She knew that this level of monitoring was not strict. They usually did not set up secret sentries to keep an eye on the store all year round, and generally did not place a "ten-person group" in the store. www.But she was still very cautious. She first walked through the street in front of the Haixing to take a look at the surrounding situation.
This is not a busy city, there are not many pedestrians, and the shops are even empty. Li Yongxun noticed that there were no surveillance personnel around, and he felt a little calmer. He was thinking about how to establish contact with his cousin-in-law, when he suddenly saw a few graffiti-like symbols on the roadside wall.
Li Yongxun was startled: This is Jin Yiwei's secret code!
People in the world often use secret symbols to contact their peers. Li Yongxun is no stranger to this. Jinyiwei already has a good understanding of these market connections, and he also has a set of secret symbols for secret communication. Whether he is secretly handling a case or investigating the enemy's situation, this is Very useful tool.
She worked in the national police and saw all kinds of secret signs when she was seconded to "collaborate", but she knew clearly that this set of secret signs belonged to Jin Yiwei! Lin Ming even specially taught her back then.
Seeing this secret message, she became more and more certain that Lin Min was Lin Ming. The content of the mark is very simple, it is a summons to the companions: every Monday night, we meet on the embankment near the river near Kawara Street, holding a willow branch as a mark.
No wonder my cousin-in-law would appear in the shop in Fenghua District! Since he has the important task of investigating military intelligence, why would he go to prison? Li Yongxun thought it was a bit unbelievable at first, but now he feels relieved when he thinks about it together.
Seeing this secret sign, Li Yongxun no longer hesitated. Seeing that there was no one around, he picked up the cinders on the ground, scrawled a reply secret sign underneath, and left here quickly.
Lin Ming saw the response that night. Overjoyed. But he soon discovered an embarrassing problem. Although the secret note can indicate the date, it cannot tell which calendar it is from. Under the Ming Dynasty, this would certainly not be a problem, but the so-called "Gregorian calendar" used in Lingao was completely inconsistent with the Ming Dynasty calendar. Used out of care for farmers. There is another "lunar calendar" in Kunthi, which is printed in parallel with the "Gregorian calendar". And this "lunar calendar" and the Ming Dynasty calendar are also different.
Lin Ming thought for a long time. Since Li Yongxun had been living in Lingao for a long time and there was nowhere to find the Ming calendar locally, she would definitely act according to Kun Thief's "Gregorian calendar".
According to Kunthi's "Gregorian calendar", the next Monday is January 21st: just three days later.
Three days later. Lin Ming took a shower after get off work, pretended that he was going shopping, and walked out of the store alone. He was now familiar with the journey: he first went to a small restaurant in Dongmen City to have dinner, and then went shopping. He walked sometimes fast and sometimes slowly, stopping to watch from time to time. When I walked into the store and took a look, I felt like a poor man shopping with great interest in life. After walking slowly like this for half an hour, I saw that it was getting late and heard the bell strike six times. I once again confirmed that there was no "tail" behind me, and then I quietly walked towards Kawara Street.
Lin Ming carried the name card given to him by his sister that day with him. If anyone questioned him, he would use the excuse that he was going to "Night Flower".
He quietly came to the river embankment, although it was close to the custom industry area of Lingao. But there are few people here: women don't come here, men just go straight to the topic, and no one has the leisure and elegance to go to the river to enjoy the breeze at night.
Standing on the embankment. You can see the bright lights and greenery of Heyuan Street under the river embankment, and the silk and bamboo trees in your ears, but the embankment is indescribably desolate and deserted. Lin Ming sat on the bench, folded a wicker branch and played with it in his hand, waiting for his sister-in-law to arrive.
"Life is really like a dream..." Lin Ming looked at the night scene in front of him and felt this way for some reason. I never left home. Wandering on the sea until I came to Lingao. It seems like it all happened yesterday. Originally, he had always been doubtful about whether he could find his sister-in-law, fearing that he would not be able to find her whereabouts - even though he was only her cousin-in-law. Even if they are relatives, the relationship is very shallow and thin. But during those days when Li Yongxun was at his home, he couldn't let go of her. I always feel responsible for her.
While I was sighing, someone suddenly said: "Uncle, if you don't go play in the street and sit here sighing alone, aren't you living up to this wonderful life?"
Lin Ming's heart tightened. He had already made an appointment with Li Yongxun to meet him here. He heard that Kun Thief also had his own Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and his detective skills were very good, so he was wary of every stranger who appeared nearby, for fear that they were Kun Thief's spies.
When he looked closely, he saw that she was a prostitute with a yellow ticket hanging around her neck. Although her age was unclear under the light, judging from her figure and the slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she was probably in her thirties. Although her face was covered with thick makeup, her appearance was quite decent, and her wife was as plump as a ripe peach. Wearing a fluttering white-ground red floral silk top, the collar is unbuttoned, revealing the red tube top that tightly wraps her chest, which is quite charming.
On the snow-white neck, there is a black leather ring with numbers vaguely engraved on it and a metal ring on it. Lin Ming saw that some "Wandering Orioles" also had this thing on their necks, but some did not.
I guessed that she was probably here to promote my "business", and I felt a little at ease. He only smiled slightly and didn't answer - as long as he didn't talk, the "Liu Ying" would naturally leave.
Unexpectedly, this "Liu Ying" didn't leave, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be so heartless, I have a wonderful thing here, I guarantee that you will like it..."
Lin Ming knew that the methods of these "wanderers" were nothing more than taking off their clothes and exposing their nakedness to seduce prostitutes. Unexpectedly, the other party did not undress, but instead took out a wicker stick.
The pupils of Lin Ming's eyes suddenly shrank, and one hand involuntarily reached to his waist - but found nothing. For a moment, his mind went blank: He was not his sister-in-law, but he could understand his secret message!
"Liu Ying" had a charming face and lay on his shoulder, thinking about herself, "How about it, brother, this object is perfect?"
Lin Ming understood in a moment: Lingao has his own companions!
However, Jinyiwei never uses women, so this woman must be the "officer" of a certain colleague. He was assigned after seeing his secret message to summon his companions.
Lin Ming didn't feel happy at all knowing that his colleagues were here. He came here to do "private business". Regardless of whether it was successful or not, he would do it in secret and never let others know. Now it is very inappropriate to let colleagues know about it.
He has no mission to enter the enemy's territory privately. If someone wants to seek revenge for personal gain, this alone can make him drink a pot. Secondly, even if no one is aware of this, it is clear what the purpose of coming to Gao is - they don't have a sister-in-law to look for. When the time comes, they want him to help, will they help or not?
If you help, there are so many traps here in Lingao, and if you join in, you are seeking death; if you don't help, as long as the other party anonymously reports to the thief, you will become a prisoner in an instant!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly regret why he had issued that secret code. In the past few days, there are obviously important cases all over the city in Lingao - for the thief, the biggest important case is the investigation sent by the imperial court. I should have thought that there were colleagues in Lingao. Moreover, after several rounds of raids, his vitality must have been severely weakened, and he was hoping for reinforcements.
The only solution for now is to deny it. Lin Ming thought that he had done nothing since he came to Qiongzhou, and his identity was relatively innocent. No matter how diligent the thief was, he would not be able to get to the bottom of him quickly. Anyway, only his sister-in-law knows his identity. As long as she doesn't reveal it, he can deny it even if the thief captures him.
As for Jin Yiwei, since his colleagues only sent one "officer" to contact him, he was obviously not from Guangdong Province, and he would not recognize him. Moreover, he came to Lingao in secret, and neither his colleagues nor Baihu Office knew about it. Even if there was an official dispute after returning to Guangdong, he could completely deny that he had been to Lingao and sent this secret message.
What's more, Lingao's city is full of search engines and arrests are urgent. Even if his colleagues are angry, they may not dare to make trouble.
He has been handling cases in Jinyiwei for many years and has rich experience. He sorted out the gains and losses in an instant. His expression softened in an instant, and he remained silent, acting as if he didn't understand, couldn't understand, and ignored him.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, the woman lost her temper and said, "You can't even see this wicker?"
"Girl, I'm not in the mood. You can go do business elsewhere. Let's go!" He said very loudly - if Li Yongxun had arrived nearby, this would remind her that something had changed here and leave immediately.
"What do you mean?!" "Liu Ying" was indeed an amateur. Seeing that he didn't accept the offer, she immediately jumped up and said, "Since it's you who wants to date someone, why do you turn your back on him?"
Lin Ming deliberately pretended to be confused and said loudly: "Girl, I didn't say a word. You brought it all up yourself. I told you that I have no interest in it. Go do business elsewhere!"
As a result, the originally quiet river embankment became noisy. Only the sound of footsteps was heard, and two black police officers patrolling the street ran up from under the embankment.
"What are you doing?" someone asked.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, "Liu Ying" turned around and was about to run away. Another police officer had already blocked her way from the side and showed his white baton: "Squat down! Be honest!"
"Liu Ying" looked extremely afraid of the police and immediately squatted down with his head in his hands.
Another person blocked Lin Ming's path, raised his right hand to the side of his head and saluted, saying, "Sir, please cooperate with me and show me your ID. Thank you."
Lin Ming was very nervous, but he tried his best to steady himself and prevent this nervousness from showing up. He was betting that if this girl made a noise, he would be in danger. However, he has weighed it and feels that he has won a lot from the bet. With a smile, he handed over his ID card with both hands. The patrolman took it, checked it carefully by the light of the street lamp, handed it back to him, and asked:
"What's going on?" (To be continued)
