American Celestial Master

Chapter 39, Tracking

Since there is no direct conflict with those super criminals, it is not a big problem.Overall, Fidel's performance is satisfactory.Especially when the ambulance came, he and Annie sent the injured passenger to the ambulance. (The passenger grabbed Annie's sleeve tightly and said something in a panicked tone, but his mouth was too far away from the microphone, and his breathing was weak after the injury, so he couldn't make a loud sound, so everyone I didn’t understand it. Later, the news media read the content through lip reading: “Who called the ambulance? I don’t want to call an ambulance! I don’t want to call an ambulance!”) Fidel’s performance in an interview with reporters was even more Lin Qiusheng was satisfied.

Unlike Grant, who only used those three sentences roughly, Fidel was much calmer when facing reporters.When the reporter asked why they didn't hunt down those super criminals, Fidel didn't say "None of your business" rudely, but said that first of all, he is a pacifist and opposes the abuse of violence, even for "criminals". .Second, what the criminals took away was only money, and there were injured people who needed help.Saving lives is more important than saving money.

"In addition, there are so many people here, if we fight, how much danger will it bring to the people around?" Fidel asked back.

"Then if it is in a place where there is no danger of accidental injury, will you stand up and stop them?" The reporter continued to ask.

"As I said, I'm a pacifist," Fidel said. "I think the more important question is why a person with extraordinary abilities, who should be able to live a good life in a normal way, has embarked on this path." What makes a person with extraordinary strength pick up a gun and become a robber? This is what our society should really reflect on.”

Putting this question aside, Fidel refused to be interviewed again on the grounds that he still had something to do, and quickly left the scene with several other people.

After watching the news video, Lin Qiusheng nodded.Fidel and the others happened to run into those gang of super criminals. This was unexpected, but their response still satisfied him. Taking this opportunity, he emphasized his pacifist attributes and painted himself the Holy Mother Halo, if there are more things like this, even if a very unfriendly bill against superhumans is passed in the future, Fidel and the others can rely on this "harmless to humans and animals" halo to protect themselves.

"We should also make good use of the media." Lin Qiusheng thought so.

He has now completed the data input. Considering the complexity of the calculation and the number of cores he rented, the official results will be released in a month.It is impossible for Lin Qiusheng to stay here for a month, it will cost a lot, and it doesn't have much practical significance.

Lin Qiusheng intends to stay here for two days. If there are no major problems in the whole operation, he will entrust this matter to the management staff, and then go back to New York, or go to Mexico—to use this opportunity to establish a new sect.Of course, the most important thing for a new sect is to appear harmless to humans and animals at the beginning, but to pretend that humans and animals are harmless, is there any religion in this world that pretends to be harmless to humans and animals than Taoism?

That night, Lin Qiusheng received a call from Fidel. He told Lin Qiusheng what happened during the day on the phone, and then told Lin Qiusheng that they would enter Mexico tomorrow.

"Mexico is a messy place. Be careful when you go there. If you have anything to do, remember to call me. Even if I can't fly there directly, I can give you advice. You know that knowledge is power. "

Early the next morning, Fidel and the others drove across the U.S.-Mexico border from Laredo.A high separation wall has been erected on the US-Mexico border today, which is also the legacy of the king.There is a long convoy parked here at the border port, and of course the convoy is from Mexico.Anyone who holds a U.S. passport or visa can enter Mexico without a visa and stay in Mexico for 180 days, but entering the U.S. from Mexico requires a visa.

Fidel and four others drove an old Dodge pickup they rented to the Mexican city of Nuevo Laredo through the Ogrande River that crosses the border between the two countries.It was here that Fidel's friend Ederson entered Mexico.The last time he had contact with Fidel was in Monterrey, Mexico.He had an appointment with Monterey Municipal Hospital, where he was about to have a dental procedure.

At noon, several people arrived in Monterey. They first went directly to the Monterey Municipal Hospital to inquire about Edson from the hospital.After they claimed to be Edson's family members, the hospital didn't give them too much trouble, but just told them that there was indeed an American named Edson Ramos who booked surgery in their hospital , and a few days ago he had a pre-operative examination in their hospital and paid the operation fee. He was accompanied by a woman who seemed to be his girlfriend, but the hospital had no clue about her condition. Got it.But on the day of the operation, none of them showed up, and the phone number left for the hospital could not be connected.

However, the hospital still provided them with a piece of useful information. The hospital found the hotel where he lived in his relevant information.

So after expressing their thanks to the hospital, they rushed to the hotel again.

But they ran into trouble at the hotel. The hotel staff refused to tell them anything on the grounds of "protecting the privacy of the guests".Until Fidel fumbled out a ten-dollar bill.

"Sir, we are a very formal hotel, and we will never violate the principle and sell the information of the guests for a small amount of money." The lobby manager glanced at the banknote in Fidel's hand and said.

"No, sir, you may have misunderstood me." Fidel said as he stood up the brand new ten-dollar bill, shook it, and inserted it into the service desk in the lobby.

The countertop of the service desk is made of a whole piece of white oak, which is as thick as a palm.But this banknote was inserted silently like a hot knife inserted into butter.

"This..." The lobby manager's eyes straightened.

"Sir, I'm a very reasonable person, but this matter involves the safety of my family. I don't want any unpleasant things to happen to us all. Do you understand what I mean?"

The lobby manager immediately felt and understood Fidel's kindness, and he quickly told Fidel that helping customers and their relatives and friends is the unshirkable responsibility of those in the service industry.

He immediately found the registration records of the staying guests, found the relevant records, and then told Fidel: "Sir, the guest you are looking for did not come back four days ago. He was originally expected to stay until tomorrow, and The rent has been paid. The woman he lived with was pretending to be Cecilia. They lived together. Then they didn't come back together."

"When did they go out four days ago?" Fidel asked.

"I need to ask about this." The lobby manager said.

After a while, the lobby manager came back and said, "They left around eight o'clock in the morning."

"Where's his luggage? Is it still there?" Fidel asked again.

"Yes, do you want to see it?" said the lobby manager.

Accompanied by the lobby manager, several people checked Edson's luggage.In addition to Edson's things, there were many women's things in the luggage.

"It would be great if Mr. Lin was here, relying on these things, he will definitely get more specific information through divination." Annie said beside her.

"Annie, Mr. Lin taught you how to do the simplest divination, why don't you try it?" Victor said on the side.

"You just need to use it after learning it? I think you can try it." Fidel also encouraged.

"Then... Then at night, I'm ready to try it? But even if the divination reveals something, I won't interpret it." Annie said.

"Then we'll just have to bother Mr. Lin again," Fidel said.

According to Lin Qiusheng's request, Anne had to make a series of preparations before divination, such as bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and sitting quietly.This series of ritual-filled processes is actually mainly used to adjust the body and mind and eliminate delusions, so as to improve the accuracy of divination.

For a master like Lin Qiusheng, such a complicated process is actually not necessary. Most of the time, he only needs to find a few copper coins for divination.But for beginner Anne, these complex processes are indispensable.

First of all, for beginners like Anne, divination must find a quiet enough place and choose a quiet and symbolic time.

The hotel Edson chose was relatively cheap and not far from the hospital, but the environment was really not good.When they drove over just now, there were gunshots not far away.So divination here is not appropriate.

Fidel asked Anne to take a few gadgets that would help with divination from Edson's luggage.Among them was a tube of lipstick that apparently belonged to a woman named Cecilia.The lobby manager watched them take these things away without saying anything.

"Mr. Lin said that Edson's state is very strange, and I probably won't find anything out of divination, but Cecilia may have a surprise on this line." Annie said.

Several people took these small things and left the hotel. The lobby manager personally sent them to the door.Before getting into the car, Fidel thanked and apologized, then tipped him fifty dollars.

In order to ensure the quality of the divination at night, Fidel gritted his teeth and found a high-end hotel to stay.

After entering the hotel and settling down, Fidel emphasized again: "Mexico is very messy. Everyone should not go out at night. Especially you, Grant, don't run around thinking that you are particularly strong at night. Well, Annie, how about you?" Get ready, we're sure you can do it."
