Huge, spacious and bright production workshop, several production lines run through the entire plant, each production line is running nervously, each production line is sitting on hundreds of uniform tooling, busy workers, in accordance with their own production process for their own busy production. It's like a busy, never-ending worker ant.

Standing on the management platform here, 400,000 Takuro proudly and proudly introduced to Du Ping and Miyako, "This is the most advanced production workshop in the whole of Dongzhou, and it can even be said to be the most advanced in the world. The design of the park, the factory, the apartment, and the canteen are all designed by the world's most advanced design firms. The production process and production process are the world's advanced and standard. It is the world's most advanced, most efficient and scientific industrial park and operation mode. The industrial park provides free, scientific and nutritious staff meals for all employees, as well as free bathhouses and basic medical care. It is the best, most advanced, most scientific, and best employee welfare industrial park in the country, but it is ......"

The voice of the 400,000 Takuro suddenly stopped, and he didn't speak again. Du Pingping knew in his heart that the "but" here of 400,000 Tuolang referred to the continuous suicides of employees in recent years, which had brought gloom to this modern assembly line room that was enough to make Dongliuqiu people proud.

None of them spoke, each thinking about his own question. Miyako is still diligent in her fieldwork work. At this time, a bell rang suddenly in the giant factory room, and then all the employees stood up at the same time, left their seats at the same time, and walked to the rest area at the same time. The whole scene is neat, ghostly, without a trace of alternative sounds, as if everyone is sleepwalking in a movie picture collectively.

"What's wrong? It's only 10 a.m., right?"

Four hundred thousand Takuro shook his head and explained, "No, it's time for a break." For 15 minutes, employees can use this time to go to the toilet, drink water, and rest. This is scientifically calculated human work and rest time. In order to ensure the health of each employee, according to the statistics of human fatigue intensity, scientists calculate the most scientific rest and rest time. Sir, do you see if there is a neat and orderly beauty? ”

Many people and many fields throughout the Dongliuqiu Kingdom like to pursue a sense of order, as if the whole world is infected with a disease called obsessive-compulsive syndrome. It doesn't seem to be something incomprehensible that this is happening here.

400,000 Takuro continued, "...... Enterprises in Tang, Puguo, Luo, Hua, Li, Ruan and other countries will send their own management teams here every year to study. It's a pity ......"

The Kuroda Electronic Industrial Park is scientific and advanced, and the overall visit has given Du Ping a great touch. The meal between Du Ping and Miyako is held in the staff cafeteria here. Employees sent a neat long line, one by one, to receive their food, and then ate in silence.

"This is the largest staff canteen in the industrial park, and there are four more such staff canteens, all of which are managed by a unified food company, providing dozens of kinds of food for employees to eat every day. And it's completely free!"

Takuro 400,000 said hello to the manager here, and led Du Ping and Miyako to a small dining area that was separated from each other. There are no employees of the industrial park to dine here, they are all outsiders. It's easy to identify people here with people from outside, because people here are dressed in uniform and wearing uniform hats. If it weren't for the different faces, body shapes, and genders, they would all be like one person, and they would rarely talk or communicate with each other during meals. And people outside, some wear suits, some wear work clothes, and there will be whispered exchanges during the meal.

Soon, a waiter brought several fast food plates.

400,000 Takuro, "I asked someone to bring a few sets of standard staff meals, which are exactly the same as those eaten by the employees here. Please don't mind Mr. Totofair and Ms. Miyako Kazama. ”

Four hundred thousand Takuro spoke with a strong sense of pride. And the actual situation is exactly the same as 400,000 said, the staff meal here is very good.

…………………………

In the office of Mayor Yoshihiro Ogata, the staff member who belongs to him is also reporting the same information as Tetsuji Tanaka, and this staff member is also particular about his own personal opinions.

Clerk, "Mayor Town, is this high school detective reliable? Isn't he a rich young master who can only play?"

Mayor Ogata shook his head excitedly, "No! this is a real detective. He's been the subject of a few unbelievable mysteries!"

The clerk didn't believe it, "That's just a trick used by the rich to hype up their reputation! Do you really believe that those events are real?"

Mayor Ogata shook his head, "I've inquired, and those incidents are true. And he's not what you call a rich man, he's just an ordinary family like us. Although his father was a middle manager in the company, he was not much better than us. ”

The staff member was obviously a relatively close and capable person under Yoshihiro Ogata, and he was free to think and speak, "Mayor Town, you don't think he can really detect this serial suicide incident, right? There are several batches of famous criminal investigation experts in the country, and we have also seen several batches of Kuroda Group's own criminal investigation experts. None of them came to fruition, and you wouldn't believe that a kid under twenty could do this, would you?"

Mayor Ogata sternly corrected, "Don't underestimate children! Many great people in history were children. If this Du Pingping is still investigating cases like those police officers and detectives in the past, to be honest, I don't have confidence anymore. But he did this kind of investigation, and I believe that he will be able to solve the incident. ”

The staff member tried to say something, but was immediately stopped by Yoshihiro Ogata.

Yoshihiro Ogata looked at the employee with blazing eyes, "Do you think that the Kuroda Group is a company that is universal? Do you think that the people selected by the Kuroda Group will not have his special and excellent abilities? Do you think that the people selected by the Kuroda Group will not think and work hard?"

The clerk shook his head, shook his head, shook his head.

Yoshihiro Ogata excitedly encouraged with his highly agitative voice, "So, if he actually carried out such an act, it is unless he is crazy! Either he has his own full confidence and perfect ideas for solving the case! So what we are doing now should not be suspicious, but also prepare for a counterattack! We will hold several large-scale events again and continue to publicize our political ideas! We must tell everyone that only our political ideas are the correct way to truly resurrect and save Laidao!"

The clerk was embarrassed, "Mayor Mare! You know, because of the Kuroda Industrial Park incident, the news of the removal of the Kuroda Industrial Park, and the cursed rhetoric of the gods advocated by our opponents. The people who supported us in the past have reduced or refused to make any more funding, so we are running out of money!"

Yoshihiro Ogata, "How many more?"

The clerk said a number, and Ogata thought for a moment, and once again made a decision with a blazing eye, "Take them all! We're going to have a big party, we're going to call out our supporters, we're going to boost their morale! We're going to win this election again!"

The clerk hesitated, "If the cause of the incident is not found out this time, we may be finished!"

Yoshihiro Ogata was full of confidence, "We will not be finished! We will win!"

Yoshihiro Ogata patted his obviously unconfident subordinates in front of him, "I don't remember last time, no one thought we would win, but we won!

…………………………

In the afternoon, Du Ping and Miyako followed Takuro 400,000 to visit the suicide survivor in the hospital's intensive care unit. is a female employee in her 20s, and although she is not beautiful, she is not ugly either. He also speaks very cheerfully, and does not have the melancholy temperament that is common to suicidal people.

"Miss Ai Maeda, you really don't remember why you committed suicide at that time?"

Suicide Ai Maeda, "Yes. I remember the whole process of suicide clearly, it was indeed my personal behavior, and no one, language, or anything affected me. But suddenly, the person was so desperate that he involuntarily ran to the roof of the building and jumped off. ”

"Ai Maeda, was there anything special that happened that day or those days?"

Ai Maeda, "I know what Mr. Du Pingping is going to ask, and I have also been interrogated by police and detectives before. I didn't fall out of love, I was trained, I was dealt with, and nothing special happened. I am deeply sorry for the tremendous impact my personal actions have had on the company, leaders and colleagues!"

Ai Maeda sat on the bed and bowed deeply to everyone for a long time before she raised her head.

Ai Maeda sincerely, "Really, I'm so sorry!"

…………………………

As Toto, and Miyako walked out of the ward, an old local woman suddenly grabbed To's hand.

Old woman, "This is the temptation of the devil! The curse of the gods! Young man, believe me......"

The old woman has gray and dirty hair, black and yellow teeth, dirty and rancid clothes, and an old and youthful voice...... , like an old witch who came out of some ghost story. In this way, he grabbed Du Pingping's arm with that dark, withered, and powerful hand at once. It brought Du Ping fright and hesitation. Soon, 400,000 Takuro hurriedly came with several hospital security guards, and then drove the old woman away.

"This is a local madwoman whose husband and son died in an accident a few years ago. After that, it was said all day that there were demons. Since the accident began in the park, he wandered around the hospital all day long, and when he saw people, he said that there was a demon. Mr. Du Pingping will not believe the words of such a crazy woman, right?"

Du Ping nodded and didn't say anything. When I left the hospital, I found that in a corner outside the hospital, on a wall, dozens of photos were pasted all over the wall, and countless flowers, candles, red threads, yellow charms, etc. were all over the neighborhood.

The 400,000 Tuolang seemed to want to stop it, but Du Ping had already walked over.

400,000 Takuro reluctantly explained, "This kind of sacrifice is not allowed in the park." So they put these photos of people who committed suicide by falling from the building in the industrial park here. Mr. Du Pingping......"

Du Pingping walked over silently, only to see that the photos on the wall were not regularly pasted, but each photo was marked with the person's name, age, and place of birth.

Takuro Hiroshi went on to explain, "It's the stuff of some of the townspeople in the town. They believe that it was the industrial park that angered the gods and brought a curse, which led to the suicides one after another. They used to rally and protest at the entrance of the industrial park several times, but after being banned by the court, they changed to activities here. ”

…………………………

When Tohiro and Miyako returned to the hotel, Tetsuji Tanaka, the general manager of the park, and Yoshihiro Ogata, the mayor of the town, came to pay a visit. Tetsuji Tanaka basically thought that Du Ping was just here to make soy sauce and it was impossible to detect this incident, so he was not highly motivated. thinks that Du Ping is just a guy who walks around and brushes his resume here, so it's just an official visit. Then he borrows something and disappears.

Mayor Ogata has been much more active, bringing not only local specialties but also local promotional images. Using his rich feelings and appeal, he told Du Ping and Miyako about the original backwardness of the local area, the current economic development, as well as his future policy outline and the future development expectations of the town. In a word, I hope that Du Ping can solve this matter satisfactorily, and the present and future of the town are inseparable from the industrial park.

In the end, the mayor's words may have been unconscious, insane, obsessed, and crazy. If it weren't for the fact that Mimiko next to Du Pingping was too beautiful and moving, and the relationship with Du Pingping was revealed to be a lover in the middle. He has the intention of leaving his beautiful female secret to Du Pingping.

Finally sent the mayor away, and another down-and-out middle-aged man came to Du Pingping's room with a hundred times more spirit and asked to pay a visit. Although no one introduced him, Du still knew that he was Mayor Ogata's biggest competitor for re-election as mayor, and he was from Wakamatsu Takeshi among the fishermen in the town. The policy agenda is to restore tradition and become self-reliant. In short, it is to drive out the Kuroda Industrial Park and other careerists and businesses who are ready to destroy this quiet land of Koh Le. As for how the island of Li developed after the outsiders were driven out, he did not give any explanation. It may be thought that without these outsiders, the local residents of Loei have lived happily and peacefully for hundreds or thousands of years. So there is no need to think about the life events of eating and drinking there at all. Where there is the sea, there is food, where there is the sea, there is money, where there is the sea, there is everything.

Du Pingping decided to refuse the visit of the prospective mayor politician. Because if you don't stop, maybe after Wakamatsu, what Wakamatsu II and other inexplicable cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will jump out one by one. Given a huge appointment of 400,000 Takuro to refuse any visit, Du Ping closed the door. It was completely calm.

Miyako, "Husband-sama, do you have some clue these days? ”

"No! It's too early." And I believe in the ability and responsibility of Lord Black Day, and if he had personally come to investigate, then I believe in his findings. ”

Miyako, "Is that husband ready to give up?"

"It's not my style to give up, I'll do my best." But now that I'm going to go out for a walk and experience the local customs for myself, is Madame interested?"

Miyako, "Of course, it's the husband who sings with the wife." ”

…………………………

At night, in the brightly lit night city of the town, there is a small restaurant with the words "Flower no Sato". Du Fair and Miyako opened the curtain and walked in. The landlady in a kimono hurriedly stood at the bar to welcome her.

Boss, "Welcome!"

A traditional restaurant in the eastern part of the country usually serves very simple local food. In a huge U-shaped table like a bar, the owner and chef stand in the middle, providing a variety of services to customers who order food around them. At this time, there were already three people in the restaurant who were eating food and drinking hot sake. Du Pingping and Miyako found two empty seats and sat down.

The hostess, "Guest, not a local, right?"

Miyako, "Yes, is it so obvious?"

"Can't it be the people in the industrial park? I heard that there are nearly 40,000 people working in the industrial park." ”

Lady boss, "People in the industrial park generally don't come out to eat. People only come out on holidays, but they are usually places that young people like to go to, such as custom shops and bars, and rarely come to small local restaurants like ours. ”

An old man who had already drunk his nose was red, "The guys in the industrial park heard that they all have free food, how can they spend money on consumption." ”

Another middle-aged man in a neat old body, "It's not right for you to say that! Actually, I heard that it is because of strict internal management and fear of accidents, so it is usually strictly forbidden to come out." It's just that this is an unspoken plan, and everyone knows it, but there are no explicit regulations. ”

The third person, "Anyway, I heard that after the New Year, I am going to change places, what do I mean by saying them!"

The proprietress listened to the conversation very kindly, and in the middle of it got up herself to fill the wine glass of the old man with a red nose.

The proprietress said, "The people in the industrial park really have little to do with the business of the small shop! ”

Middle-aged man, "That's because the proprietress snacks are delicious in the world!"

The third person, "I'm because the boss lady is beautiful and has a very, very good personality!"

Hostess, "Don't be joking, guests! I am very grateful to everyone, so I will work hard and serve so hard!"

Miyako, "Do you recommend two specialty side dishes to us?"

Middle-aged man, "Chazuke, young man, trust me! The proprietress has a unique sauce and the freshest sashimi of sea fish, which is a delicacy that cannot be tasted anywhere else." ”

The old man, "I think the hostess's homemade sake is the real signature!" Drinking a camellia aroma, leading people to be fascinated by the beauty, innocence, and cleanliness of the camellia. ”

Miyako, "In that case, please ask the proprietress to have two chazuke and a pot of sake!"

The hostess, "If the guests have eaten, I suggest a cup of tea, a potato salad, and a pot of sake?

Miyako, "Thank you so much! I've always been like this, I always want to eat more when I see food." And the situation that you will regret every time you eat it. It's a shame to say!"

The proprietress said, "Actually, I'm the same, I chose to do the business of a small restaurant because of the deliciousness, but I didn't expect it to be welcomed by many people." ”

……

In such a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, Du Ping here and the diners here are slowly getting drunk. In the end, it was the proprietress who helped Miyako walk out of the small restaurant. The restaurant Miyako had already recruited the hotel car to pick them up, and after thanking the proprietress for her warm service, Miyako left here with Du Pingping.
