Chapter 18: Kua Kua Ling's "Teaching" Time

Fūya Rei's two consecutive silences made Hasegawa You's hands on his knees curl up slightly unconsciously, and he couldn't help moving his body.

Just before he was about to reveal his guilty expression, the other party spoke first.

"I asked Boss yesterday about Xiaoyou wanting to learn new skills." The conversation about "family" was forced to be interrupted, and Furuya Rei brought up another new topic.

He looked at the orange-haired young man calmly, and lowered his eyelids a second before meeting his gaze, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

The floor-to-ceiling windows that separate the living room and the small balcony are open. From time to time, the wind blows up the curtains, bringing the breath of early autumn to the people in the house.

The place where the two of them were at the moment was not an enclosed space, so Fūya Rei naturally no longer smelled the... fragrance from yesterday.

But sitting in the safe house where traces of the youth's life are everywhere, it seems as if there is something invisible and intangible surrounding people invisibly.

No longer thinking about the unnecessary smell that would divert his attention, Furuya Ling raised his eyelids slightly, this time meeting the young man's focused gaze, "Boss, I've entrusted you to me. If there's anything, you must report to him first. Xiaoyou, don't mind?"

"It's okay." Hasegawa Yu shook his head, feeling a lot more relaxed. "Then did the boss agree?"

His identity in this world is managed by Ararat. Hasegawa Yu is not clear about the detailed operation procedures, but he unconditionally trusts the other party's arrangements.

Therefore, in his eyes, the Boss is more like a background setting of the game, and he does not feel too scared for the time being.

Even though the Boss has a huge transnational criminal organization under his command.

Seeing this, many thoughts flashed through Rei Furuya's mind, but a smile from earlier in their casual chat appeared on his face. "Of course, so what exactly do you want to learn first, Xiaoyou?"

"Um……"

Hasegawa Yu, who knew nothing about anything, hesitated for a moment and decisively chose to listen to his senior, "I don't know anything, senior, please make the arrangements."

"Well, that would be a bit of a headache."

Fūya Rei crossed his arms over his chest, as if thinking. He tapped his arm with one finger in distress and quickly made a decision. "Well... let's start with the most basic information gathering."

"A qualified intelligence officer must learn to gather information from clues in the surrounding environment and the target, and then plan subsequent actions based on this information, thereby obtaining intelligence that others do not have."

Hasegawa Yu looked around and took out a pen and paper to write down the key points.

A good memory is not as good as a good pen. It is still harder than memorizing lyrics, so don’t be careless!

The blond, dark-skinned young man's explanation paused imperceptibly, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he pulled a photo from his pocket and said, "Why don't you try a problem first and see how it goes? I can also recommend some relevant books to Xiaoyou."

Hasegawa Yu didn't suspect anything and reached out to take the photo.

The photo shows a young man sitting in a booth similar to a bar. He has a handsome face and a very friendly smile. He is holding a champagne glass in his hand and raising his glass to several women around him.

"What's your first impression of him?"

While speaking, Furuya Rei secretly observed the orange-haired young man's first reaction after seeing the photo.

Upon hearing this, Hasegawa Yu glanced at the young man's light purple half-V-neck shirt, then at his half-long curly hair casually tied behind his head and the blurred lighting background in the photo, and said hesitantly: "Girl?"

"Hmm." Furuya Rei remained noncommittal. "Anything else?"

Hasegawa Yu stared at the photo, and a circle that seemed to be loading appeared on his head.

Fūya Rei didn't urge him and sat leisurely aside.

The young man in the photo is Speyside's most commonly used disguise.

At the moment, Hasegawa Yu does not recognize this face.

Then how did he recognize Sawada?

The disguised identity "Kenichi Sawada" appeared for the first time in Rei Furuya's intelligence network, which shows that it was newly created by Spese for a certain purpose.

Perhaps... what Hasegawa Yu recognized was not a person, but the identity of "organization member".

As codenamed members of the intelligence team, the two have comparable abilities. Ignoring Granwitt, Jiang Guling still believes in Spese's abilities.

Apart from the small accident that Hasegawa Yu was able to detect the false voice, Speyside should not leave any flaws that even... an idiot can notice.

The words written by the other party in the mission report, such as "I have a feeling that people who appear in a place like this late at night are not good people", are consistent with Hasegawa Yu's usual character, but Furuya Rei just took a look at it and didn't believe it.

"He's very popular with women, but he doesn't seem to care about performance issues."

After diligently studying the photos, Hasegawa Yu finally found a new clue: "The clothes and bags worn by these women are all the latest products from major high-end luxury brands, but the target is wearing Rosemary's new mid-to-high-end clothing line.

This brand is more value-for-money, and ordinary white-collar workers can afford it if they save up a little money.”

Fūya Rei raised an eyebrow, a little surprised by the angle he chose.

"The news often reports that gigolos will do whatever it takes to squeeze money out of their customers in order to increase sales."

Hasegawa Yu scratched his head, explaining as he stole a glance at Furuya Rei's reaction, trying to determine if his direction was correct.

"Based on the financial resources and clothing preferences displayed by the women in the photos, it would be easy for the target to change into clothes that suit their tastes, and this would also be more...pleasing to the customers."

"Xiaoyou knows a lot about clothing brands," Fūya Rei said casually, "Is this also something trainees have to learn?"

"I thought idol trainees only practiced dancing and singing every day."

Hasegawa Yu, who had once been Rosemary's brand spokesperson and was now the global spokesperson for a top luxury brand, quickly looked away. "I... figured it out myself."

Fortunately, the two worlds don't differ greatly in terms of entertainment and culture. Hasegawa Yu quietly sat up and added, "I definitely spend most of my time practicing dancing and singing."

"I see." Fūya Ling showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

The conclusions drawn from the experimental subjects previously do not seem to be that accurate.

Thinking back to Boss's current appearance, the blond and dark-skinned young man pondered, could he be his lover?

His eyes swept over the face of the person in front of him, and then considered the boss's attitude in the email, and the scales in his heart tilted a few centimeters towards the lover option.

Assuming it was a lover, it would explain the speculation that there was an additional source of information in the Sawada case.

But based on the boss's style, Fūya Rei would rather keep people in captivity rather than let them out to recruit people.

The dark crow would only hide the shiny gems tightly and never share them.

Hasegawa Yu, who hadn't had any extended contact with any of the organization's members, didn't forget his business. "Senior, those are the only clues I can find."

He looked at the man pitifully, his beautiful orange-gold almond eyes blinking, which made people soften their hearts unconsciously. "Can you give me some other clues?"

Fūya Rei's fingertips twitched for a moment, and a hint of advice came out of his mouth, "Xiaoyou's analysis can be extended further. If the goal is not money, then why are you chatting with these ladies?"

"Yes." Hasegawa Yuu suddenly understood, his eyes shining. "If you hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have realized there was such a way of thinking."

Furuya Rei paused, "...look at the background in the corner of the photo and the decorations on the table."

"This type of decoration style is only used in the Love Cowherd Shop in Kabukicho."

"Wow~" Hasegawa Yu said sincerely, almost clapping his hands, "Senior can even distinguish this, how amazing!"

The photo didn't capture much of the background.

"As expected of a senior!"

"...Clues of this magnitude are not worth mentioning."

"How could that be?"

Hasegawa Yu retorted seriously, "Sometimes it's the insignificant clues that become the key. Senior didn't miss any clues. I have to learn from you!"

"I have a rough idea of Xiaoyou's level. I'll give you a list of books later. You can read them first."

Fūya Rei put the photo away, didn't look at anyone, and stood up calmly, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Ararat, who watched the whole process, breathed a sigh of relief after everyone left, "Ha, Bourbon."

Every question has a hidden trap, and I really don't want to miss any opportunity.

【There is no need to praise the bad guys. 】

The old grudges surfaced, and Ararat never missed an opportunity to cause trouble. [Just ask normal questions.]

Hearing his words, Hasegawa Yu quickly glanced in the direction of the bathroom. When he saw no one, he lowered his voice and asked in confusion, "I was just asking for advice. Those words were clearly the truth."

【……】

On the other side, Furuya, the bad guy, Zero, came out of the bathroom and passed by the bedroom door.

The door was open without warning, and the scene inside could be seen at a glance.

For some reason, the first thing that Rei Furuya saw was a white puppy doll and a candy candy jar held in the doll's arms.

He turned on his toes, walked in without hesitation, and stood in front of the bedside table.

The blond, dark-skinned man picked up a doll and a candy cane that looked like they were bought from some boutique, and looked through them with an unclear expression.

There is nothing special about the doll except the shark teeth and the "(◣д◢)" expression that contrasts greatly with the soft body.

What concerned Rei Fūya even more was the konpeito jar, which was only a few pieces away from being full.

Hearing some movement coming from the living room, he inexplicably gave up the idea of opening it and pouring out one to see.

After putting the things back in place, Jōgu Rei cleaned up the traces left behind and quietly left the room without anyone noticing.

Only the white puppy doll was watching everything quietly.
