Chapter 29 Section five

After that, according to Lao Tie's suggestion, Takezawa, Kantaro, Shinhiro, and Yahiro went back to the hotel to rest temporarily.Until tomorrow morning, nothing should happen in the office.And when there is no way to use water, electricity and gas.It is indeed difficult for everyone to live here, so a shift system is still adopted. "I'm here to listen." Back at the hotel, taking a shower one by one, Wu Ze started sorting out the post-it notes that the five people, including Lao Tie, had recorded their bank accounts.The other three people helped to compare, while correcting misheard places, they sorted them out on a report paper.A list of about fifteen accounts was quickly made.

At the end of the work, although the body did not exercise, fatigue and drowsiness suddenly surged.The other three seem to be doing the same.Although I am a little sorry for the old iron who stayed up all night, I still have to go to bed.Turn off the lights, go to bed, and close your eyes. However, a few minutes later, Wu Ze suddenly trembled in the darkness and opened his eyes. The phone is ringing.It was Wu Ze's cell phone beside his pillow.The moment he pressed the call button and put the phone to his ear, there was a hasty breathing from the other end of the phone. "It's the mouth of the fire."

The old iron voice was very excited.Wu Ze immediately sat up, covered the microphone with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Are you in the office?" "Yeah, just now. I came back with that organizer and Nogami—the three of us are going out now." The old iron is still panting.Mahiro, Yahiro, and Kantaro also sat up from the bed.Looking at Wu Ze. "What did you say?" "I recorded them all. I stayed here for this purpose. I recorded them as soon as the three of them returned to the office. Are you ready, Lao Wu? I'll play it for you." There was a creaking sound from the phone.Old iron, the speaker of the tape recorder should be pressed on his mobile phone.Start playing.The voice of the old iron came from a distance.Then there's the sound of the tape.

"There's no reason to do that. Do you still have time to wander around Kabukicho while you're preparing for a new base?" There are many sibilants in this sentence.Harsh dentate fricative.Seven years ago, on the TV screen of the home appliance store, the face of Huokou was whitened by media flashes.The thin lips that said something to Wu Ze through the screen at that time. The organizer and Nogami apologized in a low voice.Judging from the content of the conversation, it seems that two people were wandering in Kabukicho, and they were hit by a fire by accident, or they were called out on the phone, and now they are taken back to the office.

The voices of the burners and trimmers continued. "You said the new phone is coming, right?" "Ah, yes, here. There are ten of them. For a thousand dollars, they are as good as new ones." "A thousand dollars." "It is said that it is a disposal product, and the quantity is limited. There are only ten left, so we bought all of them first. We think the new base can also be used. There are not enough telephones, right?" "The base in East Ikebukuro is about five more. You can take them early tomorrow morning. Put the rest here first." It seems to mean keeping five of the ten phones that Wu Ze and the others sent.

"That's right... Mr. Kakuchi, will you live here permanently in the future? This office, you said that you want to use it as the center of the organization, right?" "Well, otherwise, it would be too troublesome to go back and forth in various bases every day. But even if you can show up during this period, this is the time. Well, that's right... After a while, everyone has settled down. Let's buy some desks here something." Huokou said and laughed. "By the way, how about preparing a 'President' sign? Here, just put it on the desk." Huokou's snort came from the phone, and he seemed quite complacent.It seems that Huokou has recently become the leader of the organization.The content of the dialogue gives such a feeling.

"Well, actually, I don't have time to sit leisurely. It is said that the protection fee in this area will increase recently, so I have to work hard." Protection fees are actually money paid to the underworld in exchange for permission to do business within their sphere of influence.Although the levy on ordinary businessmen has decreased since the implementation of the Violence Law, it seems that the levy is still being imposed on businesses like Huokou. "Expansion of the organization, and the matter of Wu Ze, because it's a last word, we can't let it go."

Last words? Nogami cut in with a low voice: "By the way, Mr. Huokou, what about that matter? That guy Wu Ze." There was a bang, and Nogami's voice was interrupted by a heavy knock on the table or something else.The air seemed to be tense, and there was a moment of silence—then the voice of the fire mouth came again: "I said what I said, let me think about it, yesterday." "Yes, um, indeed." "Stop asking." Then there was no sound.It wasn't that the wiretapping was interrupted, but that the three of them stopped talking.With a click, the tape stopped.Lao Tie said to the phone: "Then they didn't talk anymore. Well, just a while before I called Lao Wu, the three of them left the office again—I said Lao Wu, and they finally said 'Last words' or something. Do you know what that means?"

"I still want to ask you..." In the darkness, six eyes looked at Wu Ze anxiously.
