Chapter 1008: An Old Lady Skilled at Courting Death

The four of them sat around the Campfire, eating Grilled Skewers, fruit, and drinking Beer.

Chi Feichei also conveniently helped grill some fish and vegetables.

They were full and satisfied, and it was already almost four in the early morning.

After packing up their Things and rushing back to Tokyo to take Tuanzi back to The Zoo, the sky was gradually beginning to brighten.

Due to a situation with the Surveillance near Target No. 4's Residence, the four of them simply went to No. 119 together.

In the Living Room, Chi Feichei used the Computer to bring up the Camera Monitoring video and projected it onto the Wall.

Hassashi had spent the whole day yesterday sleeping under Chi Feichei's Clothes, and then spent the whole night making a fuss with Tuanzi, completely messing up his Work and Rest Schedule. As soon as day broke, he was lazily dozing on the Sofa.

Yingqu Yan Nan was also feeling a bit sleepy.

Recently, due to having to observe whether his own Crazy Cat Boss was still going to Building Jump, his Work and Rest Schedule had also become early to bed and early to rise. He had gotten up early yesterday, and stayed up all night last night, and he felt his Work and Rest Schedule was going to be messed up again.

Turning his Head to Look, Gin sat on the Sofa with an indifferent face, smoking a Cigarette. Vodka was lighting a Cigarette for him Aside. At a glance, they looked very adapted to this Work and Rest Schedule of staying up all night, without even a hint of sleepiness.

His Home Boss was also calmly and intently fiddling with the Projection, Seemingly not sleepy either.

Yingqu Yan Nan Speechlessly lit a Cigarette. Well, might as well stay up together...

Vodka Looked at the Scene projected onto the Wall across from them, "Huh? There are So Many Crows over there?"

In the Scene captured by the Camera, the sky was dimly lit. On the Utility Pole and Wall near the Residential Area, stood quite a few rather large-bodied Crows, opening their mouths and calling incessantly at the Old Woman who came out from the Apartment Building.

Gin Looked Towards Chi Feichei, who was walking back, "Did you do that?"

"No," Chi Feichei sat back down on the Sofa, Looking at the Projection, "Crows hold grudges. Probably it's because she attacked and drove away Crows before, and is now hated by the Crows."

In the Projection Scene, the Short Hair Old Woman was wearing a Black one-piece Long Dress and a dark Purple vest Coat, carrying a slender Stick. She arrived at the Garbage Heap Across the Street from the Apartment, waving the Long Rod to Drive Away the Crows flying above the Trash Bag.

Target No. 4: Enoe Tatsue.

Enoe Tatsue had remained unmarried her whole life. She had a nephew named Enoe Genki, who was the orphan left behind by her Younger Brother.

In the eyes of Acquaintances, Enoe Genki was a big fellow with no proper Work who didn't look like a good person. No one knew what he did, but he could always Take Out Money to eat and drink extravagantly. When Enoe Tatsue came to his Door seeking financial assistance, he could still Take Out Money to get rid of Enoe Tatsue.

One day a year ago, when Enoe Tatsue went to her nephew again seeking financial assistance, she found no one there. She went again three days later and discovered that the person Seemingly hadn't returned. So she went to the Police Department to report the Case.

After the Police received the News, they immediately launched an Investigation.

There were no Gains from the Surrounding Area Neighbors. Enoe Genki often disappeared for days at a time, and coupled with his fierce Temperament, Neighbors couldn't even Dodge him in time. Basically, no one paid attention to when he would Go Out or when he would return.

There were no Clues Inside the Room either. Although the Police Suspicioned that Enoe Genki had a Residence in Other Places, they didn't find any corresponding Clues.

The person's Whereabouts were not clarified, but the Police Investigationed Out that Enoe Genki was Very Likely related to a Murder Case.

And very quickly, Enoe Genki's Corpse was found. He died from a Shooting, shot in the center of his brow. The Bullet penetrated his Skull. By the time he was discovered and the Case was reported, he had Already been dead for a week.

In the end, the Police Inferenceed that the big fellow was Silenced by his Crime Accomplice. However, after Investigationing for a very long Period of Time, there wasn't even a Point of Clue about the Accomplice. They could only slowly put the Case aside.

In fact, Enoe Genki was an Outer Member of the Organization. He was usually brave and fierce, and once he got a Gun, he dared to put two Bullets into someone's body. Relying on his daring to fight and charge, and having been in the Organization for quite a few years, he was considered one of the more valued Outer Members. He had participated in some Actions, contacted more than one Core Member, and sometimes even participated in the Surveillance and Protection of Core Members.

And a year ago, Enoe Genki made a mistake during a Task, leaving behind Clues sufficient for the Police to Investigation him, and it was a Clue that could lead the Police to take him back to the Metropolitan Police Department for Investigation, a Clue that was difficult to eliminate.

If such a Human were to be Grabbed, the Matters he revealed would probably be more than a Newbie Core Member. The Organization Decided to One Step Ahead Silencing the person. Before the Police Investigationed Enoe Genki, they Cleaned Up the person.

The one responsible for the Silencing was Gin.

At the same time, Enoe Genki, in order to facilitate Organization Activity and hide Firearm, had Already rented a House Outside using another Identity. After he was Cleaned Up, someone went to Search Command the Rental House and conveniently set a Fire to burn it completely Clean, leaving behind no Clues.

Originally, this Matter should have Ended here. The Organization had no Intention to Take Action against Enoe Tatsue, Because from the front and back Process of the Police Investigation, Enoe Tatsue had no Knowledge of the Organization's Matters, and also didn't Know much about Enoe Genki's Matters.

But a month ago, Gin received an Email sent from a strange Email Address:

"[You are Just Yuan's Accomplice, right? You Murdered him, making him take the blame for the Murder Crime alone. Whether or Not you Should give his only Relatives in this world a little Compensation? I want five million Japanese Yen. You can refuse, but If That's the case, then I will give your Email Address to the Police. The Police are Still Investigationing the Murder Case from a year ago. I imagine the Police would be very happy for me to Go Provide Clues about Yuan's Accomplice.]"

Chi Feichei Don't Know whether Gin's Mind froze for a couple of seconds after receiving the Email. In short, Gin's Judgment was—

1: The Other Party doesn't have much Knowledge of the Organization.

2: I'm reluctant to give up this Email Address, and giving it up is very Troublesome. Then, let's first stabilize the person and then Silencing them.

Gin Replied to the Email:

"[Your Name, Address?]"

Enoe Tatsue honestly reported her Name and Address, and furthermore urged them to quickly send the Money to her Door.

Gin expressed Ok, and then passed This Matter to two Outer Members to Confirm and Investigation.

First of all, they wanted to Confirm Whether the Name and Address said in the Email were True. They wanted to Investigation how The Other Party knew Gin's Email Address, and where the Flaw was.

Secondly, they wanted to Confirm Whether The Other Party had told Others about This Matter, and Whether or Not they should conveniently Clean Up Other Humans as well.

Finally, they would Tracking and Surveillance for a Period of Time to get a feel for what kind of Human this was, and Whether or Not she would leave behind a Backup Plan like 'a certain Package will be sent to the Metropolitan Police Department at a certain Time after Oneself dies'.

If the Situation was Complex and the Outer Members couldn't handle it, then in the later stages, it was Possible that Core Members skilled in Investigation would Intervene.

Just things went too smoothly.

Two Outer Members took over the Investigation and didn't rashly alarm Enoe Tatsue. They Just Searched Out 'Yuan', who was mentioned in the Email.

This was very Easy to inquire about. Enoe Tatsue's Relative was only a nephew, and Enoe Genki's Name, Photo, original Address, and other Situations were very quickly Investigationed Out.

Once Seeing the Photo, Vodka said, "Boss, we Acquaintance this Human..."

Enoe Genki's Identity as an Organization Outer Member was Confirmed. Enoe Tatsue was Indeed Possible to be the Human who sent the Email.

Afterwards, two Outer Members started Surveillance and Investigation of Enoe Genki. In addition, Other Outer Members also Intervened in the Investigation.

Half a month later, the Investigation Result came out.

It Should be that when Enoe Genki was alive, Enoe Tatsue accidentally glimpsed a few digits when he sent an Email to Gin. Enoe Tatsue hadn't locked onto Gin's Email Address at all, but Just locked onto a few digits. Using a year's Time, every Period of Time, she sent Emails one by one, trying out various combinations, until she tried out Gin's Email Address.

And Enoe Tatsue's Interpersonal Relationship was very bad. Her Relationship with Surrounding Area Neighbors was also not good. It was Unlikely that she would tell Others about This Matter. Looking at the Investigation afterwards, she also hadn't left behind any Backup Plan.

Then the Matter became easy to handle. Just Solve the person directly.

Gin had initially Said that after the Investigation was finished, he would immediately report the Result. Seemingly, he wanted to personally visit her Door and cut down that Fellow who dared to Extortion him. But Perhaps after receiving the Intelligence and Once Seeing her, he found that she was Actually just an Old Lady with no Attack Strength, which was a far cry from the Enemy he had predicted. Gin wasn't too Interested. Or Perhaps Gin had quite a few Clean Up Tasks Recently. Enoe Tatsue was Just listed on the Hit List and then selected by him.

The Reason he selected Enoe Tatsue was that he Remembered this Plot. Enoe Tatsue would very quickly be Solved by someone else.

Because she would wear All Black, was talkative and loved Gossip, liked to Go to the Garbage Heap to rummage through Trash Bags and peep into Others' Privacy, and also had the Alias of 'Crow Grandmother'.

He Remembered the Reason Enoe Tatsue was Murdered was Because Enoe Tatsue rummaged through the Garbage of the Woman Upstairs, found a break-up Letter from The Other Party's Boyfriend to The Other Party inside. After picking it up and Looking at it, she even took that break-up Letter and ran to The Other Party's Shop to loudly ridicule Households.

This Is an Old Lady skilled at courting death.

...

In front of the Apartment Building in Beika Town.

After Enoe Tatsue used the Rod to Drive Away the Crows, she pulled open a Trash Bag and poked around inside with the Rod, attempting to find Things that Interested her.

Her Luck had really turned around this month.

One month ago, she was Standing on her Home Balcony watering Flowers when she Suddenly Discovered that the Crows on the Garbage Heap Across the Street were very annoying, dirty and ugly, and kept cawing incessantly. She couldn't help but take a Rod and Go Downstairs to Drive Away that Group of Crows.

It was Just on that Day that she correctly tried the Email she had been trying for one year.

Although The Other Party hadn't admitted that Oneself was Yuan's Accomplice, they Actually Asked for her Name and Address. It looked like they really had the Intention to send Money. Then she would just consider it a correct guess. As Long As she could get the Money, it would be Okay.

And during the Period she was waiting for the Master of that Email Address to send Money, she couldn't help but Go Drive Away those annoying Crows at the Garbage Collection Point. As a Result, she Discovered a Lottery Ticket in a Trash Bag. When she picked it up and took it Home, she Actually won the Third Prize and got a large sum of Money.

Wealth came one after another, leading her to start daily Driving Away those Crows every Early Morning, then occupy the Garbage Heap and rummage through the Garbage inside.

Because who knows, maybe she'd find another Lottery Ticket one of these days?

She was different now. As Long As she competed with the Crows for Territory, her Luck would be so good it would Explosion!

Afterwards, although she hadn't picked up another Lottery Ticket, she Discovered that Household Waste was really a Treasure Land. She had picked up pearl Earrings, Gold Work of Art, and also picked up some Interesting Letters and Label Paper. These Interesting Things could let her see through another side of those Neighbors behind their bright and beautiful facade.

Right, even if those Humans looked bright on the outside, they didn't live as well as she, this Old Lady!

"Caw! Caw!"

The Crows in the Vicinity were very large. After being Driven Away by Enoe Tatsue, they hadn't left. They were Standing on the Utility Pole and Wall in the Vicinity, making a burst of strange calls towards Enoe Tatsue.

"Keep picking, there's Good Stuff inside!"

"Search carefully! A Gold Ring Specially prepared for you!"

Enoe Tatsue turned up a small Gold Ring. Her Eyes lit up. She Took Out the Gold Ring from the Trash Bag, wiped it, put the Gold Ring into her Pocket, and Discovered that the Surrounding Area Crows were Looking at her and calling. Seemingly, her Confidence originated from the Luck she had robbed from the Crows. She coldly snorted, "Humph! The Age I've lived is several times that of you Group of livestock. It's only Should be that I can Drive Away you. What are you cawing about? It's noisy as hell!"

"Caw!"
