On this side, Sun Jihai and Zhao Pingnian were also waiting anxiously after finishing their conversation.
After waiting for a long time, Sun Jihai saw that no one came, so he whispered to Zhao Pingnian: "Boss Zhao, I wonder how long we have to wait?"
Hearing Sun Jihai's question, Zhao Pingnian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly how long it will take."
"The person we are waiting for now is a staff member of the photo studio. I just thought of a situation and asked him to take a photo."
"Take photos?"
Zhao Pingnian heard some doubts in Sun Jihai's words, nodded, and said to Sun Jihai with a smile: "Yes, it's the photo, Old Sun. After the photo is taken back later, I may need your help in recalling it."<
/p>
Hearing what Zhao Pingnian said, Sun Jihai became even more confused and continued to ask: "Boss Zhao, what do you need me to recall?"
Zhao Pingnian heard this and said, "Old Sun, you will know later. It is not convenient to talk more here. We will talk about it when we go back."
Hearing what Zhao Pinnian said, Sun Jihai nodded. Although he still didn't know what Zhao Pinnian asked him to recall specifically, Sun Jihai was sure that it must be related to the incident at the grocery store.
Thinking of this, Sun Jihai carefully recalled the scene inside the grocery store, trying not to miss any detail inside.
The two of them waited by the car for more than ten minutes. When Zhao Pingnian was getting impatient, the sound of the rickshaw finally came.
Hearing the sound, Zhao Pingnian turned his head and looked at the intersection where the sound came from. After a while, the rickshaw turned out of the intersection.
The clerk sitting on the rickshaw saw Zhao Pingnian looking towards him, with a smile on his face, and held the camera in his hand to show Zhao Pingnian.
Zhao Pingnian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and a smile appeared on his face.
This photo studio employee's name is Xue Mingxing. He is the person who helped Xu Zhiyu take photos before. He was asked to come over by Zhao Pingnian last night.
Xue Mingxing came to Zhao Pingnian, got out of the car, and happily said to Zhao Pingnian: "Boss Zhao, all the photos were taken."
Hearing this, Zhao Pingnian nodded and said, "That's good."
After saying that, Zhao Pingnian walked to the car, opened the door, and said: "Get in the car, let's go back to the courtyard now, and we'll talk more carefully over there."
When Sun Jihai and Xue Mingxing heard this, they started to move, walked to different car doors, opened the doors and got in.
When Zhao Pingnian saw the two people sitting in, he got into the car and drove slowly out of the alley.
In the car, Zhao Pingnian asked the two about the general situation of the operation, then he did not continue to ask more questions, but concentrated on driving the car in the direction of the military academy.
After a while, the car finally drove back to Huangpu Street.
However, Zhao Pingnian did not drive directly to the courtyard, but stopped outside the photo studio.
"Old Xue, hurry in and let the boss develop the photos as quickly as possible, and then send them to the courtyard as soon as possible."
Hearing what Zhao Pingnian said, Xue Mingxing nodded, opened the car door, and walked quickly to the photo studio with his camera.
Looking at Xue Mingxing walking quickly to the photo studio, Zhao Pingnian asked Sun Jiguan to get in the car door and drove towards the small courtyard.
After the two got off the car outside Old Man Zheng's shop, they quickly walked inside.
At this time, in the small courtyard, Gong Qiming and three others had been waiting in the corridor outside the living room for a long time.
"Squeak..." The sound of the small door opening immediately attracted the attention of the three of them. The three of them turned their heads and saw Zhao Pingnian and his two men who were entering.
After Zhao Pingnian arrived, Gong Qiming led everyone into the living room without talking nonsense.
Entering the living room, Gong Qiming asked Zhao Pingnian: "Pingnian, tell me what's going on over there?"
Hearing this, Zhao Pingnian nodded and said, "Teacher, the situation is like this. Last night, after I went back, I started to select people to find out what Chen Shirong was doing."
Speaking of this, Zhao Pingnian pointed to Sun Jihai beside him and said: "The person I chose is him, Lao Sun, Sun Jihai."
Hearing this, Gong Qiming nodded towards Sun Jihai.
Seeing this, Zhao Pingnian continued: "After I chose Lao Sun, I found a place to conduct some training and formulated an action plan together."
"This morning, we selected a person from Chen Shirong's team as a target."
Speaking of this, Zhao Pingnian took out a few photos and handed them to several people.
"That's this guy. His name is Liu Deping. We chose him because he doesn't usually act too much and is a bit honest. At that time, we thought he would be relatively safe."
"But later it was confirmed that we were wrong. This person is very alert."
Having said this, Zhao Pingnian stopped.
Seeing this, Gong Qiming said, "Go on, tell me what's going on."
Zhao Pingnian heard this and said: "Teacher, let's let Lao Sun speak first. The situation I observed happened after Lao Sun's action. I think it is better to put it in chronological order." p>
Hearing this, Gong Qiming thought for a while and nodded.
Seeing this, Sun Jihai said: "My situation is like this. After Liu Deping entered a grocery store, we waited for a while and then I walked to the grocery store."
"After I entered the grocery store, the owner was talking to Liu Deping. Judging from what happened next, the two of them were probably talking about selling goods. The boss saw me coming in..."
Next, Sun Jihai told everything that happened in the grocery store.
Thanks to Sun Jihai's many memories afterwards, Sun Jihai described the situation in the grocery store in great detail, without missing any details.
After Sun Jihai finished speaking, Gong Qiming looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo saw this, sorted out his words, and said: "Teacher, second brother and Lao Sun, the situation inside the grocery store is of great value."
"On the one hand, we know that this group of people only sells ordinary department stores. On the other hand, we also know that these people's accents are from the north. These are very important clues."
"According to what happened in the grocery store, it is consistent with one of my opinions yesterday, and it is also consistent with what the grocery store owner said."
"From the current point of view, there is a problem with these people, but despite these circumstances, we are still not 100% sure that these people are Japanese spies."
"After all, although we now know that Chen Shirong and his gang are engaged in loss-making business, we still cannot rule out the possibility that they are using ordinary business to cover up their illegal business."
Speaking of this, Lin Mo looked at Zhao Pingnian and said: "Second brother, now tell me what you discovered. I need more clues to raise the possibility that these people are Japanese spies."
."
Hearing this, Zhao Pingnian nodded and said to everyone: "Lin Mo, teacher, what I discovered is this."
"After Liu Deping came out of the grocery store, I noticed that he suddenly became wary. After leaving some distance from the door of the grocery store, he stopped to smoke."
"When I saw this situation, I asked others to cover it up and observed Liu Deping with a telescope."
"In the telescope, I found that Liu Deping was not really smoking. His eyes were looking at the door of the grocery store from time to time."
"After smoking a cigarette, maybe Lao Sun spent a little too long in the grocery store. He went directly to the next food stall, ordered food and continued to observe the grocery store."
"On the way Liu Deping went to the food stall, there was clearly a grocery store, but he didn't even go in."
"Another point is that when we observed him today, he had clearly had breakfast, and it was still a long time before lunch."
"From these points of view, Liu Deping clearly did what he did to observe Lao Sun's situation."
"But fortunately, before taking action, we guessed that this situation might arise, and asked Lao Sun to buy bulk sugar that would take some time to package."
"What happened after that was as we expected. After Lao Sun picked up two large bags of candy from the grocery store, he walked straight along the avenue without looking back. Only then did he dispel Liu Deping's vigilance and started selling again.
Something."
Lin Mo heard this, nodded, and asked: "Are there any other situations?"
"Yes, when I was observing them, I also thought of an anomaly, that is, they would also record when they were outside."
Speaking of this, Zhao Pingnian paused, organized his words, and then continued: "At the beginning, I thought this was quite normal, and I didn't pay much attention to it."
"But after Lao Sun entered today, I suddenly felt that the time they spent recording outside was a bit long. They recorded the purchase and sale information, and they should have recorded it in the store. When they were outside, they only recorded the name of the store at most, and there was no need to spend so much time.
A long time."
"When I thought about this situation, I felt that he must be recording other things outside, and if they were Japanese spies, the things they recorded must not be discovered by the shop owner."
"Without letting the shop owner find out, they must record it in different places. And they definitely can't carry two notebooks with them. In this case, the two things they record will only be in the same notebook." p>
"In this way, when they memorize two things, the number of pages they turn will be different, and the thickness of both sides of the book will definitely be different."
"After thinking about this, I arranged for Xue Mingxing, the staff member in charge of photography, to seize the opportunity to take photos of Liu Deping while he was recording outside. Now he has gone to develop the photos."
Speaking of this, Zhao Pingnian turned to look at Sun Jihai and asked: "Old Sun, do you still have an impression of the thickness of Liu Deping's writing in it?"
Hearing Zhao Pingnian ask this, Sun Jihai nodded. He was already reminiscing when he heard Zhao Pingnian say this.
In Sun Jihai's memory, he recalled that when Liu Deping was recording, he was holding the notebook with his left hand. The thickness of the notebook at that time was also clearly imprinted in Sun Jihai's memory.
Zhao Pingnian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sun Jihai nodding. Although even if Sun Jihai didn't remember it, he could still arrange for someone to follow Liu Deping in again to observe the thickness of the notebook. But after all, it is not advisable to do this kind of thing more than once.
