Act Twenty-Three: The Sandalwood-scented Girl with Hair
"Young Master, the situation in Shinjuku Ward is tricky tonight," Sakura's voice was a little hesitant, "The Raven Society and the Fire Hall Group are in conflict, Kabukicho has gathered hundreds of people, and they may go off at any time, the old people of the Strategy Department are divided into two groups to visit the Fire Hall Group and the Swamp Raven Society, and they are trying to calm the situation, so it is not recommended that you and the guests approach Kabukicho at this time."
"Isn't that right? Let the ace commissioners of the headquarters take a look at the real film society. As for safety,......" said Yuan Zhisheng, "who can claim to be the trump card in the secret party, are you still afraid of the thugs with sticks on the streets?"
"Is this a challenge to me?" Caesar's eyes sharpened, and there was a cold smile on his lips.
"Sort of." Gen Zhisheng stretched his body and leaned on the wooden handrail of the figure.
……
……
Premium vans Mercedes on the highway.
At the dinner, Sakura, who was not drinking, was in charge of driving, and Gen Zhisheng sat in the passenger seat, and in the back row was Caesar's group. Sakura looks like a gentle and low-key girl, but she can drive like a race car driver, with heavy vans weaving through the traffic, leaving one car after another behind.
"Your assistant is really good." Caesar exclaimed, the back two rows of windows all open, and the sound could float far and far in the night.
"Boss, let's discuss something." Lu Mingfei also said loudly, otherwise the sound would be blown away by the wind.
"What's the matter?"
"It's just the boss, can you stop saying that other people's assistants are great, very good, beautiful or something, it sounds like you are suspicious of a minotaur......
"Minotaurs? What does that mean?"
Genji and Sakura in the front seat heard this word, and their faces turned dark.
"Does anyone know what that means?" Caesar asked everyone, his curiosity had always been strong, but it seemed a little unnecessary to get up at such times.
"The Roman pinyin abbreviation of the Japanese "寝取られ" (oRaRe) refers to "being forcibly occupied by others' spouse or object", and there is also the saying "Minotaur" because of Chinese pinyin......
"Is that so?" Caesar suddenly realized, and looked up at the source of the explanation, but the latter looked out the window as if he had just spoken out, as if he were not the one who had just spoken out.
"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, because in our Italian concept, if we think a girl is very good, we will praise her directly, and we don't need to think too much."
"It's okay...... In fact, the concept of Oriental people is not as serious as Lu Mingfei said...... It's just that guy Yin has seen too much filthy things, causing him to automatically think over there when he hears something like that."
"It's because you're a kid who thinks too dirty."
Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei with disdain.
"Alright, that's the end of the gossip." Genjio handed a dart from the front row, which Sakura had taken from the map of the Liaison Department, and each dart meant a nuisance that needed to be dealt with.
This dart is inserted in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo's most prestigious red-light district, and where friction is most likely to occur.
"A shop in Shinjuku Ward asked us for help, saying that the yakuza on the street suddenly asked for a 15% increase in the protection fee, and if they didn't agree, they would smash the shop, and the yakuza had been sitting in the store for three days, and no customers dared to come." Yuan Zhisheng said.
"Is such a small matter worth the dispatch of the law enforcement officers of the Eight Snake Clans? It's just a slight change in the rate." Caesar looked a little disappointed, "To be honest, what I want to see is the kind of gangster boss on TV negotiating around a table in front of the shrine with a line of bodyguards standing behind him, or a tense street gang."
"The gang fight is a headache for the elders of the Strategy Department, and it's not as simple as smashing convenience stores," Gen said, "Shinjuku Ward is a bumper harvest of conservation fees, and many nightclubs and bars near Kabukicho pay protection fees on a regular basis, and if the protection fee rates for the entire Shinjuku ward are raised, the gangs will have to collect tens of billions more every year.
"And strip clubs and other venues will have their own bodyguards, and if the bodyguards and the gang clash, there may be deaths and injuries, in short, this is not a trivial matter."
"Yours
Does that mean we're going to rush into one of those nightclubs with short skirts and thighs everywhere? Gangsters sitting on the couch with weapons on the table? Sounds so much more interesting." Caesar snapped his fingers, "Shall we put a gun at the leader's head, hand him a cigarette and say that he will leave through the main entrance after smoking this cigarette, and don't let me see you in Shinjuku from now on, or I will cut off one of your fingers at a time?"
"That's a gang in the second stage of secondary disease," said Gen Zhisheng, "but you do look like you have secondary two disease."
"So what should I do?" Caesar asked rhetorically.
"Usually we don't need any drasticism, we just have to sit down on the couch opposite, and they will know who we are when they see our uniforms."
"Then shake hands and make a noise, read according to the script, and tell them that if they want to change the rate according to the rules, they will meet and discuss it at the annual meeting of the family for the New Year, and it is now business hours, and ask them to take care of it and not cause trouble in public places."
"It's more like ...... than the underworld Some kind of vigilante." Chu Zihang said, "Then if they are still stubborn and unrepentant?"
"I'm sorry then, but if there's anything he's not tame after I say that, I'll pull out my gun and shoot him in the foot." "But it's rare to have a gun when you need to use a gun, and once they know who you are, they'll get up and say they're going to the bathroom, and you don't even have time to say a word to them."
"One thing I have to warn you to do with me, because it's unfortunate that the Raven Society and the Fire Hall Group are in conflict in Kabukicho, these two gangs control the logistics system in and out of Kabukicho, and the Fire Hall Group is getting more and more powerful, and the old gang The Marven Society is not willing to give up territory easily, and hundreds of people have gathered on both sides in Kabukicho. The envoy of the family has intervened, and the Metropolitan Police Department is closely monitoring the area."
"We put on this dress, and it's up to you, young master, to decide." Caesar sipped a cigar, "We're dealing with striptease nightclub troubles, who cares about a bunch of logistics workers?"
"I really don't dare to be, you are much more like a young master than me, and you smoke such a man's cigarette." Yuan Zhisheng teased.
……
……
That guy shouldn't be coming, right?
The wind and rain outside the window were particularly strong, and the water on the road was so bad that it seemed that there were very few people in Kabukicho tonight.

There was a "clank" and the little bronze bell on the door rang.
Her neck shrunk, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, why did this guy come over half an hour earlier today?
"Welcome." Really said in a trembling voice.
She felt that she was finished, and her high school students could only find unskilled jobs such as store clerks.
Not only the past few weeks, but also the night shift for the rest of the year, if this situation continues, she will probably lose not only her job at the toy store, but also her dream and future of going to college.
Japan is a country that values credit and resumes, for example, it is difficult for ex-convicts to find serious jobs, and employees who have been fired will not be hired by good companies.
I can't save enough money to go to college, and my grandmother has to work hard to calculate the monthly pension.
"Ah...... Hello." It was an unfamiliar voice that interrupted her thoughts, "Miss Aso."
"Huh?!" I really raised my head at this point, but it turned out that it wasn't that guy, it should be just an ordinary guest, but I didn't expect that there would be customers patronizing the toy store in the wind and rain at this point.
"Excuse me...... Please...... Do you know me?"
"Naturally, I don't know it."
"Then you ......."
Aso stopped because the guest was putting his finger on his chest, and she looked down and saw the badge with the words "Aso Mako" written on it, and was instantly embarrassed.
"Is there the fifth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?" The guest asked with a smile, not caring about her panic.
"Yes, on the third row of bookshelves."
"Thank you."
In the blink of an eye, the guest walked to the third row of bookshelves, which made Aso really want to talk and stop, in fact, she really wanted to talk to this guest, during this time, under the influence of the gangsters, there were no customers in the toy store, all she could do every day was to sit at the counter and stare at the empty tabletop in a daze.
But the guest was reading very seriously, so naturally she couldn't disturb the guest reading......
There was an eerie silence in the toy store.
The rapid sound of the bell rang, and a group of people dressed in black rushed in, four men and three women, and there were raindrops rolling down the black clothes.
Their figures are like mountains, the black clothes are open, the silk lining is gorgeous and compelling, some are drawing the Yaksha ogre, the cyan Yaksha is tearing the body of the evil ghost, and some are drawing the naked woman riding on the back of the mountain tiger, the naked woman is tied with a red ribbon around her waist, and a long knife is tied to the ribbon, and she is charming and solemn.
"Lu Mingfei, why don't you follow the rules." The man in the lead of them opened his mouth and reproached, "Didn't you say that everything here is under my command? You don't even wear a uniform."
"Oh, I'm not on a mission in civilian clothes, I'm here to find out the information first." Lu Mingfei picked up a whole "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure: The Wind of Gold" with a hippie smile and put it in front of the counter.
"It's ...... altogether," Aso tried to ignore the group of black people who had just entered the store.
"Ah, wait, I want some." Lu Mingfei said, ""Sea of Stones" and "Soaring Horse Yelang", help me pack it together."
"Excuse me, sir, all of them?" It was a little incredible, and even suppressed the fear in her heart for a short time, and it was probably the biggest business she had ever done since she worked.
"Yes...... Oh, I'm sorry, you can't move as a girl, forget about this stubble." Lu Mingfei beckoned Fingal to help carry the comics into the van parked outside the door, and turned around to slap a black gold card on the table.
"Alright, let's talk." Gen Zhisheng said, pulling Aso's attention back from the black gold card, "What is the matter with the issue of the increase in the protection fee you reacted to?"
"Hey, young master, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Caesar grinned and walked to the figure area to pick up a few figurines and play with them, "A toy store? The underworld will also charge protection money from the toy store?"
"Judging by the house number, it's true, but it seems that the family rarely has a toy store
dealing."
"Why do you need the Liaison Department to intervene for such a trivial matter?" Genjisheng frowned and looked at Sakura, "Those old people eat with high salaries, are they just dealing with the toy store being blackmailed?"
I really listened to it, and gradually understood, and my heart was full of surprises, which is probably the so-called "main family".
She once asked a classmate who had contact with the underworld to help, and the classmate regretfully said that he really didn't know the powerful people in Kabukicho, so he could only give him a phone number, so he could really call and try.
The classmates said that the gang didn't dare to be lawless, and there was still the family in charge, so it would be easy to do it if the family was willing to come forward.
It's the first time I've heard that there is a helpline in the underworld.,It's a girl with a sweet voice on the other end of the phone.,In order to fight for the family.,Really bold to add fuel and vinegar to say how the gangsters on the street are cruel.,The girl who answered the phone focused on asking about the rate adjustment.,I really didn't understand very well.,I can only say yes.。
The girl said that this matter is very important and will be entrusted to the appropriate department to deal with it, please wait for the news, and she has never contacted the real again, she was about to give up this hope, and the gang will respect the family, what time to take care of the trouble of a small toy store.
It turned out that someone really came.
"The operator may have mistaken it for a whole street to raise the protection fee," Sakura was a little embarrassed, "They beat and killed too much, and they were a little nervous."
Caesar put down his figure and lifted his trench coat, revealing Dick Tydo, which was around his waist.
"Hey, this lovely young lady, do you have anything to drink in the store?" He snapped his fingers in front of Aso and made a gesture to drink.
"Boss, why are you like a flirtat?" Lu Mingfei tugged at the corner of Caesar's clothes and signaled him to pay attention, this is not Italy or any Western European country, the concept is not so open, and Caesar's frivolous behavior is easy for the girl to think of as molesting.
"No...... It's okay, do you want to drink it?" Aso Zhen lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Caesar's aggressive eyes, and his cheeks unconsciously reddened, "There's coffee in the store, do you need it?"
"Okay, coffee then." Caesar said, moving a chair and sitting down.
Aso tremblingly took out a bag of instant coffee, brewed it, and brought it to several people tremblingly.
