After breakfast, the five members of the "Old Tunes Group" simply put on a camouflage and went out to the gray off-road vehicle.
They plan to go to the place where they rented a car to change one, so that people who are "anti-intellectual" can no longer be familiar.
Long Yuehong, who was on the left side of the back row, looked out the window subconsciously, and found that there were vehicles coming and going on the road, and the surrounding shops were all open.
"I thought the army would take over today, with soldiers patrolling with guns everywhere." He didn't hide his doubts.
"Have you read too much old world entertainment materials?" Shang Jianyao on the right side of the back row said with a smile.
Although Long Yuehong didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that he made that judgment based on some old world entertainment materials.
Jiang Baimian in the co-pilot position laughed:
"Do you think that after Phocas caught the members of the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' and the people of the 'Salvation Army' in Varo's manor, he would quickly take action, contact other elders, mobilize troops, and control Varo's faction ?"
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be done so quickly that the other party wouldn't be prepared?" Long Yuehong expressed her thoughts.
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"According to the specific situation, maybe Phocas has not found enough support, maybe he doesn't want to launch a coup, maybe he really has nothing to do with 'anti-intellectualism', I feel that it can't be as this cult intended, and it is safer to choose A way less likely to cause confusion.”
Bai Chen, who was driving, also said:
"Any judgment is inaccurate without sufficient intelligence."
"Yes." Long Yuehong admitted that he was indeed led astray by some entertainment materials in the old world.
At this time, Genova suddenly asked:
"Aren't you going to be angry about it? Everyone's opinions have been denied one after another."
"Isn't this normal..." Long Yuehong suddenly stopped talking and turned to laugh, "No one can guarantee that their views are correct."
"And you can..." Before Shang Jianyao finished speaking, he saw Jiang Baimian, who had turned his body, cast his gaze.
Genova moved his metal neck up and down:
"So it is."
He seems to be building a new observational sample of human behavior patterns.
The vehicle drove unhurriedly and turned into the Green Olive District from a street that the "Old Tunes Group" had never been to before.
This time, they switched to a dark red but sturdy off-road vehicle.
Arriving at the hotel, Jiang Baimian saw at a glance that the boss, Hugo, with blond hair and slightly dark skin and a few wrinkles, was sitting at the front desk, eating black bread with clear water.
"Aren't you tired of eating almost every day?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
Ugo looked up at him and replied without any emotional fluctuations:
"Most people on the dusty soil would have something to eat."
"And you're not the majority of people." Shang Jianyao said with a smile, unconvinced.
Ugo's eyes swept across Bai Chen and others:
"It used to be."
He expresses his meaning succinctly:
This is a habit developed in the previous hard life.
Jiang Baimian did not let Shang Jianyao continue this topic, and asked in a chatty manner:
"Is there any 'no heart disease' in the last few days?"
"No, you can move back in." Ugo said flatly.
That is to say, the epidemic of "unintentional disease" this time has stayed at nearly ten cases in just a few days... Jiang Baimian sighed and entered the topic:
"Mr. Hugo, do you remember when we last came back?"
"Remember." Hugo didn't say a word.
Jiang Baimian asked in a serious tone:
"Then did you notice that someone was following us at the time?"
"Yes." Hugo answered again with one word.
Yes... Long Yuehong was surprised.
Really found a clue here at Boss Hugo!
"Have you seen what kind of person it is?" Bai Chen, who knew Ugo best, asked further.
Ugo glanced at the door:
"The stalker didn't get out of the car. He was driving a dark green modified off-road vehicle. After you came in, he parked the car far away. As soon as you went out, got in the car and left, he started the car again and followed behind. ."
"A farther place... How did you find out?" Long Yuehong asked curiously.
According to the team leader and Shang Jianyao, Boss Hugo had been at the front desk of the hotel at the time, and he could only see the area corresponding to the door.
Hugo glanced at him:
"I have surveillance installed at the door."
"..." Long Yuehong did not expect this to be the answer.
"Technology changes life." Shang Jianyao applauded and applauded.
Pong pong pong, Genova agrees deeply with this and echoes it with applause.
Jiang Baimian resisted the urge to cover his face and begged the hotel owner:
"Mr. Hugo, can we take a look at that surveillance?"
Just as Ugo was about to answer, his expression suddenly changed, and the muscles on his face were slightly distorted.
"I'll go to the bathroom first." He said very quickly.
While speaking, he stood up and hurriedly walked to the room behind the front desk, without waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to respond.
"Well, people have three urgent needs." Shang Jianyao expressed his understanding.
Then he asked aloud:
"Do you need my help watching?"
boom!
Ugola opened the door, rushed in, and responded to the heavy door closing.
Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong looked at each other, all at a loss.
The next second, Jiang Baimian recalled the sound of gasping from the room in front of him, the gasping sound of a beast.
"Recurrent illness?" she said in a voice that was muttering to herself.
Of course, her self-talk was enough for Shang Jianyao and others to hear clearly.
"Maybe I can't hold back all of a sudden." Shang Jianyao argued for Ugo.
Thinking that Ugo was in the room behind the front desk, Long Yuehong gave up the idea of arguing with Shang Jianyao.
After two or three minutes, the closed wooden door opened.
Ugo walked out slowly, his blond hair was slightly wet, as was his old linen shirt.
His face was a little pale, and the whole person's condition was not very good.
"I have a problem with my digestive system." Hugo explained casually.
"I'll just say it." Shang Jianyao looked relieved.
He then proposed:
"Do you need to see a doctor? Do you need special medicine?"
Ugo shook his head:
"Chronic diseases, don't get in the way."
Jiang Baimian didn't speak, and kept silently watching.
She found that Boss Hugo's condition was improving little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was just an episode just now.
"You can watch the surveillance now." Ugo took out a rather old laptop from under the counter, connected the line more proficiently, and turned it on to enter.
After finding the surveillance video, he put the computer on the front board, turned it around, and faced Jiang Baimian and others.
In the picture, a dark green off-road vehicle drove into the monitoring area after Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao drove the gray off-road vehicle and kept a certain distance from them.
"Yes, we drove the gray car at the time, and it was the same car that Xiaobai and Xiaohong drove when they were cooperating." Jiang Baimian found another connection point.
As she spoke, the visibly modified dark green vehicle pulled up to the side of the street as the grey off-road parked outside the hotel.
There appears to be dark film on the sides of the car, making it impossible to see who is inside.
But surveillance cameras caught the windshield.
It could be vaguely seen that there was only one person in the car, wearing a low-pressed baseball cap and black clothing.
When Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao left the hotel, they started the gray off-road vehicle, and drove forward for a distance. The car also restarted and followed.
"There is no license plate." Long Yuehong thought of the mature license plate system in the old world, and regretted for a while.
If there is a license plate, the "old tune group" can follow the clues.
Unfortunately, there were many relic hunters going to and from the city at first, and the scrapping rate of vehicles was also very high. It is not only troublesome to manage traffic by issuing license plates, but also not so practical. Therefore, the managers did not force all vehicles to have license plates. It was voluntary.
As for what to do if people without a license plate violate the traffic rules, the answer of "First City" is to equip the security guards who direct the traffic with strong firepower. Whoever dares to mess up will be warned once, shot twice, and bombed three times.
Of course, similar proposals often appear in the Senate. For example, each foreign car must pay a certain fee at the entrance to the city and receive a temporary license. The problem is that this cannot be linked with the vehicle owner, and it lacks practical significance. There are many foreign car owners None of them are citizens of the 'First City'. They have no identity here. Even if they report their names, no one can prove it is true or false.
To do this well, the most convenient way is to cooperate with the Hunter Guild and obtain the corresponding registration information, but the "First City" Senate has been reluctant to lower its head.
For them, the reason why this matter is often proposed is because they can collect a sum of money, which is equivalent to a disguised entry tax.
After carefully watching the surveillance video, Jiang Baimian did not find any useful clues for the time being, so he raised his head and asked the boss:
"Mr. Hugo, can we make a copy of this video?"
"Just treat it as the room fee you haven't stayed in these few nights." Ugo nodded.
Genova immediately stepped forward and started the operation.
At this time, Shang Jianyao asked another thing:
"How is Lady Mary now?"
Jiang Baimian immediately added to him:
"The child has the 'innocent disease' one."
Ugo replied plainly:
"I could still see it the day before yesterday, but it's gone in two days.
"In the Green Olive District, it's a bit difficult for most people to support themselves, and a crazy woman can't last a few days."
He paused and said:
"I hope she leaves this painful world in an easier way."
Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and others fell silent for a while.
