The First Evolution
Chapter 48 Follow the clues
Latest website: Xu Kuan was a little worried about this matter. After all, if he wanted to survive in Shanghai, his relationship with foreigners was also crucial.
After all, the country is too weak at this time, and the big powers are looking around, and the overall environment is not good. Even if you take advantage in a small area, the general trend cannot resist other people's background. Unless Xiaodao will never make a living in Shanghai, then there will definitely be a huge price to pay.
After hearing the words of Fire Cloud Evil God, Xu Kuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he definitely knew that this man must have a follow-up, so he said:
"I still need to ask Master Huo to tell me the specific details."
Fire Cloud Evil God was also informal and lay down on the dirty ground in the corridor, lazily saying:
"No, I think this place is quite comfortable to live in. The ghost guy wants to build a bedroom for me here."
Then he reached out and knocked on the wall:
"This place needs to be dug out. I have prepared toilets, beds, tables, stools and other daily necessities. I will ensure that they have two or three hours of cleaning time every day."
Xu Kuan immediately beamed with joy after hearing this. The price of the faith cross made by Tigris can be said to be extremely expensive, and the cost of use is quite high. The people in the church who occupy this place are also particularly troubled by this.
Obviously, the purification time mentioned by Fire Cloud Evil God is his two or three hours of practice time. During this period, people from the church can come and collect scarlet yarn at will, saving a lot of operating costs.
As for building a room for Fire Cloud Evil God, that is even easier.
If we negotiate with these two conditions, the church will definitely put past the past and make huge concessions.
The goat heard this condition and said curiously:
"What's so good about this place? That it would be chosen by such a big shot?"
Crespo looked around and said:
"I have worked in the construction industry, so I probably know some exploration techniques. Therefore, the room chosen by Fire Cloud Evil God is a bit special. If I am not mistaken, there should be cultivation about ten meters below it. The secret room of the Scarlet Veil."
After hearing this, the goat took a breath and said:
"To put it this way, Fire Cloud Evil God is really cruel to me. Does he plan to put himself in an illusion at any time?"
Crespo said:
"That's not the case. The church will still rebuild the abnormal human research center. When it starts to operate, Huoyun Evil God usually has a whole building of people to help him share the burden, and there is also an alchemical circle to weaken the illusion. , so the hallucinations he usually receives are just like that."
"Strictly speaking, only those two or three hours a day require self-resistance. Since Fire Cloud Evil God usually lives here, of course he has to train his resistance to illusions."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what he said was very reasonable. Then Fang Linyan thought about it and said goodbye to his 1803-unit Biska data stream, Ah Huang Yiyi, and left it here to fight with the big toad. companion.
He also had his own plans in mind. If he wanted to come back to find Fire Cloud Evil God, it would be too explicit and direct. On the contrary, if he said that he wanted to find the old dog Ah Huang he had saved, wouldn't it be much more logical? ?
At the same time, Fang Linyan also felt that although Ah Huang had helped him a lot, there was no way it could be compared with the 1803 unit Biskar data stream. As far as its current role was concerned, to be honest, it was only worth 100 units of Bisca. What about card data flow?
The goat looked closely at the "Scarlet Veil" for a while and realized that it should be closer to a creature called "Tai Sui".
After some inquiries, he confirmed that the "Source of Origin" that the West wanted actually required cutting the white layer on the surface of the "Scarlet Veil", which was about one centimeter thick.
After each cut, it will take four or five days for the scarlet yarn to return to its original shape.
In addition, this thing can also be extracted from withered or aged scarlet yarn.
During this cutting process, the Scarlet Veil will feel pain, and will release a large amount of strange energy that causes illusions. The purpose of building a lunatic asylum is to absorb this strange energy to ensure the safety of the cutter.
***
Next, a group of people returned to Shencheng, planning to create trouble based on clues.
Before leaving, Fang Linyan and the others visited some of the wounded from the Little Sword Society, so everyone got an iron sign, indicating that they would be allies of the Little Sword Society from now on.
If someone wants to ask someone from the Little Knife Guild to kill them, then the people from the Little Knife Guild will not accept the order—unless they give too much.
If they want to hire someone from the Xiao Dao Society to kill someone, they can get a 20% discount.
At this time, according to the principles formulated by Fang Linyan and Omi, he acted extremely low-key. Even if someone with a Honkai Impact walked in front of him, he would never make a move, and he was determined not to cause trouble.
But this time they don't need the Bone Dragon. Ding Li can provide money, and Fang Linyan and the others have made connections with the Little Sword Society - a friendship that can be regarded as fighting side by side and rescuing people in danger.
This kind of friendship intertwined with blood is definitely stronger than the friendship formed at the dinner table. If you can still get money according to the rules in the market, it will definitely be an extremely strong friendship.
Soon, they arrived at No. 16, Sanzhu Lane. This place had the typical style of lower-middle-class residents in Shencheng at this time. Everything was simple and practical. As for the environment, hygiene and other things, that was all. Give in to the above two.
Even Fang Linyan and the others had to be careful not to step on the chicken shit + mud mixture under their feet when they walked in.
Xie Jiang was in his room, apparently still busy with something.
With the help of the Little Sword Society, Fang Linyan and the others have obtained Xie Jiang's information. He is a minister of a medium-sized pawnshop, and he has some shares in it.
Frankly speaking, this person's reputation is not very good, and he has three nicknames.
The first one is called Xie Papi.
The second one is called Iron Rooster.
The third one is even more vicious, called Baiqieji, which has a local meaning similar to the curse of being hit by a car when going out.
At that time, public security in Shencheng was very poor. Businessmen walking at night were robbed and killed. Not only their goods were robbed, but their clothes and pants were also stripped off, and their bodies were thrown into a pond. When it floated, the body was swollen and pale, like a chicken that had been cooked in a pot.
Looking at these three nicknames, you can probably know what kind of person Xie Jiang is.
Therefore, when Xie Jiang saw Fang Linyan and others filing into his private residence, he was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands nonchalantly and said:
"My master is in a bad mood today. Do you want to get out of here right away, or should I call someone to get you out of here with your limbs broken off later?"
Fang Linyan raised his eyebrows. To deal with such a person, he must first suffer.
So two minutes later, Xie Jiang's crying and shouting voice rang out in the room, without any of the arrogance he had before. This didn't even cause him to lose his hands or feet, but only broke one of his little fingers.
It can be seen that there is a saying that is not true at all, that is, people who are cruel to others are very gentle to themselves.
"We were sent to find you."
The goat squatted gently in front of Xie Jiang who was knocked to the ground and said.
Of course, Fang Linyan and others were standing nearby with their arms folded, looking over coldly, acting as thugs who said lines such as "What are you looking at?"
Xie Jiang's eyes flashed and he nodded.
Seeing that he was still a little lucky, Goat took out a small knife from his arms and slapped it on the table.
Knives are very common, but when there is a piece of red silk tied at the end and the word "loyalty" is written on the red silk, it becomes not at all common.
Because this is the token of the Little Knife Club!
Among the gangs in Shencheng, the number of members of the Little Knife Club is not even among the top ten, but they can still make a steady living here because they are strong enough to stick together and be ruthless.
There is also a gang behind Xie Jiang, because there is no one behind him who is not successful in doing business such as pawn shops, casinos, etc., so what he hesitates is actually waiting for reinforcements.
But after the goat took out the token of the Little Knife Society, Xie Jiang suddenly became desperate, because he knew very well the virtues of the gang behind him, and it was absolutely impossible for them to start a war with the Little Knife Society just for a small role like him.
That is the most notorious gang in Shanghai!
The gang behind him may be able to deceive and kidnap, but he doesn't even dare to rob. If it weren't for the fact that he was a person from the patrol room of the French Concession, he would probably be embarrassed if he tried to argue with him.
Xiao Dao will dare to confront foreigners head-on.
After thinking about these things, Xie Jiang suddenly became intimidated and immediately came up with tricks to pretend to be pitiful, such as shouting that he had an 80-year-old mother and an 18-year-old wife.
Of course, the goat smiled and didn't say much. He patiently watched his performance. When he got tired and ran out of lines, he said:
"Very good. Since you have repentance, then whether you live or die depends on your performance."
"In fact, we have learned a lot about you. For example, you slept with Widow Xie three times without giving you any money. Another example is that the money you secretly withheld from the counter was deposited with Lao Ye of the gambling house, and you even made an appointment. Two cents profit”
"So, if you talk nonsense for half a sentence, use one finger, for one sentence use two fingers, and for three sentences use one hand!"
After Xie Jiang heard this, he knew that he had encountered a dragon crossing the river. He could only nod his head in pain and said:
"Yes Yes Yes."
Goat said:
"Very well, then let me remind you that we are here for the painting."
As soon as the keyword painting was mentioned, Xie Jiang immediately felt as if he had seen a ghost. His expression immediately became unnatural, and his eyes couldn't help but glance down. But who were the people present? The vulture chopped it off with one dagger! !
Xie Jiang immediately screamed miserably, and all his little thoughts disappeared in the severe pain.
Then, an incredible story came out of Xie Jiang's mouth.
The story of a male actor named Tan Chuan and a man named Zhu Shang.
Tan Chuan originally played the role of Huadan, but he also did some part-time jobs, ahem, to put it simply, he asked others to spend money to do some perianal care work for him and treat constipation by the way.
Zhu Shang is a small boss who is keen on this.
But gradually in the process of getting along, the two realized the true love between same-sex people that does not aim at reproduction, so they decided to find an opportunity to stay together and fly together.
It's a pity that everything must be based on economic foundation. Zhu Shang had already spent almost all his family's wealth in order to hook up with Tan Chuan, and he was just a small boss.
To put it more concretely, it is equivalent to a middle class person who owns a house and a car, but owes 20 years of mortgage loan/three years of car loan/monthly income of 15,000.
then what should we do? Zhu Shang thought of a way, ahem, of course, this method must have come from the criminal law.
His boss is in the foreign trade business. He received a painting two years ago. I heard it was an authentic work by Nalan Xingde - the painting about the person who described life as if it were just like the first time he saw it.
Then the boss was so happy that he showed it off everywhere every day. For convenience, he hung the painting in the office.
There are actually many such shallow and vulgar people. For example, every time Juantu receives a reward from a book friend, he will narcissistically post it on WeChat Moments.
Zhu Shang was interested in this painting. He asked someone to inquire about it and asked for at least 50,000 yuan.
However, Zhu Shang couldn't do this alone. First, he had to copy a very similar fake and replace it, so that he would have enough time to escape.
Then getting the authentic work is just the beginning.
Because Zhu Shang wants money rather than paintings, not many people can afford such a valuable authentic work, and it cannot be someone his boss knows, so it is best to sell it at a high price.
Therefore, Zhu Shang finally found Xie Jiang and Xie Chaofeng. This guy's identity was almost perfect for Zhu Shang.
First of all, Xie Jiang deals with fakes every day, so there must be channels to get fakes.
Secondly, the pawnshop will also collect stolen goods. As long as it is profitable, there will be nothing they dare not ask for, and there will be channels for selling stolen goods.
Zhu Shang is also very aware that the more people who know something, the greater the risk. If he can only deal with Xie Jiang and hand over this matter to Yuan Shang, then he must be very happy.
Xie Jiang had no objection to this, and even cooperated with it. For him, Zhu Shang had borne all the risks. It was enough if he had money. As for the rest, it was none of my business.
However, at this moment, a person Xie Jiang did not expect found him.
This person is Tan Chuan.
Of course Tan Chuan knew that Zhu Shang was going to do this big thing, and he promised to stay and fly with Zhu Shang.
However, Tan Chuan's idea was actually about Zhu Shang's boss!
It turns out that Tan Chuan also knows Zhu Shang's boss and knows that this man's surname is Tang, that he has a very good character and has great energy behind him.
When the perfect result that Tan Chuan wanted was that Boss Tang found out that his favorite painting had been stolen and was devastated/burnt out/overgrown with cauliflower/feeling depressed, Tan Chuan found his painting. With Boss Tang's generous character, that Aren’t you going to satisfy any request you make? ?
