Chapter 82: The Red Lotus Revolution and the Requiem of the Detectives
Drip...... Tick toot.
After a while, the phone was connected, and the familiar voice of Sister Rinka came out.
"Jiang Chen, are you okay? ....... over there."
"Don't talk yet, Sister Rinka, isn't it on your side?"
"Don't crack the detective? He and Sheriff Maya were indeed at the Sheriff's Office, but they had just received a phone call, as if they were going back. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately frowned and said solemnly:
"Immediately use all means to drag him down, and we must not let him go back to the tenth district."
“...... Okay, I see. ”
Although she didn't know what Jiang Chen's instructions were, Rin Hua immediately hung up the phone to carry it out.
Huh, it's okay now, at least he won't be involved in it, otherwise he doesn't know how he died with his brain.
At this time, Jiang Chen looked at the screen with his mobile phone, but began to think secretly in his heart.
There is no doubt that the phone call he made to Bupo was urging him to return to the tenth district, because the governor of Tianhai was seriously ill.
In such an emergency when parents are seriously ill, it is normal to ask all children to be present.
But if Jiang Chen guessed correctly, wait until the Governor of Tianhai really breathes.
The Governor's Mansion in the 10th District will immediately be stormy and bloody.
The reason for this is easy to speculate, because the governor of the Federation is a "hereditary position", which can be passed from father to son and father to daughter.
From this point of view, the status of the governor is somewhat similar to that of the emperor in ancient times, no matter how bad it is, he has to feel like a soil emperor.
As the saying goes, the most ruthless emperor is the family.
Especially when the previous emperor died, the various insidious ruthlessness of the children in order to compete for the throne have been staged countless times in history.
Now the governor of Tianhai has a total of four children, but the position of governor is only one.
Here, the eldest son Nao and the eldest daughter Shi Yu have been assisting their father in the Governor's Mansion for a long time, and they have a good resume and team.
Normally, the next governor should be chosen from the eldest son or eldest daughter.
As for such an illegitimate daughter as Yongji, and Bupo, such a supernumerary youngest son who has been away from the Governor's Mansion for a long time, it is impossible for him to inherit at all.
......
Of course, that's under the "normal" situation.
Because there was such a monster as Yongji among these four children, Jiang Chen never thought that everything could become normal.
Don't look at Yonghee's appearance of a good daughter who is very concerned about her father's situation just now, but that is undoubtedly acting.
It is true that Yongji only saved Jiang Chen not long ago, and the relationship between the two has indeed eased a little.
But even so, Jiang Chen would not lose his mind because of this, and let his guard down on her.
Letting down your guard against a woman like Yonghime, I don't know when she was really sold, it's purely suicidal.
And for that woman's acting skills that are as natural as breathing, Jiang Chen has already seen it.
So he didn't believe at all that Yongji really loved her father so much.
I don't believe it even more, she went back this time simply to send her father to death.
Or rather...... The send-off may really be the end-off.
But in addition to her father, she may also send away a few siblings or something.
Although her two big brothers and sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps, Jiang Chen still thinks that Yongji will win.
The reason for this is simple, because Yongji is not a lamp.
She is fire, the fire of hell that burns everything.
In view of the fact that the form in the Governor's Mansion of the Tenth District was so sinister now, Jiang Chen did not want to go back without breaking it.
Although he is a little stupid, he is still a good boy.
Although Bupo is a good boy, he is always a little stupid.
Such a stupid and good boy should not be mixed with the ugly cannibalism of his siblings at all.
Of course, some people may think that Jiang Chen's thoughts are too dark, maybe Yongji's family is not like that.
But in fact, the situation that Jiang Chen had just imagined was far from gloomy.
What was about to happen in the Governor's Mansion of the 10th District was a thousand times darker than he had imagined.
Soon after, it was located in the largest and most imposing building in the center of the 10th arrondissement, the "Governor's Palace of the 10th arrondissement".
Many staff members were busily walking around the hall with anxious expressions on their faces.
"What does the young master say over there? Haven't come yet? ”
"I said it was a traffic jam, and I will be there soon."
"Traffic jams? Forget it, it doesn't matter if he comes anyway, he doesn't matter that much. ”
Suddenly, the middle-aged man in a suit glanced at the governor's residence on the top floor of the governor's mansion, and a nervous look flashed in his eyes.
Now the governor of the tenth district, Lord Tianhai, is seriously ill, and according to the doctor, he may leave at any time.
But no one knew what the exact illness the Governor of Tianhai had, except for several of his family members and attending physicians.
Ever since the Governor of Tianhai fell seriously ill, he had been recuperating in his room, and almost no one had been able to see him.
This strange situation naturally made many old fritters with rich political experience begin to be vigilant.
However, it doesn't matter if they are vigilant or not, because the real core inheritance problem at the moment cannot be solved by outsiders.
…… I hope that I can spend the day peacefully and that nothing happens.
Thinking of this, the lieutenant governor took off his glasses and wiped them with his handkerchief, but his hands were faintly trembling.
The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are overwhelming the city and the city is about to be destroyed.
A strong sense of tension permeated the Governor's Palace, even in his residence.
Drip...... Honk...... Drip...... Honk.
At this moment, there was a monotonous sound of machinery in the hospital room of the Governor of Tianhai.
If you look closely, it's the voice coming from the life-sustaining system next to the bed.
This sound is the type that can be heard often in hospitals.
But the patients in the hospital bed are the type that you will never see in the hospital.
It was pitch black, and on the white hospital bed lay a body that emitted a dense black mist.
This body looks like a human being, but it is surrounded by black mist, and it looks extremely terrifying.
Because the appearance of the Governor of the Sea is too miserable today.
Even the pair of children who looked inside through the glass of the ward, Naoto and Shi Yu couldn't help but turn their heads.
Old stuff, you also have today.
Thinking of this, Naoto fakely wiped away his non-existent tears, and asked the attending doctor who was standing next to him with a cower:
"Doctor, my father's condition ......"
"Young Master Naoto, the master's fog-dyed state has reached a critical point, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today."
The doctor swallowed and said in a somewhat frightened tone.
All doctors around the world know that fog infection is an incurable disease, another area that medicine is powerless to reach.
Although the Governor of Tianhai, as the lord of the first district, has the most complete medical resources, this does not help in the treatment of fog infection.
At this time, Naoto said to the henchman on the side:
"Isn't it broken?"
"The young master hasn't arrived yet, but it should be soon."
"Well, I will prepare for the funeral immediately after my father's death, and I will send my father away with the most solemn ceremony."
Although the Governor of Tianhai has not died yet, in the eyes of Naoto, he seems to be a dead man.
After hearing his tone as if he was already determined to be the governor of the tenth district, his sister Shi Yu on the side couldn't help laughing:
"Don't be so anxious, brother, it's hard to say who will do my father's funeral."
Shi Yu is a woman who gives people a sour feeling from the outside, with high cheekbones and mean eyes, which is difficult to deal with at first glance.
Of course, Naoto was not far behind in this regard, so he sneered at his sister:
"After my father dies, we can let the House of Representatives vote on the next governor, right?"
"Oh, it's so fair, you obviously bought off the vast majority of the members of the House of Representatives, and you are willing to put on a voting performance for people to see, I am really moved to tears."
"Hmph, this is the so-called politics, politics depends on the wrist, you know? Don't you also insert your own people into it. ”
Naoto is obviously blunt about his tricks behind his back, because he knows that his sister is not much better.
But just as the two siblings were having a friendly exchange, a very deep-sounding voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
"Playing with politics...... It's really a low-level wrist, it's like two elementary school students pulling each other's hair, hee-hee. ”
…… What?
Naoto and Shiyu hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a young and beautiful woman walking towards this side with leisurely steps.
Yonghime? This guy is here too?
When they saw the wild seed that their father had left outside, the two siblings couldn't help but glance at each other, and then face Yonghime at the same time.
Then, Naoto pretended to be friendly and smiled:
"Miss Yonghime, although you have not been accepted by the family, for the sake of everyone having the same blood, you will still be invited to come over to your father's funeral."
And Shi Yu, who was standing next to him, also said in a scathing tone:
"But wearing filial piety clothes is exempt, after all, your identity is not so visible, you can't embarrass our family, hehe."
In the face of the sarcasm of these two blood relatives, Yongji still had a relaxed smile on her face, and said with a smile:
"The funeral is exempt, anyway, the two of you are so disgusted, your funeral is probably the kind that dogs don't go."
What! The moment he heard these words, Naoto and Shiyu couldn't help but be shocked.
But before they could react, seven or eight heavily armed members of the immediate guards rushed into the room with guns in hand!
"You! What are you ...... Yes? ”
I heard a burst of gunfire in the room, and all the men and doctors of the two siblings fell in a pool of blood!
This...... Is this guy crazy? Want to rebel?
When he reacted to what Yongji wanted to do, Naoto and Shiyu were immediately frightened.
But even so, Naoto said to Nagahime:
"Wait! Even if you kill us, District 10 won't recognize you as the next governor!" ”
"I don't need to admit it."
Facing this half-brother, Yongji said in a gentle and frightening tone:
"Anyway, my dear father, I won't die, so let him continue to be governor...... By the way, when my dog is good. ”
Before the words fell, Yongji actually walked over and kicked open the door of the Governor of Tianhai's ward! Walked into the hospital room with black fog!
At the same time, there were two more gunshots and two screams of pain from behind.
However, fog infection is a highly contagious disease, and doctors must wear full protection when entering.
Yongji actually kicked the door open and walked in so swaggeringly...... Is she looking for death?
Of course, Yongji is not looking for death, she is looking for life.
But this kind of life may be more uncomfortable than death.
Arriving at her father's hospital bed with a black mist, Yong-hee looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face and took out what looked like a fragment.
The fragment emitted a strange and ominous glow, and it also had a deep sword mark on it.
"Father, you should thank me, for only this 'Outer Path Mask Fragment' can save your life. ”
Of course, you don't have to thank me, because this "fog infection" is also what I tried to make you get.
Yongji said as she placed the mask fragment in her father's heart.
The moment the fragment was placed on his chest, the black mist that had been flowing chaotically around him suddenly became docile.
Under Yonghime's mobilization, the black mist gradually gathered around this fragment and slowly seeped into the man's heart.
Poof! It wasn't long before there was a loud heartbeat.
The body, which had been almost exhausted, was rejuvenated!
"I ...... I'm ......"
"Father, it's great that you're finally awake."
As Governor Amami slowly opened his eyes, he saw Eihime's expression of surprise and exhaustion.
At least at this moment, Yongji really looks like an ordinary filial daughter.
If a father has such a filial daughter, it would be a ...... Eighteen generations of blood mold.
......
......
......
"Ladies and gentlemen, what we see now is the picture of the Governor of Tianhai in the 10th District inspecting the work and giving guidance and suggestions."
"There were rumors that the governor of Tianhai was in poor health, so that most of the recent work was handed over to his children, and there was even a possibility of abdication."
"But judging from the appearance of Governor Hai today, he seems to be in very good shape, and all of a sudden the rumors are self-defeating."
That night, the TV host was reporting on the Governor's inspection of the 10th arrondissement.
The hostess took the microphone and interviewed the governor, saying some painless official words.
If it had been changed before, Jiang Chen would never have watched such a boring official show.
But at this time, he looked at the picture displayed on the screen, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
…… Bastard Yongji, she still put it on the table.
Looking at the middle-aged man on TV who seemed to be not sick or in pain, and his voice was very loud, Jiang Chen couldn't help but pout.
Judging from the current situation, there should be no physical problems on the side of the Governor of Tianhai.
But his problem is fine, but in Jiang Chen's opinion, it is the biggest problem...... After all, fog infection is not going to be good.
Why was the Governor of the Heavenly Sea able to recover to such a state? It's very simple, it must have something to do with Yonghime.
Yongji said that she didn't get the treasure that Shui Linglong stole that could cure fog infection, but in reality it doesn't seem to be the case.
That guy probably took something from Shui Linglong while Jiang Chen was unconscious.
then pretended that nothing had happened and sent Jiang Chen away, and then went to treat his father himself.
From this point of view...... The treasure that treated the Governor of Tianhai should not be a serious object.
There is a high probability that after Jiang Chen knows about it, he will not allow Yongji to take it away.
Wait a minute? Forbidden things?
Could it be that it has something to do with the black giant that Shui Linglong turned into in the end?
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's mind came up with the big black guy who had almost killed him.
If he remembered correctly, Shui Linglong did take out a small black fragment from nowhere before he died.
That woman must have relied on the power of that small fragment to transform into such a terrifying form.
Originally, Jiang Chen thought that the small fragment had been destroyed on the spot along with the black giant.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is indeed a possibility that she will be taken away by Yonghime.
After all, when the black giant was destroyed by the Heavenly Divine Blade, Yongji was nearby.
…… But no matter how you put it, this matter is no longer pursued.
Even if Jiang Chen goes to Yongji again to ask for an explanation, she will definitely only fool the past, because there is no evidence.
Although Jiang Chen didn't lose anything in this time, he also successfully killed Shui Linglong to take revenge.
But the small piece that was lost in the end really made him feel uneasy...... I always feel like it's going to cause a lot of trouble.
Forget it, let's go out and avoid the limelight according to the original plan from tomorrow.
While sitting behind the desk of the Silence of the Lambs Detective Agency, Jiang Chen casually let the Qi power work in the engraving.
While thinking about where to go tomorrow to avoid the limelight.
From a certain point of view, Jiang Chen was a little too conspicuous during this time.
This afternoon, Gordon has gone to the Public Security Bureau to turn himself in, and has also recovered the "Rainbow Favor" that he stole at the "Guangdao Hotel".
Gordon's surrender can be regarded as returning Jiang Chen's innocence.
So that he no longer has to run to the detention center to go to jail without pretending...... Even that doesn't look like jail time.
For how Gordon committed this case and how he disappeared in the warehouse.
The reply given by Gordon here was that he had learned cartilage skills since he was a child, and he was able to get out of the exhaust window forcefully.
In fact, he did this at the time, but it didn't rely on some cartilage skills.
For such an ending, Bupo and Maya must not be very satisfied.
After all, they worked hard for several days to investigate, and in the end, a criminal turned himself in, and it made no difference whether they were co-authored or not.
Especially Bu Po, he seems to believe that Jiang Chen is the strange thief, and he can't accept the fact that Gordon is a prisoner.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether Bupo accepts this fact or not, what matters is that the Public Security Bureau accepts and releases Jiang Chen.
At this point, the case of Jiang Chen's arrest can be regarded as a successful conclusion.
But even so, at least in the past two or three months, Jiang Chen has no intention of showing up.
He intends to keep a low profile for a while, so as not to trigger a chain reaction.
He had such a big trouble with Yongji and the others going to District 31 before, and finally got out of a black giant.
If Jiang Chen hadn't miscalculated, this matter should have attracted the attention of the "Heavenly Dao Alliance" and "Slaying the Wolf".
It is likely that the two Inhuman organizations will follow Shui Linglong's affairs and start investigating the relevant personnel.
As long as Shui Linglong is investigated, it is easy to find out Jiang Chen's head, and there is a reasonable suspicion that he has something to do with Shui Linglong's death.
Although Shui Linglong is an apostle, it stands to reason that there will be no problem in killing him, and he may even get a reward.
But because Jiang Chen had such a hot potato as the Qinglong mark on his body, he tried not to touch those two Inhuman organizations.
In that case...... Let's slip through for a while.
In the final analysis, Jiang Chen was not a big man in the eyes of those two organizations, and he probably forgot about his existence after a while.
Well...... It's decided, let's slip away.
But although it is said to slip away, where is it better to slip away?
Jiang Chen thought as he picked up his mobile phone casually, wanting to see if there were any recommended tourist attractions or something.
Who knew that just when he opened his phone, he received a text message from the Detectives Association.
Detective Guild? It's the ones who are well fed again.
Speaking of which, Jiang Chen has never joined the Detective Association...... He was joined.
I don't know when the association has regarded him as a member of the association, and he will send something every once in a while.
It's like the "No. 1 Sherlock Holmes of the Year" iron, copper, and gold pipes.
The dyed gold gloves of "No. 1 in the list of most popular detectives...... It's all pompous stuff anyway.
Jiang Chen doesn't remember when he participated in these rankings, but in short, he seems to value him very much.
Every once in a while, he would be invited to participate in strange events held by various associations.
Of course, Jiang Chen has never participated in these bizarre detective activities.
So when he saw that the text message was an invitation to the event sent by the Detective Association, Jiang Chen wanted to swipe it directly.
But when he saw the destination of the event, he stopped what he was doing.
"Centennial Commemoration of the Detective Society...... Requiem for the detectives? ”
The name of this event is okay, right? I always feel like a lot of people are going to die.
After secretly complaining about the name of this event, Jiang Chen took a closer look at the invitation text message.
