In the morning, Xu Chengyan packed up as usual, walked out of the courtyard gate, locked the courtyard gate, and turned around to leave.

But at this moment, he saw a man waving to him through the glass in the window of the tailor's shop across the street.

Xu Chengyan looked at it fixedly, it was Aunt Chen, the daughter-in-law of the landlord Master Chen, who seemed to be in a hurry, and motioned for him to hurry over.

Xu Chengyan hesitated, but walked a few steps quickly, crossed the street to the tailor's shop, pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the house, Aunt Chen took a few steps forward, grabbed his arm, dragged him aside, and asked in a low voice with a somewhat mysterious expression: "Mr. Xu, have you offended someone?" ”

Aunt Chen's words made Xu Chengyan stunned, where did this start?

If you want to offend people, he can offend a lot, there are many people who have died at his hands during this time, for this, the Japanese have searched the entire Taiyuan City several times, making chickens and dogs jumping, not peaceful.

But this has nothing to do with Aunt Chen, her brainless words made Xu Chengyan not know how to answer.

"Aunt Chen, I don't dare to look up when I walk, who will I offend?"

Hearing Xu Chengyan's denial, Aunt Chen was not surprised, the Mr. Xu in front of her was polite, gentle and elegant, never spoke loudly to others, he was definitely a knowledgeable reader, and who could offend such a person.

Thinking of this, she was heartbroken, and explained carefully: "Early this morning, when I went to buy vegetables, I met Sister Zhang at the entrance of Qianjie, and she quietly told me that someone inquired about you nearby yesterday, and she happened to hear it.

The relationship between our sisters has always been good, because you are the tenant of my house, so she kept it in mind, she also said that her old man still knows that person, is a ruffian in the north of the city, called Tao Sibao, not a good thing, specializing in stealing chickens and dogs, I estimate that I am eyeing you, you can be careful these days, doors and windows should be closed, do not put valuable things at home, by the way, don't go to a place with few people, in short, it doesn't hurt to be careful! ”

Xu Chengyan was taken aback, someone was inquiring about his situation, you must know that the most important thing for a hidden agent is the safety of his identity, and now that someone has noticed him, that is, his identity is no longer safe, and there is a danger of being exposed.

At this time, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately showed a panicked expression on his face, and said in a loud voice: "There is still such a thing? This... This is really unexpected, you said, I am an honest person, I have no quarrel with the world, I never quarrel with others, and there are not a few copper plates on this body to worry about, how can this kind of person target me? ”

His worried appearance was very deceptive, and Aunt Chen hurriedly comforted him when he saw it: "Don't worry, you are our tenant, renting our house, if there is really something, we are not afraid, my brother-in-law is working in the police station, or a security police officer who specializes in guns, inquire around here, no one dares to bully us, I will tell him when the time comes, there will be nothing wrong." ”

Aunt Chen is a warm-hearted person, she kindly reminded Xu Chengyan that she didn't want him to suffer a secret loss, but she was afraid that her words would be too heavy and scare away such a good tenant, which would backfire, so she took care of the matter.

Although the Chen family is an ordinary person, they have lived in Taiyuan for generations, have a large population, and naturally have a lot of connections around them.

"That's great, if something happens, I'll count on you!" When Xu Chengyan heard this, he naturally bowed his hand again and again, and thanked him again and again.

Next, after listening to Aunt Chen's instructions, Xu Chengyan got out of the tailor shop and walked quickly to the end of the street.

As you walk, you wonder, who will be the person who secretly inquires about you? The ruffians in the north of the city? Nothing to do with yourself?

Xu Chengyan's mind was racing, and he suddenly seemed to remember something, he counted all the people around him who had come into contact with him, and the only one who had doubts about him was Lu Mingzhi.

And when the intelligence was summarized the day before yesterday, Ji Yun once said that Lu Mingzhi had secret contact with a man in the area of Xiaobeimen the day before yesterday, and the man got into Lu Mingzhi's car, talked for less than five minutes, and when he left, he also took a document bag, but he didn't know what the contents were.

Hearing Ji Yun's narration at that time, Xu Chengyan didn't pay too much attention, but according to what Aunt Chen said today, the gangsters in the north of the city were inquiring about themselves, so would there be any secret connection with the previous meeting?

His mind was thinking quickly, his footsteps did not stop, and soon he came to the noodle restaurant at the end of the street, where he solved breakfast every day, and at the same time met Ji Yun, but today he was a little hesitant.

Since someone is inquiring about him, will there be people secretly paying attention to his every move at this time? He didn't want to expose Ji Yun in front of people, so he didn't stop walking and walked directly through the door of the noodle restaurant.

As an intelligence agent, Xu Chengyan has a lot of experience and is definitely a master, so he decided to check the situation around him first and see if there is a tail behind him.

After a while, he saw a café on the side of the street in front of him, so he slowed down slightly, calculated the time in his heart, and then came to the glass window of the café on the street without hurrying, and gently tightened the button on his chest with his hand, as if he was tidying up his appearance.

At this moment, he peeked behind him through the reflection of the glass window, and sure enough, not far behind him, a young man who was originally in a hurry, stopped at this time, and then turned slightly sideways, looking leisurely, but he looked at it from time to time, obviously observing himself.

Sure enough, someone is following!

Xu Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief, his face was calm, his face was as usual, he stretched the placket of the green cloth robe, and took out the pocket watch from his arms in a hurry, looked at the time, and then continued to move forward.

But at this time, Ji Yun happened to come over from the corner of the street, and when he looked up and saw Xu Chengyan, he was suddenly a little surprised, at this time, Xu Chengyan should be waiting for him to meet in the noodle shop, and he should not appear here.

And Xu Chengyan also saw Ji Yun, he turned his face to one side, pretended not to know, and continued to move forward.

There is a case!

Ji Yun and Xu Chengyan have always had a deep tacit understanding, and even knew what the other party wanted to do with a single look, just looking at Xu Chengyan's performance, he knew that it was wrong, and at the moment he naturally pretended to be an irrelevant pedestrian and passed by Xu Chengyan.

And the man who was monitoring Xu Chengyan saw Xu Chengyan leaving, and hurriedly followed, just passing by Ji Yun, and was recognized by Ji Yun at once.

This person is following Xu Chengyan!

Ji Yun immediately understood the reason why Xu Chengyan didn't join him, and immediately walked a few steps quickly to open up a distance, and then carefully observed the surrounding movements.

His vision was sharp, and he had already judged that there was only one person nearby who was following Xu Chengyan, so he also followed, far behind the two people, ready to answer Xu Chengyan at any time.

In this way, Xu Chengyan walked in front, walked out of two blocks, and only made two tentative movements, and soon figured out that although the man who was following behind him was clever, he obviously had not received training, and he couldn't even see the most basic anti-tracking movements.

In other words, this person is definitely not an agent of the special high class, just an ordinary person with no relevant skills, it seems that the information that Aunt Chen told him is accurate, could this person be the gangster Tao Sibao in Aunt Chen's mouth?

After making this judgment, Xu Chengyan's tense nerves immediately relaxed, presumably the Japanese had not noticed him, otherwise they would not have sent such a person to follow and monitor, since this is the case, there is no need to turn around in circles.

At this time, the pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and the people came and went very lively, Xu Chengyan picked a main road with the most people, and with the help of the familiar terrain, it was just a simple dodge action, and he easily threw off the tail behind him.

An hour later, in a small courtyard in the east of the city, the two men met again and sat opposite each other.

This is the new residence that Ji Yun has just rented, and it is not far from Xu Chengyan's residence, but the environment is much safer than before.

Ji Yunsan spoke first: "After you flicked your tail, I followed him for a while, and now he has returned to squatting near your residence." ”

"Just him?"

"He's the only one, and he's still a mallet." Ji Yun nodded and said, "I don't know where it came from, but it's definitely not a professional agent." ”

He kept following behind, saw the man's every move clearly, and soon came to the same judgment as Xu Chengyan.

"It's supposed to be a local gangster."

Xu Chengyan recounted what Aunt Chen told today, and then said: "The only person who has ever doubted us is Lu Mingzhi, and I judge that it should be someone sent by Lu Mingzhi. ”

Ji Yun couldn't help but be a little strange, he asked suspiciously, "Lu Mingzhi?" The Criminal Investigation Department of the police station has manpower, and it still uses this kind of goods? ”

"I don't know, but Lu Mingzhi must have his reasons for doing this, didn't you say it before, he had contact with a middle-aged man near the Xiaobeimen two days ago, and he took a briefcase with him when he left, I think, this person's background needs to be checked, and it will have something to do with it."

This time reminded Ji Yun, he thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "It's really possible, almost negligent, but that person is not difficult to check, his appearance is very distinctive, his figure is not tall, goldfish eyes, onion nose, look at that dress, like a ruffian."

By the way, I remembered one thing, when he left, there was a pancake seller not far away, he picked one up casually, the stall owner not only confiscated the money, but also nodded to him, he must know this person, I went to ask to make it clear. ”

"That's the best, you go check as soon as possible, I have an extra pair of eyes around me, it's inconvenient to do anything, if this matter is really related to Lu Mingzhi, it means that he has begun to investigate me, and he may do it at any time, you must solve him first, and you can't give him a chance to make a move."

Xu Chengyan judged that Lu Mingzhi did not disclose his situation to the Japanese now, otherwise the people who are now following him must be Japanese agents who have undergone strict training, that is, as long as he moves fast enough, he still has a chance to turn the situation around.

He continued: "Now we are divided into two ways, you go to investigate that person's background, I will deal with Tian Wenhui's affairs, in addition, my residence is no longer safe during this time, and we will all meet you in the future." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Ji Yun nodded in agreement.
