I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

Just when Araki Sousuke and Higashino Kohei walked into the dilapidated office building, several men in suits and tattoos were already waiting in the large reception room with grim expressions.

"You two [beep...] boys are brave enough to make me wait ten minutes longer, and you still don't take the initiative to cut off your [beep...] to apologize!"

Surrounded by several men respectfully on the sofa in the middle, was a man with a combed back hair, a short chin, and squinted eyes.

Seeing the two people come in, the man dressed in the aura of the Dragon Kingdom in the 1990s frowned with a murderous look.

"Brother Zhang...it's all because of this kid..."

Higashino Xinghei pushed out the culprit who was not punctual without hesitation.

The man with squinting eyes called "Brother Zhang" in front of him is Higashino Xinghei's immediate superior, the head of the Tokyo Branch of Nuluoquan, the black feather fan of the guild rank, and known as the "Double Spear Immortal". flood.

"Brother Fenfang, stop joking, you know my driver's license was revoked recently, how can I afford to eat without moving a few more bricks."

Facing this high-ranking officer of Nu Luoquan, Araki Sousuke was not afraid at all, instead he spoke fluent Long Guo dialect and laughed and laughed with him.

Because Zhang Hong likes to swear and often spit out fragrant words, his brothers like to call him "Zhang Fenfang" in private.

On weekdays, Higashino Kohei had to maintain the image of Big Brother Zhang in front of his subordinates, but Araki Sousuke didn't have so many worries.

After all, when Araki Sousuke and Higashino Xinghei were apprentices in Nuluoquan, Brother Zhang was the head brother who was responsible for leading them into the training. The three of them drank "worship wine" and had a life-threatening friendship.

It can be said that Higashino Xinghei was able to be promoted so quickly, in addition to his own strength, it was more due to the rapid rise of the faction of Big Brother Zhang.

"Hey, you [beep...] boy, there was such a big [beep...] battle a few days ago, it doesn't count that you snatched the territory of the National Academy of Sciences, and the three-person group's underground car race at Haruna Mountain also disturbed you Are you afraid that they will retaliate against you?"

Brother Zhang reprimanded him with a stern face, "breathing fragrance in his mouth" in Long Guo dialect.

"The matter of Mount Haruna will be settled at Mount Haruna. If the three-member team has this kind of courage, they won't be afraid of being laughed at by others... If it's just a car competition, no matter how many times they come, they will only lose!"

Araki Sousuke raised his eyebrows, obviously not paying attention.

"Hahaha... Yes, it seems that the ivory tower of the university has not worn away your courage. I am looking forward to those guys to take revenge on you, so you can only return your anger obediently and let me cover you. "

Brother Zhang's expression couldn't hold back any longer, and he burst out laughing.

After Higashino Kohei and the National Essence Society had a conflict last time, Nuluoquan justifiably included Chicheng Shrine into its sphere of influence.

After that, the National Quintessence Association got into trouble with the police for some unknown reason and disbanded on the spot. The rest of the territory naturally belonged to Nu Luoquan, and the "cavity tooth" was completely pulled out.

Obviously, Brother Zhang is very satisfied with Araki Sousuke's ability to deflate the trio one after another, and he was just pretending to be serious out of bad humor just now.

"Hmph, let's talk about the old days when we sit down. I want a good product..."

Araki Sousuke's expression suddenly became solemn, and he asked with a slight frown.

"You boy, what a big tone. Could it be that I can't do without some of your goods...Cash, have you brought it?"

Speaking of transactions, Brother Zhang's expression became serious.

A subordinate behind him immediately handed over a suitcase respectfully.

"This is the hot cash that was just moved out on the construction site. It depends on whether your goods are pure enough to exchange."

Araki Sousuke smiled crookedly, took out a thick kraft paper envelope from the inside of his clothes, and showed it to the other party.

...

"Report, we are already in place, confirmed that the buyer has entered Nuluoquan's Ikebukuro office, and is currently meeting with several suspicious men in the reception room on the second floor..."

In the building opposite the Nu Luoquan office, several agents were holding binoculars and peeking at the situation in the opposite office.

"Wait, the one sitting there is... Zhang Hong? He actually participated in the transaction himself. This is really a big deal! It seems that this time he caught a big fish!"

When one of the detectives saw Brother Zhang sitting in the middle, he was so nervous that his hands were sweating.

Zhang Hong, that is the third-ranked man in Nu Luoquan, with his sharp skills and genius business acumen, he has become the fastest rising powerful figure in Nu Luoquan in the past five years.

"Steady, we have blocked the escape route around, the support team is on the way, don't be impulsive... first take a photo of the other party's transaction."

In the communication channel, there was an order from the Songping Police Department to be calm and calm.

"Report, confirmed that the target is preparing for the actual transaction in the opposite office building, and has witnessed suitcases and paper bags suspected of containing cash!"

"Received, the support will be ready in five minutes, this time we must teach these violent groups a hard lesson!"

...

"Click."

Sousuke Araki opened the suitcase that Brother Zhang slid across the table.

Inside the suitcase, there were neatly packed pieces of red solids packed in transparent airtight bags.

"Xixiu... This batch of goods smells quite pure."

Picking up a piece, Sousuke Araki skillfully sniffed it through his pocket and enjoyed it.

Then, he skillfully opened a bag, stuck a little bit with his little finger, and greedily put it in his mouth to suck.

"This... this smell, how could it be so pure..."

In an instant, he showed an intoxicated expression.

"Heh heh heh... be surprised, boy, this is a first-class top-notch product from the mountain city, the purity of 'that stuff' is as high as 60%, it is not comparable to the inferior products you have eaten before... ..."

As if he had expected his surprised expression, Brother Zhang sneered smugly.

"As expected, it is a product from the channel of Nu Luoquan... However, whether it is a top-notch product or not, you have to try it out to know..."

Responding to the smell of "high-end goods", Araki Sousuke tilted his head and said provocatively.

"Hey... don't look down on me, kid, I've been waiting for a long time..."

Hearing his words, Brother Zhang stood up abruptly, took off his suit and shirt, revealing his muscular upper body with only a tie on, and the black dragon tattoo on his back.

"It's useless to talk too much, set the table and test the goods!"

"oh!!!"

Seeing his movements, everyone, including Araki Sousuke and Higashino Kohei, "exploded" their upper body clothes in excitement, and prepared something aside.

For a moment, the whole room seemed to become a "Extreme Tattoo Award" and "Uncovered Conference".

...

"Request for support... The target has already completed the transaction, and there is currently a confusing behavior of collectively taking off their shirts. It is suspected that they are preparing for a 'celebration party for men and women' after the transaction begins!"

"Steady, take pictures first to collect evidence, we have already parked downstairs..."

five minutes later.

"Boom!!!"

With a burst of noise and footsteps, the door of the reception room, which was not locked, was kicked open.

The ones who rushed in were more than a dozen special police officers wearing body armor and helmets, holding explosion-proof shields, leading drug dogs, and armed with live ammunition.

"Raise your hands, this is the third lesson of countermeasures against organized crime. Now I suspect that you are engaged in illegal drug transactions and illegal same-sex drug parties. Please cooperate immediately and accept the inspection."

In the reception room, the men they pointed their guns at were the men who were sitting around the round table lively, with their upper body exposed, criminal faces, and dull expressions.

The real power figures of Nuluoquan, Zhang Hongfa, Higashino Xinghei, and the criminal-looking "buyer" were all among them.

The room was filled with a strange pungent aroma.

On the round table, there was a big, sizzling cauldron. There was a deep red soup in it, and there were scarlet pieces of meat and various offal around it.

The chopsticks in the hands of several people were still frozen in mid-air, as if they were feasting for the success of the transaction.

"Okay... This time, I can finally ask you to come with us, Brother Zhang."

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the targets, the Matsudaira Police Department leader who was leading the team in front showed an expression of winning.

Are these violent gangs happy too early...

"Hey, I said someone who smelled my hot pot followed me. It turned out to be Police Officer Songping... Why are you staring, the pot is boiling, hurry up and eat beef..."

Brother Zhang seemed to be an old acquaintance with the Songping Police Department. After being stunned for a while, he picked up the beef on the plate and added it to the pot without changing his face.

...

ten minutes later.

"Stop fooling people, I will believe that you took off your clothes and gathered here just to eat hot pot?!"

Facing the explanations of several people, Matsudaira looked disdainful.

"Officer, you are a layman. Eating shirtless is the orthodox style of Longguo Mountain City hotpot!"

Araki Sousuke stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth nonchalantly.

"What?! These are butter hot pot ingredients?! You think our police are clueless..."

On the conference table, inside the suitcases found in the office, there were neatly stacked, boxy red solids that were vacuum-sealed in transparent plastic bags.

You can also vaguely see spices such as peppers and peppercorns inlaid in it.

Several police officers were holding one of the packages for random inspection and evidence collection.

"Hmph, if you think this is an ordinary butter hot pot base, you are sorely mistaken!"

Brother Zhang picked up the freshly cut beef in the pot, dipped it in the sesame oil base, put it in his mouth and chewed it happily.

Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, and thick hot pot base, paired with fat grain-fed black hair Wagyu beef, directly detonated on the tip of his tongue, making his long and narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and he couldn't find his eyes...

"Have you admitted it yourself...Could it be possible to extract..."

"...This is the Longguo Mountain City hot pot base material hand-fried with selected Longguo's top-quality red pepper, green pepper, and bullet pepper, supplemented with ginger, butter, watercress, bean mother and son, and tempeh. Top-notch oil with a purity of 60%! The retail price is 5,000 yen per pack, and you have to pay for this pack for proof...Damn it, Xingping, you actually took the opportunity to pick it up in my bowl..."

Araki Sousuke, who just swallowed another mouthful of beef, explained in a proud manner.

"Hey, eating meat from other people's bowls is the ultimate law of survival..."

Facing the heavily armed special police, the people on Nu Luoquan's side had no intention of being on guard at all, but instead ate hot pot like no one else was there.

"It's quite fragrant...uh, so spicy..."

One of the police officers dipped a little of the primer in his hand and sucked it in his mouth, showing a painful and enjoying expression.

"Hey, if this base material is paired with beef bone broth that has been simmered for 8 hours, no matter what you eat, it will be delicious! It only costs 5,000 yen a piece, buy three and get one free. For you who are public officials It's not expensive at all, how about some..."

Araki Sousuke immediately approached and introduced it seriously.

This butter hot pot base is quite addictive after many members of Shibujing Dakendo Department eat it, and it has been well received.

He has been desperately moving bricks on the construction site for the past few days, precisely because Big Brother Zhang has a batch of Longguo Mountain City hot pot base ingredients in stock, so he is asked to come to the distribution point to sell back, subsidize the bottomed out wallet, and have a hot pot by the way to reminisce about the old days.

"Buy three get one free..."

"It's really good at concealing, don't think that you can deceive professionals with these things. Even if these are really hot pot ingredients, you must have discovered us when we were trading in the parking lot, so you came here to seek cover... put you Hand over the suitcase in the parking lot, the real thing must be in there."

Seeing that the policeman seemed to be ready to spend money to buy materials, the Songping Police Department stepped forward with a sneer and held him down.

A large number of police forces were specially mobilized to surround the Nuluoquan Ikebukuro branch with three floors inside and three floors outside. If you just came here to watch other people eat hot pot, then you have to write a report when you go back.

"Did you say that?"

Araki Sousuke took out a suitcase from his feet and handed it to him with an indifferent face.

"Yes, this is the box..."

The police officers on the side immediately took out the "transaction photos" captured at the scene and confirmed the characteristics of the box.

Opening the suitcase, there were two large bags of unknown white powder that Higashino Kohei took out on the balcony that they had witnessed in the morning.

"Hey, I got the stolen goods now! Let's see how you deny it... You will never even think about it in this life."

Seeing the two packs of white powder, Songping Police Department finally heaved a sigh of relief. As if he had found a treasure, he put on his gloves and carefully took out a small amount to examine it carefully.

This smell... a bit pungent...

The Songping Police Department sniffed it carefully, but found no peculiar smell, then stuck a little with his fingers and put it in his mouth...

"Pfft...what the hell is this thing..."

The sour and alkaline taste directly made Songping breathless.

"Oh, that...it's sodium percarbonate...I made it myself."

Kohei Higashino, who was cutting beef for everyone, spoke.

"Over-carb... hot and sour? Did you make it yourself? Could this be the abbreviation for the latest high-tech illegal drug?"

Seeing Higashino Kohei holding a kitchen knife, with dark eyes and slightly raised mouth corners, Matsudaira made up a desperate picture of him in the small apartment kitchen, with a frantic expression on his face, mixing various prohibited drugs by himself...

"Well, it is formulated with sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide in a certain proportion, which is commonly known as... oxide bleach..."

Higashino Xinghei quickly sliced ​​the beef and inserted the kitchen knife straight into the chopping board, scaring the policeman on the side to raise his gun again.

He took the towel on the side and wiped his hands like a butcher, and he continued to introduce: "With this cheap and easy-to-use ruthless product, no matter it is blood, oil, ink or juice, any stain in the crevices can be wiped clean. It was washed clean... that guy said that there was a very important piece of clothing that was stained with a lot of blood and couldn't be removed, so I reluctantly gave up and shared it."

"I see. Is it such a powerful thing... Where can I buy it... I also have a few shirts recently..."

Another police officer on the side asked curiously.

"Hey, of course, the hardware store..."

"Bastard... bastard, why do you ask Jidao for advice on housework and hot pot ingredients!! Check it out for me, I don't believe there is no evidence of a crime here!!!"

Songping grabbed the subordinate by the neck and ran away.

"Report, everything has been checked, and nothing suspicious was found!"

Ten minutes later, several police officers collecting evidence reported to Songpinghui.

"Hey... I'm sorry Officer Songping, we never touch 'that thing' in Nuluoquan, and let you go for nothing. We don't have enough beef today, so we won't keep you here to eat."

Brother Zhang drank the cold beer in his hand and greeted him sourly.

"Indulging in these boring things every day, it's hard... no wonder you guys are declining! We don't have a sense of accomplishment..."

With a dejected look on his face, Matsudaira closed his team and left while having a headache to report back.

"Hmph, these guys try to make trouble for us every now and then..."

Before Brother Zhang could finish his sentence, a man came in from the door with a mobile phone, bowed respectfully and listened to the report: "Brother, the batch of 'top goods' from the Middle East have been delivered at the pier... "

"It's a mistake, and the timing is pretty good... I've already asked someone to figure it out, and the fate of these two boys must be my favorite."

Brother Zhang nodded when he heard the words, and smiled and glanced at Sousuke Araki and Kohei Higashino who knew nothing and were fighting for beef.
