Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 31 How Money Came from the Wind

Yūka-cho, Watanuki Credit Co., Ltd.

The moon is at its zenith, it's a good time to work overtime.

The security guard at the entrance of the first floor lobby looked at the time and yawned out of boredom.

It's nine o'clock, and there are still three hours until the shift change.

Japan's bubble economy has burst for many years, and I don't know why there are still so many people who like to consume ahead of time. As a result, he, a gangster, has to work as hard as a corporate slave every day.

But he is quite satisfied with the fact that he can eat and drink well here every day and have fun occasionally.

For example, the one who came this afternoon.

The female high school student at Mika High School is only seventeen years old and is really beautiful.

I heard people chatting at dinner that day and they said that the boss was willing to give her 30 million yuan in an unsecured loan just because of her face.

That woman was so stupid that she actually dared to answer the call.

I also heard that she took out something valuable as collateral, and finally borrowed a total of 70 million yuan.

Haha, she got her head back!
In a month at most, she will definitely appear in the boss' bed. According to past traditions, if he waits a little longer, he can also have a share of the soup.

Unfortunately, this possibility is unlikely this time.

She is so beautiful.

Just like the fairies in anime, or like puppets made of ice and snow, they are so beautiful that they seem unreal.

Alas, the boss will definitely take her as his exclusive lover, and it will be difficult for him to even glance at her in the future.

His young boyish heart that had just begun to stir...

laugh!
Stabbed by some sharp weapon.

He looked down blankly, and saw a flash of bright light, which seemed to be... the reflection of a waning moon.

puff! ! !
Cherry blossoms are blooming above the heart!
Yingsheng's figure was as fast as a ghost. Before the blood splattered, the thin blade in his hand had already wiped the throat of the other security guard, blocking his cry that had not yet come out.

With a gentle wave, a drop of blood flew off, and the thin blade became as smooth as new.

Yingsheng walked quickly towards the lounge without stopping.

At the same time, he was having a friendly conversation with another person in the headphones.

"I don't want a penny, Master Gin, as long as you can find a suitable curtain call for this place."

"why?"

The voice on the other end was very cold, with a slight hoarseness like smoke.

"So that they won't be so nervous and lose their energy, and so that they can continue to spawn monsters when I need them later."

"Oh, you are indeed a lunatic."

"Thank you for the compliment, thank you sir?"

"What if I don't agree?"

"It's nothing more than asking the Sumiyoshi-kai to take action. This is not difficult for me. I give priority to the organization. First, the benefits will not flow to outsiders, and second, our power will be stronger."

The words were simple and clear, which suited Gin's taste, but he still sneered with a playful tone.

"You slept with that old lady from the Sumiyoshi Clan?"

"If you are a vulgar person, you will see vulgarity."

"Tsk, you really deserve to be the top star."

"I'm not accepting male guests for the time being. Sorry, Master Gin. I'm going upstairs now. Bye."

Hotaru hung up the call without caring about the other party's reaction. Anyway, with Gin's rationality, he would never get angry because of a joke.

[Killing Intent +1]

Ha, that guy is definitely a murderer.

Entering the second floor, Yingsheng put away his special thin blade and used a baton instead. Xiaolan broke in from the back door, so she would not meet him on the first floor, but the second floor was connected.

However, as long as the direction is accurate, a baton can also kill someone, and it looks more restrained than using a knife.

But after venting his anger a little, Yingsheng didn't feel the need to kill everyone.

Anyway, these small fry who died suddenly could not give him any killing intention.

Core objectives: collateral, loan contract, and three responsible persons.

Two afternoons out have already been cleared, and now, it’s just a matter of finishing up.

Bang! ! !
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion at the end of the corridor. The door burst open and a shirtless Yakuza flew out. His figure was still in the air when a yellow lightning condensed above his head. Boom!!!

She kicked him right in the dark circle tattoo on his chest.

Ten rings!

The Yakuza vomited blood and fell to the ground, his pupils turned white. Yingsheng saw it from afar and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

This guy wouldn't be doing something bad, otherwise why would Xiaolan be so angry?

"It's okay now, put on your clothes and let's go."

Xiaolan's soft and comforting voice came from the headphones, and the direction she was looking at was naturally the room where she had just made her heroic appearance.

Three seconds later, a sound that was hard to describe was heard from the room, a sound that sounded like a woman crying with regret and a sense of being reborn.

Yingsheng's lips curled up slightly, how lucky.

"Alice, keep your voice down."

"Understood, Tianshu."

In this brightly lit office building, violence and bloodshed continued to unfold. Screams, screams, cries, pleas for mercy... gradually merged into one, playing a frantic and intoxicating nocturne under the moon.

boom!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
It didn't take long before the sound of guns spitting flames was heard on the seventh floor. Xiaolan, who was guarding the door of the office on the fifth floor, showed a trace of worry in her eyes.

But she did not move after all. She just looked coldly at a woman lying on the ground and spoke in a low voice.

"Call the police, turn on speakerphone."

Five minutes later, ding——

The elevator door opens.

Xiaolan was in a karate stance, ready for battle, with the door slightly ajar...

Oops!

It's a black suit!
Xiaolan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she was about to take action first, but the black suit suddenly dropped a bit.

"Don't kill me! I have money! I'll give it all to you!"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, looking at the fat old man who was lying in the elevator and kowtowing, and was about to speak.

Bang!
The white figure behind him suddenly kicked him, knocking him to the ground.

"The old guy is well prepared. He even has a dagger hidden in his shoe." Yingsheng pointed his toes and shot in the air. A bright knife light flashed in the air.

"what!!!"

The old fellow screamed, and his left forearm, which had just been half raised, was nailed to the wall.

Xiaolan showed a trace of pity...

"He is Watanuki Tatsuzo."

The intolerance disappeared.

Xiaolan looked at Yingsheng who had spoken, and Yingsheng handed her a blue folder. Xiaolan opened it and flipped through just two pages, and anger suddenly rose in her eyes.

This document is a chronicle of the major events of this Nimrod branch in the past three years. In the eyes of the Yakuza, it may be considered an outstanding achievement, but in Xiaolan's eyes, no, in the eyes of any person with a sense of justice.

That's a paper full of sins, too numerous to list!

If Xiaolan had any hesitations about the legitimacy of her actions before, all her hesitations disappeared after seeing this document.

"In order to fight for power, this guy even killed cadres of his own organization and buried them in the deep mountains and forests. It even became a TV station filming location and became very popular. It's really disgusting. I almost went there for a date once."

Xiaolan was slightly stunned and quickly flipped through the pages. "Does the annals even mention this?"

Yingsheng raised the notebook in his hand and said, "He actually wrote a diary and even put a bookmark in it. I guess he was quite pleased with it."

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless and turned her head to look at Tatsuzo Watanuki. This yakuza who made her think he was cruel and violent an hour ago has now completely become a clown.

Watanuki Tatsuzo shuddered all over, raised his head, and a greasy and disgusting look of flattery appeared on his old face.

"Sir, as long as..."

Bang!
