Chapter 34 Questioning

Being a leader is really a job that requires the most rest. Even though Morigu is still suffering from the gastritis debuff, he still has to deal with the organization's work.

Not long after Omi's aftermath was resolved, the previous leader was resurrected, and there were a lot of follow-up issues that needed to be dealt with urgently. In addition, there was the recent influx of drugs into the organization. Mori Ougai was so busy that he was about to become a superman.

The time Ace has to control his body is limited, so he has to spend more time working late into the night to deal with urgent matters first.

When the port hospital called to say that Lan Tang had woken up but was still having difficulty speaking, he paused for a moment, arranged for armed members from the hospital to look after Lan Tang, and also arranged for several guerrillas directly under the leader to go there to assist in the guarding, and then let him go for the time being.

Although Lan Tang is a seriously injured patient, he is a Transcendent after all, so it is never too late to be vigilant.

But to Morio, Lan Tang was just a betrayer, at most a valuable betrayer. He could give Ace a chance, but if Ace couldn't bring Lan Tang, or Rambo, to the camp of their Port Mafia, he would have to execute this transcendent.

It would be better for Moriou to die if he could not become a person who surpassed his own people. Otherwise, if he became an enemy and attacked the Port Mafia one day, it would be a real trouble.

Yes, he planned to let Ace talk to Lan Tang.

Ace had said before that if he had any questions, he would ask Lan Tang in person, so Sen Ouwai would not waste time going there himself. He only needed to remind Ace when necessary and provide a safety net.

The impact of drugs is very troublesome to deal with. Although the port mafia discovered it in time and did not spread, the investigation took a lot of manpower and time. Forcing people who are already addicted to drugs to quit is a process that takes time.

But we can't just ignore them. People who are addicted to drugs can easily be controlled by their addiction and become the knife that stabs the port mafia. The interpersonal relationships they originally established in the organization will make the people around them less vigilant and alert to them, and some intelligence, not small or not, may leak out. If these people stab you in the back, it will be even harder to guard against.

The port mafia that takes this opportunity to completely ban drugs and does not use drugs to control their subordinates will be at a disadvantage in this regard.

The interrogation efficiency of Ozaki Koyo was very high. After the drug-related members were caught and put in the interrogation room, they came to Mori Ougai's office with the interrogation results not long after.

She has now roughly grasped the pattern. Anyway, if there is something that requires thinking, she will look for the leader's original personality. If there is something that requires hands, she will look for the new personality that appears the next day.

"Sir, we have found the source of the drugs. One of them is a subordinate of the colonel, of low rank, who is in charge of loading and unloading at the dock. The other is a former subordinate of Miyamura, who was the manager of a casino under his name at the time. The previous incident between Miyamura and Omi did not affect him much, and he is still the manager of that casino. He and his deputy are now involved in drugs, and I have already found someone to replace them."

"Well done, Momiji-kun. Did you find out who gave them the goods?"

"I have found out their names. I have asked the new recruits from the Intelligence Department to track down the two people they came into contact with."

Sen Ou Wai paused when he heard this, and looked thoughtful: "Is there something wrong with this newcomer?"

The port mafia has recruited quite a few people recently, and those who were singled out by Ozaki Momiji may have some good stuff.

"We can't jump to such a conclusion so quickly." Ozaki Kouye said, "The newcomer Sakaguchi Ango was previously an intelligence dealer. His special ability, "Degeneration Theory", allows him to obtain the memory of the past week from an object by touching it. This ability is very suitable for the Intelligence Department. The Intelligence Department is currently reviewing his past intelligence. If there is no problem, he can be reused in the future."

Due to the series of events, the Port Mafia has been short of manpower during this period.

High-end combat power is scarce; the middle-level ones, how should I put it, are relatively comprehensive, but some have very strong auxiliary abilities, and their value lies in their abilities, while their combat power is very average; the low-level members are constantly consumed, and it always feels like the number is not enough, and there is always a shortage.

Because of this, the Port Mafia has been recruiting people non-stop, and the number of recruits during this period is much larger than usual.

People with special abilities are precious resources. As a special ability organization, the Port Mafia has a special space for filling in special abilities on its application form. After the initial review, the resumes and preliminary review reports of those who have filled in the special ability column will be handed over to Ozaki Kouyo's secretary for a second review. The list of those who have passed the second review will be handed over to Ozaki Kouyo, who will personally summon them to fill in the specific effects of their special abilities.

For those who failed the two reviews but reported having superpowers, a separate list will be created. Those on this list will be asked to report the effects of their superpowers directly to the secretary for information collection. As for whether they will be hired later, that is another matter.

Ozaki Kouyo continued, "His ability is quite special. I am worried that he might be an undercover agent sent by someone else. What about the information about the port mafia..."

Since Ozaki Kouyo has already assigned him a task, it means that he has passed the previous reviews and has been recruited.

"In my opinion, there is no need to worry so much. Since he has passed the review, there is no big problem. Even if he is really an undercover sent by another company, he has his own use."

Mori Ogai is not very worried about this problem. In today's Yokohama, the Port Mafia is not the only dominant organization, but it is indeed the most powerful underground organization in Yokohama.

The Takase Society was not as good as the Port Mafia, and they were bitten by Miyamura before, so now they can only lie low. It is impossible for them to deceive the official organization, fabricate a person's past background, and fabricate the traces left by the person's experience, and then insert the person into the Port Mafia.

Rather than believing this, it is better to believe that the character's past background was fabricated by the authorities, or that a competitor who has connections with officials asked someone to fabricate the character's experience and then put the person in place.

As for the GSS, which had been wiped out several times by Lantang and his men because of the Omi incident before the previous leader's resurrection, it was even more impossible. Moreover, after the previous leader's incident ended, he asked Nakahara Chuuya to plow the GSS again in the name of revenge. Now the GSS is no longer a threat at all.

Although Chuuya Nakahara had requested the Port Mafia to let go of the people from the Sheep Organization before that, Mori Owl didn't have any extra emotions.

Zhongyuan Zhongye pleaded for the sheep's people, which shows that he is loyal and righteous, which is a good thing. As for whether he will do something unfavorable to the port mafia for the sheep... the cracks have already appeared, and Zhongyuan Zhongye, who is loyal and righteous, will not betray the port mafia for the sheep. Moreover, as long as the sheep is firmly controlled in his hands, there is nothing to worry about.

From this point of view, if this Sakaguchi Ango is really an undercover agent, then he is either sent by the government or by a competitor. If he is sent by a competitor, then he is used to transmit false information, destroy the opponent and then annex him; if he is sent by the government...

Then stay and be an official irregular reporter, reporting to the authorities what the Port Mafia wants them to know, and expressing that the Port Mafia is harmless to a certain extent.

It is always better to have someone you know well than to send someone else later who you don't know well.

"We'll conduct a secret investigation afterwards. It's just right to give him this mission, and then assign someone to work with him. Pay special attention to his way of doing things, behavioral habits, and so on. As for the selection of personnel, you can make the decision. I still trust you on this point."

Ozaki Kouyo chuckled, "I understand, Your Excellency Ougai."

…

After receiving the news from the hospital that Lan Tang had taken off the ventilator and could speak normally, Ace went to the Port Hospital.

Lan Tang's ward was under strict surveillance by the hospital's nurses and the leader's guerrillas, and even the curtains were drawn tightly.

Ace stood outside the ward, hesitated for a few seconds, and then pushed the door and walked in.

In the ward, Lan Tang still had a needle stuck in the back of his hand for an IV, but he was awake. Seeing someone coming in, Lan Tang tilted his head slightly and nodded. Seeing Ace coming in, he opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to call him, but he hesitated for a while and then closed his mouth again.

Ace closed the door of the ward, walked silently to Lan Tang's bedside, looked down at him with a frown.

The two were silent for a while, and then Lan Tang spoke, his voice weak and hoarse: "Chief, are you here to execute me?"

Estra clenched his hands into fists at his sides, clenching them tightly. The words that came to his mouth were bitter: "Lantang, I came here to ask you, why."

Lan Tang was silent for a moment, and then said in a calm and emotionless tone: "Chief, perhaps you have already found out... No, Dazai-kun must have told you what he found out, cough, cough cough!"

Lantang had broken several ribs in the previous fight with Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya, one of which pierced his lung when he fell to the ground. He had just recovered a little, so it was not suitable for him to say such a long sentence. He was out of breath. But at this moment, I don’t know if he was sure that he would be executed or what, even if his lungs started to hurt again, he still ignored it.

"I'm Arthur Rimbaud, a spy from Europe. My goal is to bring back to France the [Test Model A-258], or the experimental subject "Arabato", from the military laboratory seven years ago. Ah... I should call him 'Nakahara Chuuya' now. Actually, my memory has almost recovered during the time when the organization and the Takase-kai clashed. The so-called resurrection of the previous leader is just my continuation of the execution..."

"That's enough!" Ace angrily interrupted Lan Tang's increasingly stammering words because he was running out of breath, "That's not what I wanted to ask you!"

He stared at Lan Tang with such scorching eyes that Lan Tang avoided his sight as if he felt burned.

The man staring at him spoke slowly and fiercely, "What I want to ask is, Lan Tang, what do you think about your companions who died in the resurrection of the previous leader because of your plan?!"
