If I don't quit, I will be forced to usurp the throne.

Life is really lonely, like fresh food that cannot be sold at a discount before the supermarket closes.

The salary in Black Lizard is three times higher than before, which is a little comfort to my injured young heart.

And after I entered the Black Lizard, my first task was...to capture the missing low-level staff Umeki.

After I heard the content of the task, I didn't ask any unnecessary questions, and responded directly: "Yes... May I ask who should I ask for the existing materials?"

"There should be relevant information from Anwu... For other things, Xiaoqian, you should be able to handle it yourself." My new boss was playing a game console, lying on the table lazily, and said casually, "Other things... about Manpower, you go to Mr. Guangjin to lead a team."

"Hey?" I was taken aback and hesitated, "I'm just the basic staff of Black Lizard, can I lead a team?"

"Of course this is your own business, Xiaoqian... ah." The game console in Osamu Dazai's hand issued a gameover notification sound, and he seemed to throw the game console aside in annoyance. With a smile, "If I need to deal with all this, then Xiaoqian, you will be as boring as everyone else."

"……"What's this?What kind of tone is this "If you can't do this little thing well, you might as well just sue yourself"? !

"Sen, you shouldn't think that my attitude as a 'direct supervisor' is the same as that of 'your father's friend'... Ah, no, Odasaku's education should be very gentle, right? At this point I might It's the complete opposite." The black-haired boy showed some headache expression, and sighed, "Let Xiaoqian make your own choice. You want me to treat you like an ordinary girl, Is it still a useful subordinate?"

Before I could answer, the other party immediately added an explanation: "I declare in advance that although the leader has ordered me to develop your potential and make the most of it, even if you choose the former one, I will do it."

"...But in that case, Dazai-san, you can't explain to Chief Mori, right?"

"How could it be?" Dazai Osamu smiled, and his voice was soft, "After all, when it is really needed, there will always be a way for you, Xiaoqian, to voluntarily make a move without reservation."

I couldn't help falling into a brief silence.

The other party's last sentence has no subject.So I don't know whether it is he himself or the leader Sen who he said made me voluntarily take action.

I thought about it carefully and thought that both of them could do it.

And the other party said to give me a choice, in fact, the orientation is very obvious.

No wonder both Umeki and Hirotsu-san are in awe of this guy.This face change is too fast and natural!

At this time, maybe I should be angry, or put on a defensive attitude and say "Mr. Dazai, you still have two faces at such a young age", but I am quite happy when the other party said "your father's friend". , so let's not pursue it.

As for this choice...

"Can I choose the third option?"

The other party seemed to be a little interested, and asked, "What?"

I put on a serious expression and said slowly: "I want to be treated as the hope of the country's future."

There was a sudden silence in the room, and after a long time, it became a little awkward.

"...Well, this is really difficult." Dazai Osamu thought for a while, then laughed, "I will try my best. On the other hand, Xiaoqian should also work hard."

I don't know what Osamu Dazai asked me to work on. Anyway, after I was given the task, I went to find Ango Sakaguchi.

After hearing my reason for coming, the other party pondered for a moment, then frowned: "Mr. Dazai asked you to come? Umeki... I have a little impression, just wait a moment."

After searching for it, Ango Sakaguchi finally found a notebook that looked a little old.

"Ah... I found it. Meimu Hongren, a former military policeman, was expelled for killing his colleagues and joined the Mafia. He is good at commanding battles, so he is the leader of the team. His parents are deceased, and he has a younger brother. There has been no communication for a long time. He died in an attack near the waste disposal plant during the Longtou War." Ango Sakaguchi looked at me after reading, "This is the only recorded material left, do you need to transcribe it?"

"Hmm... No need, I will write down this information soon." I shook my head and thought about it.

Umeki told me before that he has an older brother, so it can be seen that he has no intention of concealing this information... But Ango's information can't be wrong.

The existing information is: 1. Meimu is probably the long-lost younger brother of Meimu Hongren;

2. Umeki led me to the place where the Q riot happened on purpose;

3. Most of Meimu's current disappearance is because he escaped by himself, and there are still unknown secrets in him.

"A former military police..." I muttered, frowning, "I always think it's an extremely troublesome task..."

"Mission? Is it the leader that Dazai-kun issued to you?"

"It doesn't make any difference to me, does it?" I stared at the old booklet in Ango Sakaguchi's hand, and suddenly said, "Mr. Ango, can I have a look at the document in your hand?"

Ango Sakaguchi was taken aback for a moment, and raised the book that had just been closed in his hand: "Huh? You mean this?"

"It's fine if it's inconvenient."

"This is just an insignificant old account book, not a confidential document." Ango Sakaguchi showed helplessness, and handed over the book, "I just did some unnecessary things at the time... Anyway, you can take it and read it, remember to return it. .”

The notebook Ango Sakaguchi gave me is not so much a document, but a simple record of the life of the deceased.

It contains the last information of those who died in the dragon war, and there is not much usability to speak of.If it weren't for the fact that Mei Mu, a living person, was involved this time, this record probably wouldn't have been found out.

"Ah...this book, when Dazai and I met Ango for the first time, he was writing this." When I got home and flipped through it, Odasaku saw it. There was also a look of nostalgia, "Ango was still a newcomer at that time."

I was halfway through the page, and when I heard Oda Tsukuru speak, I immediately rubbed over the notebook with a curious look on my face: "Really? Speaking of which, I just know that Mr. Ango and Mr. Dazai are your friends, but I haven't heard that you two are friends." How did you know each other?"

"This kind of thing should be very boring for girls." Although Odasaku said so, he still told me.

After I finished listening, I got a piece of information——Ango Sakaguchi dared to make a decision with Dazai when he was a newcomer to Hong Kong as an intern, and was crowned "interesting" by Dazai, and then Odasaku and Dazai Let's go together and drink together.

...So, as long as it is considered interesting, it is equivalent to setting a flag, right?

"Did An Wu actually give you this book? I wanted to buy it before and he refused to ask for a price."

"I'll lend it to Odasaku after I finish reading it!"

"Hmm... isn't it good to not get Ango's consent?"

"Then I'll call him later and ask him!"

5 minutes later———

[... Whatever you want!Is it necessary to call me to confirm this kind of problem? !Do you father and daughter think I am idle? ? 】

"Mr. Ango! We fully respect your right to private ownership and privacy of your items!"

[... Do you still want me to thank you? ! 】

"you are welcome."

【…】

Then, the other party hung up the phone.

"What did Ango say?"

I thought about it, and said with a serious face: "He is too moved to speak."

"Hey... Ango, you don't have to be so polite."

After reading the information given by Ango Sakaguchi, I made a preliminary guess.

Umeki is grateful to his brother, and at the same time has a sense of belonging to Hong Kong and Black.In addition, I was only asked to deal with the Q incident...so the Q incident could not have been done by Umeki, and at most it could only be regarded as going along with the flow and cheating me.

The question is, why is it aimed at me specifically.

After all, I'm just one of the low-level staff, and I don't bother anyone at all, and I don't have any personal grudges with Umeki.

So...letting me go and capture Umeki back by myself is actually giving me a chance to deal with this matter by myself, right?

On another level, this is still a good sell for me.

And I'm really grateful for the sale, which gave me the possibility to deal with this matter in private.

It's better to say that I still have a little bit of fear at this moment, although it is very slight.

Because... Umeki's dead brother Umeki Hongren should be my original connector.

In Ango's records, among the people who died in the Dragon Head War, after excluding all impossible options, only this person was left who met all the conditions for my connector.

So... I guessed "the connector is dead" when I gave up on myself at the beginning, but it turned out to be true... This organization is really unreliable at all!The connectors are all dead, do I really have a future if I continue to hang out? !

Cough cough, in short... there are still many questions, which can only be solved by catching Mei Mu.

For example, is he just purely envious and jealous of me because I have talents but doesn't want to climb up, which leads to psychological distortion, or did he know something from his dead brother's relics and wanted to test me with it.However, according to Mr. Ango's records, Umeki's relic at that time was a wallet, and there was nothing special in it.

As for the whereabouts of Umeki... people are needed.

I went to the centurion Guangjin Liulang of the Black Lizard.

"Old man! Although it's shameless to say this as a rookie who has just joined the Black Lizard and is less than 15 years old... But I want a small team to catch a low-level traitor."

Guangjin Liulang was not surprised: "I see... Is it Mr. Dazai's order? Is there a designated person?"

"Although it is Mr. Dazai's order... But I can't rely on Mr. Dazai's power. This is a request. But I also know that I was young and rose from the bottom, so not many people will obey me..." I revealed With a look of embarrassment, "So, I plan to persuade people with reason. You choose ten people who are suitable for tracking, one-on-one, and those who lose must obey me to complete this operation."

……

Half an hour later————

"Hey——has Xiaoqian already started? It's faster than I expected." Dazai Osamu sighed, "She probably won't take advantage of me, so...how did you convince others to obey her?"

Guangjin Liulang's face became a little weird, and he coughed to cover it up: "Furuya said... Since she is Mr. Dazai's subordinate, she should inherit Mr. Dazai's tradition. So don't be rude, and use reasoning." People. So she opts for ... one-on-one brain teasers."

Osamu Dazai froze for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"That's why I said that Xiaoqian is very interesting! I really hope that the people of Black Lizard can learn a little bit."

Guangjin Liulang: "..." Then when you go to assassinate, do you have a brain teaser first! ?Better not!

The author has something to say: Pipiqian: Come to the B-Box competition next time! (X)

What kind of person is Hei Shizai? I hope everyone has a B number in their hearts (.)

I will not lie about the word count in the text when I first saw the original novel about the three of them.

A name appeared in the original work of Meimu Hongren, and here I set up a lot to add scenes to him (.

PS: Those who said that Xiaoqian was going to date Alice, are you a devil? ? ?
