long night fire

"No." Posen shook his head affirmatively.

Jiang Baimian changed his mind:

"So which buildings have you been to in the last week?"

She is going to use the method of elimination.

Posen thought about it carefully:

"Gade Building, Hearst Apartment..."

He said while pointing with his right hand.

Jiang Baimian found that his right hand also has some problems, not so flexible.

After taking down the name of the building of Posen Newspaper, Jiang Baimian stood up, walked out of the garbage room, and took out the walkie-talkie in a secluded place nearby.

"Gade Building, Hearst Apartment... put it in the second place, and check the other buildings on the list first." She gave orders to Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa.

After getting an affirmative reply, she put away the walkie-talkie and returned to the garbage room just now.

At this time, Shang Jianyao had already had a good conversation with Posen.

"Are you looking for something? Don't worry, the garbage truck will arrive in a few hours." Posen comforted his new friend.

"En." Jiang Baimian nodded, squatted down again, and put on the rubber glove.

While rummaging through all kinds of garbage, looking for food and valuable items, Posen laughed and said:

"There's often something interesting to discover here.

"During the previous winter, I found a bag of clothes in an opaque bag. Guess what are they?"

Shang Jianyao responded cooperatively:

"Coat, padded jacket?"

"No no no." Posen shook his head.

He smiled and said:

"There are a pair of dark blue socks, a pair of black leather boots, a pair of silk underwear, a pair of black trousers, a white shirt, a black waistcoat, and a black suit, the kind that noble gentlemen like to wear most, and They are all new, with no signs of mending."

"This sounds a bit weird." Jiang Baimian's thoughts changed, and he probably understood what was going on.

An aristocrat imitated Weller, the forensic doctor of the Hongshi collection, and comforted other people's wives. As a result, others went home early and blocked him in the house.

He didn't care to put on his clothes, climbed out of the window, and fled in a state of "emperor's new clothes".

In the follow-up, he either ran into a follower who was guarding nearby, or went to the sheriff in the name of being robbed, or followed someone else's clothes to dry.

The wife was afraid that the clothes and shoes he had left would be found by her husband, so she hurriedly put them into bags, lifted them up in the name of taking out the garbage, and threw them into the garbage room.

Just as Posen was about to respond, he found a half-rotten apple.

His eyes lit up, and he put it into the linen pocket he had brought.

After doing this, Posen smiled and said:

"Yeah, I can imagine a love story.

"Unfortunately, I dare not sell that suit in the Golden Apple District and the Red Giant Wolf District, so I can only send it to the Green Olive District, but it also costs a full 5 Ore.

"It was a wonderful month..."

Shangjian Yao listened with relish and expressed his opinion:

"That suit is worth at least fifty ore."

"50? At least 200!" Posen retorted.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him, nodded slightly and said:

"You seem to have received some education?"

"I'm a citizen," Posen emphasized, "and I was in the military."

"Then how did you become a scavenger?" Jiang Baimian asked curiously.

Posen was silent for a while and said:

"I used to be the one with the most accurate marksmanship in our battalion, and I made a lot of contributions. Later, in a war, my right forearm was injured, and my movements were not so flexible, so I left the army.

"At that time, I was allocated a lot of farmland, just in the southern suburbs, and lived a good life for several years, until the weather changed drastically that year, the grain production dropped sharply, and the Senate refused to help us...

"Later, I couldn't bear the debt, so I could only sell the land to a noble lord, and entered the city by myself..."

Jiang Baimian asked deliberately:

"Then why don't you become a relic hunter and seek a living in the wasteland on the north shore?

"At your age, there should be some fuel in the tank."

Posen showed a bitter smile:

"The day I found out that the interest on the debt was unbearably high, my left hand started to tremble from time to time.

"I can't use a gun with either hand anymore..."

After a brief silence in the garbage room, Shang Jianyao asked seriously:

"Then you hate the Senate for not helping you?

"Hate those nobles taking the opportunity to provide usury and annex your land?"

Posen's expression changed a few times, he lowered his head slightly, looked at the ground and said:

"Hate, how can you not hate?

"Hum, Jasper, Paris... died one after another before they got those lands back, but in the end they ended up in the hands of nobles who didn't take any risks in the war."

Suddenly, he raised his head and growled slightly in pain:

"We citizens died one after another to create the current 'Primary City', but they just want to deprive us of our land and send us to those factories!

"Most of the slaves in those factories don't even live for three years!"

After Jiang Baimian listened quietly, he exchanged a glance with Shang Jianyao.

For the first time, she felt the internal contradictions of the "Original City" so clearly.

……

Alpha Building, inside the attached garbage room.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong were also wearing gas masks, rummaging through all kinds of garbage together with Gnawa.

There are a large number of companies and chambers of commerce stationed here, and there are also apartments for employees. They were not on their investigation list today, but the situation reported by Jiang Baimian made them give up Gaide Building and Hurst Apartment.

"It's really a test of patience." Long Yuehong almost used the metaphor of finding a needle in a haystack.

Bai Chen looked at him sideways and said:

"It is this kind of place where it is almost impossible to find clues, so the real 'priest' can be careless.

"Hurry up, we have to finish looking here before the garbage truck arrives."

While she was speaking, the movement of her hands didn't stop at all.

——As non-official personnel, they must avoid when there are many people looking for garbage, so as not to overwhelm the enemy. At the same time, they must rush before the garbage truck removes the garbage. Otherwise, who knows where the garbage comes from after it is mixed together.

"Okay." Long Yuehong endured a little nausea and continued to work.

In this regard, Gnava has no discomfort at all.

As time passed, Long Yuehong picked up a thin plastic bag and dumped the garbage on the ground.

His eyes swept away, and his eyes suddenly froze.

There were several short-tipped cigarette butts in the rubbish.

It's the butt of a Banner cigarette!

Long Yuehong raised her head subconsciously, looked outside the garbage room, and looked at the 27-story Alpha building.

Chapter 65 appears

"Look at this!" Long Yuehong shouted with a trembling voice.

Bai Chen and Gnawa cast their gazes over, and fixed on the cigarette butts with short filter tips.

"Flag cigarettes." Gnava said with a red light in his eyes.

Hearing his words, Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he was worried that he had misidentified the item, and he was happy for nothing, but now he doesn't have this worry - Gnava must have said this sentence after rigorous analysis and comparison.

Bai Chen didn't say a word, but stretched out her hand to rummage through the pile of rubbish.

Soon, she picked up many items, including the wrapping paper of "Ralphie" candy, the empty outer packaging of tissue paper, and the residue of hand-ground coffee.

"The preliminary judgment is the real 'Father'." Bai Chen raised his head and looked at each other with Long Yuehong and Gnawa.

A little smile appeared on her face uncontrollably.

After repeated failures, disappointments, and exhaustion of energy, the "Old Tune Group" finally caught the fox tail of the real "priest"!

Really caught it!

Long Yuehong couldn't hide the joy on her face, and said quickly:

"Hurry up and ask the team leader and Shang Jianyao to come over."

In about ten minutes, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian arrived here and saw the "evidence".

Shang Jianyao immediately sang with a smile:

"Hey, I really miss you..."

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian stopped his performance, and said with a clear smile, "It's not time to celebrate, when you catch the real 'priest' or kill him, I will allow you to stand in front of him or his dead body." face, sing for 5 minutes!"

"I also want the small speakers and Lao Ge to sing together, with three-dimensional surround." Shang Jianyao put forward his own request.

Jiang Baimian exhaled, looked around and said:

"Now we can only say that we have achieved phased results. The next thing we need to consider is how to find the real 'priest' from this building."

"Pretending to be a sheriff, inspecting each household?" Long Yuehong once again looked at the 27-story Alpha Building.

There are a large number of employees of companies, chambers of commerce and people who rent apartments.

Bai Chen shook her head:

"I'm afraid it won't work.

"I suspect that there are a large number of 'puppets' in the building. They usually work and live like normal people, but when they find something abnormal, they immediately turn into the eyes and ears of the real 'priest'."

"Yes, this is unavoidable." Jiang Baimian gave a simple example, "For example, when we knocked on the door of this family and used the excuse of investigating the case to see if there is a real 'priest', the person facing him or diagonally Behind the peephole in the opposite room, there might be a pair of eyes quietly watching all this, and then remind the real 'priest' in the agreed way."

Gnava analyzed the answer accordingly:

"Excluding similar methods, there is only one option left.

"Let the real 'Father' come out by himself."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao applauded the intelligent man Lao Ge.

The red light in Gnava's eyes flickered a few times.

Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

"We had to create a scene where the real 'Father' had to come out."

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Genawa sneaked into the Alpha Building in disguise, and entered an empty room on the third floor.

Shang Jian Yao walked to the window, cleaned up the tables, chairs and benches, and did some treatment on the marble floor.

Immediately afterwards, Gnawa dropped a sack he was carrying, and poured half of the contents into the vacated area.

These are flammable and smoky things.

Immediately, Jiang Baimian put on the gas mask, struck a few matches, and threw them at the pile of objects.

Gradually, sparks began to spread, and the black smoke quickly filled the air.
