Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 325 See you at ten o'clock

  Three guns are in good condition.

  Verak himself still carries a pistol with him, and when the time comes, he will cooperate with the comrades at the substation, and it will not be a big problem to kill the armed people first and then arrest the others.

  Yale Street is a bit far from Nedge Street, and False Boyne used to walk forward again. The group walked for more than two hours before arriving at their destination—a hotel that was booked in advance.

   "Everyone have some breakfast first, and we will start recruiting people after breakfast." Fake Boyin finished talking to his subordinates at the dinner table, and then walked aside to communicate with the hotel owner in a low voice.

  It is known that the counterfeit gang is a member of the government, and the hotel owner who has contacted it and turned a blind eye to its blatant recruitment in his hotel should also be a group.

  Verak observed the situation while eating with other people to learn information.

  With the help of the government, it is indeed much more convenient for counterfeit gangs to cheat. They don’t need to worry about the government coming to hunt them down like the real Equality Association. They just sit there, spread the news, and wait for the money.

   Moreover, since the establishment of the Kip City sub-station, there has been no trouble, as if there has never been any fair activity here.

Based on these two aspects, the counterfeit gang is very relaxed. The only thing that is a little worried is that the workers who have been deceived by them will notice the abnormality. However, there seems to be no equals in Kip City. They guess that even if the workers find out that they are fake, it will take a long time. Things for the future.

   "Hurry up and eat. After eating, you and us go out to recruit people." The fake Verak who brought Verak over here yesterday urged.

   "How do we recruit specifically?" Verak was quite curious about how they would spread the publicity and let the surrounding residents know that the "Equality Association" is here to recruit people.

"It's like I brought you here yesterday. You go to the street to look, and if you see that it looks like you are coming to us, go up and make sure. If not, say you have admitted the wrong person. If so, pull it over and absorb it into the club. .” The fake Veraker instructed the real Veraker how to recruit people.

Verak raised his brows lightly, finished the food in his mouth and asked, "Isn't it? We just came here, so we shouldn't advertise it first and let people on Yale Street know that we are recruiting? Otherwise, they won't Know, how do we connect with people who want to join us?"

  Fake Verak snorted and put the meat on his dinner plate: "Our other comrades have already made arrangements before us. The residents here know that we will recruit people in this area today."

   "It's all arranged? Why didn't I see other comrades?" Verak looked around and pretended to be stupid.

   "Nonsense, you can't let all comrades see it, otherwise, is it still called lurking?" Fake Verak chewed his food and said.

   "Also..." Verak had an idea in his mind.

   Obviously, in addition to arranging a daily residence for this group of people, the government also helped them quietly spread recruitment information through its own convenience.

   Except for the risk of being abandoned by the government after being exposed, these people hardly need to make any effort. They just need to go to a fixed location to collect money according to the instructions every day.

   After chatting with the hotel owner, Bo Yin also sat down and ate: "Sean, you will go out with Verac and the others to pull people. When you meet them, they came here to find us and brought them directly to the door of the hotel."

   "Understood, Comrade Verak told me just now." Verak said.

   "Be careful outside, and be careful not to be discovered by the government." Fake Boyin specially told the seemingly ignorant Veraker hypocritically.

   "It's okay, I haven't been wanted yet, I'm the safest, but you all have to be careful." Verak laughed.

   "That's right." Fake Boyin followed suit with a smile.

   After the meal, the fake Veraker patted Veraker: "Are you finished? Come with me."

   "Then I'll go out with Comrade Verak to lure people first." Verak had almost finished eating, and when he saw that he wanted to drag him away, he greeted several people present and followed out.

"I'm right here, you go there." The fake Verak had a lot of thoughtfulness, and specially arranged himself in a place close to the hotel, keeping the real Verak far away. Relatively easy.

   "Okay." Verak didn't mind the problem of distance, because he didn't intend to pull the deceived people over.

  After being summoned to the designated location, Veraker was not sure whether there were people from the fake gang following him, so he looked around for a while in a pretentious manner, and went up to strike up a conversation with a few passers-by.

   Not long after, Benedict came to him.

Since Benedict dared to show up, he must have checked to ensure the safety of the surrounding area. Even if he didn't check carefully, and there were still people staring at him, Verac's communication with him would not arouse the suspicion of the possible monitors. After all, he was standing here. Ask passers-by if they are coming to join the Equality Association.

   "How is it? Is everything arranged?" Verak asked.

   "It's arranged, we have eyeliners all over the street." Benedict looked around with a look of vigilance.

   "Don't be so nervous, I was arranged by the counterfeit people to pull people, just act like a pedestrian who was stopped by me to ask the situation." Verak reminded, "What happened to the others?"

Benedict held back the vigilance visible to the naked eye, took a deep breath and said: "Comrade Catherine and Comrade Nord probably have contacted the deceived people, but I don't know the details yet, I have to wait for them Come and let me know."

"Okay, it looks like it hasn't been resolved for the time being. By the way, the owner of the hotel is with them, so be careful when you act." Viraktuo revealed the information he had newly obtained, "In addition, they and their group have no There were three guns by accident."

"No wonder they didn't make contact with them. They came here and lived there directly, and they can recruit people in the hotel openly..." Benedict suddenly realized, "Three guns are not a threat. When the time comes, we should cooperate internally and externally. Dispose of these gunmen."

   "Then we must maintain a good situation, don't hear the gunshots and everyone disperses, and no one will be arrested." Verak was afraid that the people would flee, and they organized this plan in vain.

"Comrade Keating has already warned you, so don't worry. As for the specific time of action at night, it depends on when Comrade Catherine and the others can organize a collective attack from the deceived people. Anyway, I will arrange for the next one when there is news." I'll let you know soon. You should know almost all of our people by now, right? It doesn't matter if you don't. Everyone has a brooch with a lily pattern on their left chest, and you can identify it yourself." Benedict didn't dare to talk to Vivian. Lak talked for too long, finished explaining what should be explained, passed Verak, and gradually walked away like an ordinary pedestrian.

  Verak behaved more naturally. After Benedict left, he shrugged his shoulders and began to turn his eyes around other passers-by, and then stepped forward from time to time to ask if they needed to buy books, pretending to be pulling people.

   An hour later, the hotel saw that Verak hadn't come back, so he arranged for the fake Verak who had just brought two workers over to check the situation.

   "What's going on?" Fake Verak rushed over to ask about the situation.

   "I can't pull anyone here." Verak looked anxious.

   "Why can't you pull people?"

   "I looked like they came to look for us, but I didn't go up and ask. It's been a long time, and no one has been pulled..." Verak was very annoyed, and he took advantage of the situation to ask fake Verak for help.

  Fake Verak said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you can see how I tell the difference first, and find the trick."

   "Okay, I will learn from you first!" Verak stepped aside.

"...Look, that worker has been observing the surrounding environment, but his eyes don't stay on the signboard. It is very likely that he came here to apply for membership." After a while, the fake Veraker pointed to a person on the street, and went straight forward after analyzing After inquiring, it turned out that the worker just heard the news and came to apply to join the Equality Association. "Understood? Observe carefully! I'm leaving first."

   "I understand, thank you." Verak watched the fake Verak and the deceived workers leave.

   It seems that such a passive coping is not an option.

  In order to avoid arousing suspicion, after 20 minutes, Vera pulled a comrade from the Equality Society branch back to the hotel and handed over ten gold grams.

   "Good job, keep up the good work!" Fake Boin valued that Veraker was willing to work for him, so he was not dissatisfied with taking so long to recruit someone.

   "Understood!" Verac didn't stay in the hotel, and went back to the street, and from time to time, he would pull a comrade from the Equality Association branch back to the hotel to deal with it.

  Time flies. After Verak had dinner at noon, he deliberately changed his outfit. It looked like Benedict, who was here for the first time, met Verak on the street.

   "So cautious? I almost didn't recognize it." Verak couldn't laugh or cry.

"In case someone is spying on you and you are recognized, wouldn't it be risky for me to come twice? So I changed my clothes, which is somewhat safer." Benedict came here in much better condition this time, and he looked genuine. Like a passer-by suddenly stopped by Veraker.

   "Is there any new development?" After laughing, Verak asked about the situation.

"Comrade Catherine and Comrade Nord have results. The deceived people have been mobilized and plan to arrest people together after get off work at ten o'clock in the evening. In fact, ten gold grams is a lot of money for them. , Many people couldn't wait until the evening, and wanted to go there immediately to get the money back, Catherine and Nord considered that the night is more suitable for us to act, so they stabilized the people." Benedict said.

Veraker remembered the critical time of ten o'clock in the evening: "These fakes handed over half of the money they cheated to the government. Even if they were caught, the money seized would definitely not be enough to make up for the losses of the people. .Does Mr. Keating have any thoughts on this matter?"

"This matter is difficult to deal with. You don't need to think about this group of counterfeiters and the government. One of them must not have enough money, and the other must refuse to admit it. So in the end, we can only see if we can come forward to provide compensation to the people." Mentioned this class Nidik was so angry, "But it's not easy for us to come forward. One is that we are not sure about the amount of deception, which is estimated to be a large sum of money. The other is that they have not done serious registration at all. There is no way to know who was cheated. We can’t give people money as soon as they say I was cheated. If we really want to do this, the money will never run out. Third, once we send it out, the government will know that equality will prevail. There is also a sub-station in Kip City, so if we act so cautiously and keep a low profile for several months, it will be in vain.”

   Benedict made a point.

  The counterfeit gang is estimated to have defrauded the public of tens of thousands of gold grams of money, and the monthly operating expenses of the Kipp City branch is less than two thousand gold grams.

  If the Equality Club pays for itself, that would be about half a year’s expenditure for a sub-station.

  Even if the money can be allocated, it is more difficult to trace the identity of the deceived people. Counterfeit gangs only register names, and do not record other identity information. The Equality Association does not know who to send money to. There are so many people with the same name and impersonation, it is impossible to send money to everyone.

  The last and most important thing is that if the Equality Association comes forward to make up for the losses of the people, it means that there are people from the Equality Association in Kip City.

Since the establishment of the sub-station, it has been careful not to be noticed. Recently, in order to ensure the safe development of factories and club schools, all other work has been suspended. If this matter is exposed, then they don’t have to beat around the bush and secretly guide the public to solve it. , the direct sub-station swaggered and brought the counterfeit gang to everyone's satisfaction.

"However, Comrade Keating said that he is still thinking of a way. No matter what, the Equality Association must help the people to make up for the cheated money. Otherwise, the government will step forward and send money to the cheated people with an innocent and righteous appearance. It will have a bad influence on us." Benedict said.

"That's right, for the people, they will definitely trust whoever gives them money. After all, spending money is much more sincere than talking about it." Verac agreed with Keating's move very much, "It's just that François is enough. Insidious, he has calculated every step. Even if the counterfeit plan fails, they can spit out the money they have eaten and earn the favor of the people for nothing."

"Yeah, fortunately we discovered it early, otherwise it would have turned into a big problem for us." Benedict felt terrified, he didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if the fake organization had really been active for a month , "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. After investigation, it is now confirmed that this group of counterfeiters appeared three days ago, that is, on the 15th. Today is the fourth block they cheated in Kip City."

   "Four blocks, one or two thousand people, it's really a headache..." Verak didn't know how to deal with the aftermath.

"Let's leave this matter to Comrade Keating." Benedict has seen Keating's calmness and strategy, and is quite assured that Keating can handle the trouble, "Okay, I'll go first. If the plan is temporary I'll let you know if there's a change, or see you at ten o'clock if there's no notification."

  Verak nodded slightly, reaching for the pistol at his waist with one hand: "See you at ten o'clock."
