Chapter 550 The Origin of the Hatred with Bourbon

Although Toru Amuro does not believe in spirits, he is worried that something might happen here.

Moreover, to be honest, as a senior intelligence officer who wanted to get his hands on any information, he was somewhat curious about this so-called séance ceremony.

Therefore, facing Hirasaka Reiki's invitation, Amuro Toru did not hesitate for too long and decided to go and see the mysterious "Spiritual Ceremony": "Okay."

Of course Jiang Xia would not have any objection.

He followed slowly with a slightly skeptical look on his face.

…

A group of nine people walked through the dark corridor, stepped on the luxurious long-haired carpet covering the corridor, and came to the meditation room.

The meditation room has a double door, which is made of solid wood and inlaid with opaque colored glass on the upper part. A huge padlock is hung on the door.

Hirasaka Reiki found the key from his body, opened the door, and walked into the octagonal room with a gloomy and cool atmosphere.

This room, apart from the door, has only one window which is more than four meters above the ground.

The vague moonlight shone in obliquely from the window, as if covering the room with a layer of psychedelic gauze.

Hirasaka Reiki did not turn on the lights, but walked along the wall and lit several candlesticks.

In the dim and flickering candlelight, magic circles of different colors were painted on the floor of the room.

In the middle was a round table, on which was also a magic circle drawn - the patterns were much more complicated than those on the floor, and were mixed with some obscure alien characters.

There was a circle of chairs next to the round table. Between the wall and the table stood several huge high-definition posters with different looks of Miss Kira.

Vodka swept his eyes across the posters, looking at the beautiful idols, his eyes lit up slightly, and he felt that the pressure brought by Uzo was relieved a lot.

While he was admiring the poster, a group of people sat down at the table one after another.

Hirasaka Reiki looked at the people in the room and said in a serious tone:

"When the ceremony begins, remember to cross your hands in front of you and hold the hand of the person next to you. Do not let go until the séance is over. Otherwise, when the ceremony is over, you will find that you are holding a hand that 'should not be there.'"

Following these words, the female college student who had a low sense of presence at the table seemed to be thinking of something. Her face turned pale, her fingers tightly grasped her skirt, and she was trembling slightly.

Vodka also came back to his senses from admiring the posters and found a seat to sit down.

After sitting down, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He turned his head warily and saw Uzo sitting just to his left.

At this time, the young organization member was looking at him with a little surprise, as if he did not expect that Vodka would take the initiative to choose one of the two empty stools on the right and sit down closer to him.

The surprise in Jiang Xia's eyes lasted only for a brief moment, as fast as an illusion.

A few tenths of a second later, Vodka discovered that after looking at him, Uzo lowered his head evasively and moved a little away from him not too obviously, as if he was not used to being with unfamiliar organizational cadres and felt pressured by Vodka's initiative to approach him.

Vodka: “…”

...That was the expression he should have! Who would want to sit next to Uzo? He just forgot to check his position when he sat down.

However, Vodka gradually thought: Speaking of which, being looked at by Uzo with awe like this actually gave him a strange feeling of happiness that he had turned the tables and become the boss...

Come to think of it, actually a few months ago, when Wu Zuo was just "Jiang Xia" and had not yet revealed his terrible nature beneath his innocent appearance, he really looked like just an easy-to-get-alongside peripheral member.

...Shh, I kind of miss those days. It would be nice if such obedient and useful subordinates really existed. He actually wanted one too. Brother Gin was busy at work, so he was always busy too, and was in urgent need of reliable colleagues.

But soon, Vodka realized that if he had really classified this peripheral member under his command a few months ago, without seeing through Uzo's true nature, and had approached him without any precautions, and from time to time acted like a cadre, established his authority, and bullied the newcomer...

Vodka substituted his past self.

Then he broke out in a cold sweat.

...A few months ago, I was still too young - before Brother Gin exposed Jiang Xia's true identity, he didn't think that those murders were related to Jiang Xia's planning at all. He just thought that they were ordinary murders that happened occasionally.

Fortunately, he is lucky and has the reliable brother Gin to help him guide the way and avoid risks.

It is definitely not too late to remain vigilant against Uzo now...

…

Vodka quickly suppressed the dangerous thought that had just occurred to him.

He began to wonder, if he suddenly stood up and chose the empty seat next to him, away from Uzo, would Uzo interpret it as deliberately exposing his vest, thus leading to unreasonable revenge.

Fortunately, at this moment, someone suddenly approached.

Then, Vodka heard a slightly threatening whisper:

"You took this seat first. Are you targeting my subordinates?"

Vodka was startled, then he raised his head and saw Bourbon's politely smiling face.

In this dark room lit only by candlelight, that smile seemed inexplicably spooky and full of the dark temperament of "Bourbon".

However, at this moment, in Vodka's eyes, Bourbon and his words were all extremely considerate.

...Found a legitimate reason to change seats!

Vodka was happy in his heart, but snorted coldly. Then he stood up with a bit of dignity as a cadre should have, moved one step to the right, left Jiangxia, and sat down next to the photographer named Ryuichi Mifune.

In an instant, the air in the room seemed to become light.

At the same time, Vodka thought to himself, it was just as his elder brother said - Bourbon seemed to be quite concerned about Jiang Xia, a good seedling who quickly became a famous detective. He didn't want Jiang Xia to have too much contact with other organizational cadres and become a public tool, but wanted to collect him as a unique intelligence point. And so far, Bourbon has not discovered that Jiang Xia is actually a code member who has been promoted...

Come to think of it, even though "Uzo" was mistaken for "Jiangxia", Bourbon has not died unexpectedly until today...

Is it because although he has the title of "Jiang Xia's boss", he actually doesn't have much contact with Wu Zuo because he is busy?

Or was it because Bourbon didn’t want Uzo to come into contact with other capable cadres, so he accidentally cut down on Uzo’s available props?

After all, with Bourbon's skills, it would be difficult for ordinary murderers to easily achieve the result of "letting Bourbon die in a homicide" - maybe the criminal was pinned down by Bourbon just when he wanted to do something, and then packed up and sunk into Tokyo Bay. Well, it might be the cement that Uzo helped pour.

——The carefully written artistic script was forcibly rewritten by Bourbon using his force, and he himself was forced to become a tool for the rewriting...

The image of Uzo pouring cement with tears in his eyes came to Vodka's mind, and he suddenly understood - this kind of thing doesn't need to happen too often, just one or two times will explain why Uzo made Bourbon his number one target and was so obsessed with killing him.

...The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. I wrote it down and went back to tell my brother about this important discovery.
