Kuroki Jin has a very good identity: he is the former deputy who was brought out by Gin and is now promoted to the head of the local operations department.
Sometimes Kuroki Jin's will is understood to mean Gin.
Of course Kuroki Jin knows this, and even he himself is making good use of it.
He can survive in many departments like a fish in water. The people he knows are almost as good as Gin. Every department that meets him will sell him three points of face. He basically doesn't get kicked out when he visits any base.
Part of these are the reasons why he himself is not low in level, but more of it is because he is Gin's confidant.
When he went to a place, it was very likely that Gin from the Supervision Department asked him to review something. After this hint was planted, anyone who looked at him would avoid him.
Kuroki Jin has often been criticized for being a fox who pretends to be a tiger. He has no real ability and only follows Gin to bully the weak and avoid the strong. However, he usually just smiles and does not refute, and in the organization, not refuting is equivalent to acquiescence.
Gin's prestige is already strong enough, it would be bad if Kuroki Jin becomes stronger.
Kuroki Jin knows the art of balance very well. He finds a balance between strength and weakness, and happily interacts with all kinds of people.
Including people who don’t deal with each other.
So for things like arranging for the Miyano sisters to meet on the first day of the new year, even if the Supervision Department knew about it, they would not bother to report it, because Gin would definitely receive Kuroki Jin's request earlier than them.
Gin wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.
People in the organization have more or less demonized Gin, thinking that he is a ruthless executioner who is difficult to deal with and is always willing to point a gun at people's heads and threaten people's lives...
Eh? It seems that is indeed the case.
But only a few people around Gin know that Gin has a good temper.
It's really good. He rarely cares about things other than what he is doing. As long as you don't do too much, he will even cover for you. Even if you go too far, as long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, he will cover you first and then come back. Teach you how to be a good person.
It’s just that when you teach people how to be a good person, it’s just not very pleasant.
So for something as trivial as a meeting and a meal, Gin could just say "Oh" and then turn around and forget about it. It was not as serious as Shirley thought.
Seeing Shirley's expression that she was not very daring to move, Kuroki had no choice but to give him another push: "At this time of year, when others are playing, the Supervision Department would be as tired as a dog. If Gin hadn't been on the third page every time, Taking them for a complete party in two days is enough for everyone to give up."
Kuroki Jin also completed the language arts course today with full credits.
Shirley had no reason to refuse, not to mention she was the one who wanted to agree the most.
"Then it's agreed. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll go...well, do you want to stay upstairs today?"
Shirley shook her head, she didn't feel safe here. She will leave as soon as the hotel allows people to leave after midnight, and someone from the scientific research department will take her back.
"I'll go to R018 to find you at eight o'clock. Let's go have breakfast first." Kuroki Jin emphasized the word "we" in our words.
Shirley:…
No need to give any more hints she already understood.
"Thank you." She said softly before Kuroki left, her eyes shining brightly under the mask.
"You're welcome." Kuroki Ren smiled happily.
He likes to get along with Shirley. Although she looks cold on the outside, she is warm inside. Getting along with her will calm Kuroki Ren's heart.
The calmness around Gin is a sense of security, and the peace around Shirley is stability.
Fundamentally speaking, Potter and Shirley belong to the same source and are both pure.
Kuroki Jin started wandering around and eating. He was holding a mousse cake, thinking that he could let mead learn how to make it as one of the breakfasts for those poor high school dogs. Then he saw a man holding a mousse cake standing not far away. Bourbon talking to a strange man over a glass of red wine.
Just as they finished speaking, Bourbon turned and walked towards him, his steps steady and unhurried, and he passed by Blackwood with a smile on his face as if greeting a stranger.
Bourbon's low and steady voice sounded in my ears:
"Mead."
Kuroki and Bourbon passed by each other. As if nothing had happened, the two of them followed their established routes, one chatting around and the other looking for food. However, when passing by the bartender, Kuroki hesitated and sat down.
The bartender was working hard to clean the glasses, but he didn't get up to greet the guests when he saw them.
This is not a serious bartender to begin with.
The people who are still in this hotel are all members with code names. Standing at the bartending table and mixing drinks is just an occasional life adjustment for them tonight. They can leave at any time and someone can enter the empty bartending table at any time.
There are only a few people in the organization who don't know how to bartend. Everyone uses the name of a drink as a code name, so naturally they have to live up to their code names. Whether you are able to drink is natural, but whether you are good at mixing drinks depends entirely on your upbringing. Of course, if you get drunk when asked about the taste of alcohol, just pretend he didn't say anything about it.
People like that may not be able to get in here.
"Sir, El-Diablo." Kuroki Ren pretended to choose the wine.
"Wait a minute." The bartender put down the polished reflective glass, selected a long drinking glass from the backstage display, took out an ice cube of equal size and put it in, then quickly rotated the ice glass with a long spoon.
Then put about 45ml of tequila into the shaker, then add 10ml of blackcurrant liqueur, 5ml of lime juice and a few ice cubes, shake well and pour into the cup.
A dark red color like blood fills the cup. Finally, garnish with a piece of lime peel, and a cup of El-Diablo is completed.
Kuroki Jin looked at this high-altitude wine that could knock him down instantly, and he was thinking about whether he should take a sip.
"What, you're not satisfied with the wine I made?" The bartender sat across from Kuromu Ren at some point and looked at Kuromu who was in a dilemma with a smile.
"As long as you know what I mean, I'll die on the spot after one bite." Kuroki Ren rolled his eyes.
This was the way Kuroki Jin and Bourbon had agreed upon to exchange information before the party started. Bourbon left a mixing table in the banquet hall as a temporary intelligence point, and then took turns sending his own people to occupy it for a long time, which not only ensured that the place would not be occupied by others, but also eliminated the suspicion of others as much as possible.
Coincidentally, the person currently in the stronghold, Kuroki Jin, also happened to know him.
"I really didn't expect that the first exchange would be like this." Kuroki's expression was calm, and he was already secretly cursing Bourbon's cruelty in his heart.
What about him? There were two deputy ministers at the Tokyo Research Base Headquarters before Shirley came, but it turned out they were all from Bourbon! If Yulu knew about this, it would be strange if he wouldn't be half angry to death.
"I didn't expect that this intelligence point would actually be activated tonight." Merlot, the leader of the third team of the scientific research base and also the deputy director of the base, said lightly.
"Tell me, who do you want information from?" Melo seemed to know everything.
"Mead." Kuroki Jin reported the code name, and then saw Mei Le's stunned expression.
"It seems like there is no need to go elsewhere to exchange information." He knew that Bo's ability to grasp the whole situation relied on the information leaked from the intelligence department who did not know where he was.
"Yeah, those two people just went up from here." Mei Le pointed to Kuroki Ren to the straight ladder facing the bartender.
"Two people?"
"The man who listened to their conversation seemed to be a supervisor in the trading department. He asked me for a drink and then they left."
"But I saw that man secretly taking that medicine."
