Magnolia Street.
Sun Xiangbin felt like a fool.
He had no idea where to start his investigation.
Where is the person you are looking for?
Could it have been evacuated?
It's all blank.
They all have to look like a fool, searching aimlessly.
Stupid method?
The stupid method worked the first time, but what about the second time?
Or even, could Seko Kusamori get off the bus at Magnolia Street on purpose and then hail a car again?
Sun Xiangbin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But there's one thing he hasn't lost:
Fighting spirit!
He was also an agent of the Fuxing Society who solved countless crimes.
He had been idle for so many years and now he was back on the scene. He knew very well that he could lose everything but his fighting spirit.
Here, there are people selling fruits, setting up stalls, shaving hair, and sharpening knives.
There are all kinds of small businesses and everything.
Sun Xiangbin bought a pack of cigarettes and went to a small stall to order a copy.
While eating, I observed everyone around me.
After finishing his portion, he got up, went to a small tea shop, and asked for a pot of tea.
This kind of small tea shop is a shed with two tables in the open air.
After drinking tea there, Sun Xiangbin's eyes suddenly fell on a person:
Knife sharpener!
No, this person has been sitting there since the first time I saw him when I entered Magnolia Street.
And, there’s no buying or selling!
He sharpened the same kitchen knife over and over again!
A knife-sharpener cannot stay in one place for a long time without doing business.
Walking around the streets, shouting loudly, and soliciting business is what they should do!
Moreover, this person has been quietly observing the surroundings.
There must be something wrong with this person!
He got up, paid the bill, went to the small grocery store nearby and bought a kitchen knife.
Then, walked up to the sharpener:
"Master, speak up."
The knife sharpener took it without saying a word.
Grinding very hard!
That's not how the knife is opened!
He is grinding flat!
Flat grinding on the left, grinding on the right!
Especially don’t grind it sideways!
He is just doing it!
Knife sharpening is a seemingly simple task, but if you haven’t learned it, you will definitely not be able to master vertical sharpening!
Sun Xiangbin remained calm. After he sharpened the knife, he took it and tried it. He looked very satisfied and paid.
He walked away slowly, avoiding the sight of the knife sharpener, and suddenly turned back and came to the only place with a phone here, the grocery store.
He dialed the phone: "I'm looking for Boss Cai. Boss Cai, I, Manager Sun, the goods you requested have arrived. Ah, okay, I'm on Magnolia Street. I'll wait for you to go see the goods together."
He hung up the phone and walked to the other side where he could not easily be found, staring at the knife sharpener and the room next to him.
However, what Sun Xiangbin didn't know was that there was also a pair of eyes staring at him:
The shopkeeper of that grocery store!
The shopkeeper calmly took out a white towel and placed it on the counter.
Then, he moved out a long bench and placed it outside the shop door.
This is a way to attract business, specifically for people to sit at.
Everything looks normal.
Nothing could be more normal!
However, the "sharpener" saw it.
He remained silent, still lowering his head and sharpening the knife vigorously!
…
"Assemble, all carry weapons, Sun Xiangbin was found there."
Meng Shaoyuan put down the phone, shouted outside, "Who is the surveillance post on Magnolia Street?"
"Hao Minde!"
"Let him bear arms and help!"
"He doesn't recognize Sun Xiangbin!"
"Fart, if he doesn't know who to help, he's going to be a surveillance sentry!"
…
A rickshaw arrived at Magnolia Street.
The man pulling the cart was Torataro Masuyama.
The person in the car was Seko Kusamori.
This is their daily job for the time being.
Seko Kusamori must be familiar with every road in Chongqing.
"problem occurs!"
Masuyama Torataro immediately saw the bench outside the grocery store and the white towel on the counter.
"Walk!"
Seko Kusamori said only one word.
The rickshaw didn't stop at all and just drove away from here.
…
The knife grinder breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rickshaw passing by on the other side of the road.
He began to close the stall.
…
No, the knife sharpener is leaving!
He is not a sharpener, he is responsible for monitoring this place and protecting the people in the house around him.
But why did he leave suddenly?
What went wrong?
Sun Xiangbin didn't have time to think about it.
He stood up quickly: "Hey, Master."
He quickly followed.
The sharpener stopped: "What's the matter?"
"You didn't sharpen the knife correctly." Sun Xiangbin raised the kitchen knife in his hand: "Sharpen it again!"
The knife sharpener took out the money that Sun Xiangbin had just given to him from his pocket: "Refund your money. My wife is sick and I am in a hurry to go home."
"That won't work, I'm in a hurry to use the knife!"
Sun Xiangbin blocked his way.
"Okay, okay, I'll grind it for you!"
The knife sharpener slowly lowered the bench.
Suddenly, he slammed the stool towards Sun Xiangbin.
Sun Xiangbin had been on guard for a long time. He ducked aside and then struck the opponent's right door with his knife.
The knife-sharpener screamed miserably, and regardless of the blood flowing out, he reached into his clothes!
Sun Xiangbin wanted to catch him alive, so he jumped up, hugged him and threw him to the ground.
Everyone on the side was dumbfounded, and no one dared to step forward.
Just as the two were entangled, the shopkeeper of the grocery store took out a pistol.
He walked out of the shop, rushed to the two people who were lying on the ground, and pointed his gun at Sun Xiangbin!
The moment his finger pressed on the trigger, there was a "bang" and the gunshot rang out first.
The shopkeeper fell to the ground.
At this time, Sun Xiangbin also pinned the knife sharpener to the ground.
The shooter was a young man in his twenties.
He rushed to Sun Xiangbin:
"spring breeze!"
"Yumen!" Sun Xiangbin panted.
The young man's gun was immediately aimed at Mo Dao's head:
"If you move again, I'll beat you to death!"
The knife sharpener was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he tried his best to put his mouth to the collar.
"He's going to kill himself!"
Sun Xiangbin immediately realized something was wrong.
The young man stepped forward and punched him in the face.
While he was in pain, he put away the gun and used another force with his hands, which directly dislocated the sharpening jaw.
At this point, the sharpener can no longer struggle.
The young man took off the belt from the waist of the knife sharpener, and worked together with Sun Xiangbin to tie up the knife sharpener behind his back.
Sun Xiangbin tore off the collar of the knife sharpener and put it inside. Sure enough, I found a pill.
He sat down with his butt on the ground and felt that he had no strength at all.
Good guy, I cut the sharpener first, but it still took so much effort.
Almost made him commit suicide.
"Who are you?" Sun Xiangbin remembered to ask at this time.
"Hao Minde, from the Magnolia Street surveillance post, just received the order."
The young man replied: "In this case, my mission as a surveillance post is gone."
"If it's gone, it's gone. Follow me from now on."
Sun Xiangbin stood up from the ground, walked to the grocery store manager, checked and found that he was dead.
It's a pity, it's a pity that I couldn't catch another one alive!
