Chapter 524 Don't Want Rum

When parking the car, Amuro Toru's eyes carefully scanned the restaurant's parking lot.

After making sure he didn't see Kogoro Mori's car, and received the message from his subordinates that "there are no other suspicious acquaintances nearby", he pushed the door and got out of the car.

Jiang Xia also looked around and followed Amuro into the hall.

This is the kind of specialty store that cooks to order and has a lot of communication between the chef and the guests.

As soon as Jiang Xia entered the door, he suddenly felt that Toru Amuro stopped beside him, and then his whole body tensed up silently.

"?"

Jiang Xia looked at Toru Amuro in doubt, then followed his line of sight to the corner of the hall, also startled.

——On the other side of the hall, stood a man in a chef's uniform.

The man was tall and well built, with very obvious crow's feet around his eyes, and a bandage covered his left eye.Although he was smiling and discussing recipes with customers, he somehow gave off a gloomy feeling.

Just after two glances, the chef suddenly turned around, his gaze fell on them precisely, and then he raised his eyebrows indistinctly.

This slight change in expression only happened for a split second.Soon, the chef nodded at them with a smile like a normal restaurant employee.

Jiang Xia was silent for a while.

The chef's appearance, and Toru Amuro's reaction...

Could it be what he thought.

……

After a while, when the chef and the guests next to him walked to another signboard, Jiang Xia could clearly see the nameplate hanging on the chef.

——Wakita.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He was briefly lost in thought—

In my impression, one of the commonly used pseudonyms of the organization's second-in-command "Rum" is "Wakita Kanenori".Wakita Kanezuri's identity is indeed a cook.Moreover, being able to work in this kind of restaurant shows that his cooking skills are even very good...

Rum's pastime is going around being a cook?

Or is he also gathering intelligence in this way?

... Well, judging from how busy Gin is, the second in command of the organization shouldn't be too busy, let's call it the latter.Is it a habit for the Rum faction? Amuro Toru's part-time job is taught by Rum?

... Having said that, I don't know if Lang Mu knows "Jiang Xia = Wu Zuo".From the perspective of authority, Rum will definitely be able to find out; there is such a code member in Tokyo suddenly, he should also pay attention to it.

In short, whether he knew it or not, Rum would definitely not come directly to him and say "Hi, Uzo."... It is really a very dangerous thing for the second in command to expose himself to the new code member.And according to Rum's degree of caution, he should not pick up the vests of other code members at Bourbon for no reason.

After figuring it out, Jiang Xia quickly lost interest in the non-murderous Rum, and his eyes fell on the ingredients aside.

Toru Amuro didn't look any further.

He turned to the waiter who came to receive them, ready to choose dishes: Since the rum is here, don't order too much like before, which means saving a little money for the organization...

……

Next to him was the second-in-command of the organization. Even after Amuro came back to his senses, he acted as if he didn't know Rum, but his attention would inevitably be on the leader of the organization.

After observing for a while from the corner of his eye, Toru Amuro suddenly found that Rum also seemed to occasionally look at this side secretly when the guests were tangling about the dishes.

Toru Amuro: "...?"

... Rum has looked over too many times, why does he look very interested in something.

Calmly rule it out.First of all, this should not be looking at him, he is also considered an old subordinate of Rum, and there is nothing to look at.

and so……

Amuro couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Xia next to him.

Rum must have taken a fancy to this seedling detective...

The organization usually does not like to contact famous detectives, because detectives are often people with a strong sense of justice and close ties with the police.At the same time, in the eyes of members of the organization, this group of people is also very "cunning", and contacting them rashly is easy to overturn, and the cost performance is not high.

But Jiang Xia is different.

Jiang Xia's parents are both in the organization, and he himself has always been a peripheral member of the organization. In Langmu's eyes, this should be a very useful tool.

Moreover, Jiang Xia has just become a detective not long ago, and she is already so famous and has a strong growth potential. If this continues...

Toru Amuro was secretly alert.

He originally planned to put Jiang Xia under his command first, as a regular member of the peripheral tool people.After Jiang Xia grows to the point where he cannot be ignored by the organization, find a suitable opportunity and introduce Jiang Xia as a code member.In this way, Bourbon can logically add a partner who loves to paddle. While prostitution, he can also provide Jiang Xia with guidance and help to prevent him from getting involved in those high-risk tasks.

Or, if Jiang Xia really doesn't want to do things for the organization, then he will go through the procedure of protecting witnesses and send Jiang Xia to a peaceful place; or let him enter the public security pile to shine secretly - according to the talents Jiang Xia has shown, after careful training, he will definitely More reliable than most of his subordinates...

And no matter which path you take in the end, it will undoubtedly take a long time to investigate and prepare.

If Jiang Xia is targeted by Rum so soon, by then, many things will easily get out of control, and it will be difficult to achieve a satisfactory result...

However, if you think about it rationally, even if Rum really likes Jiang Xia's ability, he should not send Jiang Xia to do other tasks immediately, but will think about it for a long time, let Jiang Xia maintain his original development, cultivate his reputation, and give full play to his growth. potential.so……

Um?and many more.

Doesn't that mean that if Jiang Xia is really Wu Zuo, it will be difficult for him to see the clues from the organization's tasks and movements, because even if the organization assigns tasks to Jiang Xia, the focus of the tasks will be on accumulating fame, and only in the Use him at a few critical moments to covertly complete the goal?

"..." Oh, it's too difficult.

Amuro sighed inwardly.

It is indeed a troublesome thing to catch the mice around you.

Looking at Rum at this time, Toru Amuro actually had a brief sympathy with the second in command of the organization whose hands were covered in blood...

……

Ten meters away, on the other side of the hall.

While dedicatedly introducing the special recipes to the guests, Rum thought about what happened just now.

As the head of intelligence in the organization, he has a good idea of ​​any code-named cadre, let alone Uzo who is active in Tokyo.

Just now, when Rum recognized Jiang Xia who entered the door, he saw Toru Amuro next to Jiang Xia, and was slightly taken aback, wondering why Uzo, the person from the side of Gin, got together with his subordinates.

It took a second before he suddenly remembered that Uzo seemed to have been working in Bourbon's detective agency - Bourbon was not in the office all year round, and the identity of a private detective was too low. Rum's busy brain had already put this information It was piled to the corner, and now I suddenly saw it, and successfully activated the memory again.
