As the night fell, the light dimmed, and the rain began to fall again, crackling the siding. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

"I didn't expect to find this photo. I can't remember it myself. Meng Bang gently pinched a print, the moisture made it curl a little, and the corner protector was curled. This was discovered by Chloe when he first came to the Upper Tang base.

"This is the Seven Aces of the First Sino-Japanese War." He pondered for a moment at the photo, "Everyone looked so young at that time, and the flight suits were old-fashioned. To my left, standing in the middle is Qiao Fu, codenamed Sea Shark, the only carrier-based aircraft pilot among the Seven Aces. He is also the oldest. I call him Uncle Qiao, his waist is not too good, and his back is a little hunched. During the interview, the reporter felt that he was not energetic enough, and he was embarrassed to correct him, so he moved a chair and asked an older person to sit in the front. He lost his temper at the reporter because of this, and the base leaders persuaded him for a long time before stopping. ”

"Okay, let's get to the bottom of it today!" She walked out the door and hugged the watchboard in, picked up a sponge wipe to wipe the schedule clean. He turned around and snatched the photo from Meng Bang's hand, tapped it on the shiny whiteboard, and then began to compile a list of events as the news agency would do, "If it doesn't end, I'm going crazy." Tonight, I want to know everything about you, and don't hide anything from me. ”

It could be seen that Chloe was trying to make an excited appearance, but she was actually very sad. I don't want to see her like this, so I have to follow her to face it: that night, I was with Qiao Hongyu, Qiao Fu committed suicide, what is the truth. This past haunts me, I have too many questions, and I feel out of breath every time I think about it. Now that there is Chloe, it is also possible to calmly sort it out.

"But who will clean the hangar tomorrow, your name will be wiped by you." Li Qi said.

"What does it matter. When the whole thing is over, there will be a celebration here, why clean. She yelled.

"Okay. It's up to you. ”

Chloe took a colored pen and marked the name and code name of the Seven Aces of the First Day in the blank space next to the photo, which she knew by heart. But she didn't know anything about anyone else, except for the blows. Chloe sobbed softly before she said, "Qiao Fu, apart from his daughter Qiao Hongyu, what about his family?" ”

"I saw him when I was a child, but I didn't see his other family members during the Hundred Days Ghost Project. He was the only one of the seven aces who had a family, and he divorced just after the war, and I don't know why. I didn't feel it at the time, anyway, the seven aces were like each other and family, plus there were so many people in the base. He is the oldest in the Qingshui trial base, even the political commissar is very young, and everyone treats him as an elder. Maybe I grew up playing with Qiao Hongyu when I was a child, and he always treated me as a child. The entire 100-day ghost engineering team is a big, big family. ”

His tone was lower, "I really miss him, I've never seen anyone like him again." He may be the elder, but he can talk to us young people. As for the other five big brothers in the Seven Aces, I couldn't join their circle, they always overwhelmed me. Uncle Qiao helped me a lot, and the other person was Kurchatov, and the two old men often pulled me, and the other five gradually accepted me. I appreciate that. ”

"Is there anything special in between?"

"Nope. The days went by like this. ”

"Hmm, really? You can't hide anything from me tonight. Chloe pouted, her eyes reddening.

"Even if there were, it didn't matter."

"Okay. I'll let you go for now. Chloe turned her head sharply, her platinum blonde hair flicking up. She marked the timeline on the whiteboard, "No matter, the next thing is the Hundred Days Ghost incident." The Goguryeo and Ripon archipelago were almost completely destroyed. Of course, the defense line of the former United States and the entire Allies also completely evaporated. In short, the war ends here. ”

Meng Struck looked at the time clue: "No problem at all. After the outbreak of the Hundred Day Ghosts, it didn't take long for the war to end. It's not a special time. It's just that our extended family is divided. ”

"Split? Why? ”

"It's easy to say, whether the Hundred Days Ghost is right or wrong, the base is divided into factions for this, and that is when I am most uncomfortable. Uncle Qiao is the only one among the seven trump cards who opposes the continued development of the Hundred Day Ghost, and he opposes it to an extremely extreme degree, even to the headquarters of the expeditionary force. I supported him because I agreed with him, and I met with the big leaders of the Ministry of Industry and even the Central Committee for this. To be honest, I don't even know each other. ”

"I don't understand. It was Qiao Fu who strongly opposed the development of the Hundred Days Ghost, why did the big boss want to see you? Do you want to convince Qiao Fu. Li Qi asked.

"On the contrary, on behalf of Uncle Qiao, I will clarify the opinions of the villains."

"Why didn't he say it himself?"

"Personality, he doesn't throw off the big leader, maybe that's how he can play with us young people. When Uncle Qiao was at his most extreme, he didn't see any leaders, so he just sent his opinions to the central government. I was so annoyed that I wanted to go back to the front several times. How pleasant it is to kill the enemy directly, what's the point of making trouble in the nest. ”

"Is that when the Hundred Days got out of control?"

"It's not. The whooping ghost is out of control and has nothing to do with the task force. After all, it is defined as something more over-the-top than nuclear weapons, and the development phase is very low-key, during which the task force is separated from the military. The Hundred Days Ghost was delivered to the Air Force for a trial. ”

"Sounds like you don't care much." Li Qi said.

"I just want to fly, fight in the air. At first, I thought it was to develop a new generation of fighters, and I went all out. Who would have thought that the Hundred Days Ghost turned out to be an automatic retaliation system, an ****** artificial intelligence. It's not that kind of thing I want to do. The battle has already been won, so why escalate. ”

"You're right, it's definitely another problem that we're going to solve." Chloe jotted down the words of the attack and marked a question mark next to it.

He also picked up the pen, walked over to Chloe, and dotted a red dot on the timeline: "Up to here, the engineering team has been idle. ”

"It's you who have nothing to do."

"Okay, Li. It's me who has nothing to do. I submitted several applications to be transferred to the front-line troops, but they were not approved. ”

"It's normal, the Hundred Days Ghost is still experimenting." Chloe calmed down somewhat.

"The battle is over, and the team is leaving. First, I didn't want to hinder the post-war reconstruction, and of course, the more important reason was that the disaster caused by the whooping ghost really made the people in the vicinity unable to relax, so the entire experimental engineering team was disbanded, and the backbone forces and prototypes were transferred overseas, which was Osaka. Nominally subject to international scrutiny and sharing the results together. Everyone knows what happened later, the Treaty of Osaka still had to be signed, and the Hyakini had to be completely destroyed. ”

She writes and strokes on the whiteboard, and her handwriting pulls out a large spider-web-like diagram of clues, which is a habit at the newspaper. Sometimes news reporting is like solving a crime, putting forward hypotheses, tracing and verifying, the process is the same. When she was done, she bit her pen and pondered.

"After the war, the engineering team moved to Osaka, and the Hyakini project was made public." She read softly, clearing her mind, "Then we will sign a treaty and completely destroy the Hundred Day Ghost." Qiao Fu had an accident during this time, which day was it? ”

"A week before Treaty Day."

"Did he have any special circumstances before the accident? For example, acting strangely, nervous, or something. ”

"Not really. But the mood is very low. ”

"Why?"

"The team said that his wife died of illness in China, and I think there may be a reason for this. At that time, Nippon was in a high-pressure period of military management, and he could not return to China. One more thing, I don't know if it has anything to do with it. The participants of the Hundred Days Ghost Project were all reinstated after the war, but Qiao Fu did not. His identity is vague and he has been treated as a refugee several times in Osaka. Qiao Hongyu always avoided her, I really should have persuaded her at that time. ”

"In this way, no one will be surprised if Qiao Fu commits suicide."

Meng Zhu was noncommittal, just sighed, and then said slowly, "Chloe, a sentence that I often heard when I was very young, and you must have heard it, is that each of us is willing to be a screw in society. It's about dedication, it's about dedication. It is this kind of thinking that allows our social system to function at maximum efficiency and ensure rapid development. But nothing is set in stone, and the system is changing. When I was a kid, I thought that adults were smart enough to keep their rational numbness, and they knew that the system they were in had changed, and that they could become bad and evil, and they could become very evil. But this kind of evil is systematic, and everyone has no sense of guilt. Evil becomes a matter of course. This kind of atmosphere overwhelms me, and even I feel that life is hopeless. ”

"The vicious system you mentioned, we have more say in this regard." As a reporter for the Daily News, Chloe has seen a lot more than she has been hit.

"Qiao Fu is a screw who sticks to his principles, and no matter how big a person is, it is impossible to influence him. Any evil system machine will never be able to function if it is a part. ”

"I understand. If the machine has a lot of power, such a part will break. Chloe looked at Meng Zheng and put her hand on his shoulder, "I didn't think Qiao Fu was suicidal from the beginning. ”

Meng Zhu nodded.

She asked, "Did he go anywhere or meet anyone before the accident?" ”

"When you say that, I think of a strange thing."

"Oh?"

"Uncle Qiao...... I don't think he's alone, I remember a big guy who had a relationship with him. ”

"Who is it?"

"I don't know who it is. During my stay in Osaka, Uncle Qiao often went to a place, but I didn't know where it was, but I hadn't been there. I heard that there was a big man who was very supportive of him and often invited him to be a guest. ”

"The big man of Osaka, who else can it be." Li Qian continued.

Chloe was also excited, squatted in front of Meng's knee, and looked up at him: "If there is anything else you can think of, tell me quickly." ”

"I don't know who it is, but it's a big show. Those guys are pretending, and the badge on their chest is very special, and the words written are ...... Revwa. ”

"What's that big guy's last name?"

"The surname is Fu, probably that sound."

"That's right." Chloe stood up and marked on the clue diagram on the whiteboard, "The big guy you said is Mr. Fu from the Reva Chamber of Commerce." This is a commercial association that started with wartime trade and monopolized the entire Pacific Rim after the war. Even the formation of the Japan-state coalition government was controlled by the Reva Society. She took out her phone, "To get to know Mr. Fu from the RevwaClub, I know who to turn to." ”

Being able to find a breakthrough, the dark clouds in Chloe's heart finally dispersed a little, but she forgot about the danger. For her, as long as she finds out what Qiao Fu, the seventh ace of the First Five-Year War, did to Mr. Fu before he died, and why he died, she can untie the knot in Meng Zheng's heart about this matter, and she doesn't have to worry about the ghost harassing her again. But at that time, no one would have thought that she was opening a dangerous mausoleum.
