Noriko Okatani wiped her tears and a smile slowly appeared on her face like a flower blooming.

"Mr. Detective, thank you for doing this for me."

"…In the future, I am willing to live. If you think I have anything to help you, please speak up."

"oh?"

Yu Shirakawa was confused.

Immediately, after seeing Okatani Noriko's fanatical expression clearly, he let out a short laugh.

This woman...isn't her mental state becoming abnormal?

Why do you look at yourself, just like a Christian is watching the Messiah?

A bit exaggerated.

but.

I sorted out the causes and consequences of helping the other party take revenge.

Yu Shirakawa felt that it might be the other party who treated him as an important benefactor without authorization?

Well... maybe it's a higher level of existence than the benefactor?

From Okatani Noriko's crazy believer's eyes, Yu Shirakawa could read a lot.

Give an example.

Even if he asked Okatani Noriko to sign a real estate transfer letter and give him the house under his name for free, I'm afraid the other party might not even blink?

Tsk tsk...

This makes me feel a bit like a cult leader.

I just came to ask Noriko Okatani to give up the idea of ​​committing suicide, so as not to implicate myself after the other party's death...

But who would have thought that there would be unexpected gains this trip?

Harvest a small chess piece.

He couldn't help laughing inside, looking at Okatani Noriko whose face said "I'm willing to sacrifice myself" and Yu Shirakawa smiled slightly on the surface:

"You're welcome, Miss."

"...Next, I'll ask you to go home and continue to live a normal life."

"If I need any help in the future, I will contact you... Oh, by the way, this is my private number."

He typed out a string of numbers on his phone and showed it to the other party with a smile.

The latter took it and checked it without any concealment, as if it was a treasure.

During the subsequent conversation, Shirakawa Yu did not disclose the profession of the intelligence dealer.

But he subtly joined Okatani Noriko to the ranks of informants on the intelligence network.

After all, intelligence dealers make a living by selling intelligence, holding many intelligence and handles in their hands.

This countless intelligence comes from the intelligence network.

And his intelligence network is composed of many informants.

Generally speaking, such informants will be police, middle and senior executives of underworld organizations, bartenders, pimps, or bodyguards for big shots.

Such people will provide various information to Shirakawa Yu steadily.

Like others, Mushima Kiriko, Mr. Tani, who has some friendship with Yu Shirakawa, is the deputy director of the hospital...

Or a more ordinary group of people - the owner of the noodle shop, the train waiter, the ordinary company staff, the idle gangster...

Although these people are not informants, as long as Yu Shirakawa makes a phone call and keeps close contact with the other party, he can also get information from them.

It may be useful, for example, a politician and congressman was brought down by someone because he was in the wrong team.

It may also be useless, such as the noodle shop owner, who had been hospitalized a girl who ran away from home before getting off work late at night last night.

The connections built from these people are like a huge spider web, covering the entire city, which makes it possible to have an intelligence house.

As for the spider web in the center, any spider silk that will be noticed immediately is a keen spider that will be aware of when it is moving.

Shirakawa Yu sold intelligence from the beginning to sell it to those who wanted to buy the weaknesses of his opponents, thereby making a profit.

Later, in order to satisfy my own standards, I set up an exclusive website and received some strange commissioned work from the Internet, etc.

——He has done everything, but he basically doesn’t do anything illegal with his own hands...unless he can commit a perfect crime.

Anyway, get back to the point.

He planned to turn Okatani Nobuko into an optional bottom-level informant after the matter was over, as a stop loss.

But now, it seems that this ordinary woman who is useless except for her face and will can do anything for herself...

He is no longer an ordinary person, but a complete tool.

This is worth pondering.

Now he has no place to play chess for the moment, so he keeps this number of chess pieces for the chess game he can use later.

Thinking silently, Shirakawa Yu took Okatani Noriko downstairs and called a taxi home for the other party.

Then, while walking home, he spoke to Ju Zhenye on the phone and instructed him to clean up the mess on the rooftop.

After doing all this, I confirmed the work photos taken by Jushi Masaya in the middle of the night...

Yu Shirakawa nodded with satisfaction and said on his phone:

[Well done by Xiaoju, I will give you half a day off tomorrow and allow you to come to work at noon.]

After thinking about it, I added one more:

【…When you come, please treat you to Oktoriyaki, which is considered a special benefit from the boss.】

He thought that Jushiya had worked hard recently and it was time to give some sweetness.

Yu Shirakawa is a rooster who doesn't like to treat her. Being able to treat her to a snack was his biggest concession.

However--

After a few seconds, Ju Zhenye replied at the speed of light: [No need, Cheng Shi invites me to hot pot tomorrow.]

"Ah..."

Yu Shirakawa held his cell phone and didn't know what to reply for a moment.

He fell into deep thought.

When did the relationship between these two people become so good?

You are obviously the most important boss to you!

I feel so angry that I don’t bring myself to eat hot pot? Is it a workplace violence?

He put down his cell phone with a serious expression.

?The sky is blue, and there are thousands of paper cranes outside the window...

Although it was not windy or rainy, Yu Shirakawa felt so cold.

Just when he was silently heartbroken.

A new message was sent, and the sender showed that it was Dr. Chengshi—

[Shirakawa Jun, are you going to have hot pot together tomorrow at noon? Senior Juju is here too.]

【Okay OK ^W^】

Yu Shirakawa replied to the text message as quickly as possible, and his mood became bright in an instant.

Sure enough, his boss's throne has not changed.

...

The next morning, Yu Shirakawa rode a black motorcycle and came to the unmanned park pavilion to hand over a piece of information with the informant.

That was the information provided to him by a prison guard.

Hand over the sealed file bag.

Open the file bag and there are several photos of the bodies inside.

But when Yu Shirakawa saw it, he frowned deeply, held the photo with a serious look on his face, and looked at it for a while.

After reading all one by one, he spoke to the informant:

"Are you sure that after the judicial dissection of the body, no cause of death was found?"

"Yes." The informant nodded.

"This is strange. There is actually a murderer who can kill people in prison."

Yu Shirakawa thinks something is strange.

He placed one of the photos on the stone table and turned them gently.
