Chapter 335: Ring "Don't you still exist?"
When Miyano Shiho floated back, Lin Xi had already untied the rope, taken a shower, and restored everything to normal.
At this moment she was drinking in her new clothes.
"How is it?" Seeing Miyano Shiho coming back, she turned her head with a smile.
"That Black Crow Group pharmaceutical company appears to be a legitimate company on the surface, but underneath it's a secret research institute." Miyano Shiho sighed. "They're conducting human experiments. I even saw an artificially grown fetus."
"Fetuses range from six months to twelve years old, immersed in a highly oxygenated solution, with instruments monitoring their physiological conditions. They're all alive, but appear unconscious." She looked at Lin Xi. "Were you also raised this way? Do you have any memory from birth until now?"
Lin Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Yes."
"Ah." Miyano Shiho changed her posture and floated, "You have such a hard life, Xixi."
"It's not bitter." Lin Xi smiled. "Don't I still have you?"
The Black Crows are indeed Karasuma Renya's property.
Sooner or later it will be blown up.
"Hey." Miyano Shiho hugged her lovingly. "Do you still have to go to the studio this afternoon?"
"Well, I just did a practice sketch, and I'm going to show it to you, teacher." Lin Xi rolled up the paper in her hand. "It's a nice day today, so I can go hiking and relax. I wonder if you cooked the rabbit I left in the kitchen? If it's delicious, I'll get two more next time."
Miyano Shiho noticed her mood brightened. "You must be careful. The Black Crow headquarters is heavily guarded, with cameras everywhere, and the patrollers are all carrying stun guns. They look well-trained."
"rest assured."
As long as she can confirm that it is Karasuma Renya's property, she can find a way to bite off a piece of his flesh.
After returning to Master Ruan's residence, Lin Xi went up the mountain again in the evening and took a look at the cave behind the stone pond.
Just as Lin Xi expected, Akai Wuwu was no longer there and the cave was empty.
She did not linger, but went down the path, covered her face with a cloth, and came to a shop.
After exchanging secret codes with the servant, she was invited to the inner room.
"Did the people I arranged to guard the foot of the mountain yesterday see any suspicious people coming down the mountain?"
"Yes, sir, yes," said the shop owner. "Since we at Canglan Pavilion have accepted your money, we will definitely take care of the matter for you."
"A wounded man came down the mountain. He first went to the pharmacy on the east side of West Street, and then stayed in a hotel on the south side. Is he the man you asked us to keep an eye on?"
Lin Xi nodded: "It's him."
This shop is under the name of Canglan Pavilion, which is the largest local intelligence organization in Gangcheng. It does things for money and is involved in both black and white affairs.
After meeting Akai Tsutomu yesterday, she came down the mountain and came here, asking their people to help keep an eye on it.
She took out the money and gave it to the shop owner, said thank you, and did not go to the hotel she mentioned, but went to the other side.
The old man was watching TV indoors. When he heard the knock on the door, he sighed and said, "You're disturbing my rest again."
He slowly opened the door: "What are you doing here? You come here every day, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"If we're discovered, you'll die, but I won't be in any danger." Lin Xi sat down on the broken bench. "I tried the hypnosis method in the last few pages of your book."
"You?" The old man's eyes widened. "What are you trying to do? Are you still sane? Are you crazy?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his trembling hand to Lin Xi's nose to smell her breath. Lin Xi glared at him and he shrank back in fear.
"I'm fine," she said. "The hypnosis was successful. I can wake up from the things I've forgotten someday."
The old man looked like he had a toothache. "You little girl really likes to act first and ask for permission later. If you fail, you might become an idiot!"
Miyano Shiho thought that the hypnosis they were talking about was the same technique that Lin Xi had tried a few days ago, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She floated to Lin Xi's side, pretended that there was a chair there, and sat down.
"But I succeeded." Lin Xi didn't care. "I want to ask you now, my memory is sealed, how can I awaken it in the future?"
Now it was the old man's turn to glare at her. "You ask me, who should I ask?! Guess why it's placed on the last page? Isn't it because no one has ever experimented with it? It was originally a fragment copied by someone, with only the "Danger" mark at the beginning, saying "Do not try." I didn't expect you to be so reckless as to do it directly!"
"There's nothing I can do about it, old man! You'll have to figure it out yourself in the future, humph!"
"Also, last time you said you'd send me back to the mainland if I taught you hypnosis. Isn't it time to act now? The Black Dragon lost its leader, and there's been chaos for a while. Now the second-in-command is about to take over. If you don't send me away quickly, what will happen when they have time to deal with me?"
Lin Xi pondered for a moment: "Don't worry, do you know which gang Black Crow is close to?"
Karasuma Renya wants to take root in the port city, build a huge group and ensure the safety of underground experiments, so he must cooperate with local gangs.
Moreover, the last time he asked Lin Xi to assassinate the leader of the Black Dragon Gang, it showed that he was indeed involved in the infighting among the underworld forces.
"'Black Crow'? All the Ming Gang." The old man stroked his goatee. "Why are you asking about them?"
The Quanming Gang was at odds with the Black Dragon Gang. After the Black Dragon Gang leader died, the Quanming Gang seized their territory at the West City Wharf. No wonder Karasuma Renya asked him to assassinate their leader; it turned out to be for the wharf.
Lin Xi grinned: "I suddenly realized that I have a grudge against them."
The old man looked at her speechlessly: "You have quite a lot of enemies."
"You may not have to leave Hong Kong City, old man." Lin Xi said, "I'll write you a letter, and you go to the Black Dragon Gang to find their second-in-command."
The old man opened his eyes wide, raised the finger that was touching his beard, and pointed at himself: "Who, me?"
"You're asking me, an old man like me, to go and look for my enemies. Aren't you asking me to die?"
"Besides, you were the one who killed the boss, and you even wrote to them! I won't stop you if you want to die, but don't drag me down with you, you lunatic!"
Lin Xi took out something and placed it on the table, blocking the old man's next words.
It was a small blowgun.
"This is……"
"The murder weapon." Lin Xi said, "This is what killed the former leader of the Black Dragon Gang."
The old man shuddered and instantly withdrew his curious gaze.
"This killing weapon is uncommon, concealed and deadly, and requires skill. It was brought over from the ethnic minorities in the southwest of the inland. There are special ethnic minority settlements in Hong Kong. The Black Dragon Gang must have explored there, but they won't find any clues."
"Take my letter and tell them you have leads on the murderer. They'll definitely let you in to see the Second in Command. As for your feud with the Black Dragon Gang, I remember that, strictly speaking, it was a conflict between you and the former leader. While they were alive, it was a mortal feud. Now that they're dead, their interests should be prioritized. As long as you're still useful, they won't do anything to you."
Lin Xi had already walked into the inner room and started writing a letter with a pen in his left hand.
The old man was stunned. He stood there for a moment, then quickly jumped to Lin Xi's side. "Are you serious, little girl? I'm telling you, calm down. I'm old and I don't have many days left to live, but you're still young! Even if you die young, you'll at least live for a dozen years. Impulsiveness is the devil!"
Miyano Shiho passed through the old man's body and curiously read what Lin Xi had written. "The perpetrator is from the Quanming Gang, who are colluding with the Black Crow. If you want to retake the dock, then release the messenger... Is Xixi trying to deflect the blame?"
"I'm sincerely cooperating," Lin Xi said. "The death of the Black Dragon Gang leader has resulted in the loss of control of the West City Wharf. The Black Dragon Gang usually relies on the wharf's trade to make a fortune. Now that the civil unrest has subsided, the new second-in-command must retake the wharf if they want to win over the people. The new occupiers of the wharf happen to be the Quanming Gang, and the letter I sent gives the second-in-command a reason to rally the people and attack the Quanming Gang."
"Then why don't you find someone else to deliver the letter?" The old man stomped his foot. "My old bones should be enjoying a peaceful life at home, but now I have to be ordered around by a little girl like you. It's really a sin!"
"Enjoy a peaceful life?" Lin Xi snorted coldly, "You've done so many evil things, and you still want to enjoy a peaceful life in your old age? Come on. It's just a few months of leisure, don't think you're such a good person."
"You've offended more than just the Black Dragon Gang, and they're not the only ones who have grudges against you. Since you don't have to flee, why not think further afield and find an opportunity to avenge yourself? At your age, you're ready for a bold fight."
Are you serious? His beard is all white and he looks to be in his sixties or seventies. Do you dare to fight?
Miyano Shiho clicked her tongue twice, changed her posture and floated in the air.
"You little girl! You really are..." The old man pointed at her, "You gave me an offer I couldn't refuse!"
He used to be a big shot in the Hong Kong underworld, and although his situation is hopeless now and he is nothing but a fleeing rat, he is still a brave man at heart, and he does like taking risks and is good at seizing opportunities.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Lin Xi to save it in exchange for his knowledge of the underworld.
"Besides, you should be very familiar with the Black Dragon Gang." Lin Xi put the letter away. "You must have a lot of acquaintances there, right? You can just use facial recognition when delivering the letter. How convenient."
The old man twitched his lips.
Oh, there are quite a lot of mortal enemies there.
But - he just likes to see how they dislike him but can't get rid of him!
"Alright, leave this job to me." The old man snatched the letter. "It's almost the 21st century. Why are you still using such an old-fashioned method of communication? Can't you just use a cell phone?"
Lin Xi stared at him with a death glare.
How could they, two poor fellows who couldn't even scrape together a thousand dollars, afford to buy that thing?
"Using envelopes helps us highlight our mysterious nature," she said calmly. "What is our mission?"
"Mysterious! Mysterious! Still mysterious!"
As for that mobile phone, buy it when you have money!
