The lights are on and the night market is bustling.
"What kind of fortune-telling is done by a black bird? It looks just like the real thing! It's just a magpie with dyed fur. Do you really think I don't know enough to recognize it? I'm a turtle, a sperm! Haha..."
"Don't you know, magpies are very smart and are the only birds that have passed the mirror test, which is a method to evaluate the degree of biological self-awareness. In addition, when they play a game like 'hide and seek', their IQ performance is the same as that of the four
Five-year-old children are no different. So, as long as they train more, they can easily hold an envelope. This is all based on science..."
"What I'm asking for is too far, and I can't do anything. It's all around me, and there's no need to calculate... I wonder if this is just a replica of the fact that sometimes in life you have to have it, but in life there's no time, don't force it? It's all a routine! Handsome guy, you are a bastard.
In this business, tell me whether what I said makes sense..."
Somehow, after leaving the fortune-telling stall, Li Xiaolin started talking more and her attitude was very clear. She was not superstitious but held high the banner of science, as if she was a fighter against counterfeiting.
Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly fell ill, Tang Chao still nodded in agreement and continued: "That's almost true. According to jargon, if you don't say enough, you will make mistakes if you talk too much."
"Generally speaking, people who seek help from fortune tellers mostly encounter difficulties, setbacks, and are depressed. In this case, people are most likely to develop a dependence mentality and passively accept hints. Those fortune tellers have spotted this mentality and say something more general.
, are ambiguous and are mostly general words that are common in life, which will easily make the fortune teller who seeks help feel that his or her mind has been penetrated, and then have the illusion that the calculation is "very accurate". And once you accept this psychological suggestion,
It will be easy to cheat next time..."
At this point, looking at the dumbfounded Li Xiaolin and others, scratching the non-existent beard on their chin, Tang Xuanxue Master Chao Sha said matter-of-factly, "This is the same routine as those on the Internet who use zodiac signs to calculate personality.
, it’s more of a psychological phenomenon than metaphysical fortune-telling. There’s also a proper name for it, it seems to be the Barnum effect?”
"The beer is flowing!" Li Xiaoli, who looked in admiration, raised her hands and applauded enthusiastically, "What is professional? This is called professional!"
After hearing this, Manager Zhu nodded and applauded to express his conviction. Sally even smiled and joked, "Why don't you just set up a stall here, business will be booming!"
"I think it will work. This is a solid idea."
Tang Chao laughed and held up his hands: "Haha, life is not easy, you are versatile. You are making a fool of yourself."
The words caused another burst of joyful laughter. Looking at Tang Chao's showmanship, Xie Wei also raised her lips and applauded in amusement. Li Xiaolin secretly glanced at the side and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
She deliberately said that fortune telling was inaccurate, but she didn't expect that Tang Chao would cooperate so well. But no matter what, looking at Xie Wei's current state, the result is undoubtedly good.
There is naturally a reason for doing this. After the stall owner said those facts and not words, Xie Wei subconsciously turned her head to look around, looking for something, and then lowered her head to hide her sad expression... Yes, because of the position.
Due to the angle, Li Xiaolin clearly saw the details of Xie Wei's expression, and instantly understood what the latter was thinking when he looked at the little bird...
There is no doubt that it is naturally the one.
Regarding the relationship between that person and Xie Wei, Li Xiaolin's view is actually different from that of most members of Kyushu Rise. After being undercover for a long time, her relationship with Xie Wei has become as close as sisters, although the latter still has not said anything to her.
There are only a few words about that person, but Li Xiaolin has her own observation and judgment. She feels that the two people are not in a formal relationship, at least not to that point yet. It is more like they like each other but cannot be together due to various factors.
Tangled state.
After further analysis and judgment, it seems that the person is deliberately avoiding Xie Wei.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why she has been undercover for so long, but she has not met even one private meeting between the two, and there is not even a sign.
To be honest, as the time spent with Xie Wei continued to lengthen, Li Xiaolin's feelings towards that person, or more accurately, her resentment, actually increased day by day. Although such emotions seemed very unprofessional for her status.
, but she couldn't help it, especially when she often saw Xie Wei holding the butterfly brooch in a daze when she was alone, which made her feel even more uncomfortable...
It's so heartless. It turns out that all men are pigs! They are also blind pigs. Even such a good lover doesn't know how to be sure!
Of course, complaints are complaints. As an excellent intelligence officer, Li Xiaolin's basic skills are still there. From a professional perspective, she has analyzed that person's psychological thoughts countless times and guessed the reasons and motives for avoiding him countless times.
After analyzing it for a while, she was shocked to find that there were too many reasons. Only the identity of the killer and the inability to control himself could explain all the problems...
She felt that Xie Wei must have thought the same way, so she couldn't help but show a sad expression just now. After all, to a certain extent, what the fortune-telling stall owner said was not wrong. Excluding the nonsense around her
Options aside, what Xie Wei wants in her heart is indeed too far away. There is such a huge gap between ordinary people and professional killers that no one can do anything about it...
What a bad fate!
Sighing secretly, Li Xiaolin once again looked at Xie Wei's seemingly calm side face, her expression of talking and laughing calmly, guessing the bitterness in the other person's heart at this time, her nose couldn't help but feel sour, and she couldn't help but look away... Huh?
Two lines of sight collided inadvertently in the distance, and they were immediately separated!
Li Xiaolin's feet stagnated slightly, and she subconsciously turned her head, calmly picking up the milk tea in her hand, and at the same time, she quickly glanced away from the corner of her eye.
It was a food stall selling claypot rice, and business was booming. There was a long queue at the door. And across the crowd, there was a young man who didn't look like an out-of-town tourist from the way he was dressed. He was holding a
Just a skewer, wandering around at the back of the queue with nothing to do. This is not surprising at all. They are out looking for food. There are many such diners in the night market.
But the look in the other person's eyes just now was not right. After accidentally looking at each other, the change in expression in an instant was even more unnatural. Especially now that I observed that the young man's coat had a large skull print on it. After Li Xiaolin retrieved her memory,
I have some vague impression, I must have seen it more than once... No!
Have you finally discovered it... Seeing Li Xiaolin's sudden tenseness and then slowly relaxing, Tang Chao, who was following him, took a hard bite of the pancake in his hand and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Yes, he had noticed it a long time ago. Probably when they left the fortune-telling stalls and walked out of the Tin Hau Temple, he noticed someone following and monitoring them in the dark.
At the beginning, Tang Chao was still a little unsure. After all, the current environment was too noisy and was not conducive to counter-reconnaissance. However, the other party's tracking methods were really clumsy and had no skills at all. It was as if it was obvious.
And it's not just the young man wearing a skull top, who is probably worried that he will be lost accidentally in this environment, there are also several people scattered around. Wherever they go, the other person will follow them. It seems that they are
We should wait until they leave the night market before taking action.
It was confirmed that they were being followed, especially after observing the behavior of those people and finding out that they were not professionals, but gangsters who helped fight the five scum. Tang Chao was actually a little confused. The first thing he thought about was whether they had exposed their wealth and met
Robbery.
But he soon rejected this conjecture, because most of the time the other party's eyes were not on Xie Wei and the others, but on him, this little transparent person...Gan!
After the scope was suddenly narrowed, a guess was made in his mind. Of course, no matter what, it was difficult for Tang Chao to have an attack at the moment. He couldn't even warn him verbally, so he could only move closer to Li Xiaolin intentionally or unintentionally.
Thinking about it in the Tang Dynasty, as long as he stood next to Li Xiaolin and swept his eyes, the latter would definitely be alert. After all, those Zhan Wu Zha's tracking and surveillance methods were really good!
But what Tang Chao never expected was that for a quarter of an hour, the eldest lady next to him didn’t know what he was thinking. She almost walked out of the night market as if she was possessed by a demon, but there was no reaction at all! Really, he even wanted to call.
Go back to the Jiuzhou Rise Lingjiang branch and ask Zong Qing to think carefully about whether he should come here as an undercover agent. What the hell...
Is this what a professional agent is doing?

"Ah, it's really delicious. Have you finished eating all the spicy crab? It's so fast... Where's yours, little handsome guy?"
Looking at Li Xiaolin who looked unsatisfied, Tang Chao curled his lips expressionlessly and secretly complained about his poor acting skills, but he still cooperated and spread his hands to indicate that he was done eating.
"What should I do? I still want to eat. How about we buy more and take it back to the hotel to eat?" Li Xiaolin suggested.
"Do you want to go back..." Looking at the night market archway exit in front of her, Xie Wei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing this, and looked at Sally next to her. The latter shrugged indifferently, "It doesn't matter, it's still early anyway, why don't we just go shopping again.
"
"But your boyfriend is coming soon, don't delay your date." This is the reason why Xie Wei is in trouble. Not long ago, Sally received a call from her boyfriend who is a policeman, saying that he will get off work early today and make an appointment.
Watching movies or something nearby.
"It's okay. I'll make a call and ask him to wait." Sally looked very professional. She was about to take out her mobile phone when she heard this, but Li Xiaolin, whose eyes lit up when she heard this, raised her hand to stop her, "Your boyfriend is coming over.
?when?"
"Ah? Don't you know? I told you..."
"Uh...haha, sorry, I was distracted just now and didn't hear..."
Hearing this, Tang Chao rolled his eyes silently beside him. Sister, are you sure you are distracted and not sleepwalking?
However, he understood Li Xiaolin's intention in an instant. Indeed, they were just gangsters who were not worthy of publicity. There was no need to make a big fanfare to contact Zong Qing who was far away in Lingjiang. It was very troublesome to go through the procedures. It was better to use the hands of the local police to solve it, which was quick and convenient.
"It's better to ask your boyfriend to come over quickly. It's best to call a few colleagues." Looking at Xie Wei and others who were stunned for a moment, Li Xiaolin pretended to be serious and lowered her voice, "Don't turn your head, don't panic, and
Don’t doubt it. Trust my intuition, I’m very experienced in this area... We are being targeted by several perverts!”
