After starting to take action, Lin Mo and the four walked together, walked out of the alley where they had just gathered, and walked to the main road.
The place where Lin Mo and others are now is still far away from the position of Wang Shoufei and others.
Everyone walked for a while before arriving at the alley not far from the newspaper owner's house.
When he came here, Lin Mo took out a pack of old knives, gave one to Yang Haicheng, Zhao Jinjiu and Huang Chonghou, then took out a lighter, lit it and started smoking.
Lin Mo looked around while smoking, and found that there were indeed many hotels and inns here as Ding Zhengquan said.
When Lin Mo saw this, he started to observe one by one.
After looking through it, Lin Mo chose two houses. One was a restaurant across the alley. From the position of the window inside, he could observe the situation at the entrance of the alley. As soon as Wang Shoufei and others came out, they could observe
.
The other one is a little past the entrance of the alley, a three-story hotel. If you are lucky, you should be able to observe the small courtyard of the newspaper owner's house on the third floor.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo pondered for a while and said to Zhao Jinjiu: "Old Zhao, go to that three-story hotel and ask if there are any rooms on the third floor. If so, book four rooms and then call us." After hearing this, Zhao Jinjiu nodded, then took the old knife out of his mouth, threw it on the ground, stepped on it, and walked towards the hotel.
Lin Mo saw the cigarette butt thrown down by Zhao Jinjiu, walked over, picked it up, and put it in his pocket.
Yang Haicheng, who was beside Lin Mo, saw Lin Mo's actions and asked in confusion: "Brother Lin, what are you doing?"
Hearing Yang Haicheng's inquiry, Lin Mo said: "When taking action, you must develop the habit of not throwing your things out casually to prevent others from discovering abnormalities based on these things."
When Yang Haicheng heard what Lin Mo said, he nodded, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out, picked it up and put it in his pocket.
When Huang Chonghou saw this, he also followed Yang Haicheng's example.
After the two of them finished doing it, they both looked at Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo rubbed his thumb and index finger against the cigarette butt twice, shook his hand again, and the burning tobacco fell to the ground, and then he took care of himself.
Put the cigarette butt in your pocket.
When Yang Haicheng saw this, his face was stunned, and then he turned away thankfully.
Lin Mo saw this and ignored Yang Haicheng, because Zhao Jinjiu had already come out of the hotel door and came running.
Zhao Jinjiu ran to Lin Mo and said, "Master Lin, there is no one on the third floor of the hotel yet, and there are only four rooms on the third floor. Now I have booked them all."
Lin Mo listened, nodded, and said, "That's okay, let's go up there now."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he led the three of them towards the hotel.
Behind him, Huang Chonghou pulled Zhao Jinjiu aside and told Zhao Jinjiu in a low voice what had just happened.
When Zhao Jinjiu heard that Huang Chonghou said that Lin Mo picked up the cigarette butts he dropped after he left, his face suddenly turned red and he gave Lin Mo an embarrassed look.
But Lin Mo was walking in front and didn't see it.
Everyone entered the lobby of the hotel. Zhao Jinjiu greeted the hotel owner, and everyone went up the stairs to the third floor.
Arriving on the third floor, Zhao Jinjiu saw Lin Mo stop and quickly stepped forward and said to Lin Mo: "Master Lin, I just..."
Lin Mo saw this, interrupted Zhao Jinjiu's words, and said: "Don't say anything. Those who don't know are not to blame. I forgot to remind you in advance."
Hearing Lin Mo say this, the expression on Zhao Jinjiu's face became even more guilty.
Seeing this, Lin Mo patted Zhao Jinjiu on the shoulder and said, "This is not a big problem. You don't need to feel any psychological pressure. Now we are acting together to catch Japanese spies."
"When catching Japanese spies, we need to pay attention to details that we usually don't notice. You don't have to feel guilty now, just pay attention later."
After hearing this, Zhao Jinjiu nodded and said, "Master Lin, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
"One more thing, when taking action, don't call me Master Lin, just call me Young Master."
After hearing this, Zhao Jinjiu nodded and said, "Yes, young master."
Seeing this, Lin Mo nodded at Zhao Jinjiu, then turned to look at the other two people, and said: "There are four rooms here, two of them have windows facing the street, and the newspaper owner's house cannot be seen from here.
”
"Now, let's go to the other two to see if we can see the situation in the newspaper owner's home."
Everyone listened and nodded.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Jinjiu quickly took the keys and opened the doors of the two rooms.
After seeing the door open, Lin Mo walked into the room near the stairs.
After Lin Mo walked in, he first looked at the layout of the room and found that there was nothing special, just ordinary furnishings.
In the room, the largest space is the bed. There are two bedside tables on both sides of the bed. There is a table in front of the window. There is a lamp above the electrical appliances and a table lamp on the bedside table.
As for toilets, there are none.
After looking at the room's furnishings, Lin Mo came to the window, stood sideways behind the curtain on the right, gently opened the curtain on the right a little, and looked out.
After observing for a while, Lin Mo stretched out his hand and the curtains naturally blocked it back.
Withdrawing his hand, Lin Mo turned around and said to the three of them: "You can indeed observe the situation at the newspaper owner's home here."
When Yang Haicheng heard what Lin Mo said, he asked: "Then we will observe in this room?"
"Let's look at another room to see which side has the best view, and then we'll make a choice."
When Yang Haicheng heard what Lin Mo said, he nodded in agreement.
Lin Mo led several people out of the room. Lin Mo suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Zhao Jinjiu: "Old Zhao, do you know the name of the newspaper owner?"
After hearing this, Zhao Jinjiu shook his head and said to Lin Mo: "I'm not sure. I only know that the newspaper is called Chengxi Daily, and the boss's surname seems to be Lu. As for the rest, we don't know much about it."
Lin Mo listened and nodded without saying anything else.
Seeing this, Zhao Jinjiu asked Lin Mo with some embarrassment: "Master, do you want me to find someone to check for us now?"
"No need, our first task now is to observe Wang Shoufei and others to see if they have any suspicions. There is no need to investigate others yet."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he started to walk to another room. When he arrived in the room, he found that the decoration inside was the same as the previous one, so he didn't care anymore, but went straight to the window and observed it.
After the observation, Lin Mo said to the three of them: "This window can also observe the situation of the Lu family, but there are fewer places to see."
"But one advantage here is that you can observe the situation at the door of Lu's house and the street outside."
At this point, Lin Mo paused and thought for a moment, then continued: "Let's use both rooms. Lao Zhao and Lao Huang, you two will observe from this room."
"When observing, usually pay attention to the situation in the courtyard. If Wang Shoufei and others want to come out, pay attention to their actions outside the door and on the street. When they reach a place where they cannot be seen, go downstairs to meet up and follow them together.
”
After hearing this, Zhao Jinjiu and Huang Chonghou nodded and agreed.
Lin Mo saw this, turned to look at Yang Haicheng, and continued: "Haicheng, just stay with me in the next room to observe the situation in the Lu Family Courtyard."
After Lin Mo finished talking about the action plan, he told the three of them what they should pay attention to during observation, and after leaving a telescope and lens wrapping gauze for Zhao Jinjiu and Huang Chonghou, he and Yang Haicheng returned to the room where they were just now. After returning to the room, Lin Mo wrapped the lens of the telescope with gauze and began to observe the situation of the Lu family.
After Lin Mo observed for a while, Yang Haicheng asked for the telescope, and followed Lin Mo's behavior just now, and started observing properly.
However, Yang Haicheng did not insist on observing for long, because there was nothing going on in the Lu family, so he returned the telescope to Lin Mo.
After Lin Mo took the telescope from Yang Haicheng, he began to observe it calmly. Although there was no movement in the Lu family at this time, Lin Mo was not worried.
Because Lin Mo understands that observation and surveillance are like this. When a situation can be discovered, it will only be for a short moment. If you can't calm down and observe, sometimes you won't even be able to catch that moment.
After Lin Mo told Yang Haicheng these things while observing, Yang Haicheng was finally able to persist for a long time.
In this way, time passed slowly, and the two of them took turns observing the situation in the Lu family courtyard.
As time passed, it was time for lunch, but Lin Mo and others did not go to eat, because just now, Lin Mo finally observed some movement in the Lu family, and someone in the Lu family had already started to light a fire to cook.<
/p>
Looking at the smoke coming out of the Lu family's chimney, Lin Mo already knew that there would be some movement in the Lu family, but at this moment, Lin Mo's heart was surprisingly calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
In Lin Mo's eyes, the smoke from the Lu family's chimney fell down and floated into the Lu family under the caress of the wind. When the wind weakened, it rose into the sky again. The smoke filled the air.
, the Lu family seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, making it a little hazy.
In the Lu family, in the studio, Lu Xiaoying smelled the smoke in the air, frowned slightly, her attention was called back from painting, and she put down the brush in her hand.
Wang Shoufei, who was standing next to Lu Xiaoying, saw that Lu Xiaoying stopped drawing, so he stopped describing and walked aside.
A person sitting not far from Lu Xiaoying also stood up when he saw that Lu Xiaoying had stopped painting. He was the assistant who had accompanied Lu Xiaoying during the interview. It was Lu's father who sent him because he was worried about Lu Xiaoying after learning that Lu Xiaoying had brought Wang Shoufei and the others home to paint.
