Chapter 138: Check carefully

After seeing the photo in Jiang Baimian's hands, Long Yuehong suddenly realized:

Since there is a suspected shooter of Lei Yunsong, it is very likely that there will be another shooter who is suspected to be Lin Feifei!

- The intelligence provided by Chen Xufeng showed that after the disappearance of the "Old Tune Group", these two members were suspected to have been seen.

Why didn't I connect these two things together? Long Yuehong couldn't help but raised her hand and patted her forehead. She felt that she was still prone to tension when encountering problems, and her thinking became less active.

Shang Jianyao was not at all surprised that Jiang Baimian took out the photo of Lin Feifei, and said in a tone that you have come this far:

"Where to start asking?"

Jiang Baimian frowned:

"Are you trying to say that you asked me to take photos of Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei before

"Can the current situation be the same as yesterday? Moreover, this is not a wide-spreading inquiry. Within a controllable range, you don't have to worry too much about spooking the grass.

"This moment, that moment."

Find someone again today to ask if you have seen Lei Yunsong, and there will be no hidden dangers. The ruins hunters in the whole city are looking for him.

But on Lin Feifei's side, she has to be relatively cautious, because she has not "exposed" yet.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to "justify", Jiang Baimian glanced at the shops in Hong Luo Lane and said first:

"Give me a watch."

She immediately walked to the position close to Huangjiao Alley, and then shouted loudly:

"Prepare."

When the second hand was close to the hour, Shang Jianyao raised his right hand with great interest and waved it down suddenly:

"start!"

Jiang Baimian lowered his body, swung his arms, and ran like a swift cheetah.

Long Yuehong watched this scene in amazement. Before she had time to think about what the team leader wanted to do, Jiang Baimian had already ran outside Hongluo Lane and stopped beside Shang Jianyao.

This kind of movement naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding relic hunters and passers-by, but they all looked blank, as if they were looking at a fool.

"How many seconds?" Jiang Baimian took a breath and asked aloud.

Shang Jianyao took his eyes off his watch:

"Four seconds."

It's not a digital watch, it's not a stopwatch, it can't be accurate.

"At that time, the shooter was still holding a sniper rifle, and there were many obstacles on the rooftop. Four seconds should not be enough, five to six seconds..." Jiang Baimian said as he came to the place where Liu Dazhuang was shot and fell, and then went to Hong Luo He took a few steps back from the entrance of the lane, and said to himself, "Give the shooter time to aim."

After standing still, Jiang Baimian raised his hand and turned his wrist, looked at the electronic watch, and walked into Hongluo Lane according to Liu Dazhuang's stride and cadence in his memory.

"One...two...three...four...five...six." Shang Jianyao counted there very cooperatively.

When six seconds passed, Jiang Baimian stopped immediately.

At this time, Long Yuehong vaguely understood what the team leader was doing:

She is restoring part of the shooting incident to determine the approximate location where Liu Dazhuang was discovered by the shooter's companion!

Jiang Baimian didn't do anything strange anymore, and greeted Shang Jianyao to pass by.

The relic hunters who were watching gradually turned their eyes away, and only a few were still watching.

They believed that Jiang Baimian was trying to reorganize the scene at the time of the incident, which had already been done by senior hunters, but found no useful clues and lacked sufficient value.

When he no longer received attention, Jiang Baimian smiled and said to Shang Jianyao:

"It is impossible for the shooter's companion to use the walkie-talkie to notify Liu Dazhuang as soon as he finds it. The other party will notice and change the route in advance."

While speaking, she walked a little further.

"At this position, if you turn your back and turn down the volume, Liu Dazhuang shouldn't be able to find it." Jiang Baimian stopped again and pointed to the street, "Take the photos and ask them."

She was looking at Long Yuehong not far away.

"Me?" Long Yuehong silently pointed to himself.

Jiang Baimian nodded and said to Shang Jianyao:

"Exercise a lot."

Long Yuehong took a deep breath, walked towards the team leader, quietly took Lin Feifei's photo, and then entered an "electrical repair shop" on the street.

"Hello, boss..." Long Yuehong greeted rather awkwardly.

The owner of the repair shop was a man in his twenties or eighteen years old, and he was a little dirty.

He replied without looking up:

"I haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it! There are not a hundred, but dozens of people passing by my door every morning, how can I remember it

"What Liu Dazhuang, I've never heard of it!"

Uh, some relic hunters have already come to ask... Long Yuehong understood what was going on as soon as she heard it.

In order not to let his "single-player mission" fail before it even started, he mustered up his courage and handed out the photo:

"I didn't mean to ask Liu Dazhuang."

In a state of nervousness, he didn't know what to think, and blurted out:

"Boss, I'm a man, and you're a man too..."

The boss raised his head in surprise and saw Lin Feifei's photo.

He immediately showed a clear look:

"You are also fascinated by her

"Where's the photo? You have a camera? This is a good thing!"

Long Yuehong was stunned for a few seconds before saying:

"Have you seen her?"

He actually saw Lin Feifei!

The team leader is really predictable!

Outside the store, not far away, Shang Jianyao, who was standing facing the road, suddenly said to himself in confusion:

"When did he learn 'The Reasoning Clown'?"

"It's called imitation, it's a crooked attack." Jiang Baimian sighed earnestly.

Finding useful clues from the beginning made her feel that today should be smoother.

Inside the store, the boss admired the photo and scratched his head:

"Just in the morning, not long after, when I opened the door, she was by the tree, blowing the cold wind, shaking a little, looking distressed.

"Hey, if I hadn't dragged my family around, I would have let her come in and wait."

Seeing that Long Yuehong had gained something, the whole person became excited, and asked as if he was busy confirming:

"Really her?"

"I've only seen it before, can I still admit it? I remember her mole." The boss pointed at Lin Feifei's left eyebrow in the photo.

Long Yuehong was relieved and asked:

"And then? Where did she go?"

"Isn't someone shot over there? Maybe she was scared, so she went back." The boss pointed to his right, "She may live in this yard."

Long Yuehong repeatedly thanked and exited the store with a sense of accomplishment.

Taking advantage of no one around, he walked over to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, and quickly repeated the clues he asked while returning the photo.

After finishing speaking, Long Yuehong showed an expression of admiration from the bottom of her heart, and asked curiously:

"Team leader, how can you be sure that you can ask Lin Feifei's clues here?"

"I'm not sure." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile.

She glanced at the ruin hunters outside the alley and explained quickly:

"If I didn't ask, it means I guessed wrong, so I will investigate in another direction based on the traces on the scene.

"There is a saying in the old world: make bold assumptions, and be careful to verify. When looking for clues, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Every mistake you make proves that you have ruled out a possibility and you are getting closer and closer to the truth.

"However, you can't do this on the battlefield. If you make a mistake, maybe there will be no next time."

Long Yuehong said in a "learned again" tone:

"I understand."

He no longer stayed, separated from Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, and returned to Bai Chen.

Jiang Baimian immediately looked at the yard where Lin Feifei entered, smiled and said to Shang Jianyao:

"It's your turn."

The target is the old janitor guarding the entrance to the courtyard.

He was in his fifties, wearing an army green cotton hat, blue top, black trousers, and brown cotton shoes. He looked very bloated and didn't talk about matching at all.

"Can I use my abilities?" Shang Jianyao didn't rush over.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian nodded, "Everyone here may have something to do with Lin Feifei and their 'disappearance', so don't be careless."

Shang Jianyao first sighed and watched it drift into white mist, and then walked towards the yard surrounded by the building with a little excitement.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance, smiled and said to the old guard sitting in the guard box:

"Master..."

The old man stared and interrupted Shang Jianyao's words:

"If you want to ask something, give the money first.

"You relic hunters are better than each other!"

Shang Jianyao's "reasoning clown" rhetoric that had been brewing for a while was immediately blocked.

He was not angry either, and asked cheerfully:

"Ask anything?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, always feeling that the guy in front of him was a little weird.

He thoughtfully replied:

"It depends on how much money you can give."

"Uncle, look." Shang Jianyao put on a bargaining gesture, "You are a man, I am a man, you want to take the opportunity to make some money, I also want to take the opportunity to make some money, so... "

The old man was confused and sighed:

"Hey, don't make it difficult for the poor.

"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"Have you seen this person?" Shang Jianyao handed over a photo of Lin Feifei.

"Yes, she's in the hospital." The old man pointed to the building next to Huangjiao Lane, "Did you see that? That building."

"What floor, what number?" Shang Jianyao asked further.

"I heard Old Zheng mention that in that building, she lives on the second floor, the innermost room is on the side of the gate, I don't know if it's right or not," the old man replied.

"Thank you." Shang Jianyao took out an energy bar and handed it to the old man.

In this way, even if the old man recalls after the incident, he will not suspect that he has fallen into evil, but will only think that he was bought by food.

Sure enough, when the old man saw the energy bar, he immediately smiled:

"no, I'm fine."

He said no, and took it.

With this deal, the old man did not stop Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian from entering the hospital.

When he arrived at the corresponding building, up to the second floor, Jiang Baimian did not rush to find the target room, but waited patiently for a while.

After a while, a prompt came from her walkie-talkie, and Bai Chen's voice immediately sounded:

"In place."

Jiang Baimian did not delay any longer, and walked along the aisle to the side by the gate.

Just a few steps away, she frowned:

"Both rooms are empty."

- There are two rooms in the deepest part, one by the courtyard and the other by Huangjiao Lane.

According to Jiang Baimian's judgment, Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei should live in the outer room, which is easy to transfer. Bai Chen and Long Yuehong went to Huangjiaoxiang to prevent people from jumping out of the window.

"No one." Shang Jianyao repeated Jiang Baimian's words.

Jiang Baimian immediately quickened his pace, came to the target room, took off a small tool hanging from the armed belt, and easily opened the slightly ancient lock.

The layout inside is similar to the place they rented, and it is also a bunk bed with tables, chairs and benches.

The room was cleaned up very cleanly, and at first glance, there was nothing left of the tenants.

"Abandoned this place?" Jiang Baimian did not slack, and searched carefully.

Shang Jianyao lay directly on the ground and looked at the bottom of the bed.

"There's a piece of paper," he said suddenly.

"What paper?" Jiang Baimian stopped.

Shang Jianyao took out the piece of paper and got up to unfold it.

The next second, he and Jiang Baimian saw the front of the paper at the same time.

It reads:

"Thinking is a trap, knowledge is poison...

"Don't touch the books anymore...

"Can't overturn the old world rebuke..."
