Shang Jianyao thought carefully and gave the "best" suggestion:
"Wait, I will ask directly."
"..." Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds, "Forget it, what if it is the secret sect that cannot be known by others? Respect the privacy of others."
Shang Jianyao’s thoughts have long since gone, and he said to himself:
"The ritual of that sect is to whip oneself with a whip, drop oneself with a candle, pierce oneself with a needle, and cut oneself with a knife?"
Jiang Baimian listens more and more wrongly:
"How do you feel weird..."
Is this the legendary masochistic sect?
She "hmm" for a long time, and came up with another explanation:
"Maybe the boss of Ugo used similar pain to suppress the state of only biological instinct?"
don’t know where he learned these ways...
During the discussion between the two, Ugo's door opened with a creak.
He changed into a linen shirt, his blond hair was very wet, and his face was slightly pale.
The vomit and various debris on the concrete floor of the room have also been cleaned up.
Shang saw that Yao was about to speak, he was glared at by Jiang Baimian, and forcibly changed the subject:
"Boss, have you ever seen a cat that looks like a ghost?"
Ugo raised his eyelids slightly, and replied coldly:
"I have never seen a ghost."
Jiang Baimian exhaled silently:
"It is a deformed creature that sneaked into the city. We took a mission and are looking for it and its companions..."
She roughly described the appearance features of Sleeping Cat and Nightmare Horse.
Ugo shook his head:
"If I encounter such obvious aberrant creatures, I will try to hunt them down."
"Have you ever seen a child? He likes to play games, wearing tomato scrambled eggs, oh, you don't know what tomato scrambled eggs are, it is a red and yellow suit." Shang Jianyao asked.
Ugo looked at him and asked:
"This is also an aberrant creature?"
"No, this is my friend, and I should have come to Prime City too." Shang Jian Yao explained sincerely.
U Ge thought for a while and said:
"never seen it."
He answered several questions from Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, without mentioning a word about what happened in the room.
Jiang Baimian took it up when he was good, and led Shang Jianyao out of the hotel.
She looked back at the surveillance camera at the door:
"After that, let Lao Ge take a look at the surveillance video during this period. If there are sleeping cats, nightmare horses, or Xiao Chong, it will be fine. Well, he is the most efficient."
"Then what are we doing?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Jiang Baimian pointed in one direction and said:
"Go to the home of the first patient in this'no-heart disease' epidemic.
"The first patient is always the most special, and often shows something."
The first patient of this "no-heart disease" epidemic is Aisha, who lives on the 4th floor of the apartment at No.19 Strip Street.
Her husband is a dock stevedore. She does not have a fixed job. She takes on clothing accessories and certain parts to subsidize the family, and takes care of her two children by the way.
—In the Green Olive District, there are many similar part-time female workers, mainly in the garment industry, because the production lines of a large number of factories are relatively old and have not been reformed. Many small clothing accessories, such as flowers in different parts, buttons with special shapes Wait, workers need to use both hands to complete.
This is not complicated, but the number is large. For the factory, it is very uneconomical to hire a large group of people for this purpose. On the one hand, there will be a fixed monthly salary expense. On the other hand, the next batch of clothing may not be needed. This kind of processing can be completed by four or five people with a machine.
Therefore, the owners of small and medium-sized garment factories choose to find a contractor, and the contractor will distribute the flowers, buttons and other accessories that need to be processed on a per-piece basis, so that women like Aisha who do not have a fixed job can pay Finished at home.
The contractor only needs to do two things. One is to find a skilled worker to give Aisha and the others a training before the distribution, and to teach them how to do it. The other is to pay a portion of the fee to the corresponding gang to prevent damage and use They deter women who are not full-time workers, lest they sell the materials they send out, ask for money, and kill them.
Strip Street is not far from the Ugo Hotel, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao only took five minutes to reach the destination and entered the apartment building No.19.
It’s very humid here. It’s cold in winter, and it’s like a large steaming box in summer. Fortunately, it’s not the hottest months now, but Jiang Baimian feels a little stuffy.
Along the mottled stairs with handrails, the two came to the 4th floor and knocked on the door of Aisha's house.
"Who?" Behind the dark red wooden door with many scratches and missing paint, a young boy's voice came out.
There is an unabashed vigilance in his tone.
Shang Jian Yao replied solemnly:
"I said I came to make friends with you, do you believe it?"
"Don't believe me." The little boy behind the door answered without hesitation.
Jiang Baimian had already figured out an excuse, and said with a soft smile in his voice:
"We are relic hunters, we are the adventurers in the story. We are investigating a strange cat and want to ask if you have seen it."
"What kind of cat..." A more immature little girl's voice came out.
The little boy interrupted her quickly:
"Don't talk to strangers. Dad said that there are bad people outside and will sell us! Only when he comes back can the door be opened."
The little girl no longer makes a sound.
Jiang Baimian asked with the opportunity:
"What about your mother? She is not at home?"
At this moment, she suddenly blamed herself a little, feeling that this was exposing the child's wounds.
The two children behind the door were silent for a while before the little boy answered:
"My dad said that my mom was sick and went to a far place. I won't be able to come back until I get better."
Huh... Jiang Baimian sighed, ready to ask.
At this time, Shang Jian Yao asked instead of her:
"Have you seen how your mother is sick?"
The little boy's tone became very low:
"I saw..."
"Is she sick at home?" Shang Jian Yao asked.
The little boy cried a bit:
"No. On that day, she went to Aunt Anna's house to make flowers. She hadn't returned by noon. Xia and I had been waiting for her, and we were so hungry...
"Later we heard a sound in the street, we went to the window to look outside, and then saw my mother, her eyes were red, she kept shouting, she was very sick..."
The development behind, both Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao knew-Aisha injured a few people, avoided being chased by the security officer all the way, and was shot and killed near Rabe Street.
Shang Jian Yao asked again:
"Are there any flowers around her?"
"No." The little boy answered first, then emphasized, "I can't talk to you anymore!"
Shang Jianyao took out a few "Lalfi" candies and placed them in the gap at the bottom of the door:
"Thank you for your answer, this is your reward.
"This kind of sugar will make you a little bit diarrhea, you can't eat more, you will get sick."
While he was talking, Jiang Baimian also squatted down and picked up three of the "Ralphi" candies.
She shook her head at Shang Jian Yao, pressed her voice hard and said:
"The kids here are not resistant to sweets. They will definitely eat more."
She immediately smiled at the closed door:
"One person only has one, you can't grab it."
She stuffed two "Lalfi" candies one by one and confirmed that they were taken by the little boy and the little girl.
"I'll just lick it a few times, I won't have diarrhea?" The little girl asked innocently.
"I don't know too well, why don't you wait for your father to come back and ask him?" Jiang Baimian maintained the tone of talking to children.
The little boy’s "Hmm" voice is a bit loud.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao got up one after another and left Aisha's house.
"From the answer of Aisha's son, she should have obtained the hand-made flowers that need to be done before she became ill..." Jiang Baimian analyzed as he went down the stairs.
This is because Aisha’s house is not far from the home of the subcontractor Anna, and the walk does not take more than fifteen minutes. Even if the training time is included, she must have gone back before she became ill. The result of the sheriff’s investigation is also the same.
And judging from the fact that the hand-made flowers were not scattered around her, there is a high probability that she suddenly suffered from "intentional illness" on the way back.
At this point, the sheriff in charge of the matter did not investigate it clearly. It seems that all the hand-made flowers were picked up by passers-by, and it is impossible to determine the specific location of Aisha's "unintentional disease".
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian suddenly turned around and glanced at the door of Aisha's house.
She sighed and said:
"After the outbreak of'No Heart Disease' and becoming a beast, she still leaned all the way here..."
Shang Jian Yao did not respond.
Jiang Baimian quickly adjusted his state:
"We will simulate Aisha's route later and see where we will pass on the way. Now we will visit the residents of the lower floors first. These are the people Aisha may encounter when she goes out."
"It may also be the person above, who happened to meet Aisha in the corridor." Shang Jian Yao, like usual group discussions, helped to refine the details.
This time, his thinking is not so jumping.
"Hmm." Jiang Baimian sighed again, "Then all visit."
After half an hour, they knocked on the door door to door, UU reading www.uukanshu. com has seen all kinds of guests.
There are relic hunters who have gone to the wasteland on the north shore and have been injured; there is a family where a husband is busy working in the factory and his wife is a part-time street girl; there are rooms that are empty at this time; there are A couple who did not obtain citizenship and had a very hard life; there are middle-aged people who have been suffering from illnesses and their relatives have died because of long-term drinking of untreated water and eating red river fish...
In the end, the two things that fixed the frame in Jiang Baimian’s mind were:
Narrow and dark stairs; no one over fifty.
"Let's go." Jiang Baimian took the lead to leave the apartment.
She and Shang Jianyao followed Aisha's possible route to the house of the subcontractor Anna. Along the way, they were like genuine sheriffs, questioning the residents on both sides, wanting to be completely sure that Aisha was sick. location.
After patiently investigating, the two probably locked an area.
There are seven or eight-storey apartments one after another, making the street quite narrow.
Jiang Baimian looked up to the sides, and casually asked Shang Jian Yao:
"Do you have any idea?"
Shang Jian Yao answered seriously:
"Wait for power outage."
PS: Get a little cotton-padded jacket and get promoted to seniority, hehe. After staying up all night, I really can’t do it anymore. I sleep on a regular basis. I have to be busy for the next week. I have to adapt to the changes in my life. Maybe there is only the noon shift every day, and then it will resume two shifts, but the weekend shifts will officially start. , Thank you all~
