Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk - Chapter Sixteen

“impossible!”

“You bastard!”

Two angry voices sounded in the banquet at the same time, and suddenly echoed in the hall.

The voice from the Tsukiyomi group was Yato Haya, while the voice from the Asahi group was a middle-aged man behind Hana Asahina.

“It’s absolutely impossible!” Even after the middle-aged man yelled angrily, he was still agitated and slammed the table loudly. “You guys don’t push yourself too hard!”

“I thought……”

However, seeing Shenxiu didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids, he just looked at the wine glass in his hand and said casually.

“A spokesman for the Asahi Group can have at least one voice.”

“Mr. Ryoma!” Asahina Hana’s expression also changed. The seventeen-year-old girl suddenly looked terrified, and turned her head to squint at the middle-aged man behind her. The voice is harsh.

“This is my private banquet, if you do this again, I will invite you out!”

“Miss! You can’t…” The middle-aged man seemed to be in a rage, and he turned his head and said loudly to Asahina Hana.

“You can’t promise this bastard! He…”

“Bastard!” At that moment, Asahina Hana’s body burst out with astonishing power, her brows stood on end, and her voice directly overwhelmed the resentment of the middle-aged man in front of her.

“I repeat!”

At that moment, there seemed to be a red flower-like killing intent on her body, and the powerful force directly locked on the middle-aged man, and the remaining power swept across the entire hall, making the gods next to her look sideways in surprise. The scolding sound even overwhelmed the thunder that sounded outside the hall at the same time.

“Mr. Jianshen is my guest! Apologize to Mr. Jianshen and get out!”

“Boom—”

Even after her voice fell, the thunder outside came into the hall, and there was only a residual sound at the end.

“…”

The middle-aged man seemed to realize his gaffe just now, his face turned blue and white, and he didn’t dare to say a word in the end, he just reluctantly turned around and apologized to Jian Shenxiu Yaoyao’s worship, and then fell silent without saying a word. Get up and go to the back of the hall.

“It’s Hana’s lack of control. Please don’t mind Mr. Jianshen.” Asahina Hana turned her head to look at Jianshenxiu, and immediately put on a decent smile again, changing her face as fast as everything just now Nothing happened in general.

“Mr. Ryoma has quite some ancestral heritage in Motomachi. Before Hana took office, Mr. Ryoma has always been the head of law and order in the Motomachi neighborhood. Hearing this kind of request is inevitably agitated. Please forgive me.”

“Small things.”

Jian Shenxiu just kept lowering his eyebrows, as if he didn’t see this absurd farce, and his voice was still calm. During the whole process, he just lingered on Asahina Hana’s body for a moment, as if he had discovered something that surprised him, but he quickly withdrew his gaze.

“Let’s get back to the topic. I think the two neighborhoods of Motomachi in the upper city and Kotobuki in the lower city are no longer suitable for you to manage. It happens that these two neighborhoods were originally near the central business district, so it’s better to bring them over directly. alright.”

“Mr. Kanshen, you know that Hana would never agree to such a condition. Ms. Yedu just expressed her opinion, and they don’t accept such a condition.” The smile on Asahina Hana’s face was a bit forced, but she was still firm. shook his head.

“The law and order in the upper city is managed by Asahi, and the law and order in the lower city is managed by Tsukiyomi. This is something that Navi City Hall and us had a treaty in black and white.”

“At least I haven’t questioned this treaty yet.” Jian Shenxiu said calmly. “I’m just going to redraw the boundary between the upper and lower suburbs and the CBD. Oh, and some of the illegal buildings on the fringe near Musicians Bridge.”

As he spoke, he turned his attention to the representative of the spider group.

“We also have plans to dismantle it as well.”

There are several important cargo warehouses for the spider group nearby.

As a result, the expression of the representative of the spider group immediately changed, also without thinking, the middle-aged man who claimed to be a teacher said directly.

“I’m just a teacher, but based on my understanding of the downtown area, I think some people in the downtown area may not be able to accept such a thing.”

“It’s okay, this is just a private banquet, and it’s not a negotiation.” Seeing that the middle-aged man was still trying to maintain the “teacher” persona, Jian Shenxiu’s mouth twitched slightly.

“I’m just chatting with you about these things,”

His attitude was extremely frank, as if he was really chatting casually at a banquet at the moment, instead of being in the dragon’s den and tiger’s lair surrounded by gangsters above.

“…”

This casual gesture undoubtedly touched the nerves of those gangsters who were already extremely sensitive as the conditions were raised. Some people in the field looked at Shenxiu with murderous intent in their eyes. The hall became quiet for a while, and with the silence of the hall, the sound of pouring rain outside gradually amplified. Looking outside the hall from the position of seeing the gods, you can still see the rain curtain at the open door, on the terrace outside. Dense raindrops splashed. In the rainy night, the neon lights of those high-rise buildings are also particularly dull, and the night market in Xuejianze looks gloomy and gloomy under the thick clouds.

Just like the atmosphere in the temple at the moment, there are luxurious screens behind the three sides of this quaintly decorated temple. Behind the screen is the space for the maids to walk around. Of course, it can also be used for hiding the figure of the gangster holding a dagger. Strong killing intent came from all directions and locked on Jian Shenxiu’s body. Jian Shenxiu has no doubt that some people in the shadows have already pressed their hands on the handle of the knife at their waist. Those gangsters are suppressed only because Asahina Hana, who is the head of the family, has not expressed her position yet. If she “throws the cup as a sign” at this moment, someone may rush up and try to hack him to death.

Even Markesias was aware of the atmosphere in the room, put his hands in his pockets, and looked around the shadows with vigilance. This young man was extremely sensitive to killing intent. Every pause in his gaze was a source of killing intent.

“…Why do you have to do this when you see Mr. God?”

However, at the moment when the aura of both sides was tense to the limit, a leisurely sigh suddenly sounded in the field.

“The two neighborhoods of Motomachi and Kotobuki are bustling areas for the upper and lower urban areas. There are tens of thousands of people living in these two neighborhoods. This is an unacceptable loss for both us and Ms. Yedu. You Do you have to mention such a condition that cannot be agreed by a flower name?”

Hana Asahina looked seriously at Jian Shenxiu’s eyes. She had the same red pupils as Jian Shenxiu. These eyes were sharp and murderous, but at this moment she looked at Jian Shenxiu with a sincere expression.

“We are really sincere. Do we have to let things go to this point?”

“Sincerity?” Jian Shenxiu also looked back at her, her eyes were very calm.

“What do you call sincerity? Right is right, wrong is wrong. Why do you think there is room for the word [sincerity] in between?”

“Boom—”

There was another thunderstorm outside, and the roaring thunder spread into the banquet space. Suddenly, a strong wind blew by, and the whistling wind brought rain into the hall, wet some places at the door, and the water surface reflected the water outside. Lightning, with a dazzling luster.

“…You really don’t lie. It’s a pity that I met you on this occasion.” Asahina Hana sighed faintly.

“I was standing next to you when I was in the hall downstairs.”

After she said this, the expressions of many people in the venue changed slightly, even the expressions of the people around Asahina Hana suddenly changed, and they looked at her in disbelief. Seeing Shenxiu was a little surprised by the reactions of these people. From this appearance, it seemed that the people around Asahina didn’t know that she had met Jian Shenxiu before.

He originally thought that the meeting in the hall was a long-planned arrangement by Hana Asahina, but he didn’t expect that it was really a sneaky move by the 17-year-old head of the family. For the underworld, this is really deviant. If it weren’t for her high status, I don’t know if this kind of private contact with the enemy would be treated as a traitor.

“I remember, down there I was carrying the plate. You asked me for orange juice, but when you reached for it, you got a glass of mango juice.”

As if telling a story, Asahina Hana said slowly in a light and slow tone.

“You will make mistakes, which shows that you are not a person who cannot make mistakes. But the reason why you took the wrong mango juice is that there are very few fruits in Xuejianze in recent years, and you don’t know it anymore. This is normal, this is The reason behind it.”

“There are many things that look wrong, but there may be other reasons behind them. If you take the wrong juice, it means that you are not omniscient in other issues, and you may make mistakes. Why don’t you try to contact Take a moment, step into it, and find out if there are any other stories behind it?”

The red-haired girl said sincerely. During the whole banquet, everyone else’s emotions fluctuated, but this girl’s attitude showed a kind of leeway from beginning to end. This surplus comes from the confidence brought by strong strength. The strong in ancient times paid attention to the collapse of Mount Tai without being surprised, and only those who can afford to make mistakes will show calmness to the changes of things.

“Many contradictions in this world are actually born from misunderstandings. Maybe after you understand them, you will have different views on the straight and the right.”

But the content of her words didn’t seem to be liked by some people in the field, and she could feel the eyes slowly shifting to them one after another while speaking. Compared with the white way, the underworld is more violent and direct, and they admire the strong. Tonight, Asahina Hana, as the speaker of Yukimizawa’s underworld, should have taken a tougher attitude.

Ye Du Yuya, who was next to him, looked at Asahina Hana with dissatisfaction, but tonight Asahina Hana was the one talking, and she couldn’t directly refute her words.

“…Since you told a story, let me tell you one too.” Jian Shenxiu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and also looked at Asahina Hana.

“The second day after the case happened, that is, in the early hours of yesterday. I went to restore the scene of the crime.” Jian Shenxiu said. “It happened that a little girl who strayed into the mist was rescued at the scene of the restoration crime.”

“The girl was only about eight or nine years old, and she kept crying after being rescued. I was very upset because I was still in a dangerous environment at the time, so I wanted to find a piece of candy for her. There was not a piece of candy found on the assistant’s body. The girl hadn’t eaten candy for a long time.”

“Why?” Jian Shenxiu looked at Asahina Hana seriously.

“Because the sugar industry is a heavily polluting industry, after Xue Jianze was closed, the amount of sugar production was reduced in order to protect the only natural resources. This caused the price of candies on the market to soar, and the price skyrocketed to several times the original price. Like that Ordinary families like girls can only guarantee their basic sugar intake through nutrient solutions, and they simply cannot afford these snacks, and even us investigators can’t always keep candy on them. Because the price is very expensive.”

“But in the banquet hall downstairs, the candies are nothing more than items placed everywhere, nothing more than low-end desserts. They are just consumables that are squandered at will.”

“…”

Hana Asahina was silent for a second.

“…Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those so-called haters of the rich, and this issue is not about private property.” Seeing Shenxiu smile, he quickly continued.

“The reason why I say this is simply because I have a list in my hand. There are 16,000 tons of sugar in that list. According to the population of Xuejian Ze, the sugar is enough for the entire Xuejian Ze for two years. But it’s a pity that all those supplies are ‘missing’.”

“It’s hard for me not to think, if those materials were still there, would Xue Jianze’s situation be better now.” Jian Shenxiu stared into Asahina Hana’s eyes.

“It’s hard for me not to think, if these materials are exchanged for banknotes, what kind of amazing wealth can be gathered in the chaotic era when Xue Jianze’s materials are the poorest.”

“…I don’t know much about finance, can you please help me with some confusion?” Jian Shenxiu asked softly.

“In the era of chaos, how much wealth can be gathered with hundreds of thousands of tons of materials? Can anyone tell me a number?”

“…”

Of course no one will answer this question, but in fact all the answers are already in front of them.

This shrine, this Asahina Hotel, the power and law and order power of the entire upper city, plus the Tsukiyomi group in the lower city, the spider group in the fringe area, and countless so-called “celebrities” including many high-ranking Navi officials.

It was those astonishing wealth that created Xue Jianze’s huge polar empire, let them walk into the sun, and even took away the security power of two blocks from the city hall openly.

“I am indeed not omniscient, nor do I know what may be behind those things.”

Jian Shenxiu said calmly.

“But the so-called [right and wrong], the word [right and wrong], after all, is placed before [right and wrong]. Isn’t it?”

“…”

There was dead silence on one side, and it seemed that even the sound of the rain outside had gradually diminished, and it was so quiet that no echo could be heard.

“Do you have to choose this way?”

Hana Asahina was silent for a while, then raised her hand, and slightly brushed her hair at the temples.

“Sometimes it’s actually not necessary to be so stubborn. Your choice will affect many things, and the fate of many people may be changed because of this choice. Even so, is it completely indifferent?”

This is a question that Shenxiu avoided in the hall before, but this time she brought it up again. When she was speaking, she insisted on looking straight into Shenxiu’s eyes, as if she was looking for something in those eyes. Answer.

If you really want to tear your face apart, many people will die because of it, even if it doesn’t matter?

“…”

It was rare to see Shenxiu was silent for a moment.

This was the only time the Chief Inspector hesitated at the banquet tonight.

“I remember that before you asked this question, I gave you an answer to another question.”

But in the end he still gave an answer, seeing that Shenxiu raised his eyes and looked directly at Asahina Hana, his eyes were clear and without any waves.

“That answer can also be used to answer this question.”

that answer?

Asahina Hana was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Jian Shenxiu was talking about.

[… They are all criminals in my eyes. I haven’t caught them yet, I just sat in a row and haven’t gotten them yet… Sooner or later, I will give them all the ending they deserve. ]

——This is the attitude of seeing the gods.

It turned out that he had already answered this question. Asahina was stunned. Seeing that Shenxiu was not avoiding this question at the time, he just felt that he had already answered it, and the rest was nonsense.

“That’s it…”

Hana Asahina sighed softly.

“I understand the name of the flower, so I won’t say much. Let’s eat first. There are still a few guests at this banquet. You might as well meet Mr. God for a while. Maybe you will change your mind in the end. No matter what time it is, We always welcome Mr. Jianshen into our circle at any time.”

It can be seen that she really showed enough sincerity, until the end her words still left room for change.

“Today is Hua Ming’s private banquet. Until the end of the banquet, Hua Ming will be responsible for Mr. Jianshen’s safety.”

Other guests…

Seeing that Shenxiu lowered his brows and eyes, he knew that this was the final behind-the-scenes.

Are those who hide in the shadows finally ready to step onto the stage?

No one would think that this matter was only done by these three gangsters. Four years ago, such an astonishing case in the harbor had such a clean hand, and even all the internal files of the Navi government were cleared, so that there was no trace of the status of the chief inspector of the spiritual cultivator. It is absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing by relying on the power of the underworld alone.

There must be someone standing behind them, maybe even a very high-level executive of Navi. It is not difficult to think that the case in Haigang is related to the three underworld. But what is really frightening is the invisible shadow behind these three families.

It wasn’t until Jian Shenxiu stubbornly pierced through that layer of fog that he finally forced these people to the front of the stage.

“…Miss Asahina.”

After the silence, a middle-aged man walked into the hall through the side door. He was wearing a white coat that was incompatible with everyone in the field. After entering the door, he acted as if he hadn’t seen Shenxiu. He said hello to Asahina Hana, then sat in an empty seat, and began to eat without saying a word. Looking at something on the table.

However, Shenxiu knew him—the head of the Fanxing Pharmaceutical Division. Fanxing Pharmaceutical, where he works, is the largest pharmaceutical and biological company in Xuejianze. Over the years, there have been a large number of talents, and its reputation in Xuejianze is impeccable. It is the most eye-catching company in the entire northern high-tech zone of Xuejianze. In a sense, they even represent the entire Xuejianze technology board, and even the Navi government has cooperated with them a lot.

From the beginning to the end, the man didn’t say another word. After entering the door, he just sat in front of the table in silence and began to eat. But there is no need for any words, his presence here already represents the attitude of Fanxing Pharmaceutical.

Regarding the appearance of this man, Jian Shenxiu just gave him a cold look. Did not make any statement.

“Ah, it looks like there are quite a lot of people.”

After more than ten minutes, a man in the clothes of a prosecutor walked in the door. He seemed to have just finished working overtime, and when he entered the hall, he kept rubbing his hands to keep warm, and smiled at Hana Asahina, who was above him, as he entered the door.

“It’s so happy to have a big meal just after working overtime! Thank you, Ms. Asahina, for the invitation. Ms. Yedu is here too. Well, it’s really lively.”

“Thank you for your hard work.” Hua Ming smiled. “Tonight’s food is prepared by the head chef at home, and Mr. Okino is also invited to evaluate it.”

“Haha, then I’ll be disrespectful.” The male prosecutor laughed and found a table to sit down. A maid came up to serve him a meal. He didn’t seem to see Shenxiu at all. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t even move his eyes in the direction of Shenxiu.

Prosecutor Okami Satoru. The third person in the Procuratorate, the right-hand man of the chief prosecutor.

“…”

Seeing that the man was silent for a moment when he saw Shenxiu, although he had already planned many possibilities in his heart before coming, even if it was the worst plan, he never thought that even the procuratorate would get a share of it .

It was a weird feeling, you can’t even describe it with sadness or other words. Seeing Shenxiu at this moment only has a strong sense of absurdity in his psychology. It’s like watching a funny mime.

He looked at the last table, and at this moment he already knew who that table was for, and he could even guess who would be sent over from that side.

“Wow…”

Suddenly, there was the sound of rain falling on the ground at the door. It was the sound of water droplets falling when the umbrella was closed. It was raining outside and everyone came in through the side door, even Hana Asahina, who was the master, was no exception. This person was the only one who came in from the main entrance. When walking in front of the main hall, he swung his umbrella at the entrance and splashed water all over the floor.

It was a very young man, only in his twenties, with his suit straightened, his hair neatly arranged, and his eyes looking extraordinarily gentle. Compared with everyone in the field, he looked very ordinary, with no momentum or aura, just like an ordinary student who just graduated from university and is still in the internship period.

“Secretary Fujiwara.” However, this was the only one among the few people who asked Hana Asahina, who was the host, to take the initiative to greet her.

“Come in and sit down.”

“No.” However, the young man just shook his head. “I heard that there is a banquet here, and the speaker asked me to come and take a look. I won’t sit down.”

He just had a homely tone, stood at the door and didn’t go in, even the rain was blowing slowly on his body outside, he didn’t care.

“The speaker asked me to give some advice. It’s okay to have a banquet, but be careful with the candles. A few days ago, there was a place in the upper city that burned down the building because of the banquet, and even the fire trucks were dispatched. The banquet is a happy thing. It’s not good when you grow up.”

“Understood.” Asahina Hana chuckled. “Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Hua Ming will pay attention.”

“I’m leaving.”

Then the young man bowed gently to everyone in the hall, and then turned his head to look at Jian Shenxiu.

“Is the Chief Inspector of Jianshen here? If the Chief Inspector has finished eating, can I ask the Chief Inspector for help?” The young man smiled slightly at Jianshenxiu with a slight smile.

“I came here by bicycle, and it was too hard to ride back in the heavy rain today. Why don’t you show kindness to the Chief Investigator, give me a ride along the way, and take me back to the Venus Tower? It’s getting late, what’s the matter?” We can talk about it later. We are friends after having dinner together. We can discuss anything in the future.”

“…”

Do you mean to let him calm down?

Seeing Shenxiu looking at him, and then at the cloudy rain curtain behind him, he tilted his head slightly.

From his point of view, the young man smiled kindly and treated him with respect, and sincerely stretched out his hand to him begging him to take him for a ride. Under the lighting of the lights, it seemed to render Phnom Penh. But behind him were black clouds and pouring rain. The wind rolled up and the rain whizzed, and the night was dark, thick like a piece of ink that could not be melted away.

So this is ah.

Xue Jianze’s Baidao, the separation of powers among the parliament, the procuratorate, and the search bureau. Yukimizawa’s underworld, the Asahi group, the Tsukiyomi group, and the spider group, three teams compete. As for the business aspect, Fanxing Pharmaceutical is the only one out there.

Coincidentally, at the banquet tonight, these people arrived neatly.

Except that the Search Bureau is an organization that was born and established after the Evernight incident to fight against the weirdness in the fog. The parliament, the procuratorate, Asahi, Yueyue… Everyone sitting here was a giant before the eternal night came.

These people add up to almost the entire Xue Jianze.

No wonder, no wonder no one dared to investigate the case in the harbor four years ago. No wonder the hands and feet of that case can be wiped so clean, even the inside of Navi City Hall can’t find any information.

Just like the Asahina Hotel is considered a gathering place for “celebrities”, Jian Shenxiu has been in office for more than three years, and this is the first time Jian Shenxiu has stepped into the door of this hotel. And on this day, those “superior people” walked up to him and extended an invitation to him.

[Send kindness and give me a ride along the way]

If you agree to this request… this matter will be over soon, right? Afterwards, he would still be invited by the Asahina Grand Hotel from time to time. Every time there was a dinner invitation, he would be sent to his table immediately. These people would invite him to give a speech in the banquet hall, and everyone would come up to toast him .

Looking at that hand, Jian Shenxiu seemed to be able to see those scenes already.

Then he suddenly smiled, a bright smile, and the assistant behind him, Markesias, was stunned for a few seconds, even she rarely saw Shenxiu showing such a smile.

“Since you’re here at the Asahina Grand Hotel, let the owner do the favor. Miss Asahina has such a fortune, so she probably doesn’t need a driver. I’m afraid my car won’t be so comfortable.”

Then he turned to look at Hana Asahina.

“I still have the same condition, Motomachi and Kotobuki are allocated to the central business district.”

The chief inspector stuttered every word.

“Not one building can be missing.”

…

The rain stopped.

See Shenxiu get up and leave the table.
