threesome

"It's surprising how things turned out like this."

“…………”

"I didn't expect you to do such a bold thing."

“…………”

"It's very refreshing to do this once in a while, but the bad thing is that you can't smoke. Excuse me, can you help me?"

"...Tsuji, can't you be quiet?"

Kamitsu finished speaking with a frown, but Tsuji smiled back.

There are no windows in the dimly lit spacious space, just a dying fluorescent light that chirps like a dying cicada and looks like it will be completely extinguished in a few hours.The floor, walls, and ceiling are all made of cement, and there are cracks everywhere, the steel bars inside are exposed, and water is still leaking in some places, making the cement dark.

This was the basement of an old building—Tsuji had been blindfolded until he arrived, it was only his guess, but it shouldn't be wrong.There is no one in the abandoned building that is about to be demolished, and it is also a basement, no one can hear it no matter how loud it is, it is suitable for confinement.

"Please, the cigarettes are in my pocket."

"Do you have a sense of crisis, okay? You are being kidnapped and tied up, and you might die."

"It's too bad, so I have to smoke a cigarette while I'm alive."

After Tsuji finished talking nonchalantly, Kamitsu sighed and bent down, picked up a cigarette and put it in Tsuji's mouth.Tsuji sat on a chair in the basement with his hands tied behind his back.There are rollers under the chair, which is a very common office chair.

Kamili lit a fire for Tsuji, and Tsuji said "thank you" with a cigarette in his mouth.He was kidnapped in a chaotic scene, with his hair and high-end suit messed up, but he was not injured too much.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, then watched the hazy white smoke gradually spread.

Tsuji was targeted while placing an order.

Although he has rich fighting experience, there are three people on the other side, and he has nothing to do.He was escorted into the car by those three people and brought to this basement, where he met Shenli.The three of them may have left one after another to guard against the wind, and now there are only two of them left in the room.

"You've always been a nuisance."

Kamitsu leaned against the wall next to Tsuji and said to him:

"You have fierce eyes, but you are a bit clever. Brother He Hong loves you so much, and you are always full of women, and all the younger brothers are like your die-hard fans..."

"'No, no, there isn't one'...Should I be humble like that?"

"Say it will only make you more angry."

"Okay. But I can't do anything about it. Being popular is not voluntary."

Tsuji found it difficult to talk while smoking, so he spit the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

“…………”

"But Mr. Kanari, you are unpopular, you should have caused it yourself? Ah, I am not saying that there is something wrong with your looks. Although you are not manly, you are good-looking. The point is money, and women like money. A man who wants money, but no one wants it. If you think about money all day long, your face will become more and more wretched."

"...Do you want to be killed?"

"Are you going to kill me?"

"Let's talk about it when Tanaka comes."

"It's so scary, I'm about to pee my pants."

Tsuji chuckled twice and kicked the ground lightly.The chair slid backwards, hitting the wall and coming to a stop.

"Sir, can I ask you a question?"

"no."

"Why are you borrowing money from that rotten person?"

Tsuji ignored Kamitsu's answer and asked.Shenli curled his lips and remained silent.

"You also know that Boss hates scam syndicates the most, right?"

“…………”

"If you tell me, I can lend you a little bit."

"I will never borrow money from you."

"Too much."

"As long as you can lend me money, no one is bad. Isn't the scam group and the gang doing the same thing?"

"That's right, and the scope of business overlaps a bit, so there's no way to love each other... But, it's still weird when you think about it. You're not popular with women, you want money, and you're so despicable that you told the boss about me and Ying Misato's relationship. But you don't seem like someone who would betray the gang, after all, the gang is your only shelter. You don't need to borrow money from Tanaka."

"...I don't need a small amount like one or two hundred. I don't have time to find people to borrow money."

Shenli said angrily.Tsuji turned his office chair ninety degrees, looked up at the sullen man and asked:

"Is it because your daughter is sick?"

Shenli was dumbfounded when he heard this, "What..." he couldn't even finish his sentence.He was surprised why Tsuji knew about this, after all maybe even Kazuo didn't know that Shenli had a daughter.

"Before you joined the gang, you dated a classmate in your hometown and made her conceive a child. She is an ordinary person, and her father is a policeman. Her father warned you not to approach her again, and you have not been able to meet since then... But you recently learned that your daughter, who is in high school, has suddenly become seriously ill."

"...Tsuji, you..."

"If she wants to live, she has to go abroad to receive an organ transplant. However, doing so requires a huge amount of money, all of which will cost about 2000 million, right?"

Kamitsu looked at Tsuji in astonishment.

The two were silent, and at this moment the fluorescent lamp made a "chirp" sound and flickered once again.

"A gangster is also a father after all... Although I sympathize with you, I still can't see you cooperating with Tanaka."

"They didn't kill that kid named Nonomiya. Those people may have abused him, but they also know that killing someone will only cause trouble..."

While Shenli was saying this, footsteps came from outside.

"The main character is finally about to appear."

After Tsuji said that, Kamitsu's expression became stiff.

The footsteps sounded like they were going downstairs, and soon they came to the basement, approaching step by step.Tanaka appeared in front of Tsuji, wearing a gray beanie, black down jacket, and glasses, dressed like an ordinary student.However, when he saw Tsuji being tied up, the smile in his eyes was not normal.

"Hahahahaha, Tsuji-san, that's great! Being tied up suits you so well!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Tanaka was followed by two men, dressed as unremarkably as he, but clearly his bodyguards from his physique.

"Mr. Shenli, you have worked hard, and it seems to be going well."

"...Because I checked when he would be on the order."

"Did you find anything?"

"It's been checked, it's not on him."

God replied with a vague voice.

"Eh, what should I do then? I'm not a gangster, so I'm not interested in tying him up and beating him up, and I don't have time to look for it slowly... Mmm, Mr. Tsuji, where is that thing?"

"what are you saying?"

Just as Tsuji finished speaking, the force and sound of slapping came from his left ear, accompanied by a piercing hum.

"Stop pretending to be a fool~ It will be difficult for me to do things~"

He couldn't hear what Tanaka said, and thought that he might have hurt his eardrums. After a while, his cheeks started to tingle. It seemed that the skin was a little torn, probably scratched by Tanaka's nails.Damn, the way to hit people is obviously very skilled——Tsuji slapped his tongue in his heart.

"If I lose that thing, I'm doomed. I'm really doomed~ Well, Tsuji-san, can you please raise your head a bit? That's right, stop over there. Okay, I'll trouble you then."

One of the bodyguards stood in front of Tsuji.

Ah, to be beaten.Tsuji clenched his teeth while thinking, at least to avoid biting his tongue.Tanaka took out his mobile phone, and pointed at Tsuji while humming, as if he wanted to take a photo.

The bodyguard gave Tsuji a punch.

It wasn't the face that hurt first, but the neck, because it twisted hard when he was beaten.

The next second the face started to hurt.Tsuji hadn't been hit in the face for a long time, and felt particularly uncomfortable.The wheels slid, causing him to turn half a circle with the chair.Tanaka said: "Oh, I can't let him turn around." The bodyguard who beat him turned the chair back.Tsuji felt his nose bleed and quickly relaxed his jaw.If you breathe through your nose when you have a nosebleed, it will be bad if you choke.

"Okay, let's shoot!"

The bodyguard grabbed Tsuji's hair and made him look up.Following the click of the shutter, the flash fires.Why did Tanaka take pictures?Where to use it?You don't have to think about it.

"Mr. Shenli, let me ask you, who will get a quicker response if you send the photo?"

"Kikuchi, he will come here immediately regardless of everything."

Hearing Kamitsu's words, Tsuji endured the pain on his face and said:

"It's useless, that idiot doesn't know anything."

"Wow~ The more Mr. Tsuji says he can't send it to him, the more I want to send it. What should I do? Kikuchi is the masochist who was hit by the iron chair, right? I heard that he admires you very much, and he is an idiot. Pick him Couldn't be better. Tsuji-san, tell me his phone number."

"I know."

After Shenli finished speaking, Tanaka replied: "Okay, then I will send you the photo first, and you can call Kikuchi over." Then he began to press the phone.Tsuji wanted to say "Don't send it" again, but the nosebleeds flowed into his throat, making him unable to speak.He spat out blood clots and glared at Tanaka.

"Don't worry, Tsuji-san, Kikuchi will come with the treasure soon."

"...he doesn't know where he's hiding."

"Haha, you are so sure, it seems that he must know."

"Mr. Tanaka... don't look down on the underworld, or you will end up miserable...?"

Tsuji raised his eyes and stared, Tanaka happily jumped up and down two steps, and came in front of Tsuji.

He bent down, put his face close to Tsuji and said, "That's what I wanted to say to you." There was a strange light in the eyes under the glasses.He wiped the lower half of Tsuji's face with his hand, and raised his blood-stained palm to Tsuji's eyes.

"The underworld has been outdated for a long time, but you are still self-righteous, and you will end up like this. Compared with you people who are bound by the organization, we are freer, more relaxed and more flexible. The business you came to before The place is also closed, we moved out long before the police found out. Neither the police nor you even know my real name, so what can you do to me? Just let Nonomiya Ren come back from the dead and sue me How about the crime of injury? Let me state first, I didn’t kill him. If I did, I wouldn’t know where the CD was hidden. I just told him that if he doesn’t want to die, he should hand over the things. He himself will die in the At home, it will really cause trouble. But, fortunately, I learned that Ren gave you the things."

Tsuji looked at Tanaka silently.

CD.

That's what he called a treasure.

Tanaka's CD was taken away by Ren, and now he thinks it is in Tsuji's hands.There seemed to be some important information on that CD.

On the day Kikuchi rushed to their office to beat someone up, before Tsuji left, Tanaka once said:

Can you pay me back?

Tsuji always felt that something was wrong.That sentence was said so abruptly that Tsuji couldn't understand it, and was about to ask him what he meant, but he said it was compensation.At that time, Tsuji didn’t pursue the question further, but after thinking about it, it was unreasonable. Why did the word “repay” be used for the compensation?

That should be a leading question.

Tsuji guessed so.Tanaka had lost or robbed something important, and he thought the culprit was Tsuji, but he didn't have clear evidence at the time, so he asked a vague question to observe Tsuji's reaction.In fact, Tsuji was completely ignorant of the CD at the time.

After a few days, things changed.Tanaka heard from someone that Tsuji had been to Ren's residence, so he was sure that Tsuji had the CD.

Tanaka ordered Kamari to kidnap Tsuji.

Shenli borrowed so much money from Tanaka, so naturally he couldn't disobey his order.

So that's how things turned out.

"Look, my appearance is ordinary, right? I look so kind that I dare not even kill a bug."

Tanaka said as he wiped the blood from his hand on Tsuji's leg.

"I really don't dare to kill, because I'm afraid of insects. I'm a native urbanite. However, whether you dare to kill insects or not is different from whether you dare to kill people. Gangsters rarely kill people, right? The police are always watching You, and you have fingerprints of many people... The risk of killing people is too high for you, but we don't have such a problem."

When Tanaka said these words, Shenli was talking on the phone next to him, and the person should be Kikuchi.Tsuji imagined him rushing towards here with a pale face.

"However, I haven't killed anyone yet. There is no need to kill people. Just take people to the mountains and bury them alive until only one head is exposed, and then leave them there for one night. Most of them will reform themselves. Cooperate with me from the bottom of my heart. That's why I haven't encountered a situation where I have to kill someone~"

"Kikuchi said he would come over immediately."

After Shenli finished speaking, Tanaka nodded and replied:

"Oh, is that so? Where's the CD?"

"He'll bring it here...he'll be there in about 10 minutes by motorcycle."

"Great, great. During this time, let me tell you about the great achievements I have made when I was a player pretending to be a fraud. There are many interesting stories!"

Tanaka said happily.The so-called players refer to people in the fraud industry who use telephone and other channels to directly commit fraud.Tsuji heard that such a person needs to have a certain acting skill.

Tanaka moved an office chair over, sat down in front of Tsuji, and began to describe his story vividly.

Describe how good he is at lying.

Describe how deceitful he is.

Lied to men, women, old people one after another, cheated once and then a second time, drove people to a desperate situation, and took away all their money——

"Someone died. They committed suicide. Because their pension was gone and they had no family to take care of them, they committed suicide because they couldn't think about it."

Tanaka giggled, turning the chair as he spoke.

Tsuji thought it was a good thing he was tied up now, otherwise he would definitely get up and beat this guy to death, and he would inevitably end up in prison.This is the kind of person he dislikes the most.

The basement seemed to be Tanaka's stage, he was talking endlessly, and 10 minutes passed quickly.

The gatekeeper brought in Kikuchi, who was out of breath.Seeing Tsuji with blood on his face, Kikuchi shrugged his shoulders angrily, blushing... From Tsuji's point of view, he seemed to be exuding an aura of anger.He really is like a beast.

"Old Tsuji..."

"Oh, that's not enough, loyal dog."

Kikuchi was about to rush towards Tsuji, but was stopped by two bodyguards.He clenched his fists and shouted, "Quickly let the boss go!"

"Give me the CD, and I'll let him go."

"……Really?"

"Really. Ah, by the way, does anyone know you're here?"

“…………”

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll cut off Tsuji-san's ear?"

Tanaka flashed the butterfly knife with a "clang", put it under Tsuji's ear, and said with a smile.Kikuchi replied with a wrinkled face, "I, I didn't tell anyone."

"Huh, something is wrong. A person like you can write everything in his heart on his face."

"It's true! Before going out, Kushida-san asked me where I was going...but I just answered him and rushed over, so no one really knows!"

"Oh~ Kushida...that's fine. Come on, give me the CD."

Tanaka put away the knife, stretched out his hand and said.Kikuchi pulled out a transparent CD case from inside his leather jacket, with the date written in scrawled handwriting on it.

"Um."

After confirming the date, Tanaka smiled and said to Kikuchi:

"Thank you~ah~ that's great, if I don't find this thing, my ears will be cut off... No, maybe it's not just the ears. But, for now, you will have several ears cut off Fingers, haha."

……What's the meaning?

Why did Tsuji and the others have their fingers cut off?Neither Tsuji nor Kikuchi knew the contents of the disc, so they didn't understand what he was talking about.But Tsuji didn't reflect the doubts in his heart on his face, he just yelled at Tanaka:

"Hey, are you satisfied, let me go."

"Eh, I don't want it."

Tanaka pretended to be stupid and replied.Kikuchi cursed: "Bastard!" Just as he was about to rush over, he was stopped by a bodyguard from behind.

"You're definitely going to seek revenge on me, right? That's what gangsters do, aren't they?"

"Let go of me, let me go! Boss, boss!"

"...It's so noisy, Kikuchi, please calm down...Yes, you are right, Mr. Tanaka. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to take revenge after being treated like this?"

"That's right~ From my point of view, I really want to kill you two."

Ju Chi, who was constantly struggling, suddenly froze in place.

"This way, there will be no proof."

After Tsuji finished speaking, Tanaka nodded and replied:

"That's right. However, it's fine with Kikuchi. If Mr. Tsuji dies, Chairman Kazuko will definitely come forward to make things more complicated. And I also have a promise..."

contract?

Who did he make an agreement with?Tsuji was still thinking, when he heard the traitor Shenli say: "If you want to kill him... I have a guy here." Then he took out something scary.After Tanaka saw it, he opened his eyes excitedly and said:

"Pistol! Awesome!"

"... You can't take Tsuji lightly, so I brought it. After all, I don't want to die yet."

Kamitsu said while holding the revolver.

This man does have the ability to obtain guns without being traced.Facing this situation, Tsuji had nothing to do but laugh.

"Shenli... you...!"

Kikuchi struggled even more desperately, but he was still held up by the bodyguard and beaten by another bodyguard.The current situation is not good for them no matter how you think about it.

Like a child seeing a famous new game, Tanaka approached Kanari and said, "Let me have a look, let me play!" Kanari said, "Be careful." He handed him the pistol.

"Oh, it's really heavy."

Tanaka was so excited that his cheeks were flushed, and he immediately raised his gun and aimed it at Kikuchi.Kikuchi shuddered and opened his eyes wide.Kamitsu tried to stop him by shouting "Hello" with a displeased expression on his face.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, I won't kill you if I don't kill you. Hmm... But... Uwah, I really want to shoot~"

Tanaka pointed the gun up, said "Bang!", and laughed.His eyes were extremely frightening, and he was manic despite not taking drugs.Tsuji thought from the bottom of his heart: He would never accept such a person as his younger brother.

At this time, Tanaka suddenly lowered his pistol.

He put away his smile and looked at the ceiling wondering what he was thinking.He blinked his eyes, said "Yeah", looked at Tsuji with enlightenment and said:

"I'm going to run away in a minute."

Tsuji didn't respond, but he still looked at Tanaka without looking away.

"The recent behavior of the police is a bit strange. If something goes wrong with me as the boss, the benefactor will also be implicated. So I have to be careful, otherwise I will really die. Anyway, I got the CD back, and I will take it. I just need to run away...but it would be bad if someone came to make trouble on the way~ I don't want to be hunted down by gangsters."

Tanaka pointed the gun at Tsuji.

Kikuchi roared like a beast.Tanaka frowned and said:

"You're so noisy, I won't kill him, but it's okay to temporarily immobilize him, right? I think it's okay, this is a necessary method, huh."

"...Having said so much, you just want to shoot, right?"

Tsuji finally spoke after a long time, but Tanaka asked seriously, "You think so too?" Then he said:

"I also think that I might just want to shoot, but I like myself... Tsuji-san, where do you want me to shoot? How about the shoulder? Ah, but it's my first time shooting, so I may not be able to shoot. So accurate."

Tanaka lowered his pistol and walked over.

Step by step, he approached Tsuji.

"It's safer to shoot at close range, right?"

Whether it was nervousness or excitement, his voice rose a little.

Crack.

Tsuji heard the sound of the insurance opening, and Kikuchi's roar.

Idiot, screaming so loud will make your throat bleed.What are you crying for?Those two people are pressing you together, no matter how hard you struggle, you won't be able to get through.Ah, what's the use of biting them? ... You see, I was beaten, I knew it.As long as it has anything to do with me, you will be so desperate, so stupid.I kick you and scold you like that, but you still like me, what an idiot.Also practicing Chinese characters to get my compliments...

"Heh." Tsuji couldn't help laughing out loud.

Tsuji thought of how stupid Kikuchi looked when he touched his head, but Tanaka thought Tsuji was laughing at him.He said unhappily:

"As expected of a mafia member, you really have the guts. Is this the collarbone? Should I pick the top or the bottom of the collarbone? If it hits an artery, it might kill someone..."

The muzzle slid up and down Tsuji's collarbone.

"I didn't intend to kill you at first... But it's not bad... Sometimes even if I don't want to kill you, it's inevitable that I will miss..."

Tanaka muttered to himself, his eyes kept drifting, which was quite weird.Even Tsuji didn't feel comfortable looking at it, he felt cold sweat running down his side.

"Sorry to hurt you."

Tanaka laughed.It's like a child apologizing to a grasshopper before pulling off its feet.

"Stop!" Kikuchi's scream echoed in the basement.

Tsuji closed his eyes and took a deep breath.The muzzle of the gun pressed even tighter, under his collarbone.He suddenly remembered the term subclavian artery.What happened to death due to excessive blood loss?If the artery is injured and bleeding profusely, it will cause shock symptoms... He has heard people say so.

However, people will die one day.

This is the only thing that is inevitable and unavoidable.Moreover, death is a cruel thing, even if you live a normal life, you may not die peacefully.Good people can also fall ill, or be killed suddenly in a car accident.

And Tsuji is a member of the underworld, and it is even more impossible to die in a decent way.

This is often the end of people who are deviant.If you still hope that the last period of your life can be spent peacefully, you are really stupid.Tsuji was mentally prepared to accept the worst possible way to die.

but……

"Okay, that's it~"

Tsuji's death date is not today.

"Don't move, don't move, I'll shoot if you move~ My marksmanship is very poor, I might miss and shoot in the wrong place~"

The police officers led by Yuan Jin filed into the basement. There were eight policemen in total, each wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a pistol.

Tanaka froze in place with his eyes wide open.Yuan Jin, who looked exactly like a capybara, walked over slowly.

"Quick, put the gun down."

Far and near ordered.Tanaka was terrified by the sudden situation, he yelled "Ah", and pointed the gun at far and near.Without changing his face, he put down his pistol.

"You have no bullets in that gun."

he said calmly.

Tanaka froze on the spot, when a burly policeman pulled him down and pinned him on the concrete floor.The two bodyguards were also treated in the same way.Kikuchi stood there with his mouth wide open, while Kamitsu let out a deep breath, and his shoulders relaxed.

"He is called Tanaka, and his real name is Yosuke Kurayoshi. He is suspected of kidnapping, wounding, possessing firearms, uh, and... homicide. In short, he will be arrested."

After Yuanjin finished speaking, Tanaka's hands were pulled behind his back by the police and handcuffed.

"...It's too slow, Mr. Tonkin."

After hearing Tsuji's complaints from far and near, he replied, "I'm waiting for the opportunity."

Tsuji asked Kamili to untie the rope for him, and looked at Tanaka who was dragged away from the scene... no, it was Kurayoshi.Kurayoshi turned his head with an expression like a ghost, and said a very ordinary cruel sentence: "Bastard! Remember it to me!" No, no, this should be my line... Tsuji thought so.Although he really wanted to kill this guy himself, it was better to leave it to the police this time, so he had to endure it.

"Tsuji, Tsuji... Boss Tsuji..."

Kikuchi ran over staggeringly.Tsuji was still sitting in the chair, he hugged Tsuji's leg and said:

"You...you're still alive...boss, you're still alive...uh, that's great...!"

"Hey, don't stain my suit with snot. Ah~ I want to smoke so much, I want to smoke until I die... Kikuchi."

"Yes!"

Kikuchi happily took out the cigarette, let Tsuji suck it, and then lit it for him.

Tsuji had been tied behind his back just now, and his arms and shoulders were a little sore.He raised his hands up, and stretched his waist "um~".Ahh, cigarettes smell so good.

"Mr. Tsuji, where are the real discs?"

Hearing Yuanjin's question, Tsuji replied:

"I don't know either. That guy is convinced that the thing is with me, but I don't even know what it is. Anyway, after I found out that I was being targeted, I went to Mr. Shenli to discuss it, and I co-starred in this play with him first. .”

"Then how did you guys know the date written on the CD case and fool Tanaka?"

"I saw it once."

Shenli answered questions from near and far:

"When I went to Tanaka's office one time, someone accidentally took out the CD...Tanaka was furious and scolded him, 'Don't take this thing out now'. The date on it was the same as my mother's birthday , so I just remembered."

"However, even if the date is known, it is impossible to write exactly the same words, so we had to take a gamble. Thanks to our hard work, all the credit has been given to the police. You should thank us anyway."

"Who should thank you? If you are a policeman and thank the underworld, then I don't need to be a policeman."

Far and near showed an expression as if he had eaten a sour plum, and said so.A criminal policeman said to him: "Mr. Yuanjin, let's go out first." This operation should be carried out jointly by the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department and the ※Search Section [-]. (Annotation: The department in the Japanese police agency is mainly responsible for detecting intelligent crimes such as fraud.)

"This young man's acting skills are not bad."

Looking at Juchi from far and near, he said.Kikuchi replied, "Yes, ah, huh?" He still didn't seem to understand what was going on.

"He doesn't know anything."

Tsuji explained to Yuanjin with a smile.

"...I don't know? Didn't you tell him about the plan?"

"I just told him: 'I will be kidnapped, it's set up, don't worry about it. As soon as you receive a call from Shenli, come here with the CD. Also, don't say anything about it.' ...however, he didn't know there was no bullet in the gun, and he didn't know that the police would come."

"Yes, I don't know any of this!"

Juchi responded energetically.

"Do not you mind?"

After Yuanjin finished asking dumbfoundedly, Kikuchi replied with a smile on his face: "As long as the boss is okay, I can do anything!" Yuanjin looked down at Kikuchi sitting at the foot of Tsuji, frowned and murmured: "Wow~ you It's too disgusting..."

This plan was conceived by Tsuji and Caizu.

Cooperating between the police and gangsters is not allowed on the stage.If there is something on the table, there will naturally be an off-the-table. This is the operating law of the world.However, Chairman He Hong hates this contradictory behavior.Therefore, Tsuji did not ask the president for assistance this time, nor did he tell anyone related to their gang to avoid information leaking out.Of course, Tsuji still has to report the incident to Chairman Kazuhiro afterwards, and he may be punished at that time, but this is a necessary means to defeat Tanaka, and he believes that his judgment is not wrong.

"Boss, you are too much. How can you not tell me?"

The first person to complain about this to Tsuji was Kushida.

Tsuji and Kikuchi returned to the office early in the morning, but the hardworking Kushida had already arrived before the other younger brothers came.He was dumbfounded when he saw the blood on Tsuji's shirt.Tsuji briefly explained what happened, and even a gentle person like Kushida showed displeasure when he heard it, repeating the three words "too much".Tsuji could only return a wry smile and apologize to him:

"Sorry, I wanted to tell you too, but you like to worry about it... I think you might think it's too dangerous and object to me doing this."

While talking, Tsuji applied the ice pack Kushida brought to his cheeks.He has been beaten recently, and the wounds on his face never heal.

"That's right, it's too dangerous."

"You really do say that."

Kushida placed the medicine box in front of Tsuji, and added:

"However, if Boss decides to do this... I will also help. But people like me may not be able to help much."

"No. I didn't look for you, just because this scene needs that kind of idiot character."

Tsuji pointed to Kikuchi standing in the corner of the room, and continued:

"The next step is to rely on Mr. Kushida. Please think about it with me, how to repay this matter, so that Boss Kazuko won't be too angry."

After Tsuji begged, Kushida nodded and said, "I understand."

"Hey... Boss, you have been reckless from the past... I have long been used to being played by you."

Tsuji has a shallow gash just below his ear, probably from Tanaka's knife.Although it wasn't a serious injury, Kushida carefully put the OK bandage on him.

"Sorry, I've always been difficult."

"Anyway, it's a good thing you're fine. Tanaka must be regretting it now. Not only did he not get the roster information, but he was also arrested by the police."

Kushida laughed "hehe" twice, and then said, "I really want to see the situation at that time with my own eyes." Tsuji touched the 0K stretch, nodded and said:

"...Yeah, that guy's surprised expression is really funny."

While talking, Tsuji felt a strange feeling like something stuck in his throat.He slowly moved his fingers on the 0K bandage to his neck, and pulled the tie knot by the way.

He undid his tie knot and pulled off his tie.Caijin came over and held out his hand to him.Tsuji handed the tie to Caijin, looked up at him and said, "Lawyer, you've worked hard too."

"No, I didn't do anything."

When the plan was implemented, Caijin was on standby outside.

Tsuji has a microphone hidden in his clothes, and Caijin uses it to grasp the situation in the house and play the role of connecting the distance.He did not contribute much, but he was the commander of this operation.If something goes wrong with him, the plan will fail.Tsuji will entrust this task to him, which also represents a certain amount of trust in him.

"Mr. Tsuji, are you tired? Do you want to go home and change?"

"Well, good."

"Takuya, go back and change your clothes too. I'll drive you back... Mr. Kushida, if the police come, please tell them that you will contact Attorney Saitsu."

"Okay, lawyer."

"But I think Mr. Tonkin will help us deal with it."

Tsuji finished drinking the coffee made by Kushida, said, "Ah, I'm so tired," and stood up.

"I'm getting old too... Then Kushida-san, I'll leave it to you from now on."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Lawyer, please send them back."

Kushida saluted respectfully, and watched Tsuji and the others leave.

After Caijin's car was on the road, Kikuchi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, came to his senses and said, "Huh? I suddenly thought, have I been tricked by my boss and uncle?"

"Your mind is so simple..."

Tsuji was still holding the ice pack to his face. As soon as he finished speaking, Kikuchi turned his head and said:

"I also thought about it seriously! I also want to say that if the boss gets shot, I will jump up and bite his neck off."

"You don't have cavities, do you?"

"Yes, my teeth are very healthy."

Kikuchi replied happily, but Caijin next to him had a stiff expression.

"Mr. Tsuji... have you found out?"

Hearing the sound of water in the ice pack, Tsuji responded, "I found it."

Unfortunately, Tsuji already sensed the source of that strange feeling.He didn't want to guess the reason behind it... But he couldn't ignore it, he had to investigate the matter quickly.

"I'll go over after changing my clothes... Kikuchi, call Lao Zhang."

"Huh? You mean Mr. Zhang, the locksmith?"

"Otherwise is there anyone else?"

"No, I know."

Kikuchi hurriedly called a locksmith surnamed Zhang, and after the call was connected, he handed over the phone to Tsuji.The locksmith is highly skilled. He can use props designed by himself to open locks, and he can unlock most of the locks.This is of course illegal and therefore expensive.

Tsuji made an appointment with him somewhere in an hour and hung up the phone.

"...Um...boss, over there is..."

Kikuchi looked uneasy when he heard Tsuji's address.

Tsuji ignored Kikuchi's question and put his feet on the center console between the front and passenger seats.He was still wearing leather shoes, but Caijin didn't complain.

The plan came to a successful conclusion.

Tanaka... no, it's Kurayoshi.It's really troublesome, I'd better call him Tanaka.them
