Chapter 518 Rum: Uzo is too motivated
The waiter led Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru to their seats, which were right by the window in the hall.
The dishes were served quickly and tasted much better than the snacks in the car.
Jiang Xia finished his meal and dessert, and then he lay down comfortably on his seat to digest the food - besides hunting ghosts, the biggest advantage of traveling with Amuro Toru is that you don't have to worry about your boss being too frugal. On the contrary, Bourbon always chooses the best food and accommodation, and is often very tasteful, so even ghost hunters can benefit from it.
I don't know how Toru Amuro discovered this restaurant with outstanding taste. Maybe he worked here before? After all, Rum came here to work... Speaking of this, Jiang Xia was actually a little curious about the purpose of Rum coming here to work. It couldn't be that he really came here for fun.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a faint sound of clapping from the box next to me.
——It seems like before someone speaks, they use this action to remind everyone to pay attention.
The soundproofing in this hotel is average... Opposite Jiang Xia, this thought flashed through Toru Amuro's mind.
Seeing Jiang Xia turn his head to look towards the box, he instinctively glanced in that direction, but quickly retracted his attention and continued to scoop the dessert in front of him.
…
At the same time, in the box that was being watched by two people.
At the luxurious round table, the president of Kreno Network Company, Wu Yejiro, stood up and cleared his throat:
"Today's farewell party was held rather suddenly. Anyway, let me first thank everyone for their hard work over the years. This is also the reason why our company is thriving. I'm sorry to sell the company at this time. Well, I'm actually very sad, but this is also for everyone's good. Don't blame me, hahaha. In fact, with your abilities, even if you go somewhere else, you will be able to find a suitable position quickly."
“…”
“…”
“…”
Several key members sitting around him stared at him and fell silent.
——The president never told them about such a big thing as selling the company. The news leaked out after the matter was finalized. This farewell party was full of resentment.
The woman who had just spoken to Jiang Xia - the manager of Kreno Network Company - looked around, saw everyone glaring at the president, and smiled as she tried to smooth things over: "He probably didn't mean to not tell us, he just didn't know how to start the conversation. Although the president is not good at explaining, he is actually a very good person."
The other two men at the table scoffed at this explanation.
The publicity officer closest to President Wu Ye, Junnosuke Toda, was relatively calm.
He stood up calmly, took out a large bouquet of flowers from beside his seat, and handed it to President Wu Ye:
"Although the separation came very suddenly, the time I spent in the company was indeed a wonderful experience. This bouquet of flowers is a token of our mutual appreciation. Please accept it."
President Wu Ye looked down at the bouquet of flowers that was half a person's height, and the photo of the five of them placed among the flowers, and felt moved.
He took the bouquet and sighed: "We have encountered many twists and turns over the years. Thanks to you, the company has grown to its current size. What a pity...?"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then his breathing became difficult, his chest suddenly felt stuffy, and the smile on his face froze.
Two seconds later, the president's lips trembled, he closed his eyes, fell to the ground, and gradually stopped moving.
"……?"
Several employees approached him anxiously, feeling his breath, and then turned pale. Half a second later...
"ah--!!!"
…
On the other side of the wall, Amuro Toru, who had just finished his meal and was wiping his mouth elegantly with a napkin, said: “…?”
Jiang Xia was startled for a moment when he heard the shout, then he stood up anxiously like a serious detective.
He was about to rush towards the source of the shouting, but at this moment, Toru Amuro suddenly came around in front of him and blocked his way.
At the same time, Amuro Toru turned around and whispered to him, "Be more restrained this time."
Jiang Xia: “!”
He was slightly startled. This was what Gin always said to "Uzo" - to tell Uzo not to kill innocent citizens on the road, so as not to attract unnecessary attention...
At this moment, this sentence suddenly appeared in Amuro Toru's mouth. Jiang Xia's first reaction was that he had been exposed without knowing it and his boss was so scary; his second reaction was to suspect that Gin secretly possessed his boss for unknown reasons...
But soon, he reacted rationally and realized that what Toru Amuro meant by "restraint" was not about the shark man, but about solving the case - asking him not to find the murderer as quickly as he did most of the time.
Jiang Xia thought of the Rum he had just met and vaguely understood.
But he still looked confused and nodded reluctantly.
Seeing this, Toru Amuro made way for the box.
Although according to Jiang Xia's current speed of fame, it is only a matter of time before the top leaders of the organization notice him, but if possible, it is best to delay this time as much as possible.
Moreover, this reminder to "be more restrained" will not expose the position of his own undercover agent - if Jiang Xia is Uzo, then this sentence can be interpreted as asking Jiang Xia not to steal Rum's limelight, so as to prevent Rum from having other arrangements and having his plans interrupted by them later.
Being blocked by Toru Amuro, the two of them walked towards the box door a little slower than before.
At this time, there was already a small group of people watching.
Jiang Xia persuaded the onlookers to leave, and then slowly began the usual process of a detective encountering a homicide case - checking the situation, calling the police and an ambulance, and clearing the scene.
…
Restaurant kitchen.
Rum hears the commotion and comes out to investigate.
Then he saw the box he was paying attention to, and Uzo who he was paying attention to.
——I stopped a passing waiter and asked him, and found out that someone had suddenly died in that private room just now. The deceased was the president of an Internet company.
Rum: “…”
He glanced at the other people in the box.
In addition to the deceased, there were four people, three men and one woman, who participated in the company's "farewell party".
Among them, there were two people who had just had contact with Uzo.
——While ordering food, the woman chatted with Uzo for quite some time.
In addition, a man briefly encounters Uzo as he appears to tell her to leave, and vaguely shows emotions similar to cringing.
Rum looked at the two men carefully, frowned slightly, and his mind was racing.
...Among the few rumors about Uzo in the organization, Uzo has always been good at luring people into killing without making any noise, and he can even plant fatal hints in people in just a short contact - these processes were described by Vodka as miraculous.
When he first heard these rumors, Rum thought that this was just another rumor from that stupid big guy. Or maybe Uzo just happened to have a physique that was prone to incidents, so he often encountered cases.
But later, as Wuzo's mission files increased, and the assassination list sent to Wuzo, one person after another died accurately...
