The room was empty, Reuben was not there, and a living person had vanished into thin air......

"Strange, where did this guy go?" Heavy punches can't figure it out, it's clear that Ruben has appeared here, but he disappeared inexplicably, because the hotel only keeps the surveillance images for seven days, so they can't see the previous footage, which means that they can't be sure when Ruben left at all, and it can be seen from the surveillance images that can be obtained at least a week ago.

"At least he was still there when he was on the phone with Manion, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to locate him, and he should have left in five days, and in five days only one unknown person left the room, and then no one came in or out, which obviously doesn't make sense." "What's the problem?" ”

"This is the 33rd floor, and it's impossible to leave from anywhere else, unless he's Spider-Man and can fly up the wall." Heavy Punch said to himself.

The ghost thought for a while and analyzed: "Judging from the occupancy records, the occupancy rate here is not low, but as a membership-based hotel, it does not rely on the number of guests to go around, and the vast majority of rooms are outsourced, even if they are full, there will not be too many activities, and Ruben has no chance to mix out." ”

"Could it be that someone has manipulated the surveillance system and created the illusion that he has disappeared?" Worm said suddenly.

"Theoretically, it is technically achievable, but it is very difficult, and it is unrealistic to process a week's worth of surveillance images and remove the impact of only one person." Alpha said.

The ghost also shook his head: "There is no practical value, if Reuben is so careful, he might as well hide in another place, there is no need to stay here and be afraid." ”

"Now we have no other clues other than the man who left the room, and trying to find him is basically an impossible task." "Send a screenshot of that person's face to Bruce and other channels to confirm his identity." ”

"Yes, it's been forwarded." Alpha said.

Reuben is indeed not ordinarily cautious, this may be the closest they have come to him during the entire investigation, but this guy has not shown up from beginning to end, and even suddenly disappeared without a trace for some reason, which really makes them puzzled.

"What the." The worm scolded.

Everyone knew that this situation was impossible, but it just happened, they all knew very well that there must be something hidden in the middle that they didn't understand, but they hadn't found a reasonable explanation yet, they were all people who had experienced strong winds and waves, and they had seen a lot of strange things, perhaps because there was a missing link in their investigation that they hadn't noticed yet.

"What's next?" The ghost asks for a punch.

"Keep monitoring this place until new clues are found, there is a possibility that Ruben will return." Punch pulled up a screenshot of the face of the man who came out of Reuben's room and said, "Go check where this person is." ”

In the replay of the building's surveillance system, they found that the man had left in a black car after leaving the house, but Alpha still couldn't enter Tokyo's traffic surveillance system, so there was no way to trace the car's whereabouts.

Soon, Bruce and other channels fed back information, and there were no clues related to this person, and they couldn't confirm his identity and coming, although they all knew that this person must have a lot to do with him when he came out of Reuben's room, and they also knew that finding this person could grasp clues related to Reuben, and even find him directly, but now they have no way.

"Also, I got a new situation, Ruben is indeed in Tokyo and will most likely leave in another week, so you don't have much time." Bruce said.

"Where did you get all this information reliable?" Heavy punch expresses suspicion, this kind of intelligence is too marginal for you to say that he is useless, but other substantial value is really not much.

"You can rest assured that my information is absolutely accurate, this is information obtained by accident, he met and had a brief conversation with one of my connections in Tokyo two days ago, and it is from that person that I got my news from." Bruce said.

"It's harder to find him in such a big city than to find a needle in a haystack, not to mention that it's only a few days." The ghost said.

"You can use your connections." Bruce said meaningfully to the punches, "Like some old relationships." ”

The ghost didn't understand and asked him what he meant, and Bruce just smiled, didn't explain, and ended the call.

"Why didn't I understand?" The ghost looked at the heavy punch and the insect on the side, and the insect was also at a loss, but the heavy punch didn't say a word.

The ghost shook his head and ignored the question, instead saying, "The person who walks out of Ruben's room is the only option we have at the moment, but finding this person is probably just as difficult as finding Ruben. ”

Heavy Punch sighed, "You continue to monitor, I'll think of a way." ”

In the puzzled gaze of the two, Heavy Punch left alone, and drove to the headquarters of the largest local society, Yoshikawakai, to be honest, he didn't want to ask for the ghost, but now he really has no other way, the operation to track down Ruben is in a bottleneck, if the ghost can use the power of the gang to help him find it, it will greatly increase the possibility of success, but will the ghost help himself? He wasn't sure.

In the lobby of the Yoshikawakai headquarters, Heavy Punch saw the ghost again, the difference was that the ghost was no longer the brother he used to be, but the leader of the largest local society.

At the beginning, the military doctor followed and Ben. Allen agreed to help the ghost and punch out Martin, but the two of them were also imprisoned, and got out in different ways, the ghost had nowhere to go after he was free, and he went back to stay with his wife and children in despair, and at that time, the Yoshikawa Society was fighting with the other two societies and was beaten to pieces, and the then president Nakamura was unable to support it at all, and Yuichi Kawaguchi, who had retired, was forced to go out of the mountain again to lead the gang, and the ghost, the son-in-law of the president, naturally had to help, so he emerged in this chaotic confrontation, In the life-and-death struggle, he took over the entire gang step by step, and then began to purge and exclude some of the heavyweights in the gang that excluded him, killing nearly 100 people one after another, including some opponents and Nakamura followers, Yuichi Kawaguchi acquiesced to his actions, and after more than a year of hard work, he finally completely controlled the entire gang and doubled the territory, so far, the other gangs are already powerless to threaten the existence of the Yoshikawa Society.

The corners of the mouth of the heavy punch were still bleeding, it was the ghost's greeting gift to him, he didn't fight back, the ghost swung away and only the two of them were left in the subordinate room.

"I want to kill you." The ghost sat on the couch and watched the punch on the other side.

"You can take my life at any time, but you have to do me a favor before then." Heavy punches also looked at the ghost.

"Help? Why? The ghost sneered.

"Let's make a deal." "You do me a favor, I'll help the griffin get back on his feet." ”

"Could it be that you let his broken leg grow again?" The ghost didn't believe his words at all.

"I gave him the best prosthetic leg in the world and restored at least 70 percent of his leg function." Heavy punch said.

The ghost frowned, he was weighing whether the words of the heavy punch were credible, the griffin had been with him since he was injured, and the reason why he didn't go home was because he didn't want his family to see him now, he not only broke a leg but also disfigured, although his arm was saved, and he also had plastic surgery, but his current state can really be described beyond recognition, he didn't want his family to see it, so he kept hiding from the ghost.

To be honest, the relationship between the three of them was the best in the "Black Blood" back then, although the entire "Black Blood" ceased to exist after that big turmoil, and few people survived in the end, but the three of them persevered to the end, but the griffin was the worst of them.

"Can you really help in standing up? I've also helped the group get a lot of prosthetics, but to be honest, even I'm not satisfied. The ghost looked at the punch suspiciously.

"Do I have to lie to you?" Heavy punches also looked at the ghost.

"You've been deceived." The ghost said coldly, "You're no longer in the ranks I can trust, you've disappointed me so much. ”

"I promise, but it takes time for things to move." Chongquan said that in fact, what he was talking about was a part of the self-propelled robot developed by the doctor, and the doctor once mentioned that this kind of research can not only meet the research of upright walking robots, but also provide wounded soldiers with prostheses that are closer to the human body's own functions.

"Then wait until your stuff arrives." The ghost lights a cigarette.

"I only have a few days, I just want you to help me find someone." "This deal is a good deal, you can give orders from many of your subordinates, if you can't find your people, then I can't do anything." ”

"What's the matter?" The ghost asked.

Heavy Punch was happy in his heart, and it seemed that the ghost still planned to help: "You don't have to worry about this, I'm investigating one thing, this person is very important." ”

The ghost smoked and stared at the punch for a long time, "Okay. ”

Heavy Punch took out two photos and put them on the table: "Also, I want to meet the griffin!" ”

"Do you still have the face to see him?" The ghost said sarcastically.

"After all, I have been born and died together, and I have always wanted to see him, but you know that in many cases I can't help myself." Heavy punch said.

"Don't tell me that." The ghost waved his hand, "I'm not interested, and I don't want to hear it." ”

"Actually, there are some things that I can't explain, I don't know what to say about everything that happened in the past, except for sorry, but I can swear, I never thought about harming anyone, I treat you as brothers, and I always have." Heavy punches were a little excited.

"I can't stand it, don't mention any brothers to me, don't get close to me, say okay, it's just a deal, I can help you find someone, as for whether he wants to see you or not, I don't count." The ghost stood up, "Send off." ”

To be honest, the mood of the heavy punch is very complicated, every word of the ghost is like a knife in his heart, the ghost's performance makes him feel that this brother does not really want to break with him, but is still angry with him, and he is also very clear that the relationship between the two people is impossible to return to the previous state of talking about nothing, things are not people, they are no longer the same as they were back then.

A few hours later, he saw the griffon, whose face was much different from before, and the marks of the strong acid corrosion on his face were still there, and despite at least ten cosmetic repairs, it still left a heart-wrenching scar......
