After the shadow led Ye Qi through the unique old streets of Landingburg, they stopped in front of an open-air cafe. The shadow and Ye Qi walked straight in with a distance of about six or seven yards, one behind the other. The alley next to the cafe is located in the center of Fort Landing. Even in such a small alley, it is full of various shops.
"This is the place we agreed upon!"
When there were still about 20 yards away from the target location, Shadow pointed to one of the shops without a trace, lowered his head halfway and said that it was a shop that sold books and vinyl records, and in the shop In the closet, a hand-cranked gramophone for sale is placed there, attracting the attention of passers-by; especially when a black film is placed in it, the beautiful singing makes people in the alley not far away, They all walked in.
"Under what circumstances will the monster with a thousand faces come to the appointment?"
Ye Qi nodded, and then moved unobtrusively into the crowd, and at the same time, his voice came into the shadow's ears accurately. Attracts pedestrians in general. ..
"As long as I dine at the open-air cafe before and leave a corresponding code word!"
Shadow obviously doesn't know anything about vocal music. The beautiful singing voice and rhythmic coordination made him feel a little restless. The shadow of a killer was born, and what he likes most is to sit in a quiet place to meditate or practice martial arts. Even reading is ok, but the presence of any sound. Be it noise or music. This is all the same for quiet-loving shadows. It will only upset him.
"So, that Mr. Thousand-faced Monster likes the food in the cafe before! Let's go, let's go there separately, and then, I hope that Mr. Thousand-faced Monster can come on time!" Ye said. Qi signaled for Shadow to leave first, and Shadow, who had already felt restless, received Ye Qi's instructions. Immediately turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Ye Qi, however, stood quietly at the same spot, and after the entire broadcast of the vinyl record was over, he imitated the people around him and let out a long sigh. Regarding music, Ye Qi is no better than ordinary people. Mostly, he can only feel very simply whether it sounds good or bad. As for the art and the author's intentions, it is completely related to him; however, this does not prevent Ye Qi from imitating people who really understand. .
Several people in front of the cupboard, including Ye Qi, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at each other. Then, some turned and left. Others walked directly towards the shop, which was regarded as a kind greeting among fellow fans, while Ye Qi, who was mixed in during the period, walked into the shop under the friendly gaze of the few people left behind.
However, he was not going to spend money to buy the vinyl record as those few guessed, but took this opportunity to look at the whole shop. The whole shop started from the middle and divided into left and right sides in awe. All kinds of books, one side is full of vinyl records and several gramophones for sale; it is very clean and tidy, coupled with this clear layout, the whole shop gives people a comfortable feeling; at least, There aren't several posters or a single ostentatious banner to catch the eye here.
"What do you need sir?"
The employees of the shop obviously noticed that the man who entered the shop and began to look around was decently dressed and had a calm demeanor. Although his beard hadn't been carefully groomed, it had a hint of a mature man. Coupled with the friendly performance between the other party outside the cabinet and a few regular customers of the shop, this employee immediately labeled Ye Qi as a "true art master".
After all, the few people outside the cabinet were not just regular customers of the store, but also well-known musicians, singers, and performers in Landingburg; those who can make these people show kindness are naturally only those who really understand art. Rather than some so-called followers.
"The previous record, give me one!"
Ye Qi slowly said that after looking at the store for a while, if he walked out empty-handed, it would obviously cause unnecessary trouble; whether it is generosity or stinginess, in the eyes of such employees, they are all memorable.
"Eighty-five, sir!"
The employee nimbly took out the record that was played earlier and handed it to Ye Qi; Ye Qi took out ninety yuan and handed it to the other party, and made a sign that he didn't need to look for it. In such a store, five yuan Tips, neither too much nor too little, are just right.
"Thank you for your patronage!"
With a friendly smile on his face, the employee bowed and sent Ye Qi out of the gate.
Choosing such a place proves that Mr. Thousand-faced Monster knows a certain art and has a certain artistic accomplishment.
Walking out of the shop and seeing several customers entering behind him, Ye Qi silently thought that if he chose it as a concealment, the place would be unqualified in terms of location and passenger flow; One point, then the suspicion is based on his own hobbies or habits; coupled with some descriptions of the thousand-faced monster by the shadow, the other party suspects that he likes reading, singing, and musical instruments.
However, out of caution, the agreed meeting place has already been 'developed', so the investigation before the meeting must be extremely detailed!
And this kind of extremely meticulous investigation can't be done by one person; it will definitely require some people...
With this idea in mind, Ye Qi immediately turned around and walked out of the alley, and went straight into the open-air cafe. Because there are still a few hours before the noon meal, there are not many people in the entire open-air cafe. They are all tourists from other places and business owners with considerable assets to spend leisurely.
However, among this group of people, Ye Qi found two strange tourists. Although they were dressed as tourists, their eyes did not have the excitement and joy of traveling. Serious expression. But it looks like a spy of the military police rather than a tourist. And even spies. It is also the most unqualified kind.
layman!
After Ye Qi gave such an evaluation, he picked an empty table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
"What do you need sir?"
The waiter came up and asked.
"Give me a muffin and a cup of plain coffee!"
Ye Qi ordered himself a menu according to 'Finger''s recipe.
"Yes, sir!"
The waiter bowed and left, and Ye Qi's eyes looked around again without any trace. He remembered the two very obvious 'tourists' in his heart; however. Too much attention is to distinguish the real stalker of the other party; if only these two people are used, the other party is too bold, and it is simply a child's play with his own life.
Here's the bait!
Ye Qi is very clear about the positioning of these two too obvious tourists, and what he is looking for is definitely not a bait, but a real stalker. Ye Qi put the record he just bought on the table, holding a cup of coffee, and then the coffee cup A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A beggar squatting on the street opposite the cafe, and a busker performing violin not far from the beggar, both entered the scope of his investigation because there were no tall buildings in Fort Landing. Therefore, there are not many places where the entire cafe and the shop in the alley can be included in the eyes, except for the limited places of the cafe itself. Only the position of the beggar and busker on the opposite side.
Among them, the position of Mr. Beggar is a bit better; however, that drunken appearance, and the fluctuation of the same information that has been reflected from the inside, it is difficult for Ye Qi to believe that the other party is a stalker; The busker who played the violin but rarely looked at the money box in front of him, and his eyes scanned the cafes and alleys from time to time, was much more suspicious.
But even with this amateur stalker and those two completely unqualified guys, will Thousand Faces be at ease
Ye Qi put down the coffee and picked up the muffin and asked himself; the answer is yes, there must be a professional person around; however, the existence of this professional is not so easy to be discovered; at least, After eating half of Ye Qi's muffin, he still hasn't found any trace of the other party.
And at this time, sitting not far from Ye Qi's right, the shadow who was separated by three tables had already got up to check out; without meeting Ye Qi's eyes or making any gestures, the shadow turned around and entered the alley next to him again. , began to wait for the appearance of the thousand-faced monster. This was the agreement between him and Ye Qi. Just leave a code and tell the thousand-faced monster when to meet at the agreed place, and then go there and wait for the thousand-faced monster to arrive.
The rest will naturally be handed over to Ye Qi!
And when the figure of the shadow almost turned into the alley, the busker who was playing the violin on the opposite side ran over, flipped through the menu on the table, and compared the remaining food with the shadow of the thousand-faced monster. The price of food, of course, is only the simplest part of time; if you add other things, you need a professional password book as a basis.
"You bastard, you're making trouble again!"
The waiter who came to gesture tableware saw the busker flipping through the menu and couldn't help shouting that it was obviously not the first time the other party had done this, and this time it was suspected that the waiter's bottom line had been touched; very To be blunt, the waiter rolled up his sleeves and drove away the busker in front of him; however, it was very obvious that the busker didn't fully record everything he needed, and stood still for a long time.
"asshole!"
The busker's behavior was naturally regarded as a provocation to the angry waiter. He let out a low growl and threw a punch at the other party; and when the fist reached his face, the busker had After a little reaction, he instinctively wanted to dodge; but without systematic training and corresponding actual combat; as an ordinary person, it was impossible for a busker to dodge this punch as smoothly as he imagined.
boom!
Amidst the muffled sound, the busker who was hit on the shoulder took several steps back again and again; then, frowning because of the pain, he looked at the waiter in front of him, his face was obviously flushed with anger; however, this The busker suspected that he was a person who kept the agreement. He gave the waiter in front of him a vicious look, then ran back to his booth, packed his things and walked away.
"Inexplicable guy! Still a coward!"
After punching. The waiter thought that a one-on-one fight was inevitable. But the opponent retreated. This made the waiter who was just getting ready couldn't help cursing in a low voice; and this skirmish naturally attracted the interest of the people present, especially the tourists who were doing good things asked the waiter loudly; Ye Qi Although he also joined it, but through the fluctuations that have been locked on the busker.
When the other party was about to go beyond the range of 100 yards at the moment, Ye Qi paid the bill to the waiter who was still spitting and introduced the busker before, chose to leave the open-air cafe, and chased after the busker in the direction that the busker left. Ye Qi's tracking and searching skills are not very good; however, under the premise of having it, if Ye Qi knows about the fluctuation in advance. So within the scope of the range, Ye Qi is undoubtedly an excellent tracker.
Under normal circumstances, the limit of the human body is within a hundred yards, and Ye Qi basically uses a distance of 80 to 90 yards as the tracking distance; at such a distance, let alone an ordinary busker After all, most of the time, people's best line of sight is always limited to within forty yards. Once it exceeds this range, the target will be difficult to see because of the sight. Pursue; even a trained existence. It is only within this range, and then increase it by about ten yards.
certainly. If it is some well-known sharpshooters or clairvoyance, this range can be increased, but it will still not exceed the range of about sixty yards; and once it exceeds this range, considerable strength is needed as a support; however, Even with such eyesight, it is not so easy to find Ye Qi who is following him. A radius of 100 yards is enough for Ye Qi to find a fairly safe tracking method that does not startle the enemy.
But in fact, such a method is simply too talented to deal with an ordinary busker!
After the busker abducted into a hotel, the other party did not notice Ye Qi's existence. The other party apparently entered a room and had a conversation with someone who was already waiting in the room; When the entertainer came out again, the hurried expression before was replaced by a face full of joy. Looking at the other party's bulging waist, it was not difficult to know that the other party had a satisfactory harvest.
About five minutes after the busker left, a man dressed like a foreign tourist, but with vigorous steps and a strong body appeared in Ye Qi's sight ; and the fluctuation of the other party's response is higher than that of ordinary people, coupled with the other party's behavior, it is suspected to explain the source of the other party's identity: a dark mercenary.
The one with the unique fluctuations of magic props is enough for Ye Qi to distinguish it carefully.
This dark mercenary obviously has a more mature route than a busker and the means to prevent being followed. After switching two cars in a row, and repeatedly entering the most crowded pedestrian streets in Fort Landing, this dark mercenary Only then did he embark on a more accurate route. The other party's destination was close to the outskirts of Fort Landing. Not far behind the remnant old city gate of Fort Landing, this man stopped and stood In front of a house on the side of the road, I waited quietly.
And Ye Qi also followed the other party and waited patiently for the appearance of the thousand-faced monster; however, as time passed, Ye Qi frowned involuntarily. According to the signal given by the shadow, the time they agreed on was noon. It was twelve o'clock, and it was less than half an hour away from this time. Even if the thousand-faced monster set off from here, it would be impossible to arrive at the agreed time.
was found!
This was Ye Qi's most direct thought at the moment, and the next moment he saw the dark mercenary he followed all the way suddenly return the same way with a relaxed face, it proved his guess; almost without any hesitation, Ye Qi Qi ran towards the shop he had been to the first time.
When he entered the shop, the shop clerk who asked him earlier came up immediately
"Welcome to visit again!"
The employee gave a slight back with a professional smile, took out a vinyl record, and handed it to the front of his eyes: "This is left to you by a friend of yours, and he also paid for it." Enough money to rent a listening room for you, where you can try this record, and according to your friend, this is the record you have been waiting for for a long time!"
After nodding his head, Ye Qi followed the employee and walked towards the inner hall of the store. Following the introduction of the enthusiastic employee, Ye Qi went straight into one of the listening rooms, and closed the reinforced soundproof door. After closing it, Ye Qi immediately put the vinyl record on the phonograph in the room.
"Mr. Finger, this is the first time I've talked to you! I'm so sorry..."
With a trace of apologetic words that could not be distinguished from the true to the false, as the vinyl record turned, it came out from the gramophone.
