long night fire

"Alexander, as one of the two giants of the 'Original City', the security force around him is definitely far better than General Phokas, only those who have already entered the noble class and can fight with the target, hehe, 'fight' into one's desire is the most holy The 'sect has a chance, and similarly, the 'anti-intellectual sect' has obviously infiltrated General Phocas's mansion for more than a period of time, and there is no shortage of location and people."

The "fight" she used to fight was the "fight" used by goblins to fight.

Shang Jianyao raised his binoculars again, targeting several public toilets in that area.

Jiang Baimian did not stop him, and sighed to himself:

"Fortunately, we didn't lose the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds. We will give up this side as soon as we find other clues."

While speaking, she kept observing the modified dark green vehicle.

On the one hand, she memorized the license plate number "A125" belonging to the Senate, and on the other hand, she paid close attention to the movement of the target.

The dark green off-road vehicle that was suspected to be sitting on another fake "priest" drove past the mansion of General Phocas, and turned left at the intersection ahead.

It circled more than half a circle and entered the back door area of ​​General Phocas' mansion.

It was the blind spot of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao's line of sight.

After almost 10 minutes, the modified dark green off-road vehicle reappeared in the eyes of the two, and drove out of the Golden Apple District from another road at a leisurely pace.

"The real 'priest' sent puppets to contact the 'anti-intellectual religion' lurkers in the general's mansion?" Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully.

Shang Jian Yao then sighed:

"The usage rate of public toilets in the Golden Apple District is not high."

It is completely incomparable with the green olive area, but the coverage of public toilets here is far better than that of the green olive area, almost every street has them.

"The real 'priest' is probably not here now, so why do he have to come all the way to go to the bathroom?" Jiang Baimian sneered.

She fell into deep thought immediately, and said to herself:

"If you were the real 'Father' and you were determined to participate in the plan to assassinate General Phocas, what would you do?

"Consider the style and habits of the real 'priest', not yours..."

Shang Jian Yao suddenly leaned forward slightly, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and forced a yawn.

"..." Jiang Baimian was almost speechless, "I didn't want you to imitate his appearance!"

Shang Jianyao straightened his body again, and put on a posture of thinking:

"The real 'Father' is a cautious and cunning man."

"Yes, if he is going to do such a big event, even if he is only a deputy, he will definitely have a clear grasp of all aspects of the situation." Jiang Baimian echoed, "From his point of view, what would I do? Hmm... Even if there is a puppet responsible for contacting, observing the surrounding environment, and understanding the movements of various aspects, I will not be too relieved, because the eyes of the puppet cannot replace my eyes, and the ears of the puppet cannot replace my ears. The information they collect is likely to be missed. A few key details...these are the inevitable thoughts of a man of extreme conceit and extreme prudence."

Extremely conceited, this information comes from the fake "priest" Guo Zheng in Weed City—his memory has only been slightly tampered with. Once the "hypnosis" effect is lifted, he will immediately know that he is a fake "priest" instead of insisting that he is a fake "priest". The real "priest", according to him, is because the real "priest" does not allow the false "priest" to become the real "priest", even if it is only in memory.

Similarly, the former fake "priest" Sandel also had a similar experience.

His tampered memory only covered up the existence of the real "priest", and gave him a fake scene of becoming a "priest". Once the business saw that Yao destroyed the "hypnosis" effect, he immediately realized that he was a fake "priest". ".

Shang Jian Yao thought for a while and said:

"Such a pompous and prudent man would probably do a site survey himself."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:

"He should make some observations to confirm the details, but there is a high probability that he will not come forward directly.

"But if you want to observe the situation yourself without directly coming forward, then you can only..."

Having said this, Jiang Baimian frowned.

Shang Jian Yao laughed:

"It can only be like what we are now!"

Use terrain and tools to observe and monitor in distant places!

This can also find out whether the puppet is being followed.

"Yes!" Jiang Baimian was suddenly a little excited.

She pointed to the floor and said:

"Will the real 'Father' be in this building?"

"Or..." She took out a hand-drawn map, pointed to a few marked points on it, and asked, "Among the high-rise buildings we have selected?"

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

Jiang Baimian ignored him, walked back and forth a few steps and said:

"We have to add the few buildings we excluded before. They may not be too tall, but they are closer. The real 'priest' is not like us, and we need to worry about being noticed by the 'anti-intellectual religion'."

As soon as she said this, Long Yuehong, Gnawa and Bai Chen entered the rented room after resting, ready to take over for them.

"Team leader, have you gained anything?" Long Yuehong could clearly feel that Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were in high spirits.

Jiang Baimian smiled and recounted the previous observation results and analysis and deduction, and finally said:

"The real 'Father' may well be closer than ever."

"Then how do I find out which building the real 'priest' is in, one by one?" Long Yuehong became excited and asked the most critical question.

"This is a method, but there are many buildings that meet the requirements, and there are many rooms, and it will take a lot of time to check one by one." Jiang Baimian said in deliberation, "It's just a waste of time, and the movement of checking one by one is not small. , I’m afraid of arousing the vigilance of the real ‘priest’, so I will scare the snake away.”

Bai Chen thought about it and said:

"Squat outside each building for two days, observe the people entering and leaving, and look for targets that match the appearance of the 'priest'?"

"The target needs to buy ingredients, buy refreshments, and definitely go out every two or three days." Gnava agrees.

"Why?" Shang Jianyao objected, "Anyway, he has puppets, so let them help buy them, and just send them over by relay."

Just like the fake "Priest" Sandel took the "Wolf Den" surveillance video before, changing hands layer by layer, covering up layer by layer.

"With the prudence of a true 'priest', after entering the observation area, there is a high probability that he will choose not to go out and let 'others' deliver the necessities of life. Hehe, anyway, the rooms in the apartments here are all equipped with bathrooms, er, they prefer to call them toilets. Room." During the process of thinking and analyzing, Jiang Baimian gradually showed a smile on his face.

She looked around and said:

"I know how to find out the real 'Father'!"

"How to find it?" Long Yuehong asked very cooperatively.

Jiang Baimian put away his smile and said seriously:

"Go to the junk room in those buildings and rummage through the contents.

"The real 'priest' has sleep disorders, and his spirit will be in a state of weakness. In this state, his tolerance to the living environment will be significantly reduced, especially when he tries to rest, he must be concerned about the quietness of the room and the corresponding smell. There are higher requirements, and now the weather is getting hotter, and the garbage has been piled up at home for a long time, and there will inevitably be peculiar smells. A real 'priest' should not let them stay in the room.

"Of course, the method he chose is likely to 'hypnotize' the neighbors and ask them to help him take out the garbage."

After a pause, Jiang Baimian concluded:

"As long as we find the cigarette butts of the flag cigarettes and the wrappers of the 'Ralphie' candy in a certain garbage room, we can preliminarily determine which building the real 'priest' is in!"

——In the fringes of the Golden Apple District, there must still be some people who eat "Ralphie" candies, but there are almost no people who smoke Banner cigarettes.

That belongs to the port, and belongs to the heavy manual laborers in the green olive area.

Digging through the garbage... Long Yuehong responded while imagining the scene:

"Yes, team leader!"

……

Posen, who was wearing a worn-out jacket, looked at the two men and women in normal clothes and wearing strange masks in front of him, and took a few steps back in awe.

He had been a scavenger in the Golden Apple District since the last fields outside the suburbs had been annexed.

This place is different from other districts. Residents often have food leftovers, which are thrown away as garbage, so that he can fill his stomach. At the same time, there is no lack of valuable items in the green olive district in the garbage. Posen can exchange some cards for this from time to time. Si or De Lacey.

"Don't be nervous, we're here to help you." Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a gas mask due to the smell, said solemnly, "It's a waste of time for you to read alone."

Posen didn't speak, but looked alert.

Shang Jian Yao squatted down, took out a few crumpled pieces of paper, unfolded them casually, and then threw them to Posen:

"I haven't used it much, you can take it back and make a record."

Posen didn't dare to pick it up, but hesitated to leave, because the garbage room in this building is likely to harvest food.

At this time, Jiang Baimian, who was wearing gloves, glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao:

"Do your own thing."

"Just by the way." Shang Jianyao emphasized that he didn't waste time.

Seeing that the couple got busy on their own and stopped looking at themselves, Posen hesitated for a while, summoned up his courage, and joined them.

It's not just work, it's life.

Chapter 64 Finding a Needle in a Haystack

Posen opened a crumpled paper bag to find a morsel of oatmeal bread and a dusty thumb of bacon.

He was overjoyed, and looked up at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, seeing that they didn't pay attention to him, he quickly wiped the bacon and stuffed it into his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, he ignored the complex and unpleasant smells around him, and bit the small piece of oatmeal bread.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the food would be taken away, he devoured it hungrily, and soon choked himself.

However, he was an experienced scavenger, and he skillfully removed the tin-white jug he picked up earlier, and Gulu took a few sips.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were rummaging through piles of garbage for possible clues.

The garbage that is packed into bags and sorted into categories is relatively pleasing to the eye, allowing them to inspect it efficiently, while the garbage that is directly poured into the bucket and mixed together creates a wet and sticky environment for fermentation. Rotten, the taste is very touching.

Hearing the sound of Posen drinking water, Jiang Baimian, who was wearing a gas mask, turned around and looked at the scavenger.

He was in his forties, his eyes were blue, his face was covered with traces of wind and frost, and the light yellow beard around his mouth was messy and messy, covered with a lot of debris and water droplets.

After swallowing the food that choked him completely, the scavenger raised his left hand and wiped his beard.

Jiang Baimian noticed that his hand trembled slightly and unconsciously.

After thinking about it, Jiang Baimian took off the rubber glove on one hand, and took out a photo from his pocket:

"Do you know this cigarette?"

That was Gnava's photo of the flag cigarettes.

Posen screwed on the lid of the kettle, pointed to himself with his left hand:

"You, are you asking me?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian replied in the affirmative.

She was about to say that she could pay a little reward, but Posen had already looked at the photo seriously and said:

"It's a Banner cigarette with a short, useless filter and almost tasteless smoke."

Compared with other cigarettes on the market at the beginning, Banner cigarettes not only have a very strong taste, which is close to earthy smoke, but are also famous for a very short and useless filter tip.

"Have you ever smoked?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Perhaps these two people did not grab the food they found, and they belonged to the type that could live in peace. Posen was no longer as vigilant as before, and said with a smile:

"Occasionally, I can find some cigarette butts from the garbage room, there are all brands, as long as they are not wet, I will pick them up, find a fire to light them, take a few puffs hard, and feel the taste.

"It would be even better if I could find some food and fill my stomach that day."

Posen has already discovered that the purpose of the two people in front of him seems to be different from his own, and the two parties do not seem to have a competitive relationship.

Hearing picking up cigarette butts, Jiang Baimian's eyes lit up, and he asked patiently:

"Do you know all kinds of cigarette brands?"

"I used to smoke some, and there are often discarded old newspapers in the garbage room, with advertisements for various cigarettes." Posen said with a little pride, "I know the words!"

Jiang Baimian immediately asked:

"Then where did you pick up the flag cigarette butts?"

Posen reflected on this:

"That time I went to the Green Olive District to sell all kinds of things I picked up. I picked them up on the road when I passed by the port. I was looking forward to it. The result..."

As a result, the customers of Banner cigarettes will take a few puffs of cigarette butts before throwing it away. In addition, the short filter design with no filtering effect can not block certain ingredients, and the residual taste is almost zero.

Jiang Baimian was a little disappointed immediately, and asked in confirmation:

"Didn't you pick up these cigarette butts in these few blocks?"
