Iitsuka Noriyuki touched the back of his head and muttered, but when he saw that Isayama Yomi ignored him and walked away, he quickly said:
"Hey, Huang Quan, wait for me, I haven't packed up my equipment yet!"
Iitsuka Noriyuki hurriedly packed up his equipment, picked up various tool bags, and quickly followed Isayama Yomi.
Chapter 56: Developing Kogoro Mori as an Informant
On the mountain road.
Mu Geng was carrying Luo Shu and driving on the road at a speed of 40 miles per hour.
As his driving skills became more and more proficient, Mu Geng asked while driving:
"Shu Jun, where are we going next?"
"We will meet with Inspector Megure and the others first, and then wait for Yoshimura Kousen to send us the ghoul information, and then we will start compiling the 'Ghoul Investigation Report'."
Luo Shu held his chin with one hand, leaned against the car window, looked at the forest passing by, and said thoughtfully:
"Those two people in the Countermeasures Office of the Ministry of the Environment, you didn't attack them, did you, Kisara?"
Hearing this, Mu Geng's expression froze, and he said in a somewhat unnatural manner:
"Didn't Master Shu say that we don't need to clean up after them?"
At this point, Mu Geng said weakly: "How about I turn back?"
Luo Shu shook his head upon hearing this: "That's not necessary. It's only a matter of time before my information is leaked."
"But we can't let them get it for free. Later, Mu Geng, you send a bill to the Countermeasures Office and ask them to send us 5 million US dollars as intelligence fees."
Luo Shu sneered at this and said:
"Heh, you want to spies on me without paying? Takatsuki Izumi spent two million dollars just to buy my whereabouts. It's a bargain for them to only charge five million."
"Uh..." Mu Geng looked a little confused when he heard Luo Shu say this.
The people in the Countermeasures Room lurked around them and worked hard to steal intelligence, but in the end they still had to pay them for the intelligence?
So what are they lurking for?
Mu Geng looked embarrassed, imagining the scene when the Ministry of the Environment's Countermeasures Office received the bill, and suddenly felt pity for them for a second.
However, pity aside, since Luo Shu said so, she could only do as he said.
Well, I'll ask Ms. Chitsuka how to send the bill from the Ministry of the Environment's Countermeasures Office.
Just as Kisara was muttering to himself, the vehicle turned a corner and immediately saw the police blocking the road.
Next to the police car that was blocking the road horizontally, the familiar-looking Juzo Megure and Miwako Sato were communicating and discussing something with their colleagues.
At this moment, Miwako Sato spotted the approaching car and immediately bumped Megure Jusan with her elbow:
"Inspector Megure, this is Inspector Luo's car."
"Oh?!" Upon hearing this, Megure Jusan quickly adjusted his hat, turned around, walked to the middle of the road and came over.
Kisara drove the car slowly until it came to a stop. At this time, Luo Shu rolled down the window and looked at Megure Jusan and said:
"You're a little slow, Megure-kun."
"Brother Megure?"
The mustache man in a blue suit next to him widened his eyes, looked at Luo Shu, then at Megure Jusan, with a very strange expression.
"I'm so sorry, Inspector Luo."
Megure Jusan was a little embarrassed at this time and wiped the sweat off his cheek with a handkerchief:
"While we were monitoring the Antique Coffee Shop, two unfamiliar shop assistants suddenly came in. After taking over from the two female shop assistants, they followed the direction you left."
When Megure Jusan said this, there was a hint of helplessness on his face:
"Since there was no arrest order from above, I could only ask Brother Takagi to continue monitoring the area while I led the others to catch up. But later, we happened to meet people from the Ministry of the Environment on the road."
At this point, Megure Jusan couldn't help but complain and said directly:
"The people over there came up without explaining anything and just told me to block the road. What's more, they had an order signed by the superintendent in their hands. It's really like a high-ranking official is crushing a person."
In just a few words, Megure Juzo explained why he failed to stop Kirishima Touka and Irami Kasumi, and also put the blame on the Ministry of the Environment, which shows how skilled he is in his job.
He is indeed the master of the 'lying flat' school in Luo Shu's eyes.
There is a reason why Conan has been used as a tool by Megure Juzo for so many years.
After the pot was thrown away, Megure Jusan came over and asked Luo Shu in a low voice:
"By the way, Inspector Luo, did you meet anyone from the Ministry of Environment?"
Luo Shu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't meet any, but I did meet two people who ran out of the store."
"You met them? Doesn't that mean that the three people who left the store were with you at the time?"
Upon hearing that Luo Shu encountered a ghoul that slipped away from him, Megure Jusan's face suddenly changed.
Although he knew that Luo Shu would be fine since he was here, he was still worried about those ghouls causing trouble.
Seeing Megure Jusan's panic, Luo Shu said with a playful look:
"Instead of asking me if I'm okay, you might as well ask them if they're okay."
Megure Jusan was curious when he heard this: "Are they okay?"
"Given a little lesson."
Luo Shu did not explain what the lesson was, but instead said to Megure Jusan:
"After my hard work, I finally convinced them with reason and made them willingly become our 'tainted witnesses' and our accomplices within the ghouls."
"A tainted witness? A ghoul inside?" Megure Jusan's expression became very subtle.
Would that kind of man-eating monster also report its own kind?
But you've beaten the opponent to the point of dragging down his own kind. Officer Luo, are you sure you only gave him a slight lesson?
Although he complained in his heart, Megure Jusan also understood that in the ghoul incident, Luo Shu was the boss.
Therefore, after a brief moment of shock, he got down to business:
"Officer Luo, what do you think we should do with the report I have here?"
Luo Shu glanced at Megure Jusan and said:
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. Just write according to your understanding. I will make another copy for my superior."
"Ahaha, is that so? Then I'm relieved. After all, as you know, the most troublesome thing in our line of work is that it's hard to explain to the superiors."
Megure Jusan smiled and touched the back of his head. He was not surprised that Luo Shu had guessed his purpose.
He is nearly fifty years old, and according to the unspoken rules of the island country's Metropolitan Police Department, he obviously cannot climb up. In this situation, his mentality is naturally to seek stability. He does not want to offend anyone and just wants to wait for retirement in peace.
In Megure Jusan's opinion, Luo Shu is truly a first-rate good boss because he is not embarrassed and is considerate of his subordinates.
Seeing Megure Jusan's frankness, Luo Shu nodded to show his understanding, and then gave the command:
"Except for keeping watch on the Antique Coffee Shop, we can withdraw our troops here now. Those who entered the mountain road will return to the coffee shop soon. You just need to keep watch in the coffee shop."
"Of course, if someone enters or leaves the coffee shop during the subsequent surveillance, there is no need to send someone to follow them, just record the time of entry and exit."
Having said this, Luo Shu paused, and then turned to Megure Jusan and said:
"You should communicate with the owner of the coffee shop. Since the owner of the coffee shop has become a tainted witness, the necessary confidentiality must be maintained."
“Speaking of which, the owner of that building actually followed.”
Megure Jusan turned sideways upon hearing this and called out to the man with a mustache in a suit beside him:
"Brother Maori, come here for a moment."
"Inspector Megure."
Maori Kogoro, who was not far away, walked over quickly, glanced at Inspector Megure, and then looked at Luo Shu:
"Who is this?"
"Brother Maori, let me introduce you. This is Inspector Luo."
As Megure Jusan spoke, he approached Maori Kogoro and whispered:
"Superior of the Special Department, Brother Maori, do you still remember the special regulations?"
Kogoro Mouri's face changed slightly when he heard this. Although he only became an inspector in the Metropolitan Police Department and then retired, he still knew some special things.
As long as the police officers on the front line of the search department work for a long time, they will more or less come into contact with some special things, and naturally they will also know some confidential information.
And it was from these things that Kogoro Mori learned about the "mysterious side".
"Oh, so you're Inspector Luo. My name is Maori Kogoro. I'm currently running a detective agency. Please take care of me."
Kogoro Mouri handed over a business card with his signature silly smile.
An old detective naturally knows how to make himself harmless.
Of course, Kogoro Mori has been retired for so many years, and he has been pretending to be stupid for so long that sometimes he really becomes stupid.
After all, I haven't used my brain for so many years, so my reactions are a little slow.
In the car, Luo Shu took the business card, took a look at it, and immediately said to Maori Kogoro:
"Detective Maori, how much do you know about this matter?"
"Only learned 'terrorists'."
Kogoro Maori's face became serious. After knowing that Luo Shu was the manager of the special department, he understood that the identity of Mr. Yoshimura Gongshan who rented his shop might not be explained by the mere "terrorist".
"Terrorists? You can call them terrorists."
Luo Shu muttered to himself, and then said to Maori Kogoro:
"Although it may cause Mr. Maori some concern, Mr. Fangcun Gongshan downstairs from you and his staff have become my accomplices in a certain 'illegal force'."
"What do you mean?" When Maori Kogoro heard Luo Shu say this, he immediately guessed something.
Luo Shu's mouth curled up slightly at this time: "I need you to monitor them."
Although he accepted Fangcun Gongshan as his white glove, Luo Shu would not completely trust him.
No matter how kind Yoshimura Kousen appears to be, he is a man-eating ghoul, a species that is highly dangerous to humans.
Therefore, Luo Shu plans to ask Weldi for help and find a way to remove the ghoul's cannibalistic attribute. After removing it, Luo Shu will still need someone to monitor Yoshimura Kousen and others.
So he went to find Kogoro Mori.
After all, this was a man who could play dumb and fool the famous detective Kudo Shinichi.
Even if Kogoro Mori may be really stupid, as long as he can meet Luo Shu's requirements, it doesn't matter whether he is stupid or not.
"This..." Although Kogoro Mouri guessed that it was a surveillance mission, he felt a little guilty when he thought about monitoring the people on the 'mysterious side'.
"The monthly subsidy of 30 yen is paid through a special department account. You don't need to monitor it very closely. Just record anything you find wrong."
"If the intelligence you discover is valuable, there will be a special bonus."
If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it grass.
Luo Shu still understood this principle.
An easy job that pays 30 yen a month can not only motivate Kogoro Mori, but also play a certain key role.
For example, monitor Conan, monitor Conan and so on.
Speaking of which, Luo Shu was actually quite curious about how much disaster aura Edogawa Conan, the god of death who caused people to die wherever he went, would have.
If a little girl like Isayama Yomi has such a strong disaster, then wouldn’t Conan be under a dark cloud?
Moreover, let alone Conan, Huihara Ai (Wang Qianzhao), Suzuki Sonoko and the Junior Detective League, these supporting characters who often appear at the murder scenes, Luo Shu also suspects that they are not ordinary people.
At the very least, there must be some aura of misfortune on him that brings about bad luck.
And these are the food for him, the 'messenger of disaster'.
Since it concerns the growth of his own power of disaster, Luo Shu naturally would not be stingy.
The monthly expenditure of 30 yen can be regarded as buying horse bones. What's more, it can be paid through the department's bill. It may not all be paid by Luo Shu, so he naturally made a generous offer.
"Five million yen?"
