Chapter 60: Unreliable CP5 Officer
After listening for a while, Zhang Da also found that everyone was not surprised at all about the explosion in the illegal area, and even thought it was reasonable.
Many people saw the house flying into the sky, but when they told about it, they were basically regarded as bragging. If the power was really that great, the house would be blown to pieces in the first place. How was it possible for it to float in the sky?
The witnesses were helpless. These days no one believes the truth.
The doorbell rang and two men in white suits, black ties and black hats walked in. One of the hats was taller and the other was shorter. Zhang Da took one look and then lowered his eyes. The outfit was strange, yet a little familiar.
Rui Mengmeng held the tray: "Welcome!"
The two nodded casually, sat down in the corner, and whispered after ordering drinks.
After Rui Mengmeng brought them drinks and returned to the bar, Zhang Da also asked, "Did you hear what those two people were talking about?"
Rui Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "One was complaining, 'Why do we have to investigate this kind of thing?', and the other was advising, 'Stop complaining, just sit here for a while, ask a few people and then go back and write a report.' That was probably the beginning of the conversation, and I didn't hear anything else."
Could this be a CP organization? Zhang Da also felt a little guilty.
"Do you want me to go and listen again?" Rui Mengmeng saw that Zhang Da seemed to care about those two people.
"No need, just do what you should do." Zhang Da also signaled Rui Mengmeng not to worry about it, and then asked Altria to pay attention to those two people.
Altria glanced around and said, "In terms of 'aura' alone, none of these guests is stronger than you."
Zhang Da also felt much more at ease all of a sudden.
After a while, two men in suits leaned casually on the bar with cups in their hands. The man in the tall hat and Zhang Da also started talking, while the man in the short hat leaned sideways as if he was subconsciously looking out.
"The boss looks unfamiliar."
Zhang Da also put down the newspaper he was holding: "Me? I just took over this pub a month ago."
Gao Mao praised: "Really? In just one month, it looks like it's doing much better than old Bob."
"So you're a regular customer. Thank you for your kindness. Would you like another drink?"
Thanks to the various socially adept guests who kept looking for Zhang Daye to chat over the past month, he has gotten used to chatting with strangers at any time, and can still find opportunities to sell drinks without batting an eyelid.
"...Then have another one." Gao Mao didn't understand why he had to have another cup if he was a regular customer, but he didn't refuse.
Zhang Da also selected a bottle of the most profitable wine, opened it, and poured a glass for each of them.
Short Hat: “…”
Why did he pour me a drink ? He asked for another glass but I didn't say anything...
The two of them drank their wine awkwardly: "We want to ask you for some information, little boss."
Zhang Da also made a gesture of invitation: "You go ahead."
Gaomao looked around and asked mysteriously, "Have you seen any suspicious people recently?"
Zhang Da also blinked: "Yes."
Really? The tall hat became excited, and the short hat also listened attentively: "Who is it?"
Zhang Da also pointed at the two of them. They were the most suspicious people in the room.
"You..." The man in the short hat wanted to get angry, but was stopped by the man in the tall hat. He took out an ID from his clothes and showed it to him.
"We are investigators from the World Government stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago. Please cooperate with the investigation."
Zhang Da also glanced at the ID. It was the first time he saw someone showing ID in this world. He couldn't tell whether it was real or fake. He could only nod and said, "Okay, I will cooperate."
"Then please think carefully about whether you have come into contact with any suspicious people recently." Gao Mao asked again.
Zhang Da also thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to him: "If that's the case, I did see a very suspicious person before. His name is Bizinis, and he is a businessman."
Gao Mao carefully wrote down the key points that Zhang Daye said: he had been here last month, lied that he was a regular customer of the tavern and was asking for information, that he had the strength to not be afraid of ordinary pirate groups, that he was cunning and cautious, and that he had bought a ship in the Seven Water Islands.
"Thank you for your cooperation." The man in the tall hat paid for the drinks and left the tavern with the short hat.
Altria asked, "Tatsuya, who are those two?"
"He said he's an official from the World Government, but I'm not sure which department he belongs to. I guess it's CP5." The main reason is that this is the only organization Zhang Da has heard of besides CP0 and CP9, and CP9 and CP0 are definitely not as weak as these two.
"Do you want to use the power of the World Government to find that person?"
Zhang Da also laughed and said, "Not really. You heard me too. I'm telling the truth. Biznis is indeed suspicious. It would be best if we can give him some trouble. But if we can't, there's no loss. We should just cooperate with him in his work."
…
After the two men in suits left the pub, the man in the short hat asked, "Didn't you say you were just going to ask a few questions and then go back to report? Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Gao Mao took out his little notebook, circled the words "Seven Water Islands", and said proudly: "This is an unexpected gain!"
Short Hat thought of something: "You mean..."
Top Hat nodded: "Hey, our idiot commander is planning to investigate the criminal evidence of a group of boatmen in Water 7 Island. This suspicious guy happens to be related to Water 7 Island. How can we not investigate it?"
Ordinary agents like them certainly don't know about the Pluto blueprints. They only know that their superiors are investigating that information and that this intelligence is very important.
Short Hat's face lit up, but then immediately collapsed: "You also said that our commander is an idiot. Even if he has merits, he won't give us any. Why are we working so hard for this?"
Yes, their CP5 leader is called Spandam, and as they said, he is an idiot who loves to show off. However, he has a strong backing and does not take his subordinates seriously at all. He basically takes all the credit for himself.
"You can't say that. As long as he makes contributions, he will be transferred out of CP5 soon. Then our hard times will be over."
Gao Mao was also dissatisfied with Spandam. Ever since that guy became the head of CP5, they, as his subordinates, had not made any contribution despite working a lot. However, his father was a popular figure among the Celestial Dragons, and they, who had no background, had no way to deal with him.
"Okay, then report it immediately." Shorty agreed with his colleague's idea and dialed Spandam's Den Den Mushi.
Bloopers, bloopers… Kacha.
The first words after the Den Den Mushi was connected were not the usual mumbling, but a scream:
"Ah! Hot, hot, hot! Asshole! My coffee is spilled! Damn it! Why did you call me when I was having coffee!"
Den Den Mushi dutifully imitated Spandam's screams and roars, as well as the sound of a cup breaking.
The two looked at each other. They were used to this commander's eccentricity and apologized helplessly in unison: "I'm very sorry, Commander Spandam. This is Theo and Shute from the Sabaody Archipelago. We have important intelligence to report."
