The four of them gathered around the campfire, eating skewers, fruits, and drinking beer.
Chi Feichi also helped grill a fish and some vegetables.
It’s almost four o’clock in the morning after we’ve had enough wine and food.
By the time I packed my things and rushed back to Tokyo to take the dumplings back to the zoo, the sky was getting brighter.
Due to the surveillance situation near Target No. 4's residence, the four simply went to No. 119 together.
In the living room, Chi Feichi used his computer to call up the camera surveillance video and projected it on the wall.
Fei Chi slept under Chi Fei Chi's clothes during the day yesterday, and spent the night with Tuanzi making trouble last night. His routine was completely messed up, and he lazily lay down on the sofa and took a nap at dawn.
Takato Yannan was also a little sleepy.
Recently, because he had to observe whether his boss who had a seizure disorder jumped off the building, his schedule changed to go to bed early and get up early. He got up early yesterday and stayed up all night last night. He felt that his schedule was messed up again.
Turning around, Gin was sitting on the sofa smoking with a cold face, and Vodka was lighting up the cigarette beside him. It seemed that he was very used to staying up late and didn't feel sleepy at all.
His boss was also calmly concentrating on playing with the projection, and he didn't seem sleepy.
Takatori Yannan was speechless and lit a cigarette, so let's get through it together...
Vodka looked at the picture projected on the opposite wall, "Huh? Are there so many crows over there?"
In the picture captured by the camera, it was dawn and there were many large crows standing on the telephone poles and walls near the residential area. They opened their mouths and screamed at the old woman who came out of the apartment building.
Ginjiu looked at Chi Feichi who was coming back, "Did you do it?"
"No," Chi Feichi sat back on the sofa and looked at the projection, "Crows hold grudges. It's probably because she attacked and drove away crows, and they hated her."
In the projection screen, an old woman with short hair was wearing a black dress and a dark purple vest, carrying a slender stick to the garbage dump opposite the apartment, waving the long stick to drive away the crows flying above the garbage bags.
Target No. 4, Egami Tatsue.
Egami Tatsue has never been married. She has a nephew named Egami Yuanji, who is the orphan left by her younger brother.
In the eyes of people who know him, Egami Genki is a big guy who doesn't have a serious job and doesn't look like a good person. No one knows what he is doing, but he can always spend money to eat and drink. Tatsue Egami comes to his door. When seeking help, he could also spend money to send Egami Tatsue.
One day a year ago, Egami Tatsue once again sought help from his nephew but failed. When he went back three days later, he found that the man seemed to have never returned, so he reported the case to the police station.
After receiving the news, the police immediately launched an investigation.
There was nothing gained from the surrounding neighbors. Jiang Shang Yuanji often ran away for several days without a trace. Coupled with his ruthless temperament, the neighbors had no time to hide, and no one paid attention to when he went out or when he came back.
There were no clues in the house. Although the police suspected that Egami Yuanji had a residence elsewhere, they found no corresponding clues.
The person's whereabouts were not found out, but the police found that Jiang Shang Yuanji was probably related to a murder case.
Soon, the body of Egami Yuanji was found. He died of a gunshot wound to the center of his eyebrow and the bullet penetrated his skull. He had been dead for a week when he was found and reported the crime.
In the end, the police concluded that the big man was silenced by his accomplices. However, after a long period of investigation, there were no clues about the accomplices, so they could only slowly shelve the case.
In fact, Egami Yuanji is a peripheral member of the organization. He usually fights bravely and dares to shoot two bullets at people when he gets a gun. He has the courage to fight and charge, and has been in the organization for several years. He can be regarded as one of the more peripheral members. One of the few people who must be reused. He has participated in some operations and has come into contact with more than one core member. Sometimes he is also involved in monitoring and protecting core members.
A year ago, something went wrong during Egami Yuanji's mission, leaving behind enough clues for the police to track him down. It was also an indelible clue that allowed the police to take him back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation.
If such a person was caught, he would probably reveal more things than a new core member. The organization decided to kill the person first and clear them out before the police investigated Egami Yuanji.
The person responsible for silencing him was Gin.
At the same time, Egami Yuanji had already rented a house under another identity outside in order to organize activities and hide thermal weapons. After he was cleared, someone searched the rental house and set it on fire. Er Jing left no clues.
Originally, the matter ended here, and the organization had no intention of taking action against Egami Tatsue, because judging from the police investigation, Egami Tatsue had no knowledge of the organization's affairs, and did not know much about Egami Yuanki's affairs.
But a month ago, Gin received an email from an unknown email address:
[You are Yuan Ji’s accomplice, right? You killed him and let him bear the crime of murder alone. Shouldn't you give some compensation to his only relative in the world? I want five million yen. You can refuse, but in that case, I will give your email address to the police. The police are still investigating the murder case a year ago. I think the police will be happy for me to provide clues to Yuan Ji's accomplices. of. 】
Chi Feichi didn't know if Ginjiu's mind was stuck for two seconds after receiving the email. In short, Ginjiu's judgment was——
1: The other party doesn’t know much about the organization.
2: I can’t bear to give up this email address, and it’s very troublesome to give up, so let’s stabilize the person first and silence him.
Gin replied to the email:
【Your name and address? 】
Egami Tatsue honestly reported her name and address, and urged the money to be delivered to her doorstep as soon as possible.
Gin said OK and turned the matter over to two peripheral members for confirmation and investigation.
First of all, we need to confirm whether the name and address mentioned in the email are true, and we need to investigate how the other party knew Gin's email address and where the loopholes were.
Secondly, you need to confirm whether the other party has told others about it, and whether he wants to clean up other people along the way.
Finally, follow and monitor him for a while to see what kind of person he is, and whether he will leave behind the idea that a certain package will be sent to the Metropolitan Police at a certain time after his death.
If the situation is complicated and peripheral members cannot handle it, core members who are good at investigating may intervene later.
It's just that things went terribly smoothly.
Two peripheral members took over the investigation and did not rashly alert Egami Tatsue. They just found out the 'Yuan Ji' mentioned in the email.
It was easy to find out. Egami Tatsuae's only relative was a nephew, and Egami Yuanji's name, photo, original address, etc. were quickly investigated.
Vodka looked at the photo and said: Brother, we know this person...
The identity of the peripheral members of the Egami Yuanji organization was confirmed, and Egami Tatsue may indeed be the person who sent the email.
Two peripheral members then began a surveillance investigation of Egami Yuanji, and other peripheral members also intervened in the investigation.
Half a month later, the results of the investigation came out.
It should be that when Egami Yuanji was alive, he accidentally sent an email to Gin and Egami Tatsue accidentally caught a glimpse of some of the numbers. Egami Tatsue did not lock Gin's email address, but just locked a few of the numbers, and spent one year Time, I sent emails one by one every once in a while and tried various combinations until I found Gin’s email address.
As for Egami Tatsuae, whose interpersonal relationships were poor and he didn't have a good relationship with his neighbors, it was unlikely that he would tell others about the incident. After investigation, it turned out that there was no backup plan.
Then the matter will be easier to handle, just deal with the person directly.
Gin had said at the beginning that he would report the results immediately after completing the investigation. It seemed that he wanted to go to the door in person and kill the guy who dared to blackmail him. However, perhaps after receiving the intelligence, he found out that she was an old lady with no offensive power, who was similar to the enemy he expected. Due to the gap, Gin is no longer interested, or maybe Gin has had a lot of cleanup tasks recently, and Egami Tatsue was just included in the cleanup list and then selected by him.
The reason why he chose Egami Tatsue was that he remembered this plot and Egami Tatsue would be solved soon.
Because she dresses in black, gossips a lot, likes to dig through garbage bags in garbage dumps, and peek into other people's privacy, she is also nicknamed "Grandma Crow".
He remembered that the reason why Tatsuae Egami was killed was because Tatsuae Egami went through the trash of the woman upstairs and found a breakup letter from her boyfriend. After picking it up and reading it, she still held the breakup letter. Go to the other party's store and laugh at them loudly.
This is an old lady who is good at committing suicide.
…
In front of the apartment building in Mikka Town.
After Tatsue Egami used a stick to drive away the crows, he opened a garbage bag and poked around inside with a stick, trying to find something he was interested in.
She has really turned a corner this month.
A month ago, she was standing on the balcony of her home watering the flowers when she suddenly discovered that the crows on the garbage dump across the street were very annoying, dirty and ugly, and they were squawking incessantly. She couldn't help but go downstairs with a stick to kill the crows. The crows drive away.
That was the day she got the email she'd been trying for a year to get right.
Although the other party did not admit that she was Yuan Ji's accomplice, he actually asked for her name and address. It seemed that she really planned to send money, so she had the right to give it a try, as long as she could get the money.
While she was waiting for the owner of the email address to send money, she couldn't help but chase away those pesky crows at the garbage collection area. As a result, she found a lottery ticket in a garbage bag. She took it home and actually won the third prize. Got a lot of money.
Fortunes came one after another, so she started to drive away the crows every morning, then occupied the garbage dump and rummaged through the garbage inside.
Because maybe one day I will find a lottery ticket again?
She is different. As long as she competes with the crow for territory, she will be so lucky!
After that, although she didn’t pick up any lottery tickets, she discovered that domestic garbage is really a treasure place. She picked up pearl earrings, gold handicrafts, and also picked up some interesting letters and labels. These interesting things can make people happy. She saw behind the glamor of those neighbors.
Yes, no matter how glamorous those people look on the outside, their lives are not as good as that of an old lady like her!
"Gah! Gaah!"
The crows nearby were very big. Even after being driven away by Egami Tatsue, they did not leave. They stood on nearby telephone poles and walls and screamed strangely at Egami Tatsue.
"Keep picking up, there are good things inside!"
"Look carefully for the gold ring specially prepared for you!"
Egami Tatsue found a small gold ring, and her eyes lit up. She took the gold ring out of the garbage bag, wiped it, and put the gold ring into her pocket. She found that the crows around her were looking at her and calling, which seemed to come from He snatched the confidence of good luck from the crow and snorted coldly, "Huh! I've lived several times longer than you bunch of beasts, so I should be able to drive you away. What are you calling me? It's so noisy!"
"Gah!"
The crows didn't seem to understand what Egami Tatsue said, and just stared at her, the person who had expelled them.
