Chapter 716 Surveillance
The so-called appointment was not in the military's military base, nor in any Vanrier's bureau. The people sent by the military this time found an open-air cafe. After showing his ID, he asked the cafe to clear the cafe immediately. Although the owner of the cafe was a little unhappy, he still obeyed the second lieutenant's request. After all, this was the military's order. If he did not cooperate, the other party might arrest him.
The military's reputation has always been very strange. To put it simply, no one would say that the military is a good person, except for those military families whose children are serving. Vanriel, who just ended military control, is even more unlikely that anyone would stand up and say that the military is a good person. The military is so good that it goes against its conscience. Some time ago, various free requisitions have made Vanriel's citizens disgusted with the soldiers. This time, the military requested the clearance to make the cafe owner suddenly have some money, and he will inevitably hate it very much.
"A cup of mellow and a portion of Naba burrito..." Dulin ordered fifty pieces on the table, "This is a compensation for the losses you have suffered. Although I don't like these people, I need to talk to them now, but this does not mean that I am the same as them, it is what you deserve."
The boss, who looked dead at the family, suddenly became a little helpless. He looked at the money on the corner of the table with some greed, and then retreated a little, "Mr. Du Lin, you don't need to do this."
It is not surprising that the owner of the cafe knows Dulin. Many people in the entire empire know Dulin. Some time ago, the overwhelming reports not only included the name Dulin, but also photos of Dulin. He always appeared in the reports in a positive image. Even if some people poured dirty water on him, they quickly sank in the mainstream wave.
Under Du Lin's gentle gaze, the cafe owner nodded embarrassedly, "Okay, thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Du Lin, your kindness and generosity are as warm as the sunshine!" The cafe owner also spoke a very rhyming sentence, which may be heard from opera or poetry. In the eyes of many people, the cafe always seems to have an indescribable literary atmosphere. In fact, there are not many such people. Most cafe owners are very ordinary businessmen and cannot tell such a cultural sentence.
He bent his waist and then turned and left.
The second lieutenant had no expression on his face, but he was actually very fucked.
"Mr. Dulin, where are you this morning?" The lieutenant adjusted his mind slightly and began to talk about some things that might have something to do with Mennon's murder.
"Morning?" Dulin took out a cigarette and lit it, leaned against the chair, and didn't look at the officer in front of him at all. He said, "I have been on the construction site these days. As you have seen before, I need to be responsible for the infrastructure of the resettlement site, and I need to supervise them. This is responsible for them and for all investors."
"Did you know Mayor Mennon was murdered in the morning?"
"I know, someone told me."
The lieutenant looked at Du Lin for a while before asking, "Aren't you shocked?"
"Shock?" Dulin laughed happily, "Why am I shocked? Because that bastard Mennon died? I have to say that this is a very pleasant thing. If it wasn't too early, I might have a little wine to celebrate."
The lieutenant frowned and asked, "Why? As far as I know, there seems to be no holiday between you and Mayor Mennon?"
Dulin looked at the owner of the cafe who brought him his mellow coffee and Naba burrito, said thank you, then picked up the burrito and took it, chewing it while telling the reason. In fact, it was very impolite to do so, but Dulin didn't care. These people were enough to make him take it seriously, and the other party's attitude was problematic. Only appropriate humiliation could make them understand that the West is not the West of the military.
He told the lieutenant about Mennon's efforts to prevent him from buying a mine, including how Mennon kept perfunctory and procrastinating in applying for a certificate. In short, in Dulin's description, Mennon was a very stupid villain. What he was stupid was that he thought he did was Dulin didn't know what he did, but Dulin not only knew, but probably knew more than he knew.
This is very consistent with the suspicious characteristics of Dulin, because he has a grudge with Mennon, but judging from Dulin's tone, expression and attitude alone, Dulin's suspicion is not very large. Most criminals will try their best to get rid of any connection between themselves and criminal behavior during the lurking period after the crime, but Dulin said this bluntly, giving people a hint that Dulin will not be a criminal subjective.
The more questions asked, the smaller the suspicion of Dulin was. The inquiry lasted about twenty minutes. When the lieutenant asked a new question, Dulin suddenly stood up. His actions made the lieutenant shut up inexplicably and looked at Dulin seriously.
Dulin glanced at the lieutenant, raised his wrist and looked at the time. He drank the last bit of coffee in the cup and put the quilt back on the table, "Okay, I think you know enough. Your question has begun to deviate from your topic today, and what I should answer is almost the same. I have something to do, so I will say goodbye first." After that, Dulin nodded and took the people into the car and left quickly.
Seeing the convoy disappearing into the traffic, the lieutenant retracted his gaze and looked at the notebooks in his hand, and for a moment he had a very absurd idea. He felt that Dulin was not the murderer because Dulin was very "candid". Whether it was a question involving privacy or a question involving privacy, as long as he asked about Mennon's murder, Dulin would not mind answering it. These answers were true. He had this feeling that Dulin did not deceive him or fabricated a lie to perfunctory a question.
It is precisely because of Dulin's frankness that the second lie felt that Dulin did not lie and did not send anyone to kill Mennon.
He sat in the cafe for about three to five minutes. Two tourists who looked like tourists walked into the cafe's yard. When the boss was about to walk over and tell them that it was not open for business for the time being, the two men walked directly to the lieutenant and sat down. They took the notebook from the lieutenant, looked carefully at the contents on it, and nodded from time to time.
These two people are a brand new investigation team composed of several members sent by the Safety Committee and the MIIS. Their mission is to stare at Dulin and find evidence of his crime when he makes a mistake. The above did not assign them offensive tasks. They do not need to arrest Dulin himself. What they need is to collect as much information and evidence of criminality as possible, so that Dulin can be killed in court when needed in the future.
The two of them looked very good. They had been staring at Du Lin for more than ten days. His whereabouts during this period were not different from what he said, which was also a place that made them feel discouraged. Even though they knew that Du Lin was a bastard, a scumbag and a criminal, they could not find even a slight connection with the crime, let alone the evidence.
Mennon died, and he died in Vanrier. These two guys, including the investigation team, thought Dulin might have been involved, but the problem is... Dulin really did nothing. Even Dulin made a phone call while running a few days ago, and they all tracked down. When Dulin was on the phone, he called him to his father.
After confirming the transcript, the two left directly. The lieutenant also took the non-commissioned officer to leave the cafe. If Du Lin did not take action, he could only focus on others.
Just half an hour after they left, a very ordinary Guarte walked into the cafe inconspicuously in very common clothes. After a moment, he left without drinking coffee, eating snacks, and doing nothing.
After pushing for fifteen minutes, Du Lin put down the phone, "Look, I know, I always feel that someone is staring at me recently, but I haven't found these people. I think I'm too sensitive, but it's not."
"There is no doubt that someone is monitoring us, and it is close to us, but I asked you to search the neighborhood and find nothing. These people should be from the military, they have more experience and more advanced instruments, and even now, they are watching me walking around my house somewhere!"
Du Lin looked as far as possible towards the only window in the villa without curtains, as if someone was hiding behind the window and peeking at everything here!
At this time, a seven-story house was about one thousand meters away from Dulin's villa. The guy who was responsible for monitoring and recording Dulin's daily life suddenly shivered. At this distance, the specific target could no longer be observed with the naked eye. For this reason, the military equipped several long-distance military electronic observers for them to use. This equipment is often used for military observations at a distance of five kilometers. Through a screen, the appearance of people five kilometers away can be clearly seen.
This place is only one thousand meters away from Dulin's villa, which is enough to see Dulin's villa more clearly. However, the look that Dulin suddenly turned his head just now seemed to penetrate the limits of human eyesight, and even penetrate the walls and curtains of the house, and saw the observer sitting outside the monitor observing Dulin.
His body shook with Dulin's terrible eyes, and then he felt ridiculous. How could it be?
