Ichijō Mirai walked into the coffee shop, ordered a mediocre iced Americano, went up to the second floor, and sat at the window booth looking out over the amusement park.

Gin had given him plenty of information.

This amusement park was built more than ten years ago. It is said that many experts were specially invited to plan it when it was built, and a public opinion offensive was launched when it was still in the planning stage. For more than ten years, it has firmly occupied a place in the hearts of Tokyo people. It is a dating place for many young people and a rare place for a family of three to relax and play.

This means one thing: the average age of the park's visitors is in their early twenties.

Twenty is the age of curiosity, thrill-seeking, and love of thrill rides, and a few months ago there was a roller coaster accident at the park, where a guest fell off the coaster into the plaza below, spreading ketchup on the happy crowd.

The amusement park has been experiencing a downturn in attendance, and has recently returned to normal attendance, but the presence of children and older parents is still much less frequent, and the amusement park is filled with young people.

Under these circumstances, the presence of a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit and carrying a suitcase, who rushes out of a cab, is very suspicious.

The middle-aged man looked like an ordinary person with no training.

After getting off the car, he absentmindedly looked around for a few times, took a photo of the main entrance of the amusement park with his mobile phone, and made a phone call, saying something nervously.

After less than ten seconds, the person who answered the phone decisively hung up, leaving the middle-aged man to open his mouth to speak, and then shut up in annoyance.uth to speak, and then shut up with chagrin and anxiety.

He held his cell phone and handbag tightly, walked around the entrance of the amusement park for a few times, had no intention of going in, and looked around the street, looking for taxis.

The target of the mission had not yet realized that he had arrived at the final transaction location and was still anxiously waiting for the next location.

Ichijō Mirai pretended to be nonchalant and leaned against the window, then withdrew his gaze and sent a message to Gin with a normal expression: [No tail, not the police.]

It looks like an ordinary, unlucky guy who's about to be blackmailed for 100 million yen.

But...

The reflection on the glass window shifted, and Ichijō Mirai immediately turned around to see a waiter carrying coffee up the stairs.

He took the coffee, smiled at the waiter, and naturally swept his eyes down from the second floor, stopping for a while at the target's chest and waist.

After a long glance, the analyzing icons popped up in turn.

The first icon is a suitcase, and the analysis after chosen it is: [A normal-sized suitcase, with items for trading stored inside, locked.]

The second one is the target's shoes.

After the analysis icon is chosen, the shoe automatically zooms in, and the traces on it are clearly visible: [Fresh soil and grass, traces of trouser legs being rubbed, going to a park, mountainous area or green area.]

The target had been carrying the suitcase in his right hand, hanging down by his side, and even though he was pacing anxiously, he didn't swing around, but kept the suitcase close to his body, with his arm and the suitcase blocking the right side of his back.

Because the movements were minor, the clothes were neatly arranged, without any unknown wrinkles or protrusions, and even if you zoom in, you can't tell whether they are carrying weapons.

The analysis icon only has a simple word: [Suspicious.]

Ichijō Mirai sent this unconfirmed message to Gin: [Suspected firearm on the chest and waist, please pay attention.]

[Received.] Gin quickly replied with two short messages, [I'll send someone to try, you keep an eye out.]

A few minutes later.

As time went by, the middle-aged man became more and more uneasy and anxious. He repeatedly raised his phone to make calls, but eventually put them down again. He didn't dare to make any more calls, but just frowned and pressed the phone to edit text messages.

A young man in black bumped right into him.

The middle-aged man was caught off guard, subconsciously raised his hand to hold down his shoulder to protect his chest, stared hard at the past, then reacted, and the young man who apologized again and again waved his hand, did not say anything more and then walked a few steps to the corner to continue editing text messages. 

The instinctive physical reaction was so obvious that it didn't even need to trigger the analysis mode.

Ichijō Mirai had already withdrawn his gaze and was also editing a text message, sending it out one step ahead of the middle-aged man: [Carrying a gun, inside left pocket of suit jacket...].

And received a reply confirming receipt of the message: [Recieved.]

A few seconds later, before the middle-aged man at the entrance of the amusement park could even send out his message, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the main entrance.

He looked around and carried his suitcase towards the ticket counter.

The suitcase was of normal size. Even if it was filled with Fukuzawa Yukichi, it couldn't hold much money. The mission name directly mentioned the amount of the transaction: 100 million yen.

[It's only 100 million yen,] Ichijō Mirai asked Gin, [You seem to be taking it very seriously.]

Gin quickly replied: [The first step is 100 million yen.]

Most of the guys who can come up with 100 million yen in liquid funds are not naive guys. As long as they have come into contact with criminals once and successfully survived, they will be less resistant to the second, third, or even long-term cooperation in the future.

The first step is 100 million yen, and the next step is to devour the prey bit by bit.

[This president has some good engineers and programmers under his command.]

That's the purpose of the organization.

After a brief explanation, Gin sent a new message: [I didn't say the deal was for 100 million yen.]

Ichijō Mirai reads the message several times, squeezing it like a sugar cane, and subtly realizes that there's no questioning in it.

Gin did not question, and soon sent another message: [The target of the mission has arrived, I'm going to meet him.]

[The person who wants to meet you has already arrived at the coffee shop and is now going up the stairs, don't attack.]

Huh, the 'someone you've met'?

Ichijō Mirai put down his coffee cup and looked at the stairs.

No one was coming up the stairs for a while, and it took another two seconds for a person who was slowly coming up the stairs to appear.

It was the young man in black who had just hit the target downstairs.

He came up the stairs very slowly, and when his head was over the railing on the second floor, he paused for a moment and looked up to make sure that Ichijō Mirai had seen him and that he wasn't about to pull out his gun, then he quickened his pace and took a seat in front of Ichijō Mirai.

"The police are tracking you."

This man...

Ichijō Mirai felt he looked familiar, yet strange.

He stared for a few seconds at the member of the organization that Gin was certain 'someone you've met before', and saw a red mark on the other man's neck, and the fluorescent analytical icon of a torn and broken...

[Severe strangulation wounds consisting of broken skin and localized bruising, formed one to two days ago...]

-It's the young officer from the alley.
