Sure enough, gunman Bourbon found Kuroki before he left the inspection department.
"Potter." His originally energetic voice was now calm, "Do you think it is the workload of the Inspection Department that is heavier or that of the Intelligence Department?"
"The Operations Department." Kuroki Ren was neither sad nor happy, "After all, I don't feel that the Inspection Department has much workload."
"Gin really knows how to mess with people."
"Your rum isn't bad either."
"..."
The two were silent for a while across the phone, but Bourbon couldn't help but said: "Shouldn't we consider the arrangements for the venue's personnel?"
"It was you who started talking about boring things first." Kuroki said decisively, "Let's find a place to meet. It's not convenient to talk on the phone."
"Go to your candy shop?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll catch a young man this time?"
"I have never heard of catching a young man as a young man." Bourbon said unscrupulously.
Kuroki sneered, but still said: "Forget it, find a bar... Well, let's go to that place. I'll contact someone first to see if they are there."
"Okay." Bourbon knew what Kuroki Ren was talking about. After hanging up the phone, he looked at the list of people compiled below.
"I really want to have a big pen..."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Kuroki Jin and Bourbon met in a family restaurant.
The name of the restaurant is "Fengshun" (pronounced backwards in Japanese, just like the word "detective"), and the owner's name is Echeng Taiga. He is a friend of Kuroki Jin. When he learned that Kuroki Jin was coming, Later, a sign indicating that the store was closed was hung outside.
Jiang Chengdahe is 26 years old this year. He has neatly combed hair, square-rimmed glasses, short stubble, and a square face. He is about 1.8 meters tall, slightly taller than Kuroki but looks much stronger than Kuroki.
There were only three of them in the store. Bourbon and Jiang Chengdahe had met several times and were familiar with each other. They didn't happen to eat, so they asked Jiang Chengdahe to make some food for them.
Although it is a family restaurant, because of Kuroki, Jiangcheng Dahe opened a very secret small room next to the kitchen, specially used to deal with situations like today. Generally speaking, it doesn't matter if there is no crowd outside, but this time the matter is so important that neither Kuroki Jin nor Bourbon can afford the risk of any leakage.
"It's troublesome for Brother Dahe every time." Seeing Jiangcheng Dahe make a combination of four dishes, one soup and two desserts for them, Kuroki Ren said a little embarrassedly.
"It's all thanks to you, Yangping, that I can live in this store safely." Jiangcheng Dahe patted his shoulder, "Don't worry about this little thing."
"Okay," Kuroki Jin agreed with a smile, "So this year is still the third? I heard that Dorobiga Park No. 1 has reopened. Let's take the children to play."
"Is there a holiday this year?"
"Last year was just an accident." Kuroki smiled helplessly. He was assigned a promotion task by Gin immediately after last year's New Year. Even the New Year's shrine visit was in a hurry.
"Okay, I'll tell the children." Jiang Chengdahe smiled heartily, "They were disappointed when you didn't come last year."
"Then let's wait for two more days before confirming the date." Kuroki Jin was cautious, "I'm not very reliable over there. Who knows when Gin will come to me again."
Jiangcheng Dahe nodded when he heard the words, and saw that Bourbon was already sitting upright in the room, looking longingly at the delicacies on the table, and pushed Kuroki Ren back into the room with a smile.
"If you need anything, just ring the bell and go about your business."
"Okay." Heimuren retreated obediently, closed the door and sat down opposite Bourbon.
"I'm starving." Bourbon complained feebly, moving his chopsticks to stuff his mouth with food.
"Why, your intelligence department doesn't care about food?" Kuroki Ren also quickly jumped into the state to grab food. If he started slower, he might not have any food.
"Everyone is busy, so I'm not in the mood to eat." Bourbon sighed, "When will this formalistic annual meeting be cancelled?"
"Isn't it sending a lot of fresh blood to the tissues?"
"The new blood in the laboratory." Bourbon said fiercely, "Those guys... forget it, let's eat, don't mention them."
"..." Kuroki Ren, "We are not here to eat."
Bourbon's hand paused for a moment, then he continued eating with a natural expression: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong."
Kuroki couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After barely recovering his mental and physical strength, Kuroki Jin immediately took Bourbon and began to discuss the issue of personnel arrangements. Bourbon took a breath when he learned that the Inspection Department would eventually have fifty members.
"What are you doing in the inspection department, letting so many people in Tokyo?"
"Thank you, I'm not from the Supervision Department." Kuroki Ren said expressionlessly, "And compared to the people in other departments, there are not many people in the Supervision Department."
Kuroki Jin was telling the truth. The number of people in the Supervision Department was only the third among all departments, and the two major departments above, the Operations Department and the Intelligence Department, were overwhelming. But compared with the more than 20 people last year and the inspection department with more than a dozen people the year before last, this year is indeed a bit more intensive.
"You have to ask Gin about this. He gave me the list." Kuroki Jin didn't know the specific reason. "Maybe there are more members of the organization in Tokyo this year."
"There are indeed many." Bourbon handed the list he carried with him to Kuroki. "This is an incomplete statistics. The estimated number of people in all departments in Tokyo currently exceeds 200."
"Wow." Kuroki Ren was shocked. Although he should have known about this when he saw the list of the Supervision Department, it was still a bit unbelievable that the data actually came out. "Whoever is responsible for such a sum will be rewarded."
Bourbon's heart skipped a beat.
Kuroki Jin took over the list. The list only contained the estimated number of people in each department, and the detailed code names had not yet been given. Kuroki Jin was the first to give the code names of everyone in the Inspection Department, and his own Operations Department had not yet finished counting them.
"It is expected that the personnel list will not be released until the end of the month." Bourbon calmed down, "But it will be easier to handle since the supervision department has already come out. Please give me the internal grouping as soon as possible so that I can make a draft."
"Okay." Kuroki Ren agreed. That's all for the meeting today. In fact, it's okay not to meet, but there is something that Kuroki Ren has been putting off for a long time to say.
"There's something I have to tell you, Feng Gu."
"Huh?" Bourbon was startled. This name...
"At 9:37 a.m. on October 17, 1993, the Police Station under the Metropolitan Police Department, Criminal Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Second Force Criminal Search Murderer Search Department 3 Datehang Interpol..."
"Died unexpectedly due to a car accident."
Bourbon...or maybe it would be better to call him Jiang Gu Zero. He could not maintain his gentle expression that always smiled, his eyes became distracted and then solidified, and Kuroki grabbed his collar as long as he did not resist.
"What did you say?"
