.

"Boss, why are there no customers here at this time? Could it be that the food doesn't taste good, so no one is here?" Sitting in front of the dining table, Uozuka Saburo joked with a smile.

After glancing at the kitchen revealed behind the opened door curtain, Uozuka Saburo finally understood why he had a very familiar feeling when he entered this restaurant.

Isn't this the sushi place in Neon? Except for the different decorations, the layout is pretty much the same!

"Haha, how is that possible? Our cuisine is what I'm most proud of. There aren't many people here at this time because the store's opening hours are unstable. Only those who can walk into the store to eat are lucky guests." He smiled and wiped the table in front of Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu. He was obviously a classic blond middle-aged man from Magnesium with a slightly potbellied image, but the service given to Uozuka Saburo by the boss in front of him made him feel as polite as if he had returned to Neon.

"Boss, have you ever been to Neon? To be honest, I am from Neon."

"Oh! So that's how it is? I did go to Neon when I was young, but later I came back to develop my career due to family and work reasons. However, because of my experience in Neon, I became obsessed with sushi. So I bought myself a shop when I could not spare time, and I come here to run the sushi when I have time." After hearing what Saburo Uozuka said, the man smiled even more happily and brightly, and even moved closer to Saburo Uozuka, as if he wanted to chat for a while.

"Then boss, you have to show your best skills. I'm a very picky person. When I was in Japan, I often caused trouble for those bosses who boasted of their good skills."

“Don’t worry, it’s fate that you can come to my shop today. I will make sure that you and your friends have a happy meal!” He gave a thumbs up confidently. After confirming the dishes that Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu wanted, the boss turned around and walked into the kitchen without saying a word and started taking the ingredients to cook.

Seeing the boss walk into the kitchen, Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu looked at each other. Uozuka Saburo continued to sit at the bar and watch the boss prepare the food, while Liu Hu pretended to be curious and looked around, then walked out of the restaurant.

"What's the situation around here?" Liu Hu put the microphone on the inside of his collar to his lips, closed the curtains on the only two windows of the restaurant, and walked to the door of the restaurant.

"It's safe. I found a position with a good view. I observed carefully and there are no ambushes or stalkers around. As long as you move quickly, there will be no problem." Kogoro Mouri, who had already assembled the rifle and placed it on the window frame and found a high position with a very good view, calmed his breathing and entered sniper mode.

His task was to ensure that Liu Hu and Uozuka Saburo would not be disturbed by other people or sudden situations while in the restaurant.

"Ok, you keep watching. Call us on the headset if there is anything." Very satisfied with the answer given by Maori Kogoro, Liu Hu supported the bell on the door frame with one hand to prevent it from making any sound, and carefully opened the door. Then he turned the sign hanging on the door from "Open for Business" to "Closed" and quietly closed the door.

"What do you mean?" Feeling Liu Hu walking back to him, Uozuka Saburo raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

"Of course everything is OK on our side, how about yours?"

"Of course there is no problem. At least we are sure that we did not find the wrong person." Shrugging his shoulders, Uozuka Saburo stood up with the help of the table, then walked to the door curtain first, lifted it open and walked into the kitchen.

"Oh, guest, even if you are very hungry, you can't come directly to the kitchen. I will be ready soon. Please wait for a moment."

Stunned by Uozuka Saburo's sudden action, the boss smiled bitterly and shook his head, motioning with his hand for Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu to go out and wait for a while.

However, Saburo Uozuka did not follow his advice. Instead, he walked to the cooking table, picked up a grilled noodle on the plate and put it into his mouth.

"Well, out of five, the freshness of the ingredients is three points, the firmness and plasticity of the sushi are very good, four points. As for the taste, it's a little worse, so I can only give it two points. The control of the roasting temperature is a bit too poor. The craftsmanship is still far behind those old chefs in Tokyo."

With a faint smile on his face, Saburo Uozuka picked up another sushi and put it in his mouth in front of the boss.

"As for the overall rating, I'll give you 2.5. I hope you can keep up the good work."

"Sir, if the score is three points, four points and two points, my average score should be three, right?" The boss shook his head and laughed. It was obvious that he did not take Uozuka Saburo's rude behavior to heart.

"Oh, I forgot to mention this. The reason why your average score is lowered is my disappointment in your professional ability. I can only give you 1 point in this regard."

After sucking his fingers, Uozuka Saburo tilted his head and grinned.

"After all, if you want to put anesthetics or poison in food, no matter how to avoid being discovered by the target person, the dosage you put is already very unqualified. I guess you are not a professional. The dosage you put in this sushi, a trained person like me, would have to eat at least five plates before passing out after 20 minutes. It takes too long."

"Damn it!" The expression on his face suddenly became ferocious. The boss quickly picked up the kitchen knife at hand and stabbed Uozuka Saburo's neck fiercely.

However, Liu Hu's movements were faster than Uozuka Saburo's.

"Peng!"

"Ugh!" Looking at the boss who fell heavily to the ground while covering his bleeding nose, Uozuka Saburo sighed, then took a piece of sushi and handed it to Liu Hu.

"Well, the taste is average, but it's good enough to fill your stomach. Do you want to try it?"

"Forget it. I'm not interested in this kind of thing with raw meat on rice."

"It's not raw meat. He has roasted it. Forget it. Let's get down to business."

390: Do you still think it’s easy?

"Although I'm in the same business as you, sometimes I still have to curse."

Sitting back in the passenger seat of the car, Saburo Uozuka lit a cigarette with some annoyance and anger.

"Can't these people have some professionalism? It's fine if you kill people when you're on a mission, but can you not treat killing as your own fun and hobby? There are so many interesting things in this world, why do you have to make it like this! They all deserve to die."

"Okay, calm down. That bastard has gotten his retribution. I promise that my last few stabs will make him slowly feel the excessive bleeding, and then die in pain." Liu Hu shrugged and asked Uozuka Saburo for a cigarette. Although he said it with a smile, the murderous intent in his tone was no less than that of Uozuka Saburo.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Liu Hu and Uozuka Saburo had already sensed something was wrong.

It is obvious that this shop cannot have something like the shops in China that slaughter live sheep. Even if there is, it is impossible for them to be slaughtered in the shop, right?

And the most important thing is that the smell of blood that they wanted to suppress with detergents or something like that was something that Liu Hu and Uozuka Saburo were very familiar with.

The taste of human blood compared to the taste of ordinary animal blood is too easy to distinguish for two people who have seen human blood more often than animal blood.

After the tied man asked for what he wanted, Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu followed the smell of blood and found a locked warehouse.

What they saw after opening the warehouses was the reason why Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu were so angry.

After all, if they were facing a killer or a criminal, Liu Hu and Uozuka Saburo would not care.

However, if the person they meet is a criminal labeled as a pervert, Liu Hu and Uozuka Saburo feel that they should do something to make that pervert feel what cruelty is in the world.

"I'm back. It's been very quiet. It seems there's no hidden person watching around." He slammed the door shut and put his briefcase containing the disassembled rifle aside. He stretched his neck which was a little stiff from lying down for a long time. Then, Kogoro Mouri raised his head belatedly and looked at Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu who were smoking in front of him.

"What happened? Didn't you get what you wanted?"

"Not really. The situation has been asked. However, some upsetting things have also happened, so I won't mention them." Waving his hand, Uozuka Saburo lowered the car window slightly. At the same time, Liu Hu also started the car.

"Let's find a place to eat something."

. . .

"The account has been found. The owner of the account application information is a homeless person who is missing. My friends are still helping to investigate, but there won't be any discoveries in the short term."

After rolling up a piece of pasta and stuffing it into his mouth, Saburo Uozuka, who had just hung up the phone, spoke vaguely.

"I've guessed this a long time ago. As for the loss of the account used for transactions, that Han Kao will definitely pay attention to it. After all, although I don't know Yuan Yuan, it is not impossible to find someone through information on the Internet." Shrugging his shoulders, Liu Hu was very calm about this somewhat discouraging news.

"But it's good to be able to catch some clues. I'll have to ask your friend to help me. Let's see what his level is."

Liu Hu swallowed a sip of red wine with some disgust, and gritted his teeth when Maori Kogoro and Uozuka Saburo suggested that they have a steak together.

Liu Hu could still tell the quality of the beef by taste, but instead of cooking it this way, Liu Hu felt that it would be more enjoyable to put large chunks of it in a pot and stew it. If that didn't work, you could marinate it and then cut it into skewers and grill it.

And this wine is tasteless!

"Although my friend is not very serious in normal times, he can still be useful at critical moments." Uozuka Saburo still has confidence in Kimura Taka's ability to do things.

"Then let's wait for the investigation. Besides, judging from the information we got before, we do have things to do, right?"

On the other side, Kogoro Mouri, who was eating with gusto, raised his head, took out a tissue and wiped the sauce off his grown beard, then looked at Saburo Uozuka with sharp eyes.

"Didn't you say, Kurosawa, that you found out from that man that there is someone who is likely to know the location of Hancock John?"

"That's right." After swallowing the noodles in his mouth, Uozuka Saburo took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious and excited.

"According to that person, after he got in touch with Hancock John, he had been helping Hancock John gather information and sell stolen goods. When a payment went wrong, out of curiosity, he got hold of another person who was connected to Hancock John. He treated this evidence as his last resort and never told anyone."

His eyes flickered constantly, and Uozuka Saburo felt that this was the biggest gain they had gained since coming to New York.

"Andrea Vitels, this woman is our next target!"

He uttered the name in a calm and powerful tone, and Uozuka Saburo's lowered voice seemed particularly powerful at this moment.

"It's obviously a good thing that the goal has been determined, but we will face many difficulties next." Liu Hu, who swallowed all the cut steak and felt that he would never eat steak again in his life, wiped his mouth with a subtle expression.

"What's wrong, Brother Liu, do you know something?" Noticing that something was wrong with Liu Hu's expression, Uozuka Saburo immediately asked with a frown.

"Kurosawa, you should remember what that guy said after he said this woman's name."

"Of course, Andrea Vitels, the female president of the Vitelli Group, is there anything wrong?"

"Well, Kurosawa, you also know the relationship between me and Thompson, so you should know something about this aspect." Touching his beard, Liu Hu looked around and gave up the idea of ​​lighting a cigarette after dinner.

"I'm too lazy to talk about the Vitelli Group's business in the open. What's worth paying attention to is what it does in the dark."

"It's one of the top ten arms groups in the world. Whether it's manufacturing or selling, it's an organization that can produce results that satisfy customers. So, do you still think it's easy to get in touch with her?"
