After the two of them finished eating, they gave the old man a cigarette, and Fan Keqin lit one again. Then he and the old man smoked and chatted.

For example, how is the old man's business? Do you come here every day? Do you always come to this street? Or do you go to nearby streets?

These questions don't sound problematic at all, just like casual chatting. But in fact, these are Fan Keqin's clichés.

For example, ask the other party whether he always comes to this street. After the old man answers, he can continue to ask this question, right? The business on the street next to it cannot keep up with this one, right? Then after the other party answers again, Fan Keqin will

You can ask again, well, is it because there are less people on the street next to it?

In this way, bit by bit, you can grasp some information about the flow of people on the street next to you. Of course, this is just an example. Any questions you ask must be appropriately adjusted according to the situation of the other party, so as not to appear deliberate.

So after he almost finished smoking a cigarette, Fan Keqin learned from the old man: when the peak flow of people in the nearby streets was, and even learned how strict the police were in searching the streets.

That's because Fan Keqin seemed to be concerned and asked, "Let's set up the stall, right?" The police should leave it alone. The old man smiled and answered, and Fan Keqin could make a rough judgment from his answer.

This is an agent's excellent conversation skills, which make it impossible for anyone to see any problems. It seems that when he is chatting casually with you, he has actually used his superb methods to induce some information he wants to know.

After knowing a rough answer, Fan Keqin compared it in his mind with the intelligence provided by the local branch, and found that some information such as patrol density marked on the intelligence was basically consistent with what the old man said. This shows that,

The information provided by the local branch is still very accurate.

After paying the bill with Huazhang, Fan Keqin took her wandering around the nearby streets again. And in order to blend in with the environment, each of them also held a paper bag of fried stinky tofu in their hands. From time to time

Take a bite. It looks quite natural.

Finally, when they wandered to the two streets to the south with the municipal compound as a reference, Fan Keqin finally found a good place.

It was a four-story building. When I walked in, I saw that this building was not a residential building. At this time in Peiping, old-fashioned bungalows can actually be found in Hutong courtyards.

Of course, this does not mean that there are fewer buildings. But generally speaking, there are still more bungalows than buildings.

This is not like the later generations, where high-rise buildings abound. And even in the later generations, the hutong culture in Beijing is also a major local feature. Therefore, there are many people living in bungalows. And in the later generations, apart from the surrounding areas, as long as they are in the city

Those who live in bungalows are extremely expensive.

Except for the rich, I really can't afford it. The closer you are to the inside, the more expensive it is, and even hundreds of thousands per square meter is not uncommon. In the future, if you can live within a few rings of the city center, you can take advantage of...

It doesn't take several houses, just a bungalow, or even the kind with a yard. That's definitely a respectable person from Beier.

However, nowadays, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang are in a bit of a dilemma. Because there are many bungalows, the line of sight will naturally be blocked. It is very laborious to detect anything.

Fortunately, after wandering around for a few times, we finally saw this building on the south side of the municipal compound. Otherwise, Fan Keqin and the others would still have to wander around.

When I arrived, I saw that this four-story building was an office building. It looked very much like the office buildings of later generations. Of course, it was definitely not as high-end as later generations. But the plaque hanging at the door of this four-story building can prove this.

.

There are signs of this company, that factory office, and even the municipal office here, so there are many.

Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang looked at each other. Fan Keqin whispered: "Don't go in. It's not convenient for two people. Just wait for me outside."

"There is a teahouse there." Hua Zhang glanced diagonally across and said, "I'll wait for you there."

"Okay." Fan Keqin agreed, handed the paper bag containing stinky tofu to Hua Zhang, then separated from her and walked directly in from the door.

It is said that there is also a concierge in the door of this building. It may be that Fan Keqin walked freely after entering. It may also be that there are several company offices in this building, and there are many faces every day. In addition, Fan Keqin is looking for

The opportunity was good. Two people were walking in. Several people were about to come out. So the concierge looked out the window and said nothing.

After Fan Keqin entered, he went straight up the stairs next to him and followed the two people who came in before. On the second floor, the two guys in front entered through the door on the side and entered a room with a hanging wall of Tiantian Candy Company and a shoe and hat store.

Enter the factory office door.

Fan Keqin listened carefully, and found that in the entire stairwell, except for his own footsteps, there was no sound of anyone else's walking. So he strode up quickly.

Within a few seconds, he had reached the fourth floor. There was a rooftop above. However, Fan Keqin did not go up. Instead, he looked at the signs hanging in the corridor. There were several, namely: Bright Glasses Company, Zhuangyuan Clothing Company, and

There is Ma Dao Cheng Cheng Taxi Company.

Yes, there were taxis in this era. So there is nothing strange about it. However, there was definitely no scene like the taxis running everywhere in later generations.

Fan Keqin came to the door and listened for a while. There was no big movement, so he ignored the door and turned around to the north side of the stairwell. There was a window here, and Fan Keqin stood on the side and looked out. Sure enough,

, you can see the municipal compound two streets away.

Naturally, the municipal compound faces south as a whole. The building where Fan Keqin is currently located is on the south side of the municipal compound. Fan Keqin can naturally see the municipal compound through the window on the north side.

.

He took a brief look at it first, and then mentally recalled the memories and several schematic diagrams provided by the local separation.

Well! Indeed, local separation is very complicated, and the picture is very accurate. Because if you compare what you see now with what is on the picture, you can see that there is basically no deviation.

It's not that far away two streets away. Coupled with the height of the floor, Fan Keqin still has a good view. He started to look carefully from the entrance of the municipal compound, including the guard box at the door, the sentry, and the mail room.
Chapter completed!
