Meng Shaoyuan was pushing a cart selling pear candy, seemingly walking aimlessly while hawking.
Shi Yongfu and Cao Ruicheng followed from a distance, and no one knew what the officer was going to do.
The pear candy business is not doing well, not at all.
Now, who in Shanghai still has the heart to buy these snacks?
It’s hard to think about how to survive.
However, no one knew what was going on in the young master's mind at this time.
Zhang Liao goes out once a week.
Leave at 7 am and come back at 12 noon.
What did he do with these five hours?
Zhang Liao is very disciplined in both work and life.
People who do a job like his have rules for everything they do.
Coming out of the Shanghai District Headquarters of the Juntong Bureau on Yalpe Road, there are mostly banks and the like on the road.
Zhang Liao would not be interested in this.
He wants to have breakfast.
There are breakfast shops near the Shanghai District Headquarters of the Military Unification Bureau, but most of them are dressed as agents.
With Zhang Liao's character, he would definitely not eat there.
Zhang Liao's walking speed was not fast but very steady.
According to his speed, he would be able to see several breakfast shops in about fifteen minutes' walk.
He won't eat from the stalls.
That's too "bright".
In his line of work, he doesn't like to be exposed to the sun.
When he is at the headquarters, he doesn't even like to go out to the yard to do some activities during his free time.
He was not used to the feeling of eating at a stall without any obstruction.
He would go to the store to eat.
A noodle shop and a breakfast shop.
Zhang Liao doesn't like eating noodles.
He will go to the breakfast shop.
A bowl of porridge, maybe with an egg?
Zhang Liao is not a person who wastes time.
You can finish your breakfast in five minutes.
At this time, Meng Shaoyuan was calculating every step Zhang Liao might take!
Every point!
His brain is at full power, like a high-speed machine!
Every detail must not be missed!
Every place Zhang Liao may have walked and every thing Zhang Liao may have done cannot be missed!
…
Unless forced to do so, Zhang Liao would not choose to take a rickshaw.
He felt like it was a moving target.
Moreover, the fate seems to be in the hands of the rickshaw driver.
He is going out privately and will not use the car in the work unit.
Therefore, this journey must be done on foot.
There are two roads ahead.
Go right, heading towards Jing'an Temple.
Can you imagine that people like Zhang Liao would go to shopping malls there and eat snacks there?
Even if he did, five hours wouldn't be enough for him on foot.
left!
Meng Shaoyuan didn't wear a watch. He was always counting the time in his mind.
Sometimes, I would ask passers-by for the time.
If you go, you must come back.
So, his journey would take at most two and a half hours.
Meng Shaoyuan's pace is almost the same as Zhang Liao's.
It should be near this area.
At every fork in the road, Meng Shaoyuan used Zhang Liao's thinking to consider what choice he would make.
For example, now, it’s time to make a choice again.
To the left is a slum, with dirty water flowing across it, and the smell of corruption coming uncontrollably.
An uncle grabbed a rat that had just been killed from the dilapidated house and threw it outside.
An aunt took the dregs of medicine, took a few steps forward, and poured it on the ground.
According to superstition, whoever steps on these medicinal residues will spread the disease of the sick person to himself, and the sick person's body will be cured.
Therefore, this immediately caused another aunt to curse.
A quarrel started.
Zhang Liao would not come to such a noisy environment.
Also, it's so dirty here.
Every successful and excellent executioner actually loves to be clean.
Because they have to face the blood of the torture chamber every day, they are unwilling to face this in their lives.
Zhang Liao had to wash his hands twice every time he was tortured.
left?
In such an environment, there is a high probability that he will not come.
What about the right side?
A little further along, there is also a residential area.
But no matter in every aspect, it is much better than the left hand.
If his judgment was correct all the way, then why did Zhang Liao come to the residential area?
Meng Shaoyuan pushed the trolley and arrived at the residential area on the right.
Outsiders can't imagine what this seemingly dull "goodsman" is thinking in his mind at this time!
He has divided this place into several areas.
Zhang Liao had no friends, relatives or friends in Shanghai.
Even if there were, he wouldn't trust it.
He did not come here to visit relatives or friends.
People who live in this area have a lot of money, and their houses are prettier than others.
Zhang Yang was a little nervous.
This area looks nice, but there are a few dogs.
Zhang Liao doesn't like dogs, not at all!
So, that's all that's left.
They are all occupied by office workers, including banks and companies. There are many tenants.
It's quieter here.
And during the day, most people go to work.
Meng Shaoyuan saw an aunt and immediately walked over: "Sister-in-law, I want to rent a house here. Do you know where to rent it?"
"I finally asked." The aunt is a local and speaks authentic Shanghainese: "There is a pavilion upstairs in Ala, and the price is always cheaper."
The vacant houses here are divided into several rooms and rented to different people.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled naively: "Sister-in-law, actually, it is a relative of mine who wants to rent. He has some money and doesn't like to share the rent with others, so..."
As he said that, he took out a note from his pocket and gave it to the aunt: "My relatives said that as long as you rent it, there will be benefits."
The aunt smiled happily: "Come, I will take you to the Zhou family's sister-in-law to ask."
…
"Yes, there is one." The Zhou family's sister-in-law said as soon as she heard Ming's intention, "But it has been rented a long time ago."
"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, isn't your house always unoccupied?" the aunt asked.
"Ah, the Lu family's sister-in-law, the person who rented the house paid the rent for a year in one go. She doesn't come often, maybe once a week. It's been a long time since she came this time. I gave her all the money in the world. , I can’t rent it to others anymore.”
Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "There are such strange people. Sister-in-law, please eat some pear candy."
"Thank you."
The Zhou family's sister-in-law ate a piece of pear slice candy and said: "Old weirdo, he doesn't talk much, he has a stern face, and he looks quite intimidating. But he is very happy with the relationship. He doesn't even ask for anything, and he doesn't want me either. Add something.
When he paid the copper coins, he paid a little more and said that he would add a ladder to the back window. He said that sometimes he likes to go out for a walk in the middle of the night for fear of disturbing others. He said, "Are there such weird people?" "
Yes, of course!
However, that ladder is not for walking.
Rather, it is used for escape in case of emergency.
This man is not strange.
Just full of vigilance.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
He knew that this time, he was looking in the right direction again!
