If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

A few minutes later, Ryoichi came back with an umbrella. He opened the car door and sat in. He said, "Someone was trying to jump off the overpass in front. The traffic police stopped the traffic in front. Now a psychologist is being sent over to prepare for guidance. Look. It will take a while to get up, so we can just take a detour and go somewhere else.”

"Jump off the bridge?" Lu Mingfei lowered the window and looked outside. He looked up hard. In addition to being slapped with rain on his face, he did see a figure standing on the viaduct in the distance and said quite unscrupulous words, "Falling from this height." Do you have to die? Isn’t it said that even if a Japanese commits suicide, it will not cause trouble to others?”

"You won't necessarily fall to death if you jump from the top, but you will be run over by passing vehicles, so the traffic police blocked the road ahead." Ryoichi's expression was not very good, probably because he did not expect to encounter such a thing.

"Is it an accident? Or..." Chu Zihang raised his head and asked.

"It must be an accident. This is not the first incident recently." Ryoichi said, "There have been quite a few people jumping off bridges and buildings recently. Most of them are because of gambling and drug money. Family members have been killed, social security has become chaotic, and there are all kinds of troubles. Things are happening one after another, and the Metropolitan Police Department is making trouble over the lack of police officers.”

"The situation in this city is indeed worse than before." Lin Nian said.

"After the official confrontation between the Menggui and our family, many things have lost control. The sale of drugs, guns, and various illegal crimes has begun to come to the forefront in large numbers, but to be honest, this only exposed the true situation in this country. Come out, actually it was similar before, it’s just these The bad things are well hidden, hidden away from our sight. But now they have taken off the fig leaf and put everything on the stage, so we feel that the situation is worse than before. In fact, it has always been the case. It's all bad." Liang Yi understood what Lin Nian was talking about and replied.

"What you said reminds me of the joke about Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater. The Japanese have always claimed that the discharge of nuclear wastewater from Fukushima will not affect marine resources. When asked why they dare to guarantee it, they replied that in fact, in the early years before the discharge was publicly prepared, They have been discharging it for a long time, and they have not seen you mutate for so many years, so it proves that drinking some nuclear wastewater will not kill anyone!" Caesar suddenly said humorously.

Okubo Ryoichi was noncommittal.

"How bad is the situation now? I want to hear the truth." Lin Nian asked.

Okubo Ryoichi was silent for a moment and then said, "We have completely lost control of the Kansai side. The Kanto branch also claimed at the last meeting that their situation was in danger. The control of the core radiation belt within the scope of our family is pretty good, but suddenly ghost The crowd is also constantly trying to break into our core area through various aspects - not traditional martial arts, but embezzlement and wrestling deeply rooted in the grassroots underworld and industries from all walks of life. The fierce ghost crowd has adjusted its strategy and prepared to start from the basic level. Let’s take action with our family.”

"It means that the fierce ghosts are no longer prepared to fight with bayonets on the battlefield, and have decided to fight a commercial war with you? Are they so progressive in their thinking?" Caesar understood what Okubo Ryoichi meant.

The Sheqi Eight Families, the true foundation of the Japanese underworld, lies in the control of gray and black industries in Japan, drawing power from the grassroots and consolidating the rule of the top. In the past, the fierce ghosts have continued to control the facilities, factories and jurisdiction of the Sheqi Eight Families. To attack the public security, in the eyes of the family heads and elders, it was just a child throwing a temper tantrum.

But this time, the fierce ghosts began to wield shovels from the foundation of the family, digging out the roots of the underworld royal family in this country. This was a real killer move that shook the foundation, and it was also a signal to start an endless war. But now it seems that the Sheqi Eight Family did not use the power of thunder to destroy the fierce ghosts, but were dragged into a protracted war by the opponent. This is a very unfavorable situation for the seemingly behemoth.

"The question is, can the fight be won? For so many years, the gray and black worlds in Japan have been controlled by the eight Sheqi families. Doesn't this mean that it can be pried, right?" Lin Nian asked with a frown.

"They have opened up the supply chain of a new type of drug called 'Bliss Water', which is concealed, highly addictive and difficult to produce. They have released the supply chain of the new type of drug to the Japanese underworld for free and promised not to do so in the future. Any withdrawal from this profit chain and how much they earn from it belong to themselves," said Ryoichi.

"Do you know why even Italy's old mafia is so taboo about 'drugs'?" Caesar looked at Lin Nian and suddenly raised such a question.

"Because he harms people? He is highly addictive?" Lu Mingfei from the side interrupted to answer.

"No, because the profits are high." Caesar said calmly, "The profits of drugs are really too high, which can easily lead to the upper levels of power losing control over the lower levels. After people at the grassroots level come into contact with drugs and understand the huge profits hidden in those things, There is a high probability that they will have thoughts that they shouldn't have, such as selling privately, going it alone, or starting a new business. Loss of control at the lower levels is the last thing a big force wants to see, which is why so many people keep secrets about drugs. "

"Not to mention that the Meng Ghosts are completely giving away profits to the bottom in this regard. They don't want to extract money or rebates. They just need those people to leave the Sheqi Eight Clan, recognize the Meng Ghosts as their sect masters, and give them money after changing their flags. They issue weapons to protect themselves, illegal drugs to resist their own law enforcers, and more drugs The purchase and sales channels gave them a taste of the sweetness and made them believe that the 'revolution' had begun. When the family intervened strongly and killed the chickens to scare the monkeys, the fierce ghosts began to distribute 'ladders' again, making the situation even more chaotic. During this period, they publicized their family's weakness and further set off a wave of resistance. "

Ryoichi said,

"Public security has deteriorated, drugs are rampant, guns are circulating, the number of illegal elements on the streets and the number of businesses and families affected by bankruptcy have begun to increase, and various illegal underground casinos have begun to promote unscrupulously. Originally, the eight Sheqi families had reached an agreement with Japanese political figures , these gray colors are And black industries will be developed where they should be, but the fierce ghosts ignored this rule and openly began to flood the city with these things, and the huge profits they made were returned to those with Sheqi without hesitation. Eight politicians have always been on the opposite side.”

"Can the Japanese government tolerate this?" Chu Zihang asked.

"What's interesting is that the current view of the Japanese political circles on the current situation is: This is a war in the underworld world. As the leader of the underworld, the Sheqi Eight Families must set an example and eradicate the fierce ghosts as soon as possible. This time The turmoil has calmed down - that's what it says, but it doesn't actually help us at all." Ryoichi said calmly, "They chose not to get involved on either side, and they will not invest any force of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Self-Defense Forces in it, because once this matter is made public, it means that there will be a 'riot' in Japan. This is a It gives international gangsters a good excuse to intervene, and the Japanese government does not want to see this happen."

"But are they willing to see the current situation continue to be so bad?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised.

Caesar understood what Ryoichi meant and said, "I understand. The Eight Sheqi Families and the Menggui Zhong are not important to the Japanese top management. As long as they can continue to squeeze out oil and water from both sides, no matter which side wins, It doesn't matter, even those who benefited hope to see this scene continue. As long as the war does not end, the donations from both sides will not stop. This can be regarded as the so-called development in peacetime. A war fortune?"

"Don't they care about the deterioration of public security in Tokyo and the decline in tourism?" Lu Mingfei thought it was a bit nonsense. He looked at the increasing number of homeless people on the streets and the dark figures appearing in various alleys and said in confusion, " Japan is a big tourist country, right? Can they accept the losses caused by the decline in tourism?”

"Lu Mingfei, you have to understand one thing." Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "The decline in tourism will hurt the Japanese economy. The downturn in the Japanese economy will be directly reflected on the people, and prices will become more expensive. Lower wages and fewer benefits are all the consequences for ordinary citizens at the bottom. This has nothing to do with the high-ranking officials above who take advantage. After all, even if the tourism industry is booming, they should still get whatever salary they deserve. Japan’s economy The situation is not directly related to whether their wallets are full or not.”

"In other words, the life and death of Japan doesn't have much to do with them, right? They just want to make a huge profit from the war between the Menggui Clan and the Sheqi Family?" Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.

"When you get rich, you can find a way to get a green card and go to the United States to live a good life. Who wouldn't want to do this kind of good thing? All they need to do now is to continue to condemn the rampant underworld in front of the people, while secretly enjoying the benefits given by the devil. , and put pressure on our family to resolve this matter as soon as possible," Liang Yi said.

He looked at Lin Nian, "The current war between the Sheqi Eight Family and the Menggui Clan cannot be resolved in one or two decisive battles. The current leader of the Menggui Clan is very smart. He has identified the bad roots of Japanese society. I have clearly seen the dark background of the eight Sheqi families that cannot be washed away, so Start from this aspect and use our strength to fight against us - we can break up one or two gangs that change their banners, but tomorrow there will be new gangs who can't help but be tempted to join their banners. Then this war will be prolonged indefinitely.”

"There is no final solution for the Sheqi family." Chu Zihang said, "Now you have been dragged into a puddle of mud. If you try to shake your fists, you will only sink yourself deeper."

"It may have happened earlier, but at that time, our family had been hesitating between war and forbearance. But now, we have lost the ability to make a final decision. Since the 'Emperor' joined the front of the Fierce Demons, everything has changed. out of control , the Bliss Water, the stairs, everything is caused by Him,” Ryoichi said, “Many people in our family believe that the way to solve this turmoil is to find Him and then find a way to deal with Him, or expel Him from Japan. Either.Kill Him."

"Killing Him is easy to say, but can it be done?" Lu Mingfei muttered quietly in the back row.

"As for the Emperor, my family should have learned a lot of information through you who participated in that hearing. Are they confident of dealing with the Emperor?" Lin Nian asked.

Liang Yi didn't speak. He held the steering wheel and fell silent. He looked at Lin Nian in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror and found that Lin Nian's expression was very dull. He looked sideways at the traces of rain sliding down the window outside.

After a moment, Ryoichi said softly, "They are going to send the head of the Uesugi family to use that authority to try to kill the emperor."

"What's the opinion of the head of the Uesugi family?" Lin Nian asked.

"The head of the Uesugi family has no objection, but the head of the Minamoto family has a strong objection. He believes that the risk is too high. However, whether this decision is passed or not will be decided at the meeting later."

Lin Nian said nothing more. He had no problem. Ryoichi also fell silent. Under the command of the traffic police, he turned the car around and changed lanes to find another way and drive towards Genji Heavy Industries.

Just after the car turned around, the noise of the crowd came from behind. Lu Mingfei looked back and found a shadow falling from a height and falling to the ground. However, it turned out that it was the crowd that was surrounding it. Covered.

When returning the same way, Lin Nian looked out the window and saw the homeless man holding a doomsday sign in front of the zebra crossing again. He didn't know why he stood in the heavy rain and laughed wildly, holding the sign and laughing so hard. The row of rotten yellow and black teeth was exposed. The head slowly turned in the direction of the vehicle watching them as it drove away. The dark eyes made people shudder.

ps: I thought Eri Yi would appear today, but it turns out it’s the next chapter, so it’ll probably be tomorrow.
