Chapter 10

In a secluded alley far away from the bustling streets and the hustle and bustle of the city, there was a cat café with a warm and exquisite decoration. Opening the door, the pleasant sound of a piano and the heater greeted him.

The bell on the glass door jingled, and the cats that were lying or nesting raised their heads. When they saw the visitor, they let out a sweet meow and intimately surrounded him.

The black-skinned man picked up the black cat that was clinging to his pants and stroked its fur. The black cat squinted its golden-green eyes in enjoyment, while the gyrfalcons on his shoulders glared at the four-legged beast that was trying to compete for his attention, especially the four-legged beast that was nestled in its master's arms.

When he finally broke free from the encirclement of the cats and walked to the piano, the owner of the café still didn't stop. Gentle and quiet notes were played one by one from his hands. The customer smiled helplessly, picked up a cup of hot cocoa from the small table beside the piano, leaned against the piano, and calmed down to enjoy the performance of the owner. The warm walls of the cup and the sweet liquid dispelled the lingering chill in his body.

Finally, when there was less than half of the light coffee-colored liquid left in his cup, the piano piece also came to an end. However, when the last light note fell, the shop owner, who had light gray hair and a gentle and quiet aura, opened his ruby-like eyes. A faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth as he gently looked at the customer who had been waiting for a long time.

"Tetsuo, you're here."

"Yes, I'm here, Kaoru."

The customer, who had the same clear black obsidian eyes, responded with the same gentle smile.

"How's the hot cocoa this time?"

"Haha, Kaoru's skill in making drinks is as good as always. So is the piano, I feel like every time I hear it, it can cleanse my soul."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Here, a Black Forest cake with extra chocolate."

The gray-haired owner served the customer his favorite dessert.

"Thank you … Hey!

Mo!

You can't eat this! "

In a hurry, the Black Cat who tried to sneak a bite of the cake was carried off the table. Hai Dongqing, who was standing on the side, gave the Black Cat a disdainful look and swallowed the meat in its mouth.

After laughing and joking, the owner sat opposite the customer and pushed the file in his hand over.

The customer's fork paused for a moment, then he put it aside, opened the file, took out the document inside, and carefully read it.

"Those people have been a lot more restrained recently, and this evidence is not easy to investigate.

As expected, the Italian side is too involved with the Mafia, all the reports and evidence sent there have been suppressed. Looks like you didn't deter them last time. "

The owner picked up his coffee and took a sip. The bitter aroma lingered in his mouth. "The FBI has a new agent with a strong sense of justice. He has a strong background and has recruited many people. Although I don't know how long this will last, the other side can relax for a while."

"..."

Hearing this, the customer held his chin and clicked his tongue unhappily. "FBI …"

"Haha, I know you don't have a good impression of that country, but since they helped us reduce some of our workload, let's calm down."

"No, we can't relax in the United States.

For ordinary criminal activities, the FBI may be very straightforward, but if it's the kind of people who are deeply involved with the upper class of the United States, and may affect the entire country, they won't touch them at all. Just like … "The owner crossed his fingers and put them on the bridge of his nose, and his dark eyes darkened. A trace of pain that was buried by the owner, but couldn't be removed, could not help but reveal itself." Just like, that time … "

The air in the coffee shop instantly quieted down, and neither of them continued the conversation. The owner raised his cup, and the smile on his face that never changed slightly faded.

The black cat that was lying on the cat tree shook its tail and landed lightly on the ground. It jumped onto the piano in a few steps and stepped on it. The sudden sound of the piano frightened the other cats that were taking a nap and they jumped up with a scream.

Hai Dongqing flapped its wings and almost hit its head on the transparent glass. At the same time, it also woke up the two people who fell into silence.

The owner tasted the coffee again, as if the silence just now didn't happen. He continued, "China is as reliable as ever. Some time ago, they seemed to have carried out some kind of 'beating the tiger and eliminating the greed' activity. The evidence we sent over seems to have helped a lot.

The most interesting thing is that one of their hackers somehow found my computer and sent me a thank-you letter.

Although I'm a little happy, that computer can't be used anymore. Fortunately, I put my address in every country. Otherwise, I would probably have been invited for tea by now. "As she said that, she winked at him a little playfully.

The customer couldn't help but be amused by him. His eyes softened, and with a little smile, he said, "That country has always been like this. Although there are still all kinds of shortcomings, at that time, she was the only one who reached out to help me.

It is precisely because of this that she has become better and better. "

"It seems that you really love her."

"Haha, how should I put it?

Just like my mother. "

— — —

"These are the names of people who haven't been active for more than three months, and are too involved with the high-level officials of various countries, so the criminal organization can't touch them."

The owner pointed to the documents in the customer's hand, picked up a snow-white long-haired white cat, and gently stroked its fur. "You just carried out a mission a few days ago, so don't be too anxious. Also, pay attention to your safety and be careful. Interpol is already watching you. Maybe they will find something."

"Okay, I understand."

The customer put away the documents, got up, and said goodbye to him. He left with Hai Dongqing, just like how he came, and left with the bell on the glass door.

After watching the customer leave, the owner of the shop turned his gaze back to the opposite side. He looked at the half-eaten Black Forest cake on the table, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth. "Ah, what a waste." Then he grabbed the back of the Black Cat's neck, and said with a gentle but somewhat strict voice, "Even if it is a waste, cats can't eat things like cake."

At three o 'clock in the morning the next day, the biggest drug lord in the Golden Triangle, "Poisonous Spider," who caused a headache to the criminal police forces of various countries for a long time, was assassinated in an empty alley on the southwest border of China. The followers accompanying him were found not far away, and all of them were subdued while unconscious. Next to the body of "Poisonous Spider," there was a document bag, and at the same time, a bloodstained feather.

After being informed by an unknown person, the captain of the armed police who rushed to the scene had a complicated expression. He ordered his team members to tie up the unconscious drug lords and put them into the car. He turned his head and looked at the captain of the Public Security Narcotics Task Force who also had a complicated expression.

"It's' ta, 'right?"

"Well, this is very similar to the rumors."

"I'm talking about the mysterious person who informed us at the same time."

"…" The captain of the narcotics squad, who was not very young anymore, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. The smoke that he exhaled made it difficult for others to see his expression. "This kind of thing is not something that we should care about.

But no matter who it is, it's just in my personal name. I still want to thank him. "

"Thank him for the brothers who died in the hands of these drug lords."

Sitting in the coffee shop, basking in the warm sun that was not scorching, the owner of the shop leisurely listened to music and sipped his coffee, and received another email.

The content of the email was very simple, only two words, "Thank you."

At the bottom left of the document, where the sender was supposed to be written, a golden dragon with fangs and claws was hovering in the clouds.

The owner of the shop chuckled, closed the computer, and took a sip of coffee.
