The old second-hand car drove down the remote dirt road, the breeze swayed the spider silk, and the dew silently moistened the earth.
Turn the key and turn off the engine.
The forest fell silent. After a moment, subtle sounds were heard from all around again, and the frightened animals poked their heads out again.
Bi Fang opened the car door and waved to Yao Jun: "Get out of the car and walk into the forest. Find a place to hide. Be careful of being discovered by them. Just wait for me here."
Even though the car has undergone a triple exchange, there is no guarantee that the hunter group will not come looking for it.
It is not safe for Yao Jun to stay alone in the car. They need to avoid being alone as much as possible and being arrested.
When Yao Jun took a portable camera and left alone, Bi Fang made a slight disguise on the spot, wiped out the footprints, stepped on the spot, walked several hundred meters in another direction, and then walked back to the original spot.
, and then rushed towards the destination, with the photographer carefully following behind.
There is nothing good to photograph when Yao Jun is hiding in one place, so it is self-evident to follow and photograph whoever he is.
There are many national forests near Los Angeles, and there are many tourists outside these, so it looks more like a park. Tourists will camp here, roads have been built next to it, and there are many shops nearby.
Bi Fang observed the area for a long time and found two ATM machines next to a store.
"Chou Country is different from China. In China, you can usually find ATM machines only in front of banks, but here they can be found everywhere. This is mainly due to system reasons."
"ATM machines in China are just a technical reserve, which is equivalent to opening a few more processing windows, and has nothing to do with system innovation. But in China, these things are more useful, and their existence is equivalent to bank branches."
"For a long time, many states in the U.S. have stipulated that banks can only be independent banks, which means that banks can only have one business location in a certain place and are not allowed to open branches in other places. It is very similar to the feudal lords in the European Middle Ages.
Lord of a castle."
Individual banks are naturally very unfavorable for risk management and control, and are not friendly to depositors. They have no choice but to reserve their money in local banks.
As for why this model appears, the reasons are very complicated, but the fundamental reason is interests.
So the ATM machine was born, bypassing this regulation. In China, it is not only equivalent to a processing window, but a separate branch.
"So you can find them even in remote parks or even in the corners. Of course, there are no restrictions on individual banks now, but people are already very accustomed to doing business at ATMs, and it's convenient.
So instead there are more and more of them.”
Habits are hard to change, just like why online payment cannot be developed in China. One of the main reasons is that the credit card system here is too developed, which blocks the development of new things.
The photographer captured everything in detail.
Even he, an ugly Chinese, didn't know about this. After all, it happened in the 1980s, and he wasn't even born yet!
The photographer felt that the video edited by the Bi Fang pair would definitely be very fast-paced, and maybe even longer. Otherwise, the information would be too dense.
No one in the other groups has Bifang's profound knowledge and various unheard-of escape techniques.
In front of these two machines is a tree-lined path, and further ahead is a large lake.
This is a very good opportunity.
It was early in the morning, and there were not many tourists. The only ones wandering around were one of the characteristics of Los Angeles - homeless people.
Dirty homeless people rummaged through trash cans, trying to find some leftover food scraps from tourists.
After a while, the police will come to drive them away when they go to work.
These people have no money to surf the Internet, let alone have the opportunity to meet Bi Fang. This is a pretty good time.
"Be careful." Bi Fang warned the photographer, pointing to the big lake in front of him, "I'm going to swim there alone in a moment, and then go to the machine on the opposite side to withdraw money. If you want to take pictures, you can only go around alone.
So be careful."
The photographer looked left and right, feeling nervous.
16% of homeless people in Los Angeles have physical disabilities, 25% suffer from severe mental illness, and many even abuse drugs.
There are tens of thousands of crimes registered at the police station in a year here, and it is said that they did not register and chose to suffer the consequences.
It's good to have Bi Fang by my side, but now I hear that I'm going to be alone...
"Don't be so afraid. If you are in danger, just shout loudly and I will rush over as much as possible. Moreover, it is daytime and the police will be here soon. They will restrain themselves."
There are many tourists here during the day and night, so the police force is naturally more abundant.
Hearing this, the photographer reluctantly felt relieved. Then he saw Bifang taking off his coat and clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts. Then he stuffed all the clothes into the coat and rolled it into a ball.
Then he followed the river and sank into the lake.
The lake water in the early morning was filled with air-conditioning, which aroused goose bumps all over Bifang's body, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Under the stimulation of the cold, his body still adapted briefly, and his blood flow accelerated. After he almost calmed down, Bifang swam towards the other side of the river.
The lake is extremely wide, conservatively estimated to be 600 meters up. The photographer is not good at swimming, but he was still shocked to see Bifang swimming in such cold water with one hand holding up his clothes.
Twenty minutes later, Bi Fang carefully walked ashore, avoiding everyone's eyes, and then shook off the water stains on his body, then dried his hair with a liner, stood for a while, and then put on his coat after it was completely dry.
All bank cards provided by Stealth Tracking are set up with a pre-set alarm system. As long as they are used overly, an alarm will be sent to a fixed location.
At this point, facial disguise is no longer so important. No matter whether you cover your face or not, the other person will know it's you.
For this reason, Bi Fang tidied up his clothes and went directly to get the money.
There is an asphalt road in front of the ATM machine. Normal people would not think that Bi Fang would swim over from the other side of the lake 500 meters away and withdraw money.
Another break from habitual thinking.
Three hours later, when the hunters drove to the scene, they found nothing again.
After surveying the surrounding environment, in addition to a long straight road in front of the ATM machine that crosses the entire park, the nearest road is more than two kilometers away.
The other party most likely drove through this highway, which is an important clue!
Robert immediately ordered: "Investigate all the surveillance cameras on the entire road and track the vehicles. I want to know where they went!"
"FUCK!"
Andrew Stumpf, the second-in-command in the operations team who replaced Phillips, saw the empty road surveillance and let out a curse.
