Arriving in Beika Town, Tokyo, where cases frequently occur, you can encounter a murder case just by walking a few steps.
Transform into light in the darkness, piercing through layers of fog....
Ding-a-ling!
Ding-a-ling!
When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window in the early morning, the cell phone on the bedside table rang.
An arm passed over Miss Miyano, fumbled for a while, and finally grabbed the phone.
"Hello? Who the hell is this?"
With his eyes closed, Sakaki Makoto turned over and mumbled, cursing:
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Six o'clock in the morning."
A familiar and cold voice came from the phone.
"6 o'clock, what the hell, what are you fighting for at 6 o'clock....Boss?"
When his consciousness returned to his body, Sakaki Makoto instantly woke up and sat up:
"Boss, you're up pretty early, hahaha...what's the matter?"
"The results of the surgery are out."
Gin was not angry at all, and said in a steady tone:
"At 4:15 this morning, Shuichi Akai was pushed out of the operating room. The rescue was successful. He is currently lying in the special ward of the Beihu Central Hospital and has not yet woken up."
"He survived?"
"Um."
"I'm really lucky..."
After muttering something, Sakaki Makoto understood why Gin was looking for him.
If Shuichi Akai died, Gin would not have called. It is precisely because the situation is urgent that direct contact is necessary.
After tucking in Miss Miyano's quilt, Sakaki Makoto quietly got out of bed and came to the living room:
"Since he is not dead, should the organization take action next?"
"That's right, but the organization currently doesn't have many people it can mobilize, so the boss rejected the plan for a head-on confrontation and chose assassination instead."
Gin said:
"You are also a member of the execution plan. The gathering time is 8 o'clock. Don't be late."
"knew."
Click.
The phone was hung up.
Putting down his phone, Makoto Sakaki picked up the cigarette box and lighter on the table, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.
The time was just past 6:03. It would only take an hour and a half to get to the new research institute from Beika-cho 5-chome. Gin called at 6 o'clock and left him half an hour to prepare, which was very thoughtful.
As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. Since Makoto Sakaki chose to join the Black Organization and chose the position of a free man, he must be available at any time.
“Hmm…”
There were footsteps in the corridor, and Miss Miyano, wearing red pajamas, came into the living room rubbing her eyes, looking like she hadn't woken up yet:
"Why did you get up so early..."
"Gin called me."
Sakaki Makoto said calmly:
"Akai Shuichi is not dead. Now they are calling me to gather together. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be preparing to start the assassination."
"You already knew about this."
Miss Miyano yawned loudly:
"I'll go make you breakfast..."
“No, no, no…”
Sakaki Makoto quickly stood up and grabbed her, pushing his girlfriend back to the bedroom:
"You continue to sleep. I'm going to go get Gin's breakfast."
"....Won't Gin be angry?"
"What's the big deal? He and I have a life-long friendship!"
Patting his chest, Sakaki Makoto walked out of the door with full confidence.
At 7:45 in the morning, Makoto Sakaki arrived at the new research institute before the gathering time. The Porsche 356a was not downstairs, presumably it had been taken for repair. However, he did see Vodka's old, shabby car, the kind that made a rattling noise when driving.
After climbing up to the third floor, Makoto Sakaki knocked on the door and entered the office, just in time to see Gin and Vodka having breakfast.
Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. No matter how "uncommunicative" Gin is on a daily basis, it is impossible for him to go without food, water and toilet.
"A large loaf of bread with milk and a box of oden...it tastes good!"
Approaching the table, Makoto Sakaki took out the steaming hot oden from the bag without hesitation, cut a piece of bread under the watchful eyes of Gin and Vodka, and began to eat.
“.......”
“.......”
"Hey, are you kidding me? This is Big Brother's breakfast!"
Vodka said with his eyes wide open.
Sakaki Makoto swallowed a mouthful of bamboo roll made of fish meat, glanced at him, and said:
"So what?"
"What's wrong? You ate big brother's breakfast. What does big brother eat?"
"Eat yours."
Sakaki Makoto said disapprovingly:
"I rushed to the new institute right after receiving a call from my boss and forgot to buy breakfast. This is called an accident. My boss saw that I hadn't eaten and was willing to give me breakfast. This is called a favor. Putting it together is called human relations. Do you understand? You don't understand."
“.......”
Vodka opened his mouth and stood there in a daze, speechless.
"Now I accidentally ate the boss's breakfast. It was an accident. You can take advantage of the situation and do the boss a favor, but remember, this opportunity was created by me. You don't need to give me anything. Just keep it in mind."
“.......”
Is there such a shameless person in the world?!
Vodka was shocked. As smart as he was, he didn't know how to refute for a moment.
"I'm not hungry."
Gin, who had eaten half a loaf of bread, said:
"Just take care of the rest, don't worry about me."
Ten minutes later, it was 8 o'clock, and the sound of engines was heard downstairs, and Vermouth and others arrived one after another.
To Sakaki's surprise, Bourbon and Kiel also came.
Bourbon looked fine and uninjured, but it was different for Kiel. She fell off a motorcycle and broke three ribs. She should have rested, but in order to deal with Akai Shuichi, she still endured the pain and limped over.
After everyone arrived, the atmosphere in the office became tense and somewhat hostile.
