In Kyoto City, Japan, a quaint residential area on a hillside, this is where Nakamura now lives. Since the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion was suddenly canceled, he was immediately dismissed by his superiors, and persuaded him to return to his hometown on the grounds of his advanced age. As of today, he has been living in his hometown for several months.

On the first day after returning home, Nakamura ordered a copy of all the targeted newspapers, and every morning and evening he had to read the morning and evening newspapers. His wife and children knew that he had retired from the government, but they still couldn't help but feel very strange, but the old man insisted on going his own way, and they had to be responsible for sorting out and disposing of a large number of old newspapers every day.

Nakamura naturally has his reasons. A few months ago, the umbrella company "was ordered to be in danger" to launch an anti-cancer drug, which cured the colon cancer of the world-renowned Hollywood movie star, Audrey Hepburn, and saved her from the brink of death. The company's anti-cancer drug R&D base is in Kyoto, near his hometown, so how can he not pay attention?

Because the situation is really weird. Obviously, he had just lost dozens of police officers on the "previous day," but immediately after the "next day," the prime minister had no interest in this matter! This is a completely unbelievable situation, and he has no interest at all.

The willfulness of a prime minister is rare and unheard of, but Nakamura immediately witnessed a terrifying situation. The Prime Minister is the first person, then the Minister of Defense, the third person is the Chief of the National Police Agency, and the fourth person is the Chief Police Superintendent of Hakuba.

He just knocked on the door of the office and smashed the desk, even for any reason, what is "not interested"!?

Then he was persuaded to quit.

Things are definitely inseparable from Alice Wang, Nakamura firmly believes this, and as for where the execution unit is, he is still groping. What kind of means did the girl use to make everyone from the prime minister to the senior officials ignore the whole incident? You know, it was the government itself that first took the initiative to get the girl's idea, could it be that the girl said that she had mobilized the four major consortia and that the consortia would put pressure on the government?

Nakamura immediately rejected the idea, because the existence of a huge hole in the ground of Chiba Prefecture has been proven by geological prospectors, and no matter how much pressure the consortium can exert pressure, how can the government pretend to be deaf and dumb about such a big thing!?

So for some time, Nakamura has been trying to track and collect all the available information. Because of his retirement, he has disconnected himself from his old subordinate Tamako, a grass pheasant, after all, Tamako is a spy government officer, and it is not something that retirees should be able to contact at will. So in the same way, Nakamura, who has carried out secret missions all his life, once he retires, can only rely on conventional means to carry out investigations.

Huang Tian paid off, and he finally found some of the latest moves about Alice Wang in the overseas news. She registered an investment company in a Utah city called Hive, bought almost all of the city's municipal enterprises, and moved the heavy factory of the "Draken Company" there. All the details came together, so that Nakamura smelled a unified conclusion, this girl is going to build her own city.

So the purpose is to find the goal. Nakamura can see from looking through the map that Utah belongs to the most traditional western desert type, with 80% of the population living in Salt Lake City, and the territory is completely covered by barren plateaus, mountains and salt lake deserts. Of course, the natural resources here are abundant, but combined with Alice Wang's main type of industry and her track record in Chiba Prefecture, Nakamura directly made up her true purpose.

Hollowed out Chiba Prefecture, and now it's going to dig Utah again?

I believe that if Alice can learn about Nakamura's existence, she will definitely admire his accurate brain.

In short, Nakamura was sure that his guess was correct. It's no coincidence that Draken Industries would build a factory in Utah, and that it was in that city of Laken. It is easy to think of the conclusion that it is easy to think of, especially Nakamura, who quickly learned that before the transformation of Draken in recent years, it was a German drilling rig company with a hundred years of experience!

It's just that new questions come to mind. If Alice Wang really wants to do large-scale underground construction in Utah, this kind of preparation is normal, then since this preparation is needed now, how did the huge pit under Chiba County be prepared and how was it dug out?

Nakamura couldn't sit still, so he proposed such an idea to his family.

"Eh, old man, you're going to settle in the United States!?"

Mrs. Nakamura was so shocked that she almost fell: "What the hell are you doing, you can finally retire at home, what are you going to do in the United States?"

The eldest son was also persuading him: "Dad, Toshio is also in elementary school now, if the old people in the family are not even, isn't this a big regret in life?

Nakamura was annoyed: "You idiots, am I never going to come back for the rest of my life? Where did you come to such strange conclusions? I just want to stay in the United States alone for a while, can't I!?"

In the end, Nakamura, who was macho, shook everyone down. It stands to reason that he should bring his wife, but just like his son said, he can't make Toshio feel that there are no old people at home. Anyway, after giving up a reason, he set out on a flight to the United States alone.

Kyoto to Los Angeles, Nakamura's flight, the same Boeing 747 as Alice Wang's, but a pure passenger model without private modifications. Throughout the journey, Nakamura has been pondering the psychology of the other party, thinking about what kind of brain circuit that girl has.

With Toshio in his family in elementary school, Nakamura is also able to bring his mind back to his youth. Alice Wang is only twenty years old this year, and her photo is not much different from that of seventeen or eighteen, so it is impossible to think of it from the perspective of "evil capitalist" in general. Nakamura imagined what he would do if he had mastered a 100-billion-dollar conglomerate at the age of 20 and was worth tens of billions of dollars.

Aharih, a young man who was not in the middle of the man...... Is it?

So Alice Wang's actions are all episodes of secondary disease?

If it were any other person, Nakamura would not have come to this kind of brain-pumping conclusion, but since the other party is a genius who made a fortune at the age of twelve or thirteen...... Genius is often equal to weirdness, and if you think about it rationally, Alice Wang does have the qualifications to be the king of the two diseases more than anyone else, isn't it?

It's a Japanese anyway, and his grandson is also a master who watches anime all day long, and recently he was obsessed with the "Conan" who was full of middle two atmosphere, and Nakamura thinks that his opinion is absolutely right.

Thinking about it this way, the sense of crisis of the incident can indeed be taken to the next level, but it still can't be just let go. With this in mind, the ten-hour flight was coming to an end, and the plane gradually lowered its altitude and began to circle over the city of Los Angeles.

Nakamura looked down.

The skyscraper towering into the sky, the curvaceous Alice Building, was at least twice as tall as any of the buildings next to it. It is really a masterpiece in the history of architecture, and the entire shell is actually composed of a large area of glass curtain wall, and how meticulous mechanical calculations must be made to complete it? It is worthy of the style of a rich man who is young and rich, and this kind of ostentatious style is not seen in Japan.

At the same time, it is on the top floor of this skyscraper.

"Look, sister, there's a plane preparing to land!"

Alice sat on the couch and looked down at the book: "Oh, you can blast it down with a bazooka." ”

Oscar stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his apartment, wearing a black suit, looking at the plane in the sky: "That plane...... It's really not that far from us. Sister, I suddenly noticed a problem!"

Alice was still looking down at the book: "Huh?"

"What do you think the plane would do if it suddenly turned around and crashed into us?"

Alice raised her head and grabbed the tips of her hair that fell to the tip of her nose: "Then you just hang up, the whole world will be grateful to Mr. Captain for his sacrifice." ”

"Sister, I'm serious. Oscar looked at the plane and said, "Let's be here and at the airport...... Fourteen or fifteen miles away. And then our building is still so tall, twice as tall as the Commonwealth Bank Building next to it, if there are really some bad guys who want to sabotage the United States, aren't we a living target?"

The younger brother is really getting more and more mature, and Alice feels very relieved and satisfied. He was clearly considering the anti-American rhetoric in the Middle East after the Gulf War, and since the Umbrella forces played a key role in the invasion, it is indeed likely that someone will do him badly.

"That's really going to be arranged. ”

Alice said: "The possibility of hijacking the airliner in the Pacific Ocean is very small, the cost performance is too low, and it is enough to give a 10% probability." The most convenient way to fly from inland airports is to fly to destinations on both coasts. But considering that the CBD area of Los Angeles is really small, and Manhattan is full of skyscrapers, Oscar, if you were a hijacker, what would you choose? How to improve the success rate of the battle?"

It's actually presentable......

Oscar felt his head wide, and thought about it carefully: "It still depends on the purpose of the bad guys, right? If it is just to find our fault and hijack three or four planes in one go, how can there be no reason to be inaccurate." But if it's just to create international public opinion and cause chaos for the United States, Manhattan is indeed a better choice, especially if it hits the Empire State Building or something......"

Alice looked down at the book and twitched the corners of her mouth.

Okay, why did they turn the topic here?

"If you're really not sure, I can put some defensive weapons upstairs on our floor. She said, "Use HP-001 to determine a large flying object that is a threat, and then blast it off with a laser?"

This idea can be had, because if there is a real incident of a flying object hitting a building, it is nothing more than a cruise missile and a hijacked aircraft, and no matter which one is, there is a key point that can be targeted by a laser. As soon as his mind opened, Oscar was also enthusiastic about the matter, and he immediately questioned that even if the laser destroyed the plane's engine, it could crash into the Alice Building before it crashed.

“…… Okay, maybe I should put an energy shield on our building, and you're satisfied, right?"

"Very satisfied! Then sister, come on research and development, I'll serve you tea and water!"

This topic can be said to be temporarily revealed, Oscar is not wearing a suit to be cool, but to intern downstairs, so after a few nagging words, get out. Alice didn't continue to read, and because of the topic, she stared at the plane outside the window.

Well, of course, that one wasn't going to hit the building, and it's now landing safely towards the airport.

However, Oscar's reminder is indeed heeded.

Time is really a bit short, Alice snapped her fingers and calculated, now it's seven or eight years away from 911!

Seven or eight years is not a very short period of time, with her current business scale, I don't know what height she will achieve around 2001. Maybe by then, she'll take the place of an entire Manhattan and become a thorn in bin Laden's side. So what should she do when that happens?

After all, if history really changes so much, of course, no one can guarantee that 911 will still be 911.

"Or press a remote control on the building, so that the plane can't be operated manually, and just turn away?"

Fortunately, there should be another seven or eight years, Alice thought about it, and when it really happened, of course, it would be the soldiers who would block the water and cover the earth. As for now, it's still important to be steady and live every day.

I believe that Nakamura couldn't imagine that when he was overlooking the Alice Building, imagining what kind of brain circuit the other party was, the other party was also staring at the plane he was on, worrying about what would happen if the plane hit the building.

It can be seen from this that Nakamura's inference is not wrong at all, the other party is really a master whose brain hole breaks through the sky, and it must not be viewed with common sense.

After getting off the plane, Nakamura began to prepare for his connecting flight to Salt Lake City. Laquin is a small city, and Los Angeles doesn't have direct flights there, and even small planes are not equipped with them. However, he knew that this obstacle would certainly not be a problem for Alice Wang, and it was not unaffordable to use a large plane for long-distance flights and a small plane for short-distance flights, and there were tycoons in New York who drove helicopters to and from work!

Once you've arrived in Salt Lake City, the next step is to find a rental car company to rent a suitable car. Nakamura, who was waiting for the transfer, thought that the girl should have already acquired the Salt Lake City Car Rental Center, so if she registered one with her passport, would she be investigated?

Considering that he was persuaded to retire by his superiors, he really couldn't help but think so.

Anyway, let's get to the city of Laken first!
