Chapter 31: Find the letter sent by the chapter
Chapter 31 Retrieving the Sent Letter
2028, April 9.
Daxia Magic City.
On a bench in Donghai Park, a young man in a gray and white jacket was looking at the street in the distance. The Magic City was prosperous, with a constant stream of vehicles in the central area under the night sky. All he could see were dazzling neon lights, and vague human figures flashing in the tall buildings.
Jiang He touched his cheek, with his monocle embedded in his eye socket. He was now in disguise with blond hair and blue eyes, but this disguise was slightly different from before, and the pendant that served as the medium for the mission had turned into ashes.

When the prompt tone ended, Jiang He reached for the briefcase beside him. There was a red diamond pattern on it with a cross in the middle. After opening it, there was only a wallet, passport, mobile phone, and a stack of information written on A4 paper.
The fingerprint successfully unlocked the phone password, and then he picked up the phone to take a selfie. The disguised image in the photo was very similar to the face in the passport.
"Rhine Augustus."
The phone was blank, as if it had just been shipped from the factory. The information was all in English, and there were so many professional names that Jiang He found it a little difficult to read.
"Weapons manufacturing expert, the information introduces a new exoskeleton auxiliary device and two low-cost assault rifles."
Jiang He focused his attention on the title of the document, on which was clearly printed the words "Maritime Trade Talks".
"The situation is quite vague. My current identity should be derived from the death row inmate on the island. The other party was wearing camouflage clothes before he was killed by a sneak attack. He may not be simple, but he doesn't seem to be strong either."
He opened the wallet and found three thousand yuan and a note with the date 1999.07.25 written on it. In the interlayer was a photo of Rhine Augustus and an unidentified middle-aged man.
"'Maritime Trade Talks' seems to be the key clue."
Jiang He packed up his things, left the park and walked onto the street. The noise and clamor were overwhelming. The population of Shanghai was over 20 million, which meant that any private operation would be much more difficult. Moreover, this was also the headquarters of the Eastern Region of the Order Bureau.
Jiang He lowered his eyelids slightly to feel the almost prying gazes coming at him. Out of his hunter instinct, he could tell the difference. One kind had warmth, which was the gazes of passers-by around him, and the other seemed cold, which was the surveillance.
“The Magic City is completely different from Anping Island.”
Jiang He began to actively look for the location of surveillance cameras, and in the next half hour, he entered the shopping mall, toilet, subway and other places in turn, and finally walked into an Internet cafe.
"If you don't have an ID, take your passport."
The proprietress of the Internet cafe was not surprised to see that the visitor was a foreigner. Shanghai is well connected with the international community, and tourists from all over the world can be seen here. The process was completed quickly.
"It's 30 yuan an hour outside, it's all on the other screens, how much do you want to charge?"
Jiang He was secretly shocked by the price, but took out a hundred-dollar bill without showing any emotion.
"Private room, two hours."
The proprietress reached out to take the money, returned the passport, and then continued to watch short videos with her head down.
There have been a lot of strange things recently, and the number of murders has exploded compared to previous years. A while ago, a fierce battle broke out on the Bund. The official explanation was that a director had made a new movie about the beach landing, taking the route of a real documentary. Yesterday afternoon, a blogger who had nothing to do and was counting the number of gas explosions in various places was taken away by his creditors just after he posted the video.
Jiang He took a casual glance and turned to the box. Not only the Great Xia Order Bureau, but also the information of the Origin Game all over the world was hidden behind the curtain.
According to Chu Fuqiang's personal speculation in the previous derivative mission, this relationship is similar to military and civilian technology to some extent. The dominant position of the powerful must be ensured in order to more effectively maintain the existing order. Otherwise, the underlying rule that players can plunder by killing can easily cause unpredictable chaos.
The first principle of the Order Bureau is order, because stability is suitable for the survival and reproduction of the race. Based on this principle as a consensus, all parties jointly established the Current Defense Council.
In the box, Jiang He turned on his computer and began to search for news about the "Maritime Trade Talks". During this time, he completed his summary of the surveillance.
"Considering the cost, the significance of deploying surveillance is to achieve the purpose." "First of all, it is public. There is a high probability of surveillance on the roads that must be taken in public places, such as subways and stations."
"The second is protection. The entrances of shopping malls and stores are basically under surveillance."
"The second is traditional sex. There is no legal monitoring of any place where the body can be exposed below the moral standard, such as changing rooms and toilets."
"Finally, it is inevitable that monitoring power consumption must rely on related things, most of which are located in high corners."
Jiang He summarized the four elements of surveillance. With theoretical guidance, he could avoid them to the greatest extent possible.
Not long after, a piece of news appeared before our eyes.
"…The International Maritime Trade Exchange Conference will be held at Xuanbin Hotel at 21:00 tonight. The Executive Director of Mexico New Bay Group is invited to attend…"
Jiang He looked through the list of attendees. He didn't know much about the Xinwan Group. He only knew that this behemoth was currently the largest gang organization in Mexico. At its peak, it had a private armed force of up to 100,000. It controlled the largest port city in central Mexico and was well-known in the underground world.
After a moment, a photo was locked, which was the middle-aged man who took a photo with Rhine's identity.
"Rodlev, former professor of weapons systems and applied engineering, has a similar major to Rhine Augustus."
Jiang He got up and left. The first part of the main task was closely related to the other party, the only difference was the size.
……
Magic City, Ningde Road.
Xuanbin Hotel is located on the street. The architectural style of the ground floor is similar to that of ancient Western churches. Climbing up to a high place, you can see the river rolling eastward. Several rows of searchlights shine from bottom to top on the outer walls, making it look magnificent.
Jiang He arrived at Xuanbin Hotel by taxi. He had no expression on his face when he got out of the car and took out the money. His gray and white jacket was now changed into a rented black suit. He made a special trip to avoid being kicked out, but the price he paid was that the funds in his wallet were cut in half.
Arriving at the door, the waiter was a handsome young man. He took a few steps forward symbolically and said with a polite smile:
"Sir, today the hotel has been reserved by the Xinwan Group. The employer requires an invitation to enter."
Jiang He patted his pocket and said frankly, "I forgot to bring it."
The waiter said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, I can't let you in without an invitation. It's my duty. I hope you can understand."
Jiang He thought thoughtfully: "If I force my way in, will you lose your job?"
Waiter Ying's face froze. "Please don't say such dangerous things. Security will be here soon. I also work out on weekdays. You can call a friend and ask them to come down and pick you up."
Jiang He nodded and started hypnosis. "The problem is with me. Can you point me to a way, like a fire escape?"
Waiter Ying pondered for a moment, glanced around, and whispered, "There is an iron gate next to the trash can at the back of the street. I am not responsible for that part. When you go over there, you will see a green sign. It is a safe evacuation passage. The iron gate is usually not locked."
After saying that, the young man stood back in his original position as the waiter, as if they had not communicated at all. He wanted to go in without an invitation, which must be a problem. Even so, he didn't want to cause trouble. After all, the monthly salary paid by the hotel was only enough to make a living in Shanghai.
Jiang He understood, "I found it myself."
"Many thanks."
