Special Forces Medic-Chapter 631 - 293 Various Monitors

After immersing in darkness for a while, the voice of Miao Shaoqing rang out again. "There are many problems at the brick factory, I think Young Master Xiao should still be at the brick factory."

"Have you found out anything?"

"I can't say anything right now, but I must remind you of the innkeeper, his suspicion is very high." Miao Shaoqing hid in the shadows, occasionally changing angles but never leaving Hua Qingyi more than two steps away. "You've been surveilled all along. I still don't know which side they're on, but you still have to be careful. The brick factory is not within the sphere of influence of this group, although it's perilous, it's the safest. North District is full of informants, I can't come out conveniently, if something happens I'll contact you."

Hua Qingyi already walked to the inn's entrance, the owner was preparing to close up shop. Over the weekend's excitement, the inn returned to its usual quiet.

"You're closing early today!" Hua Qingyi started greeting the innkeeper.

"Busy only two or three days a week, haha, doesn't matter." The innkeeper laughed so hard he squinted, probably made quite a bit of money these few days.

"Innkeeper, you're only busy two or three days a week, adding up to more than eight days a month. How do you live! For the other twenty days you're just spending, that would eat up all your resources!" Seeing the innkeeper carrying a plank out alone, Hua Qingyi stepped forward to lend a hand. The plank was heavy, carrying this in and out every day is really tiring! "What era is this, you're still using such heavy boards, it's not like filming a period drama needing authentic scenery."

"Hahaha, this is called character, imitating the development of great ancient people."

"Your mood is really unspeakably good today." After placing the last plank, Hua Qingyi felt a bit tired. "Never saw you as strong, carrying these boards every day without getting breathless, innkeeper, are you hiding something from me?"

"What would I be hiding, you move these solid wood boards every day, after years you'll be as breathless as me, already used to it."

"True enough!" Hua Qingyi chuckled a few times. "I just came from Director Zhao's."

"Is there any development in the case?" Upon hearing, the innkeeper immediately showed an eager face. "We've known each other for so long, share some scoop so when I chat with guests I can bring it up, gather popularity!"

"Sure, but let's trade." Hua Qingyi mischievously beckoned to the innkeeper. "I tell you the progress, you tell me about the brick factory, how about it?"

"Brick factory? That long-abandoned one?"

"Must be that one, are there several brick factories in your North District?"

"Didn't Lao Zhao tell you? We have two brick factories here, one has been abandoned for a long time, and there's another nearby, I got some blue bricks from there, they're quite well-fired."

"Then it should be the abandoned one." This Director Zhao really likes half-telling stories! "Ah San died there."

"That place is really eerie, don't go there at midnight. They say from when it was first built a person died, never developed properly, nobody knows how many owners it's changed, the last owner built it but never used it, leaving it vacant, who knows if it's money or what." The innkeeper seemed to be on par with Director Zhao in complicating things while explaining.

"Really strange, where is the current owner now?"

"After completion, he emigrated. The workers hired there were left idle, but they were given half a month's salary at the time just to keep them."

"Oh, I see, where did these workers go?"

"Some changed jobs, a few are technicians at another brick factory, heard the pay there is high, but can't go home, quite tough."

"No hardship no money, right?" After chuckling twice Hua Qingyi started yawning. "Innkeeper, I'm heading upstairs, lots to do today, there's a woman upstairs waiting, don't come looking for me at night!"

"Alright, alright!" The innkeeper nodded as he watched Hua Qingyi go upstairs.

"Oh, by the way about the exchange, if you want to know anything just go directly to Director Zhao." Hua Qingyi turned halfway and called down to the innkeeper, gave a mischievous laugh, and disappeared from sight.

The innkeeper stood alone in the hall, the innkeeper's wife came over holding his sleeve and led him to the back hall.

The lights went out for a short time, Hua Qingyi emerged from the darkness. Miao Shaoqing's warning wasn't without reason; since their traces were constantly watched, only hiding in the dark could conceal themselves.

Quietly descending the stairs, he entered a pitch-black empty hall. Suddenly, someone pressed his left shoulder, Hua Qingyi didn't turn back, he reflexively grabbed the stranger's wrist trying to throw him over his shoulder, but found he couldn't move him.

"Save your strength." Mu Rongyun's voice came from behind Hua Qingyi and dragged him back to the staircase entrance. "Can you see the beam top to your left?" He pointed to the left above Hua Qingyi, where it was utterly dark but a small glint of light flashed, possibly reflecting from outside street lights. It was covered by the load-bearing planks in the hall, spotting such a light source was truly difficult.

"Camera!"

"Not just this one, they're everywhere." Mu Rongyun leaned against the stairwell wall up the stairs. "Every passageway has one, quite hidden." He snapped off the hall light, with the illumination from outside, it was not difficult to find them, here was much easier than downstairs.

A motel installing surveillance at passageways isn't unusual, but this is a small inn, having one or two wouldn't be excessive, but there's no need to fit them like an anti-theft system, right?

Wu Shuang looked much better, her complexion now had a pink hue instead of being paper-white. "What did you give her?" Hua Qingyi suspiciously glanced at Mu Rongyun, when he saw Wu Shuang earlier he really thought Mu Rongyun might have given her some illegal drugs.

"Her constitution is sturdy, with antibiotics and rest she'll be fine." Her wound was re-bandaged comfortably with specialized wraps.

"I plan to go to the brick factory tomorrow." Wu Shuang said to Mu Rongyun as usual, he simply shook his head without any other action. (To be continued.
