Chapter 155 Chapter 153 Stone-Throwing Beggar

The full name of the frozen fish factory is "Haofuqi Fishery Deep Processing Experimental Base". It is a comprehensive enterprise integrating scientific research, production, transportation, sales and fraud. While making money in the stock market, it uses frozen fish with unstable quality at the same time. Product is a scam. There are often only two endings for this kind of enterprise: cheating money and successfully running away, or being arrested before running away.

In fact, there is a third type, where the boss takes the money and runs away, leaving the workers who just want to go to work and get paid to take the blame. Fortunately, the boss of this company was shady enough and even deceived his workers. Therefore, these workers have the status of victims and should receive compensation. Some of them put their money together, bought a cold storage and a production line, and started doing business in frozen fish processing here.

This is the history of the frozen fish factory.

If the frozen fish factory can work well and everyone can make money and live a life that may not be that rich but at least is decent, then that can be considered a good ending. But the reality is: The reason why there is no situation where everyone starts to open a company and set up a factory is because starting a company and setting up a factory does not necessarily mean making money.

The frozen fish factory still looks like it is alive and well. Only the cold storage is still in operation every day, and the buzzing sound from the steam refrigerator is a constant noise in the surroundings. Other factories are on holiday most of the time, and if they can work ten days a month, their business is booming.

A factory with little business, a cold storage that runs all day long, Morgana is right to be suspicious of it, and I would be the same way.

Zhuang Xuteng squatted on the side of the road, holding the remaining half bottle of water in his hand, looking around idly. His appearance is quite ordinary, the kind that won't leave much impression after looking at him. According to Lucy, he is very suitable for sneaking in disguise. In fact, as long as Zhuang Xuteng simply changes his clothes, especially if he wears common work clothes, he will be even less conspicuous.

Starting from the morning, Zhuang Xuteng appeared around the frozen fish factory in the appearance of a young man running in the morning and a steam pipe repairman waiting for his colleagues. Starting from the wall of the factory area, he began to investigate from the inside out. He memorized the surrounding road environment, the height and occlusion relationship of buildings, the orientation of floors, and the position of every tree and street lamp in his mind. There are six intersections around the entire frozen fish factory, and more than 300 shops, residences, office buildings or other factories of different sizes. Zhuang Xuteng printed them in his mind in the form of pictures.

He did reconnaissance in the morning, drawing in the afternoon, and analysis in the evening. What he came up with stunned both Gogongdao and Morgana. Even if you take a camera and take pictures of the surroundings in the most questionable way, the final combined effect may not be as good as Zhuang Xuteng's picture. If anyone has more dexterity with their hands - Morgana said she is very good - you can use building blocks to completely restore the surrounding environment of the frozen fish factory. Just make the building blocks according to the area and height marked on the picture.

As a result, Morgana had a second job besides being a supervisor and guarding the streets on Gogong Road: making sand table topographic maps. Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng discussed it and paid Morgana according to the standards of mercenaries. The money is not much, because making maps is a professional service, not an on-the-ground operation. The risk factor is low, so it is not as much as paying for one's life. Although the money for this commissioned task was all paid for by Morgana, the same sentence still applies: one code must be one code, and it is easier to get along with them if the accounts are clear.

Morgana found it fun and was also touched by the professionalism of the two people, so she accepted the proposal. So the next day, she was building blocks at the base of operations, and Zhuang Xuteng continued to conduct investigations.

According to a preliminary survey of the terrain and surrounding enterprises and units, there may be only two commonly used entrances and exits to the frozen fish factory, located on the east and west of a street. Zhuang Xuteng found a beggar with the same body shape as himself in the Hedi District. He used a new set of clothes, a warm sleeping bag and a little money to buy old clothes and some rags. After changing them, he went across the city to stay near the frozen fish factory. Since he had memorized the normal movements of the beggars in the river embankment area, he could imitate them a little and it seemed like that. Besides, who would pay attention to the appearance and movements of beggars when they have nothing to do?

If someone really cares about Zhuang Xuteng's disguise as a beggar, that would be exactly what he wanted, because that person most likely has a security mission, and it is his duty to be vigilant. There are no more than three types of investigation: waiting for the rabbit, throwing stones to ask for directions, and alerting the snake. Zhuang Xuteng pretended to be a beggar just waiting for someone to come, but he didn't mind asking for directions at the same time.

"Working overtime, I won't go back at night," Zhuang Xuteng lowered his head and covered his mouth, and said to Ge Gongdao through the communication headset: "No need to leave food for me, I brought food."

"Pay attention to your health, work can be done at any time, and you only have one life." They were not sure whether they would be eavesdropped, so they did not mention tasks during the call and tried to shorten the time. After the call, Ge Gongdao did not drive away immediately, but waited for an extra hour to weaken the connection with the content of the call.

Winter nights always come early and end very late. Many homeless people lose their lives on such winter nights, and there is still ruthless snow tonight. Like a real homeless man, Zhuang Xuteng went to various shops to order food, and then rummaged through trash cans, looking for anything that could keep out the wind and keep warm. Of course, during this period, he never left the vicinity of the frozen fish factory. Under the dirty and worn hat was a pair of sharp eyes.

It was really cold... The temperature must be minus ten degrees Celsius, right? Zhuang Xuteng wore warm clothes and pants under his beggar's clothes, and had plenty of Pu Pu instant bars to replenish his energy. If things didn't work out, he could transfer the cold damage to the ghosts. In addition, his physical fitness was quite good, so he could always hold on. However, he thought that it would be difficult for ordinary homeless people to survive, so should he play the role of a dead body tomorrow morning?

He had to keep his brain thinking about problems and stay awake. He didn't dare to sleep in this kind of weather. In addition to reminding himself "I can't sleep, I can't sleep", Zhuang Xuteng also summoned the ghost servant to pinch his vitals every ten minutes unless he ordered it to stop. It was like an alarm clock, which kept Zhuang Xuteng awake during the process of delayed ringing.

He shivered under the eaves until the second half of the night. At this time, all the pedestrians on the street disappeared, and not only the lights of the shops, but also the street lights were turned off. In addition to the sporadic lights coming from the windows in the residential area, the whole street was only bright because of the reflection of the snow. The surroundings were quite quiet, and one could even hear the sound of snowflakes falling and piling up. Zhuang Xuteng moved his hands and feet slightly, and the snowflakes he touched would creak, and the sound even made people feel abrupt.

Just then, a lone truck drove over from the distance of the road, not fast, without headlights, like a shadow hidden in the darkness. Zhuang Xuteng immediately stopped all actions, held his breath, and pretended to be an unlucky guy who was about to freeze to death. Under his eyelashes covered with snowflakes, Zhuang Xuteng stared at the vehicle closely, trying to see the person inside the car clearly.

It turned out to be an anti-peep glass installed on the front windshield. If such a car was on the road during the day, it would definitely be stopped and checked by the PCPD. The license plate of the car was also covered, and there was no pattern on the car body, just a bare layer of iron sheet. The vehicle carefully came to the east gate of the frozen fish factory, slowly stopped, and then flashed its lights.

A minute later, the door of the factory area opened and the car drove in. Zhuang Xuteng immediately observed and remembered the appearance of the person who opened and closed the door. It was an old man with a hooked nose, and a red tumor on the left side of his nose, which was a very obvious feature. Because it was winter, everyone was wrapped up tightly. Even with Zhuang Xuteng's observation ability, he only found that his left hand was missing the little finger and the ring finger, and more details could not be seen.

The car drove in and left the factory area about an hour and a half later, at about three o'clock in the morning. From beginning to end, no information about the driver, the ownership of the car, and the task was revealed. At four o'clock, the snowplow was on the road, clearing all traces.

Zhuang Xuteng slowly got up at six o'clock in the morning, turning from a snow pile into a snowman. He cleaned up a little and started begging for things from door to door, which was consistent with his behavior yesterday. Many people were surprised that he didn't freeze to death, and Zhuang Xuteng said it was the blessing of the holy light.

After the gods left, almost no one said things like the blessing of the holy light. This is not a question of whether it is effective or not, but a question of the gods directly abandoning this world, and the so-called blessing will only have a counter-effect. Therefore, everyone thought that this beggar had a problem with his brain and was particularly pitiful. Every meal given to him could be his last dinner.

So Zhuang Xuteng ate half a piece of bread, and there was even half a cup of coffee mixed with snow water in the paper cup in his hand. He came to the door of the frozen fish factory tremblingly, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Which bastard is this? Don't you know that you don't have to go to work today?" After a while, the door opened a crack, and a middle-aged man as thin as a stick stared at Zhuang Xuteng. "Unlucky, it's a beggar. Get out! This place is closed, and there is nothing for you!"

It was not the eight-fingered eagle-hook nose from last night. It was a different person, and Zhuang Xuteng was a little disappointed. He shook the empty paper cup in his hand, stammered and said something kind, while covering his sight to the factory area.

"Let the irrelevant people get out!" A word came from inside the door, and then Zhuang Xuteng saw the back side of the eagle-hook nose. At this time, the skinny guy at the door snorted and said something like "I'm sorry, get out of here", then he kicked Zhuang Xuteng down and closed the door.

Zhuang Xuteng fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed, but in fact he didn't fall hard - the skinny guy was not very strong, or he held back and didn't hit the beggar hard. Relying on the enhanced hearing of his ears, Zhuang Xuteng heard the skinny guy scolding the blind beggar inside, telling "Brother Lu" not to worry about this kind of trash, and that it would be better to stay in the house to keep warm when it's cold.

OK, this is considered to be a little effective, and the next step is to figure out what's going on with the car. Does it come every day? Where does it come from and where does it go, and what is it doing? Zhuang Xuteng is now very sure that there is something strange in the frozen fish factory. Observe for another day today, and go back tomorrow morning, just in time to meet up with the otter. Let's focus on the current intelligence and see what to do later.
