Chapter 125: Murder on a Luxury Cruise Ship (2)
The microwave is rippling and the lights are flickering.
The night pours down, and the sparkling waves on the sea surface are like a blurry dream, allowing the fishermen to fall asleep.
Even in the town of Rice Flower, which is known as the capital of crime, there is a sense of tranquility in the harbor far from the city.
However, no matter how beautiful and dreamy it is, Rice Flower Town is Rice Flower Town after all. If you want to survive here, you must not give up your vigilance because of this slightest tranquility. Living in this city is like walking in a quiet jungle, you don't know when a snake will suddenly come out and kill you!
Especially now, someone has lit a searchlight in the dark night sky of the city.
This lamp shows people the way in the night, but at the same time, it exposes the ghosts and spirits in the city to people's vision one by one. As if attracted by the light, one by one, they crawled out of the dark corners......
"Smack!"
It was as if something had climbed the hull, and with a soft thud, the whole hull shook slightly.
"Huh, what's that?"
Isamu Hotta, who was lying on the metal chair and dozing, couldn't help but suddenly get up from the chair.
He is also an old fisherman, and he has been mixing in this acre and three points of land in Tokyo Bay for I don't know how long, and he is basically used to coming and going in the wind and rain, and the wind and waves are all used to it. And what he relied on to save his life was the sensitivity and prudence that had been tempered thousands of times. Therefore, although the vibration of the hull just now was small, Isamu Hotta still did not miss it.
"Smack!"
There was another soft thud, still soft, but this time the boat seemed to shake a little more than the last time.
The sound sounded as if something had been attached to the wall of the ship.
"Octopus?" Isamu Hotta couldn't help frowning slightly.
It says it's an octopus, but it doesn't feel like it. Let's not talk about whether there are octopuses this season, even if there are, in such shallow waters, in such waters, there should not be octopuses that are big enough to shake the hull of the boat......
Hotta couldn't help but instinctively sense that something was wrong, grabbed the harpoon that was set aside, and walked towards the bow of the boat.
However, before he could reach the bow of the ship, an object that looked like an octopus's tentacles suddenly catapulted up from the edge of the hull, passed through his cheek, and wrapped itself around the mast not far behind him!
"This ...... What is this thing?"
Frightened to the ground by the sudden strong wind, Isamu Hotta's eyes widened in disbelief.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is tentacles, because it does not have the small suction cups on the tentacles of those octopuses he has seen in the past, but is filled with some moist and sticky liquid, which looks slippery and disgusting. If it weren't for the fact that it was so long, Isamu Hotta really didn't think it looked like a tentacle and more like a tongue!
However, in the next second, as if to verify his thoughts, the tentacle straightened violently in an instant, and with the huge pull that caused the mast to shake, a black figure flew high from the bottom of the ship's edge and smashed on the deck with a "bang"!
"Wow! Help, help! There are ghosts, ghosts!"
Long tentacles...... No, it should have been the tongue that had loosened from the mast, slowly retracted, and retracted towards the shadow.
Reflecting the dim moonlight, Hotta Yong still saw the figure in the darkness clearly, and couldn't help but be frightened to the point that the three souls and seven spirits were gone.
In the pale moonlight, the slightly fat shadow looked like a zombie crawling out of a cemetery, full of the terrible smell of rot, and the puffy face was a blur of flesh and blood, only the greasy mouth was still grinning, revealing a mouth full of hideous sharp teeth.
"Hungry ......"
The man said so, as if the voice had been brought out of hell, cold and rancid.
==================================================================
"Successful teacher! I successfully transcribed some of the locust genes into the rabbit and survived!"
Rice flower town. Marvel Biolabs. Biolab 1.
The young man looked at the rabbit that was jumping and jumping in the cultivation tank, and stared at the data and atlas displayed on the screen, looking a little excited, and hurriedly shouted to the teacher on the other side.
"I'm watching......" The old man in the white coat couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
It's not that he can't understand the excitement of young people. After all, this is probably one of the most difficult studies at this time, not only because of the high-end and out of reach for the average person, but also because it is extremely precise and complex, and there is no room for error. Otherwise, there will be a small difference, and a thousand miles will be lost......
So, for genetic engineering, any little bit of progress is a breakthrough. It's no wonder that he, a disciple who has long been accustomed to being excellent on weekdays, couldn't help but cry out excitedly.
"Teacher, what should we do next?" asked the young man as he looked at the rabbits bouncing around in the cultivation trough.
"Don't worry," the old man smiled and waved his hand, "although you did successfully implant the gene, this rabbit did survive." But whether the locust's genes are expressed in its body or not, we still need to observe for a while. β
"Oh yes, I almost forgot ......"
Hearing the old man's words, the young man couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, revealing a smile of embarrassment in his honesty.
As the old man said, if it were him on weekdays, he would never make such a low-level mistake.
"Okay, I know you're excited, but ...... Huh?"
Just as the old man was about to say something, the pager in his front breast pocket suddenly rang.
The old man motioned for the young man to wait, then turned around and picked up the communicator.
However, the young man has long been surprised, he knows that his teacher is a busy man, it seems that there are many projects in the laboratory that he has to preside, it is normal to have a communication at two ends in three days, and he will disappear for a long time every three or five days.
It's just that the atmosphere of this communication seems to be more solemn than any previous one......
"Hey, it's me...... Well, what are you talking about? How can this be...... Okay, I'll come right over!"
I don't know what I heard, but it should be some not-so-good news anyway, and the old man's face was clouded.
"What's going on, teacher?" Seeing the teacher's frowning brow, the well-meaning young man couldn't help but ask.
"Well, there's an experiment that has gone wrong, I have to go over and see," the old man put the communicator back in the pocket of his jacket, as if trying to show a smile to him, but after all, he couldn't cover the gloom between his eyebrows, and finally had to sigh, then walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, Hongo-kun, I can only get here today first." You sort out the information and things, so go back to rest early, and if you report, you can go back and write it and send it to me next time. β
"Okay, teacher, I know, I've worked hard for you today. The young man bowed politely to the old man.
"Well, I've worked hard for you, Hongo-kun. The old man nodded, and left in a hurry, without looking back.
Seeing the back of the old man leaving, the young man didn't say anything, but just sorted out the information according to the instructions, put the rabbit implanted with the locust gene in the breeding box and took proper care, then grabbed his schoolbag and left the laboratory.
He planned to go back to the university first, and while he had just finished the experiment, he would record today's results and organize them into a thesis.
In addition, although the teacher did not say what happened, it was probably because it was related to some confidential research in the laboratory, so it was inconvenient to say. But it should be a bit serious when I think about it, because this is the first time he has seen him so worried.
However, even if he knew that the teacher was in trouble, there was nothing he could do to help. Because, if even the teacher can't solve the problem, then what can a college student who comes to participate in the project training do?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly, then put on his helmet and stepped on the motorcycle, heading towards Didan University.
What he didn't know was that after leaving the lab, his teacher did not go to other labs as he expected, but went straight back to his office and opened the closet where the change of study gowns was stored.
The old man casually pulled his clothes aside, revealing the snow-white inner wall of the wardrobe. There was a place on the inner wall that was slightly different in color from the others, and when the light reflected it, it seemed to reflect a faint blue light, like glass.
"Identifying ......"
The old man placed his right palm on the inner plate that looked like glass, and a mechanical sound suddenly sounded in the closet.
At the same time, a hole suddenly opened in the top of the closet, and a probe-like device descended from the top and fell in front of his eyes. With a burst of red light, the mechanical sound sounded again.
"Certification, Dr. Hiroshi Midorikawa, welcome. β
With these words, the inner wall of the wardrobe opened to both sides like a door, revealing an elevator.
The old man tugged at his collar, let out a sigh of relief, and after making sure that no one had noticed, he slowly walked in.
The elevator door closed and began to descend rapidly, with momentum, speed, as if it were going to descend to the center of the earth.
"Oops, Doctor, you're finally here, so slow!"
After a long while, the elevator finally stopped. However, before the door could be opened, a voice came in first.
"Calm down, Miyoko. Dr. Midorikawa straightened his collar and walked out of the elevator unhurriedly, "Since the incident has happened, it's useless to be in a hurry, it's better to think about how to deal with it." β
"Hmph, you're talking about it easily, you can cry when the time comes to be punished by the boss, it's not my responsibility......"
Hearing the old man's words, the charming girl couldn't help but whisper a complaint, and then followed behind him depressedly.
"The old man didn't think about evading responsibility at all," Dr. Midorikawa couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "After all, I didn't see that Sawada was pretended by someone else, and the old man did have to bear some responsibility." However, those security guards ......"
"If the other party came prepared, what do you think would be the use of those decorations, teacher?"
With that, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness and came to the two of them.
"You're here too......" Dr. Midorikawa Hiroshi looked at the person in front of him lightly, and his expression seemed to be a little less.
"Of course, I've always been here for the sake of the great organization. β
However, the other party bowed respectfully as if he hadn't noticed the change in the expression on Dr. Midorikawa's face.
"So, how far has that impostor been investigating? I guess he didn't get close to the core of the lab, right?"
Dr. Midorikawa just nodded faintly, and then stopped looking at him, but turned his head and continued to ask Miyoko.
"No, the lab database is completely independent, and it's impossible to see anything from the lab unless you come here. Miyoko shook her head, "However, if you come here, you need to go through the certification process. And that soft-footed shrimp in Sawada is not an internal member of our laboratory, so the impostor naturally can't get in. β
"In other words, the other party didn't come for our lab, did they?" said Dr. Midorikawa.
"For now, you can think about it for the time being, otherwise, the other party should choose the character between us, for example, you, doctor. Saying this, Miyoko couldn't help but blink her eyes and look at him with a meaningful look.
"You're not suspecting me of being fake, are you?" Dr. Midorikawa couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and slant her slightly.
"How could it be!" Miyoko smiled and waved her hand, sticking out her tongue slightly, "The smell of the doctor, I'm very familiar with it!"
"However, it can't be ruled out that the other party wants to learn about the existence of our laboratory through Sawada's waste first, but it's just that he is looking in the wrong direction......" The young man couldn't help but sneer, and then turned his head to look at Miyoko over there, "Hmph, in the end, it's because of your incompetence, Miyoko." If you're decisive, you'll be able to keep that guy! With your toxin, it shouldn't be hard to take that guy down in an instant!"
"Hmph, do you think I didn't think of it? It's just that you forgot the boss's explanation, Dead Spider, he made us no longer use our abilities in front of others!" Hearing this, Miyoko couldn't help but give him an angry look.
"Of course I remember!" the young man snorted coldly, "The boss said that we won't be allowed to use our abilities in front of people, so as long as you kill all the people who see you use your abilities afterwards!
"That's enough!" Just as Miyoko was about to say something, Dr. Midorikawa had already spoken out to stop them in advance.
"I said it just now, and now it's completely pointless to say this, you should think about how to deal with it!"
"I'm sorry, but I lost my temper, teacher. Seeing that Dr. Midorikawa seemed to be really angry, the young man couldn't help but put away his mocking face and bowed to Dr. Midorikawa sincerely.
"You go and investigate the database, investigate the databases of the inner and outer laboratories, and see what that person is investigating, there should be some traces left. β
"Yes, teacher. The young man seemed to respect Dr. Midorikawa, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.
"Miyoko, didn't you say that you got some blood and tissue left behind by Okita, take me to see it. β
"Oh, no problem," Miyoko laughed, "She's just a weak woman, so she only brought a small part back, but the brute said that he would bring back all the large pieces of tissue that were left there later!"
"How ...... Ben," Dr. Midorikawa smiled slightly, "It's okay, although I didn't bring the whole person back, but if it really is as many specimens as you said, it can be." I'd also like to investigate what happened to his genes......"
==================================================================
"Hmm...... Finally...... Filled......"
Spit out the last piece of fish bone and wiped his mouth, and finally showed a look of satisfaction on his hideous face.
Even if there is an effect of reagents, the repair of limbs also consumes a lot of energy.
And he hadn't eaten anything since last night until just now, and it was really about to make him hungry!
Fortunately, now he has finally eaten enough.
"Ah, satisfied, although the taste is a little worse, but I haven't eaten so much in a long time...... Thank you!"
The fat body turned his head and smiled kindly at Isamu Hotta over there.
However, this kind smile almost didn't directly scare Isamu Hotta out of the pee!
Not only because of his terrifying looks, but also because of his terrifying methods and terrifying appetite!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that even if he had been killed, someone would have been able to eat more than half of his fish at once! And it was eaten raw! No, it was not a human! This guy was definitely not a human! It must have been a monster! A monster in the sea!
Hotta's legs trembled, and he was about to collapse to the ground in fear, but he still had to step forward.
"That...... What do you want...... I...... I scooped it up......"
Isamu Hotta walked up to him tremblingly, carrying a metal box with seawater on the surface.
"Ah, what a hard work for you...... If I lose this thing, it will really bother me......"
With a gloomy and oozing laugh, the fat figure took the box from his hand and opened it.
With a burst of cold air dissipating, two dark blue potions lay intact in the center of the box.
"W-That...... IβI did what you said...... The poison on my body...... Isn't that possible?"
Isamu Hotta shuddered and asked him cautiously, as he felt that his limbs were about to lose sensation.
"That's what I said, in that case, and in order to repay you for this meal, then ......"
The fat figure said this, and seemed to tilt its head to think about it, and then smiled at him.
"Ah, it's realβ"
And before Isamu Hotta's smile for the rest of his life could rise to his cheeks, his chest was pierced first.
The long tongue turned into a sharp knife that pierced through his rib space and pierced his heart.
"For ...... What'......"
Until his tongue was withdrawn and blood gushed out, Isamu Hotta couldn't react to what was happening.
His eyes widened as if he were about to tear his sockets apart, staring at the monster in front of him. I wanted to ask unwillingly, but as soon as he said two words, blood gushed up from his esophagus and overflowed his mouth.
The strong smell of blood was probably the last smell left in his nerve centers, which had begun to numb, the smell of death.
Then, his consciousness began to blur, and his soulless legs began to lose their weight, and he slammed to the ground.
He probably didn't understand until he died, why he promised to help him detoxify, but in the end, it would be like this......
"I'm so sorry, my own poison, I don't have an antidote myself. Therefore, I can only show mercy to you. β
The fat figure withdrew his tongue covered in blood, his blood-stained lips outlined a cruel smile, and said cruel-sounding words in a very gentle tone, and then he ignored the unlucky man lying on the deck, sobbing his breath, and turned to take out a tube of reagents from the box.
"I didn't expect that after only one day, I would use the second ......"
The fat figure looked at the faintly fluorescent blue liquid flowing in the transparent glass tube, and muttered to himself.
"I will definitely get this account back when the time comes...... Hmm!"
Saying this, he couldn't help but plunge the needle straight into his neck and push the whole tube of reagents into it hard.
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly, his fat body arched from the severe pain, like a boiled shrimp.
The dark blue fluorescence slowly spread along his veins to his whole body, and as the fluorescence passed, those places seemed to be activated by something, and the broken skin began to heal rapidly, and even the layer of skin that had been withdrawn began to grow.
"Shinji Hashiba...... Laboratory...... Black Knight......"
Withstanding the inhuman pain, his fat body trembled and climbed up from the deck, looking at the brightly lit shore.
"Mihua, one day, I'll be back!"
"When the time comes, I want you to pay the price!"
==================================================================
"Haqiu!"
Hawk sneezed so hard that he almost didn't fall down the third-floor hallway.
"Are you alright, Takaya?"
A gentle voice sounded beside him, accompanied by a tissue that was handed to him.
"Maybe who's scolding me, I guess at least half of the people on this ship want to kill me......" Eagle Ya crooked her mouth, rolled her eyes, and then took the tissue from her hand, "Thanks, Xia Jiang." β
The person who came was Xia Jiang, who was abducted by a playboy since he was a child, and took off his heart. At this moment, she has changed out of the white wedding dress and changed into an aqua blue dress, which is a little less holy, but a few more feminine, so that someone who is used to seeing a beautiful sister on weekdays can't help but look straight a little.
"Yes, grandpa made you angry enough!"
Having said that, Xia Jiang just glanced at him with disgust, and then couldn't help laughing.
You know, when he swaggered into the wedding scene in a helicopter and took her hand and ran to the stage to announce the end of the wedding, the faces of all the people present were green!
This is simply a blatant slap in the face of their flag family!
At that time, he was so angry that the old man almost had a heart attack, and hurriedly called the security personnel to prepare to kick him out.
And Eagle Ya is also very single, and shouts Uncle De directly to the sky.
Then, in the midst of everyone's stunned and even horrified eyes, the helicopter hovering in the sky flew straight above the eagle's head, and the baffle at the bottom of it suddenly opened, and the barrel of a Gatling machine gun stretched out......
Yes, Gatling! Even those who haven't seen it know that the hideous black barrel is not a good thing!
So the scene was very embarrassing for a while, and the second uncle and second aunt of the Rinmoto family collapsed directly to the ground, with no image at all.
They didn't know that the barrel of the gun, which looked like it could easily take their lives, was actually used by a rich boy to set off fireworks...... Otherwise, they would have wanted to kill and whip some of the boys who had caused them to lose such a big face......
In fact, Eagle Ya has no choice, because he is here to rob relatives, not to say goodbye, and he is destined to not be able to sit down with them and chat calmly. Otherwise, what can I do, can I really walk up to them with a glass of wine and say to the groom, brother, your wife is very beautiful, I will you first? Then he is estimated to die on the spot!
Therefore, since they were originally here to be evil guests, then Eagle Arrow had no choice but to use some strong means to shock them first, let them forcibly calm down, and then we sat together and had a good talk, which is called the first soldier and then the salute.
Of course, this is for the people of the Namoto family.
As for the guests, Eagle Arrow could use banknotes to string threads and sew all of their mouths together.
I have to say that the deterrent power of the Gatling cannon is huge, even if you don't know if it's true or not, at least it can make people break out in a cold sweat, which is enough to cool the mind. And, slowly, people began to notice the big H-shaped logo on the helicopter.
The Rice Flower City Hashiba family, not to mention the entire rice flower, is famous even in the whole of Japan!
The characters at the wedding scene are more or less mixed in the financial world, and they can barely be regarded as middle- and upper-class people. But it is precisely because of this that they are more able to appreciate how small their existence is in front of the behemoth of the Yuchai family. Therefore, when they learned that the person who came to rob their relatives was the prince of Yuchai Group, many people instinctively coaxed it.
Now that you've confessed, let's sit down and talk about it.
Eagle Arrow can be regarded as giving the Rakmoto family a step down, and in the very weird eyes of everyone, he changed his previous domineering appearance, and together with Xia Jiang, he personally went over to help the old man to rest.
Only everyone was left in shock, staring at each other in place, not knowing what to say.
Then they looked at the bridegroom with a look of sympathy and mockery......
Originally, some people in the Lai Ben family were a little unhappy with this little white face, thinking that he was greedy for the family property of the Lai Ben family, so he pursued Xia Jiang with a dead face. Well, now it's really sour to see the duck that is about to fly away!
Looking at Takeshi Shimoto, who was so angry that his face turned green, some people in the crowd couldn't help but show a look of schadenfreude.
But the tragic appearance of the loser is obviously not the focus of people's attention, and everyone will not pay attention to him anymore after a glance and sneer. Because, he has nothing left to pay attention to.
Everyone's focus is now on that gentleman. Because everyone also wants to see, how is he going to end up after such a big scene?
This family style is ancient, and there are also some financial resources and power in Rice Flower City?
Yes!
After all, to be honest, the little financial resources of the family are not enough for a subsidiary of Yuchai Group, and they really don't have the ability to use the mantis arm as a car. Although this behavior is purely nonsense, I heard that the current chairman of Yuchai Group, Yuchai Shinji, is a well-known calf protector, so maybe he will help his nephew get rid of the group in a fit of anger?
The Zomoto family knows this very well, so even though his heart is full of MMP, he still has to smile at him.
Only the old man can still scold and scold at Eagle Arrow, and Eagle Arrow can only listen to it by pretending to be a grandson.
In fact, Takaya can understand the resentment of him in the heart of Hiroshi Moto.
Because he stole the heart of his favorite little granddaughter since he was a child. Forget it if you steal it, after stealing it, he actually ran away from home without saying a word, and it was a full five years when there was no news!
This makes Xia Jiang who has been watching Xia Jiang all day long in the past five years, how can he not be angry?
And just when Haozo wanted to find a good man and let his granddaughter get out of the love network set up by that damn guy, this kid shamelessly appeared again! And without saying a word, he directly disturbed her granddaughter's wedding, and he wanted to take her away?
The treasure of the book was not so angry that his brain burst back then, and he already gave him face!
In fact, Eagle Ya also felt that he was very unkind to do this, if he thought about it from another position, he would have hung himself up and whipped the corpse!
Therefore, it is already very merciful for Zomoto to just scold a few words.
But after scolding, Haozang could only sigh helplessly, he really had nothing to do with a little bastard.
If the Yuchai family and the Samoto family were reversed, he would have at least a thousand ways to kill him. But now, he really has no choice...... Even if there is, it can't be used, and his granddaughter has already tied a heart to others. Didn't you see her eyes shining with little stars? The scene where he rushed in in a helicopter to snatch his relatives just now was so impressive that even he couldn't stand being stunned for a while, let alone a little girl like Xia Jiang whose social experience was as pure as a blank sheet of paper!
This bastard boy is really insidious enough!
Seeing the eagle ya's head drooping, with a look of recognition but smugness, the treasure of the book was angry.
In the end, he really said "get out" with a gloomy face, and stopped caring about their affairs.
He didn't care, and no one in the entire Rakmoto family dared to take care of it, so the matter was resolved peacefully......
Well, probably......
Then, Hawkya asked Uncle De to drive the helicopter back to Mihua first, while he took the cruise ship of the Zomoto family and went back with Xia Jiang and her family. I haven't seen each other for so many years, and Eagle Ya also wants to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Xia Jiang.
After all, the matter of snatching relatives is over, but there are still a lot of follow-up things to deal with slowly......
For example, his relationship with Xia Jiang, and whether he should tell her about himself......
"Then again, why did the cruise stop just now?"
Takaya wiped his nose and tossed it into the trash can beside him.
"Ah, just now, it seems that when I was passing by a desert island, I found that someone was trapped on the island and couldn't go back, and my uncle said that I would go back with them anyway...... "Xia Jiang thought about it and said.
"Eh, what unlucky guy has nothing to do to run to this desert island......" Eagle Ya couldn't help but crook the corners of his mouth.
"What a faux pas, my family is also on this group of desert islands!" Hearing Eagle Ya's words, Xia Jiang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Bai.
"That's right, smile more, express your emotions more, and don't live so depressed all day long......" Looking at Xia Jiang's strange appearance, Yingya couldn't help but lean on the railing and smiled at her, "You look much more relaxed now." β
"Thank you, Eagle Arrow......" Hearing Eagle Arrow's words, Xia Jiang trembled slightly, and his eyes became more and more gentle, "Thank you, you still came to me after all......"
"As I said, I don't want to see girls cry, so I'm here to make good on my promise. Well, although the way is a little rougher......" said this, and Takaya couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.
"It's really! When you pulled me on stage at the beginning, I was worried about what would happen!" Xia Jiang said with a smile.
"Well, no matter what, it's really good that this matter was resolved without developing into a bloody situation!"
Taka couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"What do you think of my family!" Hearing this, Xia Jiang was so angry that he wanted to twist Eagle Ya's ears.
"You don't know it, it's good that it's on the island of Rakamoto, and if it's in Rice Flower Town, maybe it's ......."
"Wow, this ship is so big!
"Sure enough, it's a rich family! I don't know who is richer compared to that stinky boy of the Yuchai family?"
Just as Eagle Ya spoke, two voices suddenly sounded and walked up the stairs step by step.
At that moment, as if someone had suddenly cut off the power supply, Eagle's voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the figures who were slowly walking up the stairs on the second floor.
That's the trio that Hawkya is most familiar with, an uncle with scrap wood, a humanoid Gundam, and a spokesman for the Grim Reaper......
"Ahh
"Ahh
