Chapter 66: Surveillance and Loud Noise
After walking for about ten minutes, he finally saw the blue sign of "Jiawei Electronics Digital" displayed on the navigation from afar.
There was also a line of small words under the sign - mobile phone repair, computer repair, small and medium-sized home appliance repair, etc.
The business scope is quite wide.
Lu Yuan subconsciously took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
I have almost gotten used to seeing the broken mobile phone screen these days.
But since I am here, I might as well fix it.
Clicking on the chat software marked with a red dot on the mobile phone screen, Lu Yuan's eyes fixed on the chat bar with his elder sister Lu Jing after scrolling through the unread messages.
He frowned slightly.
Last time, they agreed to video chat in the evening, but Lu Jing stood him up again.
He didn't reply to messages for three days in a row, and only sent a voice message this morning to explain that he forgot because he was too busy with the archaeological team, and the signal in the desert was often lost. He would find a chance to video chat with him later...
"Hu——"
Lu Yuan let out the stuffy breath in his chest, paid attention to the cars speeding back and forth on the road, and crossed the road carefully and quickly towards the electronic digital store.
This digital store is not big, and there is an "L"-shaped display counter at the entrance.
The air conditioning is quite strong. A short-haired young man in his early twenties, wearing a dark blue T-shirt with the words "Jiawei Electronics" printed on it, is sitting sideways at a computer in the counter facing him and playing games.
The keyboard and mouse are "crackling" loudly.
Lu Yuan walked in, and the short-haired young man tilted his face. Probably because he saw that he was a student, he said directly: "Wait a moment, I'll finish this game."
After that, regardless of Lu Yuan's reaction, he continued to stare at the screen with full concentration.
Lu Yuan walked closer and watched the game the young man played.
It is a MOBA game, which has been very popular recently. He and Cheng Peng have played it before.
It is the red and blue players who control the mecha to destroy the other side's base. Different mechas in the game have different skills and require a lot of operation.
This game is really addictive. It is hard to stop playing once you start.
Lu Yuan was worried that he would have to wait for a long time, but he glanced at the short-haired young man's record - 0-12......
He was relieved immediately.
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, Lu Yuan saw the short-haired young man's screen turn gray four times in a row.
"Damn!"
The short-haired young man threw the mouse in his hand and cursed: "I don't want to play anymore! No one helps me, what's the point of playing!..."
He looked up at Lu Yuan and said with a little complaint: "You are standing aside and affecting my performance."
Lu Yuan: "......."
The short-haired young man typed on the keyboard in the chat box for a long time, and finally left the computer completely to serve Lu Yuan, the customer.
"With a computer?"
The short-haired young man scratched his hair, his face still showing some depression from losing the game.
"No."
Lu Yuan glanced at the counter in front of him and asked, "Do you have any home surveillance cameras? It's better to be smaller and more concealed..."
The short-haired young man looked at Lu Yuan with a strange look, "Pinhole? Pinhole is a bit expensive."
"No need for pinhole."
Lu Yuan shook his head, "A slightly smaller one will do. I mainly want to prevent stray cats and dogs.
It's best to be able to connect to a mobile phone or computer for real-time monitoring."
"Then cat's eye."
The short-haired young man turned around and searched under the shelf behind him for a while, took out a palm-sized box, and threw it in front of Lu Yuan.
"Cat's eye home surveillance camera, not big, can set security monitoring mode, meets your requirements."
Lu Yuan picked up the box and looked at it, and saw the words "60-degree dual-camera zoom, smart night vision, wireless charging, computer and mobile phone Bluetooth connection" printed on the outer packaging.
After thinking for a while, he asked the short-haired young man: "Can I try it?"
"Yes."
The young man was straightforward and took the box apart to demonstrate it to Lu Yuan.
There was indeed no false advertising, and all the functions written in the manual were complete.
Lu Yuan was slightly satisfied, nodded and asked: "How much?"
"Eight..."
The short-haired young man said a number, suddenly waved his hand, and simply said: "Forget it, you give me seven hundred and five."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything, holding the half-palm-sized cat-eye surveillance camera in his hand and flipping it back and forth for a while.
Then he said: "Seventy-five."
"Damn——"
The short-haired young man staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Brother, is there anyone who bargains like you? I can't sell it, I can't sell it..."
He came up and wanted to take the things back from Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan didn't let go, just stared at the short-haired young man's eyes and said.
"Don't worry, I want a lot, and the price can be negotiated."
The short-haired young man was stunned.
"A lot? How many do you want?"
Twenty minutes later, Lu Yuan walked out of the store with six identical cat-eye cameras.
He casually slid the phone with the screen just replaced in his hand.
Six cameras plus a new phone screen, finally sold for two thousand yuan.
"Fortunately, I added some intelligence early, otherwise I would have been ripped off today?"
Lu Yuan was very satisfied with his bargaining results today, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.
Having directly bargained down to 70% off was a feat he had never achieved in his two lifetimes.
In the past few days, through investigation and analysis, he has circled out the possible locations of several rat people near his home.
Six cameras, reasonably allocated, can almost cover all these locations.
"As long as you hear the alarm, rush there as soon as possible, there shouldn't be any big problems."
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and our own conditions are limited.
This is the only preventive measure Lu Yuan can think of against the rat man at this stage.
If he hadn't made some money from boxing with Lin Zhiqin, he would have found it difficult to achieve this measure.
"It's a pity that Ge Wenjun is not willing to work hard at all. Apart from comforting me and reassuring me, he is unwilling to provide any help."
"If you can lend me two 'electronic dogs', grit your teeth and work hard, maybe I can find the rat man."
Lu Yuan's heart is still heavy.
He will always feel uneasy if he doesn't confirm with his own eyes that the rat man died in front of him.
"Buzz--"
When Lu Yuan walked to the side of a street.
Suddenly, the sound of countless dragonflies flapping their wings and gliding low in the sky sounded above his head.
The outer glass wall of the shop next to him also vibrated slightly.
Lu Yuan suddenly jumped under the sun and looked up.
Two silver-gray shuttle-shaped flying objects quickly passed through the sky.
"Flying shuttle, another maglev flying shuttle!"
Two more this time.
He had seen it once on the school playground a month ago, and now he saw it again.
The two flying shuttles were quickly swallowed up by the outline of the distant building.
Lu Yuan watched the flying shuttle disappear, and walked back to the shade without sadness or joy.
His eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
But at this moment...
"Bang!——"
It was like someone took an oversized old-fashioned popcorn machine and blew it up on the street in the distance.
There was no ground shaking or anything.
But this sudden loud noise really scared many people on the street.
The doors of several small shops in front and behind Lu Yuan were opened almost one after another, and someone rushed out quickly.
"What happened?!"
