Lifting the izakaya's signature door curtain, you can see a space of only 50 square meters, with two long tables lined up on the left and right sides, and several men in casual clothes are sitting at the long tables.

Seeing Takahashi Yohei leading the guests in, a bald man with a fat body stood up with a smile on his face: "Lord will grow." ”

Takahashi Yohei nodded to the bald man, casually pointed to the two men who were chatting at the long table and said, "The guests have arrived, go outside to be on duty, don't let others rush in and spoil the interest of me and the guests." ”

"Hay!" Two middle-aged men in flower shirts stood up, bowed to Yohei Takahashi in agreement, and walked out of the izakaya.

"Please take a seat, please take a seat, I arrived here at four o'clock in the afternoon to prepare dinner, but I didn't expect to make the guests wait for a long time." The owner of the izakaya, who looked a little similar to Takahashi Yohei but was much older, put two plates on the long table in front of Liangkun, and then sat down casually next to Liangkun and said.

The two plates on the table are boat-shaped, two thin plates of fish neatly stacked in the shape of a canopy of brightly colored lemons, perilla leaves, and orchids, which match the boat-shaped plates, like two small fishing boats, and are accompanied by prepared wasabi puree, soy sauce, radish puree, and fried sake.

Takahashi Yohei bowed slightly and introduced to Liangkun: "This is the father Takahashi Yoki. ”

Otomo and Liangkun and others hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Takahashi Yoki returned the salute and said, "This izakaya is my family's ancestral property, I'm really ashamed, my cooking skills are too far from my father and ancestors, so I rarely come here during the year, and other people take care of it, so I stay in my hometown Saitama to farm." However, my skills in making sashimi are not bad, especially puffer fish sashimi. Mr. Lin, please try it. China's Su Dongpo once said after eating puffer fish, 'it is also worth dying', and later people jokingly called 'desperate to eat puffer fish', the meat of puffer fish can be seen to be quite delicious, I think, Hong Kong, there should be very few chefs who can make puffer fish raw. ”

Liangkun waited for Ishihara to finish speaking, picked up the chopsticks with the same expression, picked up a piece of puffer fish meat, smeared soy sauce on one side, dipped in wasabi puree on the other, and then put it in his mouth, and felt the freshness and spicinessiness of the fish soy sauce wasabi puree mixed together with his tongue for a while, then swallowed, snorted, gave a thumbs up to Takahashi Yohei, and said in Japanese: "Ichiban!" ”

Takahashi laughed, his face full of accomplishment: "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to understand Japanese." ”

Liangkun waited for Kagura Mangui to translate before saying, "I only know a few words, and if Mr. Chiba wants more appreciation in Japanese, I'm afraid I can't do anything." ”

"Ishihara! Go tell the guy to make some skewers, and by the way, burn the Tosa cranes that I treasured. Yohei Takahashi instructed Ishihara.

Waiting for Ishihara to bring a few skewers and a bottle of Tosa Tsuru yaki, Takahashi Yoki helped Liangkun and Otomo pour wine, and several people began to chat, from outer space to the inner womb, and the topic was wild.

Liangkun is always not in a hurry or impatient, since Takahashi Yohei and his son like to go around in circles, then let him be.

Finally, after a bottle of Tosa Tsuruyaki was emptied, Takahashi Yoki quit and went into the kitchen to help. Takahashi Yohei turned to the topic: "Mr. Lin, I got the news about you from Otomo, you are the youngest community leader in a certain area of Hong Kong, and I also know something about your deeds, I took the liberty of inviting you to drink today, because I want to ask you." ”

Liangkun put down the wine glass, gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, looked at Takahashi Yohei and said, "I don't know if Mr. Takahashi needs my help?" ”

Ishihara over there brought two pipes, which were already filled with tobacco.

Yohei Takahashi picked one up and handed it to Liangkun: "Please taste it, this is the tobacco that my father grew himself in Saitama's hometown." ”

Ishihara next to him helped Liangkun ignite it, and Liangkun took a sip.

And Takahashi Yohei held a pipe in his hand and told Liangkun about the Takahashi Group during this time:

The Takahashi-gumi was originally a small community that developed after World War II based on the family's Izakaya, and has some territory in Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture.

With the rapid development of Japan's economy, Japan's yakuza has also entered the fast lane of development, and the power of the Yamada gumi in Kansai, the Sannokai in Kanto, and the Ashikaga family has expanded dramatically, and more and more small associations have been annexed and become branches of those large associations. It was against this background that the Takahashi-gumi was organized under the umbrella of the Sannokai.

Takahashi Yohei is the most traditional Japanese underworld, and he has a very good appetite for Otomo, and he has a good relationship with Takahashi Yohei in private.

Unlike the Otomo Group itself, which is an independent organization under the umbrella of the Sannokai, and belongs to the "descendant troops" of the Sannokai, although the Takahashi Group has joined the Sannokai and become a second-level organization like the Chi Yuangumi, it is also oppressed in the Sannokai, the territory is infiltrated and occupied, and the wealth is absorbed by the Sannokai in the name of "Shangnajin". People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and these things Takahashi Group endured.

On New Year's Eve this year, Yohei Takahashi suddenly suffered a car accident, and if it wasn't for the loyal driver who spun the steering wheel and crashed into the other party with the driver's seat, then it would have been Yohei Takahashi who was killed on the spot, not the driver.

Lucky Yohei Takahashi only had a severe fractured leg and was fine.

After the accident, the Takahashi group began to track down the truth of the accident, but the driver who drove the truck into Takahashi Yohei disappeared.

After seeing the portrait of the driver's face drawn by Yohei Takahashi, Otomo confirmed that the driver was a confidant of Soichiro Kanuchi, the president of the Sanno Association, named Masashi Funaki.

However, for several months, members of the Takahashi Group visited the Sannokai's territory, but they were unable to find the whereabouts of the driver.

After Takahashi Yohei spent money to privately buy off another confidant of Sekiuchi Soichiro, who was reprimanded, he finally learned the news that Masashi Funaki fled to Hong Kong, hid in the Kowloon Walled City, and became the head of Seunai Soichiro's drug business in Hong Kong.

The Takahashi Group has no power of its own in Hong Kong, especially the Kowloon Walled City can be said to be a paradise for murderers in Southeast Asia, and all killers or fugitives who have been murdered are willing to flee to Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City for refuge. There, as long as there is enough money, even if the walled city is only five dilapidated streets, people can get the treatment of emperors, and the Hong Kong police will never enter the Kowloon Walled City to arrest criminals, not even the local police, and the people of the Gaoqiao Group are even more powerless.

Therefore, when Otomo called and said that there was a red stick from the Hong Kong community who wanted to discuss business with the Takahashi group, Takahashi Yohei thought of Masashi Funaki, who had fled to Hong Kong. He must find out whether the Mountain King will want to eliminate the Takahashi Group, or whether there are other forces sowing discord, this is a major matter related to the life and death of the Takahashi Group, and Takahashi Yangping cannot be allowed to act carelessly.
