"A glass of honey water." On the dance floor bar of the nightclub, Ryoichi put down his wine glass and exhaled as he looked up at the brightly lit glass ceiling.

"Don't you have to continue with the same thing?" The bartender was a beautiful young girl, probably a student in her face, and she looked at Ryoichi with a smile on her work apron and wiping her glass.

"No, you don't." Ryoichi grabbed a straw from nowhere and stirred the remaining ice cubes in his glass, making a noise.

It's already five o'clock in the morning, and even if there is a bustling nightclub, there will be signs of closing, and the nightclub where Ryoichi is staying at this time is no exception, the young men and women on the dance floor have already been lying dead in the booth with bottles, either snoring or squirming, the heavy rock in the nightclub has switched to soothing piano music, and the bubbles floating in the exhibition fish tank are much more lazy.

The barmaid was so skilled that she used a shaker even for a glass of honey water, and she slid all sorts of colorful liquids into it, shook it in a fancy way, and finally poured it into a glass and pushed it off the marble bar to Ryoichi.

"Your honey water, in order to understand the high efficiency of wine, also specially added a little more fructose." The bartender sat down in her chair and smiled and said her intention to get some honey water.

"Thank you." Ryoichi took the cup and took a sip, the high sweetness really lifted his spirits a lot.

"I said, since I have work the next day, why do you come to drink so late?" The bartender looked at Ryoichi, who was taking a sip of mead, and asked.

"Work is very important, so I wake up early, and when I don't have anything to do, I can only drink." Ryoichi replied casually.

"Why not drink it at home? I want to come to a place like a nightclub at a time like this. ”

"I don't have the alcohol I want to drink at home." Ryoichi doesn't hate chatting with bartenders over drinks, and almost every nightclub bartender is very talkative, and if you want to be a top bartender, you probably need to take a counseling certificate first.

The bartender looked Liang up and down carefully, and suddenly asked, "You're not much older than me, aren't you?" Why would someone your age do this? ”

Liang glanced at the bartender, and caught a glimpse of herself reflected on the mirror wall of the wine cabinet, dressed in a black suit lined with buttons, with a white shirt with a button, her hair combed meticulously, a pair of pale yellow glasses on her face, and a little bit of color in the collar of the shirt.

"How can a student of your age work a night shift in such a place?" Ryoichi chose to answer the question with questions.

"I'm 18 years old, under 15 years old under the labor law, isn't it normal for me to go to work to support myself?" The bartender smiled and shrugged, playing with the shaker in her hand.

"You're very skilled at playing with a shaker, but you always have to get your shoes wet when you walk by the river, and you don't look like a girl who is used to going barefoot." Ryoichi said.

"I'm working here with my boyfriend, and he'll protect me if there's anything." The bartender chuckled.

"But I didn't see your boyfriend."

"He went home from work first." The women's bar diverted the topic: "It's you, you're about the same age as me, right?" 21？ 22？ How can you do this kind of work at this age? Do you boys like to fight and kill? ”

"Sometimes it's not that you are willing to live a life of fighting and killing, but that you can only live by fighting and killing." Maybe I drank too much wine before, but Ryoichi talked a little too much tonight.

"Aren't you just pretending to be brave and ruthless? Why do you need to get up so early to get ready for work? Are you going..."The bartender whispered a little bit with her thumb and forefinger, and then lowered her hand to look at the wine glass that had been drunk by Ryoichi on the bar before: "That's why you're drinking now?" ”

"How can there be so many shootings, now it is a society governed by the rule of law, even the yakuza know that daggers are used for slashing and not for stabbing when fighting." Liangyi shook his head: "What we do is not only fighting, killing, and killing, we will do whatever the boss wants." ”

"Sitting in a nightclub at five o'clock in the morning drinking, and I didn't dare to drink too much, I had to drink honey to relieve my hangover... Your task seems to be tangled, huh? Do you not like the task but have to do it? The bartender asked.

Ryoichi was slightly stunned, and glanced at the bartender more, as if he was guessing whether the girl was studying at a university majoring in psychology, because the other party guessed that it was not far from ten.

"It's just going to pick up someone, like the girl in your nightclub, reluctant but for a living." Ryoichi thought about it and only said something innocuous and could not help but laugh at himself in the end.

"If you don't want to go, don't go, I think your boss will definitely sympathize with you."

"It's not that simple." Ryoichi said lightly, "If there was a better option, you wouldn't sit here and risk being molested by a drunk guest with a student's salary." ”

"If someone flirts with me, my boyfriend will definitely blow them up!" The bartender waved her fist.

"Your boyfriend isn't here." Ryoichi said: "This kind of job should be quit as soon as possible, the nightclubs on this street are not very clean, and the ones with a clear foundation are on the side of Hachiban Street, and it is estimated that your boss will call you to his office after a while." ”

"How do you know my boss called me..."The bartender subconsciously looked up at Ryoichi.

Ryoichi was also stunned for a moment, but just took a sip of honey water in a soft voice.

"Hey, don't get me wrong! I'm not stupid, of course I can make a lot of money if I go, but this goes against my original intention, and I don't want to get ahead in this way. The bartender saw that Ryoichi didn't speak and immediately explained.

"I won't say anything, as long as I can get ahead, what I do is my own choice, and I decide the path I want to take." Ryoichi's expression was flat: "It's better to prove yourself yourself, or if someone else grants you the opportunity to lick your face, at least you still have the right to choose, and those who don't even have the right to choose when they encounter this kind of thing are the saddest." ”

So that's why I don't give up and come to the nightclub in the early morning to try my luck, isn't it? Liang Yi thought.

There are many ways to get ahead, he has always insisted on the path he wants, constantly completing tasks that even the Executive Board would have a headache for, proving his strength and strength, but what about now? Don't you have to give up everything you think you value and prepare to curry favor with a child you have never met in order to gain your own future? This way of proving yourself is not the same as I thought at the beginning... Maybe compared to the bartender, he is a poor person who really has no choice.

"Maybe that's why my boyfriend doesn't want to see me lately." The bartender sighed: "I didn't explain this matter to him clearly, even if there was a conflict, I was mainly to blame..."

Ryoichi only listened to half a sentence and didn't want to listen to it anymore, he didn't have much interest in caring about a bartender's self-pity for her emotional life, and the time on his phone showed that it was not too early.

At 6 o'clock this morning, he needs to arrive at Narita Airport in Chiba on time, even if there is plenty of time, but as a shallow but entrusted with important tasks, it is basic etiquette to arrive early.

In order to receive the Inuyama family this time, it can be said that all the people were dispatched, and the convoy was like a driving show, and the Metropolitan Police Department had also greeted them in advance, and the police calls from Narita Airport would be stranded, so there would be no accidents that would spoil the mood of the commissioner of the headquarters.

The most luxurious cabaret street in Shinjuku is greeted by a 24-hour entertainment industry from this morning until tomorrow, just so that guests from the headquarters can walk to Shinjuku Street to experience a variety of customs and culture, and today the entire Tokyo customs industry will have to sell the Inuyama family a face, and show the most business smile to the 16-year-old boy who has never met before.

16 years old? What can a 16 year old boy do? In this country where everyone needs to drink alcohol is 21 years old, it is a problem to buy a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine at the age of 16, Ryoichi sneered in his heart, and what is even more ridiculous is that his task is to take care of this 16-year-old boy closely, 'S' class? Even if it's an 'S' class, at the age of 16, you probably only know how to drill into the maid café in Akihabara, right?

Liangyi was drinking honey water while thinking about his own affairs, during which the bartender was still talking to herself, mostly talking about her boyfriend, saying how dissatisfied she was with her work, listening to Liangyi was a little irritable, at least the other party still had a choice, you can open your legs in front of the boss or close your legs and walk away, but what about yourself?

"Then divide it." Ryoichi interrupted the bartender's chatter, he thought that this girl was born to do this business, chatting can dry people's saliva, force people to order something too expensive to drink, if her boyfriend dumps her one day, it must be because of her unstoppable mouth.

"You're so ruthless, are the people of the underworld as ruthless as you? Or is it that only ruthless people can join the underworld. The bartender sighed.

"I've never been in a relationship and don't know much about these things, and no one likes to talk about these things with people in our business." Ryoichi reached out his wallet, took out a few bills, and threw them on the bar.

"Actually, he broke up with me yesterday." The bartender sighed: "Maybe it was because I went to the office to meet the boss that he misunderstood, no matter how I explained, he didn't listen, probably because he thought that a girl like me, who often works in nightclubs, could give up the opportunity to get ahead... In the past few days, he also met another girl in a nightclub, and they have been chatting happily, and last night they decided to go home together on a date..."

"Oh." Ryoichi's reaction was very flat, and he got up from the bar and was about to leave, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned his head and asked, "Have you seen the woman you kidnapped your boyfriend?" ”

"Are you trying to ask her if she's good-looking?" The bartender smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's good-looking, with a melon seed face, short hair, and a tear mole." ”

Ryoichi was stunned, and after hearing these descriptions, his face suddenly became grim: "Is your name Mieko?" ”

"You know? It can't be your girlfriend," the bartender was a little stunned.

The blind cat meets the dead mouse.

Ryoichi didn't expect that the purposeful haunting of various nightclubs actually made him find the clue to the murder of a man living alone at this time.

"Your boyfriend lives alone? Living in a rental house? Ryoichi asked quickly.

"It's... How do you know? ”

"Do you know the address?" Ryoichi reached out for his phone.

"Mr. Underworld, you're not always trying to help me out, are you?" The bartender suddenly looked at Ryoichi with a smile: "I don't really care... If he dumps me, I'll dump me, and I won't be willing to fall into the boss's office or something... It's a big deal to change to a convenience store to work as a temporary worker, although you earn very little, but at least you don't have to be rubbed with oil. ”

"Even if your boyfriend brings back a dangerous murderer, doesn't it matter?"

"Huh?" The bartender was stunned.

"Name." Ryoichi frowned, and his face was a little unpleasant.

"Kazuko Misa." The frightened bartender replied subconsciously.

"I mean your boyfriend's name, how old is it."

"Morishita Shuzhong, I'm about the same age..."

"I'm the same age as you, I live alone, and I often go to nightclubs." Ryoichi frowned: "It's really in line with the other party's appetite..."

"What do you mean by murderer?" The bartender was a little anxious by the atmosphere.

"Literally, it looks like your boyfriend is out of luck." Ryoichi said: "I really don't know if it's bad luck or bad luck, now go to your boyfriend's solitary place and maybe have a chance to try it, although there is little hope, but..."

Ryoichi looked down at the time on his phone.

However, now that this is the point, he doesn't seem to have the leisure time to take care of the work of the Executive Board, and now it is inevitable that he can rush over to the other side of the Executive Board as soon as possible, right?

"What a problem for me." Ryoichi whispered.

The convoy that greeted the Inuyama family must have already rushed to the airport, right? He is also the most important part of the pick-up, compared to a murderer in Shinjuku, the 'S' class darling to greet the principal is the most important thing, after all, so many people in Tokyo will not affect the operation of the city, even if Ryoichi goes, he may not be able to save people, and even anger the head of the Inuyama family will be severely punished.

Now living in front of Liangyi has two choices, either to seek stability, immediately abandon this matter, get in a car and rush to the airport, and complete his dream of getting ahead; Or be stunned, try to save the boyfriend in front of the female bartender who was abducted by a dangerous half-breed, and complete the case that he has been investigating to prove himself, but what benefits will not be obtained, and it is very likely that he will release the pigeon of the owner of the Inuyama family and be expelled from the house?

Just because of a momentary temperament to do something that has no return, and a chance to easily get ahead as long as you take a leg, this kind of multiple-choice question will be done by anyone, okay?

After all, he is mixed up, and he has to explain to the head of the family and the team leader, and he can get such an important thing as picking up the principal's baby students, no matter how much he says.

The time on the phone showed 5:30, and Liang Yi glanced at the ice bucket and skate blade behind the bar, but he had his own plan in his heart.

*

It was six o'clock in the morning.

The morning glow reflected in the sky, Sleipnir broke through the black clouds and slid towards the runway of Narita Airport, and the open space around the runway was full of black luxury cars, and the solemn-looking old men in black suits stood at the front, and the men in black on both sides of the back lined up These are the elite cadres of the Inuyama family, and today they put down all affairs just to welcome the distinguished guests on the black giant eagle.

The head of the Inuyama family looked up at the Sleipnir landing strip and began to slide, and behind him, a girl with a refreshing face and a kendo girl's ponytail stood holding an umbrella, and a few raindrops from dozens of minutes ago were flowing on the umbrella.

"Yilong, hasn't that kid of yours arrived yet?" The head of the Inuyama family looked at Sleipnir in the distance, who was gradually slowing down, and behind him, Yoshitaka Hasegawa, who was dressed in formal clothes, leaned over and whispered, "I called ten minutes ago, and he said that he would definitely arrive before six o'clock." ”

"Education is not in place." The head of the Inuyama family shook his head slightly.

"Ryoichi didn't arrive at this time, it should be that there was some mistake on the road, usually he is a cautious and attentive person... This mistake is all the fault of Elan, and it will be strictly disciplined in the future. Hasegawa Yoshitaka's old face was tight, and a drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

"There is no room for mistakes in this matter, otherwise it will lose the face of the entire family." The head of the Inuyama family said lightly.

"Hey." Yoshitaka Hasegawa answered.

At this time, someone in black ran at the end of the road, and when he reached the back of Yoshitaka Hasegawa and the head of the Inuyama family, he stopped and whispered, "Ryoichi Okubo has arrived..."

"Ryoichi is here?" Yoshitaka Hasegawa suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and looked back, but he didn't see Ryoichi's shadow at a glance, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the man in black who was communicating in front of him, and found that for some reason the other party was holding an ice bucket in his hand.

So he looked inside again, and then froze, and remained silent for a long time.

The head of the Inuyama family under the umbrella noticed the abnormality and glanced back at the ice bucket, only to see that there were countless fresh ice cubes inside, and a few bright red stains were stained on the inner layer of the ice cubes, and the kendo ponytail girl behind him stretched out her hand to flick the ice cubes, revealing a cold left tail finger inside.

"It seems that it won't come for the time being, but it can be regarded as an explanation... Get ready to receive VIPs. The head of the Inuyama family just glanced at it and looked away from the gangway that Sleipnir had lowered in the distance, and behind him, Yoshitaka Hasegawa was sweating with an ice bucket.
