The bus made a midway stop, but the suspect on board hadn't gotten off yet.
His destination was Maduo County.
With more than an hour's drive left, he glanced at his watch, seemingly growing impatient.
Although the bus had already departed and there was certainty that no one had followed, the fact that they were being watched was indisputable.
At that moment.
Another seven or eight passengers boarded the bus, men and women, young and old, among whom there was an old man in his fifties or sixties.
This old man was rather tall, but his back was slightly hunched. He was wrapped in a red Tibetan robe, commonly seen around, with long hair. His temples and beard were streaked with white, unkempt as if he were a nomadic old believer.
In his hand, he also carried a walking stick, from which hung a bag.
The man in the grey coat sitting in the third to last row glanced at him and then looked away, pulling out his cell phone to make a call.
