Chapter 607: The Golden Tooth
"It's a pity, that feel, it's really good. Brother, you took the opportunity to touch two of them. After returning to the temporary residence of the ghost, Meng Qinglong put his hand to his nostrils and sniffed it a few times, and said with endless aftertaste.
Cheng Zhichao sighed: "Big brother, we are fugitives now, where are we still in the mood to think about these things?" ”
"It's fun in the midst of suffering." Meng Qinglong smiled and opened a can of beer: "Take a sip? ”
"I drink water."
After snatching money from Cuixue, at least Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong's lives have been improved to a certain extent, and the big supermarkets don't dare to go, but there is no big problem in wearing a mask and going to the small supermarket to buy some food. After all, not everyone is born with a pair of sharp eyes, and they can recognize the two of them at a glance as wanted criminals reported in newspapers and television every day.
But that's it, the two of them still added twelve points of caution, and while wearing peaked caps, they also wore a large mask. When I went to the supermarket to choose something, I never spoke, I just picked things up, and then paid the bill without saying a word. It wasn't until I returned to my lodgings that I felt a little at ease.
The biggest advantage of living here is that the demolition is imminent, the chaos is that the small streets and alleys are so wide that even if the police come to visit and meet them, they can escape as soon as possible. The two of them finally found this place after changing places countless times in a few days.
Originally, the demolition notice of this community has been issued, and the first batch of residents who have negotiated with the developer have begun to prepare for moving, so there are many vacant houses, and more residents have not moved out for the time being. In places like this, there are already tenants, and they have all quit their leases one after another. Looking for another place, the landlord didn't expect that at this time, someone would come to rent a house. Although it may not seem like a decent road, there is still rent to be paid before the demolition, so I will ignore these things. It's a big deal that if these two people really commit a crime, they will just say that they can't figure out their origins.
So Meng Qinglong and Cheng Zhichao finally had a temporary place to hide. It's all very beautiful, but what makes them depressed is that this house is an illegal house that was temporarily erected after the landlord got the news that it was going to be demolished a few years ago, and it is only three or four meters away from the public toilet in the shantytown, which is not a good environment.
At this time, Cheng Zhichao was pinching his nose and worrying about the smell of the toilet, and when he saw the beer handed over by Meng Qinglong, he couldn't raise his interest at all, and after taking a bottle of mineral water and taking a big sip, he lay on his back on the bed: "This place is not a place to stay for a long time." After the limelight has weakened a little after two days, you really have to find a way to contact the smuggler and send the two of us out. ”
"Don't worry about this, I've thought about it a long time ago." Meng Qinglong looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, and he couldn't help but feel very proud that Cheng Zhichao, an omnipotent and powerful man, finally lowered his noble head in front of him, and after pouring a big sip of beer, he grabbed two peanuts and threw them into his mouth: "Do you know why I brought you here?" It's because Brother Guo's point is located here. It's just that the wind outside is too tight, and I don't dare to act rashly. ”
"Wait two more days. The limelight is already showing signs of waning. At least in the past two days, except for the main intersections, the police at other unimportant intersections have been withdrawn. ”
"I'll just say. They can't be so tight because the two of us have been so tight. ”
Cheng Zhichao closed his eyes and nodded slightly: "I hope the two of us can turn evil into good luck this time and go out safely." Go outside and fight for a few years, and after opening up the situation, you will come back with a new identity and integrity. ”
Meng Qinglong smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Although he also yearns for the situation that Cheng Zhichao said. But at the same time, I also know that what Cheng Zhichao said cannot become a reality at all. Even if the two of them fled abroad, they would be wanted at home. And if you want to open up the situation outside, you are bound to go through countless bloody storms. As long as their details are found out by the person opposite, Interpol will definitely make a move, and they will still not be able to run away at that time.
Even if they are very smooth, they have successfully gained a foothold abroad, but their domestic identity will never disappear, even if they are mixed with the scenery, it is impossible to change their identity and come back openly.
But now he and Cheng Zhichao are in the same boat, and although he has saved his life for Wang Ruiguo, he is not as capable as Cheng Zhichao.
In the next few days, Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong were like ladies in ancient times, they didn't go out of the door, and they just hid in this small single room every day. Cheng Zhichao is okay, at least when he was in the special brigade, he also had a little training in performing tasks alone for individual soldiers, and he still has the patience to endure loneliness. But Meng Qinglong was a little unbearable, he was not a person who could endure loneliness, when he was in the detention center before, there were more than a dozen people in the number, and the situation was better. But now there are only two people here, he and Cheng Zhichao, and they can't even say a few words every day except for eating or sleeping, and this kind of day is really difficult.
In addition to being bored, Meng Qinglong actually developed a superhuman skill - listening to footsteps.
Their residence is very close to the public toilet, and a large number of people come here every day to go to the toilet. But every time I found out that it was a false alarm, and the footsteps outside were just people from the shantytown coming to the toilet.
Everyone walks in a different way, and of course the sound of footsteps has its own characteristics. A few days later, Cheng Zhichao was surprised to find that Meng Qinglong could hear whether the people outside were men or women and their physical characteristics based on the sound of footsteps. When Meng Qinglong finished speaking, he opened the curtain and looked out, and the guessing rate was as high as more than 90%, which made him really admire. So the two poor and bored people finally found some fun in this hut. Whenever there was a sound of footsteps outside, Cheng Zhichao first asked Meng Qinglong to guess who it was, and then verified it himself.
Such a boring game, two people actually played with great interest. It really passed a lot of lonely time.
Of course, the two of them are not all living a plain and happy life here, at least they also encountered a strict incident of checking temporary residence permits at the grassroots level of the police station. Cheng Zhichao never dreamed that the temporary residence permit, which had long been banned in the provincial capital, would still have a big market here, but fortunately, the response was fast enough. pulled Meng Qinglong to escape in time, and then the danger was saved.
After this incident, both of them felt that this place did not seem to be as safe as they imagined, and after learning from the pain, Meng Qinglong finally decided to venture out and contact the snakehead.
As Wang Ruiguo's most important agent in China, Meng Qinglong did have a large number of contacts and channels, and this snake head also met him in his early years, and the two also left contact information for each other. However, this was two or three years ago. But Meng Qinglong didn't doubt that he appeared. The loyalty of the head of the snake to Wang Ruiguo. You must know that in order to leave a way out for himself, Wang Ruiguo will pay a considerable amount of money to this snake head every year, which is called "channel maintenance fee". To put it bluntly, it is just to use money to offensive, so that this snake head can be passed on when something happens.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft, and relying on the side mirror naturally have to engage in "foreign trade", so that they can make a fortune. This head is not the only one in the area. If he doesn't take Wang Ruiguo's order, someone else will pick it up. What's more, Wang Ruiguo has very few times when he can use him. You don't have to work to get money, and no one will refuse.
Cheng Zhichao couldn't interfere with the snakehead at all, and Meng Qinglong handled it all. What Cheng Zhichao didn't expect was that things turned out to be surprisingly smooth. Originally, the worst plan he and Meng Qinglong had was to find this snake head, but the snake head was too tight due to the wind. I didn't dare to send them away immediately, so I would settle down and let him arrange a safer place to live and settle down.
But when the secret channel that only insiders could know about contacted the snake head, the snake head asked the identities of the two people clearly, and he actually breathed a sigh of relief. Let them rush to the west of the city immediately, find a guy nicknamed Golden Tooth who opened a small shop in a certain community, and talk about other things after they arrive.
Meng Qinglong immediately agreed, but Cheng Zhichao muttered in his heart, and said to Meng Qinglong: "This person agreed to us so quickly, will there be any conspiracy?" ”
Meng Qinglong categorically vetoed Cheng Zhichao's doubts: "Absolutely not, you don't know how much Brother Guo spends every year to maintain this line, the purpose is that when something happens, you can leave this line at any time." ”
"This kind of person, presumably the police should also know his details, and you dare to guarantee absolute reliability?"
"You can rest assured of this." Meng Qinglong said with a smile: "When I was in the detention center, Brother Guo desperately wanted to get me out. Now that he knows that I have escaped, he will do everything possible to bring me to him, and he can only be safe if I am safe and sound. In other words, Brother Guo may have given him the wind and asked him to help me escape, but he has never been able to find the whereabouts of the two of us. ”
Cheng Zhichao saw that he was so sure of him, so he no longer doubted it, anyway, he was an undercover agent, and he was not afraid of being caught by the police at all. At that time, as long as his identity is revealed in the interrogation room, at most the mission will fail, and his life safety will not be affected at all. The person who will die if he is really caught is Meng Qinglong, since he is so confident, then of course he will not raise the bar with him again.
The only thing he had to do now was to keep his eyes open and stare at Meng Qinglong to see how he could contact this smuggler, and what members of this organization were, and this would be important information in the future.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Golden Tooth" is just a nickname, his real name is Linghu Kuan, this is a very rare compound surname, and the most famous character should be the male protagonist in Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Of course, there are no gold teeth in his mouth, and the reason why he has this nickname is because this person's teeth are particularly strong, and he is already fifty or sixty years old, and he can even use his teeth to open beer, and the speed of opening beer is faster than others using bottle drivers, so he got such a nickname.
When Cheng Zhichao saw that the "golden tooth" they wanted to see turned out to be an old man who was not good-looking, he couldn't help but be taken aback. In his impression, the person who does this line of work has to be a big man with a big waist and a round waist, and he is extremely fierce. Otherwise, how can we stop those who spend money to smuggle people? What role can such a dry little old man play?
This old man is indeed too dry, his whole body, even the bones and flesh together are less than a hundred catties, and the wrists exposed outside his clothes are as thin as hemp rods. It seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him away. And the contact code that Meng Qinglong said when he met him was also very funny.
He opened a small store, that is, he used his vacant house in the community to put a few shelves, and then sold some small goods, a very small store, the space is about less than 20 square meters. At most, a small shop like this sells small items such as cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, etc., and bottles of wine that cost more than 50 yuan are rarely sold, and as for other things, I am afraid that they will not be sold.
But after Meng Qinglong saw that no one was paying attention, he stood outside him and knocked on the window. Through the small delivery window opened on the street, he opened his mouth to buy a decorative drug called "ciprofloxacin".
If you go to a store and buy anti-inflammatory drugs, you won't be able to do it if you are a little normal. But after the little old man in the window listened to Meng Qinglong's words, his eyes suddenly became bright, and it seemed that countless rays of light were bursting out, and then he shook his head and said bluntly that this store does not sell that thing, if you want to buy light medicine, it is better to go to the pharmacy.
Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the two people pretending to be on the side. While looking at Ling Hukuan in the room, he quietly listened to the joint code of the two of them like singing.
"I've been to the pharmacy for that medicine. There was no sale at all. ”
"Then you're not in the right place, you have to go to a big pharmacy to buy it."
"The big pharmacies sell tablets, and I want to buy water medicine." Meng Qinglong bit the word "water" very hard.
Ling Hukuan groaned for a moment and asked, "What are you buying that medicine for?" ”
"My family has nephritis, and I can use it."
"How much do you want?"
"I want as much as you want."
Ling Hukuan smiled: "Come into the house, I'll find it for you." When I was sick before, there were still some left, which should not have expired, and if I could find them, I would sell them to you. ”
After all that is said. He closed the window, turned and walked towards the door. Meng Qinglong hurriedly glanced at Cheng Zhichao, took Cheng Zhichao into the entrance of the unit, identified the direction, and gently knocked on the door of Ling Hukuan's house a few times.
Cheng Zhichao was laughing so hard that his belly hurt because of the nondescript joint code of the two people, but after listening to Meng Qinglong's knock on the door, he suddenly felt that they also had a place for regularization. At least Meng Qinglong's knock on the door was very particular, and insiders could hear it as soon as they heard it, this turned out to be the legendary "Mohs code", that is, something used for a transmitter. This can't help but make Cheng Zhichao look at these people with admiration.
The Mohs code can be set at will, and if there is no coded book, it is difficult for non-professionals to judge the content based on the sound, even Cheng Zhichao is no exception. After Meng Qinglong knocked on the door a few times, the door did not open as Cheng Zhichao imagined. After a while, Meng Qinglong knocked on the password he had just knocked again, and the door of the house opened, and after Ling Hukuan opened the door, he first glanced at Cheng Zhichao, and finally frowned: "Come in." ”
The house is a very standard two-bedroom living room, but the living room is very small, and there is basically not much space after placing a refrigerator that has to be placed in the living room because the kitchen is too small, which is also a common feature of the old building - the bedroom area is acceptable, but the area of the kitchen, living room, and bathroom is much smaller.
The two bedrooms, the one on the north side has been converted into a small store, and the one on the south side is used for human habitation, which has a large bed, table and chair, and TV, and is extremely clean, it seems that Ling Hukuan is a fairly clean person.
After leading Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong into the door, Ling Hukuan's eyes fell on Cheng Zhichao, and after looking him up and down, he asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?" ”
Meng Qinglong had already greeted him, so he was still more at ease with Meng Qinglong, but Cheng Zhichao's appearance was not in the plan, although because the person was brought over by Meng Qinglong, there should not be too much of a problem, but for the sake of caution, he still asked.
"This is my brother, named Liu Sichen, who is going to go with me."
Ling Hukuan's face sank: "It's all old rivers and lakes, I believe I don't need to say it, you also know the rules here." Sending you away, someone has already greeted Lao Chao, Lao Chao has been looking for you for a long time, you can be regarded as an outcrop, naturally there will be no problems. However, the person who was going to pick you up was only one person at the time, but not two. ”
"This person and I are friends of life and death, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have escaped at all, so this person must also go with me."
"I can't be the master of this, there are rules for doing things, I am only responsible for picking up people, regardless of giving them away. If he insisted on taking him, Lao Chao would have to disrupt the original plan. Well, I'll give Lao Chao a call first and see what he means. ”
Meng Qinglong nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your news." ”
Ling Hukuan took a good look at Cheng Zhichao again, then grabbed a phone thrown on the bed, opened the door and walked outside. From beginning to end, Cheng Zhichao didn't say a word, just quietly watched him and Meng Qinglong talking. (To be continued......)
