Chapter 162

 

South of Tokyo, on the Northern Part of Machida City, there was a large mansion that covered an area of four hundred square meters. This area was previously a park and later, the current President of the j.a.pan Science and Technology Industry a.s.sociation Zhuishan Zhangci bought this land through his connection. He then turned it into a large mansion.

This was the social reality in Tokyo, the world famous metropolis where the land price was exorbitantly expensive. For some people, to buy a few dozen square meters house required an exhausting work, while others could easily live in a mansion and be merry.

j.a.pan Science and Technology Industry a.s.sociation was established in the early postwar period in order to unite the j.a.panese Business Community. The purpose of this organization was to revitalize the j.a.panese economy. Originally it was named as j.a.pan Industry Revitalization a.s.sociation, later on, it was changed to the current name twenty years ago. Although nominally belong to the civil society organizations, and the key members were non-officials, but it has the public and semi-public support from the Government.

The a.s.sociation’s current president Zhuishan Zhangci himself was the largest shareholder in a big real estate company. At the same time, It was also said that he was a fanatical patriot.

Zhuishan Zhangci’s large mansion was surrounded by 4.5 meters high fence, with a very unsightly barbed wire on top. Perhaps the mansion owner thought that, relative to the visual impact, the safety in the inside was more important. Just as he once talked with foreign words: It does not matter if the j.a.panese Self-Defense force is not like an Army, as long as there are troops and weapons with army quality, that is enough.

At this time, it was already one o’clock in the morning. A shadow suddenly appeared outside of the wall of the mansion.

That shadow threw a small stone toward the barbed wire atop the wall to determine whether it was powered with high voltage electricity or not. After determining that it was not, that dark figure slowly climbed the wall.

After climbing the wall, the man did not see a dog coming after him. Therefore he thought: ‘Perhaps this Zhuishan Zhangci does not like dogs. Looks like he is the same as me.’

Although there was no dog, the man did not immediately jump over because he saw through the infrared gla.s.ses that he wore infrared beams covered the whole area in front of him.

But to this man, it was a much better condition than dealing with watchdogs that he should kill but unable to.

On the other side, at this time, the master of the house Zhuishan Zhangci was doing a strenuous exercise that was not suitable for people of his age.

The man was already more than sixty years old, and few age spots began to appear on his body. He was leaning over the body of a woman and violently twitched.

Perhaps thinking that he can draw the vitality from a young body, he especially liked younger women. A female college student was his tonight’s dinner.

He was very proud of the fact that he can keep such a good effort even when he was over sixty years old.

However, time is unforgiving to human after all. After holding on for a few minutes, he finally collapsed on top of the female college student’s body like a dying fish, desperately gasping for breath.

“Mr. Zhui, Zhuishan, you are really good, it was amazing.” The female college student deliberately panted and said.

Although inside his heart he knew this was untrue, the words of the female college student pleased Zhuishan Zhangci very much.

“Rest a.s.sured, I will help you look for a good position in Daejon trading company.”

“Thank you, Mr. Zhuishan, I will never forget your kindness.” Although the man’s tone sounded like he was giving alms, the female college student still showed a grateful look.

That college girl’s expression, to a certain extent, stimulated Zhuishan Zhangci’s sense of superiority. He liked seeing the way other people gave him a grateful look.

“Turn off the light, I want to get some sleep.” Intense drowsiness dispelled his idea that he was ready to do it again.

“Yes, Mr. Zhuishan.” The college girl immediately turned off the light.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Zhuishan Zhangci suddenly was awakened by a sharp pain. He opened his eyes to look and saw a figure wrapped in a black suit from top to bottom also looked at him as well as held his jaw. The severe pain came from his jaw that was caught by the figure in front of him.

Being suddenly grabbed by the jaw like that, Zhuishan Zhangci’s heart suddenly was filled with a sense of panic. He wanted to break free from the figure’s hand but found that he cannot move his body.

He was unable to move not because of being tied by a rope. He cannot even move his finger as if the body was not his own.

This unprecedented terror experience made him uncontrollably called out. But because his jaw was clasped by the man, apart from calling out “uh, uh” strange sound, he was unable to utter another word.

“If you do not want to die, shut the f.u.c.k up.” That man in black coldly said to him.

The fear of death made Zhuishan Zhangci ignored his strange physical condition and quieted down. Terrified look appeared on his face as he looked at the man in black in front of him.

Because of the backlight, in addition to seeing the full black attire of that person, he did not see the contour of the face of the man in black. But with his tone of voice, Zhuishan Zhangci felt that the person in front of him was not old.

‘Is this a house robbery or an a.s.sa.s.sin sent by my enemies?’ He vowed that if he can survive this, he would definitely change all the bodyguards. ‘They do not even know someone comes into the house, what a bunch of useless.’

“Are you Zhuishan Zhangci?” That man asked as he loosened his jaw.

“I, I am Zhuishan Zhangci. I can give you anything you want, but please do not kill me.” Although he can talk, this President of j.a.pan Science and Technology a.s.sociation did not dare to make a sound to call for help, because he knew, as long as he yelled, he will immediately be killed by this man.

“Anything I want? Then I want you to look at me.”

Hearing his words, Zhuishan Zhangci involuntarily raised his head to look at him.

After a while, the man in black slowly asked: “Now, do you know who I am?”

“I do not know.” Zhuishan Zhangci’s panicked look disappeared from his face, replaced by a glazed expression.

“Did Yasuyama f.u.kuju tell you that there is a woman named Eiko Kotos.h.i.+, who are investigating the man named ‘Goyama?’”

“Yes.” Zhuishan Zhangci replied without a trace of hesitation.

“Did you send people to catch Eiko Kotos.h.i.+?”

“No.”

Hearing his answer, the man in black cursed in his heart, ‘just another p.a.w.n.’

“Who did you tell this info?”

“Ikeyama Togoto.”

“Who is he?” The man in black felt as if he had heard this name.

“He is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.”

Lei Yin finally remembered the last time he attended the birthday party on Narimura Haruko’s invitation in Keio Hotel. The birthday man, who was also the master of that Party, was called Ikeyama Togoto. ‘It seems like this matter really involves senior government official. No wonder they dare to catch an Inspector Police like Eiko Kotos.h.i.+.’

After some detailed questioning, Lei Yin can no longer think of another question, and had to end the conversation.

After he erased all of Zhuishan Zhangci’s memories of him, he let the man continued to lay back on his bed, and then quietly left the room.

After climbing out of the mansion wall, Lei Yin exchanged his outfit for ordinary clothing.

On his way back, he slowly thought about things.

‘Tokyo City Government? I hope this guy is the big fish.’ He was tired of always moving around in the middle of those small shrimp and small fish.

In order to find out about the lab, Lei Yin used the most direct but also the hardest way, and that is to track the clues one after another to find the inside man.

From the evening of this day, starting from the testimony of police uncle called Watanabe Muramasa, he looked up the names that appeared from that confession one by one. Although this method was very simple, it can only be done by a man who can use spiritual force to hypnotize other people like him. Because hypnosis is not as magical as one might think, in normal circ.u.mstances, if the one being hypnotized produced a strong resistance, even the more powerful hypnosis master would fail to hypnotize that person. But Lei Yin can do this using his spiritual force. And the effectiveness was also many times greater than ordinary hypnosis.

Not only he can use this to obtain the needed information, but the most important thing was also he can use this method to clear his trace, so as not to alert those people. Otherwise, it would be as before, because Ji Teba and the others had escaped, the lab had been completely emptied, and not even a sc.r.a.p of paper was left behind.

Moving her gaze away from the textbook, Kazumi raised her head to look at his elder brother, who was lying down sleeping on the sofa.

Kazumi shook her head, where did this guy fool around in the evening? Recently he always looked like he did not get enough sleep.

Feeling a little thirsty, she stood up and went to pour a gla.s.s of water, and then walked over to him.

But when she was just a few steps away from him, he suddenly opened his eyes, quickly sat up and looked at her.

“Are you a cat?” Kazumi did not understand why every time she came near him, he always detected her.

“I cannot control it, so you better get used to it. What time is it now?” Keeping a sharp vigilance toward his surrounding has become his instinct.

“It is two o’clock in the afternoon. Don’t you have a cla.s.s?”

“I do not want to go to the cla.s.s. How are your feet?”

“I can walk now, that means I am okay. I am going to go to cla.s.s tomorrow.”

“Are you sure? Do not force yourself.”

“Of course I am okay, you are so long winded.” Kazumi could not help but laugh.

“Good, some people began to find me annoying.” Lei Yin’s face showed an angry expression.

“Please, do not even try it, you are so fake. Today the weather is so good, let us go outside for a walk.” Having been bored inside the apartment for several days, Kazumi almost felt her body would grow out molds.

“I am so sleepy. I just wanted to sleep. Moreover, your feet has just healed, it is better for you to get some more rest.” Lei Yin really did not want to move. These few days he almost always came just before daybreak.

“If you do not want to go, then I will go on my own.”

“Really afraid of you, wait for me, I will go wash myself.” Lei Yin slowly stood up and walked to the bathroom.

Knowing that he will certainly accompany her to go out, Kazumi showed a proud smile behind him.

Walking beside his little sister under the bright suns.h.i.+ne, the brother felt that the street was exceptionally dazzling, while Kazumi’s mood suddenly became much better.

“Only now I find that being alive is really a good thing. At least the Sun feels so good.”

“You are still young, do not say like you just out of prison.” Lei Yin yawned and said.

“Hey, I rarely express my feelings, do not spoil the fun for me okay.” Kazumi discontentedly said.

Lei Yin did not speak, just looking at the girls walking in the vicinity. Then he turned his head to look at her from head to toe, and after a while said: “Kazumi, I think you should dress up.”

“Why?”

“You are a college student now, and also a girl. Although I am not a fas.h.i.+onable person, I think you should put on some clothes close to your age, at least you should change your eyegla.s.ses.”

“I do not think that is necessary.” Kazumi flatly refused.

“Your protest is invalid.” Lei Yin knew he would say no, therefore, he took her by hand and walked to the front of a department store.

“Brother, I do not want to go.” Kazumi struggled to break free as she whispered.

“Kazumi, I do not think you should continue to close yourself. Listen to me this time, go make some change for yourself, okay?” Lei Yin knew that the things their beast father Hirota Shori did to her had caused a very serious psychological trauma, so that other than her own brother, she was unable to get along with other men. Since high school, he has been trying to get her to become like an ordinary girl. Unfortunately, it was to no avail.

Watching her brother’s full of concern eyes, Kazumi did not want to disappoint him, finally nodded her head.

Seeing that she had agreed to his request, Lei Yin very happily patted her on the head.

As the first step of the makeover, Lei Yin first took her to the store who sold eyegla.s.ses to help her choose a pair of thin frame gla.s.ses.

Actually, he wanted her to wear contact lenses, but because she thought she was not used to it, so they postponed it for another time.

Because the lens grinding took some time, he took advantaged of this period of time to take her to the Mall outside to find a hair salon for a haircut.

Looking at the young hairdresser with earrings and dyed golden hair, Lei Yin rudely said to the store manager: “I want to change the hairstylist, help me find a normal one.”

“What did you say?” The young hairstylist furiously said.

Lei Yin ignored him and continued to say to the store manager: “I do not want to give my sister to someone who likes to do a human experiment like him. If you want to do business with me, go find me another hairstylist.”

The manager had no choice but to pull the furious young hairstylist and then found one who looked like a refined man.

“This is the best hairstylist in the shop.”

Lei Yin looked at him for a moment and then said: “Do not make her follow the current trend, I only ask you to help cut a suitable hairstyle for my sister.”

“No problem. My craftsmans.h.i.+p and your vision are equally well.” That man laughed.

When everything was ready, Lei Yin selected a white silk dress for her to wear in the dressing room.

“Go put on this and let me see it.”

“Do I really have to wear this?” Kazumi paused and then said.

“You do not like this one?”

“No. Alright, I will go wear it.” Kazumi took the dress, turned around, and walked into the dressing room.

Five minutes later, Kazumi came out of the dressing room with head lowered.

Looking at her sister from head to toe, Lei Yin once again could not help but lament that the potential of a woman was really amazing.

“Brother, does it look weird?” Kazumi blus.h.i.+ngly whispered.

Lei Yin did not speak, just walked over to pull her black-rimmed gla.s.ses, and then helped her put on the new thin-framed gla.s.ses, and then smoothly combed her freshly cut hair.

After taking her to the dressing mirror, Lei Yin said with a smile: “I now discovered that I actually have a very beautiful sister. Take a good look at the real you.”

Kazumi slowly raised her head.

“From the ugly duckling turn into a swan, what are your feeling?” Lei Yin smiled from behind her.

Kazumi did not answer, just stared at the girl in the mirror.
