"I'm thinking that they really think that we are sent by our headquarters to monitor them, so why not just go to the Japanese branch and experience the local customs and customs there." Lu Mingfei suggested eagerly.
Anyway, since those people from the Sheqi Eighth Family have misunderstood, they might as well just use the trick and break into the house directly. If the travel process is normal, they will not be able to go directly to the Japanese branch. This will actually save some trouble.
"You're right," Chu Zihang took a calm sip of milk, and then picked up a fax document from the breakfast table, "This is the schedule they arranged for us."
Breakfast is brought directly to the suite from the dining car. In addition to the meals prepared by the chef himself, there is also a fax document, which contains their today's itinerary. The itinerary is divided into fifteen minutes as a time period, and the schedule is densely packed, from nine o'clock in the morning to evening
At six o'clock, they are expected to visit the Japanese branch's office center in Tokyo, visit the Japanese Imperial Palace arranged by the Imperial Household Agency, pay homage to the 1,400-year-old Sensoji Temple, and go shopping in Ginza. Lunch is arranged at a French restaurant with three Michelin stars, and dinner is
Our chef personally prepares top-notch Japanese cuisine. The fresh fish used for dinner has been shipped from the Tsukiji fish market at 6 o'clock this morning, including a 186-meter deep-sea tuna.
This itinerary was so detailed that even Chu Zihang was surprised. If there was a traffic jam, backup plans were prepared. From nine o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the afternoon, they had no so-called free time at all. They also became like Japan.
It is a part on a giant machine, and it can't help but rotate with the machine.
That's why Old Tang lamented that it wasn't a bad thing to have a local tour guide here. See, wasn't everything clearly arranged for them? They also saved a lot of time to look up some travel guides.
And this itinerary is just a very tactful suggestion to them. It says that if the elites of Kassel College want to stay in the hotel today, they will arrange the most comfortable service as possible.
"Caesar and Miss Justice also received the same itinerary." Chu Zihang said, "It seems that the other party really wants us to be under their gaze."
"The more they act like this, the more I want to know what they are hiding." Lu Mingfei complained.
"Then let's follow their schedule today and go to the Japanese branch to have a look. Although they must have been prepared, they can also deduce a lot of clues from some clues." Old Tang's eyes flickered.
The light that makes things happen.
"I listen to my brother." Constantine nodded his little head, looking very well-behaved.
Old Tang also rubbed his younger brother's hair very lovingly, and the atmosphere between the two brothers was exceptionally harmonious.
The corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched. He really should have shown Old Tang how Tang Chao looked like the school bully at Kassel College. This lawless dragon only looked like this in front of his brother.
After breakfast, the Japanese branch's car was waiting downstairs of the hotel to pick them up and visit the Japanese branch's base in Tokyo.
It's time to go to work. Office workers in a hurry are trotting in and out of the subway. Pedestrians are walking very fast, but their actions follow rules. Everyone seems to be running on invisible rails. Very few people will
Detached from its own track, people were waiting silently at the traffic lights across the street. The crowd was getting bigger and bigger, but no one was anxious or talking loudly. Then as the red light turned green, the cars on the street completely stopped in one second.
After stopping, the crowds of people poured across the street and dispersed along their respective tracks. The red light came on and the traffic flow resumed, and new groups of people waited silently under the red light.
The whole city is neat and orderly, and everyone lives and works in their assigned positions, leading a repetitive life day after day. There is a big difference between what it looks like during the day and what it looks like at night. Tokyo at night
It is colorful, exuding a coquettish beauty, like a lady wearing a kimono with a seductive figure, but during the day, Tokyo is a sporty girl, with simple tones, and the buildings blend into the background of the sky without being obtrusive.
Chu Zihang turned around and saw that Lu Mingfei was also looking at the scenery outside the car window in a daze, with the endless flow of traffic reflected in the window.
"This is a country bound by rules. The entire country is a complex machine. Everyone is a part of this machine, bound by rules to run at high speed. It's really scary to think about such a life." Chu Zihang said softly.
Say, "Are you thinking about this too?"
Lu Mingfei smiled coquettishly: "I was thinking about the store I just passed by. The ramen inside looked delicious."
The layout was a bit like Ichiraku Ramen in Fire ○ Ninja, which made him want to try it.
Chu Zihang turned his head back silently. With the same serious eyes staring at the same thing, the observer's psychological activities may be completely different. For example, a simple bird, in the eyes of the poet, this is a beautiful poem
, and in the eyes of foodies, it is a delicious dish.
"By the way, didn't you just have breakfast?" Chu Zihang asked his soul.
"Does this have anything to do with wanting to eat delicious food? Being full and hungry are two different things!" Lu Mingfei said plausibly.
"I also want to eat ramen." Old Tang couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe eel rice would be good too."
In the famous cartoon about the Grim Reaper, there was a chubby primary school student who especially liked to eat eel rice. He often mentioned eel rice, which aroused Old Tang's appetite.
So Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang began to discuss the special delicacies here with great interest.
Chu Zihang covered his face silently.
To put it bluntly, he didn't really want to sit with these two guys.
The car stopped. The girl in a black suit opened the door and bowed deeply with her hands on her pants: "Welcome the commissioner of this department to visit the Japanese branch."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Standing outside the car door, Minamoto's assistant Sakura Misuki was greeted. She had already met when they arranged their stay last night. She is a rare thin girl among Japanese girls.
She is tall and has long black hair styled into a high ponytail like a kendo girl.
Lu Mingfei waved his hand quickly and said, "I told you that we are not the commissioners of our headquarters, we are just a tour group of our headquarters."
"Welcome the tour group from our headquarters to inspect the Japanese branch." Shibuki Yingdan changed her words steadily. Her expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether she believed it or not. But there was a high probability that she didn't believe Lu Mingfei's words.
"By the way, didn't Miss Zhengyi and the others come here?" Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked around.
"Mr. Gattuso, Miss Chen, Miss Xia and Miss Hall did not choose to visit the Japanese branch, but chose to go to the custom street owned by our company." Sakura Mofuki explained.
"I originally thought there would be men in black bowing in the street." Old Tang got out of the car and looked up at the black skyscraper.
Among the elegant gray buildings, such a building wrapped in iron-black glass curtain wall looks very abrupt. It is like a black iron monument, implying the strength of the institution that lives in it.
"If you visit the family shrine, they still maintain the tradition of welcoming you along the street, but you have to keep a low profile in Tokyo to avoid disturbing the surrounding neighbors. Please forgive me."
"Due to the traffic jam, you are already four minutes behind schedule, but it doesn't matter. We have checked the traffic conditions along the way, so the meeting between you and the family heads has been delayed for fifteen minutes. I will take you to visit the office area.
Bar."
"This building was completed at the end of 2004. It is the headquarters of Genji Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. and the office center of the college in Tokyo." Sakura led the Caesar trio into the open hall.
Rapid and powerful footsteps can be heard everywhere in the lobby, clerks holding folders are coming and going, the air is filled with the scent of elegant perfume, and the elevator bells are ringing one after another. It seems that this building is the same as Ginza's top business
There is no difference in the center, except for the official business they are dealing with...
Well, it's very characteristic of the underworld... Either they're discussing whether a certain gang's sphere of influence is expanding or shrinking, they're discussing whether to carry out an armed conflagration, or they're blatantly discussing issues such as bribery and kidnapping...
Lu Mingfei's eyebrows twitched, feeling as if he had entered a bandit's den.
But then I thought about it...
Isn't this a bandit's den?
"Everyone... looks very motivated," Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched, "Is this a new generation of underworld organization?"
As the observation elevator went up, Lu Mingfei could overlook the bustling scene through the iron-black glass curtain wall. There were serpentine elevated highways looming between the high-rise buildings in Shinjuku District, and there was constant traffic. One of the elevated highways actually passed through Genji Heavy Industries.
The fifth and sixth floors of this building do not exist. They are replaced by road tunnels. Tens of thousands of vehicles pass through the building every day, while other floors are completely unaffected.
Visiting along the elevator, Lu Mingfei and his party had a profound understanding of the strong power of the eight Sheqi families here.
Soon the elevator reached the 30th floor. This floor is in Japanese style, with elderly people wearing kimonos sitting around on the tatami drinking tea and whispering.
"This is called the Strategy Department. Only the elderly with the most status in the family can enter the Strategy Department. They used to be the leaders of the underworld gangs, and there are very few things that require their intervention. What they usually do is drink tea.
, but if they sit here, the status of this building in the Japanese underworld will be more stable. They are the pillars supporting this place." Sakura said, "Only very difficult things will force them to come forward, and they usually cannot appear in public.
Because they have all been wanted by the police for more than ten years, the bounties for their arrests are quite high."
"Because some of them have very large bounty amounts, they are even directly targeted by bounty hunters. You have heard of the famous 'World', right?" Sakura said, "In the past few years, there were several
The respected old man was directly arrested and taken to collect the reward. Fortunately, the police had our people, and we finally managed to pick them up, so they can no longer show up in public at will."
"This incident aroused a violent response from our family. We directly placed a huge bounty on 'The World', which is many times higher than the bounty of those old people."
After hearing this, several people present were more or less embarrassed.
Strictly speaking, they and the bounty hunter "World" are in the same group. If this group of gangsters finds out, they will probably be attacked by a group...
Fortunately, Sakura quickly avoided this topic.
"At this time, the head of the family of the Eighth Surname is already waiting for you all in Xingshen Temple. Please come with me."
"Eight surnamed family heads?" Lu Mingfei's mind pictured eight tall-looking old men, wearing pitch-black kimonos, with bursts of yin energy coming out of their nostrils.
Sakura opened a hidden sliding door, and the sunlight came in. There was actually a spacious terrace on this floor. It was hidden in a corner of the building and was not easily visible from the ground or the sky. Only by opening the sliding door,
Only then can you step into this cave.
It is called Xingshenji Temple, and it is indeed the style of a temple, but it is not a Buddhist temple but a Japanese Shinto temple. There is a small vermilion "torii", and various ghosts and gods from Shintoism are carved on the granite wall.
The solemn Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, the mighty Suzuo no Oi, and the ferocious demons, some with lion-like faces and exposed fangs, and some sitting cross-legged on piles of skeletons, surrounded by wind and clouds
These gods and demons are like a hundred ghosts walking at night. There is actually a clear spring on the terrace. The spring is surrounded by a dry landscape composed of white stones and green grass, giving it a leisurely Zen feel.
Sakura held a copper basin filled with water. Before visiting the shrine, there was a so-called "hand water ceremony" to cleanse hands and mouth.
The black and white stone table formed a circular Tai Chi pattern. The six people waiting at the table all stood up and bowed.
"You have already met Mr. Yuan Zhisheng, the head of the Yuan family..." Sakura introduced them one by one.
Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the young man they met yesterday who invited them to be their guest was actually one of the highest-ranking people in the eight Sheqi families.
They had held the neck of that high-status young man before, thinking about his women's clothing.
cough……
These and other things can be ignored...
But what surprised Lu Mingfei the most was that he saw a very unexpected person among the family heads sitting in this row.
It was the dark red-haired girl who walked with them for a short period of time that day and remained silent, which made Lu Mingfei very fond of her.
The girl named "Eri Yi".
Lu Mingfei was stunned and speechless, staring unblinkingly at Eri Yi, who was dressed in a miko's costume and sitting obediently on her knees.
"This is the head of the Uesugi family, Eri Uesugi."
The voice of Ying's introduction reached Lu Mingfei's ears.
Lu Mingfei looked a little confused. It turned out that this girl's full name was Uesugi Eri. It was really a good name.
Eri Uesugi obviously also saw Lu Mingfei.
She tilted her head and glanced at Lu Mingfei, then suddenly winked at Lu Mingfei playfully.
