Chapter 1117: Chapter 1,116: Closed Clinic

The last safe house in No. 76 was not an apartment, but a shop.
But the structure of the shop here was similar to that of a residential house, or rather, these shops had just changed the residential house for commercial use.
These shops were basically two-story or one-and-a-half-story structures the so-called half-story, which was that kind of small attic.
The shop rented by No. 76 has such a small attic.
The attic is the kind of traditional sloping surface, with a small window that allows people to climb to the roof.
The Attic doesn’t look big, but it is enough for servants to live in.
But according to the local law, shops are not allowed to live in.
Even if the shop has two floors of space, and only one floor is used for business.
This was not quite the same as the habits of the eastern countries.
Many small two-story shops in the eastern countries liked to use the first floor for business, and the second floor for living.
This was more convenient for businesses to work and live, and it could also save a lot of additional rent expenses.
But this kind of model was basically not allowed in western countries, if these shops did not use the second floor as a place of business, then they could only be empty, or piled up with sundries and work supplies.
At night, the Commercial Street would be quiet.
When the shops closed and the customers went home to sleep, the entire street was quiet, and even the entire block was quiet.
This was a completely different world from the bustling, densely populated eastern country.
Such a place was actually very suitable for Tibetans.
However, the slightest movement would easily attract the patrolling police or nervous passers-by to call the police.
Therefore, hiding in such a safe house was definitely a “Hiding”method.
The shop on the 76th was a clinic on the surface, and it was also an eastern medicine acupuncture clinic.
The medicinal herbs and acupuncture skills of the eastern countries were basically not recognized in the world.
Because these traditional medical theories did not conform to the logical consistency of modern science, there were many contradictions, and it was difficult for westerners to understand these theories based on syndrome differentiation and treatment.
Therefore, some eastern medicine clinics abroad could not be called real clinics. They could not even practice medicine and sell medicine.
Eastern medicine clinics basically only had acupuncture and massage. They did not have medical qualifications. They only belonged to the health care industry and did things like giving massages to their customers.
Most of their customers were eastern people. They had fewer white and black friends.
Such a clinic was naturally deserted, and there were not many guests.
Moreover, according to the business habits of the west, most of the guests came by appointment.
In other words, before the guests came, they would call to confirm if the shop had time. After confirming that they could arrange for treatment, they would drive for a long time and come for treatment.
This was a very common pattern in the west. Even if they went to a restaurant for a meal, they would often make a reservation.
Therefore, it was actually a relatively easy and comfortable thing to be a self-employed person in western countries.
The less populated the place, the easier it was to work.
Moreover, because everyone was generally wealthier and the level of consumption was higher, the income of these self-employed people was generally good except for the terrible craftsmanship.
No. 76 clinic was usually closed, looking like it was about to close down.
This showed that the doctors’workmanship was indeed terrible, so there were pitifully few customers.
If there were no patients’ appointments, the doctors would not be necessary to come to the clinic to work.
In fact, No. 76 had previously hired two doctors and signed a long-term lease here, intending to use a normal eastern medicine clinic as a long-term cover.
Unfortunately, the skills of the two eastern doctors were really unsightly. Even their compatriots were unable to support them, and the business situation gradually became like this.
The two eastern doctors were too ashamed to continue hanging around here, so they voluntarily resigned and disappeared without a trace.
No. 76’s clinic was left empty just like that.
She had originally considered whether to return the shop, but after thinking about it, she felt that the vacant shop was more suitable to be used as a safe house.
Therefore, she still paid the rent on time and planned to renew it indefinitely.
There must be a reasonable explanation for this kind of foolish and rich behavior.
Her explanation to the landlord was that she was still recruiting doctors and wanted to continue running the clinic.
This made a lot more sense.
Based on these circumstances, it was unlikely that the safe house would be exposed. As a temporary hiding place, it should be safe for the time being.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one nearby was paying attention to the clinic, Yu Tian and No. 76 sneaked into the clinic and quietly closed the door.
No. 76 turned on the light. The light was soft white.
The curtains were drawn in the room, so there was no need for the light to leak out and attract the attention of the outside world.
Because they hadn’t opened the doors and windows for a long time, the air in the room was a little stuffy.
The two simply went to the attic and sat by the window. They opened the window a little to get some air.
In the attic, No. 76 had prepared some drv food and bottled water. Although
the food was simple, it was enough to satisfy their hunger.
No. 76 would rather eat these dry biscuits than the fried chicken in Yu Tian’s hand.
Yu Tian did not comment on her eating habits. He only urged her, “Let’s hurry up. Tell me about the current situation in the company’s headquarters first so that I can decide what to do next. ”
No. 76 ate the biscuits, she said, “Actually, I don’t know much about the situation… at first, I didn’t know that something had happened to uncle long. That morning, No. 15 suddenly sent out an alarm saying that the headquarters had been raided by the police. All the members were immediately put into hiding and temporarily suspended their contact with the headquarters to maintain vigilance and ensure their own safety…”
(‘Who’s number 15?”
“Number 15 is… number 15. I only know that his surname is Liu. We’ve met a few times.
“Where is he now?”
“He’s already been arrested by the dusk city police department, but after I hacked into the Dusk City Police’s information system, I didn’t find any information about them after they were arrested…
Number 76 said hesitantly, “Maybe the police didn’t record this information into the system, or maybe they handed the person over to other secret departments…
“Is there a way to trace this information?”
“I can try. Some of the security departments that invaded the wind nation might be able to find information about No. 15 and the others.
“Okay, you check as soon as possible. “Yu Tian nodded and said, “How many members of the company were arrested by the police this time?”
“I’m not too sure about the specific data, but more than a dozen middle and high-level oriental people have gone missing….”
