He casually killed the man and ordered someone to come in and deal with the body. Hagiwara Kenji then sat back on the sofa and continued to study the withdrawn message.

He sent a question mark back.

After three minutes, the message shows as read.

Five minutes later, the reply that usually comes with the read message has not yet appeared in the dialog box.

Even the prompt "The other party is typing..." did not appear.

His fingers with distinct knuckles slowly stroked the edge of the phone. After a few seconds, Hagiwara Kenji exited the chat box with Hasegawa Yu and turned to deal with Noshita's affairs.

Some time ago, he went to Nagoya Port to investigate the secret circulation of drugs in Kabukicho.

Not to mention the accidents that occurred during the process, the result was that the goods that had just arrived and for which the payment had been made were all gone before they even stayed at the dock for one night. The Di'ai Group, which suffered heavy losses, finally calmed down.

After returning, Hagiwara Kenji not only investigated the posts on the fishing technology forum, but also took action to crack down on those who sold drugs in his territory and sent a warning to the people behind the scenes.

Noshita was one of the people who was recruited by the Tei Ai Group to sell drugs. His status in the organization was not very high, at least he did not have a code name.

Kenji Hagiwara doesn't care about places outside Kabukicho, but the Tei Ai Group chose this place instead of other places. Presumably, their ultimate goal is to target the celebrities and politicians who frequent this place.

Kenji Hagiwara's comment on this is that he is just looking for trouble, he is not dead.

On the surface, there are close ties between the Di'ai Group and the Wuhuan Group, and the two sides often cooperate to get what they need.

But people who are addicted to gambling are always greedy, and the Di'ai Group always wants more.

Therefore, secretly, the two sides have been in constant conflict, big or small, and are stuck on a very delicate line.

The casino is a very convenient place to launder money, and the organization has long been eyeing the big cake of the Di Ai Group.

However, it takes time to carve out a big piece of cake, so the organization restrained its eagerness to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation.

Kenji Hagiwara knew that as long as he didn't go too far, his boss would at most give him a verbal "warning", which would not hurt him at all.

"Buzz—"

Kenji Hagiwara came back to his senses from his many thoughts, quickly typed an email instructing his subordinates, exited the current interface, and clicked on the new message.

Hmm… Nine minutes later, still no reply.

The new information came from informants scattered throughout Kabukicho, claiming that a killer suspected to be from Hakata was chasing someone in Kabukicho.

The attached pictures show the figures and appearances of both the killer and his target.

"Hmm?" Hagiwara Kenji raised his eyebrows and recognized that the killer's target was Emori Tesunosuke, who was handed over to the police by Hasegawa Yu.

He did not pay attention to the follow-up after the other party was escorted to the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, whether he really went to prison or paid a huge sum of money to get out was none of his business.

At the moment, it seems that something unexpected has happened again.

Kenji Hagiwara immediately ordered his men to find a way to keep all these people.

Since they are here, as the host he naturally has to entertain the guests.

The remaining guests were tied up one by one.

"Hi~"

Hagiwara Kenji first waved and greeted Emori Tetsunosuke. He had already done some rough research on the relevant information before coming. "Mr. Emori is so fashionable even at his age. Not many people can have this experience."

After all the hard work, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke, who had accomplished nothing, widened his eyes and looked haggard. "It's you?! Is this the territory of the Di Ai Group?"

Hagihara Kenji smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke became depressed again.

"Why is Mr. Jiang Shou being hunted by a killer?" The man with semi-long hair sighed, "Being a bank president is such a dangerous job."

"It must be a killer hired by Hasegawa Yu. He deceived everyone by pretending that he could be kidnapped with just a piece of candy!"

As he spoke, a look of fear flashed across Jiang Shouzhezhisuke's eyes, "As expected of an organization..."

The other party doesn't even want to take action himself!

Jiang Shouzhezhisuke originally wanted to get rid of the killer in the mixed crowd of Kabukicho, but he didn't expect that the killer seemed to have installed a tracking device on him and he couldn't get rid of him.

"." Hagiwara Kenji looked at him with pity.

Deciding not to comment on this, he turned around and, like a Kabukicho judge, asked the killer, "Who hired you?"

The killer remained quiet with great professionalism.

"Hmm."

Hagiwara Kenji, who was more interested in the killer, pondered for a moment, "If you complete the goal of this order, can you accept a new employer?"

“…”

"what you up to!"

Ignoring Emori Tetsunosuke's shouting, Hagiwara Kenji propped his chin up in distress with one hand, "It's really hard to deal with guests who don't like to talk. Fortunately, I'm a generous host."

“…”

"Buzz—"

The generous owner received a new message.

It's an emoticon, a round, round thing with at most two heads... a human? A mermaid?

Kenji Hagiwara stared silently at the orange pufferfish (tentative name), which looked like Ariel from "The Daughter of the Sea" but was painted very abstractly, as if he was afraid of being warned by Disney's legal department, and was lost in thought.

In short, the fathead fish has a guilty expression on its face.

[I accidentally sent the wrong message, it's okay now, senpai OwO]

It took half an hour to receive a reply.

Kenji Hagiwara typed lazily: Did Xiaoyou meet someone?

"Ah, don't worry, senior. There was a killer chasing me just now, but I solved it!"

Fathead fish thumbs up.jpg

The one in Beikacho is indeed closer than his one in Kabukicho.

Without asking who helped to solve the killer's problem, Kenji Hagiwara ignored the ugly-cute pufferfish and sent a head-patting emoticon.

He continued typing slowly: I found a body on the road that looked very much like Jiang Shouzhezhisuke.

The killer's employer behind the scenes used anonymous accounts for everything, and Kenji Hagiwara was very disappointed that he couldn't find any trace of it with his computer skills.

But what is certain is that the other party wants to protect Hasegawa Yu.

Maybe... he is the same person as the mysterious source of information?

I don’t know whether the “mysterious man” will recognize the body.

While thinking, Kenji Hagiwara typed and added: It scared me.

Come to think of it, Bourbon would actually go and save people?

[Senior, Caicai, help.]

When he received this message, Rei Furuya was also interrogating the employer behind a killer.

He quickly read the reason sent by Hasegawa Yu, and after learning that the other party was fine, he replied "Hide well", and asked his men who were nearby to go over and check the situation, then put the phone away.

The blond man in a black baseball cap put his hands in his pockets and looked down at the person lying on the ground. "It's not the Di Ai Group. Your employer is someone else."

"It was Shannan Haozhen who hired me after going through several people."

The man lying on the ground glanced at the sniper rifle scattered into parts not far away and gritted his teeth, "No matter how many times you ask, my answer will be the same."

Furuya Rei remained noncommittal. His purplish-gray eyes were completely obscured by the shadow cast by the brim of his hat, making it difficult to discern his expression. His tone was neither salty nor indifferent, "Akai Shuichi remains as vigilant as ever."

Guessing that this mission was a fraud, in order to avoid becoming the fuse or victim of both ends, he simply pretended to take the mission to find out the truth, and then turned around to trick other people.

Seeing the man's expression of disbelief, Furuya Rei stepped on his left hand with his toes as it tried to make a subtle move. "Don't move. My information is very valuable."

It’s a pity that I didn’t take the opportunity to get rid of Shuichi Akai.

Recalling his past in the United States, the blond, dark-skinned man asked in a very negotiating tone, "How do you plan to repay me?"

After dealing with the killer who was good at sniping, Furuya Rei walked to a secluded place, took off his hat, and drove to the location of Hasegawa Yu.

When he arrived at his destination, he saw from afar the orange-haired young man chatting happily with his men.

He was usually indifferent and taciturn, with a sullen face when he met everyone. His subordinates, who were most particular about efficiency, actually stood there obediently and nodded in agreement.

If you look closely, is it still a little blushing?

Fūya Rei curled the corner of his mouth, thinking that men are indeed visual animals.

The blond senior who had unknowingly scolded himself suddenly remembered the logistics member in charge of Hasegawa Yu's safe house.

She seemed to like the young master very much, and even prepared more daily necessities for his safe house than for others.

"." Jōgō Rei tapped the steering wheel with his fingers. What was going on? It felt like he was trying to "incite rebellion" against everyone he met.

A white Mazda RX-7 stopped beside them.

"Lord Bourbon." The subordinate lowered his head to report the situation, "Those assassins retreated before I arrived."

Furuya Rei gave him an ambiguous look and said, "Hmm."

The subordinate excused himself and left, and Hasegawa Yu came up instead, "Senior!"

Fūya Rei looked at him, then looked away, "Get in the car first."

"Hey~" Sitting in the passenger seat and fastening his seat belt, Hasegawa Yu took the initiative to explain what happened.

Chirping.

Furuya Rei asked nonchalantly, "Why did the killer suddenly retreat?"

"Maybe there's a problem with the employer?" Hasegawa Yu, who hadn't received the text message from Hagiwara Kenji yet, scratched his head and wasn't quite sure of the specific situation.

He doesn't even know where Jiang Shouzhe's help is right now.

Fūya Rei didn't ask any more questions.

It's amazing that the young master could escape the killer's pursuit.

There's something strange.

He didn't believe in such a coincidence that something on the killer's body suddenly exploded.

"Ah!" Hasegawa Yu finally remembered that he had a message that he had read but not replied to, and he took out his mobile phone belatedly.

He didn't mean to not go back to Hagiwara-senpai! He was just delayed earlier!

Hearing his little movement, Fūya Ling glanced at him and asked, "Are you still going to tell Speyside about this?"

"Yeah." Hasegawa Yu scratched his cheek with his fingers, his eyes wandering. "I accidentally sent the wrong message. I have to explain to Hagiwara-senpai."

Fūya Rei fell silent again.

"Senior Hagiwara said he found Emori Tetsunosuke's body in Kabukicho!" Hasegawa Yu was shocked and confused.

There are a lot of corpses in Tokyo every day, but... well, you can always find them.

But why did Emori Tetsunosuke appear in Kabukicho?

Noah said that the other party was almost caught after escaping from prison. Wasn’t he caught by the police?

Furiya Ling was too lazy to pay attention to Speyside's extremely careless excuse, which was probably only believed by the young master. "We've arrived at the safe house."

After all the fuss, it was completely dark.

Hasegawa Yu, who had just experienced the assassin's pursuit, glanced at the dark street and turned around, "Could you please accompany me up there, Senior?"

He clasped his hands together and said, "Please, please~☆"

Jianggu Ling: "..."

They both opened the door and got out of the car.

Hasegawa Yu squeezed in behind the blond senior, always remembering to maintain social distance and being alert to his surroundings. He was inexplicably busy.

"You don't have to..." Fūya Ling frowned, and before he could finish his words, he felt a strong pull on his clothes from behind.

The next second, something rolled to the ground.

There were two buttons that broke off from the chest of the clothes.

"...It's a plastic bag." Fūya Rei, whose clothes were almost pulled into a tight-fitting suit, pulled his clothes back expressionlessly.

"Y-Really?"

Hasegawa Yu, who was particularly agitated tonight, cautiously poked his head out, then was shocked, "Senior, your clothes!"

The orange-haired young man, realizing he had done something wrong, lowered his head, then raised his eyes and tentatively suggested, "How about... I help you sew the buttons? Don't worry, I'm very skilled!"
