Chapter 219. [Case 23] followed all the way

I held my breath until the four men walked past me and walked away. So I slowly returned to the toilet and called Hu Zongren, and I said that someone was coming, there were four of them, and I could basically confirm that it was someone from the White Lotus Sect. Hu Zongren asked me in a low voice, how are you sure? I didn't have time to say more, I was afraid that this group of people would see the light of Hu Zongren's mobile phone later, so I told him that you don't ask, hang up the phone, just trust me. With that, I hung up the phone.

The reason why I'm so sure that this group of people is from the White Lotus Sect is because of the way they walk. When the park closes at night, the lights have to be turned off, even the street lights on both sides of the road have to be turned off, and there is no power supply in the toilets. Therefore, in such an environment, if Hu Zongren and I took out our mobile phones to call each other, we might be discovered at a long distance because of the darkness. While I was hiding here and waiting, there was a person who might have been a security guard passing by, but he was still holding a flashlight, shining from east to west, and at first glance he was on patrol, and I could tell from the footsteps that he was not here to do something shady. And these four people are different, usually we walk at night, although we don't necessarily have to smile and talk, but at least not in this kind of black light blind situation, not even a lighting device, even if it really doesn't bring, now everyone has a mobile phone, the light source of the mobile phone can not also illuminate part of the road? Not to mention that the road is still built along the cliff face, and it is scary to walk to the edge during the day, let alone at night. On the other hand, the footsteps of this group of people were deliberately light, so it can be seen that they were certainly not wearing leather shoes, but mostly soft-soled shoes such as cloth shoes and rubber shoes, and if they had not stepped on the rustling sound of fallen leaves on the ground, I would probably not have noticed them. Since I spend a little longer in the dark, I can see the silhouettes of those people in the same lightless environment, which is actually easy to distinguish, when a group of people quietly appear somewhere at the wrong time, and are also lightly touched, there can only be one purpose, that is, to be afraid of being discovered.

As for the fear of being discovered by someone, it is difficult to say that Hu Zongren and I have the clues at present, first of all, they must have avoided the park duty staff, which is why they acted secretly and did not have lighting equipment. Secondly, if they were the first to know that Hu Zongren and I would definitely come to the bad thing, then they would definitely be ready to fight us to the end. The park is huge, even the area surrounded by a wall in the middle is not small, with only four people, and in the middle of the night, it is actually very difficult to find something, so these people either know the specific location, or the thing needs the strength of four people.

Luckily, the clothes I wore that day were dark, and I used to wear those big scalp shoes with cow tendon soles when I went out on errands for many years. I calculated that after the men had gone away, I followed them out, and when I could see the silhouettes of a few people in the distance, I followed them from a distance. At this moment, I know that Hu Zongren must have found a place to hide, this is what we have agreed before, no matter who discovers the movement first, the other will immediately arrive at the middle point of us in advance, so as to ensure that we will not be embarrassed by each other, and let the two of us get together and do everything safely.

As they were about to reach the place where they had first met the old lady, that is, Eryakan, the men suddenly stopped, and whispered, so low that I couldn't hear what they were saying at all. And I quickly shrank to the edge of the flower bed and crouched down. There were lights reflected in the street below the second cliff, so I could see the shadows of a few people backlit when I squatted. One of them walked to the railing on the side, as if lying on the top and stretched out his head to look down, this action Hu Zongren and I had also done during the day, and it was therefore found that there was no chance that anyone could climb up at the bottom. After getting used to the surrounding environment, gradually my hearing and vision will become stronger, although I didn't fully understand the words of a few people, but intermittently I heard these words, which roughly means where is it? It's really hard to find a flashlight without it. Then another person said that it was possible to be in a cave, so let's go there and have a look.

The cave here, if I'm not mistaken, must be that deserted bomb shelter. Several people discussed there for a while, and secretly lit up their mobile phones halfway, probably looking for a way or something, and finally they decided to go in the direction of the bomb shelter. I didn't go to the bomb shelter, but I asked for the specific location before, and it was roughly between my current location and the location where Hu Zongren was hiding before, and I was isolated for a while, and then I was able to find it on the cliff wall after going around the bend. Hu Zongren and I first suspected that the air-raid shelter might be hiding, but later, after some conversations with the owner of the tea stall, I discovered that the old temple by the dark river in the middle was the most likely place.

So I was faced with a new problem, whether to continue to follow these people, or let them go and look for themselves for a while. And now I don't know where Hu Zongren is, but the only thing I can be sure of is that Hu Zongren is also hiding not far from me at the moment, watching these guys.

As these people walked away, I decided to trust my own judgment. After hearing the footsteps fading away, although I couldn't be sure if Hu Zongren had followed, I still hid behind a tree, lowered my throat and coughed lightly, and then waited. A few seconds later, behind the haystack on the other side of me, I also heard a soft cough. Hu Zongren approached to tell his old friend that we could recognize each other even if he coughed, so I stood up, quickly moved around him, and then asked in a low voice, where are you? He whispered, here.

I quickly found him, and crouched down beside him, and I said I'm really worried that you'd be stupid to follow him. He said how come, I am in front of you, even if I want to follow, I have to follow you, I counted four people, and I didn't see you following, I knew that you stayed, so I also stayed. I nodded, I didn't expect Hu Zongren to be quite clever at the moment. But soon Hu Zongren asked me, then why don't you continue to follow? Maybe it's in that cave! I noticed that Hu Zongren's hiding place was actually closer to those people than I was, and when he said this, I knew that Hu Zongren had actually heard their conversation at that time. So I asked him what those guys were saying, and I was so far away that I couldn't hear them very clearly. Hu Zongren said that they were just discussing, saying that the cave over there was behind the corner, and even if you built a fire there, it would not be discovered by the people from the park management office, and that place was also the place where they thought it was easiest to find things, so they planned to look for it there first.

I asked Hu Zongren, meaning that they should go there first, and if they didn't find it, maybe they would have to change places, right? Hu Zongren nodded and said, roughly that's what it means. I said, do you see what these guys look like? Hu Zongren said how can I see clearly in the dark, and I am not an owl. I told Hu Zongren that I stopped and didn't continue to follow, first, to avoid alarming the other party, although I was ready to do it tonight, but who is so bored and has nothing to fight, if I can, I won't fight. And we came earlier than the other party, and we also stepped on the point, and we knew the general terrain, and our memory was still fresh, so at this point, we had a slight advantage, and even said that we were closer to the truth than them, after all, we had plenty of time to think.

Hu Zongren patted me on the shoulder and said, then let's bet, let's bet on the two groups of us, who guessed right. I nodded, because I knew that what was going to happen was that we were going to climb over the wall into the area of the middle river.

I have seen the terrain at a high place earlier, and from our current position, maybe it is not a difficult thing to climb over the wall, as long as we get rid of those glass slags, but if we use a mobile phone or a flashlight or something like that when we go in, there will be a possibility of being discovered by the people at the top of the management office, but if we can walk a few hundred meters in the dark, we will be blocked by a very high cliff, and the people above will not be able to see us, unless their security guards are very conscientious and will keep an eye on this place all the time. That's unlikely. Moreover, after entering, there is a wall around it, and the corner is still a relatively high cliff, so even if we use the light source, the group of people from the White Lotus Sect may not be able to find it.

I asked Hu Zongren, you just overheard them talking, did you hear a person they called "Uncle Yang"? Hu Zongren said yes, I heard it too. I said that this doesn't seem to be quite right, what Situ said, these White Lotus disciples are gathered from all over the world, that is to say, each has different teachers and followers, since the masters may not admit defeat to each other, who will be the Yang Shibo in this group of people, could these four people be from the same master? Hu Zongren said that this is not clear, but at least we can be sure that this so-called Master Yang is one of the main messengers who instructed these people to visit the Buddha Tuguan at night, which means that this Master Yang is one of the people who knows the ins and outs of this matter. Hu Zongren smiled and said, remember this name, maybe we will have to meet in the future.

I smiled too, but didn't speak. Since we didn't know how far away the air-raid shelter was from us, after all, we hadn't been there in person, so Hu Zongren and I still planned to take advantage of the fact that there were no patrolling security guards now, and those people from the White Lotus Sect didn't turn around and climbed over the wall first. If we are fortunate enough to find it inside, there is no need to fight this one, and it can be regarded as a good thing to break the White Lotus Sect.
