Frankly speaking, after reading the telegram, Jiang Baimian was quite confused, because Lehman was not the first time to smuggle arms, and he had a lot of connections in the city at the beginning, and he had a group of powerful men with good firepower.
"What happened to Lehman for help and give him time to send this telegram?" Bai Chen expressed his doubts.
Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and Gnawa.
The two shook their heads in sync:
"Insufficient intelligence to analyze."
Seeing this, Long Yuehong said considerately:
"Could this telegram be fake? After someone caught Lehman, he tortured us and sent a telegram to lure us into the bait?"
Jiang Baimian nodded first, and then said:
"This also shows that Lehman is in danger."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had already said with a heavy face:
"Our military exoskeleton device and T1 robotic arm are also in danger."
For some reason, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen both felt that this sentence had reached their hearts.
Gnava analyzes another possibility:
"Could it be that our enemy has found Lehman and the two sides have reached an agreement to deal with us?"
He meant that the telegraph belonged to a trap in another sense.
"Then there's no need to do this, you can directly choose our trading site." Long Yuehong can now be called active thinking.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"But when we make a deal with Lehman, we will not do exactly what he says, and we will definitely take the initiative into our own hands."
She glanced at the telegram again and didn't say anything longer:
"No matter what, go to Cornet Street first, just don't rush to show up, focus on secret observation."
"Yes, team leader!" Shang Jianyao was very concerned about this matter.
…………
Corne Street is located at the junction of the Red Giant Wolf District and the Golden Wheat Ear District, and has two characteristics: good security and complex personnel.
After several rounds of secret observations, the "old investigation team" initially confirmed that the apartment No. 55 was not monitored by anyone.
- They used the "Blind Ring" to greatly increase the sensing range of Shang Jianyao and confirm whether there is human consciousness in places that are easy to monitor and snipe and are relatively far away.
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong put on military exoskeleton devices and monitored the surroundings at high points, responding at any time.
Going up to the second floor, Jiang Baimian saw Lehman's two men at a glance.
- They met with the four members of the "Old Tune Group" except Gnava at the Redstone Set.
"Long time no see!" Shang Jianyao greeted with relief.
One of Lehman's subordinates nodded with a serious expression:
"Why did you guys come here suddenly? Haven't you decided on the location and time of the transaction yet?"
Isn't your boss asking for help? Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said seriously:
"If we hadn't made an appointment to trade here, how would you think we would know you were here?"
Lehman's two subordinates both showed confused and puzzled expressions, and there was a feeling that something exceeded their expectations and they didn't know how to deal with it.
"Where is Lehman?" Jiang Baimian didn't give them a chance to think.
"The boss is on the third floor." One of Lehman's men instinctively replied.
He immediately emphasized:
"But you can't go up."
Jiang Baimian's eyes rolled slightly, and he looked at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao immediately retorted:
"Why can't you go up?
"We are acquaintances with Lehman; agreed to make a deal again; Why can't you go up?"
Lehman's two men fell into deep thought, and after a few seconds, they said:
"It can indeed be ......"
Shang Jianyao didn't say anything more, and took the lead in passing between the two people in front of him.
Jiang Baimian and Gnawa followed.
There are six rooms on the third floor, and Shang Jianyao wanted to shout "Lehman, Lehman, where are you", but was pulled by Jiang Baimian.
"Let Lao Ge do a scan first......" Jiang Baimian said in his throat.
Before she finished speaking, the wooden door creaked open in one of the two rooms farthest from the stairs.
Lehman, who looked like a simple farmer, looked at them.
The arms dealer suddenly looked happy, waved repeatedly, and said in a low voice:
"Here, here."
Seeing that Lehman was safe and sound but very eager, Jiang Baimian led Shang Jianyao and Gnawa over and entered the room with a belly full of doubts and speculations.
None of them relaxed their observation, sensing, and scanning of their surroundings during this process.
As soon as the three of them entered the room, Lehman looked outside twice and quickly closed the wooden door.
"You are finally here!" This was obviously a relief for the arms dealers from "United Industries".
"An arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops will come to meet." Shang Jianyao spoke in gray soil seriously.
Although Lehman could speak basic gray language, he didn't understand what Shang Jianyao meant at all.
Jiang Baimian didn't explain, but asked instead:
"Mr. Lehman, I don't think you have anything wrong, why are you asking us for help?"
Before speaking, she had already looked around and had a full view of the situation in the room.
This is a two-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom apartment, with complete tables and chairs, a clean environment, and even a TV that can receive the only channel of the original city official TV station.
Lehman showed a puzzled and fearful expression:
"Something strange happened that made me feel very dangerous."
Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully, pointed to the floor and said:
"Your men have rebelled?"
"I don't know if it's a mutiny......" Lehman replied with a frown.
He further explained:
"Every time I come to the original city, I will not be careless, I will definitely bring enough manpower and invite trusted Awoken bodyguards to ensure the safety of myself and my goods.
"This time too, well, it was normal for a while, but after moving to this apartment, something strange happened."
Lehman once again showed a look of fear:
"At first, Richardson's eyes looked at me strangely, as if I was a prisoner, and he was not a bodyguard, but a jailer.
"He looked at me and didn't allow me to leave the room, saying it was all for my safety.
"I admit that he has a self-consistent logic, but considering the identity of the employer and bodyguard, everything seems so absurd."
"He's crazy." Shang Jianyao sincerely gave the "answer".
"No, no." Lehman shook his head and said, "I took advantage of him to go to the bathroom and found Rondal, who is one of my subordinates and has known him for many years.
"When I told him that Richardson was abnormal, Rondal actually said, 'Boss, Richardson is right, you should stay in the room.'"
When repeating Rondal's words, Lehman's face was filled with fear, and it seemed that he would still have nightmares because of it.
His tone suddenly became excited:
"The others have also changed, they have become strangers one by one, and they have trapped me here!
"I don't know what will happen next, so I have to find an opportunity to steal the radio transceiver and ask you for help."
Jiang Baimian listened quietly and said in a relieved tone:
"I can understand your fear, this kind of strange thing is really easy to be scared.
"Don't panic, do you remember who Richardson came into contact with before the problem?"
Lehman had thought about this question for a long time, shook his head and said:
"Except for some pedestrians he met on the road, he had no contact with anyone."
Jiang Baimian nodded and said with a smile:
"Then let's talk to Rondal and the others."
While speaking, she glanced at Shang Jianyao.
The reason why he didn't look for Richardson first was because he was an awakened person, and Lehman wasn't too clear about his abilities and costs.
Long Da was one of the people who stopped Jiang Baimian and the others before, with blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in black, and looking quite strong.
"The deal is complete." Shang Jianyao walked over with a smile, "We have established a friendly and cooperative relationship with Lehman; you are Lehman's confidants; so ......"
Long Da and his companion both suddenly realized and smiled sincerely:
"You don't need to see the outside world, is there anything we need to do?"
Shang Jianyao immediately asked:
"I heard that you don't let Lehman go out?"
"Yes." Rondal took it for granted, "It's so dangerous outside, how can the boss go out easily?"
He didn't seem to see anything wrong with doing so, and still put himself in the position of Lehman's henchman.
Jiang Baimian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said to Shang Jianyao:
"Why do you feel a bit like yours?"
She refers to the ability traits of the "Reasoning Joker".
"Really?" Shang Jianyao asked in an expectant tone.
At this moment, Longdal looked at the door of a room on the second floor, raised his hand with a smile, and said hello:
"Richardson, are you awake?"
