Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Now, on their way to find Masami Hirota, they've encountered another corpse...

Is this woman named Masami Hirota an incarnation of death? Why is it that people always die along her journey?

The child whom Ran Mouri called Conan thought to himself.

While Kogoro Mouri and the others were calling the police, Li Xin and Masami Hirota had already withdrawn one billion yen from the hotel.

"Akami Miyano?"

"Yes, that is my real name. Hirota Masami is a pseudonym I adopted for this bank robbery."

Hirota Masami, no, it was Miyano Akemi who told Li Xin her name, which shows that she has now completely placed her bets on Li Xin.

"What exactly is this organization you're talking about?"

Li Xin asked Miyano Akemi.

Next, he was going to rescue Miyano Akemi's sister, who was being held captive by the organization. Li Xin felt it was necessary to ascertain the organization's background before he barged in and found it full of powerful and unapproachable individuals.

Having spent a long time with Crocodile, Li Xin also understood the importance of intelligence.

"It was a vast organization shrouded in mystery."

When Miyano Akemi spoke to Li Xin, Li Xin clearly felt her body shrink slightly, obviously showing her great fear of that organization.

But thinking of her younger sister, Miyano Akemi found courage again. She said, "I am just a low-level member of that organization. I don't even know the name of the organization. I only know that the organization's representative color is black, and all the members usually wear black clothes."

"Black clothes?"

Li Xin paused for a moment, looked down at his clothes, and then said to Miyano Akemi, "So that's why you thought I was one of your people just now?"

Akemi Miyano nodded awkwardly: "My superior in the organization is a very suspicious person. I thought you were someone he sent to monitor me."

Li Xin nodded slightly, as if a mystery in his heart had been solved.

"So, what's the level of military strength of your organization?"

Li Xin asked Miyano Akemi.

"Ordinary members are just like ordinary people, but I heard that the core members are all highly skilled, far more capable than ordinary people, and proficient in firearms, making them very strong."

Akemi Miyano told Li Xin.

What are the main attack methods?

Li Xin asked.

"Pistols, but it seems there are snipers as well."

Akemi Miyano replied.

"Okay, I understand."

Li Xin nodded slightly.

If the main means of attack is firearms, it means that even if the Black Organization members have some strength, it is not very strong.

Look at those guys in the Ikari Warriors. Although they're mercenaries, they don't use firearms. That's because with their strength, not using firearms is better than using them. At most, they carry grenades, and the power of grenades is still enough to impress them.

Li Xin's training in firearms under Long Wu in the Kingdom of Mo was not just to gain another way to attack, but also to learn how to deal with firearms.

Only by understanding firearms can one better deal with them. Li Xin is now very clear about the lethality limits of conventional firearms and can make more reasonable responses to them. If the black-clad organization's only means of attack are various firearms, then they are finished.

"It wasn't for nothing that I waited so long, this billion yen is mine now!"

A voice suddenly rang out from behind the two. Li Xin stomped his foot on the ground, the ground generating a reaction force on his foot. This reaction force traveled through his foot to his waist, and Li Xin twisted his waist and threw a punch. This power was converted through his waist strength, and his arm drove his upper arm to generate force. With one punch, he directly sent the person behind him flying dozens of meters away.

"Looks like you're quite popular."

After knocking one person away, Li Xin said to Miyano Akemi.

Akemi Miyano swallowed hard. She had never seen this kind of power in the organization before. If it was this person, perhaps he really could help her rescue her sister.

"Who was that person just now...?"

Akemi Miyano asked Li Xindao.

"They must be hitmen who came to make some extra money."

Li Xin replied.

The person who was just knocked away and the short guy from before were probably both assassins who came to Tokyo because of the Revenge Fund.

Because of Kazuo Tsukamoto's revenge fund, many powerful assassins from all over the world gathered in Tokyo. Although many assassins left in anger because Eiji Tsukamoto pocketed the 100 million US dollars, there are still quite a few assassins in Tokyo who came because of the revenge fund. This short guy and the guy who just knocked the other away must have seen the news about the 1 billion yen robbery in the newspaper, so they wanted to double-cross him.

The saying "Since we're already here" isn't unique to the Central Plains. Those assassins traveled thousands of miles to Tokyo, only to end up with nothing. That's not good, so it's normal for them to get interested after seeing the 1 billion yen robbery. Those assassins who came for the revenge fund are not only strong, but most of them also have some investigative and tracking skills. If Li Xin can find Hirota Masami, they can naturally find her too. Besides the short guy and the person from before, others should be coming soon. It seems that we really need to hand over this 1 billion yen to the police as soon as possible.

....................................

At a dock in Tokyo, a blond man exuding a cold aura stood on a high place. He was wearing a black trench coat, and his face was half-hidden by his hat and bangs, but even the half-hidden face already looked very cold.

He observed intently, taking in the entire dock, not wanting to miss any subtle changes.

Rye (Rye Whiskey), Shuichi Akai, your lover is about to be killed! Where are you now? Come out now! No, you'll only see her cold corpse... no, you won't even see her corpse!

The blond man murmured to himself.

Behind him, a burly man in black hung up the phone and said to the blond man, "Brother, Miyano Akemi hasn't arrived yet."

"Not here yet?"

The blond man glanced at his watch. Almost an hour had passed since the agreed time. Did that woman not want her sister anymore?

This blond man is Gin, Miyano Akemi's superior in the Black Organization. He is also the one who planned this billion yen robbery. However, his real purpose is not for the billion yen, but to lure out Miyano Akemi's lover, Shuichi Akai, an FBI agent who once infiltrated the Black Organization and even came close to the organization's core.

Five years ago, the man joined the Black Organization after meeting Akemi Miyano. Due to his outstanding abilities, he became a core member of the organization and was given the codename "Rye," which means rye whiskey.

However, during an operation, he slipped up and was discovered to be an undercover agent, which led to his being hunted down by the organization.

The man was also single. After realizing he had been exposed, he didn't hesitate at all and abandoned his girlfriend of three years, running away without a trace. Moreover, he really hadn't contacted Miyano Akemi for two years. Gin had been watching Miyano Akemi for three years, waiting bitterly for three years, but he hadn't heard a single word about Akai Shuichi. Finally, he couldn't wait any longer, so he devised this scheme against Miyano Akemi.

The claim that "as long as you complete the mission, you and your sister will be released from the organization" is obviously a lie. Once you join the organization, there is no way to leave except by dying in the line of duty.

But Gin deliberately gave Miyano Akemi this hope, and after leaving the organization, who could Miyano Akemi rely on? Who could she turn to? Of course, only Akai Shuichi!

Therefore, Akemi Miyano will definitely contact Shuichi Akai and ask him to come and pick her and her sister up.

Furthermore, Gin knew perfectly well what those behind Shuichi Akai truly desired. Akemi Miyano's sister, Shiho Miyano, the organization's top scientist, was an irresistible temptation for them. Therefore, knowing that Akemi and Shiho could leave the organization, even if they doubted the veracity of the claim, they would definitely send Shuichi Akai. Then, Gin could eliminate this traitor he had been longing for. But…

Why? Why have I been waiting at this agreed-upon location for so long? Not only Shuichi Akai, but even Akemi Miyano hasn't come? Has that woman abandoned her sister? Impossible! She cherishes her sister the most; she wouldn't leave her alone. This is impossible!

Gin, who is usually calm, became anxious. He had set up many traps at the dock, just waiting for the prey to come so he could tear it apart. But the prey did not come and the bait escaped. How could he accept this?

Something must have delayed things; women, they're just unreliable, that's how it is...

Gin told himself this, refusing to believe that his plan could go wrong.

A cold wind blew by, and Vodka shivered. He said to Gin, "Brother, it's so cold in here..."

Although it is summer now and they are wearing more clothes, this is a pier, and the sea breeze is so strong and humid that it still makes people feel cold.

"Vodka, shut up!"

Gin said in a low voice.

I'm freezing too!

Chapter 135 More Money, You Scoundrel!

After handing over 1 billion yen to the Metropolitan Police Department for counting and verification, confirming that it was indeed the 1 billion yen stolen in the 1 billion yen robbery case, the Metropolitan Police Department summoned staff from 4L Bank. The 4L Bank staff happily promised that after completing the procedures in a few days, they would hand over the 100 million yen reward to Li Xin.

However, in addition to the bounty, the Metropolitan Police Department also questioned Li Xin about how he planned to recover the 1 billion yen.

Li Xin explained to the Metropolitan Police Department that he found a set of keys while passing by the hotel entrance. He discovered that the keys belonged to the hotel front desk for storing luggage and wanted to return them to the owner. However, since he did not know who the owner was, he could only open the luggage to see if there was anything inside that could identify the owner. He then discovered that the five aluminum alloy suitcases were full of cash, totaling a total of one billion yen. This reminded him of the recent high-profile one billion yen robbery case, so he brought the money to the Metropolitan Police Department. Everything he did was reasonable and legal.

This explanation is impeccable. At least the Metropolitan Police Department cannot prove that Li Xin is lying, and the 1 billion yen is indeed the batch that was lost from 4M Bank. The serial numbers match, so the Metropolitan Police Department can only temporarily accept Li Xin's statement.

Although the 100 million yen will not be given to Li Xin for a few more days, the money is relatively secure. Unless 4M Bank and the Metropolitan Police Department shamelessly renege on the payment, Li Xin will definitely receive the money.

If that's the case, then Li Xin will let them know that the rules are actually meant to protect them, not Li Xin.

After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Li Xin glanced at the Cat's Eye Cafe across the street. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to visit it but instead found Miyano Akemi waiting outside the Metropolitan Police Department: "Alright, my matter is settled. Now it's your turn."

At this time, Akemi Miyano changed her appearance again, changing out of her previous fashionable outfit and becoming an ordinary office worker. However, because of her natural beauty, she still looked very beautiful.

Chika appeared beside Miyano Akemi at some point and said to her, "Do you have any of your sister's belongings on you? If so, I can use them to locate your sister."

Akemi Miyano thought for a moment and said, "You found me using this method?"

Li Xin tossed something to Miyano Akemi: "This is what we used."

Akemi Miyano caught the object; it was the key to the apartment she had left behind.

After the 1 billion yen robbery, fearing being investigated, she made up an excuse to resign from the bank, taking only some personal belongings and leaving the key in her rented apartment before moving to a hotel. She thought she had done a clean job, never expecting that someone would be able to find her through that key.

After returning the key to Miyano Akemi, Li Xin suddenly realized something and asked Chikaro, "Chikaro, if sorcerers have the ability to find people, then why... were we not contacted by anyone afterwards?"

"Who do you think is the reason you and that other person weren't found by those sorcerers?"

Qian Jialu rolled her eyes.

While sorcerers may indeed be inferior to martial artists in direct combat, they are far more useful in other aspects.

Take finding people, for example. There are many ways for sorcerers to find people. Chika can use other people's personal belongings to find people. Some sorcerers can even use the residual aura left at the scene to find the target. The reason why Li Xin and Yi Tianxun were not discovered after assassinating Tsukamoto Kazuo was because Chika had specially processed the scene, making it impossible for sorcerers to find the murderer of Tsukamoto Kazuo by casting spells. They could only use the most ordinary means to investigate, which brought the investigation to a standstill.

If the murderer of Kazuo Tsukamoto can be found quickly, even if Rui Kisei puts pressure on the Japanese government, she will not be able to easily force the Tsukamoto Group to withdraw its revenge fund; it will only make their actions more insane.

Knowing that the killer could not be found in a short time, Eiji Tsukamoto chose to take the revenge fund first, and to turn the investigation from overt to covert. The people hunting down the killer of Kazuo Tsukamoto changed from assassins all over the world to only the Tsukamoto Group.

In this respect, Qian Jialuo did Li Xin and Yi Tianxun a great favor, although she was also protecting herself in doing so.

Thank you.

Li Xin said to Qian Jialuo.

"You're welcome. Just increase my commission a bit, and everything will be fine!"

Qian Jialu smiled.

The cost of living in Tokyo is much higher than she imagined, and she is currently short of money.

"That's two different things."

Li Xin shook his head.

I'm grateful, but increasing my share is just a pipe dream.

Chika: "You stingy little thing, I'll draw a circle and curse you!"

Watching the two argue about money, Miyano Akemi, who should have been preoccupied, couldn't help but want to laugh.

With their abilities, they could easily amass a lot of money, especially just now. Compared to handing over the 1 billion yen to the police and 4M Bank in exchange for a bounty, they would undoubtedly earn more by keeping it directly. There are organizations in the underworld that specialize in collecting this kind of dirty money. Although their commission is relatively high, sometimes as high as 60% or 70%, it is still more than 100 million yen.

However, the fact that the two chose to hand themselves over to the police shows that they were actually following certain rules. If they were willing to follow the rules, they couldn't be that bad.

After exchanging a few words with Chika, Li Xin looked at Miyano Akemi and said, "Alright, let's get back to the point. Ms. Miyano, do you have any of your sister's personal belongings?"

"This one……"

After thinking hard for a while, Akemi Miyano shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any. The organization has been restricting me from seeing my sister. At most, I've only received some postcards from my sister occasionally, and nothing else... Oh, right, is it okay if she wears clothes she wore when she was little?"

Qian Jialu shook her head: "It's too far in the past. It would be best to use something that I've been carrying around for a while so that I can cast the spell."

"Then we'll never find my sister?"

Akemi Miyano said sadly.

She was just a low-level member of the organization, always left to fend for herself outside, and didn't even know where the organization's base was. How was she supposed to find her sister?

Li Xin sighed, then looked at Qian Jialuo: "In that case, you're useless."

Although finding someone is a bit troublesome, it's good to save 10% of the commission.

"What do you mean I'm useless! I have plenty of other methods!"

Qian Jialu glared at Li Xin and said.

What a joke! She was counting on this share to improve her life, how could they just kick her out like that!

Chika said to Miyano Akemi, "It's okay if you don't have any personal belongings. Your sister is your own sister, right?"

Akemi Miyano nodded repeatedly: "That's right, my sister is seven years younger than me, she's my biological sister from both our parents!"

"Then there's no problem!"

Chika said to Miyano Akemi, "In this world, the closest connection is still blood ties. If we are blood relatives, I can directly trace your sister through your blood."
