Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 560 Find the target!

Just as Li Weidong was thinking about the meaning of the number 12, not far behind him, the man who had followed him all the way before was staring at the two of them calmly.

Perhaps when they were on the bus, Chen Guangkun's behavior and Li Weidong's age made him subconsciously despise the two of them.

Obviously, from his heart, he didn't think there was anything wrong with these two people.

After all, they are just two inconspicuous people in this team.

The reason why he monitored the two of them was just following orders.

As for the two of them coming here to play, he had no doubts.

St. Basil's Cathedral is their pride and a place of faith. It has extraordinary meaning and symbol in the hearts of many people.

Probably, it is right for these two ignorant foreigners to yearn for such a famous holy place in our country.

There was even a little pride in his heart.

Because of the contempt he felt from the bottom of his heart, he didn't try too hard to hide it all the way, because based on his experience, he had concluded that the two of them were just the same.

As he followed the two of them, even though they looked left and right, they didn't notice Tails following behind them, and their eyes never fell on him.

In this case, there is no need for him to disguise himself in unnecessary ways to cover his tracks.

Just follow closely behind the two of them.

"Weidong, there are a lot of people selling things over there. Let's go and have a look and buy some souvenirs to take back. It's not a worthwhile trip abroad."

Chen Guangkun had no regrets about not being able to enter the bell tower. Anyway, he was not interested in the reliefs or portraits inside. However, the small shop selling things not far away attracted his attention.

"Okay, Brother Chen can choose one or two things later. Otherwise, I'll feel sorry for you if I bother Brother Chen to bring me over."

Li Weidong said cheerfully.

"This...isn't it?"

Chen Guangkun's face suddenly showed joy, but he pretended to be reserved and refused.

Along the way, he had long known that Li Weidong was more generous and had an unusual background.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's settled. If Brother Chen hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't even understand what's being said here."

Li Weidong said simply.

Then he pulled Chen Guangkun to a shop without any explanation.

As for the tail behind him, he also raised his heels.

Li Weidong didn't need to look back at all to sense every move behind him, but he hadn't figured out the number 12 left by Lin Zhenwu yet, so he didn't care about the tail behind him.

Giving Chen Guangkun a gift was also to take advantage of the other party's delay and cover for him.

"Then you're welcome. If you want to go somewhere later, just tell me."

Chen Guangkun 'reluctantly' accepted Li Weidong's kindness, but even the title changed.

At this moment, he only thought that the little brother Li Weidong was interesting enough to make friends with him.

Although he is a university teacher and his wife also has a job, he cannot spend his monthly salary however he wants. Since Li Weidong is willing to give him gifts, he can also save his money.

In this way, Chen Guangkun looked at the dazzling array of souvenirs and began to carefully select them.

It can't be too cheap, and it can't make Li Weidong feel painful, so it must be carefully considered.

After entering the store, Li Weidong also started to choose, but he was still thinking about the number.

We have just eliminated the clock tower and direction that represent time, so what else can the rest represent?
Shop No. 12?
12 floor tiles?
or something else?

But one thing Li Weidong can confirm is that there is no trap set here. From beginning to end, there are only people following him behind him, and no one is ambushing here.

This means that Lin Zhenwu's initial worries did not come true, and Vladimir, who was responsible for helping to pass the clues back, could be trusted.

This also made Li Weidong feel much more calm.

At least the difficulty of getting things is much lower than before.

If you can really find something, it will be much easier to get rid of the tail behind you.

The problem was that he couldn't figure out the meaning of the number 12 left by Lin Zhenwu for a while.

Based on Li Weidong's understanding of Lin Zhenwu, since the other party used clues such as St. Basil's Cathedral and the Bell Tower to point directly at him and asked him to come and pick up the things, he would definitely leave enough clues for him to find.

Therefore, the number 12 cannot be unsolvable.

Unless this number was added by Vladimir himself.

But since the other party has not betrayed, this possibility is unlikely.

So, what does 12 refer to?

Or is it that his initial guess was wrong and he went astray?

Unfortunately, Vladimir's identity is relatively sensitive, and Li Weidong is not suitable to meet the other party while being monitored.

Even if Chen Guangkun is used as a cover-up, unless he has no choice, once he sees the other person, there will definitely be traces left.

If Vladimir is targeted by those people, they may be severely interrogated, and then he will be exposed, which will not be conducive to subsequent actions.

It was precisely because of this that Li Weidong did not approach the other party rashly.

It's better to rely on yourself first and try to see if you can find what Lin Zhenwu left behind.

After careful selection, Chen Guangkun finally selected two exquisite-looking souvenirs, one of which was a commemorative coin and a very exquisite glass with a cathedral pattern printed on it.

After choosing these two, Chen Guangkun looked at Li Weidong with some embarrassment.

"Weidong, what do you like? Can I help you choose?"

"Well, these commemorative coins are quite nice. Let me pick a few."

Li Weidong finally picked a few commemorative coins with a certain generation of tsar printed on them, and then after a haggling session with Chen Guangkun, he finally paid the bill.

Li Weidong had previously exchanged some money here through the two old professors.

The total cost of several items was almost 30 yuan.

And this 60 yuan naturally refers to domestic money.

Among them, Chen Guangkun's two items cost 20 yuan.

It can be seen that he was carefully selected.

This amount of money is definitely not small.

Even if Li Weidong invited Chen Guangkun to eat in the dining car on the train, it only cost a few dollars.

So Chen Guangkun seemed a little embarrassed, but seeing Li Weidong's open look, he kept thanking him and his attitude became a little more affectionate.

At this time, Chen Guangkun wished he could take Li Weidong to visit more places.

Otherwise, it would be too hot for him to hold.

However, although Li Weidong bought something, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he continued to drag Chen Guangkun around the cathedral.

"Brother Chen, I really like this cathedral. Can you pay someone here to help introduce it to you?"

Li Weidong finally set his sights on the cathedral.

But it's not an option for the two of them to wander around like this. If they keep wandering around, turning around and around, I'm afraid the tail behind them will also become suspicious.

So Li Weidong thought of spending money to ask local people for introductions. Maybe the clues are hidden in the visible information. "Pay someone to introduce you?"

Chen Guangkun paused, obviously not expecting this to happen.

But the problem is, doesn’t Li Weidong not understand what is being said here?

Let him be the translator?
He didn't have much resistance to this. After all, he had just accepted such an expensive gift from Li Weidong, so he just wanted to help.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll ask."

After Chen Guangkun finished speaking, he turned around and then suddenly walked behind him.

"Sir, we are here for fun. We like this cathedral very much. Can you please help explain the history of this cathedral? We can give you money."

Chen Guangkun said seriously to the middle-aged man in front of him.

The other party was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't carry anything in his hands, so in Chen Guangkun's opinion, he must be living in a tight situation.

"Explain the history of St. Basil's Cathedral?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, obviously not expecting Chen Guangkun to make such a request.

As for giving money...

"Okay, forget about the money, I just don't have anything to do."

The middle-aged man agreed immediately, and then Chen Guangkun led him to Li Weidong.

"Weidong, I just told him, just give him one dollar, but I will put the money down first and secretly give it to him later. You can just give it to me when you get back."

Chen Guangkun led the other party back and asked Li Weidong for credit.

But in fact, the money will definitely end up in his pocket.

He took advantage of Li Weidong's incomprehension and enriched himself.

However, after hearing what he said, the middle-aged man's expression seemed a little strange and he looked at him deeply.

And Li Weidong naturally has no reason to disagree.

He didn't know whether Chen Guangkun's luck was too good or too bad. The middle-aged man he was looking for was the one who followed them all the way. The key was that the other party could understand the conversation between the two.

"Thank you Brother Chen."

Li Weidong thanked him with gratitude.

Afterwards, the other party began to introduce the history of St. Basil's Cathedral, but basically the other party said a few words, and then Chen Guangkun translated it to Li Weidong.

From the time when the cathedral was built to the significance it represents, the other party introduced it in detail.

In terms of translation, Chen Guangkun did not compromise.

Basically, what the other party says is what he translates.

Time passed little by little during the introduction of the other party.

It was morning when the two came out. After walking around for a long time, the clock on the cathedral slowly pointed to twelve o'clock.

At this moment, a bell rang overhead, seeming to remind the people in the square that it was already twelve o'clock at noon.

Hearing the sound, Li Weidong couldn't help but look up.

At exactly this time, the sun shone on the spire of the bell tower, forming a shadow that pointed directly at a small garden.

Li Weidong's eyes narrowed immediately.

Will Lin Zhenwu take Dong XZ there?

Li Weidong couldn't help but think about this problem from the other party's perspective. There were people coming and going around the cathedral, and the ground was paved with stone slabs. The bell tower was blocked and outsiders could not enter at all.

If Lin Zhenwu wanted to hide something, it would be almost impossible to hide it in the bell tower or other church buildings, so he would definitely have to find a place outside.

The small garden in the distance looks relatively quiet. Although there are chairs nearby for pedestrians to sit and rest, there are not many people gathered there.

Moreover, the ground in the garden is relatively soft, making it easier to dig holes and cover traces. In comparison, it is a place to hide things.

If Lin Zhenwu had been here, and it was during the day, and he was even sitting on that chair to rest, he would be in the direction pointed by the shadow of the bell tower, plus the clear ringing of the bell at noon.

Will the other party use this as a clue to put things into the small garden behind him?

The more he thought about it, the more Li Weidong felt it was possible.

Especially for a foreigner, it is not very conspicuous when visiting St. Basil's Cathedral.

More importantly, since Lin Zhenwu wants to hide something, he must find a place where he can have a legitimate reason to come. If it is hidden in a heavily guarded place, even if he can hide it, it will be troublesome to take it out.

With Lin Zhenwu's wisdom, he must have thought of this.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he chose St. Basil's Cathedral. At the same time, Li Weidong also found mysterious materials under the bell tower of the cathedral. This was the most obvious clue.

Therefore, Lin Zhenwu believed that if Li Weidong received his clues, with his intelligence, he would definitely be able to find what he had hidden.

At this point, Lin Zhenwu's motives can be completely explained.

Although he had guessed where Lin Zhenwu buried things, Li Weidong remained calm, waiting for the other party to finish explaining, and expressed his gratitude.

"Brother Chen, are you hungry? I see there is a place to sit next to the garden over there. How about we buy something and fill our stomachs first?"

Li Weidong pointed to the small garden and said to Chen Guangkun.

"Ah, are you going to eat here? Why don't you go back to the hotel?"

Chen Guangkun looked at Li Weidong in surprise.

"We finally got out, so it's okay to go back so early. I happened to see a bread vendor over there, let's buy some to try."

Li Weidong encouraged.

Sure enough, Chen Guangkun was immediately moved when he heard that there was bread to eat.

Upon seeing this, Li Weidong immediately took out a few rubles and stuffed them into Chen Guangkun's hand.

"Brother Chen, I'll go over there and take a seat first. You can buy some bread and food. You can also take this elder brother over to buy some. After all, we have troubled others and we should thank them properly."

Li Weidong said seriously.

"Yes, you have to thank them properly. Then you go over and wait for a while. I will take this big brother to buy food."

When Chen Guangkun looked at the rubles in Li Weidong's hand, his expression was obviously a bit eager. The money was more than enough for three people, let alone three more people.

In his opinion, Li Weidong couldn't even understand the words here, so he didn't know how to read, and he didn't know how much money he spent. He could sit down at least one third of the money, and kept Li Weidong without knowing it.

After saying that, Chen Guangkun took the money, then jabbered at the middle-aged man, and enthusiastically pulled him to buy bread.

Li Weidong went to the small garden to take a seat.

When he came to the seat in the small garden, Li Weidong sat down directly, then squinted his eyes, watching the sunlight shining on the top of the tower, and watching the shadow pointing to his side. After confirming this, he stood up and walked back Look.

Then I saw a tree more than ten meters away.

Immediately, Li Weidong quickly came to the tree, circled around the tree, and stepped on it with his feet.

Until he stepped behind the tree, Li Weidong's feet visibly weakened.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
