I feel relieved to leave the matter to Liyuan.
I checked the time and it was already 6pm. After being busy for most of the day, I asked Liyuan to go back to Black Lizard so that I could finally have some time to rest.
Strictly speaking, I can't be considered to be resting, I just don't have to go out and move around.
I contacted the members of the Black Lizard through the headset. My first priority now is to maintain the vitality of Yokohama Sankei.
As for the scripts of Zai Zi and Tuo Zong - I now feel more and more that it is better not to speculate on the thoughts of the gods, but to do your own thing, isn't that better?
After all, there are many people who are more stupid than me.
"Turn right at the intersection ahead, then don't knock on the main door, go in through the window on the third floor. There's a small black square in the upper right corner. Press and hold it twice and then quickly press it three times in succession, and the window will automatically open outwards. Be careful not to get hit."
I was lying on the bed, with the map of Yokohama and the route to the safe house in my mind. I ate potato chips while commanding the Gang Hei Lop-Eared Rabbit, "After you go in, just follow the road. There are Gang Hei's standard automatic weapons and traps on the road. You should be familiar with them, so I won't explain them to you~"
"I know." Lop-Eared Rabbit has always been so serious, especially after I told him that the arrangement related to him was told to me by Zai Zi himself, he became even more excited.
This is not called cheating, it's called reasonable incentives!
"Crunch, crunch" - the sound of me crunching potato chips filled the entire channel, "Gin-chan, how are things going over there?"
"Mr. Fitzgerald just came out of the discount store. Shall we take action now?" Yin replied to me on the channel. She is very good at tracking people. The most basic lesson for an assassin is to hide his presence.
"No, just follow the original plan. If you find Hawthorne, you know what to do. Have you packed everything I asked you to pack?"
"I've got it." Yin replied.
I ordered someone to bring me some sweets. Thinking and healing from injuries consume too much sugar. I need to replenish my energy. "Yes, I want Yangzhi sago and snow-capped mousse. And give me a Wellington steak... How can it be out of stock? Go get someone to go to Chinatown and buy it for me. What? The store is closed? Please, you are a mafia member. Can you be a bit more presentable and ask someone to call him out of his house to cook for me? The money should be paid to my good father Dazai Osamu. Anyway, his wanted case was not on TV. Just do as I say."
I'm already under the name of the port mafia, so why am I still pretending to be a smart guy? I must eat and drink what I want today and reward myself!
"You can go in now, Mr. Guangjin. Remember, you are visiting as an agent of the detective agency, so don't report the wrong address."
"Please rest assured." Mr. Guangjin's voice is really gentlemanly, but his methods are completely inconsistent with his voice, mature but exciting.
The person I asked Mr. Guangjin to visit was also Fitzgerald. I really need his "divine eye" now. I don't know how long the "Black Cat of the Rue Morgue" can hold back Caiju and Tieju. I have to take them into consideration at all times.
At least, I want Liyuan to do what I need before Caiju comes back. After all, with Liyuan's simple personality, he can't hide from Tiaoye Caiju.
Time passed in silence, and I could vaguely hear the progress everywhere through the little sound from the earphones.
For example, the jingling noises over there by the lop-eared rabbit must be the ones handling the entrance. This is the back door of the safe house. When I asked Kunikida-san and the others to take shelter there, I wrote on Kenji's phone that the front door should be locked from the inside.
The door is specially made so that the people inside can't hear the sounds outside, and the people outside can't hear the movements inside. Because I don't want to destroy the safe house for the time being, I need Lop-Eared Rabbit to take the more troublesome and dangerous backup passage on the other side.
It was very quiet on Yin's side, and the other noises came from Mr. Hirotsu's side.
By the way, don't worry about them affecting each other. Although this is a big channel for me, they can't hear any other sounds except mine.
For them, this contact can only be used to contact me in one direction. As long as I don't grant them permission, they can only hear my voice forever.
I threw the bag of snacks on the ground and focused all my attention on Mr. Hirotsu.
Fitzgerald's voice was the same as always, and I could even imagine what he looked like now through his voice. He must be leaning on the long sofa, with his legs crossed and his hands on the sofa back, looking arrogant and saying "I am the boss".
I just came back from the discount store and there might be a buy-one-get-one-free pot on the table.
"You mean, you are a member of the port mafia, and you are here today as a representative of the detective agency?" President Fei said as if he had heard something funny. "Now the affairs of the detective agency are known to everyone. Can you represent them?"
"Mr. Guangjin, I'm here to talk to him. Please give him the contact headset."
It’s better not to delegate business matters like this to others, but to talk face to face - no, wouldn’t it be better to talk voice to voice?
"Who are you?" he asked first.
"Dazai's good son." I have gradually become accustomed to this title.
“Pfft——” President Fei didn’t give any face at all and just laughed out loud “Hahahaha”.
But I am not as thick-skinned as I was before. This time, I was not embarrassed at all, and I responded immediately, "He is the big boss, and I am the small boss."
"Okay, Mr. Xiaozai, what is your purpose? You can't be here to chat with me, right?" As expected of Mr. Fei, he accepted it very quickly.
"Of course not. I want to borrow your 'Eye of God'. You know the injustice that the Detective Agency is facing now."
"How can you be sure that I will definitely believe that the detective agency is wrongly accused?"
I chuckled. "It doesn't take much time to talk to a smart person. You have the 'Eye of God'. That incident happened a long time ago. I wouldn't be the first person to come to you, but there is still no news from the detective agency outside. This means that you didn't tell the people who arrested them about their whereabouts. That's enough."
"I am a businessman, and businessmen will not do things that will lose money."
"That's natural. If you cooperate with the government to do something that has no results, you will suffer a lot. But it's different when you cooperate with me."
"oh?"
"Margaret Mitchell, I remember this is the name of your subordinate."
"It's the port mafia who turned her into what she is now." President Fei's tone was slightly cold, he naturally understood what I meant.
After all, who told you to start the fight in Yokohama? You can't blame old Sentou. But I need help now, so I have to be more tactful.
"So I'm here on behalf of the detective agency and have nothing to do with the Mafia."
"Isn't this Mr. Guangjin Liulang a member of the Port Mafia?"
"Oh, they really don't belong. The Black Lizards are not part of the Port Mafia. They just follow orders from some people, but it's their own business to do anything."
"... pawns that can be sacrificed at any time, right?" President Fei still attaches great importance to his subordinates, so he and Old Sentou will never reach a consensus on this aspect.
Of course, I wouldn't go against him too much. "That's too harsh. The Black Lizard is an independent organization!"
"Then I want to kill him now as the price for using the 'Eye of God', will you agree?" President Fei asked.
I had expected him to ask such a question.
"I won't comment on what the Port Mafia will do, but he is now a non-staff member of the Armed Detective Agency. What do you think?"
At this moment, Yin's voice came to me at the perfect time, "Target found, using special abilities, expect five seconds, left."
God is really helping me.
"Mr. Fitzgerald, watch your left."
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a sharp sound of breaking air, followed by the sound of glass breaking.
I believe that with the monetary capacity of the Philippines, they would not be harmed by such an attack. I had specifically instructed Mr. Guangjin not to help.
Hawthorne has only lost himself now, not his mind. If his attack fails, he will naturally retreat and look for another opportunity.
Yin will keep up with him.
Hawthorne is now Tuo Zong's man, a man, not a machine, so he must rest and receive instructions. This will inevitably involve some bases and information transmission methods.
They are all clues to some extent, so I will just treat them as casting a wide net to catch more fish.
After hearing the situation calm down, I spoke again, "How about this, Mr. Fitzgerald, can we continue our business?"
"That's interesting. What do you want to exchange for the use of the 'Eye of God'?" This time, President Fei didn't beat around the bush. Hawthorne used to be his subordinate, and he hoped that the other party could quickly get rid of this state of being controlled.
Even if death is the way to get rid of it.
"It's just as you thought. The doctors from the detective agency will provide treatment for her. Don't you also want her to 'rescue' Hawthorne?" I originally thought that the word "rescue" would be more accurate, but when I think about it, I have to be more tactful in front of the boss.
"Hahahaha——" President Fei's hearty laughter rang out over there, "Interesting, you really are so interesting. Okay, I'll take the bet!"
He bet that the Armed Detective Agency would win in the end.
Looking at the wealth of this European, Mr. Fei, we know that he is also very lucky in gambling. With him betting on my side, can we still lose?
Metaphysics is fully utilized!
"Great!" I snapped my fingers, and from the other side of the channel I heard Kunikida-ma's alert voice of "Akutagawa!" He had just arrived at the right place.
"Lop-eared rabbit—bah, Akutagawa."
"Please give the order." The lop-eared rabbit looked as if he would kill them all immediately if the order was given.
...Haven't I said it before, the Hong Kong underworld and the Armed Detective Agency are now in the same boat? Why are they still so murderous?
He needed a bag of figs to ease his irritation.
"Prepare to transfer according to the plan and go to the designated location." I knew in advance that at least this negotiation with Mr. Fei would not fail, so the purpose of Lop-Eared Rabbit going to the safe house was to pick up the three people from the detective agency and have them transfer to Mr. Fei's place.
Don't worry, I won't let Lop Rabbit go through the "explaining to the detective agency" part. After what happened this morning, Kunikida-ma and the others should still trust me. So I asked Tachihara to take a letter back to Akutagawa, and have him pass it on to Kunikida-ma, which clearly stated the interests involved -
On the one hand, Margaret Mitchell needs to be treated, and on the other hand, Dun Dun Jinghua, who also wants to use the "Eye of God" to find someone, should also come to Duffy.
Even if things have changed, it would be the same if we used the "Eye of God" to find Dun Dun and Jing Hua and then brought them to President Fei to gather them together.
The next step in using the "Eye of God" is to confirm the whereabouts of Tuo Zong and Luan Bu. Maybe in the future we will need to locate some members of the "Hounds".
These are relatively easy things to negotiate, but the trouble is the second deal I want to make with Mr. Fei.
"Besides that, I wonder if there is a chance to second a few members of your organization."
"Oh, which ones?" President Fei was obviously in a good mood.
"It's Mr. Mark Twain, who made a splash in Yokohama, John Steinbeck, and——"
I paused and stroked my tongue. "Howard Phillips Lovecraft."
