Chapter 1937 1945 [Charcoal Rum Reservation]
Jiang Xia had just stopped at several other crowded places in the square. When he came here, his movements were relatively covert, so there were very few customers in the corner where they were at this time.
The female boss of Toru Amuro stayed beside the dining car for a moment and left reluctantly. After all, she was a socialite with a wide range of connections, and among the guests who came to the food party this time, there were many friends she knew. She couldn't stay around the dining car all the time and had to go over to say a few words.
After she left, there were only three people left in the two cars.
Jiang Xia seemed to have finally noticed how busy Amuro Toru was, and took the initiative to come over to help his boss, like a diligent and good employee.
Rum watched this scene, thinking of the two men's respective superficial and true identities. He couldn't help but touch his chin, feeling a subtle pleasure of watching a fight between dragons and tigers.
Amuro watched his movements from the corner of his eye, and the alarm bells in his heart suddenly rang louder: this boss is really interested in Jiang Xia. By the way, why is Rum here today? Can't he just do his own work? Why does he always stay here to see what Jiang Xia is doing?
Before he could figure out what this cunning boss meant, Toru Amuro suddenly discovered that there were unusual movements on Jiang Xia's side.
——An old man came to buy food. Jiang Xia handed the food to him. When he took his hand back, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his back and quietly looked at something.
Amuro Toru suddenly became alert.
He glanced at the "old man" who disappeared in a flash, and then secretly observed Rum.
Then he quickly made a judgment: Judging from Rum's appearance, today's incident was not arranged by him, it was probably just a simple coincidence.
Amuro Toru: "..." It's just that this "coincidence" happened to Jiang Xia...
He thought of his previous journey which was so long that it seemed to have no end. For a moment, he wanted to pretend that he had seen nothing and immediately ask for leave and leave.
But he couldn't just ignore his own men. And if he thought optimistically, that wave of troublesome but solvable murderers was much easier to deal with than Rum.
I was thinking about it very conflictedly.
At this time, Jiang Xia turned to him hesitantly and said, "Boss, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll leave things here to you."
Toru Amuro glanced at him and saw that the young detective was lying with a guilty conscience: he didn't look like he was going to the bathroom, but the "old man" just now might have taken the opportunity to pass a message to Jiang Xia, wanting to ask him to go somewhere else.
If it were under normal circumstances, Toru Amuro might have taught him some lying skills.
But now that Rum was right beside him, he felt that Jiang Xia's true appearance was good: Look, this high school student is not suitable for the organization at first glance, and promoting him will expose him in a minute. It is better to let him concentrate on being a detective he likes, and it is not a loss to provide intelligence occasionally.
I glanced to the side and saw Rum looking away. Perhaps for the intelligence chief, this kind of acting was beyond his tolerance.
A series of complicated thoughts flashed through his mind. Amuro Toru pretended not to notice the problem and nodded to Jiang Xia as usual: "Go, and come back as soon as possible."
Jiang Xia responded, as if he cared a lot about the matter. He didn't even bother to recognize Amuro Toru's unusual expression. He walked away worriedly with a small note in his hand.
…
Rum watched Jiang Xia walk away.
Then he suddenly remembered something, glanced at Amuro Toru, and raised his hand to rub his chin.
Superb acting skills can make people believe it even when used to play "poor acting" - Rum is very sure that the appearance of Uzo just now was all pretended from head to toe, and maybe even the old lady who handed him something was arranged by him.
Then it’s worth pondering Uzo’s purpose – what is this guy trying to do?
Perhaps it will be the same as before, just adding an everyday 3-choice-1 murder case as a little ordinary change in boring life.
But maybe... there is another purpose.
Thinking of this, Rum looked across the park, looking at the policemen busy with the joint lecture in the distance, and then looking at Amuro Toru beside him - with such a wonderful stage and such interesting people, was Uzo really willing to let everything today end in such an ordinary way?
Rum: “…” Impossible, absolutely impossible.
No matter how you look at it, there must be a significant sacrifice today. And the most likely candidate is of course...
Rum shifted his gaze and fell on Amuro Toru.
——If I remember correctly, Wu Zuo always liked to give his "boss" some interesting killing moves every now and then.
I'm afraid it will be the same this time.
And now Uzo suddenly left for other things, leaving Bourbon here alone. Will the place where these two food trucks are located become Uzo's stage next?
Thinking of this, Rum looked at the distance between himself and Amuro Toru and suddenly realized something.
Rum: “…” Although he was not afraid of Uzo’s little moves, now he was just an ordinary sushi chef.
And if he wants to continue to maintain this identity and keep up the pleasant, "I know you but you don't know me" relationship with Uzo, his skills cannot be too good.
so……
Rum pondered: "..." Although he didn't know what would happen in the park, why not find an excuse to keep a distance from Bourbon?
Just as I was about to leave, Toru Amuro spoke first.
"Mr. Wakita." Bourbon gave him a smile that belonged to Toru Amuro. "I suddenly need to go to the bathroom, too. Could you please watch the dining car for me? If it's really inconvenient, that's fine. I'll ask someone else for help."
Rum: “…”Hmm?
Why is this guy leaving suddenly? Could it be that the stage that Uzo had scheduled isn’t actually here?
That’s right, the view from this place is not very good, and maybe Uzo wanted to see Bourbon’s misfortune with his own eyes, so he thought of a way to get him to go somewhere else.
This was just fine: I took the initiative to leave, which was a bit like avoiding Uzo. But now, I was as still as a mountain, and Bourbon took the initiative to move towards the dangerous place, which was just right.
He waved his hand nonchalantly: "Go ahead."
Amuro Toru responded and quickly chased to where Jiang Xia left.
Rum watched his back, wondering with interest what Bourbon would experience after this.
Although Bourbon was also his subordinate, Rum did not reject this level of infighting - that was Uzo's character. Once he really accepted him under his command, this guy would probably persecute his colleagues around him.
Rather than letting everyone suffer indiscriminately, it is better to push one or two people to shoulder this responsibility.
The more similar things one experiences, the stronger one's resistance will be, and the less likely one will be scrapped - from this perspective, Rum feels that Bourbon is the only one who can take on this important task.
