Chapter 125 The Story(1/2)
Chapter 125 Story
On the crowded street, a black Draman was driving slowly.
In the carriage.
Tang Yu was sitting on the soft leather car seat, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Draman asked politely: "Mr. Tang, you look a little tired. If you don't mind, Draman can play some soothing music for you."
Tang Yu ignored Lao De and was still thinking about what happened in the hotel before.
Just now, he successfully persuaded Aunt Mei to accept Joanne Coach's 'big gift'.
And Aunt May also used her power to successfully help him obtain the information, which Sasha passed to News 54 two years ago.
Meredith also sent him a piece of information about the recent developments of the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department. It was said that Arasaka special agents were still investigating the Uzumaki Gang's transaction that night, and had even secretly discovered military technology.
She knew that this was definitely not Tang Yu's arrangement. After all, Tang Yu was very clear about the transaction situation of the Whirlpool Gang's abandoned steel plant, and there was no need to make any unnecessary moves.
Meredith learned that the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department had a new deputy director, and that he was transferred from the R&D Department. She immediately understood that this was an infighting within the Arasaka Department.
Therefore, this secret investigation is most likely carried out by the new deputy minister, who may be trying to dig out some information.
Meredith reminded Tang Yu to keep an eye out. Although she had picked up the tail of the matter, if Kate continued to entangle, there would inevitably be no accidents.
Meredith and Tang Yu have the same position on the matter of military-grade Sian Westan.
Tang Yu now knows that the new deputy minister Kate is here for him, and his hostility is too obvious.
Kate secretly investigated the completed mission, probably to search for evidence to bring down Tang Yu.
Tang Yu didn't expect to give in to the guy, but the other guy wanted to take the opportunity to kick him in the face.
Tang Yu is calm. He believes that Kate is just a lackey after all. Now in order to please the people above, he naturally has to perform something.
Even if Kate is killed now, there will still be Ott, Bart, and the like running around in the future.
Michiko has already acquiesced in the Uzumaki Gang incident, and Kate is asking for trouble if she continues to investigate.
So what if we find out, the murderer who annihilated the three Arasaka special service teams was not the Uzumaki Gang, but military technology.
With such an earth-shattering incident breaking out, I'm afraid the two companies will start a new round of hot war.
Blatantly violating the tacit understanding between the two companies and engaging in a hot war in downtown Night City is a clear declaration of war.
Tang Yu believed that Saburo Arasaka, who was far away in Kyoto, would not allow it.
The prince, Arasaka Yorinobu, is eager to start working with military technology as soon as possible.
But as long as his father Saburo Arasaka is alive, he is just a prince and cannot be the head of Arasaka Company.
What's more, it was Aunt Mei who annihilated the three Arasaka special forces, so no matter how hard you calculate, it can't be blamed on him.
Tang Yu didn't take this matter too seriously. When he had some free time, he would go back to the company and teach Kate a lesson so that the new deputy minister would know what the rules of the Counterintelligence Department were.
Soothing music was flowing in the carriage. Tang Yu suddenly felt that Delamain's taste was not bad, and he felt that he was really relaxed, so he said casually.
"Lao De, you just plan to drive a taxi for the rest of your life. Have you ever thought about doing something big?"
Draman's mechanical voice replied: "I don't quite understand what you mean. Human beings have a lifetime, but Draman doesn't have one, so there's no need to do anything big."
Tang Yu discovered that Lao De was really slippery. After spending so many years in human society, he might have almost become a proficient programmer.
"Let's change our destination and go to North Oak Cemetery."
After hearing Tang Yu's instructions, Delamain immediately said: "The destination has been changed to Westbrook North Oak Cemetery. Please allow me to ask, do you have any old friends there?"
Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "There used to be, but not yet. I just went there to have a look."
Back then, he had some acquaintances and friends who had been lying there.
Whether it was the epitaphs on the ashes niches or the electronic blue-ray imaging, they all impressed him deeply.
Sleep well, dear prince.
She fought against the system and died heroically.
Be loyal to the company until death.
Queen of the afterlife.
Never fade away.
dreamer.
In fact, Tang Yu was not going to see an old friend, but to see Sasha's late single mother Galina.
He learned from Mann that Sasha's mother was buried in North Oak Cemetery.
After Tang Yu completed the transaction with Aunt Mei, he successfully obtained the information.
He then informed Gloria and asked Mann to hand over Joanne Kochi to the people at Military Technology.
After Tang Yu got the information, he quickly checked the contents.
The main content is about a painkiller developed and produced by biotechnology. It is mainly used to block neuropathic pain. However, the painkiller does not disclose its side effects, including neurodegeneration.
Why did Sasha fight until the end of his life to leak this painkiller information to News 54?
Tang Yu has vaguely noticed that the answer may be related to Sasha's deceased single mother. Now he goes to the cemetery to take a look to confirm his speculation.
Delamain began to change direction and galloped all the way towards the North Oak Area.
soon.
Delamain arrives at its destination.
Tang Yu asked Lao De to wait where he was, then opened the car door and started towards the cemetery hall.
After walking up two flights of steps, you can see the cemetery hall. A straight and spacious marble pavement is paved to the end, with walls of neatly arranged columbarium niches on both sides.
Each columbarium with an owner will display an electronic blue-ray epitaph, telling the story of that person's life.
Tang Yu walked into the hall. The alcove was gray and seemed a bit cold.
Strangers in twos and threes, holding flowers or necklaces, stand in front of the ashes of their deceased friends, muttering something. When the love reaches the depths, they will inevitably hide their faces and sigh, and then put the things in their hands into the niche.
.
In Night City's cemeteries, many columbariums may not contain ashes. After all, whether the ashes can be kept depends on fate.
Some people just die, and even their corpses rot and stink in no one knows where.
Some people die violently, and their ashes may not be left behind.
Some people died in mysterious circumstances and were sunk to the bottom of the sea with their bodies unknown.
Therefore, many ashes niches here contain souvenirs, such as the mementos that the deceased carried with him during his lifetime.
Tang Yu turned on the scan and looked around, looking for the ashes of Sasha's mother 'Galina'.
Soon, Tang Yu discovered the ashes of 'Galina' on the third wall on the right.
He got up and walked over to check the electronic epitaph on the columbarium.
"She fought for our country - Galina."
Tang Yu couldn't help but fell silent.
Fighting for the country seems to be enough to explain the life of this single mother.
He looked at the epitaph in front of him and understood everything instantly.
War, veterans, trauma, painkillers, News 54, country, death.
These key words were continuously arranged and combined in front of Tang Yu's eyes, and the story behind Sasha was finally revealed.
In Night City, this is a clichéd story, as cliched as it gets.
Because there are many people like Galina, and they can't even be counted in Night City.
This is also a sad story. When it happens to a family, a single mother, and a child, it has already announced a sad ending.
All they can do is feel sorry for themselves.
But now it seems that Sasha's last desperate efforts did not get the results he wanted.
News 54 did receive this information, but chose to remain silent and did not make it public.
The reason for this, I'm afraid Sasha can't understand.
After Tang Yu saw the columbarium, he turned around and left, returning to Delamain Rental.
Delamain asked politely: "Mr. Tang, where is your next destination?"
Tang Yu was silent.
After a while, he murmured.
"Go home."
On the way home, Tang Yu stared at the receding scenery outside the window, feeling his heart inexplicably blocked.
Even though the scenes in front of him continued to pass quickly, he could not calm down his mind.
To be continued...
