Chapter 187

Yes, needing to buy daily necessities in hiding for a long time, and the consumption quantity changing with the rebel activities in the news, then the identity of these people is self-evident.

After hearing the baby-faced girl's words, a look of shame couldn't help but appear on Leon's face.

After joining the Cleaning Bureau, he was still a bit trapped in a fixed way of thinking, especially after experiencing the convenience of soul vision, his first reaction was always to think about using "abnormal" methods to find targets, but he forgot these most basic means.

Rebels are also people! They also need to eat and wear clothes!

What's more, they were already an organization of not-so-small scale. Besides those few abnormal ability users created by the Aquarius Director, there were at least three or four hundred members and their families. The consumption of these people was not a small amount.

As for why these people would gather together instead of hiding separately throughout the capital... it can only be said that the danger and difficulty of hiding separately might not necessarily be smaller than gathering together.

There are no mobile phones here that can transmit messages at any time. Most people still rely on letters for long-distance communication. The wealthy can go to the Communication Bureau and use a kind of telegraph-like gadget to transmit some simple messages, but these ways of transmitting information are both difficult and dangerous for the rebels.

After all, the Secret Investigation Bureau of the Police Department is not just eating and doing nothing. They can even check the tracks of steam carriage passengers clearly. If someone suddenly receives letters or messages before every rebel action, or if their whereabouts are a mystery, that is simply no different from self-reporting.

And the difficulty of completing attacks by means of secret signals agreed upon in advance is even higher. Not only does one have to replace all secret signals if one is caught, but in situations where those opportunities are often fleeting, it is almost impossible to ensure that the action content is notified in place.

Like their precise attacks that last seven or eight minutes at the longest and only thirty or fifty seconds at the shortest, and withdrawing in time before the Police Department arrives, it is simply not something that primitive communication methods like secret signals can support. At the very least, it is impossible for the average personnel quality of the rebels, so there must be places like settlements!

……

"Thank you! Your news really helped a lot!"

After figuring out how to find the rebel settlement and then follow the vine to find those abnormal object holders, the overjoyed Leon first thanked her, then urged seriously:

"Miss Ai Mi, those people have very dangerous things in their hands. Your family shouldn't participate in the following matters. Just tell me the stores where they are accustomed to buying supplies!"

"Alright, I'll write down those stores right now!"

Hearing that she had indeed helped Leon, the baby-faced girl was also very happy. But after searching in her pocket, she found that she didn't bring a pen and paper, so she looked up at Leon again.

"I have a pen and paper here."

Understanding what she was looking for at a glance, Leon originally wanted to hand over the small notebook in his pocket directly, but after thinking about the content recorded on it, he hesitated slightly, then only took out the self-made charcoal pencil, and then pointed to the head of the bed:

"Move my pillow away, and after lifting the head of the bed, there is a small cabinet inside. There should be the draft paper that Mei Lan Ni used before."

"Ah, alright, let me look for it."

After curiously looking at the strange-looking charcoal pencil in Leon's hand, the baby-faced girl followed Leon's instructions, moved his pillow away, and prepared to lift the head of the bed with a storage compartment. However...

This... this is...

Looking at the female undergarment lying under Leon's pillow, which had a quite bold style and an abnormally "mature" shape, the two people in the room couldn't help but widen their eyes together.

Don't even mention that it might be Anna's. Not to mention that this purple-black lace corset didn't match Anna's temperament at all, just the two huge vacancies left for the southern hemisphere at the top were definitely not something Anna's "scale" could handle.

Ai Mi knew at a glance that this thing definitely belonged to a quite "extraordinary" woman, especially the terrible size difference between the southern hemisphere support and the waist-cinching part. The owner of this piece of clothing definitely had a "dominant" bosom!

No wonder! No wonder as soon as I came in, I heard shouting about "papaya" and "size" in the inner room! No wonder!

Staring at this corset, which noble ladies often wore close to their bodies to cinch their waists when attending banquets, especially staring at the two surprisingly large "lower half bowls" on it for a long time.

The baby-faced girl couldn't help but pout her mouth, her round and pretty nose twitched twice, and she only felt a strange sourness rushing to the tip of her nose, and the rims of her eyes turned slightly red.

"You... you..."

"If I say, I don't know where this thing came from either... do you believe me?"

Interrupting Ai Mi's tearful shaking, Leon walked over to look at this corset, checked his sheets and pillow again, then frowned:

"My bed seems to have been slept in... Anna likes to tidy up the room every night, so someone probably came yesterday, and the clothes should have been placed under the pillow at that time. And I slept directly at the Bureau yesterday, I didn't go home at all..."

"Forget it, I'd better ask her directly."

To avoid being treated as a pervert who collects female undergarments, Leon explained seriously for a few sentences. Seeing that the baby-faced girl still had a very strange expression, he simply opened the door and shouted towards the inner room:

"Anna! Did anyone come to the house yesterday?"

"……"

Hearing Leon's shout, the loud crying of Mei Lan Ni in the inner room couldn't help but pause slightly.

A moment later, Anna, whose complexion was quite good after exercise, opened the door, looked in Leon's direction, and then nodded with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Yes, Miss Wei Luo Ni Ka came. We talked for a long time, until the last carriage stopped running, so I let her stay in your room... Is there a problem?"

Miss Wei Luo Ni Ka? The Princess? No wonder...

After recalling the situation of that Princess and looking back at the corset on the bed, Leon, who suddenly realized, answered:

"There's no big problem, it's just that one of her clothes was left in my room."

Clothes left behind?

Hearing Leon's words, Anna blinked in confusion. What Miss Wei Luo Ni Ka wore when she came and what she wore when she left were the same, how could... um...

Realizing, she hurriedly ran over, looked at the bed in Leon's room, and then her pupils also shrank violently. She was probably also shocked by the size of this piece of clothing.

"Anna, Miss Wei Luo Ni Ka will be staying at the Bureau for this period of time. You help her collect it first, then find a bag to put it in. When I go back to the Bureau in a while, I'll bring it to her."

"Alright!"

While Anna ran back to the inner room to find a bag, Leon turned to Ai Mi, who was still half-believing, and explained:

"Miss Wei Luo Ni Ka is the person who was attacked by the rebels this time. She came to our Bureau for help this morning. We are investigating the rebels also because of her... that... can you help me write down the locations of those stores now?"

After taking out his small notebook and tearing off a page to hand it over, looking at the strong old man outside the window who was still climbing to the sixth floor despite being tied up with yarn, Leon couldn't help but urge with a headache:

"If possible, you'd better write faster. The time left for me doesn't seem to be much..."
