Interstellar: Start as a cleaner
Chapter 704 House?
"Viscount Houston is the speaker of the lower house of the Jialan Province. This loss is nothing."
"I think this matter is very suspicious. Rat hunters are not novices. How could they make such a mistake?"
"I also heard rumors that the management of Viscount Houston's winery is chaotic."
"The management of their vineyard is the worst."
"I suspect something must have happened in the winery." What Yang Bo didn't expect was that everyone talked about these news.
But thinking back, everyone is a local. Don't everyone know what everyone looks like?
Besides, the Viscount also needs to hire people to do the work. There must be workers who will tell everyone about it privately.
"The meeting is in session. Because Viscount Houston's winery caught fire, everyone will check various places next and make sure these places take fire prevention measures." The sheriff of the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau held a meeting to talk about the following work.
However, patrolling at night is not a big deal. Patrolling during the day will check merchants and residential areas to see how the fire prevention measures and protection preparations are done.
In fact, the first thing to do when putting out a fire is to put it out immediately. Two basins of water may solve the problem immediately. If the fire is allowed to spread, it is hard to say.
Yang Bo originally thought that this matter was just like that, but he did not expect it to get worse and worse. It is said that Houston Winery lost 100,000 gold coins. It is said that the longest wine is a hundred years old. In addition, there are winemaking equipment and these barrels.
It is said that these barrels are the most valuable. The wine brewed from these barrels has a unique flavor. Some barrels are said to have been used for five or six hundred years.
Viscount Houston sent someone to pass on the message that the truth must be found.
Officials in the entire Green City felt a lot of pressure, because Viscount Houston's performance proved that he did not believe that the fire was caused by the rat hunter, or he had other ideas. After all, a rat hunter certainly could not compensate 100,000 gold coins.
"Handy, did you find anything unusual when you went to the winery to kill rats a few days before the fire?" Locke asked as soon as Yang Bo arrived at the police station in the evening.
"At that time, the housekeeper of the winery wanted me to go to the wine cellar to kill rats, but I had no experience in rat killing, so I refused." Yang Bo answered honestly.
"Is this the abnormality you mentioned?" Locke asked with some confusion.
Yang Bo could obviously sense that Locke was probably being controlled by others and wanted to use this incident to make Locke's position higher.
"Sir, don't you feel strange? If you were the housekeeper, would you find someone who had no experience in rat extermination to exterminate rats? Anyway, I feel very strange." Yang Bo asked back.
"This is a strange place. So if there is a problem, where do you think we should check it from?"
"The official has checked the financial situation of all of them and found nothing abnormal."
"In addition, the scene was also surveyed, and no valuable clues were found. The scene was already a mess." Locke asked again.
"Sir, I can't be sure without seeing the scene, and I have no experience in this kind of work." In fact, Yang Bo himself did not intend to take care of this matter, but who asked the housekeeper of Houston Winery to let him take the blame.
Yang Bo's character is that if others don't offend me, I won't offend others.
"Then you go back and rest now, and I'll take you to the scene tomorrow morning." Hearing this, Locke said.
Yang Bo nodded, and Locke opened another letter of explanation.
Yang Bo returned to the academy and handed it over to the dean. The main thing was that he would take a carving class tomorrow.
With a letter of explanation, he could apply for leave tomorrow. This process must be followed, otherwise the dean and other instructors would mistake it for being impolite.
The next morning, Yang Bo came to the police station, and Locke took Yang Bo and Roden to the Houston Winery.
Yang Bo's character was sitting on a horse. It was not stable at the beginning, but Yang Bo quickly controlled the game character and adjusted his posture.
The main thing was that Roden was leading the horse, and his character did not control the horse.
"Haha, brother, it seems that you have a talent for riding." Roden laughed and said to the place where he rode to quickly.
Yang Bo did not speak. Anyway, he probably felt that the character was very uncomfortable, but he just couldn't feel it.
The winery has now been taken over by the police station. The appearance of the winery does not seem to have changed much, but some places look a little smoky.
The wine cellar is in the basement. The wine cellar is all built with stones, and now it is a mess.
Yang Bo did not feel it, so he could not smell the smell of the scene.
Yang Bo checked the information last night and found several breakthroughs.
"Why are all the barrels cracked here?"
"That's because the temperature of the burning caused the temperature inside the barrel to rise and burst." Locke answered, and he had read the detailed report himself.
"It's hard to see the quality of these wines now, because they were poured with water when the fire was put out." Locke spoke again.
Yang Bo looked at the wine cellar and saw that there were indeed a lot of wine and water mixtures.
Soon, Yang Bo, who had a dynamic vision, found what he was looking for.
"Sir, I think I have found the suspicious points." Yang Bo waded directly to find a few things.
Locke was a little surprised. He didn't expect the guy in front of him to find the suspicious points so quickly.
"Sir, please look."
"These are the corks of several barrels."
"As far as I know, the corks will be knocked in when the barrels are opened, but of course this is not absolute."
"In theory, new corks will be replaced, but these corks obviously have signs of secondary use."
"In addition, in the wine cellar, these heavy wooden barrels and candles cannot be lit."
"Even the oil lamps are not easy to light. The rat hunters are experienced and should not use oil lamps. So what caused the fire?"
Locke looked at several corks and answered: "It is said that the wine barrels were broken."
"Sir, I think this is a lie. This kind of barrel can hold so much fine wine, and it needs to be turned over regularly. I think the rat hunters will definitely not bring a sledgehammer."
"The rat hunters can only bring a small stick. If this small stick can break these wine barrels, then it means that there is something wrong with these wine barrels themselves." Yang Bo said again.
Locke soon discovered the abnormality of the cork. Anything will leave traces after being used twice.
Whether the cork is knocked into the barrel or pulled out, of course, a new cork can be used, but the new cork can tell the year.
"But what if they don't admit it?"
"I think we need workers to do these things, so the boss just needs to tell the workers that the butler said they stole it."
"I'm afraid this won't work?"
"Then lock the workers up in the room between the butler and the stewards here, let the workers hear the butler and the stewards discuss, and let the workers take responsibility for it."
"Of course, the boss can also take these corks. For these workers, they know the flaws of this matter best."
"And it must be the workers who did the specific operation. Now there are flaws again, and they hear that the butler wants to put the responsibility on themselves. Some of these workers will definitely not be able to help but say it."
Yang Bo whispered his idea again.
No matter what happened to the wine in the winery, the workers must know it, otherwise the butler alone would not be able to do it with so much wine.
Even if the workers did not participate in person, they must know something more or less, but the butler usually manages these workers and must pretend not to know.
The workers must remember what they did, such as what the wine barrels looked like.
Locke understood it all at once. As for whether there was really a butler and steward next door, some arrangements could be made.
"Handy, you are great." The person who controlled Locke didn't expect that the breakthrough point was actually a small cork. He had reviewed the case with an intelligent program, but there was no useful clue.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Then Yang Bo had a half-day off in the afternoon.
"Haha, Handy, we followed your method this afternoon, and the workers were scared to death."
"We asked someone to pretend to be the butler next door, and let the workers see the butler in person. However, the butler was knocked unconscious after the workers saw him, and the pretender imitated the butler and the butler to talk in a low voice, so when I took out the corks, I said that these corks were evidence."
"The workers were scared and quickly told everything."
"It turns out that the wine reserves in the winery are very different from the reserves in the account book. On the one hand, the butler and the butler secretly and repeatedly stole on a small scale. On the other hand, poor management led to a decrease in the yield of the vineyard, and the butler did not dare to tell the truth."
"In addition, the butler and the butler were greedy and bought some cheap barrels. The wine brewed from these barrels did not meet the requirements at all."
"The Viscount's servant had a problem himself, which has little to do with our Green City. What reward do you want this time?" In the evening, Locke called Yang Bo to the office alone and asked.
"This is all thanks to the commander. If the commander hadn't taken his subordinates with him, the subordinates wouldn't have been able to find these things." Yang Bo answered modestly.
"This time the credit is great. If the responsibility is not on the Viscount himself, then our Green City may have to bear part of the loss."
"You don't have a place to live yet, I just happen to have an idle house here, I'll give it to you." Locke said again.
Yang Bo could clearly feel that Locke had regained his thoughts.
"Thank you, commander. What about Brother Roden?"
"Don't worry about that." Locke said meaningfully.
"Commander, I know what to do."
"Okay." Locke heard Yang Bo say this and naturally understood what the other party meant.
"Politics!"
"I didn't expect that I would benefit from it." Yang Bo muttered in his heart while patrolling.
After playing the game the next day, after following Bob to finish his work, Yang Bo stayed in the city.
Locke took Yang Bo to a house. This house was in the commercial district. The security in the commercial district, the noble district and the administrative district were all very good. These three districts occupied 3/4 of the entire city, but only 1/5 of the city's permanent population.
The remaining 4/5 were all squeezed into the civilian area, which was 1/4 of the city.
These civilians served the business and the nobles.
It was a two-and-a-half-story building with a land area of only 120 square meters. There was a half-story attic on the top and a basement.
The basement floor was 50 centimeters higher than the street floor. The basement was all stone walls. This was the high stone wall seen beside the street.
"This house is relatively small, and there is no way to park a carriage or something like that." Locke also said.
"Thank you very much, sir. This is something I have never dreamed of." Yang Bo was already very satisfied. Such a house would cost at least hundreds of gold coins.
"Locke looks like a native controlled by the Blue Water Empire, but it's hard for people of this level of civilization to understand these things." Yang Bo muttered to himself.
"What kind of thing is it that makes a powerful country like the Blue Water Empire unable to find out in this way? Is it really related to soul control?"
"Here is the title deed and the house deed of the house. I'll take you to transfer the ownership." Locke said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir, but I want to live outside the city for the time being."
"Then I can rent this house out for you, and it will be a considerable income every month."
"Thank you, sir."
"In fact, you should eat more good food, which is good for you."
"I will do what the sir says."
"Eat more beef."
In the evening, Yang Bo just returned to the academy with the title deed and other things in his pocket, and saw Adam waiting.
"Are you doing something else secretly?" Adam sent a message when he saw Yang Bo.
"I found another part-time job in the city!"
"Ah, how are you so lucky to find another part-time job? How is the job?"
"The job is OK."
"How much does it cost?"
"The part-time job doesn't pay much."
"Can I go with you?"
"Let me ask about this."
"If you help me find a job, I'll treat you to honey biscuits."
"Thank you!!"
The next night, Yang Bo asked Locke if he needed anyone else.
Locke asked who it was, and Yang Bo said that he was a partner with him in hunting rabbits.
Locke asked Yang Bo to bring the person and go through the formalities at that time, but it would be best if the academy issued a letter of introduction.
"Handy, I didn't expect you to have the ability to handle cases." Yang Bo saw the dean, who smiled and praised him.
"That's all thanks to the superior." Yang Bo said quickly.
"This Adam's performance is a bit average, but there's nothing wrong with it." The dean began to write a letter of introduction.
Today is Friday, so there is no need to learn skills.
Adam was still a little dizzy following Yang Bo.
"When did you join the city guards?" Adam asked in a low voice.
"I joined a few days ago."
"How did you get into the army?"
"A letter of introduction from the dean?"
"You're lying!"
"Handy!"
"Brother Los!"
"Did you change the patrol time today?" When passing by the city gate, several familiar soldiers greeted Yang Bo warmly.
"I'll take my little brother to do something."
"Then go in." Adam followed behind with a confused look on his face, watching Yang Bo talking and laughing with the guards guarding the city gate.
Usually, these guards entering the city are ferocious, staring at everyone with a covetous look, and some are taken aside for rough search.
Of course, Adam didn't know that his brother was beaten up by this group of people in front of him, and then sent to the border on charges of robbing soldiers and using force against soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that Adam's brother had no weapons, he might have been charged with rebellion.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable. You've become a city guard not long after entering the game?" After entering the city gate, Adam sent a message to Yang Bo.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!" Yang Bo quickly sent a few words, and Adam rolled his eyes at Yang Bo.
Yang Bo was still very envious, because his character couldn't make the eye-rolling gesture because he didn't have a neural connection.
