People in Tiga, just become Leo

Chapter 353 The Lonely Old Man
TPC base, command room.

Dagu and Xincheng have returned, with drawings drawn by eyewitnesses.

Two cosmic beings who look alike.

One is covered in red, and the face is a regular hexagonal blue gemstone.

A red gem with a blue body and a regular hexagonal face.

However, the protrusions on the shoulders of the blue-skinned cosmic being are wider than the red one, and it looks full of evil spirits.

"That's the guy?" Xincheng picked up a picture and frowned.

"Maybe two."

As Dagu said this, he quickly stopped Qin Long from drawing a beard on the paper with a pen.

"They were so frightened at the time, so what they said may not be reliable." Commander Zong Fang calmly analyzed while leaning on his chair.

"But, this is the only clue we have so far!" Ju Jianhui clasped his hands together and said.

"I entered that image and checked it. Among the confirmed life forms in the universe..."

"There is no one that matches this image, is that what you want to say?"

Before Ye Rui could finish speaking, Horii interrupted him.

"That's right." Ye Rui clicked his lips and replied with a subtle expression.

Are you telepathic?

"Consultant Qin, do you know these two cosmic beings?" Dagu looked at Qin Long and asked, hoping to get some useful news from him.

"All I know are the monsters and cosmic beings who are on the earth itself, or who have been to the earth before." Qin Long shook his head, expressing that there was nothing he could do.

"That's it!"

"The problem now is how to catch this guy." Zong Fang crossed his chest and thought.

"Yes, but the most important thing now is to rescue the missing people first." Ju Jianhui nodded, and then expressed her opinion.

Afterwards, she asked Ye Rui to project a map on the big screen, and many places on it had been marked with green dots.

"This is the area with the highest concentration of missing incidents in the past few days. From area P to area R, they are all within this range. They all occur from after dark to before dawn, but... "Ju Jianhui said that there was some hesitation here.

"They don't seem to only act in the dark." Dagu turned his head and said.

"They must have some kind of weakness, they can't move in broad daylight." Zong Fang thought calmly with his chin propped on one hand.

"Life that moves at night?" Lina asked in surprise.

Qin Long turned the pencil in his hand and said nothing, but he was very impressed in his heart.

As expected of the victorious team, they were able to deduce so many things with only the limited clues in their hands.

"I thought about it, as long as you catch the guy who is active at night and sleeps in during the day, isn't it all right?" Horii said suddenly at this moment, attracting everyone's attention.

"Now is not the time to joke." Ju Jianhui crossed his arms and cast a very cold glance.

"Understood." Horii immediately sat up straight, not daring to speak again.

The room suddenly fell into silence.

There are too few clues, and no one knows what to do.

Just when Zong Fang was about to strengthen the patrol in the densely-disappeared area, a voice suddenly sounded.

"I have an idea that might work."

"Consultant Qin, do you have any good ideas?" Horii immediately asked with wide-eyed eyes, but he had no idea at all!
"I noticed a strange thing." Qin Long propped his hands on the table and stood up slowly.

Under the light from above, the hair on his forehead suddenly cast a small shadow on his eyes.

"Ye Rui, call out the information of all the missing people." Qin Long turned his head to look at Ye Rui and said.

"Yes." Ye Rui nodded and began to operate.

Soon the big screen was filled with photos and messages of the missing.

"What did you notice?" Qin Long asked, scanning the entire audience.

Everyone turned their attention to the big screen, frowned and touched their chins, but they didn't see any flowers.

Is there something wrong?
Ju Jianhui looked at the dense information on the screen, crossed her slender green-white fingers, and then an idea flashed in her mind.

"These people are all men, and they are all people with good fighting skills, right?"

After Ju Jianhui finished speaking, she immediately turned her gaze to Qin Long, and immediately met that gaze full of approval.

"Yes, that's the point!"

The answer was announced, and the others clapped their thighs and sighed, why didn't they think of it just now? It was so obvious.

"Combined with the testimonies of previous witnesses, we know that the aliens in the universe specialize in arresting men who are in their prime of life and have good fighting skills. Although we don't understand why it did this, it undoubtedly gives us new ideas. Maybe we can play a play and then... lure the snake out of the hole!"

After Qin Long finished speaking, the command room was completely silent.

Then came scattered applause.

"Great!"

"Consultant Qin, sometimes I just want to crack open your little brain to see how the internal structure is different from ours. Why are you so smart?"

"Stop it, you are no match for Consultant Qin."

After a commotion, Qin Long's proposal was immediately approved.

The plan was to be implemented at night, and the location was set to be from area P to area R where missing persons are concentrated.

Participants Dagu and Xincheng.

There is also Qin Long who played a friendly role.

……

At dawn, the old woman got up and went to the living room.

The lights have been turned off.

The tea in the cup was already cold, so I didn't take a sip.

I just didn't see the foreigner in fancy clothes.

The old lady looked at the empty room, and there was no more popularity here.

She stood up, picked up the cold tea cup, and then opened the door frame.

"It looks like he's gone."

The golden morning light sprinkled from the sky and fell on the garden with green grass and flowers.

The old woman looked at the road outside the courtyard, trying to find the familiar red figure.

pity.

The streets are deserted and there is no one there.

She was obviously used to such an early morning, but the old woman was still a little bit reluctant after Raeder left.

Since the death of her husband, she hasn't had such a good chat with anyone for a long time.

"What does it matter if you don't understand the language? Why leave?"

Holding on to the wooden frame, the old woman murmured to herself, not knowing who to listen to.

……

noon.

In the convenience store, the sales girl was a little surprised when she saw the old woman's basket full of vegetables.

"You want to buy so much, grandma, do you want to entertain guests today?"

Grandma looked around, and then heard the sales lady's words.

"How can you eat alone? You should buy as much as usual!" the sales lady kindly reminded.

There was a kind smile on the old woman's face, and then she shook her head.

"No, I want to buy them all back."

Maybe the kid will come back tonight.

In that case, I must entertain him well.

After getting out of the convenience store, the old lady went to the park as usual.

She sprinkled bread crumbs on the ground, and a large group of pigeons came around and pecked at the bread crumbs on the ground.

There is a child in front of him who is also spreading bread crumbs. The woman next to him seems to be his mother, leaning over and saying something with a smile.

At the amusement facilities not far away, adults and children are playing around, and it is peaceful.

It's just that the excitement is theirs and has nothing to do with the old lady.

The scenes in front of her reminded her of her son.

Back then, I took him to the park to play in this way.

Qin Long put his hands in his pockets and happened to see the old woman's lonely back with a flock of pigeons flying in front of her.

He who never backed down from Griza showed complicated eyes for the first time.

This episode left a profound impact on him in his childhood.

When I was a child, I didn't think so much about it, but when I grew up, I felt differently when I watched it.

The seemingly warm interaction between Raeder and the old lady actually reflects the cruel social reality.

That is Neon’s serious problem of lonely elderly people.

During the heyday of the neon economy, the masses of neon were proud and complacent, and began to seek enjoyment.

There are even scenes of taking taxis with 80-yen bills on the streets of Tokyo (the yen in the [-]s is not the same concept as it is today).

But after the Plaza Accord, the neon lights were put together, and the complete collapse of the entire economy brought serious social problems.

Neon After the bubble economy in the 90s, many people had high debts that they could no longer repay due to excessive consumption.

Countless people lost their jobs and went bankrupt, causing many to commit suicide.

Qin Long remembered that the old woman had a son, but...

Her son has died!
If it is necessary to implement the background of this episode reflecting social problems, Qin Long is more willing to attribute the death of his mother-in-law and son to the cause of the bubble economy era.

During the 96 filming of Tiga, social problems became more and more serious.

Although Tiga's background is hopeful and set in the early 21st century, the segments in the play still reflect many serious social issues.

The lonely old man and the hopeless young man were all serious social problems that existed in the social reality at that time.

Population aging is one of the most serious social problems of Neon (and many countries) at present.

Because of their introverted personality, most of the old people who can be seen on the street are loners.

Statistics show that the number of elderly people over 65 years old in Neon has reached nearly 3000 million, of which 600 million live alone.

There is even a phenomenon of 'die alone' in neon.

Under the trend of this phenomenon becoming more and more serious, Nihong began to set up a professional "corpse removal" company, which specializes in cleaning up the elderly who died of loneliness.

After the cleanup is complete, workers place incense and candles where the body lay.

They also place photographs of the deceased where the head had been.

After the landlord finds the elderly who died alone, they will call the 'body removal' company and pay high fees to let them clean up the bodies of these lonely dead occupants.

These people are often forgotten by their families.

These dead, forgotten by their families, don't even have funerals.

Their remains were all buried in unmarked graves.

You must know that death is not a moment, it may be an accidental fall or a sudden illness.

Qin Long really couldn't imagine how those old people died in pain in their empty homes, and how lonely they were.

Caring for the empty-nesters is definitely not empty words in public service advertisements.

This is exactly what the strong humanistic care in "Tiga" wants to convey.

A good work must give reality a certain amount of energy.

Probably tired from squatting, the old woman slowly stood up with the vegetables, but her eyes were dull.

She left, but the purpose was not her own home, but the bridge.

Qin Long was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.
