Chapter 106: An Ancient Way of Exchanging Information
Hmm? ? ?
Dong Ye Ning was a little confused.
He was very sure that Shigehiko Tōguchi had not been contacted by any strangers, and the organization had no chance to deliver the message.
Then why did Pisco choose to hold this memorial service now?
It is impossible that Shigehiko Tōguchi knew the identity of Kenzo Masuyama in the organization, right?
No, this is unreasonable.
If Shigehiko Tōguchi knew Pisco's social identity, Gin would definitely come to kill him at all costs as soon as he was investigated by the police.
In terms of rationality alone, Shigehiko Tōguchi was just colluding with the organization and using each other, but he definitely didn't know any deeper information.
An organization elder like Pisco who was well-known in the public was not someone Shigehiko Tōguchi could know the identity of.
"Could it be that the organization and Shigehiko Tōguchi had a relevant agreement before?"
Dong Ye Ning felt that it was meaningless to think about these things now. The key was to see whether Shigehiko Tōguchi would take the initiative to go there at that time.
He stared at the newspaper with a serious face and was about to flip through it again. Suddenly, he noticed some problems and forced his eyes to stay again.
After reading the article carefully, Dong Ye Ning suddenly understood.
Wow, it turns out that there is information hidden in this article.
Take the beginning and end of each sentence, remove those incoherent or meaningless words and rearrange them to get a sentence like this:
[Go to the memorial service, we will help you. 】
But Dong Ye Ning couldn't be sure whether this was a coincidence.
After all, this is not London in the 19th century, where there are telephones and people, and the organization doesn't need to use this method to pass on information to Tunkou Shigehiko.
But if you insist, you can explain it, such as agreeing in advance that when Tunkou Shigehiko falls into a situation where he can't communicate with the outside world, the organization will use this method to pass on the message.
Sometimes bad things happen because of a single mistake.
Dong Ye Ning thought for a moment and decided to go to Tunkou Shigehiko right now.
Knock on the door.
Tunkou Shigehiko's tone was a little tired, so he let him in.
Dong Ye Ning entered quietly, and seeing that the other party was reading a newspaper, he walked closer.
Sure enough, Tunkou Shigehiko was reading that piece of news.
It always felt like there might be problems if he spoke directly to test the other party, after all, the other party was a cunning senior politician, so Dong Ye Ning simply chose to stare at the other party directly.
Just stare hard, and the expression will be more intriguing.
After a few breaths, Tunkou Shigehiko sighed, "Anyway, they want me to be a sacrifice, why do they want me to attend a memorial service? My mission has been completed."
He was just thinking about why the organization asked him to attend this memorial service.
He couldn't figure it out anyway.
What should be done has been done, and the next step is to ensure that the new amendment is implemented. It's really better to let him sleep quietly at home for a few days and wait for death than to go to a shitty memorial service.
Seeing that his test had yielded results, Dong Ye Ning quickly conceived a speech and spoke.
"I think I said before that you might not die."
Tunkou Shigehiko looked at Dong Ye Ning with a dazed expression, and then laughed disdainfully: "You don't have to die if you attend the memorial service. Why can't I think of the key to my survival?"
Dong Ye Ning lowered his voice and said sarcastically, "Otherwise, how could you be manipulated by us as a dignified councilor."
"People, sometimes don't think of yourself too smart. It's okay if you don't want to go. After the memorial service, you will die. You should prepare for your funeral in advance in the next few days."
After saying that, Dong Ye Ning turned and walked towards the door.
When he was almost in front of the door, Tunkou Shigehiko finally chose the former between life and death, "Although I can't figure out the meaning of this action, but... I will go to participate when the time comes."
Why not try if there is hope of survival?
Even if the future is still a fate at the mercy of others, it is better to live than to die, right?
Dong Ye Ning didn't look back, "Then you should reply to the organization, you don't know what's good for you."
Tunkou Shigehiko's old face turned red, "I don't need to trouble you anymore, just help me say it."
Dong Ye Ning looked back and glared at the old politician with a strong desire to survive, "You make me a little angry, forget about doing anything for me."
The door closed.
Dong Ye Ning quickly found a corner and hid.
After waiting for about five minutes, a servant went upstairs to Tunkou Shigehiko's room and came out with a black silk scarf in his hand.
Dong Ye Ning followed quietly and found that the other party tied it to the branch of the thickest tree in the yard.
So this is how to transmit information?
You are really primitive.
Dong Ye Ning continued to observe for a while, and when he saw that the servant did not do anything else, he went back to the monitoring room.
There was no one on the surveillance outside the yard. I think the organization members were directly observing with telescopes from a distance.
...
On the other side.
Bar.
Gin and Vodka sat opposite each other, with a bottle of rye whiskey half full on the table.
Gin felt his phone vibrate, took it out and looked at it, then sneered, "Heh, Swallow Shigehiko has taken the bait, we can save some trouble."
Vodka, who was sitting opposite him, understood immediately and chuckled, "Yes, there are police officers at his house all day, and there are no sniper conditions. It is really risky to kill him directly in the villa."
Although Gin did not nod, he also agreed with Vodka's words.
He quickly sent out two emails, "I don't know how much skills Pisco still has after living a life of luxury for so many years."
"To be on the safe side, we'll go over there then. If he misses, we'll shoot Tonkou Shigehiko in the street."
Two sounds indicating that the email has been sent sounded one after another.
Gin put away his cell phone casually, grabbed the wine glass and took a sip, "That guy from Belmod has been missing all day long since he returned to Japan. Let's find something for her to do this time."
"A mysterious guy... asking her to cooperate with Pisco in assassinating Shigehiko Tonguchi is a stage for her return."
The name Belmod was quite sensitive in the organization, and Vodka didn't dare to say anything.
He turned to ask: "Speaking of being mysterious, that Bourbon guy seems to have disappeared for a long time."
Gin shook his head, "The Bourbon matter has nothing to do with us. I really want to know what Shigehiko Tonguchi's intentions were for suddenly proposing the amendment at this juncture."
His eyes were cold, "This amendment has nothing to do with the current situation. Maybe he is seeking help from other forces in an attempt to escape guilt."
"The big forces related to the police include the Hattori family in Osaka, the Ayanokouji family in Kyoto, and the Shiratori family and the Hakuba family in Tokyo."
Gin analyzed one by one, "Hattori Heizo's behavior is very decent. The Ayanokouji family is a huge vested interest in the traditional system. These two families should not be involved in this matter. I think almost all the members of their camp abstained from voting." ”
"And the Baima family has the police chief in charge, and the children in the family are still in high school. There is plenty of time for the transition of power, and there is no need to use this method."
Vodka directly praised, "This leaves only the Shiratori family, but Shigehiko Tonkou has no friendship with the Shiratori family."
"It's just that we don't have any friendship, so I'm helping him now..." Gin's eyes turned deep, "Currently, the pressure on Shigehiko Tonkou isn't so great that he can't speak without hesitation."
"Now that he has received help from the Shiratori family, he will probably feel more relaxed. And he is responding to our message now because he wants to obtain double insurance."
"In this case, he will not leak the organization's information, but will hold on to it. Otherwise, it will be a huge crime of gang involvement or even treason."
Vodka swallowed, "Then do we still want to kill him?"
Gin glanced at him, "Huh, of course we have to kill him. He has other allies standing behind him now. Are we still waiting to be restrained by him in turn?"
And...Ning Higashino, right...what role do you play here?
The unlucky guy who traveled for the Shiratori family?
If you can really break the rules and go up, contact seems to be a good choice.
