Rio de Janeiro, the second largest city in Brazil, is a place where heaven and devil coexist. It is known as the capital of carnivals, but also has the largest slums in South America. The temperature here is high all year round, with long summers and no winter, which is a typical tropical savanna climate.
In Japan, we had to wear cotton shirts, but when we arrived in Brazil, we changed into T-shirts and shorts.
After a few days of fun, they came to the most popular beach nearby at the enthusiastic recommendation of the hotel guide.
The sun, the sea, the beach, the men and women in bikinis, it can be described as a life of luxury.
"Hey boy, are you alone?" The man with honey-skinned skin, hugging a well-built woman, approached Jinpei Matsuda.
Matsuda Jinpei was a little confused. "No, there are three of us, my friends and I." As soon as he finished speaking, Otohagihara Kenji and Miyazaki Ren came over with their arms around each other. The two had just gone to buy food. "Hey, those two are my companions."
The man looked at the two of them, lowered his head and said something to the woman, who nodded. He smiled even more brilliantly, "Five people? Great~"
Matsuda Jinpei vaguely understood what he meant, but he couldn't believe it. This was too open. "Don't you have a girlfriend?"
"Oh, baby, don't worry, my dear also agreed to join us, it's quite fun, want to try it?"
"!!!" Matsuda Jinpei's pupils trembled, "No, I can't accept it!"
The man and woman sighed at the same time, looking very regretful, "Okay, I won't force you, baby. If you change your mind, contact me~" Before leaving, they stuffed a piece of paper into Matsuda Jinpei's trouser pocket, on which was a string of contact information written in lipstick.
"Xiao Zhenping, who was that person just now?" Hagiwara Kenji asked curiously, handing over an ice cream.
Matsuda Jinpeizo's face turned red, and he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he stammered, "He, they asked for directions."
Miyazaki Ren looked at him suspiciously. The couple looked like locals, and it seemed unreasonable for them to ask a foreigner for directions.
At this time, two women came over, with big wavy red hair and good figures, holding hands intimately, "Three gentlemen, do you have an appointment?"
Hagiwara Kenji was about to try, but was stopped by Matsuda Jinpei. Miyazaki Ren observed the two of them carefully and said, "Sorry, we Japanese prefer to be single-minded."
"Well, the Japanese are always so reserved and shy." said one of the women dejectedly.
The other woman quickly comforted him, "Don't be sad, baby, we can ask other people." Then she gave her companion a passionate kiss for a full minute, almost staging an unspeakable drama in front of the three of them.
Next, the three of them experienced thoroughly what passion was. There was an endless stream of people approaching them, both men and women, singles, couples, loyal ones, and those who wanted to have a fraternal relationship.
The enthusiastic Brazilian people brought a deep psychological shadow to the pure Matsuda Jinpei, which even Hagiwara Kenji, a "playboy" who has been hanging out with girls for many years, could not bear. Only Miyazaki Ren, who had no moral integrity, was unscathed.
Although there were some twists and turns along the way, overall it was a very enjoyable day. At sunset, with an empty stomach, I chose the busiest restaurant to go in for food.
In the middle of the restaurant is a bar where a handsome bartender is performing a fancy cocktail show.
"Hagi, does it hurt?" Matsuda Jinpei looked at the blond-haired, dark-skinned bartender who was wearing a vest and a bow tie and moving among the crowd like a butterfly. His hands trembled and he pinched his thumb.
"Xiao Zhenping, you are not dreaming, it's him." Hagiwara Kenji ignored the pain, at this moment he also felt that he was dreaming.
This time when he came to Brazil, Miyazaki Ren mainly wanted to find an opportunity to meet Rum, and it would be even better if he could "coincidentally" meet Furuya Rei, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the two targets appeared in front of him at once.
If it wasn't Rum, then who else could that guy with rosacea and mole teeth in front of Rei Furuya be?
At this time, some customers left the bar, leaving three seats vacant. Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji were quick to pull Miyazaki Ren to sit down.
At this time, Furuya Rei came to Brazil under the order of Kuroda Heiwei. He needed to disguise himself as an intelligence dealer and be recruited by the Black Organization. This international criminal organization is complex and powerful. The Miyano couple he has been tracking are also related to the organization.
Today, he finally received the recruitment from the organization, but he did not expect that the organization was so cunning that even Kenshinori Toda, an enthusiastic citizen who was reported in newspapers as a family of police and citizens, was their member.
Furutani Rei was practicing Tai Chi, and was testing each other with Rum. He was as slippery as an eel, and he casually blocked all of Rum's tests.
As the two chatted, they saw three familiar people approaching. Furuya Rei nervously held the cocktail glass tightly. Why are they here? ! No, I can't reveal my identity.
"Three guests, what would you like to drink?" Fūya Rei decided to take the initiative.
Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei raised their eyebrows. It was inconvenient to reveal their identities, so they said, "I want a glass of bourbon."
"Both guests?" Fūya Rei breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the two of them understood.
"Um."
Miyazaki Ren first glanced at the rum, then asked provocatively, "Why don't you ask me what I want to drink?"
"So what would you like to drink first?" Furuya Rei, who plays the role of a dedicated bartender, asked in a good-tempered manner.
"Any absinthe?"
"some."
"Any gin?"
"some."
"Any Pisco?"
"some"
"Then give me a glass of rum." After saying that, Miyazaki Ren glanced at rum again implicitly.
"As you wish, sir." Furuya Rei did not notice Miyazaki Ren's little action and thought that this colleague was just playing a prank to avenge him for leaving without saying goodbye.
Rum understood clearly that Brandy was showing his loyalty to him. During the time when he was away, Vermouth, Gin and Pisco had all tried to persuade him. Now he asked for a bunch of wine and finally asked for a glass of rum. This was to show his determination!
He knew about Brandy's trip to Brazil. In order to hide it from his boss, he found two cops as a cover and came to Brazil on the pretext of being invited to the annual meeting prize. The purpose was to deliver some intelligence. The original time was three days later, but he didn't expect to meet him here by chance. Rum didn't want to reveal the identity of Kensuke Suda, but fortunately Brandy really understood him and understood him with just one look.
Not only did he not reveal his identity, he even remembered to pledge his loyalty to him when ordering a glass of wine. What a good subordinate! Rum felt his eyes were a little wet. If there were more subordinates like Brandy, wouldn't it be just a matter of time before he could replace him?
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda knew that their friend was in trouble and did not want to reveal their identities, so they just ordered a glass of wine without much communication. The two of them looked around their friend's new work environment and suddenly found that the person sitting next to them looked familiar.
"You are? Mr. Kensuke Oda?" Hagiwara Kenji was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in a foreign country. Kensuke Oda helped a lot when the apartment bomb exploded. The police officers in the bomb disposal team were all impressed by him.
"Hello, policemen." Rum showed his usual honest smile, but it looked particularly obscene on his face.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect Mr. Suda to be in Brazil as well. Are you here for tourism?"
"I am here to study cooking. As a sushi chef, I want to incorporate flavors from all over the world into my sushi, so I am currently studying around the world."
"So that's how it is. Mr. Toda's craftsmanship is admirable!" said Kenji Hagiwara, giving a thumbs up.
Jinpei Matsuda was not very good at drinking, and his eyes were a little blurry, but he still praised, "As expected of someone who has been in the newspaper, Mr. Takashita is worth learning from in all aspects."
Rum waved his hands. "No, no, I'm still——"
"Bang, bang, bang." Loud gunshots rang out, and several burly men rushed in with guns. "Don't move, hold your head and squat down. We're robbing!"
"Where do you think this is?" A muscular man with honey-colored skin pulled out a machine gun from under the table and confronted the robber leader.
As he finished speaking, many people took out various weapons, and the most outrageous one even held up a handheld rocket launcher. For a moment, the robbers were at a disadvantage.
"You dare to rob with just a few broken assault rifles? Boy, you should go home and play in the mud." A hot woman holding a sniper rifle in the crowd mocked.
The robber leader's face suddenly turned very ugly. He had finally collected weapons and wanted to have a big fight, but he didn't expect this bar to be so tough. He was unwilling to leave in such a humiliating way, and the situation was deadlocked for a while.
Fortunately, he had a smart subordinate. At this time, a man in a flowered shirt sitting next to Miyazaki Ren and others suddenly stood up. It seemed that he was the insider prepared by the robbers. "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. Our boss just wanted to come over and kidnap someone." As he said that, he pushed Rum hard, and Rum fell to the ground unexpectedly.
The man in the flowered shirt walked up to the leader of the robbers and said, "Boss, I just heard that the guy with the red nose was in the newspaper. He seems to be a big shot. Why don't we just kidnap him and get some ransom money today?"
The robber leader had a step to step down, and his face became much better. He gave the man in the flowered shirt a teachable look, strode to Rum, grabbed him, and said stiffly, "Yes, it's a misunderstanding. I just want to tie him up."
Seeing that the robber leader was interested and the person being held captive was a foreigner, the man with the honey-colored skin who had come forward first waved his hands and his men put away their weapons. The robber leader also breathed a sigh of relief and signaled his companions to put down their guns. The bar was filled with laughter and joy again. No one was injured except Rum.
As for the life and death of this member of the black organization, Furuya Rei doesn't care, dog bites dog is the best. But Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei can't just sit there and do nothing. As police officers, they can't just watch their citizens being kidnapped and remain indifferent. They are about to do something, but they didn't expect that someone is faster than them.
"Wait, you can't take him with you." Miyazaki Ren stopped the robber leader, "If you want a hostage, I'll be your hostage. He's just an ordinary sushi chef, not a big shot."
Rei Furuya had mixed feelings, both relieved and upset. As expected, although Miyazaki was sometimes unreliable, he was always the most qualified as a policeman and couldn't bear to see his countrymen suffer. Unfortunately, this man was a cancer, and Miyazaki was wrong after all.
Rum was also very pleased. Brandy was still reliable. He always regarded himself as the most important and was willing to risk his life for him. It was difficult to find such a good subordinate as Brandy.
The robber leader was incredulous. "Sushi chef?" He glanced at the flowered shirt. "Didn't they say it was in the newspaper?"
Miyazaki Ren found the headlines of the day on her phone and showed them to the robber leader. "Yes, he was only on the newspaper because he was eager to help others. He is a sushi chef by profession, not a celebrity."
As a native Brazilian, the robber leader was not very familiar with the appearance of Asians. He grabbed Rum's hair and wanted to pull the other's head over for a careful comparison.
Unexpectedly, he pulled off a wig with force, and the surroundings became quiet for a moment. Rum's big bald head reflected the lights of the bar and sparkled.
The bald head, rosacea, moustache, mole teeth and the confused expression in his face make the comic effect comparable to that of Chaplin.
The "puff" laughter came one after another, continuously, and Rum's face turned green.
How could Miyazaki Ren, who claimed to be Rum's top confidant, not be considerate of his boss's mood? He stepped forward, snatched the wig from the robber leader's hand, put it back on Rum in a flash, and then turned around and scolded those who were watching the excitement, "What are you looking at? Stop looking."
He was good-looking and seemed to have decent skills, so everyone was happy to give him this respect. Although they were still watching the fun, they stopped laughing out loud.
Rum had never been treated like this before and was shaking with anger. From the look in his eyes, Miyazaki Ren knew that this robber leader would probably not see the sun tomorrow.
Furukaya Rei had seen enough of the excitement, and he figured it out. With the abilities of Miyazaki Ren and the others, the robber leader would definitely not be able to take Kenshinori Oda away today. In that case, he might as well go with the flow and do a favor for this future colleague.
"Sir, I'm here to treat everyone to a drink. How about you just let it go for my sake?" Furiya Rei tossed the cocktail glass upwards and spoke softly.
Seeing him like this, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei shuddered unconsciously. Why did Zero feel so weird?
The leader of the robbers confirmed Rum's identity, but he was not sure who the bartender was. He did not want to have any more accidents, so he could only say along the ladder, "Then I will give you this face, brothers, and collect the guys for a drink."
The bar became lively again, and again, except for Rum, no one was injured.
