Chapter 35 Summer Cicada Hunting
Lupin heard the man who appeared to be "The Barber" call out his code name, and he tried to recall the characteristics of the "Barber".
He had never seen the true face of the "barber", only the back, this body shape was similar to that of the "barber", tall and big. As for the voice, he had heard it once, and only once, when the "barber" first went to the secret stronghold of Qinghuachi, but that time he seemed to say it with his throat pinched. The man's voice must have been different from what he had heard, and Rupin did not respond.
The man held the cloth between his left arm, reached into his pocket with his right hand, took out a razor, and handed it to Lupin.
Lu Ping took the razor, and there were faint traces of blood on the blade. Isn't the razor the barber's favorite weapon?
Just now, the five police officers said that they were chasing the "barber", thinking that the "barber" had been missing for a long time, Lu Ping can now be sure that this person is the "barber"!
He asked, "'Barber'?" ”
The man nodded, confirming that he was the "barber", and he covered the wound with a cloth again, the expression on his face a little pained. Lu Ping asked eagerly: "Is the injury serious?" ”
"It's just a skin injury."
"What's going on?" Lu Ping not only wanted to know what happened to the "barber", but also wanted to know whether he was also involved.
"A month ago, another of my downline disappeared, and judging from the current situation, he should have confessed to me. In the afternoon, I went to the place where I connected with him to find out what was going on, and I didn't want to be rounded up as soon as I showed up. If I hadn't run fast, I'd have been caught by them. ”
It sounded like he wasn't involved, but Lu Ping suddenly realized something, and he suddenly became alert: "How did you escape here?" Lu Ping was thinking in his heart at this time, even if the "barber" knew his apparent identity and other circumstances, but the "barber" was chased by the police, he shouldn't run to himself. Flee to him, if the police catch them, they can catch two.
"Why? Don't you feel like they have a plan of action in place? Li Anping thought through the details, and from Cao Ruofei and Chen Xiao, he could see that the person who could be Cao Ruofei's offline or Cao Ruofei's offline must be a person with considerable ability.
If a spy or an underground party is hunted down, he will never take the initiative to flee to his upline or downline.
He thought in advance that Lu Ping would have this question, so from the beginning of the conversation between the person pretending to be the captain and Lu Ping, he was paving the way for this.
He specially instructed the person pretending to be a "barber" to throw out such a little information once Lu Ping asked about this, not to say it directly.
Lu Ping thought back again, at first the public security captain seemed to be targeting him, and then the fifth public security officer was injured and said that he was ambushing the "barber".
After this cut, Lu Ping understood that it was not the "barber" who wanted to flee to him, but was forced to flee here. That is, he was also exposed.
Lu Ping looked at the "barber" in panic and said, "What do you mean ......"
The "barber" nodded and said, "What important things did you put in the shop?" If so, take it with you and run with me. I saw through their plan of action halfway through, wounded the man blocking the west exit, pretended to flee, hid halfway, and came back to inform you. Their first target is definitely me, and I won't be able to take care of you for a while. ”
Lu Ping believes that the words "barber" are reasonable, and the primary target of the public security is "barber", and the secondary target must be himself.
Those police officers will realize that they are now chasing someone and that they are embarrassed, and when the time comes, they will inevitably turn back and arrest him. Lu Ping walked quickly to the account room, picked up a porcelain vase and clay blank, and said "go" to the "barber".
The fake "barber" didn't understand why Lu Ping was carrying a clay blank with a strange pattern engraved on the bottle, which was obviously beyond all the information and transmitters that his employer had told him before. But he couldn't ask, so he had to follow Lu Ping.
Before the two stepped out of the antique shop, Lu Ping heard the "barber" behind him let out a scream of "ouch", followed by the sound of him falling to the ground. As soon as he realized that something was wrong, Li Anping and four police officers surrounded him and the "barber" on the ground with guns.
Five guns were pointed at Lu Ping, and he did not dare to move at all. Li Anping took advantage of Lu Ping's still being dazed, stepped forward to take the mud in his hand, and then handcuffed him. The fake "barber" on the ground also got up, and Li Anping took out the remaining half of the commission from his pocket and gave it to the boss of the troupe who played the captain.
Watching the boss of the troupe lead the other four people away, Lu Ping knew that he had been fooled. At this moment, no matter how carefully he thinks about this game, there are still loopholes.
If the police have all the clues about him, why should they insinuate him during the first conversation, this is equivalent to giving him a warning.
It's just that the words of the fake "barber" led his logic to prove that the public security had arranged a line to arrest the "barber" and forced the "barber" to flee to himself. Lu Ping was full of regret, and he regretted even more that he had not been able to break the mud in time.
caught the "cicada" through a fake play, but Li Anping couldn't be happy, because he couldn't come up with direct evidence, and the mud blank didn't have any clear information.
Li Anping turned the clay over and over several times, and there were very strange lines and dots on the clay bottle, and there were numbers on the sides of the dots.
It was precisely because of this strange mud that without figuring out what information these patterns contained, the Municipal Public Security Bureau decided to temporarily put Lu Ping in prison for interrogation.
Lu Ping saw that the situation was not completely unfavorable to him, and now the public security could not produce direct evidence to prove that he was a spy, as long as he did not admit it, the public security bureau would have to release him after three days. So he flatly denied that he was a spy, and he insisted that this mud was a scrap, and he was going to throw it away, but he was wrongfully accused of being a spy.
Lu Ping can't say that Li Anping set up a trick to deceive him, which is equivalent to admitting that he is a spy, if he is not a spy, no matter how much he acts, he will not panic so much that he wants to escape with things.
Li Anping bluntly said when he reported that after he had the clues, he found someone to act to trap Lu Ping. Now, he can't play a game of hide and seek with Cao Ruofei anymore, he wants Cao Ruofei to take certain actions against him, so that he will be exposed faster.
Cao Ruofei saw that the "cicada" was caught by Li Anping, but he still couldn't be sure whether Li Anping was targeting him.
Why? The "crane" was tied up at the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and it is still unknown who did it.
Li Anping, on the other hand, wrote a report on the entire process of capturing the "cicadas" and submitted it to himself.
Li Anping wants to target himself, how could he catch his downline in front of him so high-profilely. Cao Ruofei couldn't tell whether Li Anping was sincere or really aimed at himself. In any case, he wants to get Li Anping out of the Public Security Bureau, and then kill him.
Li Anping's work performance is very good, he has no reason to fire him, and it is time to take advantage of Li Anping's family conflicts......
