The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 23: Kanagawa at night (middle)

"I wish you a pleasant holiday in Japan, sir." After just glanced at Gu Tie's passport, the customs officer stamped the customs clearance stamp marked with electronic ink on it, and nodded respectfully, that is nothing." The identity of "Xiao Yan" is unexpectedly easy to use,

Gu Tie swaggered into the Haneda International Airport and took the Keihin Kyuko Railway to Kanagawa. Japanese was one of the earliest foreign languages ​​he mastered. Compared with German with complicated conjugations, French with sophisticated pronunciation, and a super fast speaking speed For Spanish, Korean and Japanese, which are in the gap between the Altaic language family and the Sino-Tibetan language family, are easy to learn because of the large number of Chinese character vocabulary and foreign language components. The only regret is that his Japanese teacher, together at the time The Japanese student who was in the bar was a native of Osaka, and unknowingly learned an authentic Kansai accent. When chatting with a Japanese friend from Tokyo, the other party praised his superb language talent while looking at him with a weird expression. It’s the eyes of Edo people looking at the unique "soil buns" of Osaka people.

Fast trains travel through the land of Honshu. The carriages are neat and orderly, and the scenery outside the window is exquisite and pleasant. It has been a hundred years since the war of aggression in the last century, but the scars of history have not been caused by the process of globalization. Healing, even a young Chinese born in a foreign country like Gu Tie has a deep hostility towards Japan and a deep hatred towards the militarist Great Japanese Empire. However, it must be admitted that he likes Japan’s customs, which was after the defeat. The rapidly rising capitalist countries have embarked on a road to a strong country without losing their authenticity. While the economy is taking off, the protection of cultural traditions has never been relaxed. Gu Tie also admires the Japanese spirit of pragmatic cooperation and stability. The Yamato nation is the most suitable. In the nation that constitutes an ant nest-shaped socialized life circle, everyone sticks to their own division of labor and beliefs like a gear. The combination of this kind of power seems very terrible.

But having said that, there is something in the Japanese bones that is quite annoying. Gu Tie has been in contact with many Japanese, but almost none of them can be called friends. I can barely talk about it, even today. The man who is going to visit, the Chinese looked down at the ticket stub in his hand, feeling a bit complicated,

Twenty minutes later, the train slowly stopped at Yokohama Station. With the flow of people walking out of the Keikyu Station lobby, a huge city appeared in front of you. Many people did not know that Yokohama was actually the second place in Japan after Tokyo. The big city, its geographic size, population and economic output ranks among the top ten in the world. It is an out-and-out megacity. After walking for a few minutes in accordance with the luminous signposts that appeared on the ground, there are five long lines. A serpentine team appeared in front of them. Although there was no one to maintain order, everyone consciously waited in line to take the taxi, keeping an efficient and decent distance between people.

"Japanese." Gu Tie shook his head, patted behind the team, pretending to take out his mobile phone and look at the surroundings. There was no warning sign in his heart. Safe, no one is following behind, it is a good start for this trip to Japan,

"Yokohama Port." Finally got into a green electric taxi, Gu Tie slightly recalled the address he was going to visit and instructed,

"Good afternoon, I am Maura from Shin Electric Rental Company. I am very happy to serve you. I would like to ask which terminal, Yamashita Terminal or Xingang Terminal." The driver in uniform and white gloves turned and asked.

"Neither, between A6 and A8 in the Keihin Industrial Belt, there is a private dock called "Sanji". Gu Tie saw the driver start to project a GPS navigation map on the front windshield and searched for this small The small civilian wharf immediately added: "Because it is too small and private land, it is not reported on the map, so it may not be found on the GPS. If you drive slowly along the approach road, you should be able to see it. Kanazawa Timber Pier is not far away, thank you very much. "

The driver turned off the projection screen and turned the steering wheel onto the road. He smiled and said, "Are you familiar with Yokohama Port? Did you come to Yokohama for business from Osaka? It will be convenient after the new Yokohama Airport is repaired." /

The Chinese smiled bitterly. Their looks and accent were mistaken for office workers from Kansai. It was also helpless. "Yes, I want to take a break. Can I wake me up when I arrive."

"Of course, office workers are the backbone of Japan. Please rest as much as possible." The driver clicked the button interestingly and darkened the translucent glass between the front and rear rows.

Gu Tie didn’t want to rest, but there was something to think about. While looking at the busy streets of Yokohama, he was thinking about the man he was about to face next. It might have just been raining a little bit outside, and the black asphalt road seemed wet and clean. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the evening peak has not yet arrived. All kinds of cars are passing between the high-rise buildings. In the gaps between the buildings, the suspended urban railway is under construction. The elevated iron bridge is passing through the sky at a height of 70 meters. The railway bridge is the latest attempt to solve urban traffic problems. The single-track rail above and the suspended structure below are responsible for the passage of two-way trains, using the most space-saving way to build a fast-passing system, and the elevated railway platforms are all erected in large buildings Inside, the main purpose is to allow office workers to quickly reach the office locations of large group companies when commuting. Just like the driver said, Japan is a country built on the stable ethnic group of "office workers." To ensure their convenience is to protect the entire country. Future,

The Chinese are thinking about another thing, "The buildings are getting higher and higher, and the cars are going to the sky. Maybe it won’t be long before the future world in science fiction movies will appear in front of you... The problem is, Will our world be able to support that day?" He muttered to himself,

It is already the climate of early December. The northwest wind shuts out the warm current from the East Pacific. The weather is a bit gloomy. Most of the men on the street wear windbreakers, and the women are mostly skirts. The man is wandering. Uncertain, but only from December to January every year, he will stay in his hut and hardly go out. The reason for this, which sounds a little absurd, is "to watch with my wife and children. The red and white song will be the most important thing of the year." The red and white song will be a fixed program on the evening of December 31 in Japan every year. For the old-school Japanese, watch the red and white songs on New Year’s Eve and the Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival Gala has the same meaning,

While thinking about it, the car has already driven into the Yokohama Port area. Since the Americans used cannons to open the long-closed gate of the Japanese Shogunate in the 19th century, Yokohama Port became the first port that was forced to open to foreign trade. It has developed in two hundred years. As one of the largest seaports in Asia and the world, eight large-scale terminals are responsible for the main ship services. However, the Port of Yokohama also has a large number of private terminals. These terminals are generally funded by enterprises and are responsible for the import and export business of their own enterprises, as well as crude oil and iron ore. At the entrance of the stone, the taxi turned into a small secluded path and drove straight to the end of the road. A barbed wire fence closed the way. The sign said that the land belongs to a company named "Kamikaze Enterprise Entering from here." "Export Federation" organization, only allows members or invited VIPs to enter,

"I was born in Yokohama. I never knew there was such a pier." The driver widened his eyes and sighed. This is a small harbor with a hidden location and moderate water depth. It’s messy, with seven or eight lower piers lined up by the water. There are no people and no cars around. A few seagulls are flying in the gray sky. The sea is dark gray-green, and the water is floating with a little oil from the ship’s diesel engine.

"The most indispensable thing in the world is such secrets, no need to look for them, thank you." After leaving the fare, Gu Tie picked up his travel bag and got out of the taxi, watching the green electric taxi turn around and leave,

The iron fence door by the barbed wire is simply locked with a padlock. There is an electric light hanging on the door. There is no device such as a camera or a voice conversation doorbell. The Chinese thought about what the man had told him. After too long, the memory is a little fuzzy, he scratched his head and suddenly clapped his hands: "That's right, this is the only way."

"Asada, Asada, Asada." Gu Tie yelled three times with his hands together and exhausted all his strength. The voice drifted across the secluded pier. Someone's housekeeper barked and then whimpered. I was stopped by the master and barked,

There was no movement, "...Is the name wrong?" The Chinese was a little vacant and tried his best to remember the past. He determined to wait five more minutes, and if no one came to meet him after five minutes, he would try to sneak in. But in the fourth minute, a man came slowly along the path, muttering as he walked: "Who, who, if it's not something important, I can...Gu Tie."

"Is it me, Lao Qian." Gu Tie waved his hand with a grin.

The man is thin and tall, with a rickety back, extremely long hands and feet, and his skin is dark. Compared to his height, his head with short black hair looks unusually small, round eyes, and unsmiling. The corners of his mouth are pressed tightly. From the looks of it, he is about forty years old. He shuffles and looks very lazy, but Gu Tie knows that every muscle in his slender body is full of amazing explosive power, and he is living together. In the short period of time, Gu Tie’s unarmed combat power has been unforgettable for Gu Tie. If the butler Zhao is a martial arts master who has reached the level of transformation, then this person is a fighting machine made of steel. If the two fight life and death, victory The negative reality is unknown,

"What are you doing here." The man named Asada frowned tightly, without a welcome look at all,

"How to put it...something." Gu Tie replied,

"Also, it might be better to have your help,,, my daughter is missing." The man said solemnly,
