Chapter 10 Sun's Dyeing Workshop
Fallen gods?
The open-minded Qian Sanhe looked at Bai Ruosu blankly, not understanding what she wanted to do for a while.
If the interrogation fails, there's no need to rob the sex, right?
But at the moment when the patrol envoy's waist card manifested the day tour patrol envoy, Qian Sanhe's expression suddenly froze.
He seemed to be robbed of his mind by some kind of force, and the whole person froze in place, while black particles appeared from between the skin and flesh in his chest, converging into a black dog's hideous appearance, and was completely crushed in the next second!
"Heh~cough!"
As if he had been hit hard, Qian Sanhe woke up suddenly, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, like a drowning person escaping, constantly taking deep breaths and coughing violently.
"The person who lost the jade card to you is a believer in a certain cult, a brainless fool, who thinks he has taken advantage, but he doesn't know that there is a trace of the power of the fallen gods hidden in that jade card, and wearing it on your body for a long time will only make you their puppet."
Bai Ruosu withdrew his waist card and said in a cold voice.
"That bastard, I must find him and make him pay!"
Feeling the changes in his body, and then remembering the words engraved on the waist card just now, Qian Sanhe cursed the cultist for a while, and then fell to his knees in a hurry.
"Your Excellency, your life-saving grace is unforgettable."
"Go find the person who lost the jade card to you, don't startle the snake, stare at him, and contact me through this address, there's only so much you have to do."
After learning the information he wanted from Qian Sanhe's mouth, Bai Ruosu casually tore off a piece of cloth and wrote on it a property shop outside Baifu, which was barely a contact information.
The communicator has not yet been popularized in the city of Xudu, and some of the official institutions can complete a full assembly.
Qian Sanhe took the piece of cloth and nodded repeatedly.
Got up and grabbed the wine jar that was only a little bottom, and without looking back, he went into the alley next to him, and soon fled without a trace.
As for whether he would track down the cultist who had trapped him, Bai Ruosu didn't care much.
Yudu has been peaceful for too long, and there are always some people who think that the limelight has passed over these years and want to secretly develop their forces, and she has encountered similar things too many times as an envoy.
In any case, the most important thing is to find out about the incense robbery.
Qian Sanhe's discovery was undoubtedly an accident.
Because of his own influence on the jade plate, he was able to see what happened that night.
This is precisely the direction of Bai Ruosu's investigation.
The fact that the ghosts can't transfer the pious incense doesn't mean that the group of fallen gods can't, their methods are completely different from the former, and they are also not within the jurisdiction of the underworld, and there is no way to track them down.
That's right, it is very likely that the person who created the incense robbery case was the group of "rats" who had been hiding in the ditch for many years!
I didn't expect them to be able to make a comeback.
What does the fallen god represent. Fallen gods?
Looking at Bai Ruosu's uncertain expression, Yan Jing was also thinking in his heart.
The main quest requires him to take down at least three Evil Heads or Fallen Gods.
Yan Jing was familiar with the evil spirit, but he really didn't understand this so-called fallen god.
Qian Sanhe's description of the jade plaque in his hand reminded Yan Jing of a certain god in the present world.
After thinking about it, I felt a little nonsense.
The torch mentions "Shinto collapse" in its description of this world.
How far has it been?
It's a pity that it hasn't reached the point of taking the initiative to speak yet, and Yan Jing needs a suitable opportunity to complete his "evolution".
It's like the old man in the ring, who has to lie dormant for a while at first.
Therefore, now she can only follow Bai Ruosu's thoughts, hoping that she can find something through the clues she has just collected.
Fortunately, Bai Ruosu now has a clue.
By analyzing the clues given by Qian Sanhe, a clear clue vein has emerged in her mind.
It is very likely that the mastermind behind the incense robbery case evaded the follow-up search of the Three Law Divisions through the follow-up search of the fallen god believers, but there are also flaws in this method.
Unlike ghost riders who need to pay a heavy price to harness the ghosts, who use their abilities, the cultists of the fallen gods need to pay for their own souls if they want to use their supernatural abilities.
The transfer of several tons of goods, or on the premise of concealing the search of ordinary people and the three law divisions, it can be said that every second requires the fallen god believers to pay a lot of price to barely get in place.
In addition, during this time, the blockade and search of the area around the incident by the Three Law Divisions almost never stopped.
Bai Ruosu had reason to believe that the stolen goods were still near the incident point, and the robbers could only slowly move the goods away by transferring them separately.
So here's the problem.
With such a large volume of cargo, where can they be stored?
Xudu City, Chongling Block.
This is the area where the incense robbery took place, and it is also the industrial area of the whole city.
The number of houses and shops was drastically reduced, and some old workshops and light industrial factories were replaced.
The daylight hours in winter were already short, and when Bai Ruosu arrived here with Yan Jing, it was already dark.
It's past the end of the day, it's time to eat, there are far fewer pedestrians on the streets, and most of the factories have ceased to operate, except for some workshops with lights still on the heights.
Standing on a street corner.
Yan Jing held a black umbrella in his hand, shrouded Bai Ruosu in it, and pretended to be a companion who came to wander
The gas lamps on the side of the road turned on one after another, reflecting the snow flying in the sky.
At the intersection not far ahead, several strange machines are constantly transporting various materials to repair the road surface, and workers are running back and forth in the construction site, constantly shouting.
The accumulation of all kinds of waste materials and the trampling of back and forth made the snow all over the ground dirty.
Yan Jing retracted his gaze and turned to the map in Bai Ruosu's hand beside him, who was holding a pencil in his hand and was stretching from the intersection towards where Qian Sanhe had stayed drunk.
According to the characteristics of the fallen god believers who cannot use their abilities for a long time, Bai Ruosu does not think that they will make a detour, which means that those hijacked goods are hidden somewhere in this direction.
In the same way, if you want to hide so many special goods that must not be exposed, and are very easy to be traced, and then secretly transfer them out, you must meet many conditions.
First of all, the container containing the incense and many ritual supplies has a special shape, and the former is very easy to detect because of its own particularity, and in order to ensure that it is not discovered, it must be guarded by fallen believers.
This excludes factories that come and go.
Secondly, the search of the surrounding area by the Three Law Divisions is still ongoing, almost scraping the ground, especially for remote and small places, and some small private workshops have no possibility of hiding these goods.
Finally, in order to get these things out in batches, the cache had to be a place where there was a constant flow of vehicles without attracting attention.
Combining the above three conditions, the rest is nothing more than the method of elimination.
Bai Ruosu's charcoal slid along the route just marked on the map, pausing briefly at each area to ponder whether it was possible to hide the goods.
The cross represents the exclusion, and the circle indicates that there is a certain possibility.
When she had finished sorting out the area in the direction of the route, she ranked the importance within the circled range.
Eventually, the charcoal stopped at a medium-sized dyeing mill located about a kilometer from the site of the incident.
It is medium-to-large, privately owned, with few workers inside, and because dyes are often boiled in the dye mills, there are often vehicles to transport raw materials and finished cloth back and forth.
The most important thing is that the work of the dyeing workshop is destined to have a large number of dye vats, hanging cloth for drying, warehouses and even cellars for storing goods and raw materials, which are the most likely areas to hide goods.
Locking on the target, Bai Ruosu went straight to Yan Jing.
It's just that on the premise of knowing that there may be a criminal who robbed incense in the dyeing workshop, it is obviously not feasible to directly use the waist card of the three law divisions to search the door, which will only give them enough time to prepare.
The identity of ordinary people is not good, and there is no reason to go in.
Therefore, Bai Ruosu walked into the nearby ready-to-wear shop again, and when he reappeared, he had already changed into a rich and compelling outfit again, and even Yan Jing was also dressed in silk clothes, and there was a pair of toad mirrors on the bridge of his nose.
Follow the map to the door of the dye shop.
Sun's Dyeing Workshop.
A gilded plaque hangs above the door beam, and a ring around it is hung with bright red satin, which is connected to the courtyard walls on the left and right.
There are two big red lanterns hanging in front of the door.
Bai Ruosu first stepped forward and knocked on the door, frowned and looked at the layout of the exterior of the dye room, and bent down to pick up the firecrackers in the snowdrift in front of the door.
Apparently the owner of the dye mill had just experienced a happy event.
Generally speaking, in a place where there is enough to raid the house and destroy the goods, will there still be happy events?
Or is this a deliberate trick?
It didn't take long for the door of the house to be opened, and a middle-aged woman wearing a thick cloth dress and carrying a bamboo pole in her hand poked her head out, looked at the two people outside the door, and asked with some hesitation,
"What's wrong with you two at night so late?"
"We are merchants from other places, and we heard that Sun's dyeing workshop is one of the most famous dyeing workshops in the entire capital, so we thought about buying a batch of goods before leaving."
Bai Ruosu took two steps forward, and the words were prepared on the way to come,
"Because I'm leaving tomorrow, I took the liberty to come to the door, I don't know if the master has time to talk now?"
