"Keep an eye on him, but don't show any traces." The policeman confessed before leaving. Then he went out and went to the next inn.

After a busy morning, the little policeman Vieri finally returned to the police station. He first went to Sheriff Alain to report the situation according to the rules.

"Sheriff, this is the situation with the new occupants of the various inns today." Vieri handed the notebook to Alain.

"Anyone worth noting?" Alain asked, taking the notebook and setting it aside.

"There was an Englishman named Kolya who lived next to Factory No. 5. You know, this factory is a factory under NORINCO, which produces all kinds of deadly things. Some foreigners have always been very attentive to some of the secrets there. ”

"Of course, I know that Sergeant Olivier became the deputy chief because he caught an Austrian spy trying to steal secrets here in Factory No. 5?"

"Well, it is said that Deputy Director Olivier has been trying to convince him to come back here as Deputy Director and continue to pursue the case. He said there were fish that slipped through the net last time. "Deputy Director Olivier is not young, less than two years away from retirement. is still working so hard, does he still want to be promoted to director? ”

"Director Sheng, how is that possible? Let's not mention that he's about to retire, Director, can he just solve the case? Alan pouted and said, "Director, he doesn't want to think about it, but he definitely wants to raise his salary by two levels before he retires, to the top of the position of deputy director, and then he can go home with a good retirement annuity to live a comfortable life."

It was almost as difficult for Madame du Barry (mistress of King Louis XV) to become queen as it was for the deputy secretary to become the director. But if you want to raise wages by two levels, you really only need to solve a few cases. ”

While speaking, Sheriff Alan flipped through the record book, he quickly found Fagin's relevant records, stared at them wide-eyed, and then shook his head and said, "I directly registered my nationality, and I can't even make a fake document to disguise it." This shouldn't be a big deal. But if there is a problem, we have to keep an eye on it, even if we really catch a stupid thief, it will be a credit......"

As he spoke, an old man in civilian clothes walked in from outside.

"Chief Oliveira, why are you here again?" Alain hurriedly stood up.

"Ah, this is my old place, and I feel at home here. It's boring over there at the police station. Ah, when I was coming over today, I saw an old thief. Definitely an old thief, I know it at a glance. The guy was right next to Factory No. 5, talking to the workers. I didn't want to be too startled, so I didn't follow him, well, you registered at the inn here yesterday to show me......"

So Deputy Director Oliveira naturally saw the record about Fagin at a glance.

"Well, that's kind of interesting." Deputy Director Oliveira saw Fagin's record at a glance, "an Englishman who openly lived next to Factory No. 5 and made no secret of his identity...... Alain, do you think they're going to have a whole bunch of people, this Britze......"

Deputy Chief Oliveira pointed his finger at the record, "This Brit is probably a bait on the surface. He will act openly to attract our attention and thus cover other thieves hiding in the shadows. Well, if that's the case, then we're really busy. Alain ......"

Deputy Director Oliveira looked at Alain, and seeing that he didn't seem to be in good spirits, he said again, "Alain, you know, I'm retiring. ”

The phrase worked all at once. Alain was immediately motivated.

"Director, do we want to arrest that Englishman and ask him carefully?"

"No, but send someone to keep an eye on him. Of course, just send two newbies. I think the old thief I met, I think might be the key person. Well, tomorrow Vieri you go and keep an eye on that Englishman. Alain, put on your civilian clothes and come with me to find that old thief......"

The next afternoon, Fagin returned to the hotel. He ran outside all day and saw quite a few things. In general, France is by no means a paradise. The workers' lives were much better than in England, but they were barely able to fill their bellies. Compared with before the revolution, their lives have changed a lot and become much better, but they still can't bear any fluctuations, sudden illness, disability or something, they may be doomed.

"If I had joined the army and fought in the war, maybe it would have been good." Many workers and Fagin mentioned this, "When you are a soldier fights a war, not many people die. But the military salary is quite a lot, and there are many benefits after leaving the army. For example, land can be bought cheaply from the state – and with land, who else will work in a factory? ”

In addition to lamenting the fact that they could not join the army during the war years, more people have another expectation.

"I've heard that ships going to the New World are now free to sail, and it's a good choice to go to the New World. Isn't it just farming? I heard that it is relatively easy to get a piece of land of your own over there. When I make enough money in the factory, I will go to the New World to be a happy farmer......"

"The workers in France have a little more bread than the English workers, or at least they have a little more hope. Although many people are hoping for a quick war, it doesn't seem to be good......"

In addition, Fei Jin also found that someone was following him. He was a veteran who followed him, and he walked from the Saint-Antoine district to a nearby rich area, and used a lot of tricks, including finding a policeman, making a panicked look and saying to him, "Mr. policeman, I found that someone was following me, and I followed me all the way from the gate of the xx bank to this ......", so as to get rid of the guy who was following behind. In such a slum, it is not an ordinary thing to meet a master stalker.

Generally speaking, such stalkers are either police officers or gang members. But in terms of numbers, there are more police. Moreover, there are still some differences between the police and the gang members in terms of tracking methods. For example, the average gang member stalks a person and usually does not follow out of his own territory, and the Saint-Antoine district and the adjacent rich district obviously cannot be the same gang territory. So Fagin estimated that most of the people who followed him were policemen.

Although Saint-Antoine has police (which is much stronger than London), the number of police officers is still far less than in other areas. And the probability of the emergence of a master is naturally lower. As soon as I arrived in Paris with my front foot, I was targeted by the police on my back foot, which seemed too wrong.

"Probably there's a big case here, so ...... I just happened to bump into it. ”

Thinking so, Fagin went back to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the hotel, Fagin saw the owner approaching with a French policeman.

"Mr. Kolya?" Vieri, the little policeman, asked.

"Yes. What's the matter? Fagin was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that he would actually meet a policeman in a dilapidated hotel in a slum.

"That's right." Vieri pulled out a picture and said, "We often have to check the information of the passengers here...... Why did you come to Paris? ”

"It looks like there's really a big case." Thinking so, Fagin replied, "I have a friend who came to France a few years ago. Recently I heard that he was in Paris and came here to look for him. ”

"What's his name? Also, do you have his address? Vieri asked, taking notes.

"Jager Golem." Fagin replied that some inconsequential details were better than inconsistencies, "but I have only heard that I have seen him in the Saint-Antoine district of Paris, and I do not know where he lives." ”

"Paris is big, and it's not easy to find someone. You came to Paris just because of a rumor? ”

"Of course not, I'm just dropping by. In a few days, I'll be heading south. Fagin replied.

"Is there anything you have to do with your trip to the South? Ah, you don't have to answer this question either. ”

"Ah, it's not a secret, it's just business. Of course, I can't say anything more specific. Fagin replied.

"One last question. When do you plan to leave Paris? Vieri asked.

"The day after tomorrow. I'll inquire again tomorrow, look for him, and leave the day after tomorrow. Fagin replied. To be honest, he doesn't want to be involved in some big case for no reason.

"Well, thank you for your cooperation. Hope I didn't bother you too much. Vieri put away the notebook and walked out.

Vieri hadn't gone far when he met Deputy Director Oliveira, dressed as an old worker.

"Vieri, what does that Englishman you just saw look like?" Deputy Director Oliveira asked.

Vieri described Fagin's appearance and clothing in detail.

"Hell! This is the old thief I saw yesterday! What the hell is this guy doing? ”

"Do you want to bring someone over and catch him immediately?" Vieri Road.

"No, keep staring. This time I'm here to keep an eye on him. There's definitely something wrong with him! Deputy Director Oliveira said.

Being got rid of that old thief in that way made Deputy Director Oliveira deeply ashamed. He was determined to dig up this guy's conspiracy.

However, the next day, he realized that his previous guess may have been wrong.

The next morning, the old thief went out anyway. The cunning guy went straight to the rich area, and Deputy Director Oliveira, who was dressed in a worker's costume yesterday, was stopped by his peers because he was too incompatible with the rich area, and as a result, he lost his target.

But not this time, Deputy Director Oliveira wore clothes that he could barely go anywhere and quietly followed Fagin.

As for Fagin, he didn't deliberately play hide and seek with Deputy Director Oliveira today, but after learning about the situation in the rich area, he went directly to the Ministry of Truth.
