"But you're in Yokohama right now. I didn't stay in Tokyo to look for my daughter. It's only ten days before you give up, it's really not like your style. Gu Tie commented.

"I'm not an idiot, Chinese. Asada raised his eyelids and gave him a cold look, "I did everything I could, and if I couldn't find any clues in three days, it meant that this matter was beyond my ability, and I sniffed out the streets of Chiyoda like a bloodhound for seven days." One hundred and sixty-eight hours, without a moment of rest, what did I find?"

"What?"

"Nothing!"

After this conversation, the two men were silent for a while, grabbing a beer bottle and drinking the unpalatable Kirin beer.

"It's time for dinner, I'm here to entertain you, you can watch TV. Asada stood up, shuffled slowly to the kitchen, and tossed and turned. Gu Tie looked at the back of this tired father, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart, who would have thought that the "water spider" Asada who crisscrossed the world and made GTC fearful, this proud descendant of the Ryukyu royal family, would have such a moment of despair and depression.

He turned on the TV and watched the game for a while, the 24-inch TV was badly aged by the humidity of the seaside, and the basketball game on the screen looked like a bunch of colorful color blocks moving. Fortunately, it didn't take long for dinner to be served. The house is dilapidated both inside and out, except for the dining room, which is neatly tidy and has a low table for four on tatami mats, where Asada is serving dinner one by one.

Gu Tie didn't expect much from the single old man's cooking skills, but he was slightly taken aback after seeing the dishes on the table. Salt-grilled dried horse mackerel, shrimp tempura, bonito sea grape tofu miso soup, pickled gherkins, small eggplant and white radish, ginger-grilled black pig pork belly, and steaming rice.

"Impressive, sage. Gu Tie picked up a piece of tempura and threw it into his mouth, giving a thumbs up.

"Don't call me by that weird name. Asada sat across the table and put his chopsticks between his palms and touched his forehead in salute, "Life is practice, and food is one of the most important practices." Remember to be grateful when eating. ”

"Yes, yes. Gu Tie picked up his chopsticks and began to pick up the rice, "Hey, this rice is delicious." It's Koshihikari rice. ”

"Yes, Niigata is a first-class product that is steamed on a charcoal stove. Asada said indifferently.

"Hey, this meat is delicious, you can't eat any meat, is it eel?" Gu Tie picked up an unknown object in the miso soup, which looked a bit like the shape of a chicken neck, and it tasted smooth and refreshing, with a natural delicacy from the ocean.

"Sea serpents. Sea snake cuisine is the essence of Ryukyu cuisine. Asada replied with a pursed mouth.

“...... Snake?" Although he called himself Chinese, Gu Tie had not yet touched this exotic ingredient, and his heart trembled a little when he ate it. A small dish with a sticky sauce-colored object smelled strangely tempting, Gu Tie dug up a chopstick and put it on top of the rice to eat, "Oh! This tastes so rich, it's just right for the rice...... What is this?"

"Pickled sea urchin offal. The sperm nest and ovaries of sea urchins are taken out, sprinkled with fine salt and marinated for eight hours to become a paste, which is a delicacy that accompanies rice. Asada replied.

“...... What a culture shock. The Chinese smacked the taste and sighed sincerely. He tapped the small pottery plate used to serve vegetables with the tip of his chopsticks, and wondered: "The color of this pottery is so complex, it doesn't look like it was fired after glazing, is it a second firing?"

The Ryukyuan people shook their heads and said, "Plates, fish plates, rice bowls, soup bowls, cold vegetable bowls, tempura bowls, all of them are Bizen-yaki." Bizen pottery is an important genre of Japanese pottery that uses clay from rice paddies to be fired without glazing or painting, and relies on the natural flame of straw and the power of rice field clay to naturally form a variety of textures and colors. Today, because the Koshihikari rice is boiled, the Bizen pottery fired by Niigata Prefecture's National Treasure of Human Culture potter Kinshige Pottery Mountain is used, and it is very touching to see the soil, straw, and rice from the same paddy field reunited in this form. ”

Gu Tie stared at him blankly, reacquainting himself with this murderous "100 million jade shattered" death captain. "In other words, you have a lot of pottery in your house that you use to match different dishes?"

"Of course. This is an important part of the way of eating. Asada achieved it as a matter of course.

"I dare to ask, how much is such a piece of pottery worth?" Gu Tie asked, pointing to a piece of pottery with a unique shape, which was a small bowl with an irregular quadrilateral shape, with a high wall and four petals split into four lobes in the upper part, showing a magnificent gradient from dark red to light yellow.

"It's vulgar to measure pottery by price. The old man said disdainfully, "However, this 'broken chestnut' is made in the shape of a chestnut that naturally cracks, and it is also considered a fine product in Bizen ware of Kinjo Pottery Mountain, so it should not be a problem to sell it for 5 million yen in the market." ”

Hearing this, Gu Tie immediately put down the small bowl gently, and scanned the luxurious dinner worth hundreds of millions of yen with respect. "You are so sloppy, only you care so much about food, use the best ingredients and the best utensils, doesn't your wife who hates the poor and loves the rich see that you are actually a nouveau riche who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger?" he asked, puzzled.

"You are not allowed to insult Kyoko. She is a good woman, but her eyes are blinded by money and she can't see the true meaning of life. Asada gently tightened his mouth with the last grain of rice in the bowl, bowed, and left the table, "After eating, let's come and talk about business." ”

Gu Tie swept away the dishes distressedly and saluted the expensive tableware. The two of them returned to the TV, sat on the sofa and continued to drink tasteless beer, "Since I can't even find a clue to Asada Yuzan, then I went to the scene in vain, but I think the problem lies in the surveillance video." You must have brought back the video from the surveillance probe, show it to me. The Chinese thought about it and said.

The old man turned his fingers, and a portable computer with a five-inch screen appeared in his palm, "Take it." I asked a technical expert to analyze it, and the video did not pass. ”

"A real technologist sits in front of you, old and shallow. Gu Tie took the computer, "Do you have a quantum network access point in your house?"

"No, for security reasons, there is only an IPV6 network via Inmarsat. The master shook his head.

"Cut, I'll have to pay my own phone bill. Gu Tie snorted, first uploaded the video on the computer to the network, and then took out a "Huanghai" brand portable satellite receiver from his travel bag, which was one of the props purchased in Beijing before leaving, this kind of gadget that can be smoothly brought on the plane without causing trouble made him hurt his brain a lot, and also spent a lot of money, fortunately, Beijing is his own territory, as long as he snaps his fingers, there are crooked brothers who smell the smell of banknotes and gather to bring all kinds of legal and illegal things to offer treasures.

This receiver is said to be the tail order of the model specially ordered by the Huanghai Factory for the Ministry of State Security, the shape is disguised as a razor, the signal is strong, and the wireless WIFI function is attached, which is affordable and easy to carry. Gu Tie didn't ask Xiao Tang of the Ministry of State Security to verify the authenticity, there are more copycats in China, anyway, as long as the function can be used. At this moment, he pressed the button, and the three-petaled thin antenna stretched out, slowly keeping it rotating, "Don't disturb me for five minutes." He said to Asada. The dark, thin old man looked at him expressionlessly.

Is there any partner in the world who is more trustworthy than the "water spider" with the same interests? Gu Tie closed his eyes in peace of mind. The thunderclouds of the Pure Land roll overhead, the endless black earth exudes the fragrance of earth, and the wind gently envelops the owner of the Pure Land, welcoming the return of the creator of this world. Since the last head-to-head confrontation with Asmantis, Gu Tie has reduced the external connection of the Pure Land to a minimum, and the current Pure Land is a ghost land suspended in the spider web structure of the quantum network, and only at the necessary moment will the tentacles of the thread be stretched out to request the resources of the "Genesis", and the mysterious cloud vortex composed of tens of thousands of zombie terminals hides the core, like a ghost ship sailing in the quantum ocean and surrounding the mist.

"Last time, I shouldn't have been able to get the terminal code by the other party, so it's safe for the time being......" muttering to himself, Gu Tie checked the security settings of the Pure Land one by one, and one after another windows with flowing codes crossed in front of him, "No problem, no problem, no problem." Whew, no problem. He clapped his hands, and the surrounding window of code dissipated into the air.

Gu Tie sat down relaxedly, raised his hand to open the interface between the quantum network and the traditional IP network, retrieved the video of Yuzan Asada , and then erased all traces on the path, interrupting the external connection of the Pure Land. The Chinese fell to the ground on their backs, threw the video into the sky, the tumbling thunderclouds obediently arranged into a smooth black mirror, and the two-dimensional video covering the sky began to play.

There is only one video, which was shot by a wide-angle surveillance probe on the outside of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building at No. 11, Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, starting with Naomi Asada walking into the Metropolitan Police Department building from the direction of Kasumigaseki Station of the Tokyo Metro at 7:30 in the morning, and until she walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department building towards the subway station at 19:11 in the evening, the video shows her crossing the street from the sidewalk, turning southwest in the direction of the former site of the Ministry of Justice of Japan, and going straight in the direction of the Tokyo High Court to reach the subway station, but Naomi Asada seems to be accustomed to walking through an L-shaped alley, passing through the gap between the High Court and the Central Contract Officeto avoid the crowds on the main road. There are no surveillance cameras on this path, and judging from the video, there are very few people passing through it, and Naomi Asada wears a white strappy trench coat, black trousers, half-heeled leather shoes when she goes to work, and carries a red leather bag, which she still wears when she gets off work, and the expression on her face is very calm.

"Sure enough, there was a problem. Gu Tie nodded.
