Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

After returning to the back seat from the driver's seat, Karasuma Sonobu turned off the airplane mode on his phone, and then notified his confidants via email that Bourbon had become a member of the equipment team.

McCarron and others had long known about their team leader's intention to recruit Bourbon. Now that they saw that he finally got what he wanted and dug out the trump card of the intelligence team from Rum, they naturally congratulated them one after another.

The only thing he wasn't happy about was Ring. He didn't expect that his master would move so quickly. The front foot told him not to force him to form a partnership with Macallan, and asked him to go play with Diogia. Bourbon dug in.

This clearly meant that he wanted them to form a partnership and let Bourbon keep an eye on him.

Thinking of Bourbon who had repeatedly laughed at and teased him, Hibiki felt as if a heavy stone was stuck in his heart.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Karasuma's house.

It was already approaching evening, and the afterglow of dusk shone on Karasuma Sonobu's body, dragging out a long reflection.

The head maid was waiting at the door. She looked at Karasuma Sonobu who had returned safely and whispered:

"The master of the house is waiting for you in the quiet room."

Quiet room?

Karasuma Sonobu was a little confused, but then he seemed to think of something. After giving instructions to the head maid, he walked to the door of the quiet room.

Taking off his shoes, his feet wearing only a layer of white socks stepped on the cold floor. Karasuma Sonobu stared at Karasuma, who was sitting on the gray-blue cloth seat with his back to him, as if he was meditating with his eyes closed. Maru Renya, then quietly closed the shoji door behind him.

In the quiet room, except Karasuma Renye and Karasuma Sonobu, there was no third person.

Karasuma's butler, who was usually inseparable from Karasuma Renye, was nowhere to be seen at the moment.

After closing the door, Karasuma Sonobu knelt down three steps away from Karasuma Renye. However, unlike Karasuma Renye, there was no soft seat fabric under his legs, only cold hard wood. floor.

Karasuma Renye heard the movement behind her, but she did not turn around and looked back, but maintained a sitting posture.

He looked at the long scroll with the word "meditation" hanging on the wall in front of him, and suddenly asked:

"You pulled Rum from the second-in-command position, do you want to replace him?"

Karasuma Sonobu didn't show any surprise or fear when he heard this. Unfavorable events related to Rum broke out one after another this time. Karasuma Renye naturally guessed that someone must have tampered with it.

And the person Rum had the deepest enmity with in the organization was his whiskey.

In this regard, Karasuma Sonobu did not deny that he had a hand in it, but he was not interested in the position of second-in-command.

"In the final analysis of this incident, it was Rum who had other thoughts and did something wrong.

I just wanted the truth of the matter to be discovered earlier.

As for the position of second in command, I just hope that the person sitting on it is not Rum. The rest is naturally decided by you. "

Renye Karasuma heard the true meaning of Karasuma Sonobu's words. In fact, he already knew the entire process of the Sky Shopping Plaza explosion on the day.

Perhaps Karasuma Sonobu's appearance in the Sky Shopping Plaza that day was an accident. However, after knowing that the kidnappers were the remnants of the Three Dragons Club, Karasuma Sonobu secretly sent a message to Gin, although he did not do anything on the surface.

This is also the reason why Gin suddenly issued an urgent mission to Scotland to kill Koizumi Takaaki.

The Sanlong Club was previously jointly annihilated by the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department and the STA in a raid. However, it was precisely because of the suddenness of the attack that the whereabouts of a batch of new drugs worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the Sanlong Club were quietly hidden.

The whereabouts of this batch of drugs are very important to Rum, because he is the buyer behind this batch of drugs, and what he really values ​​​​is the top-secret information hidden in this batch of drugs.

A top-secret information containing the detailed address of the organization's fourth laboratory and the list of relevant chief researchers.

But the scientific research group is the top-secret core department of the organization. Champagne has always been responsible for the management and control. In particular, the addresses of the major main laboratories and the list of relevant researchers are the top secrets.

Therefore, even Rum, who is the second-in-command of the organization, is not qualified to know.

And if he wants to get this list, he can only get it secretly through other means.

In order not to attract attention, Rum asked the person who stole the information to mix two USB flash drives with top-secret information into the batch of new drugs transported by the Three Dragons.

But no one expected that the neon police would launch a full-scale raid on the Three Dragons Society, which caught Rum by surprise.

The most important thing is that that batch of goods also disappeared without a trace along with the destruction of the Three Dragons Association.

The only person who knew the whereabouts of the goods was Koizumi Takao, the second-in-command of the Sanryu Club who was imprisoned.

But the police were also very concerned about the whereabouts of the drugs, so even if Koizumi Takashi was imprisoned, they would keep a close eye on him.

This also led to Rum's inability to use internal undercover agents to get people out quietly, or to ask Koizumi Takao about the whereabouts of the batch of drugs.

As a result, Koizumijiang and his daughter came into Rum's sight.

Rum provided funds, weapons, professional laboratories and various rare and valuable experimental materials to Koizumijiang and his daughter, as well as a detailed revenge strategy.

The purpose was to get Koizumi Takashi out of prison without exposing himself, and then learn from him the whereabouts of the batch of drugs.

Although Karasuma Sonobu didn't know this at the time, after seeing that this group of people had Rum's support, Karasuma Sonobu decisively asked Gin to send someone to kill Koizumi Takao.

Rum, who had no profit and couldn't afford to go early, would spend so much energy to help Xiaoquanjiang and his daughter, so naturally he had ulterior motives.

Koizumi's father and daughter, and even Koizumi Takao, knew that the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications had signed the execution order, and naturally the news came from Rum.

Therefore, what Rum was plotting was probably with the brothers Koizumi Takao and Fujita. After a little thought, Karasuma Sonobu ruled out the Fujita brothers.

When he was in the Sky Shopping Plaza, in the eyes of Koizumi and his daughter, Karasuma Sonobu was just a helpless young chaebol. Even with a mobile phone, he couldn't escape, so he didn't do anything at that time. Take away his mobile phone.

Therefore, after Koizumi and his daughter made a request to the police, Karasuma Sonobu made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and then used his mobile phone to send an email to Gin, asking him to send a sniper to kill Koizumi Takaaki.

Then, after Koizumi Takashi's death, Koizumi Hezi's strange behavior confirmed to him that Koizumi Hezi knew what Rum wanted to get from Koizumi Takashi.

Therefore, in order to learn the secret that Rum wanted from Koizumi Hezi, and at the same time not to let Koizumi Hezi fall into the hands of the police soberly, Karasuma Sonobu allowed Koizumi Hezi to attack Haibara Ai, and then watched Akai Shuichi with cold eyes. A surprise attack from heaven.

Finally, the existence of the photosensitive bomb was revealed.

Then, the unconscious Xiaoquan Hezi was sent to the hospital by the police and was diagnosed as a vegetative state.

Of course, at this moment, Xiaoquan Hezi must have changed his appearance and become a member of the organization.

In fact, Karasuma Renya really thought about letting Karasuma Sonobu sit in the second-in-command position for a moment.

However, even with the restraint of the ban, Karasuma Renye still could not completely relax, otherwise he would not have specifically ordered people to inject Karasuma Sonobu with control drugs, and even asked the fourth laboratory to develop new products with stronger effects.

Although Karasuma Sonobu did play some tricks in it this time, compared to rum and champagne, this calculation was still within the tolerance of Karasuma Renye.

After all, Karasuma Sonobu has a vindictive nature, so it would be abnormal not to intervene. As Karasuma Sonobu said before, this time, it was the rum and champagne that had the problem, and no one else is to blame.

Although Karasuma Sonobu used this to pick out Rum's involvement in the scientific research team and added some things during Gin's investigation, this was also based on Rum's own mistakes.

Therefore, Karasuma Renye only mentioned it a few words and then ignored this topic.

Then, Karasuma Renye stood up and turned around. He looked at Karasuma Sonobu, who was kneeling upright with his head bowed respectfully, and mentioned another thing:

"I heard that you met your brother today?"

Karasuma Sonobu's eyes flashed, and then he replied:

"I did meet an old friend today, but he is not my brother."

"Kenjiro Sanada was transferred to the Metropolitan Police this time. It was my intention. Do you understand?"

Karasuma Renye said.

"Yes, I won't kill him."

Karasuma Sonobu understood what Karasuma Renye meant, so he simply agreed.

Killing him would only give him an advantage.

Seeing that Karasuma Sonobu agreed without hesitation, Karasuma Renye believed it. Then, Karasuma Renye unexpectedly said something that had nothing to do with the organization:

"I will leave Neon tonight. Some of the project information and financial statements of the Karasuma Consortium will be delivered here tomorrow morning. You should familiarize yourself with them first."

Karasuma Sonobu raised his head in surprise. What do you mean? Are you really planning to make him the de facto heir of the Karasuma Consortium?

Renye Karasuma did not explain much about this, but only explained that professionals from the Karasuma Consortium would be coming to help him get familiar with the related businesses of the Karasuma Consortium more quickly.

Karasuma Sonobu was extremely disgusted by the caring explanation from his father to his son. However, after putting away his previous surprise, he returned to his expressionless state. He responded softly to Karasuma Renya's words:

"Yes, father."

After explaining, Karasuma Renye asked Karasuma Sonobu to stand up, and the two of them walked to the restaurant one after another and had the last dinner before leaving.

Since Renye Karasuma also stayed to dine, the chef at Karasuma House tried his best to make tonight's dinner extra sumptuous. Plates and lamps filled with various delicacies filled the entire dining table.

Karasuma's butler, whom Karasuma Sonobu had not seen beside Karasuma Renye before, quietly appeared at the dining table.

He first whispered something into Karasuma Renye's ear. After Karasuma Renye nodded slightly, he reached out and called the head maid:

"Master, after the head of the family and I leave Neon, my daughter Ai Zhizi will become your personal housekeeper. At the same time, she will also accompany you to familiarize yourself with and gradually take over everything within the consortium."

This was the first time that Karasuma's butler introduced the identity of the head maid in front of Karasuma Sonobu.

It was also the first time that her father recognized her identity and was entrusted with an important task. Kurihara Aieko bowed seriously, and then stood behind Karasuma Sonobu just like her father stood behind the head of the family.

Karasuma Sonobu was really curious at this moment. Looking at this posture, Karasuma Renye really planned to train himself to be the heir of the Karasuma Consortium.

but,

"Take over everything?"

Does it only refer to the clear business of the Karasuma Consortium, or does it include those involving gray and black areas?

Karasuma Sonobu asked cryptically.

Karasuma Renye nodded slightly and warned him to do it seriously and not to lose to the heirs of Ooka and Suzuki.

Karasuma Aoi is convinced. It seems that it is not just rum and champagne that are affected this time. Karasuma Renye will also drag Karasuma's housekeeper's daughter who lives in the light into the water.

Although it was not a contact with an organization, just some of the dark side businesses involved in the Karasuma Consortium were enough to subvert some of her previous perceptions.

However, since it is a matter of financial affairs, does it seem that it is planned to be cultivated to check and balance Brandy?

Karasuma Sonobu picked up the chopsticks while guessing.

The dinner seemed to be a pleasant one, and after the dinner, Karasuma Renye left the Karasuma residence with the Karasuma housekeeper.

Standing by the door and watching Karasuma Renye leave until even the taillights of the car were no longer visible, Karasuma Sonobu threw the camphor wood box he had just received from Karasuma's housekeeper to Kurihara Aieko next to him.

Then he returned to the house briskly, took out his cell phone and called Gin to ask about Rum's current situation.

When he learned that Rum was being carried away, Karasuma Sonobu asked about the current status of the champagne.

"Unconscious in a solitary cell."

"Tsk, it's so miserable."

Karasuma Sonobu sighed casually, and the hypocrisy in his tone made Gin snort coldly:

"The hypocrisy is disgusting."

"Hypocritical? When you die one day, I will truly miss you."

Karasuma Sonobu does not deny this.

Gin was not surprised at all when he heard Karasuma Sonobu's curse-like words.

Although on the surface, his relationship with Karasuma Sonobu seemed closer than others, Gin knew very well that in Whiskey's eyes, he, rum, champagne, and brandy were all in the range of disgust. The only difference is the size of the disgust value.

Now if there is an opportunity for him to be punished as heavily as champagne and rum, he will definitely not miss the whiskey.

And he will spare no effort to promote this, and in the end he will feel the same schadenfreude.

"The whereabouts of the batch of new drugs that Rum wanted to get from Koizumi Takao were found, but there was no USB flash drive containing laboratory data in it."

After a brief chat, Gin brought the topic back to the topic.

Hearing this, Karasuma Sonobu asked:

"Are you sure no one has touched that batch of goods?"

"It's impossible to be sure. After all, it's been several years. Although the location is correct, I'm not sure that no one has entered or left."

Before Xiaoquan Hezi was sent to the scientific research team, she passed by Gin, although she didn't know that what Rum actually wanted was the top-secret information hidden in the batch of new drugs.

But Gin knew that it was definitely not just drugs that could make Rum obsessed with him for several years and even spend a lot of money to design weapons.

So, after getting the whereabouts of the batch of new drugs that Rum wanted from Koizumi Hezi, in order not to attract Rum's attention, Gin deployed a group of non-Tokyo action team members to secretly go to Kanagawa to find the batch of drugs. 's whereabouts.

It's just that it was too long ago, and all traces have been buried over time. In addition to getting a large number of new drugs, the members of the action team did not find anything else.

"Hey, this is troublesome. I don't know what important information it is. If it falls into the hands of people outside the organization, it will be a headache."

After all, finding a needle in a haystack is a thing that can drive people crazy.

Karasuma Sonobu's strange worries made Gin realize the top level of ridicule towards Rum.

Even if the thing is lost, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the blame will undoubtedly be firmly placed on Rum's head.

You can only make it up if you don't know clearly. Unless Rum himself can find evidence to prove that the information he stole is not the organization's core experimental group information, otherwise, this thorn will pierce deeply into Karasuma Renye's throat and make him It's been like a lump in my throat my whole life.

I want to sit back in the second-in-command position, huh, dreaming.
