Magnolia Street.

Sun Xiangbin felt like a fool.

He had no idea where to start his investigation.

Where is the person you are looking for?

Has it already been evacuated?

It's all blank.

They all have to look like a fool, searching aimlessly.

Stupid way?

The stupid method worked the first time, but what about the second time?

Or even, did Seko Kusamori get off the bus at Magnolia Street on purpose and then hail a car again?

Sun Xiangbin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But there's one thing he hasn't lost:

Fighting spirit!

He was also an agent of the Fuxing Society who solved countless crimes.

He has been idle for so many years, and now he is back on the scene. He knows very well that he can lose everything, but he cannot lose only his fighting spirit.

Here, there are fruit sellers, hairdressers and knife sharpeners.

There are all kinds of small businesses and everything.

Sun Xiangbin bought a pack of cigarettes and went to a small stall to order a copy.

While eating, I observed everyone around me.

After finishing his portion, he got up, went to a small tea shop, and asked for a pot of tea.

This kind of small tea shop is a shed with two tables placed in the open air.

After drinking tea there, Sun Xiangbin's eyes suddenly fell on a person:

Knife sharpener!

No, this man has been sitting there since the first time I saw him when I entered Magnolia Street.

And, there is no buying and selling!

He sharpened the same kitchen knife over and over again!

A knife-sharpener cannot stay in one place for a long time without buying or selling.

Walking around the streets, shouting loudly, and soliciting business is what they should do!

Moreover, this person has been quietly observing the surroundings.

There must be something wrong with this person!

He got up, paid the bill, went to the small grocery store nearby and bought a kitchen knife.

Then, he walked up to the knife sharpener:

"Master, speak up."

The knife sharpener took it without saying a word.

Grinding very hard!

That's not how the knife is opened!

He is grinding flat!

Flat grinding on the left, grinding on the right!

Especially don’t grind it horizontally!

He was just grinding!

Knife sharpening is a seemingly simple task, but if you haven’t learned it, you will definitely not be able to master vertical sharpening!

Sun Xiangbin remained calm. After he sharpened the knife, he took it and tried it. He looked very satisfied and paid.

I walked away slowly, avoiding the sight of the knife sharpener, and suddenly turned back and came to the only place with a phone here, the grocery store.

He dialed the phone: "I'm looking for Boss Cai. Boss Cai, I, Manager Sun, the goods you requested have arrived. Ah, okay, I'm on Magnolia Street. I'll wait for you to go see the goods together."

He hung up the phone, walked to the other side where he could not easily be found, and stared at the knife sharpener and the room next to him.

However, what Sun Xiangbin didn't know was that there was also a pair of eyes staring at him:

The shopkeeper of that grocery store!

The shopkeeper calmly took out a white towel and placed it on the counter.

Then, he brought out a long bench and placed it outside the shop door.

This is a way to attract business, specifically for people to sit at.

Everything looks normal.

Nothing could be more normal!

However, the "sharpener" saw it.

He remained silent, still lowering his head and sharpening the knife vigorously!

…

"Gather together, all carry weapons. Sun Xiangbin has been found there."

Meng Shaoyuan put down the phone, shouted outside, "Who is the surveillance post on Yulan Street?"

"Hao Minde!"

"Let him carry weapons and help!"

"He doesn't recognize Sun Xiangbin!"

"Fart, if he doesn't recognize who should be helped, he's still acting as a surveillance post!"

…

A rickshaw arrived at Magnolia Street.

The cart was pulled by Torataro Masuyama.

The person in the car was Seko Kusamori.

This is their daily job for the time being.

Seko Kusamori must be familiar with every road in Chongqing.

"problem occurs!"

Masuyama Torataro immediately saw the bench outside the grocery store and the white towel on the counter.

"Walk!"

Seko Kusamori only said one word.

The rickshaw didn't stop at all and just drove away from here.

…

The knife grinder breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rickshaw passing by on the other side of the road.

He began to close the stall.

…

No, the knife sharpener needs to leave!

He is not a sharpener, he is responsible for monitoring this place and protecting the people in the house around him.

But why did he leave suddenly?

What went wrong?

Sun Xiangbin didn't have time to think about it.

He stood up quickly: "Hey, Master."

He quickly followed.

The knife sharpener stopped: "What's the matter?"

"You didn't sharpen the knife correctly." Sun Xiangbin raised the kitchen knife in his hand and said, "Grind it again!"

The knife sharpener took out the money that Sun Xiangbin had just given to him from his pocket: "Refund your money. My wife is sick and I am in a hurry to go home."

"That won't work, I'm in a hurry to use the knife!"

Sun Xiangbin blocked his way.
