If, in order to clean up this small group, we were alerted and missed the opportunity to attack their large force, it would be too much of a loss.
Verak felt that he would have to be an undercover agent for a while longer, and this might not be something that could be handled by the sub-station.
"That Sean... is here to stay... to influence us... or to do..."
"Sean is useful, you must endure it first...then take action..."
His own existence forces this group of people to pretend all the time. It seems that the fake Morais is a little dissatisfied with this and hopes that the fake Boyin will get rid of him. However, for a simple-minded person like 'Sean' who can do whatever he is told,
The fake boy was of great value to him, and he didn't want to just throw it away.
Afterwards, the people in the room talked about the specific amount of money they each received today. Verak felt that the important information had been grasped, and it would be dangerous to stay here to eavesdrop, so he returned to his room and lay down. Based on what he had learned so far,
Make guesses based on the information and adjust the action plan.
First of all, it has been determined that there are forces behind this group of people.
Their daily recruitment areas are arranged by the forces behind them, and in the end, 70% of the money they defraud has to be handed over. This shows that the behavior of pretending to be an Equality Association to make money should be directed and provided by the forces behind them.
So how big is the power behind this?
While eating in the cafeteria at noon, Verak learned from the workers that this group of counterfeiters had been active in the neighborhoods of Kip City at least a month ago, committing fraud.
And Kip City is not that big, so just a few teams of people can profit from such a small area, and there is no room for any more.
But based on the group of people I have come into contact with, it is impossible for several groups of people to exist in Kip City at the same time.
After all, information circulates in every street. The only team that Verak came into contact with included fake Boyne, fake Morais, fake Keating, fake himself and others, including almost all the equal members who could be named.
The wanted persons have all been arranged to come in. If there are really other teams, the other teams can only pretend to be some comrades of the Equality Society who are not well-known enough.
This is very unreasonable. Verak believes that if the forces behind it plan normally, they should set up several more teams and divide the main figures of the Equality Association into several teams. This team is led by Fake Boyin, and that team
Let the fake Morais lead the team. It won’t happen all at once.
All of them are big shots, and one of them is an unknown person. It is even more impossible for their identities to overlap, because once they overlap, someone claiming to be Chairman Boyin appears in the two neighborhoods at the same time. This matter is easily discovered, leading to their fraud.
If you don't attack, you will destroy yourself.
Putting all the characters together in one team, there is only one possibility in his eyes.
That is, there is only this fake team in Kip City.
Otherwise the logic makes absolutely no sense.
Following this line of thinking, the scope of influence of the force behind it will not be limited to Kip City. It is likely to be a well-organized large-scale counterfeiting gang that simultaneously controls teams from multiple places to commit fraud.
If you can follow the clues and find the people behind them, you may be able to uproot the gang and clean it up at once.
In addition to this conclusion, Verak also got another piece of information by just eavesdropping on the conversation between the fake gang.
This group of people want to meet with the forces behind it, not only to hand over 70% of the profits, but also to learn the location of the next day's activities.
This shows that the forces behind them are also in Kip City. Otherwise, just send the money and call to ask about the recruitment area tomorrow.
Is it just such a coincidence that the headquarters of this large counterfeiting gang is located in Kip City?
Unable to determine.
To put it bluntly, Verak still knows too little information now. These are all inferences he made based on the pitiful information. Whether it is true or not, and whether he can dig deeper, more information is needed to help support it.
,promote.
"Well..." Verak lay on the bed and massaged his temples to relax himself as much as possible. He couldn't think effectively without mixing his thoughts together.
All that can be done now is to contact Benedick who is squatting outside and ask him to track the fake organization later and find the people who are in contact with them and even the location of the headquarters.
If there is only one contact person, then you should stay put and look for opportunities to find out the headquarters of the fake organization and catch them all.
If the headquarters is really in Kip City, this matter needs to be considered in the long run and someone from the Equality Association headquarters can be sent to intervene.
There is not much movement outside yet, they are probably still in a meeting.
Verak got up, found paper and pen, wrote down the situation as briefly as possible, and entrusted Benedick to track down the fake gang members who would go out to meet the forces behind them, and then return to report the situation to him.
After finishing writing neatly, Verak came to the window, slowly opened the window, and cautiously glanced at the next room to make sure there was no danger there, and then he confidently stuck his head out to look for the squatting figure of Benedick.
.
Soon, Benedick, who was hiding in the dark corner, saw Verak and walked quickly downstairs illuminated by the street lights.
Verak didn't say anything, just crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it down. Then without stopping for too long, he closed the window and lay back on the bed.
After picking up the ball of paper and opening it to understand the situation and mission, Benedick hid in the darkness again, quietly waiting for the people from the fake organization to appear.
About ten minutes later, Verak, who was pretending to sleep, heard the door open next door.
The meeting is probably over.
Soon, his door was opened cautiously. Fake Boyin took a look and saw that he was sleeping soundly and snoring, so he closed the door and left as if nothing had happened.
Verak opened his eyes again, listening to all the subtle noises.
He couldn't sleep. He had to wait for Benedick to come back from the investigation and adjust his subsequent response plan based on what Benedick saw.

At the same time, in the office of the director of Nak Weaving Factory
Andre waited patiently for Winston to count today's production.
If it weren't for the fact that the counterfeit gang had diverted some energy away from starting statistics now, this result would have been obtained a few hours ago.
"It's out." Winston breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to look away from the list for half a second.
"How is it?!" Andre asked eagerly.
Even though they had previously said that they would accept it calmly no matter what, when it came time to find out, their hearts still rose in their throats involuntarily.
Winston looked away with difficulty, looked at Andre, and a smile gradually appeared: "Five times."
Five times!
Of course, most of the reasons for this are that each production line is equipped with machines and has been mechanized. However, according to Winston's calculations, machines alone can only increase the original output by three times, and now it can reach five times.
, the first goal was achieved on the first day, and it still relied on the strength of the workers!
"Five times?!" Andre thought he heard it wrong. He smiled happily and worriedly, "Really, it's really five times?!"
"A little more!" Winston felt the pressure on his shoulders disappear, and he felt lighter than ever before. He wanted to let go and yell a few times to release the squeezed emotions in his heart.
"Doesn't that mean we can break even?!" Andre asked.
"Yes, the first goal has been achieved! And this is only the first day. When we have more experience in arranging welfare facilities, we can cut unnecessary costs, absorb enough suggestions, optimize the production line and increase production capacity.
There is really hope that the goal of ten times can be achieved!" Winston said with a grin.
Andre leaned back and looked up at the ceiling: "Huh... I actually made a very optimistic estimate of the first day's output. Considering mechanization and the high morale of the workers, four times should not be a problem.
It’s so big that it won’t take long to break even after adjustments. I didn’t expect it to reach five times on the first day, which makes me feel a bit unreal...”
"What's not true?" There were only two of them in the room now, and Winston was curious about other people's feelings.
"How should I put it? I just discovered that it really can be that simple. It turns out that working for eight hours is also possible. It turns out that apart from oppressing and exploiting workers, there really is another more feasible way for factories to start growing...
This shock made Andre very confused, "Those are all wrong, they are really wrong. It is not right to let workers work until they die."
Yes, it is wrong to give them pitiful wages. We have found the correct answer. We can completely win-win and everyone's life can get better. When things have reached this point, it is not that it can only be like this, but
It's because those factory owners and capitalists are greedy, it's because they are greedy, there is no other problem..."
"Don't be so anxious to say this. This has just begun. Everyone's momentum must be very strong. There is no telling what will happen in the future. In short, after we have successfully operated for two months and increased our output ten times as much as before, we will become
To win the most successful weaving factory of the same scale, that is the real victory!" Winston couldn't laugh or cry at Andre's words. He felt that before it was time to talk about this, they were only half successful.
Andre took deep breaths frequently, trying to calm down, but he poured a glass of water tremblingly, spilling all over the table: "Comrade Winston, come and drink water."
Winston, who had his arms folded across his chest and smiled as he watched Andre shivering with excitement, quickly took away the documents and wiped away the water with a cloth: "Calm down, Comrade Andre!"
"I can't calm down anymore, hahahaha!" Andre knew that he was in trouble, so he laughed loudly.
"I really want to yell a few times now," said Winston.
"Then roar, such a big good thing should be made a fuss about. Especially you, as the main person in charge and initiator of the pilot factory, you are usually under too much pressure, and you should release it."
"No." Winston didn't do that. He smiled and shook his head, his face full of satisfaction. "Yelling like this at night would disturb others' rest. I don't have anything to vent about. When I saw this statistic, I just
I feel that everything is worth it and I will die without regrets.”
"You just said that this is where we are. Don't talk about death, we have to make greater achievements! This is just the beginning!" Andre picked up the water glass, "We haven't prepared any wine here.
Let’s celebrate with a glass of water first!”
"Okay." Winston raised his glass and drank the water in one gulp.
After drinking the water, Andre calmed down a little. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
"Verak will definitely be very happy when he knows about this." Thinking of Verak who was working on this matter with him, Winston couldn't wait to share the good news.
"Oh yes! Comrade Verak said before he left that President Boyne asked him to report on the situation in the factory tonight, but it is inconvenient for him to be an undercover agent in the counterfeit gang now. Let us talk to the president!" An
Andre remembered one more thing and immediately made a call.
It's already twelve o'clock in the evening.
Boyin, who was far away in Lezein, did not rest. As usual, he sacrificed part of his rest time to deal with the backlog of official duties, urging all substations to seize the time to investigate the counterfeit gangs, and tried his best to prevent more people from being deceived.
When his subordinate told him that there was a call from Nak Weaving Factory, he rushed over and answered it immediately.
"Hello? I'm Bo, ahem, Bo Yin."
"President! I'm Andre. The output of the factory on the first day has been calculated! Five times! Five times! We achieved breakeven on the first day! We can make money even if we work for eight hours! Give the workers more
Good treatment can also make money! We are half successful! Let Comrade Winston tell you the details!" Andre said loudly to the phone and handed the phone to Winston.
"President, I am Winston." Winston said.
Boyin was amused by Andre's incoherence: "Haha, tell me carefully."
"The situation is as Comrade Andre said. On the first day, the production capacity reached five times the original level, directly achieving our first goal... I remain optimistic about the subsequent performance, because the cost should be able to drop further.
, the output can also be mentioned again, there is still a lot of room for improvement... I still dare not guarantee 100%
It proves that we will definitely succeed, but at least with such an outstanding and amazing performance on the first day, we want to achieve the final goal and become the most profitable weaving factory, so that all profit-seeking factory owners will flock to imitate and learn, no longer
It is our bold fantasy, but a reasonable estimate based on the actual situation..."
"Okay." Boyin called Morais over and listened to the good news together, "Ahem, I'm very happy that our attempt has taken the first successful step. I've always been very ahem,
I believe in you, and I know we will succeed..."
Winston's eyes were moist.
The research he has done in recent years has not been in vain, and his enthusiasm is not without value.
What the future world should be like has been sketched out bit by bit by him.
"Comrade Boyin." Winston wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said happily, "I seem to have seen the future."
——
May 18th, one o'clock in the morning
Verak, who had not yet fallen asleep despite being sleepy, heard a cat meowing outside. He jumped up from the bed, got out of bed, opened the window and looked around.
Finally he saw Benedick waving to him at the corner.
He hasn't heard anything going on outside yet. The people sent by the fake organization to contact him probably haven't come back yet. Why did Benedick find him first?
Before he could think about it, Benedick accurately threw a paper ball through the window into his room.
Picking up the ball of paper, Verak stood in front of the window and unfolded it to check the information that Benedick had detected.
After just a glance, his eyes widened at the content written inside, and then he quickly looked at Benedick downstairs, making silent confirmation through his eyes.
