"I heard... that a group of infected people came to Longmen - from Ursus." Xingxiong's voice was low and he was the first to break the silence:
"Do you have an idea?"
Afa raised his eyes and said in a slightly surprised tone: "Have infected people from other regions come to Longmen? And they came from Ursus... What kind of channels did they use?"
"It's like taking a boat - this is not clear yet, it is some informal channels anyway. But the focus now is not how they came, but what they came to do." Xingxiong scratched his horn in distress.
:
"Unlike other patients, their behavior is full of discipline. There are also personnel responsible for eliminating traces: the Guards Bureau has only recently discovered some clues, and now it is not even clear what their physical condition is. You should watch
We have stepped up patrols because of this incident."
Ah Fa nodded: "Indeed, Lao Huang brought a new person on patrol recently. But the patrol has been strengthened to collect clues... This is not the style of the Guard Bureau. Could it be because..."
"That's right." Xingxiong replied without covering up, with a wry smile: "We don't have any other clues, and we are forced to a dead end."
"That's why you came to me as an 'informal channel' to get information?" Afa sighed and took out a cigarette again.
Ah Fa had an unlit cigarette in his mouth and was just playing with the lighter in his hand. Xingxiong waited patiently. Except for the sound of Ah Fa opening and closing the lighter, the whole bar was eerily quiet.
Jiang Yan stood behind the bar, neither listening nor walking, so he could only pretend to wipe the cup that could be used as a flashlight.
If it were possible, he would be breaking out in a cold sweat by now: what he heard was considered "inside information" - internal information belonging to official channels. Considering Afa's status as a Yakuza hero, this conversation may not necessarily be his.
A wage earner can listen to it.
However, for him, the benefits behind this risk were considerable. After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Yan wiped the wine glass and kept a poker face as much as possible, waiting for Ah Fa to reply.
If Ah Fa really has clear information, then he can ask Lao Wang to issue a mission——
Ah Fa finally stopped playing with the lighter with his right hand, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and sighed: "To be honest - there is really no other news about this matter."
Xing Xiong shrugged nonchalantly and said with a helpless smile: "Really... there's nothing we can do about it."
Afa was smoking a cigarette without a puff, frowning, and thinking about this matter very seriously. For him, the presence of an unknown external force among the underground forces also gave him a headache: an unknown person.
, it is too great to be able to avoid the variables brought about by the disciplinary organization of the Guards Bureau.
"...But to say that I don't have any clue, that's not true." Afa put out the butt of the cigarette and said softly:
"If they come to Longmen in this way, then it is naturally impossible for them to act openly. It is normal for the Guards Bureau to have no clues. And if there is no information about the underground forces, it is impossible. Unless there is
…”
Xing Xiong's deep voice replied: "They hired some underground forces to protect them."
"——Or, they themselves are frequent visitors to Longmen, and even have some influence. Sister Gui's sword is not old yet, so she can guess the second one as well." After Afa finished speaking, he asked Xingxiong: "Then since
Sister Gui has already guessed this, do you have any other plans?"
"A little bit, but you need to cooperate." Xingxiong patted him on the shoulder: "I will contact you when the time comes. If you can't help, don't force it - this matter may have something to do with the person named Huang."
She stood up and left the bar, and said to Jiang Xie: "I'll pay for the drinks on credit first, and your boss will bear the burden for me - the craftsmanship is good, and I will come again in the future." After that, she picked up her clothes, pushed the door open and left the bar."
Seeing that Brother Fa remained silent, Jiang Yan silently handed him a glass of colorless drink.
"I used to hear that food doesn't taste good when people are worried, but now I believe it. Why does this white wine taste bad?"
"...Brother Fa, this is soda water."
Three black lines were pulled out from Ah Fa's head: "Do you have any ideas?" Jiang Yan curled his lips: "I didn't hear anything just now." Ah Fa sighed and drank the soda water in one gulp: "Forget it, I want to
You are not a person of the Tao either, so there is no point in asking this...just pretend I haven't asked."
Jiang Yan shrugged. Ah Fa made it very clear yesterday. As long as he talks less, he won't ask more questions. He's still new here, so it's not appropriate to take the initiative to cause trouble.
"Brother Fa, it's time to replenish the stock. I have almost used up the ingredients when serving wine to Sister Gui just now." Jiang Yan imitated Ah Fa's way of calling Xing Xiong and asked: "Look -"
"You write down what you need, and I'll find someone to organize it. Just put the list on the table when you get off work." After saying that, Afa set out, but instead of going upstairs, he walked towards the outside of the bar.
"I guess no one will come tonight. You can leave work at your leisure."
The doorbell rang and Jiang Yan was the only one left in the bar. Now he finally had time to process the information he just heard.
Those things that he had no clue and no way to investigate were not within the scope of Jiang Yan's consideration, so he just sorted out the information again. But there was one thing that was indeed very concerning:
Why Ursus?
After the Illaina incident, Ursus saw more and more frequent riots by infected people. The local government is putting further pressure on them. It may not be a big deal for infected people to use illegal means to come to Longmen. For Longmen, the trouble is finding them.
No trace of them.
What surprised Jiang Yan was that there were actually infected people who were able to leave Ursus, where the situation was grim. This was no small matter.
It seems necessary to meet Lao Wang secretly.
——————————
Sure enough, as Afa expected, there have been no customers at Wuming Bar since he left, and he himself has not even come back. Jiang Shao still keeps the shop alone until get off work, writing a replenishment list. Now he is returning to Shen
On the road to the Mo family.
"I finally got everything done this time... Having said that, even if I am a gangster, isn't it a bit unreasonable to work the night shift at this point? Forget it, after all, I am just a temporary worker, and I don't understand the market yet."
Jiang Yan rubbed his eyes, yawned, and muttered to himself all the way to the downstairs of Shen Mo's house. It was still dark, and the nightfall made him feel sleepy: too many things have happened in the past two days.
That is to say, Shen Mo took a short rest when he woke up from coma, but now he really couldn't stand it any longer.
