"What about you, puppy?" asked Lemon to Alex, who looked down at the phone in her hand and blinked when it hit her shoulder, "Up or down?"

"None of the above," Alex replied absently, glancing back at the screen and then briefly at Lemon without really looking at him, "I've got .... something to do. As soon as I'm done, I'll come to ...."

"Are you all right, darling?" asked Tangerine, lifting Alex's head by her chin so that she was looking at him, "Is there something we..."

"Nobody's on this train for no reason, are they?", Alex shook his head with a grin, "Come on. Get out of here. You guys do your jobs, and in the meantime, I'll do mine. Come on."

A 'whatever you say' was heard from Tangerine as a farewell, and the two brothers walked off in different directions.

Now for you, Junior.

According to the two assassins, there was no telling why Minegishi's son was dead. But there had to be something, and at the latest at the autopsy, they would find out what had killed the boy. It was a poison, no question, otherwise there would have been visible traces, which were not there.

Carefully, Alex sat down next to the dead heir, feeling the cold body for swellings and searching as best she could for unusual places. There was nothing on the hands, under the fingernails, on the arms, the face looked bad, but also behind the ears there was nothing. Just as she was about to give up, since the neck was fine as well, she pushed the collar of the shirt a little to the side and discovered a small spot on the side of the neck.

"There you go," Alex chuckled contentedly, falling back into her seat and pulling out the phone that showed a photo, "I've seen you a few times today."

Several times was the best way to put it. And no one would think of it. It was great. Best cover ever. Just great. Besides, there was no reason to be suspicious.
