I'm Here to Spread Some Warmth in the Community / I've Known Toru Amuro for Years-Trust Me!

From then on, his desire to return to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and become a policeman again grew stronger.

On one hand, he wanted to return to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and on the other hand, he was worried about being discovered by the Oda Group. Under such anxiety, he gradually began to suffer from insomnia, and even when he did fall asleep, it was difficult for him to get a good night's sleep.

The more sleep-deprived he is, the more likely he is to develop mental problems.

In recent years, his violent tendencies have become increasingly apparent. In fact, he has become much more ruthless in gang fights in recent years. His superiors have to emphasize to him every time they meet that he is a police officer and not a gangster.

Of course, he had mentioned his mental state to his superiors more than once over the past few years, expressing his desire to no longer continue as an undercover officer. Even if he returned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he could easily be a traffic cop or even a clerical office worker.

He even said that if he were allowed to stay in the Mafia, he might actually develop a mental breakdown.

Time flies, and so many years have passed. He is still an undercover investigator. The only change compared to ten years ago is that his friends from the police academy have left one by one for various reasons, and his rank has been promoted to Assistant Inspector, known only to a few people in this world.

However, recently, he finally had another opportunity to reinstate his police officer status.

Six years ago, under the instructions of his superior, he joined the Oda Group, which had just merged into the Nisame Association. With his experience in the Mafia for three or four years, he gradually gained the trust of Oda Group leader Oda Taisei.

Now the Oda Group has become a force to be reckoned with within the Nisame Association, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has finally decided to completely eradicate the Oda Group.

The drug deal two days ago was the best opportunity. If we could catch them red-handed, Oda Taisei would only have to spend ten years or so in prison. Perhaps we could get some information from this important member of the Nisame Association that would severely damage the Nisame Association.

Furthermore, his superior assured him that once the Oda Group was dealt with, he would be transferred back.

However, he was very well prepared and successfully transmitted the transaction information in the nightclub. Furthermore, using the plaster cast on his hand as cover, he successfully concealed the listening device hidden in the ring.

What he didn't expect was that what he thought was his last operation turned out to be a mole from the Nisame Association found inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Although this operation successfully caused Oda Taisei to lose drugs worth hundreds of millions of yen, the police still did not have enough evidence to send Oda Taisei to prison.

As long as Oda Taisei doesn't go to prison, he, as an undercover investigator, must continue his work.

His current task is to find evidence of the Oda Group's crimes or directly expose the mole's identity before Oda Taisei discovers that he is an undercover agent.

Today, he noticed Oda Taisei's movements, so he avoided the eyes and ears of everyone in the gang and followed Oda Taisei to this movie theater, where he discovered Oda Taisei meeting with a "mysterious figure".

If I'm not mistaken, that person is probably a mole within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

He followed the mole out of the movie theater, but apart from seeing the man's back, he didn't actually see his face. And for safety's sake, after sensing that the mole might have noticed that he was being followed, he still couldn't follow him to the very end.

But that's enough. Now that he was able to see the other person's back this time, he'll be able to find out their true identity next time.

He has now arrived at an ordinary restaurant, where he sits alone, waiting for the waiter to come and take his order.

A short while later, a blond male waiter came to his side and took his order.

"It's been a long time since I've been here, sir. What would you like to order this time?"

Moriya Jun's gaze fell on the rather handsome waiter with a wheatish complexion in front of him.

After their eyes met, Moriya Jun seemed much more relaxed than before.

The other person was probably the only friend I could completely trust after I became an undercover agent.

"You're still here," he said, looking at the other person, then lowered his voice, "I'm going back."

Upon hearing Moriya Jun's words, the male waiter did not show any other expression on his face, but simply nodded at Moriya Jun.

"Is it the same as before? I understand."

He didn't have to wait long. When a dish was served, the waiter smiled at Moriya Jun and said, "Please enjoy your meal."

As the waiter brought the food to the table, Moriya Jun seemed to hear a reminder in his ear. "Be careful."

Moriya Jun nodded slightly.

"The same to you."

This marked the end of their conversation.

After that, the two never even met eyes again.

Chapter 256: Chapter 254: I am a community volunteer providing warmth.

After having dinner and leaving the restaurant, Moriya Jun glanced at the blond waiter inside.

He had five close friends from his time at police academy.

Since graduating from police academy, the other four have either died in the line of duty as police officers, or, like him, were killed by the organization they infiltrated after their identities were exposed after becoming undercover investigators.

Today, only he and the other person are still alive.

Ironically, both of them are now undercover investigators whose identities cannot be revealed, and they cannot even attend the funeral of a friend from the past.

Unlike Moriya Jun, who infiltrated a Mafia and became a member, the organization he infiltrated was not, strictly speaking, one of Japan's legal Yakuza, but a transnational criminal organization with a more mysterious and extensive background.

At least, Moriya Jun had never heard of that organization's name within the Oda Group, nor did he know what that organization was trying to do in Japan.

But he knew that the mission the other party was carrying out was probably much more dangerous than his own.

To be honest, after he became an undercover investigator, in order to better complete his undercover mission, he had already kept a certain distance from his former friends ten years ago.

If it weren't for a coincidence, he wouldn't have known that the other person had also become an undercover investigator five years ago.

The two undercover agents, who are working for different organizations, should actually keep their identities secret from each other, as this would increase the risk of their identities being discovered by the organizations they have infiltrated.

However, both of them had extensive undercover experience, so even if they guessed these things, they didn't say them directly. They just kept the truth to themselves.

So, without their superiors knowing, these two former best friends would tacitly meet privately every now and then. Sometimes it would be Moriya Jun going to the restaurant where the other worked for a meal, and sometimes the other would show up in the territory where he was assigned to collect protection money. In short, they would just inform each other that they were still alive.

It had been a month or two since the two last met. This time, Moriya Jun felt that he might be able to end his ten-year undercover career after completing this job, so he went to meet with the other party before it all ended and told him about this matter.

Back in his house after leaving the restaurant, Moriya Jun began to write down his tracking report for the day.

Oda Taisei met with a mysterious figure at the movie theater today, and the person in question is very likely the mole hidden within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

If this message is passed on to his superior, and if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department can investigate the footage captured by the cameras near the movie theater, perhaps one of the cameras will have captured the other person's true face.

"It should be over soon," Moriya Jun breathed a slight sigh of relief after finishing the report and putting it in a password-protected, hidden folder.

Just as he was muttering to himself as he closed his laptop, a slow, deliberate knocking sound came from outside his door.

Moriya Jun's expression tightened slightly.

It's already eight or nine o'clock at night, and even his underling, who usually likes to come here to see him when he has nothing to do, wouldn't usually come at this time.

Moreover, given the other person's impatient nature, they would never knock so gently; at most, they would just bang on the door a few times and then pull it open and come in.

After carefully putting the computer away, he tentatively asked the person knocking on the door.

Who is it?

The response he received was from a male voice he barely recognized.

"Open the door, the community brings warmth."

Hearing the nonsensical words spoken by the man, Moriya Jun frowned.

"This is no place for pranks. You'd better get the hell out of here before I do anything."

Having spent nearly ten years in the Mafia, Moriya Jun's tone of voice was almost indistinguishable from those of the yakuza. He directly issued a rude warning to the man outside the door.

After he issued his warning, it seemed to fall silent outside his door.

But the silence lasted for less than half a minute before Moriya Jun suddenly heard the sound of a door opening from the key to his locked room.

Could it be that the man actually tried to pry open the door after failing to trick him into opening it?

If Moriya Jun were just an ordinary yakuza member, his first thought at this moment would probably be to see who that audacious bastard was and teach him a lesson.

But his true identity is actually an undercover investigator, and this happens to be the time when he has just finished writing the record and feels a little guilty.

It was this emotion that made him stand there stunned for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, his door had already been opened.

A man in black, whom he had never seen before, appeared in front of him.

In his hand he was holding a thin, long iron wire.

It's clear that the other party probably used this wire to pry open his locked door in just a few moves.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

Subconsciously, Moriya Jun grabbed a fruit knife from the table next to him and pointed it at the other person. He was ready to strike first if the other person showed any unusual behavior.

However, the man in black didn't seem to care about the fruit knife in his hand. Instead, he reached into his pocket right in front of him.

At this moment, the man's expression also appeared exceptionally cold.

Judging from this one movement, it looks like the other person is about to pull out a gun.

Moriya Jun's expression inevitably became tense.

Could it be that the Oda Group has already discovered my undercover identity, and that's why they sent assassins overnight to kill me and silence me?

As the man slowly withdrew his hands from his robes, Moriya Jun focused his mental energy intensely, trying to find a way to survive in this situation.

But his entire attention was focused on the man's arms, and he even started thinking about whether anyone was willing to hold a funeral for him. Finally, the man pulled out a business card from his arms.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just an ordinary detective. I just came here to have a chat with you."

Chapter 257: I've known Toru Amuro for years, you have to believe me!

In the old rented room, Moriya Jun looked cautiously at Jiang Hang, who had suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Detective?"

"I've never heard of a detective making an entrance like this before?"

He lowered his head and looked at the business card that Jiang Hang had placed on the table next to him.

Pathfinder Detective Agency, Jiang Hang...

This name sounds familiar.

He went through his mind and quickly got a vague impression of the name Jiang Hang.

This man's name seemed to appear frequently on television and in newspapers recently, and it seems he has helped the police quite a bit.

Moriya Jun's mind raced through information about Jiang Hang, while she was unsure of his purpose in suddenly appearing here.

It's impossible that Oda Taisei specifically hired a detective to help him investigate who the mole in the gang was, right?

In the eyes of those involved in organized Mafia, a detective like Jiang Hang, who "works for the police," would naturally not have a noble image.

In their minds, detectives without any official background were just a bunch of bored guys with a strange sense of justice who liked to cause trouble for them.

If those so-called detectives don't get involved in their affairs, the Mafia won't bother with them. But if those detectives uncover something they shouldn't have, they won't hesitate to take action.

Having spent so many years in the Mafia, Moriya Jun had heard of several meddlesome detectives who were either sunk in Tokyo Bay or had their bodies dumped in the "suicide forest" at the foot of Mount Fuji by the gangs.

Moriya Jun frowned. "Do you know where this place is? If you leave now, I can pretend I don't know anything."

In response to Moriya Jun's questioning, Jiang Hang shrugged. "This is Oda Group territory. Besides you, there are more than a dozen Oda Group members living nearby. I did my research thoroughly before coming here."

"I'm someone who hates trouble. In order to avoid others noticing what's going on with you, I chose this most direct way to come in."

Jiang Hang's gaze fell on Moriya Jun, and to be honest, the guy's weathered and decadent appearance was actually quite charming.

Despite having been involved in Mafia for so many years, the person's demeanor didn't seem like that of someone in the Mafia.

After observing the other party closely, Jiang Hang uttered the line that made Moriya Jun's expression change slightly.

"So I'll get straight to the point now. I have a bit of a grudge against the Oda Group, and during my investigation I found out your identity, so I've come here to seek cooperation with you."

Jiang Hang was very straightforward and confronted Moriya Jun. However, it seems that this veteran undercover agent, who had been working in the Mafia for nearly ten years, did not believe Jiang Hang's words so easily.

He still suspected in his heart that this might be a trap deliberately set by Oda Taisei to test him.

A perfectly timed look of confusion and anger even appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying!"

"Tell me your true purpose, or you won't be leaving here so easily today."

Jiang Hang naturally knew what Moriya Jun was worried about. He knew that Moriya Jun, as an undercover agent, would not easily trust anyone. Not to mention that he didn't have any solid evidence at the moment, even if he did produce evidence, the other party probably wouldn't trust him, a person who had suddenly appeared.

So Jiang Hang still chose the simplest method, directly making a "zero" gesture in front of Moriya Jun.

After meeting with the undercover agents from both sides at the movie theater, Jiang Hang chose to have Altair keep an eye on the undercover agent from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, while he himself stayed behind Moriya Jun.

To be honest, when Jiang Hang spotted the blond waiter radiating red light in the restaurant from afar using his Eagle Eye, he couldn't help but marvel at his luck.

Unexpectedly, when he casually followed an undercover agent from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he ran into Toru Amuro, who only appeared in the later stages of Conan but whose popularity was extremely astonishing.

It was precisely because Jiang Hang discovered that the two of them knew each other that he came to Moriya Jun's place late at night to confront him.
