Scarlet Night 16
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule," Amuro said with a friendly smile, and the secretary quietly left after filling the cups for the two of them. "I have submitted an application to Mr. Iori..."
He glanced at Mr. Taki Hongguang inconspicuously. He seemed to be in his twenties or thirties, with neatly trimmed hair and a pair of purple eyes covered by black-framed glasses on his nose. He had a capable and mature temperament, and from the way he sat down, it was clear that he must have some skills.
Moreover...Furuya Rei felt a little confused, as if he was familiar with this face, but he was sure that he had never seen this face before. What was going on...
"Mr. Iori is currently unavailable," the sound of the cup being put back on the table interrupted Furiya Rei's thoughts. Taki Hongguang folded his hands on his knees and put on a gentle look, "I'll have to entertain you, Mr. Amuro."
Mr. Iori is probably still busy with the "extradition". Morobushi Kagemitsu looked at his childhood friend, suppressed his emotions, and remained calm. The character given to him by the water plant is a distant relative of Mr. Iori, who got into trouble in his hometown and could not stay there any longer. He could only pack his bags and plan to try to make a living from his "wealthy and powerful" relative's place by relying on his insignificant blood ties.
Of course, Mr. Iori had no intention of bringing him into Huiren Society at the beginning, but with the assistance of the water plant, he intentionally or unintentionally demonstrated his abilities and character weaknesses that were easily controlled. In the end, he handed over some of the "tails" left over from his hometown to the man, and finally he got the favor of Mr. Iori and was willing to give him a chance to join Huiren Society.
"Mr. Taki Hong is someone trusted by Mr. Iori." The appointment time was limited, so Furuya Rei decided to be a little more direct. He stared at Taki Hong's expression, not missing any changes. "It's my honor to meet you... I took the liberty to come here today, hoping that you can give me some advice..."
"Do you know anything about the abandoned hospital that your company invested in 20 years ago?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became tense, and there was a vague feeling that the air was stagnant. Taki Hongguang's fingertips tapped the knuckles of his other hand from time to time, and Furukaya Rei could feel the sharp eyes like a dagger behind the lenses.
"Mr. Amuro, are you referring to the detective commission you received yesterday?" With a chuckle, Taki Hongguang broke the dangerous atmosphere, as if the coldness and murderous intent just now were just an illusion, "What a pity..."
The police were called yesterday, but Huiren Society got the news today, or maybe yesterday... Although it was expected, Fūya Ling still straightened his back and silently waited for Taki Hongguang's next words, "If only those children hadn't called the police." The regret on the baby's face was real, "At this point, the gods will refuse to take the souls of those children to the other side."
"It's all our fault."
