Chapter 140: The Rich Woman's Ambition

Fu Ji Xianli has nothing to spend money in this life, and he is actually not a bad person, so he doesn't attach much importance to the so-called bounty, but he can also understand Mazhong Aoi's mood of wanting to get the bounty...... Who doesn't expect to win the lottery?

People always have to eat, and only people who do not lack material conditions will say that they have no material pursuits.

And since Aoi is looking forward to it, then Fu Ji Xianli decided to accompany her to act, after all, Sister Aoi is a good teacher on his life path, since he realized a more peculiar world, she has taught him a lot of strange, useful or useless knowledge, and also helped him a lot.

In fact, these two people are a "two-person action team".

So that night, the two of them went to the "organization's" base in Tokyo at the agreed time, which was the old two-story building.

After coming here, Fu Ji Xianli found that the situation was really the same as Zhenzhong Aoi had guessed before, and there were indeed many people coming this time...... It's just that it's hard to say whether they came for everyone's safety, eliminating security threats, and jointly maintaining the harmony of the "supernatural society", or simply for the bounty.

"The people are almost here, so let me tell you about the matter...... For members who did not come to the scene, the news will spread in other ways later.

I believe you already know the reason for convening everyone this time. Because there is a dangerous person who has been operating around Tokyo, and his actions have become more and more unscrupulous as time has passed, many people have died at his hands so far, and until now, the organization can no longer ignore him.

We cannot continue to allow the other side to behave recklessly......"

The person who presided over the speech in front was still the "vice president" Mr. Sakuraba, and now he said that the organization has begun to face up to the threat of "puppeteers".

For an organization, continuing to let that kind of person go would not only pose a considerable threat to its members, but more importantly, if the "puppeteer" caused any large-scale riots, it would likely expose the entire organization and "mysterious people" like them to the public eye.

So Fu Jixian's ideal question is, why did you go earlier? Why not act sooner and nip the threat in the bud?

The above is holding a meeting, and Fu Jixian is holding a small meeting with Zhenzhong Aoi below:

"Sister Aoi, do you think this counts as an illegal assembly?"

The conference room was as crowded as a sardine can, and Fu Jixian thought there were about a hundred people here.

"It doesn't matter, listen carefully to the content of Mr. Vice President's speech, and don't interrupt."

Fu Jixian felt that neither the person who spoke nor the words he said were quite insignificant, but Manaka Aoi was listening carefully with a very serious attitude...... Well, it's probably not because she's so good at dealing with organizations.

Fu Jixian turned his head sideways to look at her expression, how to say it, Sister Kui probably wanted to hear the vice president say the reward amount with her own ears, otherwise if this matter was fake, wouldn't she be excited in vain?

Personally, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was a bit of a problem with the change in the attitude of the organization, and that this kind of organization with a loose overall structure would be so unexpectedly surrounding the life and death of its members? Fu Jixian felt that it only needed to care about the safety of the real core members.

The organization didn't care much about the actions of the "puppeteer" before, which was more in line with Fu Jixian's expectations, and the last time Mr. Vice President was able to remind everyone to pay attention to the threat in this regard, it must be regarded as a "flood of good intentions". And now that the organization is suddenly going to deal with the "puppeteer", and even comes up with a large amount of money for it, I always feel that this change is a bit abrupt.

Although the reason for the puppeteer to start more frequent activities is a reason, there is still a sense of disobedience...... I feel that people who are in the field of occultism and engaged in occult research should not care much about the lives of other people, and the "organization" is an ancient organization, and it should be more indifferent in nature.

Therefore, Fu Jixian felt that something should have happened in the middle, which prompted the organization's attitude towards this matter to change...... Or maybe the "puppeteer" accidentally killed an important person in the "organization"?

While thinking, Fu Jixian silently retreated outside the conference room, and this noisy occasion interfered with his train of thought.

Fortunately, Mr. Vice President did not force the door to close this time, so Fu Jixianli successfully slipped out, and then after going out, he stretched out first...... Well, thinking or not thinking is secondary, the main thing is that he doesn't want to continue to stay in that kind of situation, and it's true that he wants to come out and breathe.

"I don't know if Yu Jihua is still here......

Since most of the people were concentrated in the conference room, Fu Jixian didn't find anyone else in the hallway, he thought as he wandered around.

Speaking of which, until now, he has no contact information about Yu Jihua, because Yu Jihua himself is more mysterious.

And just as he was thinking so, when the person just walked to the staircase, You Jihua held the handrail of the staircase with both hands and stretched his neck to poke his head out from it.

Fu Jixianli: "Forehead ......"

This shouldn't be a coincidence, is it "telepathy", or is it Yu Jihua's perceptual ability?

"Brother Lee."

You Jihua greeted Fu Jixianli, and then beckoned him to go upstairs.

Fu Ji Xianli followed up the stairs, and then he found that the woman who had been following You Jihua was behind her at this time.

To take care of her? Protect her? Or surveillance and control her? I guess it's both.

When Fu Jixian walked up the stairs, he found that the roof of the building was a rooftop with a glass conservatory on it, and the outside of the conservatory was covered with wooden shelves that were still evergreen in winter.

Inside the conservatory are some rattan chairs, low tables and other utensils, not to mention, it looks quite leisurely and elegant.

"Yu Jihua, doesn't it matter if you show up at this time? Shouldn't it be hidden for safety? ”

Fu Jixian still remembers the last time he came here, he encountered someone who tried to attack Yu Jihua, her identity is relatively special, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be someone in the crowd who will try to disadvantage her...... There are a lot more people coming this time than last time.

"Normally it should be hidden, but it doesn't matter, the situation is under control...... The reason for this rally was different from the last one. You Jihua said.

The woman nodded at Fu Jixianli, then didn't say anything, and then stood at the top of the stairs.

"Brother Li, come over here."

You Jihua pulled Fu Jixianli forward, she didn't go to the greenhouse, but ran directly to the bottom of the vine shelf.

"Do me a favor, I want to take the thing off top."

Fu Jixian looked up and looked in the direction that You Jihua was pointing at, and then he saw that two mushrooms seemed to grow on a dark beam of the shelf.

Well? Mushroom picking?

Fu Jixian compared the distance, and then reached out to support You Jihua's armpit and lifted her up...... He must be able to get it himself, even if his arm span is not enough, there are tentacles, but he is not the one who wants to pick mushrooms, and he can't deprive others of the fun.

Soon, You Jihua picked the mushrooms on it, and Fu Ji Xianli put her back on the ground.

You Jihua began to "admire" the mushrooms in his hand, while Fu Jixianli fell silent for a while...... Just when he lifted Yu Jihua up and felt her weight, he noticed something abnormal.

Yu Jihua's armpits have an uneven hard texture, as if he has touched a handful of glass marbles.

This seems to be a kind of alienation, Fu Jixian ideally says something or asks what is going on, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to be easy to say.

Yu Jihua put the mushrooms into the greenhouse, walked out and walked to the edge of the rooftop, and propped his hands on the low wall on the edge.

"You don't plan to eat the mushrooms you picked up, do you? It's better not to, who knows if it will be poisonous mushrooms. ”

Fu Ji Xianli followed and walked over, and then said this.

"No, how can the fungi grown in this environment be poisonous." Yu Jihua retorted.

Fu Jixian said that children are really young, do you know how many people are sent to the hospital every year because of fungus poisoning? But this question doesn't need to be ...... That mushroom really doesn't look like a poisonous mushroom.

Speaking of which, You Jihua has never talked about relatives, parents, or hometown and the like, maybe it's because Fu Jixianli has had relatively little contact with her, and the two sides have only met a few times in total.

Because of the height of the floor, there is only a breeze on this rooftop, and there is definitely no such thing as "very windy", and even if you jump from here, you will not fall to death...... So this rooftop is a good rooftop.

Next, You Jihua lay here quietly for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, the high-rise buildings outside, the sides of the complex roads of the modern city, the cars, and other things began to light up.

At this time, I saw You Jihua suddenly stretch out his hand and point down, and then said, "Brother Li, do you know, this is my room below." ”

“…… I didn't know it just now, but now I know. ”

"That's good."

“……”

Fu Jixian's mind was full of question marks, what are you talking about at night? Calm down, you're just a kid.

Yu Jihua smiled and didn't say anything more. This kind of words that suddenly came out of nowhere, and it felt like she was saying it with some kind of purpose.

Then the lights in the small building were completely lit up, and the crowd poured out.

"It seems that the matter is over, Brother Li, I guess someone is looking for you at this time, right?"

"Oh, that's right." Fu Jixian reacted, he was leaked out just now, so he said goodbye to You Jihua, and then left the rooftop.

Compared with the last conversation full of organization and purpose, when Fu Jixianli met You Jihua this time, he felt that what she said was a little clueless.

After going downstairs, Fu Ji Xianli quickly found Manaka Aoi.

"Lijun, where did you go?"

"Come out and breathe...... How's that going? ”

Aoi Manaka nodded decisively, and then said, "Including the bounty, everything is true, so the next question is very simple...... It's nothing more than how to catch that 'puppeteer'. ”

What is this called, what is "the problem is simple", shouldn't this part be the most difficult part?

"Anyway, let's go back and talk about it in more detail." Fu Jixian said.

…………

Aoi really took this as a serious matter, so the two chose to go to her residence after leaving the small building, and then they had to explore some specific "actions and arrest plans" and other things in detail.

After coming to Manaka Aoi's house, she had already taken out a paper map as soon as she landed, and several circles had already been circled on that map.

"This is the location of some of the crimes related to the puppeteer incident counted by the 'organization', I don't know if I can see some clues from it."

Fu Jixian said that he was going to work now, and I felt a little hungry if I didn't eat dinner at night.

In desperation, he could only cast his gaze on the loose dots on the map...... Frankly speaking, there should be no valuable information based on such simple information.

The map shows only the locations of the incidents, not even the order in which they occurred, and the distribution of the points is very messy, and there is no pattern at all.

"If there is any valuable information or laws that are worth paying attention to......

After staring at the map for a while, Fu Ji Xianli spoke.

"What? Lee, did you find anything? Aoi Manaka immediately asked.

Sister Kwai is really still very interested, Fu Jixian suddenly had an idea, for example, there is no need for any reward, how about he directly pay her 40 million as a "contract fee"?

But wouldn't it be a bit of a loss to spend so much money on a barren piece of land?

"Li-kun?"

"Huh? Ah, what I found was that ...... 'puppeteer' was supposed to be from Tokyo, after all, the location of the crime was in Tokyo. ”

“…… Nonsense. ”

It's hard to say whether the other party is from Tokyo or not, but there is no doubt that the "puppeteer" is hiding in Tokyo, so is it necessary to bring it up specifically?

"Ahem, he's only active in Tokyo, or is it possible that he's stuck in Tokyo and can't get out of here for a long time or something? Otherwise, wouldn't he understand the simple truth of three holes in the cunning rabbit and one shot to change places? Fu Jixian added.

"That's what it says...... Can't you leave Tokyo due to objective conditions? ”

Manaka Aoi tries to think about it from this aspect, but there is no way, there are still too few clues.

"Anyway, let's check the clues first."

With that, she left the living room, and then returned with a laptop in her hand.

She then went to the internal website that her "peers" used to exchange information, to see if there was any valuable information on it.

Because of the organization's start of action and the bounty, the website is full of discussions about "puppeteers", but Aoi Manaka doesn't seem to find any valuable information.

Looking at Zhenzhong Aoi's movements, Fu Ji Xianli had another idea.

"Sister Aoi, lend me the computer."

After Zanaka Kui handed the notebook to Fu Ji Xianli, I saw him post immediately:

"I've met him twice, and after getting in touch, I have a valuable piece of information to share with you - you can try to go to the hospital to find clues.

As for the more detailed identity of the other party, my companion and I have already speculated, but after all, it involves the issue of bounty, so it is inconvenient to go into detail here. ”

Fu Jixian remembered the two "limbs" that the puppeteer had broken by himself at sea, and he felt that the injury should not be easy to recover, after all, not everyone can regenerate tentacles as quickly as him.

Or is it that the reason the puppeteer doesn't leave Tokyo is that he needs to be treated locally? Is his health insurance card Tokyo?

It is obvious that this news of Fu Jixian's haircut is not for sharing intelligence, but for fishing.

And unexpectedly......

Although his speculation was completely wrong, because he said it very vaguely, and it happened to be the personal information of the puppeteer, so the crooked hit really had the effect of fishing.
