Any abnormality that occurs around him will arouse Cheng Ruien's debugging vigilance.
The sudden appearance of the tenant in the opposite room and the sudden feeling of familiarity made him act more cautiously.
Cheng Ruian grew up in Haigu and had many classmates and friends, as well as neighbors in the public security area.
If you meet an acquaintance, you can make sense.
However, he thought carefully about the other person's face, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the other person.
Cheng Ruien found a noodle shop nearby. When he entered, he quickly glanced behind him.
After entering, he found a seat at the very back and sat against the wall.
From his position, he could see the entire noodle shop.
Sitting down, Cheng Ruien took out a copy of Yongbao and looked at it as if nothing had happened, but his eyes would glance at the door from time to time.
At this time, opposite the noodle shop, Zhang Cheng was staring in the dark. He looked at the door of the noodle shop, hesitating whether to go in or not.
Shao Long Pavilion's surveillance operation arranged three people, one person monitored opposite the hotel, and the two took turns to follow.
If you always follow one person, once you meet the target, you cannot follow it again.
Therefore, someone needs to be replaced.
In the end, Zhang Cheng decided not to go in. Once he entered the noodle shop, he would probably meet Chen Ren.
As soon as they meet, he can no longer track the target for at least two days.
After waiting outside the noodle shop for more than ten minutes, Cheng Ruien finally came out.
When he went out, he glanced around and found nothing unusual before walking back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Cheng Ruien was ready to go back to his room to rest.
However, when he opened the door, he found an extra letter in the room.
Cheng Ruien was shocked. His coming to Haigu was a secret, and no one except the Ministry of Urban Affairs knew about it.
After arriving in Haigu, I neither contacted the Haigu City Committee nor met my former friends and classmates. How could anyone write to me?
After closing the door, Cheng Ruien lay down behind the door and listened. After finding nothing unusual, he picked up the letter on the ground.
The letter came from under the door. There was no signature on the envelope, only that it was signed by Mr. Chen Ren.
Cheng Ruian was even more surprised when he saw what was written on the envelope, because only he and Li Xiangxue knew about this pseudonym.
In Haigu, he used the name "Chen Ren".
However, not many people know his name.
He put the envelope under his nose and smelled it. After there was no smell, he held the envelope up to the light. There was indeed a piece of paper inside.
The envelope was not sealed. When he opened the envelope and took out the note inside, Cheng Ruien was shocked when he opened it and took a look.
There is a sentence written on the note: You have been followed.
Behind the note was a simple map indicating the location of the hotel and the location of the surveillance personnel.
Although the writing on the paper is crooked and awkward, it also hides the other person's handwriting.
Cheng Ruian didn't take these ugly words to heart. He just felt that he was being watched and he didn't know anything about it. It seemed that his vigilance was not enough.
He walked to the window, opened the curtains and took a look outside. The surveillance point marked on the paper was on the opposite side.
There was a row of houses opposite. If someone hadn't reminded him, he would never have imagined that someone was watching him across the street.
Cheng Ruien lowered the curtains and felt a chill running down his back.
Lying in bed at night, Cheng Ruien couldn't sleep.
After arriving in Haigu, before the mission started, he was monitored by agents again.
Li Xiangxue repeatedly told him to protect the safety of the ants, but he almost brought danger to the ants.
The only thing that makes Cheng Ruien happy is that for the sake of safety, he has not yet put the information in the dead mailbox on No. 25 Road.
Also, who wrote the letter in the room?
That person obviously knew his identity, but he addressed himself as "Chen Ren", so he obviously didn't know his true identity.
Also, could the content in this letter be false?
Perhaps the gendarmerie detachment wanted to test their identity and deliberately slipped a letter to themselves.
Otherwise, why would there be the word "Chen Ren" on the envelope?
Cheng Ruien failed to contact Ant and could not contact the Haigu City Committee. At this time, he could not report to the organization. All emergencies could only be handled by himself.
Although he was lying on the bed, Cheng Ruien didn't sleep a wink all night.
It was almost dawn before Cheng Ruien could fall asleep.
Fortunately, he was fine during the day and slept until the afternoon.
"Is there any movement from Chen Ren?" Shao Longge arrived at the surveillance point opposite in the morning and asked Zhang Cheng who was having breakfast.
"No, I didn't go out in the morning." Zhang Cheng shook his head.
"You can't go out anymore, don't you know?" Shao Longge said doubtfully.
The longer he monitored Chen Ren, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this person.
When he entered the British Concession, Chen Ren said he wanted to join his brother in the HSBC Bank. However, after entering, he stayed in this small hotel and never even went to Victoria Road, let alone the HSBC Bank.
This in itself is a big flaw, indicating that Chen Ren lied when entering the concession.
In addition, since Chen Ren came in, he had been sneaking around and not doing anything serious, which made him even more suspicious.
"Impossible, I've been staring at it." Zhang Cheng said firmly.
"This man is very weird. Keep your eyes open. If you let him escape, I will make you walk around without food." Shao Longge cursed.
"Captain, look, people are coming out." Zhang Cheng suddenly said.
At this time, Chen Ren happened to walk out of the hotel, and he immediately handed the binoculars to Shao Longge.
"Very good, follow me." Shao Longge warned.
Cheng Ruien called a rickshaw at the door. After getting on the rickshaw, he told the driver to go to the HSBC Bank on Victoria Road.
What he thought about most last night was how he could become the target of others' attention.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, this is what Li Xiangxue often told him.
Details determine success or failure. If there is a problem with his work, it must be that he failed to pay attention in some aspect and attracted the attention of the enemy.
He reflected for a night and finally understood why he attracted the enemy's attention.
When he entered the British Concession, someone asked him what he was doing in the Concession. His answer was to go to the HSBC Bank to find his brother.
But after arriving in the British Concession, he didn't even know where the HSBC Bank was.
Also, he has been wearing suits and leather shoes these days, but he is staying in this small hotel, which really does not match his status.
Cheng Ruien went to HSBC specifically today. After walking around inside, he changed his hotel and stayed at the Lishun Hotel.
It was a high-end hotel in the British Concession. Although it was expensive, it suited his status.
Shao Longge was indeed a little surprised when he learned that Chen Ren had gone to HSBC and immediately moved to the Lishun Hotel.
"Captain, could it be that we made a mistake?" Zhang Cheng quickly placed the surveillance point opposite the Lishun Hotel. However, the house opposite the Lishun Hotel was difficult to find. If the sign of the Military Police Detachment had not been moved, it might not have been possible.
