Chapter 790 Akai Shuichi: Uzo and Gin are mortal enemies. Please give me a monthly ticket (づど)
"Well, it may sound exaggerated. In fact, I was also skeptical about this method at the beginning."
After saying this, Subaru Okiya realized that he did not appear to be calm enough - and as an academic, he felt that he should not simply and crudely judge the nature of a matter based on hearsay.
but……
"Then something happened." Subaru Okiya began to provide evidence for "Usa really can write murder scripts":
"——This time, during Yoshikazu Watanuki's mission, we encountered a witness while solving the case.
"On the night of the incident, the witness got drunk at a pub to celebrate winning the lottery. On his way home, he took a shortcut and passed by Watanuki's family and the burial site, and happened to hear the noise of Watanuki burying the body.
"Later, when the deceased's brother went to investigate, he happened to find this witness. The witness insisted that he heard Watanuki Yoshikazu digging a hole in his yard that night - the witness said that he was passing by the alley, lit a cigarette, looked to the right, and the sound was there.
"But the actual situation was that there was a strong east wind that night, and when the witness lit a cigarette, he instinctively turned his back to the wind in order to block the oncoming wind. So the place where the sound he heard came from was not Watanuki's family, but the construction site next door - the testimony he gave was exactly the opposite."
Akai Shuichi heard this and nodded, understanding what Okiya Subaru wanted to express:
“If there hadn’t been this ‘witness,’ the deceased’s brother or the police might have stepped up their search around the area instead of focusing on Watanuki’s yard.
“In other words, the existence of this unexpected factor indirectly led to Watanuki Yoshiichi not being able to go to prison on time, so Wu Zuo casually added a task of ‘promoting the process of solving the case’ - and if Wu Zuo continued to pay attention to this matter, or happened to be near the burial site that night, it would not be difficult for him to notice this witness who swaggered by and would not miss it.
"It's a pity that I can't contact Watanuki Giichi right now... I'm curious if he noticed anything unusual in these things. If even he himself didn't realize that he was being manipulated, then this is simply like a script written by God, unbelievable."
As Akai Shuichi spoke, his voice gradually became lower and he began to think silently.
“…” I haven’t seen him for two years, and there are unexpectedly more talents of this type in the organization.
If Usa is really like the rumors and what Subaru Okiya described, then there will be more powerful enemies...
By the way, Okiya Subaru seemed to have said just now that Usa had plotted against the cadres, and it sounded like he had not been punished for it. In Akai Shuichi's impression, although the organization was unambiguous in silencing people, they did not allow cadres to engage in physical private fights unless it involved issues of principle.
...Perhaps the cadres killed by Wuzo were the ones that the higher-ups wanted to eliminate.
But according to another rumor, Wuzo was fighting fiercely with a certain cadre, and the outcome had not yet been decided... This was a bit strange.
Shuichi Akai thought that if that "another cadre" was someone the organization wanted to eliminate, then he would not have been able to survive in the organization for so long.
But if the organization had no intention of eliminating him, why was Uzo not forcibly stopped from doing so...
After thinking for a while, several possibilities gradually emerged in Shuichi Akai's mind.
One is that the organization did not have enough evidence to prove that Uzo was killing his colleagues, and the person who was targeted was on guard. In the end, the two sides were evenly matched and neither could kill the other for a while, so the top leaders were too lazy to deal with these troubles and let them continue fighting.
...Speaking of this ability that can rival Usa, combined with Usa's criticism of "mob"-style killings, Akai Shuichi suddenly thought: Could it be that this cadre who has been fighting with Usa privately until now and is still alive is Gin?
“……”We cannot rule out this possibility.
And this also happens to explain why the rumors spread - although Gin is taciturn most of the time, Vodka next to him is not so talkative.
If Uzo and Gin were fighting so fiercely, it would be hard for Vodka to not say something. After all, it seems that Uzo is not an ordinary person, and it is not shameful for Gin to be his enemy and not be at a disadvantage. It is very reasonable for Vodka to unintentionally promote him.
Another possibility is that Wu Zuo's ability is so outstanding that even though he couldn't help but reach out to the cadres, the top leaders didn't want to deal with him directly without evidence... This ability to hide behind the scenes and kill people secretly is indeed in line with the concept that the organization has always advocated. For them, such a "Wu Zuo" is worth cultivating.
In particular, Akai Shuichi remembered...
He turned to Okiya Subaru, "I remember you used the term 'the new generation of the organization' when you mentioned Usa earlier... Usa is young? What are the characteristics of his appearance?"
Shuichi Akai didn't ask Subaru Okiya for the photo.
——Anyone who can write a crime script and actually make it happen in reality must be very good at understanding people's hearts and have extremely keen observation skills.
In this case, if Okiya Subaru dared to secretly take photos of his new boss whom he had just met... I'm afraid that today, I should not come to Okiya Subaru's apartment, but to his cemetery. No, in this case, there is no chance to bury him in the cemetery. I have to search the incinerators of the nearby abandoned factories to have a chance to see him...
Okiya Subaru didn't know what Akai Shuichi was thinking, but he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He suspected that this was because the two people were talking about Uzo, and that this brought back some not-so-nice memories for him, and he couldn't help but look out the window and in the direction of the corridor.
After confirming that no one had broken into the room on either side, he felt a little relieved.
Okiya Subaru really didn't dare to take a secret photo of Usa, and he never even had the idea.
So now, facing Akai Shuichi's question, he had to do his best to describe Usa's appearance:
"He looks younger than me, in his early twenties. He dresses like most people in the organization, all in black, and wears sunglasses... If there's anything distinctive about him, it's probably his curly hair. His appearance and temperament aren't hard to remember, but I don't have any impression of him, so I must have never seen him before."
Akai Shuichi nodded thoughtfully.
After hearing the last part, Uzo's "youth" and "sharpness" as well as the person who finally solved the case, he suddenly remembered something.
He asked carefully, "I heard that this case was solved by that famous high school detective. Did he behave in any unusual way during this case? Also, did he appear at the same time as Uzo?"
