When I asked him what he did about the grievances on his pocket watch, he didn't answer me directly, but said, "Old objects like this often attract something unclean." ”

"Are there many old things like this?" I asked, looking at the pocket watch in my hand.

After pondering for a while, he gave me an indefinite answer: "Much, not much." It's up to you to look at them from which level. ”

He didn't seem to want to discuss the topic in the first place, so I didn't ask any further.

Twenty minutes later, Yoo Sang-ang returned, saying that the salt works were too big and there were many workers, and that if Ashiya Masanobu came in disguised as a worker, it would be difficult for him to find out where Ashiya Masanobu was. However, there is only one road to the salt farm, so it is recommended to go to the side of the road to squat.

I asked Liang Houzai's opinion, he analyzed it, and said that the reason why Ashiya Masanobu made an appointment to meet in the salt field was because there were many workers, as long as they mixed in, it was not easy to be discovered, and the east and west gates of the salt field were set up with cards, and it was not so easy to get in.

After a brief discussion, we finally accepted Liang Houzai's suggestion and divided into two ways to guard the east and west entrances of the salt farm. But Liu Shangang did not go to the lighthouse, he disguised himself as a salt factory worker and walked around the salt factory.

Liu Shangang said that since Ashiya Masanobu was a person with strong anti-reconnaissance ability, he would definitely pay attention to where there was an observation point when he entered the salt works, and at that time, he would first pay special attention to the towering lighthouse, which would be easily exposed if Liu Shangang hid on it.

He seemed to know the people in the salt works very well, and he helped us get a few sets of workers' clothes for us to change into, and brought us chairs and teacups, so that I and Liang Houzai could drink water and chat.

My skin was too white, and I didn't look like a person who did heavy labor, so we also wore masks to prevent being recognized.

Later, a few more workers came to Simon's side, and when they got together to talk, I would occasionally interject a sentence or two. I think that our disguise is relatively thoughtful, and Ashiya Masanobu should not find any problems.

At about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, a vegetable seller came to the vicinity of the salt pan with a cart, and the man was five big and three thick, and his skin was very rough, and he looked like a simple farmer.

There were a lot of lettuce on his cart and a complete stove, and he waved to us as he walked towards the west gate, which was kind of soliciting customers.

I asked one of the workers next to me, "Does this person come often?" ”

The man said: "Haven't there been a lot of real estate projects in Binhai recently, and people in these small fishing villages often come out with pots and other things to sell stir-fried vegetables, this is a new area, there is no place to sell food, and the people on the construction site eat them." ”

He didn't get to the point for a long time, and I asked him again: "He often comes here to sell vegetables?" ”

He smiled: "How can anyone come to the salt field to sell things, we all bring our own food, or we eat in the small canteen, who spends that unjust money to buy their things." ”

I thought the vegetable seller was suspicious, so I secretly sent a text message to Liu Shangang and told him that there was a situation on my side.

Liu Shangang soon came to the side of the West Gate, he walked past us casually, went straight to the vegetable seller, opened his mouth and asked, "How do you sell this food?" ”

As he spoke, he carefully examined the vegetable vendor's cart, who introduced the prices of various stir-fried vegetables to Liu Shangang.

Liu Shangang pointed to a bundle of coriander and asked the vegetable vendor, "What is this?" ”

Vegetable vendor: "Coriander." ”

Liu Shangang made a look of inaudibleness: "What? ”

The greengrocer responded, "It's coriander." ”

Liu Shangang: "Fry me a copy of this." ”

The vegetable vendor immediately lit the stove and boiled the pot, but before he could put the oil, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and I saw him take out a very old mobile phone from his pocket, and after picking it up, he only said "Hey?" After that, he didn't speak the whole time.

After a while, the vegetable seller put his mobile phone in his pocket and said that something suddenly happened at his house, and he couldn't do business today, Liu Shangang nodded and said politely: "It's not in the way, then you hurry up, I brought food, you can eat your own." ”

After saying that, Liu Shangang turned around and walked towards the salt farm, and the vegetable vendor pushed the cart in the opposite direction.

When the vegetable vendor walked away, my mobile phone also vibrate, and I took out my mobile phone to see that it was a text message from Liu Shangang: "That vegetable vendor is Ashiya Masanobu, come to the pickup truck." ”

Since I knew that he was Ashiya Masashi, why didn't Liu Shangang do it just now, I had some doubts in my heart, but I also knew that he must have his reasons for doing this, so I didn't talk nonsense, and rushed to the pickup with Liang Houzai.

Liu Shangang not only notified us, but also informed Yu Ruofei and Wang Lei, and when we rushed over, the two of them also arrived, and Liu Shangang had already changed into his original clothes and carried his backpack.

As I ran, I said to Liu Shangang, "How do you know that he is Ashiya Masanobu?" ”

Liu Shangang took out my and Liang's thick clothes from his backpack and said: "The locals call coriander coriander, I just asked him what it was in the local dialect, and he actually told me that it was coriander, and I thought there was something wrong with this guy at that time." Then he made another phone call......"

He handed me the clothes and continued: "The person on the phone said that the joint location has been changed, and it has been replaced by the North Pier of the city. ”

While changing my pants, I asked Ruofei, "How many piers are there in the north of the city?" ”

If you don't respond to me immediately, "Just one." These two pickup trucks are from the salt farm, and it is obvious that we have to change cars halfway to the dock. ”

I said, "Then don't bother, let's go." ”

When I said this, he didn't change his clothes and got into the car directly, while I put on a T-shirt and went into the passenger cab.

From the salt field to the north wharf of the city, it was originally necessary to go around the outer ring road first, and then take a road that runs through the entire city, and the whole road distance is about 80 kilometers.

Instead of taking the outer ring road, he picked up the path that runs through the fishing village and rushed to the pier, the road was in poor condition, and at lunchtime, there were no pedestrians on the road, so he almost didn't let the car slow down, and raced on the potholed dirt road.

When we came out of the last fishing village, there was already a van waiting for us at the entrance of the village, we changed cars as fast as we could, and entered the pier in the van.

After getting out of the car, I said to me, "Don't worry, that Onmyoji will definitely not be faster than us." He's walked so far that he could get here at one o'clock at the earliest."

I looked at my watch, and it was half past twelve, and it was a full half an hour before one o'clock.

The area of the dock is not large, but there is construction going on in many places, there are a lot of workers and large machinery used in construction, and there is a lot of noise, so it will be difficult for us to track down Ashiya Masanobu if he breaks in.

This time, we were stuck in traffic on the only major road leading to the pier. Liang Houzai speculated that the person who connected with Ashiya Masanobu should have been hiding in the dock, and it would be easy to expose us wandering around the dock like this, and the best option now is to catch Ashiya Masanobu outside the dock, so as not to alarm the people hiding in the dock.

I originally wanted to avoid the checkpoint and go farther away to guard Ashiya Masanobu, but if I didn't know who to call, we waited near the checkpoint for a minute, and then a security guard came out of the security booth and told us that we could use the monitoring equipment in the security booth at will.

I looked at him with some surprise.

He smiled at me and said, "The old couple has been operating in the Bohai Bay area for hundreds of years, and they still have some connections. ”

When I came to the security booth, Liu Shangang was lying on the surveillance screen and fiddling, he seemed to be very familiar with these things, and after tossing for a while, he patted me on the shoulder, pointed to one of the screens and asked me: "Is this person Luo Youfang?" ”

I looked at the screen carefully, the monitoring screen was not clear, but I could still recognize it at a glance, and the person on the screen was Luo Youfang.

He was sitting in a tin room, his chin propped on his hands, and he was sitting motionless, his eyes fixed on the window. That look, at first glance, is waiting for someone.

I nodded: "It's Luo Youfang." ”

Liu Shangang: "I know his specific location. You can't let the camera keep pointing at him, he will be suspicious after a long time. ”

As he spoke, he fiddled with the knobs on the monitoring console, and the screen changed, and the last thing that appeared on the screen was the door of the tin room.

Although the camera is not directly facing Luo Youfang, as long as he leaves the house, we can still see it.

After another ten minutes, a white SUV stopped in front of the checkpoint, and the security guard opened the window of the security hall and shouted at the car: "The access card is no longer available, come down and register." ”

The front window of the SUV was rolled down, and a person with a big face stretched out and smiled at the security guard: "My driverbrake is not very easy to use, you can hand me the registered notebook and pen." ”

Although his skin had become delicate and much whiter, I could still recognize him at a glance as the greensmith who appeared in the salt works.

Liu Shangang also recognized it and whispered: "The target has appeared." ”

As soon as he blurted out this, he rushed to the window of the security room, reached out and grabbed Ashiya Masanobu's collar, and dragged him out of the car.

Ashiya Masanobu looks very strong, weighing at least one hundred and forty or fifty pounds, and his physique doesn't look as good as him, but when he drags him, he doesn't have any effort, just like dragging a chick.

When he was pressed to the ground, Ashiya Masanobu came back from his surprise, and he immediately twisted his body to break free, and opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to scream.

But if he didn't give him a chance to make a sound, Ashiya Masanobu's body just twisted, and his fist smashed into his face.

Yu Ruofei's fist speed was very fast, I didn't see how he made his hand, I only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and then I saw that Yu Ruofei's fist had been attached to Ashiya Masanobu's face, and Ashiya Masanobu's white and tender face was smashed at that time, and blood was flying.

After this, Ashiya Masanobu didn't struggle anymore, he had passed out.

He tested Ashiya Masanobu's snort with his fingers, and said to himself, "I'm still alive." ”

Wang Lei hurriedly stepped forward to pull Yu Ruofei away, and asked the people in the security room for a rope, and quickly tied up Ashiya Zhengxin. He threw aside the big-flowered Ashiya Masanobu, and turned around and asked Ruofei: "Have you forgotten what the second master told you?" It's still so ruthless. What to do if you kill someone! ”

Qi Ruofei shrugged his shoulders: "Who made him so can't help fighting?" Besides, isn't he alive and well now? ”
