Chi Feichi folded up the map and installed it, took out his mobile phone, and sent an email to Rum.
[Akai Shuichi met his companion Shimono Itchome. The base was near Street 101. There were at least ten people. ——Raki]
After he participated in the investigation, he first determined that Akai Shuichi was active in Midori Town, and then followed Akai Shuichi for several days.
Although it is easy for Fei Mo to follow the crows, he cannot directly use the results of the crows to deal with the organization. It is best to run out and investigate by himself. Don't play the game of 'leave it alone, I will investigate, and I will tell you after I've done it' That kind of mysticism is easily suspect.
With Akai Shuichi's acuity, it would be difficult for others to follow him for several days without being noticed, but he could use several disguised faces, different identities, and different means of transportation provided by the organization to keep track of Akai Shuichi.
In the past seven days, Akai Shuichi occasionally stayed in Midorita Town, and occasionally ran around, almost all over Tokyo. Sometimes he just went for a drive and looked at the scenery, maybe to check whether there was a follower behind him, and sometimes I met with an FBI at a temporary location, and the stronghold was discovered only twice.
One is in Miki Bridge, the other is in Shimono tonight, plus the FBI in Midorita Town, totaling more than 20 people, this should be the entire FBI manpower for illegal entry this time.
Even if there are other places, there are only one or two.
In other words, the investigation of the FBI is basically over, and the rest is left to the person in charge of intelligence to infiltrate the three locations to confirm, without him having to investigate anymore.
While waiting for a reply, the crows who reported the situation did not stay long and flew away one after another. Only Feimo stood on the railing and looked at the lights in the distance and the night wind.
Chi Feichi was still leaning on the concrete platform, scrolling through emails on his mobile phone.
Shimizu Reiko went to confirm the information herself. The guns she requested had been delivered, and the confirmed operation time was April 4th...
He hates people who just give out dates.
Feichi poked his head out of his collar to peek at the screen. Very good, it was time for him to help his master solve his problems again. "Master, not counting tonight, there are still six days."
Chi Feichi sent an email to Midorikawa Saki.
[The estimated time of Shimizu Reiko's action is April 4th, keep an eye on it. ——Raki]
He should be on the cruise ship at that time, so it's not convenient to control him. It would be enough for Midorikawa Saki to keep an eye on him.
"Buzz..."
"Buzz..."
Two new emails came in one after another.
The reply from Saki Midorikawa was 'Ok', no need to reply again.
The other one was from Rum, and it didn’t contain much.
[Bourbon is rushing to Shimono. His investigation results are Otaru, Hashiko, and Shimono. I am going to release the bait, which will take about half a month to prepare. ——Rum]
【Okay. ——Raki]
It is normal that Toru Amuro's investigation results are different from his, because Toru Amuro was investigating the false clues released by Shuichi Akai.
However, Tohru Amuro actually found this place in Shimono. It is unlikely that Shuichi Akai was negligent at the critical moment. After all, this is a large gathering place. Except for the one-family building used for meetings, more than ten people are usually scattered around Shimono. Town.
So, it is very likely that Shimono was deliberately released by Hideki Akai.
The organization must gain something to make the false clues appear real. There are so many people here that the organization cannot rush in and force them to do anything, and it can also ensure the safety of these people.
Once something is done, the people here may be just smoke bombs used to mislead the organization's judgment.
Rum should understand this. He doesn't need to think about it. Now he just waits for Rum to put out the bait and lure the FBI people out to fight.
In addition, you should check in with that person about sailing.
[Five days later, the cruise ship participating in the Yatsushiro Consortium made its maiden voyage, and Kogoro Mori was accompanying him. ——Raki]
That person responded quickly:
[Raki, the relationship between the Chi family and the Yashiro family is not good. Why do you want to participate in the maiden voyage this time? 】
[Trying to get the plague god Kogoro to curse them to death? ——Raki]
that one:"……"
Okay, I have nothing more to say, please feel free to do so.
On the rooftop, Chi Feichi put away his cell phone, and also packed up the blood bottles left on the rooftop, cleaning up the traces, "Feimo, let Xiaomei tell Yashiro Enzaburo..."
"Godfather," Hiroki Sawada suddenly spoke from his cell phone, "Grandpa said that he wants you to meet Yashiro Enzaburo in person. Although he knows that your identity may cause trouble, you can't just act behind the scenes. There are times when you need to stand up.”
"I know," Chi Feichi cleaned up the traces, "Feimo, let Xiaomei tell Yashiro Enzaburo to let him go to the seaside park alone, and you should take safety precautions in advance."
He understood that Ike Shinnosuke's concerns were simply that he was used to working behind the scenes and would not be able to stand up when he needed to stand up in the future.
In fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong with being behind the scenes. Including Umbrella in the future, only other people would speak to the outside world. He didn't want to be exposed to the eyes of the world. Being stared at would lose a lot of fun.
Umbrella is different from other consortiums and groups. As long as the core of Ark is under his control, he will not lose power.
But it’s okay to stand up and give it a try this time, just don’t let yourself get addicted.
Anyway, Yashiro Enzaburo is being closely watched. If the old man dares to make any small moves, then he should be dealt with as soon as possible.
…
port area.
Yashiro Enzaburo hung out in a book bar that was open 24 hours a day, flipping through a book absentmindedly.
Most of the people in this kind of book bar are young people, and he is not used to it, but the lights are on 24 hours a day, and insomniacs come to fall asleep by reading all the time. He feels safe here.
He would rather feel out of place than stay in a room alone or go somewhere alone.
That ghost is so scary.
And if he comes to read a book, he can also look for some historical information to see if he can escape from the persecution of the female ghost...
Xiaomei stayed hidden and heard a crow crow outside the window. She floated out for a while and then came back. She stood behind Yashiro Yanzaburo, looked at the people around her, bent down and leaned close to Yashiro Yanzaburo's right ear, and whispered He said, "So you like history..."
The lowered voice was soft and gentle, and as he spoke, wisps of cold breeze hit the back of Yashiro Nobuzaburo's ears.
Yashiro Enzaburo froze, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back and forehead. He did not dare to turn his head and look to the right.
There were so many people, but they couldn't suppress that female ghost!
The female ghost suddenly said this. Could it be that his intention was discovered?
Is the female ghost actually warning and mocking him?
"My master wants to see you and go to the seaside park alone." Xiaomei leaned into Yashiro Enzaburo's ear and straightened up after speaking.
This person is not as bold as Miss Xiaoai. She already speaks very gently and smiles politely. In order not to cause trouble to others, when staring at Yashiro Enzaburo, she is either squatting in the closet or under the table. Yashiro Enzaburo was so frightened to float his face on the tea in the cup. He was really very timid.
Yashiro Enzaburo swallowed his saliva, stood up and put the books back on the bookshelf, then went to the front desk to pay the bill. After waiting for a long time before going out, he sent the bodyguard and hailed a taxi himself.
He was looking forward to meeting the 'master' behind the female ghost, and asked the other party to tell him if he had any conditions, and stop letting the female ghost pester him. He was old and couldn't stand the torment, but he was also afraid of meeting him when he arrived. In a more terrifying scene, he is afraid that the other party's purpose is to kill him, and that he will die miserably...
In the sky, a crow followed Xiaomei's body.
Xiaomei remained invisible and sat next to Yashiro Nobuzaburo until the taxi stopped and Yashiro Nobuzaburo got off, then she walked around the area in advance and found Chi Feichi's location.
In the seaside park late at night, colorful lights are hung on the green trees and shrubs.
Properly matched colored lights can create cartoon images of marine life on trees and grass.
Since it was past one o'clock in the morning, there was not a single soul on the road, and it was empty and silent, just like an empty amusement park that should have been lively. Only the machinery and flashing lights were left in operation, making it dreamy and strange.
Yashiro Enzaburo walked slowly on the road, looking around, and suddenly saw the female ghost standing quietly under the cherry blossom tree whose branches were covered with pink lights.
"Mr. Yashiro Nobuzaburo, please follow me." Xiaomei assumed the role of Chi Feichi's housekeeper, bowed to Nobuhiro Yashiro without expression, then turned around and floated along the road.
Yashiro Enzaburo hesitated for a moment, but still followed, with a subtle mood.
This female ghost usually scares him with her bared teeth, but when she is near the 'master' she calls her, she becomes so serious and polite, which makes him even more nervous.
Xiaomei floated across the square with colored lights lighting up animal patterns, past the colored fountains, and across the forest paths illuminated by colored lights. The already bright colors of the twelve layers of single clothes were reflected more gorgeously by the lights, and her long back The pendulum dragged on the ground, erratic, and dragged forward evenly.
Yashiro Enzaburo followed behind with his head lowered, raising his head to take a sneak peek from time to time.
This was the first time he took a closer look at the female ghost's clothes.
Twelve-layer unlined garments were court attire worn by female officials above the rank of wife in the Heian period. "Twelve-layered" is just a name. In fact, it only has nine layers including the garb.
The female ghost in front of me wears nine layers of clothing. The outermost short coat is also called "Tang Yi". In that era, "red, purple, and green" were forbidden colors, and only three or more people who had received amnesty could wear them. The ghost was wearing a purple Tang Yi with chrysanthemum and peony patterns embroidered on it.
Moreover, in the early days of Wuyi, there were five layers of clothes of different colors. In the middle and late Heian period, it evolved into the nvgui style, where only five layers of fabric were stitched on the collar and back hem of one garment.
Immediately, Yashiro Enzaburo made a judgment in his mind:
The female ghost comes from the mid-to-late Heian period and has a very high status, either a queen or an imperial daughter.
And, silently recalling the tragic deaths of queens and princesses in history at that time.
Just thinking about it over and over again, I had no idea, and I also thought of a man - Emperor Sotoku, who was known as the 'First Wraith Spirit' and the 'Great Demon'.
He ascended the throne at a young age and had no real power. He was forced to abdicate as Emperor at the age of 23. He launched the Baoyuan Rebellion and was exiled to Sanuki after the failure. He spent three years writing five Mahayana sutras in blood and begged the court to send the Buddhist sutras to Kyoto and have them in the temple. But this The request was also rejected, and Emperor Sotoku committed suicide after vowing to "become Japan's great devil."
Due to the continuous disasters in Japan after the death of Emperor Sotoku, there was no peace for both the government and the public, and they were caught in a seven-hundred-year-long war. It was not until Emperor Meiji came to the throne that his spiritual throne was brought to Kyoto's Shirakine Shrine for enshrinement, and a short-term peace was ushered in. , so in the legend, Emperor Sutoku is called the 'Great Demon' and the 'Misfortune God'. His image is a golden kite, and he leads the Tengu to guard the White Peak.
The bizarre experiences he had in recent days completely shattered his worldview and made him believe even more in the legends of ghosts and gods. He also began to wonder whether this incident was related to the Great Demon Fate of the Heian Era, and whether the Great Demon Fate was planning to return...
