I will never give in to Miss Death
Page 237
"No, there are no other islands behind us. If we go out further, we will be beyond the territorial waters."
Yin Xiamo shook her head: "These people are less than 5 kilometers away from us. According to this speed and direction, they can only be coming here."
You can sense people 5 kilometers away? What kind of skill is this, divine knowledge?
"They'll probably land there."
Yin Xiamo pointed at the steel and construction materials that the workers had brought in not far away and said, "Nuo'er, how about we hide first? In the past few years, I have learned a lot about the rules of human society. Generally speaking, when such a big shot comes to such a remote place, he must have something important to do, and it is likely to be something not very formal."
"hide……"
I looked around: "Where to hide?"
"This way."
Having said that, Yin Xiamo didn't wait for my reaction, she quickly walked forward, hugged me in her arms like a princess, then made a big leap to a small hill behind, lifted a huge rock with one hand and placed it in front of us.
"This height is sufficient. Since they chose this location to do their work, they must have confirmed the safety of this place in advance and would not have checked the surrounding environment."
After putting me down on the small open space, Yin Xiamo gestured for me to hide behind rocks and bushes. "Nuo'er, if they come ashore over there in a while, as long as they don't walk more than 50 meters, you should be able to hear their conversation clearly at this distance with your hearing."
"Eh?"
I didn't understand for a moment: "Do you want to eavesdrop on their conversation?"
"Mayor Ye had contacted us before coming here. Although it was a private contact, I guess it is more or less related to what they are going to discuss later."
Yin Xiamo nodded: "I don't want to miss any information related to you, Nuoer."
Oh well.
Seeing that Yin Xiamo was determined, I found a relatively secluded place and squatted down, staring at the gap between the two high mountains ahead.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes.
"Buzzing buzzing..."
I don’t know how many minutes passed before I saw two speedboats appear in my sight, dragging their long tails through the gap between the two mountains, entering the island and heading towards this side quickly.
The girl next to me gently took my hand.
"coming."
"..."
……
No. 192 Game of Thrones
As Yin Xiamo and I watched, the two speedboats, with a "buzzing" sound, created waves and passed through the dozens of meters high mountains in the middle of the island, from the sea to the blue waters of the lake inside the island.
The girl next to me brought a stone, wiped it slightly with a wet towel, and signaled that I could sit on it.
“Why is the mayor here?”
I calmly sat down on the rock, hiding myself behind the bushes as much as possible, and looked at the people on the speedboat: "Who are they, Xiaomo, do you know?"
Yin Xiamo has always given me the impression of being stable and reliable. Apart from some common sense on Earth, I always instinctively think that she knows everything and can do everything. As long as she is around me, I will have a very safe feeling, so at this time I almost subconsciously asked the girl next to me.
"According to my previous investigation... the mayor was actually appointed in a hurry, and because of his young age, he does not have a good grasp of the local situation. In recent years, he has been suppressed by some local forces."
Yin Xiamo whispered, "For example, the hidden forces in the Nannagi District and the Rongyao District are the welfare home and the medicinal plant garden where you lived when you were a child. They were originally very far away from Kamihama City, so there were some local forces. In addition, the factions within Kamihama City were not very peaceful. Later, they merged with Kamihama City, and the local forces became a big problem."
Local forces?
"I do not really get it."
I felt a little silly at this moment: "Is this also a political matter?"
“This can’t be considered politics.”
Yin Xiamo explained, "I did some research before, and it seems that the mayor back then had a more extreme work style, and was the type who valued political achievements over reputation, and he made a lot of mistakes. That group of people did boost the economy of Shenbin City, but it also brought a lot of problems. For the mayor at that time, as long as you could help him build Shenbin City well and boost the economy, he would turn a blind eye even if those officials used their power for personal gain or did something petty."
Isn't this corruption?
"So this mayor... Mayor Ye is replacing the old mayor who made a mistake?"
"The old mayor was arrested a long time ago. This mayor was sent here by the country. Minami Nagi District and this area... these islands are all projects she decided to build."
Yin Xiamo stared ahead: "I don't know much about these things in the human world. I just did a little research on the specific situation here. At that time, my biggest impression of this city was that the people and forces here are quite complicated. Generally speaking, they can be divided into two factions. One is the radical old force. They once played a certain role in promoting the prosperity of Shenbin City, but also destroyed the harmony of this city. In the end, the former mayor was exposed and arrested, and then Mayor Ye came to rebuild the economy."
It sounds like Ye Yuqing has a heavy burden on her shoulders?
Yin Xiamo's words gave me a general understanding of the situation in Kamihama City.
The economy of Kamihama City started to develop rapidly about 20 or 30 years ago, which is about the time when I was born. My impression of that era is that it was chaotic, extremely chaotic. But the changes around it were real. Roads were built around the school, the staff canteen and sports equipment in the botanical garden were renovated, and the old roads nearby were rebuilt. It used to take an hour to drive from the medicinal plant garden to the city center, but now it only takes a few dozen minutes.
I don’t understand these things anyway, but since Yin Xiamo said that Mayor Ye Yuqing was sent by the country, and the projects in Nannai District and the "Tenth District" on the island were also advocated by her, then I should be able to understand that... she belongs to the relatively "friendly" or "just" side, right?
Personally, I don’t like the word “justice” very much, because once “justice” is mentioned, I always think of a “partner of justice”, but justice is inherently relative, just like when we were children, we liked to say to our friends “you are wrong, I am right” or “it is not good to do this, this is good” - how can the adult world be simply summarized by the two words “right” and “wrong”?
"Buzzing..."
While chatting, I saw from behind the bushes that two speedboats slowed down in the sea several dozen meters away from the shore, and then approached the area where the workers placed construction materials.
The speedboat slowly stopped and docked.
"Mayor Ye, be careful."
A man in his 50s or 60s sitting on one of the speedboats stretched out his hand to Ye Yuqing behind him: "No one is usually here, and the sand is not as soft as that on the Blue Sea and Silver Beach. Don't sprain your ankle."
"Don't worry, my Chief Prosecutor Su."
She reached out and grabbed the man's hand, using the force to stand up, then carefully jumped off the speedboat. After moving around on the beach for a few times, Ye Yuqing exclaimed, "The air here is so fresh."
Behind the bushes, I carefully took out my cell phone, enlarged the screen, and turned on the video function.
The area with a circular sea in the middle of the island is generally like an inverted shell, with a concave middle and high mountains all around. The location where Yin Xiamo and I are located is dozens of meters away from Ye Yuqing and his group. In addition, there are various bushes and boulders to cover the area. Unless they get off the boat and look around with a telescope, there is basically no way for them to find Yin Xiamo and me.
Not to mention a telescope, even the most sensitive person, when arriving at such an "uninhabited island", can only look around the island with the mentality of enjoying the scenery, and it is unlikely that they can look carefully at every corner.
The most important thing is that ordinary people can't get up to the place where Yin Xiamo and I are because there is no road. Yin Xiamo jumped up while holding me. Ordinary people don't have such magical power. If they really want to get up, they can only temporarily open a road at the foot of the mountain. At that time, Yin Xiamo and I had already run away.
"Whoohoo-"
The biggest feature of an island in the sea is that a cool sea breeze blows from time to time.
The sea breeze would blow the bushes, trees and lake surface on the island. At a glance, the trees on the entire island were swaying left and right, greatly increasing the concealment of Yin Xiamo and me.
This is just like playing shooting games. If the enemy is a hidden one, just lying in the grass without moving, most players won't be able to find him at all. If the grass and trees in this game are the kind that move, often swaying back and forth, and a few leaves float by from time to time, then it will be even more impossible for ordinary players to find the person in the grass.
"That's right. This is the final destination of a ten-year project."
In the footage recorded by the mobile phone, the man in his fifties or sixties who Ye Yuqing called "Chief Prosecutor Su" laughed and said, "I don't know if I can live to that time. After the 10th District of Shenbin City is opened to traffic, I will buy a villa on these islands and spend my old age in peace."
“The biggest problem with the ten-year project is this island.”
Ye Yuqing looked at the highest mountain to the left of Yin Xiamo and me and said, "This place is too remote. It's nearly six kilometers away from the nearest island. Whether it's land reclamation or artificial bridges, the cost is too high. It's not easy to do."
"Why don't you try to sell this place?"
Another man got off the speedboat and said, "I noticed this when I saw the proposal. The project in District 10 is good in every way, except for this island, which has some minor issues. By then... the investment and return may not be proportional."
"The question is who to sell it to? It's wrong to sell it to anyone."
Mayor Ye turned his gaze away from the mountain and asked, "Sold it to the Zhao Gang?"
"No, no, no, Mayor Ye, since we are all here, let's discuss something serious instead of talking about Zhao Dabang and Zhao Dabang all the time. I think you are crazy."
The "Chief Prosecutor Su" who was speaking took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, took a deep breath, and looked at the sea area surrounded by the island in front of the beach: "The terrain of this island is too complicated, like a moon, but there is such a large sea in the center of the moon. It is beautiful, but it is not suitable for development."
At this time, another speedboat also stopped at the shore, and two men jumped from the boat nimbly onto the beach. "We are finally here. Mayor Ye, Chief Prosecutor Su, are we exaggerating too much? It's just a small meeting. Is it necessary to come to such a remote place?"
As he spoke, a man took out his cell phone and glanced at the screen: "There's not even any signal."
"Why, are you afraid that our Mayor Ye will swallow you up here?"
The man smoking next to him chuckled and said, "It's better if there is no signal to prevent eavesdropping."
"Is it really that scary? Who would dare to eavesdrop on you these days..."
The man seemed to want to say something, but when he saw the expression on "Chief Prosecutor Su's" face, he stopped talking: "Okay, I admit, I do have to be careful."
"Xiao Zhou, the main reason we came here today is that we don't want certain people to hear our conversation. This concerns... the future of Kamihama City."
I heard this from behind the bushes, hesitated, exited the video, and deleted what I had just recorded.
Probably because of my elven physique, my eyesight and hearing are very good. Even though I am sitting with Yin Xiamo in the windy mountains, I can still clearly hear the conversation of the people below and see their appearance.
There were five people coming to the island at this time, two of whom were on the speedboat with Ye Yuqing. The man called "Prosecutor Su" was the oldest, but his face looked very haggard, and he probably wasn't in good health. And his eyebrows... how to put it, they were somewhat similar to Su Yunjin.
As for the other person who was in the same boat with them and the two people on another speedboat, I didn't know them.
“This city is…sick.”
Seeing that "Xiao Zhou" understood the meaning of his words, the man called "Prosecutor General Su" sighed, took a final puff of his cigarette, coughed a few times, put out the cigarette with his hand, and put it into the small box he carried with him.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many obstacles just to build a commercial street. If things continue like this, I'm afraid there will be problems with the construction of the Kamihama Cross-Sea Bridge as well."
"Next month, someone from the province will come to help you investigate what I told you on the phone yesterday. You must fully cooperate."
"As long as we find someone, no matter what their background is, no matter who they are involved with, we will not show any mercy to them."
"..."
"it is good."
"Xiao Zhou" nodded: "So... the Zhao family..."
"We are here today mainly to talk about the Zhao family. They have offended the public countless times and have repeatedly obstructed the construction of the Nannai District. We should deal with them as we should."
"what?"
The man next to him seemed a little hesitant. He frowned first, then nodded: "Oh, yes... yes."
"The reason why we called you here is because there is no one else here, and your cell phone or something won't be monitored, let alone 'walls have ears'. Xiao Zhou, you don't have to take what we say to you here as official or polite talk. I'll be frank. At the latest, there will be action by August. At that time, you should cooperate with the work and investigate as you should."
"Then... there is still a vacant position in the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Disciplinary Inspection Department. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
It can be seen that the man called "Xiao Zhou" showed a relieved expression: "Finally, we are going to take action."
"If we don't take action now, it will be the end of Kamihama."
The man turned to Ye Yuqing: "Is Mayor Ye's little daughter okay? What did the doctor say?"
"It's okay, it's magical."
Ye Yuqing seemed to have just come back to her senses from deep thought. She sat on one of the steel bars of the construction materials at the side. "There is no rejection reaction. The transplanted kidney is working normally, even beyond its normal level. There are no problems with the blood test and urine test."
"Isn't this nice?"
The man walked over and said, "Why do you still look so worried?"
"It's just because it's so good and so smooth that I always feel a little uneasy."
Ye Yuqing raised her head: "You also know that my daughter's illness has not been a day or two. From the time she was diagnosed with nephritis to kidney failure, it was only a few years... I could only watch her physical condition getting worse day by day, and finally she had to be hospitalized and undergo dialysis..."
"The doctor also told me that if I had a kidney transplant, my life would probably not be able to recover to the level of an average person after the operation. I would have to take anti-rejection drugs and have regular checkups. Also, someone in my hometown had a similar operation, and the transplant could only last a few years, and the disease relapsed after a few years."
"Your daughter is...also having rejection problems?"
“No rejection.”
Ye Yuqing shook her head. "The transplanted kidney is alive and well. My daughter had the surgery at the beginning of this month, and she can walk after just a few weeks. The doctors found it very strange. It's just like... identical twins, where there is almost no rejection reaction."
"Have you checked the donor's information? Male or female?"
"He's a man named Yin Shiren, almost 30 years old, from the welfare home of the Shenbin City Medicinal Plant Garden. His biological parents are unknown. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage and signed a body donation agreement. Many of his organs have been donated."
"That's all the information?"
The man frowned and said, "Cerebral hemorrhage? How can a young man of this age have a cerebral hemorrhage?"
"It could be due to irregular work and rest schedules and too much stress. I roughly sorted out his information before his death. He had been working at the bottom level since he graduated from school. He never had a girlfriend and had three labor arbitration cases. Before the accident, the boss of his company ran away. He only made a living by doing part-time jobs online. It was probably because he worked too hard and was under great psychological pressure, which induced... um, some brain diseases."
Ye Yuqing said calmly: "There is no problem with the autopsy."
"Didn't they say that many of this person's organs were donated? What is the specific status of those organs?"
"Prosecutor Su."
Ye Yuqing crossed her arms and said, "As the mayor of a city, it is illegal for me to use my position to investigate donor information. Today, only the people here are trustworthy. If my words were to spread outside, not only would my daughter be harassed, but I would also have to worry about whether I could continue to be the mayor."
