long night fire

"Fortunately, it didn't hit the heart directly. After that, as long as the doctor is qualified, you shouldn't die."

Hearing the words "the doctor is qualified", "Garibaldi"'s expression changed a bit, as if he was not so confident.

These days, there are really fewer qualified doctors.

Of course, thanks to the chaotic environment, there are more doctors skilled at dealing with gunshot wounds than qualified doctors.

Jiang Baimian then turned his head to look at Shang Jianyao who was squatting down:

"What's the gain?"

"It is said that it was instigated by a man named Old K." Shang Jianyao relayed the gunman's words.

Hearing the name "Old K", "Garibaldi"'s expression changed again.

Jiang Baimian didn't point it out, and instead asked him:

"Should we take you away and see a doctor, or leave you here and let the sheriff take over?"

"Garibaldi" hesitated for two seconds:

"Stay here.

"But remember to notify the company that I was shot."

Well, the company must have more than one intelligence agent in the original city, and "Garibaldi" has many companions, so we don't need to worry about it... Jiang Baimian quickly put all the tools for wound treatment back into his tactical backpack.

She and Shang Jianyao waited for nearly a minute before the sheriff arrived late with seven or eight men.

"Are you friends?" the sheriff glanced at "Garibaldi" on the ground, and asked in accented Honghe language.

He has an impressive body shape, except that the whole person does not grow up, but is extended front, back, left, and right.

He wasn't too fat, but his shoulders were thick and his body was as wide as a wall.

"No." Jiang Baimian, who had done the disguise, shook his head without hesitation, "We are in a roadside cafe, uh, that one, the relic hunter who drinks coffee, saw that this person was injured, so he came out to do it. Give first aid, sir, you know, this is an essential skill for our relic hunters."

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao nodded in agreement.

The sheriff who was like a wall looked down at "Garibaldi":

"Your first aid skills are not bad.

"However, I still have to go back to the police station with me to make a statement. Also, if the coffee is not paid, go back and make up for it now."

"We pay when we order." Jiang Baimian wanted to say that we are not the ones who eat Bawang's meal.

Shang Jianyao changed the topic:

"Maybe the boss will waive the order because of our charity."

He originally wanted to say "be brave to see justice", but for a moment he forgot what the corresponding phrase in Honghe language was, so he could only use "righteous deeds" instead.

The sheriff ignored him, and while leading two people to examine the gunman's body, he asked other men to ask the bystanders in the surrounding shops and the onlookers on the side of the road to collect more clues.

During this process, he did not forget to ask a security officer to drive "Garibaldi" to the nearest hospital.

"It's quite organized..." Jiang Baimian praised in a low voice.

She found that the "Original City" was not too degenerate, and there were still many talents at the grassroots level.

"Yeah, his most sensible move was not to respond to my words." Shang Jianyao agreed deeply.

Because all the witnesses confirmed that Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao went out from the cafe later to rescue the injured, so they were "driven" out of the security station after recording their statements, and they ignored the dinner.

They also learned that the sheriff's name was Wall, and he seemed to be a descendant of a noble family.

……

In the Red Giant Wolf District, in the previous rented house, the five members of the "Old Tune Group" met again.

"Who did it?" Long Yuehong asked impatiently.

"It was instigated by a man called Old K. I don't know why. Anyway, just report it to the company." Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "I think 'Garibaldi' looks like a personal grudge."

"He looks okay, maybe he robbed the other party's wife." Shang Jianyao made a guess.

Long Yuehong muttered:

"Not everyone is Weller."

Weller is the forensic doctor in Redstone, a playboy who once seduced his boss's wife and had to flee.

"But there are many such people." Gnava said truthfully.

Jiang Baimian cleared his throat, took out the papers given by "Garibaldi" and said:

"Anyway, it's none of our business, Old Ge, project it out, let's all watch this information together."

Because he had already browsed the test report of the cigarette butts, Jiang Baimian this time focused on the assassination of the real "priest" Elder Sols and the current political situation in the "Original City".

Sols was targeted by the "anti-intellectual religion" because he advocated civic education. As a veteran, he certainly does not lack protection, but the method of the real "priest" is still his habit of smacking east and west, turning the tiger away from the mountain, and waiting until Sols participates in public activities. After thinking that he was out of danger and relieved, he suddenly appeared, and under the weakened security force, he completed the harvest.

The key to the success of the assassination was surprise. The veterans of the "First City" learned their lesson and strengthened relevant measures.

Since then, several sporadic actions by the "anti-intellectual religion" have failed.

As for the current situation in the "First City", Jiang Baimian noticed that the contradiction between the reformist faction and the conservative faction has indeed intensified. The leader of the latter, the consul Beuris, wants to keep the veteran of Valo, while the representative of the former, Gaius, is aggressive. .

It was mainly two people who kept the two sides from tearing their faces apart. One was General Phocas who led the operation of Zhao's Manor, and the other was Alexander the Inspector.

Chapter 61 Telephone

"The target of the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' would not be the two of them?" Long Yuehong asked uncertainly after reading the information projected by Gnawa.

He feels that there are still too many choices. After all, under the premise that the conflict between the reformists and the conservatives is intensifying, the assassination of any elder on both sides, or the real power figure who has not entered the Senate, may lead to the outbreak of internal strife. A lit match was lost in the powder.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"It's definitely more than that, but I'm more inclined to target General Phocas in the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult'.

"Shang Jianyao and I encountered hints at the general's mansion that the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' had infiltrated there to a certain extent, and General Phocas was either one of them or the next target.

"Well, it is unlikely that Supervisor Alexander is the target of the 'Anti-Wisdom Cult'. He is one of the two giants of the 'First City', and the protection he receives must be the highest level. Even if the 'Anti-Wisdom Cult' dispatches all eight elders, it is likely They can't succeed. Their only hope is that there are traitors around Alexander, and there are ghosts, and we can't intervene in this. Even if they want to act as free bodyguards secretly, there is a high probability that they will be discovered and arrested as accomplices of the "anti-intellectual religion" .

"As for the other veterans, the sensationality of the death and the various reactions brought about by it are not as good as General Phocas's. Moreover, we don't have enough manpower to cover everything. We can only choose the most likely one and leave the rest to the company. Let's see if it works."

After listening, Shang Jian Yao smiled and said:

"This is fate."

This time, Long Yuehong probably understood what he meant:

The "Old Tune Team" who hadn't planned to return to General Phocas's mansion had to monitor there again.

At that time, if there really is a celebration banquet, Shang Jianyao will definitely not miss it.

Jiang Baimian didn't talk to Yao, nodded and said:

"Then formulate a plan to monitor General Phocas' mansion. The first premise is that it cannot be detected by the 'anti-intellectual religion' people, nor can it be detected by the general's security personnel."

"The key point is the public toilets in that area!" Shang Jianyao made a serious suggestion.

"Ah?" When Long Yuehong was a little dazed, Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen and Genawa turned their heads at the same time, looking at a page of projected information.

That was the laboratory report of the cigarette butt.

The saliva extracted from it has a component called "Ralfi" sugar.

It is a kind of cheap candy made from the rhizomes of plants nicknamed "Bai Chi" by Hongshiji and mixed with mint. It is not very sweet, but it is very refreshing and makes people sober.

The only problem with it is that it will cause a certain degree of diarrhea, and eating it is equivalent to "eating for nothing", and this is a negative effect, which is very popular in the initial city when the diet structure is easy to cause constipation and indigestion.

—The lower-class citizens who couldn’t afford “Ralfi” sweets regularly ate a herbaceous root called “rhubarb” as a stew on the table.This is similar to the effect of "free eating", but relatively softer.

Therefore, in order to refresh himself, the real "priest" often smokes banner cigarettes and eats "Ralfi" candy, which may cause him to suffer from diarrhea for a long time.

While this may sound gross and hilarious, monitoring the public toilets in the blocks surrounding General Phokas' mansion might actually pay off.

While Long Yuehong suddenly realized, Shang Jianyao had already imagined the scene:

"When I rushed to the toilet, the real 'priest' had already taken off his pants, his buttocks were bare, and he was squatting there, all he could do was stare at me."

Long Yuehong fantasized about it, thinking that the real "priest" might commit suicide in embarrassment.

"Be careful of being hypnotized by looking at each other." The honest Gnava didn't understand Shang Jianyao's humor.

……

Two days later, the "Old Tune Team" that had made the arrangement went to the wolf's den again before formally monitoring the surrounding area of ​​General Phocas's mansion, and handed over the rest of the introductory textbook of Gray Earth to Su Na and others.

"Study hard, there are some people on the gray soil who died tragically because they wanted to master the language and knowledge." Bai Chen looked at these women and reminded them in a cold tone.

She didn't mention the "anti-intellectual religion" person, that is, the true priest who caused the "wolf den" to be almost blown up before, but she hated the normal people who wanted to think and learn. This was because she was worried that these people hadn't fully stood still. Women with insecure heels.

"Yeah." Su Na nodded vigorously, "Actually, we don't think learning a language is hard. We can master words and characters little by little, and understand part of other people's meanings without a translator, which makes us very, very happy."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"This is the best way. I see that your fast food restaurant is almost ready, and the corresponding ingredients will be resolved the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Tomorrow is the day for the delivery of the Left Bank Manor.

When trading arms with Lehman, Jiang Baimian will add an additional clause: within three years, no matter who transfers the manor, he must sell the manor's output to Su Na and the others' fast food restaurant at the lowest price with only a small profit.

After three years, Su Na and the others either couldn't continue to operate in the original city, moved to other places, or changed other jobs, or they had already established a firm foothold.

Su Na and the others couldn't help exchanging a few words, full of anticipation.

Seeing that the "Old Tune Group" was about to leave, Su Na remembered something and said quickly:

"Ogg seems to be looking for you on something."

"Oge?" Jiang Baimian repeated the name.

This is the former boss of "Wolf Den", the backbone of the "Black Shirt Party".

With a thick beard, Ogg, who is no longer a little fat, just came out of the toilet when he saw Shang Jianyao with a smile on his face.

For some reason, he shuddered, and quickly put on a smile and said:

"good morning."

"I heard that you have business with us?" Shang Jianyao asked on behalf of Jiang Baimian.

Ogg nodded hurriedly:

"Yes. In fact, Boss Terrence II came to you and said that he had information about the Sacred Desire sect and asked you to meet him."

The Second Boss is a specific title for the "Black Shirt Party". In the gray soil organization, it is slightly equivalent to the deputy gang leader, but it has greater autonomy and is more like a partner.

Information about the "Holy Desire" sect?Jiang Baimian didn't say much, just nodded and said:

"it is good."

After leaving the "wolf den", she suddenly laughed lowly and said:

"The real 'priest' really lingers."

"Is there a problem with Terence?" Bai Chen asked sharply.

Jiang Baimian looked back at "Wolf Den":

"Since the real 'priest' has been here, it is impossible for him not to notice that the relationship between Ogg and the others and the gray earthen women like Su Na is wrong, and with his performance of tampering with memory, he can easily figure out that Ogg and the others belong to the ' The Blackshirts', obeying Terrence, became what they are now because of what happened.

"So, Shang Jianyao's 'reasoning clown' ability should have been exposed by the real 'priest'.

"And at this time, it's too coincidental that Terrence suddenly wanted to meet us."

She paused and said:

"I suspect that Terrence's 'reasoning clown' effect has been quietly broken by the real 'priest'. He is now extremely sober, and has gathered the strong men of the 'Blackshirts' and the clergy of the 'Beyond Spirituality' order. Set a trap for us and come back with revenge."

"Then, what should I do?" Long Yuehong was most afraid that the team leader would say that he would use his tricks and force the opponent, and he was also afraid that if he did nothing, the "Wolf Den" would be taken over by the "Black Shirts" again.

Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao with a smile:

"Let's talk to him."

……

In the Red Giant Wolf District, in a cafe that can make calls, Shang Jianyao, who had made a disguise, picked up the receiver and dialed the number of Terence's house.

The person who answered the phone was a member of the "Black Shirt Party", and he quickly found Terence, the second boss of the "Black Shirt Party" and a member of the "Beyond Spirituality" church.

"It's me, Zhang Qubing." Shang Jianyao directly reported his name.
