Chapter 517: Did you see this subordinate?
Rum was somewhat curious about "Uzo", the new member who was said to be very skilled. In addition, he was also somewhat puzzled about the fact that Uzo had been hiding next to Bourbon.
——Not many people knew about the "Uzo = Jiangxia" thing. And as far as Rum knew, Bourbon was not among those who knew about it.
In other words, Bourbon still treats Uzo with the same attitude as ordinary peripheral members... It must be very uncomfortable to be treated as a subordinate on the same level, but it is strange that Uzo did not go out to start his own business. I always feel that this new cadre may have other purposes.
However, despite his doubts, Rum had no intention of telling Bourbon about this.
Although there are some factions in the organization, they are not yet so clear-cut as to be incompatible with each other.
Moreover, it seems that Uzo is not the kind of brutal militant who likes to kill people with guns and throw bombs everywhere. Instead, he prefers to achieve his goals by collecting and using intelligence - that is to say, if Uzo is to be classified, he should obviously be classified as an intelligence officer.
And Rum felt that as long as he wanted, the intelligence personnel could be his subordinates in the future, and Gin was not good enough to compete with him for subordinates... Who would not want a new subordinate like Uzo who had great potential and was said to be very hardworking?
In short, in Rum's eyes, there is no obvious difference between Bourbon and the very promising Ouzo.
And to be honest, Rum always felt that Bourbon gave people a strange sense of disharmony in some aspects - although he could not find evidence, he actually suspected that this useful subordinate was not loyal enough.
Therefore, Rum often asked Bourbon for information, but he rarely assigned tasks involving important intelligence to Bourbon.
At this time, he certainly would not reveal the identity of another member to Bourbon for no reason.
In fact, if he were to say it, it would be better if Uzo didn't know Bourbon's identity.
Two elite intelligence officers should not have worked together, otherwise it would be easy for both to be killed... No matter how much potential Wu Zuo has or how dark his family background is, he is still a person who can make mistakes and be caught. What if Wu Zuo is arrested and gives out unnecessary information if he is not killed in time?
I heard that young people nowadays have less and less roots, and among the few who have roots, there are many undercover agents... Although Gin seems to appreciate the new cadre Uzo, to be honest, Rum thinks that Gin's vision is not very good - the trap set by Akai Shuichi "Rye Whiskey" to capture Gin was almost successful...
Thinking of the past event that exposed the identity of Shuichi Akai, a big undercover agent, Rum felt angry but also a little proud - although the test trap he set up that year failed to catch Shuichi Akai, it caught the stupid subordinates of the FBI, which allowed him to turn the tables and turn the FBI's plan to capture Gin into a scene where they hunted down Shuichi Akai... If there hadn't been an unidentified traitor messing around at that time, maybe they could have even captured Shuichi Akai on the spot.
As people get older, they tend to reminisce about the past.
As a nearly 60-year-old man, Rum inevitably picked up the habits of ordinary elderly people.
He was distracted for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly noticed that there was an extra person next to Uzo on the other side of the restaurant.
——A woman wearing a light pink suit, with long loose hair and a pair of squinty eyes.
The two seemed to be talking in low voices. Rum listened carefully, but he couldn't hear anything clearly due to the noisy hall.
In such a public place, I don't think they would talk about any confidential matters. It's probably just a passerby who came to ask for an autograph. After all, Uzo is a very popular detective. I heard that he is quite popular among women and elderly groups. It's normal for people to talk to him in public...
After Rum figured it out, he didn't deliberately go over to eavesdrop.
He looked away and continued his work as a chef.
…
The other side of the hall.
Just as Rum guessed - the woman in a suit next to Jiang Xia did recognize him as a famous detective and came to ask for his autograph as an ordinary customer.
The other side of Jiangxia.
Toru Amuro recalled the rumored methods of "Uzo" and listened for a while with a slight vigilance.
Of course, he didn't hear any suggestive words or see any suspicious movements.
In fact, Jiang Xia only gave brief responses throughout the entire conversation without expressing any opinions. Instead, the one who talked the most was the woman who came over to talk to him.
...No matter how you think about it, this seems to be just an ordinary conversation and has nothing to do with inducing murder.
...It shouldn't be a big problem.
After reaching this conclusion, Toru Amuro felt a little relieved.
…
Jiang Xia chatted with the woman for a while, and then a strange man came over.
This man seemed to be a colleague of the woman in the suit. He approached and urged, "Chengtian, hurry up, the dinner party is about to start."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man saw Jiang Xia standing next to Narita Mayu, and seemed to recognize that this was a detective, and his face changed slightly.
Narita Mayu glanced at him, frowned, then turned around and nodded goodbye to Jiang Xia politely.
Afterwards, she and her colleague who came to visit her walked towards a luxurious box.
…
"See if there's anything else you want to order."
Toru Amuro handed over a menu, interrupting Jiang Xia's sight of watching the two people leave.
Jiang Xia retracted his gaze, carefully looked at the menu and the chef next to him, and unceremoniously circled a few dishes, which happened to be the most expensive in the restaurant.
Although he was not very interested in cheating the organization's funds, the previous conflict with Gin told him that if he wanted to get ghosts and murderous aura without any effort, it would be best to keep in sync with the boss who was closest to him...
Although Toru Amuro is not good at attracting cases, he always seems to attract some strange people.
And those who are attracted always have some event constitution.
...If I'm not mistaken, there's someone in this restaurant who has a murderous aura about him.
Toru Amuro had no idea of the little thoughts behind Jiang Xia's actions.
He glanced at the menu Jiang Xia had ordered and nodded secretly at the idea of not caring about the organization's funding.
However, after taking a look at the total price and thinking about the rum that happened to be in the same store...
Although the second-in-command should not care about such a small amount of money, there are some people who are extremely wealthy but pay great attention to details.
Amuro Toru didn't know what the mysterious Rum's attitude was towards all this. So at this time, it was better to be cautious and not to be extravagant in front of them. After all, they were not in the box, and Rum might see the dishes on the table when he passed by the hall...
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro silently crossed out one or two expensive dishes from the dishes he ordered.
