Regardless of the attitude of the outside government organizations and ordinary people towards cult groups, this has nothing to do with me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You infiltrated the interior of some cult groups, and found that there were behind-the-scenes forces behind several groups, and then what?" I continued to ask.

"No," he shrugged, "I can't go any further on my own." ”

Seeing that his bad attitude had lost the caution and humility he had in the face of the "Legendary Master" at the beginning, I couldn't help but say offendedly, "You guys and Nazlin can't be of the same race, right?" ”

"It doesn't feel like a good thing...... Edogawa absorbed the remaining tobacco in two or two strokes, extinguished the second cigarette butt, and then sat with his elbows on the edge of the sofa with his hands folded in front of his chest, "Although I can't do anything about continuing the investigation, I still found out a lot of superficial things." ”

"I don't mind letting you taste the magical skills of the legendary master when I play the language game of outsiders again!"

"I'm kind of convinced that you're not that old...... Okay I'll continue, don't be angry, "His behavior when he doesn't smoke is almost the same as that of an ordinary middle-aged uncle in literary works, is this person really a monster?" "After going through more than a dozen underground orders with different styles, I locked on four of them, and used four faces to mix with the four small orders that were ostensibly not subordinate to each other, and there seemed to be no connection between the leader of each order and the leader's assistant, but," Uncle Edogawa subconsciously put his finger close to his mouth, and immediately realized that he was not smoking, and put it down stupidly, "I found the same person in the collective activities of the four orders, that person should be an ordinary human being, but he has contact with the leaders of the four groups, At least four of the group leaders were polite enough to the man. ”

"Do you suspect this person is the liaison of some behind-the-scenes organization controlling the four Orders?"

"Almost," he nodded, "the liaison is just an ordinary human, and the reason why I realized that the organization behind the liaison may not be an ordinary mortal organization, but also the items that the leader of the Order gave to the contact. Once or twice a week, the liaison contacted each order, usually at a meeting place organized by the order, and he was not shy about being seen by the faithful, and I even once saw him 'teach' the faithful on behalf of a preacher who had left for a while. ”

"Lectures?" My mind was distracted by these two words, "Ahem, let's talk about the items handed over." ”

"There's such a thing as teaching...... "Some of the leaders of the Orders sometimes hand over certain items to the contacts who come to them in front of the believers, and they declare to the followers that the liaison is a messenger sent by the gods, and that the status is equal to that of the leader of the order, and if the believers present the messengers with the treasures collected in their own homes, they will receive the blessings of the gods." ”

"And what you turn in is what the believers have?"

"For the most part, if the leaders of the Order collect some strange antiquities, they will also give them to the liaison with great fanfare and solemnity."

"There should be treasures in these items that can be used by cultivators who may be circulating in ordinary people's homes, right?"

"That's right, so I guess there must be non-ordinary people in the behind-the-scenes organization, whether it's a demon or a more mysterious cultivator...... I can't ask. ”

"You said that the contact person is an ordinary person, and it shouldn't be difficult to track an ordinary person, right?" As long as it's not an ordinary person like an apricot child, it's perceptive.

"This person is indeed easy to follow," Edogawaichi's face did not express the slightest hint of gratification at the ease of the other person's tracking, "but he is also only a middleman." ”

"What do you mean...... What do you think is the organization behind the scenes that doesn't have direct contact with him? ”

"Yes, items received by the liaison from the Order are usually sent to an irregular transit point via an intra-city courier channel, while antiques that are confirmed to be of high value are delivered directly to another consignee sent by the organization behind the scenes."

"I suppose the consignee is a powerful person you can't deal with, right?"

"Yes, the first time I tracked the contact person to hand over the items, I was found by the consignee a few buildings away, and it was not easy to get rid of the consignee's counter-pursuit...... The second time, the other party set a mana trap, and if I hadn't been observant, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to sit here and talk to Miss Fran. ”

"Is it all luck to run away...... If it were you who met Kenmochi and Kumayoshi tonight, do you think you can handle them? "I have a very private question.

"If I encounter a sudden attack by a magic weapon, I'm sure I can't block the onslaught of that illusory monster, if those two don't have a follow-up means, I probably have the possibility of resisting the monster with one or two blows and escaping with serious injuries, but they have a follow-up......"

By my standards, Uncle Edogawa's life-saving ability should be average, "What if they don't raid with magic weapons?" ”

"Kenmochi and Kumayoshi...... They didn't use any other skills," he touched his head, "I can't win the two of them, as long as they don't cooperate desperately to use that secret technique, I don't think it will be difficult to escape the scene after a round or two." ”

"In this way, the consignee you met is at least much more powerful than Kenmochi and Kumayoshi combined."

"I haven't done anything yet, but at least it feels like this."

"In addition to tracking contacts, you should have tried tracking city delivery channels, right?"

"The express channel is much more complicated, and it is precisely because of the investigation of the whereabouts of the express that I know that I cannot continue the in-depth investigation with the power of one person."

Then he slowly recounted the results of his investigation.

The internal logistics system of Tokyo is extremely developed, and it is several hundred kilometers away from the customs streets that are stronger than the internal logistics of Kappa Heavy Industries.

The Tokyo cult group controlled by the behind-the-scenes organization may be far more than the four infiltrated by Edogawa Ichi, and due to the limitation of information, we can only look at these four cults, and Edogawa Ichi found from the express delivery channels of the four cults that the courier companies commonly used by the four cults are not the same, but four different ones; after his in-depth investigation, it can be seen that the four companies do not have any abnormal relationship with the cult itself that goes beyond business relations, that is to say, the four courier companies should not be subordinate companies of the cult group.

But after painstakingly tracking down the items sent by the four groups, Edogawaichi found a common denominator.

"They didn't go to the same place, but they were signed by different companies registered by the same person."

“？” So far, I can barely understand it, but I am also troubled by the complexity of external affairs, so I am very humble and ask without understanding.

"The liaison is very careful, except for those antiquities that are directly judged to be very valuable or even suspected magic weapons, the items handed in by each order must be handed over through channels that do not overlap with other orders, which shows that the behind-the-scenes organization is extremely vigilant and extremely disciplined," he said, "In fact, I am not sure that the consignee who has met twice by the contact person is the same person, although the appearance is the same twice." ”

"What else? The one who registered a different company? ”

"The point, of course, is that person, that person's external identity is easy to ascertain, because he did not deliberately hide it, and even has a little fame," the decadent middle-aged uncle took two sips of his wine glass - this kind of appetizing malaise seems to be common in serious adult comics - and continued, "Fujiwara Togo, a famous merchant in the Southeast Asian antique world, ah, you probably haven't heard of it, in fact, I didn't hear of it a month ago." ”

"......" Fujiwara's surname is really flooded enough.

"But that doesn't prevent me from ascertaining his reputation, it's true anyway."

"What the hell is wrong with this person? He's a youkai too? Collusion with the behind-the-scenes organizations of cult groups? ”
