Chapter 10 Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Li Anping also followed up and confirmed that these four people had the right password or something every time they entered the bathroom private room, and the four of them all entered the private room during the peak period, not only spoke very softly, but also paid special attention to whether there was anyone around, and Li Anping couldn't hear what code they were saying at all.
He followed them one by one, and soon found out the whereabouts of these four people, who were in the southeast, northwest, and northwest cities.
Nancheng and Xicheng live in the Hutong District, and he can confirm the house numbers of these two; The man in Beicheng lived in a building, and in order to avoid being discovered, he did not follow; The man in Dongcheng seemed to live in a family home, and there was a guard at the door to prevent him from entering.
told Zhao Zhengyuan this information, and Zhao Zhengyuan praised him uncharacteristically and asked him to continue to monitor this group of people.
At this time, Zhao Zhengyuan was anxious in his heart, and the longer Li Anping's time dragged on, the more dangerous it became. He has lost his own son, and he has no choice but to lose the apprentice in front of him again.
If there was a day, he would rather lose himself.......
However, after so many days, his upline has not been connected with him.
He has a one-line contact with the upline, and if he can't contact the upline, he can't pass on the information of the "barber".
Just when Zhao Zhengyuan was burning his eyebrows, Li Anping discovered a new situation in Qinghua Pool: a fifth person appeared.
In the past week, Li Anping was finally able to roughly identify the figure of the four people who came every other day, and today this person first stayed at the door for two minutes, and seemed to have done something to open the door.
Li Anping thought he had spoken, but not only did he turn his back to him, but he was also a little noisy around him, and he couldn't concentrate on a certain voice at all.
The person who came must be saying the code, and Li Anping still had a thought: Since there is a code given by Lu Jie, why not try to contact this fifth person.
As soon as the number of people in the bathroom decreased, the door of the private room opened, and someone walked out, and from the size of the person, Li Anping was sure that it was the fifth person who came here today.
The man walked to the hot tub and tested the temperature on his toes, untied the towel from his waist and went down to the hot water.
Although the water vapor is very heavy, Li Anping doesn't want to be seen by the other party, so he got up and went to the shower room, he decided to go out first, and then find a corner at the entrance of the hall to sit and wait for this person to come out.
After Li Anping took a simple shower, he returned to the changing room, took a towel and wiped the remaining water on his head, and suddenly saw half a cigarette butt at his feet.
He realized that it was likely that the "barber" had come again, and judging from the position of the cigarette butts, the cabinet where the "barber" put his clothes should be in the same row as the cabinet where he put his clothes.
Li Anping remembered that when he put his clothes, the top two cabinets in this column were not occupied, and he chose the top one, so the cabinet of the "barber" may be the one below him.
Li Anping looked around, there were two people changing clothes, and he decided to take a risk. Taking advantage of the fact that the two were not on his side, he quickly opened the cabinet where he kept his clothes, and then took out the master key that he had prepared from his trouser pocket and locked the cabinet again. Then he calmly opened the cabinet underneath with the master key, so that even if the two men saw it, he would not be suspicious.
Li Anping quickly touched the clothes inside, and in addition to some ordinary carry-on things, he felt a razor in his right trouser pocket.
This is undoubtedly the "barber"!
Looking at it this way, the fifth person is likely to be the "barber".
In order to avoid being bumped into by the "barber", Li Anping found the opportunity to lock the "barber's" cabinet, quickly opened his cabinet, took out all the clothes, put them on the bench, calmly dressed, walked to the entrance of the hall to give the money, and found a corner to sit down.
After a long time, the man who seemed to be a "barber" also walked to the entrance of the hall, gave the money and left.
A minute later, Li Anping followed, and at this time, the people along the street had already closed the door and turned off the lights to sleep.
In the night, the figure of the man could still be vaguely seen, and Li Anping quickened his pace to catch up. When the distance between the two was only about fifty meters, the man also noticed that someone was following behind, and his pace slowed down significantly. At ten meters, Li Anping coughed lightly, and the man stopped, but did not turn around.
"When is the bright moon?" Li Anping still took the risk of using the joint code that Lu Jie told him.
"Sometimes there is." The man replied, with a northern emphasis.
Li Anping heard that this person's words were exactly the same as what Lu Jie had told him before, so he said again: "What year is tonight?" ”
"Thirty-nine years."
This year is 1950 in the Western calendar, which happens to be the 39th year of the Republic of China. Both stopped, and after half a minute, the man said, "I want to go back with the wind." ”
Li Anping said: "But there is a sea separating it. ”
"I heard that your cousin is a haircut. Do I have a haircut?
"You are mistaken, sir, my cousin is a carpenter."
The man was silent for a moment, then slowly reached into his right trouser pocket.
Don't you have a razor in your right trouser pocket?
Li Anping secretly screamed: "It's not good." ”
Only then did he realize that he had overlooked one point: Lu Jie had a thick southern accent, but he had a northern accent.
If that man is really a "barber", he must know whether the person who connects with him is a southerner or a northerner.
Li Anping was immediately on guard, fortunately there was a distance between the two, and he was thinking about how to deal with it in his mind.
Suddenly, the man turned sharply. In the dark, Li Anping saw that the man's right hand was raised, and there was a sound of wind coming, so he was mentally prepared and hurriedly squatted. Li Anping only felt that something was brushing his hair, and he was frightened at the moment.
In desperation, he touched his trouser pocket, took out the master key, clenched his hands and made a pistol shape with his hands, and shouted: "Don't move, shoot again!" ”
He thought, anyway, it was dark now, and the two sides were so close that they couldn't even see each other's appearances, and they must not be able to see whether it was a real gun in his hand.
The man's right hand was raised again, and Li Anping subconsciously rolled to the side, but he didn't feel anything flying.
"Fooled!" When Li Anping got up, the man had already run away, and he couldn't catch up if he wanted to.
Li Anping lowered his head and looked in the direction of the bathroom in the dark, he wanted to find out what the man threw out for the first time.
It didn't take much effort for Li Anping to find a razor on the ground. Li Anping put away the razor and immediately went to find Zhao Zhengyuan.
Zhao Zhengyuan's worst worry still happened, and when he hadn't been able to get in touch with the upline, Li Anping had already startled the snake.
However, at this time, Zhao Zhengyuan did not know that he himself would face greater danger......
