The three of them seemed to have a close relationship with D, and they were all very happy to see him come back safely, as if the heart that had been mentioning his throat and eyes had been put back down. The lady, in particular, was overjoyed.

After a hug and greeting, D found a chair and sat down, picked up the cup on the table and took a casual sip, "Hmm... Good bitter taste. He looked at the lady as he spoke, "Can't you put some sugar or milk?" With that, he put the cup back on the table and turned to look at the other two, "So, let's have some good news." Is there good news? ”

The one with the glasses took off the glasses, rubbed his eyes a little tiredly, and said, "We haven't been found." Is this good news? ”

"You're always so pessimistic. Andrew, like this since childhood. D shook his head helplessly and looked at the other two, "Except that they haven't been found yet... What about the others? ”

"Things are already shifting. And a part of it was transferred. The man who was one of the two said.

"Look." D smiled and pointed at him, "Fellman is good news. ”

"That's part of what we've been doing lately. It's about the gentleman in Berlin. The woman shrugged her shoulders and put her hands in her pockets of her clothes, looking a little helpless.

"She's right." The bespectacled guy named Andrew said, "She got your warning and put those things away. So as long as we leave, even if they occupy this place, they won't know what we've been trying to do lately. ”

"Well done, Anya." Hearing Andrew say this, D glanced appreciatively at the lady they called Anya. Then he got up from his chair and said, "So after all that is said and done, is there any bad news?" ”

"Someone has been here today." Andrew Road.

"Been here?" D looked at Andrew, not only D, but I immediately withdrew the look at Andrew. After all, this probably means that the other party has discovered this place and started to carry out field reconnaissance, which is commonly said to be stepping on the spot, and in other words, they are likely to do it.

"Yes." Andrew nodded and put his glasses back on. And came to the row of surveillance, where apparently they had their own DVR. He said as he operated: "Just after noon today, two people checked in. ”

A few of us followed to the monitor screen and stared at one of the main control interfaces. I saw that a video began to play on the screen, and the time in the lower right corner showed that it was one o'clock this afternoon. Three or four people came to the front desk one after another.

"These two. See? Andrew pointed to the screen as he spoke, and I saw two people standing in front of him and behind him, male. One dragged a carry-on suitcase and carried a backpack, and the other carried a travel bag.

"See. What's wrong with them? D asked puzzled, "These are the two of them, is there anything strange about them?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Andrew said this and continued to look at the screen. D didn't ask again, but continued to look down with the others.

I saw that these two people looked around after they came in, and one of them deliberately looked at the surveillance. However, this is normal, many people like to look at a new and unfamiliar environment, and often glance at the camera intentionally or unintentionally. However, after the two of them checked in and entered their rooms, they didn't stay long before they went out of their rooms.

"They hadn't said a word before. I also stayed in different rooms. "But they went out at the same time, and they each walked around the inn." ”

We listened to Andrew's introduction and looked at the screen, and sure enough, the two of them went out of the door shortly after entering their respective rooms, and walked around the hotel and talked to the cleaning staff. After that, they walked out of the hotel and circled around. It's like checking.

"What are they doing here?" D asked, "Did this find us?" After saying that, he looked at me and said, "What do you think?" ”

Just as D spoke, the video ended. Andrew looked at D and me and said, "After finding out that something was wrong with these two people, I asked them to check and found that their names appeared in another hotel two days ago. And among the people living in that inn are the people who first discovered it as reported to you. ”

"And they're in a gang?" I asked.

"Not really." Andrew gave me one look and said, "We don't know if they did it on purpose, and we don't know if they had any contact in that hotel. But as far as we feel, they don't feel like they're in a group. The check-in time is different, and they usually have no contact, and if they are in a group, then they can't explain leaving the team here, and they can't think of what they want to do at all. ”

"It's not like they're here to step on it." I shook my head, "These two don't feel like they do to me." They are more like checking than scouting. ”

"Check?" D looked at me puzzled, "Is there any difference between inspection and reconnaissance?" ”

"Of course!" I immediately replied, "Checking means they don't know if there's something going on, so they're checking for errors, it's like checking yourself for errors, but before you do it, you default to a state where there's no error, at least you don't have a clear goal and don't know what's wrong." And reconnaissance is different, how to reconnoitre? To take the simplest example, you need to scout when you enter an enemy-occupied area, or when you know exactly that there is a high probability of an enemy and you don't have full control of the area. ”

"Listen to you... D nodded and said, "It does seem to be very different. That is, one knows and the problem is the other, and the other is just to prevent the problem? Is that so? ”

"Yes." I nodded, "You can say that." That's pretty much it. I said and gestured to the screen, "So I don't think these two guys are in a state of knowing exactly what's here, but like they're trying to prevent something from going wrong here." ”

"And what are they going to do?" Andrew asked, looking at D in confusion.

D shook his head, "I don't know." It's weird. ”

And just as D was talking, Anya on the side suddenly raised her hand and pointed at one of the monitoring screens and said, "Look, they're out." ”

We all turned our heads to look at the surveillance, only to see these two guys open their respective doors, and then went downstairs, one of the guys also communicated with the staff at the front desk when he walked to the front desk, as if he was inquiring about something, and only after getting confirmation from the staff did he raise his feet and continue to walk out. We immediately looked at another screen, and saw the other guy stop after walking out of the hotel, waiting outside, and after seeing him come out, the two quickly walked out and disappeared into the night.
