Chapter 9: Who is the 'Barber'

A voice came from behind Li Anping, and he hurriedly turned his head to see that it was a bather in a white coat and white shorts.

Li Anping asked rhetorically: "Isn't this a lounge?" ”

The bather pointed to the opposite side and said, "The rest hall is on the opposite side, and the three rooms here are all contracted by distinguished guests for a long time." ”

"And who chartered this room?"

The bather took out a bunch of keys from his belt, rummaged through one of them, and said as he opened the door, "I don't know, we just collect money and don't ask about the guests." In this room, one, three, five are one person's bag, and two, four, six are another person's bag. The guests are quite good at tossing people......"

Listening to the words of the bather, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the three guests today.

The door opened, and a white paper screen was placed inside, dividing the room into several relatively independent spaces.

At the sight of the white paper screen, Li Anping was stunned, and now he can be sure that the "barber" is in this city.

Who is the "barber" among the three just now? Li Anping took advantage of the fact that the bather was complaining, and retreated to the dressing room, put on his clothes, and walked out of Tsinghua Pool.

It was late at night, it was pitch black outside, and it was impossible to catch up with any of the three.

But it doesn't matter, today, Wednesday, the day after tomorrow, the "barber" should still appear.

With the movement of the "barber" and the joint code provided by the "carpenter", Li Anping decided that he must find out this time before making a move, now it is better to tell Zhao Zhengyuan the news first, the master must be very excited to know this.

Li Anping found Zhao Zhengyuan overnight, he was stunned at first, and he was also stunned.

He thought about it, but told his apprentice that he should never startle the snake before confirming the identity of the "barber"; Even if they do, keep an eye out for other underground workers spying on them, as the master and apprentice are no longer in charge of the surveillance mission, and rash action could disrupt the organization's plans.

Qinghuachi is obviously the secret stronghold of the "barber", but the master turned a deaf ear, which made Li Anping feel very embarrassed, he said: "The confession, code, joint poem of the 'carpenter', the cigarette butts and white paper screens of Qinghuachi, are these evidence not enough? Could it be that we just watched them destroy the fruits of the revolution and steal the intelligence of New China? Speaking of which, Li Anping was a little angry.

"You just believe Lu Jie's words like that? He said he didn't know where the 'barber' was, that he had been assigned here by another person, and that you had found your so-called 'barber' on the basis of his confession. Don't you think Lu Jie is lying to you, or is he setting a trap for you to drill? ”

Zhao Zhengyuan's words made Li Anping exhausted, Li Anping never thought about it, did Lu Jie really not know the whereabouts of the "barber" or did the spies set a trap for our party to drill?

If Lu Jie knew the whereabouts of the "barber", then why did he give himself that poem and joint code?

If Lu Jie and the "Barber" have no connection, then why did the two of them both appear in the same city thousands of miles away after the stronghold was eliminated?

It seems that he is still too young and not rational enough, Li Anping admires Zhao Zhengyuan very much now, in other words, if he knew the whereabouts of the murderer a few years ago, he would definitely take a gun.

Seeing a slight change in Li Anping's mood, Zhao Zhengyuan said: "You keep an eye on the movement over there, pay attention to how many people are going to connect, and who are they?" The 'barber' is not a simple person, you can't let him find you. At the same time, you should pay attention to whether there are other people who are watching you, and if you do, don't contact them. ”

Sending Li Anping away, Zhao Zhengyuan locked the door and stared at the ceiling blankly, the composure just now was pretended.

The revenge of killing the son cannot be avenged!

The "barber" had the blood of our party's underground workers on his hands, and there were many legends about him, but no one had ever seen him, because everyone who had seen him had died, and some of them had not seen him until they died.

Zhao Zhengyuan has already lost his own son, and he doesn't want to lose this apprentice again. There is no convincing reason for Li Anping to give up following the "barber", he can only use this statement to stabilize Li Anping first, and he will find a way to deal with the "barber".

Zhao Zhengyuan lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, he was thinking about how to deal with the "barber".

Without evidence, he could not notify the Public Security Bureau and ask for the police to be sent to Qinghuachi to encircle and suppress the "barber".

Going to be a "barber" alone? Zhao Zhengyuan is not daring, he is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, but death must also be worthwhile, after thinking about it, he still decided to notify this clue online.

Zhao Zhengyuan and his upline have been in covert contact, and the next morning, he went to the bus stop where he connected to the upline, and left a symbol on the upline in a casual corner of the platform that only the two of them could understand.

Friday.

Today is the day when the "barbers" conspire in the single room of Tsinghua Pool, Li Anping ate a bowl of noodles on the street after work and went to Tsinghua Pool.

It's peak now, and most of the lockers in the dressing room are locked, including the one that contained the "barber's" clothes last time. The changing room is full of people coming and going, and Li Anping can't steal any cabinet. He pretended to be looking for a suitable cupboard, and went through the entire changing room, but he didn't see any cigarette butts on the floor. He found a random cabinet in the last row, calmly took off his clothes, put them in the cabinet, took a clean towel and went into the bathhouse.

He had considered using the excuse of pretending to find the wrong lounge to push the "barber's" private room, Zhao Zhengyuan's words were still lingering in his ears, once he broke in, he would easily arouse the vigilance of this group as long as he looked this way in the future.

Li An slid into the hot tub, found a suitable spot, and pretended to enjoy a bath, secretly looking at the private room.

The number of people in the bathhouse began to decrease, and after eight o'clock, people began to come out of the private room, and then one came out every five minutes. When the fourth person came out, he did not go out directly, but faced the door, as if locking it.

This must be the last man!

Li Anping came out of the hot tub, took a towel, walked into the shower room, grabbed the faucet near the passage, and turned on the water to take a shower.

Catching a glimpse of the man walking into the shower room, Li Anping turned around and continued to shower. When the man changed his clothes and heard him walk to the entrance of the hall, Li Anping turned off the faucet to dry his whole body and quickly changed his clothes, chased him out, and followed from a distance.

After that, Li Anping went to Tsinghua Pool every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and never saw cigarette butts on the ground, and never found an opportunity to steal the cabinet.

Could it be that the "barber" will never come again?
