Chapter 703: Strange Subordinates Are About to Increase
Jiang Xia's voice came from the back row, with a hint of boasting:
"Next to the money is the 'weapon' I mentioned last time that I wanted to show you - how about it, it's not bad, isn't it?"
Gin was silent for a moment and put down the telescope. He stared at the figure in the French window and slowly wiped the gun: "Did you tell him we are here?"
"No. I wanted you to go to the street to watch, but Vodka drove the car onto the bridge." Although Jiang Xia didn't have a telescope and didn't look at Matsuda Jinpei in the coffee shop in the distance, he also saw the man in black turning his head.
Thinking that this fake Wu Zuo would be himself most of the time in the future, Jiang Xia modestly praised him a few times: "He has been on the battlefield before, so he is quite alert. But I didn't expect that he could detect someone spying on him from such a distance - it's more useful than I expected before."
As he said that, he turned to Gin and said, "Before, you asked me to hide my identity and not let people know that Jiang Xia is Uzo. I think this suggestion is very good, so I found this substitute.
“In the future, any mission that requires Uzo to cooperate with his teammates can be assigned to him. This way, even if someone leaks the information, the only way to trace it back to him is to him. Look, this head-to-toe black outfit is in line with the philosophy of our organization.”
Vodka: "..." Who told you that the organization's philosophy is black... However, now that I think about it, the man in the cafe does look like a member of the organization at first glance. Did Wuzo dress him up like this on purpose?
Jiang Xia said as he looked at Gin in the front row.
I had thought that this bad-tempered boss would immediately dispatch a sniper to investigate the situation carefully, or kill his handsome puppet on the spot.
But it didn’t.
——Gin’s murderous aura did increase, but surprisingly, his reaction was still relatively calm.
Gin continued to clean his gun slowly, like a general carefully cleaning a blade before going into battle, as if ready to chop off someone's head at any time:
"Since he brought the money here today, it means that you had already used him as a subordinate before reporting to the organization. Only a few people know Wu Zuo's true identity, even among the cadres. How could you easily reveal it to an unknown outsider?"
"Don't think of him as a human being, just as a tool of loyalty."
Jiang Xia listed the importance of "having a tool person" and added a little personal opinion:
"A good blade will never scratch its owner. Not only did you not give me a sniper rifle and hand grenades, you didn't even give me a gun permit... You have to let me find something to protect myself. Famous detectives are very hateful. If I really encounter a vicious criminal, it will be too late to contact you for assassination.
"Having a shadow by my side can provide better protection - I'm alone among the police and strange criminals, I don't see the organization normally, and I don't have any powerful weapons. It's not easy to survive until now."
"……?"
As he spoke, images of people emerged in Gin's mind - gangsters who occasionally succeeded in kidnapping or holding Uzo hostage, but always turned ragged once they were out of the police's sight.
However, when he looked up at the back seat through the rearview mirror, he saw Uzo huddled in the shadows. He looked serious and sincere, as if he had really been struggling to survive at the hands of the criminals for a long time.
Vodka thought of more images than Gin. He tilted his head slightly, wanting to let out a sneer from his nose to show "I don't believe you"... But in the end he did not say anything. He just turned his head and silently looked at the moon outside the window.
Gin didn't sneer this time.
Because he found that Uzo's ideas coincided with his own.
——A few days ago, Gin just selected a few people from among the members of the organization and planned to assign them to "Uzo" for use.
This was his strategy after careful consideration.
It's not easy to find a subordinate with potential, and he must not be poached by Rum in the blink of an eye - Rum, the one-eyed second-in-command of the organization, has a hobby of collecting all kinds of special talents. Gin has heard colleagues complain about "the good seedlings under his subordinates being snatched away by Rum" before. At that time, Gin didn't care, because he thought Rum probably had no interest in collecting vodka... But it's different now. Useful talents are in short supply everywhere, and this is not only a matter of practicality, it's also about face.
After realizing the risks in this regard, Gin examined the current situation rationally.
Then he realized that judging from Uzo's actual situation, the biggest flaw in the "Rum poaching" incident was actually the identity of "Jiang Xia", a peripheral member.
——After all, Jiang Xia works in Bourbon’s detective agency, and Bourbon is Rum’s man.
In this way, Rum first instructs Bourbon to play dumb and introduce "subordinates of subordinates" as official members, and then erase the personnel relationship on the "Uzo" side on the grounds that "it is easy to be distracted running around"... Rum is definitely capable of such shameless and shameless behavior, and Gin has no doubt about the other party's integrity and character.
Therefore, for the sake of hard-won talents and for efficient and painless assassinations in the future, Gin picked a few peripheral members and planned to classify them as Uzo's direct subordinates, and at the same time mix "Jiang Xia" into them.
As a result, when Bourbon proposed to transfer personnel to "Jiangxia", the department in charge of the files of peripheral members would reject it in the name of "job conflict". In this case, Rum and Bourbon could no longer play dumb.
Gin thought of the scene where those cunning intelligence agents hit a wall, and smiled a little with a hint of pleasure: In this way, Wuzo is on his side, and Jiangxia is on Wuzo's side. Whether in name or in reality, Jiangxia and Wuzo are all under his command... Rum and Bourbon can't get involved.
Of course, all changes have their pros and cons. By doing this, within a short period of time, Jiang Xia's silent file may be noticed by someone with a keen eye.
However, Gin believes in the strictness of the organization - even the peripheral members have strict confidentiality procedures and are not easily exposed. The peripheral members already have various jobs, and in the eyes of the citizens and even most police officers, the things they do in an organized style are just occasional crimes.
Besides, after Jiang Xia became a detective, he had never done anything that could lead to a conviction... at least not on the surface.
Even going back further, Jiang Xia rarely received missions such as "attacks" and "assassinations", and never left any evidence.
Even if the information that "Jiang Xia is an outer member of the organization" was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department, those pigs would probably just think that it was a prank by some people who hated detectives.
Jiang Xia had indeed been a peripheral member for a long period of time, and this fact was difficult to completely erase.
However, to be on the safe side, after coming up with the plan of "sending Jiang Xia to Uzo", Gin also took some supporting measures to prevent him from being dragged down by his status as an outsider member in the future.
