(2-in-1 update, 3 more achieved, 27 less updated)
Just when Napoleon VII was about to go to the Hamovniki Tors Thermal Palace to meet Andrei Pamoshev, the leader of the Wolf Gang, Li Ziting and Vodianova were searching for the suspicious addresses that Cheng Mo had circled last night.
Among them, the four largest gangs in Russia, the Tomahawks, the skinheads, the Wolves, and the Tarière Oniani gang, all sent people to the traffic arteries controlled by the other side regardless of the rules to see if the other party had gained anything.
All of Moscow, more than 700 boss-level gang leaders, 12,000 gang gangs, and 100,000 members are looking for a man named Filaret Dmitrievich Shirkov, and the whole of Moscow was troubled on July 31, 2018, especially in the southwestern district, where Chinese and Asians live, and in the Greenwood industrial park outside the Great Ring Road in the northwest, as well as in various large market areas.
"Pathfinding?, your lucky sixteen-year-old boy figured it out for you?" said Vodianova, who was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, after returning again in vain, looked at Li Jiting with caring eyes.
"Hey, hey, my dear Vodianova, don't doubt my judgment, I think that kid is definitely a detective material, he is a genius like Sherlock Holmes....."
"Sherlock Holmes, my God, my God, I wonder if you've watched too many TV series, I used to be obsessed with Sherlock Holmes when I was studying, and I tried to use the reasoning methods in the book, but it turned out to be completely ineffective. That is, you have to be able to clearly and thoroughly discard the interference of useless clues every time you reason, and you must have a large amount of knowledge, which is impossible in reality, for example, Sherlock Holmes judged that he had an alcoholic brother based on the scratches on Watson's pocket watch, and in fact everyone's level of fineness is not the same, some people are careless even if they don't drink, and some people know how to cherish their belongings when they are drunk, such reasoning is complete nonsense. Even if I have a carrier, I can't do it, ten times of reasoning can be right five times, that's very powerful, and if the basic deduction method is really so powerful, the police don't need to study forensic science and forensic science....." Vodianova said with a rather dissatisfied hand on the steering wheel.
"But I don't have a choice, and you can't get the location of all the safe houses in Moscow in Cao County's Room 35, what can I do?
"Why don't you have a choice? I think we should keep an eye on the Cao County embassy and catch those Cao County spies lurking in Moscow..... Instead of choosing to trust your intuition!" After a pause, Vodianova said angrily: "It's still a double intuition, do you think it's a double negative and a yes?"
"No, no, Vodianova, mine is intuition, his is science, it is calculation....." Li Jiting shook his fingers and said solemnly.
"That's what wayfinding algorithm?..... This reminds me of "Detective Chinatown 2", others are making movies, speaking of which, you and that lucky boy are really like the combination of Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran, a pervert master who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it and an apprentice who can't understand the amorous feelings....." Wodianova rolled her eyes and complained like a hanging river.
"Vodianova, you can say that I am like anyone, but you can't say that I am Wang Baoqiang!"
"Why? I think others are quite sincere, and they are honest at first glance, unlike you, they are not a good thing at first glance.... If I want you two in front of me, I will never choose you. β
"As long as you choose me, I don't mind being Wang Baoqiang!"
"Can you fix your casual flirting with girls!"
"I'm terminally ill, I'm terminally ill, and I can't change it..... Unless....."
"Alright, you needless to say, I know you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth. Vodianova parked her car in front of a towering apartment, and although she didn't trust Li Jiting's judgment, she still followed the address circled on the map.
Li Jiting was the first to get out of the car, stood in place and looked at this slightly old building, and said with a serious expression: "I have a hunch that in this building, we will definitely find something." β
Vodianova also got out of the car, closed the door, pressed the close button on the key, and after the lights of the Grand Cherokee flashed twice, Vodianova said angrily: "You said the same thing at the last search point!"
Li Jiting smiled awkwardly, "Is there anyone like you who squeeze your boss?"
"As the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, there is a boss who teases his subordinates like you, and naturally there are subordinates like me who squeeze the boss!" said Vodianova noncommittally.
As the so-called one thing descends one thing, Cheng Mo has no way to take Li Jiting, and Li Jiting has no way to take Vodianova, with a loveless expression on his face, he said helplessly: "One person on the first floor! I start from the first floor, and you go down from the top floor..."
Vodianova shook her head, indicating that she was not at all willing, but walked to the apartment building anyway.
More than two hours later, Li Jiting and Vodianova met on the eighteenth floor in the middle of the 37-story apartment.
Although Vodyanova knew that it was unlikely to find a clue, if she really found any clues, Li Jiting must have told her through their special communication software, but Vodyanova still couldn't help but ask with a hint of hope: "Is there a gain?"
Li Jiting shook his head, "Only the left side of this floor has not been there.... But I don't think there's a chance, and safe houses are generally not located in places like this...."
Sure enough, the two of them carefully inspected the other half of the eighteenth floor, but still found nothing.
"I just said that we should go and arrest the Cao County spies we have a list of, and we can definitely find clues. Vodyanova said fiercely, and the cold tone made it impossible to associate with her pretty face.
"You better dispel this idea as soon as possible! Arresting staff members of other countries in other countries will trigger diplomatic incidents, and neither Russia nor Cao County can explain it...."Li Jiting said with a wry smile.
The two walked side by side from the left end of the closed corridor to the elevator hall, and Vodianova scoffed and said: "This is not like your style, you are not so afraid of things!"
"Now that I'm older, I have to think about my wife and children....."
"Wife and children, are you married?" asked Vodianova, turning her face and looking at Li Jiting's side face in disbelief.
"Of course..... Not yet.... You haven't agreed to marry me yet, so you haven't had time to give birth to a child yet..... As long as you promise, the process will be very fast, and tonight, maybe I will be able to become a father...."Li Jiting pressed the door button of the elevator and said to Vodianova, who was walking inside.
Vodianova walked into the elevator, turned around and raised her foot to kick Li Jiting, who was about to enter the elevator, out, and sneered: "The process is fast? I have never been interested in a fast gunner like you.....
This hard kick directly kicked Li Jiting to the wall opposite the elevator, Li Jiting leaned on the slightly yellowed wall, stretched out his hand to signal Vodianova not to close the door, and then as soon as the word "hey" was spoken, the elevator door was mercilessly closed.
The corners of Li Jiting's mouth, which was still bent just now, immediately flattened, from a smile to no expression, he walked to the elevator entrance, pressed the down button again, and when the elevator arrived, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on a communication software that needed to enter a password, and typed: "Have the other groups gained?"
A moment later, Li Jiting received a feedback of "no".
Li Jiting frowned slightly, his face was cloudy, and then his other mobile phone vibrated a little, and he took it out and saw that it was WeChat that received a new email message, the email came from the email address he wanted Cheng Mo to give to Napoleon VII.
At this time, the elevator just arrived, Li Jiting walked into the elevator, saw that the elevator was empty, so he randomly pressed four or five floors, so that the elevator reached the first floor slower, he quickly entered the mailbox, replied to the email sent by Napoleon, and told Napoleon VII the news that he had not yet told Napoleon VII about Shirkov's escape with the help of the people of Cao County, and asked Napoleon VII to remit the money into a Swiss bank account, and if he did not give the money, he would not raise further news.
After replying to the email, Li Jiting used this mailbox to send out five more emails, all of which asked if he wanted to buy the latest news about Shirkov.
After doing all this, just arrived on the first floor, Li Jiting stuffed his mobile phone back into his pocket, and when he stepped out of the elevator, he had a vague smile on his face again.
Li Jiting walked out of the apartment building, Vodianova was already sitting in the car, and drove the car to the door of the apartment building, Li Jiting went straight to the car, quickly fastened his seat belt, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go! Go to the next suspicious location..."
Time is spinning forward rapidly, there are still more than eight hours before August 1st, there are still 19 hours before K20 departs from Moscow to Beijing, and 240 departs from Moscow to Cao County 31 hours away....

Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun came back from Red Square by subway at almost nine o'clock, this day was quite pleasant for Cheng Mo, Xie Minyun except for the bad attitude towards him when he first went out, the whole process of the tour was still very normal, the two of them talked about Russian music, Russian literature, Russian art and the great history of the Soviet Union, there are endless topics.
They talked from Tarkovsky's films, to Dostoevsky, from Shishkin and Surikov to Tchaikovsky and Glinka. The great Russian artists were never imaginative, and their works were epic and contained a personality of fraternity, benevolence and humility.
These great artists have allowed the two of them to find harmony in their artistic perception, because both Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun have the same understanding of the predicament, as these great Russian artists have shown, that is, they have the unparalleled courage to face up to the predicament of human existence and burst out with majestic passion.
Of course, in fact, this kind of experience is not only shared by Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun, but also by people all over the world who like Russian art, because this collective great spirit of fraternity is not only the pride of Russia, but also the whole of mankind.
For the first time, the two of them did not argue, and after visiting Red Square, the Kremlin, the State Historical Museum and St. Basil's Cathedral in harmony and pleasure, they went to a famous restaurant near Red Square and waited in a long line to eat extremely "hard" authentic Russian food.
However, when Cheng Mo returned to the hotel, took a shower and played several games of Go with Xie Minyun until eleven o'clock, Xie Minyun's face suddenly changed, but it was not extremely cold, but with a smile on his face, he brushed his hair with an indifferent smile, and said to Cheng Mo: "It's time, you continue to sleep in the hall today!"
This smile was even more terrifying than when she usually had a straight face, like a poppy flower that was so beautiful that it was terrifying.....
Cheng Mo sighed in his heart, he knew that Xie Minyun was still insisting on not taking a bath at this time, he must be waiting for this moment, he didn't say anything, got up from the bed, put on an extra coat, put on his shoes and planned to go out.
Xie Minyun said: "Put down your coat and wear the pajamas I prepared for you...."After speaking, he handed Cheng Mo a set of very childish cartoon rabbit pajamas that he just bought today, a set of cute pajamas that even young boys would dislike.
Cheng Mo was about to speak, Xie Minyun sneered: "You said, before returning to China, you will listen to me for everything!"
Cheng Mo was speechless, so he could only take the pajamas, go to the bathroom to change, and when he came out, Xie Minyun picked up the pillow from Cheng Mo's bed again, handed it to him, and said, "Bring it." β
Cheng Mo shook his head, "I don't need a pillow." β
Xie Minyun said reluctantly: "I said that if you need it, you need it." β
Cheng Mo was helpless, so he could only take the pillow from Xie Minyun's hand and hold it in his arms, but this was not the end, Xie Minyun folded the quilt from the bed again, and then handed it to Cheng Mo, "Take it!"
"This ...... It's too exaggerated, isn't it?" Cheng Mo's expression was quite speechless.
"It's not an exaggeration, what am I asking me to bring it for?" Xie Minyun sneered.
"No, I mean boring and childish is too exaggerated. Cheng Mo took the neatly folded quilt and said sarcastically.
"You ....." Xie Minyun's eyebrows raised for a moment, and immediately returned to normal as if he was calm, reaching out to help Cheng Mo put on the hat of his pajamas, and the two white rabbit ears stood up, she looked at Cheng Mo like this, completely lost his usual indifference to see through the world, and looked childish, and chuckled: " Remember, don't go down and say that I'm your girlfriend, just say that sleeping in the lobby of every hotel is your quirk, you can't sleep if you don't sleep in the lobby, no matter what the other party says, you can't go, you must insist on sleeping in the lobby, and you have to say that I'm a psychopath, you don't care about me.... I'll be watching you quietly, got it!"
Cheng Mo didn't say anything, hugged the quilt and pillow and walked towards the door of the room, he was already ready in his heart, no matter how Xie Minyun tossed, when she put out the fire, everything would be calm, besides, they couldn't stay in Russia for a few days, they would leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, and it would be over with a casual mix in two days, without Li Jiting, who was an old man on the surface, as long as he stayed away from this dangerous woman when he returned to Huaxia, he should be able to get along well.
When Cheng Mo walked to the hall wearing rabbit pajamas and holding a pillow and quilt, he attracted the attention of many people, but Cheng Mo has always been immune to these gazes, and he has never felt embarrassed and embarrassed because of being watched, Cheng Mo put the pillow on the sofa as if no one was around, and then reclined and covered with the quilt.
In just two minutes, the Russian fat security guard yesterday ran over out of breath, looked at Cheng Mo's appearance, with an expression that wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and said helplessly: "Why are you still you? You won't be kicked out by your girlfriend again today, right?"
Cheng Mo shook his head and said in Russian: "I just like to sleep in the lobby!
The Russian fat security guard looked at Cheng Mo's shaking rabbit ears, shook his head, and said very seriously: "Sir, this is not good, this will damage the image of our hotel, you can sit here for a while, sleep..... It's absolutely impossible...."
Cheng Mo took out the prepared 10,000 rubles from his pocket, which was almost a thousand Huaxia coins, and stuffed it directly into the fat security guard's hand, "I'm a psycho, you don't care about me." β
The fat security guard looked at the expressionless face under Cheng Motu's ears, and then looked at the 10,000 rubles in his hand, and hurriedly stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, then wiped the sweat on his cheeks, and said softly: "Since you are sick, there is no way, our hotel is a particularly considerate hotel for customers, and we can understand you very well, so please rest well!"
"Thank you!" Cheng Mo said lightly.
After walking a few steps, the fat security guard turned back and asked, "Distinguished guest, do you need to help dim the lights in the hall?"
"No! I don't mind. β
"Okay, please get some rest!" the fat security guard gestured OK and walked towards the front desk.
Xie Minyun, who was hiding not far away, was very angry when she saw that the fat security guard was sent away so easily, but she was even more angry at Cheng Mo's cunning, biting her lip and secretly saying: "Cheng Mo, you are so shameless, you still pay bribes! Okay, I will be even more ruthless tomorrow!"
Xie Minyun walked back to the elevator with a straight face, and began to plan in his heart how to embarrass Cheng Mo tomorrow.
At the same time, Li Jiting sent a message to Cheng Mo, telling Cheng Mo to get ready, and he came to the door of the hotel on time at half past eleven to pick up Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo replied "Okay", then closed his eyes and quietly waited for half past eleven to come.

At 11:30 p.m. on July 31, 2018, half an hour before August 1, Cheng Mo appeared in the passenger seat of Li Jiting's Audi A4 car as Lin Zhinuo.
Li Jiting handed the map to Cheng Mo, "We have searched thirty-two places last night and during the day today, and now there are still fourteen places left, and we will strive to complete the search tonight....."
Cheng Mo opened the map and drew a black circle outside the red circle, which was obviously the location that had already been checked, and he didn't ask Li Jiting if he had any gains, but stared at the map and began to think again.
