Old Time Tea took a deep breath, but this time it wasn't because of the stray cat. It said in surprise, "Who is that old lady? How can her eyes be so sharp? "
Next to the greenish-gray courtyard wall, the old lady was wearing a gray vest and gray pants that were similar to the color of the wall. At first glance, it almost formed a perfect camouflage. Only the red armband on her arm was particularly bright.
She looked around with vigilant eyes, as if she was sizing up criminals. Any strange car or stranger that passed by had to bear the scrutiny of her eyes until they completely disappeared from her field of vision. Being stared at with such a chilling gaze was enough to deter people with bad intentions.
Around her neck hung a hand-knitted woolen phone case. Once she found a suspicious person or suspicious car, she would immediately pick up the phone and quickly report in a low voice.
Zhang Zian coughed and explained, "She should be a cadre of the neighborhood committee of the nearby street. Although they are both neighborhood committees, her temperament is much more powerful than the Grandma Gu of the neighborhood committee on Zhonghua Road! This is the Chaoyang District of the capital. If I guessed correctly, that extremely vigilant old lady should be the legendary big secret … No, the legendary Chaoyang District people! "
"Oh? The people in the Chaoyang District are very powerful? "Old Time Tea was shocked.
"Of course. Every year, countless cases are reported by the people in the Chaoyang District and solved. From major cases that shocked China to public security cases that involved stealing, the people in the Chaoyang District are active everywhere! It is listed as one of the world's top five intelligence organizations, alongside the CIA, KGB, MI6, and Mossad! The key is that the people in the Chaoyang District are very secretive. Everyone you meet in the Chaoyang District, regardless of gender or age, may be one of the people in the Chaoyang District! They talk and laugh in front of you, but they report you behind your back. It's like an inescapable net, impossible to guard against! Just like the old lady just now, looking at her vigilance, she's probably a small leader in the Chaoyang District. The bounty she gets every year for reporting crimes is higher than her pension … Right, I didn't speed just now, did I? I hope she didn't report my license plate … "
Zhang Zian's saliva flew everywhere as he drove, and the elfins in the car were stunned.
"So, there are no cat abuse incidents in the capital. Presumably, the existence of the people in the Chaoyang District deterred potential cat abusers?" Old Time Tea asked.
"It's possible." "The security situation in the capital is better. There are satellites in space, surveillance cameras above our heads, and the people of the Chaoyang District on the ground. It forms a three-in-one security system. If you want to commit a crime here, you have to think about your own capabilities first."
Having said that, even if the skills of every Chaoyang District citizen were comparable to James Bond and were omnipotent, there was only one Chaoyang District in the capital after all. It could not perfectly explain why there were no cat abuse incidents in other districts.
Jokes aside, Zhang Zian and the elfins paid attention to their surroundings as they drove. Fortunately, the sky was still dark, and there were relatively few cars on the road. They wouldn't go the wrong way or crash into another car.
What he saw was... So early in the morning, there were many old men and women walking on the streets. Some were wearing exercise clothes, some were carrying vegetable baskets, and some were even leading their own dogs. What they had in common was that everyone's eyes were extremely bright, staring at vehicles with foreign license plates and people with foreign accents.
Not only that, but there were also a lot of stray cats in the Chaoyang District. The eyes of these cats were similar to the eyes of the people in the Chaoyang District. Whenever a stranger passed by, they would always raise their ears vigilantly. From the top of the wall, between the tree branches, under the porch, and behind the solar water heater leaning against the roof, they would stick their heads out and stare at you.
But the locals seemed to be used to it, and when these stray cats faced the locals they knew, they would change their attitude, wagging their tails and meowing for food. Many of the old men and women also fed the stray cats with snacks, and they were all cooked.
They finally passed through the Chaoyang District and entered the core area of the capital. Zhang Zian and the elfins could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Being stared at by those eyes was really unnerving.
"Famous, I'm going to make you invisible too, because the capital does not allow dogs with a shoulder height of more than 35 centimeters, and pets are not allowed in the square where the flag is raised."
While waiting for the traffic light, Zhang Zian said to Famous.
Famous did not object, but it was very curious. It raised its paw and gestured. "35 centimeters? Aren't they all small dogs? But just now on the road, I clearly saw someone raising a dog that was quite tall, definitely more than 35 centimeters. "
"It should be. In fact, I don't know how the 35 centimeter standard came about. It might have been decided on a whim … As for those people, they should be raising them secretly. If the people don't sue, the officials won't investigate. But I have always been a law-abiding citizen, and I never do anything against the law. Of course, as long as I don't get caught, it's not against the law. "Zhang Zian said and made it invisible.
Many cities banned the raising of fierce dogs, which was understandable, but he did not know why large dogs were banned. Many large dogs were more docile than small dogs, and they were less likely to bite. On the contrary, some small dogs were very fierce … It could only be said that the people who made the policy probably did not understand dogs at all, and they wanted to save trouble.
Old Time Tea suddenly sniffed and praised, "Good tea! Where is this tea fragrance coming from? "
Zhang Zian looked out and saw a teahouse with ancient decorations in front of him. Two slightly tacky golden dragons were stepping on pink and blue auspicious clouds, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
It was too early, and the teahouse was not open yet, but the tea fragrance was overflowing.
He introduced, "That is Laoshe Teahouse, basically one of the best teahouses in the capital, and it is ranked among the best in the country. When we go back later, Grandpa Tea, how about we stop for a few cups of tea? "
"Okay! Okay! " Old Time Tea's eyes were shining, and it nodded happily. "Just by smelling this elegant fragrance, I know that the tea inside must be good!"
Old Time Tea had been drinking the instant tea bags provided by the hotel for the past few days. Although it did not complain, it was not really enjoyable.
"It is not easy to park the car in front of the teahouse. Let's park the car near the entrance of the teahouse and walk there," Zhang Zian suggested.
When Fina heard that they were leaving, it could not help but complain again. But there was no other way. Parking near the square was not allowed, and if they were forced to stop, they probably would not be able to return to Binhai City.
There were already a few cars parked in front of the teahouse, and he also parked his car there.
There were many crows on this street, and the cars parked here were inevitably attacked by bird droppings. The front windshield of a car was full of yellow and white bird droppings, but since it was a rented car, it was not a big deal.
After locking the car, he took the elfins to the square through the underground passage.
