Although Chongzong had taken out several thugs, his finishing touches were well handled, preventing the thugs from reporting back to their gangs for the time being, buying him time.
At the moment, Chongzong faced two problems:
First, he didn't know what Kuroda looked like.
Second, he didn't know the specific time and place Kuroda would have dinner.
Combining these two problems made accurately sniping Kuroda almost an impossible task.
In the extreme, even if Kuroda walked past Chongzong in the crowd at this moment, Chongzong wouldn't have the slightest sense.
How could he quickly get a photo of Kuroda?
As Chongzong briskly walked towards the food street, his mind was also racing.
Should he ask the neighboring shopkeepers if they had a photo?
No, the chances of success were slim. If Kuroda had a certain prestige and influence, inquiring blindly might alert him.
Disguise as a member of other gangs looking to cooperate with Kuroda?
No, with no preparation and being alone, the chances of failure were high, and it was too easy to be exposed.
All trains of thought were leading Chongzong to one conclusion: he had to take a risk and rely on luck.
But this was his last resort. Before reaching the food street, he did not intend to stop thinking.
What else had he not considered?
What other possibilities could be created?
What resources or people had he not thought of?
Who could help him in this situation…
Just then, the name Dojou Kazuaki flashed in Chongzong's mind.
—Right, the police!
Bosses like Kuroda would definitely have information about him with the police, including photos!
If he could convince Dojou Kazuaki to help, then this problem would be solved!
But a new problem arose.
Given Chongzong's current position and situation, Dojou Kazuaki would likely take over the matter and not let a student like Chongzong take the risk himself.
And this was something Chongzong didn't want to happen.
He didn't want the police to intervene and prolong the matter, he wanted to resolve it tonight, here and now, and make progress.
What should he do?
Chongzong thought of two people.
Usugi Yui.
Katagiri Mai.
Usugi Yui had interacted with Dojou Kazuaki several times before, and if it was her, she might be able to get Kuroda's photo from Dojou Kazuaki.
Katagiri Mai is the daughter of Dojou Kazuaki. Although she appears aloof on the outside, she is actually very warm-hearted and kind. If asked, she might be able to help obtain photos of Kuroda.
Chongzong remembered that previously, Uesugi Yui had asked for Katagiri Mai's help in acquiring communication devices, presumably with the assistance of Dojou Kazuaki.
So, who should Chongzong seek help from now?
With no time to hesitate and ponder, reaching out to Katagiri Mai seemed a bit too sudden for Chongzong. He quickly made a decision and dialed Uesugi Yui's phone number.
However, in his haste, Chongzong forgot two things.
First, Uesugi Yui was currently at the police station giving a statement, helping Chongzong with the aftermath of rescuing Mizuo and Yuki not long ago.
Second, Uesugi Yui never approved of him doing anything risky.
The result of his lack of consideration was that Chongzong did not get what he wanted.
