Xu Siqi wore a pair of sunglasses and walked around among the bustling crowd.
After ten minutes, he stopped.
A young woman and a little girl were sitting on a bench, talking in silence. There were two oversized suitcases at their feet. They looked like travelers about to go on a long trip.
The little girl looks about five or six years old. She has two braids and a chubby face. She looks very cute.
"Mom, where is dad?"
"Dad went to buy a ticket."
"We are only allowed to take the train if we buy a ticket, right?"
"right."
"How come dad has been here for so long?"
"There are so many people buying tickets."
"Mom, I'm thirsty."
"What do you want to drink?"
"Well, I'd like to drink orange soda to cool it down."
The young woman smiled and said: "You know you want it to be cool. Sit here and don't move. Be good, and mom will buy it for you."
"I'm helping mom look at the box," the little girl said in a sweet voice.
Xu Siqi could not understand even half of the conversation between mother and daughter, except for the word "mom" that appeared frequently.
Even if he didn't understand it, he knew that this obscure pronunciation was the Zhejiang Jiangshan dialect that he often heard recently.
There was a cold drink stall not far away. The young woman got up and walked over. The little girl sat alone on the bench, staring at her mother's back.
Xu Siqi sat on the bench and glanced at the little girl next to him.
The little girl was very vigilant. She immediately put her hand on the suitcase and muttered: "My suitcase."
Xu Siqi smiled, and suddenly came up with two sentences in Jiangshan dialect, and then said in Mandarin: "Little girl, what uncle just said, do you know how to say it in Mandarin?"
The little girl remained silent and looked at Xu Siqi with her big eyes flickering.
Xu Siqi took out a handful of candies from his pocket and said with a smile: "Tell uncle, these chocolate candies are all yours."
Sweet chocolate candies are extremely harmful to children.
The little girl immediately said: "Virgo, does he know about Crow's situation? You are Crow's only contact person, and this is your mission to Shanghai."
The little girl's Mandarin pronunciation is not very standard, and she still has an obvious Zhejiang accent.
For example, Virgo is translated into Kitchen Table, and Task is translated into Person Five.
However, for Xu Siqi, this was enough.
When they were in Ji'e Lane in Nanjing, Jiang Bin had a brief conversation with Boss Dai. They spoke Jiangshan dialect. Although Xu Siqi couldn't understand it, he remembered the pronunciation in his heart.
——Virgo, does he know about the situation of the crow?
This sentence was said by Jiang Bin.
Then Boss Dai replied: You are the only contact person of Crow, and this is your mission to Shanghai!
Judging from the context, Crow should be a code name.
Xu Siqi keenly thought, could the crow be the spy?
Theoretically, it's entirely possible.
Boss Dai is far away in Nanjing and has no skills. In order to exchange information with the spies in a timely manner, he specially appointed Jiang Bin as the only contact person...
Seeing a stranger talking to her daughter, the young woman paid for the soda and hurried back.
When she came closer, she saw that Xu Siqi was handsome and gentle. The young woman was somewhat relieved and said, "Sir, are you okay?"
Xu Siqi said: "Are you the child's mother?"
"Yes."
"Everyone is there at the station, so try not to let the children out of your sight."
"Who are you……"
"When my brother was a child, he was abducted by bad guys near the station."
"Have you found it again now?"
"No."
"It's terrible, the traffickers deserve to die!"
"Madam, where are you from?"
"People from Zhejiang came to Shanghai to visit relatives and friends. We were supposed to stay a little longer, but my father-in-law suddenly fell ill and sent a letter urging us to go back..."
Xu Siqi's appearance is very attractive to women.
The young woman was only in her early twenties at most, and it was always easy to get familiar with people her age. She thought Xu Siqi was also a passenger waiting for the bus, so she started chatting endlessly.
A man walked over quickly. He looked at Xu Siqi suspiciously and said to the young woman, "Who is he?"
"Oh, my daughter was sitting here alone just now. This gentleman thought that no one was looking after him, so he kindly came over to ask..." the young woman replied.
"Huh, good intentions, look at his squinty look, the two of you are flirting..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who do you think your wife is!"
“…”
"Have you bought the tickets?"
"I bought it. Where were you just now?"
"The kid is thirsty, I'm going to buy a soda."
"I just know how to buy useless things..."
"Are cigarettes useful? If you don't smoke for a day, it's like you have lost your soul!"
“…”
The two of them spoke Jiangshan dialect, so there was no need to worry about the presence of outsiders.
Watching the family of three pass the ticket gate, Xu Siqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He came to Shanghai North Railway Station today just to find a Jiangshan person and ask about the conversation between Boss Dai and Jiang Bin.
Children given chocolate and soda will soon forget what they asked.
Moreover, in the vast sea of people, a one-in-a-million chance encounter like this will never happen again.
…
On the way back, Xu Siqi bought some breakfast. It was still early before work, so it was not too late to go home and have a meal before leaving.
Half an hour later, I returned to Shenjiang Apartment.
He parked the car in front of the apartment building, carried the breakfast and hurried upstairs. Before he could take out the keys and open the door, a faint phone ringing could be heard in the house.
After entering the house, Xu Siqi reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Excuse me, is this the Xu Mansion?" Jiang Bin's voice was on the other end of the phone.
"I can't talk about Xu Mansion. My surname is indeed Xu."
"Are you Mr. Xu Siqi?"
"Yes."
"Hello Mr. Xu, I am the business manager of Jiangsu Bank. My surname is Jiang."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"That's right. To open an account with Jiangsu Bank, you still need to provide detailed personal information. If it's convenient, we can meet and discuss it in detail."
"Can."
"Are you free today?"
"Tell me, what time is it?"
"At ten o'clock in the morning, just come to the Bank of Jiangsu, the business department on the second floor. Oh, there is road construction on Maierxi Road. If you drive, you need to go around Xiaodongmen."
"OK."
"Then don't bother me. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
The business manager of Jiangsu Bank is Jiang Bin’s cover identity.
He mentioned the road construction on Maiersi Road, which meant that they would meet near the small east gate. This was a matter of prior agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Siqi washed his hands, sat at the dining table and slowly ate breakfast.
There was a noise in the corridor.
Xu Siqi got up and came to the door. He opened the door and looked for a while. In Room 15 at the end of the corridor, a new neighbor had moved in.
