long night fire

"There is no problem with Benito either. In the future, you must cooperate sincerely."

Murray and Benito shook hands firmly.

"This is our contact information." Jiang Baimian tore off a note and handed it to Murray.

Shang Jian Yao asked:

"How much money do you have?"

"Seven or eight big knight gold coins." Benito replied.

"So few?" Shang Jian Yao looked disappointed, "As special commissioners of the Eighth Research Institute, you are so poor?"

Murray was a little ashamed:

"Seven or eight big knight gold coins are enough for us for half a year.

"Besides, we all ask Moore for our funds, and now his house has been taken over by the sheriffs of Fort Gerst."

Shang Jian Yao sighed and said:

"Seven or eight, just seven or eight.

"You see, we fulfilled our promise and did not harm your lives. You should also make some compensation for this, for example, six big knight gold coins."

Jiang Baimian did not stop, because since Murray and Benito were to be used as bait to catch the "receivers" of the Eighth Research Institute, they could not tell the sheriff Yergai their whereabouts in exchange for a bounty.

Without the five great knight gold coins as a bounty, the "Old Tune Group" will not know how to meet Gittes for a while.

You can't really use nuclear bombs or Gnawa as collateral, right?

Murray and Benito thought this was the case, so they each took out gold coins from their purses, collected six of them, and handed them to Shang Jianyao.

The rest should be enough for them to live until they are recalled to the Eighth Academy.

"Not bad." Shang Jianyao handed the big knight gold coin to Jiang Baimian, while praising Murray and Benito, "You have a spirit of fair trade."

Jiang Baimian put away the gold coins, thought for a while and said:

"You'd better make a disguise and move your residence.

"Should there be a spare safe house?"

"Moore has prepared two places, but they are not in this block." Benito replied.

"That's good." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief, "As soon as possible."

She planned to take Benito's portrait and information on sniper activities in this neighborhood to Sheriff Yergay tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to get some rewards, no, for some rewards.

This is worth a big knight gold coin!

After bidding farewell to Murray and Benito, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao took Gnawa and continued to check the wires and circuits of this unit, in order to convince the sheriff or other relic hunters who followed up to believe that they had nothing to worry about. did not find.

It took them about ten minutes to finish their work, return to the jeep, and share the situation with Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong frowned and said:

"So, the next plan is to wait for Murray and Benito to be recalled, and then follow them to the meeting place, capture alive the internal employees of the Eighth Research Institute who are responsible for picking up the commissioner, and get the information from the Eighth Research Institute from them. specific location?"

Wouldn't this be a little too simple?

Chapter 80 Shortcuts

Jiang Baimian in the back row laughed:

"It's definitely not that simple.

"If a special commissioner was caught, then brainwashed, and the internal staff in charge of transportation were caught, and the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute could be found, then they would have been strangled by multiple powerful forces long ago.

"I suspect that after the commissioner arrives at the agreed meeting place, before the internal staff in charge of pick-up arrives, there will be a round of secret review to confirm whether there is any problem with the returnee through a method similar to looking through the memory.

"Or, the Eighth Research Institute has been monitoring the meeting place and the surrounding area through the satellite that can be used in its possession. Once it finds something wrong, it will immediately launch missiles to destroy both the enemy and us at the same time.

"In short, we have to formulate a series of plans for different situations next, to see if we can come up with ways to bypass those restrictions."

This won't be done in a short while, even Jiang Baimian himself doesn't have a clue now.

In particular, Professor Qin from the Eighth Research Institute can clearly delete the corresponding memories on a large scale, and he has explored the depths of the "spiritual corridor". The scope of influence of the ability will not be small. Examining the experiences of Murray and Benito, it is difficult for the "Old Tune Group" to find out - the premise of being able to delete the corresponding memories on a large scale is undoubtedly that they can be flipped through.

More importantly, Professor Qin may not hide in the area around the meeting place. He can "ambush" Murray and Benito in advance on the return route, making it hard to guard against.

Long Yuehong didn't speak any more, and Shang Jianyao was also lost in thought.

When they got back to the "Fire and Iron" Hotel, Spander had taken over from Gittes and started working the night shift.

But Gittes, the intelligence dealer, didn't leave. She sat on the old sofa at the side of the hall, staring at the door with unfocused eyes.

She didn't know what she was thinking, so that when Shang Jian Yao tiptoed up to her, she suddenly woke up.

"How is it? Is the information accurate?" Gittes stood up slowly and asked.

Seeing Yao's answer was irrelevant, Shang suddenly realized:

"Are you waiting for us to come back?

"Afraid that we will renege on our debts?"

Seeing Spanter looking here curiously, Gittes lowered her voice and said:

"Eight big knight gold coins are not a small amount. It takes many workers two or three years to save up without eating, drinking, or raising children."

Immediately, Jiang Baimian took two steps forward, took out the six big knight gold coins, and handed them to Gittes:

"There are still two pieces left, and I will give it to you within three days."

Because the "Old Tune Group" has already paid the big bucks, Gittes didn't bother with this matter, put away the gold coins, nodded and said:

"You are very efficient and have completed the verification so quickly.

"Have you caught anyone?"

"No." Jiang Baimian shook his head sincerely.

They did not catch it, but had a friendly exchange with Murray and Benito.

Shang Jian Yao looked shocked, looked at Gittes and said:

"As the best intelligence dealer in Gerstburg, shouldn't you know whether we have caught the target before we return?

"So there are times when you don't know!"

Gittes was silent for several seconds and said:

"Remember to make up the balance within three days."

Shang Jian Yao was speechless.

Gittes ignored them, walked out of the "Fire and Iron" hotel in a sleepwalking manner, and disappeared into a place where the light of the street lamps could not reach.

"Which information did you buy that paid her so many gold coins?" Although Spant didn't hear clearly the conversation between the "Old Tune Group" and Gittes, he did see that they gave several big knight gold coins to his colleagues. , I was a little surprised and curious for a while.

Jiang Baimian laughed, walked over and said:

"We'll tell you about two big knight gold coins."

"..." Spant weighed his wallet and gave up unnecessary curiosity.

Seeing Yao approaching, Shang asked with concern:

"Is she short of money?"

"I don't know much." Spant shook his head. "I only know that her parents have been sick, and she often buys some medicines and biological agents."

"That's it." Shang Jian Yao nodded.

After chatting for a while, the "Old Tune Group" went back upstairs and entered the room.

They did not immediately discuss how to use Murray and Benito to lock the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute, but exchanged the next arrangement.

"Murray and Benito may be recalled at any time, we may not have time to go to Coning Meath." Long Yuehong glanced at Shang Jianyao and said.

As a result, the plan to track down the whereabouts of Shang Jianyao's father had to be postponed again.

"Perhaps the Eighth Research Institute has moved its headquarters to Coning Meath." Shang Jian Yaohun said indifferently, "I don't have any opinion on which of these two things comes first."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"The plan must be adjusted accordingly according to the specific situation. Don't rush to change it now. Maybe the Eighth Research Institute doesn't plan to recall Murray and Benito. Instead, it sends that Professor Qin over and asks them to cooperate. What about a white glove like Moore?"

This is entirely possible, and the "Old Tune Group" has a chance to capture a professor-level figure from the Eighth Academy in Gerstburg.

Such high-level people have a certain probability of knowing the exact location of the Eighth Research Institute!

Of course, he is not yet a member of the "Professors Association", Jiang Baimian does not dare to guarantee that he must know.

Bai Chen pursed her lips and said:

"In the next few days, while we wait for the news from Murray and Benito, we can continue to visit the rest of the people on Gittes's list, trying to get more information about feeding my father."

Three of them hadn't visited yet.

Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:

"Within three days, if Murray and Benito have not received an effective reply from the Eighth Research Institute, we have to consider secretly monitoring or even protecting them, because that means that the Eighth Research Institute may have to conduct a round of review first, Wait until you've verified that they have no issues before contacting them.

"Of the remaining three people on Gittes's list, Smith has not yet returned to Fort Gerst, and we have enough 'friendship' with him, so we don't have to worry about the visit being unsuccessful by then, and the vice order of the local Knights Chief Iman and Hunter Guild President Franz, I plan to buy the corresponding answer directly from Gittes."

"Ah?" Long Yuehong didn't expect the team leader to choose "lazy".

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Gittes's intelligence ability has been confirmed, which is obvious to all.

"Why should we waste time and risk the trouble of visiting Iman and Franz when we can get an honest answer from her for a big knight's gold?

"It's not too late to try again when the answers you receive are not satisfactory and you have doubts."

On the one hand, Long Yuehong felt that this was indeed reasonable, but on the other hand, she also thought that this was too much of a shortcut, causing the group to lose their subjective initiative. If things went on like this, she and others would become lazy, slack, and lack clear thinking.

But information businessmen like Gittes don't mean that they can be met if they meet them, there are everywhere... After some ideological struggle, Long Yuehong chose to accept this plan.

This is indeed the most trouble-free, most convenient and time-saving method.

"That would cost two big knight gold coins, and we still owe Gittes two." Bai Chen pointed out the biggest problem.

That is, the "Old Tune Group" has no money.

There was a moment of silence in the suite, and Jiang Baimian said after a while:

"When Murray and Benito confirm that they have been transferred to the safe house, we will pass the information given by Gittes to the sheriff named Yergay as if we found it ourselves, which can be exchanged for at least one big knight gold coin.

"Then, we took the opportunity to ask for some information to see if we can find clues about the Bodhi statue and get some rewards."

"What information?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Jiang Baimian smiled slightly:

"You'll know then."

……

The next morning, after receiving a telegram from Murray and Benito via Gnava, five members of the "Old Tune Team" boarded a jeep and headed straight for the Sheriff's Station in Fort Gerst.

This is inside the old castle, between the outer wall and the tower that is the main building.

Soon, Shang Jianyao and others met Ye Ergai.

The sheriff, who had already changed into a dark blue uniform, looked at the "Old Tune Group" a few times:

"Have you gained anything?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian took out the portrait, "We have already asked about the appearance of that sniper."

This is indeed what was asked.

Yeergai took the portrait and looked at it carefully.

"The sniper last appeared on the block of Moore's house, and he seems to live in the same apartment as Moore." Taking this opportunity, Jiang Baimian explained the experience of himself and others, "We found a Several witnesses, pretending to be members of the Electricity Safety Committee, went to check the house one by one, but failed to find the target, um, there are several rooms that are unoccupied, and no one opened the door."

Yeergai nodded slightly:

"I will immediately organize people to go over to investigate. If your information is confirmed to be valid, you will be rewarded with a big knight gold coin."

Jiang Baimian did not question, but instead said:

"Mr. Sheriff, we still want to copy some materials from you."
