Du Mingsheng wore a gentleman's hat, a suit, leather shoes, and carried a small suitcase. He got out of the car at a remote place and left quickly.
Although the dress is formal, the overall color tone conveys a feeling that it is a bit dark, a bit heavy, not eye-catching, and even makes people feel a bit earthy.
As for the driving team member, he drove the car to the front, handed over to another person, said hello and left slowly. As for his appearance, he was not much different from a young driver.
Soon, the team members and Du Mingsheng met in front, looked at each other, and started to move in tacit understanding. The remaining team member, who was staring at him from a distance, also quietly slowed down, waited for the car to pick him up, and quickly changed his clothes.
.
Du Mingsheng acted like a normal person. He was walking on the street with his suitcase. If the other party made any movements, he would act like a normal person and move forward calmly, completely turning a blind eye.
Du Mingsheng knew very well that no matter how much trouble the other party did along the way, he could turn a blind eye. As long as the person was not lost, the target would always lead them to a new target.
Therefore, even if he was moving forward normally and had already passed the target who was constantly stopping and going, he was still moving forward. Anyway, blocking in front and staring back, it would be difficult for the target to escape.
Of course, there are many tricks in this, such as how to detect the situation behind you without leaving any trace, where, when and what kind of situation it is, what actions the other party may take the opportunity to do, etc. You have to make certain predictions and guesses.
Then, based on the distance to the target, etc., a suitable time is selected to communicate with the team members behind, etc. It is not possible to avoid being discovered every time, but it is only intended to avoid it as much as possible.
After all, although the front side is a psychological blind spot that the tracked target pays attention to, that is, subconsciously thinking that there will be no problems ahead, the front side is after all the direction where the eyes stay for a long time.
Just like when you are following someone behind you and you can see most every move of the target clearly, if you are in the front, you are in the same situation. If you move too much, you will most likely be noticed.
In the past, they relied on quantity, that is, they would change people for a period of time. But now that the manpower is limited, they can only use other methods to let one person be responsible for an extra period of time.
Of course, they have already practiced and studied these in advance, because winning by quantity will not only have manpower problems, but also many other shortcomings and deficiencies.
Du Mingsheng, on the other hand, is a good player. These people under him have been with him for a long time and have been immersed in them. Most of them are good in this regard. He took the time to train and learn for everyone. He also took the opportunity to study and hone the corresponding methods.
Back to the topic, when we reached an intersection, Du Mingsheng's left hand side was not far away, and there was another busy intersection. He turned directly to this side without any hesitation.
This is easy to judge. There is a high probability that the other party will come to this side and use the flow of people to get rid of possible tracking.
Du Mingsheng quickly observed the situation ahead. This was another advantage of being in front of the target. If he observed, predicted and reacted in advance, the opponent would most likely make some move here.
This is an intersection. Go straight ahead. It is a very busy street with people and cars coming and going. He is on the left side of the street and can see a little better the situation on the right side.
There are a lot of pedestrians coming and going, but most of them are people and rickshaws. Pedestrians gather in small groups, and many of them separate at intersections, which most likely lead to residential areas.
The street on the other side cannot see the inside because of the angle, but there are horse snail carts and pallet carts appearing at the intersection from time to time, which should lead to wholesale and warehouse areas.
At the four corners of the intersection, on both sides of the street where he was, there were buildings with ordinary shops and residences, with at most some additional restaurants and teahouses interspersed.
On both sides of the street opposite, you can see clearly on the left, there is a large shopping mall at the intersection, the street extends deeper, there are billboards on the roof, and the banners on the water below.
Here, almost all businesses are operating upstairs and downstairs, and the upstairs is more prosperous. In addition to shopping malls, there are probably many places like indoor playgrounds, because there are many people entering the building with their families.
And the interior of the building may be connected, because at the street entrance of the shopping mall, it is rare for the whole family to enter together, but it is not uncommon for the whole family to come out carrying things.
As for the other side of the street, you can't see any specific shops at first glance, but there are also many billboards and banners, but the number of people coming in and out here is obviously less than that on the other side.
While thinking, Du Mingsheng also approached the intersection, made a quick judgment, crossed the street as if he was familiar with it, and strode into the street on the left.
As he guessed, the street on this side quickly narrowed inward, and the shops on both sides turned into small shops selling some residents' daily needs, which were vaguely visible. Going inward, there were alleys extending in all directions leading to residents' homes.
Du Mingsheng stopped in front of a small fruit shop. He used his hands and mouth to inquire and bargain with the young and pretty proprietress. His mouth seemed to be covered with honey, and he spoke beautiful words, which made the proprietress beam with joy.
Of course, Du Mingsheng was very restrained and did not go too far or cross the line. Even when he was close, he would only think that the two were acquaintances and would not have too many thoughts.
In this regard, he has learned a lot from Zhang Guangjia, and he cannot grasp the sense of propriety. Most women will not talk to strange men, and may even treat him as a protégé, leading to conflicts.
Chatting about bargains and looking at fruits, and looking like acquaintances with the landlady, this is what outsiders see.
When Du Mingsheng stayed here, he was naturally waiting for his target to show up. Of course, he didn't pay much attention to the intersection and even turned his back to that side.
When he turned around, the team members following the target had already appeared. The two sides only looked at each other and then staggered away. Without the need for words or gestures, brief and necessary messages, such as positioning, were passed to each other.
As he expected, there were four streets at the intersection, and he didn't choose any target. He went directly into the shopping mall upstairs at the intersection. This was not surprising. All the other people's actions along the way were rationalized as strolling around, which was enough foreshadowing.
As long as they are not discovered, even if they are discovered, according to common sense, the target will not go to residential areas or too remote places, especially such a difficult target.
Because this will reveal too much information, it is indeed easier to find out whether there is a tail behind you if you go to a more remote place, but it doesn't also prove that you have a problem with yourself, right?
If it is just suspicion, it is not asking for trouble, so your behavior along the way must be as reasonable as possible. As for the tail that has been discovered, it is naturally better to let others pretend that they are unaware, unless the two parties have already faced each other and are absconding.
Before evacuating, you can use remote and complicated streets to escape.
Du Mingsheng was not in a hurry and chatted with the landlady for a while, then bought two kilograms of fruit and continued walking into the residential area.
"...I can't remember my cousin..." Du Mingsheng pinched the face of a half-grown girl by the alley, causing her to call him out in confusion.
"That's right. I won't be able to go there when I bring the fruit home. I'd like to say hello to you, sir. My cousin happened to be passing by and has something urgent to do. I won't be able to go there. I'll come to visit you next time..."
After Du Mingsheng finished speaking, he waved to the confused half-grown girl and left, quickly walking through the alley and disappearing.
I found a remote and uninhabited place, quickly opened the suitcase, took out a large brown leather bag, and threw the suitcase directly into the pile of debris on the side of the road.
Then, I took off my suit jacket, turned it over, quickly changed the color and style, and took off the down padding lining the inside of the jacket, shoulders, arms and waist.
Find the thread from the trousers, pull it hard, twist it around your hand while pulling, and quickly pull out a long thread. After throwing it out, you search for the trousers twice more, tear it hard, and directly pull the trousers up.
The thin fabric was pulled off, and the pants immediately changed color and style.
The same goes for leather shoes. After pulling out a few slender wires, a layer of leather is immediately peeled off, and the shoe looks completely different.
Throw away the wire, ball up the shoe leather, thin cloth and lining into a small ball, take out a small bag like a money bag and put it into it, tie it tightly with the rope and put it into the leather bag.
Put on the inside-out jacket, but leave it unbuttoned, giving the casual look of a windbreaker. Take off the hat and turn it over, directly turning it into a bell-shaped hat of the same color as the clothes.
He put on his hat, took out a small bottle of cream from his bag, picked out a finger, wiped it on his face as he walked, rubbed it, took out a small bottle of chewing gum, took out a few pieces and threw them in his mouth.
While chewing gum, he swung his purse and strode forward. At this point, in less than a minute, Du Mingsheng changed his appearance and almost became a different person.
He used to have a bit of a country hat appearance, but he suddenly turned into a fashionable and confident trendy guy. The loose coat not only concealed his figure, but also made him a bit free and uninhibited.
Soon, Du Mingsheng returned to that street. Of course, the place he came out of was not the previous intersection, but further ahead.
Not far away, the team members who were following behind had also come here in advance and were waiting. After seeing Du Mingsheng's figure, they made eye contact, stood casually, paused, and then quickly merged into the crowd and disappeared again.
Du Mingsheng stood by the trash can at the intersection, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. The ashes of the cigarette were shot into the trash can. He was free and easy, but also seemed to be well-educated.
After not smoking for too long, Du Mingsheng put out the cigarette, carried his bag, and walked forward, because the target appeared a little earlier than he expected.
As he guessed, the target speeded up during the next section of the journey and was no longer as tepid as before.
Fortunately, he had already predicted that the target had been replaced by a car and followed alternately by people. Of course, it was not a car, but two team members who quickly changed their clothes with the help of a car and took a rickshaw to follow him alternately.
Subsequently, along the way, the target entered and exited large shopping malls, amusement parks, busy streets and other places several times, sometimes fast and sometimes slowly, trying to see if there was anyone behind him.
And Du Mingsheng, with the cooperation of several team members, pushed the opponent to the limit. It can be said that he tried his best to prevent the target from being lost.
He was not able to accurately judge the target's whereabouts every time, or in other words, the target consciously acted counterintuitively, which often caused trouble to them.
