Chapter 2016 2024 [Uzo VS Rum] Ask for monthly ticket ()

No matter what, you still have to reply to your boss's message.

At this time, a performance is going on in the water tank below, and the audience seats are completely dark, so the mobile phone screen will be very conspicuous.

Curacao glanced at Jiang Xia next to her and knew that she couldn't let this guy see the content of the call, so she pretended to stand up, quickly left the audience and went to the small door below, intending to leave from there.

The small door is right next to the fish tank, a place where it is dark even under the light.

Curacao reached out to pull the door, but before he touched the door handle, the small door opened with a bang - a man in black clothes, a black hat, and a dark complexion with a protective color just wanted to slip in through the small door.

After opening the door, he suddenly found someone here. The person was startled and looked over.

Curacao was shocked.

Almost at the same time, the man in black opposite her looked at her face and blurted out: "It's you!?"

Curacao was only good at disguise, but she didn't have the ability to change her appearance like Vermouth. In the bright light, she looked very different from before, but now the dim light highlighted her outline.

After taking a closer look, Toru Amuro finally understood why he had always felt that this woman looked familiar.

Curacao had already noticed someone following him, but he didn't expect it to be Bourbon: "You..."

Before she finished speaking, Bourbon sneered and lowered his voice: "You actually got involved with Uzo. For the sake of our relationship as colleagues, I remind you that it will not end well if you try to get the skin of a tiger."

Curacao looked at the boss of the Amuro Detective Agency, and then thought of Uzo's nominal place of employment, and said with emotion: "Huh."

Curacao felt a little complicated when he suddenly encountered Bourbon.

The good news is that judging from past situations, Uzo obviously prefers to target the "detective boss" in front of him rather than her.

But the bad news is that one has to admit that Bourbon still has some abilities, and if one wants to successfully target this little black-faced guy, one needs to have powerful enough weapons—such as herself.

In addition, the fire at the city gate affected innocent people, Bourbon was unlucky, and the surrounding environment might also become dangerous...

Thinking of this, Curacao's heart suddenly skipped a beat: Oh no, I have to stay away from this guy as soon as possible.

She didn't want to pay any attention to Bourbon and just wanted to walk out the door.

However, at this moment, the music in the entire performance hall suddenly changed and became passionate.

——There were two mermaid performances. After the warm-up, it was Michiko Osawa's turn to shine.

The gorgeous lights created the appearance of a starry sky, and two beams of light hit the large shell at the bottom of the fish tank, which was extremely dazzling.

The two cadres who were confronting each other also instinctively looked over there.

The next moment, the huge shell opened, and what emerged along with the foam was not a glamorous mermaid, but a corpse with eyes wide open, drowning in the water, slowly floating up with the current.

“…”

"ah--!!"

Click, click, click.

Screams and shutter sounds rang out at the same time, accompanied by the undulating flash of lights - although the scene was very scary, it also had a strange sense of terrifying beauty. According to the nature of many people who want to take out their phones to take pictures when they encounter something unusual, the flash of lights at this time was no less than that of a press conference.

The two intelligence agents who happened to be standing next to the water tank, who were supposed to be hiding in the dark and not leaving any image in the world: "..."

Uzo——!!

…

In the chaos, Jiang Xia sat in the audience and looked towards the place where Toru Amuro and Curacao met.

The light at the small door next to the fish tank was very dim, and the audience could not see clearly with the naked eye, but this was not an obstacle for Jiang Xia.

Therefore, he saw the sudden encounter of the two people, their shock after discovering the corpse, and their sudden murderous intent and their actions of opening the door and rushing into the corridor as if teleporting, avoiding the flash lights.

"They actually predicted that someone would take a photo of the fish tank. It seems that these two colleagues have a lot of experience in both case handling and hiding from the camera."

Jiang Xia muttered to himself while glancing at Hashimoto Maya who was beside him with a look of shock on her face, and shook his head secretly: This little brother is not quite up to the mark, if it were him, he might have been photographed too, he still needs to work on his sensitivity to the case.

While he was distracted, Jiang Xia did not forget to stand up like a detective and rushed to the backstage.

Then he said to the person in charge who rushed out after hearing the noise: "The actor is drowning, drain the water to save him!"

…

The exhibition hall was soundproofed, but it couldn't block out the terrified screams of hundreds of people.

After rushing into the corridor through the small door, many people outside were attracted by the noise here and ran over one after another.

Curacao and Amuro Toru had no time to care about each other. They each went their own way, quickly reducing their presence and blending into the crowd.

Toru Amuro adjusted his hat and walked a few steps into the employee passage. He blended into a group of busy colleagues and finally had time to think.

How did Curacao get mixed up with Uzo's new men?

No matter how you think about it, this just smells like a conspiracy.

However, as a subordinate of Rum, Amuro Toru knew a little about Curacao: this woman would only follow the instructions of her superiors and would not act on her own like Vermouth. So today she came to Jiang Xia, probably at Rum's request.

"Rum, Uzo, Curacao, Jiangxia..." Several people were thinking about this and suddenly an idea flashed in Amuro's mind, "Wait, although Curacao and Uzo's new subordinates appeared at the same time, they may not be in the same camp - maybe Rum asked Curacao to contact Jiangxia, and Uzo also gave the same order to his new subordinates, so they sat together."

"That old fellow Rum is really a perpetrator. If I remember correctly, he was just blown up by Uzo. His hand wound hasn't healed yet, so why is he so anxious to attack again?"

Amuro Toru frowned, "But this is not bad. Both of them are suspected to be related, and they both have the character of not to be disobeyed. If the two of them confront each other first, maybe their focus will gradually shift away from Jiang Xia, and eventually start infighting. This way, Jiang Xia will be safe."

Toru Amuro imagined a dog-eat-dog scene and slowly revealed a happy smile.

…

The other side.

Curacao walked a few steps and turned into the bathroom, hid in the cubicle, and sighed.

——In any case, I must check Rum's message as soon as possible. That boss is impatient and can urge me to do a task eight hundred times when he is anxious. I have to reply as soon as possible.

While locking the compartment door, she cursed in her heart: "Bourbon is such a disaster, especially when Uzo is around. Next time I meet him, I will leave him behind immediately to avoid being dragged into Uzo's little dramas for no reason."
