The driver quickly put away the two thousand rubles, turned around immediately, and drove the taxi in the direction designated by Cheng Yu.
Following Cheng Yu's instructions along the way, the driver kept track of Davonov's car.
Except at the beginning, Cheng Yu made the driver drive faster to ensure that the GPS locator on Davonov's body would not fail due to the long distance. When the distance between the two cars was only a few hundred
When the car reached 300 meters, Cheng Yu asked the driver to slow down.
At this time, the taxi passed a long bridge. The wide river surface made Cheng Yu feel that he was passing a lake. If the driver hadn't introduced the river to him, he wouldn't have been able to tell it.
Normally, Cheng Yu would definitely dislike the driver's chattering, but today he didn't. It was so late, and if the driver kept silent, Cheng Yu would worry that he was in danger.
After crossing the bridge, Cheng Yu issued instructions again, and soon the driver took him to a road toll station.
The driver slowed down and turned around and said, "Sir, this toll...?"
Cheng Yu immediately said: "I will settle the settlement with you. You pay first."
The driver agreed, and the car quickly passed the toll station and continued to drive forward.
"Gentle sir, we are now more than ten kilometers away from the departure point, and according to my experience, our direction must be to the town of Listvyanka on Lake Baikal. You told me from the beginning that there are many destinations.
Okay? We don’t need you to give orders."
Cheng Yu frowned and said casually: "I don't know the specific name of that place. I don't know Russian."
The driver said oh, nodded, and said: "This road, unless you are going to a museum or hydrological monitoring point on the road, is basically going to the town of Listvyanka. However, at this time,
, it’s really rare for someone to go to that place. There’s no point in going there now. It’s a 70-kilometer journey and it’s only an hour away. Going there early tomorrow morning will be more suitable than now. I can ask,
Why do you have to rush to Lake Baikal so late?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Maybe I just want to see Lake Baikal late at night."
"Well, I really find it difficult to understand mysterious Easterners like you. But just be happy. But, as we said before, you will have to pay extra to go to places more than ten kilometers away. And
Now, it's more than ten kilometers."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you more money."
The driver chuckled and said, "Taking a taxi to Listvyanka Town is really not a good option. Normally when we receive such a customer, we will charge at least three thousand rubles. Even with a meter, it will cost about two thousand. And
You also agreed to pay me overtime..."
"Let's talk about this river." Cheng Yu interrupted the driver, "You said this river is called Angara River, right? When I crossed the bridge just now, I felt that the river was very wide. Now it seems that the river is getting wider.
Is it wider?"
The driver heard this and said with great interest: "This is not the widest place of the Angara River, but from the upper reaches, it is indeed very wide. In the middle reaches, near Bratsk, the river bend is formed.
It is the widest place. The place you see now is about seven or eight kilometers wide. If you compare it to other places you have been to, this width is indeed the width of the lake."
Cheng Yu was stunned and asked: "Upstream?"
The driver burst out laughing and said, "Yes, many people don't know about the upper reaches. You probably all think that this river will flow into Lake Baikal, right? In fact, the more important reason why the Angara River is famous is that it
It is the only river that flows out of Lake Baikal. It goes all the way north and eventually flows into the Yenisei River."
Cheng Yu nodded: "I know the Yenisei River, it is the largest river in Russia."
In this way, listening to the driver's introduction to the local customs and customs, Cheng Yu's trip to Irkutsk was not in vain. By taking advantage of the opportunity to track Davonov, he could barely complete the understanding of the local area that a traveler should have.
process.
After passing the toll station again, the road began to gradually narrow. The driver said: "This is the limit of Listvyanka town. If Irkutsk is the first stop for tourists coming to Lake Baikal, this is it."
Second stop. Usually, the third stop is Olkhon Island.”
When the spire buildings unique to Russian towns began to appear on the road, Cheng Yu discovered that the red dot representing Davonov on the phone had also stopped moving.
This shows that Davonov has finally arrived.
The taxi driver began to follow Cheng Yu's instructions again. After entering the town, the roads began to become narrow and criss-crossed. Only Cheng Yu knew where he was going.
When the taxi turned the last corner, Cheng Yu used the light of the car lights to see that there was only one Lada family car parked on this small road, and the place where this car was parked was the house behind it.
It is also the only house with lights on on this road.
After looking at the distance between the red dot on the map on his mobile phone and himself, Cheng Yu visually measured the distance between the car and himself, and could basically confirm that it was the vehicle used by Davonov.
Cheng Yu said to the driver: "Stop here."
The driver stopped the car without asking any questions.
Then, he held the backrest of the passenger seat with one hand, turned around, and looked at Cheng Yu with a smile on his face.
Cheng Yu took out his wallet from his pocket and looked at the meter. It was just over two thousand rubles, so Cheng Yu asked, "How much is the toll?"
The driver smiled broadly and said, "I won't ask you for the toll. It doesn't cost much. We agreed that if it exceeds ten kilometers, we will add five thousand. And this is already seventy kilometers..."
Cheng Yu smiled and shook his head, took out a ten thousand ruble note from his wallet, handed it to the driver, and said, "Just ask me for four thousand."
This is equivalent to nearly a thousand rubles more than the previously negotiated price.
The driver smiled so hard that he asked for change, and then asked: "Sir, you are really too generous, so I won't be polite. Do you want to live here when you come here, or...?"
"
Cheng Yu immediately understood what he meant and said, "You want to ask me when I will return, right?"
The driver shook his head and said: "Although this place receives a large number of tourists every year, many hotels in the town are closed at this time, so you may not be able to open the door. But I happen to know the owner of a hotel here.
He and I are college classmates. If you need to stay in a hotel, I can call him to open the door for you."
Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "You will be driving empty when you go back now, right?"
The driver nodded inexplicably, and Cheng Yu added: "Then you might as well find a place to wait for me for a while. It won't be too long, an hour or two at most. I have to go back to Irkutsk. However, I will
We can’t pay such a high price anymore.”
"That's easy to say. Just give me three thousand rubles for the return trip."
Cheng Yu didn't say much to him, nodded and said: "Okay, just wait for me nearby. Don't stay on this street, I will call you later, and you can also find a place to take a nap.
"
The driver was overjoyed. On this trip, he got 8,000 rubles just for coming here. The return trip was originally empty. He was even hesitating whether to stay here for one night and wait until dawn to see if he could bring some tourists with him.
When he returned to Irkutsk, he didn't expect Cheng Yu to actually say that he wanted to go back.
Although it seems a bit strange to come all the way to this small town at this time, and to go back an hour or two later, the driver obviously understands one truth, that is, it has nothing to do with him.
All that needs to be concerned about is that Cheng Yu will give him three thousand rubles on his return trip.
After all, even if we wait until tomorrow morning, not to mention getting a not-so-good sleep, the chance of bringing guests back on the return trip is not that great. If we only reduce the price, we may not even be able to earn 1,500 rubles.
arrive.
And Cheng Yu offered three thousand, so how could he not agree?
"Okay, no problem. Then I'll find a street corner nearby and call me when you're done."
After saying that, the driver winked at Cheng Yu. Of course, he couldn't imagine why Cheng Yu came here. The only way he could think about it was that he thought Cheng Yu came here to find a certain woman.
One or two hours, this time seems to be in line with the standards for a tryst with a woman.
Cheng Yu didn't bother to care what the driver thought. Since he had reached an agreement, he just opened the door and got out of the car.
Standing on the roadside, Cheng Yu didn't move forward in a hurry, but looked at the taxi.
The driver wisely turned around and left, turning the corner and disappearing. What he was thinking was that Cheng Yu probably didn't want him to see that he had entered that house. After all, the town was really small, with only two thousand residents. That house
Everyone knows who lives in the house.
A man who came here late at night to have a tryst with a woman would naturally not want anyone to know whose house he had entered.
This is all dirty work.
After the taxi completely disappeared, Cheng Yu walked towards the small building with the lights on.
This is a small villa, it doesn't occupy a large area, mainly because it doesn't have a yard.
The house covers an area of about one hundred square meters and has two floors. If the population is not large, it is considered a relatively large house.
The lights were on in the living room, and there was another light on upstairs. Cheng Yu estimated that Davonov was upstairs at the moment.
Walking up the steps and standing at the door of the house, Cheng Yu heard the sound of things being turned over upstairs.
"Davonov came here to look for something. Could it be that this is Sergei's real residence? But even if it is Sergei's residence, what did Davonov come here to find?"
Cheng Yu tried to reach out and found that Davonov was really defenseless and didn't even lock the door.
Unscrewing the door, Cheng Yu walked in.
Of course, his behavior began to become sneaky. Even if he used martial arts, Davonov would never be Cheng Yu's opponent, but Cheng Yu did not want to conflict with him. Understand Davonov's toss.
After a whole night, I finally came here to find what is most important.
As he walked up the stairs quietly, Cheng Yu heard the sound of rummaging for things. He followed the sound and quickly reached the top room on the second floor.
The door was open. Cheng Yu stood close to the door and looked inside.
Sure enough, it was Davonov. His behavior could be described as rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and this room, from the messy furnishings that had been rummaged through, could still tell that it was a study. The only difference was that
In addition to computers, there are many electronic devices on the desk that Cheng Yu can't quite understand.
But seeing this was enough for Cheng Yu to understand that this should be Sergey's home base. Many of those electronic devices should be hacking equipment used for tracking and anti-tracking. After all, as a professional killer, he
Your own location information is also very important.
