Chapter 112 - The wily hare has three holes to his burrow (1/2)

Half an hour later, I see that kid is running to the place where we were talking and looking around for me. I watch the surroundings carefully, and no one is following him. I’m just relieved to come out.

“Boss!” When the boy sees me, he’s relieved as if he’s afraid of me to run away. Then he takes two tickets out of his pocket and hands to me. I check the train number and time are all right. Then I hold in my hand and check it again to make sure they are not the fake tickets.

He looks at my movements and immediately says: “You can rest assured! Absolutely true! I won’t cheat you with fake tickets! We have relationships!”

I nod and speak nothing.

Ticket touts mostly relate to the ticket offices, which is known to all people on earth. Otherwise, where do the scalpers have so many tickets? Without the relationships, where can the they buy so many tickets? It’s ridiculous to appeal to tighten the scalpers. Can they really do that? Why not check how’s so many tickets get into the the scalpers’ hands?

The pool is very mixed!

Two tickets, the boy charges me double of the original prices. I do not bargain, just pay to him, and then hand him extra two hundred money.

After that, I turn around to the road and walk around for several times and make sure that no one is following me. Then I’m just relieved.

I find there’s a fried chicken restaurant nearby, go in and order a takeaway set meal. When I go out, I take out two train tickets from my pocket, tear them to pieces and throw into a garbage can at the door.

Hum, just let you chase!

I sneer, take the food, go across the street, and enter the subway entrance.

My strategy is simple:

These people at the railway station, whether they sell fake tickets or false certificates, or scalpers who resell the train tickets. They are all organized. It’s like another underground world.

The underworld is not just as outside people understand as all of those gangsters or hooligans who are tattooed and fighting outside all the time. Like that kid, who’s making a living in the train station, also a part of it.

I’m sure that Jimmy Chou’s people couldn’t catch me in the original city, and they’ll search surrounding cities quickly. HaiCity will definitely be searched as one of the key targets.

Moreover, once they start searching, they will look for these big and small groups who make living at railway stations, wharfs and long-distance stations, ask them whether there’s any information, and order them to pay attention to. After all, these guys are the local villain.

At that time, they will easily get the news that a young man who looks like Chen Yang has bought two tickets to Rooyan City in the morning. According to the description of his appearance, he is suspicious. And according from the kid scalper to identificate the photos that it’s very likely Chen Yang himself! So, they can basically make sure that’s me!

Then what?

Then they just go to Rooyan City to look for me everywhere. I’ll just leave the whole city to them, without me for sure.

Why I choose to deal with that boy? It’s simple, because I know their rules.

The people who just came up to talk to me were all bit parts. And that kid, who has been very stable to smoke aside in the corner, did not go to talk to anyone at all. This fellow is the subchief here. Usually, he does not come up and talk to passers or do business on they own. He just leaves his subordinates to work. Himself is mainly responsible for supervision and observation.

I used them to send out a false message. I’m sure there will be at least 80% chance that Jimmy Chou’s man will be misled that I’m escaping to Rooyan City.

When you are running away, you’d better take a train or a long-distance bus. Because these two means of transportation do not need to register the names.

As for airplanes, don’t go this way unless you have false documents. Because it will leave an identity record. But I know the airport checks are very strict and it’s hard to pass with the fake documents now.

Taxis are absolutely not allowed to ride! Because of taxis are operating vehicles which are organized by the companies. Once someone intends to track you down, just need to ask the company to give out a notice to all vehicles that any vehicle going out of town must report to company. Such an order is very easy to give out. Every taxi has a walkie-talkie. After a few words from headquarters, almost all the taxis know it immediatly.

At that time, if you take a taxi to escape, wherever you go, as long as people check afterwards, you can be found out easily!

As for those unlicensed cabs which are soliciting business at the station, they are even more unable to take!

Like the tout groups at the station selling fake tickets. In fact, most of these unlicensed cabs in the station are organized. The chasing people will find those cars. If you take it, you just leave a clue too!

Take long-distance bus or the train, the biggest advantage is that there are so many people. No one will pay attention to you!

If you take the taxi to run, only you and the driver in the car, your appearance is easy to be noticed. Take the unlicensed cab is the same.

I casually find a station out of the subway and go upstream in the crowded. HaiCity has a very dense population, with heavy traffic during the day, especially in places like subway stations. City men and women are all walking fast. The rhythm of the whole city is so fast and tense!

I walk expressionlessly on the street of this strange city, find a Metro station to take a few more stops and come out, turn several corners after leaving the station, and make sure I’m safe now. I go cross two streets and find a train ticket retail outlet.

It’s on the first floor of a big building. There’s a bank on the left and a hotel on the right. I watch outside to make sure there’s no camera probe, and then I swagger in.

I buy four tickets, all to GZ City. Unfortunately, there are only regular seats available, but no idea. We’re escaping now, not traveling, so we can’t pursue enjoyment.

I go out and find another train ticket outlet and buy four more tickets to FZ City.
