Chapter 21: The Mysterious Note

At 8 a.m. the next morning, the trio left the hotel. I started looking for it to the south, and after a few streets, Ma Jianguo bought a camera, and snatched it with Shasha, I wanted to shoot, Ma Jianguo bought another one and hung it on his chest, this time it was like a family of three traveling. One morning, I walked an unknown number of streets, but found nothing. Sha Sha vigorously patted the streets, shops, hugs, buses, especially the crowds, she shot hard; The elderly, children, men and women are all included in the camera, which is completely different from the volcanic eruptions after the collision of the earth stars taken by her ancestors 65 million years ago, the barren primeval forests, grasslands, frightened birds and beasts, dinosaurs and other reptiles, if you put these pictures together, as if the late Cretaceous period of ancient times was just yesterday, so the rustling is full of interest.

But Ma Jianguo was not so relaxed, as soon as he went out, he felt that someone was following, he deliberately turned around several times and took pictures with the camera, but he didn't find it, according to Ma Jianguo, an experienced undercover agent can't find it, this tracking skill is amazing, who will it be?

Until they boarded the ferry to Steton Island, the southernmost district of New York, the three of them looked out over the stern railing, under the sun, the vast Atlantic Ocean, the breeze gently pushed up rows of long waves, seagulls flew in flocks, and the direction of Steton Island, light mist, and the scenery was charming.

At this time, a person came to the stern of the boat and quietly stuffed a note into the Shasha pocket, Ma Jianguo's eyes swept it, he was on the other side of the railing, leaving a distance, so that it was convenient to observe the surroundings of Shasha, and the man pretended to leave without incident.

To chase, or not to chase, what if to catch up, the key is the note, he approached behind Shasha, and whispered:

"You've got something in your back pocket."

"I know."

Ma Jianguo was shocked, knowing that he pretended not to know, why.

Sasha said as if she knew him:

"He knew he couldn't run away, and on the boat, he was just delivering letters."

Wang Jinfen also noticed that there was a situation, and when she saw the two of them whispering, she didn't come over, so as not to be found out that something was wrong, she was really old.

Take a look at the note, Ma Jianguo said in his heart. Sha Sha said as if wondering:

"On the boat, I can't fly back after seeing me."

Ma Jianguo is angry, but think about it, what if he saw it on the boat, he still had a bit of a heroic idea of saving the beauty, to protect the two women, and not let them have an accident, but as soon as something happened, the calmness of the two people really surprised him, he was a little heroic and useless, he lost this round, he has been discovered, but he is a person who can afford to let go, and returned to the boat fence over there.

Although he lost this round, it also confirmed his judgment and someone followed.

The note showed a little in the back of the rustling trouser pocket, did the rustle really not find that someone was following, if so, the rustle was really unfathomable, I don't know what the note was written about, the ferry whistled a long way, interrupting his thoughts, Steten Island arrived.

With the tourists, they disembarked.

In the taxi, the note had been in the back trouser pocket of the rustle, until an open-air coffee shop by the sea, sat under the parasol, ordered milk, coffee, cake, and waiter left, and Shasha took out the note, didn't look at it, and handed it to Ma Jianguo with a smile.

I'm angry with me, I don't look at it, I know that I'm anxious, and it looks like I'm alone, but it's not good if I don't pick it up, this little fairy is a little naughty, Wang Jinfen don't learn from her.

The note is a small advertisement for the scenery of Steten Island, fold the card, open it and see: 'North of the Bronx Overpass', the person who wrote the note seems to be angry with him, the writing is not clear, in fact, the note, in order to reach the hands of others, it is useless, only the person concerned understands.

North of the Bronx overpass, it's not a street, but a direction, and he quickly took out his phone to open the map.

The two women, wearing sunhats and sunglasses, ate cakes, drank coffee, and enjoyed the sea view by themselves, and let him do his own work like a fool, and he would tell us anyway.

He immediately found a large area north of the overpass, and there were abandoned factories and warehouses in the streets and streets, all the way to the suburbs, where the minority population was predominant, and the crime rate was known all over the world, and he had been to the case, and he knew it very well, how could it be there, could it be a trap, lead them there, and have to pass through the neighborhood where many people don't go, but anyway, the scope has narrowed.

He looked at the beautiful scenery of the Atlantic Ocean, remembered the first time he came to New York to solve a case, asked some questions in a bar, was beaten up in a warehouse, was rescued by the police and was dying, and when he came back, he reflected on his behavior and practiced all kinds of boxing skills.

This time for safety reasons, he decided to let the two women stay in the hotel and go first, but how to tell them, just say it, these two women seem to be united, they definitely don't agree, look at what they say, there are many people, maybe they didn't expect it to be possible, this is Ma Jianguo's advantage, looking at the back of the two women looking at the Atlantic Ocean and saying:

"Jinfen, Shasha,"

He said as he tried to find something to eat.

Sha Sha turned around and saw his look of looking for something and said:

"I've eaten them all."

"Let's have some carcaffe, then,"

"I've drunk them all."

He looked at Shasha, no wonder An Yin and the two children wanted to grab something to eat with her.

"Look what I'm doing, if you don't eat, I'll eat them all," said Sasha; "You can swipe the card again."

She beckoned gracefully.

The waiter came over with a smile on his face.

"One as it is."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but immediately bowed gracefully, took the menu and left, and brought one as it was in a moment; A large cake with a double layer of cream, four cups of carcoffe, and four cups of milk.

Ma Jianguo immediately checked out, eating like this will attract attention, fortunately he doesn't drink, if he gets drunk, he may fly around.

"I've seen it," Ma Jianguo said as the waiter left; "There's no need to worry about being wiretapped."

"Write something." Wang Jinfen asked.

"North of the Bronx overpass."

"In the opposite direction?"

"Yes, it should be a certain street there, the security there is not good, it is likely to be a trap, I want to go first, you stay in a hotel or go to a crowded attraction."

"It can't be a trap," Ms. Wang said. "Since we are so familiar with us, no matter where we are, we can set up traps, besides, Shasha doesn't go, there is a feeling of distrusting the other party, and it will be troublesome to start over, and there are notes for Shasha, maybe they only recognize Shasha, maybe something can only be opened by Shasha, or taken away."

Ma Jianguo thought quickly for a moment and said:

"This speculation makes sense, maybe it's something, only things can be put away for a long time, and this thing can only be opened or taken away, if so, the other party may be an enemy, if it is their own people, they have already happily greeted it, even if it is their own people, it is possible to avoid something, why is it so mysterious, since it is an enemy, they are bound to get such a thing, and they don't know how many years, ten years, twenty years, hundreds of millions of years, maybe longer," Ma Jianguo thought about it again and said; "It may be something, Shasha must go, Jinfen can't be left alone, then the three of them will go together, if Shasha is something, it can't be opened there, if it is not opened, we will be safe, as soon as it is opened, the secret will be revealed, we will have no need to exist, we will not let us leave alive, we must be prepared."

"If you want to kill people," Wang Jinfen couldn't help but shudder.

"Listen to Daddy," Sasha said.

"So, Jinfen, have you learned self-defense before?"

"No, just calisthenics."

"Calisthenics!"

"Yes, people used to want to be models, and they also participated in the Miss Asia competition."

"Oh--, Ma Jianguo looked up and down."

"Look, it's not qualified."

"Enough, enough," he said, looking like he had coped with the situation.

Wang Jinfen glared at him.

Early the next morning, according to the pre-arrangement, they "hit" the overpass, got out of the car, discerned the direction, and walked north.

I searched for several streets, but I couldn't find them, and I gradually got farther and farther away, and I was close to the suburbs, and there were no people on the road, and some people in some scattered old residential areas were playing basketball in overgrown open spaces, and some were meeting on street corners and whispering, as if they were doing that kind of business.

Under the vigilant eyes of those people, the three of them walked into a back street, a row of very old houses, and at the door of No. 21 sat an old woman with a dark complexion, and when she saw the three of them, she immediately went back to the house, unlike the others staring.

"Found it," Ma Jianguo whispered; "Let's go over."

Ma Jianguo took the lead, and the two followed.

Walk there.

The door was open.

"She's inviting us in," Mr. Ma whispered; "Otherwise, the door will close."

The three of them walked through the door.

The room is very large, it seems that there are many rooms, there are a few children sitting in the living room watching TV, the old woman stands next to the living room, points to a room across the aisle, Ma Jianguo nodded, and the three of them entered.

It was a single bedroom, very large, with an iron bed, a lamp, a telephone, the curtains were lowered, and the old woman who followed in pointed to a large dark red wardrobe by the window, turned to go out, and closed the door.

The people of country M are big in everything, big houses, big refrigerators, and bigger wardrobes.

Such a big wardrobe, two meters high, four doors, dark red, things in it? Ma Jianguo glanced back.

Shasha nodded and said:

"It's it."

There is nothing special about this wardrobe, but Ma Jianguo and Wang Jinfen are very nervous, what could it be, Ma Jianguo glanced at it again, and nodded again.

Ma Jianguo thought to himself, since Shasha nodded, there would definitely be no danger, so he went over to open the door, his hand was a little shaky, this is an alien thing.

As soon as the door opened, it was empty, there was nothing, the planks were very thin, and in terms of volume, it didn't look like there was a mezzanine, but he still knocked it up and down gently, and there was still no mezzanine.

Seeing Ma Jianguo's serious look, Sha Sha chuckled, Ma Jianguo and Wang Jinfen were startled, and laughter suddenly sounded in the quiet room, which was naturally scary.

"Dad," Sasha said with a smile; "I'll do it anyway."

This fairy is playing tricks on me, and my father screams quite naturally.

Rustling over, he closed the four doors, put his hands on the doors, and wiped them to the sides.

The big cabinet disappeared immediately, and Ma Jianguo and Wang Jinfen were so frightened that they almost screamed.

The large cabinet was shrunk into a small thin box, suspended there, above the rustling hand, to be exact.

The two of them were stunned, it turned out to be like this, they had to rustle, and besides, who would steal an old big wardrobe.

Looking up again, the big cabinet was still there, but the small box was in Shasha's hand, the two of them widened their eyes, and then they were really convinced, the gap with aliens is not a little bit, this thing, this scheming.

Sha Sha smiled and put this thing in Wang Jinfen's hand and said:

"Mom keeps me, don't worry."

Wang Jinfen took it in his hand and said:

"Why don't you keep it?"

"It's the same."

Wang Jinfen put it in the bag a little frightened, and she was the only one of the three who brought a small satchel.

"Let's go, someone is coming," Mr. Ma said.

The three of them came out of the room, the old woman smiled and watched TV with the children, and the three of them didn't scratch her, and walked out of No. 21 directly.

There was no one on the street at the entrance, but there were a few people at the entrance of the alley a little farther away. Because it was summer, those people were wearing vests, their thick arms were covered with tattoos, and they were clapping basketballs, and the three of them turned around, and there was also a group of people at the entrance of the alley.

They were barricaded in this small alley, flanked by dilapidated houses.

What to do.

The two women looked at Ma Jianguo.
