Chapter 52: Appearing
I sat in the shade to avoid the sun, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water in my hand and drank half of it.
The other three were still standing in place, some wearing big straw hats, some with small beards, and some with scarves wrapped around their heads like mummies.
Yes, counting today, we have been here for three days, a full three days.
Our daily task is to stay in a fixed position and see if there will be Su Tang in the store called 'Korean Entertainment Clothing'.
A text message at noon, we gather for dinner, rest for an hour, continue to squat in the afternoon, a text message in the afternoon, we gather for dinner, and continue to squat after dinner, until the school access time in the evening, stepping into the school.
The next night after the day when we first started squatting, that is, the night before yesterday, the three of us were already a little discouraged, because if Su Tang was really in that store, he should come out, in terms of his character, it was impossible to stay in it all the time, if we continued to stay here, in case the inference was wrong, Su Tang was not in that store, in this way, it was not only our time that was wasted, but also our energy, and our trust in Xu Laifu.
After all, this idea was proposed by Xu Laifu, and it goes without saying that he is full of confidence, if he fails, not only will we doubt his ability, but as far as he is concerned, he may not be able to forgive himself.
As if we had already thought about it, after we proposed to end the squatting strategy against Su Tang, Xu Laifu lowered his head and said to us in a deep voice: "In two days, if Su Tang has not appeared, we will make plans again, and besides, I will no longer participate in the future plan!"
Sun Yang sighed and said to Xu Laifu: "We believe that you did this, but it's been three days, and we are all a little disappointed that the probability of Su Tang's appearance is very low, this is not because we doubt your ability, but because we are worried about the smooth progress of the mission in the future!"
"Laifu, you still don't believe me, my skin has been tanned by you, and my sister can't take it! But I'm still willing to listen to what you say, you must not give up on yourself!" Cheng Hu said.
Indeed, Cheng Hu has indeed darkened a lot after three days of 'baptism'.
"No matter whether we can meet Su Tang in this store this time, we are willing to believe you, whether it is before or after, the action steps are still up to you!" I said to Xu Laifu sincerely.
Even if we give up the squatting of 'Korean entertainment clothing', there is no way to find out Su Tang's location at present, so we still obey Xu Laifu's order and continue to squat.
It was precisely because of Xu Laifu's affirmation of his own battle that he ushered in the victory of the squatting operation on the fourth day.
An hour after lunch, we were once again standing in the confines of our squatting point, and right next to me as I circled the tiger again, a figure was imprinted in my eyes.
Su Tang !!
It's definitely Su Tang who is right, he has lived under the same roof for nearly a year and a half, he looks down and doesn't look up, he knows him quite well, that figure is seen thousands of times a day......
I hurriedly walked in the opposite direction of 'Korean Entertainment Costume', two hundred steps away, that is Xu Laifu's position, at this time, I want to meet with him.
When he was leaving, he quietly squatted down and said a word to Cheng Hu.
"When the target appears, keep an eye on the point, lower the brim of the hat, and contact us immediately if there is a situation!"
Cheng Hu nodded.
From Cheng Hu's position to Xu Laifu's position, the pace of this journey is the heaviest rhythm I have ever felt in my life.
I can't help but feel sentimental, Su Tang came out of the 'Korean entertainment costumes', which can prove at least two things.
First, Xu Laifu's speculation is correct, Su Tang has been staying here since he disappeared, and Xu Laifu's previous tracking of Su Tang, Su Tang, did not find out.
Second, Su Tang is very likely to be a person in the Dark Alliance, so far, all the evidence has been pointed at Su Tang without exception, and the probability that Su Tang is a person in the Dark Alliance is as high as ninety percent.
How should I deal with him, do I have to fight him-for-tat? You know, we used to be friends who talked about everything, and he still owes me a lot of money......
There is still less than a hundred steps away from Xu Laifu, and Xu Laifu also looked at me, but he didn't know that I had discovered Su Tang, because he couldn't see the specific situation of 'Korean entertainment clothing' in his position.
It's just that the 'mummy' head was tilted because of my coming.
After a few steps, the distance of 100 steps was quickly shortened.
"When I found Su Tang, I have asked the tiger to keep an eye on him, and Sun Yang is still on standby!"
I succinctly conveyed the words to Xu Laifu.
Xu Laifu pulled down the scarf vigorously, exposed his mouth and said to me: "Keep tracking, see where he is going, I want to make a call!"
"Okay, what's the matter, text us!" I continued.
"Well, let's go!" Xu Laifu restored the scarf to its original place, as if it had never been lifted, and maintained its previous posture.
Xu Laifu said he was going to make a phone call...... As for who he fought with, I've already guessed a point, and I think it looks like he's going to get serious.
I turned around and lowered my baseball cap, lifted my sunglasses, and walked towards Cheng Hu with my head down.
Cheng Hu is no longer in his original position, it seems that Su Tang has gone somewhere else.
I looked at the café opposite the 'Korean Entertainment Costume', Sun Yang, who was sticking to a pinch of mustache, shrugged at me, obviously after coming out of Su Tang, he was watching our every move as a bystander, from Su Tang's appearance, to the action of I arranging Cheng Hu to bow his head and lean over, I left Cheng Hu and walked towards Xu Laifu, and when I came back, he could see it clearly.
At this time, I already knew the reason why Sun Yang was looking at me and Song Jian, and he was asking me what he needed to do now.
I shook my palms downwards and motioned for him to sit still.
Sun Yang frowned, looking not very satisfied, and then nodded in obedience.
Looks like he understood what I meant.
That way, I can decide what to do next based on my own thinking.
Be sure to make it clear to Su Tang face to face, I won't fight against him until he personally admits that he is a member of the Dark Alliance!
Just when I was hesitating to send a text message to Cheng Hu to ask about Su Tang's specific location, an expected text message came as I wished.
Sure enough, it was sent by Cheng Hu, and he swiped the phone with his hand and clicked on the information column.
"Come here, just come by yourself, I'll wait for you at the end of this street at the mouth of the alley!"
I was surprised* to read the text message again.
"Come here, just come by yourself, I'll wait for you at the end of this street at the mouth of the alley!"
What does this mean? Is this Cheng Hu's tone? What is going on?
I walked straight over according to the condition of 'come alone' in the text message Cheng Hu sent me, and it took less than two minutes to reach the distance of about 500 meters.
There was a willow tree about 50 centimeters in diameter on the side of the street, it was summer, and the willow tree was in full bloom, and where 10,000 willows were hanging down, there stood a person, whose back was very familiar, and I did not hesitate to cry out.
"Brother Tang......"
Before I could get the words 'is it you?' along with the question mark, he interrupted me.
"It's coming?!" Su Tang turned his head to me and said.
I haven't seen him for a few days, Su Tang is obviously thinner than before, the clothes he wears are still the ones he often wears, his hair is not well cared for, he looks sluggish, if you look closely, his eye circles are still slightly black, I secretly said, how has he come over these days!
"Hmm...... I replied.
Hey, all of a sudden, I forgot an important thing, what about Cheng Hu? It was Su Tang who he had just followed him, and besides, it was also a text message he sent me to ask me to come over alone...... Although the tone is not quite like his...... Could it be !!
"What are you thinking?" Su Tang was the first to attack.
"Have you seen Cheng Hu? We came out together......" I tested him to see what he had to say.
"Is it just coming out?" Su Tang smiled.
My face was a little embarrassed, although tracking Su Tang was also a task given by his superiors, but tracking was not a good thing, and it was really embarrassing to say.
"Now that you already know, is it necessary to ask? I said, Brother Tang, where did you get Cheng Hu?" Now that Su Tang already knows that I am following him, then Cheng Hu must be in his hands, in this case, even the text message just now can be explained.
"Hehe, I really don't know what's going on with you, why do you keep pestering me? Did I provoke you?" Su Tang asked rhetorically.
"It's not that you don't know, our Association of Strangers and the Dark Alliance are opposed to each other, and they are incompatible, and now the top suspects that you may also be a member of the Dark Alliance, so they specially sent us to monitor you, and it happened that Rifles saw you when they were shopping that day, so they had this plan. "I told him all the details of the entire plan, it doesn't matter, if Su Tang is his own person, there is nothing to be afraid of telling the plan, on the contrary, if Su Tang is really a member of the Dark Organization, this time, it will be the first confrontation between the Association of Strangers and the Dark Alliance.
And when I finished speaking, Su Teng did not have a trace of shock, but was a little calm, is this still the Su Tang I knew before? This battle-hardened ability is incomparable to me.
"Do you think I haven't noticed your every move......? If I want, I can live in that shop forever, you guard it in vain, if I really can't stand it, I won't be standing here and chatting with you today, the reason why I appear is because I have mercy on you!" Su Tang snorted lightly, and the longest strand of hair on his head also fell down with the light hum, and Su Tang gently put it back into his hair with his hand.
"You ......"
Hearing this, I was furious, did the words 'pity' come from the mouth of 'baby-faced' Su Tang?
Hehe......
