"Ah~he~"
The night guard couldn't help but yawn, inhaled a breath of cold night breeze, and shivered all over his body.
I don't know if it's because of this cold wind, he suddenly had a hint of urine, and couldn't help but want to go to the toilet.
Just as he was about to walk in the direction of the toilet, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind his back and covered his mouth violently!
Before he could react to what had happened, he felt a pain in his neck, and then, there was no more......
Like a chick caught by an eagle, he was dragged into the darkness without any resistance.
"Huh?"
A person next to him seemed to see the feet of the guard who was dragged into the darkness, and couldn't help but walk over in confusion.
"Huh~"
Just as he walked to the place where the guard's feet had disappeared, he suddenly heard a strange sound similar to a whistle, and he couldn't help but raise his head. Then he felt his neck be pressed against a black, cold iron rod.
"Goo-dong!"
He couldn't help but swallow, and his Adam's apple ached from the top of the cold and hard iron rod.
"Click!"
The next second, with a soft sound, the blue light made him can't help but squint his eyes.
And this is also the last picture that stays in his mind.
In the moment the figure went limp, another iron rod flew under his armpit and held him up.
Then, like a skeleton with muscles removed, he was dragged into the darkness once again by an iron rod.
"The house is not big, but there are quite a few guards. ”
The black figure thrust the two iron rods back behind his back and let out a hoarse sound.
The hoarse voice sounded like there were several voices stacked on top of each other, sounding mysterious and unrealistic.
"That means we've come to the right place. Inside the Eagle's Nest, Uncle De, who was sitting in front of the main computer, couldn't help but say, "People who are engaged in secret work, or who violate the law, usually find a place they think is safe to negotiate, called a safe house." ”
"I really hid it deep enough, and I actually used the name of my secretary's sister to buy the house. ”
Hawk said this, and then wrapped the shoelaces of the two people lying on the ground into a dead knot.
"Well, it seems that this President Kawashima has an indescribable relationship with this lady......"
Uncle De said in a loud voice while browsing the photos that seemed to have been taken secretly on the computer.
"Hey, an old man in his sixties, I didn't expect there to be such leisure and elegance, aren't you afraid of being powerless......"
Hearing Uncle De's words, Takaya couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, expressing strong contempt and suspicion for Hideo Kawashima's behavior and ability.
"Young master, you must know that people's desires are endless, even if you can't do it, you always want to have it. That's how a lot of strife in the world came about......" Uncle De shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, young master, how does this new uniform feel?"
"It's not bad, it feels more flexible than it used to be. ”
With that, Takaya couldn't help but move his arm, then squeezed his fist to confirm the sensation.
The previous uniform, which had been damaged in battle, was finally officially dead after being shot by the dead shooter that day. The set he is wearing now is the second set that was just completed a few days ago, codenamed DK-2.
Unlike the DK-1 uniform, which was just taken a high-fiber suit for the latest special forces of Yuchai Military Industry at the beginning, and then made some paint and magic changes and hurriedly went into battle, this DK-2 uniform has been selectively improved in terms of material and structure, and it is no longer a general-purpose special forces system, but completely tailored for the identity of this dark knight.
The material has been replaced by a lighter mesh breathable material from the original thermal insulation and compression resistant material to adapt to various similar desert and marine environments, although the ability to resist hits is weaker, but it is more resistant to cutting, and greatly strengthens his flexibility.
Moreover, the blue eagle on the chest of this uniform and the shoulders and forearms are faintly shiny, which looks like armor, and it is also because of the lessons learned from the previous shots that the eagle arrow has inlaid an extremely dense but soft alloy material on the outer layer of the mesh material in these parts, which greatly increases the bulletproof ability of this uniform.
As for the collar, it is a small voice changer made by Dr. Asasa for Conan. The position of the vocal cords allows him to directly emit a hoarse and heavy figure, without using his voice to disguise it.
The same goes for shoes and gloves, in addition to being flexible and lightweight, this new type of mesh material full of elasticity has a certain ability to increase his bounce ability and explosive power, simply put, it hurts more to beat people.
Whenever he thinks of this, Uncle De will always involuntarily mourn for those criminals.
However, the biggest change should be the back of this uniform. The two shoulder blades were thickened by a layer, and then two grooves were added to place the two electric batons that Eagle had recently hammered.
Electricity is something that anyone who has tasted knows what it tastes like. Not only is it painful, but it also has a paralyzing effect that can make people lose the ability to resist in an instant, so it is really convenient for Eagle Arrow, who often has to put down a vote. Moreover, with the weapon in hand, Eagle Arrow's melee ability has increased a lot, and even if he encounters that ghost warrior again, Eagle Arrow will no longer be useless.
Another point, the most critical difference between this set of DK-2 and DK-1 is the mask that is now worn on the face of Eagle Arrow.
Dr. Asa is worthy of Dr. Asasa, known as Conan's number one black technology inventor in the world, to be honest, at the beginning, even he himself told Dr. Asasa about the camera requirements with a try-and-see attitude, who knew that he really built it like this......
Therefore, Hawkya simply placed the two cameras on both sides of the blindfold, and then used the same soft lens material as the tracking glasses made by Dr. Asa for Conan, and embedded them in the eye openings of the blindfold, successfully completing the docking of the lens and the lens, so that this pair of eyecups also has the basic function of night vision devices.
Finally, I don't have to run around with such a large night vision device in the future!
However, after all, this is still a trial sample, and there are still many defects that have not been solved. For example, the fragility of the lenses at the eye and the resistance to glare damage from Dr. Asasa's night vision camera are all issues that remain to be solved.
But these are all later words, and they are problems that need to be solved by DK-3, and what Eagle Arrow needs to solve at the moment is not this.
Thinking so, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but hook the window on the second floor of this villa with Eagle Arrow, and gently climbed the window sill.
"Sting!" With a slightly piercing sound, the glass window was marked in a circle by the eagle arrow, and then he slapped it into the room with his palm, and landed on the thick plush carpet without making much noise.
Takaya reached into the hole she had just cut, gently unlocked the window, and flipped into the room with her hands and feet.
As soon as he entered this room, Takaya couldn't help but frown slightly.
The air in this room was really muddy, and there was a lot of dust on the floor, so it looked like no one had been there for a while.
Could it be that this time it is useless again?
There hasn't been a clue for so long, and even Eagle Arrow can't help but feel a little irritated.
But despite this, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and began to scan the room seriously.
This room appears to be a reception room...... No, it's not so much a meeting room as a conference room.
Looking at the four small single-seater sofas arranged around a coffee table, Hawkya's eyes couldn't help but squint slightly.
"The four sofas look very old...... Uncle De, this style of pattern should have been a product many years ago, right?"
Takaya walked to the front of the couch and lightly scratched the edge of the blindfold, and the lens displayed on the eyepiece suddenly zoomed in.
"It's exactly what it was like many years ago...... But look at this style should be luxurious, it is the kind that needs to be customized, young master, you can try to find out if there is a label or something, maybe you can try to search to see if you can find a buyer. ”
Looking at the appearance of the sofas displayed on the screen, Uncle De couldn't help but say so.
"Yes, there is, but after such a long time, I don't have much hope for it. Hawk crouched down and rummaged through the base of the couch to find the barcode strip of cloth sewn in the gap. The strip of cloth was a little blurry because of the wear and tear of the years.
"I'm going to give it a try anyway. Uncle De smiled yes, and then started searching on his own.
Although he also knew that the home network was not so widespread a few years ago, it is likely that those stores and manufacturers still recorded these things in the form of written materials. However, if you find it, how do you know without giving it a try.
"There are four sofas, and there are traces of sitting on each sofa, so there should have been four people sitting here to talk about it......"
Just as Uncle De was searching for information about these sofas on the Internet, Eagle Ya also began to carefully observe the sofa in front of him.
There are some dents and wear in the middle of each sofa, indicating that there were people who used to sit here.
And there are two sofas with relatively large dents and wear, indicating that there are two people who should be fat. Hawkya pressed the spring surface of the couch with his hand, tested the strength, and then roughly estimated the weight of the four people.
"Huh?" At this moment, Takaya suddenly noticed something.
It was the couch of one of the people who estimated that they were fatter, and it seemed to have accumulated more dust than the other three. After carefully comparing it with a puzzled attitude, Taka found that this sofa was slightly less worn.
This means that the owner of this sofa seems to have not been here for a long time compared to the three sofas.
Why? Uneven distribution and contradictions? Or is it simply dismantled? Or is it ......? He's dead?
Taka thought so, turning her gaze from the couch to the coffee table, on which was a dirty ashtray.
There is nothing unusual about the ashtray itself, but the point is that it is placed on the left-hand side of the seat.
In other words, is this slightly chubby person a left-hander?
Thinking so, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but wander around the house, searching for anything left behind that might be a clue.
Exploring the scene is actually quite a boring and boring thing, and Hawkya, who has cheated countless reasoning games in his previous life, agrees. Because clues don't automatically come to you, you don't have any skills like the Observation Eye that can directly filter out the unimportant things. Some key clues are likely to be hidden in something that seems extremely mundane, and it often takes a bloody carpet search over and over again to find them.
Therefore, when Eagle Ya searched the entire house and found no obvious clues, even in his state of mind, he was inevitably a little depressed. It seems that Hideo Kawashima and the others really only regarded this place as a safe house for discussion meetings, and did not leave too many traces of life here, so there are very few things that can be used as clues.
The only things that can be considered a harvest are the traces on the sofa and the slippers placed at the entrance to the entrance.
The four pairs of slippers, each different, were the same as what I had just seen in the reception room on the second floor, indicating that there were indeed four people. But one of them seems to have been sitting for a long time, and has accumulated a lot of dust, which further confirms Eagle Ya's conjecture just now, and one of them seems to have not been here for a long time, I don't know what the reason is.
But for whatever reason, Hawk took out all four pairs of slippers and used a small scanner to print their paws from the inside. And, of course, the shoe prints on the soles of each pair of slippers. These two things can infer a lot of data, such as human size and body size, although it is only a rough estimate, but at least it can narrow down the scope of the investigation.
"Heh, this is really worth the effort, young master!" At this time, Uncle De's happy voice suddenly sounded in his headphones, "I really should be grateful to this Sakura Sun sofa company for using the electronic system so early!"
"Did you really find it?"
Eagle Arrow was also speechless for a while, but more excited, there was always a feeling that there was nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.
"Ah, the buyer's name column is written on Reiko Kuroiwa. Uncle De looked at the name written on the file and said.
"Reiko Kuroiwa?" Taka couldn't help but frown slightly.
He always felt like he hadn't heard the name, but he felt as if he had seen it somewhere.
"You may be unfamiliar with the name Reiko Kuroiwa, but you should have seen the name of her father, Tatsuji Kuroiwa. ”
Uncle De tapped on the keyboard and pulled up the identity file of Heiyan Lingzi from the household registration system.
"Is that him?" Takiya suddenly remembered that he had seen this name when he was investigating the list of friends around Hideo Kawashima before.
"In other words, is he one of them?"
Seeing the slightly wide slippers, Eagle Ya's mind couldn't help but think of the slightly chubby figure in the photos he had seen.
"And young master, I also discovered a very interesting thing, this Mr. Kuroiwa, like Hideo Kawashima, is from a small island called Tsukikage Island in the Izu Islands. Uncle De said while looking at the information written in the file, "Moreover, I just searched for the name of Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and found out that he is still the village chief of Moon Shadow Island Village." ”
"The village chief of Moonshadow Village?"
"Ah, it's just that this Heiyan village chief has not had a very good time recently, it seems that because he has seized the villagers' fields to carry out development, he has lost the hearts of the people, and his popularity has declined rapidly, and it seems that he will not be able to keep the position of village chief in the general election in the near future. Uncle De looked at the news report and said with a "tsk", "The previous village chief who died was like this, and the same is true of this village chief, and the people of Moon Shadow Island are really in trouble...... Or rather, they don't have the vision to choose people......"
"Dead ...... Former village chief?" Hearing this, looking at the slippers in his hand, a trace of thought suddenly flashed in the mind of Eagle Ya, who was in a daze, "Uncle De, what is the name of this dead former village chief?"
"Well, I'll check...... Uncle De flipped through the previous news, "It's called Isamu Kameyama, 57 years old, died on the piano at the Aso Memorial Hall on Tsukikage Island, and the cause of death was myocardial infarction." However, it is said that the real cause of death was the curse of Moonlight. ”
"Curse?" Hearing these two words, Eagle Arrow couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Well, young master, I'd better send you the information directly. ”
Hearing Uncle De's words, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but take out the small PDA from the universal belt and received a message from Uncle De.
It recorded all the information of Kameyama in detail, such as height and weight, and even pasted a photo of him.
Sure enough...... Eagle Arrow browsed as he looked at the slippers over there.
Isamu Kameyama, who died of a myocardial infarction two years ago, is not much different from the image he predicted through the sofa and slippers. If nothing else, this Kameyama Yumu is the owner of the slippers that have accumulated a lot of dust.
"Huh?" Underneath the basics, Eagle Ya also saw the so-called curse.
[In the uninhabited public hall, the sound of the piano of the pianist Keiji Aso, who was set on fire, was played, and it was Beethoven's "Moonlight" that the other party had been playing when he was in the fire twelve years ago. And when someone broke in from behind, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, leaving only Kameyama Yu, who died on the piano with a frightened expression......]
Keiji Aso...... Uncle De, what kind of person is this pianist Keiji Aso?"
Eagle Ya watched it for a long time, and suddenly had a trace of interest in the pianist who set fire to the ****.
"Don't you know, young master, more than ten years ago, he was a world-famous pianist!"
Uncle De's tone was full of surprise, and there was a kind of regret like "you don't even know this".
"Please, I was only a few years old then!
"But at that time, Miss Xia Jiang, you remember what cartoons they liked to watch, you can remember it clearly......"
"I ...... Ahem, okay, I'm lonely," Hawkya couldn't help scratching the back of his head, and said a little depressedly, "Uncle De, can you help me find out what this Keiji Aso has to do with them?"
Although Eagle Ya doesn't think it's really some kind of curse killing, since there are rumors like this, there is always some reason, or someone deliberately wants to connect the two things.
"Well, it seems that this Keiji Aso seems to be good friends with them since childhood...... Keiji Aso, Hideo Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Isamu Kameyama and Ken Nishimoto...... This is a photo of Mr. Aso's family's funeral, and I sent it to you, young master. ”
Hearing Uncle De's words, Eagle Ya couldn't help but look at the photos displayed on the PDA.
Hideo Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Isamu Kameyama, and Ken Nishimoto...... Two fat and two thin to the same...... The body shape fits perfectly......
If this is a coincidence, the eagle arrow will not believe it. Now he was almost 100% sure that these four guys, the four people who often held meetings in this safe house, were mostly like Hideo Kawashima, not very clean.
Moreover, Eagle Ya always has an inexplicable intuition that Aso's death is probably inseparable from these guys.
"Huh?" At this time, Uncle De suddenly sighed.
"What's the matter, Uncle De?" said Eagle Arrow, who was putting away the four pairs of slippers and preparing to leave this safe room, couldn't help but wonder in confusion.
"The old man investigated Keiji Aso's file and seemed to see a familiar name......
"What's the name?" Takaya climbed out of the window as he returned to the conference room on the second floor.
"In the column of Keiji Aso's children, there are several names written on them...... Two of them seem to be ......"
"Asai (seiji)...... And Narumi ......"
"Narumi?"
It seems that he had heard the name somewhere not long ago......
===============================================================
"Well...... How's that......"
"Aha, a little bit more to the left......"
"Oh, why does it feel like it's falling off a little bit again? Sure enough, it's better to tie someone up than an iron block?"
"Alas, but no, if you tie someone up, he won't know I'm calling him, right?"
"Ahh
"Aha, it's finally done!"
Saying this, the girl smiled and pulled down the switch of the searchlight, and the strong light reflected a circular light in the sky.
"Haha, do you see that I'm calling you, handsome guy, come and see me!"
Under the backdrop of the lights, the girl's pink and gold double ponytails are exceptionally bright and cute.
In the sky, in the center of the circular light, a pitch-black eagle was lying quietly in the center, spreading its wings.
