Thinking of this, Jiang Hang felt a chill run down his spine.
Meanwhile, after seeing that Jiang Hang, who might become the new owner of the cinema, respected his work, Furuhashi's attitude towards Jiang Hang improved considerably.
After carefully explaining his usual work to Jiang Hang, he also enthusiastically explained the uses of the various machines in the projection room.
After exchanging a few words with the other party, Jiang Hang began to observe the screening room.
Through the peephole next to the projection window, Jiang Hang could clearly see what was happening in the screening room, and because of the angle, he could observe the every move of the audience in the screening room.
In fact, most screening rooms have such viewing windows to allow staff to observe, but not many people know that they exist.
Beside Jiang Hang, Furuhashi Minoru said to Jiang Hang with some helplessness that some couples who come to see the movie think that no one can see what they are doing in the dark, so they do some inappropriate things in the screening room. In fact, most of their actions can be noticed by the police.
Of course, in most cases, as long as the couples don't disrupt the movie screening and don't actually turn the movie theater into a battleground, the staff will pretend they didn't see anything.
Jiang Hang suspected that this veteran projectionist, who had worked as a projectionist for more than ten years, was up to something, but he had no evidence.
His gaze was fixed on the screening room.
The screening room connected to this screening room is not the same screening room that showed Gomera. The film currently being shown is an indie film, and there aren't many viewers in the entire screening room.
"The attendance at Gomera Cinema is actually quite good today. Although it's a movie from a few years ago, there are quite a few old viewers who want to come back to watch it again because of the discount coupons and vouchers." Furuhashi Minoru seemed to want to take Jiang Hang to the Gomera Cinema screening room, but Jiang Hang refused.
After all, Oda Taisei, the leader of the Oda-gumi, is currently sitting in the front row of this screening room watching the movie.
Because he was sitting relatively close to the front, there was no one else around him.
Meanwhile, the "suspected undercover agent" who followed Oda Taisei to the movie theater is now sitting in the most secluded and inconspicuous spot in the theater, watching Oda Taisei's movements in the darkness.
Neither the undercover agent nor Jiang Hang waited long. About half an hour later, another person walked into the screening room and sat down in the row in front of Oda Taisei, hunching over.
As it turns out, even a yakuza boss like Oda Taisei didn't know about spy windows. If he had, he would never have chosen to conduct secret communications in this place.
Jiang Hang looked at Gu Qiaoren, who also had experience with this.
"Similar things have happened before, probably secret meetings of some organization. But as long as they don't interfere with the cinema's order and aren't carrying any dangerous items, we generally don't get involved. After all, you probably already know from Mr. Muramatsu that just a rogue real estate agent causing trouble can turn our little cinema into a complete mess..."
Furuhashi Minoru's gaze was fixed on Jiang Hang. He knew that his future boss was a detective, but he didn't know what choice Jiang Hang would make when faced with this situation.
“I know what I’m doing,” Jiang Hang nodded, indicating that he was aware of the matter. Even a low-level thug hiring a few hooligans to act in a movie could ruin their small film business, so of course they didn’t want to get involved with or have a conflict with that mysterious group that looked like they were not to be trifled with.
He didn't mention that he was investigating Oda Taisei, but patiently watched Oda Taisei talk to the man who appeared to be an undercover police officer in the screening room.
The whole process did not last long. After more than ten minutes, Oda Taisei was the first to leave the screening room.
He didn't notice the mole in the secluded corner whom he desperately wanted to get rid of immediately.
However, the person who arrived later, in order to avoid being noticed, left the screening room with a hunched posture more than twenty minutes into the movie.
He certainly wouldn't have known that as he left, two pairs of eyes appeared behind him.
One pair of eyes was behind him, while the other was in the sky.
Jiang Hang remained in the movie theater. Now that he knew the identities of the moles on both sides, there was no need to rush.
Chapter 255: Chapter 253: Undercover Agent and Friend
Jun Moriya, 29 years old, is a member of the Oda-gumi of the Nisshin-kai gang. He is responsible for checking the quality of drugs during drug transactions within the gang.
But in reality, only his superior and a few other people in the world knew that he was actually an undercover agent sent by the Metropolitan Police Department to infiltrate the Oda Group.
To be precise, in Japan this is called an undercover investigator.
Thanks to Japan's developed adult industry, a significant number of adult men would probably smile knowingly when they hear the term "undercover investigator."
But for Jun Moriya, who graduated from police academy at the age of 20 and has been undercover as an undercover investigator for almost nine or ten years, this is nothing to laugh about. He even feels a bit uncomfortable when he hears the term now.
Becoming an undercover investigator was initially a very rewarding experience for him. Over the years, he used the intelligence he gathered to help the Metropolitan Police Department resolve many troublesome gang cases.
But after living among these gangs for several years, he was inevitably affected.
As a symbol of the Japanese yakuza, tattoos are naturally indispensable, along with various bad habits that are considered offensive by the police.
In addition, almost every year he hears stories of the tragic fates of undercover investigators who have been discovered.
Four years ago, he heard that a friend of his from his police academy days had died in the line of duty when his identity was exposed while infiltrating another mysterious organization. Moreover, four years have passed since his friend's death, but that mysterious organization still exists, and another friend of his is still working undercover in it.
From then on, his desire to return to the Metropolitan Police Department and become a policeman again grew stronger.
On one hand, he wanted to return to the Metropolitan Police Department, and on the other hand, he was worried about being discovered by the Oda Group. Under such anxiety, he gradually began to suffer from insomnia, and even when he did fall asleep, it was difficult for him to get a good night's sleep.
The more sleep-deprived he is, the more likely he is to develop mental problems.
In recent years, his violent tendencies have become increasingly apparent. In fact, he has become much more ruthless in gang fights in recent years. His superiors have to emphasize to him every time they meet that he is a police officer and not a gangster.
Of course, he had mentioned his mental state to his superiors more than once over the past few years, expressing his desire to no longer continue as an undercover officer. Even if he returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, he could easily be a traffic cop or even a clerical office worker.
He even said that if he were allowed to stay in the gang, he might actually develop a mental breakdown.
Time flies, and so many years have passed. He is still an undercover investigator. The only change compared to ten years ago is that his friends from the police academy have left one by one for various reasons, and his rank has been promoted to assistant inspector, known only to a few people in this world.
However, recently, he finally had another opportunity to reinstate his police officer status.
Six years ago, under the instructions of his superior, he joined the Oda Group, which had just merged into the Muddy Sankai. With his experience in the yakuza for three or four years, he gradually gained the trust of Oda Group leader Oda Taisei.
Now the Oda-gumi has become a force to be reckoned with within the Muddy Sand Association, and the Metropolitan Police Department has finally decided to completely eradicate the Oda-gumi.
The drug deal two days ago was the best opportunity. If we could catch them red-handed, Oda Taisei would only have to spend ten years or so in prison. Perhaps we could get some information from this important member of the Muddy Ginseng Association that would severely damage the Muddy Ginseng Association.
Furthermore, his superior assured him that once the Oda Group was dealt with, he would be transferred back.
However, he was very well prepared and successfully transmitted the transaction information in the nightclub. Furthermore, using the plaster cast on his hand as cover, he successfully concealed the listening device hidden in the ring.
What he didn't expect was that what he thought was his last operation turned out to be a mole from the Mud Ginseng Association found inside the Metropolitan Police Department.
Although this operation successfully caused Oda Taisei to lose drugs worth hundreds of millions of yen, the police still did not have enough evidence to send Oda Taisei to prison.
As long as Oda Taisei doesn't go to prison, he, as an undercover investigator, must continue his work.
His current task is to find evidence of the Oda Group's crimes or directly expose the mole's identity before Oda Taisei discovers that he is an undercover agent.
Today, he noticed Oda Taisei's movements, so he avoided the eyes and ears of everyone in the gang and followed Oda Taisei to this movie theater, where he discovered Oda Taisei meeting with a "mysterious figure".
If I'm not mistaken, that person is probably a mole within the Metropolitan Police Department.
He followed the mole out of the movie theater, but apart from seeing the man's back, he didn't actually see his face. And for safety's sake, after sensing that the mole might have noticed that he was being followed, he still couldn't follow him to the very end.
But that's enough. Now that he was able to see the other person's back this time, he'll be able to find out their true identity next time.
He has now arrived at an ordinary restaurant, where he sits alone, waiting for the waiter to come and take his order.
A short while later, a blond male waiter came to his side and took his order.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, sir. What would you like to order this time?"
Jun Moriya's gaze fell on the rather handsome waiter with a wheatish complexion in front of him.
After their eyes met, Jun Moriya seemed much more relaxed than before.
The other person was probably the only friend I could completely trust after I became an undercover agent.
“You’re still here,” he said, looking at the other person, then lowered his voice, “I’m going back.”
Upon hearing Moriya Jun's words, the male waiter did not show any other expression on his face, but simply nodded at Moriya Jun.
"Is it the same as before? I understand."
He didn't have to wait long. When a dish was served, the waiter smiled at Moriya Jun and said, "Please enjoy your meal."
As the waiter brought the food to the table, Jun Moriya seemed to hear a reminder in his ear: "Be careful."
Moriya Jun nodded slightly.
"You too."
This marked the end of their conversation.
After that, the two never even met eyes again.
Chapter 256: Chapter 254: I am a community volunteer providing warmth.
After having dinner and leaving the restaurant, Jun Moriya glanced at the blond waiter inside from outside the restaurant.
He had five close friends from his time at police academy.
Since graduating from police academy, the other four have either died in the line of duty as police officers, or, like him, were killed by the organization they infiltrated after their identities were exposed after becoming undercover investigators.
Today, only he and the other person are still alive.
Ironically, both of them are now undercover investigators whose identities cannot be revealed, and they cannot even attend the funeral of a friend from the past.
Unlike Moriya Jun, who infiltrated a gang and became a member, the organization he infiltrated was not, strictly speaking, one of Japan's legal yakuza organizations, but a transnational criminal organization with a more mysterious and extensive background.
At least, Jun Moriya had never heard of that organization's name within the Oda-gumi, nor did he know what that organization was trying to do in Japan.
But he knew that the mission the other party was carrying out was probably much more dangerous than his own.
To be honest, after he became an undercover investigator, in order to better complete his undercover mission, he had already kept a certain distance from his former friends ten years ago.
If it weren't for a coincidence, he wouldn't have known that the other person had also become an undercover investigator five years ago.
The two undercover agents, who are working for different organizations, should actually keep their identities secret from each other, as this would increase the risk of their identities being discovered by the organizations they have infiltrated.
However, both of them had extensive undercover experience, so even if they guessed these things, they didn't say them directly. They just kept the truth to themselves.
So, without their superiors knowing, these two former best friends would tacitly meet privately every now and then. Sometimes it would be Moriya Jun going to the restaurant where the other worked for a meal, and sometimes the other would show up in the territory where he was assigned to collect protection money. In short, they would just inform each other that they were still alive.
It had been a month or two since the two last met. This time, Moriya Jun felt that he might be able to end his ten-year undercover career after completing this job, so he went to meet with the other party before it all ended and told him about this matter.
Back in his house after leaving the restaurant, Jun Moriya began to write down his tracking report for the day.
Oda Taisei met with a mysterious figure at the movie theater today, and the person in question is very likely the mole hidden within the Metropolitan Police Department.
If this message is passed on to his superior, and if the Metropolitan Police Department can investigate the footage captured by the cameras near the movie theater, perhaps one of the cameras will have captured the other person's true face.
"It should be over soon," Jun Moriya breathed a slight sigh of relief after finishing the report and putting it in a password-protected, hidden folder.
Just as he was muttering to himself as he closed his laptop, a slow, deliberate knocking sound came from outside his door.
Jun Moriya's expression tightened slightly.
It's already eight or nine o'clock at night, and even his underling, who usually likes to come here to see him when he has nothing to do, wouldn't usually come at this time.
Moreover, given the other person's impatient nature, they would never knock so gently; at most, they would just bang on the door a few times and then pull it open and come in.
