The three people who had been busy all morning were hungry at the moment, and the sun was no longer as hot as before on the approaching day of winter. In dry weather, every car that passes by rolls up a thick cloud of smoke.

On the other side of the road, there is an old breakfast restaurant, where office workers come and go, and Japanese breakfast likes to eat bibimbap, but Lin Xuan and Ji Han chose Yuyakiko.

"Sweet omelets."

Lin Xuan took a bite and didn't find the buns and soy milk, which made him, an authentic Changlin person, a little uncomfortable.

Compared with Lin Xuan, Ji Han is much better, he once had four years of study experience in Japan, and he personally likes the taste of jade roasted seeds.

"Last night, Jiro Inoue, who was next door, didn't come home all night, and when I woke up in the morning, there were people standing in front of his house, saying that he had died in an accident."

The eldest sister who was tidying up the jade roast glanced at the man who was talking, a black suit, with his hairstyle that I don't know if it was a middle or a four-six part, greasy like an uncle in the last century.

"Today is the Takamatsutsuka Festival, I see Inoue Kajiro, it wasn't a car accident at all, he must have joined a gang and was killed." The eldest sister paused, then shook her head and continued: "In these years, it's good to do anything, but you can't have anything to do with the gang. ”

Lin Xuan glanced up at Ji Han and Li Mubai.

Their next stop was Takamatsuzuka, and Li Mubai looked down at the time.

"Sachiko Asami's wedding should be over, shouldn't we go to Takamatsuzuka."

Ji Han got up and paid for breakfast quickly, the three of them went out of the breakfast hall, and then took a taxi, they were not proficient in Japanese, only Ji Han could barely communicate with the driver.

"Are we going to Asuka Park?"

Ji Han shook his head, "The Takamatsuzuka Festival is just a symbolic synonym, every time they hold a festival, they will choose a commercial center, or a top venue in a star-rated hotel. ”

Lin Xuan looked at Li Mubai with some confusion.

"Could it be that the Takamatsuzuka Festival is not held in Takamatsuzuka?"

"Of course not, Takamatsuzuka is also a cultural heritage reserve, and there are so many gangs that it can't accommodate it."

"So where are we going now?"

"A five-star hotel," said Ji Han and took out the invitation letter of the Takamatsuzuka Festival, and the exquisite cover was a very chic-looking ***, which symbolizes power and power in Japan.

Cars drove through noisy streets, and roadside televisions were broadcasting the shooting that had taken place at the police station last night.

The news of Genji's wanted is everywhere, people are talking about it, and a thug who is so mad that he can do it to his own father is incomprehensible and intolerable to them.

"The Harajima Hotel has arrived."

Ji Han paid for the taxi, and then walked to the hotel with the invitation. It's a five-star hotel, and while it's not the best hotel in Nara, it's common for hotels of this caliber to have venues that can accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people.

Entering from the door of the hotel, Lin Xuan was shocked by the battle in front of him. Everywhere there were thugs in black dresses, some of them in twos and threes, and some of them in more than ten or twenty people.

Suddenly, an Iga disciple came down from the corridor on the second floor, dressed differently from the others, a signature feature of the Iga sect, and one could instantly recognize him as an Iga sect member.

"Master Ji, my senior brother is waiting for a few people in the conference room on the sixth floor."

Ji Han nodded to him, and then followed him into the elevator.

"Are there a lot of people here today?"

"Yes, it's more lively than in previous years, maybe it's because the Optics Valley family is also participating this year."

Lin Xuan looked at Ji Han in some surprise, and then asked, "Didn't the Optics Valley family participate before?" ”

"No," the disciple of the Iga faction shook his head, "The Optics Valley family doesn't make a living from the underworld, they have always only supported a gang, but in recent years, Kouya Tengichi's reputation in the underworld has become more and more famous, so it is also expected to participate in the Takamatsutsuka Festival this year." ”

Li Mubai looked left and right, this was his occupational disease as a private detective, he habitually wanted to observe all the details, and then draw his own inferences.

"It's huge."

Ji Han glanced at Lin Xuan with some disdain, in his opinion, this was a very ordinary star-rated hotel.

"Senior Brother is waiting for the three of you in the conference room in front of you."

The disciples of the Iga sect stopped suddenly, it was a duplex conference building, and there would be some pastries placed at the door of each conference room, and there would usually be waiters serving at the door of the conference room, but due to the peculiarity of the Takamatsuzuka Grand Festival, all the waiters were forbidden to enter the venue.

"You're here?"

Duan Yiming stood at the door of the conference room, he beckoned to Ji Han and motioned for Lin Xuan and them to enter.

"I haven't seen you in a while."

Duan Yiming smiled and stretched out his hand to Lin Xuan.

"We're too, it's been a long time since we saw Duan Gongzi."

After a short greeting, Ji Han began to talk to Duan Yiming about their so-called business.

"Today's big festival, how many resources can the Iga faction get?"

"It's hard to say, Sachiko Asami and Asashio Kato are both bidding, and Tengichi Hiroya suddenly joined, and the cake for three people is now divided by four people."

Lin Xuan was sitting in the conference room, and he didn't care about what Ji Han and they were talking about.

"Can I get some food at the door?" Lin Xuan asked Duan Yiming, "I didn't have enough breakfast, and I was still a little uncomfortable with Japanese food. ”

"Of course," Duan Yiming nodded politely, and then instructed the Yihe sect disciples beside him, "Prepare some pastries for my three guests, if you can have a Chinese-style breakfast, it would be even better." ”

"Understood."

The disciples of the Iga faction quickly walked towards the hotel bar, in the star-rated hotel, there will be a bar counter for waiters on each floor, and they are responsible for solving all the needs of the guests.

"The head of the Chaohai family has just passed away, and this time the Takamatsutsuka Festival, the most likely loss will be the Chaohai family."

"Didn't Kato's father just pass away yesterday?"

Duan Yiming nodded, and then said: "The Kato family is different from the Asami family, Kato Akashi took over his father's business very early, but the power of the Asami family has always been in the hands of Asami Kawano, plus Asami Sachiko is just a woman, many things are always not as convenient as men." ”

Lin Xuan didn't plan to participate in this discussion, and now he still had a headache when he heard the name of Sachiko Asami.

Li Mubai took a sip of Zhuo Shang's tea, then looked up and asked, "What time does the Takamatsuzuka Festival start?" ”

Duan Yiming looked down at the time, "It should start soon, we are all waiting for the organizers of the conference." ”

"By the way, who prepared this conference?"

"Originally, it was Mr. Matsuno of the triad, but then he had an accident, and the current executor should be Mr. Sasaki of the Tokyo General Association."

"Nozomi Sasaki?" Li Mubai asked.

"That's right, it's him."

Ji Han looked at Li Mubai with some doubts.

"How did you know Nozomi Sasaki?"

"I met him at a Taoist association exhibition last year, and this man is very ambitious, and his influence has penetrated into Southeast Asia, and he has his influence in many parts of Asia."

The waiter at the door brought them some steamed buns and rice porridge. Lin Xuan said that he was very satisfied, and asked Ji Han to give some tips to the waiter.

After a brief breakfast, Duan Yiming led them towards the official venue of the Takamatsuzuka Festival.

"Good morning, Mr. Duan." The security staff at the door greeted Duan Yiming very politely.

"It's not morning," Duan Yiming smiled and pointed to the clock on the wall, "It's eleven o'clock." ”

"Okay Mr. Duan, good afternoon," the sweet smile seemed to make people forget their troubles for a while.

At each of the four entrances to the venue, two or three beautiful security personnel are standing.

Lin Xuan muttered quietly, "Where did they get so many beauties?" ”

"It's from the Central China Authentication Society," Li Mubai pointed to the monogram on the chest of the beautiful woman, "They often participate in this kind of bidding activities, although their main business is antique auctions, but they also often participate in this kind of large venue." ”

"Gentlemen, please cooperate with me to go through the security check, is it okay?"

Facing Miss Manners's sweet smile, Lin Xuan had a hard time refusing, and Ji Han seemed to enjoy the process of dealing with them.

"Where is your next auction?"

"Does Ji Gongzi want to participate?"

"Of course," Ji Han nodded without hesitation, "Where there are beautiful women, how can I be without Ji Han." ”

"Ji Gongzi is so funny."

Each hostess was talking and laughing with the security staff, and they seemed to know all the people involved in the venue.

After passing the security check, Duan Yiming took Lin Xuan and them into the venue of the Gao Song Mound Festival, which was much larger than Lin Xuan expected, different gangs had different positions, and they were divided into more than a dozen areas.

"Didn't you say there were only four? How can there be so many gangs? ”

Duan Yiming explained to Lin Xuan: "These are all affiliated gangs of the four major families, they rely on the four major families, and they do not belong to the four major families, and many times, they have to solve a lot of potential problems for us. ”

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, and then said, "Is it similar to the existence of a scapegoat?" ”

"It's not very accurate, but it's understandable."

Lin Xuan looked sideways, and their position was on the right hand side of the Iga faction, and she held Ye Heng's arm, as if they were an intimate couple.

"Friends, welcome to the Takamatsuzuka Festival, I am the executor of this conference and the master of ceremonies of this meeting, Nozomi Sasaki."

There was a sudden round of applause in the venue, and under the spotlight, a guy in a straight suit and a handsome face appeared in the center of the venue. Duan Yiming looked thoughtfully at Nozomi Sasaki in the stands, and it was indeed the best choice for the Japanese underworld to replace the old guy Matsuno and preside over this year's Takamatsuzuka Festival.
