The two men stop outside the seamstress shop just long enough to split. One lingers at the doorway, casual as a customer. The other slips along the wall toward the rear alley, glancing back toward Shen Lu’s tail.
The security guard slows behind a fruit cart. The Secretary, half-hidden by hanging bolts of cloth, spots a narrow upstairs window easing open above the shop.
The Secretary
There. They are not here for sewing.
From the window, a hand flicks a folded scrap down into the alley. It lands near the second man’s shoe, marked with Sun Yi’s name and Shen Lu’s office address.
Shen Lu
The shop is a relay point.
The guard moves to cut off the man at the alley mouth. The doorway man stiffens, sees the trap, and reaches inside his coat for something small and hard.
The Security Guard
Hold it. Hands where I can see them.
Inside the shop, a woman’s silhouette freezes behind the paper screen. Whoever runs this place has just learned Shen Lu is on them, and Sun Yi is the target.
