The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 718: Looking for Becker

As the breeze blows through the streets of Sofia, the picture of this ancient city slowly unfolds in the wind.

The women's skirts fluttered slightly, and the children ran and played in the wind. Their laughter was carried far away by the wind, echoing in the streets like silver bells.

This is a beautiful and charming city. When I retire in the future, maybe I should go here for vacation with Miss Chen.

Li Aiguo leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes in the breeze.

Chen Dong walked out of the alley with a chill in his voice, tearing the beautiful picture apart.

"Walk?"

"Walk."

Li Aiguo did not ask about the result, and Chen Dong did not explain the process. The two looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Li Aiguo stood up and returned the chair to the old man, said thank you, and followed Chen Dong to walk towards the department store.

"Hey, what happened to those two people just now? They won't follow us again, right?" Deputy Chief Engineer Wang looked back with some concern.

Seeing Li Aiguo and Chen Dong walking away, Deputy Chief Engineer Wang was startled and hurriedly caught up with them, following closely behind the two.

The department store is the largest shopping mall in Sofia, twice as big as the Beijing Department Store.

Li Aiguo and Chen Dong were just like ordinary customers. They spent a full half hour shopping in the shopping mall, carefully selecting and buying three common local gadgets.

"It seems that the other party only sent two people this time."

"I also think so."

The two looked at each other again, paid the money, and walked towards the entrance of the department store.

Deputy Chief Engineer Wang then realized that the reason why Li Aiguo and Chen Dong were taking their time in choosing gifts like a woman was that they were actually observing whether there were other followers.

"Chen Dong is obviously a member of a special department, so he must be very brave. How can Li Aiguo, a train driver, be so capable?"

Deputy Chief Engineer Wang muttered a few words quietly, looked up, and saw that the two figures were almost disappearing at the entrance of the department store, so he hurriedly followed them.

"Hey, wait for me, I'm the leader!"

After leaving the department store, the group went to a hotel in the east. Li Aiguo walked in and smiled at the waitress behind the counter and asked, "Good day, lovely lady. We are tourists from afar. Is there a Middle Eastern man named Becker living here?"

"Good day, sir. You mean Mr. Becker? He has checked out."

The waitress, who was dressed in traditional clothes, took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to me. “Before he left, Mr. Becker left this letter for me to give to someone who wants to know about him.”

Oh, you are really cautious.

Li Aiguo always liked to deal with cautious people. After taking the letter, he shook his head at the waitress and said, "Thank you, dear lady."

The waitress shook her head: "You're welcome."

Li Aiguo walked out of the hotel with the letter, and Chen Dong asked, "How is it?"

"The other party left an address."

After seeing the letter, Chen Dong's expression became a little solemn. He took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on his right hand. Then he tore open the envelope. Inside the envelope was an ordinary piece of paper.

Li Aiguo took it and took a look. There was a crooked route drawn on the piece of paper, and at the end of the route there was a treasure chest.

"It seems that this Mr. Becker is an interesting man."

"I can't wait to meet this guy." Memorizing the route in his mind and putting the note back into the envelope, Li Aiguo set off again with Chen Dong and Deputy Chief Engineer Wang.

The route is not complicated. In addition, Sofia is one of the few well-planned cities these days, and the road signs are clear.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Aiguo arrived at an unnamed street.

At the street corner, several children were playing "Isp" on the ground. It is a toy made of wooden blocks, similar to a jigsaw puzzle.

One of the children, wearing a Middle Eastern hat, caught Li Aiguo's attention. The child was sticking his butt out and was happy to have won the "Isp" from his companion.

Li Aiguo just glanced at the child and took Chen Dong and Deputy Chief Engineer Wang into the street.

The streets are narrow and shabby inside, forming a sharp contrast with the spacious and clean streets outside.

The people coming and going on the streets are of all kinds. In addition to local Bulgarians, you can see Middle Easterners, Western Europeans and even a few black guys.

After walking more than thirty meters along the street, Li Aiguo stopped in front of a spice shop.

This is called a spice store, but it is actually a grocery store. A wooden board is filled with all kinds of random things such as black pepper, white pepper, cinnamon, etc.

The owner of the spice shop was a bearded Middle Eastern man. Seeing the three people, he shook his head and said, "Good day, gentlemen. Are you guests from the East? The spices I have here are the best in the world."

What kind of lines are these? He really thinks he is an NPC in the game. Li Aiguo glanced at the moldy spices, raised his head and looked at the bearded man: "Good day, sir, we are here to see a Mr. Becker."

"Wait a moment." The bearded man looked at the three people deeply, walked out of the shop, and shouted twice towards the end of the street, as if he was calling the child's name.

Li Aiguo did not understand Iraqi language, nor could he understand it, but he smiled and said, "Sir, there is no need to shout. That kid in the hat is your hidden agent at the street corner, right? He is playing Isp with someone right now."

"Don't worry, the fact that we can get here already means that we have shaken off all the tails."

"This little guy is not reliable at all. Please forgive me, this is Mr. Becker's arrangement. Please don't mention these things when you meet Mr. Becker." The bearded man seemed a little afraid of Becker.

Li Aiguo became more interested in Becker and shook his head, "Please rest assured, we are here to do business, and businessmen always value harmony."

"You guys come with me."

The bearded man breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the shop with a few people.

The shop was filled with all kinds of spices, and the air was filled with pungent smells.

Li Aiguo had to cover his nose and follow behind the bags of spices until he reached the small warehouse at the back.

The bearded man took off his hat, patted on the back door of the warehouse, and shouted a few words in Iraqi.

After a while, the back door opened, and Li Aiguo and others walked in under the guidance of the bearded man.

Behind the door was not a street, but another warehouse. The person who opened the door had a pistol on his waist. Five middle-aged men in traditional Iraqi costumes were sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Li Aiguo and the other two come in, an elderly Iraqi stood up first. He walked over and extended his hand to Li Aiguo: "Dear Oriental guest, I am Becker."

Deputy Chief Engineer Wang was a little disappointed.

According to the information provided by the ministry, Becker was a big shot in the other organization, but how come he looked like just an ordinary person?

He has an average appearance, an average build, and doesn't seem to have any special features. He looks like an ordinary passerby.

Li Aiguo's expression became serious. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Becker: "Dear Mr. Becker, we are engineers from Datong Locomotive Factory."
