Chapter Thirty: Tracking!
Lin Xiao settled the matter of finding a house on the second day. Under the offensive of money, he quickly found a decent place to live.
After signing the contract and paying a full year's rent, this typical American-style villa belonged to Lin Xiao, of course, just for a year.
Having a house, it's natural to have a car for transportation.
Lin Xiao couldn't ride a motorcycle, but he could still drive a car, so he spent another $20,000 to buy himself a very nice convertible sports car. It has to be said that foreign cars are really much cheaper than domestic ones.
With a car and a house, Lin Xiao thought about learning how to ride a motorcycle, after all, this is related to the next action.
Lin Xiao wants to learn is not just simply learning how to ride a motorcycle, but also to master some good techniques. He clearly remembers that in the game, those characters were riding motorcycles through tunnels at high speed and had to shake off police cars chasing them, which is not something that can be done by just knowing how to ride.
This way, he can't go find those regular motorcycle coaches, and those irregular street racers, Lin Xiao doesn't know any of them. Originally, he could have gone to ask Odesa for help, but he suspects that the last time he was ambushed had something to do with Odesa, so now he dares not look for him.
After some thought, Lin Xiao could only think of one person.
Franklin, one of the three protagonists in GTA 5, is a real expert, at least on two wheels and four wheels, his skills are quite solid.
"But where should I go to find him?"
Lin Xiao felt depressed and found out that she had no idea where to find Franklin.
"Wait, there must be a way. Let me think carefully!" Lin Xiao furrowed his brow and thought hard. If he calculated correctly, today was the day Franklin and Ma Ke were supposed to meet for the second time. Looking at the sky outside, it was already noon. At this moment, Franklin might be on his way to Ma Ke's house.
"So I should go to Ma Ke's house and wait for a rabbit to come bounding out?" Lin Xiao slapped his forehead, finally thinking of a plan.
Get in the car and open the door, Lin Xiao directly opened Santos' map, found the suspected Macau residential area where he lived, and then used the navigation instrument on the car to determine the location, and drove there directly.
"It's all because of Mike's quick actions, if Ximen hadn't been caught yet, I could have asked him about Franklin's residence." Lin Xiao muttered to himself as he drove along the navigation system's instructions.
This morning when buying a car, he also went to the Ximen auto dealership, but unfortunately found that the other party had already closed the door. It seems that at this time Ximen has been caught by the police and it must be said that Maike's connections with the police are indeed good.
Lin Xiao's driving speed was not slow, and the road conditions in Santos were also quite good, so it only took him more than half an hour to arrive at that residential area.
"Let me think for a moment, I remember that Mick's house is in the southern part of that residential area, near an intersection."
Lin Xiao relied on his memory and drove slowly around the nearby area.
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when he finally found the location of McDonald's.
Lin Xiao stopped the car by the side of the road, opened the door and got out, circled around and returned to the back wall of Maike's house.
After checking that no one was around, Lin Xiao suddenly jumped high and grabbed the top of the wall with both hands. With a forceful pull, his upper body cleared the wall, and across a green belt, Lin Xiao saw what was inside.
"The timing is just right." Lin Xiao muttered to himself, his gaze shifting from Ma Ke who was lying in the yard enjoying a sunbath, to Franklin who was walking over from the other side of the pool.
Before the two of them had left, Lin Xiao let go and fell back onto the ground. He didn't even notice a passerby who was walking over from afar with a puzzled gaze. He directly ran back to his car.
"Next, I'll just wait for the two of them to drive away, and then I can simply follow them." Lin Xiao thought to himself, his eyes fixed tightly on the gate of Maike's house.
He also thought about whether he should just go in, but it's hard to explain how he knew this was Mike's house, and he had just expressed his feelings to Mike yesterday. He was afraid that if he got too clingy, it would only lead to Mike's disgust.
He is looking for Franklin also for the next action, if he knows Franklin but loses the opportunity to join the next action, it will be a loss.
When waiting patiently, time always passes very slowly.
Just as Lin Xiao checked his phone for the eighth time, the door of the McDonald's finally opened, and a bright red convertible sped out from inside, making a sharp turn before speeding away into the distance.
Lin Xiao hastily drove to catch up.
Although Maiko's driving skills are not as good as Franklin's, they are much better than Lin Xiao's. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xiao's neural reactions had improved a lot after the last strengthening, he really couldn't keep up with Maiko's speed.
He didn't care about red lights or green lights, and just rushed through them. Lin Xiao didn't have time to worry about getting a ticket or not at this point, in fact he didn't even have a driver's license. As for whether he would be discovered or not, before leaving the house Lin Xiao hadn't forgotten to wear his hat and mask, and with a pair of black shades on, he was confident that even if he were standing right in front of Mai Ke, he wouldn't be recognized, let alone in this situation.
Lin Xiao didn't care if he would be discovered or not, anyway he had long thought that after confirming Franklin's residence, he would directly go and repaint the car, as for the license plate, just change it.
Following Mick's car, Lin Xiao quickly drove onto the big bridge, and then he witnessed with his own eyes the scene of flying cars rescuing Jimmy in the game. It has to be said that it was a thrilling and heart-pounding sight, but also very exciting and blood-boiling.
After a high-speed car chase, Mickey's car hood started smoking and slowed down suddenly. His yacht didn't seem to be able to catch up anymore.
Lin Xiao also slowed down, following Mack's car little by little, watching him drive to a repair shop, then get out of the car and give Franklin some money, before walking away with a disappointed face.
Lin Xiao stopped at a distance from the repair shop, watching until more than two hours later, when the repaired car finally came out of the repair shop, Lin Xiao followed again.
This time there was no need to rush, so Franklin drove very calmly. Lin Xiao didn't have to keep running red lights either. He followed Franklin at a distance of three or four cars, watching him send Jimmy home and then return to his own home.
"Originally lived here!" Lin Xiao was depressed to find that Franklin's residence was actually the same residential area where he had robbed several times before, and wondered if this was a kind of ironic coincidence.
