Chapter Seventy-One: The Bookstore
Parker raised his hand and said, "Understood, I understood." Trust me, I'll take care of it. You're going to be able to go home when this is over, right? ”
The woman looked at Parker and said, "I can only go back." Because if this is really done, I think the Americans will quickly notice, after all, they will be in trouble later, and they will soon know that it is their own project that has gone wrong. Then I will definitely be a suspect if I work backwards. So I'm definitely going to go. ”
"Okay." Parker nodded, "If that day comes, I'd like to ask you to do me a favor?" ”
"What?" The woman asked.
Parker pouted and said, "Help me bring something back." ”
"Give it to your family?" The woman asked, looking a little surprised.
Parker glanced at her and said, "Don't have that look. I know you're afraid of breaking discipline. Don't worry, it's nothing, it's just a few nonsense letters to report safety. Plus a little money. That's it. ”
"Okay." When this woman heard Parker say this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart. In fact, everyone hasn't been back for almost many years, and it's actually no different from dying. So although she still had some concerns, she readily agreed. "If there is a day to go back, I will definitely help you bring your things back."
"Thank you." Parker said, glancing to the side and said, "Here comes the food we ordered." The dinner began. ”
After that, Parker and the woman did not say a word about work, and the two of them chatted about the mess over dinner like friends for many years, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the two of them left the restaurant very happily and contentedly.
Tucker, who had been out for nearly an hour after lunch on the other side of the globe at the same time, saw that the time was almost up, so he went to the bookstore where he had agreed to meet.
After entering the bookstore, the guy first put on a look of looking for a book in the bookstore, and walked around first. This bookstore is not big, not the kind of large bookstore with two or three floors, but a small bookstore of about 100 square meters, and the shelves for all kinds of books are very close, and the aisles are very narrow. It's just that there aren't many people who should be the reason for time at the moment, so this side makes Tucker who is wandering around attract the attention of the salesperson. I saw a salesperson walking towards Tucker with a smile and saying in English with a smile, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" ”
Tucker looked at the salesman with a smile and said, "Uh... Yes. I'm looking for some language books. If you are learning Chinese, do you understand what I mean? ”
"Yes. Got it. The salesman's English was good, and he nodded and said, "We have here, but there aren't many of them." ”
"Can you take me to see it?" Tucker asked.
"Of course. Please follow me. The salesman took Tucker to an inconspicuous corner of the bookstore, looked at the books on the shelves, and pointed to one of the rows, "These are them." ”
"Okay. Thank you. Tucker laughed and continued, "I'll see if I can read it." Thank you. ”
The salesperson seemed to be idle, and wanted to enthusiastically introduce Tucker, but at this moment, the doorbell rang at the entrance and exit of the bookstore. So the salesman said, "Please take care of yourself." If you need any more help, you can come to me. ”
Tucker answered and pretended to take a book from the shelf and read it, and after a while, there was a voice from the doorway, and after a while, a footstep not only walked slowly in the direction of Tucker.
Tucker continued to look down at the book, but his peripheral vision was in the direction from which the footsteps came. I saw that the footsteps stopped from time to time, as if I was really looking for a book. This made Tucker wonder if it was the one who was going to meet him. So he raised his hand and looked at the time, and at two o'clock, the time had come. Just then, the footsteps were heard again, and a figure appeared next to a bookshelf not far from Tucker.
The man was seen with his back to Tucker, and judging from the man's back, he was wearing slacks, a T-shirt with a white collar, and a pair of white travel shoes on his feet. The hair on the hair is relatively long, neatly combed, and should be a parted head. From his ears, the man was wearing glasses, as the ends of the two black temples could be seen on the ears.
The man took the book in his hand and looked at it, and then put it back away. Then he slowly turned to look at Tucker.
Tucker glanced at the man, and saw that the man was indeed wearing a pair of glasses, and perhaps because he still had a little beard, he looked a little old, about forty or fifty years old. Tucker withdrew his gaze and put the book back in his hand, and the other party walked slowly and leisurely towards Tucker.
After this person came to Tucker's side, he casually took down the book Tucker had just put back, opened it, looked at it, and said in English: "Want to learn Chinese?" ”
Tucker looked at this man, this man speaks English quite well, and if you don't look at it face to face, you tell Tucker that this is an American, he will believe it. Tucker didn't speak, though, just looked at the other books on the shelves.
The man looked at the book in his hand and said, "You're early." That's not a good habit. ”
Tucker sighed slightly and said, "It's better than being late." I took down another book and looked at it, "I need you to help me confirm what the specific code name or name of the object over there is." I also need to know if they have any countermeasures, i.e. what they want to do with the stolen things, and if they have any plans and measures to use the information they have gained from this project for their own use. If so, I would like to receive information on this. ”
The man looked up at Tucker when he heard this, and then whispered, "I thought you were going to want to find that insect." So do you know what this project is doing? ”
Tucker knew that the insect he was referring to was the code name "Ji Bee". I just heard him say: "I'm looking for it, but maybe it's easier than finding him right now." This project is a huge cyber warfare plan that uses the network to carry out various infiltration, and then carries out intelligence information theft, target search, system control, and public opinion incitement. ”
The man seemed to be a little surprised by this plan, he glanced at Tucker and said, "Sounds very powerful, and you already have clues and eyebrows?" ”
Tucker sighed slightly, and instead of answering directly, he said, "The person in the information you sent last time stayed in Los Angeles. As far as I can tell, there must have been an action around that project. ”
