Chapter 80. The storm is coming(1/2)
"Mr. Aguang, you are finally here."
The person who came to greet Zhou Jinru was his poker friend that day. He quickly walked up and held Zhou Jinru's hand, as enthusiastically as an old friend reunited after a long separation.
The place where they met was in a fairly quiet second-floor hotel in Tulip Street. There were bodyguards standing inside and outside, and they had obviously booked the hotel.
Zhou Jinru let go of his hand and walked forward unhurriedly: "I think you should find Wei Na."
"In fact, we tried to contact Miss Vina but she was not interested in any of our proposals."
When Zhou Jinru heard this, he actually laughed: "Haha, then I don't dare to say anything. After all, I cannot disobey the queen."
They walked through a carpeted corridor and came to the door of the innermost room. The person who led the way turned the door handle and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Jinru walked in and immediately saw several poker players who were at the poker table that day. The whole room was filled with smoke and there were some cigarette butts in the ashtray. They had been gathering here for some time.
"Mr. Aguang, are you okay?"
A middle-aged man wearing glasses greeted him. When he looked at Zhou Jinru, he stood up to greet him, and several other people also stood up one after another, apparently led by him.
"This is Edmond Hugo, and Miss Verna was with his wife that day."
Oh, he is the Minister of Housing and Urban Development in San Martin?
Zhou Jinru bowed slightly and returned the greeting. It seemed that the people sitting here today were all the big guys from St. Martin's. The so-called dragon's pond and tiger's den were nothing more than this.
The minister smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Aguang, it's so hard to hide it from us. He also took out a military watch belonging to an Ursus noble. It's such a big smoke bomb. The underground black market in St. Martin is still offering a reward for your identity information."
Woolen cloth."
Zhou Jinru sat in the empty seat, and the waiter quickly brought him a cup of hot tea. Listening to the other party's speech, which seemed to be vomiting bitterness, he knew that the previous goal had indeed been achieved, and the effect was even a little too good, so that he received a
An Originium bomb.
"I've never told a lie."
Zhou Jinru smiled implicitly and took a sip of tea. He was only wearing casual clothes today and seemed out of place with the gentlemen present, but no one here cared about these insignificant things.
Edmond Hugo considered his words: "Saint Martin has even been paying attention to Miss Vina, but he never intended to do anything rude. She was willing to live in seclusion here so that no one would disturb her life. For that day
We are very sorry for the encounter, but a moment of oversight almost led to irreversible consequences."
interesting.
The minister came up to show off his cards directly. They knew Vina's identity and didn't want to provoke her. They even chased away those who wanted to provoke her. They didn't know about the car bomb that day.
At the same time, he was telling Zhou Jinru that they were in the same group and had common interests.
Zhou Jinru did not answer the question: "Vina believes that the police department's work level is very good, and I believe that San Martin's legal system can give us a satisfactory explanation. After all, Colombia is a country that has adopted the legal system."
His subtext is, don’t talk nonsense to me. Doesn’t St. Martin flaunt itself as a dream place of freedom and justice? Then you go to investigate the case and arrest people, what’s the use of apologizing...
Hugo sighed: "Mr. Aguang, the police department's power is now limited, and their prisons are no longer enough. The large number of outsiders who have poured into St. Martin's has had a very serious impact. Schools have been closed, shops have been closed, and factories have been closed."
Production has been suspended, and this mobile city has temporarily come to a standstill, so we can only put the investigation on hold for now."
Zhou Jinru was at a loss for words. He had only arrived a few days ago and something like this happened. St. Martin had been developing very well before. Mayor Thomas even said on the TV that this mobile city was far from reaching its capacity limit. Why did it fall into chaos today?
?
Another gentleman spread his hands and explained: "Saint Martin has always been in a high-load operation state, and it is already very difficult to deal with those outsiders. Just a few days ago, several large gangs wandering in the infected community suddenly
Penetrating to the outskirts of the city, their people are everywhere. Public security incidents occur frequently, and some infected people with ulterior motives also take the opportunity to cause trouble. In some outer city blocks, there are even workers' strikes and demonstrations, demanding improved basic welfare."
Zhou Jinru was even more confused and said helplessly: "These are St. Martin's internal affairs. I am also an outsider. I don't understand your side, so I can't help you with anything."
"Mr. Aguang."
Hugo tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "I did guess that you were a rule from Ursus at first, but later I discovered that your relationship with Miss Vina may not be what we have seen. My
Madam Monica, you have seen her, and she told me that there is no love in the way you look at Vina, but your care for her is real."
Zhou Jinru smiled: "So?"
"I have a very close personal relationship with the head of the Rheinland Life Branch. I have never heard of any men she is interested in before. You have maintained a close relationship with two noble and beautiful ladies in a short period of time. I even suspect that you are...
Not the legendary East Night Demon King who captured the hearts of countless women."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gentlemen's cheerful laughter came from the room, and even Zhou Jinru laughed along with him.
Hugo's tone paused: "Obviously you are not a Cowherd. Finally, I remembered something that happened a long time ago. We had met before. We only met for a minute. Your appearance and posture now are similar to those of that time.
"Compared, the difference is really huge. If I hadn't thought of your company in Tomari, I would still be kept in the dark by you."
"So what are your plans now?"
Hugo shook his head slightly: "Nothing. We just hope that your company can keep silent in the next few days. I know that you mobilized a small team to enter San Martin with great fanfare after the attack, but now we ask you
Remain silent, as long as you do nothing you will be doing us the greatest favor."
Zhou Jinru was silent for two seconds: "I have to go back and ask the Queen for her opinion. Gentlemen, there is a saying in our country of Yan called Hedong Lion's Roar. If I can't rush back before evening, I will personally experience the lion's roar at close range today.
The taste of it.”
"It should."
Hugo waved his hand: "Please send our friend back to where he lives,"
After walking out of the tightly guarded hotel, Zhou Jinru let out a long breath. Although this group of people couldn't figure out his identity at first, they were all human beings. In addition, he didn't deliberately hide it. When Rhodes Island showed off with great fanfare,
After entering the city, what still you don’t understand?
So now there is no reason why that person doesn't know the truth.
However, nothing will change even if they know it. Now that Rhode Island is respected by all parties as a professional medical organization for treating Originium Disease, it does not mean that it will receive corresponding attention.
After ten o'clock tomorrow morning, St. Martin will introduce the prohibition bill, and there will be even greater chaos. He can't understand this wave of operations at all. Why should the bill be forcibly implemented at this time and put St. Martin in ruins?
There is no war outside, no disasters inside, the tide of opposition gets louder and louder, the time is right, the place is right, and the people are everywhere.
"Lin Xiaoxi is crazy, dragging Thomas Conrad crazy with her?"
Zhou Jinru felt that this was the only possibility and shook his head. Although this matter was chaotic, it had nothing to do with him. I hope the people of St. Martin can survive this catastrophe.
Taking the car back to the Glasgow Gang's station, the officers from the Rhode Island Equipment Department were already in place. Broca, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was directing the installation of the signal transmitting base. When the macho cat Mao Tou saw him coming, he simply said hello.
Zhou Jinru cried with joy. This dear friend finally stopped looking at him and couldn't help wiping the moist corners of his eyes.
At this time, the repairman 3 came over with the drawings and said seriously: "Doctor, look, this is the preliminary plan of our equipment department. After installing the base here, the special signal emitted can be recognized by our equipment. In addition,
There are also two confidentiality agreements to prevent hackers."
Zhou Jinru glanced at the drawings twice. He actually couldn't understand this thing, but he couldn't show his timidity in front of his own people. He patted Xiu San on the shoulder and said, "I know the skills of the equipment department. Do your best."
After listening to Zhou Jinru's encouragement, Xiu San looked excited: "Actually, the equipment department has other plans, such as installing an additional power-enhancing module. After it is activated, there will be only our family's radio waves in the sky above the entire Tulip Street, and
…”
"wait."
Zhou Jinru looked unkind: "Aren't you manipulating St. Martin's communication link now? It's like drilling a hole in the wall. Are you ready to tear down the wall according to your wishes?"
"It is completely feasible. The Equipment Department is confident that all communication equipment in Saint Martin will be paralyzed within six hours. The drones will not be able to take off, and the city will be able to rely on loudspeakers for at least two hours."
Zhou Jinru’s expression turned even more ugly: “We can only use the speakers?”
"Well, I have prepared a large speaker. Do you want to see it?"
"dont see!"
Zhou Jinru rudely pushed Xiu San away and let these people do their work. They went about it in a warlike manner, paralyzing communication equipment and attacking drones. They couldn't do anything better and had to become war mad.
"I'm back."
Zhou Jinru pushed the door open and came in. Breeze was holding cards in his hand and sitting motionless on the sofa. Amiya stretched out a hand, held a piece of paper and tried to put it on Breeze's face. As Zhou Jinru's voice sounded, Xiao Feng
Rabbit's movements froze in mid-air, while Breeze's face was red, her eyes were closed tightly, and her eyelashes were trembling and she didn't dare to open them.
Amiya put down the cards in her hand and sat upright: "Why didn't you knock on the door when the doctor came in? This is very rude!"
Breeze wiped the note off her face, covered her face and ran into the room, slamming the door.
"Look, you scared Sister Grace away."
Little rabbit, don't beat me up. It's very busy outside, but you are happy and free.
Zhou Jinru sat on the sofa angrily, reached out to pick up the teapot and poured water, and asked: "Has anyone delivered the goods?"
Amiya's long ears twitched, she held an apple in her hands and nibbled on it: "Yes, most of the things are in the kitchen, and some are in the refrigerator."
She was leaning against the sofa, her legs were curled up, and she was covered with a blanket. Her feet wearing black cotton socks poked out of the edge of the blanket, looking like a homely girl.
For some reason, Zhou Jinru suddenly wanted to give her 20 or 30 pieces of homework. He thought that in high school, he was almost buried in test papers. He had no time to play cards. Real people are so annoying.
"Is the Doctor thinking of something rude?"
Zhou Jinru drank tea: "Are you sensing my emotions?"
"No, I guess, I can only sense violent fluctuations in emotions."
The guess is quite accurate, but Zhou Jinru is not going to admit it. After all, doing more homework is not a bad thing, so how can it be considered rude?
He got up and walked to the kitchen, intending to make some afternoon tea to reward the busy operators outside.
Amiya can't cook, so she can't count on it, and Breeze's meager cooking skills are even less good. She's either fried fish or baked potatoes, and Victoria's dietary standards cannot be complimented.
