#745. business doesnât work

After the terrorist attack.
There was an uproar in the city.
The fact that there was a terrorist attack against a dark violinist in the middle of the city is also a big case.
The fact that the culprit used the gas of the three firearms that died not long ago was enough to shock everyone.
The sheriff, in particular, frothed at the mouth.
âHey, XXX things that will XX this XX and drive it into a dog XX! Canât you even properly protect yourself?â
âsorry. I didnât expect that the terrorist would use the armor of the three gunsâ¦â
âIs it okay if I didnât expect it? Do you think I heard something from the mayor?â
From the mayor to the wealthy.
Even among the influential people in the city, Leeâs fans were numerous, so I deliberately posted a lot of sheriffâs assistants.
The sheriff, who was greatly reprimanded and criticized for not doing anything when the terror occurred, went wild.
If this continued, he would have to shoulder all the responsibility and resign.
âEnough of the trifles, catch the culprit first! Whatever you do, find the dog X who did this!â
So it was.
The sheriffâs focus on finding the blackmailer.
Because the only way for him to avoid responsibility for this situation was to catch the ringleader of this terror.
The problem is that the intimidation law was so thorough that even if all investigation methods were used, it would be difficult to catch the tail.
In order to get clues, we should rather wait for the next terrorist attack.
But what if another terrorist attack occurs?
You have to take responsibility anyway.
Truly a quandary.
I have to do something.
No matter what you do, itâs useless.
The contradictory situation drove the sheriff into a corner.
âThere is no such thing as a perfect crime. There must be a clue!â
âIf I catch this bastard, I will kill him!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWouldnât he surrender if I told him to show up even now and take care of only one side of the fireâ¦?â
ââ¦Can you really not catch it?â
At the end of denying, angering, compromising, and being depressed about the situation without an answer.
When the sheriff, who had finally accepted his fate, began to write his resignation letter with a feeling of liberation.
A miracle happened.
âYou found a suspect?!â
âThere was an anonymous tip, but itâs still not clearâ¦
â Take off the leather until you catch a cheap x like a cheap X and say something! â
Forcibly detaining and interrogating a suspect with information without evidence.
It was a good thing to eat punishment.
But the sheriff didnât hesitate.
It was the same for him, who had already prepared to resign.
âYou mean to go to the dark side and catch the suspect?â
âokay!â
ââ¦how?â
The problem was that the suspect was, after all, a well-known tycoon even in the underworld.
In this already semi-lawless wilderness, the influence of the underworld could never be ignored.
It was not easy to forcibly arrest even the sheriff who handled public powers if the other party refused to comply with the arrest.
How to arrest such a tycoon.
The sheriff answered the deputyâs question without hesitation.
âHow? of courseâ¦!â
* * *
ââ¦so the sheriff drove the armor himself and went in with the sheriffâs deputies and arrested the culprit?â
âThe sheriffâs machine is the only armored cavalry in the city. It would not have been easy to prevent it if we were not prepared in advance.â
âBut there was another armored war in the city?â
âThe organizationâs gunmen fought fiercely to evacuate the boss.â
âThatâs rightâ¦â
Limon stuck out his tongue.
Or a sheriff using armor to catch a suspect.
Underworld gunfighters against such a sheriff.
It was something that could only be described as insane, something rare even in the semi-lawless wilderness.
Indeed, the city is a mayhem.
In the midst of the turmoil caused by the last terror attack, another armored war broke out, and even the citizens were in a frenzy.
Of course, the sheriff, who was the instigator of this situation, was also in a situation where it was difficult to avoid responsibility.
â¦if it was original.
âStill, Iâm glad youâre the sheriff. Proof that the culprit is real soon comes out.â
after a fierce battle.
until the suspect was apprehended.
Criticism of the sheriff public opinion was serious, especially in the underworld, to the point of preparing for a major war.
In this lawless wilderness, it was nothing more than a cumbersome organization that had to be bitten if even the public authorities were touched.
It was two things that changed public opinion.
Isaac.
Henri.
The two aircraft of the three guns that disappeared with Armand.
They were discovered during a random search of the suspectâs organization.
Of course, itâs obviously an illegal investigation.
As evidence was forcibly found without a warrant, it had no legal effect.
But this is a wilderness.
The law is far away and the gun is near.
The sheriff became a hero overnight, and his extrajudicial actions were dismissed as the execution of official duties.
Even other organizations have stopped preparing for war.
As long as the underworld figure was proven to be the culprit, they couldnât wage a war against the public authorities.
Or rather, they had to hold their breath and lie down in order not to go over to the wholesale level.
No matter how lawless this wilderness is, it was because there was a line that should not be crossed to keep the balance.
in that sense.
The gamble of the sheriff who ruined his life could be seen as a great success.
âIt seems fortunate that our report was put to good use, butâ¦â
That was it.
after close follow-up.
Find out who the blackmailer is.
The one who anonymously tipped off the information and had a huge impact on the sheriffâs success.
Thatâs why the manager of Leviathanâs branch asked a question in an indirect way.
âA group like that could have been handled with just our branchâs clan, so why was it necessary to hand it over to the sheriff?â
âNow is the time to avert your eyes.â
âIsnât that difficult from the time you stayed at our hotel?â
âSo itâs more like that.â
Even so, he was making a name for himself as a deep-dark violinist.
However, we should avoid getting entangled in the noise and attracting attention.
After speaking calmly.
Limon licked his lips.
âWell, I could throw it for our black dog practice. I donât think Iâll be able to train that much.â
ââ¦how many armored units were mobilized?â
âBecause there are only a few armored vehicles.â
A dragon is a dragon even if it loses its teeth.
In the first place, her ability to catch Armand with only a pistol was already to the extent that even the best masters surpassed it.
If the equipment is properly equipped, it is only a few pieces of armor.
It will take some time to catch it, but it wonât be such a difficult opponent for Black Dog.
Limon muttered inwardly.
âI still have a long way to go.â
I need to train her harder.
It was when Limon thought that if Black Dog knew, he would have screamed viciously.
âBy the way⦠the suspect arrested this time seems to be holding on saying that he will never open his mouth unless one is called.â
âYou seem to want to meet me, donât you?â
âno. Itâs a bit unexpected for me, but the target of that designation is someone else.â
âhmm?â
Who did he want to meet instead of himself on a subject he was obsessed with enough to terrorize?
Limon was puzzled.
and after a while
Hearing the managerâs answer, he couldnât help but put on a strange expression.
ââ¦Is that our black dog that he wants to meet?â
* * *
âDo you know why I entered the underworld?â
âBecause you like to bully others?â
âHahaha, itâs true, but thatâs just a preference.â
For that reason, he is not stupid enough to stain his life with crime.
He smiled and added another word.
âThe point is simple. Because it became a business.â
No matter how colorful the sunny side is.
The negative is deep and sticky.
Illegal funds coming and going to the underworld were enormous enough to transcend common sense.
Even the Seven Dragons group has been operating as a criminal organization for hundreds of years, amassing capital and still having an impact.
âCommitting a crime for fun is something only kids do. I commit crime because it pays off in the end.â
ââ¦In short, sending the blackmail letter to our boss is also part of the business?â
âYou are also good at talking.â
He nodded his head with a satisfied face for a moment.
He soon put on a sad expression.
âAs expected, we should have signed an exclusive contract at that time.â
ââ¦.â
âDo you have any intention of working with me right now?â
âI have no intention of helping you break out.â
âI didnât mean that with that intention⦠But anyway, itâs the same.â
A prime terrorist suspect.
The perpetrator who sent the blackmail letter.
And the underworld boss Alcapano, who was at least once Black Dogâs employer, chuckled.
âAnyway, what Iâm trying to say is that even the blackmail letter to your new employer was just business to me.â
âWhat kind of business do you think threatening a famous musician isâ¦?â
âSome famous musician?â
hear that
Alcapano asked again with an absurd face.
âHey Black Dog. Donât you know what a great nobleman the violinist you are guarding now is?â
âYouâre such a great boss that you get a lot of money just for playing a little bit, right?â
âItâs not just about getting a lot of money. He is a performer whose national budget moves at one performance.â
ââ¦Isnât that a bit exaggerated?â
âDo you think itâs an exaggeration?â
light laugh.
and the following remarks.
âEven if you sing the worldâs best singer, you can move the world with just your concert schedule.â
âThatâs because sheâs the president of Tiamat.â
âThat is not true either. But your employer has achieved a level with the owner of Seven Dragon Corporation in just one year and with only a few performances.â
ââ¦.â
âDo you understand how great it is now?â
Black Dog didnât answer.
Alcapano did not bother to wait for an answer.
As if the silence itself was enough, he just smiled and continued talking.
âThatâs why I made this up.â
ââ¦to tie our boss to this city and use it?â
âBecause it is a business opportunity that will be second to none in a lifetime.â
No matter how much wealth gunmen acquire by hunting spirits, a wilderness is a wilderness.
You canât escape the limits of the periphery.
But what if a world-famous deep-dark violinist could be settled here, managed, and given regular performances?
So what if you develop a city by attracting tourists and building cultural facilities? I didnât know
if I could turn this place into a decent big cityâ¦
no, maybe it could be turned into a land of wealth and gold comparable to Las Vegas.
âI guess my gamble failed.â
He wanted to become a tycoon who controlled the underworld of the prosperous city and ruled the underworld of the United States.
Indeed, Black Dog, who had been silent at the sight of an ambitious man like the boss of a criminal organization, spoke quietly after a while.
âSo why did you call me?â
âHaha, donât be so disappointed. I didnât invite you just to chat.â
âSo what is the reason?â
âBecause I wanted to tell you that Iâm a blackmailer, but not a terrorist. Thatâs no business.â
ââ¦What does it mean?â
âIt is literally.â
Although he is confined in handcuffs.
Still, Alcapano, who had not lost his relaxed attitude befitting a boss of an organization, suddenly hardened his face.
And unlike before, he spoke with a serious face.
âIt is true that I sent the blackmail letter to your employer, but that means there is another culprit who used the gas of the three guns to cause the terror.â
