After lunch, everyone from Brest entered the hotel, including the drunkard who lived opposite the hotel. There was a bulge on his head and his eyes were a little bruised. These were two blows he received when he wanted to test the limits of Brest's patience.
For the drunkard, what happened today was extremely hurt. The house he built with his wife was burned down, all his savings were reduced to ashes, and even his favorite large puppet was burned down. He accidentally broke it. He felt that nothing could hurt him more. He had no future.
So, he planned to join the gang.
"Do you want to rob? Take me with you. I know the situation of most people here. The richest person in the town is the sheriff. I heard that he hid a small amount of money in an iron box in his police station. A gold bar is worth at least five hundred yuan! Also, there is a hotel on the way out of the town in the west. The owner is very rich and has at least three to four hundred yuan. As long as you give her fifty cents, she will help you take a bath. Do you understand? Let me help you take a bath!" The drunkard felt that this was an opportunity. Since he had nothing, he might as well follow this group of people to rob him, and maybe his life would take a different path.
But it's a pity that Brest's answer to him was two punches, so he didn't know what he said wrong. Not only was he gagged, he was also tied up and stuffed under the bed.
"The two rooms on the third floor are not occupied by Du Lin. There is a young couple living in 303, and an old man lives in 305. The only possible room is 203. No one came out during lunch.", Brest While sharing his intelligence with his companions, he asked for a room on the second and third floors, and then asked people to stand by the window at the end of the corridor to smoke. As long as there were people in these rooms, they would definitely come out to eat. thing.
Brest thought there was no way Dooling knew they were here and staying in the same hotel where he was staying. Once Dulin is discovered, they will kidnap him at night and leave the town under cover of darkness. When the money is obtained, Dulin will be sent to see God. With a large amount of money, they will soon become important figures in the Freedom Front. Even if they don't return to the Freedom Front, the money they got from Dulin is enough for them to spend a lifetime.
It is said that prices in the Federation are not high, and they may be able to start a new life journey there.
Brest tapped his finger on the tabletop where his elbow was pressed, and said with great certainty: "If nothing else happens, Dulin will definitely live in Room 203. My plan is to do this without alerting the local sheriff. Take him away with the people around him, and just leave him alone in the wild." At this time, someone asked how to take Dulin away, and Brest replied without thinking: "Of course it is forced. He, do you plan to ask him to leave with us?" He waved his hand, "I know what you want to say, I will assign you a task now."
"You, continue to stare at the corridor on the second floor. If Dulin comes out, knock on the door. If he doesn't come out, you don't have to do anything to alert him. He will definitely not show up easily."
"You, go get a carriage, buy or rent it, go to a nearby place that sells hay and buy a few bundles of hay. After we catch Du Lin, stuff him into the hay and leave the town. Even if the Sheriff or the local militia Patrolling at night won’t cause any problems.”
"You, go get close to the boss and find out if there is a spare key. If there is, steal the 203 spare key. If not, come back. Let's do an experiment with the door of our room to see how we can open the door without making a sound. . But I believe the boss will have spare keys, and we only took one!”
"you… "
"Hulu... Hulu..."
Brest suddenly closed his mouth, and the seven people in the room looked at the only bed in the room. Their eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the bed and see the person snoring under the bed.
"Should we kill him?" asked one person. "It's dangerous to keep him. He has seen our appearance and might sell us to the sheriff. Why not kill him now without any discovery."
There is a policy in the West that anyone who can provide a portrait of a criminal can get a reward ranging from five to five hundred yuan. At first, many people made up some so-called portraits to get the reward, and finally found out A wanted criminal often has several to a dozen looks, and those with higher reward rewards even have dozens of different portraits, which brings great trouble to the capture of wanted criminals. Later, the West decided to postpone the payment of the bounty and added a penalty system, which also ranged from five yuan to five hundred yuan.
This has caused many people who want to be free to stop and give up making money by selling portraits.
Brest thought for a moment and then shook his head, "He is still of some use, take him with you when you leave."
Brest is also relatively clear about the situation in the camp. It seems that there is no big problem at the moment, but he knows that a large-scale organizational attack will be needed to solve a potential crisis-supply. Now many places have refused to provide supplies, and both large and small-scale transactions have been temporarily suspended. This has given the Freedom Front its first crisis. If the supply problem cannot be solved, although they will not starve to death, many people will choose to leave.
What future can you have by following an organization that can't even afford food? Everyone joins the Freedom Front not for some bullshit lofty ideals, but to make money and enjoy life. But if the Freedom Front cannot provide these things, people like Brest who are not slaves will leave, and maybe after leaving, they will sell the Freedom Front to the state government or the military, at least from there. They can make a fortune.
But if there is someone who knows Wasiu Town very well, maybe they can shift the target of robbery from the mining area to this town. As long as they can capture this town, the supplies in the town will be enough for them to not need to consider supply issues within three months. After three months, the situation may not be as tense as it is now. At that time, it will be a good time for them to show off their skills. .
Brest turned around and was about to say something, but he forgot what he had just planned to say. He opened his mouth and said, "That's it, just follow the plan!"
At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps going up the stairs. This kind of old wooden house is not very soundproof. Sometimes the sound of the couple on the third floor studying the origin of human beings after dark can make the boss on the first floor... hear. The heavy footsteps made Brest's expression change slightly. He immediately stood up, opened the door, and walked out. At the same time, he took out a pack of cigarettes, held one in his mouth and stood by the window at the end of the corridor and took a puff.
He watched three people walk into the corridor, and one of them glanced at him, his eyes staying on his face for several seconds before moving away.
One of the three people looked so drunk that he couldn't even walk smoothly. The people around him were still laughing at him for getting drunk without drinking much. Brest hated this kind of people who insisted on drinking even if they couldn't drink. . At the same time, Brest also noticed that they were carrying two boxes for holding meals. The meals exposed inside made him smile slightly. He guessed right, there were people in that silent room, and there were two more people.
Du Lin must be inside. He watched those people enter 203 and waited in the corridor for a while. One of the three people just left again, but Du Lin did not leave. He put out the cigarette butt and turned to lie on the window sill, watching the man walk away before returning to the room.
"Du Lin is still in the room. There are at least three people inside. Now act according to the plan. Everyone move!"
Not long after, the person who arranged to get close to the boss came back. His expression was a little strange, "The boss is not here, the player is on, and I found the spare key of 203 from the counter." He also took out the key as he said. A key with a number plate was displayed.
Brest said nonchalantly: "Maybe that guy went to the toilet or got food. Don't worry about him. Just keep an eye on 203. From now on, will you continue to live a poor life day after day, or will you be rich and powerful?" It’s up to you to spend money tonight!”
Everyone in the room had expressions of anticipation that lasted less than half an hour.
Half an hour later, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, because Brest arranged for a person to watch outside and knock on the door if there was any movement. When the door was knocked, something must have happened. Everyone in the room jumped up from their beds or chairs. They pulled out the pistols hanging on their waists and walked quietly behind the door. Brest asked in a low voice: "Who is outside?"
The person outside the door didn't even finish saying the word "I" when he was interrupted by another voice, "I left my things in your room yesterday. Your friend said he didn't see it, but I think he saw it, no." If you mind, let me go in and take a look, maybe it’s inside.”
"Who are you?" Brest opened the door a small crack, and through the small crack he saw a man in his thirties. For some reason, his nostrils were itching.
He was looking at that person, and that person was looking at him. After the two looked at each other for a while, the person suddenly said, "Maybe I left it somewhere else, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation. Brest was stunned for a moment and quickly realized that he couldn't let this person leave!
He opened the door and walked out, shouting at the man's back: "I did find something in the room that didn't belong to us. Come in and see if it's yours."
But the man left faster and faster. The alarm bell rang loudly in Brest's heart, and he immediately pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the man's back, "You'd better stop!"
