Secret Track

Chapter 1 Old Sha-2

Old Sha said roughly what he knew, to the effect that they do this line of work, work in two kinds of fast and slow. Doing fast work, that is, steady and accurate, after the hand, immediately the stolen goods, and then disappear, the target is usually not very large, with high efficiency to earn money quickly, even if something happens, there will not be too serious consequences. Basically engaged in this line of work, more fast work, is usually said to be thieves. Of course, people who do fast work is also a master, good work, to the realm of masters, craft and fast and slow not much connection. Lao Sha learned is slow work, may do a single business, it takes months, or even a year or two to prepare. Set yourself up with your identity and background, then slowly approach the target, and finally strike. It goes without saying that the benefits received from such targets are far greater than ordinary theft, and can allow him to live a long time without worries.

Lao Sha finally became a relatively famous person in the industry after honing his skills in the early 1990's. Before that, he had missed some shots but didn't get caught. Then someone heard of his reputation and took it upon themselves to get him to do things. He did two deals in those two years and the money he got would have allowed him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. It was Old Sha's habit to use his identity as a security guard to get close to his targets.

When I heard that, I couldn't help but wonder, back when we were in the Three Gorges, he was doing security, was there something in our mall back then that he missed? Lao Sha denied it with a smile, saying he just felt like taking a break at the time and that he liked being a security guard. This is also a regular cover for his identity. If what he said is true, then this explanation, I certainly do not believe. When we first went to the Three Gorges, the newspapers reported more than once that artifacts had been excavated on several of the dam's Middle Fort islands. This kind of thing, the most by thieves. But it looks like Old Sha is not going to say what he did in the Three Gorges, I did not ask more.

"But why did you leave without saying goodbye then," I asked Lao Sha, "Isn't that contrary to your purpose?"

"I took on a business deal at the time," Sr. said, "and I just didn't have time to deal with me leaving."

From the tone of the old sand to analyze, I think the injuries he suffered, I guess the business he said very urgent caused.

People should not ask why I know such a person with the identity of a criminal, not to go to the police to uphold justice and the law. I can only say here that what I said is a story, even if the old Sha told me, but also can only be treated as a story. The injuries on his body, and can not have any convincing, it is likely that the old Sha suffered some accidental injuries, staged to say just. I do not like to dwell on the authenticity, if any, I tell the story is enough.

Old Sha left without saying goodbye in that year because he received a big order. And in this business, he met a person, he said he had been mixed up in his life, finally met a very identity. That person is also a security guard, before doing security, in the army as a soldier, won the whole military district fighting champion. Old Sha finally let slip: "I think this person, like the people in the novel you wrote, the ability is very strange."

"I made that all up!" I hurriedly defended to Lao Sha. "Then you can assume that I also made it up." Lao Sha said calmly. "You knew I would accompany my friend here today?" I couldn't help but begin to speculate on Lao Sha's intentions. "Many things in the world are interconnected." Lao Sha said, "People are the same, so it's not much of a coincidence." Lao Sha did not explain further, but continued to speak. After receiving that business, Lao Sha immediately ran to a remote town in the north. Because time was short, he could not settle the aftermath of his resignation and other things at the mall in Sanxia, and immediately rushed there.

The name of this town is Hu Fu Town, a rather industrialized place with many factories. But it used to be an ancient town with a long history, existing for at least a thousand years, with great people and beautiful scenery, very important geographically, since ancient times is a place where soldiers must fight. From ancient times to the present day fought many battles, I do not know how many people have died, the nearby farmers, often able to excavate the ancient soldiers' mutilated bones. As the industrial environment of the country was not so good in those years, the town's industries gradually moved away, leaving only a lingering steel mill, while the culture of the ancient town was given attention and gradually became a leisure spot mainly for sightseeing and tourism, under the banner of ancient battlefields. There are several ancient beacon remains nearby, and several inexplicable buildings, and of course the magnificent scenery is also a selling point.

The person who asked him to do business in the past is the same as him, a special slow work. This person's name is unknown, even Lao Sha only know that he has a nickname called "God stealer". Generally speaking, nicknames are called by people in the circle, can be called by the circle of people as a thief, in the end he really has this level, or just a complimentary gag, Lao Sha also did not say clearly. The thief is at least a little capable, it is certainly much stronger than the average vermin, otherwise Lao Sha would not follow him to do.

Although do not know each other's real name, but this does not affect the two become partners, do this kind of thing on each other's background to know the less the better, together to keep in touch, when there is work to get together, after the matter is completed, each does not have to do, once there are new clues, the next cooperation. In fact, people who do unseen business, especially this kind of slow work, often need such a relationship, or else single-handedly, it is difficult to make things. And this type of people, once identified, will cooperate in the business of the wind to go to the rain, on the knife mountain under the sea of fire, never say two words. And try not to ask the other party's life and origin. This is the road often said professional ethics, but also the old sand for many years to deal with the world's one of the most basic principles.

God thief in the ancient town to do work, encountered some trouble, immediately thought of old Sha, and very urgent, a hundred thousand fire. Old Sha did not ask anything, the first time to the ancient town. Before arriving in the old town, Lao Sha did a little preparation, dressed up as a fashionable foreign tourists. He was very ordinary looking and knew how to do it without attracting attention, just like throwing a grain of sand in a pile of sand, after years of learning, it was not difficult long ago. Even if he doesn't know what the divine thief wants him to do, the first priority is self-preservation, which must not be forgotten at all times. In fact, to put it bluntly, on a keyword "safety first", business did not succeed can do the next single, but the life is lost, then everything is lost. Doing slow work of people, the most patient, not anxious impatience, has not begun to enter, think about how to retreat. And, from the call of the divine thief, this single has begun. As for how the two became friends, although I am very interested, but Lao Sha did not speak, I do not ask, when the right time, he will tell me.

Lao Sha came to the ancient town, according to the location agreed by the divine thief, met the divine thief in a hotel by the street.

People think that when the thief is a pretty mysterious thing, and with the name of the divine thief, it should be turned to not, either, it should be a common type of movie, thieves, a look at the eyes is not a good person. In fact, the first look at the divine thief people, will not associate him with the thief. Even if he personally told people that he was a thief, others would not necessarily believe it. He was gentle and elegant, like a highly educated, even elite-educated scholar, with rather long ten fingers, typical of a pianist's hands.

Old Sha still knows a little bit about him, that is, in order to get a family heirloom of some rich man's family, he had pretended to be a tutor, teaching for the rich man's daughter, hard to help her in two months to double her grades, so that she got into a famous university. Of course, in addition to getting a generous teaching fee, that treasure he did not forget to take away. Until the rich man found the treasure missing and called the police, he was never included in the list of suspects. This incident is regarded as a classic by the industry juniors, have been bad knowledge, in order to be able to cover the ears of the people, clear theft and take.

In fact, they overlooked one thing, the name of the divine thief, where it is so easy to get, the divine thief using the identity of the governess to steal, secretly have to do a lot of homework, not just the high school textbooks drill clear so simple. Rather, it relies on a powerful underground information network and a strong sense of smell to find the target. Then a long time to prepare, probe the target's environment and background, and then according to these, to develop the simplest, most direct and most effective program to obtain the target object. Seems simple, but this kind of hard work is actually not experienced by outsiders.

Old Sha thinks he can't do it, so he also admires the Divine Thief. However, what Lao Sha can do, God Stealer may not be able to do. After all, no one is all-knowing and all-powerful, this time, the value of friends is reflected, through complementary assistance, a clear division of labor, we work together to complete a task.

In the hotel, Lao Sha not only met God Thief, but also met another of God Thief's helpers - God Thief's girlfriend, a girl named Yan'er. Old Sha knows that this name is 100% fake name, casually made a very common name out, the purpose is also to disguise their identity. This is true for both men and women. People in this business, but a bit of humanity, either and family relatives and friends cut off contact, or very tight lipped, do not mention any point with the family in this regard, so as not to let the family worry, or capsize tired of the family. To be able to steal so close to God, this girl must be capable. The two of them work together smoothly and can make a lot of things without almost any intervention from outsiders. They have an extremely clear division of labor, one is responsible for patrolling the environment outside and looking for cut-throughs, while the other is at home using the computer for behind-the-scenes assistance. Yes, the little girl named Yan'er, is a computer expert, a thin laptop, hiding countless information, as well as very effective software processing tools. These two people, using high technology to commit crimes. "It is not easy to eat this bowl of rice, do not keep up with the times, sooner or later eliminated by the times." This is the phrase that the divine thief hangs on to.
