Chapter 209: Lone Wolf (48)
About an hour later, the person I was waiting for came into view. The third person, expressionless, appeared in the field of vision, and entered the hotel directly without looking around. I left the café as soon as I saw him enter the inn, but instead of going to the inn, I turned around and walked again in the direction of the hilltop monastery, and I think the old man must have returned to the inn again. Otherwise, he shouldn't have returned to the inn.
When I looked at number 120 from the window on the north side of the monastery, I saw clearly that the old man Ullman had appeared on the balcony. At this moment, he took off his glasses, still held a cup of coffee or tea in his hand, and stood sideways on the balcony looking at the direction of the Salzakh River, looking very relaxed and comfortable.
"It would be nice to have a sniper rifle at this point." I whispered. And just as I said this, a voice suddenly came from the voice of a person next to me.
I immediately turned my head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a young male staff member with glasses in the monastery standing about two or three meters away from me. The man saw me look at him and spoke again, as if I were asking me something.
I shook my head to indicate that I didn't understand what he was saying, and the man thought for a moment and turned to English, "What are you looking at?" My colleagues and I have noticed that you have been here for the past two days, sometimes several times a day. ”
Hearing this question, I immediately realized that my repeated entry into the monastery still aroused the suspicion of others, and I pretended not to understand the expression and quickly thought of a reasonable answer as I said, "Can you say it again?" Please slow down. ”
The man nodded, and repeated the words again at a very slow pace. And I nodded and said, "Oh, yes." That's right. I raised my camera as I said, "I think it's the angle you can see here." I said as I gestured out the window, "It's good to go out at this angle." I want to take a picture of the big scene. After saying that, I shrugged my shoulders, "But unfortunately, I wasn't satisfied with the previous shots." So, I had to go back and forth a few times. I said and pointed outside, "Actually, I've had interviews outside, but I'm not satisfied." ”
"Really?" The man looked at me suspiciously, then at the camera in my hand, raised his hand and pointed at my camera and said, "Are you sure you used such a camera to shoot?" ”
"Yes. Is there something wrong? I looked at my camera and looked a little embarrassed, "To be honest, I'm a beginner. That's why it's so repeated tossing. ”
"Uhhh This person also seemed a little embarrassed to see my embarrassed appearance, "Sorry, I don't mean anything else, but I just suggest that you should try a different lens, such as a 70-200mm lens?" That would make for some nice vistas. ”
"Huh? So that's how ... I said, glancing at the lens of my camera, "So where do you sell lenses?" ”
"You have to go south for this." The man said and pointed to the guide.
"Crossing the river? Did I say the Salzakh River? I asked.
"Yes, that's right. Across the river, there is a shop specializing in photographic equipment at the south gate of the Salzburg Museum of Modern Art. You can check it out there. The man said.
"The south gate of the Salzburg Museum of Modern Art, right?" I asked.
"Yes. That's right. The man nodded.
I immediately reached out and smiled, "Thank you." Thank you very much"
When this man saw that I was about to shake hands with him, he also looked very satisfied, stretched out his hand and shook my hand, and said, "I will give you another suggestion." The best place to take a photo here is not here, you can go to a place called Nature House over there, where the building is high enough to see a lot of places, and the view is much better than here. It's also closer to the famous buildings here. ”
"Really? So look, where is this place on this map? As I spoke, I took out the tour map, unfolded it, and put it in front of the man's eyes, who quickly pointed to a place on the map and said, "This is the modern museum... "This is the approximate location of the House of Nature." ”
"Thank you. Thank you so much. I put the map away and shook the man's hand again, "Then I'll go right over." Thank you again for your advice and help. ”
"You're welcome. I wish you success. Good bye. The man said politely.
I immediately left the monastery. The conversation I had just had with this man made me know two things, the first of which was that I was suspicious of being in the same place so often. And it's a bit unreliable to disguise your identity and intentions with something you don't know. Although it does not directly pose a threat or danger to me, there are still hidden dangers. Second, I got the hint that it was a better point to watch. This place is called the House of Nature. On the map, this place is not very far from the Salzach River, and more importantly, this place is almost in a straight line with Marcus Street on the map.
This place can actually be seen from this hill, but it is not as high as this mountain, but maybe the buildings around the old town are more low and simple, which makes the view of that place better. The most important thing is that from this person's mouth, you can hear that this place can be taken up, and taking pictures on it should be a very ordinary and common thing, which is not the same as saying that I deliberately stayed there for a long time to monitor No. 120, and I don't have to worry about being found out without coming down? This is undoubtedly very good news for me.
But instead of going to the place called Nature House, I went to the south gate of the Salzburg Museum of Modern Art and found the camera shop. I really bought a 70-200mm lens. After all, you have to learn a lesson and pretend to be a little bit like that, and there is a sentence from the person when talking about this lens, "For example, a 70-200mm lens?" That would make for some nice vistas. "Isn't that exactly what I want? Just a good time to take a clearer look at number 120, maybe you can leave a few nice photos for that old guy.
After buying this lens, I asked the person in the store to install it for me, and I also asked the other party to teach me how to use the camera, but fortunately, this person speaks English well and is very patient. It took me about 20 minutes to understand the meaning of the messy parameters on the camera, as well as the differences and characteristics of different shooting gears.
After figuring this out, I followed the directions on the map and headed north to the Nature House. This natural house is a place like a science museum. After buying a ticket to get in, I went straight to the elevator and headed straight to the top floor.
