Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 367 The White Swan Harbor Incident (Part 1)

  Barton County is adjacent to the border of the Bama Canal and is a secondary administrative region of the upper Kyoto metropolitan area.

  However, in terms of politics, economy, culture or other aspects, Barton County is not outstanding among the "one capital and six counties" in Shangjing.

  However, thanks to the new local governor of Barton County in recent years, combined with the local characteristics of Barton County near the estuary of the West Sea, he has increased financial investment in publicity, and greatly promoted the tourism and seafood catering industries.

  At the same time, it improved the treatment and status of human settlements in Barton County, and even creatively proposed a decree to build a [human-friendly city].

   Among them, the last decree to build a [human-friendly city] is particularly critical.

   Every year, it attracts countless young people from other countries who are curious about the city of Shangjing Tianren to visit and check in, so that the number of human tourists who linger in this city increases sharply and even exceeds that of Tianren.

  Anthropological sociology experts in some countries believe that the significance of Barton County’s decree to build a [human-friendly city] is no less than the policy of “intermarriage between heaven and man and human race” passed by the World Conference more than 500 years ago.

   In order to eliminate the racial barrier between heaven and man and human beings, and promote the harmony and stability of this world's cross continent, it has taken an extremely solid step.

certainly,

   There are also people who laugh at experts as farting.

  Who will you break down racial barriers with?

  As soon as this policy comes out,

  Is there any real nobleman in Barton County?

  The people living in Barton County now are just some half-breeds who can't get along with the gods and the down-and-out gods who are making money. The real powerful nobles have already moved to other states and counties or even to the capital.

  As for the so-called construction of a [human-friendly city], it is nothing more than a bone or two randomly dropped on the dinner table by the heavenly beings who have been in high positions for a long time.

  You really think that you have entered the room, and you are eating in the same bowl as heaven and man

  Then why don't you try it on the table?

   It is specified that there is no good juice to eat.

There are also some young people who have been to Barton County broke the news on the Internet about the unfair treatment they suffered there, angrily accusing that the so-called building of a "human-friendly city" is just a cover, and the place where the decree can be implemented is only the place planned by nature and man. In the set "circle".

  The man went to some other places out of curiosity when he was traveling, such as near the mansion of the nobles of heaven and power, but was arrested by the city security management patrol team on the spot.

   Without even a trial, he was thrown into the dungeon and locked up for three days and three nights. Finally, he contacted his family and paid a huge bail before being released.

   Human friendly city?

   Friendly ghost.

   It’s just that this kind of bitter and real experience is often quickly deleted by the people in the Internet security management department after the news is revealed, and some are said to be delivered to the door, which fully proves that the Internet is not a “place outside the law.”

   Over time,

   Few people dare to talk anymore, and there is still an endless stream of people who come to Barton County every year.

  Perhaps many people have also seen clearly and resigned to their fate.

   Just don’t go where you are not allowed to go.

  Even if a "circle" is drawn, it is the circle of the city of heaven and man, and the air quality is more than doubled.

  Come to play a trip to take pictures and open the social networking site,

   Isn't the force rising rapidly?

   In the morning, I took a ferry across the Bama Canal and passed the strict immigration inspection. After about an hour's drive, Higashinohara arrived at the destination of this trip.

  Barton County Coach Terminal.

  As soon as the car came to a stop, the people in the car rushed down like the brakes were turned on to release water.

  In less than half a minute, only Higashinohara and five people from the Mithril Society executive team of Stafford Private Great Sword Academy were left in the long-distance bus compartment carrying more than 50 people.

   Are you all in such a hurry to hurry?

   Higashinohara wondered, and after getting out of the car, he realized that the people who poured out of the car did not leave immediately, but were posing in various poses with the bus as the background.

   There is a young woman looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, half of her face is bright and the other is sad.

   It is estimated that if this photo is posted on social networks, the copywriting should be "I must go to Barton once in my life."

  After getting off the car, Higashinohara noticed with his eyes that the five members of the Mithril Society executive team gathered in the open space in front of the car. It seemed that they were not taking pictures but discussing something.

  Although he is somewhat interested in joining the executive team of the Mithril Society, the timing is obviously not right now.

  The main purpose of Higashinohara's visit to Barton County this time is to follow the address sent by the dusk investigation to see if he can repair and recast his two big sharp knives.

   Unexpectedly,

   After getting out of the car, he turned around and wanted to leave.

   Didn't take a few steps, but couldn't help frowning slightly, and felt a sound of footsteps coming from behind.

   Higashinohara did not turn his head to look.

  He still walked forward calmly, and when he passed a corner, he glanced at it, only to realize that the people following him turned out to be members of the Mithril Society.

what's the situation?

   Higashinohara was puzzled in his mind, but soon he realized that he would be wrong.

  —The other party is not following me, but seems to be going to the same place as me, and the destination is the bus platform outside the passenger station.

   It seems a bit coincidental.

   Higashinohara thought to himself.

   It's just that something more coincidental happened next.

  Get on the bus and pass by Haikou Station, Shashi Station, Cultural Center Station, etc.

  Finally, when the next stop was about to arrive at White Swan Harbor Station, Higashinohara found that several members of the Mithril Society were also leaning towards the middle door.

Um?

  They got off here too?

  Higashi Nohara is not persecuted delusional,

   But it's not that simple.

   If there are too many coincidences, there will be no more coincidences.

  However, he did not give up getting out of the car, and leaned towards the door.

  Although he didn't think it was a coincidence, he didn't think that a harmless young man would be targeted by the Mithril Order's executive team as soon as he went out.

   If they guess correctly, they just want to go to White Swan Harbor, and the target should not be themselves.

   Just something happened to the white swan?

  He secretly speculated in his heart.

  Next, as soon as the car stopped at the stop, the few people got out of the car with the flow of people.

   Higashinohara got stuck and jumped out of the car a few seconds before the door was about to close.

   Then I stood at the bus stop and took a look, only to find that those people were heading towards the coastal port of White Swan Harbor.

   Speaking of it, White Swan Harbor is also part of the construction of a "human-friendly city" in Barton County.

  Because of being near the sea, the policy is relatively looser. It can be said that it is an area with the loosest jurisdiction in Barton County, because the relatively free environment attracts a large number of human tourists every year.

  Even though Higashinohara didn’t know what the president of the Mithril Society was doing here with a few students who looked like cadres.

   But judging from the serious faces and appearances of those people, it is obvious that they cannot be built by a tour group.

   Higashino originally had his own affairs, although he was curious about it, but it was limited.

  Standing at the bus stop sign, he glanced at the direction in which those people disappeared, shook his head and still didn't follow.

  He took out his mobile phone and looked again at the location that Dusk had sent him a week ago.

  5-54 Ninth Avenue, White Swan Harbor, Bartonshire.

  The distance shown on the map from the bus stop where you are is about ten minutes away.

  Of course, if he let go of the speed, the ten minutes will definitely be greatly shortened.

  But when Higashinohara set foot on the land of heaven and man for the first time, he naturally did a good job of "despising the enemy strategically and paying attention to the enemy tactically". It's okay to think about using the speed system ability in the street.

  He waited for a week.

   Not bad for the time of day.

  But just after Higashinohara left in the opposite direction, not far ahead.

  Among the group of people walking towards the port, Felina, the deputy captain of the executive team, glanced at the figure behind her from the corner of her eye and couldn't help but said:

   "Strange, that guy seems to be traveling with us all the time, isn't he following us?"

   "Are you talking about that little boy?"

Someone in the executive team couldn't help laughing, "No, no, some of the people who came to Barton County from Maiji Mansion didn't come for White Swan Harbor. He must be sent to the dungeon by the city's security administration."

   "Ah this."

  Felina froze for a moment, then shook her head with a bit of a smile, "I'm overthinking."

   "I don't think your Excellency the vice-captain is supercilious, but because he looks handsome in others."

  Someone couldn't help teasing and jokingly said:

   "It's rare for us to take a cross-border long-distance bus, but there are also many people traveling along the way. Why do you only remember him?"

  Vice-captain Felina was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be quite handsome.

   Immediately her pretty face sank:

   "I think you are the one who deserves a beating."

  The president of the Mithril Association Kailutu von Caucasus frowned when he heard the words.

  He also had some impressions of that young man in his mind. Now that he thought about it carefully, he was surprised to find that he couldn't remember the appearance of the other party in his mind.

   This is not normal!

   Kailutu suddenly turned his head to look at the other four members of the executive team, "Have any of you seen what that boy looks like?"

  What does it look like?

  Everyone frowned and thought about it carefully, and then they looked at each other in a daze.

  At this moment, even Felina can recall only the charming curvature of the other party's handsome chin.

  Others only saw the side face, but they couldn't remember what the front face looked like.

   It is estimated that after a long time, I am afraid that even the arcs I saw will be forgotten in my memory.

   Kailutu shuddered slightly.

   This should not be a coincidence.

  The greatest possibility is that the other party slightly adjusts the orientation of their head and body every time their eyes meet, so as not to make people feel that their face is avoiding their sight.

  It's like the "sixth person" in the real world, with an extremely thin sense of existence.

  The ability level of the opponent is not necessarily higher than them.

  But the insight must be extremely strong.

   "It's not coming for us, is it?" Vice-captain Felina was suddenly worried.

Kailutu, the president of the Mithril Association, shook his head calmly, "We are here in Barton County this time to carry out a secret mission of the Condor Bureau, and the specific mission objectives are not even clear to us, and it is of no value to stare at us. , should be just a coincidence."

   Kailutu's judgment is rarely wrong.

  Everyone in the execution team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the words. If they were targeted at the beginning of the mission, it would mean that they basically ran for nothing in the past three days.

  At this time, someone in the executive team suddenly wondered, "But let's talk. Chairman, why is our first stop at White Swan Harbor?"

  The destination of White Swan Harbor was decided by Kailutu after they arrived in Barton County and got off the car. At that time, everyone did not ask the underlying reason behind it.

Kailutu looked at the white gulls flying in the sea and sky in the direction of the port, and said calmly, "I hacked into the backstage of the website of the Tourism Bureau of Barton in the car and checked the tourism records of Barton County during this period. The number of tourists received by White Swan Harbor has recently shown an upward curve."

   Several people couldn't help being slightly taken aback when they heard the words.

Vice-captain Felina hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help reminding, "But White Swan Harbor is a popular tourist destination in Barton County, and this season is also the peak season for caviar sales. More people shouldn't explain the problem, right? "

  Hearing Felina's words, the eyes of the other three members of the executive team returned to Kairutu, but they only heard Kairutu calmly say:

"But don't forget, the recent internal turmoil in the Judgment Department and the massacre of judges in Maizi Mansion, which is adjacent to Bartonshire, the city-wide martial law of the Judgment Department and the local police has made people panic, and there has been a blockade The local tourism industry in the city is suffering setbacks, and it would be good if the number of tourists received does not drop, so why is there still an increase?"

  Hearing Kairutu's cold and rational words, the four members of the execution team were all stunned.

   Obviously, they didn't take this into account.

  So that is to say, the abnormality in Barton County mentioned in the investigation task assigned to them by the Condor Bureau is likely to be the abnormal increase of tourists in White Swan Harbor?

   But what can this explain?

   "Could it be because of the upcoming World Conference?" Someone asked suddenly.

   "It's too early."

  Kailutu shook his head, and said coldly, "Take a step back, even if a country representative arrives early,

   But this is Bartonshire,

  The ‘conference village’ that receives the world conference delegations from various countries is in Baling County, more than 500 kilometers away. "

   ah this

   Did I remember wrongly?

  The man immediately lowered his head embarrassingly.

Kailutu glanced at everyone, and said solemnly, "You are all the elite of the executive team, but we haven't graduated yet, and this field mission is still safety first. If you find any problems in the next three days, report them immediately. Remember, it's a report."

"Yes."

  Everyone nodded in agreement.

   After telling everyone, Kailutu forgot to glance in the direction where Higashinohara disappeared behind him.

  Although he said just now that there is no need to care about coincidences, he always felt that figure seemed to have met somewhere.

  Where will it be?

  White Swan Harbor.

  Boom boom boom—!

   There was another knock on the door of a fisherman.

   There was a squeak.

  The door opened from the inside, and the woman holding the child looked at the person's clothes in surprise.

  Black and white checkered hip-hop scarf, blue mask, brown cap, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of the nose.

   Weather in April

  This kind of dress is somewhat exaggerated.

   "Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Kamado Tanjuro?" Higashinohara, who was hovering outside the door to complete the "one-key dress-up", asked politely without changing his face.

  He knows how weird he looks, but as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else.

  The woman holding the child also came back to her senses, stared at Higashinohara who was dressed strangely, and suddenly asked, "Are you here to make swords?"

Um?

   Higashinohara said in surprise.

  When he was wandering outside, he saw that this was a self-operated seafood retail store, and thought it would take a long time to knock on the door.

   Unexpectedly, the woman in front of her directly skipped the previous steps.

   Seemingly seeing Higashinohara's surprise, the woman couldn't help muttering to herself:

   "Yesterday too, I really don't know what you guys think, find a fisherman to make a sword."

  But she is very happy that her husband, a fisherman, can work part-time to earn money to support his family.

  Though the visitors yesterday looked scary, she was startled by the deposit alone.

   This guest

   Should be very rich, right?
