Chapter 111 Until the Sea Turns Blue - Photo No matter how much she thinks, she should...
Toru Amuro declined to comment on Lin Xi's evaluation.
He threw the man aside and said, "The Fengtang Group has always had a drug production line that transports drugs from Yueying Island to the inland. This should be their drug production factory."
He has been investigating the Fengtan Group inland for the past three months, and has even infiltrated their gang as an undercover agent - just like what Hei Mai did before.
He knew that the Mineta Group was involved in human trafficking and drug trafficking, and had protectors in high-level politics and their own white gloves in the business world. He had always wanted to wipe this notorious gang out of Japan.
Five years ago, with Punch's tacit approval, he had dealt a heavy blow to their human trafficking business. Their protector, Yaga Chiya, had also died at Punch's hands.
Now, he kept tracing and narrowing down the source of their drugs, from the Izu Islands to Yueying Island, and finally locked on this place - he wanted to cut off their second arm of drug trafficking.
And, just like before, this time, Punch was beside him.
The reason why he was able to find a delicate balance between the public security and the organization and use the power of both sides to fight against the Fengtan Group was because of Pan Qu's acquiescence and support.
It seems to be the same this time.
Punch, the elusive fellow, was even more mystical than him—wait, it seems the word "mysticism" came from Punch? Even Vermouth only became a mystic later in life.
So this guy is actually the originator of mysticism.
Thinking of this, that strong sense of disobedience surged up again:
Would Punch really make such a drama-free debut?
No matter how she thought about it, she should have lied to him first...
The girl next to him stroked her chin and said thoughtfully, "So, let's take some photos and report it to the police here, right?"
Amuro Toru glanced at her and said, "There's only one police station on this entire island, and there's only one veteran police officer in that police station. And guess how many of their people are on this island?"
Lin Xi lowered his head and thought for a moment:
"I understand. That's why we need to mobilize the masses."
Toru Amuro:?
Did she even understand what he was saying? Did he mean for her to find someone to confront them head-on?
Faced with this situation, shouldn't we first secretly collect evidence, then return to the inland to report, and let the armed police come and catch the criminals in one fell swoop?
"You don't understand, Mr. Bourbon."
Lin Xi chuckled twice. "There are only one or two factories on this entire island. Oh, and maybe a few officials on the island are their people. They are numerous, yes, but think about it, who is the real owner of this island?"
Who is the real owner of Moon Shadow Island?
The first answer that flashed through Toru Amuro's mind was the three candidates for village chief who would jointly lead Tsukikage Island.
Masato Shimizu, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and Hideo Kawashima.
But this answer was quickly denied by Toru Amuro himself.
Although they have jointly managed the affairs on the island for the past three years, they actually each have a different stance. And as Lin Xi said just now, Amuro Toru doesn't believe that the Minetoko Group has been able to run a drug factory on the island for so many years without a protective umbrella behind it.
Maybe one of them is among these three candidates.
So, who is the "real owner of Yueying Island" that Lin Xi mentioned?
An image flashed through Toru Amuro's mind.
That was when he first arrived on the island. He had just walked to the community center when he happened to see a massive demonstration of fishermen outside the center.
"Say no to pollution!" "Return the fishing grounds to the fishermen!"
The banners held by the angry crowd had such bright and eye-catching slogans written on them.
Amuro Toru seemed to be lost in thought.
"Fishermen, you mean?"
Lin Xi: "Bingo~ Yes, Mr. Bourbon. Perhaps you've also heard that the fishermen on the island are demonstrating near the community center?"
"They are calling for environmental protection and opposing Kuroiwa Tatsuji's election as the next village chief because he approved factory construction on the island and failed to properly control pollution, causing damage to the fishing grounds on which the fishermen depend."
"With a wave of his hand, Kuroiwa Tatsuji approved the construction of a cluster of factories, including this one."
"You said, if someone told them the truth, saying that the factory that Kuroiwa Tatsuji approved to build was actually a drug factory, which had been producing drugs on Tsukikage Island and shipping them all over Japan for years, and that Kuroiwa Tatsuji himself had profited hugely from it, allowing the drug factory to pollute the fishery..."
“So what are the already angry fishermen going to do?”
The girl's eyebrows were curved, and her tone was relaxed, but her words carried great weight, weighing heavily on Amuro's heart.
I am afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
Toru Amuro interpreted this characteristic of the girl from Lin Xi's interested expression.
It goes without saying how dangerous it is to incite the emotions of the fishermen and make them confront the Fengtan Group head-on.
The Fengtan Group is not an ordinary gang. They dare to traffic in human beings and produce drugs, which means that they must have enough weapons and are not afraid of small conflicts.
Did she want those unarmed fishermen to face a group of armed violent men with guns?
If this is not handled properly, it will definitely cause huge casualties and lead to tragedy—
Doesn't she know all this?
"Mr. Bourbon, you look terrible."
While saying this, Lin Xi's hand holding the Polaroid camera was eager to take action.
Bourbon face, Bourbon eyes, black trench coat, black gloves, black hat version of Bourbon cat.
cute.
Toru Amuro was stunned.
...When facing this guy, his expression control was a little ineffective.
But he really couldn't laugh.
In order to cover up his gaffe, he tilted his head slightly and turned his face to the other side.
"Ms. Lin, we're still unsure whether Kuroiwa Tatsuji is aware of the fact that the Mineta Group has opened a drug manufacturing factory here."
"Mr. Bourbon, whether he knew about it or not is not important. What is important is that he approved it and, to some extent, profited from it."
Amuro Toru remained silent.
Indeed, Heiyan Chenci used cheap land and high-quality labor to attract companies to build factories on Yueying Island. The Fengtan Group was also among them. In order to obtain more land and a safe manufacturing environment, they must have given Heiyan Chenci a lot of benefits.
"Sometimes, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter if the means are a little despicable. What do you think, Mr. Bourbon?"
Lin Xi stayed close to Amuro Toru, not letting him escape her sight.
"...Of course," Amuro Toru said, "but making a big fuss won't do us any good. The Minetoko Clan is armed, and the fishermen are unarmed. If a conflict occurs as you envision, it will likely be one-sided."
"Hmm--hmm." Lin Xi nodded.
"This is truly unfair. One side has weapons, the other doesn't. This kind of game is boring. Besides, as an ordinary citizen, I don't want to see anyone bleed here. I prefer a happy ending to a tragedy."
Toru Amuro:?
Ordinary citizens?
Is there anything about her that seems to fit the description?
She now looks extremely eager to try, without any awareness of an ordinary citizen!
Receiving Amuro Toru's questioning gaze, Lin Xi smiled brightly:
"I've already said that a game wouldn't be fun if it weren't fair. So, to maintain a fair gaming environment, let us handle the weapons of the Fengtang Group, okay?"
Amuro Toru raised his head: "You mean..."
"Uh-huh."
Lin Xi saw Amuro Tomo coming over and nodded with the Polaroid camera in hand.
If it's unfair, why not just create a fair environment?
"You..." Amuro Toru was a little speechless, "This is difficult to do."
Lin Xi shook his head.
"It's not difficult, Mr. Bourbon." Her honey-colored eyes looked directly into Amuro's gray-blue eyes. "Of course you can't do it alone. But if we work together, we can accomplish anything."
"I promised someone to help solve the problem here, permanently and once and for all, and the deadline is only three days."
"In fact, even if you and I didn't come here, the drug factory here would have been discovered sooner or later. All candidates for village chief who had connections with the Fengtan Group would have died, and the angry people would have come into direct conflict with the armed Fengtan Group members. Everything you worry about would have happened."
"I finally took my sister out for some relaxation, and I really don't want to see any fatalities."
The girl's sincere eyes didn't seem fake.
Amuro Toru was speechless.
However, he noticed Lin Xi's choice of words and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by 'others'...?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Bourbon should have seen him too. He's the doctor on Yueying Island, Asai Chengmi."
"He should be staying with the most influential person in the Minetoko group on this island to restrict his movements."
"How's it going? Does it feel like the difficulty has been lowered again, Mr. Bourbon?"
Amuro Toru's face was gloomy. After a while, he nodded.
"Let's act together, Miss Lin."
Seeing that he agreed, Lin Xi immediately said: "If things go well, I can keep this photo——"
"--no."
Her answer was Amuro Toru's cold and ruthless rejection.
The photo in the girl's hand has gradually shown color.
In the dim and dilapidated factory, a blond young man in a black windbreaker smiled gently.
Perhaps it was due to the unique filter of the Polaroid camera and the unique halo effect, the young man's originally sharp and dangerous eyes were filtered out, and his smile did not seem so fake, but instead looked very sincere.
It's a photo-cheating filter.
Lin Xi stroked the photo and thought to himself, just refuse it, man, sooner or later he will take out a bargaining chip that you can't refuse in exchange for your photo!
.
late at night.
Conan picked up his things and piled them on the bed in the clinic.
…It’s all uncle’s fault. Conan opened his tired eyes and complained in his heart.
If he hadn't seen that Dr. Asai, a girl, was so weak and was afraid that the murderer would come to the clinic to attack Kawashima Hideo again, and that Dr. Asai could not protect Kawashima Hideo alone, so he volunteered to come over, he, Xiaolan, and Xiaoai would not have ended up sleeping in the clinic.
Although it's true that Dr. Asai does seem to need protection...
Conan glanced at Ran Mouri who was chatting with Dr. Asai.
I don't know what the two of them were talking about, but they seemed quite happy.
Although he knew in his heart that Asai Narumi was a girl, Conan still felt a subtle sense of discomfort.
He saw the pile of things he had just placed on the bed, and with an idea in his mind, he pulled out the little dolphin doll he had just received in the morning and walked towards the two of them.
Ai Haibara, who was reading a book not far away, glanced lazily at Conan who had switched back to elementary school student mode.
She just smelled a sour smell inexplicably in the air.
