Chapter 861 Kogoro Mouri: Thank you, thank you, we won't be polite then.
That's just how people are..........................
Sometimes, things just lack comparison. Once you make a comparison, things that seemed terrifying before suddenly don't seem so scary anymore...
That's how it is with killer bacteria.........................
At first, when everyone heard about the deadly bacteria, they were all panicked, fearing they would be infected...
Later, when a group of armed thugs with red Siamese cats appeared before them, the matter of the killer bacteria was completely forgotten...
After all, compared to potentially fatal bacteria that can cause death after infection, armed criminals with real guns seem far more terrifying...
Infection with the deadly bacteria might be fatal, but being shot by those red Siamese cat thugs in this place where medical care is impossible is certain death...
Now that the matter of the red Siamese cat has been resolved, everyone suddenly feels that the issue of the killer bacteria can be viewed more calmly.............................
Well, perhaps this is the only use Red Siamese Cat's mercenaries have for the airship right now...
but..............................
Compared to Suzuki Jirokichi and others whose mindset has gradually improved, some people are feeling quite uneasy..................................
At this moment, cameraman Junpei Ishimoto and reporter Kasumi Nishitani, who were mixed in with the crowd, gradually broke out in a cold sweat...
That's right, the undercover agent in this place isn't just that waitress...
In fact, Junpei Ishimoto and Kasumi Nishitani were also undercover agents..................
However, unlike these armed thugs, they were not their undercover agents.
The two of them actually belonged to another person, and that person was the mastermind behind this incident............................
Of course, who the mastermind behind it all is no longer important.
The important thing now is...
Junpei Ishimoto and Kasumi Nishitani are currently very panicked, extremely panicked.............................
Initially, when they saw the mercenaries start fighting back with their guns, the two were also planning to take action...
After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. The mercenaries are the most powerful armed force here and their vital support. If even they are gone, the two of them won't be able to escape unscathed either...
only.............................
Well, to my shame, before they even realized what was happening...
That group of mercenaries who seemed incredibly powerful and in control of the situation were completely wiped out...
Not a single one survived............................
Good news—they can no longer reveal their existence; all the guys who knew they were undercover agents are gone..........................
Bad news—Ishimoto Junpei and Nishitani Kasumi have also lost the will to resist...............................
Damn it, those mercenaries with automatic rifles were easily taken care of by those guys. These two small-time crooks, even though they still had guns, were only armed with pistols...
Can the two of them really defeat these monsters?
Junpei Ishimoto and Kasumi Nishitani did not hold out much hope for this.................................
Anyway, they haven't exposed themselves yet. As long as they survive until they disembark from the airship, they'll still be a reporter and cameraman for Nichiuri TV.
Revolt?
Stop joking, what are you going to use to resist?
With only two pistols in their hands, could they handle the burly man who could weave through a hail of bullets, or defeat Kogoro Mouri, who could shoot them in the head with every shot, and the long-haired man in black...?
There's no point in dragging yourself into something that's already hopeless...
"it is good,"
Seeing that the thugs seemed to be completely under control, Suzuki Jirokichi immediately stepped forward and spoke.......................
"This time, we owe a great deal to several people..........................."
"Rest assured, the Suzuki Foundation will repay any kindness shown to us with ever-greater gratitude..."
"You will all receive your due compensation, in full..."
"Then I won't be polite, hahaha..."
Upon hearing Suzuki Jirokichi's words, Kogoro Mouri, who had previously appeared quite composed, couldn't help but burst into exaggerated laughter..................................
The crisis has temporarily subsided, so he no longer needs to be on edge..................................
As for killer bacteria?
Hehe, if it really comes to that, then we'll just have to leave it to fate...
That thing is no longer something that can be avoided by one person or a few people alone...
If something really goes wrong, there's nothing he can do...
Compared to Kogoro Mouri's "accepting all comers" attitude, Sonoko Suzuki responded first, on behalf of Gin.
"No need, Uncle Jirokichi!"
"Mr. Yin doesn't need any reward; he doesn't lack these things..."
"Right............."
As Sonoko Suzuki spoke, she winked playfully at Gin...
Upon hearing her words, Gin's face darkened.
Damn, what does it mean to not need repayment? What does it mean to say he doesn't lack these things?
He wears the same clothes all year round, how could he not need them?!
He works tirelessly from dawn till dusk every day, just to extort hundreds of millions of yen. Does he seem like someone who doesn't need money?
Besides, the compensation offered by Jirokichi Suzuki must have been quite substantial; otherwise, it would have been completely beneath him, a senior advisor to the Suzuki Group, to justify his position.
The thought of losing that reward, whose value was unknown but certainly not cheap, pained Gin terribly...
But........................
He couldn't refute Sonoko Suzuki's words for the time being.
Well, don't worry about why, he doesn't know why either, he just can't refute it............................
"Good, good, good! As expected of someone Sonoko values!"
Jirokichi Suzuki immediately showed even greater appreciation for Gin..............................
Initially, although he had some opinion of Gin, his view remained rather neutral.
Now, after this experience, he has come to realize the true capabilities of his nephew-in-law, especially considering the man's disdain for money...
Jirokichi Suzuki said that when he got back, he would give his friend Shiro a good compliment, so as not to give anyone cause for gossip or make people think he was ungrateful...............................
After Sonoko Suzuki expressed her stance to Gin, Tooru Amuro and Kiyonaga Matsumoto also stated that they did not need any payment........................
Unlike Gin, the other two were involved in different situations. One was a police officer in secret, and as a public official, accepting bribes was inappropriate, especially since it was part of his job.
The other reason is...................
Damn it, Lin Jiayou is now known as 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga,' and it's Matsumoto Kiyonaga who's taking the money. What does it have to do with Lin Jiayou? Taking it is worse than not taking it at all; it's just making things difficult for him for no reason.
Seeing that none of the three people were willing to pay, Ran, the only one who chose to accept the money, suddenly felt uneasy...
She gently tugged at her father's sleeve and glanced at him—
'Dad, they don't want them. If we take them, wouldn't it seem a bit awkward...?'
Kogoro Mouri pretended not to see his daughter's meaningful glances.
Just kidding, I worked so hard to earn some extra money, do you know how difficult it was.........................
They were all alone, treating money like dirt, and they still had families to support. They couldn't do it, they just couldn't...
"Alright, Advisor Suzuki,"
At this moment, Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke in a deep voice, bringing the matter back on track...
"It's not time to distribute the spoils yet..."
"Currently, we still have two crises that haven't been resolved—"
"First, there's the interior of the airship. We don't know if there are any Red Siamese Cat members who have slipped through the net. This needs to be investigated..."
"Secondly, the issue of killer bacteria is still a thorn in our side; no one can ignore it. I suggest we handle it with caution..."
