Chapter 315 Interrogation
In the early morning, the guide received a call from Cui Jian. Cui Jian first apologized for calling so late, and the guide quickly said it was okay. Cui Jian told him to wait for him at a hotel near the security company tomorrow morning, and he needed him to take him to a place. The guide asked where to go, and Cui Jian replied that he would know when the time came.

The guide only answered the phone in the middle of the night, while Cui Jian checked out and returned to the hotel near the security company in the middle of the night. He called a business taxi, put the electric donkey in it, and took the taxi back to the security hotel.

"Brother Lao Huo."

"Yueyao? You're crazy. You don't allow private contact."

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Cui Jian immediately imagined the sneaky appearance of the Vulcan in his mind. Cui Jian said, "There are hellhounds protecting the communication."

"Let's contact each other privately."

"All the contacts have been made."

"Go ahead."

"I'm in a hotel. Can I make a bomb with the things in the hotel?"

"No."

"Good night."

"But you can make a not-very-good incendiary bomb, and with a cell phone, you can make a simple remote-controlled incendiary bomb."

"How to do it?"

"Do you think you can tell?"

"You can blah blah."

"Bala bala."

The next morning, Cui Jian and the guide had a buffet at the hotel. After getting in the car, Cui Jian took out a piece of paper with the word "Kyuushu Shrine" written on it in Japanese. The guide said he knew the place and it would take about two hours to drive there. After the car set off, the guide asked Cui Jian about the purpose of going to the shrine in a casual chat. Cui Jian vaguely explained that he was going to see an old friend, who was not a good person. Cui Jian then asked about some of the rules of the shrine.

There are more than 80,000 shrines in Japan, and there is an organization that manages the shrines, called the Shrine Headquarters. Its hierarchy is similar to that of the Catholic Church, ranging from the Pope to local priests, and these clergy enjoy similar treatment as civil servants. It is said that civil servants in Japan are not a popular profession, which is very different from South Korea.

The size of the shrine, the number of visitors, the position of the manager and the number of people vary greatly. Small town shrines like the Kuzu Shrine are considered the lowest-level shrines, usually managed by a chief priest. When there are festivals and holidays, either someone from above is sent down to preside over it, or the chief priest asks people in the town for help. For example, if you want to get married at a shrine, you can report it in advance, and the chief priest will contact the main office to send a person like the chief priest to preside over the wedding.

Cui Jian checked the information about the Jiutou Shrine on his phone. This is a shrine with only three tiled houses as the main body. The main hall, the residence of the chief priest on the left side of the main hall, and a room similar to a dressing room on the right side of the main hall. The three tiled houses surrounded an open space, which was the main venue for sacrifices and weddings.

Behind the main hall is a bamboo forest, which is called the Black and White Bamboo Forest by the locals. It is said that there was a Go master of the seventh dan in the town. He had an old rival of the ninth dan and lost to him for eight consecutive years. In the ninth year, the seventh dan defeated the ninth dan for the first time on the chessboard in the bamboo forest.

There is a stone table and two stone drums in the black and white bamboo forest. A Go board is carved on the stone table. It is said that it was the board used by the seventh dan to defeat the ninth dan decades ago.

Two hours later, the two arrived at the foot of the shrine. Cui Jian gave the guide two hundred dollars and invited him to go to the town for a cup of coffee. The guide guessed that the person Cui Jian wanted to meet might be a wanted criminal, so he readily took the dollars and drove to the town. He had to be quick. If he didn't accept the money, he would be worried about meeting a wanted criminal.

The guide drove away, and a man came down the steps. Cui Jian waited below and chatted with the other person using a translation app. This person was the chief priest of the shrine. The chief priest said that the Kuzu Shrine is completely open to the public during the day, and after 6 pm, under normal circumstances, no guests are welcome. Some shrines require payment to enter, but the Kuzu Shrine does not. When you arrive at the main hall, you can take incense and worship the gods. Whether to pay and how much to pay is up to the pilgrims themselves, but it does not support scanning codes.

Cui Jian asked a question: "Does the staircase have to be so high?" Looking up, it should be about the height of the 15th floor.

The priest smiled and explained that people who wanted to pay their respects would not be deterred by this short staircase.

Cui Jian imagined what Gong Si meant: I don’t know which idiot came up with this kind of step. It’s so tiring to go out.

Cui Jian watched the priest leave before walking up the stairs. He walked past the torii gate at the top of the stairs and turned around to look down at the fields, which was a pleasant sight. Cui Jian guessed that this was the reason why the shrine was built so high.

There is no gate. Walking in is a small square with an area of ​​about 300 square meters. Part of the land is concrete and part of the land is stone paths. Follow the concrete directly to the main hall, and follow the path to the backyard. Shrine means the realm of God. Each shrine worships different gods. The Nine-Headed Shrine worships the legendary nine-headed snake.

Cui Jian first looked at the tiled house on the left, then the tiled house on the right, and then walked into the main hall. He put on gloves, took out 500 yen from a stack of US dollars and threw it into the cash box. Then he came out and followed the path to the backyard of about 200 square meters.

There is no precise boundary in the backyard, the boundary is a bamboo forest. Beside the bamboo forest there is a stone table and two stone drums, which may be the place where the two chess players played chess.

According to Cui Jian's observation, this is the only place in the entire shrine where people can sit and chat, and the environment is pretty good.

Cui Jian put down his shoulder bag and squatted down to look at the stone table for a while. How should I put it? It was just an ordinary round stone table, without any grooves to hide things. As long as someone squatted down and took a look, they could see something extra under the stone table.

But now that we are here and have built it, how can we not use it? Cui Jian took out a tissue-sized object with a cell phone tied to it. Cui Jian looked at it for a while, and after determining the main position, he began to apply glue and stick the incendiary bomb on it.

Cui Jian walked along the edge of the shrine for a while. Although there was only one road on the surface, as long as he wanted, he could go up the mountain to the shrine from anywhere. Then Cui Jian went to the main hall and checked the material of the tile houses to determine whether they could be used as cover in a gunfight.

After the investigation, Cui Jian walked down the steps and left the shrine. He walked more than a hundred meters along the road and found a place where he could park his car in a hidden place. There used to be a dirt road leading up the mountain, but now it was overgrown with weeds. The car drove in from the side and was well hidden with the canvas covering it.

However, Cui Jian gave up taking photos on the spot because Shengzi was not a local and could not secretly make a weed canvas to cover the car. Maybe he could not find a workshop that could make canvas based on the photo.

It's really hard to get things done without logistics, but there are ways to do it without logistics.

……

The next day, on the 1st, Kojima An got up early and went downstairs with two bodyguards. When they saw the big sister, more than a dozen thugs on the first floor bowed and greeted her. Kojima An nodded and got in the car and left. The car drove to the town, and everything was normal along the way. After contacting the other party by phone, Kojima An's car drove to the bottom of the stairs of the Kuzu Shrine.

The car stopped at one side, and two bodyguards stood on the left and right of the steps. Kojima looked up at the Torii Gate, pulled up the hem of her skirt and walked up. On the way, she met the priest, and Kojima put her hands together and greeted him. When the priest came to the bottom of the steps, the two bodyguards also greeted him. The priest returned the greeting and drove the electric car parked on the roadside to the town.

All of this was captured by a camera mounted on a roadside tree.

Shengzi drove up and parked at the steps, and Cui Jian got out. A bodyguard came forward, seemingly trying to stop Cui Jian from going to the shrine, but was shot in the head by Cui Jian, and then the second one. The pistol was equipped with a silencer, so it made very little noise. She took the car keys from the bodyguard, opened the trunk of Xiaodao's car, and Cui Jian threw the two bodies into the trunk. Shengzi took a bucket of pure water mixed with a certain concentration of bleach from her trunk and used it to wash the bloodstains on the roadside.

Cui Jian climbed the stairs, and Shengzi drove away and waited at the parking spot suggested by Cui Jian.

Half an hour ago, a man in his 50s went to the shrine with four bodyguards, and everything was recorded by the camera. Unfortunately, the camera only captured the side of his face, and Shengzi did not find this person in the database.

In the small square of the shrine, a bodyguard stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the bluestone path on the ground, stepping step by step in the middle of each bluestone.

In order to avoid bloodshed, Cui Jian attacked him from behind and broke his neck. Cui Jian carried the body and went to the right room first, threw the body inside the room and closed the door. He went to the left room to confirm that no one was there, and then confirmed that no one was in the hall, and walked along the edge of the hall to the backyard, and then heard voices talking.

To Cui Jian's surprise, they spoke English, not Japanese.

Kojima Anne: "No. 10 has landed safely. There are two orders this month, both for bodyguards. Take a look."

After a while, the male voice said, "Number 11's life experience is too complicated, with several ups and downs. She is not a suitable candidate. I have already told you the criteria." Xiaodao An asked, "Didn't Number 10 succeed? Her experience can be called wonderful."

Male voice: "No. 10 has a disclaimer, so we can make a bold attempt. The employer's requirement for No. 10 is obedience, and the requirement for No. 11 and No. 12 is loyalty. Loyalty means actively giving up your life, while obedience means passively giving up your life."

Xiaodao Xing said impatiently: "Singer, don't take chicken feathers as an arrow. Every time you meet in such a remote place, you are picky every time you meet. Isn't it just to show off your status?"

Cui Jian could tell that they were most likely talking about humanoid dogs. The auction of Xingfu Company was just an advertisement for them. In fact, they were already secretly customizing and modifying humanoid dogs.

Forget it, let the two-headed dog think about these things, I will just kill it myself.

He walked out of his hiding place, held the gun in one hand, and shot as he walked. Three shots knocked down three bodyguards. While Kojima An and the man were stunned, Cui Jian shot each bodyguard again.

Cui Jian, wearing a mask and a hat, waved his gun and asked them to stand aside. Cui Jian sat in Xiaodao Xing's seat, took out his mobile phone, connected to the two-headed dog, and turned on the speaker.

Two-headed dog: "Hello."

Cui Jian poured a few pieces of chewing gum, stuffed them into his mouth from behind the mask, and performed an alternative voice change: "What's your name?" referring to the man.

The man did not answer, Cui Jian said: "I am still wearing a mask, which means I don't intend to kill you. Don't force me to take off the mask."

The man quickly replied: "Singer."

The two-headed dog asked, "Indian?"

The man replied: "Indian name, I'm American."

Cui Jian dismantled the incendiary bomb, removed the fuse, and put it back into his backpack.

Two-headed dog: "Why did you touch our people?"

Kojima An and Singh looked at each other and asked, "Who are you?"

The two-headed dog didn't answer, but asked, "Are you working on modifying the brains of humans?"

The two didn't answer.

Two-Headed Dog: "Show them the picture."

Cui Jian took out his cell phone, flipped out a photo of Liu Sheng, and handed the phone to them: "Have you seen him?"

They both shook their heads: "No."

Cui Jian asked: "What should we do? Kill one first?"

Two-headed dog: “Okay.”

Cui Jian raised his gun and pointed it at Xiaodao Xing, who immediately said, "I received him a few months ago, and he volunteered to become a resource for Xingfu Company."

The two-headed dog asked: "Are you just going to accept it like that?" Are you kidding me?

Xiaodao An replied: "He was introduced by the fountain pen."

The two-headed dog asked, "Who is the pen?"

Xiaodao Xing shook her head and said after a long while: "Kill me."

Xiaodao An was knocked unconscious, and her cell phone and other personal belongings were all placed on the table. After the incident, Cui Jian looked at Singer and said, "We only need one person alive."

Singer's horror was self-evident. He said hastily, "I'm in charge of logistics and have never seen the face of the experimental subject."

Cui Jian: “Lie.”

Singh swallowed his saliva and said, "I am the deputy director of the Future Lab. I didn't lie. I am in charge of logistics."

The Future Lab is the first laboratory to create humanoid dogs. Kojima An is responsible for receiving the experimental subjects, taking blood samples and other samples from the experimental subjects and handing them over to Singer, who will take them to the Future Lab. The Future Lab will conduct professional tests on blood samples, urine, hair and other samples. Once qualified, Singer will arrange a vehicle to deliver the experimental subjects to the designated location. The location is not fixed, sometimes it is the dock, sometimes it is the street.

The experimental subjects will enter the secondary laboratory for comprehensive transformation, which can take anywhere from two weeks to two months. After the transformation is complete, Singh will pick up the experimental subjects at the designated location and, according to the employer's requirements, buy air tickets for the experimental subjects, allowing them to return home by civil aviation.

The chief technician and person in charge of the Future Lab is Dr. Kameda. Dr. Kameda decides whether the experimental products are qualified. There are 18 staff members in the Future Lab, including 12 security personnel, 3 logistics and cleaning personnel, and only 3 technical personnel who are directly under the leadership of Dr. Kameda.

The laboratory is named Kameda Institute of Biological Studies and is located in Keihoku-cho.

As the questions deepened, the two-headed dog raised an important question: "Is every experimental subject willing?"

Singh answered confidently: "Yes, they cooperated very well. We did not restrict their freedom and they could leave at any time. Some of the subjects were afraid, panicked and worried, but no one gave up."

The two-headed dog asked, "You really haven't seen the person in the photo?"

Singh replied: "The work of picking up people is done by my bodyguards." Then he glanced at the body on the ground.

Two-headed dog: "Where will you send the experiment?"

Singh: "A secondary laboratory, but I don't know where it is. We drop people off at a designated location and someone will come to pick them up."

Cui Jian intuitively felt that Singh knew far less than Kojima An.

Two-headed dog: "Who knows?"

Singh shook his head: "I don't know. No, Dr. Kameda definitely knows. He is from the Level 2 laboratory."

The two-headed dog asked, "Can you ask him out?"

Singer replied: "He eats and lives in the laboratory. He says that this is to analyze the inevitable connection between the mental state of the experimental subjects and the results. He is in frequent contact with Miss Kojima. All the experimental subjects live in the residence provided by Miss Kojima while they are waiting. Dr. Kameda observes the daily behavior of the experimental subjects through the surveillance in the residence."
