Gin likes me?

144: I should just shut up!

"not in a good mood?"

"It doesn't count."

After recovering from his daze, Uozuka Saburo touched his head and smiled foolishly as he looked at Kurosawa Hotaru lying on his bed, flipping through a textbook that she would use for tomorrow's class.

"..."

After silently giving Uozuka Saburo a look, Kurosawa Hotaru didn't say much, but Uozuka Saburo had already started laughing awkwardly.

He knew that he should tell Kurosawa Hotaru something he wanted to know.

"Big sister, are you going on a mission today as well?"

"Well, it's a very simple sniper mission, not too troublesome."

Kurosawa Hotaru nodded slightly and closed the textbook, already understanding what Uozuka Saburo meant.

"You were also on that street, weren't you? I didn't see you."

"Well, my last mission was to monitor the person who was the source of the chaos on the streets today, but my next mission was to silence him."

"I see. No wonder I felt that today's mission was a little strange."

Sitting up straight, Kurosawa Hotaru stretched out her straight legs unscrupulously. Although she was wearing loose trousers for easy movement, Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but take a look when the fabric wrinkled.

Well, although they are not as good as the legs of Chisuga Hagiwara, our big sister’s legs are also very good.

Moreover, the eldest sister is still young and has room for development in the future. She may not be worse than Hagiwara Chisu when she grows up.

"Today's chaos happened too suddenly, and there are too many groups involved. Such unrest could not have happened suddenly by coincidence."

After casually glancing at Uozuka Saburo who had taken his eyes off her legs, Kurosawa Hotaru didn't care at all and put his hand under his chin, thinking to himself.

"Although the organization didn't say anything, I also discovered that in addition to me, there were three other assassin teams dispatched in the past few days. If their mission is the same as mine, then today's incident might have been instigated by the organization."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too." Looking at Kurosawa Hotaru in deep thought in surprise, Uozuka Saburo also felt an indescribable sense of frustration in his heart.

Although he knew that it was an indisputable fact that Kurosawa Hotaru was better than him in all aspects, Uozuka Saburo was still somewhat shocked that Kurosawa Hotaru had guessed the clues of this matter which he only found out after communicating with Vodka today.

"In that case, it's not worth it just to kill someone. Uozuka, tell me what your mission is."

"Okay." Uozuka Saburo would certainly not refuse Kurosawa Hotaru's request. After organizing his thoughts, he explained his task in the simplest and most direct words.

"That's right. It seems that person is not important. He is just used as a bait by the organization."

Her eyes lit up slightly, and after hearing Uozuka Saburo finish explaining his task process, Kurosawa Hotaru already had some answers in his mind.

"Well, Master also said that this time, Black Eagle Shou is just a more suitable candidate. The organization has placed some intelligence conditions that will attract the attention of others. He wants to take a good look at how many groups in Japan are 'interested' in our organization."

Nodding, seeing that Kurosawa Hotaru had guessed this, Uozuka Saburo did not hide anything and told Kurosawa Hotaru what Vodka had said to him this afternoon.

"Master said that the organization seems to be preparing to expand its influence in Japan, and this operation is in preparation for this."

"That makes sense. Although I don't know why the organization values ​​Japan so much, it is true that Japan will occupy a large part of the important operation areas in the future."

Pursing her thin lips, Kurosawa Hotaru agreed with Vodka's judgment.

"There are Japanese public security and police, as well as foreign intelligence organizations, and there is more than one. It seems that the organization's choice to hide and develop quietly is the right one. Now there are many eyes watching this side." Looking at Uozuka Saburo who was still looking at him foolishly, Kurosawa Hotaru couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Wait a little longer. We will probably change to a hidden place soon."

"Big sister, are you saying that something is going to happen at the Pisk Building?"

"Yeah, but it has nothing to do with us, and I'm looking forward to the organization rolling out the scene as soon as possible."

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and a rare hint of anticipation appeared in Kurosawa Hotaru's eyes.

"Hehe, big sister, you have to work harder. I heard from the master that your mission score in the organization is not as high as mine~"

His eyes flickered, and Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but tease Kurosawa Hotaru as he looked at her expectant look.

"Oh, then Uozuka you are really amazing."

"...Well, it's okay." Cold sweat broke out instantly. Looking at Kurosawa Hotaru who was sitting on his bed as if she was the owner of the room, Uozuka Saburo pursed his lips awkwardly.

Why can't he control his mouth? Can the big sister be teased at will?

"Let's go to the No. 2 training ground tomorrow afternoon. The missions ahead will become more and more dangerous, so we can't fall behind in our training, don't you agree, Uozuka?"

"Yes, Big Sister (；′⌒`)"

"Not happy?"

"No, big sister!"

. . .

"Speaking of which, I am a little confused. Why is it that you, the big sister, are more important in the organization, but I am the one who can come out freely now?"

Walking on the already familiar street, Saburo Uozuka, wearing thick sunglasses, was talking on the phone with a somewhat subtle tone.

"Is there something you want to say, Uozuka?"

A cold voice came from the phone, making Uozuka Saburo grin helplessly.

"No, big sister, please wait for me for a moment. I will be back soon. Remember what I said, you are not allowed to go to the training ground today."

"Didn't you pull me back?" The cold voice relaxed for a moment, but soon became hard again.

No matter what Kurosawa Hotaru thought in her heart, she could not accept the fact that she was forcibly dragged back to the room from the training ground by Uozuka Saburo in the morning and made to rest on the bed.

"Yes, yes, so just listen to me. I know the big sister is the most reasonable."

The tone was inevitably a little gentle, like coaxing a child. Uozuka Saburo reacted and cleared his throat, not wanting to accidentally irritate Kurosawa Hotaru who was in a bad state today.

"Okay, big sister, you take a rest. I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

"I know, long-winded."

Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Uozuka Saburo shook his head helplessly, but felt a little proud in his heart.

Although it is a bit unreasonable to be happy when Kurosawa Hotaru is in pain, it has been a long time since Uozuka Saburo has seen such a weak big sister~

"Let me see, it's over there in the supermarket. Buy something quickly and then go back. If it weren't for the familiarity, I really wouldn't want to come here. I always feel like there will be some unexpected things every time I come here..."

"Big Brother Kurosawa!"

"...ノ)`-' )"

145: I don’t even have a face!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Kurosawa!"

In a family restaurant, Saburo Uozuka looked with a twitching mouth at the Maori couple who stood up and bowed respectfully to him without paying attention to the gazes of the people around them.

"Okay, okay, sit down quickly."

He waved his hands quickly. It was the first time since he came to this world that someone thanked him so solemnly. To be honest, he was still a little uncomfortable with it.

Look at the attitudes of Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki in front of you, their sincere eyes, serious tone, and grateful eyes, this is a proper way to express gratitude, okay!

Look at Suzuki Ayako, Hagiwara Chisu and the others. It was clearly me who saved them, but now it seems like I owe them something.

"Thank you, Kurosawa-sama, for saving me!"

Ran Maori waved her little hands happily and sat next to Saburo Uozuka with a sweet smile on her face. She looked at Saburo Uozuka with gratitude and happiness.

The little girl did not forget that when she was full of fear before, it was this Yuanzi and the big brother she knew who saved her from the robbers.

That warm and strong embrace at that time made the little girl feel at ease.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you're okay, Xiaolan."

Looking at this little girl whom he met by chance, Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but reached out and gently touched her little head.

This child is so cute. Although he is so young, he seems to be glowing and eye-catching.

Although he was recognized and stopped by Maori Ran on the way, Uozuka Saburo was not in a bad mood. After all, the family in front of him looked quite decent. To be able to raise a daughter as obedient, sensible, well-behaved and lovely as Maori Ran, the Maori couple must not be ordinary parents.

Although he didn't know what Kisaki Eri did, Uozuka Saburo still knew the identity of Kogoro Mori.

A policeman? Not to mention that Suzuki Ayako had already talked to him about it before, just look at the scene a few days ago, the guy who was able to take out a gun and chase someone openly, and now is shopping with his wife and daughter, he can't be on the side of the criminals at all.

Hmm? Yes, Kogoro Mouri is a policeman.

His eyes suddenly became a little subtle. Uozuka Saburo was somewhat glad that he had not taken off his sunglasses out of habit. Even when he was having lunch with the Maori family, he kept the sunglasses on his nose.

Although among the people I know, Chisu Hagiwara is also considered a policeman, but compared to Kogoro Mori.

Recalling the sporadic scenes he had seen before, Uozuka Saburo took a deep breath.

Leaving aside other professional qualities, the man in front of him was absolutely acceptable in terms of marksmanship, and was able to be selected as a loaned personnel to work together with the public security. If Kogoro Mouri's abilities in all aspects were not recognized by the higher-ups, he would not have had the opportunity to appear in that chaos.

Thinking of this, Saburo Uozuka picked up the after-meal coffee and drank a cup. He already had a plan in mind.

In any case, it is better to stay out of this kind of thing.

However, although Uozuka Saburo had a good idea, Mori Kogoro seemed to have anticipated it and broke Uozuka Saburo's plan first.

"Eri, take Xiaolan to play over there first. I'll be there soon." Looking at his wife seriously, Kogoro Mouri said with a smile that did not allow anyone to be rejected.

"Well, I'll take Xiaolan over first." With a flicker in her eyes, Kisaki Eri stood up with a smile, and gently pulled up Xiaolan, who was still nibbling the last dessert beside Uozuka Saburo, and then nodded gently at Uozuka Saburo.

"Mr. Kurosawa, if you have time, please come to our house. I will cook for you myself and thank you for your kindness."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Mori." Uozuka Saburo chuckled and nodded. Without moving, his eyes met with the figures of Mori Kogoro and the mother and daughter as they gradually left.

"Would you like a smoke, Mr. Kurosawa?"

"Then I won't be polite."

Each of them had a cigarette, and when the smoke lingered between the only two men left in the seat, the originally relaxed atmosphere gradually turned serious.

"Mr. Kurosawa, I have a straightforward personality, so let's just lay it out."

Taking a deep puff of smoke, Kogoro Mori restrained the relaxed, smiling expression he had had since entering the family restaurant, and stared seriously at Saburo Uozuka, who was sitting casually opposite him with a cigarette in between.

"Mr. Kurosawa should not be a member of our task force. Why did he appear on that street that day?"

"It's just a coincidence."

The eyes behind the sunglasses kept flashing. Uozuka Saburo thought about it and didn't think there was any need for him to lie in front of Mouri Kogoro to conceal his identity.

Unlike Hagiwara Chisawa, Uozuka Saburo did not think that he and Mori Kogoro would continue to have any interactions, and he had only saved Mori Ran because of their acquaintance.

Rather, leaving an impression on Kogoro Mori's mind would be something that would annoy Uozuka Saburo.

"What a coincidence? That's really an indifferent answer."

Staring at Uozuka Saburo and realizing that he had no intention of looking back at him, Maori Kogoro shook his head with a wry smile and drank up the coffee in the cup as if he was drinking wine.

"It's my bad attitude. I got a little anxious. Sorry, Mr. Kurosawa."

"What happened that day was too bizarre and dangerous. I'm just an ordinary police officer and I'm not qualified to know more, but I'm not an idiot."

Puffing on his cigarette, Kogoro Mori muttered to himself in a hoarse voice.

"The target we need to monitor and protect was killed so easily, and the higher-ups didn't make any moves or statements. Even though there was no shortage of manpower, they had to second police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department who had never worked with us to carry out the mission together. And after the riot, even though so many police officers and public security officers died and were injured, it seemed as if the higher-ups had made an agreement to suppress the matter quietly."

"This is the first time I've encountered a mission like this since I joined the Metropolitan Police Department."

"呲~"

The flint of the lighter turned, and Kogoro Mouri lit another cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"In fact, if you think about this kind of thing, you can understand what's going on. And it's not something a small police officer like me should worry about."

"I don't deserve to know what those big guys above are planning, and I'm too lazy to know."

"But!" His fist slammed heavily on the table. At this moment, Kogoro Mouri was like an angry bull, with his shoulders hunched and his eyes red.

"If there is no traitor in our action team, the places we are stationed in would not be attacked at the same time. I know this fact!"

"..."

"Mr. Kurosawa, I know that your identity is definitely not ordinary. Trying to find out your identity like me is already an overstepping of the mark, but I still want to ask you a question!"

Staring at Uozuka Saburo, Kogoro Mori didn't even notice that the corner of his mouth was bitten.

"What on earth happened that day?"
