Chapter 798 Akai Shuichi: Usa and Gin are mortal enemies. Please vote for me (づど)

"Ahem, it may sound too exaggerated. In fact, at the beginning, I was dubious about this method."

After Okiya Subaru said this, he found that he was not calm enough - and as an academic, he felt that he should not judge the nature of the matter simply and crudely based on rumors.

but……

"Then something happened." Subaru Okiya began to provide evidence for "Usa can really write murder scripts":

"——This time, during Yiichi Watanuki's mission. While solving the case, we met a witness.

"On the night of the incident, the witness celebrated winning the lottery and got very drunk at an izakaya. When he went home, he took a shortcut and passed between Watanukiyi's family and the construction site where the body was buried. He happened to hear There was news of Wan Guanyi burying his body.

"Later, when the deceased's brother went to investigate, he happened to find this witness. The witness insisted that that night, he heard Yiichi Watanuki digging a hole in his yard - the witness said that he was passing by the alley and lighting a cigarette. Then I glanced to the right, and the voice was over there.

"But the actual situation is that there was a strong east wind that night. When the witness lit his cigarette, he instinctively turned his back to the wind in order to block the oncoming wind. Therefore, the sound he heard came from a location other than Watanuki. It was the Yi family, but the construction site next door - the testimony he gave was exactly the opposite."

When Shuichi Akai heard this, he nodded and understood what Subaru Okiya wanted to express:

“Without this ‘witness’, the deceased’s brother or the police might have intensified their search efforts in the surrounding area instead of focusing on Watanuki Yiichi’s yard.

"In other words, the existence of this unexpected factor indirectly led to Watanuki Yiichi not being imprisoned on time, so Uzuo randomly added a task of 'promoting the process of solving the case' - and if Uzuo continued to pay attention to this incident, or happened to be near the burial site that night, it was not difficult for him to notice this witness who walked by in a swagger, and he would not miss it.

"It's a pity that I can't get in touch with Watanuki Yiichi now... I'm very curious if he feels anything unusual in these things. If he doesn't even realize that he is being manipulated, then this is simply like a script from the gods. Unbelievable.”

As Akai Shuichi spoke, his voice gradually became lower and he began to think silently.

"..." I haven't seen him in two years, and there are actually more talents of this type in the organization.

If Usa is really as described by the rumors and Subaru Okiya, there will be more powerful enemies...

Speaking of which, Subaru Okiya seemed to have said just now: Usa had tricked the cadres, and it sounded like he was not punished for it. In Akai Shuichi's impression, although the organization is unambiguous in terms of silence, they do not allow cadres to engage in private fights at the physical level unless issues of principle are involved.

...Perhaps the cadres Uzuo killed were the ones the higher-ups wanted to eliminate.

But in another kind of rumor, Wu Zuo had a fierce fight with a certain cadre, and the winner has not yet been decided... This is a bit strange.

Akai Shuichi thought that if that "other cadre" was someone the organization wanted to eliminate, then he would not have been able to survive in the organization for so long.

But if the organization didn't intend to eliminate him, Uzo was not forcibly stopped from doing so...

After thinking for a moment, several possibilities gradually emerged in Akai Shuichi's mind.

One is that the organization does not have enough evidence to prove that Uzo is killing his colleagues, and the person being targeted is on guard. In the end, the two sides are evenly matched, and no one can kill the other for a while, so the senior management is too lazy to take care of it. Let them continue to fight these troublesome things.

...Speaking of this ability that rivals Uzo's, combined with Uzo's criticism of "thug"-style killings. Akai Shuichi suddenly thought: Could it be that this cadre who has been fighting with Usa and is still alive is Gin?

"..." This possibility cannot be ruled out.

And in this way, it can also explain the reason why the rumors leaked out - although Gin is taciturn most of the time, the Vodka next to him is not so strict with his mouth.

If Uzo and Gin were fighting so fiercely, it would be really hard for Vodka not to say something. After all, it seems that Uzo is no ordinary person at the moment, and it is not a shame for Gin to be his enemy and not have the upper hand. Vodka unintentionally promoted a few words, which is very reasonable.

Another situation is that Uzo's ability is too outstanding. So even though he couldn't help but extend his poisonous hand to the cadres, the higher-ups didn't want to deal with him directly without catching any evidence... This ability to hide behind the scenes and kill in secret is indeed in line with what the organization has always admired. Concept, such "Uzo" is worth cultivating for them.

In particular, Akai Shuichi remembered...

He turned to Subaru Okiya: "I remember that when you mentioned Uzo just now, you used the term 'the new generation of the organization'... Uzo is very young? What are the characteristics of his appearance?"

Akai Shuichi didn’t ask Okiya Subaru for a photo.

——A person who can write a crime script and actually reproduce it in reality must be very good at perceiving people's hearts and must have extremely keen observation skills.

Under such circumstances, if Subaru Okiya dared to secretly take photos of his new boss whom he had just met...I am afraid that today, the place he should come to was not Subaru Okiya's apartment, but his graveyard. No, in this case, there is no chance of being buried in the cemetery. You have to search through the incinerators of nearby abandoned factories to have a chance to see...

Okiya Subaru didn't know what Akai Shuichi was thinking, but he suddenly felt a chill in his back.

He suspected that this was because the two people were chatting about Uzo, and this reminded him of some not-so-good memories, and he couldn't help but glance out the window and in the direction of the corridor.

After confirming that no one on either side broke in, he felt slightly relieved.

Okiya Subaru really didn't dare to secretly take pictures of Usa, and the idea never even came up.

So now, faced with Akai Shuichi's question, he had no choice but to try his best to describe Uzo's appearance:

"Looks younger than me, in his early twenties. He is dressed like most people in the organization, all in black, and wearing sunglasses... If I have to say what distinguishes him, it's probably the curly hair. His appearance and temperament are not the same. It’s not hard to remember, but I don’t have the slightest impression of him, so I must have never met him before.”

Akai Shuichi nodded thoughtfully.

After hearing the end, Uzo's "young" and "sharp" characteristics, as well as the person who finally solved the case, suddenly reminded him of something.

He considered and asked: "I heard that this case was solved by the famous high school detective. Did he do anything unusual in this case? Also, did he appear at the same time as Uzo?"
