Chapter XXXVII. Tariq the Informant (2) Contact
Although Ku Sailf is a large town with a population of nearly 10,000 here, for these 'snow wolves' who are accustomed to the population density of the country, Ku Sailf is at best a slightly larger village, and the town's limited streets and those disorderly, loosely distributed houses in a valley and plain can almost let them know the situation inside, but even so, not a few people dare not be careless, hiding between a mess of rocks on the slope of the hill outside the town, carefully and carefully taking care of the situation inside. The town of Selph checked it out from start to finish.
"No, let's go down, with my keen eyes, the town is quite peaceful, although the town can sometimes see one or two vehicles as armed men driving in and out, but those people on the street did not deliberately dodge, the expression is quite natural, proving that this town is not a place where conflicts often occur, it is now past noon, it is the time for people to rest, we just went in."
What Lezi said was also agreed:
"You're right, I also think this town is relatively safe, the 'Constellation' inn that Cohen said should be on the main street in the town, Da Lei, have you chosen a good location?"
"I've chosen a few points, so it's not, I suggest that we walk through the street first, take a rough look at the detailed departments of the town, and by the way, find the location of the inn you mentioned, and also use this to see if we can get the attention of the locals."
"I agree, go down now, Renhe, cross the street at a normal speed, everyone be vigilant and ready to fight at any time."
After several people looked at each other and confirmed each other, the pickup truck rushed out of its evasive position with a 'whir' at the foot of the Quren River, and drove towards the small town of Ku Self, not far from the bottom of the mountain.
Everything was normal, a few people who had changed into the local wide robes and heavy headscarves wrapped around their heads drove through the town without attracting much attention from the pedestrians on the road, and after driving more than half a block, a few people saw the so-called 'Constellation' inn, except for the dilapidated three-story building that could be regarded as a decent house, the houses built next to it could only be regarded as temporary shacks.
"I basically saw it clearly, and I started to contact the action."
When the pickup truck entered the town again, Da Lei jumped out of the car near a ruin that had already collapsed, and then quickly slipped into the ruins, Renhe continued to drive towards the town, and when he passed an intersection, he happened to pass by Tariq who came out of it, but it was not that a few people didn't care, but drove straight to the destination, the inn not far away.
When there was still some distance from the inn, Qu Renhe parked the car on the street diagonally opposite the inn, the three of them did not rush to get out of the car, sitting in the car to observe the movement outside, but it was obvious that the residents here were numb to everything around them, there were two women who were almost wrapped from head to toe in that kind of trademark black burqa when they passed by the car, they barely looked at it and hurried by, and several young men did notice them, but the faces of the same people did not react.
"Renhe, you stay in the car, I'll go over with Lezi."
"Okay, be careful, go and come back quickly, this place is not a place to stay for a long time."
"Know, Da Lei, we're out."
Yifei said that he lifted the sand towel around his neck above the bridge of his nose to cover most of his face, checked his sidearms, and then walked down from both sides of the pickup truck with Lezi, and the two looked left and right, and then walked quickly across the street to the front of the stall opposite, giving the impression that these two people wanted to pick things here.
Behind the stall sat a fat woman in the shadows, also in a black robe, and sat there quietly watching them, without getting up to greet them, and slowly approaching the door of the inn while looking at the pleasure.
"What are you looking for?"
A teenage boy suddenly poked his head out from behind the stall, and he looked up at Yifei and Lezi in front of him with blank eyes.
It was not that when he and Lezi were working in Israel, they had been exposed to Arabic and could communicate with the locals at that time, but they had almost forgotten it for a few years, but the two still understood what the child was asking, and they did not try to search for that memory from the depths of their minds.
"Excuse me, I want to know if there is an elder named Vanu living here."
Yi Fei even said with a gesture, and at the same time pointed to the entrance of the 'Constellation' inn, the child looked at Yi Fei with a blank face, and then looked at the fun around Yi Fei, and shook his head slightly, obviously he didn't understand what the two people in front of him were saying, but the child had realized that these two people were different.
"Is there a ...... living here?"
It's not to slow down the speed of speech again and repeat his own question, but halfway through the conversation, Da Lei's warning sound came from the earphones:
"No, someone is approaching behind you, Renhe, in the direction of seven o'clock."
Da Lei's warning made Yifei a few people nervous, although they were still supporting the little boy, but Yifei's attention had turned to the footsteps behind him that were getting closer and closer.
The footsteps stopped behind him, nor did he slowly turn his head and look at Tariq in front of him.
The man in front of him looked to be in his forties, with thick, messy curly hair, a pair of alert eyes under heavy eyebrows, a lion nose, a thick beard on his lips, a whipped leather jacket on his upper body, a pair of worn jeans, and a pair of dusty cowboy boots under his feet.
"What are you looking for? Tell me, go back to the house. ”
In just a few seconds, Tariq knew what he knew, and he quickly looked around, asking questions as he walked the little boy away.
It was not that he had already guessed the identity of the other party at this time, but he still changed to English according to the original idea and continued:
"Oh, I wonder if there's an elder named Vanu who lives here, and I'm here for him."
"Elder Vanu left here a month ago, and you're late."
Tariq said as he turned sideways to the other side of the two of them, and walked towards the house with his things in hand.
"Really? Unfortunately, a man named Hawke asked me to come here to find Elder Vanu, and Mr. Hawke asked us to help him retrieve his passport stored with Elder Vanu, and it looked like we were going to return empty-handed. ”
It wasn't that he said that, but he didn't look like he was leaving, but stared at Tariq's back as he walked into the doorway of the inn.
