53. Close surveillance
Cadillac stopped in front of the Red House's Western restaurant, and Smith took the Countess by the hand and stepped into the Western restaurant. Ling Yunpeng also entered, and sat down at a table away from them.
Ling Yunpeng snapped his fingers, and the waiter came over: "Sir, what do you want to order?" ”
The waiter handed the menu to Ling Yunpeng, who glanced at it: "A steak and a borscht." ”
"How cooked should the steak be, sir?"
"Medium-rare."
Ling Yunpeng casually took a pictorial and flipped through it, but stared at the actions of the Countess and Smith with his spare eyes.
The Countess seemed to be in a good mood and laughed with Smith, who ordered a bottle of Bordeaux wine and toasted the Countess frequently.
After a while, a dazzling array of dishes were piled up in front of the two, and the countess was elegantly drinking wine and eating Western food. Ling Yunpeng also observed the two while eating steak.
After more than an hour, the two men got up and left the Red House after their meal, and then they drove to the Great Bright Cinema, where Smith bought two movie tickets and then smiled and took the Countess's arm into the theater.
Ling Yunpeng also hurriedly got off the bus and came to the ticket office: "Hello, may I ask how many rows and seats of movie tickets did the gentleman buy just now?" I was his secretary and he asked me to give him the papers. ”
"It's a second-floor box with 1 row and 2 seats."
"Do you have movie tickets for 2 rows of 5 seats in the box on the second floor?"
"I'll take a look, yes."
"Please give me a two-row five-seater."
"Okay."
Ling Yunpeng paid the money and entered the theater with the movie ticket, the movie just started, it was pitch black inside, Ling Yunpeng found 2 rows of 5 seats under the guidance of the theater staff, this position is just on the right rear side of the countess's box, and the situation in the box can be seen clearly.
Today's release is Chaplin's "The Great Dictator", Chaplin's exaggerated expressions and movements caused the audience to laugh, and the countess couldn't help but cover her mouth with a fan and laughed non-stop, Smith looked at the countess's smiling face and put his hand on the countess's shoulder, the countess did not refuse, but leaned her head on Smith's shoulder. Smith's hand slid down to the Countess's waist, and the Countess looked up at Smith and shook Smith's hand obediently.
"It seems that the relationship is heating up quickly." Ling Yunpeng sat in the back row and knew some of the small movements of the two at a glance.
The movie ended, Smith left the Daguang Cinema with the countess in his arms, and then the two got on Cadillac, drove away from Nanjing Road, and drove towards Anhesi Road.
Cadillac stopped in front of the Countess's small bungalow, Smith helped the Countess get out of the car, Smith said something to the Countess at the door, the Countess smiled, and then Smith helped the Countess upstairs.
Ling Yunpeng hurriedly parked the Chevrolet car in the small alley, and then quickly walked into No. 7 Anhesi Road, took three steps and two steps upstairs, pushed the door and saw that Qin Shouyi and Fu Xinghan had already returned, Ling Yunpeng didn't have time to reprimand them, and came directly to the window, Ah Hui was sitting there listlessly looking at the opposite side.
Ling Yunpeng picked up the binoculars and looked at the countess's bedroom while asking Ah Hui, "Is there any movement between the maid and the bodyguard today?" ”
"The maid went out at about four o'clock in the afternoon with a few mink coats, and came back half an hour later. The bodyguard had gone to slip past the dog about half past five in the afternoon, and he had gone out after the maid had returned, and it had taken about twenty minutes. The two have never left since. ”
"Very well, Ah Hui, you have been observing very carefully today. You go and rest for a while, and let me do the stalking. ”
"Boss, let me do this job."
Fu Xinghan walked in front of Ling Yunpeng, as soon as he came back, he knew from Ah Hui's mouth that Ling Yunpeng was very angry with him for leaving without permission, and Ling Yunpeng didn't pay attention to him and Qin Shouyi as soon as he came back just now, and felt that he had indeed done something wrong, so he hurried to make up for it now.
"No, you can go and stay there." Ling Yunpeng said coldly.
"Boss, I just want to take Nezha out to familiarize myself with the streets of Shanghai. I know you're worried about me going out and being recognized, but I'm very careful, I put on your top hat and went out with the brim pulled down so that no one could see me in the rickshaw. Fu Xinghan was very uncomfortable when he saw Ling Yunpeng treating him coldly, and hurriedly explained.
"Boss, I know it's my fault, I shouldn't let the drama idiot go out with me, punish me if you want to." Qin Shouyi lowered his head and rubbed his hands like a child who had made a mistake.
"I don't have time to talk to you about this now, you two go back to the house and reflect on it." Ling Yunpeng threw a cold glance at Qin Shouyi and Fu Xinghan. The two of them understood the word stern from Ling Yunpeng's eyes.
Ling Yunpeng found that the Countess and Smith were still drinking red wine in the dining room just now, but they had moved to the bedroom at this time. Anna came up with a glass of milk. The Countess said something to Anna, and Anna put down the milk and went to the bathroom, presumably to put in the bath water.
After a while, Anna walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs, the countess went to the bathroom to take a bath, and Smith was left upstairs, and the next scene made Ling Yunpeng hold his breath, staring at it without blinking.
I saw that Smith immediately turned around and locked the door, took out a pair of white gloves from his trouser pocket and put them on, and began to rummage through the cabinets to search, he first opened the bookcase, rummaged through the books one by one, to see if the treasure map was sandwiched in a certain book, but after looking for a long time, he found nothing, and then he opened the drawer of the countess's dressing table, carefully searched inside and out, and there was nothing, he looked around the bedroom, and found that there was a painting of Monet's "Water Lilies" on the opposite side of the bed, so he walked over and touched it, and pulled the frame, Sure enough, the frame was opened, and inside was a safe, Smith showed a look of surprise on his face, he just reached out to touch the safe, but heard the sound of the door opening in the bathroom, and quickly stopped the movement of his hand, put the oil painting back in place, and immediately took off the white gloves on his hands and stuffed them into his trouser pockets. Then he picked up the book "Anna Karenina" on the bed and pretended to flip through it.
The Countess looked at Smith in some surprise and said something, Smith shrugged his shoulders and held the book up, then put the book down, picked up the milk, and handed it to the Countess, who smiled and looked up and drank the milk, and Smith hugged the Countess and kissed her, and then the lights went out......
