Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 449 Progress

Seeing Long Yue Hong froze there, holding it in for a long time and unable to say a word, Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Relax, this is not an urgent matter, you can think about it slowly."

Long Yuehong looked around and found that no one wanted to urge her. Even Shang Jianyao was just looking at the scene on the street idly.

His anxious state was relieved, and he began to recall the information he had obtained before.

"Old Han has a heart problem and is looking for a suitable organ transplant...

"He used to live near the black market on Antana Street...

"Yes, the black market is the most likely place to get human organs. Unless there are other accidents, Old Han will not move easily, and he will move to the Red Giant Wolf District where the rent is more expensive..."

As thoughts emerged one by one, Long Yuehong vaguely grasped the direction of pursuit.

He opened his mouth, considered it and said:

"Old Han should come here to do business... Antana Street is not close to here, it may take half an hour to walk. Yes, he has a car, he will definitely choose to drive here, and since it is open The car must be parked as close as possible..."

The more Long Yuehong talked, the smoother and smoother she became, and she even felt like her thoughts were agitated.

At this time, Jiang Baimian smiled and made a small mistake:

"That's not necessarily the case. If Han didn't want others to remember his car, he would choose to park it a little farther away."

"Yeah, but it's not too far." Long Yuehong nodded slightly, her tone gradually becoming more certain, "In other words, since we saw Old Han walking, it means that the place where he parked his car is nearby. His destination is also nearby."

In this way, the scope of investigation is greatly reduced.

Long Yuehong looked at the alley where Han Wanghuo disappeared, and said with surprise like discovering a new world:

“There’s no way to get through there!”

He seemed to have found the reason why Han Wanghuo did not park the vehicle directly outside the target location.

The last part of the road is not open to traffic!

Once this guess was made, it became obvious where Han Wanghuo was going:

Several communities and apartment buildings in that alley!

The scope of the investigation has been narrowed again to a less troublesome level.

Jiang Baimian showed a happy smile:

"Yes, make bold assumptions and verify carefully. You will be in charge of what to do next."

"Shall I come?" Long Yuehong was surprised and worried at the same time.

He was surprised because he was praised and his ability to analyze problems was recognized by the team leader, but he was worried because he was worried that he would not be able to lead a task well.

"Yes, now you are the leader of Longyue Red Dragon." Jiang Baimian smiled and joked.

Then, she pointed at Shang Jianyao:

"If this guy doesn't listen to you, slap him."

"Yes!" Shang Jianyao said, "Come and give it a try."

Of course Long Yuehong would not take it seriously, she calmed down and said:

"We separately asked the security guards, doormen or vendors at the entrances and exits of those communities and apartment buildings to see if they had seen Lao Han."

"Okay." Bai Chen was the first to respond.

"Yes, team leader!" If it weren't for environmental restrictions, Shang Jianyao would definitely be very loud.

After working in groups, they had gained something in less than a quarter of an hour.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen found the doorman of an apartment and used 1 Ole to learn an important clue from him:

He had seen someone similar to Han Wanghuo, who entered the opposite community with a short and thin woman.

"Woman?" After hearing Long Yuehong's description, Jiang Baimian repeated in surprise and amusement, "Has Han dared to face up to his subhuman status and is he willing to be honest with a woman?"

"Maybe he just chose not to take off his clothes." In the "Old Tune Group", the only carbon-based person in the "Old Tune Group" who could discuss similar topics without changing his face was Bai Chen.

Gnava is okay, but he is an intelligent person, with no expression or face.

"Purely a collaborator?" Long Yuehong raised another possibility.

"Organ provider?" Shang Jianyao touched his chin.

Long Yuehong imagined:

"Isn't this too scary?"

Who wants to have a real relationship with an organ provider?

Will you not have nightmares after this?

Jiang Baimian was about to clap his hands and say, "Okay, we'll find out if we go in and ask," when he suddenly remembered that he was just an ordinary member of the group, Dabai, and had to shut his mouth again.

Seeing the half-smiling expression of the team leader, Long Yuehong remembered that this was her mission:

"Let's go into that community and ask people. Well, pay attention to the reactions of those people. I'm afraid they will tip off the news."

It looks impressive... Jiang Baimian chuckled secretly and praised it in his heart.

After a lot of work, the "old tune team" found several witnesses and confirmed that Han Wanghuo and the woman entered Building 3.

Then, Long Yuehong made arrangements again:

Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen guarded the front door, while Gnawa monitored the area behind to prevent suspicious people from noticing the movement and leaving in a hurry.

He and Shang Jianyao entered Building 3 and checked each house one by one.

After going up to the fourth floor and knocking on one of the rooms, they saw a strong-looking man.

"What's the matter?" the man asked with confusion and vigilance.

He is from Red River.

"Have you ever seen such a person?" Long Yuehong took out Han Wanghuo's portrait.

The man's expression changed slightly and he immediately shook his head.

"You've seen it before." Shang Jianyao smiled and explained.

The man was stunned for a few seconds and said:

"Yes, I have seen it. What do you want to ask?"

"What does he want from you?" Long Yuehong felt happy and blurted out.

The task he led finally bore fruit, and the process was quite easy!

The man frowned slightly and said:

"He wanted to invite me to participate in a mission, saying it was more dangerous, but I refused. Haha, I don't want to take risks anymore, I only do things that are safe."

"What mission?" Long Yuehong asked slightly confused.

"I didn't ask. If I asked, I might not be able to refuse." The man was very clear-minded. "I don't know where he lives. We just knew each other before and worked together a few times."

Suddenly, Shang Jianyao lowered his voice and asked gossipyly:

"Did he bring a female companion with him?"

"Yeah." The man said not quite understanding, "A sick woman. How can she be a teammate? Although her illness makes her willing to take on the mission, her combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed."

Sick... Long Yuehong vaguely understood something.

After leaving the community and returning to the car, he reported the harvest to Jiang Baimian, Gnawa and Bai Chen.

Jiang Baimian sighed and said:

"Is Han taking a risk to raise the cost of organ transplantation? Does that woman have similar troubles?

"Hey, the clues have been temporarily cut off. I can only go back to the Hunter Guild to see if there are any high-value tasks."

"Catch us." Shang Jianyao reminded from the side.

Jiang Baimian gave him a blank look:

"Business about other things first."

…………

Red Wolf District, Stern Street, 25.

Terrence, the second boss of the "Black Shirt Party", received a phone call.

"Do you know a man named Sangri Drase and a..." On the other end of the phone was a relic hunter who had a lot of connections with major gangs and was very well-connected.

Terrence smiled and said:

"I can make up ten names like this for you right now."

"I will give you the photos and information. If there are clues, the reward will be huge." The ruins hunter said in a familiar manner.

By evening Terrence received the corresponding letter.

After he took it apart and took a closer look, his expression suddenly became slightly weird.

The two people in the photo always seemed familiar to him.

Looking at the hair color again, his forehead jumped, remembering that he had helped someone buy hair dye.

As his thoughts turned around, Terrence laughed, picked up the phone, and dialed the previous number.

"I haven't seen it." He answered simply.

How could you betray your good brother?

Moreover, there is close cooperation between the two parties.

At this moment, outside the house, at the corner of the street, the newly rented car of the "Old Adjustment Team" was parked quietly.

Shang Jianyao had visited Terence before and "deepened" the friendship between the two parties.

In fact, Bai Chen proposed to silence him directly, but after thinking that there was a "transcendent spirituality" cult behind Terence, just killing him might not solve the problem, so he voluntarily gave up this idea.

…………

After a busy day, the "Old Tune Team" returned to the Ugo Hotel.

After entering the room, while Jiang Baimian was washing up, Shang Jianyao raised his hand and glanced at the "blind ring" on his left wrist.

Corresponding power has returned to this strange ornament woven from black hair.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao pinched his temples on both sides, leaned on the pillow, and closed his eyes.

In the "Sea of ​​Origin", on the island with the golden elevator.

Shang Jianyao sat in front of Shang Jianyao and cast his gaze on a mark in the air that could not be ignored.

The trace seemed to pierce the void, and a large amount of red was surging inside.

As time goes by, the red gradually turns golden, and then slowly turns orange, as if it is changing with the sunlight.

"Can I use it to solve you?" Shang Jianyao asked Shang Jianyao.

His eyes were still looking into the sky.

PS: I recommend a book, Wall-E’s new book. His previous book Plague Doctor should have been read by many friends.

The new book is "The Night Hacker":

A city full of neon lights and dangers.

Extraordinary beings lurk under the night rain, alien species roam the dilapidated streets, and the evil spirits in the river running through the city are turbulent.

Oligarchic companies, mysterious sects, extraordinary programs, prosthetic transformations, and personas.

Gu He originally thought that he was popular because he used to be a psychiatrist, was kind-hearted, and was a breath of fresh air in this shabby world. As a result... things developed in an indescribable direction.
