Cocktail Bar
When I came here again, nothing had changed.
The bartender was still the same one, and the only two customers at the bar were still wearing all black.
"Good evening, both of you."
Hayashi Yoshiki walked to the bar and sat down next to Gin.
The bartender brought over a drink menu.
When Hayashi Yoshiki picked it up to check, Gin's cold voice rang out: "Are your hands and feet clean?"
"You mean the dump truck?"
Hayashi Yoshiki smiled quietly.
He squinted his eyes slightly behind the silver frame, looking somewhat happy, and continued to answer in that clear voice: "It was just a simple accident. It has nothing to do with me. Please give me a mojito."
Gin sneered.
Hayashi Yoshiki's words were very clear, he did not leave any loopholes.
Furthermore, he should be very proud of his "accidental" crime...
Indeed, that was a most ingenious way to kill someone.
Even if he watched the surveillance video over and over again, he could not find any traces of human intervention. If the incident had not happened right under Gin's nose and there was a countdown, he would not have thought that this was a premeditated murder.
However, although it was very interesting and he couldn't figure out how it was done, Gin was too lazy to think about it.
After all, this method of killing has too many limitations.
Not only does it depend on the location and time, but the target's response method may also lead to different results.
"Speaking of which."
The bartender brought a crystal clear cocktail with mint leaves and lime slices. Hayashi Yoshiki took it, twisted the straw and said:
"It seems like a car had an accident on the way here just now."
"People drive so carelessly nowadays."
Vodka laughed, "Hey," as if he was gloating.
At this moment, Gin's cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He picked up the call without even looking at the number: "It's me."
The next second, Gin's calm expression darkened, and he asked in a cold tone, "What's going on?"
Vodka put down his glass and turned to look at Gin.
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone. Gin's breath became even colder, and then he hung up the phone.
"What's wrong,Big Bro?"
Vodka asked immediately.
However, Gin did not respond. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked at Hayashi Yoshiki coldly: "You are quite brave."
"What's wrong?"
"The member of the organization who was assigned to keep an eye on you died in an accident that gave me a sense of déjà vu."
Ah this?
Hearing what Gin said, Vodka was shocked and wanted to slam the table, but he saw that Gin's tone was still calm.
"When living in this world, one can never predict which will come first: death or an accident."
Hayashi Yoshiki still had a smile on his face, "Don't look so scary, it was an accident."
Gin still stared at him with those terrifying eyes.
After a while,
"You are not allowed to attack members of the organization without my permission. If I find out about it again..." His tone exuded a fierceness like the tip of a knife, "You'd better be careful."
Hayashi Yoshiki just smiled.
Gin gradually withdrew his murderous intention and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself.
I was speechless for a moment.
Feeling the inexplicable sluggishness in the atmosphere, Vodka couldn't help but slow down his movements. He even didn't dare to pick up his own wine glass.
After a moment, Hayashi Yoshiki stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Vodka watched him leave the bar, then asked Gin: "Big Bro?"
"Look at your computer."
"oh…"
Vodka is not just a driver. In fact, he has good IT skills and occasionally brings his own laptop when he goes on missions.
Vodka turned on the computer and quickly found the video that had just been sent in the email.
That was a surveillance camera view on the highway.
The not very clear and noisy video shows a car suddenly losing control while driving on the road. The car body skidded and swayed violently, then it suddenly turned and hit the guardrail on the left side of the road and stopped.
After a short pause, the person in the driver's seat pushed open the door and got out. He just seemed to be staggering, and it seemed that he was not injured.
But then there was another person sitting in the passenger seat - Rikumichi Kusuda, a member of the organization sent by Gin to keep an eye on Hayashi Yoshiki. He could not open the door because the left side of the vehicle hit the guardrail, and could only prepare to climb out from the right door with difficulty. But at this moment, the heavy steel coil on the passing semi-trailer suddenly rolled down and crushed straight towards the accident car.
The organization members who left the car first were lucky enough to escape the disaster, but Rikumichi Kusuda, who was sent to keep an eye on Hayashi Yoshiki, was unable to get out of the car due to his injuries, and was crushed into pieces along with the vehicle by the large steel coil that rolled over.
"…"
After watching the video, Vodka broke out in cold sweats.
Gin was often sits in the passenger seat.
"This should, should really just be an accident, right?"
"How is that possible?"
Gin scoffed.
These two accidents were filled with the same smell, and he could see that the guy... liked to show his real murderous intentions just when people were about to breathe a sigh of relief.
But how exactly is this done?
Unlike Hironobu Kishio who was standing there all the time, Rikumichi Kusuda and the others were in a moving vehicle, and the two of them just happened to cause Rikumichi Kusuda to die in an accident...
Gin found that he seemed to have to re-evaluate Hayashi Yoshiki's abilities.
"…"
After a moment, Hayashi Yoshiki returned to his seat.
When he passed behind Vodka, Vodka's body unconsciously tensed up, and he stared at his empty glass under his sunglasses.
Gin handed over a cell phone.
"This phone is yours. There's an address in it. If you have nothing else to do, go there for training."
"Can I ask what the training is about?"
"Shooting, fighting, counter-detection, whatever you want to learn."
"That sounds interesting."
Hayashi Yoshiki smiled.
As he was looking through the phone, he saw the name Gin in the contacts and thought that this was an upgrade from one-way contact.
"Your abilities are very interesting."
Gin pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and extinguished it. "Serve the organization well. Based on your performance, I will ask the Boss for a code name for you."
"Besides, there are no eyes watching you now."
"But what happened to Rikumichi Kusuda must not happen again!"
At the end, Gin's tone was full of warning.
"So his name is Rikumichi Kusuda..."
Hayashi Yoshiki smiled and did not give a direct response.
He didn't stay any longer. He finished his drink and left.
Gin and Vodka didn't stay long either, as they were rushing to make a deal.
Arriving at the bottom of the Daikoku Building and standing in front of his beloved car, Gin suddenly called out to Vodka: "Check the car first."
"Oh, okay."
Vodka thought it was a good idea.
After an examination, nothing abnormal was found.
Vodka wiped his forehead and said, "Big Bro, do you want me to drive?"
"...You sit in the passenger seat."
"Yes."
