Experience
The morning breeze mixed with the humid air greeted us, and the iron loosened the collar of the coat, allowing the morning breeze to blow through the sides of the neck, using this cold feeling to wake up the tired brain after a sleepless night.
In retrospect, the answer I gave when I left last night was actually a bit redundant. For such a person who meets in the water, he doesn't need to tell his name, and leaving in silence is the most correct choice. But perhaps it was the continuous work that made his judgment slightly skewed, or perhaps it was the slackening of his mind after confirming that the other party had nothing to do with the matter, and at that moment, he answered the girl's question in a mysterious way.
"I don't have enough concentration, and I still need to continue cultivating." The iron man muttered to himself.
But just say it, he thought. "Iron Block" is not his real name, at most it is just a nickname, which means nothing to the layman. He wouldn't be in the city for long, and he was unlikely to come back in the future, and he probably wouldn't see the girl again. After discovering that his badge was stolen by the other party, he once suspected that this girl had something to do with this mission, and even had the idea of killing the other party, but fortunately he chose a cautious approach at the last moment and did not follow that impulsive decision.
Exhaustion and nervousness can sometimes lead to hasty judgments, and the iron has learned that from this.
From the first second he got off the plane, he had been working continuously for more than twenty-four hours. The previous red-eye flight was torture for ordinary people, but for him it was the most precious rest time before the war, because after that, he rushed to various places to collect intelligence, tested each other with the informants hidden in the city, and observed those suspicious objects one by one, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath along the way, let alone sit down and rest. The part of the road out of the alley after seeing the girl turned out to be the most relaxed ten minutes of his spirit in this day and night.
After returning to the street, his spirit was tensed again, and he returned to the state of his mission.
Iron Block's mission this time is to go to the city called "McCaw" to find a host who has been pronounced dead in the past. The host's name is Hong Han, who died in a fire in a gambling game a few years ago, and when he found his body, it was charred and unrecognizable. However, a recent cable newspaper revealed that he was actually hiding his surname and lurking in McCaw under another identity, avoiding Xifeng's eyes and ears and starting his new life.
According to Xifeng's rules, as a host for one day, he will be a host for life, and no one can escape from this barrier. This is a highly dangerous profession, although the people who can become the host are some extraordinary and strange people, but in the face of complex and changeable situations, only a very few people can retire peacefully in this position, and most of them will eventually end up in death. Even those who retired peacefully will spend the rest of their lives under Xifeng's watchful eye - after all, they know too much.
In this case, if Hong Han really bypassed Xifeng's monitoring and regained his freedom in this way, after the news spread, some hosts would definitely be confused and start imitating. What's more, if this betrayer is allowed to continue to live in peace, it will mean that Xifeng is powerless in this regard, and it will cause devastating damage to the authority of the entire host system.
"If the intelligence is true, then we must punish him at all costs and according to the rules."
This is the instruction of the "old yellow calendar" that ranks first in active service before departure. Of course, as a forty-first ranked newcomer, he is only responsible for the reconnaissance part of this series of missions. In the next few days, he first had to confirm the authenticity of the information, and then he had to set out to find out the identity that Hong Han was using now, and obtain as much information as possible about the other party. After he returns to Xifeng, the "Old Yellow Calendar" who leads the task will judge the difficulty of the sanctions based on this information, and send a group of high-ranking hosts to complete the follow-up work.
However, despite the fact that it was only reconnaissance, the danger factor of this mission was not low. When he was still the host, Hong Han already had the strength to be close to the top ten, and was even cultivated as the core of the future for a time, but he stopped moving forward because of a slight lack of mentality. In terms of strength and practical experience, he is much stronger than the new host of Tie Block. It is impossible for Xifeng, who was once the host, to be unguarded against all kinds of methods of Xifeng, and maybe he will set up traps in advance, just waiting for the pursuers to step into it.
Luckily, so far, everything has gone smoothly with the iron. Less than two hours after getting off the plane, he had already made contact with the informant who provided the information and got some clues about Hong Han. Based on this limited information, he speculated that the other party might be running a casino and hotel behind the scenes, and then immediately searched for information about casinos and hotels in McCaw, and selected a few that were more suspicious in time. In the evening, he incarnated as a young rich businessman from out of town, infiltrated the casino as an ordinary gambler, and finally found several clues in the last casino that were highly consistent with the intelligence.
After that, the iron block used his tricks to win several games in a row, stirring up a small wave in the casino. After alerting the casino's management room and successfully luring out the director, he managed to put a tiny tracker on him and use the opportunity of his return to headquarters to track down the location of their base camp. In addition to using this time to retrieve the badge, he also focused on two things, comparing intelligence and reasoning in his mind. By this time he had already determined that the bald supervisor was not the real manager of the casino, and that there was a bigger boss above him. And the target he was looking for, the mysterious "Hong Han", mostly stayed at the place where the tracker stopped at the end at this time.
"This is it."
The iron block stopped in front of a building. The light spot on the watch dial shows that the target is in the building in front, but the device based on the map positioning cannot be locked to the specific floor. Tie Block searched the information of this building and found that the owner was a middle-aged fat man named "Hong Rixin", who was in the electronics business. In the photo, he is kind and kind-eyed, and he has no resemblance to the capable man in Xifeng's database.
But for an incognito person, plastic surgery is a very common operation, and the photos are not accurate at all, whether this guy is the former host who defected, or he has to see himself later. Although he has coded the information he has obtained so far and sent it back to Xifeng, whether he can achieve further results depends on his next actions.
Iron paced slowly, keeping an eye on the surveillance cameras around the building, carefully navigating around the building between the blind spots of each lens. He pretended to be taking a walk, but at the same time he was constantly observing the structure of the building, analyzing the level of security near each entrance and looking for a way to safely infiltrate it.
But this building is so high, he doesn't even know which floor the other party is, even if he can sneak in by bypassing the guard, it is impossible to find it slowly layer by layer. What's more, if the other party is alarmed in the process of searching and makes him alert, I am afraid that the whole situation will become difficult to manage, and it will be a question of whether he can evacuate safely.
Iron was thinking about it, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a poster by the door. In the middle of the poster is written "new product launch" a few big words, below the big word is a close-up picture of electronic components, and the upper part is the "Hong Rixin" smiling bust photo, he is arching his hand to make a welcome gesture, next to the line of small words written "Welcome friends to experience it for themselves". Tie Lu looked at the time of the press conference written at the bottom of the poster, and it happened to be ten o'clock this morning!
"It's like the saying goes, 'When you fall asleep, you meet a pillow.'"
Iron looked at his watch. It's seven o'clock in the morning, three hours before the press conference starts, and if he can intercept one of the people attending the press conference and try to get the identity of the other person, then there is a way to sneak into the venue and confirm the situation of that person with his own eyes. Rather than going back with simple information, confirming it with your own eyes will undoubtedly yield further results.
But is there really such a good chance for such a coincidence? Iron was somewhat skeptical. There was no dust on the poster, and it was evident that it had just been hung up for a short time, and it would not last more than two days at most. This press conference will not be held sooner or later, and it will be sent to the door just as he is close to the goal, and it is difficult not to think of the possibility of a trap.
There are risks in making rash moves, but backing down is not his style either. By this time it was already dawn, and the streets began to be lively. A man standing at the gate with nothing to do would undoubtedly look a little glaring, so the iron came to sit in the café opposite. For him, this is both a short break and a continuation of his work. Through the window of the café, he monitored the situation near the entrance of the building across the road, trying to find a flaw in the matter.
It's just that the iron that was focused on the target hadn't been noticed yet, and from the moment he walked into the café, a pair of eyes had been quietly staring at him......
