After nightfall in Shinjuku District, Kabukicho Ichiban Street, outside a shiatsu shop run by a Vietnamese, several insiders who were in charge of soliciting customers were holding drinks outside the store, and when they saw any approaching customers, they would Go to the meeting to strike up a conversation, and once the other party expresses a certain interest, these people will bring the customer into the store to discuss. What happened after that was that only the client and the massage girl knew the secret.

The so-called insiders, outside Kabukicho, refer to those who are responsible for receiving tourists, while in Kabukicho, they have a more subtle meaning of tacit understanding. These people often appear at nights in Kabukicho. Most of them wear neat suits, and at the same time use several languages ​​to talk to the passing guests. Once the guests accept the arrangement of the insider, the entertainment place that accepts the guests will Pay the insider a substantial commission.

However... it is not easy to be a case person in Kabukicho, because if you want to solicit business here safely, the first thing you have to do is to find a backstage for yourself. And in Kabukicho, the most powerful backstage here is undoubtedly the Sumiyoshi Society. Here, Sumiyoshi will act like a policeman at night. Such as resolving the guests who came to make trouble, coordinating the disputes between the merchants, maintaining the law and order of the streets, and even acting as a temporary tour guide for the guests who came to Kabukicho for the first time... But... the premise of all this is that you must know speak Japanese. If you can't communicate in Japanese, most of the stores here will politely invite you out, and if you don't obey the other party's advice, the people from the Sumiyoshikai will come forward to resolve the dispute.

But... as a holy place in the hearts of men all over the world, there are always people who don't speak Japanese who come to Kabukicho to experience the fun here. For these people, although Japanese-run venues are not open to them, there are Vietnamese and Korean-run entertainment venues for these guests to choose from. So... Vietnamese and Koreans also have groups like the Sumiyoshi Society behind them to maintain everyone's interests. Although everyone does not violate the river water on weekdays, once there is a dispute over interests, there will inevitably be some overt or covert fights.

But...not everyone comes here for fun.

When a middle-aged man dressed as an office worker passed under the torii of Kabukicho 1st Street, he lowered the brim of his hat with some vigilance, and then slowly walked past the main entrance where the camera couldn't capture it.

"Guest, do you want to watch the show? There is a passionate dance by female college students tonight. If you don't like it, we can introduce you to another store..."

...

When this middle-aged man was walking on the street, there were always people in the case who came to talk to him from time to time, but... he just smiled and waved to the other party, and then politely rejected the other party's kindness. It was not until the middle-aged man came to the door of the shiatsu shop run by the Vietnamese that he took the initiative to approach and chat with the insider standing outside the door.

Next, the middle-aged man followed the insider into the alley like the other tourists, but after the two entered the alley, the middle-aged man was not brought into the Shiatsu shop by the insider. . I saw the two walked in from the back kitchen of a restaurant, then went straight through the kitchen to another exit, and then the Vietnamese who was in charge of leading the way looked at the surrounding situation, and then led the middle-aged man away. Entering an iron gate across the alley.

After the middle-aged man followed each other and entered the iron gate, they first passed through a long alley, and soon came to a dimly lit pachinko shop. Row of game machines. When he came to a door opposite the hall, a man in a suit who was guarding the door blocked the other party's way, until the other party raised his head and explained a few words to the man in a low voice, the person in the case brought the middle-aged man. through that door. Then the two went straight along the stairs to the basement of the entire building. Until this time, the person in the case was blocked, and then the middle-aged person was taken in by another person.

The middle-aged man was left in front of a pile of goods, but the man who brought him in casually lifted the tarpaulin covering the goods, and then he picked up the crowbar standing by the wall and inserted it into the gap of the wooden box. , and then with a little force, he pried open the top wooden box. Until this time, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, then put his hand into the wooden box, and took out a dark and cold black star pistol.

The man skillfully opened the barrel of the gun, and after seeing the gun oil smeared on it, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then he suddenly asked the place seriously:

Can you make sure that these pistols are all products from the assembly line of the arsenal, not from a small workshop?

"Of course, you should know about my reputation..."

"Okay...that's a nice gun, but...what about the other things I want?"

"This... something happened temporarily, things are still in the open sea of ​​Kanagawa Prefecture, and our people are trying to figure out a way!"

"Oh?"

...

After the middle-aged man heard the other party's answer, he couldn't help but be silent for a moment, but... At this moment, there was an eager knock on the door.

"Mr. Li, there is movement outside. The police car from the Shinjuku Department just drove into Kabukicho, and a large group of police also came in. I don't know what happened!"

Hearing the reminder from the people outside~lightnovelpub.net~ The Vietnamese called Mr. Lai and the middle-aged man all stopped their movements. I saw Mr. Liming quickly put the lid of the wooden box back again. Covered it back, and then covered the wooden boxes with the oilcloth just now. The middle-aged man put the pistol he just picked up in his briefcase, and then took out a roll of US dollars from his coat pocket and handed it to Mr. Li, and then Said to each other:

"These are the deposits, and the rest will be given to you after I receive the goods!"

"I understand, it's really unfortunate today, wait for me to send you out, Mr. Kuroda!"

"No, let's do it, how about we set the time for our next deal on Halloween?"

"Eh?"

"The Shibuya Parade on that day should be a good opportunity for us to deliver goods. At that time, the police in Shinjuku will gather in Shibuya to maintain order, and I will personally come to inspect the goods, so... I brought the freight from the sea to the city before..."

"Understood, Mr. Kuroda!"
