"Boss, oden for three."

"Come on!"

The red curtain was lifted, and the stall owner in a white chef's hat met his eyes with a smile on his face, but after seeing the first glance of the three people sitting in, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

The owner of the oden stall can be regarded as well-informed, a mobile food truck roams the streets of Tokyo, what scene has he never seen in a hundred battles? The guests who came to eat at his place included drunken office workers, aid girls who had stumbled, and even groups of rioters, but this was the first time he had seen this meeting.

Three young men dressed in pitch black and with black faces sat down in the stall without saying a word, each of them from the root of their ears to their foreheads, and there was no white place to be seen on their whole faces, and their bodies were filled with a strong smell of smoke.

"Guest, this is... Just off work? The stall owner brought three black porcelain plates that were very suitable for the situation, and put them in front of the three of them, and asked tentatively.

"Hmm." One of them, faintly visible from his black features, nodded his head in response.

The stall owner was a little puzzled, I didn't hear that there was a coal kiln here in Shinjuku, but I heard that there was a black coal kiln under a certain women's college to stun female college students digging coal, could it be that these three escaped from it? But there's only one woman out of three.

"A cold beer." The girl with black blonde hair coughed twice, but in English, and the stall owner didn't understand it for a while.

"Two cold beers." The man on the right spoke in an authentic Tokyo dialect.

"And a bottle of juice." The younger boy spoke, and his accent was inexplicably a little Osaka.

"Okay, here we go." Despite his confusion, the stall owner chose to ignore this strange scene and turned to the backstage to prepare for a drink. Now it's just three coal kiln workers getting off work and eating oden and drinking cold beer together, which is very reasonable!

"I feel like we're digging coal." In front of the stall, Mandy stared at the reflection in the tea cup, 'Ann can tell that I am male and female', her face full of sadness.

"Don't feel it." Ryoichi Okubo took a calm sip of tea: "The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating suspicious people two blocks away, and we'd better be treated as coal diggers now." ”

"I want to kill the bomber's family." Lin Nian silently poured the tea on the tissue and wiped his face.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and finally sighed in unison.

Ten minutes earlier, a time bomb had exploded in a building in Ichiban Street, Kabukicho, shattering a gas pipeline and causing another fire, from which the three of them escaped.

In the first five seconds of the explosion, Mandy wanted to take the box to the corridor and throw it far away, and Lin Nian stopped Mandy's behavior that was likely to kill him, and the two of them did not hesitate to expand a field with a diameter of three meters, and when the fire filled every corner of the office, the spirit of the word called 'Dustless Land' had been released, and the heat, shock waves, and flames were all blocked, which saved the three of them from the tragedy of being washed by the bomb.

If it was just a simple explosion, of course the three of them would not be so embarrassed, the problem was troublesome in the explosion caused a natural gas leak and ignited the entire floor, most of the above third floor are folk customs, there are many people in the family at this point, the fire will inevitably lead to innocent people being trapped, and the three of them had to be firefighters temporarily, constantly saving people in the fire, this coal kiln face is smoked out when saving people.

"I thought the danger to Tokyo in the Conan theatrical version was just an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be true." Mandy straightened her beautiful blonde hair that was burned into a scumbag and wanted to cry without tears.

"Usually the tasks we usually deal with don't have gunfights and... Explosive. The more Ryoichi spoke, the more he felt that his explanation was pale, and today he seemed to have been slapped in the face more than once.

"And a bottle to smash your head." Mandy which pot does not open which pot to mention.

"I was tempted to say it was an accident, but it looks like I'm wrong." Ryoichi gasped slightly.

"I don't mean to question the prestige of my family, I just want to know which the bomb is sent by the seniors, do you have a clue?" Lin Nian took out a few more tissues and handed them to Mandy and asked Xiang Liangyi.

"I didn't have time to think too much about the critical situation at that time, but when I was rescuing people in the fire, I sorted out my thoughts and probably understood what kind of situation we are in now." Ryoichi rinsed his mouth with tea, took a skewer of meatballs from the soup pot and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing expressionlessly.

"Do you know where the murderer came from?" Lin Nian asked.

"Pretty much." Ryoichi swallowed the meatballs and picked up another meat skewer, and it seemed that the consumption of open words in the fire was not small: "But if my guess is correct, we will probably be in big trouble in the future." ”

Speaking of this, it took a long time, and both Manti and Lin Nian felt the solemnity of this and a few seconds and waited for the rest of the text, and then he hammered his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Swallow it..."

"Ahem, ahem," Mandy choked on beer and coughed.

"I remember seeing the spirit of the 'dustless place' in the textbook, the sequence position is very high, and the consumption is indeed very large, slowly eat and recover your strength, the Metropolitan Police Department will probably not be able to find us here for a while, right? After all, if something so big happens, your family should have received the news. Lin Nian handed the cold bottle of beer that the stall owner had put on the table to Ryoichi.

"Specifically, the law enforcement officers of our family have arrived at the scene at this time, and the nature of this explosion is extremely bad, and most of our family will think that the case itself is related to the mixed race." Ryoichi opened his beer, took a sip and exhaled.

"And what about the facts?" Lin Nian took a bunch of shrimp dumplings and dipped them in yellow mustard: "The gunmen in the office before should have been ordinary people, at least until the final interrogation stage, they didn't show any characteristics of half-bloods - except for the team leader who didn't show up." ”

"The problem probably lies with the team leader." Liang nodded: "The organization of the Qingfang Group can now be determined to be a group of grass platform teams that have been temporarily piled up, unorganized and undisciplined, with supplies in their hands and peddling everywhere, they rely on sufficient ammunition. ”

As he spoke, Ryoichi pulled out a crumpled brown paper bag from his arms, and a black pistol wrapped in it could be seen from the perspective of Lin Nian and Mandy.

"The MP-443 pistol with a capacity of 17 rounds, AKA Black Crow, is produced in Russia and is now widely used in the equipment of special forces, and the common smuggling arms in the underworld are just outdated Russian-style Makarov pistols, this new type of ordnance is not to mention domestic, even if it is a first-class contraband in Russia, this thing is not at all a new organization can get it." Ryoichi said lightly.

"The magazine is still an extended version, and it is very well made." Mandy took the gun under the table and fiddled with it: "I remember that the instructor of the school's engineering department in the academy said that this kind of extended magazine can only be obtained in a military factory with strict processes. ”

Liang nodded: "The Qingfang Group does seem to be just a cover, I thought it was just a few fledgling half-breeds who wanted to play the drama of dominating the underworld, but now it seems that the water behind it is much deeper than I thought, standing behind the Qingfang Group is a whole huge organization... In other words, the entire Qingfang Group is just a façade fabricated by that organization, and it is used to trick the three of us into coming to the door, and it doesn't matter to them whether the Qingfang Group is destroyed or not, as long as it can attract the three of us to deal with it, it has already achieved its goal. ”

"Attract 'the three of us' to the door? I thought this terrorist attack was directed against my family... What's more, who dares to target you Snake Eight Family? Lin Nian was stunned for a moment, his mouth was stuffed with fish plates, it was a little difficult to swallow, compared to the dustless land, the consumption of an instant was not low, he had used an instant shuttle in the flames more than once in the fire field to save people.

"That's what I thought at the beginning, it's not like no one in Japan can wrestle with us — it's not even a wrestling wrist, and it's more accurate to say that you use a stumbling block." Ryoichi said, "That organization is said to have existed for more than a few decades, but few people in the family know about their existence, and I don't know why the heads of the eight families have uniformly concealed the existence of the fierce ghosts, even if I only learned about it during a recent meeting in the upper echelons of the Inuyama family." ”

"An organization that can stumble with the family?" Lin Nian stopped eating oden and realized the seriousness of the problem, and Mandy on the side was also stunned with a mouth full of kelp.

"The name of this group is 'The Fierce Ghosts', and more than seventy percent of its members are dangerous hybrids." Ryoichi said calmly, and the bubbles in the oden pot swelled and exploded, and the gurgling sound continued.

"Fierce ghosts? I haven't heard of it, big brother! Seventy percent of the members are dangerous mixed-race, how long has this kind of organization been in Japan? "Maybe I've been under the command of the secret party in Europe for a long time, Mandy is a little unbelievable that the situation in Japan is so serious, and the three or two dangerous half-breeds in the department are already considered high-risk matters that seriously endanger the rule of the secret party, and there is actually a terrorist organization here that has been entrenched under the nose of the family for decades?!

"I was also shocked when I first received the news, and I also asked the leader of Yilong why his family did not launch a holy war against the fierce ghosts and completely pay them off, and the answer that the leader gave me was that the head of the orange family above had never made up his mind, and the war would be bloody. The Honke are unsure of the true size of the Oni Clan, and they cannot estimate the extent of the blood losses after the war, but once the Honke family loses a lot of money in the war, and the entire Japanese underworld will usher in an unprecedented shock, and tens of thousands of people will die on the streets, and the order of Tokyo will most likely revert to the chaotic era of the Edo period, when ronins were rampant. Ryoichi explained softly.

"Are you sure it's the 'Fierce Ghosts' who did it to us?" Lin Nian confirmed.

"Remember that mask in the box?" Ryoichi whispered, "It is said that the leader of the demons, the guy nicknamed 'Wang Jiang', wears a mask like a demon on his face all the time. ”

Lin Nian silently ate oden and thought for a while before asking: "But I still have that question, you just said that the Qingfang group was a pretext to deceive the three of us to come to the door... Why 'The Three of Us'? Even if the person who started it was the fierce ghosts, but as far as you said about the never-ending hostile relationship between this organization and the family, can't it be just like what you said before, this is all an accident, and we were unlucky to receive this mission to encounter this explosion and ambush? ”

"I know your concerns, no one wants to be targeted by a bunch of crazy people... But the word 'fortunate to be here' on that mask already had a lot of meaning, but it was true that it was probably just a playful ploy to make fun of any hapless law enforcer who arrived at the scene and saw the mask. Liang said expressionlessly: "At first, I also thought that all this was an accident, because the distribution of tasks within the family is completely random, and no one can know what task we are taking today, unless there is an internal ghost, but this is unlikely... But it wasn't until I saw a map in the office of the Qingfang Group that I was completely sure that the other party was waiting for the three of us to come to the door. ”

"Maps?"

"A map marked with a red marker." Ryoichi said, "That's the detailed layout of Tokyo, and I've circled several addresses on it. ”

Lin Nian raised his head suddenly, only to see Ryoichi also looking at him and slowly bowing his head: "Narita Airport, Tamamo former Club, Qingfang Group Office, the Park Hyatt Hotel where you stay, and Shinjuku, three places that I am relatively unfamiliar with and can't call landmark buildings." ”

"Four out of seven locations are related to you, it's hard a coincidence, to be precise, this attack is most likely aimed at the two of you who are visiting Japan!" Ryoichi said in a deep voice: "... I'm afraid you've been eyed from the moment you get off the plane. ”

Lin Nian and Mandy were silent in an instant, and there was a dead silence in the oden stall.

Ryoichi quietly took a few sips of cold beer before asking, "What do you think?" Do you want to go back to your home and apply for protection from other law enforcement officers? ”

"No, I want to find them and talk about them well, he somehow blew me up in the face and there has to be an explanation." Lin Nian said.

Well, let's talk about it.

Ryoichi didn't speak, took another sip of beer and looked at Mandy.

"I'm wondering if my more than 50 kilograms can be transported back to the academy alive." Mandy swallowed and said.

Compared with the domineering 'S' class, the 'B' class student is very unambitious, she is almost shocked by this speech, she can't eat the food, and the beer is not happy, and she feels like a man in front of the stall.

Targeted by a terrorist group whose members are suspected to be 70% of their members of dangerous mixed races? The creepiest thing in her life is nothing more than being targeted by the stalker at school! How can He De, an otaku girl who is fishing and making fun in class, chasing dramas and eating and drinking after class, suffer such treatment!

"This bomb attack is mostly just a 'greeting gift', if they really want to kill us, the box bomb should be made as a trigger, not a timer, if we are late, the office will also be bombed into the sky, and we will realize that someone is targeting us." Ryoichi said as he stared at the oden on the plate.

"In other words, those seven people are going to die... It's really arrogant and lawless. Lin Nian also gradually sorted out a lot of doubts in the explosion case and said coldly: "Greet us with seven lives, this 'fierce ghost' is really magnanimous." ”

"I'm wondering why the Grim Guys are targeting you." Liang tapped his finger on the table: "There are so many important people in power in this family, why are they eyeing you?" Are they trying to kill you and provoke conflicts between your own family and your own department? ”

"The most important question is what the other party is going to do to us next rather than why us, right?" Lin Nian rubbed the handle of the short knife hidden in his sleeve.

"It's all blown up, what else can they do, another bombing? I've eaten enough of the ashes. Mandy made a bitter face and held a string of oden in her left hand and right hand: "Narita Airport is where we got off the plane, Tamamo former club is where the head of the Inuyama family received us, the Seibo Group office has been blown up, where else is it being circled?" ”

"Three places I can't name and the Park Hyatt where you're staying." Ryoichi said.

"Then they won't be mad and even blow up a five-star hotel, right?" Mandy slammed the table angrily: "How much makeup remover do I have to use with this black face mixed with makeup, use bombs as a greeting gift, they kind of blow up all the places in the circle!" ”

Lin Nian and Liang were stunned for a moment, looked up at each other, didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a little stagnant.

"You just said that the tasks issued by the family are basically impossible to leak, right..."Lin Nian asked in a low voice.

"Yes..."Ryoichi's face was also a little abnormal, because he guessed what Lin Nian wanted to say.

"So... How many tasks in this area of Shinjuku may we have to deal with at the same time tonight? ”

"When you're busy, you're probably going to have it at the same time... Three or four pieces? ”

Mandy was stunned for a moment, turned her head and saw the strange expressions of the two, and sighed in her heart, and understood what the two meant: "... You're not going to be serious, are you? My makeup and clothes bag are still in my hotel suitcase. ”

Lin Nian and Liangyi got up suddenly, took out a large bill and slapped it on the table, turned around and left, and Mandy behind him also let out an unpleasant scream, jumped up and jumped out.
