Chapter Twenty-Five: The City of the Corpse

The news of the crash of the Josai fighter jet did not cause much of a stir in Osaka. 【Latest chapter reading. After the war, several new media outlets took advantage of this to accuse the Japanese Liberal People's Army of ineffective air defense, and the responsibility of protecting the safety of citizens should be entrusted to the Central Continental Expeditionary Force. But the cacophony of rhetoric soon drowned out in the flood of other political gossip.

Such an interesting model of public opinion control has been successful so far, and the new media has mostly been manipulated by Rev华Club to mislead public opinion when necessary, rather than covering it up. People can scold the incompetence of the Liberal Democrats in a misguided way, but no one cares where the fighter came from, why it crashed, and why the body of the pilot in the cockpit was already high before the crash.

The crash site has been cordoned off.

Among the troops and rescue vehicles gathered nearby, there were also chartered buses from Nakanoshima.

Xindi stayed in the hotel, thinking about the words of Criminal Police Officer Li Changgeng, thinking about the two men, Meng Zheng and Lei Yujian, and the two roads in front of him. Which of these two paths can make you happy, or do they both lead to the place called the mausoleum, or your own tomb?

As the sun sets, the street turns orange-red. Manager Liang called over and said in a respectful tone: "The evening is arranged, please get ready." ”

"Won't Lei Yujian come?" After returning from Nakanoshima, Hinty hadn't seen him yet, and she was a little flustered.

"I don't have to tell him anymore."

"Well, I can go at any time."

"Good. I asked the attendant to show you the way, and the car was ready. ”

It wasn't long before the waiter knocked on the door, and Hindy led her to the parking lot. On the side of the wall was a familiar black chartered car. The light gradually dimmed, and when Xindi walked into the car, she glanced at the driver's small badge pinned to her chest, and Manager Liang sat in the back seat and greeted her.

"I'll meet that person tonight."

"Somehow met."

"I'm a little nervous."

"It's not like you."

"You didn't introduce me to me, I don't know him at all."

"You'll see, he's a pretty kind guy. Still, the way you look nervous will make him like it. ”

"Ah, that doesn't comfort me at all."

"It's not the time to worry about it, you just have to stay in the right shape."

"Okay." She felt a little dry mouth inexplicably, and licked her lips gently.

The car still drove into Nakanoshima like last time, passed through the luxury residential area and entered a deep house in the shade, walked forward two or three hundred meters after passing the gate, Manager Liang signaled the driver to go around the side door from the left path, and the housekeeper Xindi met last time was already waiting there.

Manager Liang got out of the car to greet the housekeeper, handed Xindi to her, and then turned around and disappeared into the path in the other direction.

"Come with me." The housekeeper took Hindy's hand and led her into the mansion.

Even with the side doors, the foyer and hallway are very spacious, and the décor is elegant and sophisticated, which makes Hindy feel very chic. Many of the arms middlemen she came into contact with were nouveau riche, and the places she was invited to were all full of splendid flowers. Mr. Fu's mansion is a quiet and mysterious feeling, and every corner is worth playing.

The housekeeper led her to another door next to her: "Please forgive me. Before you meet my master, you have to go take a bath. ”

"Take a bath? Right away. ”

"I'll take you to the bathroom, the toiletries and clothes are ready." The tone was indiscible, and Xindi had no choice but to follow her. The bathroom is completely different from the quaint style just now, from the tiles to the mirror, there is no dirt at all, as if it has just been renovated and carefully cleaned, which is very comfortable. After the housekeeper turned to leave, Hindy locked the door from the inside and looked around.

The bathroom is a completely enclosed space, with a dressing room next to it. Feeling a little uneasy, she looked around to see if there was a place to install a monitor, and to see which holes might be used for voyeurism. After being busy for a long time and not finding anything, Hindy always felt like she was being watched by others. There was a mirror on the wall that caught her attention, and she walked over and touched it lightly with her hand, barely feeling the thickness of the mirror.

Although he was a little uncomfortable, since the other party wanted to see it so much, he simply let him watch it well.

She raised her hands to unbutton the collar and slowly took off the skirt and then her underwear, slowly.

The hot water at the right temperature washed down, and the bathroom was foggy. Xindi felt the other party's prying eyes, and simply let it go, changing various postures, like a butterfly in the fog.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and it was the housekeeper: "Please open the door, I'll bring the clothes in." ”

She was naked, and her body was still steaming, and she went to the door and opened a crack to take the clothes, which was a custom-made modified tight-fitting cheongsam, brand new. Xindi dried the water on her body, sorted it up and down and began to try on clothes, the whole cheongsam fit very well, obviously specially sewn according to her figure.

Xindi got dressed and walked out of the bathroom. When the housekeeper saw her, her eyes also showed appreciation: "Very good." ”

"Then, what do I need to do?"

"Just talk to my master."

"Is it just chatting?"

"Yes. My master stays in the house all day, you tell him about the outside world, just don't let him get bored. ”

"Is it past now?"

"Nope. The host has a temporary visitor today, and I will take you to the side to wait. ”

Hindy followed the housekeeper to another room, which was equally plain and tidy. The housekeeper asked her to sit down, and then turned away.

In another side building symmetrical to the room, there are also people waiting, they are the staff of the Southern Theater of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Army and several members of the Asia Coordination Committee, as well as the leaders and technicians of the Komaki Minami Factory.

Suddenly it started to rain in Osaka.

Criminal police officer Li Changgeng stayed in a dilapidated hotel, reading news and information with the gentle sound of rain. As Xindi said, his old partner Liu Shan has been killed, but the news is really inconspicuous, and now the media is more concerned about the fall of a fighter jet in the west of the city. Criminal Police Li also received a special piece of information from his own informant channel, that an operational staff officer of the air defense unit of the Liberal People's Army had suddenly disappeared. In his opinion, this staff officer is expected to be used as a scapegoat to bear the responsibility for the ineffective air defense, so that the crash of the fighter plane is also an accidental mercenary break-in. As for the bigger secret, it is still in the hands of Mr. Fu.

The opponent is just too strong.

Every time this huge gap brings frustration to himself, he imagines an intimate encounter with Xindi in his mind, and he tries to reinvigorate his spirits.

Now, except for waiting for the news that the woman brought the mausoleum, the other breaches were sealed. Judging by his current investigation, only two other directions can be reached. The first one is Manager Liang, who has some kind of very close connection with Mr. Fu. Li Changgeng has checked this person, he belongs to the Nanyang Trading Group, the background of the Central Mainland Expeditionary Force, this person's name and company are real, can be checked, there is no suspicion. There is only one piece of information worth paying attention to: Manager Liang was stationed in Goguryeo with his troops during the First Sino-Japanese War, which belonged to the garrison of the northern royal capital.

"The Northern King's Capital Garrison Troops", Li Changgeng looked at the information, this was the volunteer team that reinforced the Golden Frog King that year, the soldiers did not carry the rank of the Central Continental Army, did not deserve the military emblem, and there were many secrets in the relationship between subordination and command. This man deserves to continue investigating.

As for the other person, it is naturally Lei Yujian, who retired behind the scenes.

Before Lei Yujian took over the Maleria Air Defense Force, his resume can be said to be blank, and there is no valid information to be found except that he had joined the army and was a pilot. How did Lei Yujian and Manager Liang meet, are they partners in military and political business?

In the dark, Li Changgeng realized that there was some kind of connection. Although Lei Yujian's details are not clear, he is a comrade-in-arms who was attacked, and Detective Li boldly speculated that the two had served together, which means that Lei Yujian had also been to the northern royal capital. Thinking that the first time the Hundred Days Ghost got out of control was in the Northern Royal Capital, he felt that he was only one step away from the answer.

The clues connected by all this are: the hundred day ghosts, the northern royal capital, and the mausoleum.

However, what role does the woman play in this? As long as she appeared in her mind, Li Changgeng's brain was a mess again. Things are changing rapidly, and if you slack off a little, you will be thrown off immediately. He pulled himself together and turned on the TV, wanting to relax.

The screen showed news footage of the crash site filmed by a helicopter, the scene was eerie, the trees next to it were crushed, the fire had just been extinguished, the land was scorched black, and the wreckage of the fighter had been burned to a grayish-white color like leftovers, the color of death. There were a lot of people walking around next to the wreckage, as if searching for something.

As a criminal policeman, Li Changgeng felt that something was wrong. The personnel at the scene were not uniformed, neither firefighters nor members of the Liberal People's Army, nor were rescue or medical personnel present. Why are there so many people in civilian clothes at the crash site. His eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw several black chartered cars parked next to the wreckage site, exactly the same as the one that took Xindy yesterday, and the people in civilian clothes probably belonged to the Reva Club.

Lei Yujian, Manager Liang, and Mr. Fu, who is the right target, Li Changgeng wants to clarify the direction of the investigation, and can only wait to see what Xindi will find in Mr. Fu's mansion.

For the answer, it didn't matter if he lost his life, he had made up his mind.
