【Summer Five】Iron City Wall

"It's done." Wu Tiao said, "It's enough to find these, and it depends on the skill of the Supervision Department whether it can be compiled into effective evidence."

With one leap, he jumped off the bookshelf lightly and delicately, landing without making any sound, like a real cat.Xia You continued to browse the audio files, Wutiao checked the room one last time, and confirmed that the files listed as secrets had nothing to do with the samples.

"I've always wanted to ask." Xia You said at this moment, "Which sample are you looking for? It's the extract injected by that Polygonum cuspidatum Yuren..." Before he could finish speaking, Wutiao explained quickly : "The thing on Youren's body is not that simple. I have asked another trustworthy person to help investigate. This time I am looking for the drug injected by his opponent at that time. We have seen many similar cases before, and we have not been able to lock the target. Until This time, the clues connect all the doubts in the past——I once got a proposal disclosed by an informant, which contained the clinical report of this prohibited drug."

The mouth is talking, but the action is not slow at all.Wujo turned on the global spectrum detector, put the cat's eye-like device on the chandelier in the center of the room, and clicked the remote control.Accompanied by a subtle "buzz", the scanner provides detection signals to a room with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, and transmits all the feedback data to the tactical eyepiece.

With an unobstructed view, Wujo inspected the entire house again, but did not find any material related to the topic.So he changed his mind and started with the documents of the Brown family mentioned by Xia You, and found several paper files in the safe without any surprise.

"Do you know the House of Lords?" he asked slyly.

Xia You was helping him open the safe, when he heard this question suddenly, he thought about it: "What answer do you want to hear?"

"Is it necessary?" Wutiao uploaded the few documents to the cloud library with a portable scanner, and finally his mood sank again, "If you don't want to, just say it."

He put down the file neatly, reached out to recall the detector, and made a final confirmation.Taking advantage of the gap, Xia You said: "It is nothing more than a parliament composed of old aristocrats. It controls the actual legislative, judicial and financial powers. It is the highest decision-making center of the Iron City Wall—and the culprit that leads to all kinds of corruption."

The terminal issued a notification tone for receiving a text message, and Wutiao called up the interface to check, "It is undeniable. This place is not a private office, but the old guys are gangsters, and they have as many connections in private as the roots of a banyan tree. All decisions are for themselves. , not much different from a dictatorship.”

It is the message of Yi Gu.It says that the banquet is coming to an end, remind Wujo to leave as soon as possible.

"Planning the route." Xia You said, typing on the keyboard to answer five words, "So you found out about the Brown family's flaws during this trip, and you think it's worth it?"

The gate opened, Wujo changed into Dieter's appearance again, crossed two gates, and greeted the guards in a dignified way.He didn't speak for a while, until he completely left the third floor, and only when he changed his camouflage camouflage, he said, "To be honest, who in the House of Lords is not dirty? Someone has already raised countless motions, but the old guys will always have their own immunity." Dead gold."

"You said the right of veto and the right of pardon." Xia You continued, "Turn left ahead."

Turning the corner, the banquet hall comes into view again.Wutiao entered through the side door as usual, searched for Yi Gu's location, and found him among a group of cadres who pushed each other for wine. "Yes, and most of the members of the House of Commons are representatives from various districts, and they have no prestige in front of the 'old aristocrats' who really grasp the situation. Even if a hundred people are mobilized to launch a resolution, it can only be easily rejected by a few votes."

Entering the crowd, he stopped talking, leaving Xia You to speculate alone.

What exactly does Satoru want to do?Xia You couldn't figure it out for a while.

Wu Tiao grew up in the favor of the House of Lords, holding the most concentrated power since the Golden Age, but he is not as wanton and free as he seems.At least as far as politics is concerned, the inherent system of the Iron City Wall has set too many constraints, such as the old and decadent noble families, and the black industries in the hands of these high-ranking people that make the people miserable.

This is also the reason for urging Xiayou to launch an uprising-hoping that as many people as possible realize that they are in the injustice, rather than just get away with it.

Just like the few files lying in Liu's office.Perhaps his original intention of getting this information from other chambers of commerce was just to leave a way out for himself, but the Brown family is just the tip of the iceberg of the power flow of the House of Lords—how many of the banned drugs that are continuously exported to the black market are insignificant? What about the backing?

In the banquet hall, Yi Gu held the wine cup with ease, chatted and laughed with his "colleagues", and answered the topics skillfully without blinking.As a newcomer of the Jielian Gang, he naturally received more attention. There were a number of people who came to toast and another group left, and everyone wanted to join in and say something nice.

"The night is getting dark, and it's time for the magpies to return to their nests." Among the crowd, an ordinary-looking man squeezed in, winked playfully at Yi Gu, and raised his glass, "To the spring."

A smile slipped from his lips, Yi Gu raised his eyebrows and raised his glass in return: "To the spring."

In another second, the man was gone.Yi Gu put down the wine cup, brushed away the crowd in the name of relaxation, and walked all the way up the deck, only to see Wutiao on the right side of the ship's side.

"Have you found anything?" He asked excitedly.Wutiao said: "Yes—unexpected, but it's a good thing."

The two looked at each other briefly, and both laughed softly.The young man in a navy blue mandarin jacket clenched his fists quietly, and suddenly felt that the wine churning in his stomach was not so uncomfortable.

On the other end of the earphone, Xia You fiddled with the pendant on the display screen, and said, "The fishing boat has arrived, please leave as soon as possible."

Using the cover of the twilight, the two overturned the flower boat and landed firmly on the small boat driven by Hui Yuan.Before he had time to say hello, Huiyuan immediately pulled the motor, drove the fishing boat away from the range of the Jielian gang, and rode the wind and waves forward.

After all, Wutiao sneaked into the flower boat as an unregistered person, and if you check afterwards, you will never find anything; All information about the member to prevent being traced.After the task is completed, Walden's hidden firewall will restore the data and allow the members to return to the team safely.

The sound of the wind splitting the night sky, Wutiao closed his eyes and sorted out the information collected tonight, and packed and encrypted the parts related to the Brown family’s contraband first, stored one copy in Ye Xiaoyun’s file, kept one copy locally, and sent another copy to Qihai ——The Supervision Department will start work immediately after receiving the data packet, and extract and process the part that can be converted into factual evidence for use as a reserve.

He sat upright, Xiayou's breath wrapped in the sound of electric current was heard by his ears.

The canal was violently stormy, Yi Gu and Hui Yuan chatted a few words from time to time, but Wu Tiao could only hear one person's voice.The brain running at high speed felt a little tired, but keenly caught the sound of Xia You gently tapping the table; he seemed to be close at hand, and the breath of pines and incense permeated his ankles, anchoring all hesitation like a pinnacle.

"Hui Yuan, is it Jie you took the initiative to find?" Wu Tiao asked.

Huiyuan turned the helm, "Professor Xia You——was recommended by Dr. Reka. Speaking of which, why have I never heard of such an old friend of yours? He is so powerful that he is almost second-to-none in the military department in terms of technical strength." Above people, in terms of character and patience, he is much better than some bosses in the underworld."

"Oh, your bonus is gone." A certain underworld boss laughed.

With Huiyuan begging for mercy, the canal slowed down, and the lights in a district came out of the night fog.

The city was shining against the dark background, and Yi Gu was stunned for a moment.He looked at the scenery that he had not seen for a long time, his eyes finally relaxed slowly, the high wall as solid as ice was melted by the lively voices, revealing the vitality that the boy should have.Leaving aside the chill and coldness of being an undercover agent for half a year, he finally laughed like a 16-year-old young man, making the original handsome and melancholy boy sprout.

"Thanks for your hard work." Wutiao said, reaching out to rub the boy's head, "You guys have done a great job this time, regardless of whether you can succeed or not, I will definitely choose a better rank for you."

When the boat docked, Yi Gu knew that he had been comforted, so he nodded with a smile, "I don't ask for so much. If the instructor really has the heart, why don't you let me participate in the next operation."

They handed over to the garrison and boarded the special car back to Ye Xiao's base.The bustling lights fly by outside the car window, stretched into a flickering depth of field by the high-speed vehicles, like the evening wind tied in a rope.The axle was very low, Gojo huddled so as not to let his head touch the roof of the car, and his tone was dull, "Next time we will go to Yamamoto, are you so worried about Satoshi?"

"Worried." Yi Gu did not hesitate, "It's not that she doesn't trust her ability, but I just heard some rumors from the Jielian Gang recently, saying that during this period of time, there has been a lot of personnel turnover in various chambers of commerce, and behind the scenes there are several untouchables. The funder—Dieter specifically named a few senior members of the House of Lords, and what he said sounded plausible, but I don’t know if it’s groundless.”

Gradually away from the urban area, the noise of the main road disappeared, and the world became much cleaner.Wu Tiao simply leaned over and put down the back of the co-pilot's seat, crossed his legs, and finally stretched out.He didn't speak, and listened to Xia You moving things on the other end of the headset, said shortly "someone is coming" and hung up the communication.

"Okay, anyway, I didn't get this done so quickly." Wutiao curled his lips, very dissatisfied with the "Zi" sound of cutting off the signal in the earphone, "Youtai should take a good rest and call you when the time comes."

As soon as these words came out, Yi Gu immediately smiled, nodded and thanked the instructor several times.Seeing his attitude of asking his girlfriend not to take a vacation, Wutiao just wanted to interrupt and tease a few words, when the terminal rang suddenly.

He clicked on the screen, and at the top of the display interface was a circular torch badge.The overview column is in exquisite and neat italics, and the letters fly upwards in different patterns, creating a sense of reverence.

Isn't it... Wujo thought to himself, is it time for the sacrificial ceremony again so soon?

The page unlocked, and an email from Lucian Nelson popped up, occupying the entire screen.The font is beautiful, and such a long paragraph next to each other will only make people sick physically - at least five of them, and immediately shut down the terminal in disgust.

Sacrifice ceremonies are held in different districts in turn, and every five years, it happens to be alternated in one district.This is the most private and highest-level event of the Torch Club. If it is held in a district, even the Pope must attend.Members of the bishop and above can bring a family member with them. Wujo and the thirteen seats will definitely compete to appear on the stage with the most beautiful vases in their hands, and compete for splendor as if opening their screens in front of the so-called "gods".

But what is the core essence of this ceremony, the lucky participants are clear.This is doctrine, faith and glory, so no one dares to disobey it; but the five principles have always been deviant.

Really boring.He smacked his lips, his brain was a little tired after working all night.

"Two officers, the base is here." The driver said respectfully.

Wujo opened his eyes and saw that they had parked on the other side of the island in the middle of the lake, and when they got off the bus, there was a well-prepared glass trestle bridge.Yi Gu waited quietly, followed when the instructor pushed the door, bid farewell to the driver, and walked onto the bridge that was as clear as a handicraft.

At this time, the sky in the east has begun to fade faintly, and the light golden glow climbs to the horizon, stretching inextricably close to the clouds.Wujo walked before Yigu, set foot on the island in the middle of the lake, and met an unexpected person at the gate of the garden.

"Are you back?" Xia You leaned against the fence, her black hair was tied up, and her eyebrows and eyes were particularly plain.Two buttons of his shirt were undone, and the sharp and straight neckline was looming, rolled over by sweat droplets, revealing a layer of moist water.

Wutiao raised his eyebrows, his heart beat a few beats faster.It seems that Jie shouldn't appear here, but it is too harmonious, like an illusion brought by the morning sun and morning light.

"Are you interested in—" An invitation blurted out, "Come with me to the banquet of rebelling against the gods?"
