Chapter 589: Unexpected Harvest (Part 2)

That's it. Needing to purchase daily necessities secretly 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 listening to the doll-faced girl's words, a look of shame couldn't help but appear on Li Ang's face.

After joining the Cleanup Bureau, he was still somewhat stuck in a fixed way of thinking, especially after experiencing the convenience of soul vision, his first reaction was always to think of using "anomalous" 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 are an organization that is not small in scale. Except for those few anomalous ability users created by the Aquarius Director, there are at least three or four hundred members and the families of those members. The consumption of these people is not a small number.

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

There are no mobile phones here that can transmit messages at any time. Most people's long-distance communication still relies on letters. Those with money can go to the Communications Bureau and use a device similar to a telegraph machine to transmit some simple messages, but these ways of transmitting information are both difficult and dangerous for rebels.

After all, the Police Department's Secret Investigation Bureau is not eating dry rice. They can even check the trajectory of steam carriage passengers clearly. If someone suddenly receives letters or messages before every rebel action, or their whereabouts become a mystery, it is almost the same as reporting their own home.

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

Like their precise attacks that last seven or eight minutes at the longest and thirty or fifty seconds at the shortest, and retreat in time before the Police Department arrives, it is simply not something that primitive communication methods like secret codes can support. At least with the average personnel quality of the rebels, it is impossible. So there must be a place like a gathering point!

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

After figuring out how to find the rebels' gathering point and then follow the vine to find the anomalous object holders, Li Ang, who was overjoyed, first thanked her, then emphasized earnestly:

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

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

Hearing that she had indeed helped Li Ang, the doll-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 raised her head again and looked toward Li Ang.

"I have a pen and paper here."

Understanding what she was looking for at a glance, Li Ang originally wanted to hand over the small notebook in his arms directly, but after thinking about the content recorded on it, he hesitated slightly, then only took out the homemade charcoal pencil, and then pointed to the bedside:

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

"Ah, alright, I'll look for it."

After looking curiously at the strange charcoal pencil in Li Ang's hand, the doll-faced girl followed Li Ang's instructions, moved his pillow away, and prepared to lift the bed back that had a storage compartment. However...

This... this is...

Looking at the female intimate clothing that was quite bold in style and even abnormally "mature" in shape lying under Li Ang's pillow, the two people in the room widened their eyes in unison.

Don't say it might be Anna's. Not to mention that this purple-black lace corset simply didn't fit Anna's temperament, just the two huge empty spaces left for the southern hemisphere at the top were definitely not something that Anna's "scale" could control.

Ai Mi knew at a glance that this thing absolutely belonged to a very "extraordinary" woman, especially the terrible size gap between the southern hemisphere support and the waist-cinching part. The owner of this piece of clothing's bosom was absolutely "ruling level"! No wonder! No wonder when I just came in, I heard "papaya," "size," and other keywords coming from the inner room! No wonder!

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

The doll-faced girl couldn't help but pout her mouth, her round and pretty nose twitched twice, and a burst of inexplicable sourness surged to the tip of her nose, and her eye circles even turned slightly red.

"You... you..."

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

After interrupting Ai Mi's tearful shaking, Li Ang walked over to check the corset, and also checked his bed sheet and pillow, 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 in the Bureau yesterday and didn't go home at all...

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

In order to avoid being treated as a pervert who collects female intimate clothing, Li Ang explained earnestly for a few sentences. Seeing that the doll-faced girl still had a very strange expression, he simply opened the door and shouted toward the inner room:

"Anna! Did anyone come home yesterday?"

"..."

Hearing Li Ang's shout, Mei Lan Ni's loud crying in the inner room paused slightly.

After a while, Anna, whose complexion was quite good after exercise, opened the door, looked toward Li Ang, and nodded with a somewhat complex expression.

"Yes, Miss Veronica came. We chatted for a long time, until the last carriage stopped running, so I let her stay in your room... Is there any problem?"

Miss Veronica? The Princess? No wonder...

After recalling the situation of that Princess, and then looking back at the corset on the bed, Li Ang answered with a look of realization:

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

Clothes left behind?

Hearing Li Ang's words, Anna blinked somewhat puzzledly. What Miss Veronica was wearing when she came and what she was wearing when she left were the same, how could... um...

After reacting, she hurriedly ran over, looked at the bed in Li Ang's room, and then her pupils also shrank violently. It is estimated that she was also shocked by the size of this piece of clothing.

"Anna, Miss Veronica will be staying in the Bureau for this period of time. You help her tidy it up first, then find a bag to pack it, and I will bring it to her when I return to the Bureau in a moment."

"Alright!"

When Anna ran back to the inner room to find a bag, Li Ang turned around and explained to Ai Mi, who was still half-believing:

"Miss Veronica is the person who was attacked by the rebels this time. She went to our Bureau for help this morning. We are chasing the rebels also because of her... um... can you help me write down the locations of those stores now?"

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

"If possible, you'd better write faster. The time left for me seems to be running out..."
