Chapter 43 Tracking in the Alley
Cheng Shi took Deng Xin out of the corridor. After the two went down to the first floor, the handsome man had already walked out of the door!
The man stood at the door, stopped and looked around, then waved to the rickshaws that were waiting in a row at the door.
A rickshaw driver at the front of the queue immediately pulled up to the man, and the man got into the rickshaw and left.
Cheng Shiye and Deng Xin walked out of the gate, and Cheng Shi and Deng Xin also called two rickshaws over one after another.
After Cheng Shi got on the bus, he quickly said to the driver: "Follow the car in front!"
Although Deng Xin was very confused, but because of her trust in Cheng Shi, she also let the rickshaw follow Cheng Shi's rickshaw!
Pedestrians were coming and going on the road, and rickshaws were also coming in an endless stream, so the three of them on the road didn't look out of place at all!
The rickshaw in front walked a long distance before stopping. The man got off the car to pay, and Cheng Shi quickly asked the rickshaw driver to stop.
The man walked into a small alley that looked very deep. There were many small stalls at the entrance of the alley!
There is also a man selling cigarettes at the entrance of the alley. Most of the people on the street are Chinese.
Compared with other concessions, the management of the French Concession is very open. Whether it is patrols or managers, there is almost no discrimination against the Chinese.
The Board of Directors basically doesn’t care about minor matters. In addition, most of the police officers in the French Concession are Chinese, so more and more Chinese are living in the French Concession!
Cheng Shi quickly got out of the car to give him money, and when he was about to follow the alley, Deng Xin grabbed his arm!
Cheng Shi looked at Deng Xin doubtfully, and Deng Xin said: "Brother Cheng, no matter whether there is any problem with that person just now, you can't follow him anymore!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he also understood what Deng Xin meant. He was also worried about losing the clue just now, so he felt a little anxious.
Cheng Shi looked around, then looked at the cigarette seller who was staring at the two of them, and then Cheng Shi took the lead towards the cigarette seller.
Cheng Shi looked at the price of the cigarettes in the box, took out the corresponding money from his pocket, threw it into the box, and said.
"Give me a box of Lao Dao brand (which entered China in 1891). If you give me a fake one, I won't forgive you!"
The cigarette seller bent down and said with a smile: "Don't dare!
The cigarette seller then took out a box of cigarettes from the small box and handed it to Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi took the cigarettes and waved to reject the money the cigarette seller found.
When the cigarette seller saw Cheng Shi like this, he smiled and said, "Thank you for the reward, sir!"
Cheng Shi glanced at the long alley and could see that it was connected in all directions and could lead to any direction.
Unless you are familiar with the residents inside, it would be difficult to understand the situation inside. He tore open the cigarette and took out two cigarettes.
He handed one to Deng Xin, and both of them took out matches and lit them for themselves. Cheng Shi took a sip and said.
"Xiao Deng, how about opening our store near here?!"
Deng Xin understood what Cheng Shi meant and said, "The location looks good, but I don't know if there are many people living nearby!"
At this time, Cheng Shi felt the cigarette seller, always paying attention to his gaze, and finally looked away!
Cheng Shi determined that this cigarette seller was the other person's eyes left at the entrance of the alley. If he had followed him just now, he would have surprised the other person!
Cheng Shi nodded and said, "Well, let's go around the front and see other places!"
The two chatted together and quickly left the alley. After the two were far away, Deng Xin said doubtfully.
"Brother Cheng, why did you remember to follow that guy just now?!"
Cheng Shi did not answer Deng Xin's words, but asked: "Are you familiar with this place? Is there a way around it from other places?!"
Deng Xin nodded after hearing this, and then said: "It's not bad, this is a concession, not too chaotic!"
After Deng Xin finished speaking, she began to lead Cheng Shi to another avenue and soon turned into another small alley.
After the two walked along the alley for a while, they turned into a deeper alley.
Arriving at this place where almost no one was walking around, Deng Xin stopped and said to Cheng Shi standing aside: "The fork ahead is where the man came in!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said, "Now let's see how good you are in tracking and see if you can find where that guy went!"
Deng Xin nodded and said, "Then I'll give it a try. I haven't tracked people just by shoe prints before. I've always found people based on other comprehensive clues!"
After Deng Xin finished speaking, he walked to the fork and looked at the many footprints in the fork. He soon pointed to one of the shoe prints and said.
"Based on what my brother said a few days ago, regarding the distance and depth of footwork, I'm basing it on my past experience of chasing people!
After calculating the distance of his steps based on his body shape and the fact that he just walked over, I am sure that this shoe print is his!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said: "Okay, believe in yourself, I will follow you!"
Deng Xin stopped talking and began to follow the footprints. There were more and more footprints. After turning a few corners, there were even more footprints.
Deng Xin walked and identified carefully. After turning a few corners, Cheng Shi stopped!
He walked dozens of steps forward, then turned back not long after, stopped and looked at the two closed doors on his right!
Then he said to Cheng Shi beside him: "The shoe prints are gone now. There is a big bluestone on the doorway. I also looked to the other side!"
There is no longer that footprint, and if I had not followed the wrong footprint, he would have entered this house!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said, "Okay, you find a place to hide nearby and keep an eye on this place. I'll go back and ask Xiaohui to find you!"
Deng Xin was stunned for a moment, but asked again the doubt in his heart: "Why did Brother Cheng doubt that guy just now?!"
Cheng Shi did not speak, but took Deng Xin to a hidden location, stared at the door of the house in the distance and said.
"Xiaoyu said that Xiaohui already relies on their relief, so why are there still people looking for her?!"
Deng Xin asked: "That's not surprising. I think Xiaohui is very beautiful. It's not surprising that the other party is looking for her!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said: "This is indeed not unusual, but Xiaohui did not agree to the other party's request, and even said that he would refund the money!
He was still unwilling and wanted to use force, so these two people started to take action. The small garden is Zhang Xiaolin's territory!"
It wasn't that Deng Xin didn't believe Cheng Shi, but he wanted to know why Cheng Shi doubted the other party, so he continued.
"Maybe, he doesn't know that Zhang Xiaolin's territory is there!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "Even if he doesn't know whose territory it is, he can open such a large technical hotel!
How could he have no background? Why did he insist on causing trouble for Xiaohui even at the risk of offending a big shot?
And based on his attitude towards you, he is not an impulsive person. When he heard that you were from the patrol room, he left immediately!
Therefore, based on these doubts, it is proved that there is a high probability that this person is here for Xiaohui!
As soon as we learned that Xiao Hui and Luo Yunhua were related, someone started to cause trouble for Xiao Hui. This had to make me suspicious!
Moreover, there are very few clues in this case. Now when I encounter something suspicious, I would rather kill it by mistake than let it go!"
When Deng Xin heard this, she nodded and said, "I understand, brother Deng, don't worry, I will keep an eye on this place and wait for you to come back!"
Cheng Shi then said: "Okay, be careful not to let him find out. Of course, the most important thing is to pay attention to your own safety!"
When Deng Xin heard about paying attention to safety, she nodded somewhat moved to express her understanding!
Cheng Shi then left the alley along the original path!
