With that said, Shun Jiayan pointed out the window again and said, "I'm going to get a room on the second floor of this hotel. Keep an eye on it from the window. If something happens, just say you're waiting for your friend to come downstairs. I still follow the first plan. Come."
"I understand." The driver said, "Go ahead."
Opening the car door, Shun Jiayan got down from the car, turned around and entered the cruise ship hotel with a foreign name. This hotel is not big, with a total of two floors. It is purely a place for the owner. Shun Jiayan opened a room on the second floor and walked up.
After entering, Shun Jiayan first looked at the window. OK, he could see the maintenance office more than a hundred meters away. Then Shun Jiayan moved a chair next to the window, lit a cigarette, and began to monitor.
All similar tasks, surveillance, and squatting, this type of work can be said to be the easiest and most troublesome work among all criminal investigations, counterintelligence, investigations, and special operations...
Surveillance and guarding are the easiest, because if you don't expose yourself, this kind of work has a relatively low risk factor. In addition, you don't have to run around the world, you just need to stay in a relatively fixed place.
But it's really troublesome. There is really no way to say when the target will appear. It's okay if the time is short, but if the time is long, you feel bored and can't move. You think it will be better to read a book, but the bad thing is that you can't do anything, let alone reading. You have to pay attention to targets that may appear at any time. Therefore, this superimposed sense of boredom can only be endured.
If there are two people, it can be better. Chatting and talking can be a lot better. Alone, that would feel very fucked up.
However, Shun Jiayan and the driver didn't feel this way, because they knew that today's surveillance would definitely have results. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.
Sure enough, it was more than an hour later. Shun Jiayan saw a few people walking out from the maintenance office, and two of them, one was wearing all black. Compared with some reference objects around him, he was about 1.7 meters tall. The other person was wearing a long gray windbreaker and was a little taller than the person dressed in black, about 1.75 meters tall.
Clothes and other physical features all matched up. Shun Jiayan immediately turned around and came to the door. He went downstairs and walked out of the hotel and got into the car.
While sitting in the passenger seat, five people, including the two targets, had already come out of the maintenance office and arrived on the other side of the road. They were talking to each other, and with their backs to Shun Jiayan, they were walking forward.
"They didn't drive a car." The driver said, "Should we get out of the car and follow them?"
Shun Jiayan thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I will follow you on foot and you will drive. You will see me follow you every time I turn a corner."
"Understood." The driver replied. Shun Jiayan got out of the car again, lit another cigarette for himself, and walked forward. Anyway, the five people with the target in front of him were still walking on this street and didn't turn a corner, so he was not in a hurry.
Smoking is definitely bad for your health if you smoke it too often. But everything has two sides. This gadget is a good thing for people who are following it, or for agents who are going somewhere. Because this thing can give you some small cover.
For example, when you turn a corner, you don’t want people to see what you look like, and you can’t wear a mask, which would make you more conspicuous. What to do? Just light up a cigarette and take a puff when you are about to turn. With your palms spread out, it is possible to cover a larger area with your palms.
This is just one of them, there are many situations where gadgets are useful. For example, every time Fan Keqin destroys some documents, you can light one to cover up the smell for a short time. Even if someone comes in suddenly, he knows that you are a smoker. At most, he will feel that you smoked very hard, but he will not suspect that you just burned the paper.
Of course, I’m talking about little tricks here. This is not to encourage smoking. After all, smoking is harmful to health. This is clearly written on the cigarette package.
This is what Shun Jiayan is like. No one taught him this little trick, he just summed it up himself. When taking a puff of a cigarette, turn around and look at the cigarette in your hand. After you put it down, your eyes can look in the direction you want without looking abrupt.
That's it, after two turns. Shun Jiayan saw five people in front of him. One of them pointed to a shop on the street, looking quite relaxed. Based on what Shun Jiayan observed when he just walked, he found that this group of people has always been in a hurry, so is it time to have lunch?
Sure enough, before taking two steps, the group of people turned around and walked into a restaurant with blue lanterns hanging, and they seemed to be chatting and laughing.
Shun Jiayan turned directly to a child buying cigarettes and asked, "How much do these cigarettes cost?" He glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and soon, five people entered directly. Shun Jiayan also bought a pack of cigarettes, and then looked across the street from the hotel.
There was a wonton restaurant opposite. Shun Jiayan looked back and saw that the car had turned in. Shun Jiayan touched his hair, then walked straight into the wonton restaurant.
After entering, Shun Jiayan ordered a bowl of wontons and ate them leisurely, and then asked the store owner what other things were in the store. After he finished eating, he smoked another cigarette, lingered for a while, and asked the store for two more food and drinks that could be taken away, so that he could continue to ink for a while.
This time he was very lucky. The store owner had just finished packing the shortbread, pancakes and other things he ordered, and he saw the five people from the restaurant opposite walking out again.
So Shun Jiayan stopped ink, paid the money happily, took the things out, and continued to follow the people at a distance on this side of the road.
This time, they followed these five people until they returned to the place where things were maintained. Watching them enter, Shun Jiayan returned to the side of the Hailun Hotel. After waiting for a while, the car drove back. Passing the packed things to the driver, he entered the hotel again, returned to his room, still sat on the chair, and began to monitor the situation in the maintenance area.
The two targets were not seen again throughout the afternoon, until about six o'clock in the evening. Only then did Shun Jiayan see the man wearing all black and a long gray trench coat walking out.
Shun Jiayan, just like before, immediately turned around and left the room and walked out of the hotel. However, the two targets were gone. There was just a car at the door of the Affairs Maintenance Office. It had started and was driving forward.
