Chapter 3213 3225 [Eavesdropping]
Speaking of vehicles, the male secretary looked at his watch and was a little worried: "I have to rush to Tokyo to do something later. I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth. Miss Shirai, how about I leave the task of taking the guests out to play to you?"
"..." Curacao almost choked on her coffee. She glanced at the male secretary and tried her best to suppress the murderous intent in her eyes. "But I just came here not long ago and I am not familiar with the surrounding environment. In this respect, I am no different from the guests."
The male secretary smiled and shook his head: "It's a big difference." - Who told you to work for that old lawyer, Ju? It's normal to do some work in advance.
Looking at this brother in distress, no, sister in distress, the male secretary stood up, feeling relieved:
"And I remember that this is not your first time here. You have been here several times before, and I was the one who received you then. Although this place is vast, the scenery is very simple. As a professional lawyer with a good memory, you must still remember the places I introduced to you then, right? You can take these guests there to have a look again."
After saying this, he did not give Curacao a chance to refute, and left quickly, using the excuse that time was tight.
Curacao tried hard to ignore Uzo's burning gaze in her peripheral vision. She looked at the male secretary's ghostly back and almost broke her coffee cup: "..." Damn it, just wait for me...
No matter what she was thinking, Ms. Shirai managed to maintain a normal reaction on her face.
Mao Lilan didn't notice the turbulent emotions under her calm appearance. Listening to John's anxious barking outside, and looking at the busy maid who was busy cleaning the table, she couldn't help but suggest:
"Mrs. Yaeko, how about I help you walk John while we're taking a walk around the neighborhood? My dad sometimes takes on dog-hunting jobs, and I'm actually pretty good at walking dogs."
The old maid was clearing the dishes and looked up in surprise. "Really? That's great. To be honest, such a big villa is basically managed by me and Mr. Sakuraba. He went to Tokyo, so I am a little too busy today."
…
So soon, everyone's itinerary was decided.
After breakfast, the group got up and went out, planning to take the cute dog for a walk around the neighborhood.
Curacao, who was forced to become a temporary tour guide, walked to the door with heavy steps. She took her bag hanging on the hanger at the door, squeezed it, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
After a moment of silence, Curacao held the bag in her hand as if nothing had happened. Then she walked out of everyone's sight, reached in and touched it carefully. Soon, her fingertips touched a bug and she fell silent.
...Who put it there?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Curacao turned his head and looked at Jiang Xia who was teasing the long-haired dog in the yard.
Curacao: “…” Well, although I don’t want to admit it, it’s definitely not Uzo’s arrangement. If he wanted to eavesdrop, he wouldn’t put the bug in a place like this.
As an intelligence officer who always deals with various forces in various identities, Curacao not only has to hide his identity as a member of the Black Organization in his daily life, but also has to perform some undercover missions every now and then.
Anyone who could do this kind of dangerous work for many years without dying had obviously developed all kinds of good habits - for example, he would check any belongings he had left behind when he got them back, to prevent them from being installed with bugs, locators, and other messy things.
A lady's purse is only so small, so there are only a few places to hide items. Curacao just touched the side wall out of habit, and found that there was something inside the interlayer that shouldn't be there.
"It must have been placed there by an amateur. If they had simply stuffed a bug into a bag filled with a lot of stuff, they might have gotten away with it. But this kind of place that's convenient for hiding things is more conspicuous to intelligence officers like us..."
Touching the bug, Curacao was forced into deep thought.
Of course, this kind of thing is not something you can just throw away after you discover it.
Just like once you discover a cockroach, you have to consider where its compatriots and offspring are - as a member of a black organization, once you find a bug, you have to follow this thing, speculate who installed it, guess where the other party is and what their purpose is, and then formulate a series of response plans.
Although Uzo was around, it greatly affected my thinking.
However, as an experienced member of the organization who had been forced to study many of Uzo's scripts, it didn't take long for Curacao to have a rough guess.
"Let's ignore that arrogant director for now. If we only look at the current situation, this thing should have been put into my bag by Lawyer Tachibana."
The notorious old lawyer was not stupid. Although she had repeatedly said that she and Jiang Xia had no friendship and were just ordinary acquaintances - but after eavesdropping with Uzo last night, when she returned to the group of lawyers as "Lawyer Shirai", Lawyer Tachibana did not directly ask her to go to Jiang Xia to inquire about the news, but instead started talking about other topics.
"You may have heard that our law firm has a bad reputation now because of some bad decisions I made in the past."
Last night, Lawyer Ju took the attitude of a heart-to-heart talk and said to her, the fake junior, with a kind face:
“Maybe the more a person lacks something, the more he or she wants it. When I was unknown, I was willing to do anything to go further as a lawyer, even at the cost of giving up my own reputation.
"But now that I have a successful career and a lot of money, I want to wash away the real and fake stigma on myself."
Curacao sat opposite him with a respectful look on his face, drinking the tea served by the male secretary, but his mind was a little distracted: "..." It's too difficult to whiten this piece of charcoal like you. I suggest you stop trying and just go on your way easily.
Lawyer Ju failed to see through her disguise: "So I want to do some charity work - among the cases that Jiang Xia encountered, there must be some poor people who can't afford lawyers, or can only hire some mediocre lawyers. I plan to provide them with legal assistance."
Curacao: "..." What's the use of legal aid around Uzo? You might as well take a psychologist qualification exam, then maybe you can make some use of your remaining energy and let other innocent members of the organization stay quiet for two days.
Just as he was thinking, he noticed some dissatisfaction in Lawyer Ju's eyes. Curacao came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and pretended to be surprised and said, "That's great. I thank you in advance on behalf of Jiang Xia and those poor people who can't afford a lawyer."
