Jiang Xia...
Chapter 1931 1939 [Rum's Disguise] Ask for monthly tickets ()
Rum was quite free as he had finished all the tasks on hand recently. He happened to see the promotional event in Jiangxia, so he planned to join in the fun and participate in the food festival.
When Curacao heard the reason, her eyes jumped: she worked so hard and stayed up late at work, and was harassed by Uzo from all angles during her break. Was all her energy and sweat paid just to make her boss happy to participate in various activities?
The murderous fragrance of aloe vera surged out for a moment, then quickly subsided.
Curacao: "..." Calm down, this mentality is wrong, don't be influenced by that bastard, stick to yourself.
But speaking of it, why does the time period of this food festival look so familiar?
After all, Curacao was also a top intelligence officer in the organization. Once he became suspicious, he began to quickly integrate the information in his mind.
Soon, Curacao remembered the strange request in the email that Uzo had sent her not long ago.
Think again about the location of the police station where Maya Hashimoto went to take her statement... If I remember correctly, it was less than 1 kilometer away from the square where the food event was held.
A series of information flashed by, and Curacao looked at Rum, who knew nothing about it and was just about to go to the square, and his heart skipped a beat.
Curacao: “…” Could this be another conspiracy of Uzo?
He actually wanted to attack the second-in-command of the organization? How did that guy get access to the information about Rum?
Curacao was filled with shock, but he forced himself to calm down: It's not a big problem, maybe it's just a coincidence - Rum's information has always been top secret, and Uzo has been concentrating on dealing with Hashimoto Maya recently, so he shouldn't suddenly jump to Rum.
"Could it be that Uzo guessed from the fact that Hashimoto Maya had been stranded that someone was interfering, and guessed that person was coming for him, so he deliberately participated in this food festival with great fanfare, hoping to use it as a hook to try to lure Rum out of the shadows?"
"In that case..." Curacao glanced at Rum who was in a good mood and thought to himself, "I'd better not remind him."
...It wasn't that she had any intention of betraying him, nor was it that she would leave her boss to die. It was just that Wuzo's plan to lure someone had nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end. She just blindly guessed about Rum's character and happened to guess it right.
Curacao thought quickly in his mind: "If Rum really gets into trouble at the food festival, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if I warned him in advance? If they trace it back later, they will immediately find it on me.
“Although I have a clear conscience and have never done anything treacherous, I was forced to have a lot of contact with Uzo. When the time comes, I will be able to find excuses to accuse you. Any small matter that was not a problem originally will become a big deal.
"On the contrary, I won't say anything. If Rum's visit this time really leads to any bad consequences, it will be the boss who took the initiative to get close to Uzo after seeing the report. "
The balance in my heart had already quickly tilted in my favor without much of a sway.
——There was absolutely no need for her to stir up this mess.
…
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, but did not appear on his face at all.
In addition, Curacao was wearing a pair of sunglasses and his face was slightly disguised, so even Rum could not see the confusion of his subordinate.
Curacao just chatted with me for a few minutes and then asked politely, "Do you need my help?"
Rum didn't even think twice: "Are you free? You even have time to help me - go and do your own thing."
Curacao: “…”
For the first time, she felt that the reprimand from this impatient boss sounded so pleasant.
She responded in a low voice, sighed as if she regretted not being able to share the burden for her boss, then rolled up the window, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Rum fanned the exhaust fumes and uttered an unpleasant sound: "This guy still likes to drive fast. She'd better not get caught by the traffic police. Otherwise, if she ends up in the police station because of something like this, it would be too embarrassing for me."
…
After sending away the subordinate who was passing by in a hurry, Rum continued to roll up his sleeves, humming a song while cleaning his dining cart.
He is a person who pays attention to details, and the identity of "sushi chef" is a disguise that he has been operating for many years and is very impressive.
Approaching those difficult goals in this capacity is one of the pleasures of Rum's work. He likes this method very much and it works every time - a man is made of iron and a man is made of steel. A man may not have a variety of entertainment activities, but he will definitely eat.
Many people would take a chef, an NPC-like profession, lightly, so Rum could pretend to be enthusiastic and talkative and quickly establish a connection with them.
The reason why he rejected Curacao just now was because the identity of "sushi boss" was totally incompatible with Curacao - in daily life, he did not need this secretary to help him.
Moreover, Curacao has been in contact with Wuzo frequently recently. Thinking of Wuzo's past achievements, Rum really has no plans to take her to the vicinity of Jiangxia.
"It's not that I'm worried about being ambushed by Curacao, but if Uzo uses this to guess my identity, it will definitely lose a lot of fun."
Rum thought secretly: "Although Curacao is very capable, her appearance is too distinctive. Even if she disguises herself every time, when she frequently appears near Uzo, she will definitely be recognized and noticed. If I take her there, she will definitely be the only flaw in my perfect disguise.
"Speaking of looks, Bourbon is the same. Others can solve the problem by wearing a pair of sunglasses and changing their hairstyle, but he has to paint his whole body white and dye his hair. Tsk, I have to find some ordinary faces to fill the vacancies. It's a pity that those ordinary faces are always not very capable, and it's really hard to find someone who can satisfy me.
"Compared to that, Uzo is the most useful. Although he is not a popular figure, as a detective, he would not look out of place wherever he appears. In addition, his extremely covert methods..."
The more Rum thought about it, the more itchy he became. He wished that Uzo would be under his command the next moment, waiting to be deployed.
"It's a pity that young people always have their own personalities and persistence. Delicious fruits must be picked with patience."
Rum barely suppressed his impatience and decided to proceed step by step according to the plan.
He turned around and started cleaning the dining cart.
…
In the afternoon, the food festival began.
Chef Rum finally packed up his sushi cart, loaded it with fresh ingredients, and drove slowly to the square.
I met many colleagues from restaurants along the way.
Rum glanced at those people and raised his eyebrows: In his impression, this kind of activity that requires a food truck is often driven by restaurant chefs, and restaurant chefs are often middle-aged men.
But this time...
