Niigata Prefecture is located in the north-central part of Honshu Island, and their destination is in the southeastern part of Niigata Prefecture near the mountains.
Due to the cold climate and geographical environment, New Taipei Nosawa Village has become a well-known ski resort in Japan. Recently, a snow play festival was held there, attracting many ordinary tourists.
It's a long way from Miwa. It would have been more convenient to take the Shinkansen or bus, but Angstra said that Apello was carrying a lot of bombs with him, and Zhufu Jingguang didn't dare to take such a person on public transportation, so he planned to Drive the whole way there.
Fortunately, Angostela had no objection, and after looking at his face again, Apello had no objection either.
The three of them hit the road like this.
…
"The subway opening ceremony was canceled, the police found a large number of bombs in the tunnel, and the governor of Asakura canceled his original travel plan..."
The reporter's voice came from the radio in the car, and Jing Baiye was studying his system map.
His system map can mark the location of bombs, but it can only show those that are activated and are about to detonate. Those that are not activated will not be displayed - take Apello at the back as an example. He knows that he is used to carrying a bunch of dangerous items with him, but The map shows him as a blue dot without any red squares on it.
It was like this in the morning. Everything on the map of Miwa Town was normal when he first set off, but after he received the person, the ceremony site and the inside of the tunnel suddenly flashed a large red color, which was the prisoner pressing the bomb button.
Scotland was in charge of driving, and Jing Baiye didn't want to disturb him, so he turned to look at Apero behind him.
"Apero, what does your cousin look like?"
This is one of the shortcomings of the Jing Baiye system map. If it is an enemy with malicious intentions towards him, it will be directly displayed as a red dot on the map; if it is an enemy he identifies himself, only he knows the opponent's appearance and name. System Map It will appear only when above.
"It's ugly."
Apello showed an even more disgusted expression than Bourbon who saw Rai.
"It's so ugly that I don't even want to admit that I have the same grandmother as him."
When Jing Baiye communicated with Apello yesterday, he told him the detailed process of being tricked.
He and his cousin Yamao Keisuke originally grew up in Kitanosawa Village. When he became an adult, he went to Tokyo to study at university, while his cousin stayed in that village.
This man had always been idle. He saw his cousin studying in Tokyo and wanted to work in the big city. As a result, he owed a huge gambling debt. On his way back to his hometown to hide from the debt, he accidentally hit and killed someone. The police later found out that he was drunk, so he was jailed. Several years in prison.
After the New Year, Yamao Keisuke was released, and it was Apello who went to pick him up. Apero's parents died young, and he was raised by his grandmother. Yamao Keisuke's imprisonment shocked his grandmother, and she died not long after. Before she died, she begged Apello to help this useless person again - this was the only reason for him to pick up this blood relative.
As a result, his good intentions were not rewarded. Apero gave Yamao Keisuke a house of his own in the urban area of Niigata Prefecture. However, a few days later, he found that the alarm in the house had been triggered. When he rushed over, The cousin and the bomb he had left there were gone.
From the messy notes he left behind, Appero discovered that he had great ill will towards the current governor of Tokyo and the reservoir built a few years ago.
Scotland could tell that the relationship between the cousins was quite bad, and he joined in the conversation:
"This is not a question of whether he is ugly or not... Do you have any photos or portraits of him? Our mission this time is to find him."
When he mentioned the mission, Apello frowned. He was like a vault key dropped into a basin of filth. He was extremely disgusted and had to suppress his nausea to reach out. He suppressed his anger and began to remember.
"The few times I met him as an adult were not pleasant, and I didn't leave any photos of him..." he said for a moment. "There was only a news clipping I left after he was imprisoned. There was a black and white picture of him on it." According to."
"That's it." Jing Baiye decided, "Where are the newspaper clippings?"
"In my residence over there in Ze Village, New Taipei."
————
The Lexus stopped in a patch of snow.
In front of them was an A-shaped two-story villa, half hidden in the forest. Zhufu Jingguang drove all the way and saw no other houses nearby.
Apello got out of the car first, took out his keys from his pocket and walked towards the door.
Seeing that he had gone far away, Zhu Fu Jingguang quietly pulled Angostela and asked: "Does he live here alone?"
"Well, Apello is a bit special. He is said to be a member of the action team, but his fighting and firearms skills are average and he is not suitable for facing the enemy head-on. In the past few years, he has gradually transformed into half a member of the logistics equipment department."
Angstra explained briefly. He looked at Appello's back. His long red hair was particularly eye-catching among the white snow.
"And he is extremely picky about the looks of the people around him and refuses to see the faces of ordinary people every day, so he lives here alone... But there is no need to worry about him being targeted by others. He has many houses and will not live in one place for a long time. "
Zhu Fu Jingguang was speechless.
He thought that Angstra, who fainted after being hit in the face, had terrible facial control, but he didn't expect this...
Apero opened the door on the other side, and he turned back to look at them: "What are you talking about there?"
"nothing."
Angstra replied, he quickly pulled Zhu Fu Jingguang towards the door, and the three of them entered the villa together.
This is a wooden villa. There are no walls to separate different rooms. There is a large heater in the living area. You can see the snow outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Sofas and several bookshelves are placed in the corners.
It was very clean inside and looked like it had been cleaned not long ago.
"The newspaper clippings are on the shelf. Because they were from a long time ago, I can't tell which one it is." Apello walked to the bookshelf, took out one, flipped through it, and then stuffed it back again: "There is no important information in it. You can come over and look for it together."
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was an undercover agent, was stunned when he heard this. Angostela didn't think much and walked over directly.
There were a lot of things on the bookshelf. Angstra did not touch the books that looked like ordinary books at first glance. He took off the thick storage book and looked through it. When Zhu Fujing saw him being so casual, Apello did not criticize him. , so he walked to them and started rummaging together.
When Aperro wasn't showing disgust or opening his mouth to belittle others, he was as beautiful as a character who stepped out of a painting.
"Are you used to coming to Japan?" he asked without raising his head.
"fine."
Angstra put the wrong thing back as it was, and then took out a new one.
"Gin didn't prepare another disgusting solitary room for you, did he?"
"No."
Zhufu Jingguang, who was paying attention to their conversation while looking through things, couldn't help but ask: "What is the confinement room? What did Gin do to you?"
Apello looked kindly to him, and even gave him an answer: "Members of the organization will go to the solitary room for committing crimes, and the time limit for staying there will be determined based on the severity of the mistake. Angostela has been locked up before."
Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned. He had seen gin punish people, but he couldn't imagine how the young Angostela would be punished at that time.
"Gin is a devil. Whatever others are afraid of, he will deliberately torture them wherever he goes!"
As if out of empathy and anger, Apello clenched his fists and suddenly turned up the volume.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart suddenly lifted.
"He knew clearly that Angstra only had one pair of eyes to appreciate beauty, but he actually... took him to an exclusive solitary room filled with posters and photos of ugly people to think about it!"
"It's too much! It's disgusting! What kind of devil can do such a thing!!"
"If I was treated like this, I would blow myself up on the spot and show him!!!"
"…………"
Zhu Fu Jingguang was so angry that he almost lost his breath and almost lost control of his expression.
Facing Apello's gaze that said, "Do you think the gin is too much?", he couldn't understand and forced a smile, struggling to organize his words.
"Gin...sometimes it's quite excessive..."
It's normal for Angstra to like good-looking people, but Apero who cares about such things and threatens to blow himself up...is there something serious wrong with his brain?
Zhu Fu Jingguang withdrew his gaze and did not want to pay attention to the abnormal member next to him. He took down the things on the bookshelf and continued his previous work.
When he opened it, he found that it was not a newspaper clipping, but a photo album.
The page he turned to was a graduation photo, with the words "Xxxx graduates of Mihua University's Ammunition Engineering and Explosive Technology major taking a group photo" below.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was silent. He remembered that the other majors in Mihua University were average, but only this major in explosive technology provided many outstanding talents to the society every year.
His eyes swept across the faces, and suddenly his eyes stopped and fell on the face of someone in the row. He stared at it and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
This face... He remembered this face very clearly...
——It is the face of one of the criminals who killed Kenji Hagiwara three years ago.
