Chapter 371 Osaka
The couple took a sweet walk, and the funeral was being prepared. An ordinary-looking middle-aged man came in to pay his respects. The middle-aged man first walked to Lin Hai's coffin, stared at it for a while, and muttered to himself silently, as if they were once very familiar people. The guests behind him waited patiently.

The middle-aged man walked around the body and came to Lin's wife, who had already stepped forward to greet him. She didn't know this man, but she didn't need to know him. She had never seen most of the guests present today, and they only had a few lines.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man reached into his left sleeve with his right hand, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed Lin's wife seven times in a "piano-playing" style. The so-called piano-playing is to stab continuously with extremely fast techniques, which sounds simple, but is actually not easy to do.

The middle-aged man did it. Before anyone could react, he had grabbed the four-year-old child, put the bloody dagger on the child's neck, and walked out without saying a word. Seeing this, the people outside the mourning hall all dispersed. Some bodyguards protected their employers, while others drew their guns at the middle-aged man and ordered him to put down the weapon.

After seeing clearly, the experienced bodyguard shouted: "Don't shoot."

The bullet was very fast, and theoretically it could have killed the criminal before he could attack the hostage. However, the criminal held the dagger in his left hand, which was wrapped around the child's neck, with the blade pressing on the right side of the child's neck. Once the criminal died, his right hand holding the child would lose strength first, and the child would fall, pulling the criminal's left hand, and the dagger might slide across the child's neck.

It cannot be said that the child is definitely dead. After all, the specific situation depends on the strength with which the criminal holds the knife, the sharpness of the blade, the angle at which the child falls, etc.

Cui Jian and Ye Lan watched from 20 meters away. Cui Jian whispered the details in Ye Lan's ear. Ye Lan asked, "Can you save her?"

Cui Jian said: "50%." The gangster was walking very fast, and it was difficult for the bodyguard to cooperate with others to subdue him. The best way was to shoot the gangster to death while someone else stepped forward to hold the child and grab the gangster's arm.

Ye Lan said: "Then don't cause trouble."

Cui Jian nodded: "Yes." Even if Ye Lan didn't say it, he wouldn't be the hero. Many bodyguards at the scene knew that there was a chance to save the child, but the cost and benefits were disproportionate.

Some people say that this is the life of a child. Considering the bodyguard's identity, it is of course a good thing to be able to save the person, and maybe he can get a bonus. But what if the child dies? The responsibility does not belong to the gangster who was shot dead. After all, the Lin family is a chaebol family. The bodyguard may have to pay compensation and go to jail.

As they were talking, the criminal took the child hostage to a parking space and got into a jeep. The jeep was specially decorated, with a wreath fixed on the hood. Bystanders could tell at a glance that the jeep was either a funeral vehicle or had a close relationship with the deceased. It was also possible that the criminal was able to drive into the funeral site smoothly because of this.

Ye Lan said: "The public security in Hancheng is getting worse and worse."

Cui Jian disagreed: "It's not that Hancheng has bad public security, it's that money is so attractive." Cui Jian believes that the core manifestation of poor public security is that the poor cannot survive and are forced to commit crimes, and the victims are mostly poor people of the same class. Desperadoes commit crimes for money, which is a value issue, not a public security issue. Hancheng has been in turmoil for the past two years because of the Seven Killings, but Cui Jian still thinks that Hancheng has a pretty good public security.

Ye Lan nodded in response. She knew that Lin's wife was determined to break up with the Lin family and wanted to take all of Lin Hai's property, which led to her death. The Lin family negotiated with Lin's wife many times, but none of them met her expectations. Lin's wife agreed to sell the shares of Lin's Group at 120% of the market price because she had contacted a Japanese businessman who was willing to buy her shares at 120% of the market price. The major shareholder has the right of first refusal at the same price. It can be said that Lin's wife did not give the Lin family any face.

The killer killed Lin's wife. Since her parents had passed away, the first inheritance rights were the two children, and the guardianship naturally fell to their grandfather, Old Man Lin.

Looking at the Lin family's bodyguards, they had no intention of surrounding the criminals. Instead, they protected the other child and left the scene as soon as possible.

The criminal successfully got into the jeep, started the vehicle, locked the door, threw the child into the passenger seat, and drove away. Only then did someone call the police and the emergency number. There were two doctors among the guests at the scene, who quickly ran to Lin's wife, but everyone knew that Lin's wife would definitely not survive.

As expected, Lin's wife died before the ambulance arrived. Lin's family and staff apologized to every guest, and the subtext was of course to order them to leave.

After the guests left, Lin Hai's coffin was put on a hearse and driven to the ancestral land for burial. The arrangement was so clear that anyone with a discerning eye knew who was the real murderer behind the murder of Lin's wife. Perhaps this was also an important reason why the criminals could easily enter the funeral scene, but without evidence, even if the police found the criminals and clues, it would be impossible to implicate the Lin family.

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was much worse than when we came in. Cui Jian said: "The Samsung Princess should learn from the Lin family and get rid of the bodyguards."

Ye Lan leaned in Cui Jian's arms and asked, "Why does the story of the Three Star Princess sound so familiar?"

Cui Jian said: "I am the bodyguard, you are the princess."

Ye Lan asked: "Then will you hit me?"

Cui Jian smiled and said, "See where to hit?"

Ye Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "Baby, I want to get married a few years later."

Cui Jian replied: "As long as you are happy, it is okay not to get married."

Ye Lan: "You don't love me."

Cui Jian: "..."

Ye Lan: "Nothing to say?"

Cui Jian: “Please ask again.”

Ye Lan: "I want to get married a few years later."

Cui Jian: "No, let's get married right away."

Ye Lan: "You don't love me."

Cui Jian asked: "What is the standard answer?"

Ye Lan replied: "I will always be with you."

Cui Jian: "I've learned it. I will always be by your side."

Ye Lan: "You don't love me."

Cui Jian: “Why?”

Ye Lan: "You don't want to marry me at all."

Cui Jian: "You asked me earlier if I would hit you?"

Ye Lan: "Hmm?"

Cui Jian took action: "The answer is yes." Ye Lan: "If you want to hit me, then hit me. Why are you taking off your clothes?" Her tone was full of innocence and grievance.

Cui Jian: "If the child is disobedient, he will be spanked."

"Haha, no, not now." Ye Lan used her body to suppress Cui Jian, picked up the phone and pressed the call button, and said to the driver: "Go to the other courtyard."

"Okay, let's go to the other courtyard." The bodyguard leader seemed to be talking to someone else, but in fact he was repeating Ye Lan's order. If he misheard or Ye Lan said the wrong place, Ye Lan would correct him immediately. From a service perspective, the Ye family bodyguards were much more reliable than short-term rental bodyguards like Cui Jian.

The story of the villa is less than 100,000 words.

……

At 1am on New Year's Day, the Ye family bodyguards sent Cui Jian to the airport. On the way, the two bodyguards did not talk to Cui Jian, nor did they chat with him. When Cui Jian asked, the bodyguards responded politely, and their attitude seemed to have treated him as a member of the Ye family. As for what they talked about in private, it didn't matter. After all, the fact that Cui Jian was with Ye Lan was a topic of conversation for many people.

Duanmu, who was waiting outside the airport, was speechless when he saw Cui Jian: "You came here empty-handed?"

Cui Jian said: "A pistol can't pass through customs, right?"

Duanmu was speechless and asked, "Where is your luggage? Where are your spare clothes? Where is your razor?"

Cui Jianyi waved his hand and said, "I have money. I'll buy a new one when we get to Osaka. Don't complain. I'm lucky enough to have my passport with me. Let's go."

Duanmu and Guiyi each picked up their backpacks and walked into the waiting room.

The plane arrived in Osaka at 3am, and the person who met us was a short-haired woman named Yoshiko, who was about 30 years old. She was the captain of the second team under the bodyguard department of Tokyo Security Company. The team had a total of five people, all of whom were Japanese.

After introducing each other, Liangzi shook hands with Cui Jian and said in English: "I have heard of your great name for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Cui Jian said politely: "When I heard that my partner was a wise, brave and beautiful woman, I wanted to carry a plane and swim across the sea to see you."

Duanmu and Guiyi stared at each other in surprise. It turned out that Cui Jian said this? Cui Jian glared back: I have a wife, understand?

Liangzi responded politely with a smile, met Duanmu and Guiyi, and introduced Sachiko who came with her.

As a defeated country in World War II, Japan enacted a constitution at MacArthur's request that prohibited it from having an army. Correspondingly, the United States was responsible for Japan's defense. The Self-Defense Forces are special public servants in legal definition, with more than 20 in service. Some observers believe that the training direction of the Self-Defense Forces is officers, not soldiers. Once there is a war, retired or active Self-Defense Forces members have the ability to command a team alone.

Regardless of whether the observers are right or wrong, Yoshiko is a retired personnel, and given the scarcity of female bodyguards, the Second Team can be considered a trump card of the Tokyo Security Company.

The headquarters is in Asahi Ward, north of Osaka Castle.

As they walked through the city, Yoshiko was surprised at Cui Jian's knowledge of the history of Osaka Castle. Cui Jian explained that he loved the game Taiko Rising when he was young, and that's how he learned about Japan during the Warring States Period.

The story of Osaka Castle is still very inspiring. Kinoshita Tokichiro was originally a servant of a samurai. He was favored by Nobunaga and became the lowest-ranking samurai. At that time, Nobunaga was also looked down upon and was called a fool. Kinoshita started as a low-ranking samurai and assisted Nobunaga in conquering a large area of ​​​​the country. After Nobunaga was stabbed in Honnoji, Kinoshita became the first person in the Warring States Period step by step and built Osaka Castle. After Kinoshita's death, the surrendered Tokugawa took the opportunity to rise and established the Tokugawa Shogunate with a history of hundreds of years.

The atmosphere was relaxed all the way to the base, which was a single-family building. The three male members of the second team did not rest at all. They came out of the entrance in the severe cold to politely greet the Duanmu team.

Japanese people are very polite, but as to how much of their politeness is genuine, that is not something Cui Jian needs to worry about.

I heard that Koreans like instant noodles, so the Tokyo group prepared instant noodles for midnight snack. Duanmu and the other two looked at each other in confusion. Seeing that Liangzi and the others were puzzled, Duanmu explained that none of them were Korean. After that, he added, but instant noodles were also delicious.

The two captains went to the compartment to discuss matters. Cui Jian opened the electronic map and, with the help of Sachiko and the others, he gained a three-dimensional understanding of Osaka Castle, including which areas were ancient streets, which areas were modern roads, the speed of police response, the location of special police stations, and so on.

The two groups cooperated with each other for only one purpose: during Dolan's stay in Japan, regardless of whether he met Luke or not, if he was attacked, he would be immediately taken to three safe houses or small airports.

The three safe houses are located in three places in Osaka Castle, and the small airport is located in the suburbs north of Osaka Castle. The meeting place has not been determined yet, and the retreat route cannot be drawn. The police station and the special police station are temporary shelters. However, the combat power of the police station is limited, so don't choose it unless you have to.

The two captains held a brief meeting to explain the situation and some of everyone's concerns: "The opponent we are facing has a certain strength in Japan, and it is not ruled out that he controls people in the judicial department. Limited to weapons and legal issues, we are at a disadvantage."

Duanmu said: "There are two groups of mercenaries in Osaka. Each group consists of 5 people. These two groups of mercenaries will follow us for about two kilometers. They will not take the initiative to attack us. Once we are in trouble, we can ask them for help. They will temporarily block the pursuers for us. But they are not dead soldiers. They will definitely flee the scene before the police intervene."

Duanmu gestured, and Liangzi projected the map of Osaka Castle onto the wall. Duanmu pointed with a small stick and said, "See the H mark on the map? This is the helicopter parking space. If we can't send Dolan to the safe house or the airport, we can only use the last measure to send Dolan to these parking spaces."

The bodyguard named Shimoda raised his hand: "Wouldn't it be better to just send the VIP to the parking space? Why do we need to set up a safe house?"

Duanmu answered: "Because if you send someone to a safe house, he will really be safe. If you send someone on a helicopter, you can't be sure what will happen. The first big problem is that helicopters are quite common in cities like Osaka and Tokyo, including some special police patrol helicopters. If a civilian helicopter does not have a flight plan or does not fly according to the flight plan, it will be intercepted by the special police. I won't talk about the second big problem for now, you just need to remember that helicopters are our last resort for evacuation.

Duanmu looked at Liangzi, Liangzi nodded and said, "VIP will arrive in Osaka at noon tomorrow. Customers who have made appointments with VIP will inform the VIP of the meeting address before 11 o'clock tomorrow night. Team leader Duanmu and I will pick you up at the airport tomorrow. Everyone else should have a good rest on the spot and don't go out. Cui Jian, Gui Yi, if you have any needs, you can tell Sachiko."

Sachiko bowed, "Leave it to me."

Cui Jian and Gui Yi didn't expect the other person to be so polite, and they nodded and responded quickly: "Thank you for your help."

Liangzi opened the drawer and said, "From now on, everyone must hand in their personal cell phones and can only use work phones."

Liangzi explained to Cui Jian and the others: "The work phone is a satellite phone. You can make calls, but all operations will be recorded by the company's technical department. During the mission, we usually only use walkie-talkies. This is the phone box. After you put your phone in it, you can seal it separately. You can sign the seal to ensure that no one else will touch your phone."

Cui Jian and Gui Yi nodded repeatedly.

Cui Jian reported his itinerary to Shengzi because he was going on a business trip abroad, and did not bring Qi Sha's mobile phone. If he needed anything in Japan, he could use Qi Sha's emergency contact information. Cui Jian turned off his mobile phone, put it in a box, and followed others to wrap it with a seal, and finally signed at the seal interface.

There are similar requirements in Dayin Security, but the Duanmu Group has always ignored the requirements and will not control communications unless outsiders join the group to participate in the project. Even so, everyone will turn off their phones during the project and turn them on during a safe time period to check if there is any important information.
