Track the target
A long time ago, when he was still in the police academy, Xiang Yun once asked the teacher of the special operations class a question. Genius remembered the first three or five in a second, when she asked, there are so many things that need to be paid attention to in the course, what is the most important thing in those undercover operations? How can we better integrate into the environment?
The old teacher, who had been in their class for a whole year, looked at her deeply and shook her head.
"You don't need to understand this." He said, "The most important thing for this kind of thing is understanding, and you have more than enough." ”
The so-called comprehension is originally an ethereal word, but putting it into some real manifestations is enough to clearly distinguish people into three, six, nine and so on. For example, in the case of undercover, it is natural that you can't even play a role. If you can prepare in advance, understand the character setting thoroughly, and make your gestures look "like", it is the lowest level of qualification.
The higher level is to let yourself incarnate into that character, think and live in a different way than before, so that those picky officials can't find flaws. But to get to this point, most people still have to go through careful preparation and practice.
But what was left for Xiang Yun was only five seconds.
When she pushed open the door and entered the hall, the first thing that caught her eye was the well-dressed guests and the women who surrounded them like bees, then the golden walls and the equipment that lay out in the field. Slightly different from what she had expected, the hall she was in at this time was not an ordinary clubhouse, but had a very specific purpose.
Here is a casino. A casino that is spacious enough and luxuriously decorated, but there are not too many participants.
There are only two kinds of people who appear here, one is the men, who wear a variety of suits or casual formal attire, with their hair neatly combed and meticulously dressed. Naturally, this kind of dress is not to please these women around them, because they don't need to. In fact, they are long past the age when they need to please them. This kind of lofty posture is actually more like a way to show yourself to others around you. Although they talk and laugh on the surface, there is also a faint competitive relationship between them. Among these people, Xiang Yun recognized many familiar faces.
After all, the people who appeared here were all figures with heads and faces in Tianjing City, either rich or noble, many of them knew each other before, and some of them were simply competitors, and meeting on such occasions, although they had to maintain a superficial harmony, did not prevent them from competing secretly - not to mention that the gambling table was a fairly ideal battlefield. Although it hadn't officially started yet, Xiang Yun noticed that some people had already shown eagerness on their faces.
In addition to these men, there are also various women in different clothes in the hall, which can be divided into several categories according to their clothing: one is the "bunny girl", who walks around with trays full of wine and muffins, acting as a kind of "waiter"; One is wearing a high-forked cheongsam, leaning on those rich people and smiling smartly, and from time to time they are waiting for the latter to laugh happily, and most of these people play the role of "foil". In addition to these, there are more than a dozen women wearing "cat girl" costumes similar to Xiang Yun. But these people did not participate in the entertainment, but stood quietly to the side, as if waiting for something. There is a heroic temperament under their heavy makeup, which is very different from those of their other colleagues.
Is it security? Or a bodyguard? When Xiang Yun saw the empty positions on the side of the gaming table, he understood. For the rest of the year, she will play the role of "dealer" of this casino.
So, her position at this time was determined.
From entering the door to seeing the situation clearly, to deducing what he needed to do, Xiang Yun spent no more than three or five seconds on these things, and even had the spare energy to observe the expressions on everyone's faces during this period. By the time she took a step to the side and stood by the wall like the "cat girls", she had already seen the reaction of everyone in the room to her.
So far, good luck seems to be with her. Xiang Yun's movements when he entered the door were small, but they still attracted the attention of several people, including cat girls like her. But they only glanced over here, and after making eye contact with Xiang Yun, they didn't show any further performance. This means that they are at least not familiar with each other, and may not even know each other. Xiang Yun secretly thought, looking at the way they stood and waited, he felt that these people were quite unfamiliar with each other, although they were both female dealers, they might have been temporarily transferred from major casinos, and they only saw it for the first time after they got on the boat.
In this way, she undoubtedly has a lot of room to move. Although some of these dealers may know the woman who was knocked unconscious on the shore by her, Xiang Yun didn't need to pretend to be that person in the first place. Her real role is just one of the dealers, it is natural to look at the face, and it is normal that she is not familiar with these colleagues, and she can even be said to have been temporarily called on the ship. In short, as long as no one here knows Xiang Yun as a policeman, she is not afraid that her identity will be directly exposed.
And she can focus more on her goals.
"First of all, Lu Jia, and that ponytail...... Already sitting at the table? ”
She whispered to herself, her gaze slowly sweeping the scene while firmly locking on to the two people she was looking for. One of them is Lu Jia. This wealthy merchant, who was quite famous in Tianjing City, was elegantly holding a glass of wine at this time, chatting happily surrounded by several other young people, and let out a few hearty laughs from time to time. Even among the extraordinary people on board, he was still the brightest star, and those who didn't stand with him would look at it from time to time.
And the person she saw before was the opposite of Lu Jiawan. If Lu Jia is the dazzling sun, then he is the dim shadow in the corner. At this time, he was sitting alone in front of a gaming table in the corner, with his back facing Xiang Yun, and from this side he could see the bright red scarf and a slender ponytail on the back of his head, confirming that it was indeed the target she was looking for. From the physical point of view, Xiang Yun felt that he should be a young man in his twenties, maybe just about the same age as himself.
It's just that there is no shortage of young talents here, and there are not a few people who are qualified to board the ship at this age, but it is better to say that they are more likely to attract the attention of others because of their youth, after all, no one wants to lose an opportunity to tap into potential stocks. However, Xiang Yun was surprised to find that the young man had been sitting in the corner for a while, and he didn't even have a person to talk to. The waiters who came and went only occasionally were they surprised to find that there were still people when they walked around the neighborhood, and there was not even a single man or woman who took the initiative to talk to them.
Around this man, it was as if even the air had been distorted, forming an aura that was not easy to notice. If it weren't for Xiang Yun's determination to search the people on the scene just now, I'm afraid even she would carelessly miss this person.
Forget one or two omissions, even I almost didn't notice it, which means that the other party must have done something.
"What the hell is this skill?" She was shocked in her heart, "It's better to say, can this kind of thing still be practiced?" ”
At the same time as he was surprised, Xiang Yun suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being targeted by an invisible poisonous snake. She subconsciously turned her head and happened to meet Lu Jia in the distance. The latter just glanced to this side in the interval of chatting, and the whole process was only half a second, and there was no lag in even the high-minded talk in progress. However, the moment their eyes met, Xiang Yun understood that the other party was definitely looking at this side intentionally, and the object of his observation was himself.
Maybe it was the other party who observed him just now that he was noted, or maybe the current behavior of staring at the connector caused him to be alert, in short, Lu Jia undoubtedly noticed the strangeness of this cat girl and paid attention to her.
"It seems that this rich businessman is not as relaxed as he seems on the surface, but quite alert." Xiang Yun thought secretly.
One can eliminate his own aura to a state close to "nothing", and the other can lock on the suspicious people who are observing him with just one gaze in the process of pretending to chat, both of which Xiang Yun can't do to himself, so you can roughly guess how tricky the other party is.
In other words, it is prudent to give up the action first, put it first, and wait for the next better opportunity before making a move. But in this situation in front of her, is there a way out, is there another way out, does she really have to give up the clues that she has been so hard to keep up?
While she was thinking, a man's voice suddenly sounded and the audience fell silent.
"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Sea Palace today, my Gemini Superstar!"
It was a thin, short, middle-aged man who spoke. He was wearing a close-fitting dark blue suit, the top of his head was smooth and shiny, and he looked smaller than he actually was, but his small eyes were shining with a terrifying aura, and those who were much taller than him automatically lowered their heads in front of him, as if they were invisibly shorter.
He walked out of the door on the other side of the hall, and at this time the crowd had consciously made way to a passage so that he could easily walk to the middle, and even Lu Jia consciously took a few steps back. In a group of rich and powerful, this bald man seems to be the real master, and he doesn't need to say any hints to get others to act as he pleases.
What is the origin of this mysterious shipowner? Xiang Yun searched for the portraits of all the big people in his memory, but he couldn't find any of them. The only thing that is certain is that this man is anything but simple. Xiang Yun noticed that the steps in the section he walked over were casual, but the distance of each step was exactly the same, and his hands seemed to swing naturally, but with a certain sense of rhythm. This is a realm that can only be possessed by a martial arts master, and just this clue that is inadvertently revealed can determine that he is not an extraordinary person.
Not to mention that the two targets are extremely tricky, even the owner of this land is also a master of concealment, and other than that, I don't know how many dangerous factors are hidden on this ship. Faced with an increasingly complicated situation, the tension in Xiang Yun's heart was unusually swept away, and it was replaced by a strong fighting spirit.
"Interesting." Unconsciously she licked her dry lips again.
