Chapter 30: Targeting the East
Originally, the outer wall of the Special Investigation Bureau headquarters was not very beautiful, after being burned by the fire overnight, now it is even more dark and difficult to see the extreme. A dozen or so cleaners stood breathlessly on the hanging boards to wash the blackened walls, cursing their unscrupulous bosses in low voices: "Can't the small cleaning robots be used? What do you mean there's no energy left and we have to use manpower to clean it? Could it be that the money we earn for the company every day is not even enough to purchase the price of energy?"
Energy, energy again.
Reinhardt shook his head, pushed open the revolving door of the headquarters lobby, and walked in. Yesterday, at Luis' place, he had heard that black streets like theirs had simply been stopped from being supplied with electricity because of the overall lack of energy supply. And today, hearing the cleaner complaining about his boss' pettiness, this world, indeed, was becoming more and more baffling to Reinhardt.
He even regretted a little bit why, back in the God's Nest, he had learned all about ancient history, and hadn't insisted on requesting Merlin to lecture him on what society was really like nowadays. It was only when he came to this earth that he suddenly realized that there were actually a lot of things that he still didn't understand.
After a thorough security check, Reinhardt arrived at the door of K's office, and then immediately heard 0052's loud complaints coming from behind the hidden door of the room: ''Oh my god, that damned Chinatown's boss, I can really see him in the flesh this time around, but that damned guy, I actually have no way to move him! I tried to raid his store, but several chambers of the upper and lower house as well as the two vice-speakers actually happened to be inside having dinner!"
K banged the table hard and questioned loudly, "Are you kidding me? How do those guys have the guts to dine in that place? However, maybe they have some private dealings, have you memorized the list of those councilors? When the time comes, submit a copy to the Ministry of the Interior and one to the Independent Commission Against Corruption as well....... Well, what do you mean, why can't you move him?"
0052 cursed loudly, "Damn it, for the first time, I learned that the owner of Chinatown, their family is actually a hereditary noble of the kingdom, he even holds the title of Marquis! And their family, they actually have hereditary titles in several countries in Europe, and all of them are ancient titles that have been passed down since the era of the Great Destruction. According to our laws, until we have proof of a noble's exact crime, we don't even have the power to summon him to cooperate with the investigation."
He grunted through clenched teeth, "I wanted to scare him a bit so that he would shut up and not cause trouble for us in the newspaper, but who knows that I was taught a hard lesson by him. What's even more unlucky is that I was actually blocked by a reporting team of twenty-nine media outlets on my way out the door, and my picture will definitely be on the headlines tomorrow!"
K screamed, "Damn you David James, you bastard, who told you to move that son of a bitch? You don't know how influential he is in London, why did you touch him? Why did you do it, huh? You're trying to give me a hard time, aren't you? Oh, God, let the lovely Mr. David get hit by a car today! Get out of here. Don't you think we're in enough trouble? The councillors are easy enough to deal with, a secret intimidation will shut them up, but the journalists, those journalists."

Her voice suddenly turned extremely hot and cold: "I know what charges the reporters will put under my head. Whether, 0052, you find your monitoring system has no very small loopholes, you actually do not know the boss of China Town, their families have no title, well, you yourself whether the Kingdom of the count, can you actually in the aristocratic **** outside have not heard of such a nobleman ...... suspicious ah, worthy of suspicion ah. " Suddenly, she asked hotly, "I will not have a reason to run to provoke him, why?"
Reinhardt quietly stood in the doorway of the room, listening to 0052 explaining there in a low voice, "Oh, no reason, just a method of elimination. With the recent events, I always felt that those criminals wouldn't be able to plan such a big scheme so easily without a powerful force as a cover. So, I made contact with all the forces in the City of London that we could touch and whose potential was unknown. Oh, from Chinatown to that China House where the food is delicious, and from China House to Black Devil Company, which is claimed to be the largest security company in Europe, I investigated them all once."
As if interest was brought up to go, K's tone became extremely gentle, "Oh, so what did I find out? I think, is it possible that one of these forces is providing protection to those criminal collabs? My thinking is not correct, in the past of the crime ensemble, no matter how weak their weak force, want to retreat in London so small quiet work, are not possible not to leave any trace of it. Only in London on the day of certain forces on the distribution, they can be so heavy tight to get it. I found what is wrong with the sky side?"
After a long silence, 0052 sighed dismally, "Oh, God. I got kicked out after being lectured by that boss of China Town along with a large group of councilors, and then a group of reporters arrived immediately."
"You were attentively received by the boss of China House, and the members of the three secret agent groups brought here were invited to the outside of the building one by one, and before enjoying the exquisite culinary skills of their special chef, you got a 20% discounted VIP card, and you were just welcomed out of the building....... Well, the members of the three secret agent groups, none of the halves of the members of the three secret agent groups, were intoxicated by alcohol , nowadays partial in the hospital rescue."
"Black Devil Security Company ...... Well, quite frankly, I didn't go in, because just as we approached the gate, a large number of purebred Chinese Tibetan mastiffs and other giant dogs surrounded us, and we didn't dare to approach at all. This damn security company, claimed to be the biggest in Europe, but their headquarters, actually did not have any electronic facilities for contact! We were surrounded by that group of crazy dogs for ten minutes, actually no one came out to check, so we could only drive back."
Rheinhardt moved to push off the door of the room, quickly walked back.K saw Rheinhardt, nodded heavily, then before harshly accusing 0052: "So, do I have something to say? The living 0052, if I can investigate certain things, you can take the blame for me, with the name of the Bureau of Investigation against the attack of those journalists. But since I don't have any information, I'll take the blame myself! You will explain to the private public that it was entirely not because of my own reasons that I came to Chinatown to harass a kingdom's nobles!"
0052 spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and lamented, "Ah, this world, ah, it's getting harder and harder to mix with life. Lord Director, don't you think that this is too unkind? How much do I get paid each month, but I have to do so much work, I even have to function as a nanny to take care of that cute little Reinhardt child for you. Oh come on, now that I've gone and messed with some powerful assholes for the sake of the case, you're actually abandoning me mercilessly."
K's face closed down with an odd expression, and a small smile faded under his face as he greeted towards Reinhardt, "Ah, your big Reinhardt friend, is there nothing I can do about it?"
Jerking his head back, 0052's neck even let out a 'rattling' sound as he looked at the placid-faced Reinhardt with a bit of embarrassment and laughed out loud, "Ah, Reinhardt, how could you suddenly appear behind me? I'm the Bureau's most capable agent, how could I not hear your footsteps? Ah, how can we have such a thick carpet in our Director's office? This will make people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption complain that our Bureau is corrupt! Ah, that's a very bad thing."
He smiled and greeted towards Reinhardt, then waved towards K and said in a biased manner, "You'll continue to come to investigate the case now."
His face grew serious as 0052 said very seriously, "Chief, please send someone to keep an eye out. I have a feeling that the case related to the attack on our headquarters has nothing to do with the dark forces, and it should be completely unrelated. However, the matter of Andrewson, well, if, I will send select capable agents to pursue this matter, but how much of the Bureau's pension is left for this year?"
Shaking his head, full of emotion, 0052 tapped Reinhardt on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We did a good job of finding the right way to do things yesterday night. Can, if we want to come to the new western capital, you give us a suggestion, the worst to be big heart big heart again big heart. You will give Farrow and the others that as long as there is no wrong Tianfang, immediately escape, and can even abandon me, the leader of the group who leads the team to escape."
He was filled with a sinister smile, "Lord Reinhardt, you are surrounded by Divine Court experts who secretly protect you, my subordinates, they don't have that kind of favorable treatment ah! So if I let them escape in case of danger, you won't object, right? You know, our Special Investigation Bureau's annual pension is always overspent, and the cabinet side is already very critical of us, so, haha, I'll leave first." He turned back towards K and said, "Director, it's the same old saying, it's the people and things we can't see through and grasp that are the most dangerous."
Saluting, 0052 took small steps out.
It was then that Reinhardt opened his mouth and said to K, "Well, Mr. David is indeed very capable, he actually grasped our actions last night?"
K gave Reinhardt a deep look and sighed, "Oh, that's right, if you didn't know that I came to see Louis last night, then is there any need for your Bureau to be here? Of course, I can rest assured that there is no question of my side of Farrow and the others reporting back to you."
Snapping his fingertips deftly across the desk a few times, K lifted his coffee cup and warned, "But Reinhardt, Louis, and a few other London gang leaders, they're definitely not going to be charitable fellows, and anyone with a soft heart was swallowed up a long time ago. Don't think everything is safe just because he's being kind to you guys."
She laughed hotly as she went, "We thought that Louis faking it so heavily and tightly would let us see him? Wrong, little mistake. Inside that collection room of his, there are at least fifty computer-operated low-energy weapons, as long as we show the slightest bit of hostility, we will be turned into ashes immediately. And that connector he introduced us to in search of in New Sikyong, to tell you the truth, you guys didn't expect us to be able to get in touch with someone from that organization so heavily and tightly."
Reinhardt was a bit puzzled as he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean, you guys don't know him?"
Nodding his head very frankly and blackly, picking up his coffee and quickly sucking it back out of his mouth, K said vaguely, "That's right, you guys are familiar with the White Gang in London, and the White Gang in London is familiar with you guys. Therefore, if you do not show up, it is impossible to get any information from their mouths, and there is no way for you to pass their strange and weird tests to gain their trust. Can I, I am different. My way of doing things, I actually shot down an 'innocent' gang member so easily, that's something you guys can't do."
She sneered, looking at Reinhardt with a bit of admiration, "And, you actually went out and got a special credit card, which is a difficult condition for our Bureau of Investigation agents to meet, which allowed you to get that note without any problems. Although I'm sure that the connector won't be a big shot, however, you accomplished in just one night what even Andrewson took most of the year to achieve, I can't help but say, Reinhardt, you're ...... lucky."
Pointless uneasiness shook the stillness of his body for a moment, Reinhardt smiled bitterly, "And you thought that you would praise you for your great ability."
"Oh come now, Supreme God above, by what power of yours did you get that information? Blatantly shooting people downtown without any trial? All that can be said is that you're very, very lucky, so lucky that I'm a little jealous." K struck Reinhardt's confidence unmercifully, "However, your luck doesn't guarantee that you'll make it back to London alive from Neo-Tokyo! So, I'm approving your application and giving you a portion of the funds to lead Farrow and the others to Japan, but you have to promise that you'll bring them back in one piece."
Taken aback once more, Reinhardt asked in surprise, "You know what you're going for?"
Heavily placing his coffee cup on the desk, K sighed, "If I know what you did last night and I still can't guess what you came to see me for today, then I don't need to be the Director of this Bureau of Investigation anymore. Go to the finance office, at least today you belong to our Special Investigation Bureau in terms of establishment, and I'll give you a special grant to go to New Tokyo."
She laughed heavily, "Although, I'm pretty broke, could that money be a bribe from Bishop Hyde? You, the Bureau, wouldn't touch funds like that, it's not your, K, personal principle."
Nodding his head, Reinhardt walked out without further ado.
Before reaching the door, K suddenly called out to him, "Reinhardt, as an elder, you want me to remember one thing: I shot that Good Stick, you can pretend that you don't know about it, that kind of garbage, being cleaned up is not a contribution to society. Can I, in the new Xijing, I have to be big-hearted, must be very big-hearted! Maybe an inconspicuous sky ruffian under the small street, just no a lowly blood member, I absolutely don't want to make that kind of thing go again."
After pondering for a while, seeing that Reinhardt slowly turned his body, K slowly said, "I at the same time hope ...... I know that within your Divine Court, you call yourselves the Higher Powers, and all the other humans, they are the Lower Powers. To you higher beings, human life, is something dispensable. But I hope you can understand that any life is equal, and you should not easily take away the lives of other creatures. It wouldn't be fair to them, or to you, for that matter."
The boy cocked his head roughly in thought for a long, long time before Reinhardt nodded heavily, "Bias as you say, you would have been big-hearted before. Well, at the very least, you would have given them the chance to explain, and would have let them know in the clear black, why you wanted to kill them." Before bowing slightly, Reinhardt said in a high, deep voice, "All for the glory of God." Turning around, he walked out.
Reinhardt's villa.
Small steps backed up the living room, Reinhardt looked at the silent sitting there outside, accepting Farrow and other four rounds of verbal questioning but did not say a word Lisa and Lina, nodded his head, claimed the voice said, "We two, previously cleaned the room for you. When your little synopsis goes away for a few months, you'll leave us with a sum of money, and we'll take bad care of ourselves in the meantime."
After a pause, Reinhardt then said, "On the way back, I went to a public school and logged you in. Farrow, take them to report later, at their age, they should be learning something in school, not wasting their time on the streets."
After a long time, Reinhardt added, "On your hands, no waste." Lisa, Lina's body shook violently, even leisurely stood up to go, towards Reinhardt deeply bowed up, outside the eyes have been full of whether tears.
008 looked at the serious-looking Reinhardt, and asked him in the same cold tone, "So, chief, when do we leave."
Reinhardt looked at the sun hanging low over the ground and said thickly, "When Farrow goes back, we'll leave. Adam, I'll book the airfare. Kerwes, this is whether the Bureau of Investigation to prepare for you to the amount of Li's identification, I put the information on it.008, I ...... forget it, just do what I do. Farrow, quiet work slower, welcome Lisa they come to report, then before immediately go back."
Farrow they nodded and immediately acted nervously.
