Chapter 588 - Gongqi Longjing.
Chapter 588: Gongqi Longjing.
After being in the air for more than three hours, Xiao Luo finally arrived at Tokyo, Japan.
It was already eleven o’clock in the middle of the night, but since Tokyo was one hour faster than the capital of China, it was now midnight. Even though it was midnight, Tokyo was like a city that never would never sleep—a glowing behemoth that was lying quietly on this land. The city was still shining bright like the Milky Way, giving off breathtaking beauty. This scene was what Xiao Luo saw from the window during the plane’s touchdown.
Influenced by Zhang Dashan, he felt that under these brilliant lights was dirt and darkness!
Inexplicably, even though he had been using Yi Jin Jing to alleviate the discomfort in his body, after flying for more than three hours, Xiao Luo still felt a little uncomfortable, and his mouth was secreting saliva non-stop. After getting off the plane, he was forced to spit some saliva in some paper towel, then he looked around for a trashcan to dispose of the paper towel.
As soon as he exited the passage, he saw a trash can, but as he threw the discarded paper towel, a breeze blew at the same time and dragged the paper towel with it. The paper towel missed the trash can and fell to the ground.
“Damn, Chinese people deliberately throw garbage anywhere. No class at all!”
A western couple with ‘big nose’ (proud, know-it-all), who was on the same flight as Xiao Luo, saw this scene. The husband immediately assumed the moral high ground and criticized Xiao Luo’s behavior.
Xiao Luo originally wanted to pick up the paper towel and throw it back into the trash can. But when he heard this, he gave up. Nonetheless, since he was abroad, his words and actions would represent China. He could not shame the face of his motherland, therefore he screamed, “あなたが何をしたか (What did you say)?!”
A pure Tokyo accent.
The western couple froze and suddenly realized, “It turns out that he is not Chinese, but Japanese!”
This was Japan, and naturally, the couple didn’t dare to criticize a Japanese in home country. They quickly walked away, but the impression of Japanese people in their hearts became extremely bad.
Xiao Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
At the exit of the airport, he saw a Japanese youth holding up a sign with the name “Xiao Han”. He walked over to the guy and stood in front of him, but the latter was still looking in all directions, apparently not recognizing him.
‘Is he blind?’
Xiao Luo was a little depressed. He went up, coughed then said Japanese, “Hello, I’m Xiao Han!”
The young man retrieved his gaze from searching for Xiao Luo, then he studied Xiao Luo with a serious expression. He then said excitedly and enthusiastically,”Hello Mr. Xiao Han, my name is Kimura Akino, a small patrol. I’ve specially come to meet you, please take care of me!”
He introduced himself and bowed at Xiao Luo, he was very respectful.
Xiao Luo frowned, “Shouldn’t it be Gongqi Longjing who’s picking me up?”
Ji Siying explained this to him before leaving for Japan. The police in China had already got in touch with the police in Tokyo, Japan, so he knew that a sergeant would meet him. And that sergeant was Gongqi Longjing.
Kimura Akino’s face showed embarrassment, “Erm, he has some stomach problems.”
“Oh…” Xiao Luo responded.
“Mr. Xiao Han, he told me to wait for him at the parking place after receiving you. Let’s go now.” Kimura Akino forced a laugh.
“OK!” Xiao Luo nodded.
”
”
“Mr. Xiao Han, let me help you with your luggage.”
“Ah, no thank you, there are not that many things, I will carry them myself.”
“Mr. Xiao Han, are you thirsty? I will buy you a bottle of water.”
“I’m not thirsty. You don’t have to be so polite.”
Kimura Akino was very enthusiastic. It made Xiao Luo somewhat confused about how to behave.
The airport’s parking lot was just outside. Kimura Akino led Xiao Luo to a black car. According to Kimura, this was Gongqi Longjing’s car. It looked ordinary in appearance, but it was internally modified (engine etc). It only needed eight seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred miles, and it was competent for a pursuit mission.
“How’s the case of Chinese people going missing doing? Is there any clue?” Xiao Luo didn’t bother to chit-chat with him and cut to the topic directly.
Kimura Akino nodded, “Yes. During the process of our investigation we discovered that five of the cases were all related to an unlicensed SUV. They were all taken away by that car. As long as we find that car, the case should be solved.”
“Then did you find it?” Xiao Luo asked.
Kimura Akino shook his head, “Still no leads, but Mr. Xiao Han, please rest assured that our Tokyo Police are sparing no effort to find it. I believe that there will be results in less than a week.”
“A week? By the time you would have the results, it would be too late. Those who have been kidnapped may have already been killed.” Xiao Luo said.
“Oh, you don’t trust our Tokyo Police!?” A harsh voice suddenly sounded at this time.
Xiao Luo turned around and saw a man between his 40s or 50s. He looked sloppy, dark-skinned, and pinched a cigarette between his fingers. Even at a distance, the pungent smell of smoke could be smelled wafting from his body.
Kimura Akino immediately introduced. “Mr. Xiao Han, this is Minister Longjing. Minister Longjing, this is Mr. Xiao Han from China.”
“Hello Xiao-san, welcome to Tokyo.” Gongqi Longjing held out his hand towards Xiao Luo with a smile on his face.
Xiao Luo looked at the former’s smoke-smelling hands, and his two rows of black and yellow teeth. Obviously, Longjing was a heavy smoker, but out of politeness, Xiao Luo still reached out and shook hands with him, “Hello!”
The reason why Gongqi Longjing called him Xiao-san was because it was a Japanese form of address—an honorific term.
“Get in the car, I’ll take you to where you’ll be staying.”
Gongqi Longjing didn’t say much. He just opened the door and got in. Compared with Kimura Mingye, his attitude towards Xiao Luo was very cold.
Xiao Luo didn’t say anything either. When Kimura opened the door of the front passenger seat, he got in and sat without hesitation.
While Gongqi Longjing was driving, still with a cigarette in his mouth, he started chattering.
“Xiao-san, your information says that your police rank is a first-class superintendent. Our power should be equal. It took me decades to get to such a position, but you already became a first-class superintendent at a young age. That is very commendable. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a talented policeman. It is no wonder that you were chosen to supervise and guide the investigation of the missing people.”
This made Xiao Luo very uncomfortable. What this Gongqi Longjing said was even more uncomfortable than the pungent smoky smell on his body.
“When this missing people case is over, I’ll announce my retirement and start a new life.” Gongqi Longjing continued.
His sloppy and improper attitude made Xiao Luo seriously doubt whether the Tokyo Police really paid attention to the missing people.
