Lurker

Chapter 10
Li Xiangshang said: "That's right! Ten of the ten advertisers will compress the content and summarize the content. Try to reduce the words and reduce the cost."

Zhang Yu threw Li Xiangshang and Zhou Lin a cigarette.

Zhou Lin took out the lighter and lit Zhang Yu and Li Xiangshang.

Zhou Lin pretended to study the missing person notice.He pretended not to understand.Looking at Li Xiangshang: "Station Master, what does it say?"

Li Xiangshang smiled wryly: "We can't decipher it. Without the code, we don't know what it says."

Zhang Yu took a puff of cigarette and said, "This missing person notice must be the contact method of the secret agent. Since it was published in the Suzhou newspaper, it has something to do with Suzhou City."

Zhou Lin and Li Xiangshang nodded in unison.

It can't happen in Peiping. The secret agent wants to contact people in Peiping and post it on the advertisement column of the Suzhou newspaper.

Zhang Yu faced Zhou Lin: "We are going to hand over this task to your team."

Zhou Lin said in embarrassment: "There are three people left in our team. There are not enough people."

"Just for you to look up the person who advertised. Three is enough. I'll let Mark join in."

Zhou Lin stood up straight: "That's good! We obey Commander Ma's command!"

Zhang Yu nodded with satisfaction and called Mark.

Zhou Lin and Mark came to the big office and called Wang Qiang and Xiang Dong.The four drove a car and left Suzhou Station.

……

The reception room of the editorial department of Suzhou Newspaper.

A balding man in his forties walked in.This person is the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department.

"Who are you? I'm very busy. I'll give you three minutes to tell me why you are here." This man was quite arrogant.

Wang Qiang stood up, took out the blueprint and handed it over.

"Take a good look and see if you only give us 3 minutes."

The deputy editor-in-chief took over the blueprint and read it after flipping through it. "People from the Lixing Society. So what? My brother-in-law is from the Party Headquarters of SZ City..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Qiang slapped him across the face.

"We are handling the case according to order. Have you seen this officer?" Wang Qiang pointed to Mark and said, "He is from Nanjing! He has the right to kill you first. Your brother-in-law can't save you."

The deputy editor covered his face and looked at Wang Qiang angrily.

Being an associate editor is not a fuel-efficient lamp.He originally wanted to bring out his brother-in-law to let him know that he had a backer, so he had to be more polite to himself.

I don't know, the other party doesn't sell it at all.

"Sir, I'm just a showman, not a bad guy."

Zhou Lin sat there without moving, and said, "Whether you are a bad person or not is not up to you, but up to us. Sit down!"

"Yes!"

The deputy editor sat on the chair next to Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang took out a newspaper from his purse, flipped to the long missing person notice, and pointed at the missing person notice: "You took over the business of this missing person notice?"

The deputy editor took the newspaper and looked at it: "Sir, I took it."

Mark nodded with his finger: "Tell me about the missing person notice."

The deputy editor wiped the sweat from his brow. "This announcement was made yesterday afternoon."

Zhou Lin took a pen to record: "What time is it in the afternoon?"

"Six o'clock in the afternoon."

"Who will do it?"

The deputy editor took out the cigarette case from his pocket, thought about it, and put the cigarette back.

Zhou Lin stood up, took out a cigarette and handed one to the deputy editor.

After lighting a cigarette, he took a deep breath, and the deputy editor seemed to regain his energy. "I know the person who works."

Zhou Lin looked at Mark.

Mark stared at the deputy editor: "Is this person a celebrity in Suzhou City?"

"Not a celebrity, just an antique dealer. I am an antique lover. I often go to the antique market. So I know him."

"What's his name? How old is he?"

"Huang Ping. He's in his 30s."

Mark beckoned to Wang Qiang: "Go to the police station and get Huang Ping's file."

Wang Qiang responded and left the newspaper office.

The deputy editor-in-chief continued.

It turned out that at 06:30 yesterday afternoon, the deputy editor was getting ready to leave work.Because of his strong background, he only worked the day shift and not the night shift.

Just as he was about to walk out of the gate of the newspaper office, Huang Ping stopped him.

The two were acquaintances, and Huang Ping said directly that he wanted to post a missing person notice.

Seeing that it was a gift of money, the deputy editor enthusiastically invited Huang Ping to the office.

Huang Ping took out a piece of paper with a draft of the missing person notice written on it.

After reading the draft, the deputy editor reminded: "You have too many words on it. It is more than twice as long as other people's missing person notices. It will cost a lot of money."

Huang Ping hesitated for a moment and said: "Just according to the number of words above, not even a single word? Less."

Missing person notices are charged per word, and the deputy editor is eager for you to add more words.So, I took Huang Ping's nine yuan and arranged for it to be typed that night and published in the newspaper tomorrow.

After listening, Zhou Lin asked: "Is Huang Ping richer?"

"What about being rich? He just acts as a middleman to get some kickbacks and referral fees. He can't afford it every month."

Zhou Lin asked again: "Then he is generous?"

"On the contrary, he is rather stingy. Every time he eats in a restaurant with someone, someone else pays the bill."

Mark asked: "Then what do you think, his missing person notice..."

Deputy editor: "It must be done on behalf of someone else. Nine dollars is enough for him for three months. He would not spend money on advertising. When he hesitated at the time, it seemed that he wanted to reduce words and money. But he dared not reduce."

At this time, Wang Qiang came back and brought Huang Ping's information.

Huang Ping eats enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry.

He lives in an alley, where the house is cheap, and the rent is one yuan a month.

The four of Zhou Lin came to the alley.Found the house where Huang Ping lived.

It is said to be a house, but it is actually a firewood house.The firewood house is not next to the main house, but leans against the wall.But you have to go through the gate of the yard to get in and out.

Go east and find a lock on the door.

Zhou Lin looked in through the crack of the door, the room was too dark to see anything. "Mr. Ma. It seems that this guy has a problem."

Wang Qiang came over from the landlord and said: "I got to know the landlord and the neighbors around. According to them, Huang Ping's living habits are very regular. Every morning, he sleeps late at home. He doesn't get up until after twelve o'clock. Go to Eat at a small stall, and then go to the antique market to find customers. At night, he also goes to the dance hall to dance with people. Earn some tips."

Mark walked around the room and said, "Habits are broken! It's either external or internal."

Zhou Lin: "I went to spend a lot of money to post a missing person advertisement yesterday afternoon, and it came out early this morning. Is it on business? Or to avoid something?"

Wang Qiang said: "The landlord said that Huang Ping's house has been locked since dawn. Maybe he didn't come back last night."

Mark waved his hand: "Open the door."

Stepping forward to the east, he opened the door with three flicks and two flicks.

This room is damp, dark, and smelly.There was a dilapidated desk and a chair with one leg tied in the room.There is also a box.All that's left is a bed.

This bed is not the carved bed.It is made of three wooden boards and two long benches.The bed was very messy, there were clothes pushed outside the pillow and quilt, beside the bed against the wall.That should be Huang Ping's wardrobe.

Several people searched the room.In less than 10 minutes, every place in the room was searched.

"No abnormality!"

"Nothing was found."

"Nothing."

When the three of Zhou Lin reported the results, Mark was not surprised.

"Huang Ping is fine. He may have been used by someone."

Mark's idea has been recognized by everyone.No agent would publish a suspicious missing person notice in the newspaper.Doesn't that make people catch him?
"However, there is a real problem with the missing person notice. If we want to know who entrusted Huang Ping to advertise, we only need to catch Huang Ping for trial."

Mark called Zhang Yu and reported the situation here.

Zhang Yu also believes that it is necessary to open a gap in Huang Ping's body.Therefore, Zhang Yu ordered the four of Mark to stay behind and wait for Huang Ping to show up.

Zhou Lin suggested that four people should be divided into two groups.The reason is two people in each group.One is mutual supervision and restraint.The second is that one person can monitor Huang Ping's house, and the other can be used as logistics or replacement.When people eat whole grains, they eat and drink.The third is that in an emergency, the strength of two people is much stronger.

Mark agreed with Zhou Lin's opinion.Divide into two shifts.Zhou Lin is in the same class as Wang Qiang, and Mark is in the same class as Xiang Dong.

Zhou Lin proposed that he and Wang Qiang be in charge of the night shift.That is, from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am the next day.

The reason why he brought it up this way is that Zhou Lin has his own little Jiujiu.Tonight is the time for the tree snake to send the camphor tree to the abandoned small warehouse to send a report.If Zhou Lin's plan is successful, then everyone in Suzhou Station will be subject to censorship.

During this time period, Zhou Lin was not in Suzhou Station.Then, his suspicion is much lighter.So he found an alibi for himself.

Mark and Xiangdong didn't know what Zhou Lin was thinking.He thought Zhou Lin was taking care of them.

Squatting needs to prepare some things.At the very least, prepare something to eat, drink, smoke, and pass the time.Also, they had to wear weapons, ammunition and handcuffs.

In daily work, only personnel above the squadron leader can carry weapons.Zhou Lin and others are not qualified to carry guns with them.

Therefore, Mark had to go back and apply for weapons and ammunition, and then go to the street to buy some food and drink.Zhou Lin and Wang Qiang stayed here for an hour first, and after an hour, it was Mark's day shift.

Wang Qiang found the landlord, showed his ID, and expropriated a room.

The window of this room is facing Huang Ping's rental house.

Moving a chair, Wang Qiang sat inside the window.

The window has a tulle curtain.Through the curtains, you can see the situation outside, and you can even see the padlock on Huang Ping's gate.

As long as someone from Huang Ping's family came over, the people in this window could see it immediately.

Zhou Lin brought a bamboo recliner and placed it beside Wang Qiang.This chair was taken by them.Lying on a bamboo chair at night, facing the window, with a thin quilt covered, the vigil will not be very hard.

Wang Qiang turned his head, looked at Zhou Lin who was lying on the bamboo chair, and asked, "Old Zhou, do you think there is something wrong with this case?"

Zhou Lin didn't turn his head and said, "Yes!"

"What kind of person is it estimated?"
