After Xu Wen listened to Zhou Zhongping's story, the ashtray in front of them was already filled with cigarette butts. After pouring out the last two cigarettes from the cigarette box, Xu Wen threw one to Zhou Zhongping and asked:
"Where's the magpie?"
Zhou Zhongping took the cigarette, took a puff and said:
"The Eagle's third apprentice, Magpie, is a legend. No one has ever seen him in the world, and it has never been reported that Magpie has done anything. I wonder if this person really exists. Maybe people are bored.
It was made up at the time.”
Xu Wen thought of his conversation with Crow in the auto repair shop, shook his head and said:
"No, magpies do exist. Crow told me personally that he has a junior brother named Magpie, and Magpie also brought back a child named Xiaobin and gave him to Sparrow as his apprentice."
"Oh, doesn't it sound like Sparrow once raised his younger brother's child until he graduated from elementary school?"
"By the way, I remember you said that Yingying also raised a little boy named Dong Wenrui before he was arrested."
"Yes, that little boy was sent to an orphanage later."
"Why do two generations of master and apprentice raise a little boy?"
"What else did he say after you subdued the crow?" Zhou Zhongping asked.
"I didn't say anything. Later he found out that I was not Xiao Bin and he let it slip, so he shut his mouth and said nothing again."
"Oh, what a pity. If Wu Wu was not detained in Gui'an but in Zhongjiang, we could still trace the thefts from banks and gold shops that year."
"You can apply to interrogate the crow in a different place."
"Well, it's been so many years since the case, who's going to dig through those old sesame seeds and rotten millet anymore. Besides, the work at hand is still unfinished, so there's no time." Zhou Zhongping sighed and shook his head.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Zhongping, Xu Wen drove away from the Nanshan District Police Station. Seeing that it was getting late, he called Xia Yiran.
"Of course, are you still in the company?"
"Yeah, are you finished over there?" Xia Yiran replied.
"I'm fine here. How about I go to the company to pick you up?"
"Okay, come here, I'll wait for you at the company."
"Okay, is the Unzen Mountain project progressing smoothly?"
"Yeah, that's pretty quick. The resort has already started construction..."
Xu Wen was chatting with Xia Yiran while driving. Out of professional habit, he glanced at the left and right and the rearview mirror in the car from time to time. Suddenly, he seemed to feel that the car following him looked familiar.
, so he said to Xia Yiran:
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, see you later."
"okay bye."
Xu Wen drove the car at a steady speed and after deliberately making two turns, he confirmed that the black Toyota Camry behind him was indeed following him.
"Who could be following me? People from Hesheng Bank? Besides them, who else could be following me? Is it another one of Shen Feiyu's minions?"
Xu Wen is now a person with a mission. He does not dare to act rashly. If he rashly sees through the other party's tracking, it may cause serious problems. If Shen Feiyu's people are following him, it doesn't matter. At most, he will teach them a lesson. But if
It's the people from Hesheng who are following him. Now that he has seen through them, it may affect his action plan.
Thinking of this, Xu Wen opened the glove box in front of the co-pilot, took out a mobile phone from it, and dialed Qian Fei's number.
"Are you sure this phone won't be monitored?"
"Confirmed. No one, including the police, can obtain the call records and related information of this mobile phone."
"Okay, are you in Zhongjiang?"
"Here, what's going on?"
"I found that I was being followed in a black Toyota Camry. You should know my current location so as not to alert the snake..."
"I understand. When you reach Jianshe Road, turn left. This will make it easier for me to approach you."
With Qian Fei's help, Xu Wen became more calm. He drove his Audi Q5 steadily and turned left onto Jianshe Road. Ten minutes later, Qian Fei's call came in.
"I have locked the other party, you can go pick up Xia Yiran."
"Are you monitoring my cell phone?" Xu Wen asked dissatisfied.
"Do you think I'm idle? When you came out of the police station, your driving route was obviously directed towards Jiangxia Real Estate. Even a fool like me could guess what you were going to do."
"Oh, that's it. It seems that I will have to make more detours with you in the future."
"Don't talk nonsense. The person following you is very careful. You should also be careful yourself."
Xu Wen came to Jiangxia Real Estate to pick up Xia Yiran. The two discussed it and planned to go to the shopping mall for a stroll and then have something to eat there.
In the women's clothing department on the second floor of the shopping mall, Xia Yiran was trying on clothes with great interest. Xu Wen used the mirror in the clothing store to observe the situation in the mall. At this time, he received a headset ring that Xia Yiran had put into his ear before.
Got up.
"A man about forty years old, wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt, doesn't seem to have any intention of approaching you. He may be trying to find out your usual movements."
"Um."
The store was noisy, and Xu Wen didn't have a chance to talk to Qian Fei. He just hummed to indicate that he had heard. Another man and a woman walked into the store arm in arm, and they came to choose clothes near Xu Wen.
.
Xia Yiran changed into a light green floral dress and came out of the fitting room. She circled in front of Xu Wen's eyes and asked him if it looked good.
In Xu Wen's eyes, Xia Yiran looks beautiful in any clothes. He nodded and looked at his beautiful girlfriend, feeling that she was like a fairy descending to earth.
Xia Yiran received the compliment from her boyfriend and happily turned around and walked to the fitting room. Xu Wen inadvertently turned around and found that the man and woman who had just come in were taking pictures. From the perspective of the man taking pictures on his mobile phone, Xu Wen happened to
Wen and Xia Yiran took the photo.
For ordinary people, this is nothing at all. It’s not a big deal if someone’s boyfriend and girlfriend take a photo and bring you in. But Xu Wen didn’t think so. His sensitive professionalism told him that these two people seemed like
He was deliberately taking pictures of himself and Xia Yiran.
Xu Wen turned around and observed the couple with the corner of his eyes. They did not leave after taking pictures, but continued to choose clothes. After Xia Yiran came out of the fitting room, he asked the waiter to issue a receipt and
Holding Xu Wen's arm, he went to the next store.
In another store, Xu Wen and the others met the man and woman who had just taken the photo again, but this time they did not take any photos, but just discussed together intimately whether the clothes looked good.
It is not uncommon for two couples to visit three or four stores together in a row. This situation is not uncommon in large shopping malls. However, Xu Wen discovered a problem. The couple only went to the store to look at the clothes, but never tried them on.
