It is conceivable that Chiba City, as a part of the Tokyo circle, is very close to Tokyo in terms of distance and relationship. General Ma Gui came here from there.

By the way, Kisho Arima got off the plane at another famous airport, Tokyo Haneda Airport, because it is closer to downtown Tokyo, and it is located in Ota Ward, Tokyo.

……

The agents of the Chiba County Association branch had been waiting for a long time at the intersection of the highway, and Hikigu lined up among them.

To be honest, he is still a little confused. On such an ordinary day, he is working quietly in the office, and everything is so peaceful and ordinary.

At this time, the branch heads of 36 city-level associations in the entire Chiba County flocked to his site in one breath, saying that they were ordered by the county to welcome the commissioner Arima Kisho...

To be honest, at that time Hikigu was shocked and nothing but incredible.

The arrest warrant for the ghouls is vibrating and mysterious. It is not uncommon for him to know that a man named Kisho Arima was assigned to investigate and suppress the rebellion of the ghouls... But that person is not staying in Tokyo, but came to this small place in Chiba to do it. What?

The port to the scene of the crime?Then he can take the sea route, it can be faster from Tokyo Bay, and it doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Chiba County Association Branch.

Could it be... something is going to happen to Chiba City?

Shivering, Bi Qigu shook his head to dispel the ominous premonition, he simply stopped thinking about it, but looked at these colleagues who were rarely seen in ordinary times with great interest.

Tsk tsk tsk... Hikigu sighed in his heart:

Leaving the agents of each branch and the interim branch chiefs appointed by them to maintain order in various places, and the branch chiefs greeted them as faces, which can be said to not delay the guarding tasks of various places, but also give enough face to the visitors... It should be said that it is worthy It is a branch of the county-level association, and it is really handy and experienced in handling things. He has much more to learn than Qigu.

As the head of the association branch in Chiba City, the core city of Chiba County, Hikigaya's status is vaguely relatively high among the crowd. At this time, he is standing on the left side of the head of the Chiba County Association branch. Behind them are the other 36 heads of municipal association branches.

As the so-called strength depends entirely on peers, when the 36 branch heads of the association stood behind him, facing the sun and eating the dust of the highway, Bi Qigu had a clearer understanding of his current status :

Insufficient compared to the top, more than the bottom, there are no taboos in Chiba City, and a few people in Chiba County are below.

This is also the first time that Hikigu has looked away from the city of Chiba City and looked at a broader stage—even if this stage is only Chiba Prefecture.

……

At 12:20 noon, a long convoy came from the far side of the highway.

After driving out of the exit, people wearing silver-gray trench coats came down from the convoy——

You can tell people by their clothes, this familiar outfit is definitely an agent, Bi Qigu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, God, they finally came, who knows how vicious the sun at noon in July is.

The door of the black Rolls-Royce Phantom car surrounded by the convoy opened, Kisho Arima got out of the car, and shook hands with the head of the Chiba County Association branch who came up.

When he saw these people, he probably knew what was going on. He didn't want to make any comments, so he cut directly to the topic, "Have the materials been prepared? Have the ghouls been searched? Have you done the pre-war mobilization and preparations?"

The head of the Chiba County branch was immediately asked: "This..."

"never mind."

Kisho Arima waved his hand indifferently,

"It's useless to welcome me. Hurry up and go back and perform your duties and prepare for war. I will draw you to participate in the battle at any time."

"Yes!"

"By the way, the head of the Chiba City branch will stay here for a while. I have something else I want to talk to you about in the car."

With that said, Kisho Arima hurried back into the Rolls-Royce again.

The head of the Chiba County branch scratched his head with a headache, dismissed everyone on the spot, and asked them to return to the branch they were in charge of quickly.

After finishing all this, the head of the Chiba County branch and Hikigaya looked at each other, saw the uneasy expression in each other's eyes, relaxed a little, and got into Kisho Arima's Rolls-Royce.

"To Chiba Port."

As soon as the two got into the car, Arima Kisho gave instructions to the driver.

Chiba Port... Hikigu had an idea, and drops of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. Isn't this the port where the supplies were robbed?No way?Doesn't the matter of the port being robbed really have something to do with Chiba?

"Speaking of which, Chiba Port is the port where the accident happened, right?"

Kisho Arima looked at the two Hikigaya, his expressionless face and calm voice seemed extraordinarily majestic and intimidating, "Are you responsible for that?"

"No! Of course not!"

Chiba Port, Chiba Port, sounds like the jurisdiction of Chiba, which is indeed confusing. Even the agents of the association, if they have never been in contact with this kind of work, may not know that Chiba Port is really real. Does not belong to Chiba tube.

Regarding similar questions, the head of the Chiba County Branch, who never blamed himself, has explained it countless times in the past few days, so that he can even recite the information backwards in the answer to this kind of question.

"Chiba Port Chiba Port is located on the northeast coast of Tokyo Bay in the southern part of Honshu, with Kisarazu Port in the south, Tokyo Port in the west, Yokohama Port in the southwest, Tokyo Port, and Chiba City as the center of the port, Funabashi Edogawa in the northwest, and Funabashi Edogawa in the southwest. It stretches for more than 130 kilometers to Ichihara Kamiura Town, with a water area of ​​about 25 square kilometers, divided into two main port areas, Chiba and Funabashi.”

"Because the coastline of the port is too long, spanning many cities and counties, and for the convenience of unified management, ports like Chiba Port belong to the branch of the association that specializes in managing port bays."

"For example, the entire Chiba Port is under the jurisdiction of the branch of the Tokyo Bay Association, and it has nothing to do with our Chiba County Association branch."

"That's right. Then you immediately call the head of the branch of the Tokyo Bay Association and ask him to wait for me at Chiba Port."

"Yes!"

"In addition, let him lead all the people in his branch to go to Chiba Port to wait for me, and you will also send one-third of the people from Chiba County to go there."

Arima Kisho pushed the reflective glasses, his face was expressionless, and his eyes narrowed slightly:

"...Before the sun sets today, I will knock down their stronghold here and take the first step in solving the case of the ghouls."

Although he didn't know what Kisho Arima was talking about, the chief of Chiba County quickly replied, "Yes!"

The convoy centered on this Rolls-Royce Phantom was speeding all the way, and it seemed that it was about to arrive at Chiba Port again.

In the car, Arima Kisho glanced at the watch on his wrist and calculated the time carefully.

There are still 3 minutes to arrive at Chiba Port.

He turned his head to look at Biqigu again, with exploration and appreciation in his eyes.

he asked—

"Are you an S-level genius, Lord Sakaski's new apprentice?"

……

Chapter 57 The Mainstream of Destiny Is Mistakes

Hikigu shook his head and said frankly: "I don't dare to be a genius, but Mr. Sakaski is indeed my master."

His attitude of being neither arrogant nor irritable, and from the bottom of his heart aroused the favor of Arima Kisho.

"Good job."

"The association belongs to the generals and the branch ministers of the associations of various countries, but in the final analysis, it belongs to you young people who are still polishing at the grassroots level but have unlimited potential."

Under the envious eyes of the head of the branch of the Chiba County Association, Arima Kisho patted Hikigaya on the shoulder, his face still not fluctuating, but there was encouragement and appreciation in his eyes, and he said softly:

"I can see the sleeping Zheng Rong in your heart, and I can also see the flames that are about to ignite in your eyes."

"Please show yourself to your heart's content, do your best to achieve greatness, and stand up bravely to shoulder the future of the association and the entire mysterious world."

Do your best to achieve greatness, this is what Sakaski once said to Hikigaya, and now Kisho Arima said it again to Hikigaya, which made Hikigaya feel differently.

I don't know why, Arima Kisho is not stingy with his own praise, he is known for his facial paralysis and silence, and he is difficult to get along with. Except for Sakaski, who is so kind to him, no one has ever been treated so brightly by Arima Kisho Appreciate it.

"Don't worry, this association is far bigger than you imagined, no matter how big your ambition is, you can pretend it."

Arima Kishou withdrew his hand, turned his head away, and said the last sentence:

"Although I may not see that day, I believe that you will stand at the pinnacle of the association sooner or later... By then, General Sakaski will feel much more relaxed and gratified."

After finishing speaking, Arima Kisho stopped talking.

Bi Qigu hesitated to speak, but said nothing.

Tsk, what a pessimistic argument, always emphasizing that he will not live long... Sure enough, the farther an agent travels in the mysterious world, the closer he is to the madness and depravity, the more he knows The fact that he is precarious.

"The path of mystery, leaving this path is the result of drowning. Standing still is the result of starvation."

"Only keep going."

"Keep going, and the end point is the bottomless underground. Whenever you go so far that no one can reach, you will walk into the abyss."

For no reason, Hikigu remembered what Yang Nai said, which was the third lesson Yang Nai taught her.

Ah, speaking of Yang Nao, how is she doing now?Is your work in Osaka going well?Speaking of which, when will Yang Nai come back to meet Xue Nai?Hikigu still remembers Yang Nao's reaction when he knew that Yukino also joined the secret.

It's anger and fear coexisting, shame and bewilderment intertwined... Hikigu is burdened with the guilt of letting Yukino step into the secret, so I was deeply impressed by Yangno's reaction at that time.

Shaking his head, now is not the time to think about Ono, and Hikigaya looked at the quiet Arima Kisho again. It is a habit that Hikigaya developed before he stepped into the secret to conduct a comprehensive analysis of people after the first meeting.

The man's face is expressionless, and he wears glasses to look gentle and bookish; the overall slightly melancholy and silent temperament makes Bi Qigu feel that he should read quietly in the sunny afternoon of the library, rather than rushing to the battlefield with a suitcase, Containment is weird.

A detective with a complex personality and a lot of pressure, Hikigu made a preliminary judgment in his heart.

——This is also the status quo of most senior detectives. They should not belong to the Mystery, but they are drifting away from the Mystery; Became the trump card of the Asia Society branch, the undefeated god of war, the white god of death...

In fact, why not Biqigu?

Fortune tricks people, probably the mainstream of fate is accidents.

And... Hikigu continued to think about what Arima said just now. He mentioned that General Sakaski was relieved and relieved.

It seems that Kisho Arima must have a good relationship with Sakasky. People say that Kisho Arima is one of Sakaski's most trusted and capable right-hand men. Sure enough, the trust is mutual... The one who was taken by himself The fiery tall man called Master has such a charismatic personality that wins people's hearts.

After Hikiya finished his analysis, a comprehensive, three-dimensional image of Kisho Arima with flesh and blood appeared in Hikiya's heart.

Cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he has a thick protective layer, is grateful and loyal to Sakalski and takes care of the younger generation, has feelings for the association, has a complicated personality and bears a lot of pressure, and is an excellent elite man who pays attention to efficiency and practicality in doing things...Limited time and limited contact , Bi Qigu can only initially draw these analyzes that need to be revised.

In terms of seeing people and observing people's hearts, Hikigu thinks that although he is not particularly good at it, he is still a little good at it.

As soon as the analysis here was finished, the speeding car started to decelerate, and stopped steadily after three seconds.

Chiba Port, here we come.

"Come on, let's go and see."

Before the driver got out of the car and ran over to open the door for him, Arima picked up the silver suitcase beside the seat, pushed the door open and got out of the car.

Hikigu and Chiba County Association branch Zhang followed closely, and the team's agents also got off the car.

As soon as I got out of the car, the salty and humid sea breeze blows in my face. In the empty port due to the early blockade, large blue or red containers are lined up at the pier, and the yellow crane is quietly parked beside the containers.

In the distance, Biqigu also saw sea cats screaming at the pier, seagulls rising and falling with the waves, and the sound of the waves lining the coast made the port under the blue sky and golden sunshine look extraordinarily quiet.

In the silence, Arima Kisho walked around with a suitcase, quietly comprehending everything around him, and communicating with the spirits here.

"Take me to the scene."

This was the first sentence Arima Kisho said after getting off the car, and Zhang from the branch of the Chiba County Association responded, leading the crowd to the shore of the port.

Standing here for a while, Kisho Arima came up with some information, thought for a moment, then turned around and cast his eyes on a certain agent behind him.

"Next, I'll leave it to you." Kisho Arima turned his head half sideways and said,

"With the help of the crime scene here, and the ghoul organs prepared in advance and left over from that battle, I think you should be able to find their gathering place, right?"

There was a horse pushing his glasses, "Mr. Psychic?"

"Yes."

Everyone looked at it together, and the middle-aged detective, who looked honest and honest, nodded calmly and walked out in response.

"If it's only within Chiba City, I should be able to find out where they gather."

"Next, please keep quiet, thank you for your cooperation."

He left the detectives, walked to an open space, opened the suitcase in his hand, took out a sealed opaque box from it and carefully placed it on the ground—combining with the horse just now, Hikigu guessed that it should be Chiba The organs of the ghouls who died here during the First World War in Hong Kong.

Next, the man sat cross-legged on the ground, with the palms of his hands, the palms of his feet, and the top of his head facing the sky, his eyes closed and his breath held.

Everyone didn't dare to breathe, including Arima, they all stared at the man without blinking their eyes, only heard the whimpering of the sea wind blowing in their ears, the wailing of the sea cat, and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.

Bi Qigu felt it carefully, and vaguely felt that the spirits in the air were indeed becoming more and more active, they were restless, they jumped, they communicated with that person, and they told him everything they knew.

……

Chapter 58 There are things that only the living can do

10 minutes may not be enough for a person to think about a big math problem, nor is it enough for a person to go from lying in bed to falling asleep;

However, this rather short time will become extremely long on certain occasions, such as the teacher's procrastination after class, such as people waiting in fear now.

Ten minutes later, the psychic opened his eyes, his face suddenly changed from normal rosy to pale, his bruised lips opened, and he let out a long breath.

Obviously, this psychic communication was not easy for him, it exhausted his body, and there may be some price that others don't know.

He stood up unsteadily, and immediately two discerning detectives walked over to support him.
