Chapter Twenty-Six: The Shadow of Fourier Looms
On Shitang Street in the East Fourth District, Fourier is tracking his target.
Dressed in a brown trench coat and a fisherman's hat, he walked fifty meters away and was not far from a man wearing a peaked cap. From time to time, the man pressed the brim of his hat into the crowd, and he was of medium stature, easily blending into the crowd and disappearing. Fourier walked very chicly, as if he had come to shop, and he couldn't tell that he was following at all, his steps were very even, but his speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, precisely controlling the distance between the two.
This person is the prey he and Tang Yin Smith locked after a few days of investigation, in the truck incident three months ago, a member of the guest list of the "Secret Garden" at that time, had entered the 'Tears' headquarters building two days before the incident, but was photographed by the surveillance probe, and was selected by Zeng Chen as the most suspicious person.
The sky suddenly changed and it rained heavily, and Fourier picked up a black umbrella, but the dense raindrops still blurred his vision, and he had to follow more closely in order not to lose his target.
The man in the cap didn't bring an umbrella, and as soon as it rained, he immediately quickened his pace, but turning left and right and keeping detouring didn't look like he was looking for a place to hide from the rain. He seemed to notice someone following him behind him.
Passing by an alleyway, the man jerked back, and Fourier calmly put his hands in his pockets and walked forward with the crowd as if nothing had happened.
There were a lot of people on the street, many of them with umbrellas, and even if they had found someone following, Fourier didn't think that the other party would find out.
After scanning his gaze, the man in the peaked cap did not find a suspicious person, and turned into the alley on the side.
Fourier reached out and lifted his hat, touched his cheek again, hesitated for a moment, and continued to follow.
Passing by the alleyway, Fashion made a casual glance inward, and Fourier stared, the man in the cap was gone, and this was a dead end.
At the same time, as if a sharp blade had stabbed him in the back, Fourier's hair stood on end, and the muscles of his body tensed for a moment, but he only paused for a moment, and then calmly took a step and continued to move forward.
"Targeted. Fourier leisurely looked left and right, and from time to time he stopped to look at the clothes in the shop window beside him, but he didn't stop thinking for a moment, "I have to find a way to get out." ”
He tried to find out who was following him in the reflection of the window, but there were people coming and going behind him, and no one stopped to find it.
"It's a veteran. Fourier turned the umbrella in his hand slightly, his thoughts were racing but his face was still unwavering, "And he is a clever killer, only a murderer will have that kind of knife-like gaze, what to do." ”
Hundreds of meters away, on the roof of a commercial building, there were two people, a man and a woman, the man was wearing a black leather jacket and a velvet hat, a mask on his face, and a dark green sniper in his hand, and the back of Fourier's head was locked in the scope. The woman was dressed in the same attire, but with a light gray scarf around her neck and no gun in her hand.
"Ah-" The woman yawned and said, "Zhang Qi, are you sure about such a heavy rain?"
"Rest assured. Zhang Qi smiled confidently, and put his index finger on the trigger, "This is the latest product of the Black and Gold Alliance, the stability is unparalleled, the trajectory almost does not fall within a kilometer, and with my sniper skills, he will definitely not be able to escape." ”
"I don't know where this guy came from, why did he target Shen Busi?"
"We have offended so many people, is it strange that one or two people come to seek revenge? Liu Xia, it's been so long since you joined 'Dragon', and you still don't understand this reason?" Zhang Qi said as he fine-tuned the shooting angle.
"Don't say it, don't say it, hurry up, don't grind, I'm still in a hurry to see Charlie's concert at six o'clock. Liu Xia glanced at her watch, "It's almost five o'clock." ”
"What's so nice about that guy with all the bells and whistles? Sniping is an art, and every shot has to be polished. Zhang Qi said, pulling the trigger.
The muzzle of the gun erupted with blazing flames, and the alloy warhead pierced through countless raindrops, drawing an almost straight line in the air, heading straight for the target.
"Sniper!" The moment the bullet came out of the chamber, Fourier's mind moved slightly, and he stumbled with his left foot and his right foot deliberately, narrowly avoiding the sniper. The bullet "pounced" into the crevice of the stone road.
Hearing the strange sound, passers-by around stopped to watch, but the noisy hawking of the shops on the side covered up the gunshots, and no one noticed anything unusual for a while.
"Huh?" Zhang Qi, who had witnessed all this through the scope, frowned, and immediately prepared to shoot again.
"Missed?" Liu Xia covered her mouth and snickered, "You also said that you are the strongest sniper in the world, and next time you brag about it, there must be a limit." ”
"Hmph!" Zhang Qi snorted coldly, his hands kept moving, and he fired three shots in a blink of an eye.
Three bullets were fired at the back of his head at several times the speed of sound.
"I can't hide from it. Fourier thought to himself, he bit his lip lightly, and the magic power in his body surged, and quietly transferred all three bullets to the palm of his hand.
The warhead still has residual warmth, and the sniper is not far from here.
Three steps and two steps, Fourier immediately turned into the alley.
The target was lost, and Zhang Qi put away the dark green sniper in a huff.
"Didn't hit four shots?" Liu Xia covered her mouth in surprise and said, but there was a hint of joy in her big eyes under Xinyue's eyebrows, "Fortunately, I'm the only one here, otherwise wouldn't your reputation as the 'Grim Reaper of another dimension' be smashed?"
Zhang Qi put the gun into a black guitar case, then carried it on his shoulder, and said to Liu Xia: "Hurry up and inform Sister Ye Xin that the mission has failed." ”
"Hehe, I can already imagine Sister Ye Xin's anger. Liu Xia chuckled, took out her mobile phone from her leather pocket and clicked, "Okay, let's withdraw." It's all your fault, the whole group will have to stay at the base for the next few days, and I won't be able to watch the concert. After speaking, she glanced at Zhang Qi half-mockingly and half-complainingly.
Zhang Qi took off his mask, revealing a young but weathered face, he looked only in his early twenties, but he had a stubble and an inch-long scar on his nose. Listening to Liu Xia's words, he touched his head and made a silly smile that was extremely inconsistent with his cold appearance.
"I can't see that there is a next one! This time it was indeed my mistake, the next two, no, the tickets for the three games are all wrapped up in me!" Zhang Qi patted his chest and said.
"You can't go back on what you said. ”
"No repentance, no repentance. ”
On the other side, Fourier held an umbrella in his left hand and held three bullets in his right hand hidden in his coat pocket, and his feet flew quickly and hurriedly through the crowd.
"Tracking failed and must be returned immediately. That's what he thought.
But just now, at the moment of using the magic, Fourier felt another gaze on his back.
If the sniper's gaze is like a sharp knife that glows coldly, then this guy's eyes are like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, and the latter is even more dangerous in comparison.
"I can't go back," thought Fourier, wiping the rain from the tip of his nose and secretly making up his mind, "I can't go back until I get rid of the track." ”
Walking along the commercial street, he soon came to a square where several roads intersected, and the huge electronic screen on the commercial building played advertisements for talent shows, as if announcing the concert arrangements of the rookie male singer Charlie. Fourier looked up, the sky was gray, and the rain was falling on his face, wetting his golden hair, and the strands of hair stuck to his face, refreshing and cool. As soon as he walked here, the poisonous snake-like gaze disappeared without a trace, and the tracking cycle of the praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch that occurred in less than half an hour finally came to an end, and Fourier couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Today is not without gains, at least it can be confirmed that the man wearing the cap must have something to do with 'Tears', and there is a good sniper in the organization behind him. Later, the mysterious person who set his sights on him did not know if it had anything to do with them, and intuitively Fourier thought that he should belong to another organization.
"Oops!" Fourier, who walked forward with his head bowed in contemplation, collided with a lady who was on the phone, and the umbrella in his hand fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Fourier said sorry again and again, bending down to pick up the umbrella that had rolled to the side, thinking too much about it to not notice that there was someone in front of him.
"You look good when you walk, really, my clothes, this bag, and these shoes are all newly bought, and they are very expensive!" the lady complained angrily, and when she looked up, she immediately changed her face, covered her mouth and whispered to herself, "Wow...... It's so handsome. ”
"I'm sorry, I just got distracted, I'm so sorry. Fourier took off his bucket hat, bowed to her, and then straightened up and brushed aside his wet blonde bangs with a shy smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. The lady waved her hand and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, someone accidentally bumped me, wait for me, I'll be there soon." ”
Looking at her departing back, Fourier smiled lightly and put his hat back on, intending to return to the safe house.
With a frown, he glanced back and saw that the woman had already walked ten meters away, chatting with the person on the other end of the phone as she walked.
After a moment's thought, Fourier decided to carefully inspect the part where he had just been in physical contact with the other party to see if there were any bugging devices or trackers or anything for the sake of safety.
Nothing was found.
On the right side of the street, a thin man with glasses and a blue jacket sat in a window seat in a coffee shop and made a phone call, his eyes fixed on Fourier's departing figure, revealing a smug smile: "He didn't find out, the plan succeeded." ”
"I'll do things, don't worry, I'll leave it to you now. On the other end of the phone, it was the lady who had just collided with Fourier, she stretched out her right index finger and leaned on her cherry-colored lips, closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, and whispered, "I'm waiting for good news." ”
