Chapter 125: The Fisherman
"Long time no see" is a small café that opens on a pedestrian street.
The décor is characteristic, designed, and most importantly, there are floor-to-ceiling windows that allow you to see the cash register and most of the store.
When Xiang Kun arrived at the neighboring city, it was already early in the morning, the café had just closed, and the pedestrian street had very little traffic.
Because he was photographed by various surveillance cameras in the middle of the night, and then regarded as a "vigilant policeman" by Officer Chen, he is now more "sensitive" to surveillance cameras, and will pay attention to avoid some, take the blind spot of surveillance, or not let his face be photographed.
Of course, in a relatively prosperous city, it is difficult to completely avoid all surveillance and not let yourself "get into the picture".
In addition to various road monitoring and security monitoring, there are also monitoring installed in various shops, communities, office buildings, parking lots and other places. Even if the official wants to check, you can also find the car passing by and the dashcam through other surveillance videos, and check the video on the dashcam, or there happens to be someone next to you who is taking Douyin, taking a selfie and sending WeChat, it is possible to inadvertently take a photo.
So Xiang Kun also made a little basic disguise, got a wig to wear, and then wore a peaked cap, at least to cover up the biggest feature of his bald head. Then I took the glasses, and the whole person's temperament will change a little compared with usual.
Xiang Kun sat down on a bench on the edge of a park across the pedestrian street, the light here was relatively dim and unnoticeable, he sat there in dark clothes, unless he approached, he couldn't find anyone sitting there.
His gaze was locked on the entrance to the pedestrian street, which naturally had more than one entrance, but three of them were all thinking about his side. And whether it is someone who is familiar with the coffee shop, or who finds the store through the location of a map app, the direction of entering the pedestrian street must be the entrance he is looking at.
If the vampire behind the "August Kasumi" ID is ready to come over to meet him, he will definitely rush over as quickly as possible, observe the situation here first, and even find a helper to do an ambush.
If it were him, he would wonder if the other party was here and was temporarily living in a nearby building, such as a clerk in a certain store.
So he was here to watch, making a quick observation of the people entering the pedestrian street, to determine whether there was a suspicious target, and whether he would directly lock on to the vampire who rushed over to "step on the spot".
At this distance, the smell was already a bit unpleasant, so he couldn't judge the smell like the special smell on the "giant owl", but this was also a kind of self-protection, because he couldn't be sure if the other party had a similar sensory boost and could smell him.
Of course, if the other party's sensory ability is much, much stronger than him, and he can detect it from such a distance, then he has to run away immediately, and he has several escape plans anyway.
Xiang Kun sat until about 9 o'clock in the morning, when the pedestrian street began to increase and most of the shops began to open.
He didn't see a very obvious suspicious target, there were several suspicious targets, but he only made a mark in his head for the time being, and did not rush to follow it.
It's also possible that the other party hasn't arrived in the city yet, or hasn't rushed to get there, or has other ways to get to know what's going on around the target.
It is even possible that the other party felt that it was dangerous after thinking about it, and directly released the Xiang Kun pigeon.
Of course, Xiang Kun also thought about whether this "vampire" really wanted to make friends, but from the analysis of various information, this possibility is very slim, and it should be similar to the probability of him being struck by lightning now.
Xiang Kun got up and went directly into the pedestrian street.
After the flow of people rises, there is no point in guarding the street gate anymore, and it is difficult to make an effective judgment with limited information and too rough observation.
At 10:20, he entered a beverage shop, ordered a drink and sat in the doorway.
It's still a long way from the "long time no see" café, and you'll have to turn a corner to see it, but it's a must-go if you go straight to the café from just outside the pedestrian street. Unless you take a detour to visit other parts of this pedestrian street, you will go in other directions.
Xiang Kun is narrowing his observation circle little by little, ensuring his observation efficiency while carefully collecting information.
He had already assumed in his mind that the "vampire" also had sensory abilities similar to his.
Whoever can discover the other first will be able to occupy a greater initiative and be more secure.
Xiang Kun wanted to ensure that even if both parties smelled each other at the same time, he would be able to lock the specific location of the other party first.
He kept an eye on everyone in the blue shirt, male or female. Of course, if he was in a different position, he would definitely not come to the meeting himself, but find someone in blue clothes to be the bait first, and he would observe on the side first.
At 1:35 p.m., Xiang Kun arrived at the crane machine shop not far from the "Long Time No See" café, and sat in front of the outermost machine, but his face rushed in the opposite direction of the café, only observing through the mirror reflection of the metal trim on an advertising board next to the door of the crane machine shop.
Even with Xiang Kun's eyesight, he could only observe the general situation in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the café from the reflection mirror.
However, he does not rely solely on visual observation, but uses vision to assist in the localization of sound and smell.
At 1:46 p.m., a young woman wearing a blue T-shirt, a ball head, and skinny jeans passed by the crane machine shop, and Xiang Kun quickly passed through the reflection of the metal trim plate to determine that she had walked into the "long time no see" café, and after ordering a drink at the front desk, she sat down by the window.
Thinking back to the smell on her body when she just passed by, the perfume smell was relatively strong, but it didn't smell pungent, it should be a more high-end type, and she vaguely smelled smoke, and it was the type of women's smoke. There was also a hint of a new t-shirt on the dress, which was apparently newly bought and unwashed.
Judging by the smell, she shouldn't be a mutant creature, not a vampire.
And the work and rest should not be very regular, the physical condition is average, the stomach is not very good, a little pelvic forward tilt, the left leg Achilles tendon or ankle seems to be injured, the center of gravity of walking is slightly to the right, the mobile phone is held in the hand, the phone case is inlaid with rhinestones, the long nails are also made embossed manicures, and the satchel with the sound of keys and other sundries rubbing against each other.
Xiang Kun immediately determined that she was neither a vampire, nor was she the one who chatted with her with the ID "August Kasumi" across the screen, and people who were good at using computers, even if they did nail art, they were not very good at having such long nails, and it was inconvenient to type on the keyboard.
However, she wore a specially bought blue T-shirt, and appeared in the "Long Time No See" café at this time, and bought two drinks by herself, so nine out of nine were arranged to "face-to-face" with Xiang Kun.
Xiang Kun didn't look back and directly observe the woman in blue sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window for more information, but instead shifted his attention away from her, focusing on the people around him.
The bait appeared, so would the fisherman be far away?
