Chapter 21 Chapter 21

After returning to Santa Teresa's apartment in Hiroo, Dad rarely spoke. "Fortunately, he has no family." Dad looked bitter. "Liangjie, the Ministry of Security of China owes you a favor. We didn't find any traitors inside." Fei burst into tears. Before dawn, Mr. Shimadzu appeared with a tired face. "Has Roppongi been cleaned up?" "Yes, let's treat it as a gangster fight. Saeki, is the owner of the restaurant an old friend of yours?" "Well, after the judicial autopsy is over, let me know, and I will help him with the funeral."

Shimadzu-san nodded. "Fei Lei." Dad urged, Fei Lei took out Meiben's laptop from the purse. "I'll get someone to analyze it." Mr. Shimadzu took over. "Evidence of money laundering in collusion between Popov and Meben and the Russian Mafia should be found," Dad said. "What about Miura?" I asked. "Miura?" Shimadzu-san looked at me. "I found an address in the laptop. There are yacht marinas and vacation apartments there. It may be the current hiding place of Meiben and the others." "I will send someone to investigate."

"Wait a minute," Dad called to Mr. Shimadzu. "Have you found out about Nico's whereabouts?" Mr. Shimadzu shook his head. "Although the guys arrested in Platinum have been interrogated, they are very tight-lipped and still don't know where the B stronghold is." "If you go to Miura to catch Meiben and Popov, but let Nico take Morris away, the situation will only get worse. It's better to let Popov and the others move freely, and it will be easier to find Morris." After listening to his father's words, Mr. Shimadzu fell into deep thought.

"Think about it, the most dangerous situation is that the nuclear bomb falls into the hands of Nico. Popov and Meiben get the nuclear bomb, and at most they sell it for money." Dad finished speaking and looked at Feilei. "What about the Chinese government? If a nuclear bomb is discovered, will the Japanese government be required to return it?" Emerald shook her head. "How is it possible? The Chinese government will deny all relations in public. Once the nuclear bomb is found, first destroy the detonation function, and then hand it over to the Japanese government. This is the order I received."

"Additional manpower has been deployed near the airport. In addition to paying more attention to passengers holding passports in the name of 'Rodnov', at the same time, we will strictly check foreigners who have similar appearance and characteristics. In order to prevent Nicole from kidnapping Morris, the Thunderbolt team is also on standby. "Mr. Shimadzu explained. "Niko knew that the police had controlled their old stronghold, so he probably wouldn't show up at the airport blatantly. There was no communication on the plane, and Morris probably didn't know that his daughter had escaped from Nico's clutches long ago. So, after Morris entered the country, where would he go?" The first party to contact him will affect his next move." Dad analyzed.

"The situation is more favorable to Popov and the others. After Morris enters the country, he should contact Meben and Popov immediately." Listening to my speculation, Dad shook his head. "That's not necessarily the case. At present, only Nico knows which flight Morris will take and when he will arrive in Japan. If Nico prohibits Morris from contacting the 'helpers' in Japan, it will cut off Morris' external channels." "Is this going to happen?" "It's hard to say if the life of my daughter is at stake." "However, as Aron mentioned, if Morris loses his memory and doesn't remember where the nuclear bomb is hidden, it would be too dangerous to just follow Nico's instructions. Even if Nico prohibits him, he will try to contact Popov and the others Right?" Fei Lei said.

"In short, if the police cannot stop Morris at the airport, but detain Popov and others, the line with Morris will be severed." Dad looked at Mr. Shimadzu. "At present, we should put a long line, catch big fish, and let Popov move freely. Besides, apart from Umemoto Kenichi, the police have no reason to arrest anyone else." Shimadzu-san sighed. "Okay, then just keep an eye on them and leave Miura alone. But what if Popov and Morris contact privately?" Dad looked at me. "At this time, we will play instead. Aaron is the hero who helped Monica escape. Even if he trespasses on Miura, the other party will not be able to kill him."

"Send Aaron again?" Mr. Shimadzu was quite surprised. "What if Morris has already remembered the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb? There is no way to confirm it unless someone is sent there." "What does this have to do with Aaron?" "Aaron was the savior of Morris's daughter. It is said that Morris loves his daughter very much. We might as well take advantage of that." "Uh, regarding this point, I haven't confirmed what the person concerned..." I interrupted. "Don't you want to?" Dad looked at me. "It's not that they don't want to, but most fathers don't seem to like their daughter's boyfriend?"

"I don't have a daughter, so I don't know." Wow haha. "My father once invited my boyfriend home for dinner and tried to poison him. Fortunately, my mother found out and stopped it in time." Hearing Feilei's words, everyone was startled. "Who is your father..." "No, just ordinary civil servants." Fei Lei shrugged. "Are you willing or not?" Dad stared at me. "Got it." I replied, "Everything started because of me, and I will be responsible to the end." "Okay, then Feilei and I will support you nearby."

"Aren't you going with me?" "If Popov has assembled his forces, it is better to split up. Otherwise, we will all be suppressed and there will be no drama." Feilei's eyes widened, "Are you really the biological father and son?" "Better not to ask that question," I replied. At noon the next day, I rode my motorcycle to Miura under the clear sky.Dad and Feilei drove behind me.The police found Feilei's BMW parked by the roadside in Roppongi, and found the car keys on Zhang's body, so Mr. Shimadzu simply returned it to her. The resort recorded on the laptop is exactly between Youhu and Zhuji, and it has a very long name called "Miura Vacation Yacht Club".

I rode the Yokohama-Yokosuka road in Kinugasa, went straight to the intersection of the forest, and then headed south.I used to drive girls to this area. The gate of the club is very grand, and between the two ten-story vacation apartments is a yacht dock built by the sea. I rode through the open gate and parked in front of the pier.There are two dikes facing the sea, and yachts and speedboats are parked on both sides. The southern European-style open-air cafe fully exudes the elegant atmosphere of rich people's vacation, but the guys sitting outside spoil the atmosphere.Four men in black double-breasted suits held their mobile phones and looked around fiercely. One of them has been watching me since just now.Although high school students on motorcycles don't fit in well with yacht marinas, aren't they just as different? I ignored the eyes of those underworld brothers, took off my helmet, and walked towards the cafe.The eyes staring at me changed from two to eight, and the gazes that shot out became more and more sharp. I purposely sat down at the next table to The Sopranos.There is no one else in the seats outside except them, it's the same wherever you sit. After ordering a soda from the waiter, I picked up a cigarette, patted my pocket, and asked brother number one who was staring at me: "Uh, do you have a fire?" Brother Number One was clearly surprised. "Ok." With that said, he handed me the Dupont lighter.Lighting a fire by the sea is a lot of work. "thanks." After lighting the fire, I exhaled a big mouthful of smoke. "Where are you from?" Brother number one asked me. "Tokyo." "Did you come on that one?" "Yes, I skipped classes. The beach is really great." "Are there any acquaintances here?" Number Two, who was drinking an ice cream soda next to Number One, made a noise. "Yes, there is a very cute girl, who is of Russian and French mixed race, named Monica." With a click, the four stood up abruptly.The waiter who brought the soda froze in shock. "Who are you?" No. 1 growled. "A mere working detective." "what?" I took the soda and took a sip.I wanted to drink honeydew melon flavor, but it was cherry flavor. Four people surrounded me. "Little devil, if you dare to play tricks, I will let you come in straight and go out lying down." No. 3, who hadn't said a word just now, spoke in a deep, threatening voice, with a very hoarse voice. "Please tell Mr. Meiben and Mr. Popov that Aaron is here." After finishing speaking, I looked around.The BMW that could still see Feilei just now has disappeared without a trace.Did they leave me alone?However, no matter how lecherous my father is, he probably won't do anything to Feilei. I guess. "Say your name again." Number Two picked up his phone and ordered me. "Aron, Sagi Takashi." Two turned around and spoke on the phone. Soon, Kenichi and Monica walked out from the vacation apartment inside.Kenichi wore pocket work pants and a tank top, while Monica wore shorts and a T-shirt. "Aaron!" As soon as she saw me, Monica came galloping from the pier, her ponytail twitching behind her head. I got up immediately and Monica put her arms around my neck. "Aaron, I miss you so much." She kisses my lips. Kenichi wearing sunglasses stood not far away with his face crossed and his arms folded. The underworld brothers were dumbfounded, and then sat down and continued to work. "How did you find it here?" After Monica let go of me, Kenichi approached and asked. "It's just a coincidence. I rode my motorcycle out to relax, only to find Monica looking lonely at the sea." I point to the apartment and Monica's eyes widen. "No way." "Don't play tricks. You know this, so the representative also knows it." "I don't know, my dad is in the hospital." "Hey, why did Ryosuke get hospitalized?" Monica asked. "Did you know there was a shootout at 'Max' yesterday?" "Of course. Tiaozi is also looking for us for this matter." "Yakuto Jiro was shot and died, and my father was also affected by the stray bullet. Fortunately, it was only scratched." Maybe some acquaintances of Kenichi saw his father covered in Jiro's blood. "Who killed Jiro?" "A Chinese, he was killed elsewhere in Roppongi." I'm not lying. "What are you doing here?" "Of course it's my father's place to talk to you about the profitable business." Kenichi gave a look of disbelief.I looked at Monica and asked: "Have you seen Dad?" "Not yet, I can't contact him." Monica shook her head sadly. "Monica, you don't need to tell him this kind of thing." Kenichi interjected, and Monica asked excitedly: "Why? Aaron saved me, and he was the one who told me that my father is my real father." Kenichi frowned and stared at me, "Will you come with us?" "Of course, that's why I'm here." "I'm so happy to be with you again." Monica was overjoyed. "I'm so worried about your sudden disappearance." I took Monica's hand. "I'm sorry, Mr. Popov said it would be better for Dad." "Follow me." Kenichi walked ahead. I was taken to the top floor, the tenth floor, which was furnished to the utmost luxury. Popov, Umemoto, Muratsuki, and a white-haired, expressionless white man were present. "Aron, what happened to Mr. Saeki?" Popov stepped forward to greet me. "He's hospitalized." "Hospitalized?" "He was involved in the shootout in our shop yesterday." Kenichi replied. "Is the injury serious?" Meiben asked with concern. "No, just a little flesh wound." "Yakuto Jiro was killed by the Chinese." Hearing Kenichi's report, Umemoto shook his head. "It doesn't matter if that kind of scum is dead. Why did you go to my shop?" he asked. "Who taught you that you are all invisible. Dad was worried about the progress of the business when he was hospitalized, so he sent me over." Popov looked at me intently. "How do you know about this place?" "Found it on the computer. During the shootout, I took advantage of the chaos to peek at the computer in the office." Meiben's expression changed suddenly, "The door to the office is locked." "The door was open." "impossible……" "enough." Popov stopped us.He pointed to the silver-haired white man sitting beside him and said: "He's my business friend Alexei. I'm asking him for help in this case." "Please take care of me." I saluted, but Alexei ignored me.I don't know whether it's because he doesn't understand Japanese, he hates Japanese people, or he just doesn't like me. In short, he looked at me coldly without blinking his eyes. "We are trying to contact Rodnov, no, it should be Morris. I didn't expect you to find out Rodnov's true identity." Popov said, and I shrugged. "I was told by a traitor to a Chinese state civil servant." "Zhang?" Popov's eyes widened. "You know him?" "Of course. When Zhang was in Paris, he did a lot of business for Morris, because Interpol had information on the arms market. Is he in Japan?" "He lurks among the remnants of the 'August Lion' and came to Japan earlier..." After I answered, I suddenly realized.When Feilei was going to "Max" before, Zhang didn't go with him. It turned out that he didn't want to meet Popov and Meiben. "So, the Chinese who made trouble in our store yesterday..." Kenichi said. "It was Zhang. He shot Miss Feilei." "Where's Feilei?" Umeben asked me. "I don't know, she must be very busy. After all, it caused such a big disturbance in Japan." Mei Ben looked suspiciously. "Nico bought Zhang, and then he found out that Rodnov is Monica's biological father. And I realized that Morris might still be alive, so Zhang kidnapped me and took me to Nico." "Is he going to kill you?" Popov asked. I nod.Popov looked at the indifferent white man named Alexei, looked back at me, and said: "Aaron, Monica told us what happened. You were brave, and I thank you on behalf of Morris." "You're welcome." "The problem lies with Morris and the escaped Nico. I heard from Monica that Nico planned to detonate a nuclear bomb in Tokyo. Is this true?" "Yes. But didn't Monica's father lose his memory? Or did Mr. Morris remember everything?" Popov and Meben exchanged glances.Popov sighed: "We don't know either. Morris's memory is gradually recovering. As long as he remembers where the nuclear bomb was placed, we plan to retrieve it." "After getting it back, of course it will be sold, right?" I asked, but no one answered.Umemoto winked at Kenichi. "Monica, do you want to go out for a walk?" Kenichi invited her. "No. You are talking about Dad, I don't want to leave alone." Monica shook her head. "Monica, these are business matters. I've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in reviving your father's memory," Popov explained. "Are you going to recoup the investment by selling murder weapons?" Monica looked like she was about to cry. "Monica, we didn't make that. The nuclear bomb is indeed a tool for killing, but just buying and selling is no different from painting or sculpture." Umeben chimed in, what bullshit.Monica looked at me tearfully. "Aaron, do you and Ryosuke also want to make money from Dad's nuclear bomb?" This question is too difficult to answer, but it is impossible for me to tell her the truth. "Of course, this guy and his father joined him halfway, just to get a share of the action, otherwise he's just a catcher." Kenichi deliberately embarrassed me. Monica stood up abruptly, "I'm going to see the sea." After speaking, she walked to the door.Popov looked at the white man beside him and motioned: "Alexis..." "Da—" Alexey stood up after replying, and followed Monica away. "Alexis was at Spetsnaz before, did you hear that?" Popov asked me. "Well, it's the Russian special forces." "Yes. Besides, he's an expert on nuclear bombs, so I signed him up as a consultant." "When did Morris arrive in Japan?" "Tonight. Although he can't be contacted at present, he will definitely find us when we arrive in Japan." "What if Nico forbids him to contact you? Maybe Morris thinks Monica is still in Nico's hands." I said. No one answered.After a while, Meiben said: "Will the police monitor it at the airport?" "Of course, they have to stop Nico from taking Morris," I replied. "So, if we go to the airport, the police will not let us go." "The police are after Nicole and Morris, not you." At least for now, I said to everyone present. "I don't believe this guy, maybe you will betray me to the police." Kenichi gritted his teeth. "Even if he doesn't betray you, the police have good reasons to arrest you. You did it on your own, who taught you to do some bad business before." Mei Ben poured cold water on it, then looked at me. "After getting Morris' nuke, our brotherhood will leave Japan." "How to prevent Nicole from taking Morris away?" "That's what's up for discussion. Since we can't make a move, someone else will have to fetch Morris." "Those brothers downstairs?" "I was going to look for them, but the police are at the airport and they will be locked up too." "Then who are you going to send?" Popov and Meben exchanged glances. "You, Aaron." "what?" "How can this work?" Kenichi objected. "He might have been sent by the cop. Asking him to fetch Maurice is tantamount to handing Morris over to the cop." "This is a great opportunity to prove that he is not an undercover agent. Besides, he is not the only one. Alexis will also go with him." Popov looked at Kenichi. Oh my God. "Well, does Mr. Alexei speak Japanese?" "He can speak a little English." "Nico and his men saw me at the airport, wouldn't it be a waste of work?" "Alexis will take care of it." Are these people missing the point? "Niko knows what time Morris will take the flight to Tokyo, if he is the first to ambush..." "I understand your concern. However, Morris is an expert and will not be easily arrested. He will definitely contact us." Popov was full of confidence. "It's just me and Alexei, and Maurice probably doesn't know we're going to pick him up..." "Monica will be there too." "what?" I was startled again, but then I realized what Popov was up to. Popov and Morris didn't completely trust each other.Popov suspected that Morris remembered the location of the nuclear bomb, but deliberately claimed that he "can't remember it." This can explain why Monica has always been sheltered by Meiben and Popov in Japan. In other words, Monica is a "hostage" to avoid Morris monopolizing the bomb. Therefore, Morris may have been pretending not to remember the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb, and Popov and the others have always been suspicious of him. They deceive each other and play psychological warfare. The discovery of the body at the old site of "Port Club 21" brought the drama to an end. Aaron, you are so smart.But for a moment of self-indulgence, I suddenly found that the nuclear bomb was in a situation where it could be taken away at any time, and I couldn't help being taken aback. If Morris really lost his memory, even if he is held hostage by Nico, there is at least half the chance that the nuclear bomb will not be taken away.On the contrary, if his memory has recovered, the nuclear bomb will 100% fall into Nico's hands. This must not be allowed to happen. "Tonight, you go to Narita with Monica and Alexie to bring Morris back. If the police stop you, Alexie will be rude to you. My friend has already gone to the airport to deal with the situation. Nico's attack." Popov told me. "They will get the attention of the police, but they will act separately from you, so it will not affect you." Obviously, the calculation of Popov and others is that Hailun will be used against the "saint" and I will be used against the police.To the police, I am a hostage: To Morris, Monica is a hostage. Breaking into their hiding place, I inevitably became a hostage. I sighed, maybe this is the so-called "moths to the flame"?
