Never thought I would come to this room again.And not as Tateyama Tai who eavesdropped and inspected, but as Takeo Takezawa. Forced to sit on the ground with four others.Huokou, Tidier, Nogami, Old Broad Bean, the thin man with triangular eyes, and the expressionless fat man surrounded them all.Wu Ze has been downcast. From just now, there are two lingering questions in Wu Ze's mind.One of them is very simple-why one's own plan was seen through.Obviously it should be seamless.Obviously, they should have completely fooled them. Standing in front of Wu Ze's mouth, he took the initiative to tell him the answer.The point is that Wu Ze and the others' plans were not discovered, but they were never hidden from them.

"These people all know you. They are all waiting for you. I told them what you look like, and said that as long as this person comes, although I don't know what kind of trap he will make, he will pretend to be deceived first." The worst - Wu Ze whispered in his heart.For a liar, this is the worst kind of failure. "My people are also good at acting, right? Not worse than your companions, right?" The name "Albatross" that Lao Tie gave to this battle may indeed be very appropriate.But Wu Ze and the others are the real goose. "Here, Wu Ze." A look of pity oozes from the thin lips, Huokou bent his tall body and stared at Wu Ze's face.

"You—don't you think it's going too well?" In fact, I thought about it, but I didn't doubt it.It is a pity that most of the failures in life start from letting go of such small questions. "When I heard that Nogami and the others said that they bought a mobile phone for 1,000 yuan, I felt very strange at that time. No matter how processed the product is, the price is too cheap." Huokou didn't let go of a small question. "After thinking about it carefully, I understood. Maybe it was for the purpose of eavesdropping. So I took one from the office and went out to take a look, and I found one that said "Eavesdropping NO." 007 "The black part - although I don't know who was commissioned to do it, but this bug is too easy to identify?"

Naked sarcasm. Finding the wiretap's burner in the disassembled telephone, I began to speculate who set this thing as a trap.No, you don’t even need to think about it first, you will have the answer right away. "The name Wu Ze came to mind immediately." Huokou lowered his voice, and continued with a harsh fricative voice: "It's a counterattack against us, it's revenge for the kitten—isn't it?" In short, it is.But Wu Ze didn't want to nod.The words that come out of this guy's mouth definitely don't want to nod.How can you understand?People like you have always stepped on weak people to live. ——These words overflowed Wu Ze's chest, but it was just overflowing his chest, and nothing was said in his mouth.This is of course, Wu Ze also cherishes life.Although it is not possible to save your life by keeping your mouth shut.

"Since they are going to eavesdrop on my office, the next thing to do is to play tricks, I guess. Hey, this is of course. It doesn't make sense to just eavesdrop on our work. So what are you going to do? How to do it and when to do it? I thought about it for a while. I really just thought about it for a while, oh——First of all, your goal can only be money, because you will never want to deal with opponents like us Use force. Secondly, your motive for getting money can only be when there is a lot of cash in this firm and no one who knows you is there. You must have planned that. Specifically, it is today’s evening.”

The mouth of the fire said one by one. "When the letter listing our bank accounts arrived, I thought this must be part of your plan. However, there are still contingencies in the world. I am also worried about what will happen if the letter is real. Just to be safe , I concentrated all the money in the account in the office. Because it cannot be frozen." Wu Ze was puzzled.If you think that the letter was written by Wu Ze, why did you deliberately concentrate the money in this firm?When he sent the mobile phone before, Huokou should have understood that Wu Ze knew the address of this firm, and he also guessed that Wu Ze and the others were targeting cash.That being the case, shouldn't the money be put in another firm?Wouldn't it be better to put it in a place that Wu Ze absolutely doesn't know about?

This question seemed to show on his face.Huokou explained: "Because I, Wu Ze, I want to take a good look at your tricks. This is also a fun." Hearing this, Wu Ze felt as if all the strength in his body had disappeared.From the shoulders, from the belly, from the heart. "That's why I deliberately concentrated the money in this firm according to your wishes, and then told the people in the firm that if you come, pretend to be cheated, so that I can watch the whole process comfortably." "Watch?" Wu Ze couldn't help raising his head.Does Huokou mean that during the whole process, did he hide somewhere and peek? ——No, it's not.But it should be said that Wu Ze guessed half right.

"Listen all. In the car next to the building. Same way as you." Burner pulled out a rectangular machine from the inside pocket of his jacket.It looked very similar to the receiver that was left in Room 902. "Because you installed FM FM transmitter bugs. As long as you adjust the frequency with a receiver, you can hear the voice of the office just like you. Oh, it's really interesting. It reminds me of spy war radio dramas I used to listen to." It's time." There was indeed joy in the fire mouth's voice. "When you guys entered the office, I couldn't help but slapped my thighs in the car. It's true that I've been concentrating on fraud for the past seven years. Even theft—"

Huokou's words stopped suddenly, as if he was choked by the rushing laughter.He bent down, his upper body shook slightly for a while, finally raised his head, and continued with a bitter face, "Even the 'Eavesdropping and Rehabilitation Team' can figure it out." The sense of humiliation burned in the double breasts of the overalls. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I borrowed the bug that you worked so hard to get. It was a battle that took a lot of trouble. And it makes me feel that there is no difference between a genius and an idiot." The correct answer is the latter.

"By the way, Wu Ze. When I was listening in the car, I really doubted myself a little. Maybe it's a real company. Because there is indeed such a company nearby." "If only I kept thinking like that." It was Mahiro who muttered under his breath.Huokou glanced at her, and continued, "It's your own bosses who revealed their secrets, and it's not my fault." "I... revealed my secrets?" Huokou glanced at the five prepaid mobile phones on the table behind him. "Did you say the word 'prepaid phone' when you tapped the phone with a bug detector?"

——Sorry to ask, when and through what channels did you buy this prepaid mobile phone? He did say that. "Just by looking at the phones, it's impossible to know they're prepaid." Exactly as sold by Fire Mouth.It's all my fault. "When I heard this, I was finally sure. Ah, it really was you—then I lay down in the car and enjoyed it leisurely. Oh, what a realistic acting. The repeater, and the detection one The Finder of the repeater, tricked us into opening the safe, and shot us before it was over. Well, you can't have real guns, I guess you did something with toy guns and gunpowder, and it was really beautiful." Not pretty at all. "The cash in the safe was bagged, and then the toy gun was pulled out - really looking forward to what happened next. I couldn't help but sit up in the car and grip the receiver." Huokou purposely showed that pose to Wu Ze, looking up and continued: "At that moment, I accidentally looked out, and saw a girl in overalls holding a paper bag standing in the corridor on the second floor. I was just wondering what she was doing when I suddenly saw her jump over the railing and onto the roof of the next building. After seeing that scene, I finally understood. You are trying to find a way to get the money out." "...It was seen." Hachimo sighed helplessly. "I thought I couldn't miss the climax of the performance, so I got out of the car and walked to a position where I could see the corridor on the tenth floor. As soon as I walked there, I saw another girl running out of the office with a bag in her arms. It was very similar to the girl who jumped to the top of the next building, and quickly got into the next room." Huokou smiled and looked back at Wu Ze. "That is to say, you are planning to exchange people and bags together, right? What a good idea, it's magnificent. It's my favorite show." But being seen backstage is meaningless. "The bag on the roof next door must have been stuffed with newspapers or something. Or a pillow?" neither.But Wu Ze didn't answer. Heck, Huokou snorted, and leisurely picked up a cigarette.The organizer quickly took out the lighter and lit it for him. Wu Ze sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the smoke slowly wafting from the two thin lips of the tall man's mouth. —One of the two doubts has been solved.Of course, the solution is the solution, and the situation will not change.But I finally understood why my plan failed. One question remains.That question is actually much simpler than the first one.It's a very simple question. "So, can I ask a... little question?" Wu Ze decided to ask directly. "what?" Huokou narrowed his eyes and looked straight down at Wu Ze. "you--" Looking up at his opponent's face, Wu Ze asked, "Who the hell are you?" Lao Tie, Kantaro, Shinhiro, and Yahiro all turned to Wu Ze.Everyone has an "ah" expression on their faces.Wu Ze asked again. "who are you?" Huokou seemed to guess that Wu Ze would ask this question.Not only that, he seemed to be waiting for Wu Ze to ask questions with some kind of fun.Seeing the slight smile on the corner of his mouth, it really showed that feeling. There is indeed a fire mouth in front of me.Listening to his voice, it is indeed the same as the sound of the burner heard through the receiver before.But he was not the fire mouth that Wu Ze knew.If there is any difference, it is very simple, the length is different.And much younger.Huokou in front of him is almost a young man.While the height and the way he speaks is certainly similar, he is not the one he saw seven years ago every day, put himself in illegal work, threatened himself with "do you have a daughter" and murmured disturbing words on the TV screen .The one in front of him was obviously someone else.Who is this guy?Why is it also called the mouth of fire? However, simple and simple questions basically have simple and simple answers.Huokou answered Wu Ze, and when he heard the answer, Wu Ze himself even felt a great disappointment.No suspense, no controversy answer. "The person you hate is my brother." "elder brother……" "Great age difference. Half brothers." A violent rage.Not to the mouth of the fire, of course, but to myself. If you are deceived when you really intend to deceive, then that's all.But not so.That he was so easily deceived was what made Wu Ze most uncomfortable.He couldn't help feeling an empty stupidity.When I heard Huokou's voice on the receiver in room 902, just because of the characteristics of that kind of speech in the voice, I believed that he was that Huokou, and I never doubted it.Who would have thought it was— "Brother..." There was powerlessness in the voice. "Why do you come to trouble me as a younger brother?" Huokou raised his eyebrows slightly, and replied, "No way, because my brother is dead." "died?" "Thanks to your report, my brother was arrested and imprisoned for six years. Besides usury, he also did many other things. Stealing, hurting, intimidating—well, anyway, more and more investigations, a shady one Then, after finally serving his sentence, he was stabbed in the stomach by a middle-aged man." "Been stabbed?" Huokou nodded. "The guy who stabbed him borrowed money and has always held a grudge against his brother. Although he was caught on the spot-thanks to the country-but his brother still can't do it. Oh, by the way, that guy is similar to you. He borrowed money from the organization, What an example of an idiot who ended up messing with his own life. That idiot turned on and hated my brother, like he waited six years for him to get out of prison. That's a lot of perseverance." Wu Ze tried his best to suppress the emotion rushing up his throat. "Wu Ze, you don't read the newspapers, do you? My brother's incident has been reported." Since seven years ago, Wu Ze has basically stopped reading newspapers.Because he feels that things in the world have nothing to do with him. Is that burner dead?Has it been dead for a year? "Then... he left his last words to your younger brother and wants to take revenge on me? I disbanded the organization and sent him to prison, so do you want to take revenge on me?" "Brother is too serious." There was a smile on Huokou's expression. "It used to be like this. I don't know when enough is enough. No matter what time it is, I will never forget the hatred, and I always mind. After I was stabbed, I was about to die, but I still insisted on calling me to come and leave my last words, otherwise it would be a bit The meaning of dying in peace." Wu Ze remembered what Huokou had said a few nights ago. ——The expansion of the organization, and the matter of Wu Ze, because it is the last words, I can't let it go—— Is that the last words of Huokou? "Actually, I don't really want to do this kind of thing." Huokou twisted his neck, seeming quite impatient. "The business of lending money has become more and more strict recently, and the money you earn is also less. As for finding your whereabouts and avenging your brother, it is both troublesome and useless. My brother really found me a headache. ... If you don't have a recreational mind, you will definitely not be able to do this matter." "Just...for fun?" Fire mouth widened his eyes in surprise. "Isn't this natural? It's all entertainment. Do you really think I'm going to kill you?" Wu Ze was speechless.Huokou spread his hands, as if feeling very bored. "Think about setting the fire. The first time you set the fire, well, when you were in the apartment, you deliberately picked it when you weren't there, right? The second time, you tried to pick a place where it wouldn't burn. I really want to If it's your life, there's no reason to do that." Indeed.On this point, Lao Tie has also raised it before.If Huokou and the others really wanted to kill Wu Ze, they should be able to do it anytime.In retrospect, when Nogami and the organizer took golf clubs to their residence, they also gave Wu Ze and the others plenty of time to leave home.That must be a pastime too.It was expected that Wu Ze and the others would peek somewhere—or to make them go home and feel terrified when they saw the mess in the room, so they did this.but-- "What about the cockscomb?" It was not Wu Ze who asked this question.It was asked from Zhenxun's mouth. "Cockscomb?" Huokou frowned. "The kitten...you killed the kitten." Old Tie said in a low voice. "Ah... that cat." Huokou snorted, looked away slightly, moved his pointed throat, paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then continued: "That was a random kill." "Handy - you!" Lao Tie jumped up and was about to say something when Huo Kou suddenly turned around and yelled at him: "Be honest." Dreadful threats echoed through the room.Then, a perfect silence that seemed never before enveloped the room. "——Look at the current situation with your own eyes." Firemouth broke the silence with a low voice. "You wanted to steal our money, but you failed and were caught by us. Now we are stuck in this office again. I think this matter is very troublesome, and I am going to let you go. You should weigh it up, Who has the confidence to speak like that?" Hey, Wu Ze is cold.The other four are probably the same. "Let us go?" Wu Ze couldn't help asking. Huokou turned to Wu Ze and smiled slightly. "As I said, it was just for entertainment. Your performance was very interesting, and it was almost worth the price of admission. I also kept my agreement with my brother. If I continue to engage you, I am just asking for trouble." yes? Wu Ze felt as if all the bones in his body had been pulled out.He looked up dazedly at the mouth of the fire.Could it be——was he liberated just like that?I never dreamed about it. "Nogami, where is the change?" Kakuchi motioned for Mahiro's bag thrown on the ground with his chin.Nogami picked up the bag, opened it and looked at it. "--inside." While talking, Nogami handed the bag to the burner. "Because we don't have so much free time to do it. Wu Ze—you should all go back." Having said this, Kazuru walked towards the room with the safe, carrying the purse containing the money in one hand.The others also moved out of the way, looking at each other with unrelieved expressions on their faces.It looked like they were going to beat Wu Ze and the others up. "Old Wu—" The old iron urged with his eyes.Wu Ze nodded slightly and stood up.The other three also got up quietly.The battle was a complete failure.Nothing was gained, nothing was resolved, and it was over.But Wu Ze was not so stupid as to run away obediently. "That what... we will take our leave." Lao Tie greeted strangely, bowed, turned right bluntly, and walked towards the entrance.Wu Ze and the others followed behind and tiptoed out of the living room. but-- In forty-six years, Wu Ze learned a lesson about life.That is: the trap is always waiting for you at the very end.Of course, the truth of this lesson has not been forgotten at the moment.The tension in the depths of my mind, stretched to the limit as before, is partly due to remembering this lesson. It's a pity that in real life, such things as lessons basically don't work.This is why lessons become lessons. "By the way, Wu Ze, you worked under my brother for a while before." Fire mouth turned around.Although the sound was not loud, the sound of pressing the atomic bomb launch button was also not loud. "If you still want to do it, you can come to me. You seem to be very good at that kind of tricky 'gut pulling'." "Oops I—" "When you forced a woman to commit suicide seven years ago, my brother said that even he was covered in cold sweat. There are not many guys who can do that. I need you here." Leaving behind a smiling expression, Huokou disappeared next door. Without saying anything, Wu Ze turned around and walked towards the entrance.
