"Look at this!" Long Yuehong whispered, his voice trembling slightly.

Bai Chen and Genaewa turned their gazes and fixed them on the several short filter cigarette butts.

"Flag cigarettes," Genaewa said, a red light flashing in his eyes.

Hearing his words, Long Yuehong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been worried that he had misidentified the items and gotten his hopes up for nothing, but now he didn't have that concern—Genaewa must have said that after rigorous analysis and comparison.

Bai Chen didn't speak, already reaching out to rummage through the pile of trash.

Soon, she picked out several items, including "Lalphy" candy wrappers, empty tissue packaging, and used coffee grounds.

"Preliminary assessment: the real 'Father'," Bai Chen said, raising her head and exchanging glances with Long Yuehong and Genaewa.

A hint of a smile uncontrollably appeared on her face.

After repeated failures, repeated disappointments, and repeated waste of energy, the "Old Tune Group" finally caught the real "Father's" tail!

Really and truly caught it!

Long Yuehong also couldn't hide the joy on his face and hurriedly said:

"Quick, let team leader and Shang Jianyao come over."

In just ten minutes or so, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian arrived and saw the "evidence".

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled and sang:

"Hey, I really miss you..."

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian stopped his performance, smiling obviously as she said, "It's not time to celebrate yet. When we catch the real 'Father' or kill him, I'll let you sing in front of him or his corpse for five minutes!"

"I also want to have the little speaker and Old Ge sing together, surround sound," Shang Jianyao proposed his request.

Jiang Baimian sighed and looked around.

"Right now, we can only say that we've achieved a stage of success. Next, we need to consider how to find the real 'Father' in this building."

"Disguise ourselves as security officers and check each household?" Long Yuehong looked again at the twenty-seven-story Alpha Building.

Inside were a large number of company and business association employees, and people renting apartments.

Bai Chen shook her head:

"That probably won't work.

"I suspect there are a large number of 'puppets' in the building. They usually work and live like normal people, but as soon as they detect anything unusual, they immediately turn into the eyes and ears of the real 'Father'."

"Yes, that's unavoidable," Jiang Baimian simply gave an example. "For example, we knock on the door of this household, using the excuse of investigating a case to observe whether there is a real 'Father'. Behind the peephole of the room across or diagonally across, there may be a pair of eyes quietly watching everything, and then using an agreed-upon method to alert the real 'Father'."

Based on this, Genaewa analyzed the answer:

"Excluding similar methods, that leaves only one choice.

"Let the real 'Father' come out himself."

Clap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded for the intelligent Old Ge.

The red light in Genaewa's eyes flickered a few times.

Jiang Baimian followed up with a smile:

"We have to create a scenario where the real 'Father' has no choice but to come out."

…………

The next day at two in the afternoon, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Genaewa disguised themselves and sneaked into Alpha Building, entering an empty room on the third floor.

Shang Jianyao went to the window, cleared the tables and chairs, and treated the marble floor to a certain extent.

Immediately afterwards, Genaewa dropped a sack he was carrying on his back and poured half of the contents onto the cleared area.

These were all flammable and smoke-producing items.

Jiang Baimian then put on a gas mask, struck a few matches, and threw them at the pile of items.

Gradually, the sparks began to spread, and dark smoke quickly filled the air.

Before long, the flames became fierce, rising upwards, but because of the intentionally arranged isolation zone around them, they did not spread outwards.

The thick smoke quickly triggered the alarm on the ceiling.

The "whoo" sound quickly echoed throughout the entire Alpha Building.

Genaewa, who had already hacked into the building's surveillance system, fired flames into the air by the window with a flamethrower while playing scenes from old-world entertainment footage on the corresponding screens, making the surveillance personnel believe that the fire had taken shape and could not be resolved by the building's fire-fighting forces.

As the "Old Tune Group" had expected, the building's broadcast system soon had a voice shouting:

"There is a fire, everyone evacuate in an orderly manner!

"Note, do not take the elevator!

"Those on higher floors can go to the rooftop terrace and wait for fire and rescue."

The voice spread to every corner of the Alpha Building, causing company employees and apartment residents to hurry into the stairwells and descend.

And those who came out the fastest saw the flames and billowing black smoke billowing out of a window on the third floor, and were convinced that a fire had really broken out.

On the rooftop of the building opposite Alpha Building, Long Yuehong was using the "Orange" rifle, using the fixed scope on it to observe everyone rushing out of the main entrance of the building.

In contrast, Bai Chen was responsible for the rear entrance area.

Long Yuehong, who was in charge for the first time, inevitably felt a little nervous and uneasy, but he, who was no longer a newbie, knew how to deal with such emotions.

He took two deep breaths in a row, but did not relax his monitoring of the main entrance area of ​​Alpha Building.

In the midst of the chaos, Long Yuehong's eyes suddenly lit up.

The figure sandwiched in the middle of a group of people was very much in line with the characteristics of the real "Father":

The height was similar to that of the team leader, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he looked quite tired, with a slightly forward-leaning posture while walking.

He looked like he was in his late twenties, wearing black clothes and trousers, with short black hair, closer to the Grey Earth race, but his facial features were more profound. While walking, he was consciously using the surrounding buildings and crowds to avoid snipers from above.

While Long Yuehong was following this person with his eyes, he was reporting on the walkie-talkie:

"Target sighted, target sighted, heading towards Hearst Apartments."

After shouting this, Long Yuehong relaxed a lot and wholeheartedly tried to aim at the person suspected of being the real "Father".

Just at this time, as instructed by the team leader, he did not give up monitoring the main entrance area of ​​the Alpha Building, and he caught sight of another person out of the corner of his eye.

That person was also in his late twenties, wearing black clothes and trousers, with short black hair, and a height between 1.75 meters and 1.80 meters, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his expression was full of fatigue. At this time, he was walking quickly in the opposite direction with his head slightly buried and his body leaning forward.

Except that his appearance was not very similar to the previous one, he also matched all the characteristics of the real "Father"!

This... is the real "Father" too cautious? Long Yuehong couldn't help but use the vocabulary he learned from the old-world entertainment materials.

He hurriedly told the team leader about the new discovery on the walkie-talkie:

"Another suspected target has appeared! Leaving in the opposite direction from Hearst Apartments!"

He only hoped that the captain and the others could take action separately in time to block both of them.

The current situation made him not know whether to snipe or not.

Not to mention that both of them were consciously looking for cover to prevent snipers from a distance, just from the fact that there must be a puppet and an innocent person among them, Long Yuehong couldn't bear to do it.

…………

The person heading towards Hearst Apartments suddenly turned at the intersection and headed towards the Red Wolf District.

Just then, a figure in a dark green military uniform jumped out of the alley next to him.

He was 1.9 meters tall, and his whole body was exuding a silver-black metallic luster. It was the intelligent robot Genaewa.

Looking at the target suspected of being the real "Father" in front of him, Genaewa did not let down Shang Jianyao's repeated instructions and played the voice he had pre-recorded:

"You have two choices now:

"One, follow me into that alley; two, get beaten up by me and then dragged into that alley."

The target suspected of being the real "Father" suddenly froze.

…………

In the opposite direction of Hearst Apartments, another suspected target hurried towards a cafe, seemingly wanting to pass through it and leave from the back door.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and a bullet hit in front of him.

He rolled on the spot and hid behind the mailbox next to him.

Then, he saw Shang Jianyao with a sunny face and sunglasses.

"Hey, I really miss you..." In Shang Jianyao's tactical backpack, the song sounded at the right time.

…………

Noticing that both sides seemed to have blocked the target, Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief again and reported the situation to Bai Chen.

At this time, the thick smoke on the third floor began to fade, and there were no more flames churning.

Bai Chen did not relax because Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, and Genaewa's actions were going smoothly and maintained the state of monitoring the rear entrance area.

Another group of people escaped from there.

Inside, there was a figure wearing a beanie, always lowering his head, with a rather forward-leaning walking posture, and slightly unsteady steps.

Bai Chen's heart moved, and she completely focused her attention on him, then saw the obvious dark circles on the side of his face, and saw the undisguised tired look.

"Another suspected target has appeared at the back door," Bai Chen reported calmly.

Damn... At this moment, only such a thought was churning in Long Yuehong's mind.
