Chapter 27 Chapter 7 Yelan Disappears

"Brother Feng, I will fly to Hokkaido as soon as possible, within a week, no more than ten days at most. Actually, I can tell which is more important, but I think the discovery in Kui Nuokeng will be the same as Hokkaido's." It is related to the matter of the two - this is a very wonderful discovery, and you will probably understand after looking at the picture..." It wasn't until the end of the call that I seized the opportunity and asked in a pretendingly flat tone: "Are you okay? Take care of yourself!" It is really an extremely cruel torture to receive the voice of Su Lun and Guan Baoling's singing in his ears at the same time.

Su Lun was silent for more than ten seconds, then smiled a few times as if nothing had happened, and replied softly: "I'm fine, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself when you're not around." I haven't forgotten that she is the closed disciple of Master Guannan Goro, a first-class master in the world. Her marksmanship, martial arts, and wisdom are all inferior to mine. Of course, she can take care of herself. After finishing the call with Su Lun, Xiao Keleng said another thing that seemed "insignificant": "Mr. Feng, a major international event just happened - the special envoy of North Korea to the United Nations held a press conference yesterday. Yes, it stated bluntly that the country already has the capability to manufacture nuclear weapons, and declared that it would start conducting 'nuclear explosion' tests in early 2006. This move caused great shock to countries in East and Northeast Asia."

I smiled: "The international situation is changing rapidly. Does North Korea, a small country like this, want to jump out and make trouble?" North Korea is one of the most impoverished and backward countries in Asia. Such a small country can carry out a "nuclear explosion" test by itself. Perhaps in a few years, any small sesame-sized country in South Asia will be able to have its own nuclear weapons.At that time, the earth will definitely become a bomb that can be detonated at any time, which is extremely dangerous. "What I want to say is not an issue of international public opinion, but—"Red Flame" has dispatched a team of ten people and entered the Japanese archipelago. According to the informant of the Gunslinger Club, this team has adopted the method of "reorganizing into a whole" Zero, regrouping' combat procedures, the target is directed at the Maple Temple in Hokkaido."

While talking, Xiao Kelen subconsciously stroked his short hair, frowning tightly, showing a look of exhaustion and hard thinking. "Red Flame" is the name of North Korea's special forces. Their speed and method of action come and go like fireworks blooming in the night sky. They often return with success before the enemy can figure out their real movements.This elite unit is completely trained under the guidance of special instructors of the US Navy SEALs, and is especially good at near-water combat. I tried my best to keep my drowsy head awake, stood up vigorously, and thought of going downstairs to wash my face.

The "nuclear explosion" and the eastward advance of the North Korean special forces, on the surface, seem to be irrelevant, and I am not keen on national politics. It is a high-level toy for politicians to piece together and fight, and has nothing to do with me. . "Mr. Feng, I don't care about politics either. I just want to remind you that there are not only three or two families in the world who care about the whereabouts of 'Wrath of the Sun God'. It is conservatively estimated that at least ten or more forces are preparing to intervene in this matter. And dispatched the absolute elite of the national army to station in Hokkaido. Although we don't want to cause trouble, others don't think so. As long as we stand in their way, we will be unceremoniously cleared-I mean, to put it bluntly Do you understand already?"

Of course I understand, it just doesn't feel like things are that bad.Furthermore, this is the territory of the Japanese. If a small-scale world war breaks out, the Japanese police will naturally come out to suppress it. Why should we worry about it? Regarding Xiao Keleng's plan for a rainy day, it is inconvenient for me to express any opinion, so I slowly descended the stairs, stretching while walking.This exhaustion is not good, I hope to take a nap before lunch to replenish my energy. Guan Baoling and Wang Jiangnan came into my sight naturally like two butterflies.She stood on the steps, with her hands folded in her sleeves, tall and graceful, with a graceful posture.I remember that she once called her driver to pick her up, but until now, the driver has not come, and she has a tendency to continue to live in Xunfu Garden.

After washing my hands in a hurry, I came out, and a car horn sounded outside the door, and then two young men with fiery red roses in their arms walked into the gate of the manor. Xiao Keleng stood in front of the stairs, frowned and sighed: "Oh my God! Brother Thirteen is completely... completely stuck..." There is no doubt that these flowers were sent by Wang Jiangnan to please Guan Baoling.There are only two things that young girls love most, roses and diamonds. I believe that these two things are not a problem for Wang Jiangnan. So many flowers should be in line with the meaning of "three lives are lucky" in the three hundred and thirty-three branches, and they filled the entire living room within a few minutes.Wang Jiangnan is good at choosing places, he almost regards Xunfuyuan as his show.

The living room is filled with the sweet fragrance of roses and morning dew, which is almost intoxicating.I bet all the girls in the world have the same expression when they receive flowers from a man.Guan Baoling stood up slowly, with an extremely sweet and bright smile on her face instantly. When her long eyelashes fluttered movingly, I couldn't help but punch Wang Jiangnan's teeth out. "Am I also a little bit unable to extricate myself?" I lowered my head and walked upstairs, and my eyes accidentally met Xiao Keleng. "Mr. Feng, look, with the embellishment of roses, the villa suddenly becomes lively, right?" There was a teasing smile on the corner of her lips, and her hands were in her trouser pockets.

"Yes, full of vitality, but I hope that some people don't feel sad!" I just said it casually, not out of feeling, but Xiao Kelen's hands clenched the pistol in his trouser pocket instantly. , and his whole body tensed up quickly, like a civet hunting in the dark. Crisis is everywhere, and her nerves are also highly tense, especially after telling me about the actions of the "Red Flame" troops, she has been worried all the time. "Xiao Xiao, don't be nervous, I believe that Su Lun will fly to Hokkaido to join us soon—" I believe in Su Lun ten times more than I believe in Xiao Keleng, but this meaningless sentence obviously hurt her : "Oh? Mr. Feng doesn't trust my ability to deal with things? No wonder, Sister Su Lun is a disciple of Master Guannan Goro. Once I enter the rivers and lakes, people from all directions have to give some face, but I am just an unknown person. You can only be someone else's pawn and stepping stone..."

She brushed past me and walked towards the gate, raising her head unconsciously, looking very hurt. I stomped my feet with a wry smile, confused by Guan Baoling's fluttering long eyelashes, and spoke without thinking. "Mr. Wang, although roses are good, how can they compare with the most famous cherry blossoms in Japan? I hope that next year when the cherry blossoms in Hokkaido are in full bloom, we will have the opportunity to enjoy the flowers and taste wine together..." Guan Baoling said in a stern voice. , bent down in front of a bush of roses, took a deep breath, and then let out a long sigh of contentment.

I continued to go upstairs, I just wanted to cover my ears and eyes to keep those leftovers and images out of my body. The laptop is still on, and Su Lun's picture has not yet arrived. The aroma of roses infiltrated to the second floor invisible, as if no matter where you hide, you can't escape Wang Jiangnan's love for Guan Baoling.I got up and went into the study room, and slammed the door. With a "bang", the world became quiet, and my respiratory system finally got a temporary relief. There is a faint old smell of books in this room, which calms down my mood quickly. "What is Big Brother looking for? Did he finally find it?" I couldn't help looking up at the two intersecting beams as I wandered along the aisle between the bookshelves.The beam won't tell me anything, but I'm sure that since a compass was once hung there, there must be some slight trace left, even if it's just a nail hole, a puncture... I bent my knees and flicked, and my hands slightly relayed on the shelf of the side bookshelf. I had jumped more than two meters high, and my body was lightly attached to the top of the bookshelf directly below the beam, and my hair almost touched the roof. The wood of the beam is dense and ancient, and the whole tree is made from a fir tree that is more than a hundred years old. If there is no dense coverage of this layer of paint film, it will definitely emit a refreshing log fragrance. I stretched out my fingernails and pinched lightly on the paint film, and judged that the paint had been painted for about a year, and it no longer had the smell and appearance of new paint.After carefully observing the various planes and elevations at the intersection of the beams, I was still disappointed.Because the craftsmen seem to have thinly planed the beams before painting them, which is the most common way of renewing old beams, so that any earlier traces have been lost. "A compass of that size is very rare—it's a pity that the scalpel passed away too early and too hastily...no words left..." I landed resentfully, and after thinking about it, I searched the study several times with a scalpel and found nothing, not to mention that I have only been here for a few days? Time passed by every minute, and it was getting closer and closer to lunch time.I hope that when I walk out of the study, I will see Wang Jiangnan smugly bringing Yelan up to see me.At this time, my mood was extremely contradictory. I hoped to see Yelan and know how to save Fujika—and I didn’t want Wang Jiangnan to succeed and show his heroic charm in front of Guan Baoling. My fingers slowly slid across the bookshelf, trying to find a book to pass this difficult time, anyway, I can't fall asleep at ease in the morning. My heart skipped a beat when my finger fell on the spine of a Russian edition of one of the few Russian books I've ever read—the 1969 edition of Centuries". Since I got my eldest brother’s diary, I have read all the translations of "The Century" published in the world, especially the two sections "The King of Terror in 1999" and "The Big Seven", which can be used in any language Fluent recitation.There are two versions of the Russian version of "The Century", namely the two editions before the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the two editions after the disintegration, all of which were compiled, printed and distributed by the Russian State Publishing Organization. What I hold in my hand now is the old edition of "Zhu Century". Of course, I believe that the content of the two editions must be the same. From those two passages, it can be seen that the book "The Centuries" has undergone complex and in-depth research. If you want to find him, you must first think about the problem according to the way he was thinking before he disappeared. You must know what he is thinking and what he is going to do ..." Excitedly, I stretched out my foot and kicked hard on the bookshelf: "Finally... I found the main thread to solve the problem in the vast sea of ​​books... The key to cleaning up the study is to find out all the materials related to "Zhu Century"... " I quickly browsed through the bookshelves, and found about 25 different translations of "The Centuries", and more than 220 copies of "The Centuries" written by scientists, theologians, spiritualists and even famous psychics around the world. Read the collection.Next, Xiao Keran should be asked to find some reliable people, take all these books off the shelves, move them to the living room outside, search line by line, and see what he finds. Of course, this "reliable person" does not include Wang Jiangnan's people. I don't want him to find something by chance and show off to Guan Baoling further. I stopped and sighed deeply: "Could it be possible that I too have been overwhelmed by Guan Baoling's beautiful magic? Why do I think of her in every move?" Just like "a good doctor can't control himself", although I am conceited to be a master at interpreting thoughts, at this moment But he couldn't analyze whether his feelings for Guan Baoling were "love" or "hate". When the watch pointed to eleven o'clock in the morning, I left the study room, but there was neither a picture of Su Lun nor the good news of Wang Jiangnan's meritorious service.Downstairs was quiet, and the air was still filled with the scent of roses. After going down the stairs, I realized that everyone was outside the door. Holding a phone in each hand, Wang Jiangnan paced back and forth angrily, making loud noises like "thump, thud, thump", and had long since lost his elegant and calm demeanor.Maybe he wasn't a hero in the first place, and everything was just pretending in front of Guan Baoling—seeing him like this, I felt a sense of relief. Five meters away from him, the "Fire Elephant Sanying" stood side by side with frowning faces, no more hippie smiles on their faces. "How could this be? How could this be..." Wang Jiangnan was roaring, holding his hands high, like a gorilla who couldn't get bananas and drank violently. Xiao Keleng was originally sitting in the water pavilion with Guan Baoling, but now he quickly walked back to the living room with a serious expression: "Mr. Feng, the people sent to meet Yelan suddenly disappeared—" She looked at her watch, and then reported the exact number: "They were missing for 20 minutes. It was reported that they had been successfully picked up from the airport to Yelan, and then went north along the highway. It is expected to be around 11:30 Returning to the villa, the result changed. Thirteenth brother has sent people out to look for it again, but... but there is little hope, because the four masters' personal phones and car satellite phones can't be connected. Unless they died at the same time, Otherwise at least..." Her hands were back in her pockets, holding on to the butt of the gun for a moment. No one likes unexpected events, but accidents cannot be avoided in life. I patted her on the shoulder and signaled her to relax as much as possible: "Don't be nervous, Xiao Xiao, it's just an accident. Mr. Wang will take care of it." I admit that I am a little gloating, but more of it is annoyance: "Yelan is so important, why bother with the Gunslinger Club? If I go to Tokyo to redeem Yelan, everything will be fine? I even talked to him on the spot and got The secret to resuscitating Fujika..." It's too late to say anything now, and it's me who should be really frustrated and angry, not the outsider Wang Jiangnan. The phone rang, and Wang Jiangnan put the two phones close to his ears at the same time. After hearing a few words, he suddenly shouted: "What? No news, no car accident, no disappearance record—nothing? Then where did they go? Tell me where they are, where..." His mood was extremely bad, and he waved his hand suddenly, and the two phones fell on the steps at the same time, making a loud bang, and shattered into countless tiny plastic parts. Xiao Ke frowned coldly, and smiled uneasily: "Brother Thirteen is like this, look at his hands..." Without her prompting, I also saw Wang Jiangnan's hand.He took off his white suit and gloves, and slammed them on the steps—his left hand shone coldly in the sun, and it turned out to be a stainless steel prosthetic hand.Manufactured with absolute perfection and flexibility, the prosthetic hand was attached to his left wrist, and when the glove was on, it was impossible to see the truth from the outside. For a moment, I was both stunned and funny, the expression on my face must have been extremely weird, making Xiao Keleng sigh seven or eight times in succession: "Brother Thirteen has a violent temper, is fierce and aggressive, and that hand is fighting with the Yamaguchi-gumi!" Lost in the land grab." I tried my best to breathe out, and swallowed the strange smile that was about to come out in my throat. It is extremely inhumane to laugh at a disabled person, but I doubt that even if Wang Jiangnan bought all the roses in the entire Dutch market for ten years , and may not be able to win the hearts of beauties. The depression of the past two days suddenly disappeared, and I felt that the sunlight outside the door suddenly became brighter and brighter, but when I thought of Yelan's disappearance, I still felt a heavy weight in my heart: "How could this happen? Could it be that Yelan The phone call from Lan was monitored..." I am half-believing in the "big secret" he said, let alone other quack masters who don't know it.At least in my value judgment, it is impossible to believe that an unknown junior from Egypt will have a "big secret" worth 20 million. Those who have not experienced the accident in the Egyptian desert do not know how important the awakening of Tengjia is.Although Wang Jiangnan felt ashamed, he didn't have any other losses, and the regret in my heart at this moment can't be described in words at all—— After such a thing, my trust in the sharpshooter's ability to handle affairs has almost dropped to zero. "Mr. Feng, don't worry, I believe Brother Thirteen will give an explanation." Xiao Keleng is an outsider, so he can always deal with it calmly. The sun was shining outside, shining on Wang Jiangnan who was in a state of desperation, which made my heart constantly intertwined with pleasure and depression.The highway from Sapporo to Xunfuyuan is so long and there are so many intersections, it is not a simple matter to really find out the reason for Yelan's disappearance, otherwise Wang Jiangnan would not be so angry. I withdrew to go upstairs, and shook my head helplessly at Xiao Ke: "Xiao Xiao, the people from the Gunslinger Club are not omnipotent, right? I will contact Su Lun again to see if she can send some capable ones." Experts come here—" There are nearly a hundred masters in the old department of the scalpel, distributed in various countries around the world. I believe that as long as Su Lun gives an order, this group of people will definitely come. Xiao Ke coldly frowned and smiled bitterly: "It's just an accident!" She really wanted to explain something, but the walkie-talkie at Huo Xiang Sanying's waist suddenly rang: "Attention, attention, a silver sports car appeared, heading straight for Xunfuyuan Villa..." This was a warning issued by the observation post arranged by Wang Jiangnan at the highest point of the villa. They used 80 times military binoculars to monitor the situation outside the door non-stop for a minute. Then, everyone heard the unscrupulous roar of the sports car generator and exhaust pipe, and a brand new Toyota two-seater sports car suddenly appeared at the end of the road outside the gate, with a speed of at least 200 kilometers per hour.He rushed into the gate of the villa in about fifteen seconds, without any sign of slowing down, and went straight to the steps here. The hands of the Gunslingers rushed out from every corner, and the foothold was not stable. The car had already braked sharply with a "creak" sound, and the front wheels drew a smart right-turn arc, and it had already stopped, 15 minutes away from the steps. Step around. I'm standing on the third rung of the stairs, and I can just look down on the sports car. This is Toyota's latest model in 2005. It has a silver body with silver electroplated pipe fittings, and a professional racing engine is installed inside. The power is so powerful that all ordinary cars can't match it.Just looking at the four majestic electroplated exhaust pipes exposed at the rear of the car, you can imagine the crazy and refreshing driving of this car when you step on the accelerator to the bottom. "Crack", the car door popped open, but no one appeared, and a powerful murderous aura rushed directly to his face.I was in the living room, and the straight-line distance from the car was at least twenty-five meters away, but when the murderous aura struck, I immediately felt the knife cut my face, and my whole body was chilled. "It's so murderous——" I muttered to myself, and I couldn't help but clung to the stairs beside me.There are people from the Sharpshooter Society outside, at least they can resist it for a while. Xiao Ke was at a loss for a while: "What murderous intent? What?" Some things can only be perceived by extremely sensitive people, for example, I can even smell the faint smell of blood from the wind. A snow-white foot with red toenails is slowly sticking out of the carriage on clogs. The foot is small, with delicate flesh and bones. It is a standard girl's foot. In such a cold day, even a pair of common white cotton socks None.Then, there was a corner of the snow-white robe. The body of the driver swayed in the wind, and he was fully displayed in everyone's sight. He held a fiery red box with his hands flat, with a black ribbon tied on it with a delicate bow. Wang Jiangnan's prosthetic hand suddenly "clicked", which was the sound of a bullet being loaded. I can imagine that making such an exquisite prosthetic hand is definitely not just for the sake of aesthetics, it should be a miniature submachine gun with a weird shape. The four young men who came out of the grass rushed forward suddenly. They could best understand Wang Jiangnan's action signal, but they died the fastest.With a flash of the knife, four fountains of blood splashed from the necks of the four people at the same time, instantly staining the withered grass beside the avenue red with blood, and their bodies flew upside down. They didn't even have time to scream. There were five long knives hanging from this man's belt, all of which had black scabbards and fiery red hilts.The knife was very long, almost hanging down to her ankle in the snow-white kimono, and the action of killing someone with the knife just now was so fast that it was "slow as lightning". Wang Jiangnan was not even mentally prepared to wave his hand and shoot. On the pure white kimono, countless fiery red cherry blossom patterns are stacked and dyed in a disorderly manner. The sparse parts are like blood flowers, and the dense parts are like balls of watery blood.Her hair was long, jet-black, and hung down to her chest. She took a step forward, lifted the box in her hand higher, and looked up at Wang Jiangnan.
