Living in hiding for a long time made Wang Jiuxin, who was alone, eager to communicate with his companions. The glance he was looking at his companion at this moment was just out of habit, but he didn't want this scene to be seen by Lao Fu, who was paying attention to them. There is indeed something wrong with these two people! Lao Fu, who clearly saw this scene, was secretly happy. After following Wang Jiuxin for such a long time, he finally made a new discovery. Seeing the signal sent by Lao Fu at this moment, one of the tracking team members who was in the casino immediately turned around and left the casino.
Lao Fu entered the casino with only a group of tracking team members. The others were still waiting outside the casino. With the new discovery, Lao Fu decided to allocate half of his team to track the newly discovered middle-aged gambler. Everything seemed to be going well. Lao Fu's tracking team successfully watched the middle-aged gambler disappear into the night, and Wang Jiuxin never left Lao Fu's sight. Having watched Wang Jiuxin return to his residence without going out again, Lao Fu became even more convinced that the middle-aged gambler was Wang Jiuxin's accomplice.
When Tang Cheng got the news, Lao Fu's tracking team had already followed the middle-aged gambler and appeared near the pier. "Uncle, something seems wrong to me. We have already walked through this intersection once. Is this guy deliberately taking us in a circle?" Ma Xiaohai, nicknamed Manzi, is only fifteen years old this year, but he is on the search team. Among all the tracking team members, he is one of the five who have never missed.
Ma Xiaohai teamed up with his uncle and followed the middle-aged gambler all the way, but Ma Xiaohai suddenly realized something was wrong. Ma Biao paused when Ma Xiaohai stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve. Then he looked around with a suspicious look on his face. Ma Xiaohai who reminded him was his nephew, so Ma Biao naturally would not suspect that Ma Xiaohai was joking with him. , he looked around, just to make sure he remembered the intersection in front of him.
Sure enough, after Ma Biao looked around, he confirmed that the two of them had indeed walked through this intersection. what to do? Should we continue to track the target, or stop and wait for others to arrive? Ma Biao's thinking did not last long. In just a few breaths, he walked forward again. Seeing that Ma Biao did not change his mind, Ma Xiaohai felt helpless and could only follow Ma Biao and continue walking forward, but he was always cautious in his heart.
The tracked target has the behavior of repeating its travel route. There are two possibilities for this behavior. One is a tracked target that has discovered that it is being tracked and repeats its route just to confirm and get rid of tracking. Another possibility is that the tracked target did not realize that it was being followed, and repeating the route was just an instinctive behavior and a manifestation of caution. Ma Xiaohai didn't know if the middle-aged gambler had realized that he was being followed. Since backup hadn't arrived yet, he and Ma Biao could only continue to follow him.
Ma Xiaohai and the two continued to walk forward behind the middle-aged gambler. After passing a street intersection, the middle-aged gambler they were following suddenly turned into a tavern on the street. "I'll go in, you stay outside!" Ma Biao didn't say much, he just told his nephew, adjusted the dagger in his waist, and then entered the tavern unhurriedly. Ma Xiaohai was left outside the tavern, but he was not idle either. He immediately used the chalk he carried with him to leave marks on the wall on the street.
When Ma Biao walked into the tavern, he immediately saw the middle-aged gambler, but this middle-aged gambler was talking quietly with the tavern owner. As soon as Ma Biao entered the tavern, it was impossible for him to immediately approach the tavern keeper and eavesdrop on the conversation between the tavern keeper and the middle-aged gambler. After casually ordering two side dishes and a bottle of wine, Ma Biao found himself a table facing the store door and sat down. Ma Biao's position and direction did not allow him to directly see the middle-aged gambler.
But if you pay attention to the direction Ma Biao is looking at at this moment, you can find that Ma Biao is looking through the reflection of the glass above the tavern door, and you can vaguely see the body movements of the tavern manager behind him while he is talking to the gambler in the middle. Ma Biao seemed to be no different from other drinkers in the tavern, but he secretly observed every move of the tavern owner and middle-aged gamblers behind him from the glass reflection above the tavern door.
Ma Xiaohai, who was left outside the tavern by Ma Biao, soon waited for another group of tracking members who came after him. After briefly explaining his previous findings and the fact that the target entered the tavern to the backup who arrived, Ma Xiaohai Xiaohai and the others hid in the shadows on the street, staring at the tavern across the street. Ma Biao and the target who entered the tavern never came out. After some discussion, Ma Xiaohai and the others decided to send someone into the tavern to replace Ma Biao.
The people who entered the tavern this time were a male and female team member who often pretended to be a couple. When they saw a familiar face entering the tavern, Ma Biao, who was facing the door of the tavern, smiled knowingly, then checked out and left the tavern. "The situation is not good. After the target entered the tavern, he kept talking in a low voice with the owner of the tavern! I couldn't get close to eavesdrop, but judging from the way they talked, it was obvious that they were familiar!" Ma Biao, who left the tavern, quickly Join Ma Xiaohai and the others.
After looking around at everyone, Ma Biao continued in a deep voice, "In this situation, just a few of us may not be able to follow all the way, and there must be someone at the tavern to observe! I think we should Keep asking people to come over for support!" The search team's method of action has always been based on cooperation, and Tangcheng never advocates a lone heroic style of action. Ma Xiaohai and the others did not hesitate at all, and nodded in agreement with Ma Biao's suggestion. Among them, Ma Xiaohai had the best physical strength, so he was sent back the same way to find other members of the search team to come and help.
The middle-aged gambler who was still in the tavern at this moment did not realize that because of his carelessness, the tavern used for emergency communication was also exposed to the eyes of his opponents. The middle-aged gambler who had been chatting in a low voice with the tavern owner finally relayed the new information he had received to the tavern owner, "Tell me, the situation in the city has been a little strange recently. My insider said that the military commander has been It seems that a big operation is being planned, and the city government has received orders to fully cooperate with the military unification operation."
The owner of the tavern was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in disbelief, "I heard that the relationship between the military commander and the city government has always been very tense. How can the two of them form a cooperative relationship? Chinese people like to fight among themselves the most, even if With orders from above, I don’t think the city government may be willing to cooperate with the military commander’s actions!” The words of the tavern owner made the middle-aged gambler shake his head slightly, because the situation he knew was not like this.
"Mr. Haruta, you just heard that! The Chinese like to fight within themselves, but when they encounter powerful foreign enemies, the cohesion of the Chinese is unparalleled! What's more, this is Chongqing. Before going south to Chongqing from the military command headquarters, Since the beginning of half a year, the city has been conducting a strict manhunt for the empire’s intelligence personnel. Under such circumstances, let alone the insiders we have developed, they cannot play their role at all. Even we lurking personnel cannot protect ourselves! "
"These are all the achievements of the military commander. As long as they continue to gain favor and trust in front of the chairman, it will be impossible for other units in Chongqing to go against the military commander! My insider said that the order the city government received this time , is fully cooperating, anyone who obstructs the military reunification action will be punished by military law!" The middle-aged gambler lowered his voice, and the last words he said made the tavern owner's face change drastically.
Military law enforcement is already the most serious consequence. The city government is not considered a military unit, but it has been warned that it will face military sanctions. This shows that the order received by the city government is no child's play. "You said... could the order received by the city government be directed at us?" The tavern owner suddenly realized something and looked at the middle-aged gambler in panic. Chongqing was targeting Japanese spies. The manhunt has never stopped, and those lurkers who have survived until now actually live in fear every day.
The middle-aged gambler, who had to reach out to rub his brows because he was depressed, looked at his companion with a pity look, "Chuntian-kun, I advised you to leave Chongqing early, but you insisted on not leaving at that time! I I still remember how you promised me back then! But it has only been three months, and you are so afraid of becoming like this! I regret it very much now. I should have sent you out of the city then to avoid seeing you like this!"
The middle-aged gambler's words made the tavern owner feel guilty, but feeling guilty and fearing death were two different things. When he thought of those once familiar faces disappearing one by one in the city, the tavern owner felt that he was living in a state of torment. . At this moment, outside the tavern, Ma Xiaohai had returned. In the shadow beside him, there were two groups of tracking team members who came to support him. "This is the current situation. The target we are following has not come out of the tavern, and the third sister and Brother Mu have not come out of the tavern either."
The third sister and brother Mu mentioned by Ma Biao at this moment are the male and female team members who often pretend to be husband and wife. Knowing that the target had not come out of the tavern, the two following groups of tracking team members immediately discussed the next arrangements with Ma Biao and the others. After about a cup of tea, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Ma Xiaohai, who had been staring at the tavern, became faintly excited, because the person coming out of the tavern at this moment was the middle-aged gambler they had been following.
The target finally came out of the tavern. Although Sanjie and Mu Ge had not yet been seen, the other team members waiting outside the tavern were already following the target in twos and threes according to the results of the previous discussion. Ma Xiaohai's group had been following their target for a long time before. Ma Biao, who was worried about being exposed, chose to continue to guard outside the tavern this time. Their tracking target had changed from the middle-aged gambler to the tavern owner. .
