Spy Family

There are seven or eight teachers who teach espionage classes. The one who has the most frequent contact with students is Uncle San. His surname is Mei, but his real name is unknown. He is very tall, almost two meters tall, but has a slight hunchback, which reduces his height a lot. It is said that this is the same as his age. Related to the injuries he suffered while spying.

“Spies don’t believe in coincidences.” He teaches a basic course, and it’s one of the many things he repeatedly reminds students in class to pay attention to going forward.

The third uncle will also give some examples as support. He will never confirm whether these stories are true or false.

In the seventy-plus years of Xingyuan, when King Zhai was not yet called King Zhai, the planet's population experienced its first big explosion, and various forces that were originally peaceful began to compete for power.

An investigator from Power A - Uncle San refused to point to any specific party - was a policeman by profession, and his jurisdiction happened to be the location of a sensitive department. One day, he and his colleagues caught a thief and found some Among the stolen items was a microcomputer.

The microcomputer was not encrypted, and the content could be browsed at will. A large amount of information was displayed in front of the investigator. He couldn't believe his eyes and immediately made a copy and sent it to his boss.

Several pieces of intelligence confirmed that hostile force B was preparing to launch a war.

No one believed such an important piece of information because it was such a coincidence that the director of the intelligence agency did not even report it and directly classified it as invalid information.

The intelligence proved accurate, a string of agents were punished, and the entire agency was overhauled.

However, the new supervisor still warned the spies: don't believe in coincidence.

This is what Third Uncle emphasized to the students: There is a certain probability that coincidence is true, but this probability is very low, so low that it is not worth trusting, and so low that every spy should completely rule it out.

Mei Qianzhong did not believe that Miss Yuan was a coincidence. Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou stood at the window and looked at the barber shop opposite, but neither did they believe that it was a coincidence.

What does the old man mean by this arrangement? Lu Yezhou's good mood plummeted.

Don't ask, you won't be able to find out if you ask.

Maybe... maybe the task he wants to give is to monitor the barber shop. Lu Yezhou tried his best to think on the bright side, The location of our room is really good.

Yes. Lu Linbei returned to the sofa and sat down. He was a little tired from the day.

This is why the organization is in urgent need of new people. The more Lu Yezhou thought about it, the more it made sense. The heir to the planet was killed, and the murderer has never been found, so... so the organization's intervention is needed?

He was a little unsure. Logically speaking, spies were not responsible for solving crimes. The entire organization was affiliated with the General Meteorological Bureau of the Zhai Wangxing Joint Committee and had always been on good terms with the police agencies.

Anyway, I guess our first task is to monitor the barber shop. In fact, the con man could have said it earlier and we can start now, right? Lu Yezhou eagerly wanted to show off.

Yeah. Lu Linbei just felt tired.

How about me for the first half of the night and you for the second half of the night?

Um?

You choose, I can do either. Lu Yezhou was still staring out the window.

Okay, just do as you say. Lu Linbei didn't want to argue, got up and went to find the bathroom.

The bathroom is very small, and all the rooms here are very small. There can only be a single bed in the bedroom. Lu Linbei is not picky, at least he has a separate room now.

He opened the old suitcase, picked out a few commonly used items of clothing, closed the suitcase, and placed it next to the bed. Although there was a cabinet in the corner, he did not intend to use it for the time being.

The window in the bedroom was smaller, and outside was the corridor inside the building. The light was so weak that it couldn't illuminate the ground. Lu Linbei closed the curtains and pushed the single bed under the window, just in the blind spot outside the window.

He took off his shoes, put on his clothes and lay down. He was obviously very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Lao Bei? Lu Yezhou whispered outside.

Lu Linbei didn't want to chat, so he endured it for a while and replied, What's wrong?

You're not asleep?

not yet.

Can you talk conversationally? It's so boring.

Um.

The door was pushed open a crack, and the figure flickered. Lu Yezhou returned to the living room window, You can sleep if you can, and don't worry about me.

good.

They spent many nights on the farm like this, talking endlessly in the upper bunk, and sleeping soundly in the lower bunk as a lullaby.

The con man didn't mention his salary. Do you have money? With my little money, I probably can't even afford to rent a toilet. Do you think the income in our line of work is high?

Not sure.

I guess it won't be lower, at least much higher than the farm maintenance workers. They drive good cars every time they go back to the farm. You see, the crooks don't take cars seriously.

Lu Linbei said nothing. Lu Yezhou's hypnotic effect was still strong. He was already sleepy and his upper and lower eyelids were twitching.

Lao Bei, have you ever thought about pursuing another career?

Um.

do what?

Teach. Lu Linbei said vaguely.

Then you have to go back to school first and get a diploma. Is there really such a thing as earth history taught in schools? If I don't do this, I hope to be in sales. I can sell anything...

Lu Yezhou suddenly fell silent. After a while, he walked over quietly, pushed the door open a little, and stood still at the door.

Why don't you monitor me anymore? Lu Linbei asked.

If the crook really wanted to monitor the barber shop, he would definitely use surveillance equipment. There would be no need for human eyes to keep an eye on it all the time.

That makes sense, then go to sleep.

I can not sleep.

Take a shower, lie on the bed for a while and fall asleep.

Lu Linbei didn't know if Lu Yezhou was obedient. He only remembered the sound of rushing water. Then he went to sleep and had countless strange dreams. Some of them he felt were very important and reminded himself to write them down. As a result, After opening my eyes, I still completely forgot about it.

Lu Yezhou stood at the door, as if he had not left all night, but he had changed his clothes and was eating with a plate in his hands. Old Bei, you are so smart, analyze and analyze, what do organizations and liars mean?

Lu Linbei slowly sat up, still feeling tired, There is too little information to analyze.

Hey, I don't really want you to do a formal analysis, I just want to think about it casually.

Lu Linbei raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously, Is there anything to eat?

Lu Yezhou stretched out his plate, and there was a ball of mushy stuff on it, The instant meal, the label says it's chicken flavor, and it tastes like spicy earth.

Lu Linbei put on his shoes and went to the kitchen to take a look.

The kitchen was even smaller and could only accommodate one person walking back and forth. Lu Yezhou followed and still stood at the door, indicating the location of the food.

The instant meal is based on yeast, with various flavors and textures added. It can be eaten quickly after being placed in the chef box. The chef box is rich in functions, and the most commonly used one is instant heating.

Lu Linbei chose the seafood flavor. Seeing his choice, Lu Yezhou laughed while eating.

After the rice was cooked, Lu Linbei understood why Lu Yezhou was laughing after just one bite. This food was indeed not delicious. There was still a bit of flavor in the mouth at first, but after chewing it for two or three times, it was just an indescribable texture.

Eat quickly, it will be better. Lu Yezhou demonstrated how to eat, eating a little at a time and chewing it three times at most before swallowing.

After eating, Lu Linbei said: At least the nutrition is sufficient.

It's enough that I want to eat another portion. Lu Yezhou threw the plate into the pool.

Lu Linbei washed both of their tableware. This was his mother's rule. Dirty dishes were never allowed in the house.

Lu Yezhou ran to the living room window to look out again, and suddenly said bitterly: I really don't want to be a bait.

Lu Linbei sat on the sofa, Do you think we are bait?

Isn't it? Lu Yezhou turned around, Old Bei, you must have thought of something. Tell me, we two have to work together now.

I think this is just a test, nothing serious. Lu Linbei looked very calm, The organization cares about politics and business, and should not be interested in criminal matters.

What is the test? I have... passed it. If it is a test for you, why did you include me?

Maybe it's concentration. Lu Linbei smiled.

As long as he doesn't kill people for no reason, Lu Linbei is always calmer than Lu Yezhou.

I have determination. Lu Yezhou took a deep breath and didn't mention the barber shop again, but kept walking around. He also spotted the car downstairs, The old man's car is still parked outside. Do you think he will come today? ?”

Lu Linbei shook his head and said he didn't know.

It was approaching noon, and Lu Yezhou was about to cook. He went into the kitchen and picked up a pack of instant meals. He sighed and asked to the living room, What flavor do you want?

I want... why don't we go out to eat? I still have some money.

Lu Yezhou walked out with a look on his face that was a little excited and a little nervous, Of course that's good, but if the con man comes and he can't see us...

He didn't say we should be on standby at all times, just let him wait for a while.

That's what you said. Lu Yezhou threw the instant meal back into the kitchen.

The two didn't dare to go far, so they found a small shop nearby. The food here was also cooked by machines, but the ingredients were real, not yeast with added flavors.

The two of them each ordered a set meal. While waiting for the meal, Lu Yezhou whispered: Things in the city are really expensive. If the con man comes again, it's best to talk about the salary, otherwise, we will starve to death.

talk less.

Why? You won't let me speak.

Talk less at 'home'.

Lu Yezhou was stunned for a moment, That was arranged by the con man... Are you saying that we are also under surveillance?

Third uncle said not to believe in coincidences, so we have to be careful at all times.

What about here? Can you speak?

The small shop was full of customers, all chatting while eating and ignoring others.

After the food arrived, Lu Linbei said, It's time to talk.

I just want to know, what do you think? Lu Yezhou asked immediately.

Too little information to analyze.

Lu Yezhou slapped the table angrily, Aren't these the same words?

Lu Linbei smiled, took a bite of the food, and nodded, It's not as good as home, it's better than instant meals. Eat it quickly.

After dinner, the two of them returned to their residence. They stopped downstairs and looked at the barber shop opposite. There was no one in the shop. Through the window, they could see the seats and other facilities. They looked very clean and seemed to have never been touched. .

Lu Linbei said: On May 11th, exactly three months ago, the barber Shao Yunyuan was killed. At that time, the news that he was the heir to the planet had not yet been announced. It would not spread throughout the Internet until the next day, along with the news of his death. .

Yes, that's what happened. Everyone knows it. Lu Yezhou nodded and listened.

According to gossip, Miss Yuan and the conman met for the first time about a month ago, around July 11th.

July 5th, I heard them talking about this date.

Yesterday, August 13th, we came to the old town of Zhaijing and lived opposite the barber shop.

Yes. Lu Yezhou looked expectant, and was extremely surprised when he found that the other party stopped talking, That's all?

I said, there is too little information, but these three items are very important and worth remembering. When more information is available, we may be able to see the clues.

Lu Yezhou was disappointed, shook his head with a wry smile, walked into the building door, took a few steps at a time, and jumped to the third floor.

Opening the door, Lu Yezhou was about to declare his victory loudly when he saw Mei Qianzhong sitting on the sofa. He quickly swallowed his words, I didn't know you were coming, so Lao Bei proposed to go out for dinner.

Mei Qianzhong didn't pay attention. When Lu Linbei appeared, he said, The mission for you two has arrived.
