Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 140: report

Views:

"Why?" Long Yuehong said she couldn't understand.

Jiang Baimian did not answer him directly, but instead smiled:

"After leaving a message for Chen Xufeng, I will go to the Hunter Guild and report that Lin Feifei may be the shooter's companion."

Long Yuehong was stunned when she heard:

"So, don't you all know

"We have no advantage..."

It is precisely because they have this information that they are able to lead all the relic hunters and discover in the shortest time that the matter may be related to the organization that promotes poisonous knowledge.

After a pause, Long Yuehong added:

"Will this scare the snakes and bring unnecessary accidents?"

Why should an investigation that could have been carried out secretly be made known to everyone

Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen, and found a strange question on his mind. One nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said:

"It's not something that won't happen if we don't do it."

Seeing that Long Yuehong was still a little confused, she further explained:

"Lei Yunsong and his group have been to the Hunter Guild and visited a certain high-level executive. During this process, it is difficult not to get in touch with the staff inside.

"With their looks and temperament, although they will not become the focus of the crowd wherever they go, attracting extra attention, they will definitely leave a good impression on some people.

"In addition, Chen Xufeng also found some people to help him find the traces of Lei Yunsong and the others in the city. These people also knew that Lin Feifei was Lei Yunsong's companion, and even encountered suspected targets.

"After Lei Yunsong was seen and his appearance was restored, it won't be long before someone can recall that he has a few companions."

Hearing this, Bai Chen interjected:

"The Hunter Guild should also scan the gunner's portrait into the computer to see if it can match any ruin hunter.

"It's their usual tactic."

And Lei Yunsong and his group stayed in the Hunter Guild.

Seeing that Long Yuehong gradually understood, Jiang Baimian smiled slightly:

"Since this matter will be known sooner or later, and it will not even exceed today, why can't we report it and make this money?"

Long Yuehong was speechless for a while.

After a few seconds, he hesitated and said:

"It always feels weird, like betraying a companion..."

Jiang Baimian laughed and shook his head:

"It's called fair use.

"On the dirt, there can be no moral cleanliness. In some things, you even need to have a flexible bottom line. Well, the most principled things must still be adhered to."

She sighed immediately and added:

"Since the paper can't contain the fire, it is better to spread the relevant information now, with the help of a large number of relic hunters, to find Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei as soon as possible, and seize the time with the hidden danger.

"After the gunman was witnessed, the group of people should have been mentally prepared for this and not overreact."

"Indeed..." Long Yuehong was persuaded.

At this time, Shang Jianyao said solemnly:

"And, most importantly:

"Those relic hunters are free and do not require us to provide compensation."

The reward is the Weed City City Defense Army!

Although Shang Jianyao's angle of entry was a little off the point, no matter it was Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen, they all nodded indistinctly.

Who doesn't like free labor

"Besides, we don't have much supplies. The ghost knows how long we will stay in Weed City." Jiang Baimian looked around and said, "It must be good to take the opportunity to earn some living expenses."

After speaking, she gave the order:

"We split up."

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen returned to South Street and walked back and forth near Hongluo Lane to observe the movements of the remains hunters:

The part who just received the task re-investigated the scene of the incident; those who had already questioned the witnesses took two sketches and asked the surrounding residents in turn, hoping to find new witnesses; they had been to the rooftop and found corresponding traces A few of them entered Hongluo Lane and went from house to house to ask if they had seen any suspicious people...

Looking at the room, Long Yuehong saw that in the "Old Clothes Workshop" at the entrance of the alley, the boss was sitting behind the cash desk, his head dozing little by little.

Inside the store, a man in a dark black tweed coat was picking out old clothes.

This man looked in his thirties, with black hair, blue eyes, and a particularly strong nose. He seemed to be a mixed race.

"I have business and I'm still sleeping... Waking up too early?" Seeing this, Long Yuehong sighed silently.

At this time, the man picked out the clothes, walked to the place where the money was collected, pushed the boss, and woke her up.

After they completed the transaction, Long Yuehong looked away and looked elsewhere.

On the edge of the central square, at a wooden bench.

Jiang Baimian took a pen, took his thigh as the table, and wrote on the sticky note:

"The gunman in the murder of Liu Dazhuang is suspected to be Lei Yunsong.

"Accordingly, we found the person suspected of Lin Feifei in Hongluo Lane and locked her place, but she has moved.

"She seems to have joined the organization that promotes toxic knowledge, please report to the company immediately and apply for the corresponding information.

"We will give this clue to the Hunter Guild, and claim that we have been hired before and are looking for these people. If you can, give us a 'credible' employer that will not involve you, if not, we will Just stick to professional ethics…”

After briefly explaining the key points, Jiang Baimian put away the pen, folded the paper, and stood up.

She said to the businessman who was eager to observe passers-by:

"I'll return soon."

"Go to the library?" Shang Jianyao asked suddenly.

"Oh, don't dismantle it, let me remain professional." Jiang Baimian's expression froze slightly.

Although she also knew the excuse for going to the library before and her concern about the fire incident in the library, it was hard not to associate with the businessman who had been following her, but it was still a bit embarrassing to be said so directly.

Shang Jianyao then closed his mouth and raised his hand to pull the zipper horizontally.

Jiang Baimian smiled, inserted both hands into his pockets, walked into the Weed City Public Library unhurriedly, and pulled out the book "Domestic Income Code" in a familiar corner.

This time, the first page of the book was folded.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian stood up the book and shook it a few times.

A folded piece of paper fell to the ground.

Jiang Baimian bent down to pick it up, unfolded it, and found that it was a notification from Chen Xufeng:

"Liu Dazhuang was shot, and the murderer is suspected to be Lei Yunsong."

"He knew it quite quickly." Jiang Baimian muttered to himself silently.

She immediately stuffed her piece of paper into the book, then unfolded the first page and folded the 650th page.

After completing this matter, Jiang Baimian pushed the "Domestic Income Code" back to its original position.

Immediately afterwards, she walked out of the library and returned to Shang Jianyao:

"Let's go, go to the guild."

She thought about it and added:

"You can speak."

Shang Jianyao suddenly smiled, and quickly opened the "zipper" on his mouth.

After coming to West Street and entering the guild, Jiang Baimian swept around and went straight to the window at the edge.

At this time, there were not many relic hunters in the hall, and most of them were still concentrated in front of the machines that could turn over tasks and accept tasks on their own. They did not go to the round platform area. Therefore, Jiang Baimian did not need to queue up and came to the man named Su Xiaoman. In front of the clerk.

"I'm here again." She greeted with a bright smile.

Such a tone, such a smile, made people feel happy at once, Su Xiaoman smiled back unconsciously:

"What's the matter this time?"

"I have new clues for Liu Dazhuang's mission." Jiang Baimian said directly.

Su Xiaoman blurted out in shock:

"So fast?"

It's less than an hour before the mission is released!

"Good luck." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "We took on a task of finding someone before. At that time, we were not even hunters in the guild. As one of the few people we need to find, the more I look at it, the more I feel like a gunman."

While speaking, she handed the photo of Lei Yunsong into the window.

"Why does this look like a guild's identity photo?" Su Xiaoman felt that this photo should have been taken when he registered his identity as a hunter.

She quickly called up Liu Dazhuang's task, and compared the photo in her hand with the shooter's sketch.

"It's really similar!" Su Xiaoman raised his head and said in surprise and joy.

Jiang Baimian pushed the remaining four photos over and said in a low voice:

"Here are the other people who were looking for it at the time.

"This person, we asked about it just now, appeared in the place where Liu Dazhuang was shot, in Hongluo Lane."

She pointed at the photo of Lin Feifei with her finger.

When talking, Jiang Baimian's volume control was not very good, and many nearby ruin hunters looked over, knowing that she had found useful clues.

This makes them both envious and full of expectations, hoping that new clues will help them find the right direction and get a share of the pie in the future.

Su Xiaoman took the photo and didn't dare to neglect:

"I'll report it right away.

"Give me your and your companion's hunter badges."

She deliberately blocked the photo so that people around her could not see it, so as not to be caught in troubled waters.

After submitting this clue, Su Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said to Jiang Baimian:

"The next step is to review whether the clues are valid, whether they are repeated, and how long it will take. I don't know.

"However, this is an urgent task. It should be very fast. We may have an answer in a while. Only then will we know how many Aures are given to you."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:

"It's okay, we can wait."

After taking back her and Shang Jianyao's hunter badges, she added with a smile:

"Remember to return the photo to me later, I have to ask someone with it."

"No problem." Su Xiaoman had just discovered that these photos were all from within the guild, and he could print as many as he wanted.

Walking to the edge of the hall, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao sat down and waited for the announcement of new clues.

After more than ten minutes, a person suddenly walked up to them.

This man was wearing a dark black thick woolen coat, black hair and blue eyes, and a high nose bridge. He was the "senior hunter" who had been respected by the guild clerk before.

Seeing Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looking at him at the same time, he said in a low voice:

"What did you find in that woman's room?"
