Chapter 359: You Don't Have to Follow It in the Future

There are many old communities behind Zhigang Avenue, most of which are products of the eighties and nineties of the last century, and most of them are the staff buildings of nearby factories and railway bureaus.

At that time, the building did not have the term floor area ratio, and the green area was not considered.

The old buildings are densely packed one by one, except for a few wide roads, between the buildings, there are alleys of different sizes intertwined, like a labyrinth. Most of the lanes look similar, and if no one leads the way, it is estimated that many people will have to get lost.

The workers who used to live here have long since moved out and moved into high-rise buildings, and most of the people who live here are now tenants.

These tenants have different identities, ranging from people who work nearby, to those who work dozens of kilometers away, and many street girls who rent them as trading places.

Except for the main roads, which are dimly lit, most of the lanes are out of sight.

It was past three o'clock in the morning, and the road was quiet.

Along the way, meet two or three scantily clad street girls walking in the alley with sneaky guests.

These street girls looked particularly charming in the dim light, and when they saw Lu Shanmin, they were not afraid at all, but kept flattering.

Those guests who followed the woman standing on the street were trembling, after all, in the middle of the night in this kind of alley, I met three men, one of whom was also a tiger's back, and he was not a good person at first glance.

Lu Shanmin sneered secretly, these people are also cowardly, and if they dare to follow the street girl into these dark lanes in the middle of the night, they are not afraid of others playing fairy jumping.

Under the leadership of Leng Hai, it took more than ten minutes to come to a small alley that was so narrow that it could only accommodate two people walking side by side.

It is said to be a laneway, but it is actually a narrow interval between two buildings.

After walking in the alleyway for two or three minutes, there was a fence more than half a meter high at the end of the distance.

After getting closer, I found that this wall was far more than half a meter, at least two or three meters high, but because of the topography, only half a meter could be seen in the laneway.

There was a steep slope here, and as you went down the steep slope, there was a black figure at the base of the wall.

Zhou Tong hurriedly greeted him, his face full of surprise, "Brother Shanmin".

Lu Shanmin didn't understand why Zhou Tong called him here.

"What's going on"?

Zhou Tong handed the telescope in his hand to Lu Shanmin, and then pointed to the wall. "Brother Shanmin, take a look".

Due to the bad light, I didn't find it just now, and after approaching, I saw an irregular hole in the wall, which is estimated to be in disrepair, and the wall is broken.

Lu Shanmin picked up the telescope and looked out from the hole, there were many buildings in front of him, these buildings were very close, the gap in the middle was narrower than this lane, it was estimated that it could only accommodate one person to move forward, and along this gap he looked forward, and there was a strange building in the distance.

The reason why he said strange was that he found that the building had no windows, or that the windows were artificially blocked.

If you look closely, you can see that each floor has a small hole one foot square, and a faint light emanates from it. At the top of the building, there were several places that were extremely dark, and the hunter's instinct could sense that there should be people hiding in those places.

Lu Shanmin was overjoyed, "That building is Changzan's underground casino"?

Zhou Tong nodded, "Yes, the two buildings at the end are two of the five buildings on the periphery, I once sent someone to get close, but I was stopped outside the two buildings twice in a row, and then I didn't dare to send anyone over for fear of startling the snake."

Lu Shanmin frowned, "Li Feng said that there are five buildings on the periphery that were bought by Chang Zan, and those five buildings have no outside tenants, and generally no one will go over, and strangers will naturally attract their attention when they approach."

Zhou Tong nodded, Lu Shanmin had already told him what he had learned from Li Feng.

"According to Li Feng, there are two casinos, and only one of them can be seen in this position, and the other is blocked by the house in front."

"What are those holes for?" Lu Shanmin asked.

Zhou Tong thought for a while: "Those small holes should be observation holes, for the sentry to observe the situation outside." After a pause, he said: "It's just that the observation position is generally high, but these small holes are found on every floor, and in my experience, I'm afraid it's not just for observation."

Lu Shanmin gasped and frowned, "It seems that Li Feng is right, the people inside have guns."

Zhou Tong nodded, "The defense is so tight, and there is also a special firing port." ”

"Brother Shanmin, I vaguely feel that this place is probably not just about casinos."

Lu Shanmin was silent for a moment, "Then what do you think will be the disgraceful thing?"

Zhou Tong shook his head, "I don't know, in short, I think Chang Zan is probably even more terrifying than he imagined."

Lu Shanmin smiled, his eyes lit up, and his fighting spirit was even stronger. "I'm not afraid of how terrible he is, I'm afraid that he won't do anything, if he really does something shady here, it's a good thing for us. As long as we can pick him out, he won't be able to turn over."

Zhou Tong nodded, and then said: "The places with particularly dark colors on the roofs are built bunkers, and there are people guarding them, so you can see the surrounding situation clearly entering that area."

"This is exactly the back of the building, and there is probably a similar sentry post on the front."

Lu Shanmin put down the binoculars, "Can you see people coming in and out?"

Zhou Tong shook his head, "The entry and exit should be from the front or the southeast side, and you can't see it in this position." As he spoke, he pulled out a hand-drawn map.

Leng Hai turned on his phone and shone it on the map.

Zhou Tong is worthy of being a scout, and this map contains almost the entire old community, except for the two underground casinos and the barrier of the surrounding five buildings, all the houses and lanes are clearly drawn.

The two casinos are marked in red, and the five outer buildings are marked in blue.

"You can't see people coming in or out, but based on the terrain here, you can deduce their approximate route."

Zhou Tong gestured with his finger on the map, "Here, here, and here."

Lu Shanmin looked at the three lanes pointed out by Zhou Tong, there were many lanes on both sides, and these three places were like a transportation hub.

Zhou Tong continued: "No matter how they go, they must eventually pass through one of these three lanes, as long as we send people to investigate these three lanes, we will definitely be able to see the people in and out of them."

Lu Shanmin smiled, Chang Zan did not hesitate to buy five buildings as a barrier to surround the two casinos, who knew that Zhou Tong still found the gap. He would never have dreamed that he would have such a good scout under his command.

"How did you find this gap"?

Zhou Tong smiled and pointed at Leng Hai.

Although there was only the afterglow of a mobile phone flashlight in the alley, Leng Hai's cheeks could still be seen reddening.

"Well, Brother Shanmin, yes, it was told to me by a woman standing on the street."

Lu Shanmin frowned, he didn't care about Leng Feng's style of life, but was a little worried about whether the woman was reliable.

Zhou Tong saw Lu Shanmin's worries, and said with a smile: "Brother Shanmin, don't worry, the girl who stood on the street met a person who ate white food, chased downstairs and pulled the guest to ask for money but was beaten, Leng Feng was investigating in that area at the time, and he really couldn't look at it, so he helped beat the man, and also got the money for her, and she got acquainted with it after coming and going." ”

Leng Feng is not very old, about the same age as Xiao Wu, and his face is still very thin, so he quickly explained with a red face: "I, I just talked to her and inquired about the situation, I didn't do anything with her."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "It's okay, don't be nervous."

Leng Feng continued: "She has been doing business here for two or three years, I asked her if she has seen any strange people and things in the past few years, she said that once she was drunk and drunk and went the wrong way, and when she walked to the bottom of a building, she was blocked by two men, and she quarreled with those two men because of this."

Lu Shanmin pointed to the buildings at the far end of the two sides in front of her, "She should have walked to one of the buildings on the periphery of the casino that was responsible for guarding."

Leng Feng nodded, "I think so too, she also said that once when she was standing on the street, she was in a hurry to urinate and wanted to find a place to go to the toilet, so she arrived at a narrow laneway, that is, here, it was dark at night and I couldn't see the road, so I rolled down the steep slope, and after I got up, I found that there was a hole here, and then I looked out along the hole, and found that there was a building a few hundred meters away that was very strange, and there was bright light in the windows of the surrounding buildings, only the building was dark and there was no light at all, like a haunted house." I felt something strange at the time, and then reported it to Brother Zhou."

Zhou Tong continued: "When I was a scout, the instructor said that there will never be an impermeable wall in this world, and no matter how tightly the enemy defends, there will always be some flaws."

Zhou Tong pointed to the hand-drawn map, "The topography of this place not only avoids the detection range of the two casino buildings, but also happens to avoid the view of the five peripheral buildings, although I can't see the whole picture of that building here, but I can roughly infer the defense of the entire building from what I see."

As he spoke, he flipped to the second page. This is a building structure drawing.

Lu Shanmin couldn't help but look at Zhou Tong, this kid not only could draw maps, but also talk about architectural drawings.

Zhou Tong grinned, "For us scouts, these are all necessary basic knowledge."

Pointing to the architectural drawings, he said, "The style of these old buildings is the same, and the two buildings in the casino should be similar."

There are a lot of small red and black dots on the picture, as well as some small square holes.

Zhou Tong continued: "The small red dot is the sentry we can see at this location, and the small black dot is the sentry situation of the whole building that I inferred based on the distance and density between these small red dots, combined with the structure of the house." Then he pointed to the small square holes, "These small holes are not only for observation, but also for shooting with a gun."

Lu Shanmin carefully looked at these small red and black dots, which covered the conspicuous position of the entire building, no matter from any angle, he could not escape the eyes of the people in the building. Those small holes, if they were really firing points, covered all the dead ends, and no one could break in.

"What's the situation with the surrounding five buildings"?

"The surrounding five buildings are mainly used as observation points, not to mention being close to the casino, even people who are a few hundred meters away from the five buildings are also in the observation range of these five buildings, and once a suspicious person is found approaching, someone will notify the people in the casino in advance."

Lu Shanmin frowned, "That is to say, even if the police come, it is useless, the people in the five buildings on the periphery will warn once they find danger, the lanes here are full of twists and turns, and when the police arrive at the casino, the people have either been evacuated, or the venue has already been rearranged, and there is no evidence to catch this."

Zhou Tong nodded, "I don't know if the police noticed Chang Zan, but even if they do, it's useless, if you don't mix in to find out the situation, the police won't act easily, just like you said, there is no point in action."

Qin Feng asked on the side, "Brother Shanmin, should we call the police, maybe the police will find out."

Zhou Tong shook his head, "Now calling the police will only startle the snake and make the other party more careful, not to mention what we call the police to say, saying that people gather here to gamble, and when the police come, maybe they see that they are just playing small mahjong, saying that they are illegally hiding guns, maybe what people take out to show the police are all toy guns, even if they find real guns, at most confiscate these guns, and arrest a few security guards for a few years, Chang Zan can be cleaned." Not only can't he get Chang Zan, but it will be more difficult to catch him in the future."

Qin Feng scratched his head, "Then take down the sentry posts in these five buildings first?"

Leng Hai shook his head and said: "It's not that easy, how many people are in these five buildings, whether there are guns or not, I don't know until now, not to mention that some of the guards in the five buildings must be able to see each other, and it is almost impossible to take down all the guards quietly."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Leng Hai is right, don't say it's not feasible, even if it's feasible, you can't do it, I can't risk the lives of my brothers."

Lu Shanmin held Zhou Tong's hand-drawn map in his hand and pointed to the three lanes that connected countless small lanes, "We still have to start here."

After a pause, "But there is a problem here, late at night, there are not many people passing by these three lanes, if the people in the casino and those gamblers go out day and night, we will send people to these three places to investigate, it will arouse their suspicion."

Zhou Tong also frowned, "This is indeed a problem, there are very few pedestrians in these lanes in the middle of the night, if we send someone to wander around these three lanes, we will definitely suffer from the suspicion of the other party."

Lu Shanmin pointed to the buildings near the three lanes, "Can they be hidden in the nearby buildings?"

Zhou Tong pondered for a while, "The lights are too dim, you may not be able to see clearly from a distance of one or two meters, let alone in the building, didn't Li Feng say that those gamblers are escorted by trained security guards, and after passing through such an important place, they will definitely pay special attention to the surrounding environment."

Lu Shanmin frowned, looked at Leng Hai and smiled: "Such an important transportation hub, there must be a lot of street girls in the middle of the night."

Leng Hai nodded, "There will be some street girls there to do business."

Lu Shanmin and Zhou Tong looked at each other and smiled.

Laughing so coldly, his face was flushed.

Lu Shanmin patted Leng Hai's shoulder, "No problem."

Leng Hai's cheeks were flushed, and he quickly straightened up, raised his head and chest, "Guarantee to complete the task."

The four of them walked back along the alleyway. Lu Shanmin and Zhou Tong walked in front, and Qin Feng and Leng Hai followed.

Since Zhou Tong moved to the dark, he rarely appeared in the open, and the people he led were like wolves that came out of the night, observing the enemy's every move in the night.

To do this kind of work, not only to risk your life, but also to enjoy the aura of being in front of people, is a grievance work that pays far more than you gain.

"Zhou Tong, I've wronged you these days."

Zhou Tong said with a smile, "Brother Shanmin, where do you speak, I don't feel wronged."

Lu Shanmin patted Zhou Tong's shoulder, with an apologetic face: "You have contributed a lot to us to get to where we are today, but what you get is far less than what you have paid."

Zhou Tong shook his head, "Brother Shanmin, this is my old job, and it is also my favorite job, if it weren't for you, I might still be brushing dishes in the restaurant."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "If you need anything here, feel free to tell me, and I will meet your needs as soon as possible."

Zhou Tong grinned and nodded with gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Shanmin, thank you for giving me this platform that can play my role."

"Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you to someone".

"Who"?

"A friend of mine, you can rest assured, absolutely no problem. The head is enough, and I am still a college student."

Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "Brother Shanmin, such a person is too big to follow me."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Although he is a college student, he still lacks a certain amount of social experience, you can take him with you."

Zhou Tong nodded, "Brother Shanmin, don't worry, I will take care of him."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Don't, if you take too much care, you won't be able to achieve the effect of training, you can use it as you want, just treat him as an ordinary newcomer."

"By the way, Brother Shanmin, that Chai Zheng is not simple, his anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, he has been lost several times, and he has found nothing so far."

Lu Shanmin was not too surprised, he could easily find out his tracking at the beginning, and he could easily lock himself in the café, of course, he would not be a simple person.

Zhou Tong continued: "But I found a strange phenomenon, he was too careful, and his caution was contrary to common sense. Every time he travels, he secretly observes his surroundings, and every time he drives alone, he walks on strange routes, leaving shortcuts and not taking them, and often likes to go around and around."

Lu Shanmin took a deep breath, "He's on the lookout for someone to follow"!!

"Yes, it's strange here, ordinary people don't be so careful, it's strange that he is so careful."

"In order to determine whether Jiang Tao's people are like this, I deliberately followed several other people in charge of Jiang Tao's subordinates, and they were very casual and behaved normally."

Lu Shanmin's brows furrowed, he was afraid that whoever followed him would be so unusually cautious.

"Chai Zheng's investigation will end here, there is no need to follow in the future."
