Chapter 36: The Twelve Arhats (9)
The next morning, we started to act according to the plan. After a simple breakfast, we each brought our pistols, divided the personnel, got into the car, and entered the city again under the guidance of Coleman.
My team, along with Ivan and Pavrov, came to the transfer point to the east. Coleman didn't stop after leading us to their place, and continued to lead the others towards their destination.
We drove around here for a while, and after parking in the parking lot near the station where we got off yesterday, I took Ivan and Pavrov to the place where we had dropped off, and after a brief introduction, Ivan and Pavrov went their separate ways with us. However, instead of waiting at the station for public transportation, the two of them walked along the side of the road in the direction of the city center like two tourists in a hurry.
I took Kurch and Rudick around the interchange. After all, yesterday we were only concerned with monitoring the target and paying too little attention to the actual environment around us. Compared to the restricted area in the city center, this neighborhood is more like a modern city, with significantly more cars and wider roads. The most important thing for us at the moment is that there are a lot of parking places here, not only there are many special parking lots, but also there are parking spaces neatly painted on both sides of the road.
In other words, if we can't accurately grasp the time and approximate route of his outing, and just wait here, then it is still very likely that even if he stops in this area, we still don't know.
We wandered around the area until it was close to noon, and we first found a restaurant and sat down, and after a bit of nonsense with the waiter and English word exchange, we had a decent lunch. After that we went back to the station where we got off yesterday, we had agreed before we left early in the morning, and we would wait here for Semolov and them, and they would not only come here but also send us the phone call that Coleman had gotten.
When we came to the station, Semolov they had already arrived for a while. After seeing us, Semolov did not let Delniko and Salenko, who he had brought with him, but walked towards me with a small bag himself.
I also motioned for Kurch and Rudick to stand still and face Semolov myself. After walking up to Semolov, he handed me the packet, and after I took it, he said, "Here are three telephones and a map." I've already assigned you which phone you should use, and yours has already entered the numbers of me and Lukovich and Ivan's. He looked around and said, "How are you looking here?" ”
I took the bag and didn't open it, but looked at him and said, "It's not good." There are so many places to park your car here. Where are you? “
"The same is true. You'll find out when you get there. Semolov whispered.
I looked at the station, "Maybe we can only narrow it down by going through the station." “
Semolov heard me say this and looked back at the station, "You mean a station like this?" “
"Yes. Leads to the city center, the kind of station where the guy got on his way back from the event last night. That is, it can lead to the station closest to the place where the performances will be held. I said.
Semolov nodded, "That's a good idea. ”
I nodded, "I'll go first, let everyone be careful." "After that, I turned around and returned to Kurchi and Rudick with my bag, and when I got back to our car, I opened the bag and there were three telephones, each of which was wrapped in a piece of paper, and a line of words was written on it."
"What is this? Name? I asked.
Rudick glanced at it, "It's the name." It's all our pseudonym. As he spoke, he pointed to one of them, "This is Alec." ”
Alek is my pseudonym, my name as a Kazakh. I picked up the phone and handed the remaining two phones to Rudick, then opened the map, which already showed several interchange parking areas like the one Coleman had drawn last night. I gave the map to the person in charge
The car of Kurchi.
Kurch took the map and looked at it, "Are we going to this place in the northeast?" ”
After that, we went to two places in the northeast and southeast. These two places are similar to those in the east, there are many places where you can park, and if you want to rely on monitoring parking to quickly lock on to the target or even rob halfway, it is almost impossible.
We wandered around until the sun went down, and at half-past five, we were back in the car. Because the time we had agreed on was to return to our accommodation point at half past five.
And not long after we drove away, Semolov's phone rang at noon. I pulled out the phone and connected it, and Ivan's voice came over the phone.
"Gypsies?"
"It's me."
"Where are you?"
"I'm getting ready to go back. How? Did you find? “
Ivan was silent for a moment, feeling as if he was walking, and after a moment of silence he spoke, "Our goal is out again today." I'm eating at a restaurant in the city center. ”
"He took those four guys to eat together? In a restaurant? "I asked a little strangely, isn't it too interesting after all?
"I don't know. However, the four men did follow him into the dining room. ”
I looked out of the car, "Shall we go over?" ”
"That's what I meant. Lukovic is almost there, and Semolov is on his way. Ivan said.
"You're not going to want to do it now, are you?" I asked.
Ivan didn't answer directly this time, but was silent for a moment before saying, "This is exactly what I want to discuss with you, and for now, this is a good opportunity." “
"Good. We'll be there shortly. Where is the location? I asked.
"Just go to the transfer point on the east side. I asked Pavrov to wait for you at the station. Ivan hung up the phone.
So we immediately changed direction and headed to the transfer point to the east, where we arrived about twenty minutes later, and after stopping the train, the three of us quickly arrived at the station. Pavrov, who was waiting in the station, walked straight to us when he saw us, and after coming to us, he didn't say a word and motioned for us to follow him.
After walking about two or three hundred meters in the direction of the city center, Pavrov slowed down, and then he looked across the street. I followed his gaze, and there was a two-story antique building about two o'clock in front of us, and the reason why he said he was antique was because this building had obvious modern elements in many places while retaining some ancient architectural styles, such as the most obvious is that there is a row of glass windows on the side facing the street, and we can see the warm yellow light inside, and the neatly arranged dining table.
"Is this it? What about Ivan? I asked in a low voice.
Pavrov stopped and nodded, "Mr. Ivan has already entered." “
