Hearing this, Jiang Baimian burst into laughter and said:
"You are quite confident."
She then added:
"This is also a good thing, at least when we encounter difficulties, become depressed, and have no fighting spirit, you can still be full of confidence and infect the whole team.
"It's called idealistic optimism.
"Uh, did you ever say that?"
Shang Jianyao nodded:
"I don't mind your citation."
Jiang Bai gave him a blank look and walked out of the stairs.
She looked around and said thoughtfully:
"There may be some 'anti-Intellectualism' believers in this compound. People who warned Zeng Guangwang might also be hiding nearby."
Lin Feifei, who was "controlled", lived here, and Zeng Guangwang, who was warned and almost hanged himself, also lived here. If it was not a pure coincidence, it would mean that there were many "anti-intellectualism" eyeliners in this area.
Before Shang Jianyao gave his "suggestion", Jiang Baimian sighed:
"It's a pity that there are no photos, otherwise I can ask the doorman.
"House-to-house investigations are too labor-intensive, we can't do them, and it's easy to startle and bring surprises."
Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up and quickly said:
"I can draw the person who warned Zeng Guangwang, according to his description."
"That's fine." Jiang Baimian recalled the paintings Shang Jianyao had drawn, and directly denied his self-recommendation.
She thought for a moment and said:
"Go to the Hunter's Guild and find Odik. He might have a way to extract that person's image from Zeng Guangwang's dream."
"Hope." Shang Jianyao looked regretful.
The two walked out of the door at Huangjiao Lane, turned to South Street, and walked towards the central square.
Just as they were about to turn to West Street, a loud noise suddenly came from the side.
Boom!
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao made their own conditioned reflexes, one rolled and curled up behind the aisle chair, and the other crawled in place, pretending to be a corpse.
This is not to say that this can block bullets, but to avoid the sight of possible subsequent attackers.
After the explosion, the central square became noisy, screaming, shouting, and rushing footsteps.
Seeing that there was no fierce battle, Jiang Baimian left the hiding place and looked at the place where the explosion occurred.
That's the Weed City Public Library.
The glass windows of the building were all shattered, and black smoke and crimson flames came out of it.
The fire brigade not far from the vicinity rushed over quickly and used various methods to put out the fire.
Several people covered in blood were carried out one after another, some were still moaning, and some had stopped moving.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao, who followed him, and a term popped up in his mind:
"Anti-intellectualism"!
She looked away from the library, which was not too damaged, and habitually observed the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, her eyes stopped at one place.
At the junction of East Street and Central Square, a group of people who saw that the "alarm" had been lifted were watching.
On the edge of the group, there was a man in a black trench coat.
With his hands in his pockets, he was almost Jiang Bai cotton tall, with slightly messy short hair. He looked very thin and pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, or had not yet recovered.
Seemingly feeling Jiang Baimian's gaze, he turned his head and looked back.
His eyes are almost pure black, like an abyss that can bury a person's soul.
The corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an indescribable smile.
Then, he squeezed into the crowd and disappeared from Jiang Baimian's sight.
"Did you see it?" Jiang Baimian was silent for a few seconds, then turned to ask Shang Jianyao.
"I see." Shang Jianyao's arms were in a running forward position at some point, but his legs did not move.
Jiang Baimian immediately smiled and said:
"I thought you would rush over and beat him up."
Shang Jianyao gave Jiang Baimian a strange look and replied calmly:
"Can't catch up."
"Alright, at least this way, it doesn't reveal that you know he is a dangerous person." Jiang Baimian glanced at the library where the fire was under control, and sighed slowly, "I hope the books inside are not much lost."
This is the hope of many children in Weed City.
Just teaching literacy, a "temporary teacher" is competent enough, but if you want to learn more, you can't do it without books.
Jiang Baimian didn't say more, took Shang Jianyao, walked into West Street, and entered the Hunter Guild.
She was thinking about how to leave a message to him if she couldn't find Odik in the hall, when she found that the "senior hunter" was sitting in the fringe area where she and Shang Jianyao usually like to stay, not knowing who he was waiting for.
"We have new clues." Jiang Baimian walked over and said with a smile.
"Me too." Odyk, who was wearing a tweed coat, stood up.
"Are you waiting for us?" Jiang Baimian suddenly realized.
"You should wait at the door, so we can see at a glance." Shang Jianyao came up with an idea enthusiastically.
Odick ignored him and said directly:
"I have already asked which high-level executive in the local guild has seen Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei."
ask? I'm afraid it was found out by the ability of dreams... Jiang Baimian asked calmly:
"Who?"
"Tui En, Vice President Tui En in charge of hunter affairs." Odick pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor, "I'll take you to meet him."
Jiang Baimian didn't rush to mention the man in the trench coat, and winked at Shang Jianyao to get him ready.
Then, they went up to the second floor together, and in a small room with only a long table and a few chairs, they met Cui En, the vice president of the local Hunter Guild.
He was tall and thin, with a big nose and thin, but still black hair.
Shang Jianyao looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly asked:
"Have you dyed your hair?"
Trien opened his mouth, forgetting the organized language.
After a few seconds, he stroked his hair proudly:
"No."
"Is that so..." Shang Jianyao seemed a little regretful.
Jiang Baimian deeply doubted that he regretted not being able to recruit his life-and-death brother Fei Lin, the head of the "rootless" business group, to a dye business.
Odyk wasted no time, breaking the strange silence:
"I talked with President Cui just now. He met Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei about a month and a half ago."
Trin trusted Odick quite a bit, and there was no bodyguard by his side. He pointed to the chair opposite the long table and said:
"sit down."
When Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao sat down quickly, Cui En sighed and said:
"This matter, I didn't want to mention it at first, it has no value and will only bring unnecessary trouble and involvement. As a result, Odick found it out somehow."
"About a month and a half ago." The vice president recalled, "It was one morning, and my assistant told me that someone wanted to visit me and talk about a big task. I was fine at the time, and my assistant also said that they looked like A little background, so I agreed.
"Then, I saw the Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei you mentioned in the office.
"They don't actually have a big task to talk about, the purpose is to understand things about 'Mechanical Paradise'."
"'Mechanical Paradise'?" Jiang Baimian was slightly surprised.
This is a big force that completely masters the production technology of intelligent robots and many factories. It is located in Haiti at the southern end of the Jiushan Mountains.
It is relatively mysterious, and the transactions with the outside world are mainly handled by the robot army, and no other forces have entered their actual control area.
- "Pangu creatures" at the northwestern end of the Jiushan Mountains.
"Yes." Cui En replied with some doubts, "I don't know why they want to know about 'Mechanical Paradise'. For this, they are willing to pay a lot of money. Unfortunately, I have no contact with 'Mechanical Paradise'. Don't look at it. The halls are filled with 'Mechanical Paradise' products, but the president and the local president are responsible for the corresponding affairs, so I can only ask them to try to find a relationship to go to North Street and visit the president."
The president of the local hunter guild is the city lord Xu Liyan.
"No wonder..." Jiang Baimian solved a doubt in his heart - why did Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei enter North Street.
They went to the city lord's mansion to ask for Xu Liyan, the city lord and the president of the Hunter Guild.
Cui En picked up the white porcelain teacup in front of him and took a sip:
"I haven't seen them since, but I can be sure they left North Street.
"Because I was worried that this matter would bring unnecessary trouble to the president, I told my assistants and relevant clerks not to leak this news, and I don't know how Odik found out."
Evidently, Trin broods over Odyk's sudden grasp of the secret.
At this time, Odick nodded lightly, implying that Jiang Baimian and Cui En did not lie.
Jiang Baimian then looked at Cui En, smiled and said:
"We probably understand.
"It's really bothering you, President Cui."
"It's okay, if I can investigate the death of Liu Dazhuang, I will even express my gratitude." Cui En got up and sent Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others out of the room.
When he got outside and walked towards the stairs, Jiang Baimian smiled and looked ahead and said:
"Exchanging information again?"
"Okay." Odyk did not refuse.
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"We found a 'temporary teacher' who was threatened by 'anti-intellectualism'."
She ignored the cause and effect, described Zeng Guangwang's address and experience, and focused on mentioning that after the explosion of the library, there was a man in a trench coat with a similar image in the crowd.
"This style..." Odick's face gradually became solemn, "It is very similar to the 'priest' who was active in the 'prime city' before."
Shang Jianyao's expression suddenly became excited.
Jiang Baimian glared at him, told him to restrain himself, and then said to Odick:
"It's your turn."
Odick looked at the stairs in front of him and said silently:
"I didn't come to Weed City by accident, I was invited.
"I pursued Liu Dazhuang's death, not because I happened to meet him, nor because he was an intelligence dealer."
Having said this, Odick stepped into the stairs and left a sentence:
"He is secretly serving the city master."
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Baimian felt that all the clues were intertwined in his mind, and it seemed that he was not far from sketching out the answer.
