Hearing the sound of an incoming call from his cell phone, Nate was in a daze. For a moment, he didn't realize that he was actually carrying a cell phone: in this place, which is definitely not close to civilization, the only thing worthy of praise for this thing is that it can emit light and can tell time.
However, mercenaries are very reluctant to carry sophisticated modern artifacts: this kind of thing with signals can easily be disturbed and turned into scrap metal, and it can also be easily used as a tracking target. Occasionally, some people will stare at such valuable things.
.
If it weren't for habit, I'm afraid Nate wouldn't have kept such a cumbersome thing on his body. Looking at the small screen, Nate seemed to recall how to answer the phone, and then swiped the screen after a while.
A familiar voice came from the other end. "Hey, Nate - I guess it's almost dark over there?"
——
Jiang Shao held up the phone and felt uneasy for a while. The dial tone was indeed a bit unusually long. He initially said that the area Nate chose to station in was "underdeveloped," but he didn't expect it to be a hotspot in Kazdale.
In that completely inhospitable place, it is difficult for electronic signals to be transmitted, and in some areas one has to rely on messengers.
Fortunately, the place where Nate is located is a rare "neutral trading zone". When basic safety is guaranteed, Black Steel will turn on the enhanced signal receiver at the same time every day at the outpost to send and receive messages.
These precious mobile instruments are powered by rare purified source stones and need to reduce consumption as much as possible. So if you want to contact Nate, you can only use this time to try your luck: if he is not too far away from the mobile signal source, the mobile phone signal
Barely able to receive it.
Fortunately, Nate finally answered the phone.
"It's getting dark soon, but it's still a little bright." There was a hint of joy in Nate's tired voice, "I haven't contacted Jiang for a long time. Are you okay?"
"Everything is fine." It's over. Could it be that you have been working for several days without taking a break? "Let me make sure you have just finished your work. If you have something else to do next -"
"It's okay, I just finished an operation and will go to rest later." Upon hearing this, Nate probably knew what the situation was. "We are all such close friends, don't be polite to me. What's wrong with me?"
Can you help?"
"Okay." Jiang Yan scratched his head guiltily on the phone, "This is what happened..."
After a simple exchange, Jiang Yan sent the photos of the scene to Nate. While analyzing, Nate confirmed some situations, such as whether any tools were found at the scene, and finally came to a conclusion:
"I am not a professional plastic surgeon, so I can only give some basic inferences: the shape of the muscle tissue of this face is not so natural, and it is likely that a knife has been used underneath. There are also some corners that look like...
Artificial tissue, possibly filler."
From this point of view, the statement that Jiang Yan heard about "Losasa plastic surgery" should be true. "These are enough. Thank you, it was a big help Nate."
"You'd better be busy with business - you've dragged us emergency workers here to ask for plastic surgery, who knows what you're thinking about." Nate smiled at the other end, and then said with concern: "
The information collected is suddenly so complicated, are you really okay?"
"I know what I'm doing and I'll take care of it," Jiang Shao replied, "I'll take care of it until everything I can do is done. When will I be able to go out to work? I'll treat you to a drink."
"I don't know - if someone replaces my position, I can take compensatory leave, and it's a long vacation." Nate yawned, he really needed a rest. "Let's get together then."
Without further greetings, Jiang Yan hung up the phone. The time reserved in the morning was almost over, and the results were far beyond expectations. Jiang Yan printed a copy of the information (did not forget to erase the watermark) and hurried out to bring it to the customer.
Breakfast.
Who knows why a panda eats spicy and spicy rice rolls in the morning?
——
He walked five more streets to take care of Uncle Dong's business who left early in the morning. Under the guidance of Uncle Dong, he found a rice roll shop that was willing to provide enough chili peppers. Jiang Yan carried breakfast to the hotel and patted Ti, who was slightly tired.
Ji and Lao Wang, Jiang Yan handed over one breakfast without spicy and one with mild spicy. "I'm here to change my shift, go and have a good rest."
Iron arm put out the cigarette, and once again there were holes in the filled ashtray. "Much better?" Seeing Jiang Yan's face, Iron arm knew that Jiang Yan's current condition was much better than when he first met yesterday. "Much better?"
It’ll be fine if I rest for two days, I can still stand it.”
"It's much better, at least it's not as uncomfortable as before." Jiang Yan patted the big guy on the shoulder. He knew that this guy was not talking politely. As a reliable veteran, Iron Arm was used to performing tasks for a long time, but it consumed too much energy.
After all, it's not a good thing. "Thank you for your concern. I'll take over."
"I will remember not to cross the line - get the job done, that's the most important thing."
Seeing Jiang Yan's serious eyes, Tieju knew that there was no need to say anything. He took the breakfast and handed over the post. Lao Wang walked behind, took the breakfast and said:
"Boy, I know you don't take this matter lightly, but my position is still on the side of the organization. I can only give you some suggestions from here." Lao Wang lowered his voice, "You guys from Rhode Island
Friends are not simple, if you need some information, maybe they will have something."
"...You hacked into their equipment?" Jiang Yan frowned, Lao Wang was not such a reckless person.
"As a local intelligence agent, I don't need to do anything myself to see certain trends. I can tell by looking at the traces. For example, they seem to have deliberately leaked some excessive information."
After saying that, Lao Wang said, "Next time, remember I like to eat barbecued pork" and left the duty station. Jiang Yan thought about it for a while, but this sentence gave a bit too much information.
Let's stop planning now. Thinking that the person behind the door is a popular movie star, and that this popular movie star is being monitored and "under house arrest" by them like a prisoner, a trace of sympathy arises in his heart. After clearing up his expression, Jiang Shao held the rice rolls.
He Yuwan pushed the door open and shouted:
"Hey, hey, rice rolls——"
Before he finished shouting that the rice rolls were here, Jiang Yan saw that the panda sitting by the window sill had changed into a completely different sitting posture today: now she was sitting cross-legged, with an otherworldly and worldly look on her backlit face, looking serious and solemn.
Violation.
"Big star," Jiang Yan asked cautiously, "which show are we performing today?"
"I have become enlightened." The iron-eating beast spoke slowly, with a calm expression and tone like an old monk who has been enlightened for many years. "Everything is an external thing. The only thing worth caring about is actually your own heart.
.”
Bad. Jiang Yan stood awkwardly for a while, "No, are you really that sad if you can't eat skewers?"
"Don't joke, I have ascended -"
"But I have rice rolls with a lot of spicy ingredients here?"
The iron-eating beast immediately put away his enlightened expression. "It won't be too late to ascend later. Bring me my chopsticks."
