Chapter 1468 The latest news about Rum(1/2)
Originally, the safe deposit box business of this bank was not expensive, so Akai Mutake signed a five-year contract in one go.
However, because Akai Mutake has been in arrears for 12 years, plus late fees, the total has exceeded three times the original amount.
There was no other way, Qin Zhibo could only bleed money into his wallet and make up for these expenses.
At first, Akai Mutake considered that he might have an unexpected situation or even die, which would prevent him from taking out the contents himself.
Therefore, the safe does not simply use the traditional key or fingerprint unlocking mode, but also designates the person to open the box.
Only the person designated at the beginning can be present and authenticated before the safe can be opened.
The person designated by Akai Mutake is himself, or his wife Akai Mari.
In addition, the key that he got after handling the safe was disposed of immediately after Akai Muwu left the bank, so Qin Zhibo paid an additional $300 for the breakage fee.
After all the procedures were completed, the bank staff broke open the safe in front of the two of them.
This so-called "safe" is not big, it is actually just a rectangular box 25cm long.
Inside the broken box was a palm-sized brown paper bag.
Akaimu opened the paper bag, glanced at the contents, and then nodded to Qin Zhibo.
Photos, got it!
The two quickly returned to the hotel with the photos, closed the curtains, and studied the contents of the photos one by one.
In the photos, most of them are scientists carrying out research work, and they are characterized by wearing white coats.
In addition, there are some people wearing tight black clothing performing various physical fitness tests in a wide venue.
Akai Mutake pointed at the people in the photo and said: "They are those 'monster' human beings. Their physical fitness in the laboratory has far exceeded the limits of world-class athletes."
In the photos, some of these men in black jumped more than 2 meters on the spot, and some had fist strength tests exceeding 700 pounds.
If these people were put outside, none of them would be able to easily break some world record.
During Akai Mutake's search on the ship, there were many new "monster" humans, and at least 20 of them were discovered.
Combining the information revealed in Curacao, Qin Zhibo determined that what was captured in the photo was the "New Potential Laboratory" from 17 years ago.
This laboratory is dedicated to cultivating new humans.
But Curacao also said that although targets can often gain super physical strength, most of them are unstable, incomplete, and have no practical value to the organization.
If you look at this photo, the organization probably adopts a method of raising monsters to select the best talents from these "monsters".
People like Curacao should be the "perfect agents" finally selected. They are the top beings among human beings in terms of both mental and physical strength.
And losers like Miichiro Numabuchi can only be reduced to consumables for other experiments.
Although from the perspective of ordinary people, someone like Miichiro Numabuchi is not perfect, but he should be a great weapon among the grassroots operatives of the organization.
But the purpose of this experiment is to screen out the most perfect agents. If there is no cruel elimination mechanism, then all the screening will be meaningless.
Some people may have the idea of taking advantage of the situation and directly sneak into the grassroots members to become a "salary thief".
For them, being able to survive is the greatest gift.
By the way, the motivation for organizational cadres should not be based on salary, five insurances and one housing fund, right?
"Most of these people who were used for experiments have probably been eliminated..."
"But there should still be quite a few of these scientists today."
After all, these scientists are valuable assets that the organization has worked hard to recruit from all over the world or cultivate personally.
Therefore, science is the primary productive force.
Qin Zhibo was browsing a photo and saw a somewhat familiar face at the edge of one of the photos.
It was an operating bed, and a man in black tights was receiving an injection of some kind of green liquid.
On the other side of the operating bed, a female scientist wearing glasses held a form in her hand and was lowering her head to record something.
Qin Zhibo squinted his eyes slightly, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
Isn’t this Elena Miyano?
Akai Muwu also noticed the change in Qin Zhibo's eyes, stared at the photo, and asked: "What? Do you know the person in the photo?"
"Um."
Qin Zhibo nodded and pointed at the girl with glasses in the photo.
"This person's name is Elena Miyano, but before she got married, her name was Elena Sera."
"Sera..."
Akai Mutake's eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled his wife's previous surname in his mind.
"I remembered, Elena seems to be Mary's sister, right?"
"Mary occasionally mentioned to me that her younger sister left the UK with a Japanese student when she was in college. She rarely contacted her family after that."
"I didn't expect that she was actually in the organization?"
There was a trace of surprise in Akai Muwu's eyes.
Qin Zhibo did not give a specific explanation. Akai Muwu could find out about these things from Mary after returning home.
Buzz——
At this moment, Qin Zhibo's phone rang.
I looked at the caller number and it was an unknown number.
But when I picked up the call, I discovered that it was Toru Amuro calling.
Qin Zhibo had previously asked Bourbon and Keir to inquire about Haihara Ai's situation within the organization, and they probably had clues.
But when Qin Zhibo asked, Toru Amuro gave a negative answer.
"That's not the case..."
"It's Curacao. She suddenly contacted me and sent me the latest information."
"The organization's second-in-command, Rum, seems to have fallen..."
Qin Zhibo looked slightly startled and repeated in disbelief.
“Rum is down?”
"What exactly does this mean?"
On the other side, Toru Amuro also had a slightly shocked expression, because he had just received the information from Curacao.
"I don't know the specific situation, but Curacao said that someone within the organization is currently taking over Rum's sphere of influence."
"And Rum himself seems to have disappeared..."
Rum disappears?
Is this a smoke bomb released by the organization?
Qin Zhibo thought for two seconds and thought it was impossible.
Because such smoke bombs seem to have no impact on the red side except for causing instability within the organization.
If this is the case, something big is probably happening within the organization.
Does this have something to do with Haihara Ai being arrested?
"I know, I will rush back to Japan as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo and Akai Muwu looked at each other.
"Should we go to Japan immediately?" Akai Mutake asked.
Qin Zhibo nodded his head in confirmation.
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Because Rum's downfall, or loss of power, must be related to major decisions within the organization.
In other words, the fact that the second-in-command of the organization, who had been involved in the organization for many years, could be brought down so easily was at least the intention of the organization's boss Renya Karasuma.
And when Rum was "pulled out of his feathers", a person of this level would definitely not just surrender and be captured.
Maybe he will do something crazy...
…
In Japan, on the road to Gunma Prefecture, a white Toyota Crown was passing by.
In the passenger seat of the car, Mao Lilan yawned, drooped his eyelids, and looked listless.
Mouri Kogoro, who was driving next to him, glanced at his daughter and lectured somewhat unhappily.
"Hey, hey, I saw you were idle and had nothing to do even though you were on summer vacation, so I brought you out for a ride."
"Are you actually yawning?"
Mao Lilan's tone did not give in at all, and she accused Mao Li Kogoro.
