Chapter 0404 Sure enough, they are still doing ghosts
This building is much livelier than Jiang Yue imagined, and there are far more people than just the lobby on the first floor.
Jiang Yue calmed down and observed through his ears and eyes, he found that in addition to the first floor, there were sounds of active people everywhere on several floors above.
However, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. If cartloads of supplies are constantly being transported, space will naturally be needed to accommodate them. If there are too many supplies, the entire building may be filled.
"It seems that this buyer is really fearless. He secretly trades and stores materials in the busy city, and even stores them openly. He doesn't take the official power into consideration at all? Is he really not afraid of being discovered by the officials and trying to bring him to justice?"
Jiang Yue secretly thought, maybe he is really that confident.
How could the other party dare to be so unscrupulous if they hadn't cleared many official links?
The government is official, but every individual in the official body may inevitably have selfish motives.
As long as some important people open a back door, in today's world, these guys can be like a fish in water.
But I don’t know, who are the great minds behind this buyer?
While Jiang Yue was observing, bursts of screams suddenly came from the third floor.
Listening to the screams, it was obvious that this man was suffering great physical pain.
Listening carefully, Jiang Yue heard the sound of whipping. Every time he was whipped, the man's screams sounded like a pig being slaughtered throughout the building.
Although there are many people in the whole building, in fact everyone is working quietly. Apart from the sound of work, no one is talking or chatting.
Therefore, the sudden screams sounded very abrupt.
All the people who were working stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound. Everyone's face was full of panic, and they could not hide the fear in their hearts.
Soon, the sound spread from the third floor to the second floor, and Jiang Yue also heard the sound of dragging. It was obvious that the beaten man was being dragged all the way down the stairs.
From time to time, it was accompanied by fierce scoldings from others: "Open your eyes one by one and take a look carefully. This is what happens when you secretly hide supplies."
Soon, two powerful men dragged a man in work clothes all the way to the first floor.
The man was about forty years old. He was already very thin. He was grabbed by the feet and dragged backwards. His whole body was covered in blood and flesh. It was estimated that many bones were broken when he went down the steps. His whole body looked...
It was already limp when it went up, like a dead dog that had resigned to its fate.
"I've seen it all clearly. If anyone thinks you are smarter than him, if anyone thinks you can hide secretly and avoid our search, just try it. However, you know the rules here. At this time, don't
It’s our fault that we are responsible for killing and not burying them.”
Obviously, the two armed men deliberately dragged and displayed it on every floor in order to scare other staff and warn them not to be clever or try to hide food and take it out.
This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Their goal was obviously achieved. Every staff member was silent, with pale faces, fearful eyes, and worried hearts.
The two armed men were obviously very satisfied with the effect. They dragged the staff member towards the basement with exaggerated movements as if they were boasting.
The man was originally lifeless, but when he saw them going to the basement and knew that they were going to execute him, his strong desire to survive made him use up his last strength to struggle.
At the same time, he couldn't help but beg: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong. Give me a chance, I will work hard and never dare to do it again. I can't help it, woo woo
Ugh, there are six people in my family eating, and the food every day is too little. My mother is so hungry that she can't get out of bed. I just want to bring her some milk powder to supplement her nutrition and breathe a sigh of relief. I...
I really have no choice."
This man couldn't stop begging. When the other staff members heard this, they felt extremely uncomfortable. It was obvious that they felt a little bit sad.
Isn’t this the case for everyone?
There is not enough food at home, and we are almost running out of food.
I work here to get a small ration, which is not enough to feed the whole family. Sometimes I can't even get enough food and clothing, and there is no meal. Faced with these mountains of food supplies, any normal person will have all kinds of thoughts.
But most of the time, this idea will be restrained by them.
Because the rules here are so strict. Stealing food is not as simple as being fined and expelled, but you will actually be beaten, even beaten to death, or even executed.
The temptation of food is great, but it requires life to pay for it. At least most people are not willing to take the risk to this point.
But when the time comes when the whole family can't open the pot, no one dares to guarantee whether it will come to this point.
Obviously, this person has reached this point of desperation now.
As long as the family can survive, who is willing to risk their lives?
Although most people here don't know this poor guy, everyone is full of sympathy for him at this moment, as if they see their own future in him.
Of course, sympathy is sympathy, but at this time, it is impossible for anyone to stand up and fight against injustice.
I could only watch helplessly as the man was dragged towards the basement, his screams of death making people extremely heart-wrenching.
Bang bang bang!
Soon there were armed men knocking on the metal fences and yelling: "Work, work! If you're afraid of death, just be honest!"
These armed men are obviously quite intimidating at ordinary times and have a great deterrent effect on these staff members.
After shouting and scolding, everyone lowered their heads and started working.
A living human life disappeared like this. The scene quickly returned to its previous dull atmosphere, and the staff were like walking zombies, numbly and mechanically repeating the work at hand.
Although Jiang Yue sympathized with that man, he knew very well that he could not save him at all.
Even if he took action at all costs, he couldn't save the other person at all, because the guy was dragged all the way and beaten severely, which was equivalent to losing half his life.
Even if Jiang Yue could allow him to escape death, there was no way he could escape from this building.
Moreover, if you don't get timely treatment, even if you go out with a breath, you will still die in the end.
I had to harden my heart and ignore this matter, lest I expose myself and delay the true purpose of this trip.
Jiang Yue knew that he could not stay in the same place for too long, otherwise he would be easily discovered, and at the same time he would not be able to fully gain more confidence.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from the basement, and then a familiar voice.
"Listen to me. When issuing transaction certificates, you must investigate the identity of the other party. Traders who have no trace or suspicious behavior are best not to come here. Although we are not afraid of being discovered, we cannot resist those with ulterior motives.
Come to cause trouble, you know?"
This person's voice was clearly that of the man with gold-rimmed glasses who was in charge of the transaction previously.
From the scolding tone of this man, it was obvious that his status was not low.
The people around him could only respond submissively.
"Mr. Wang, in fact, most of the people we are trading with have official status. No matter how good they are, they are just temporary workers, and they all have a foothold. Some of them are middle and high-level people in enterprises, and they are basically related to industries such as food and medicine, and
The identity can be checked. We generally do not issue trading certificates to people whose identities are unknown. Even if we do, they have to find an official person to vouch for it."
"Well, keep your spirits up. Just because no one is here to cause trouble, it doesn't mean there won't always be trouble," said Mr. Wang, the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
"Yes, you have also seen our security. If someone who is short-sighted really comes to cause trouble, we will definitely make them regret it."
"This kind of thinking of underestimating the enemy is terrible. Those who really want to cause trouble must have some skills. Let me reiterate that this batch of materials is very important to the superiors and is a strategic reserve. If anyone makes a mistake, he will be a sinner.
, maybe you will lose your head. I am no exception."
Mr. Wang's tone was very serious, and the words "head-off" didn't sound like a joke.
"Yes, we will never underestimate the enemy. We must be on strict alert 24 hours a day."
While they were answering, Mr. Wang and others walked further and further away, and their voices became farther and farther away.
But for Jiang Yue, even if they walked a hundred meters away, he could still hear them clearly as long as they spoke at a normal volume.
Mr. Wang finally approached a certain office.
Jiang Yue already had a basic understanding of the layout of this building through observation.
He quickly got out of the corner, dodged a few times, and rushed to the vicinity of the office.
As expected, there were two armed men walking back and forth at the door of the office, which was heavily guarded.
Jiang Yue stopped at the corner and ducked into another room in the corner.
There was no one in this room for the time being, Jiang Yue had noticed it early.
However, Jiang Yue soon realized that although this room was temporarily unoccupied, someone must be working here.
Because there are still documents on the table, the desktop is a little messy and not tidy. The tables and chairs in the room are very clean and free of dust.
The most important thing is that there is a teacup with half a cup of tea in it, but it is already cold.
It can be seen that the owner of this room has been away for a long time.
This room was only one room away from the room that Mr. Wang entered, and the straight-line distance was no more than fifteen meters. Even with those two walls, Jiang Yue could still clearly hear the voices speaking over there.
A slightly hoarse voice in the room asked: "Xiao Wang, how are you doing today?"
"Mr. Hong, today is much more lively than yesterday, and I believe tomorrow will be even more lively than today. If we continue at this rate, I believe we can complete the task on time and in a quantitative manner."
"Haha, it seems that you are very optimistic, Xiao Wang! I also observed it and found that we are indeed doing well. These batches of supplies are constantly being shipped, which makes me feel at ease. However, we still cannot take it lightly. Star City has a lot of resources, but
After all, it is limited. I’m afraid it will reach a certain peak and then slowly decline.”
"Mr. Hong's concerns are reasonable, but I believe that after these people taste the benefits of the body tempering liquid, they will work harder to collect supplies. If they cannot collect them through conventional means, they will definitely adopt more radical methods."
"We don't worry about what means they use. But the standards for checking these people's heels must not be relaxed. I don't need to say more about this, right?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Hong. I emphasized this point to them just now. I promise that we will find out the identity of every trader clearly. If anyone dares to do something wrong, we can find him in half a day."
.What are these people working so hard for, other than for their families? They will not risk the safety of their families, so you can rest assured.”
"Yes, Xiao Wang, you are getting more and more stable in your work. I am very optimistic about you. If you can successfully complete the task this time, I will take the initiative to apply for an internal review for you. As long as you pass the internal review, you will be awarded an internal medal. When the time comes,
You are the three-star backbone of the organization, and you have certain authority to interpret the organization's internal secrets."
Mr. Hong's words were obviously a very tempting pie. After hearing this, Xiao Wang became obviously excited.
Jiang Yue could hear his deliberately suppressed breathing through the two walls, showing an obvious rush.
Three stars, internal medal...
These keywords allowed Jiang Yue to further confirm his previous guesses.
"Sure enough, these writings are inseparable from that mysterious organization."
During the Yinyuan Apartment haunting incident, Jiang Yue, as Master Liu, controlled one of the key members of the mysterious organization, Master Liu's superior, Mr. Zhan.
At that time, Jiang Yue learned about some organizational structure issues from Mr. Zhan. He knew that the internal personnel review of this organization was very strict, and he had to pass the review and receive an internal medal before he could be considered a formal member of the organization.
And most people are just people on the periphery of the organization.
Jiang Yue even suspected that those armed personnel with live ammunition were only peripheral mercenaries, tool thugs at best, and had absolutely no real internal identity.
Xiao Wang's excited reaction also proves this point.
"It seems that today's trip was not in vain."
Jiang Yue was secretly excited. This organization has always been extremely mysterious. He didn't know their whereabouts, their organizational structure, or even who they were.
The impression this organization gave Jiang Yue was that everyone might be hiding among the crowd, just like ghosts, and they could only be seen in the underground world.
"Mr. Hong, if I can get the internal medal this time, you will be my great benefactor. From now on, I, Xiao Wang, will listen to Mr. Hong. I will do whatever Mr. Hong asks me to do. I'll fight wherever you point me. If there's even the slightest chance,
Vague, you slapped me with your big mouth."
"Hahaha, don't I understand you, Xiao Wang? If I can't trust you, how can I fight for this job for you? How can I try so hard to promote you? Work hard, you are a talented person, maybe one day you can do it.
Climb higher than me. I think highly of you."
"It was all Mr. Hong who promoted and cultivated me and took care of me, Xiao Wang. Without Mr. Hong, how could I, Xiao Wang, be where I am today?" Xiao Wang's tone was humble and flattering.
"Work hard. Today's supplies must be sorted out and transported overnight. Are there any difficulties on your side?"
"It's not difficult to talk about, but if the supply of body tempering liquid can be sufficient, I may be able to take greater steps."
"Well... Xiao Wang, I have tried my best to fight for you. As you know, with such a huge demand, the supply from above is also tight. For now, we can only make it according to such a big pot.
So much food.”
The two of them murmured, but provided Jiang Yue with a lot of information.
