Chapter 1128: Revisiting Duwang Town
After returning to the manor, Liu Xing, who was a little depressed, told Yin En and others what he had seen and heard, which scared Yin En to see if Ishikawa Ling had followed Watanabe Meteor to "learn badly".
"Liu Xing, don't think about it so much, this is the real Watanabe Meteor, but you have always regarded yourself as a Watanabe Meteor, so you feel that today's Watanabe Meteor is different from before." Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said: "Didn't you just say that Watanabe Meteor should have been an ambitious person, because he has been a fanatical believer of the King of Yellow since he was a child, so even if we don't establish the Yellow Cloth Worship, Watanabe Meteor will one day establish the Yellow Clothes Worship Sect by himself; The current situation is not bad for us, at least everything is still under control, Watanabe Meteor and his Yellow-clothed Sect are not yet to the point where they can be self-reliant, so as long as we do it properly, they shouldn't be holding us back during the Battle of Gongmu. β
"What if they do go to Tokyo and jump the cross lake with Tetsuya Honda?"
Ding Kun frowned and said: "If there is a fifty percent success rate, I think Watanabe Meteor will dare to accompany Tetsuya Honda to take this risk, after all, the Cross Lake may be filled in soon, or a cover will be added, and it will not be so easy to enter the Cross Lake again at that time; In addition, what Tetsuya Honda gave is too tempting, if what he said is true, then the things that the Luca clan hid in the cross lake are all killers, and they can be released to change the situation when the war is in full swing, or complete the lore, how much contribution can this get at that time? I think it should be no problem to rush straight into the top three. β
Ding Kun said this, pointed to himself and said: "One thing to say, I am also a little tempted now, if there is a sixty percent chance that I can go to Tokyo to get these things, and I can get out of the way, then I am personally willing to take this risk." β
"I agree, and I can set off overnight with a 50% success rate." Zhang Wenbing followed.
Liu Xing thought about it and felt that if there was a fifty percent success rate, then he was still willing to gamble.
"Okay, let's not think about these things, if we go to Tokyo now, the chance of being able to reach Tokyo smoothly is no more than 30%, as for the cross lake, there is a chance that there will be players from the public faction who will stay behind, because they also want to know the secrets of the cross lake, and they may have already gotten the relevant tasks, so we are full of calculations, and the probability of being able to succeed and retire is only less than 20%."
Zhang Jingxu got up and said, "Let's get back to the topic, should we go to Nagoya in advance?" If we want to go, we can prepare. β
Yin Eun nodded, and continued: "I've asked Miyin, they have already started to do the final assignment work, and if nothing else, they will start to take over the companies of the public faction within three days, so if we want to leave, we can pack our bags and leave today." β
After a show of hands, Liu Xing and the others unanimously passed the decision to leave for Nagoya today, so Liu Xing found Alice and Sonoda Akari after the meeting ended.
The work of convincing Alice is very smooth, because Alice, who knows the truth of the world, has already decided to follow Liu Xing around, as for Sonoda Akari, there is a little trouble, because Sonoda Akari is going to stay in Osaka to accompany Sawada Yain, after all, Sawada Yain, as the head of the Sawada family, must stay in Osaka to participate in various decisions of the samurai faction, unless the Sawada family is willing to give up his identity as one of the top ten forces and become an ordinary member of the samurai faction.
This is definitely impossible, so it is impossible for Sawada Yayin to follow Liu Xing and the others to Nagoya like this.
Of course, Liu Xing still respects Sonoda Juri's decision very much, and at the same time thinks that Sonoda Juri's decision is not bad, because Sawada Miyin does need someone to accompany her in Osaka, and Sonoda Juri is the best candidate, first of all, they met when they were in Ziwu City, and secondly, Sonoda Juri followed his group to Nagoya, in fact, there are not many things that can be done, and it is very dangerous... I have to say that Sonoda Akari is just an ordinary person.
So, when it was time to leave in the afternoon, only Sawada Yain and Sonoda Akari were left in the entire Sawada Manor, and Otomu Takuya, who had just returned to Osaka from Nara, and Midori Cotton Valley handed over the things they brought back to Sawada Yayin, and then followed Liu Xing and others to get into the car again.
As for what they brought back, Otomu Takuya also said that he didn't know anything, because the thing was in a small box that needed to be unlocked by a fingerprint, so unless he was planning to turn his face with Shimazu Nakano, they would not be able to open the box.
Therefore, although Liu Xing and the others were very curious, they could only honestly get in the car and start heading to Nagoya.
As for Watanabe Meteor and the Yellow Cloth Sect, they will leave after Liu Xing and the others have prepared everything in Nagoya, after all, if so many people go to Nagoya at once, I'm afraid they won't even be able to find a place to live.
However, Tetsuya Honda set off with Liu Xing and others in advance, because according to him, he also had a doppelganger in Nagoya to buy real estate.
It was still a smooth journey, and Liu Xing and others came to Nagoya smoothly.
Because the samurai faction had already thoroughly explored Nagoya, they handed over all the strongholds left by the public faction to their own people, so the Sawada family was assigned to a farm on the outskirts of Nagoya.
Despite the fact that the farm is located in the suburbs, its geographical location is still very important, because there is a direct road to the sea that passes through the farm, so the main role of the farm is to monitor the road so that enemies do not reach the coast of Nagoya by sea, and then enter the city of Nagoya through this road.
Of course, this road can go directly to the town of Duwang.
Speaking of Duwang Town, Liu Xing couldn't help but think of Mai Yuqiang.
After returning to normal, Mai Yuqiang went back to see his family, and then returned to the island country, but according to Matsui Yui, after Mai Yuqiang went back, he said that he wanted to go around the island country, so he left a note and left again, so now she doesn't know where Mai Yuqiang went.
But according to Matsui Yui's speculation, it is very likely that Mai Yuqiang returned to Duwang Town, because Matsui Yui found that Mai Yuqiang took a key, and this key should be related to Duwang Town.
But then again, Liu Xing remembered that Mai Yuqiang didn't give his house in Duwang Town to Dior, could it be that Mai Yuqiang had other houses in Duwang Town? Or did Mak Yuqiang suddenly regret giving the house to Dior?
Liu Xing suddenly felt as if he needed to go to Duwang Town, anyway, it was still quiet before the storm, and although the dark tide was turbulent on Nagoya's side, it was still calm on the surface.
Thinking of this, after Liu Xing cleaned up his room, he prepared to take Alice to Duwang Town together.
Don't get me wrong, the reason why Liu Xing only took Alice to Duwang Town was not because he wanted to enjoy the world of two people with Alice, but because Alice and Dior knew each other, but because they were in a hurry last time, Alice and Dior hadn't had time to meet properly, so Alice mentioned that she wanted to see Dior again.
As for the reason, it is related to Alice's father, or rather to the Scarlet Ghoul incident back then.
After Liu Xing completed the mod, the Scarlet Ghoul incident was solved, so Dio's wanted warrant was revoked, so Dio was able to leave England smoothly and go to Duwang Town, an island country, to spend his old age.
But after Alice's father resigned and set up his own detective agency, he once encountered a case related to the blood ghoul, which made Alice's father very puzzled, because he already knew that the current blood ghoul was Chris, and it was impossible for Chris to do such a thing, so Alice's father thought that this case was actually someone deliberately framing Chris.
But after a detailed investigation, Alice's father found only one useful clue, and that was a dagger with only Dior's fingerprints.
However, the problem is that Alice's father is also sure that Dio has left England and started his new life in the island country, so this case cannot be Dio's doing, but the only useful evidence in this case is the dagger with Dior's fingerprints.
This made Alice's father a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
So, the case was shelved by Alice's father, because there has never been a similar case since then, so Alice's father did not go to the island country to find Dior trouble... Or Alice's father doesn't want to go to a ghost place like Duwang Town, because Duwang Town is no less than Longtan Tiger's Den for those of them who "know", and if they can't go, they will definitely not go.
However, this has also become a knot in Alice's father's heart, every time he thinks about this incident, he has a headache, and he has no clue to reopen the investigation, so Alice wants to take the time to ask Dio about the dagger.
Therefore, Liu Xing and Alice hit it off and decided to go to Duwang Town early the next morning, and Yin En and the others showed mysterious smiles to Liu Xing and Alice after learning about it.
Forget it, don't bother to pay attention to them.
Nothing happened overnight.
After breakfast the next day, Liu Xing and Alice drove to Duwang Town, while Yin En and the others continued to clean up the farm and prepare a place to live for the people who worshiped the Yellow Cloth, and Tetsuya Honda went to the city alone to find his house.
On the way, Alice also chatted with Liu Xing about the case.
Five years after the dust settled on the Scarlet Ghoul incident, Alice's father suddenly received a call from an old friend of his, saying that there was a case near Portsmouth that might be related to the Scarlet Ghoul.
The scene of the crime is a high-end apartment in the center of Portsmouth, but the residents of this apartment are basically outsiders, and they will only move in when they usually come to Portsmouth for tourism or business trips, so the usual occupancy rate of this apartment is about 20 percent, and the 703 room of the accident is the only one living in the upper and lower four floors, so no one has found out after the accident, until they were found by the property because of arrears in property fees, and the family has been dead for a long time.
Alice's father's friend was involved in the first investigation, and found that the wounds on the family were clearly caused by a ghoul, and that the ghoul had entered and exited the room through a window; He then found a dead-powered camera on the TV, and it was pointing in the direction of the victimsβa table with a cake on it, apparently the victims were celebrating someone's birthday and were planning to record it.
The camera was restored and read the final image, revealing that it was a blood-colored ghoul entering the room to commit the crime, but the blood-colored ghoul was significantly different from Chris's body and looked very similar to Dior.
Then inside the cake, the dagger with Dior's fingerprints was found.
At the beginning, those involved in the case were ready to launch another wanted arrest for Dio, but Alice's father was adamantly opposed because he believed that the available evidence was not enough to prove that Dio had committed the crime, and that Dio was not a bloody ghoul, and most importantly that there was no connection between the victim and Dio.
In addition, at that time, Dio had already stayed in Douwang Town, and at that time, Douwang Town was not a place for people like Dior to come and go whenever they wanted.
More importantly, though, the blood-colored ghoul in the video didn't do anything to the cake, which meant that the dagger had already been placed in the cake.
This is also the most confusing point of the whole case, because no one can say exactly what role this dagger played in the case... Or rather, if it did not serve any purpose, whether it was the target of the blood-colored ghoul.
Anyway, Liu Xing was already a question mark after listening to Alice's story, and felt that this case was a bit clueless, and he only knew the process in the middle, but he didn't know what the cause and result were.
"Wait, what about the identity of the victim? Are they people from the secret church? Liu Xing suddenly remembered that Alice hadn't mentioned this stubble yet.
Alice shook her head and said seriously: "A family of three, two big and one small, all use fake identities. β
