Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 27 A clever approach

Fujiwara Masato lay comfortably on the bed, opened the system task interface, and looked for tasks that were not too excessive and that he could accept at the moment.

The system seems to be somewhat inclined to turn the host into an outlaw or a warmonger. Most of its above-mentioned tasks are a bit "violent". Compared with when Masato Fujiwara first came to Japan, the contents of the tasks in it are more excessive. Some.

For example this.

+A father's revenge
  Brief description of the mission: Takashi Ikoma, the "good" son of Ikoma Kawada, was beaten for no reason. His face was bruised and swollen. He lay in the hospital for three days and suffered "heavy injuries" both physically and mentally. The angry father was looking for his enemy. If someone would kill his enemy for him, he was willing to pay a monetary reward.

Mission reward: one million yen and one thousand experience points. +
  Look, the person who issued this task is so outrageous. If someone just beats his son, he will pay for the murder... Wait, why does this guy's son's name sound familiar to me?

Fujiwara Masato thought about it carefully and found the reason why he felt familiar with this name.

"Isn't this the bully boy that I asked Huang Mao to beat up? After Huang Mao beat him up, his father paid for the murderer to kill him? Zhi Zizhen, as expected, families that can teach high school bullies are not good people."

Fujiwara Masato took out a palm-sized diary and wrote the guy's name in Chinese on it. He planned to arrange for him when he had time. He had to do other system tasks in his free time tonight to gain experience points. Upgrade the intelligence of other characters.

Fujiwara Masato continued to search for a suitable task. After searching for more than ten minutes, he finally found a task that he could currently do.

+Mobile bounty for office workers.

Mission description: Ryosuke Tsuneta’s iPhone was stolen in Arakawa Pedestrian Street in Adachi District. There was something very important to Ryosuke Tsuneta in the phone, so he was very anxious. Now he has posted a reward on the Internet, hoping that someone can help him find the phone. , or the thief who stole his phone returned it to him, and for this, he was willing to pay the person who returned the phone money.

Mission reward: 200,000 yen and 240 experience points. +
  Hey, this task can be done.

Fujiwara Masato not only reviewed the task again carefully and seriously, he also knew the location of Arakawa Pedestrian Street inside. It was only three kilometers away from Fujiwara's house, which was not very far. It could be reached by bicycle in half an hour.

Secondly, this task is also special than other tasks, that is, it does not require Masato Fujiwara to send someone to find the person involved to take the task. He only needs to take the mobile phone and return it to him. The task will be completed and the task reward will be obtained.

Fujiwara Masato is very interested, but this task is not easy if you think about it carefully.

First of all, there is no need to accept the mission, which means that the mission target will not be directly marked on the system map. How to find the mobile phone requires Fujiwara Masato to find the thief himself.

How to find this?

Fujiwara Masato checked the content of this mission again. After reading it several times, he keenly grasped the key points... Arakawa Pedestrian Street, thief.

He thought for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and logged into a local life forum in Adachi City, and began to search for "Arakawa Pedestrian Street theft incident" and "Do thieves in Tokyo have a fixed territory?", and then spent twenty minutes reviewing the searched content. Do some reading.

Twenty minutes later, Masato Fujiwara came to two conclusions... First, there is indeed a gang of thieves in Arakawa Pedestrian Street. The Adachi District police have warned nearby residents and businesses many times, but they have not conducted a single crackdown on this gang. Crack down on behavior.

Second, thieves do have a fixed territory. Some very prosperous commercial streets are guarded by violent gangs. They dare not go there. There is no gain in going to a place that is too barren and no one is there, and it is easy for people to starve to death. Only those who cannot get up or down. The pedestrian street is their ideal place.

In order to compete for such good territory, thieves in Tokyo will form their own gangs and expel thieves outside the gang by force to ensure that only their own people are active in this street.

At the same time, in order to make their jobs last longer, these thieves’ gangs will also choose and plan the number of thefts and theft goals, so as not to be too harsh and drive away the “customers”.

Very good, Masato Fujiwara knows how to find the mobile phone. The only problem is that he may need to go to Arakawa Pedestrian Street in person, because the IQs of the three subordinates under his command are not enough at present. Masato Fujiwara uses the third-person vision of the map to observe and Command is also less able to conduct more precise and real-time command.

"Let's go." Fujiwara Masato just did it. He got up and started preparations.

In order to prevent accidents, Fujiwara Masato bought a "camouflage coat" in the prop store. After wearing it, he will become much burlier in appearance. Then his height is also an issue, so Fujiwara Masato also bought a pair of height-increasing pairs. leather shoes.

Because the average height of young people in Japan has generally been unsatisfactory in recent years, invisible height-increasing shoes are available everywhere in Japanese shoe stores. They are completely invisible after being worn, and there is no need to purchase such products specifically in system stores.

After getting ready, Fujiwara Masato set off. For the sake of convenience, he drove out tonight and stopped by a gas station to fill up.

Arriving at Arakawa Pedestrian Street did not take Fujiwara Masato too much time to park the car, close the door, and walk into this street.

Arakawa Pedestrian Street is a street that mainly sells department stores. It contains large shopping malls and supermarkets, which mainly sell clothes, jewelry, electronic products, and food.

One of the malls, called Matsugiya Shopping City, was Fujiwara Masato's target. He had already found an online post by an office worker named Ryosuke Tsuneta and learned that this was where he lost his phone.

After entering the mall, Fujiwara Masato started looking for someone.

Who to look for? Looking for a thief?
  No, Fujiwara Masato is not looking for thieves. Since they can hang out in Arakawa Pedestrian Street, first of all, they must be good at disguise, and they will not be recognized as thieves at a glance, because they do not have this skill. Thieves have long since been unable to survive in this business.

Who is Masato Fujiwara looking for?
  He is looking for the staff of the mall. Ordinary people cannot recognize the thief, but the professionals who work in the mall will definitely know the people who often hang out here and behave suspiciously.

Soon, Masato Fujiwara targeted a mall staff member...a Japanese old man who was pushing a large sweeper.

This uncle is very old, because his hair is almost completely white, and the wrinkles on his face can kill flies. He is obviously an old employee of the mall.

This is not only because of the old gentleman's age, but also because the white cleaner's uniform he is wearing has turned yellow from being washed for a long time.

Fujiwara Masato thought for a while, waved his hand to open the system, and summoned Ax Ren.

Huang Mao was obviously not suitable for dealing with such an old man, and Yiyong No. 1 didn't feel very good either. Without many choices, he had no choice but to choose Ax Ren.

Ax Ren quickly emerged from a corner of the mall where there was no one and no cameras were filming, and he quickly came to Masato Fujiwara's side.

"Boss."

"Did you see that old cleaner?" "Yes." Hatou Ren replied truthfully. His honest appearance and accent with Japanese rural dialect greatly increased Fujiwara Masato's confidence, and he felt that the words he had prepared for the former were certain. it works.

"You go over to chat with him later, hand him cigarettes first, and then you say to him... take this pack of cigarettes."

The plot is very simple. Fujiwara Masato asked Atsuto to pretend to be a countryman who came to Tokyo to see a doctor with his seriously ill son. In order to make his son happy two days ago, Atsuto took him to the indoor amusement park of this mall. play.

After never wanting to leave the mall, Ax Ren found that the package he was carrying had been cut open and the money for his son's medical treatment had been stolen. Now he was desperate and wanted to find the thieves who had stolen his money. He knelt down and begged him to give him the money. The money for his son's medical treatment was returned to him.

Such a father who came to the metropolis of Tokyo for his son, a man who was even willing to kneel down to a thief for his son, coupled with the image of Ax Ren, anyone with a bit of conscience will be moved by the latter's words and provide him with help.

Therefore, Fujiwara Masato watched with confidence as Hatou Ren walked towards the old cleaner. He found a corner where he would not be caught by the mall cameras and where he could observe the conversation between the two parties.

Then Fujiwara Masato saw Hatoshi Ren and the latter starting to talk. The conversation should have gone smoothly at the beginning. The pack of cigarettes that Fujiwara Masato asked Hatoshi Ren to pass was among the most expensive ones in the supermarket. The old cleaner was obviously an old man. The smoker knows the price of this pack of cigarettes, and he smiles when he takes the cigarettes.

Taking advantage of the old cleaner's good mood, Ax Ren quickly talked to him according to the boss's detailed instructions. It was okay at first, but then as they were talking, the old guy suddenly cursed at Ax Ren, and even turned around from the large He pulled out a mop dipped in water from the sweeper and hit the axe.

Ax Ren was beaten away by the old cleaner in great embarrassment. After watching the former run into the crowd and disappear, the latter proudly returned to the large sweeper carrying the mop, humming a tune while pushing it to continue. Work.

Fujiwara Masato was shocked after watching the whole scene. What happened? The words I tailor-made for Ax Ren were exposed?
  However, even if he is exposed, the old guy will not wave a mop to drive people away.

The escaping Ax Ren quickly ran back to Fujiwara Masato. He was now in a very embarrassed state. His white shirt was covered with black and gray sewage marks everywhere, and his hair was dripping with water, and the smell was unpleasant.

"Boss, I failed." Ax Ren lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"What's going on? Why did you fail?" Fujiwara Masato wanted to know the answer. Is it because there was a problem with his speaking skills or because Atsutoto's performance was not up to par?

"I don't know." Axe Ren still looked honest.

"I just mentioned to him that my money was stolen and wanted to ask him to find the thief in the mall, but he got angry."

When Ax Ren said this, Fujiwara Masato scratched his head. The development of this matter was beyond his expectation.

However, there is something wrong with this old guy's reaction. He should know who the gang of thieves in the mall is. Since he is unwilling to tell them, then... it is impossible to just let it go.

As the saying goes, first be polite and then use force. Now that "ritual" has failed, then use "soldiers."

Fujiwara Masato waved his hand and released Huang Mao and Yiyu No. 1. The two quickly emerged from the corner of the mall and came to him.

"Boss!"

"Did you see that old guy?"

"I saw it."

"Come on, the three of you go grab him and drag him into the men's room." Masato Fujiwara, wearing glasses and a mask, waved vigorously and whispered to the three people around him.

"Axe Ren is guarding the door and won't let anyone else in. Huang Mao and Yiyong No. 1 are asking the old man. I need to get information from him about the gang of thieves who often operate in the mall. If necessary, I can use a knife to show him the color. .

After you're done, come out to the mall to find me. If an accident happens, you can retreat first. "

"Understood." The three of them nodded and bowed to Masato Fujiwara, telling the passers-by to stay away, because the scene looked too much like a gangster brother leading people to work.

After giving instructions, Fujiwara Masato turned around and left. Since everything had been ordered, it was time for him to leave the scene, so that if any emergency happened, he would not be involved and put him in danger.

After Masato Fujiwara took the elevator down and out of the sight of the three of them, Huang Mao, Giyu No. 1 and Ax Ren rushed towards the old guy not far away.

When the three of them got closer, the old guy also discovered that these three people were obviously coming with bad intentions. He was also an old gangster. Knowing that something was wrong, he quickly let go and threw away the large sweeper that was still running, turned around and wanted to run away.

Unfortunately, although the old guy's consciousness was still good, his body was too old and his escape speed was too slow. He was quickly blocked by three guys who didn't care about respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and then he was dragged towards the toilet.

Along the way, all the Japanese passers-by who saw the four people ducked out of the way to make way for them, including two mall security guards wearing security uniforms. They seemed to have not seen this scene. He patrolled other places without thinking, turning his back to the four people to express their attitude.

Again, security can't protect anyone.

Fujiwara Masato waited patiently outside. After waiting for half an hour, Huang Mao, Giyu No. 1, and Ax Ren came back.

"How about it? Did he say it?"

"After I hit his thigh with a knife, he told me the address of the pedestrian gang of thieves." Huang Mao said happily.

"At first, he was quite tough, clamoring that he had the ability to kill him. But when my switchblade saw blood, he immediately relented."

"Well, give me the address and leave quickly. This old guy is obviously with those thieves. He should inform them now that we..."

"Don't worry, boss, I crushed his cell phone. He can't use it for the time being. We still have some time."

Fujiwara Masato looked at Huang Mao in surprise. He didn't expect that after level two, he would occasionally have such witty moments.
