Flame
It was already midnight when the plane stopped at the airport. The tired passengers were covered in dust, and their disordered biological clocks had put a heavy burden on them both physically and mentally. One by one, they lowered their heads, yawned, and went to the conveyor belt to look for their luggage.
Fūya Rei was out of place in the crowd. Even the 13-hour flight did not make the working emperor sleepy. He was on the phone while carrying his luggage, and his two tasks were not affected at all. "How is the investigation into Huiren Society going?" He lowered his voice, using the noisy crowd to cover up the conversation, "Especially the part about Taki Hongguang..."
"Calm down, Mr. Furiya," Furiya's all-purpose tool man, Fengjian, responded helplessly, "The Huiren Society, which is a religious organization..." The implication in his words was obvious. In Japan, it was not uncommon for such religious organizations to have several or a faction of politicians standing behind them, especially the Huiren Society, which was spread all over Asia. "If we conduct a direct search, it will be easy to bypass it, but if we go undercover, it will be difficult for non-believers to enter the core. There seems to be a set of standards for distinguishing beliefs within the Huiren Society. Unless our people are deeply brainwashed, otherwise..."
You won't be trusted, right? But if one is deeply brainwashed, doesn’t that mean he is an undercover agent and has defected to the enemy? Fūya Rei ground his back teeth. What made him most uncomfortable was knowing that something harmful to the country existed but could not be removed for various reasons. "Did the undercover agents who entered before really not obtain any information?" He asked again without giving up.
"They are all financial statements," Feng Jian sighed. His eyes were already bloodshot from flipping through several pages of information without sleep. "Hui Ren Society seems to have invested in many laboratories and funded scientists. In recent years, it has also entered the new media field, but these are all normal business activities. The source of funds is indeed the 'voluntary donations' of believers, but it is operated in accordance with legal procedures. At least from a legal point of view, there is no problem."
"... and Mr. Taki Hongguang," Fōtani Ling's face became more and more solemn as he listened, "He is a distant relative of a senior executive in Huiren Society. He had been living in the countryside before and only came to the city in recent years. His file is very clean and there are signs of being dealt with. We went to his hometown to investigate. It seems that he had caused some trouble in the countryside before, and he couldn't stay there anymore, so he went to live with that distant relative..."
Another poor relative who relied on a meager blood relationship to get by... Furuya Ling frowned. Although he didn't know whether this experience was true or not, the sense of déjà vu had brought back bad memories for him. "What happened?"
"The principal of the local primary school is his cousin. During an argument, he cut his wife into pieces and stuffed her into a safe," Feng Jian shuddered as he read it. "Later, a student opened the safe while playing hide-and-seek, and nearly scared everyone to death. It is said that the villagers think he was involved, because his aunt had a very bad relationship with Taki Hongguang's parents, and Taki Hongguang couldn't stand his aunt. The villagers said that the boy must have helped his cousin cut his aunt into pieces."
What kind of elementary school student can open a safe? Kazuki Ishii · Lily? Furuya Rei's thoughts were inevitably diverted for a moment. He felt that if he continued to complain, the topic would go too far, so he forced himself to hold it in. "So it's just a rumor?"
"The police also investigated him, but they had to release him because they couldn't find any evidence. However, the villagers all believed that he was involved in the case," Fengjian was not sure about this. "Plus, a class in the middle school in Higashino Village dismembered a classmate, and the whole hometown was in a panic. Under such circumstances, Taki Hongguang was labeled as guilty and could no longer stay in his hometown."
"His experience at Huiren Society is nothing special. We found out that he had always been with his distant relatives, and only recently was he given some authority to handle affairs independently."
