Chapter 586: Find someone who can get into the water
Qianhai after snow has a unique scenery.
The weeping willows on the shore are covered with snow, as if they were made of jasper.
The dark water surface in front, under the moonlight, looks like a large piece of smooth obsidian when viewed from a high position, quiet but with a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.
The man took advantage of the darkness and came to the waterside, stretched his neck and looked around.
Du Fei concluded that he must be waiting for someone, so he simply let Xiao Hei fall into a nearby tree.
But the man was pacing back and forth on the shore, exhaling white breath from his mouth, and rubbing his hands together as if he was about to rub them out.
After waiting for a while, no one came to contact him.
Du Fei felt that he had consumed a lot of energy. Although he had not reached the limit yet, he had to cut off his vision and take a rest first.
To avoid being stretched at critical moments.
I was cursing in my heart that the person who came to contact me was too naughty and waited for such a long time. .??.
After taking a short rest, Du Fei quickly regained vision synchronization.
Almost five minutes passed.
Du Fei looked at the man again and couldn't help but said "Huh".
Because this person is no longer where he was just now, and is walking north along the shore of Qianhai, leaving a series of clear footprints on the snow.
"That's not right~ Why did you move?"
Du Fei secretly thought something was wrong. If this person was really in contact with his accomplices, he shouldn't leave easily.
There was Xiao Hei watching him just now. If someone really came again, he would definitely be reminded and there would be no way he would miss it.
This made Du Fei suspicious. Could it be that he had guessed wrong from the beginning and that this man who came to the beach was not looking for someone to meet him?
"Then why is he here in the middle of the night?"
Du Fei was wondering when the man suddenly stopped.
Turning his head to look at the quiet water in the dark night, he seemed to have made up his mind, turned around and took a step forward.
After taking this step, the toes of his shoes were already hanging in the air, and if his feet slipped, he would fall into the water.
In this season, the water temperature is freezing cold. Regardless of whether it is wet or not, if you fall in, you will most likely die.
Du Fei's heart moved.
Could it be that this person is not looking for someone to connect with, but is here to commit suicide?
Thinking of this, I was slightly distracted, and then I saw a splash on the water.
Du Fei said "fuck", but found that the man was still standing on the shore and did not jump down at all.
The splash of water just now was the bag he picked up in his hand and threw it into the sea in front of him.
After the man threw away his bag, it seemed as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.
He took a long breath and quickly left the place.
When Du Fei saw him leaving, he glanced towards the beach, remembered the approximate location of where he had thrown the object, and then asked Xiao Hei to follow him.
Although the route was different from when he came here, the man was very familiar with the terrain as he was twisting and turning in the alley.
He didn't go anywhere else and went directly back to Du Fei's compound.
Quickly pass through the front and middle yards and return to the west house in the backyard.
Xiao Hei followed and landed on the window sill of the porch outside the house.
The windows of this west room are framed with glass, and although the curtains are drawn in the room, they are made of scraps of cloth and are barely hung, with seams exposed on all sides.
Du Fei adjusted his viewing angle and saw what was going on inside through the gap in the curtain.
The man just now came back and was taking off his coat.
This is a tall, straight-looking middle-aged man, wearing glasses and with a three-quarter-parted hair. He is about thirty-six or seventeen years old.
There was also a woman in the room, who was smaller than the man and of middle-to-upper-class appearance. She took the man's coat and said something.
In addition to the two adults, there were two half-grown children who had already fallen asleep in the back room next to them.
Seeing this, Du Fei realized more and more that this person was probably not a lurker.
First of all, this person's actions outside just now were full of flaws, and he didn't look like someone who had been specially trained at all.
Secondly, it is normal to pretend to be a husband and wife in order to deceive others, but with two children, isn’t it too much trouble?
At this point, Du Fei already understood that he was most likely mistaken this time.
But he was still very curious, what was the background of these two couples, so mysterious in the middle of the night, what did they throw into the sea?
Du Fei disconnected vision synchronization.
Lean on the Arhat bed, close your eyes, rest your mind, and restore your energy.
I'm still thinking about what happened just now, and I'm even more curious about what's in that pocket?
It's a pity that he has no way to salvage it now.
This made Du Fei's mind become more active.
There are little crows on the ground, little black ones in the sky, and little red and little gray ones on the ground. It’s time to get one that can swim in the water.
Thinking of this, Du Fei was still slightly excited.
Think carefully about what to choose for modification.
During this period, Du Fei got a lot of good things from Wang Xiaodong, Diao Guodong, and Zhang Ye.
Through Chen Fangshi's determination, these things are all priceless treasures, and the white light and blue light contained in them have filled the portable space.
This made him eager to try, and this time he wanted to play a big game.
In the past, using the portable space to transform Xiao Wu and the others was too shocking, so I had always been wary of going too far.
Take Xiao Wu, for example, it's fair to say that now, but if it were older, no one would believe it if it was a cat.
There is also the little black crow, which flies in the sky all day long. If it is obviously larger than other crows, it is definitely the best target for slingshots and air guns.
Xiaohong and Xiaohui, the two ‘underground workers’, are not easy to see, but they are too big to It's inconvenient to go underground.
This time Du Fei decided to get one that swims in the water, so he no longer had these worries.
With the cover of the water, even if you get a big guy, you won't be discovered easily.
In addition, water that is calm on the surface is far more dangerous than on land. There are various predators hidden in the water.
If you get a small fish or shrimp, it will only take two or three days before it is eaten by natural enemies. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time!
Du Fei thought about it and decided that ordinary fish and shrimp would definitely not work.
It must be defensive, preferably fierce...
But now it is November, and it is not easy to see fresh fish and shrimps.
Du Fei thought about it over and over but couldn't make up his mind, so he simply waited until Sunday to go to the Flower, Bird and Fish Market.
Two more days pass.
Since the night before yesterday, I found someone throwing things into the sea.
Du Fei went to the police station to check with his friends afterwards.
The couple who lived in the west room in the backyard of the Zhonglu courtyard were called Lu Haishan and Yin Xiumei.
Lu Haishan works in a precision instrument factory. The woman is not at work and takes care of her children at home.
Just looking at the information on the surface, there is nothing wrong with these two people.
Moreover, at the Precision Instrument Factory, there is a complete file of Lu Haishan.
This person has been working in a precision instrument factory since liberation, and there is no possibility of him being switched.
And over there at the rolling mill.
After learning that there was a problem in the Finance Department, Li Mingfei did not take any action, as if he was still unaware.
I don't know how he will respond next.
But Qin Jingrou's benefits were immediate.
Last night, Qin Huairou came over and mentioned that Zhao Xinlan, who was supervising Qin Jingrou in the finance department, had no idea how Li Mingfei greeted her and became enthusiastic towards Qin Jingrou.
Zhao Xinlan knew before that Qin Jingrou got into finance through her relationship with Xu Daimao from the Materials Department.
Although Xu Daimao is a popular person in the factory, other departments have to give him face.
But Zhao Xinlan feels that finance is the leader’s confidant.
Besides, Zhao Xinlan had already found out that Qin Jingrou and Xu Daimao were not related to each other. It was because Qin Jingrou's cousin lived in the same hospital as Xu Daimao, so she didn't take Qin Jingrou seriously at all before.
Unexpectedly, Director Li's secretary actually came over to say hello and asked her to take care of Qin Jingrou.
What a concept!
Zhao Xinlan was confused at the time.
She is not stupid, she can work as a secretary in a big factory.
What Xu Daimao is, is just a cover. The person standing behind Qin Jingrou who has been causing trouble for a long time is actually Director Li!
That evening, it was almost time to get off work.
Du Fei felt a little lazy in the office.
After winter came, cotton curtains were hung in the office and the stove was lit in the room.
These days, probably because of the cold weather, many people have calmed down.
There are crowds of people on the street, there are fewer young people wandering around, and there are fewer people who are trying to make excuses.
This has significantly reduced the number of things at the street office.
Wait until get off work.
It was just five o'clock and it was already dark.
Du Fei rode his bicycle to pick up Zhu Ting.
Zhu Ting came out very early today and waited at the door for a while.
When Du Fei arrived, Zhu Ting sat on the rear frame of the bicycle without even getting off the car.
She seemed to be in a good mood, and she sat down and talked about some things that happened at work today.
This is their daily habit.
Share work and life with each other, and sometimes come up with ideas to make ordinary days less boring.
After riding along the main road for a while, Du Fei remembered that tomorrow is Sunday and asked, "Hey~ go to the Flower, Bird and Fish Market tomorrow?"
When Zhu Ting heard this, she also became interested.
Although she does not keep fish, Zhu's mother likes flowers and has taken her to the flower, bird and fish market several times before.
Zhu Ting doesn't really like the smell there, but it doesn't hurt to go there occasionally.
"Okay~ Why did you remember to go there? Do you want to raise some little goldfish?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "It's better to forget about raising fish. Don't let that guy Xiao Wu get into his belly."
Zhu Ting also laughed and was about to say something else.
But at this moment, Du Fei suddenly said "Hey" and looked across the road.
Zhu Ting was stunned and followed his gaze.
I saw two people standing across the road, next to the entrance of an alley.
Because it was already dark, Zhu Ting could not see clearly the appearance of the two people.
But Du Fei's eyesight was not affected at all, and he could see at a glance that one of the two people was his junior high school classmate Zhang Huabing.
And the other one was actually not a stranger, he was actually Zhou Changli!
Du Fei was slightly surprised, when did these two people get together?
From the way the two of them were talking, it seemed like they were having some kind of argument, but because they were too far apart, and they had just gotten off work and there was heavy traffic on the road, it was impossible to hear them.
Du Fei felt guilty in his heart, but he didn't stop because of this.
I only knew in my heart that Zhang Huabing and Zhou Changli knew each other.
When I sent Zhu Ting home, as usual I didn't see Dad Zhu.
The end of the year is coming soon, and Dad Zhu’s work is getting busier and busier, and he rarely comes back before ten o’clock.
After dinner in the evening, Du Fei came from Zhu Ting
Back home.
But I was thinking about seeing Zhang Huabing and Zhou Changli together after get off work.
Think again of the relationship between Zhang Huabing and Li Zhiming.
Du Fei couldn't help but think, do Li Zhiming and Zhou Changli also know each other?
Du Fei traveled through time and knew that Zhou Changli was nicknamed the Little Bastard. Although he was not very prominent now, in two years he would suddenly emerge and become a well-known figure in the old city.
But in the end, Zhou Changli faced off against Li Yuanchao and died at the hands of Li Yuanchao.
Now, Zhou Changli actually has a subtle connection with Li Zhiming.
Du Fei also knew that although Li Zhiming and Li Yuanchao were cousins, Li Zhiming secretly found someone to keep an eye on Li Yuanchao, wondering what An was thinking.
Until now, when Du Fei looked at Li Zhiming, he felt like it was smoke and mirrors.
I can't tell whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, let alone what he is thinking...
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out.
Du Fei simply gave up and looked at the situation in the Shichahai compound through his field of vision.
Apart from going out that night, there was no other suspicious behavior on Lu Haishan's side.
Du Fei has basically ruled out the suspicion that Lu Haishan is Zhang Xiaoqin's contact person.
As for the others, there are still no clues.
Then go to Xiao Hui's side.
Zhang Xiaoqin went to bed early and read an expired magazine as usual.
Withdrawing his sight, Du Fei washed his face and feet, went upstairs early and waited.
Today is Saturday. As usual, Qin Huairou will definitely come over in the evening...
The next morning, the weather was quite nice.
It snowed a few days ago, and the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, but the sun was shining brightly for several days.
Yesterday was better. Du Fei went to pick up Zhu Ting first and had a bite of breakfast.
The two of them rode bicycles, heading north along Gongzhufen, and went straight to the flower, bird and fish market in Guanyuan.
At this time, there was no hall with a back cover. It was usually a large pigeon market, and people would set up stalls before dawn in the morning.
Only during the holidays do people buy flowers, birds, fish and insects, mostly flowers and birds.
Usually it's only open for one morning, and by about ten o'clock there won't be anyone around.
If they catch up with Red Armband sweeping the streets, they will disperse in a rush, and they will all run away in an instant.
Du Fei and Zhu Ting came over.
I found a car-watching aunt from afar, paid for the bicycle to be deposited, and then walked into the market together.
Du Fei traveled through time and visited the Flower, Bird and Fish Market for the first time.
He has no interest in raising these things. The main purpose of coming here this time is to see if he can find someone who can go into the water.
When I saw the result, my heart suddenly dropped.
At this time, unlike later generations, you could just buy an electric heating rod to heat the fish tank.
In winter, it is not easy to keep the fish well.
Moreover, there is a stall selling fish here, and the red armband is really there. The bird seller just picks up the cage and leaves. How can you move the big basin of water where the fish is sold~
After walking a long way, Du Fei met two fish sellers. They both caught their own fish, and the fish were frozen solid.
Du Fei looked at the hard fish hanging there and thought that his trip today was in vain.
Even if I walk further in, I'm afraid I won't find what I'm looking for.
But now that you've come, you can't just turn around and leave.
Zhu Ting was in a good mood, looking here and there, and even listened to the chirping of grasshoppers for a long time in front of an old man who was selling them.
The old man was in his fifties, with a ravaged face, and seemed to have quite a story.
There were no radios in the past, so it was not easy to hear anything in winter. You had to raise finches or grasshoppers.
Raising grasshoppers is especially difficult.
After the frost in autumn, wild grasshoppers will die. Only artificially raised ones can survive if they are well kept warm.
Put it in the grasshopper gourd, put it in your arms when you go out, and warm it with body heat. The grasshopper will start chirping loudly and brightly. When you walk outside, you will call someone with a face.
But in the early years, ordinary families had enough money to eat, and how could they have the leisure to feed themselves with tinkering toys?
Therefore, those who can raise grasshoppers must not only be rich and powerful, but at least have a well-off family and have enough food and clothing.
Although the grasshopper seller looks down and out, his energy and spirit are still somewhat different.
However, Du Fei did not explore his past leisurely life.
I listened to the grasshopper chirping for a while with Zhu Ting.
That thing kept making a "coo" sound over and over again. Although it was quite loud, it was just a fresh sound. After a long time, it became annoying.
The two of them continued walking forward.
Du Fei simply let go of the game because he had stopped thinking about it before coming here.
But he had already made plans in his mind. Last time Yang Shu and his wife came here, they said that Yang Shu’s partner worked in a fishery company.
I just happened to go back to Yangshu to see if there was anything from the aquatic products company that met the requirements.
Who would have thought that someone would come~
Du Fei had just made up his mind and was walking forward when Zhu Ting said "Hey? What are you looking at over there?"
Du Fei looked in the direction of her finger.
But at the entrance of an alley more than ten meters ahead, there were many people watching the excitement.
Du Fei was curious and immediately squeezed in with Zhu Ting to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw the situation inside clearly, he couldn't help but say "Hey".
The two people setting up the stall inside were actually Yang Shu and his wife!< br>
In front of them, there was a large enamel basin with a net covering the mouth.
There was a big guy lying inside, not much smaller than the washbasin.
Lying inside, motionless, was a snapping turtle!
This kind of thing has long been ruined in later generations.
But at this time, people didn't know much about snapping turtles, and thought they looked ferocious and not a monster.
People were pointing and talking around.
Some people even say that it may be the mythical beast Baxia carrying the stone tablet.
Du Fei's eyes lit up.
This stuff is great!
Isn't it just that when you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow?
Du Fei hurriedly called out "Lao Yang, brother and sister" and squeezed in.
The poplar tree was a little uninterested and looked down at the basin.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and immediately smiled and said, "Hey, Lao Du, what a coincidence! You're here for a stroll too."
Du Fei called Zhu Ting over and introduced them to each other.
As soon as they saw an acquaintance coming, most of the people watching dispersed.
These people are just watching the excitement. Yangshu is asking for two yuan. This thing cannot be eaten or used. It looks so big that I get goosebumps when I look at it. I don’t know if it is poisonous. That prodigal will spend it.
Buy it for two dollars.
Du Fei took out his cigarette, handed one to Yang Shu, and poured it into the basin. "What's wrong with you? Why is the big driver of a trading company here practicing stall work?"
Yang Shu took a breath, raised her chin at her wife, and said helplessly, "She has to come, so what can I do?"
It turns out that the aquatic products company where Yang Shu’s wife works has a lot of power, and the fishing team below has to find ways to curry favor with her.
If you rely on mountains, you can eat mountains; if you rely on water, you can eat water.
Every now and then, each fishing team would bring some of the rare things they caught.
This time I got a giant snapping turtle from nowhere.
Another rare thing about this snapping turtle is that it probably has the albino gene. The skin on its carapace is yellow-white, and there is a dull texture on the carapace. It looks better than the ordinary black snapping turtles.
Although it looked scary, Yang Shu's daughter-in-law was very happy to get the things for free and insisted on selling them in the market.
Yang Shu couldn't resist her, so he had to follow her.
It’s true that you can’t find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!
Du Fei laughed and said, "Okay, don't squat here in the cold weather. Give this big bastard to me, and I'll treat you to a nice meal." Then he looked at Yang Shu's wife and said, "Brothers and sisters, what do you think?
No?"
Yangshu’s daughter-in-law is not a foolish woman without eyesight. Besides, a lot of Yangshu’s wife gets money from the Wang family every month, and their family doesn’t live by selling it for two yuan more.
Now that Du Fei has spoken, of course he will not refute his face.
Yang Shu hugged the people who were still watching the fun and said, "Dear young and old gentlemen, I'm sorry, but I won't sell it today, let's leave~"
When setting up a stall in Pigeon Market, everyone is accustomed to seeing people come and go as they please.
At this time, a tall young man came over. Seeing Yang Shu and the others were about to leave, he quickly came over, nodded and bowed, "Brother Yang, are you leaving so early?"
Yang Shu chuckled and said, "Let's go, I met a good friend."
The young man was very enthusiastic and helped tie the pot containing the snapping turtle to the rear frame of Yang Shu's bicycle.
Du Fei asked casually, "Your friend? Do you need to shout together?"
Yang Shu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, my third brother is here to watch the market."
Du Fei understood it as soon as he heard it.
Yang Shu, the third brother, is probably from the Taoist community, so he must have some ability to occupy this pigeon market.
Du Fei didn't ask any more questions. The most important thing on his mind right now was the snapping turtle.
I couldn't help but think to myself, if I put this guy in a portable space, what would it look like?
But before that, Yang Shu and his wife had to be sent away.
The reason why Du Fei didn't directly say to buy it with money just now was because he knew that Yang Shu itself was not short of money.
If you really want to buy it, Yangshu definitely can't ask for money. It will be embarrassing to push and push for two yuan.
So just forget about money and just buy a meal. Five or six yuan is enough for four people to go to the restaurant, and both parties are decent.
The four of them did not go far, and Yang Shu happened to know that there was a good hotel near Yuyuantan.
I ordered six dishes in total, four meat and two vegetarian.
One thing to say, the chef of this restaurant is really skilled in cooking and the cooking heat is just right.
There is also Shaoguo wine brewed in-house, which tastes good and is not expensive.
The total cost of the meal was less than five yuan.
During the dinner, Yang Shu drank a few sips of wine, his face flushed and his ears were hot, and he suddenly asked, "By the way, have you seen Zhang Huabing recently?"
Last time Yang Shu reminded Du Fei to be careful about Zhang Huabing.
Du Fei said "Hmm" "Last time I picked up Xiaoting from get off work, I happened to see him going to the district to do some work. I met him at the gate."
During their chat just now, Yang Shu and his wife already knew that Zhu Ting was working in the district.
Du Fei was jealous and asked Mushu, "How did you know?"
Yang Shu said, "Two days ago, I went to Dongcheng Branch with our director to do some work. I happened to see him coming out. I chatted with him for a few words and mentioned that you were here..."
Du Fei didn't care what Yang Shu and Zhang Huabing said, but his heart moved.
He just saw Zhang Huabing and Zhou Changli getting together yesterday, why did he go to the other side again?
