long night fire

In the early morning of the next day, it was early six o'clock, and it was still dark.

Shang Jianyao turned over and sat up, waiting for Jiang Baimian to wake up and tell himself what the solution is.

After a while, Jiang Baimian climbed down from the upper bunk and said to him excitedly:

"I figured out a way!"

Shang Jianyao looked at her, frowned and asked:

"Didn't you think about it last night?"

Jiang Baimian fell silent for a moment, and only then remembered what he said before Shang Jianyao went to bed.

She immediately laughed twice:

"As the leader of a team, stabilizing the morale of the army is always the first choice.

"Besides, didn't I already think of this?

"There are always more ways than difficulties!"

She put on a gesture of asking me what kind of solution I came up with.

Shang Jian Yao pondered for a few seconds, then asked:

"Did you stay up all night?"

"...It's not important." Jiang Baimian's expression almost collapsed, and he managed to maintain a tall and strategic image.

Shang Jianyao then returned to the topic:

"In what way?"

Jiang Baimian's smile gradually became brighter:

"Let Xiaobai cooperate with the investigation.

"But we can make some preparations in advance, let the investigation proceed under the expected scenario, and let the results be under our control."

Seeing that Shang Jianyao was still a little puzzled, Jiang Baimian added with a smile:

"Xiaobai did not attack Eugene, this is something that can be verified.

"As long as you use the 'reasoning clown' in advance to make her no longer think that we are companions, and you have not participated in the subsequent executions, or even think about it, then she can pass any investigation, including the possible means of awakening .

"Then, wait until the investigation is over and remove the influence."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian smiled like a fox who stole a chick:

"We can also choose the timing and have the investigators be people we know well.

"For example, Odick who is suspected of being able to affect dreams.

"Aren't you experienced in keeping people awake in a dream?"

Chapter 38 Double Effect

Seeing Yao suddenly became excited:

"But how can Odick be responsible for interrogating Bai Chen?"

In the dark room, Jiang Baimian walked to the window, looked at the silent alley, and said with a smile:

"It takes the initiative to create the conditions.

"You think, Xiaobai is very different from the attacker in terms of his image characteristics and the weapons he is good at. Moreover, he is a relic hunter with no background. Definitely at the bottom of the list.

"It can even be said that apart from having a grudge against Eugene, she had a chance encounter with him just before his accident, so there is nothing suspicious about her.

"Such people are usually not taken seriously in the scope of investigation by the way. We can wait for a while until the representatives of the City Defense Army and Eugene's gang disperse and investigate those people and forces that are more suspicious. Bai went to the Hunter's Guild and took the initiative to find her to assist in the investigation, showing his magnanimity.

"Then, she wants to emphasize that she only trusts the Hunter Guild and only accepts inquiries within the guild.

"In other places, this kind of request will definitely not be met, but Wild Grass City is different. The Hunter's Guild and the City Lord's Mansion are to some extent integrated. There is no essential difference between accepting inquiries at the Hunter's Guild and accepting inquiries at the city defense army headquarters. .

"At the same time, let Xiaobai emphasize that she is still running around for a living, and there are still tasks to be completed, and her time is very limited, so as to urge the Hunter Guild to send someone to question herself as soon as possible and start an investigation.

"Anyone who has been a relic hunter can understand this point.

"Then, under the premise that Xiaobai is not valued very much, and the city defense army and Eugene's gang can't find a suitable man for a while, the Hunter Guild will choose a person who is good at interrogation and investigation from the direct descendants or enough trusted hunters to be in charge. , is a matter of course.”

Shang Jian Yao listened carefully and nodded:

"It doesn't guarantee that Odick is responsible for Bai Chen."

In the eyes of the Hunter Guild, those who can accumulate credits and reach the level of "advanced hunters" are creditworthy enough to cooperate with.

"It's definitely not guaranteed, I can only say that the possibility is very high." Jiang Baimian smiled again, "Have you noticed that Odick has a tendency to abuse his abilities? This abuse does not mean that it is not necessary, right? The necessary person uses it, but, he seems to be very accustomed to using the corresponding ability to solve problems, even if the problem is not big, there are other ways..."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian was suddenly at a loss for words, because she thought that the next plan would also depend on Shang Jianyao's ability.

However, she quickly found a reason enough to convince herself, and continued:

"At that time, there were many relic hunters in Hongluo Lane, and there were many people coming and going. Odick even dared to put the owner of the 'Old Clothes Workshop' to sleep, so as to obtain the corresponding scenes and find clues. He was not afraid of being exposed at all. This shows that He is bold, highly confident and unafraid of surprises.

"Would such a person be restrained when completing other tasks? Will his hunter career records leave a reputation for being good at finding clues, breaking through the target's psychological defenses, and getting truthful answers?

"Will a person with such a reputation be the first thing the Hunter Guild considers when looking for a corresponding helper?

"We'd better confirm that Odick is in the guild hall before letting Xiaobai in.

"Hmm... There should be no one in the local hunter's guild who is good at this. Otherwise, Odick wouldn't have taken the lead in the shooting of Liu Dazhuang."

This is the description after excluding their group.

Shang Jianyao agreed, and continued:

"The only question is: Whether Odick is actually an awakener in terms of dreams and sleep remains to be determined."

"Therefore, two preparations have to be made." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "One is to prevent the ability of hypnosis and charm, and the other is to prevent the influence of dreams."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Baimian remembered something and asked quickly:

"Can your 'reasoning clown' stack effects?"

This is the heart of the matter.

Shang Jian Yao thought for a moment and said:

"I haven't tried it. It is theoretically possible, but the different effects cannot contradict each other."

"Then I'll try it later." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Jian Yao thought for a while, and asked again:

"What if it's the awakener's ability related to memory?"

He seems to have encountered one before.

"That's hopeless, and you can't manipulate memory." Jiang Baimian spread his hands, "If this is the case, Xiaobai's real memory is touched, and the corresponding 'reasoning clown' effect will be removed, um, let her first Time to ask for help, we rushed in to bring her and Xiaohong out, and drove out of Wild Grass City, and this required driving the jeep to the nearest parking place from the Hunter's Guild in advance, and putting all the supplies on it."

This is the worst possible scenario.

At that time, although Jiang Baimian made two requests to Shang Jianyao so that he could not affect the follow-up tasks, but when she actually started to act, she still did not stop her.

——Her original plan was to collect information first, and wait a few days before doing anything. In this way, the possibility of suspecting Bai Chen would be even lower.She could even intentionally leave clues in the attack to frame the hostile forces of Eugene's gang.

Who knew, Shang Jianyao's action power was terrifyingly strong.

She had no choice but to think: After going out of the city at worst, change the car, change the image and make a good disguise before coming in.

Given the current situation of Wild Grass City being mixed with fish and dragons, this is not whimsical.

All in all, helping Bai Chen vent her anger is more important than completing the task!

It's not that the company doesn't have other people available here, and it doesn't have to be the "old tune team" to do things.

Finally, Jiang Baimian concluded:

"Nothing has a [-]% chance of success.

"The most important thing is to be prepared to fail."

When the sky got brighter, Bai Chen took the initiative to knock on the door and expressed her thoughts:

"It's better for me and Long Yuehong to disappear for a while.

"This will not affect you and Shang Jianyao. You can continue to investigate the reason for the disappearance of Lei Yunsong and his team."

At worst, they would stay with Aunt Nan for a week or two, maybe even shorter.

"I have also considered this method, but now there is a better one." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile.

She explained her method, but she didn't explain it in such detail, so as not to affect the effect of the "reasoning clown" later.

Bai Chen thought for a while and said:

"You can try it."

Long Yuehong was a little worried:

"Will it be too risky?"

"I can only say that there is one thing, and then I have to check the confession with Aunt Nan and the others." Jiang Baimian did not forcefully persuade, looking at Bai Chen and said, "It's up to you to decide which one to choose. In short, you remember Stay a little longer, no matter which plan you adopt, there is not much difference between me and Shang Jianyao, the important thing is your own ideas."

Bai Chen fell into deep thought and said after a while:

"Currently we don't know what will happen to Eugene's 'disappearance'.

"If it comes to the extent of sealing off the city and searching houses from house to house, it would be dangerous to hide here. It's better to go through a clear road as soon as possible, clear the suspicion, and go to the shore to watch a show."

"Okay." Long Yuehong's thoughts boiled for a while, and she finally made a choice.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him with a smile:

"That's right, I'm getting bolder.

"Let's go out first, so as not to cause disturbance."

Soon only Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen were left in the room.

"Let's start." Bai Chen said calmly.

Shang Jian Yao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly became dark:

"look:

"Wild Grass City has many relic hunter combinations that you don't know;

"Jiang Baimian and I are also a combination of relic hunters;

"so……"

Bai Chen's eyes gradually became strange, as if he was wondering why he was in this room.

She looked at Shang Jianyao warily and said:

"What do you want to say?"

Shang Jian Yao entered the pre-expected role and asked with a smile:

"how much is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chen suddenly tensed his thigh and pulled out his right foot.

Shang Jianyao seemed to have been paying attention to this aspect, turned sideways in time, and avoided the kick.

"There won't be a next time." Bai Chen warned, ready to open the door and walk out of this place.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao shouted:

"Wait a minute!"

Bai Chen looked back at him with very unkind eyes, as if he would draw his gun and shoot if he said something wrong.

Shang Jianyao took out a piece of post-it note and folded it into little stars under Bai Chen's puzzled eyes.

Then, his eyes became dark again:

"I am a relic hunter, and you are also a relic hunter.

"I live with Aunt Nan, and you live with Aunt Nan.

"I have a paper star in my pocket, so..."

While speaking, he showed his hunter badge, and put the paper-folded star into his pocket in front of Bai Chen.
