Chapter 81 New Target

When Cheng Shi went to Shanghai County, Deng Xin returned to the police station, found Feng Tao, and asked him for some smarter patrol officers!

Deng Xin asked them all to change into casual clothes, and a group of five people went directly to the newspaper office they had been to, and began to wait for the target to appear!

Deng Xin followed Cheng Shi's instructions and specifically explained to several patrol officers that as long as there was anyone in the newspaper office who inquired about the coded information!

They were all watched by him and then reported to him. If the patrolmen discovered anything unexpectedly, Deng Xin would give them extra rewards!

The few patrol officers who were not too interested at first became energetic when they heard about the extra pay, and began to pay close attention to the news in the newspaper office.

Cheng Shi hurried back to the door of the newspaper office. Deng Xin had been waiting here for a long time. He chatted with Deng Xin for a while and learned that the newspaper with their information had already been distributed!

However, there has been no movement so far, and Cheng Shi immediately returned to the patrol room just to be on the safe side.

He also specifically asked Feng Tao for some, and asked his peripheral informants and rickshaw drivers to squat together at the door of the newspaper office.

Cheng Shi now has a lot of clues, now he just needs to wait for the other party to bite the bait!

In this era without surveillance, if he wanted to investigate a case, he could only rely on the crowd tactics to investigate and keep an eye on them one by one!

In the next few days, Cheng Shi began to search for all the information about the Xiaodao Society and the Tiandi Society in the archives of the patrol room!

And Deng Xin also went out early and came back late, leading people to watch the newspaper office to see who would go to the newspaper office to find news about the book!

Seeing that today's time was about to pass again, Deng waited impatiently in the newsstand, watching the time on his pocket watch slipping away bit by bit!

He was really impatient. He had been here for three days and found nothing!

Even the patrol officers couldn't stand it any longer. Although they were paid to stare like this, they had to stare at one place for a long time!

Naturally, they got bored quickly. After all, they were not agents and had not received any professional training!

At this time, Deng Xin was wondering if he had exposed his secret. The other party knew it was a trap, so that's why he never showed up!

Just when Deng was worrying about gains and losses, a man in his forties came outside the door of the newspaper office!

This man was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole. He was wearing black casual clothes. He looked at the door of the newspaper office and walked in!

The man walked into the newspaper office. Not long after, he walked out again, called a rickshaw, and was ready to leave!

At this time, a plainclothes patrolman in the newspaper office walked out of the newspaper office, looked at the sky, and then casually made a gesture of brushing off the dust on his body.

Deng Xin's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she whispered to a patrolman beside her: "Finally there is movement, let someone follow us!"

The patrolman smiled and said: "The rickshaw driver of that man is one of ours, so there is no need to send more people, right?!"

Deng Xin's eyes lit up, but he thought for a moment, and to be on the safe side, he still gave instructions.

"The other party may not necessarily get off the car when he gets home. If the coachman still follows him at that time, he will be directly exposed!

So, you can also take a rickshaw and follow him from a distance. If he gets off the car early, the three of you will change and follow him!"

The patrolman was stunned for a moment when he heard Deng Xin's words, but he still listened to Deng Xin's instructions!

He found his own rickshaw, got on it, and whispered: "Agent Deng ordered us to follow the target in front of us at a distance!"

When the driver heard this, he nodded, got up and pulled the cart, and followed him from a distance!

It took Deng Xinze a long while before she got up and walked into the newspaper office!

Deng Xin walked up to the plainclothes patrolman at the newspaper office and asked in a low voice: "What did he do when he came in just now?!"

The patrolman also whispered back: "He asked the newspaper staff to register the secret book owner's information!

The staff explained that customer information cannot be disclosed casually, and the man did not continue to ask, and then left an address!

He also said that at 12 noon tomorrow, anyone who wants to leave a message will go to him, and then he will leave the newspaper office!"

Deng Xin continued to whisper: "Well, keep staring here!"

Deng Xinze walked out of the newspaper office again, walked to the newsstand at the door and sat down again, continuing to wait at the door of the newspaper office.

After a long time, a rickshaw driver came back, came to Deng Xin, and reported in a low voice.

"Agent Deng, the target entered No. 56 Petain Road and never came out again!"

After hearing this, Deng Xin nodded and said, "Is there someone watching over there?!"

The coachman nodded and said, "Well, the two of them stayed there and watched, so they asked me to come back and report the news!"

Deng Xin nodded with satisfaction and continued: "You continue to stare at the newspaper office here. If you have any other goals, continue to send people to follow them like this!"

The rickshaw driver nodded to express his understanding, and Deng Xin took the opportunity to rush back to the central arresting room. When she found out that Cheng Shi was still in the archives room!

Deng Xin went directly to the archives room. Deng Xin came to him and said, "Brother Cheng, a suspicious person has appeared. I went to the newspaper office to inquire about the news!"

When Cheng Shi heard this, he put down the files in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and asked.

"Did the other party make any strange moves? Did you have someone follow him?!"

Deng Xin replied: "He doesn't have any strange movements and his behavior is normal. Two people are staring at him now!

He lives at No. 56 Petain Road, and he also left a message, saying that he would meet the person who left the message at the teahouse at No. 50 Petain Road at 12 noon tomorrow!"

Deng Xin continued: "Brother Cheng, this is good news. Should we arrest him after meeting tomorrow?!"

Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Don't be impulsive. Maybe the other person is really a person who loves deciphering, and is not the person we are waiting for!"

Deng Xin said doubtfully: "Why do you say that?!"

Cheng Shi said: "You said that the other party behaved normally, maybe he is a person who likes to decipher, maybe!

However, we do not rule out the possibility that the other party is deliberately raising suspicions and trying to detect our background. We need to continue to observe before we can draw a conclusion!"

After hearing this, Deng Xin sat down opposite Cheng Shi a little unhappy, slumped down on the chair, and asked.

"Brother Cheng, you have been here for three days. Have you found any useful information?!"

Cheng Shi nodded and replied: "I have some clues, but here are some files from decades ago, which may be different from the real situation!"

Deng Xin then sighed and continued: "Brother Cheng, I found that without you by my side, I feel like I have no bottom, and I don't know what to do!

Moreover, I am not as motivated as I used to be in doing things, and I have become a little forward-looking and hesitant, for fear of doing something wrong!

As a result, all the previous efforts in this case have been wasted, so you should come out and take charge personally. I find that I am almost a little neurotic now!"

Cheng Shi laughed when he heard this: "This is a good sign. Just don't be impulsive. After all, now is not the time for you to catch the thief!"

Even if you get the clue wrong, it won't have much impact. As for you being hesitant now, that's normal!

It proves that you have started to think, but you just don’t have the confidence yet. In the future, you will do things based on the answers you have thought about in some small things!

If you make a mistake, remember not to make it next time, and if you make a mistake, it will increase your self-confidence, and slowly, you will no longer be like this!"

Deng Xin curled her lips, scratched her head and said, "Oh, thinking about problems is very tiring, so I'd better leave it to you, Brother Cheng!"

Cheng Shi picked up the files, organized them neatly, put them back on the shelf, and said with a smile.

"People can be lazy occasionally, but they can't be lazy all the time. However, you have worked hard these days keeping an eye on people. I'll treat you to a big meal!"

After hearing this, Deng Xin jumped up from her chair excitedly and said, "That's great!"
