Jiang Xia, jolted awake from a light sleep: "..."
He cast a gloomy glance at the Organization-Specific Phone that was ringing and sighed. So busy. Having to answer calls this late at night—is this the fate Organization Cadres must bear?
But then he thought of the Killing Intent the organization provided.
And then he thought that he was awake anyway...
So he obligingly picked up the phone.
Seeing the string of digits on the screen, Jiang Xia woke up a little more. This should be a call from Gin.
"..." Could Gin be calling to check on him because he mistook him for someone else just now and accidentally injured a teammate?
Had Gin grown such a conscience?
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up soundlessly. If so, he might as well use this chance to ask Gin for a few Assassination Lists.
After obtaining Uzo's authority, Jiang Xia had actually browsed through some of the organization's Assassination Lists himself. Even if The Boss did not assign him missions in order to let him focus on developing his Detective business, he could still pick out familiar names from those lists and go mooch off them later for free.
...But unfortunately, the public lists rarely contained any "scheduled victims" Jiang Xia found familiar.
The lists that passed through Gin's hands, on the other hand, had a much higher hit rate.
—It seemed this Organization Cadre was also the owner of a fairly potent Case Magnet Constitution. It was just that Gin's whereabouts were usually too erratic. When he came across a sudden corpse, he would merely walk past as calmly as if he had seen a patch of dead leaves, never calling the police and certainly never lingering to watch. Besides, "running into Gin" was itself a rather unfortunate kind of "case." That
