Shimao saw "Yusaku Kudo" and Naomi Yamagishi again in an activity room of the hotel.

The Dolphin Hotel has indeed had a glorious past, and the decorations in the activity room are exquisite and elegant, but the style is relatively outdated.

Zhuge Ping and Shimao Akimura sat on both sides of a coffee table. Yamagishi served the two coffees and then sat behind Zhuge Ping.

"I have not been formally introduced before. My name is Shimao Akimura, and I am a detective at the Ginza Police Station."

"You're welcome. I didn't bring a business card before, so please keep it this time." Zhuge Ping also handed over a business card named "Kudo Yusaku" - it was printed just this afternoon.

After being polite, Shimao went straight to the point: "Mr. Kudo, you said before that the name Jacob Fry was key information, but I asked a friend who is familiar with history to search it, and still found nothing. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to tell me some information.

What?"

"Of course, I originally hoped to cooperate with the police," Zhuge Ping said. "It is my pleasure to explore the truth. It is precisely because of this that I have some special information channels. For example, regarding Jacob Frye, what I will do next

These stories are not authentic history and cannot be recognized by most historians. They are only passed down orally in some small circles. You can think that this is unofficial history, or you can think that I am talking nonsense."

Zhuge Ping touched his chin with his left hand, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. "Let's put it this way, how much do you know about the history of the British Victorian period, Mr. Shimao?"

"Well... I basically don't have much interest in foreign history." Shimao said slightly embarrassed.

"Well, you should at least know the legend of Jack the Ripper?"

"I've heard of this before."

"The story of Jacob Fry probably happened during that period, or he became famous earlier. In addition, he was once hostile to Jack the Ripper..."

Next, Zhuge Ping told the wonderful story of "Jacob Frye" in a eloquent way.

However, what he talked about actually had nothing to do with history at all. It was completely the background story of the game "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate".

It can only be said that Zhuge Ping deceived the detective with his words.

However, what he said was so serious that Shimao was unable to tell the truth from the lie.

"So... this Jacob is a famous assassin in British history and the leader of the entire London gang at that time?"

"It can be said that, but it is not comprehensive. Many people will think that his series of criminal activities at that time were actually exercising justice and safeguarding the interests of the people at the bottom of London. He was a character who committed crimes but had justice in his heart." Old God Zhuge Ping

Talking about it.

"But why don't we know about such people?"

"It is possible that as the underground emperor of London at the time, he erased all written records of his past. If his power is really as powerful as the legend says, he should be able to do it. There is also a possibility that the story itself is fabricated

of."

"You made it up?" Shimao said, "You talked to me for almost an hour, and then you told me that it was made up?"

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, I'm not a historian." Zhuge Ping made a calm gesture, "The key is that this legend is indeed very popular among a small group of people who like crime history. If the suspect in this case is

Unless someone happens to be named Jacob Frye..."

"That means he also knows this story, and...he wants to use this name to metaphor something." Shimao murmured.

"It's very possible." Zhuge Ping affirmed. "And there is another point. According to legend, Jacob Fry once invaded the Royal Bank of England and killed him because he couldn't stand the unscrupulous capitalists using financial games to extort people.

A leading financial tycoon at the time."

"Is there such a thing?" Shimao was surprised.

"It may not be true, but don't you think this sounds familiar? Let's not mention this bank invasion for now. As far as I know, a prominent figure in the financial world did die in Tokyo just a few months ago."

"Kazunari Hyoudou!" Shimao almost shouted. "But the person who reported the crime said he was accidentally attacked by a gangster."

"A powerful person who was able to leverage Japan's national financial situation," Zhuge Ping said, "was shot to death by a street gangster? What do you think the probability is? Anyway, I would rather believe that he died of a well-planned murder."

"I will check it out. It is necessary to investigate these two cases together," Shimao said.

"It is necessary to investigate the gangs in Tokyo, especially the gangs related to the Diai Group." Zhuge Ping added.

"Why is this?"

"First, if you are a gangster, you are very likely to be proud of using the pseudonym 'Jacob Frye'. For gangsters, Jacob is a legendary spiritual leader.

Second, it is difficult for outsiders to know the structure of the vault and how to open the door. I believe you are also suspecting that an insider committed the crime, and the level is not low, right?"

"Yes, this is indeed a current direction of investigation." Shimao nodded.

"Then I suggest you open your mind. The so-called 'insiders' are not necessarily employees of financial companies. Teiai Group has close ties with the local gangs in Tokyo. Some underworld bosses can also be said to be insiders of Teiai Financial.

." Zhuge Ping smiled and said, "If you really want to check in this direction, you must pay attention to safety."

"Yeah, I understand." I don't know when Shimao started to take out his small notebook and write down Zhuge Ping's words. "Is there a third one?"

"The third is the message left by the suspect - slaves can also defeat the king. If there is indeed a connection between 'Jacob Frye' who invaded the treasury and the death of Hyoudou Kazuno, then we have reason to suspect,'

Does "King" refer to Hyoudou Kazuno?"

"It is indeed possible that someone of Hyoudou Kazuno's rank could be referred to as a 'king' in the circle." Shimao was completely led into the ditch, and subconsciously echoed: "If that's the case, 'slave'

It should refer to...the murderer himself!"

"Yes, we might as well assume that the metaphor of 'slave' should have the following meaning: he is ruled by the 'king'; he is oppressed and does dirty work; and he must be attached to the king, or to this kingdom

Only in this way can we survive." Zhuge Ping continued to induce, "Of course this is just a guess. Maybe the king and the slaves have other ideas. But this is at least one direction. Unfortunately, I can only make this kind of guess myself.

Ability and connections cannot be verified."

"I understand," Shimao nodded, "these clues are very important, I will check them as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work," Zhuge Pingping said sincerely, "Then... when can we go to the site to survey?"

"We?" Shimao was stunned for a moment.

"We are referring to Yamagishi and I," Zhuge Ping pointed to himself, and then to Naomi Yamagishi who was making a second cup of coffee for everyone in the corner of the room, "Of course you can accompany us again if you have time.

.It just makes it convenient for us to ask questions about doubtful points at any time."

"Well, I... I don't think I agreed, after all, let outsiders enter the scene..."

"That's too much." Yamagishi just came over with coffee and interjected: "I thought Mr. Shimao came because he agreed to some kind of 'exchange', but it turned out that he came with nothing."
