Chapter 125 Fisherman

“Long Time No See” is a not-so-big coffee shop located on a pedestrian street.

The decoration is unique and well-designed. Most importantly, one whole side of it is a bright floor-to-ceiling window which provides a direct view of the cashier counter and most of the interior from outside.

When Xiang Kun arrived in the neighboring city, it was already midnight. The coffee shop had just closed, and foot traffic on the street had become sparse.

After being caught by various surveillance cameras during his midnight “patrol”, and then being made an “auxiliary officer” by Officer Chen, he had become rather “sensitive” to surveillance cameras. He paid attention to avoid being captured, passing through the blind spots of the cameras, or at least, not being caught by the cameras face-on.

Of course, in a relatively prosperous city, it would be difficult to completely avoid all surveillance cameras and not to be “pictured”.

Apart from traffic and public safety cameras, there are also cameras installed by various shops, residential areas, office buildings, parking lots and so on. Sometimes, when an official investigation requires, they could even check the footage from dashboard cameras of passing cars, or of people taking selfies or shooting TikTok videos close by, all of which could inadvertently capture him.

So Xiang Kun also did a little disguise. He wore a wig and a baseball cap, at least covering up his most distinctive feature of being bald. Taking off his glasses, his whole demeanor changed somewhat compared to his usual self.

Xiang Kun sat down on a bench in a park across the pedestrian street where it was dimly lit and inconspicuous. Dressed in dark clothes, one would hardly notice someone sitting there unless one looks closely.

His gaze was locked on the entrance of the pedestrian street. Of course, this street has more than one entrance, but three of them were on the side where he was sitting. And whether a person knew the location of the coffee shop or was using a GPS application to find it, they would inevitably enter from the entrance he was observing.

Judging from his own perspective, if the vampire behind “Kasumi of August” was planning to meet him, they would surely rush over and take a look at the situation here first, possibly preparing an ambush with a helper.

If it were him, he would also suspect whether the reason they chose to meet here was that they were temporarily residing in nearby infrastructure like the staff of a certain shop.

So he stayed here and kept a watch, making quick observations of individuals entering the pedestrian street, hoping to identify potential suspicious targets, possibly even catching the vampire coming over to verify the situation.

At this distance, his sense of smell was not that productive. He couldn’t discern any special smells like the ones he picked from the “Giant Owl”. However, this was also a form of self-protection, because he couldn’t be sure if the vampire had enhanced sensory abilities and if they could smell his odor.

Of course, if their sensory abilities were way stronger than his, to the extent that they could sense him from such a distance, then he would simply have to flee. After all, he had made several escape plans.

Xiang Kun sat until 9 am. The pedestrian traffic started to increase and most shops began to open.

He didn’t spot any particularly suspicious targets. There were a few potential ones, but he didn’t resort to tracking them. He simply flagged them in his mind.

The other party might not have arrived in the city yet, or even after arriving, didn’t rush to scout the location, or they might have used other methods to assess the surroundings.

They could even have felt threatened and simply decided to stand him up.
