By evening, the sun had set for more than an hour. Old Lu took him to five places, the five places where Chen Tinghan first suspected that Ji Yanghai might be active. It was not just a simple matter of touching a point and repeating the route. Chen Tinghan also instructed him to drive the entire route and walk around the surrounding area.
After several hours of high-intensity activity, the oil in his oil scooter ran out. Lao Lu felt sorry for the gas money, but was too embarrassed to ask Chen Tinghan for money, so he went home and changed to an electric scooter.
After a few hours, the two of them only drank some water. No matter how focused and obsessed Chen Tinghan was, he was now as hungry as Lao Lu.
After some thought, Chen Tinghan found a restaurant to eat. It was not just a random restaurant. He found a private room with a quiet area and a wide view through the introduction of You Shenyu and thanks to her favor.
He moved the cutlery aside, clearing half of the large table, spread out the entire map, half-lay on it, wrote and drew with a marker, and occasionally used his hands to pick up a bite of food.
In contrast, Lao Lu was quite focused and devoted himself to the food in front of him, eating it voraciously. Only when the waiter brought the dishes did he glance at the printed bill and his eyes almost popped out after seeing the prices on it.
Then he ate his meal even faster.
He ate and said, "Master, Master."
"What's wrong?"
"This meal cost eight or nine hundred yuan? You won't ask me to pay for it, will you? Then I can only use it to wash dishes for others."
Chen Tinghan said nonchalantly, "The boss is treating us. He won't charge you anything, and he won't charge me anything either. Eat with confidence."
He didn't delay eating... Old Lu put down his bowl and chopsticks, grinned, and said: "I am a rough man, I only recognize money. If what I said is inappropriate and offensive, please don't mind it, young master. I just want to ask you, what exactly are we doing here?"
Chen Tinghan looked up at him, then lowered his head to look at the map: "What do you think I'm doing?"
"If you were a spy, then all you'd do is gather intelligence, and use it to..." He wiped his neck and said, "But I don't think you're that kind of person. In Wanghai, few people take a sports car driver like me seriously. But you're different. You really treat us like human beings, and you really pay us."
Chen Tinghan wrote and drew on the map, without looking up, and responded: "You can interpret it however you want, but I can only say that I am not in the business of killing or arson."
Old Lu saw that he didn't want to talk, so he went back to eating.
Chen Tinghan was alone, lost in thought. Five locations, while not entirely fruitless, progress was still slow.
Now we can only learn from passers-by and nearby shop assistants who Ji Yanghai met and what he bought in or around two of the locations, but we don’t know what the specific things were.
It's even more impossible to know where he went.
It’s a headache to think about a killer who has completely deviated from the trajectory of his previous life because of his actions.
Chen Tinghan sat down and forced his brain to relax. He was under a lot of pressure, fearing that because of his own reasons, he would prevent a criminal from being killed, but it would cause more serious consequences. That's why he kept running around after learning about Ji Yanghai, but after all, no one is made of iron.
He couldn't let himself be crushed by the pressure.
While closing his eyes to rest, Chen Tinghan realized that he was a little anxious and decided to pull his thoughts back from the dead end and think about more directions.
Maybe he shouldn't think about where Ji Yanghai is, but what he is going to do.
Who was Ji Yanghai's target? Let's assume it was Deng Shi. What was he going to do? Kill Deng Shi.
What preparations does he need to make for this?
Deng Shi is a small fry, but a small fry with some weight. He is surrounded by a circle of people, and he is as timid as a mouse and acts cautiously. Ji Yanghai once tried to attack him but failed. Although the reason for the failure was not because of the goal itself, Ji Yanghai will definitely pursue a more perfect and safer way.
However, due to the interference arranged by Chen Tinghan, he could not carefully plan a fake identity to get close to Deng Shi as he did before. In this case, he was destined to be unable to sneak in with a knife, approach, and kill with one blow, trading his life for his own.
He needed a more decisive approach, in other words, he needed weapons.
arms.
Chen Tinghan suddenly opened his eyes and his heart skipped a beat.
Before, he was thinking about what he needed to buy secretly, but now he found that he was wrong. With the current situation in Wanghai, it would be difficult to obtain a certain lethal contraband in one go through a specific channel even if he had any other connections.
Knives, guns, explosives, poison.
The knife is too simple, the poison is too slow, and there are too many variables, so they can basically be ignored. Ji Yanghai now is not as crazy as he will be in the future, so the impact range of the explosives is too wide and even more uncontrollable, so they can also be ignored for the time being.
That's a gun, a homemade gun.
In order to purchase materials under a reasonable pretext and avoid attracting suspicion and attention, he went to such great lengths and hid from place to place.
Chen Tinghan said to Lao Lu in a deep voice, "Lao Lu, how many people have taken your money? Now, let them come back immediately, all of them come back."
Old Lu paused chewing. He looked at Chen Tinghan, who had suddenly become serious, and quickly swallowed his food. "There are five of us in total, but only three of us do it regularly. We usually do it at night, when there are no customers, so we tend to keep an eye on them more often. What's going on?"
"Tell them to stop watching. Tell them to come find you right now. Anyone who arrives within half an hour will get 200."
"No, Boss, this..."
"Go ahead."
Chen Tinghan's tone left no room for argument. Old Lu was a straightforward man who understood people's expressions. He immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and went to contact his men.
