In Kyoto in January, the wind is not strong, and the pine trees in the garden are still green, but the president of the Furen Society, Kujo Harumomi, is already too cold to stand it. He regretted www.biquge.info that he shouldn't have impulsively come to Kyoto to relax, how warm it was to stay in a villa in Tokyo. Although the old houses in Kyoto have a leisurely charm that has won his heart, the comfort of living is still not as comfortable as that of modern cities.

It may also be that he has become more afraid of the cold as he gets older. Thinking of this, Kujou Harumi frowned deeply. His eyebrows have been wrinkled for many years, and he has developed a well-developed muscle, which makes him look even more majestic and strange.

He knelt at the table, staring at a small picture frame on the table. The woman in the photo is very young, with bright eyes and a delicate smile, revealing a pair of little tiger teeth full of childishness.

"Today, you have to be good too. Kujou Harumi held the frame and whispered to the photo. His countenance was stern and intimidating, but the tone in which he said this was extremely pampering and warm.

He put down the photo and stood up. Then, he gathered the gray haori on the outside of his kimono, and then shouted out the door, "Tanaka!"

The housekeeper Yuichiro Tanaka opened the door and replied respectfully, "President." ”

"Is Kirihara back?"

"I'll be back in the morning, and seeing that you haven't gotten up yet, I'll let him wait outside." ”

When Kujo Harumi heard that Kirihara had returned, he immediately said happily, "Hurry up and call him in, it's so cold." He thought for a moment, and then added, "Go and see if Miss is up, and if she does, ask her to come to me." ”

Yuichiro Tanaka bowed deeply and closed the door again.

"President!" Kirihara soon came in. It was a tall and thin young man, his face was very tired, but there was excitement in his eyes, as if he had something excellent to report to Kujo Harumi.

"Are you sure it's the Seven Colored Pearls?" asked Kujo Harunomi as he stepped forward.

Kirihara nodded heavily, he took out his phone and handed it over. Kujou Harumi took out his reading glasses and put them on, and he took a closer look, and the amber in the photo was taken in two environments, under normal light and low light, and it was gold, red, and purple in normal light. When the phone's flash is turned off, in a dimly lit environment, the amber has a faint jet black glow.

"These are only four colors. Kujou Harumi immediately frowned, "Are you mistaken?"

Kirihara replied firmly: "You can't be wrong, this jewelry exhibition in Beijing is full of fine products. On the first day of the exhibition, my subordinates were delayed and did not go. According to people who visited on the first day, some of the exhibits were not arranged in the exhibition hall in time because of the late delivery of logistics that morning, and it was the peak period of admission, so they had to be temporarily placed outside the exhibition hall, including the piece of amber. At that time, many people saw that the piece of amber showed three colors in the sunlight: blue, green, and gray. ”

"It's really the Seven-Colored ......," Kujou Harumi muttered to himself, "Twelve years." His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, "I thought the people of Hanover were dead." ”

He suddenly craned his neck and laughed, and the crazy laughter was tinged with vicious poignancy and endless hatred.

Kirihara lowered his head and silently waited for Kujou Harumi to give orders.

"Is this the only one?" Kujou Harumi took off his glasses and slowly calmed down. He stared at Kirihara, speaking extremely slowly, but every word was like a poisoned arrow ready to be fired, with an aura of urgency.

"My subordinates asked the organizer of the exhibition, and they said that they would only borrow one piece for exhibition. ”

"How long does the exhibition last?"

"Two weeks. ”

Kujou Harutomi's expression was gloomy, "For so long, you haven't managed to get the seven-colored amber?"

Kirihara immediately fell to the ground, "The subordinates are incompetent!" He heard the anger in Kujo Harumi's words. Due to the high security of the jewelry fair, he could not steal it, let alone rob it. And these are things that can't be complained about to Kujo Haruki, in any case, in the eyes of the president, it's because he doesn't do things well.

Kirito originally thought that Kujo Harumi would be furious, but the latter folded his arms and was stunned for a while, as if he was absent-minded.

"Strange, it stands to reason that the people of Hanover should not dare to take out the seven-colored pearl to show off. Kujou Harumi slowly walked to a wide screen and stared at the Chinese characters on the screen: "Those who are not benevolent and win the country will have it, and those who are not benevolent and have won the world will not have it." ”

He stomped his foot lightly again, and the white footbag stood out.

"Are there any suspicious people at the jewelry show?"

"The subordinates did not find any suspicious people. As for the owner of the seven-colored amber, he did not attend the jewelry show at all. ”

Kujou Harumi took a few more steps along the screen, "So, the people from Hanover are not in Beijing?"

Kirihara shook his head, "Not sure. The man seemed to be traveling in China, and his subordinates found out that he had been in Hong Kong and had gone to Beijing, and when his subordinates arrived in Beijing, he seemed to have gone to Suzhou again. ”

"Where's the name?"

"Ernest-August, everyone else calls him Wan Guohou, or Hou Ye. ”

Kujou Harumi sneered: "The tone is not small. ”

Kirihara whispered: "Some people say that it is because he is so rich that he can buy thousands of small countries, so he is called 'Marquis of All Nations'." ”

Kujou Haruki glanced at Kirihara in surprise, "Is he British?"

"Yes, but according to the organizers of the jewelry show, his Chinese is very good and he is a China expert. ”

Kujou Qingchen sneered: "Good Chinese is a Chinese pass? Then there are too many China passes under my hands." He played with Kirihara's phone, "Since you can't get the seven-colored amber, why don't you just buy it?"

Kirihara looked at Kujou Haruki with an apologetic expression, and looked at Kujou Haruki with some fear: "My subordinates have asked, he lent it to the organizer for exhibition, and he will not sell it." ”

Kujo Harumi laughed again, "The so-called not selling is just that your offer is not high enough." He raised his chin arrogantly, "In this world, there is nothing that cannot be sold." ”

Kirihara was a little cramped, he didn't dare to refute Kujo Harumi, just knelt on the ground, silently lowered his head, and hung his hands.

Kujou Harumi looked at the silent Kirihara and asked again, "What's your offer?"

"Three hundred thousand grams. He added, "Renminbi." ”

At this time, even Kujou Haruki was a little surprised, "At this price, it's not for sale?" He frowned again, "Could it be that this Englishman is really as rich as the legend?"

Kirihara shook his head: "I don't know, he is very low-key, his subordinates have asked some people in the jewelry circle, and they all said that they have never heard of him." ”

"What does he invest in?"

"It's miscellaneous, there are spas, airlines, flower industry, etc. Kirihara looked up at Kujou Harumi's face and said cautiously, "According to his subordinates, will he inherit the inheritance?"

Kujou Harumi flatly denied: "Impossible! The people of Hanover are already lost dogs, unless they ......" His face changed, "Unless ......"

Kirihara lowered his head again, and he thought silently in his heart: "Unless this guy finds the Amber Palace left by his ancestors." But he didn't dare to say it, he stole a glance at Kujou Harutomi's uncertain face, and had a premonition that he might be unlucky.

But Kujou Harumi didn't lose his temper, he frowned, bit his lower lip, and paced back and forth in the room, his nasolabial folds deeply sunken, his expression like a trapped beast.

"What else do you want to know?"

"He is not very old, he should be between thirty and thirty-five years old. He is not sociable, and he has not found any close friends. ”

"It's like a person who has no desires. Kujou Harumi sneered.

"It's human beings who have desires, how can they have no desires?" Kirihara blurted out, and then realized that he was a little arrogant, and couldn't help but panic.

Fortunately, Kujou Harunomi was shaking his head, thinking about something, and didn't notice his words.

Kirihara secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're right, people have desires. Kujou Harumi said slowly.

Kirihara was startled, he didn't understand what Kujo Harumi meant, so he had to snort and say, "You mean ......"

"To find out his desires and discover his weaknesses. It won't be long before he takes us to the Amber Palace. Kujou Harumi stopped shaking, his eyes glinting, like a panther lurking in the darkness of the night.

"The subordinates set off immediately. ”

"Wait. Kujo Harumi said, "I don't need you to go this time. You've already been to a jewelry show, and maybe he's in the shadows, watching you make an offer. ”

Kirihara didn't dare to come out, and for some reason, he felt extremely nervous. After all, the Buren Society has not made a big move for many years.

"You've worked hard all the way, go and get some rest. Step aside. ”

"Yes. ”

Kujo Harumi returned the phone to Kirihara, who respectfully exited the room.

"Tanaka!" After Kirihara left, Kujou Harumi hurriedly shouted again.

"President. ”

"Go and contact Kato, and tell the boy to go to China at once, and look for an Englishman named Ernest-August. This person may have apartments in Beijing, Suzhou, or Hong Kong, and in any case try to get close to him, no matter what method is used. As soon as you settle down, report back immediately. ”

Yuichiro Tanaka agreed, and then he said with a little doubt: "President, why don't you let Kirihara go?" His Chinese is not lost to Kato at all, and his kung fu is also very solid. ”

Kujou Harunomi didn't answer, but asked a question: "If you are not familiar with the two of them, who do you think seems smarter?"

Yuichiro Tanaka was stunned: "Probably Kirihara." ”

"And who do you think seems more obedient?"

"It's Kirihara too. ”

Kujou Harumi smiled wryly: "That's why you want to send Kato." He shook his sleeves, "If I hadn't overestimated that Hanoverian guy, he would have been wary of a guy like Kirihara." ”

Yuichiro Tanaka nodded convincingly: "The president is really a good player." ”

Kujou Harumi ignored Yuichiro Tanaka's compliment, "Hasn't she gotten up yet?" he frowned, "It's past nine o'clock!"

Yuichiro Tanaka hurriedly said, "I've gotten up and is soaking in the hot springs." ”

Kujou Harumi's face sank: "Get up, why don't you come to me?"

Yuichiro Tanaka saw that Kujo Haruki was a little angry, so he quickly bowed down and explained, "It seems to be ...... Some headaches. ”

Kujou Harumi said impatiently, "I won't die again!

Soon, a woman quietly appeared in front of Kujo Harumi.

She wore lotus lotus sleeves covered with light pink twists, the cuffs and the hem of the kimono were embroidered with various shades of purple flowers, and a black bag belt with small flowers printed and dyed was tied around her chest. She was gorgeously dressed, but with a humble demeanor, and as soon as she entered, she fell to her knees, her head hung deeply, revealing only a part of her neck.

"You're against me again. Kujou Harumi grimaced.

"I'm sorry. The woman immediately apologized, but Kujou Harumi couldn't hear the slightest apology.

He sighed, wanting to get angry, but somehow held back again. "Maybe I'm really getting old, and even my temper has gotten better. Kujou Harumi thought to himself.

"I called you here because there is something. His tone softened a little.

The woman still didn't look up, but her hands were subconsciously clenched into fists.

"Someone from Hanover was found. ”

The woman let go of her fist, "So ......"

"It's your turn. ”

"Yes. ”

Kujou Harumi looked at the silent woman in front of him who was still bowing his head and was silent, and couldn't help but feel a burst of desolation: everyone was afraid of him, everyone hated him, even if he released kindness, no one would believe it.

He walked over to the cabinet by the wall, pulled open the drawer, and took out a rectangular box, then he lifted the lid and took out the contents.

It was a platinum necklace encrusted with diamonds, with a large, triangular Paraiba tourmaline set in the center of the pendant. Its bright electric blue is as gorgeous as neon, and its clear and transparent texture is even more sparkling and transparent.

Kujo Harumi walked up to the woman and slowly tied the necklace around the woman's neck, but the woman kept her head meekly down, as if she was overwhelmed.

"This is the engagement gift I gave to Yuki-e back then. Kujou Harumi slowed down his speech, and a rare guilt appeared on his face, "Now, here you go, take good care of it." ”

"Yes. Thank you very much. The woman's tone could not hear joy or sorrow.

"I've let Kato take the lead, and if he's efficient enough, he might not even need you. Kujo Harukitomi's mood changed extremely quickly, and the gentle eyes just now had disappeared in an instant. "But you're still going to China. ”

"Yes. ”

Kujou Harumi also seemed bored with this kind of conversation, and he waved his hand, "You go down." ”

The woman respectfully withdrew.

"Tanaka!"

Yuichiro Tanaka appeared outside the door almost immediately, "President." ”

"You go and arrange a few people, you want to face to face, and you want to keep an eye on Kato and her. Kujou Haruki squinted, "Be careful. ”

Yuichiro Tanaka nodded deeply.

Kujo Harumi slowly walked out of the room, and he walked leisurely along the path in the courtyard. Maybe because of his better mood, he didn't even feel cold.

He walked through the courtyard on clogs to a pool of water. It was cold, and there was not a single fish in sight in the pool. He stared at the water, as if staring at an old man who had been reunited after a long absence, but his gaze was bottomless: "What you have is nothing but everything you have paid." ”
