Embers Ad Infinitum

"That won't work." Yergai instinctively wanted to refuse. 3

​​

Jiang Baimian was not discouraged and explained with a smile:

​​

"Mr. Sheriff, we don't need to know the secrets, we just hope to have a rough grasp of the abnormal events in Gustburg in the past two months, so as to find clues about the Bodhi statue."

​​

"The task of the Bodhi statue?" Yelgai asked in surprise.

​​

He seemed to remember that there was a genuine team of relic hunters on the opposite side. 4

​​

Jiang Baimian nodded:

​​

"At present, the progress of this mission is almost at a standstill. We can only find another entry point to see if we can find some clues."

​​

"What does this have to do with the public security disputes, criminal cases, deceased persons, and psychiatric hospital admission records in the past two months?" Yeergai's memory was quite good, and he basically repeated Jiang Baimian's request just now, but the order was reversed. . 1

​​

Yes, yes... Long Yuehong echoed this man's words in his heart. 2

​​

He also had the same question. 1

​​

"Secret." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile, "Mr. Sheriff, the clues we just provided should be worth more than one Great Knight gold coin. It's not too much to ask for some additional information when we've already received payment, right? Besides, There should be no confidentiality requirements for that information.”1

​​

She put emphasis on the phrase "has been paid". 2

​​

Jiang Baimian, who is familiar with all kinds of materials in the old world, knows that he must pay attention to methods and methods to pay bribes. Too explicit will only backfire at certain times. 3

​​

Yeergai was obviously stunned when he heard it, and seemed to suspect that the other party was wrong. 1

​​

Soon, he understood, and his expression remained unchanged and said: 2

​​

"Your request is indeed quite reasonable.

​​

"I'm going to apply for the corresponding materials now, but you need to bear the cost of photocopying yourself." 2

​​

"No problem!" Jiang Baimian smiled sweetly. 1

​​

After Ye Ergai left the reception room, Long Yuehong lowered her voice and said:

​​

"Team leader, aren't you afraid that he will refuse? The 'White Knights' advocate simplicity, and must shy away from accepting bribes." 1

​​

"If he refuses, just treat me as the wrong tense, so that everyone can get along well." Jiang Baimian smiled slightly, "But I judge that the probability of his refusal is very low. It is equivalent to a knight's squire. On the other hand, he is almost forty years old. Unless he can make great contributions, he has no hope of becoming a full-fledged knight in his life and seeking the position of squire for his children. Under such circumstances, It is easy to think of a way to save more money for yourself and your family, and besides, we just let him be accommodating, and the corresponding things do not violate any rules and regulations.”5

​​

The knights of the "White Knights" are quite noble, involving positions of real power and the starting line of descendants. Just because a certain squire is old enough, he will not be given a comforting title of knight.

​​

Therefore, they are completely different from "Pangu Creatures" in this respect. Unlike the latter, an employee works step by step and can always get at least two promotions. When it comes to retirement, he may be able to take it one step further and enjoy a higher level of enjoyment. treatment.

​​

Shang Jianyao looked disappointed:

​​

"What about their chivalry?" 2

​​

"Let's not talk about the destruction of the old world, it's almost fifty years since the chaotic era. In such a place where the stratum is solidified, the mobility is poor, and the upper and lower ranks are paid attention to, the squires at the bottom and even the knights in the middle, in the case of hopeless promotion, I am afraid that only a small part will strictly observe the spirit of chivalry." Jiang Baimian shook his head, "In some eras, we can talk about the spirit to everyone, and in any era, we can talk about the spirit to a few people, but if we want to Talking about the spirit to everyone in any age goes against the objective laws. The first thing in this world is material things, so being practical and giving more benefits is often more useful than shouting slogans.”22

​​

She used a famous sentence pattern in the old world. 2

​​

"Not necessarily." Shang Jianyao expressed disapproval. 1

​​

Just when Long Yuehong thought he wanted to say that the lofty spirit will never fade away and never go out of style, Shang Jianyao pointed to himself and said: 1

​​

"In the presence of awakened ones, are you sure that the primary nature of the world is really matter?" 10

​​

Jiang Baimian, who was not a physical scientist, suddenly refuted it for a while. 1

​​

At this time, Bai Chen repeated the question that Yeergai had just said:

​​

"What do those documents have to do with the Bodhi statue?" 1

​​

Jiang Baimian retracted his gaze and said with a smile:

​​

"Didn't we speculate before that the ascetic took the Bodhi statue to take refuge in Gerstburg, and got preliminary confirmation?

​​

"At the moment, it is not yet possible to confirm whether he was killed or died naturally, we can only choose one of them to start.

​​

"If he really died of illness and went to sit under the steel furnace, what would he do with the Bodhi statue?"

​​

"Destroy it, hide it, or give it to someone you can trust." Bai Chen replied with consideration.

​​

Purdue Zen Master Shang Jianyao proposed another possibility:

​​

"Maybe it can be placed anywhere, such as next to the corpse, so that those who are destined can get it."

​​

"It's all possible." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, "It goes without saying that if it's destroyed, everyone will never find it, whether it's hidden or acquired by someone in Gustburg, the Bodhi statue is like this. Important, that might cause some exceptions from time to time.

"Also, three years later, if the Bodhi statue did fall into the hands of someone in Gustburg, could he really be able to make it so that no one noticed, no one noticed? 1

​​

"After the corresponding task hangs up, will someone go to him, try to extort money, and then be silenced?"

​​

Hearing this, Long Yuehong suddenly realized:

​​

Gu Bei

"No wonder team leader, you want to check the public security disputes, criminal cases, mental hospital admission records and death lists in Gerstburg in the last two months..."

​​

There may be something hidden about the statue holder's handling of the insider.

​​

"What if the silencer was done two or three years ago?" Shang Jianyao smiled coldly, "I don't think many murderers are procrastinating in this regard."2

​​

Jiang Baimian sighed and said:

​​

"So, this is just a preliminary screening, if there is no result, we will ask for the next three years.

​​

"Mr. Sheriff will be very embarrassed to take so much in one breath."3

​​

Papapa, Shang Jianyao applauded and ended the topic.

​​

Long Yuehong sighed:

​​

"With so much information, it is necessary to check one by one to confirm whether there is any problem. The workload is not small." 1

​​

"The Bodhi statue was lost three years ago. I'm afraid I won't be able to find the slightest clue if I don't take out the spirit of digging three feet into the ground. Isn't it possible that an intelligence businessman as strong as Jitis can't give valuable information?" Jiang Bai Mian recalled and said, "Sometimes, the stupid way is the most effective way. Before in the first city, didn't we find the real 'priest' by rummaging through the trash can? Besides, we still have the old style, so we can do it directly. Big Data Analytics.”5

​​

"Yes." Long Yuehong and Bai Chen nodded at the same time.

​​

Suddenly, Jiang Baimian frowned.

​​

"What's wrong?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

​​

Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:

​​

"Did I just say that even a strong intelligence businessman like Gitis can't find any useful clues?" 3

​​

"Almost." Shang Jianyao affirmed.

​​

Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

​​

"Have you guessed that Gitis or one of her informants has 'Sky Eyes'?" 1

​​

"Yes, yes!" Shang Jianyao admitted with great pleasure.

​​

Bai Chen pursed his mouth and said:

​​

"Team leader, do you mean that the Bodhi statue fell into the hands of Gitis or someone from her team?" 0

​​

"That's why she can monitor the situation in various places in Gustburg in real time and obtain first-hand information, so she often wanders, likes to be in a daze, as if she lives in her own world, so she deliberately avoids the Bodhi statue and does not give any Clues of value?" The more Long Yuehong said, the more likely it was, "If the Bodhi sculpture involves the power of age-keeping, it is quite normal for Jitis to see something a kilometer or two away at the front desk of the hotel. "4

​​

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

​​

"If it really involves the age-related aspect, it is reasonable that the power of the statue has not been exhausted after three years. 1

​​

"Next, we have to confirm that Gitis likes to wander and is often in a daze. When did it start." 4

​​

Their current guesses are bold assumptions, based on Gitis' extraordinary performance and her ordinaryness in the matter of the Bodhi statue, but there are too many reasons to explain it, and it needs to be verified carefully. 1

​​

The "Old Tuning Team" did not leave in a hurry, and when Yeergai returned, Genava completed the scanning of the corresponding data.

​​

Naturally, the cost of copying is also saved. 11

​​

…………

​​

Today's front desk of the "Fire and Iron" hotel is another employee~www.readwn.com~ He doesn't know as much as Spant about Gitis, and the "Old Tunes Group" asked a few questions, but did not get any valuable answers. .

​​

As a last resort, the "Old Tune Team" once again chose Old Henry's restaurant for lunch, and found the brown-haired waiter before.

​​

After confirming the menu, Jiang Baimian asked casually:

​​

"Will Gitis come here at noon today?"

​​

"I'm not quite sure." The brown-haired waiter shook his head, "She doesn't seem to have a day off today and has to work at night."

​​

"Then where does she live? We want to find out more." Jiang Baimian said taking advantage of the situation.

​​

The brown-haired waiter became vigilant: 1

​​

"You can go to the Fire and Iron Hotel to find her at night."

​​

Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm" and then asked:

​​

"She is really well-informed, it's hard to imagine that she has only been an intelligence businessman for a few years.

​​

"Uh, how many years ago did she start working as an intelligence dealer?"

​​

"It started as a receptionist at the 'Fire and Iron' Hotel," recalled the brown-haired waiter. "It's been almost three years."6

​​

Three years...the eyes of several members of the "Old Tunes Group" lit up.
