Chapter 93 The Magician on the Cruise Ship
"Waaaaahh ...
The giant ship roared like a beast as it set sail from the shore, cutting through the waves and roaming the vast Pacific Ocean.
This ship, the "Suzuki," is an ocean liner jointly invested in by the Suzuki Foundation and the Kurosawa Group. It has 18 decks and a passenger capacity of approximately 5,600 people, making it a large vessel.
A press conference is being held in a medium-sized conference hall on the 16th floor, the core of which is to officially announce the return of Kurosawa Jin, the eldest son of the Kurosawa Group.
Gu Ze stood to the side of the stage, watching "Kurosawa Jin" reading aloud from a manuscript not far from him. Numerous reporters crowded below the stage, either snapping photos frantically or taking notes quickly with their laptops.
Of course, those journalists could only obtain a little false, superficial information and narrative.
After leaving the hospital, "Kurosawa Jin" took over the apartment, moving into room 301, where he used to live. He got along very well with Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei.
His acting was superb, flawless, and he conscientiously portrayed a person with amnesia, without any superfluous movements, leaving no room for anyone to find fault with him.
In the past few days, while closely monitoring the movements of the "Black Swamp Formation," Gu Ze has also been dealing with both the public security and organizational forces.
There's no problem with the public security department. As long as we appease the higher-ups and let them take a hands-off approach, everything will be fine.
As for the organization, since the main body is one of the organization's second-in-commands, a mere warning is enough to shut up those lackeys.
However, there are still some difficult issues. For example, Rum, who is at odds with Gin, seems to be making a move and has sent out a troublesome guy.
Gu Ze glanced at the audience out of the corner of his eye and landed on a blond, dark-skinned man in the back row who was dressed as a reporter and was holding a camera.
This kid has been investigating the identity of "Gu Ze" lately, and has fallen for quite a few tricks, causing his approval rating to fluctuate.
Just then, "Kurosawa Jin" finished speaking and walked off the stage towards Gu Ze. He had a gentle demeanor and a signature smile on his lips, just like his previous appearance.
"Mr. Kurosawa, the next stop is to meet Mr. Suzuki." Gu Ze flipped through the itinerary notebook.
In order to continue monitoring "Kurosawa Jin", Gu Ze was placed next to "Kurosawa Jin" as his assistant by Naoto Eikai.
"Where are Jinhei and Kenji?" Kurosawa Jin asked politely.
"Officer Nakamori's team is short-handed, so they were called over."
This five-day cruise will feature an exhibition of a rare sapphire, "Tears of the Righteous," a new piece of jewelry acquired by Jirokichi Suzuki.
For this purpose, celebrities and high-ranking figures from society were invited to visit, and "Kurosawa Jin" was among them.
As for Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, they took a long leave of absence and have been inseparable from "Kurosawa Jin" these past few days, saying they are there to protect "Kurosawa Jin's" safety.
Now that Hagiwara and Matsuda are gone, there seems to be no need for "Kurosawa Jin" to continue acting, and his expression fell.
"Oh, not pretending anymore?" Gu Ze tilted his head slightly and looked at "Kurosawa Formation".
Damn it, the vest is a bit short!
Gu Ze, who is about 1.6 meters tall, is more than half a head shorter than "Kurosawa Array".
The two stood facing each other, with an undercurrent of tension in the air. Gu Ze's aura was no less imposing than that of the "Black Swamp Formation".
"Kurosawa Jin" stared at Gu Ze like he was staring at prey, and said, "My master told me to tell you that he will take revenge for the past grievances one by one!"
"Oh~ you have a grudge against me? Let me guess, your master is number three—my defeated foe, Negroni." Gu Ze pretended to suddenly realize something.
"Ha, once I gain their trust and approval, what can you do then?"
Kurosawa's sneer had a very Gin-esque feel to it, after all, it was made from Gin's ashes.
"It's another attempt to lower my approval rating and then kill me. How unoriginal. Doesn't your master have any other tricks up his sleeve?"
After making his sarcastic remarks, Gu Ze decided not to listen to any more of the other person's trash talk and turned to leave.
[Ding! Rei Furuya saw you arguing with your good friend Kurosawa, and his impression of you has declined.]
[Ryougu Zero's approval rating -5]
Gu Ze: That unlucky kid!
Cruise ship, jewels, Jirokichi Suzuki – these words together foreshadow the arrival of that man!
The Magician Under the Moonlight! Phantom Thief Kid!
From the moment he boarded the ship, Jirokichi Suzuki was busy with the jewel exhibition and security to prevent the Phantom Thief Kid from getting into trouble.
Despite his busy schedule, the old man still managed to meet with "Kurosawa Jin," and the two had a very pleasant conversation.
There was a small incident during that time.
"I'm so... so sorry to have troubled you!" The young man in the waiter's uniform apologized as he cleaned up the broken wine glasses on the floor.
The waiter accidentally broke a wine glass while serving drinks to Jirokichi Suzuki and Jin Kurosawa.
It was quite a coincidence that all the red wine ended up on "Kurosawa Jin".
This was a rather serious "accident," and the general manager gave the waiter a severe scolding after he arrived.
"I'm very sorry, distinguished guests, this is a new waiter." The general manager bowed 90 degrees to "Kurosawa Jin".
"It's alright." Kurosawa Jin wiped the stains off his body with a handkerchief, but it was no use.
The red wine stains stood out starkly against the white suit.
"Mr. Kurosawa, you need to change your clothes," Gu Ze reminded him.
Kurosawa Jin nodded and said apologetically, "Mr. Suzuki, I may have to excuse myself for a while."
"It's alright, the banquet is about to start tonight, see you in half an hour." Suzuki Jirokichi patted Kurosawa Jin on the shoulder.
After leaving the reception room, Gu Ze and "Kurosawa Jin" remained silent as they went upstairs to "Kurosawa Jin's" room.
As one of the investors in this cruise ship, "Kurosawa Jin" boasts undeniably luxurious rooms, divided into two levels. The upper level contains rooms, bathrooms, and other amenities, while the lower level features a huge living room, dining table, and small balcony.
As soon as the door closed, "Kurosawa Jin" still had a smile on his face. "I'm going upstairs to change my clothes. Mr. Gu Ze, please have a seat for a while."
Hearing this, Gu Ze nodded slightly and watched the other person go upstairs.
They're still putting on an act. Logically, shouldn't they be at odds with each other when no one else is around?
Of course not! Because there are more than just the two of them in this room!
Gu Ze did not sit down, but walked towards the balcony door.
"Tap tap tap." His leather shoes lightly pattered on the ground.
If you push open the glass door of the balcony and look to the right, you'll find a black golden retriever pressed tightly against the wall.
Whether he hid or not, it made no difference. Gu Ze and the "Black Swamp Formation" both knew where he was.
However, Furuya Rei on the balcony was unaware of this.
He gritted his teeth, inwardly cursing, "Why are these two back?! I haven't even set up the listening device yet!"
Sensing Gu Ze's footsteps, Furuya Rei held his breath. Whenever Gu Ze tried to open the door, he would climb down from the balcony, where there were footholds to hold onto temporarily.
However, Furuya Rei was lucky; a phone call stopped Gu Ze from moving forward.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a hurry and needed Gu Ze to handle it.
“Mr. Gu Ze, I need you to go back to the previous meeting room and come back immediately.”
"good."
After finishing his conversation with the person on the phone, Gu Ze left the room, which made Furuya Rei breathe a sigh of relief.
During Rei Furuya's recent investigation, he noticed this mysterious guy.
Gu Ze, a wealthy young man who inherited his parents' fortune, works as a detective by profession and as a reporter by side. His background is very clean, but it's too clean.
As a member of the organization's intelligence team, Furuya Rei's top-notch sixth sense told him that Gu Ze was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
He continued his investigation and, sure enough, found that this guy not only had some dealings in the gray areas, but also had connections with the organization.
With Gu Ling's authority, he could request access to information within the Public Security Bureau regarding the organization's Base Fourteen, information obtained when Base Fourteen was destroyed.
He recalled the documents he had found regarding the C208 experimental subject.
The materials are very incomplete, but some information can still be obtained.
For example, in the section on the source of the experimental subjects, it says "provided by Bideli".
Bideli, Rei Furuya has never heard of this code name in all these years in the organization.
Following this lead, he soon learned that Bideley had once been a high-ranking member of the organization, but had been killed a few years earlier for betrayal.
Bideli used many names, one of which was "Natsume Choji," a businessman.
Natsume Choji owns a property, which is currently registered under Gu Ze's name...
The two lines collided in such a wondrous way.
Rei Furuya felt that Natsume Choji and Gu Ze must have an extraordinary relationship.
Is Gu Ze actually a member of the organization? Furuya Rei pondered silently.
[Ding! Rei Furuya has become suspicious of you.]
[Ryougu Zero's approval rating -10]
Gu Ze, who was walking down the street, suddenly heard this notification and felt helpless.
The unfortunate child thought he had discovered the truth, but he had actually been tricked into going into the valley.
"Tap tap—"
The knocking interrupted Rei Furuya's thoughts.
"who?"
Kurosawa Jin walked down the stairs, now dressed in a black suit.
"Hello, sir, the general manager instructed me to bring you some compensation items."
If Gu Ze were there, he would have noticed that the waiter's voice was the same as the voice on the phone he received.
As soon as "Kurosawa Jin" opened the door, before he could even see the waiter's face clearly, he was greeted by a sweet fragrance.
"Thump!"
He fell to the ground.
It's Kaito Kid!
With everything laid out before him, Rei Furuya provides a live look at Kaito Kid's disguise.
Ugh! That despicable thief!
Rei Furuya, who harbors a strong sense of justice, is deeply displeased.
As a police officer, he should make the arrest quickly, but given his current status, it is very inconvenient for him.
Kaito Kid's disguise was incredibly fast. He changed the unconscious "Kurosawa Jin" into his waiter's uniform, went into the closet, and left the room as if nothing had happened.
Successfully logged in!
At that moment, Furuya Rei walked in from the balcony and hurriedly went to check on the "Kurosawa Formation." He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the "Kurosawa Formation" was unharmed.
He placed the unconscious "Kurosawa Jin" in the upstairs bedroom and then left.
Rei Furuya can't directly expose Kaito Kid's disguise, but he can use some underhanded tactics.
