Chapter 284 Confirmation
Chapter 284 Confirmation
Late at night with few cars on the Intersection, Vodka spotted the Porsche approaching immediately. He was about to step forward when he felt his Mobile Phone vibrate, halting him. He took out his Mobile Phone, glanced around, and answered in a hushed tone, "Hello, Raki?"
On the other end of the Phone Call, a hoarse voice spoke in its usual calm tone, "Someone is watching you. Don't look around, walk to the next Intersection ahead, pretend you don't recognize the Car, just walk past it, switch to earphone Communication, and stay in touch."
"I understand..." Vodka said in a low voice, took out his Earphone, and switched the Phone Call to the Earphone.
The Porsche stopped in front of the Convenience Store at the Street Corner ahead. Rena Mizunashi (Kir) asked in a low voice, puzzled, "Someone is watching Vodka?"
Gin lit a Cigarette with the Cigarette Lighter in the Car and asked directly, "How many?"
"More than six. At least four on the Residential Building on both sides, and at least two at the Alley Entrance behind Vodka," Chi Feichei also switched the Communication to the Earphone and took out the Tablet to check the Map.
The Porsche 356A parked in front of the Convenience Store. The Back Seat Window was lowered a bit, and a wisp of smoke drifted out.
Vodka passed by, without looking much, without stopping, and continued forward.
Not long after, two Men also wearing black Suits passed by the Porsche, glanced sideways, didn't pay much attention, and continued to follow.
"Take a Taxi, go to Daikanyama Town, and get away yourself."
Chi Feichei said in a low voice to the Earphone.
Ahead, Vodka hailed a Taxi, got in, and left.
The two people Tracking from a distance hesitated because they didn't know Vodka's destination, then turned back and walked past the Porsche, returning to the previous Intersection.
Afterwards, two more people with the same attire walked out of the Intersection.
The four people gathered together, talking in low voices as they walked towards the Street Corner. Upstairs in the Residential Building at the Street Corner, several Windows also lit up.
The Porsche stayed parked for a while before leaving.
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) said with emotion, "There really are people watching Vodka."
"Yakuza Group members," Gin said.
"Yeah," Chi Feichei responded softly.
From the Lights that lit up in the Residential Building afterwards, it could be judged that someone was indeed secretly watching from behind the Window of the Residential Building before.
That building retained traces of long-term residence, it couldn't have been occupied temporarily, so it wouldn't be people called in by the Goal after discovering Vodka Tracking Eguchi Noriko.
There were two possibilities.
First: The area was inhabited by people from the Club, and Vodka, a stranger loitering there, was discovered. Club members at Home were secretly watching Vodka from their own Windows.
Second: Bourbon, who provided Intelligence about Eguchi Noriko, had a Problem and had people find a House nearby to lie in ambush, preparing a Trap.
Although the Disguise Goal was chosen by them, if they had learned about those Women beforehand and understood how Gin would arrange Actions and who he would send to perform the Task, it was not impossible to deduce that their Goal was this Woman with a Body Shape similar to Rena Mizunashi (Kir), and arrange an ambush in advance.
However, the latter had many factors to Consider.
How could Bourbon be sure of Gin's Arrangement? Wouldn't there be any Accidents that would make Gin change his mind?
Knowing that Gin had other Actions and wouldn't come himself, if Vodka, who followed Gin and knew many Organization Secrets, didn't come, it would be useless to stake out an Outer Member, so it was unlikely.
After Vodka answered the Phone and left, the people who came out, whether it was their refined attire or their calm Aura, matched Yamaguchi-gumi members.
If it were Public Security or the like disguised as Yakuza Group members, shrewd people wouldn't come out directly.
Elites from those Factions would Consider whether there were Organization Members squatting Outside, whether they would be noticed for acting strangely if they followed, and the more they Considered, the easier it would be to identify their Identity.
Simply put, if it were Public Security or the like, upon discovering that Gin's Car hadn't picked up Vodka and Vodka suddenly left, they would definitely not rush out rashly.
And if it were an unrefined Official agent, it would be impossible to Disguise themselves so convincingly.
Observing the Body Traces between the Actions of those four people, they didn't seem to be people who had undergone training from Official institutions either.
He and Gin were not confirming the number of people Tracking just now, but observing the other party's Behavior, identifying which Faction they were from.
Gin specifically said 'Yakuza Group members' just now to verify the conclusion with him.
Chi Feichei had Vodka lure people out to observe, in Gin's view, perhaps it was to confirm whether Bourbon had a Problem, but on the contrary, he was deliberately proving Bourbon's innocence in front of Gin.
If he didn't confirm, Gin might also go to confirm, or might confirm through other channels, but he might also be too lazy to confirm and directly become Suspicious, leaving a Hidden Worry in his mind, which would be detrimental to Bourbon's lurking.
He wasn't worried about putting Amuro Toru in a Pitfall either, that kid wouldn't set up such a crude and easily exposed situation...
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) wouldn't Consider whether Bourbon had a Problem, so she didn't have those complex Ideas. Not knowing that the simple conversation between the two afterwards was to confirm that a certain Bourbon was okay, she only looked at their Clothes and attire and confirmed that they were Yakuza Group, and joked, "It seems they live nearby. I heard that some Yakuza Group members live together in the same Area, and strangers entering that Area will arouse Vigilance. Vodka has broken into a den of thieves..."
"Tomorrow, after that Woman comes out, we'll find another Opportunity to take Action," Gin didn't explain.
Confirmation was necessary.
If Bourbon had a Problem, then they would have to Consider how to routine him in return.
If Bourbon was okay, they would also have confirmed the Situation around the other party, and tomorrow they wouldn't rush into that Area rashly and take Action in the encirclement of Yamaguchi-gumi members.
And Vodka's attire was no different from Yakuza Group members, and with Sunglasses covering his Face, the other party was far away and might not see his specific appearance clearly, so he wouldn't be noticed by Yamaguchi-gumi.
Maybe the other party would even regard Vodka as someone from another Club, thinking that another Club wanted to cause Matters...
In general, Vodka's exposure was neither a bad thing nor a good thing.
Because it couldn't be guaranteed whether Vodka's characteristics would be remembered by Yamaguchi-gumi people, and whether he would be recognized in future Actions.
However, there was more than one person with a Body Shape similar to Vodka, and a black Suit was nothing particularly noteworthy, so he might not be recognized in the future...
Chi Feichei didn't explain to Rena Mizunashi (Kir) either.
He liked to distinguish the Personalities of various people, and then based on Personality and way of thinking, to infer the Behavior Pattern of the other party, or based on Behavior Pattern, to infer the other party's way of thinking and Personality.
Although it involved volatile and uncertain Emotion factors, inferences would mostly have Mistakes, but leaving aside Emotion change factors, he could basically infer about seventy-seven or eighty-eight percent.
Before joining the Organization, he had always felt that Gin's Mentality should be the most difficult to fathom, but after getting along with him, it wasn't that difficult to guess.
Perhaps it was because they both liked to hide their Emotions, or perhaps in terms of Suspicion, he was no better than Gin... As long as he discarded what he knew, forgot his Red Faction Identity, and thought of himself as a real Organization Member, his choice would be almost the same as Gin's choice.
And Emotion changes, this factor that was difficult for him to grasp, for Gin, he relied on Feeling...
Cough, Analysis was sometimes not as reliable as Feeling.
If Gin was too lazy to confirm, just harbored Suspicion, and then heard Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s words, it would be a bit Suspicious of Intentionally Misleading and Cover-up.
...
The next day, afternoon, the Weather was hot.
In a remote Warehouse, the Door creaked open.
A Woman wearing a purple Skirt and slender High Heels poked her Head in, looked at the Containers piled high inside, hesitated and entered, "Miss Noriko, what do you need me for? Miss Noriko? Are you there? Miss No..."
"Sorry," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was wearing the same purple Skirt, with a Hat on her Head, the brim of the Hat lowered, blocking most of her Face, and walked out with a Pistol pointed at the Woman, "Miss Kazumi Oshima, we are looking for you."
"You..." Kazumi Oshima was startled, just took a step back when she felt the cold Muzzle pressed against her Back, and immediately Stop.
Behind her, a hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded, "Where is the Place where Eguchi Noriko hoards Cash?"
Kazumi Oshima's Face turned pale, she tilted her Head slightly, and could only see the black corner of the Clothes of the person behind her. Not daring to move rashly, she said in a trembling voice, "I, I Don't Know..."
"Where do you think it would be?" Chi Feichei asked again.
Kazumi Oshima hesitated a little.
"Miss Kazumi," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) raised her Head slightly, under the brim of her Hat, her Eyes carried a hint of Coldness, "You betrayed them, they will indeed not let you go, but now it's a choice between death and escape, I believe you will make a wise choice."
"I really don't know," Kazumi Oshima said quickly, "However, I know Miss Noriko's other Residences..."
All of Eguchi Noriko's Residences, Eguchi Noriko's Personality, Eguchi Noriko's usual habits, the Addresses of her relatives...
Faced with the threat of death, Kazumi Oshima answered every question and spilled everything she knew like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, "That's all I know... Can, can you please let me go?"
Chi Feichei took two steps back, raised the Muzzle, aimed at the Woman's Back Heart, and pulled the Trigger without hesitation.
For this kind of person who takes advantage of other Girls in a foreign country and uses black Factions to force them into prostitution, he wouldn't have a Burst of Justice and play some kind of using violence to control violence, but when Action was needed, he wouldn't be soft-hearted.
Just treat them as paper figures in Manga, and it's fine...
Bang—
The Muzzle of the Beretta 92F with a Silencer attached emitted a trace of Firelight.
The Woman looked down, looked at the bright red spreading on her purple Skirt, her pupils shrank, and she quickly Reached Out to cover it, but couldn't stop the passing of Life, and fell to the Ground.
Outside, the Sun was scorching hot, but inside the Warehouse, it was very cool.
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) suppressed the Coldness rising in her Heart, put away her Gun and walked forward, pretending to regret, "What a Pity, such a beauty..."
From beginning to end, the young blonde and blue-eyed Face opposite her didn't have a trace of Emotion fluctuation, even her Gaze was as calm as ever, as if the one who fell before her Eyes was not a Life, but just a model.
Although in order to continue lurking, when encountering this kind of person, she would also take Action without hesitation, compared to innocents, solving this kind of person had much less psychological burden, but she could never Performance this 'indifference' that permeated from her bones.
In terms of not taking Human Life seriously, Raki was no worse than Gin...
Chi Feichei lowered his Head to Check his Clothes. Taking two steps back just now was also to avoid Blood Stain splashing on his Clothes. Hearing this, he glanced at Rena Mizunashi (Kir), turned around, and left the Warehouse.
It was good that these Words were said by a Woman, if a Man said such emotional Words to a Corpse, it would be too much like a Playboy.
After leaving the Warehouse, the two left the Alley and got into a black Car on the deserted Street Outside.
After the Car drove a distance, Chi Feichei pressed the Detonator, and a booming explosion suddenly came from behind the distant buildings.
Cleaning up Traces would take a lot of Time, it was better to blow it up if possible.
There were no Surveillance Cameras on the nearby Street sections. By the Time the Police dispatched, extinguished the Fire, found the Corpse, and confirmed the Identity of the Corpse, they would have Finished long ago.
Chi Feichei drove the Car, found a hidden Place near Kabukicho to park, helped Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Disguise as Kazumi Oshima, took out his Mobile Phone to Check the Time, and reminded, "Withdraw within five Hours."
"Understood!" Rena Mizunashi (Kir) responded crisply, got out of the Car, straightened her Skirt, and left calmly.
Chi Feichei also drove the Car away from the Place.
When Time was almost up, he would come over to pick up Rena Mizunashi (Kir) again, to prevent Rena Mizunashi (Kir) from having an Accident and no one to respond.
This Car was applied for from the Organization three Days ago. The Price was average, the appearance was average, and it had a License Plate, but his Identity couldn't be found based on the License Plate. It arrived today.
His Lexus was too conspicuous and not Suitable for driving during Actions.
After driving around the periphery of Kabukicho and familiarizing himself with the terrain, Chi Feichei just drove the Car back to a temporary Safe House he had prepared last Time when he received a Phone Call from Mori Kogoro.
"Hello, Teacher..."
