CHAPTER XIV

Theoretically, anyone's behavior can be predicted through analysis, and people also have the need to predict the behavior of others, hence the discipline of psychology, but the significance of psychology in practical application is still up for debate. The irony of this discipline is that the best psychologists are not those who have degrees, but salesmen, department heads in enterprises and institutions, teachers, police officers, lawyers, and so on, who often have extensive contact with different groups of people. They don't cleverly put the label of a "psychologist" on their heads, but they always get what they want from others, and this skill comes largely from a lot of experience.

Regarding Chang Xudong's reaction, Luo Meng had long known it.

Chang Xudong would not use such a confidential thing to repay the "favor" he owed, and the "favor" is almost non-existent among spies. The mutual "help" between the two spies has long had ulterior motives, so each spy will talk about "favors", but each spy does not intend to cash in, at least not when you need it.

But there are still skills, and Rohmin made an impossible request at the beginning, and once Chang Xudong refuses this request, it means that Rohm's next request is more likely to be met. When the danger he faces is not so realistic, Chang Xudong will also be an ordinary person, and there is also human nature, and Rohmon just wants to take advantage of his guilt. Originally, he didn't know if it was appropriate to treat Chang Xudong with such means, but Chang Xudong's practice of making him wait all morning made him make up his mind.

He was not for himself, but for a secret mission, and the whole point of his existence was that.

"What kind of action did you carry out to keep such a secret?"

Chang Xudong's question is exactly what Rohm was looking forward to, which shows that he has been confined to a dilemma.

"If I tell you, I won't call it a secret." Rohmon smiled. "When you were in Africa, you didn't tell me what you were for. We all know the rules, so don't ask so many questions like a rookie. ”

"I can find you a place to stay and a car, but I don't have much else to help you." Chang Xudong hesitated. "We belong to different departments, and we can only do our own thing without instructions from our superiors, which is also the rule."

"That's good, we don't owe anyone anything." Rohmon couldn't help but sarcastically. "It's still the rule."

If Chang Xudong heard the meaning of Luomon's words, then he didn't express it, his face has always been thicker than others imagined, which is also a characteristic that most people can't see from Chang Xudong's mediocre appearance. Don't underestimate civil servants, Rohmon said to himself in his heart. Even the lowest level of civil servants is deeper than the most senior spies in terms of "shamelessness".

By the end of the evening, Chang Xudong had already prepared everything. The house is on the third floor of an old-fashioned five-story building, the doors and windows have been unobtrusively reinforced, and there are no pesky security nets outside the windows, the corridors are long and dark, and most importantly, the place is inhabited by tenants who come to Shanghai in search of employment, who are always in a hurry, and no one cares about the gossip of the neighbors.

The car was a half-old Guangzhou Honda, which was not so conspicuous and the performance was good enough in the big city, and Rohm checked the engine, and the car was in better condition than he expected. Obviously, Chang Xudong put his heart into the two things he promised him, and this house may even be a secret place for internal use.

Chang Xudong took out another half dozen beers. "Shall we have a drink together?"

No sooner had he flung his large duffel bag over his shoulders than Rohmon looked back at him.

"Shouldn't you go home? At your age, you shouldn't let your wife wait at home by herself. Besides, I don't see what we can talk about between us. ”

Chang Xudong smiled mockingly. "I forgot, you freaks don't drink."

He approached Rohmon and shoved him with a Type 77 pistol. "That's the last thing I can do for you."

This little gesture seems to be very warm, but unfortunately, he thinks about what Rohmon thinks clearly, so it is not a good intention. Moreover, even if he had good intentions, Rohmin would not stop asking him for help because he was moved.

"I don't need this here." Rohmon smiled and rejected him. "Also, don't say 'do the last thing for me'. First of all, it's not for me, and secondly, because it's not for me, you don't want to have any stupid thoughts about the last. You're not far from wanting to play this game with me. ”

Chang Xudong withdrew his pistol and sighed. "Actually, I just don't want to have anything to do with you."

"That's not something you and I have the final say."

Rohmon patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and turned to walk into the old building, which seemed to be crumbling even the stairs.

The damp smell of an old building came to his face, the dim light cast his shadow on the dirty floor, the disproportionately wide staircase seemed even more empty, and if it weren't for the aroma of cooking and the conversation in the hallway, Rohmin would have thought he was in the scene of a horror movie.

Chang Xudong could still be seen standing there in the window of the corridor, and Luo Man waved to him, Chang Xu Dong threw down a freshly lit cigarette and waved to Luo Man, and then left.

His actions were a little odd, Rohmon thought to himself.

It was clear that no one had been here for a long time, but the room was fairly clean, and Rohmon wiped the dust off the table with his sleeve and turned on his laptop from his travel bag. This is the operating platform of his own monitoring system, which is wirelessly connected to a monitor called "Sky Eye". The "Sky Eye" is a softball-shaped and sized fisheye camera that maintains horizontal surveillance no matter how it is thrown, and is able to rotate to ensure a 360-degree viewing range. This was originally designed by army technicians, and it was intended to be used to replace the CCD camera with optical fiber connection to increase the effect of observation of the closed environment by special forces in anti-terrorist operations, but because it did not have its own ability, it was difficult to determine the location of the stay once it was thrown, and the observation range was seriously limited in an environment with many furniture and messy things, so it has not yet been put into mass production and actual combat.

Rohm found the tool useful, so he bought it from the technicians with a multi-purpose tool made by the German company Solingen for the German Ninth Frontier Brigade. He himself has not used this set of things in actual combat, but it is completely different to monitor the situation around him, it is both hidden and convenient, it can work for twelve hours on a single charge, and the data it collects will not take up too much hard disk space after being compressed by software, so that Rohm can observe the situation at any time in twenty-four hours.

After inspecting the Colt pistol of four or five caliber Caliber that the "Desert Warrior" had with him, Rohmon decided not to take it with him. When there is no real danger, carrying this thing will cause unnecessary trouble to yourself, and under the pillow is the best place for it. In normal times, a butterfly tactical folding knife made of 440C steel can cope with most situations.

Returning to his familiar working state cheered him up a lot.

Regarding the list that Luo Men asked Chang Xudong about, he had actually already obtained it from An Nianrong. Although he didn't know the information about the MP5 submachine gun, under this pretext, he exchanged the information he wanted from An Nianrong. As for how to give an account to An Nianrong, Luo Men didn't think about it carefully. Now An Nianrong has a request for him, so she must have a fairly good patience.

Many people have defected after coming into contact with disguised foreign or Taiwanese businessmen. According to the analysis and comparison of the Ministry of Security, the Japanese did the best in this regard, with the strongest concealment and the greatest hidden damage; The second is the United States, whose rebellion covers the widest range, and despite repeated defeats and wars, the manpower and material resources they have invested have not tended to weaken. However, as the legal system gradually improves and society becomes more transparent, many incidents no longer directly constitute criminal acts, so China's counter-espionage cause is facing new difficulties and challenges.

An interesting fact is that in espionage, it is the Chinese spies who are the least effective, and it is the Chinese spies who have achieved the most results in a single case. The reason for this is difficult to explain clearly, perhaps because of the same root and the same species, or the two sides do not buy each other and it is difficult to communicate; Either they fall in love with each other and hit it off, which is probably the so-called "Chinese characteristics" in interpersonal relationships, so using Chinese spies is an out-and-out gamble.

Rohmin decided to start with these people disguised as Taiwanese businessmen. Two weeks is not enough time for him to infiltrate these foreign spies, but Rohmin has Romon's methods, and if he can't infiltrate from the inside, he has to start from the outside. Drama actors will change, each with its own subtle differences.

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Romon looked at his face.

After taking a shower, he shaved off the beard that almost covered half of his face, trimmed his sideburns and front hair slightly with scissors, and then tied his long wet hair back in a ponytail, and now a handsome face appeared in the mirror. Rubbing his smooth chin back and forth, Rohmon himself felt that his face was unfamiliar.

The man in the mirror looked tired and gray, and his gloomy eyes were filled with boredom and suspicion.

It was as if he was looking at someone else.
