Chapter Forty-Six: The Excellent Stallion

However, the Japanese side's analysis of the situation does not seem to support Li Zhen's view. They believe that there may be a reason for Watanabe's unusual behavior that day.

At that time, his last sentence was recorded in the communication channel, and the Japanese side answered the following questions...... That's an inconsequential nonsense.

Based on the pronunciation at the time, it is assumed that he was referring to "waste".

Watanabe's military rank in the inspection hall is "First Lieutenant", or "Captain" in China. He is Chinese New Year's Eve and has a wife and a daughter. As a person with the ability of "bone extension", Watanabe has lived a very happy life for a long time. But just five months ago, he was in a car accident while taking his daughter out shopping, and both father and daughter were seriously injured.

His wife also died in a car accident while driving to the hospital to visit her, perhaps due to extreme panic.

That is to say, on the same day, his wife first left him, and then in the evening his daughter also died.

It is said that this incident hit him very hard, and Watanabe was extremely depressed, and it gradually improved after two months of psychological treatment. But since then, his subordinates have often heard him privately denounce himself as "trash."

This time they heard vaguely the same word in the communication channel.

If you have to find a reasonable explanation, it is that Watanabe is emotionally out of control and psychologically collapsed in an extreme environment. With some kind of atonement, he chose to commit suicide in an extremely painful way to compensate for his guilt.

And several other people on the mission also confirmed that Watanabe's mood was not very good that day, and there was indeed a possibility of choosing suicide.

If this is true. Watanabe's own tragic experience aside, but it's good news. However, nothing can be viewed optimistically on the battlefield, and only by preparing with the most pessimistic expectations can we get a truly optimistic result. This kind of lesson has already been taught once in Shennongjia, and no one wants a second time.

So Dai Bingcheng asked Li Zhen: "What do you think?" ”

At this time, of course, Li Zhen couldn't reply, "Adults are wise". Because he does have his own ideas. So he said: "It's not impossible, but even then there must be a cause." If I had to say, I would think that it was the species that induced the most negative emotions in his heart and caused him to commit suicide. But...... What are we going to do with this? I mean, if I can subdue it. ”

"That's not something our level can worry about." Dai Bingcheng shook his head, "It stands to reason that it should return to the Japanese side." But it's really more valuable on our side. Recently, the Director-General seems to be considering facilitating a fact-finding mission. If this happens, then the relevant information will be shared without boundaries in the future. I guess this time I have to go this way. It's on your side. Is the person decided? ”

He asked about candidates for Japan. During these days, many things were decided by Li Zhen himself. Because Dai Bingcheng asked him to "let go and do it well".

Therefore, after some consideration, Li Zhen determined his own way of thinking - the elite line.

He won't ask the Secret Service to go out again. Instead, a few high-end capable people will be carefully selected to participate in the battle. In the event of a worst-case scenario, as in Shennongjia, then the rest of the people can at least guarantee that this department will not shed the last drop of blood. They can use their experience to develop new people and replenish their strength as quickly as possible – despite the current ones. It's not an "old man" either.

So Li Zhen thought about it. Said slowly: "A few people have been preliminarily decided. But I'm not going to let Yanling go to Japan—she's the only one left before except me. Besides, we're dealing with species this time. Gun Mastery is of little use. She stayed and could continue to be in charge of training. ”

Dai Bingcheng nodded approvingly: "It's right to think like this." ”

Li Zhen continued: "The rest of the people, in fact, can help is really limited, and the combat aspect mainly depends on me. There should still be high-end people in Japan - Ueno Kanyanagi will definitely appear, right? The information states that his ability is 'enchanted'. Then I'm going to take the bear forest with me. Xiong Lin is a humanoid amplifier, and it works for me as well as for him. The second is Sun Haomiao, he was promoted to A a few days ago, his ability is 'solidified', and he has been playing with turning water into ice in the last few days - he must be able to use it in that kind of terrain. ”

"Both of these are fine." Dai Bingcheng nodded, "I suggest you bring Xie Su again." ”

"Xie Su?" Li Zhen frowned slightly, "He's also A-level - so the A-level in the bureau will be taken away by me." But his ability is invisible, will it be useful? ”

Dai Bingcheng smiled meaningfully: "Many times danger does not only come from aliens, but also human beings. The Kitagawa family will not be without action. You've learned that their relationship with the Gate of Truth has never been clear, and that this time it seems to have something to do with them. It may not be very useful to deal with Xie Su, but when it comes to people, the ability of stealth is too useful. ”

As he spoke, he pushed an electric paper book in front of Li Zhen: "New news, take a good look." ”

Li Zhen didn't speak, and read the information on it first.

Source: Japan Inspection Agency. After confirming that the species appeared in the Chiyan volcanic group, the inspection agency conducted a detailed investigation, and all the people who had entered and exited the forest area around Guangdai in the past four months were registered, focusing on the abnormal conditions and special groups among them.

Originally, there was no clear goal in doing so, it was just a routine. However, in the course of such a routine investigation, they discovered a special existence that attracted some attention.

The eldest daughter of the Kitagawa family, Keiko Kitagawa.

The Kitagawa family is influential in Japan, with several large conglomerates under its name, and is particularly entrenched in the transportation industry. Recently, the family seems to be trying to enter politics again, and has expressed its intention to run for Congress. However, in the eyes of the able, especially in the eyes of the Japanese capable, this family has always given a bad impression.

Because they belong to the pro-American faction, which is relatively rare in the country.

Those who are capable have a greater chance of giving birth to offspring who also have the ability than the average person, and the Kitagawa family used to have many children and grandchildren. Therefore, for two hundred years, they have miraculously maintained the situation of at least one capable person in their family, which also makes them one of the few capable families in the world.

However, the ancestors of the Kitagawa family studied in the United States after World War I and married an American as his wife. His wife also came from a family with a strong background, so in the years that followed, the descendants of the family had close contacts with the American side and had several contacts with the Gate of Truth.

Although they did not openly express their goodwill to the Gate of Truth due to the domestic and international situation, it is a well-known secret that the Kitagawa family is deeply involved in that organization.

The Inspection Department was also aware of what the Gate of Truth was trying to destroy with a nuclear bomb, so it instinctively paid more attention when it found out that Keiko Kitagawa had been there more than a month before the volcanic meltdown.

Just looked it up like this, and it turned out to be quite "interesting".

The man who was hiking with Keiko Kitagawa was confirmed dead a month ago. She mentions it in the transcript. The two are friends who have known each other for a short time. Knowing that the Chiyan volcano was showing signs of eruption, they made an appointment to go on a hiking adventure. However, while camping in the forest, he encountered a pack of wild wolves, and Hoshino was killed in a desperate fight with the wild wolves in order to protect Keiko, and Keiko took the opportunity to escape.

The woman expressed deep regret and regret at the same time. And said that he would do everything possible to compensate Hoshinomi's family.

Local police later confirmed the scene - the man's body had indeed been torn by wolves to the bone. I don't see anything suspicious.

There is nothing inherently suspicious about the incident. But if you look at the local police records. You will find that in the past five years, Keiko Kitagawa has made seven transcriptions.

And all seven of them were homicides.

The victims, without exception, have been in a relationship with Keiko Kitagawa in various ways, but various accidents occur when the two are alone - either a heart attack, or a car accident, or to protect Keiko who is robbed and fights alone. He was stabbed to death. The first five to four years were the peak of the incident, and the next two years were uneventful, and it was only this year that the seventh homicide occurred.

The police can't do anything about it – because Keiko Kitagawa has a perfect certificate of innocence. There is nothing the inspection agency can do about it, because the influence of the Kitagawa family is so great, and it is impossible for them to use excessive restrictions like they do with ordinary people.

In fact, almost all the agents in the inspection hall knew that all seven of them had died at the hands of Keiko Kitagawa. Her abilities are well-known in the Japanese power world—certainly not well-known. But without conclusive and critical evidence, they have nothing to do. At one time, people thought that this woman had learned to be restrained and low-key, but what happened a month ago brought her into everyone's attention again.

Only this time, it probably won't end so easily.

The family background that once protected her has become a big problem now. Species, Kitagawa family, the gate of truth. With such an obvious clue in front of them, it was impossible and unreasonable for the inspection hall to let her go lightly.

It's just that...... That Kitagawa house in Harumi Kitagawa ?

Dai Bingcheng seemed to see Li Zhen's thoughts, and said in a calm tone: "Beichuan Qingming's Beichuan family." You should have read her profile too. ”

Li Zhen did see it. In fact, his life experience is similar to what he imagined before - the son of a large Japanese family came to China, met a beautiful civilian girl, and thought that he had found true love. After the moon went down to the mountains and swore an oath, a small life was left in her womb. A year later, however, he had to return to the island, and before leaving, he promised the girl that "he would definitely come back." Then, as in most such stories, the man is pressured, or indeed unable to return to China due to some objective factors, and at the end of the day, he is washed by reality and time, forgetting the woman he has been with for a year on a distant continent - or forcing himself to hide it in his heart.

But the original girl found out she was pregnant only after the man left. She believed in God because of that man, so she left life in her womb - so she had Kitagawa Harumi.

However, the man did not return.

She raised Kitagawa Harumi alone and told her everything. So the mother and daughter gradually brewed their love into hatred over a long period of time, which continues to this day.

It is precisely because of Kitagawa Qingming's background that the Secret Service has never had the idea of recruiting her under its command.

Li Zhen frowned: "Then her father ......"

"It's Keiko Kitagawa's father." Dai Bingcheng replied.

"Isn't that your age?" Li Zhen asked in surprise, "Her father, Kitagawa Ohara, met her mother in China and got married after returning to Japan, how can Kitagawa Keiko be older than Kitagawa Haruaki?" ”

Dai Bingcheng smiled: "That person was an amorous son when he was young...... he looked at Li Zhen with a smile, "Actually, Kitagawa Keiko was born before I met Kitagawa's mother." It's funny to say, he has two daughters, but they didn't know until they were born - or he doesn't even know that there is such a person as Harumi Kitagawa now. ”

Li Zhen thought for a moment and sighed: "This person ...... What a stallion. ”

Dai Bingcheng snorted: "It's still a high-quality stallion." Gave birth to two children, one A and one B. So it is said that now the Kitagawa family values him very much, and only wants him to have three or four more - the life of the stallion is not so easy. ”

It was originally a business conversation, but now it seems to have become a small talk. In any case, it is always bad to talk about the length of people behind his back, so Li Zhen tried to change the topic: "Then what about Keiko Kitagawa this time?" ”

"The inspection hall is going to get to the bottom of it. But I don't think it has much to do with the Gate of Truth – they're not stupid enough to get the species into China's sphere of influence and wait for us to catch them. But it's impossible to say what the off-topic efforts were, and perhaps those people intend to take this opportunity to vent their grievances. So when you get over there, you have to beware of the people of the Beichuan family. In case, this is true, I'm afraid the situation will not be better than last time. ”

Li Zhen nodded silently.

Then one more thing came to mind.

"I reported to you last time...... Mass evolution thing—what's the result over there? ”

Dai Bingcheng shook his head with a wry smile: "Theoretical support? Not anymore. ”

"Dr. Shen's theory is wrong?" Li Zhen asked with some disappointment, "Didn't that say that the data model is quite perfect?" ”

Shen Mu made a bet with people that there would be an aurora at the end of February—the kind of tide he called it. But it didn't show up. So he later said that there would be another one at the end of March at the latest, but it didn't show up. Originally, those people thought his set was unreliable, so he was fired. Dai Bingcheng sighed and shook his head, "Although I don't understand much, I don't think well of his set - I can't understand what is said in it at all, and only he can understand his thoughts from beginning to end." So many scientists say that he is a mathematical game, but he has to say that only two people in this world can understand his 'ultimate truth'...... If you want me to say, even the genetic explanation is more reliable than his. ”

"It's also that I was confused by what you kid said—what did our side of the matter make those people who study theoretical physics mix blindly...... If we could evolve by taking a single aurora, then we would have made 180 A-class like you. (To be continued.) )
