Chapter 78 Treat him to a feast
Chapter 78 Treat him to a feast
Ever since the tragic death of "Silver Tongue" Riley.
The nights at Rolling Stone Castle are no longer peaceful.
The Rolling Stone Club was like a beast that had not stretched its claws for a long time. It finally tore off its lazy disguise and once again let out a terrifying roar at all challengers.
Ordinary people who huddle at home and shiver can hear the sounds of fighting, explosions and collapsing buildings every night.
Every morning, pools of blood could be found deep in the mean streets.
In the stinking ditch, you can always find a few incomplete corpses floating.
The patrol members also spent sleepless nights.
Everyone's eyes were red from staying up all night, and they smoked themselves into chimneys with cigarettes, turning the patrol team into a smoky and noisy vegetable market.
"Sister Long, the captain asked me to ask again. He stayed up all night again. Have the files he wants been sorted out?"
Li Xinglan knocked gently on the door, his voice revealing helplessness and fatigue. "Also, it's time to formulate a direction for our further investigation."
"almost."
In the messy office that was like a doghouse, Long Jianhuan's legs, which were big enough to strangle an elephant, were crossed and placed on the table.
With fingers interlaced and chin resting on each other, he stared at the document on the screen with sparkling eyes.
After a night of hard work.
She finally created the folder.
The file name is also determined.
"Tell the captain that there are only two or three paragraphs left, and I'll polish them up."
Long Jianhuan said this, but did not take any action.
Instead, he opened his already filled work notebook.
This notebook was originally used to record the customs and culture of Rolling Stone Castle.
Recently it has become Xu Yan’s personal album.
From both the front and back directions, and from both the positive and negative angles, we keep moving towards the center at a rate of two to three pages or even four to five pages a day.
To this day, the notes are full.
Light and darkness converge at about two-thirds of the way.
Only the last page remains.
Positive was the final evaluation made by Long Jianhuan after a week of observation.
intuition.
Judgment.
The potential to control spirits.
Logical analysis ability.
Personality stability.
Degree of tacit understanding.
Long Jianhuan gave high evaluations to dozens of densely packed indicators.
She even marked one-third of the indicators with five-pointed stars.
Finally, Long Jianhuan wrote the conclusion:
“This is a talent that cannot be missed.”
After staring at the conclusion for a long time, she turned to the other side and saw a blank space at the end.
"What should be written here?"
Long Jianhuan thought deeply.
Before the brain could figure it out, the hands had already started moving subconsciously.
With just a few strokes, Xu Yan's appearance was sketched out.
The young man with red lips and white teeth stood deep in the dark mine, looking up for the faint light, with an ignorant and stubborn expression on his face.
But behind him, two black wings opened silently.
The edges of the wings were as sharp as razors, shining with a dark, cold light.
Long Jianhuan picked up the book page, raised the notebook, and pointed it at the incandescent light above his head.
Under the light, the perfect evaluation on the front and the simple drawing on the back overlap, as if adding lines of intricate inscriptions to the black wings, making the image more three-dimensional, but also more complicated.
The bell rings.
It's the intercom line in the captain's office.
Long Jianhuan frowned slightly and stared at the ringing phone for four or five seconds before putting down his notes and picking up the receiver.
"Captain, just one last couple of sentences. Allow me to finish. Do you have any important instructions?"
Long Jianhuan asked, "Did Dawn City send the death report of Silver Tongue Riley?"
"I just urged them last night. They're also working all night. They said it'll be this morning at the latest."
Jiang Yuan said on the phone, "However, the spies you asked me to deploy in the midnight market have yielded some results." Long Jianhuan adjusted his sitting posture somewhat stiffly.
"Xu Yan went to the midnight market?"
The midnight market at Rolling Stone Castle is only open between midnight and 6 am.
Specializing in selling all kinds of contraband that cannot be seen in public.
Such as stolen goods.
Extraordinary material suspected of being contaminated by the past.
A forbidden card that seals away evil spirits.
And…psychiatric drugs.
"What did he look like, where did he go, what did he buy, and what did he buy?"
Long Jianhuan took a deep breath and asked calmly.
"He was wearing makeup, a pair of oversized sunglasses, and a windbreaker with padded shoulders. He looked very sneaky and was discovered by my people as soon as he entered the midnight market."
Jiang Yuan said, "He went to three underground pharmacies. As for what he purchased, my people are still investigating. As you know, most underground pharmacy owners are reluctant to disclose product lists and customer information."
Rolling Stone Castle connects the safe area and the wilderness area.
Many heroes in the wilderness area are engaged in a life-or-death business, often coming into contact with forbidden cards of evil spirits. It is inevitable that they will be contaminated by the past and eroded by evil spirits, and suffer from various mental illnesses.
High-concentration, large-dose psychotropic drugs are hard currency in wilderness areas.
There are many underground pharmacies in Rolling Stone Castle that specialize in smuggling psychotropic drugs from the safe zone and trading rare materials deep in the wilderness, making a profit of more than ten times the amount.
"But he must have spent a lot of money."
Jiang Yuan added, "My people saw him talking to the three shop owners for a long time. The shop owners were all smiling, as if they had met important customers. When he left the market, his backpack was bulging and full.
"By the way, how did you know Xu Yan would go to the Midnight Market? Is there any problem with this card-making apprentice of the Star Shop?"
"No."
Long Jianhuan discovered a palm-sized spider web in the corner of his wall.
To the left of the spider web, the newly painted wall had cracks as thin as a hair.
The gap extended all the way to the incandescent lamp.
The lights flickered a little.
She put down the phone.
He opened his work notebook again and tore off the page with the five-pointed star on the front and the dark wings on the back.
“So, that’s it?
"You surrender so quickly?
"Whether as a friend or an opponent, it's a bit disappointing!"
Long Jianhuan sneered, crumpled the page into a ball, drew a long parabola with it, and threw it into the wastebasket.
"Crack!"
The "Lion of the Sun" slammed into the card reader.
"Wow!"
He pulled open the drawer and pulled out an oversized steam revolver, testing the pressure valve to ensure adequate pressure.
Then he took out six silver demon-hunting bullets from the locked carved magazine deep in the drawer and inserted them into the magazine one by one.
The cylinder rotates at high speed and resets with a "click".
Long Jianhuan put the steam revolver on his waist.
"At least, I didn't use high-tech help."
She murmured to herself, "I used the methods my father taught me and relied on my own strength to win this game!"
She slammed the door open and strode out.
He bumped into Li Xinglan who was holding a fried pancake in his mouth.
"Sister Long, I brought you breakfast."
Li Xinglan shook the oil-paper bag in his hand and looked at the murderous Long Jianhuan, "Are you going out?"
"It's okay, I'll be right back. Put it on my desk first."
Long Jianhuan took two steps, then turned back and said, "Please buy me one more, no, two, please?"
"Okay, I told you this fried dough sticks are the best."
Li Xinglan asked, "Where are you going? Is there anyone else who wants to eat?"
"I'm going to the Starry Sky Store to invite Xu Yan back for a big meal."
Long Jianhuan said as he opened the patrol team's door.
Then she saw Xu Yan standing at the gate, sweating profusely, his face flushed, his hands on his knees, gasping for breath.
