Chapter 197: The Lone Wolf (36)
"Won't I be able to stay here for long after you're gone?" I asked.
"If you want to be safe, of course not here. In my opinion, the safest thing is to stay away from here. But obviously this is not possible. D said.
I nodded and said, "Of course not." I should have been ambushed nearby, or I wouldn't have known what our target was doing. After all, it's just me. β
"That's right. My idea is that if Murphy leaves, you'll have to wait and see for a while. Don't do it until you're sure you don't have any circumstances. D said.
"Are you afraid that old Murphy has made special arrangements here and left a hand." I said.
"Yes." D thought for a moment, "Old Murphy is very cunning, and we have to be cautious and cautious when dealing with him, whether he keeps a hand or not." β
I nodded, "Do you remember the night before when we walked down the river to Marcus Street?" β
"Yes. I asked you to wait for me outside the intersection that night. D looked at me puzzled, "Is there anything special?" β
"Yes." That night I noticed a man lying on a bench, "I didn't know what I was supposed to do. So I came to the bench, and I saw a man lying on the bench, probably drinking too much. β
"What are you trying to illustrate?" D, looking even more puzzled, asked, "I remember that there were often people lying on those benches for the night. Tramps, drunkards. β
"Yes." I nodded, "You say you see it often?" β
"yes. These are not surprising. I've noticed that, too. At this point, D seemed to understand what I meant, "You want to be them?" β
"That's right." I looked at D and said, "Since this kind of thing doesn't seem strange to you. Didn't even look at it. So does it mean that it is safer to become them? β
Hearing me say this, D stood up and walked back and forth in the room a few times, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said, "That's a good idea. But you have to face other risks. For example, some scoundrels who specialize in robbing drunks, and law enforcement officers who clean up homeless people. And you'll have to sleep in the open for a few days, maybe days. β
"None of what you're saying is a problem." I waved my hand, "None of the robbers, cleaning up the homeless are threats." Sleeping in the open is even less of a problem. It's a city, and it's better than some of the places I've experienced before. I'm worried about how to pretend to be like, and then there's the language. β
Hearing me say this, D also lowered his head and thought about it, "This is indeed a problem. You're not a local, so you do have some problems pretending. And it's not a slum, so it's a bit strange for a homeless man or drunk to wander around during the day. β
"So what to do?" I asked.
D waved his hand and said, "Let me think." But what you're talking about is a solution. I really didn't care about the people who were lying on the benches and smelled of alcohol. After saying that, he stopped, continued to pick up his mobile phone, looked at the message he had just received, and after thinking for a moment after replying to the message, he said, "It will take about two to three days for the implementation of my plan here." You'd better get out of this hotel after I leave here. After that, you'd better be a normal tourist or passerby during the day, and only at night when you put on the makeup of a homeless or drunk and fall asleep on the bench. β
"You mean I'm going to dress up as a tourist during the day and keep walking around here." I asked.
"Yes. That's it. D thought for a moment and then said, "You don't have to go there as often for a short time after I'm gone. But in two days you'll have to look there more. Because I guess Murphy Sr. will probably react in two days. β
I nodded, "What exactly should I do?" I mean, I'm not good at doing that. What should I do? What to look out for? β
Instead of answering immediately, D opened the two bags we had brought and rummaged through them. After inspecting the contents, D spoke, "There are a few sets of clothes in here. Wigs, mustaches, glasses for disguise. It might be enough for you to pretend to be a tourist. These clothes have to be changed every day and cannot be reused. Two to three days, that should be enough. As he spoke, he pointed to the wig and beard, "I'll teach you how to use these in a moment, it's simple, but I don't recommend using it." This has to be done with caution, especially the hair, which many people have wigs that can be seen from a long distance. It's the same with you, anyone can put it on your head, but it's a little hard to keep people from seeing. After saying that, D glanced around and looked at the shoes on my feet, "And shoes." I'll go out and buy you two more pairs in a moment. Again, don't wear it continuously. Remember that you're a tourist during the day, so that even if you don't speak the local language, no one will be surprised as long as you're a tourist. And at night, you'll have to find a safe place to change your clothes and dress up. Now it looks like I'm going to have to get you a homeless outfit. As he spoke, he took out another wig cover and looked at it in his hand, "This processing should be usable." β
"Processing? How is it processed? I asked.
"It's dirty, it's messy." D looked at me as he spoke, "Then you can have another bottle of wine in your hand." Remember to pour some over your body and try to make yourself taste good. You should understand what it tastes like. β
"Okay. And then what? I continued, "Do I watch it once during the day and stay by the river at night, keeping an eye on it?" Wouldn't that be a problem, what if those two old guys were to act during the day? β
"It's hard to say." D shook his head, "But from what I've seen of this Mr. Ullman. This old guy is not a man who likes to go out during the day. He looked at me and said, "When he was in the town before, it was night when he appeared, right?" β
"Yes." I thought about what I had seen on the surveillance below the hotel, "It's night. β
"You fought him in Zurich at night as well. When I was in England before, the one named Smalling, he seemed to say that the joints between them mostly happened at night. And just before that, he left Berlin Station at night, right? I rushed here overnight after drinking too much. D said and thought for a moment, "So I don't think this old gentleman is a person who likes to move around during the day, but prefers to be at night." β
"Isn't that far-fetched by your analysis?" I looked at him and said, "Even if it was, it was mostly for work." And now it's private time, isn't he on vacation? And before in Zurich, the time point was set by 17 rounds. If the seventeenth round is set for the morning, won't he come? β
Hearing me say this, D waved his hand and said, "You may be right. But that's what my feelings tell me. Maybe I'm someone like him. In fact, I also like the evening a lot of times, as if it gives me more security. β
"Let's talk about daytime. What should I pay attention to during the day? I asked.
What a terrible game the German team playedγγγγγγγ Did you get old bacon on the rooftop?
