"Human Horse Racing"

This sounds a bit like the "Horse Riding Battle" in the sports meeting that students must have in the spring and autumn of Japan.But it has a very different nature, although there are also countless cheering voices around.

It was exactly eight o'clock in the evening, and sunset happened at six o'clock.Before the last smear of red light was swallowed by the sky, the lights in the half-construction buildings were already lit up, concentrated on the open-air viewing platform outside the iron net and the five parallel [-] cm wide metal horizontal bars inside the iron net. .

Before seven o'clock, invited guests can prepare to enter.Guangjin Liulang and I only entered the arena at around 10:[-] and [-] minutes. The organizer regarded Guangjin Liulang as a prospective cadre of Hong Kong gangsters. He was so affectionate and even said, "Mr. Guangjin, you have deep qualifications. , it will be a matter of time to become a quasi-cadre level."

Hirotsu Yanagi took a step back expressionlessly, exposed me in front of the host, and said flatly: "This is Mr. Ayanokōji, a representative sent by our Yokohama Port Mafia."

This is the fifth time this month that I have been treated as Hirotsu Ryuunami's subordinate because of my young age.

I have nothing to worry about.

Just as Mori Ogai said, Hong Kong gangsters are also a kind of business. There are armed groups such as Chuya Nakahara and Akutagawa in front of them to deter hostile organizations. While ensuring the normal operation of Hong Kong gangsters, there will also be special meetings and banquets in charge of attending various streams The most social personnel are responsible for win over and trade, stabilize and expand the operation of Hong Kong and black.

The "Human Horse Race" held once a year in spring is an occasion for the underworld, political and economic circles of Tokyo and Yokohama to meet and fellowship.It used to be Osamu Dazai who participated, and now it falls on me.Hirotsu Yanagi is often in charge of Dazai Osamu's bodyguard position, so he is familiar with these procedures. Before entering the venue, he has given me the relevant information. It contains the major groups that I need to contact, and other people will post it. According to Feelings can be ignored.

"Yagiri Pharmaceuticals is the leader Mori said he wants to contact, right?"

I clicked on the information of "Yagiri Pharmaceutical".

In the previous two years, it was also the number one pharmaceutical company in Kanto.At that time, it had been cooperating with the government. After the contract expired, the president of Yagiri Pharmaceutical refused to continue to cooperate with the government. As a result, Yagiri Pharmaceutical's performance began to decline significantly, and it is now on the verge of bankruptcy.Mori Ogai's instruction is to acquire Tokyo's Yagiri Pharmaceutical, but there are several other groups that are eyeing Yagiri Pharmaceutical, the biggest competitor of which is the multinational group Karasuma Group, whose main business also includes "drugs". And the conglomerate "Nibro" with a history of [-] years in the United States.

"According to reliable sources, Yagiri Seitaro, the chairman of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, likes to collect human bodies. "Guangjin Liulang said, "Chief Mori said that if you need to do what you like, you can use the activity funds within 5000 million yuan at will. "

This matter was already on the agenda in November last year. For this reason, I was specially sent to Ikebukuro, where Yagiri Pharmaceutical’s headquarters is located, to negotiate with the local informant Orihara Rinya, and bought a product owned by the chairman’s family of Yagiri Pharmaceutical. Personal information - At present, there are only two family members at the core of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, the well-known chairman Yagiri Kiyotaro and his 25-year-old niece Yagiri Hae.

Among them, Yagiri Nami is also the secret chairman of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, and she owns as many shares and voice as her uncle.And this person's weakness is her 16-year-old brother Yagiri Seiji.In Orihara Rinya's words, Yagiri Hae is a crazy younger brother.

I thought about it, "I see."

I decided not to use my brain and just spend 5000 million on what I like.

……

It was eight o'clock sharp again.

I didn't meet any representatives from the so-called Yagiri Pharmaceuticals.But the "human-powered horse race" is already ready to begin.

Hirotsu Liulang bent down and listened to his ear, and asked, "Ayanokouji-kun, what are you going to do now? Continue to wait, or leave directly?" Mr. Hirotsu will respectfully call me "Mr. Ayanokouji" in front of people to support me, privately We still call each other according to when Osamu Dazai was around.

If the "protagonist" is not there, there is really no need to cheer.

I cast my eyes into the iron net, and saw a group of people whose eyes were blindfolded with black cloth strips were brought out from the starting point of the metal cross bridge.They were all wearing vests with number plates and were led to the starting point by the organizer's staff.

"The five numbers we bought just now refer to these people above?" I pointed to the people above the booth and said.

"Yes. There will be about five rounds of the competition. Fifteen people will participate in each batch. The fastest person to cross the 25-meter-long metal bridge will be the champion, and the top three will be determined. The bridge will become narrower and narrower when it reaches the end. It requires people's balance. Many people fell off the bridge when they were rushing to the finish line, or were caught up by the people behind and pushed directly off the bridge deck. Because the metal bridge is two floors above the ground , Although people will not die when they fall, they will suffer severe fractures.”

Guangjin Liulang has seen this kind of game many times, and he can explain the rules and key points of the game casually.

"Who are the people participating in the competition?"

"Because the prize money for this kind of competition is as high as several million yen, many people from the bottom of life or those who are in high debt will come to try their luck. Of course, there are also people who have been trafficked, and they will also be forced to participate."

"I see, it's similar to an underground boxing ring in the black market to entertain the audience."

Guangjin Liulang felt that this kind of competition was neither nutritious nor interested in it: "So, do you want to leave?"

"I want to leave, but a young man with black hair and green eyes has been staring at me since just now, as if he knew me."

I am curious about that young man, because I will not forget anyone who I have had a relationship with.

Guangjin Liulang followed my words and looked at the slender young man who was looking at me at the starting point for a moment. He was wearing a brown suit and pants. Compared with other people with thick waists and round arms or sloppy clothes, He is like a young master who has come out of nowhere and knows nothing about the world.

There is no need to think about it, the event that Guangjin said also included the abducted people, and the one in front of him is one of them.Although this person does not wear glasses now, he should have worn glasses before, because he has a little habit of holding his glasses with his fingers.

I thought not to cause trouble for myself. This person is weak, with thin arms and legs, and sooner or later he will fall to his death in this "human-powered horse race".No matter why he looks at me, he probably won't survive tonight anyway.

"Let's go."

I don't think it's necessary to stay any longer.

As soon as I stood up, the black-haired young man rushed to the edge of the iron fence and shouted in my direction: "Hey! Don't go! I mean you! Help me!! Take me back to Yokohama city!!!"

"..."

Why should I save a stranger who might be a threat to me?

Moreover, as a person asking for help, is his attitude too arrogant?

Therefore, my footsteps did not stop at all.

"Mr. Lingkoulu, could this be your friend before you lost your memory?" Guangjin Liulang suddenly realized, stopped and said, "It's just a 'horse', and it doesn't cost much to redeem it? How about it? "

I subconsciously glanced at Guangjin.

I didn't expect that my long-standing character design would still be remembered by others.

Because the other party was yelling directly at the Hong Kong gangsters, the organizer was afraid of offending us, so he dragged the young man away, and apologized to us: "Didn't you disturb Mr. Ayanokōji and Mr. Hirotsu?"

"It's okay." I shook my head, paused and asked about the organizer, and said, "Who was that person just now?"

"No. 5 of Group A, his registered name is "Edogawa Ranpo", he claims to be a detective, but he has no documents on him. "The organizer carefully observed my expression, as if afraid of catching my acquaintance by mistake.

This kind of human trafficking will confiscate or dispose of all the documents of the person at the beginning, and directly deal with them as "black households". Of course, he will have no documents at all.

"How much is that man?"

To be able to tell right away that we are from Yokohama, maybe there is still some skill, maybe it can be used?

"Hey, does Mr. Ayanokōji want to buy him?" the organizer said, "So it's 50 a person. We have a long-term cooperative relationship with Hong Kong and Black, so how about 30?"

"No, you guys still have 50 yuan, just find a way to force him to sign a contract by the way."

"Huh? What contract?"

The host looked at me suspiciously.

Thirty-ten minutes later, when the black-haired youth was brought to me by the staff of the organizer, he rubbed his wrists and yelled at the staff, but the staff did not say a word, and just walked along quietly. Go back the same way.

I stood in front of him and asked, "How do you know we are from Yokohama?"

The opponent was a little shorter than I thought, but he was still over 1.6 meters five.

"Isn't this something that can be seen at a glance?" The young man named Edogawa Ranpo didn't know how to be grateful, nor did he know how to be polite. "Don't ask me such silly things, okay?"

I said blankly: "Then do you know that the people next to me can stuff you into the sewer in a second?"

"...Aren't you Hong Kong gangsters?" Edogawa Ranpo finally became a little more honest, but after a few words, he said confidently, "It's not obvious to you, but the black wrist with the waist next to you The gun was not produced by the Japanese munitions factory itself, but American Fire, which is obviously a smuggled gun..."

Before he finished speaking, I interrupted him directly and said, "Are you not short-sighted?"

We were at least 20 meters away from where he was, did he have such good eyesight or did he infer it based on other things?

However, Edogawa Ranpo didn't listen to me at all, and hurried to rush in again. Seeing Hirotsu blocking him, he said in a panic: "Oh, bad! The glasses that the president gave me were taken away by them and I haven't returned them yet." return."

I:"……"

It took about 20 more minutes, and this Edogawa Ranpo finally calmed down, adjusted his glasses contentedly, and said to me: "Can you take me to eat something?"

Hirotsu Liulang glanced at me asking for advice.

"Ah."

I agreed.

Get in the car, take him to finish the meal, it's almost past 09:30 in the evening.

"Since you said that you know everything, why are you talking about why I have been with you for so long?" I sat across the dining table and looked at Edogawa Ranpo.

"It's nothing more than that when I finally left, they forced me to sign a contract, which is probably a usury contract with compound interest calculated in minutes." Edogawa Ranbu hugged his stomach and said calmly, "So, From now until now, I probably owe you a lot of money, right?"

Guangjin Liulang didn't know about this at all, and looked at me in surprise.

"Then you are not in a hurry?"

"Because I know what it is at a glance. I don't have any money to pay anyway, so it doesn't matter how much I owe, doesn't it? Why don't you just relax!" Edogawa Ranpo in front of him was very open-minded, and he was not afraid of my troubles , with a contented expression. "And you must ask me for help, and I will definitely not have to pay back the money."

"Who said I wanted to ask you for help. If you don't have money, your president should have money, right? I'll ask your president for it."

"...Why are you so despicable?!" Edogawa became anxious all of a sudden, seeing me get up, he also stood up hurriedly to block my going, "How could it involve other people's family? long?"

"Then be honest with me and sit down for me first." I said in a low voice.

Edogawa Ranpo let out a "woo" in his throat, and sat on the chair unwillingly.
