"The biggest advantage of this hotel is that the boss doesn't ask anything." Bai Chen stepped on the brakes and pointed at the "Ugo Hotel", "and he has a good relationship with the sheriff in charge of these streets, so we don't have to worry about being suddenly arrested. Someone kicked open the door and searched it."
Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to say that we wouldn't do anything bad in the room, but thinking of the two military exoskeleton devices, she closed her mouth again.
As long as the sheriff finds those two items, even if they don't do anything, they can't clear the suspicion.
Of course, the most likely situation at that time is that the sheriff and his subordinates hold their heads at the same time, squat to the floor, and dare not say anything or ask anything.
While speaking, Bai Chen released the brakes and drove the jeep to the parking area on the side of the "Ugo Hotel".
"I thought the parking lot here would be underground." Shang Jianyao looked disappointed.
Jiang Baimian understands his feelings very well, because in the old world entertainment materials watched by the "Old Tunes Group" during this period, the parking lots in big cities are often underground, and most of the redstone collections in ruins are like this.
But in the beginning, a city with the largest dust and dirt was still so rudimentary.
Bai Chen parked the car and pointed to the east:
"There are underground parking lots in places like the Golden Apple District and the Red Giant Wolf District.
"When the original city was established, part of it was renovated based on the original buildings, and part was built by the citizens themselves on the allocated land, and there was no unified plan."
"No wonder the road conditions are not good, there are all kinds of house styles." Jiang Baimian sighed with emotion.
The Golden Apple District is located in the southeast corner of the original city, close to the suburbs, where the nobles live; the Red Giant Wolf District is in the center of the city, with the Senate, the Government Affairs Office, the Overwatch Council, the Governor's Office, the banknote printing factory, the mint, and the energy supply. The center and other institutions were the core of the original city. A large number of officials and citizens with certain identities lived in this area, and various businesses and companies also favored this area.
Entering the "Ugo Hotel", Jiang Baimian saw the boss sitting at the front desk having breakfast and dinner.
He looked like he was in his thirties and early forties, his skin was a little dark from the sun, and there were a few wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, his forehead, and his mouth, but he was not that old on the whole. His blond hair was still shiny, and there was no trace of paleness.
His dinner was simple, a plate of stewed beans and a rough piece of brown bread.
"Three rooms." Bai Chen expressed his needs in fluent Honghe language.
"Is there such a thing, that's it." Shang Jianyao suddenly showed a twisted look, "Five people can live together, how many suites are there?"
What's so shy... Long Yuehong muttered silently.
This is his idea too.
It's safest to live together!
The boss named Ugo shook his head and glanced at the five people in the "Old Tune Group" with light blue eyes:
"Big hotels only have suites."
Tarnan's proprietress, Aino, really has a business acumen... Jiang Baimian sighed secretly and said with a smile:
"Then three rooms next to each other."
"1 Ole per room per night, plus a deposit of 5 Ole." Hugo replied calmly.
"Stay for a week first." Jiang Baimian took out a stack of banknotes and counted 26 ore out.
The money left by the "Old Tune Group" was used up when they were in Weed City, and now Ole is all a gift from Shang Jianyao's good brother Xu Liyan, but it's not much.
Hugo counted the banknotes, checked the authenticity, and took out three silver-white keys with labels from the drawer:
"202, 203, 204."
There is no elevator in this hotel. After Long Yuehong and others took the keys, they went up the stairs to the second floor and opened the corresponding room.
"It's fairly clean." Jiang Baimian nodded with satisfaction.
The layout of the house is the same as most hotels, with two beds filling most of the space, tables, chairs and sofas in the rest, and a small bathroom attached.
After a short rest, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Genawa gathered in Room 202, where Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao lived.
"That boss's food is so bad. Was the first city-opening hotel so unprofitable?" Long Yuehong asked casually as she pulled out her chair and sat down.
That's someone who has a relationship with the sheriff.
Bai Chen shook his head:
"Even if he can't eat meat every day, it's not a problem to eat two or three times a week, but he's very frugal, to the point of being a bit self-abusing."
For her who was born in the wilderness, this kind of frugality is also almost abnormal.
"Maybe there was some psychological trauma..." Jiang Baimian touched his metal cochlea and made a simple guess.
She immediately clapped her hands:
"Let's hold a group meeting to unify our understanding of future actions."
Shang Jianyao dutifully applauded.
Unfortunately, no one cooperated with him.
Jiang Baimian looked around and said:
"Our main task is to find Maximian, the descendant of Ole in the 'First City', and see what clues he has left.
"According to the information collected so far, Ole's surviving direct descendants are only one granddaughter, Avia, and one grandson, Marcus, who live at 14 Round Hill Street, Golden Apple District and 57 Crown Street, Golden Apple District, respectively. No.
"Our plan is very simple, find opportunities to contact them and let Shang Jianyao make friends with them.
"The most important thing to note about this plan is that there may be a great danger lurking in the dark, and there may be forces that are erasing all efforts to investigate the cause of the destruction of the old world or the origin of 'innocence'.
"So, we have to be very careful, very careful, rather miss than risk."
Hearing this, Genova, a scholar and businessman, raised his hand:
"I have a question."
"What?" Jiang Baimian asked kindly.
"Since there are forces that are preventing all investigations into the cause of the destruction of the old world, why don't they just kill Avia, Marcus, or someone else and completely interrupt the clues?" reasonable development.
"Indeed, the laboratory in the ruins of Marsh No. 1 was blown up by Qiao Chu." Jiang Baimian nodded.
Slap, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slammed his left palm:
"I know why!"
Seeing that everyone turned their attention to himself, he said calmly:
"Aure didn't leave any clues at all, Avia and Marcus didn't know anything."
So what are we doing in the first city? Long Yue slandered with a red belly.
Bai Chen thoughtfully said:
"Maybe Avia and Marcus have been closely protected by the 'First City', and that force can't succeed."
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:
"This may be relatively higher. No matter what, the 'prime city' is the largest force in the dust, and it would be too embarrassing to be unable to protect even two people.
"This also reminds us to be more careful. Our enemies are not only the saboteurs lurking in the dark, but also the protectors of the 'First City'."
Having said that, she smiled bitterly:
"Let's take a step by step now, we still have too little information.
"Okay, the second thing that needs to be done is to contact the Zhao family's liaison, go to the manor on the outskirts of the city to investigate, and try to raise a fund within this week.
"The third thing is to go to the local hunter's guild and sell them information that the white giant wolf may have other abilities."
This will be corroborated by the various performances of Qiao Chu at that time, which is full of gold.
"The fourth thing is to contact the company's intelligence officer in the first city. The fifth thing is to find Han Wanghuo, we have to observe him. The sixth thing is to visit Bai Xiao and Lin Tong's team, they still owe us a meal Dinner..." Shang Jianyao helped Jiang Baimian make up the rest of the arrangements.
Jiang Baimian made a "heh":
"You are right!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from somewhere.
Shang Jianyao leaned over to the window and looked out, but because it was on the second floor and was blocked by many buildings and obstacles, he could only see people coming and going on the street.
As for vehicles, not too many, mainly bicycles.
"Go down and ask." Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds.
The "Old Tune Team" and a group of five quickly returned to the lobby of the "Ugo Hotel" and found that the boss was also standing at the door, looking into the distance.
"What happened?" Bai Chen stepped forward and asked.
Hugo said with a slightly complicated expression:
"In the past week, these streets, the third 'no heart disease'."
As soon as he finished speaking, the loud speaker on the telephone pole outside suddenly sounded:
"Because of water shortages, the water will be cut off after 7 o'clock tonight, and come at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
