Chapter 94: Cat Stealing (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wesley first went to rent a car and then went to a supermarket to buy the necessary items. He needed to disguise himself and sneak in. Just thinking about it made him feel excited. This was why he liked the work of an agent. In his previous life, as a failed web novelist, he also had a chuunibyou plot.

After buying his things, Wesley drove directly to the vicinity of the company again and waited for Barry to get off work that night. At the same time, he carefully observed his surroundings. There was indeed a sedan parked nearby with two men inside. They were the people watching Barry.

If he wanted to know the details of their situation, Wesley needed to make physical contact with them, and he couldn’t do it for too short a time, so he gave up decisively. Although Barry was not a good man, Wesley had no intention of harming him. He had offended the Wesley of the past, not the Wesley of the present, and he did not have that much resentment.

It was always rush hour after work, and Wesley needed to concentrate on finding Barry. Fortunately, Barry was physically strong and could be seen hurrying through the crowd.

The man following him started the car and followed Barry directly. Wesley followed them. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This was the current situation, right? Wesley followed carefully. He had no tracking experience. Although he had learned, practice and learning were two different things.

Fortunately, the car he rented belonged to the most ordinary kind, and it was during the rush hour, so he had not been discovered. He came all the way to Barry’s apartment. Wesley followed the car behind him, so he could not see what Barry was doing, but after the car in front stopped, one of the men got out, and Wesley got out immediately. With a little disguise, no one could usually recognize him.

“Apple, this is a supermarket near Barry’s house. Can you hack the surveillance system?” Wesley asked.

“No, all the equipment you’re carrying needs to be linked. It’s rush hour and it’s easy to be exposed.” Apple rejected Wesley’s plan.

“Well, I hope the makeup can be hidden.” Wesley wore a baseball cap, a pair of sunglasses, a leather jacket, jeans and sneakers. He carried a shoulder backpack and walked straight over.

There were quite a few people in the supermarket. Wesley stared at his target, and his target stared at Barry. Barry hurried through the crowd and arrived at the pet food location with ease. He took two bags of cat food and hurried out.

Wesley bought some things near the door and then paid the bill and left. He did not go deep into the supermarket at all. When he saw the cat food in Barry’s hand, he knew that Annabelle must still be there.

However, now that someone was watching Barry, he could not simply sneak in. There was no need to follow him now. Wesley walked out of the supermarket, got into the car, and left. He found a hotel to stay in.

Taking out what he had bought today, Wesley began to make things for his disguise, starting with the fake beard. Wesley had always shaved his chin clean, so now he got some fake beard to disguise himself.

Next was the production of fake documents. If he wanted to use the identity of a repairman to get into the apartment where Barry was, he would need a full understanding of the apartment. Wesley used the hotel’s computer to get Apple to hack into the municipal system and look up information about the apartment.

Gas, electricity, telephones, the Internet, and other municipal infrastructure were often the types of work agents liked to disguise. Door-to-door repairs were a common occurrence, and it was usually citizens who called to report repairs. However, there were also those who took the initiative to come and check. Wesley looked at the inspection records.

This time, he was going to disguise himself as a water repairman. The identification was very simple, and the security guards of the apartment did not have the ability to distinguish between real and fake identification. At the same time, Wesley would make a call in advance to inform them.

Early the next morning, Wesley took out a phone, a S.H.I.E.L.D. device and plugged it into the hotel phone line. He then looked up the number of the water company, reset the phone number, and called the apartment security office.

“Hello, this is the water company. There is an abnormality in the water flow of your apartment. Yes, at ten o’clock, one of our maintenance staff will check the pipes. Yes, okay…” Wesley asked Apple to help him change his voice. Yes, he asked Apple to control his vocal cords and change his voice to a woman’s voice.

Apple’s control over the body has been strengthened a lot. It can control the vocal cords, retina, eardrum, and so on. Wesley would like to see if it can control the muscles of the face to the extent of changing faces.

At ten o’clock, Wesley drove up to the apartment with a toolbox. “Hello, I’m the maintenance man at the tap. Here’s my ID.”

“Oh, you’re right on time. Come in, I’ll show you.” The security guard led Wesley into the apartment. In the pump room on the basement floor, Wesley pretended to check.

“There is nothing wrong here. It may be a pipe problem upstairs or a problem in the house of the resident. This will take time,” Wesley said with reluctance. No one wants to do such a big overhaul.

The security guard asked, “Are you the only one doing so much?”

“Is there any way? Otherwise, we can only change jobs. Now that the unemployment rate is so high, who would dare to change jobs, especially people like us who don’t have a high degree. Sigh, I’ll go up and take a look. If you’re busy, you don’t have to worry about me. You don’t have to work for a long time.” Wesley picked up his toolbox and walked towards the elevator. The security guard hesitated for a moment, then followed him.

“Let me walk you up. There is a plumbing room on each floor. Here is the key.” The security guard deliberately left and gave the key to Wesley, but he still had to follow him up once. Wesley did not show any anxiety. Instead, he took the elevator to the top floor, opened the door of the plumbing room, and began to check it seriously. There were some small leaks in some places, and he dealt with them seriously.

The security guard looked bored, and Wesley did not talk to him. Instead, he worked seriously. Finally, the security guard said, “You can do it first. If you find out that it’s a resident problem, call me. I have something to do down there.”

“Sure, if I find a problem, I will definitely look for you,” Wesley said without looking up.

The security guard left, but Wesley did not act immediately. Instead, he continued working and then went to the next floor.
