The night in the original city is not like Weed City, only one or two areas will be noisy. From different places here, there are sounds from time to time.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the city really quieted down.
After encountering the fourth patient with "no heart disease", the "old tune group" lost the mood to "walk" around, and went back to the "Ugo Hotel" after a hastily circle, and rested separately.
The next morning, after a recovery workout and a simple breakfast of energy bars and compressed biscuits, they decided to split up in order to hurry up:
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao went to the Zhao family's liaison officer in the first city to find out whether the suburban manors had changed recently, and then decided whether to carry out a preliminary and peripheral investigation according to the situation; Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genava went to the Hunter Guild in Primal City to sell them information about the abilities of the giant white wolf. At the same time, they inquired about Han Wanghuo's whereabouts.
After having two military exoskeleton devices and Genava, Jiang Baimian was more assured of the strength of Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
Moreover, the "Old Tune Group" will not inquire about the situation of the two descendants of Ole today, and there is almost no danger in what they have to do.
As for the company's liaison, Jiang Baimian had already made an appointment with him through an encrypted telegram for a time and place to meet in the evening.
In this way, Jiang Baimian drove the army green jeep and carried Shang Jianyao to the Golden Wheat Sui District in the south of the Red Giant Wolf District.
The Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genava teams will find a way to get another car, which is convenient for carrying two military exoskeleton devices in case of emergency.
Golden Harvest, Oro Street, Harvest Bathroom.
Jiang Baimian observed the surrounding environment and parked in the parking lot that was suspected to be attached to the bathroom.
This is not a big deal, because the urban areas to the east and south of the Red Giant Wolf District are not places that most relic hunters can afford to live in, and the security situation is relatively good. , the number one car "production" has always been the ruins, but those vehicles are often unusable and must be repaired or remodeled. At the same time, the occupational nature of the relic hunters requires them to have transportation. Therefore, the relic hunters must have transportation. Where they are not active enough, car ownership is not high.
Residents who live in similar areas may live better or safer than the relic hunters, but they don't have enough power for their vehicles, they don't have access to the few new cars, and they don't trust the relic hunters. Repaired vehicles towed from the rubble, always suspected that they will soon be completely broken.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything. Otherwise, who will sell the surplus vehicles that the relic hunters have worked so hard to get back
The Harvest Bathroom has only three floors, and the porch is held up by white stone pillars decorated with less elaborate reliefs.
At this time, the bathroom is not yet open, but after Jiang Baimian reported the name "Partner Mr. Zhao", he still met the boss Lanster smoothly.
Lanster was a taller man from the Red River, only slightly shorter than Shang Jianyao. He was in his thirties, with fluffy brown hair and bright blue eyes.
Wearing a black coat, he led Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to his office, while introducing the situation of Fengshou Bathroom in the tone of business talks with his partners:
"We have four steam baths, eight hot tubs, and four cold pools, all for men and women... We have dedicated waiters to provide relaxation programs... "
As Bai Chen introduced before, the bathrooms in the original city were often part-time brothels.
While talking, the three entered the office.
Lanster sat on the leather back chair and asked warmly and enthusiastically:
"Are you sent by Congressman Zhao?"
"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded.
The Zhao family has two liaisons in the first city, one bright and one dark, the bright one is Lawn, the owner of Lawn Bakery diagonally opposite the Harvest Bathroom, and the dark one is Lanster. Only the owner, the future owner and the specific executor can someone who knows.
Of course, this is just Zhao Zhengqi's statement. Jiang Baimian suspects that the Zhao family has more than two liaisons in the first city.
The reason they visited Lanster instead of Law was this: Two weeks ago, Law had no problem returning the estate.
Lanster was about to say a few words with a smile, when Shang Jianyao suddenly asked:
"Are you a follower of the 'Forge Cult'?"
His expression was unusually serious.
At this moment, Jiang Baimian's subconscious reaction was to raise his right hand and cover his face.
Because she completely clarified Shang Jianyao's "logic":
There is a "steam bath", and the core of the "Forge Cult" mass ceremony is a steam bath, so the boss here is a believer of the "Forge Cult".
According to this logic, the owners of most of the bathrooms in the original city were considered believers of the "Furnace Cult".
Jiang Baimian raised his right hand when he saw Lanster's expression changed.
The smiling bathroom owner's expression completely froze.
Uh... Jiang Baimian's right hand stopped in the air.
Lanster looked at the two back and forth, and asked in a low voice:
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Get up, leave the seat, start... Jiang Baimian didn't respond, and counted down in his heart "numbly".
At the same time, Shang Jianyao stood up abruptly, took two steps sideways, and twitched like a burn.
After dancing this weird dance, Shang Jianyao solemnly blessed:
"May the breath of the gods bathe you."
Lanster also stood up subconsciously and followed the dance that was scorched by the scorching breath.
After a few actions, he exclaimed in surprise:
"You are also a believer in the gate of the new world?"
Shang Jianyao nodded his head and explained seriously:
"Just a little bit.
"When I was in Tarnan, I set a date for my baptism, but when something happened, I had to leave early."
He looked regretful.
"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded in cooperation.
She didn't say whether she was ready to teach.
"It turned out to be a church member." Lanster breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder you know that I am a believer."
No, the blind cat just hit the dead mouse... Jiang Baimian mumbled and asked curiously:
"Did the sect ask you to serve Congressman Zhao?"
Lanster laughed and said:
"Do not.
"It's just a job, and I have to support myself and my family while living my faith."
"Is that so..." Jiang Baimian expressed his understanding.
Shang Jianyao asked:
"Is there a communion here?"
Lanster sat down again and shook his head:
"I didn't add this service for fear of being exposed, but believers in this district gather together in secret every week to share the sacrament."
"I don't know, can we participate?" Shang Jianyao hesitated for a while, but brought Long Yuehong and the others with him.
Lanster laughed:
"Just wait until the 'devotees' baptize you."
Jiang Baimian no longer gave Shang Jianyao the opportunity to change the subject, and turned to the topic:
"What happened to Congressman Zhao's manor?"
Lanster hesitated for a moment and said:
"The relic hunters I hired reported that strangers came in and out of the manor every day.
"They were afraid of exposing themselves, so they didn't dare to use a camera, er, they didn't have a camera. They could only draw those strangers from their memories."
As he spoke, he opened the drawer and took out a stack of papers.
Shang Jianyao took it excitedly, turned a few pages, and said happily:
"They draw even worse than I do!"
Jiang Baimian felt that this was not a bad problem, but that those portraits had no characteristics, and they could not recognize who was who.
Lanster did not bother with this question and continued:
"And the stewards of the manor houses I have contacted say that there are no strangers.
"It's only been investigated so far."
It seems that Zhao Zhengqi's investigation into the manor is through the open thread Lawen... Jiang Baimian thought and said:
"Can you create an opportunity for us to have direct contact with a steward of those manors? Without entering the manor."
"It's simple." Lanster smiled. "There is a steward named Zhao Shouren who likes the steam bath very much. He will come every few days. Calculate the time, he should come today."
"Really?" Jiang Baimian asked subconsciously.
"You can wait here, maybe you can see him at noon." Lanster pointed to the ceiling and said, "There is a room on the second floor to rest."
By noon, the Harvest Bathroom officially opened, but only two steam rooms, two hot pools, and two cold pools were enabled.
Not long after, Lanster rang the room where Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian were resting:
"Zhao Shouren is here, in the steam room."
"I'll visit him." Shang Jianyao smiled.
Lanster then glanced at Jiang Baimian:
"How about you go into the women's bathroom and have a steam? It's next door."
Jiang Baimian is also a curious person, and he pondered a little:
"it is good."
At this time, Shang Jianyao suddenly said a sentence:
"Be careful not to short circuit."
This ridicule... Jiang Baimian clenched his left fist, wishing he could hit Shang Jianyao's abdomen.
But she controlled herself, because after thinking about it, she felt that Shang Jianyao's words were a kind of concern.
Bioprosthetics will not short-circuit when exposed to steam.
Back on the first floor, Shang Jianyao entered the men's bathroom, took off his clothes, rushed down his body, and wrapped a large white bath towel around his waist.
He immediately pushed open the door of the steam room, only to see white mist lingering inside and steaming steam.
Vaguely, he saw a person in the corner, also topless and wrapped in a large bath towel.
Shang Jianyao walked over, sat next to the other party, looked at the water vapor emanating from the red-hot stone, and said with a smile:
"What a coincidence, you're topless, I'm topless, you're taking a steam bath, and I'm taking a steam bath, so..."
The man was stunned for a moment, looked sideways at Shang Jianyao, and asked in surprise and joy:
"Are you here too?"
He looked like they had known each other for a long time.
When Shang Jianyao saw it, he seized the opportunity and exchanged a few words to confirm that the other party was Zhao Shouren, and the relationship climbed all the way to the level of life and death brothers.
"I heard that there are a lot of strangers coming to your manor?" Shang Jianyao finally asked.
Zhao Shouren was stunned for a moment, and replied in a dazed way:
"No."
