The night was dark, it was past 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and Lao Hui and I were still wandering on a street famous for its snacks. We were not much different from those people who were drunk and lingering on the street in the middle of the night.
Lao Hui put a hand on my shoulder, still in his usual style, wearing a t-shirt, shorts, slippers, staggering, and holding a bottle of beer in his hand. He took a sip from time to time, just like the real thing. Usually drunk.
And my image wasn't much better. I had my plaid shirt stuffed casually into the bag on my denim shorts, and I was wearing a vest, which was deliberately pulled up to expose my belly. I was also carrying a bottle of wine, and my steps were staggering.
People who don’t know, think that the two of us are standard drunkards.
After taking a sip of wine, I whispered in Lao Hui's ear: "There's nothing wrong with my appearance, right?"
Lao Hui whispered: "These days, Taoist priests have to be professional when they are agents. Believe in my makeup skills, this is a 'required course'. If I don't rely on sensing your aura, just by looking at you, I will even have seen you." Yan Yi, he is a cultivator, does he have a good memory? I guarantee that he will not be able to recognize you even if he stands in front of you."
"I mean, I x, why did you make me so ugly? I'm embarrassed to walk on the street!" I pretended to be drunk and drank while gnashing my teeth and cursing Lao Hui.
"I x, are you going to seduce Lu Fan Mingma? Why do you have to be so handsome?" Lao Hui replied to me unceremoniously.
I was speechless and glanced sideways at a nearby food stall. It was bustling with people and the business was extremely good. But what I was staring at was one of the empty tables. No one was sitting on that table yet.
If an outsider sees this scene, he will definitely be surprised why there are so many people waiting for a seat at the food stall, but an empty table is left for no one to sit. You must know that this roadside stall is famous for its crayfish. , many out-of-towners come here to eat because of its reputation. Would the boss still leave an empty table because there are so many people
But those who often eat in this snack street will know that this is already a tradition of this food stall. The empty table is said to be reserved for a certain extremely wealthy man.
That big shot is Lu Fanming!
According to the information, Lu Fanming is a vigilant person by nature. He has reserved a floor in the company office, and that floor is full of surveillance cameras. It is almost impossible to investigate him in the company, and in the company What about other aspects? It is even more difficult because he has no less than five official residences in this city. According to reliable sources, he has rented many houses and some unexposed residences.
Follow him? It's even more impossible, not to mention not sure whether he will go to the company or when. Even if he happens to be in the company, when he leaves, more than three identical cars will leave at the same time, and he may not be in the car. Maybe he left through another exit. How do you keep track
The so-called cunning rabbit's three burrows, Lu Fanming didn't know there were dozens of burrows! How to investigate this
Lao Hui and I analyzed this person. If there wasn't something shady, how could this person make himself worse than an agent? Therefore, we may gain a lot from him.
The above asked us to investigate this person directly, which is also the meaning. Since we burned down the warehouse, this investigation is no longer a matter of alerting the snake, but a matter of grabbing time on the surface, so it is also a matter of catching the snake. Seven inches means to completely settle the investigation here.
But Lu Fanming was obviously a tough nut to crack, and he was so cautious that even ordinary people wouldn't be able to take action.
But behind our operation this time was the cooperation of an entire department, so our investigative capabilities were extremely strong. So a weakness in Lu Fanming that was not a weakness surfaced, and that was that Lu Fanming had a persistent obsession with food. preferences.
People living in this world need a little fun to support them. As a man, Lu Fanming does not smoke, do not drink, and is not greedy for sex. Even having fun is limited to necessary social activities. If he does not have a lover of food, Fun, I'm afraid life is boring.
As long as a person has a hobby, that hobby can be regarded as a weakness, that is, a breakthrough point.
Lu Fanming loves to eat. After coming to this city, his special preference is this food stall selling crayfish. It used to be a roadside stall. After Lu Fanming ate it once and felt amazing, he decided to eat it the second time. Tian sent someone to give the boss a sum of money and asked the boss to rent three connected storefronts on this street.
He only has one request, that is, no matter whether he comes or not at any time, the boss must leave an empty table for him.
This is the only breaking point between me and Lao Hui.
At this time, there was no one on the empty table. After I took a look, I pretended to curse and dragged the old man back to wait for a seat, as if he didn’t enjoy the drink. The so-called full set of acting, the reason why the old man and I chose to pretend to drink It's just to cover up when you're older.
After all, a person's actions can never be flawless. For example, if you observe others, others will definitely notice it. But if you drink too much, you can naturally stare at others unscrupulously. Most people are You won't argue with a drunkard, not to mention being drunk, any of your actions can be explained.
"It won't be a failure, right?" Lao Hui took a bold sip of wine, and the liquid flowed down the corner of his mouth. His eyes were blurred and he looked very embarrassed, but his tone was unusually sober.
"No, before we set off, didn't the department specially send a piece of information? It's summer now, and Lu Fanming comes to eat crayfish very frequently, and this person is too vigilant. He only needs to come to eat crayfish. , they would always send some of their men to explore the surroundings, and then eat crayfish at this food stall before he came to eat, in order to protect him from escaping at the critical moment. Can you tell..." I also whispered. Lao Hui said, smiling stupidly as he spoke. In the eyes of others, I seemed to be talking drunkenly to Lao Hui.
"I can see that the people sitting around the empty table in this food stall are very alert. They don't look like they are here to eat at all. They are always observing the surroundings. They don't drink or talk to each other! Then We are so lucky today. We met Lu Fanming as soon as we came out. Are you good? How did you tell?" Lao Hui said in surprise, of course he still looked like a drunkard on the surface.
"Nonsense, I've been quietly observing this place since the street corner. Do you think it's okay if I don't gain anything?" I said to the old man, not forgetting to urge the boss: "We came from other places. Is it easy to come here? Boss, how long do we have to wait for this position?"
The way I yelled caused many people to frown in disgust. Lu Fanming's people also looked at me a few times, but their eyes didn't care, and they even looked down upon a drunkard like me.
What you want is this effect. In fact, when investigating a person, you really can't deliberately keep a low profile. At some point, you must deliberately keep a high profile.
This is a lesson Xiaobei taught me before I set off. Lao Hui said that even if Xiaobei doesn't have the skills of a Taoist priest, he is definitely an extremely qualified agent.
The owner of this food stall is a good old man. He quickly came to comfort me and Lao Hui, and handed us a cigarette by the way. During this exchange, one of us was a little fat, wearing a pair of metal-framed glasses, and looked at A clean and honest person came to this food stall.
As soon as he approached, the boss who was still talking to me and Lao Hui quickly gave us a smile and went to the man's side. The people sitting around the empty table were obviously a little more wary. At the same time, There was a respectful expression on his face.
Facing the boss's unusually warm greeting, the man showed a harmless smile. He looked enthusiastic and honest. While chatting casually with the boss, he walked into the food stall.
Lao Hui and I were drinking and laughing, but at the same time our eyes fell on that man. Even if we looked at him unscrupulously, he didn't mind, and even looked back at the two of us "drunkards" with a kind smile.
Yes, this person who is wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and carrying a briefcase, looks like an honest, honest and ordinary person, is Lu Fanming. That information requires the most careful investigation, and there is almost no trace of it. Weak guy.
Lu Fanming walked straight to the empty table and sat down. Without saying anything, the boss brought him a plate of crispy peanuts and ice-cold sour plum wine, and poured it for Lu Fanming himself. Served a drink.
According to the information, this guy doesn't drink wine from outside. He got this sour plum wine from somewhere and stored it at the boss's place. He seems to enjoy it.
Speaking of which, Lu Fanming also has a weakness that can be said to be an advantage, that is, although his whereabouts are unpredictable, he is extremely punctual. If he wants to come to this food stall to eat, he will usually be at Between 10:30 and 12:00, it will never exceed this range.
The time to eat here is definitely only about forty minutes, and it will not exceed this time range.
Lao Hui and I were a little hasty in our preparations, so we were immediately embarrassed that we were pressed for time. After all, we didn’t expect that Lu Fanming would come at around 10:40 today, and Lao Hui and I hadn’t waited for our seats yet. .
But he only had forty minutes to eat! There was a lot to do in forty minutes, but we didn’t get a seat and every move was under surveillance. Don't act rashly!
Thinking of this, I suddenly got quick wits, dragged Lao Hui and rushed directly towards the food stall, where Lu Fanming was sitting.
