Chapter 3234 3246 [The Peaceful Life of Calvados]
After all, he was a guest who came to visit. Since he was going to refuse this hopeless request, Amuro Toru comforted him casually:
"There are no ghosts in this world, let alone dreams. You may just miss your wife too much, and you have accumulated a lot of pressure since her death, so you always have such dreams. As long as the next..."
"No!" Goda Hideo interrupted him. The middle-aged man who had just lost his wife shook his head vigorously, "You have no idea how realistic that kind of dream is. Besides, that watch, it was not lost outside, it was lost at home!"
Amuro Toru was startled: "Ah?"
The middle-aged man scratched his head and smiled indulgently: "My wife is usually quite absent-minded. Once she lost a lipstick and she spent a whole day looking for it at home. Finally, she was really tired and wanted to take a break. She picked up a magazine on the bedside table and found the lost lipstick. It turned out that it was stuck in the magazine."
Toru Amuro: "..."
The corner of his eye twitched slightly. "Things left at home are not considered lost, right? You can find them if you just look for them yourself."
Hearing this, Hideo Gota felt even more embarrassed: "To be honest, I am even more confused than my wife. Every time I help her find something, I can't find it. On the contrary, she has helped me find it several times."
Amuro Toru looked at him speechlessly: No matter how confused he was, how could he not find such a big watch in such a small house? - Is this guy playing him?
Beside him, Jiang Xia seemed to be touched by the affection between Hideo Gotada and his wife, and said in a very friendly manner: "It doesn't sound like it will take long to find a watch at home. I'll go and help you check it out."
Toru Amuro stood up and began to hesitate about his decision: such a boring commission, why not find an excuse to slip away - as an undercover agent and intelligence officer of the organization, his schedule is packed from morning to night, and he had to stay up late to make up for the time he had to come to the detective agency today.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Goda Hideo seemed to have misunderstood his intention of standing up. The middle-aged man said embarrassedly, "It's just a small matter. How can I trouble you, the boss of the detective agency, to go out for help?"
He pulled Jiang Xia over and said to Amuro Toru, "Just have this little brother accompany me to look for it."
Toru Amuro: "?"
He was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.
When it comes to finding things, isn't it true that the more people there are, the more efficient it will be?
But now, this seemingly confused client actually sent him away and went to see Jiang Xia alone...
Oh, is this guy who "happened to come to the door" finally going to show his true colors?
With this in mind, Amuro Toru stopped dead in his tracks. He gave a polite and standard smile: "You're welcome. Since we have nothing else to do today, we'll go with you to have a look - find it sooner so that your wife can rest in peace sooner."
Hideo Goda: "..." But didn't you just say that there are no ghosts or dreams in the world...
Anyway, the next schedule is set.
Toru Amuro drove the car, took Jiang Xia and Hideo Goda, and drove to the client's house.
Passing by an intersection, Jiang Xia suddenly noticed something and turned to look at the cars waiting for the red light on the street next to him.
…
“A-choo!”
In calm traffic.
In a low-key black sedan, Calvados rubbed his nose, turned his head away and sneezed.
"Why do I feel like someone is watching me..."
He closed the car window, which was slightly open, completely and looked around suspiciously.
After observing for a while, he found that there seemed to be no danger around. Calvados muttered to himself: "Could it be that I was always nervous recently, so I am prone to similar illusions now?"
Thinking of the peaceful life of the past few days, he nodded secretly, attributed his sudden sense of crisis to this reason, and then started to think about other things again.
——The murders he was involved in along the way from Osaka to Tokyo caused him to lose all his weapons in disgrace.
He thought this was the worst possible luck, but after that, he even lost his homes one after another.
...After living for so many years, even when he was a savage in the rainforest, he had never lived in such an embarrassing situation. He felt like he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, but he couldn't see where the enemies were.
Fortunately, perhaps it was simply because he was not used to the local climate. After the case of the landlord's grandson and the beetle, he had a rare period of peace.
He had a house to live in, no murders, and because he didn't have a single bullet on him, he didn't have to worry about losing his gun... After a few days of this carefree life, just when Calvados thought things would continue like this, suddenly, a change occurred.
——The landlord’s grandmother lost her most beloved grandson. After dealing with the aftermath with grief, she had no intention of running the apartment, so she planned to sell the apartment, pay a penalty to the unlucky tenant Calvados, and then return to the countryside to retire.
Calvados: "..." Is it money that he lacks? He just lacks a stable place to live!
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with this decision, things had come to this point and Calvados had no choice but to embark on a journey to find a new place to live.
"Come to think of it, in the past, I could get any safe house I wanted with just a word. If there were really no vacant houses, I could stay at the base for a few days. But now...
"What on earth are those guys in the logistics department doing? Is it because the organization has expanded too fast recently and the number of safe houses can't keep up, or are they treating me differently based on the situation?"
Although he secretly had many suspicions and dissatisfactions in his heart, Calvados had no gun in his hand and he was not confident - at this time, not only should he not offend those bastards in logistics, but he should also try to remain friendly so as to restore his arsenal as soon as possible.
in addition……
“That goddess wouldn’t have asked me to return to Tokyo for no reason.” Thinking of Vermouth, Calvados’s resentful eyes softened a little. “No matter what she wants, I can’t conflict with those guys in the logistics department now, so as not to cause trouble and disrupt her plan.”
Thinking of this, Calvados suppressed his anger and decided to wait until the matter was over and he got the guns before settling accounts with those unreliable guys.
As for now, of course, it is more important to find a house. He doesn't want to sleep on the streets.
"The guys in the logistics department said they would help me find a new house, but from the last few times, I've always had bad luck in the places they found."
"I'd better think of a solution myself. The apartment I'm living in now is pretty good. Although there was a murder case right after I moved in, the following few days have been quite peaceful. I have to ask the new landlord if she is willing to renew the contract with me. It doesn't matter if I spend a little more money."
