Congratulations on Your Arrest

Chapter 364: Descendants of famous craftsmen in Kyoto

Chapter 364 Descendants of Kyoto master craftsmen

The same person, in the eyes of different people, naturally has a different perception.

Someone saw that Higashinohara was not feeling well,

It is a different feeling when someone looks at him.

Almost at the same time,

In the center of the Kyoto metropolitan area,

The World Bank headquarters building,

In an extremely spacious and spacious office with the door plate of the CEO of the Energy Trade Strategy Department.

Perhaps it is because the World Bank Tower, which is over ninety-nine stories high, is too high and too cold. It is obviously late spring, and the inside and outside of this office in the middle of the eighty-ninth floor is extraordinarily cold.

Looking towards the sky outside through the transparent glass curtain wall of the building, the sun hangs in the sky like a peeled boiled egg yolk, and the light refracts on people without the slightest warmth.

Opening the glass skylight and being blown by the high-altitude wind, people can't help but shrink their necks immediately. Even the indoor decorations are full of cold-resistant potted plants such as "Plum Blossom", "Temple vine" and "Winter Beauty" in the empty and cold office. Wanton growth.

Behind the black log desk of Lion Mountain in the southern suburbs, facing the glass curtain wall, the woman turned around and leaned on the chair, holding a photo drawn from a tan calfskin envelope in her hand.

The background of the photo is the drizzle by the lakeside, a man and a woman are sitting at a white round table. The woman is staring at the side face and eyebrows of the young man, and the corners of her lips unconsciously raise a slight arc, making the photo look like something out of thin air. Love between men and women.

The woman who took the elevator and sent this sealed photo in a calfskin envelope upstairs was named Mia. She was in her twenties but she was extremely talented. She graduated from a prestigious school in Beijing with a double degree in finance and energy trade. Such qualifications Enough to make her have enough proud capital.

However, in front of this soft-looking and dignified middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk in front of her, Mia, who lowered her head slightly, showed an extremely respectful posture.

Because this woman is the eldest daughter of the Tianhu Bart family who lives in seclusion in the clouds of the world and controls the financial lifeline of the world. She can be called the "eldest princess" of the world-class financial empire of the Bart family.

Aphra Bart.

If she wants to shake up a country's energy mining market, just nod a little.

Then tomorrow,

The energy mine market in this country will immediately become saturated and trampled, and in just one night, all the people holding energy mine stock futures will be able to go to the sky.

Sitting at such a height, holding such five invisible giant hands capable of manipulating the world from another angle, Aphra Bate, who is looking down at the world, has long been accustomed to seeing the sorrows, joys, loves and hatreds at the bottom, and the various aspects of the world.

It's hard for something to cause any waves in her calm heart.

But since entering this office this morning, Aphra Bate has not looked at the world under her feet, nor has she looked at the treacherous energy mining stock market in Beijing.

He just lowered his head and silently stared at the photo in his hand, and at the girl with slightly raised mouth corners in the photo.

Yes, that’s right, it’s a girl.

In the photo, Dorothy Alita, who is sitting opposite Higashinohara, may have a daunting identity in the eyes of others, such as "the third judge", "the empress" and so on.

But in the eyes of Aphra Bart.

That's a girl,

forever girl.

In memory, the girl didn't seem to have smiled for a long, long time since her father died.

"Is this the young man?" Aphra Bart suddenly asked.

"Yes." Mia nodded, "This is a photo sent by the manor."

While speaking, Mia looked at the other person's face from the corner of her eye. She thought that the other party would be angry, but she didn't see any sullen look on the face of the woman in front of her.

But as a dedicated helper, it has become instinctive to share the employer's worries. She couldn't help but subconsciously asked:

"Need me to investigate?"

Aphra Bart's gaze still remained on that photo. At this time, after hearing what the female assistant said, she raised her head and glanced at her, smiling for no reason on her soft and dignified face.

"Investigate? Investigate what?"

The female assistant Mia was stunned when she heard it, and couldn't help but said, "Don't you care about the young lady most of the time, and that young man seems to be a human being"

"What about humans?"

Aphra Bart suddenly interrupted with a blank expression, her pair of light blue slender eyes silently stared at the personal assistant in front of her.

Suddenly, the temperature in the cold and quiet office seemed to drop a few degrees.

The female assistant Mia was shocked!

Thinking of a certain gossip about the Tianhu Bart family in my mind, I saw the woman's face and fell silent, not even daring to take a breath.

After a while, Aphra Bart retracted her gaze, landed on the face of the young man in the photo in her hand again, and said slowly:

"There is no need to investigate, and there is no need to investigate. My daughter's vision is not below mine."

Speaking of this, Aphra Bart sighed softly, "If she hadn't left the family to join the damned adjudication department, a few years later... it would be her who sat in the office on the top floor of this World Bank building , not those short-sighted people."

"Miss is indeed very talented in finance." The female assistant Mia praised sincerely.

Of course, what makes her envious but can only look up to is the other party's talent in talent cultivation.

A ninth-level god-level powerhouse who is less than thirty,

Placed in any country on the Cross Continent, it is an amazing talent enough to be recorded in history.

But she seemed to think of something again, and couldn't help but said cautiously, "But if it's a human being, it will be with the Patriarch in the future."

Hearing Mia's words, Aphra Bate was also slightly taken aback.

That soft and dignified face rarely showed a little hatred, but soon returned to normal.

She stared at Higashinohara in the photo, and suddenly said softly, "I said, my daughter's vision is much better than mine."

"If there is a day in the future, then I shouldn't need to worry about the person who can be favored by my daughter."

Hearing Aphra Bart's words, Mia forcibly resisted the urge to look at the young man's face in the photo, but her heart was full of bewilderment and puzzlement.

A mere human being.

Why does Madam look up to you so much?

But although she was dedicated to her duties, she also knew what was too much, so she lowered her head slightly when she heard this, and took a few steps back to sit on the assistant seat near the door.

Aphra Bart turned around, and the warm yellow sunlight fell on her body through the glass curtain wall in front of her, but she couldn't feel any warm breath.

Sixteen years ago,

It is on the World Bank Building, a landmark building in the center of the upper Kyoto metropolitan area.

A human man jumped from the window of the office on the top floor of the building, and turned into a pool of scarlet flesh on the ground in front of the building.

At that time, the suicide case in front of the World Bank Building was a sensation. After all, the nobles in Beijing knew whose property it was.

But in the end it didn't make any waves.

No one knows why the dead man appeared on the top floor of the World Bank building,

No one knows why the dead man jumped from the windy window on the top floor, and no one even knows the name of the dead man

But Aphra Bart knows everything.

At this moment, bathed in this temperatureless light and silently looking at the glass curtain wall in front of her, Aphra Bate suddenly thought coldly in her mind:

Perhaps, at a certain moment when the man fell from a height of several hundred meters, he also passed by her who was in this office at that time.

It's just that she didn't realize it at that time.

Later, she chose to accept the statement given by the old man in the World Bank building—that man couldn’t bear the pressure and had a nervous breakdown and committed suicide by jumping off the building.

But Dorothy Alita, who was only ten years old at the time, did not accept it.

So she stayed in the building.

The little girl who was only ten years old left the building.

Went to a place even colder than here, that is, the black building of the Shangjing Judgment Department.

Aphra Bate will always remember the cold and lonely eyes the girl looked at her when she left the building, and there is no longer any trace of her daughter's dependence on her mother.

She said that she was going to a place where "the dead could speak", and that day would not come too late.

Thinking up to this point, Aphra Bate couldn't help but close her eyes slightly, calming down her thoughts quietly.

When I reopen my eyes,

She suddenly understood the meaning of her daughter taking the initiative to forward this photo to her today.

On the one hand, it is natural to prevent her from investigating her situation too much through the maids of the manor, on the other hand, it seems to indicate some past events that have long passed.

For a while, the eyes fell on the young man in the photo in his hand again.

Looking at the young but steady face of the other party, he suddenly sighed faintly in his heart.

If there is such a day,

I hope you won't let my daughter down again.

After a night of deliberation on the incident at Kenneth’s mansion last night,

Because there are many high-level politicians and parliamentarians involved, even the adjudication department cannot completely silence it.

The story was widely circulated, but in the end it was brewing into a storm that swept across the city.

When Higashinohara got off the car that the maid gave him, he just took the subway back to the Stafford Private Great Sword Academy on the shore of Lake Michelle in the southern suburbs of Maizi Prefecture,

Almost every platform stop,

There will always be a group of agents of the Condor Bureau who have the ability to rush in like a tide, each with tense faces, like hounds, searching harder than the people of the black-robed execution team.

No way, no one knows the guy wearing the pale clown mask who attacked and killed Judge Metheus,

Did you get mixed up in the dinner party from the beginning?

Or was it an uninvited guest who entered the mansion halfway like the Dawn Rebels?

After all, for the kind of powerful ability user who can kill the judge Metheus.

The security of Senator Kenneth's mansion is almost useless, people simply come and leave as they say.

In addition, after the death of Charles "Fog Ghost", the fierce battle between the remaining Dawn rebels and the black-robed execution of the Judgment Department made the scene chaotic, and most of the life-saving congressmen and politicians secretly left the scene under the protection of security.

This makes the investigation starting from the list of people invited to the dinner after the fact is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and can only be forced to carry out the current large-scale sweep and search that is almost like a city closure.

The reason why people from the Condor Secret Service of the United States of Targos worked so hard,

Naturally, it was because of that damned guy last night. He was wearing a black uniform of the Condor Bureau.

Reasonable, such an obvious framing, anyone who saw it would probably be able to see it at a glance.

The problem is that .

The Judgment Division is never a place for reasoning.

In case they searched and found no clues, it is difficult to guarantee that the adjudicator, who has nowhere to vent his anger, will charge them with the crime of guarding the thief and shouting to catch the thief.

Therefore, it is not the police station or the black-robed execution team of the Judgment Department who are doing the most search in the city of Meiji Mansion, but the agents of the Condor Bureau.

But to say the worst.

Naturally, they are the criminals in this "sin city".

Before the blood was ignited, the Shenying Bureau broke through and entered Zhongliang. The atmosphere of the city was completely cleared up, and the daily crime rate dropped to the lowest level in history.

Of course, Higashinohara was also quite unlucky.

The drive took more than 40 minutes, but dragged on for more than two hours. It is estimated that the urban transportation system of Meiji Prefecture has been completely paralyzed today.

When he finally got off the subway and returned to Stafford Private Academy, he left the manor in the morning and unexpectedly just caught up with the school lunch time.

That's fine too.

Higashi Nohara had an easy-going personality, and walked straight into the academy restaurant.

Last night, the physical energy was exhausted, and it was not easy to open the open-air garden restaurant in the lake-lit garden restaurant of Duo Luoxi's house this morning.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Higashinohara ordered a delicious pork knuckle rice, and came to the corner to eat for a while.

Comfortable!

Today is still a weekend break, and there are not many people around when Higashinohara eats.

But most of the students sitting near him were discussing the city-wide martial law this time, talking about the gossip they got from their respective channels.

"Have you heard? The judge who came to our academy two nights ago was killed."

"Hey! That's the guy who can wrestle with the principal, and he's also a member of the special investigation team of the Shangjing Tribunal Division. Who is so courageous?"

"My relatives have a friend at the scene, and I heard that they are members of the Dawn Revolutionary Army."

"Tsk tsk, the Liming Revolutionary Army is making such a fuss, it seems that the next World Conference in Beijing will make a big move."

"Fucking Dawn Revolutionary Army, my friend has a relative who is also at the scene. It is said that the Judgment Department was infighting, Judge Metheus had an affair with the Revolutionary Army, and the Empress did it herself."

"Empress? Is it Lord Alita? Is she here too?"

"Good job! That judge must be a good guy."

“.”

As soon as the "Empress" was mentioned, the cheering students in the restaurant suddenly became excited.

The United States of Tagos is adjacent to the upper Kyoto metropolitan area. Students from all over the world are no strangers to the eerie executive agency of the World Government, the Judgment Division, and most of them have no good impression of it.

But only the Empress.

That joined the Judgment Division more than ten years ago,

The level of ability and so on, under the noses of countless people, the realm of strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, soaring steadily.

Hardly any bottlenecks,

Before the age of thirty, everyone's attention was shocked,

A talented woman who stepped into the ninth-level god-level ability that countless people can't even hope for or reach.

It can be said that you look down on the men of the world.

People are always strong.

Especially when this strong man is still growing up under your nose.

Although he has never shown his true face in public,

Dorothy Alita suddenly became the peak of worship of countless young girls with abilities all over the world, and the empress that boys can't reach.

Of course, there are more or less some of the adjudication department's propaganda, which deliberately restores the image and face of ordinary people who have fallen to the bottom of the valley in the past century.

However, Higashinohara, who was sitting next to him, was eating pork knuckle rice, listening to the speeches of the people around him about "I have a relative and friend" at Kenneth's mansion last night, and about the "Empress" Dorothy Alita's words. Love and adore.

As a party,

Even the "culprit" of him, for a moment, his face suddenly became a little weird.

But just as he was holding back his old complaints, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated twice.

Higashi Yehara took out the rice while cooking,

glanced at the screen,

His pupils froze slightly.

The message was sent by Dusk, a partner of the [Breaking Dawn Scarlet] Hunter Organization,

The specific content is only two lines of simple text.

"The descendants of Kyoto's famous craftsman Kamado Teyō,

I found it for you. "

Below the text is a map location,

The location is surprisingly [Barton County] adjacent to the Bama Canal in the "one capital and six counties" in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area.
