Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1291 Power outage again

  After handing over the task of making the golem to Hu Li and others, Liu Xing was going to go to the brewery, intending to release the imprisoned Ichiro Kishimoto, because there is no need to lock them up now.

  By the way, Liu Xing also wants to have a good exchange with another self, Watanabe Meteor, to see what he thinks of the current Koukawa Xiaofu.

   In the end, before Liu Xing got in the car, he received a call from Zhang Jingxu.

"Sure enough, as we guessed before, people from the public faction have begun to blame us, and now several policemen have come to question the employees in the factory. If there is no accident, they will come soon. find you."

   Liu Xing frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "Then do I want to disappear now? I think if I was brought back to the police station by them, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out today."

"If you really do this, Liu Xing, I'm afraid the person who gets caught will have to become me, so I have to disappear with you. We can't clear the crime together until the battle of Gongwu is over... But Having said that, I just sent someone to investigate the deceased, and found that he lost a lot of money recently because of stock speculation, and he has two children in elementary school at home."

Zhang Jingxu sighed and said helplessly: "Just half an hour ago, that person's wife took the child back to her hometown, and she has refused to come to claim the body on the grounds of discord. It seems that the public faction is this We are determined to rectify us and block all the links that may go wrong."

   "It's a bit harsh."

Liu Xing thought for a while and continued: "Then I'd better go to the police station. I have surveillance video near the farm. As for this way, there should also be a video camera of illegal driving that caught me, so from the time It can be deduced from the above that I have no time to commit the crime, after all, the path to the natural gas tanker will be completed soon."

"Well, I also think it's best for you to clear the suspicion, Liu Xing, so that we can get out of this case, but you still have to be careful, I suspect that people from the public faction will choose Use words to induce you to make some speeches." Zhang Jingxu sighed again.

Liu Xing smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this, I, Liu, also studied psychology, and I have read some books like cold reading, so I won't say something wrong. What should I say, not to mention that I am a wealthy person now anyway, if I find something wrong, I will just shut up and wait for the lawyer."

   As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he heard the voice of a stranger from Zhang Jingxu's side, and the stranger asked Zhang Jingxu to cooperate with him in the investigation.

   Then, Zhang Jingxu hung up the phone.

   To be on the safe side, Liu Xing told others about it, so Yin En and Ding Kun brought a few members of the Yellow Clothes Sect to the natural gas tank factory to ensure that Zhang Jingxu would be okay.

   And Liu Xing drove to the brewery according to the previous itinerary, and the brewery at this time was quite lively. Before entering the door, he heard someone chatting inside, and the content of the chat was what to eat tonight.

   It seems boring to stay here too.

   Liu Xing shook his head, pushed the door directly into the brewery, because Liu Xing had already told Meteor Watanabe before he came, and asked him to leave a door for himself.

   After entering the brewery, Liu Xing saw Watanabe Meteor playing chess with Koukawa Xiaofu.

   Seeing Liu Xing coming, Watanabe Meteor said with a smile: "Liu Xing, wait for a while, I will win this one soon."

   As an opponent, Gu Chuan Xiaofu was still unconvinced and said: "Master, don't be too confident, I still have a chance to come back."

Because he couldn't understand shogi, Liu Xing could only point to the room where Ichiro Kishimoto and others were imprisoned upstairs and said, "Then I'll go up and see the people in the Ikuta group first, if there's no problem, I'm going to let them all go. , anyway, there is no need to imprison them now; by the way, Xiaofu, these guys didn't plan to escape yesterday, right?"

"Of course not. Those guys are really honest, because they know that they can't escape. After all, the binding rope we prepared is a special version, and it is impossible for ordinary people to break free. Every moment, there are at least two people guarding the door of the room where they are being held." Kou Chuan Xiaofu replied very confidently.

   Liu Xing nodded and went upstairs.

As Koukawa Koo said, there were two people standing at the door of Ichiro Kishimoto and others, and there was a sound of snoring in the room. It seemed that Ichiro Kishimoto and others were idle in the room. It's more boring, so I can only choose to pass the time with sleep.

   But to be on the safe side, Liu Xing still took out the pistol and asked the two guards at the door to prepare.

   As a result, when Liu Xing entered the room, he saw Ichiro Kishimoto standing at the window door and looking out.

To be honest, the current height of this room is still acceptable for an adult man with good physical fitness, but because his hands were tied, Ichiro Kishimoto couldn't make up his mind to jump for a while. Because if you jump from such a height, you have to roll and other actions to release the force, otherwise you are likely to fracture.

However, because his hands were tied backwards, it would be awkward for Ichiro Kishimoto to roll, not to mention that he would roll over after falling from a high altitude, so Liu Xing knew that Ichiro Kishimoto should be very hesitant at this time. of.

   Of course, now Ichiro Kishimoto no longer has to hesitate, because he has also looked back and saw Liu Xing at the door.

  So, Ichiro Kishimoto said very embarrassedly: "Uh, what, I'm just bored watching the scenery outside."

   "Do you need to open the window then?"

Idle is also idle, Liu Xing is not in a hurry to go back to the farm now, so he said with a half-smile: "And what's so beautiful about this industrial area? Everywhere you can see are factories, I believe you are in a cannery. I don't miss it when I go to work..."

   Before Liu Xing finished speaking, the fluorescent lamp on his head suddenly went out.

"This is?"

Liu Xing suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, because the power company responsible for the industrial zone was his own, so if the power company had a power outage, he should have notified himself in advance, and if it was a sudden power outage, then It can be ruled out that it is caused by excessive electricity consumption in the surrounding area, because there are only a few factories still operating in the industrial area, so the electricity consumption will not be as high as that.

   Well, nine times out of ten, the reason why breweries have power outages today is that someone has cut the circuit!

   Now the question arises, is the circuit being cut only the brewery, or the entire industrial area?

   Soon Liu Xing got the answer - the whole of Nagoya!

   That's right, Liu Xing received a text message from Tanegashima Teruyi, the content is that Nagoya's power was cut off at the same time for some unknown reasons. . . Of course, this is obviously the beginning of the public faction, but it is still uncertain whether the public faction has pinpointed which link to move, so Tanegashima Teruichi is arranging for personnel to carry out maintenance.

   This made Liu Xing breathe a sigh of relief, because Liu Xing was also worried that the power outage was caused by the Ikuta group, and the purpose was to sneak up on the brewery and rescue Kishimoto Ichiro's advance preparation.

   Although the power outage during the day will not have much effect.

   But then again, is the public faction ready?

This is also not right. The power outage during the day will not bring too many advantages to the public faction. At most, it will give the Shimadzu family who just took over the Nagoya Electric Power Company a headache. There was a major power outage, so the Shimadzu family can attribute this power outage to the failure of the previous power company to complete the overhaul.

   So why do public factions do this?

Liu Xing, whose expression was uncertain, surprised Ichiro Kishimoto, who was standing opposite him, because in his opinion, Liu Xing at this time might attribute the cause of the power outage to him, and felt that his team leader either Demonstrating against them, or intending to launch a surprise attack while they are distracted.

  Thinking of this, Ichiro Kishimoto said quickly: "Sir, this power outage is definitely not the fault of our Ikuta team, because we have really conceded defeat, and sir, you also said that you will let us go."

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I don't think your Ikuta group can cut off all the power in Nagoya, because if your Ikuta group can really do it, then you won't be here now. already."

   "Uh, we seem to be able to do this."

To Liu Xing's surprise, Ichiro Kishimoto dared to "refute" himself, "Because Nagoya is a metropolis that has been established for a long time, although the power network in Nagoya is constantly being maintained and replaced, in general, It's all about changing the soup but not the medicine, so if you want to cut off the power supply to Nagoya at the same time, you only need to arrange a few people at the core of the power network, that is, near a few more important substations or substations, and you can cut off the entire power supply. Electricity in Nagoya is available."

Looking at Liu Xing with a puzzled face, Ichiro Kishimoto said a little embarrassedly: "Well, my father used to be a maintenance worker for the Nagoya Electric Power Company, and I was introduced by my father when I just graduated from school. I also became a maintenance worker, but I couldn't do such hard work, so I chose to resign soon after."

   Kishimoto Ichiro's answer made Liu Xing a little surprised and a little curious, "Oh, then you tell me where these important positions are? If it makes sense, I will let you go."

Hearing Liu Xing's words, Ichiro Kishimoto was instantly refreshed, "This is actually very simple. In order to save costs, the Nagoya Electric Power Company concentrated the power supply network in a large area, so it wanted to cut off the entire power supply. In fact, Nagoya needs to destroy at least six substations or substations. For example, the substation in our industrial area is located near the furniture factory that caught fire, and I still remember that the person in charge of the substation is an alcoholic who often drinks during the day. ."

   "Really? In such a big city, it only needs to destroy six substations to complete the city's power outage? This is too outrageous!"

   Liu Xing continued in surprise: "No wonder Nagoya had a power outage at the same time some time ago. It turned out that it was so simple to want the whole city to be powered off."

Kishimoto Ichiro shrugged and replied with a smile: "Of course, it is a laborious and expensive thing to renovate the circuit of the whole city, so the Nagoya Electric Power Company has not been able to do it for so many years. After all, as a As a private company, they have to think about cost and return, and the price of electricity is not going up right now, so it may take decades to recover the cost of the retrofit.”

   This is the so-called privatization.

   Liu Xing shook his head and said to the person at the door: "Go and prepare a few cars, take them to a farther intersection and put them down."

   As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Ichiro Kishimoto said happily: "Thank you, sir, I knew that you must be a person who counts, and our Ikuta group will never think about revenge."

   "Because we were not the target of your revenge. After all, we didn't blow up your cannery."

   After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xing said, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why your cannery suddenly exploded and caught fire may be the same as the previous furniture factory."

"Furniture Factory?"

   Ichiro Kishimoto frowned and said, "Yes, how could I forget about this... But I also know something about the furniture factory. It's just an ordinary processing factory."

   Liu Xing did not explain much and went downstairs.

   When we got downstairs, Meteor Watanabe asked about the power outage.

"So that's the case, I said why a city as big as Nagoya said there was a power outage. It turned out to be because of the cost problem that the anti-risk ability of the whole city's electricity was greatly reduced; but I still can't figure out why the public faction would have power outages during the day, could it be? Do you just want to give the Shimadzu family an unhappiness?"

   "No way. If you really want to throw the blame, the Shimadzu family has a reason to get rid of themselves. Besides, it is not difficult to find evidence of man-made damage to the substation now, so the public faction should have other conspiracies."

   Liu Xing thought for a while, and said seriously: "So, what does the power outage affect the most? I think this should be a serial plan."

"Daily office? There are quite a lot of office buildings in Nagoya, so this sudden power outage may cause many documents being edited to be scrapped directly." Koukawa Xiaofu leaned over and said, "By the way, there are also some related to the Internet. companies, their servers may be affected by outages."
