Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three: Like a funeral
The luxurious suite was pitch black, with cracked walls and ceilings covered with abstract 'ink' paintings. The sofas and chairs were burned by the high temperature and fell apart and piled in the corner. The rows of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room that overlooked the entire Shinjuku disappeared, and it was majestic.
The strong night wind blows from the white-capped peak of Mount Fuji and blows into the heart of the girl standing at the door.
"My shoes." Mandy whined.
The wooden shoe cabinet near the door has been burned through. The several pairs of women's shoes inside are no longer colorful, replaced by smoky black. A pair of plush high-top shoes that were originally pure white and stain-free are the worst.
The overwhelming smell of burning protein could be smelled from afar.
"Didn't you always worry about whether its pure wool was fake or not? At least you don't have to worry about it now." Lin Nian patted Mandy on the shoulder and tried to comfort her.
"Even if it is fake, it cost me half a month's food money to buy it!" Mandy looked away from the shoe cabinet sadly. After seeing the ruined living room of the suite, she was dizzy for a few seconds.
I almost knelt down.
"My clothes and pants!"
Suitcase corpses were scattered everywhere in the suite. There was a pothole in the center, which was the center point of this human tragedy. Lin Nian and Mandy's suitcases happened to be very close to there. You can imagine the moment of explosion.
It was the scene of a maiden scattering flowers.
"It's okay. Didn't you always complain that overseas purchasing agents might bring fake goods back? Now that you are in Japan, you can buy Evisu and BAPE with peace of mind." Lin Nian supported his senior sister who was crying and comforted her.
, he has never been in love but he probably still knows the importance of cosmetics, clothes and shoes to women. When he was a child, he took Lin Xian’s lipstick and scribbled on the other party’s newly bought shoes. Although they were cheap goods, the elder sister
When he got home, he almost spanked his butt into three pieces.
Okubo Ryoichi was on the phone at the door, nodding or shaking his head from time to time, and making "hi" sounds frequently. After the call, he put away his phone and walked into the room and said: "I have verified it with my family. According to Kaguya's monitoring of the city,
, the moment we suffered an explosion at the Aobo-gumi office, four explosions occurred simultaneously in Shinjuku. At first, some people in the Strategy Department thought that this was rare and simultaneous, but our intelligence overturned this conjecture. This was a man-made crime.
, plus a total of five bombings we encountered were all directed at us."
"Before, we were still curious about how the other party found our mission location accurately, but now it seems that the answer has been made public." Lin Nian squatted on the edge of the pit and stretched out his head to explore the floor below.
"Initiate multiple incidents in Shinjuku at the same time, and then blow them all up at a fixed location. We even considered that if we are lazy in the hotel tonight, we will blow up the hotel together again. We would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go." Ryoichi said.
I wiped the water droplets on my shoulders. Fortunately, the Park Hyatt Hotel has the best fire-fighting measures. When the fire spread, the smoke had already triggered the smoke alarm in the corridor. The entire floor began to sprinkle water indiscriminately to contain the fire until the fire broke out.
Crews arrived and completely extinguished the flames.
"My cosmetics!" A miserable howl sounded in the room again. Lin Nian and Liang Yi looked at each other with helplessness in each other's eyes - a little regretful if the smoke alarm in their suite had not been bombed immediately.
If it blows up, Mandy's clothes and bags might be saved.
"Can this kind of 'work injury' be reimbursed by my family?" Lin Nian scratched his cheek.
"If Mr. Lin reported it in person, there should be no problem. It's just a few clothes and cosmetics." Ryoichi turned around and looked around: "I'm more curious about how the bomb was transported to this suite than this."
"There's no need to worry about this. Hotels like this usually have meticulous room service, right?" Lin Nian remembered that when he was studying, his classmates boasted about how considerate the room service at the most luxurious Regent Hotel in their area was.
Be diligent.
"Yes, if our enemies are really fierce, it shouldn't be too easy for them to get a hotel room key." Ryoichi threw away the oxidized black sterling silver tableware in his hand.
"By the way, where are the Tamamozen Club and the airport? I remember you said that those two places are also marked on the map."
"There were no explosions in the club or the airport. The former is considered the core place of our Inuyama family. Even if the demons want to sneak in and plant bombs, it will be very troublesome. As for the airport, Kaguya has checked it. There is no airport at the point where the explosion occurred.
When the plane takes off or stops, the chance of us appearing at the airport is very slim, so the demons probably gave up blasting there." Ryoichi explained.
"Japan will probably not be quiet tonight, right?" Lin Nian looked at the bright city outside the building, which was as bright as burning. The Tokyo Sky Tree in the distance shone white like a long-lasting lighthouse.
"This matter was discussed everywhere in the news. We evacuated the scene of the explosion in a timely manner. In addition, almost everyone who escaped from the fire scene had black faces. Even if people on the roadside were taking pictures, they couldn't tell us apart.
." Liang threw the illuminated mobile phone to Lin Nian. Lin Nian took it and took a look. The mobile phone was full of real-time breaking news reports. He scrolled and saw the notice issued by the Metropolitan Police Department, which contained information on those involved in the explosion.
The news is only "under close investigation".
"What did the head of the Inuyama family say? If such a big thing happened, the entire family should have noticed us, right?" Lin Nian handed the phone back to Ryoichi.
"This kind of large-scale act has been basically confirmed to be the work of fierce ghosts. The Executive Bureau has filed a case. This explosion has become the top priority of the Executive Bureau tonight. Many law enforcement officers have already set off to the explosion site. Princess Kaguya
We also began to mobilize street surveillance videos from the past day, and the matter of harming members of our family has risen to the most serious level," Ryoichi said.
"Does that mean there won't be anything happening next for us?" Lin Nian understood Ryoichi's subtext.
"Yes." Ryoichi said calmly: "If such a big thing happens, the Executive Directorate will definitely intervene. To put it bluntly, we can only be regarded as a peacekeeping team under the Inuyama family. We are not serious law enforcement personnel. It is trivial.
We can call the shots, but big shots are handled by the big shots."
"I feel a little uncomfortable. It was us who were bombed, but we were excluded." Lin Nian kicked the cracked glass on the ground.
"If you have any opinions, you can raise them to the superiors. I will be your mouthpiece." Ryoichi said.
"Why do you feel like you like to see me appeal?" Lin Nian raised his eyes and glanced at Liang Yi.
"Oh, I've been unhappy with the Executive Directorate for a long time. If I could use your integrity to interfere in their affairs for once, I think I would be very happy." Ryoichi said.
"Are you unhappy with the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhisheng? You seem to have said that he is the director of the Executive Bureau." Lin Nian was a little surprised: "I thought people like you were mindlessly loyal to people above."
"The internal affairs of each of the eight Sheqi families are independent. The head of the Minamoto family is in charge of the entire executive bureau. He is the authority in the family. If he says we can't interfere, we can't interfere. Many things in Shinjuku are originally our Inuyama family's.
Internal affairs, but the Minamoto family has brought the executive bureau to intervene many times and violently suppress the matter. Of course we have problems with them over time." Ryoichi sat on the wet sofa and clapped his hands.
"Then who in my family is in charge now?" Lin Nian asked.
"The head of the Tachibana family, Mr. Tachibana Masamune, is the leader of our eight Sheqi families. At the same time, the head of the Minamoto family is his son." Ryoichi said.
"I probably understand why you are unhappy with the Executive Board." Lin Nian shrugged and stopped asking.
"Let's not talk about this now." Ryoichi tilted his head and changed the topic: "Now the bombing has occurred. If the fierce ghosts' trip was to alert the snake's attention, then they have succeeded. Now the whole city is covered with
With all our spies, even if there are no less than ten law enforcement officers in this hotel now monitoring and exploring every corridor entrance, we are probably considered safe."
"That sounds really reassuring." Lin Nian nodded: "What should we do tonight? Can we open a new room on another floor in the hotel?"
"No, since this hotel has been blasted, it means that this place has been fully monitored by the enemy. Before thoroughly investigating the entire hotel and the surrounding situation, you may have to change places to stay."
"Change a hotel or something?" Lin Nian was quite indifferent about living in this aspect. After all, no matter how small the room was, he could still squeeze into it. When he was extremely miserable, he went to the park to pitch a tent with his elder sister.
"You put your external identity documents and passports in your suitcase, right?" Ryoichi glanced at the devastated environment: "Why don't you go to my house? My house is quite big, and it's quite close to the Tamamozen Club.
That area is considered the headquarters of the Inuyama family, and even the fierce ghosts must not dare to step in."
"If you don't mind the trouble, I don't care." Lin Nian clapped his hands and his sleeves were empty, and his sundries were burned clean by the fire. Fortunately, he took the student ID card issued by the college with him before going out.
, because this thing can be used as an American Express black card, and his first-term scholarship is all in it. If this thing is burned, he will have to fight the devils all night tonight.
"What did your senior sister say?" Ryoichi glanced at the room where the door panel was burned through. Mandy was counting some burned and deformed bottles and jars, probably thinking about the use of the uncooked cosmetic liquid left inside.
Cannot be recycled.
"Does she look like a spoiled person to you?"
"That's right." Ryoichi withdrew his gaze: "Let's go then, while it's still early and the train hasn't stopped running."
