old fire thieves

Chapter 26 No.20 Act Six. Turn the Board Over

"According to our previous investigations and police files, in Southwest Province, there are generally three illegal organizations operating in Jingjiang as their main base. I mentioned this before."

Sitting on the bed, Ai Lian played with the end of her hair with one hand, and said lightly.

"The first one is called Jiangcheng Trading. On the surface, it is a trading company dealing in import and export goods. In fact, it will smuggle some high-profit luxury goods, and occasionally include relics from the abyss. We robbed this company last time."

"The second one is Taoyuan Company. This company is an intermediary company, but it actually operates illegal industries including underground casinos and black markets. This Guo Long, Brother Long belongs to this company."

"The third is Gujing Industry. This company once invested in factories in Jiangbei District, um, those used as warehouses before. Now it mainly makes money by selling chocolates. Of course, there are also underground businesses."

"Wait, chocolate?"

Bai Ge didn't quite understand the relationship between illegal organizations and chocolate.

"In this day and age, the candy industry like chocolate is hugely profitable. It is much more lucrative and less risky than selling illegal drugs. Why can't illegal organizations sell chocolate?"

Lovely asked back as it should.

"You go on, miss love."

Bai Ge shut up honestly.

"Well, these three illegal organizations have existed in Southwest Province for more than ten years. During the most chaotic period five years ago, there were even street fights. Of course, this is what I wrote in the files."

Love said as if helplessly.

Fighting in the street?

so messy?

Bai Ge recalled the five years he lived in Jingjiang, as if he had never seen such a thing.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, this is Jingjiang's style of painting.

"Why don't you ban these organizations even though you know they are illegal?"

Bai Ge couldn't help asking again.

"Well, there are two reasons. The first is that five years ago, these illegal organizations probably offended some ascended person, and they were slapped from top to bottom. Until today, there is no way to form a climate, and they can only make small troubles. Nothing to be afraid of."

Ai Lian let go of the hand that was holding the tip of her hair, and sat up a little bit.

"Besides, according to the investigation at the time, after these three companies, there is another illegal organization that hides deeper. The higher-ups have always wanted to put a long line to catch big fish and catch them all. That's why they turned a blind eye to their existence."

"Upgraded..."

Bai Ge brainstormed the plot of the movie. The ascendant who returned to the countryside was annoyed by the local illegal organization. He carried the head of the little gangster all the way to kill the boss, and defeated all the opponents. It seemed quite interesting.

Glancing at Baige, Ai Lian sighed slightly, and continued speaking.

"Honestly speaking, if it's just a simple casino, black market, or smuggling, it's not under the jurisdiction of our Abyssal Relics Affairs Department. It's the police's business. At most, when we find abyssal relics, we will go out and contain them."

However, she directed Baige to pour a glass of water, and after drinking it like a cat, she continued.

"This incident involves the ascended person. Well, even though it's just an ordinary person with the ability to ascend the person, the potion still cannot be ignored."

"This medicine is from an illegal organization, er, from Taoyuan Company, what are they doing with it?"

Bai Ge suddenly thought of many possibilities.

If this medicine can be mass-produced, wouldn't it be equivalent to quickly cultivating a large number of troops with the extraordinary ability of the ascenders in a short period of time, and if it falls into the hands of illegal organizations, it may cause great harm to social order.

Or Taoyuan Company simply got this batch of goods and was going to resell them. In order to verify the effect, they gave it to the teller.

Compared with illegal drugs or antiques, this medicine is obviously more valuable.

Tao Lao said before that Yasen Luoping’s monocle can be sold for 70 yuan on the black market, and the corresponding upgrade rainbow should be similar. In conversion, the minimum cost of cultivating a second-level upgrader is 70 yuan.

And this potion can make people directly have the ability of a second-level upgrader. Although it has obvious side effects on ordinary people, if it has cultivated some first-level upgraders, it can be used to temporarily increase combat power.

As long as the price is right, Bai Ge feels that someone will definitely want it.

Rather than using it for himself, it is better to sell it. If he is the corresponding criminal, he will probably consider it this way.

"Well, let's not mention those first, what I suspect is that these potions are related to that unknown fourth-level upgrader."

Putting the water glass on the desk, Ai Lian was a little satisfied after listening to Bai Ge explaining her thoughts.

"The one at school?"

Since that day, Bai Ge has never heard anything related to Ai Lian. If he hadn't been in the secret room, he might have thought it was just his hallucination and dream.

But strangely, after that, Bai Ge and Ai Lian went to school normally, and did not encounter any temptation or attack from the ascended person.

This feeling is very subtle, as if there is actually another side to the familiar person around him.

But since Ai Lian hadn't mentioned it before, Bai Ge stopped asking.

The more you know, the more you don't know, Bai Ge has this feeling more and more recently.

Baige, oh Baige, sometimes it's better to be stupid.

he thought.

"Although I don't know how this potion is made now, it must have something to do with the ascenders. In Jingjiang's illegal organization, there are very few ascenders. Even if there are, the first-level ascenders are not qualified to make this potion. The ability to... ah, go water these."

Ai Lian asked Bai Ge to water the green plants by her window, and then continued to briefly analyze after he came back.

"In other words, among them, at least one ascender of level three or above was involved, and it happened that we met an ascender who was likely to have level four at school. I don't believe in too much coincidence. There should be some kind of connection."

"You mean, that Tier [-] upgrader manufactured this potion and sold it to illegal organizations for profit?"

Bai Ge, who was watering, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of another possibility.

"Or, he himself is the leader behind these illegal organizations?"

Beneath the surface, perhaps there is truth?

"Five years ago, an ascended person came to Jingjiang. He was hit hard by an illegal organization and was unable to recover. At the same time, behind these three illegal organizations was a very powerful illegal organization. Two points lead to the fact that the illegal organization in Jingjiang has not been eradicated for the time being."

Ai Lian said in a deep voice.

"But if the chessboard is turned over, the mastermind behind the illegal organization, it is with these considerations in mind, that they do such a thing on purpose?"

The appearance of the matter is the situation of the illegal organization mentioned before Ai Lian.

And the truth of the matter, if this is all an arrangement made by the managers of illegal organizations to survive...

Five years ago, an ascendant came to Jingjiang and took over the largest illegal organization here. He had fierce conflicts with the other three organizations, which eventually caused the three to be greatly weakened.

As a result, the three illegal organizations were saved from the fate of being completely eradicated, and at the same time, they were also brought under the control of the organization governed by the ascended person.

"The routines of city people are so deep."

Bai Ge couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Anyone who engages in such an illegal organization has a dirty heart.

Bai Ge, as a just and good citizen who loves peace, expresses his contempt for this kind of behavior.

He was already thirsty, so Bai Ge poured half a glass of water out of the cup, and just as he brought it to his mouth, he suddenly felt a little confused.

"However, Tier [-] upgraders are already very powerful. I didn't expect to participate in illegal organizations?"

In Baige's view, Tier [-] is already a long way off. A person who has been promoted at this level is relegated to doing things in a small city, just like a world-class sprinter participating in a primary school sports meeting. .

"The action goal of most ascenders is nothing more than to advance along the chain of promotion. In the process of promotion, money is indispensable. The historical fragments corresponding to the rank are not cheap, and many of them cannot even be measured by money. What you buy is just the front things in exchange for those things.”

"If you are a Tier [-] upgrader, you must have at least three successors. The historical fragments needed to be promoted to Tier [-] are of high status and are extremely scarce. Even at the national level, they are also strategic materials."

"Even if you are a Tier-[-] upgrader, if you want to buy a historical fragment that meets Tier-[-] personality, you need more than money."

"In addition, there are some special reasons belonging to the ascended, which will make them do some things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. You will know about these later."

Ai Lian explained a few sentences, but did not go into depth.

No, I don't want to know.

Bai Ge silently shook his head in his heart, and at the same time Gulu took a sip of cold water.

"...Wait, according to this line of thinking, the goal of continuing to investigate becomes to find the illegal organization hidden behind the scenes, and find out the ascendant."

Skipping from this topic, he straightened out his thoughts and raised new questions.

"Then shall we search the entire Jingjiang to find similar criminal cases committed by people who have taken drugs, or directly check the water meters in the homes of those illegal organizations?"

"No, there is a simpler and more effective way."

Love said calmly.

"Ascenders produce these medicines, and they must sell them for money. Finding a reliable buyer is a troublesome thing. With the detection of the theft and the exposure of the medicines, these guys will be more cautious and it will be more difficult for them to sell them. The goods are released."

"?"

Hearing this, Bai Ge already had a bad feeling.

"So, without a buyer, we'll make them a bad one."

She smiled slightly and pointed to Bai Ge.

"It's time for you to be promoted. As a phantom thief, contact illegal organizations and buy potions. Sounds good?"

Hearing this, Bai Ge couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

This guy is going to fish for law enforcement.

"Hey, wait, me, promotion?"

Only after realizing the meaning of love, Bai Ge was stunned.
